2013 . 5.86 Yearbook THE META Class of 1947 Peabody High School Page Two META Peabody High School FOREWORD This, our Meta, is the final link in our chain of high school memories ■ — memories of friends, teachers and the carefree days of our adolescence. The majority of us regard the completion of our courses in secondary school as the end. It should not be so — for this is only the beginning. We should consider our graduation as the greatest stepping stone in our life. It is the spot in the river of life where we stop to look around us and take a deep brea th of assurance before we go on to bigger and better things. Some of us will continue our education in the colleges and universities. Others will put on the garb of maturity and go into the working world of adults. All of us, it is hoped, will take our chosen place in society with the irreplaceable foundation of four happy years behind us. Whenever we hit a bump along our road, this will hold us fast to our constant aim for happiness. In a few years from now, the standard jokes of our day will be outmoded to every- one but ourselves. The heartaches which seemed so all-important to us will be trivial- ities then. The editors of this yearbook, your yearbook, sincerely hope that it will bring back these laughs and yes, the tears. We are confident that each graduate of 1947 will spend many happy hours browsing through the Meta and find a memory on every page. Peabody High School META Page Three ALMA MATER Page Four MR.

BARRY Peabody High School META Page Seven OUR PRINCIPAL It is always difficult to put into words the thoughts we would like to express in speaking of our friend and adviser, Mr. Arthur J. Barry. During the past four years at Peabody High School, he has worked unselfishly and untiringly, in our behalf, to urge us along the path to progress and achievement. With kindness, generosity, and honesty of purpose, he has always rendered us the capable encouragement and guidance youth ever needs to surmount the steep and perilous trials of youth. We shall ever look back with deep and sincere appreciation to his kindly efforts to make our high school days an everlasting and pleasant memory. The success we achieve in life will be, in no small measure, attributable to his understanding patience and friendly counsel.

Great, indeed, is the gratitude we owe to them for their sound teaching during these forma ' tive years. Their untiring efforts and endless hours of labor have prepared us, we hope, to become the leaders of tomorrow by strengthening our hopes and guiding us along the long night of darkness, doubt, and uncertainty into the morning light of knowledge and understanding. With sound advice and constant encouragement, they have directed us into new and broader channels of education in preparation for our respective futures. Let us, therefore, do our utmost to achieve our ambitions that we may in this way express a small measure of sincere appreciation for the labor of those who have served us well - - • our faculty.

Levine This past year has undoubtedly been one of the most successful ever experienced — educationally, socially and financially — by the Observer. Its very capable staff, which consisted of reliable members of all four classes, together with the very cooperative faculty members who acted as advisers, were largely responsible for the season’s success. The primary objective of the staff this year was to elevate the standards of the Observer to such a marked degree that it would be able to stand proudly erect among the publications of the best schools in the country. This was achieved by a careful selection of all ma- terial which appeared in the magazine. The literary con- tributions were painstakingly conceived, written and re- written, until they became impeccable creations of youth- ful reflection and imagination. Even the slightest details were unerringly stressed in order that each issue might approach a little nearer to perfection. The art department, which was under exceptionally capable supervision, contributed greatly to the obvious attractiveness of the various issues. A great many new ideas were incorporated into this department, and its edi- tors were given greater responsibilities in the general make-up of the publication. In order to encourage interest in the activities of other schools and create a lively competition among the pub- lications of these various schools, a new exchange system was inaugurated in the early part of the year. Copies of the Observer were sent out during the course of the season to twelve different schools of the North Shore. It was gratifying to note the interest taken in the Observer by those outside of Peabody. Obviously, it has gained a well established reputation among the institutions of the North Shore. The introduction of a suggestion box in the school office proved to be a prudent addition to the resources of the magazine, for it demonstrated to the students the importance of a well organized and well written school publication, and gave every member of the student body an opportunity to participate in the construction of the Observer. One need only hope that in the successive years more students will take advantage of this opportunity. Any tribute to the success of the Observer, however, would not be complete without mention of the priceless aid and advice given the editors by the various members of the faculty. It is needless to say that a large part of the credit for the success of the year was due to these indi- viduals who gave of their spare time freely in order to help make the Observer a well established institution of Pea- body High School and a source of pride to the citizens of Peabody.

The Spirit of ’47 who is now residing on cloud number 153, received permission from the keeper of the Pearly Gates to return to his old haunt, Peabody. After packing his bag, just to make it look more natural, he boarded his purple and red striped jet plane. Upon landing he made the plane disappear in forty-seven puffs of smoke. The following is the record which he sub- mitted to the keeper upon his return. I, the Spirit of ' 47, acting under authority vested in me by “Gabby” (short for Gabriel, you heathens!), have just started my pilgrimage to Peabody. I landed behind the city hall and after making my plane disappear, I went around to the front door and walked up the beautiful marble steps. On my left, I saw a plaque which read: “This building was erected under the supervision of the master architects, JOHN WAHTERA and THOMAS TOWEY.” I was glad that at least two of the boys had succeeded in this world of “hard knocks.” As I turned to enter the building someone went rushing by yelling, “It’s unconstitutional! I’ll see the President! He sounded familiar. Of course! ROY HUTCHEON, who I later found out is called, “The Political Parson.” With a smile on my face, I entered the city hall. On the immediate wall facing me, were three portraits. One, a portrait of NANCY MARRS, the Valedictorian in ’47, was painted by PHILIP LA POINTE. Another, that of HAROLD “SKINNY” BAKER, famous for glorifying the farmer’s daughter, was a masterpiece by STANLEY BAGUSH. The third painting was that of ROGER MAHONEY, the histori- an who wrote “The Glorious History of Peabody.” The name in the corner was DONALD VAGGE. I always knew that boy was a genius with the paint brush. Reluctantly, I left the portraits and walked through the wall to the mayor’s office. MYRNA PARKER was sitting at the secretary’s desk looking very busy. I walked through the door into the mayor’s inner sanctum. There, WILLIAM DAY, the Public Works” Commissioner was drowsing in a chair. It was an intelligent looking drowse, anyhow. The mayor, who was none other than FRANK O’KEEFE was rambling on and on about the next election in which he would promise a secretary on every man’s knee, a new hat for every woman (exclusively designed by ELIZABETH DONION, whose hats are the rage of Paris), and an all year sucker for each child. (This all year sucker is nothing but a door knob covered with molasses. This underhanded deed was perpetrated by GEORGE MANOS, the dog!! I floated through the adjoining wall into the electric light department, where I saw JIMMY DONAHOE looking very industrious because a certain JOCELYN LUZ was keeping an eye on him. I then decided to float through another wall. I landed in the Purchasing Agent’s office where EDDIE BACHER- MAN was sitting at his desk. He was flanked on the left by VERNON WARD, the welfare agent, and on the right by LESTER GOODRICH, the city assessor. These boys were engrossed in a very important “business conference.” They were pondering as to whether PAUL NICONCHUK, the Pea- body Powerhouse pitcher would break his world record on no-hit games this season. It was very probable that he would, for he had a wonderful team behind him. EDDIE turned on the radio in time to catch the an- nouncer giving the lineup of the Peabody Powerhouse. It was as follows: 1st Base— ROY DIACHISM 2nd Base— MELVIN BABNER 3rd Base— NICK MAVROULES Short Stop— RAY “KIKI” SILVA Right Field— GEORGE CALEY Center Field— EMILLIAN RECHETNUK Left Field— WALTER “MOE” SAROWSKI Catch— RALPH BENDER I floated across the hall to the Treasurer’s office. There, I saw BOB TIERNEY counting a gigantic sum of money. There was something peculiar about him though, for dol- lar signs were ringing up in his eyes, and sparks were Page One Hundred and Six META Peabody High School CANDIDS Peabody High School META flying out of his ears like an electric cash register. Watch- ing him was BILLY RATCLIFF, his assistant, with his tongue hanging out. I decided to leave and, feeling like a human being, I walked out. Looking around, I saw something that had not previously caught my eye. It was the beautiful flower garden in front of the City Hall. Working on it was the famous horticulturist, WILLIAM WALSH. He was being scrutinized by SYLVIA “FIFI” SHAW, who was protecting him from SOCRATES ADAMOPOULOS. SOCKY was trying to sell RED some milk-white water lilies raised exclusively in milk vats on his dairy farm. He promised to have them delivered by thoroughbred horses which were raised on the farm next to his. The owner of the farm was RALPH RAYMOND, who had as chief veterinarian BARBARA BRUNI. I crossed the street to the AMARO Motor Corporation. Still feeling human, I walked into the reception room. There I saw HELEN FELIX, the receptionist, making eyes at COLONEL EUGENE FLANAGAN, who was there to place an army order with Mr. AMARO. The Colonel looked very uncomfortable. I didn’t feel human anymore so I floated through the wall into the inner office. There was JOHNNY AMARO with ALICE XINDARIS on his knee. The Vice-President of the corporation, JIMMY PAPPAS, was following suit with MARY STAMATION, and not to be different, NICK RA- FAEL, The manager, and HENRY O ' CONNOR had ISMENE STAMATION and ELECTRA TSALTAS respectively. I felt a little out of place, so I left the office and went into the workshop. Among the group of mechanics, I saw WILLIAM BOUGAS, TOMMY BOYKO, BOB SIE- MASKO, STEVE DECOULAS, AND PETER ANTONIO. Be- side them was RICHARD O’MEARA, six and one-half feet of man, shouting orders to them. In the rear of the shop, sweeping the floor, were RICHARD REILLY and ALAN HUNT, the one-time millionaires. They took time out to watch the television set in one of the cars. The scene de- picted there was the prize fight between ALAN “TIGER” ROTMAN and HERKY “CANVAS-BACK” HARRIS. “TIGER had just kayoed “CANVAS-BACK” in the twentieth round. Page One Hundred and Seven While CHARLIE JANVIER, the referee, was counting Herky out, and Tiger’s manager, Peter Davekos, was leaping with joy, I spied DOTTY DALTON and MARIE CHULYK in a pair of ringside seats, chewing their fingernails down to the quick. I began to wonder how the Peabody Powerhouse was doing in their game against the Salem Striped Sox, so I went back to the inner office where I knew they would be listening to it. I stepped through the wall and then watched one of the best games I had ever seen. NICKON- CHUK was at his best. About half way through, the tele- vision went “on the blink”, so ARCH ESPINOLA was called in to repair it. He carried his equipment in a huge bass fiddle case and was closely shadowed by PAT ARONSON who did some “back-seat” repairing. ARCH had every- thing all in order in a few minutes and the game was resumed. I watched the game until it was over. The Pea- body Powerhouse had done it again and had defeated the Salem Striped Sox with a 2 to 1 score. The announcer, Julia Tofil, appeared and said, “That’s all for today, folks. Stay tuned to this station for the Beach Broadcast which comes direct from Pea- body Beach.” For the next few minutes I was trying to remember how JULIAN had looked without the moustache (he had grown a beautifully distinguished one) so I jumped when I heard a familiar voice saying, “Oh, my goodness, ladies and gentlemen, I wish you could see all the girls. I never saw so many in one place. I wish I had six pairs of eyes.” I looked back at the television set to see ERNIE ST. PAUL going beserk over the beauties at the beach. Just hearing about them was not good enough for me, though. For all I know, the whole thing might be a colossal joke on the public, so I caught the next bus to the seashore, I had a close call when the driver, AL VAGGE, stopped me and asked, “Haven’t I seen you somewhere before? Your face seems familiar to me”. I told him that I had never been in Peabody before this, and still shaky over the matter, I tripped over BOBBY CODY and PHYLLIS LITTLE on the Page One Hundred and Eight META Peabody High School SCENES FROM THE CLASSROOM Peabody High School META way to my seat. They didn ' t hear my “excuse me” because they were very busy discussing the dance they had gone to the night before. ROSE MARIE DOMINGOS had won the Hitt’erslug Contest. The Mitt’erclug is the dance rage now in 1967. After I had been seated for a few minutes, I glanced at the girl beside me. It was EILEEN QUINLAN checking off a shopping list which read: 1 pound steak; 1 can peas; 4 pounds onions; 1 package bicarbonate of soda. I decided that EILEEN did not have much faith in her culinary abilities. I could feel someone staring and I looked up to see AL VAGGE still eyeing me suspiciously in the rear vision mirror. I wanted to leave right then, but someone had the radio on and the music being played had a hauntingly familiar tone to it. This bothered me until I heard the announcer say that we had just heard BETTE BISSON and CLAIRE JANVIER from Vienna where they were on their “Two Piano Tour” of the world. As the last notes faded away, I flew through a conveniently open window. Luckily, I was only a short distance from the beach. The first thing I encountered was CHESTER GUZOWSKI’s Hotdog stand. CHESTER was raptly listening to GEORGE KOTSIROPOLIS recite his latest poem, which was inspired by the prize herds on SOCKY’S farm. It was called “How Now, Brown Cow?” or “The Yanks Are Coming.” A crowd of admirers were sighing in ectasy. A few that I recognized were CLEO NICKOLA, MARIE DULLEA, ELEANOR HUBISZ and PHYLLIS NEWTON. I strolled along farther and came upon MARY ZARU- LES sporting double talk to the inseparable twins JENNIE and JOSEPHINE THACHUK. In the same crowd JENNIE PAPUCHIS, MARY PARIANAS, and AILEEN ZAKAS were adding to the confusion that usually results whenever a group of women get together. They were complimenting ELAINE OBER and ALICE MORRISON on their new book “The Fundamentals of Wasting Time.” Again I moved on. As I passed the playground I saw LOUISE MARRS trying to control some of “mother’s little darlings,” with one little boy who insisted on sliding down the “chute-a-chute” on his stomach I heard LOUIS plead, “But, Billie, the splinters!” Page One Hundred and ' Hine His vehement reply was, “They’s mine ain’t they!” There was one job I would never relish. I left the exas- perated LOUIS and the splintered Billie and continued along until I came across TONY SWIDERSKI, very intent setting a huge trap, and being very careful to camouflage it with seaweed. STELLA PERRIS, ARTIE STYLIANAPOLIS, FRANNIE PRINCE, and PHYLLIS SULLIVAN were whisper- ing nearby. “I wonder what it’s for?” queried STELLA. “Maybe he’s trying to catch a sea monster,” answered ARTIE. “Aw, g’wan, he’s hoping a bathing beauty steps into it,’ remarked ALICE WASILCHUK to MARY CHIGAS on a blanket nearby. I very quietly stated, “Maybe it’s Kilroy he’s after” and then realized that I had forgotten myself again. I had been in my invisible state since I had left the window of the bus. They all stared with wide eyes in my direction. Then they threw each other some queer looks and walked away. I became incarnate so that it wouldn’t happen again. I remembered my original object in coming down to the now sweltering beach so I asked RAY MARTINEAU, who was leaning against a post, to direct me to the place where ERNIE ST. PAUL had needed the six pairs of eyes. He told me to go down to the warm end of the beach, but the wind blew me in that direction automatically. Four blondes standing over near a boat seemed to be more than familiar. Then I recognized those le girls, I mean. They were BARBARA RILEY and BARBARA SPINNEY, in five-piece blue bathing suits and LYDIA MITULINSKY and SHIRLEY SKEFFINGTON in six-piece plaid affairs. The latter two were considering the advantages and disad- vantages of the name “Bob.” A little farther down the way was SONIA GRETCH- ENUK telling MARY CAULFIELD and MARGIE PERKINS how to make Russian “Barscht.” I heard PAT SCHIMPF ask PRISCILLA MAXFIELD. “I wonder where the nine of us are billed for next week?” Oh, I know,” answered PRISCILLA, “We’re in “The Page One Hundred and Ten META Peabody High School “SNAPS FROM HERE AND THERE META « Peabody High School Naughty Nine Reforms” at the Strand and I hear that FRANK ELLIS is the new manager.” I strolled on to the pier where BILLY CHERWICK, CHET DZIERZANOWSKI, and PAT HOBAN, the noted ich- thyologists (fish experts to you illiterates?) were telling MARION AMPELIOTIS, ETHEL ANDREWS and CATHER- INE ANGELAKIS about “the fish that just got away.” While all this was going on ELIZABETH KAKO was reeling in fish left and right to such an extent that IRVING BACH- ERMAN and JOHN McGINN were tearing what was left of their hair out and violently snapping their bubble gum. A noisy mob attracted my attention and I went over to find out what was going on. CHARLES “CHUCK” GILLI- GAN was campaigning for the office of the assistant to the seventh vice-president in charge of handling the affairs for the fourth secretary to the assistant manager of the eleventh vice-president of the City Dog Pound (O.K. just plain dog catcher, then.) Cheering for him were RAY “DIGGER” ALLEN, MARCELLA ANGELOS (the secretary to the assistant to the seventh Vice — forget it!) and BAR- BARA ANKELES the art critic for the Hearst newspapers. Two more of his supporters were NATALIE JURASYK and LILLIAN HUBIS owners of the Woolworth chain. This crowd had me all confused so I went back to the bus stop. The driver AL VAGGE again, and he was still suspicious. Maybe I resembled some of the villains on the “Wanted” posters at the Post Office. At any rate he glared and glared until I had to evaporate into vapor again. Maybe that’s why we had the accident on the next inter- section. I’m afraid the shock of my disappearing into thin air did it. The next thing I found myself, visible again in a hospital room which looked like something out of an interior decorator’s nightmare. I found out later that the polka dot striped walls combined with the plaid trimmings had a very wonderful effect on the patients. The psychol- ogists had decided then soft green and white combination which had characterized hospital rooms back in 1947 where I was born, had too soothing an effect on the patient. It made him very reluctant to leave and thus delayed his recovery. The horrible combination which I was looking at made Page One Hundred and Eleven the poor patient very eager to leave and thus think that he was very much improved in health. When GEORGE LEVINE, the doctor, came in and upheld the psychologist’s theory, I made a sarcastic remark about people with weak hearts. Before he could answer, however, the medical tech- nician of the hospital, RAY NEWHALL, tearing in and showed GEORGE the result of my blood tests. “Look,” he shouted excitedly, “the tests show neither white nor red corpuscles! The man isn’t human, doctor. It’s impossible, but true!” Poor RAY was reprimanded severely and told to leave the rubbing alcohol in the storeroom alone. GEORGE’S imagination could not stretch so far as to realize that I am just a spirit. We conversed for a while and he told me that it had been a nice, smashy, collision. The occu- pants of the car which the bus had it were MARY LAW- LAR, MARY McCAULEY, MARILYN CHANDLER, VICKY PAPANDREAU, PHYLLIS DAIGLE, and ANN CROWLEY. The girls were on their way to a recital which MARY JOAN was to give at the City Hall. The accident would have been a lot worse if the girls hadn’t had a police escort, which was led by the police chief, DON HARRIS. Some of the passengers of the bus were also in the hospital. One of them was PEGGY DECOULAS, the physi- cal education teacher at P. H. S. As I was leaving the hospital, I saw MADDIE SILVA and MARIE COLLINS in a semi-private room. They were very upset about being laid up because it had interrupted the work on their book, “Tall Tales.” I stopped outside the lab to watch MILDRED LAM- PERT with some test tubes. In the diet kitchen, RUTH LEE and HELEN MOFRAN were debating whether the pa- tient in room 24 should get all the extra meals he wanted. After a little eavesdropping, I found out that the hungry patient was AL WILCZYNSKI. I had forgotten my halo back in my room so I had to go back to get it. I walked in to see HELEN GANEY and BLANCHE CARTER, sitting on the bed reading funny books. When they saw me, they resumed their roles as nurses and began to scientifically discuss the color of my left eyebrow. They couldn’t pin it down to any color on Page One Hundred and Twelve META � Peabody High School ' HAVING FUN ' Peabody High School META heaven or earth. (It was the eye-brow that was singed the day cloud 153 had slipped and fallen down.) When I finally was at the door again, I decided to use some of my spirit power and in a few seconds was back on Main Street. I perched atop the monument and looked around. One window was gilded. HENRY MERKEN, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW. I took a peek through the wall and saw RITA ILEAS busily taking dictation. They weren’t accomplishing much because RITA was in a hurry to get down to the dance at the X of Z Hall. In fact, SALLY MANNING was waiting outside the door and telling her to hurry up. Another window was labeled thus: JOAN MOOKA AND EDITH MAHONEY — Teachers of the Dance — Bal- let, Ballroom and Tap. There was a ballet class in prog- ress as I sailed in. The class was made up of BOB Mac- GREGOR, ERNIE LE BLANC, HANK HEIDLER, CHARLIE DIPREADES, LESLIE WARREN, and DAVE VERONESE. I wondered what had prompted the boys’ interest in the tine arts until I saw an all-girl tap dance class in the next room. I recognized two pupils as MARY MANDRAGOURAS and MARIE CRAIG. I went out to the street again and walked around for a while. I began to realize how many of the girls had made good. On one side of the street there was a dress shop which was owned by BARBARA GEER and LILLIAN JACKSON. Their two assistants were FLORENCE MILL- STEIN and CHARLOTTE METROPOLIS. In the next building I found LILLIAN KANTER giving a lesson to her star violin pupil, THOMAS ARNOLD. The radio station which had made Peabody famous, Station PUZ, was upstairs. There, MIRIAM GAGNON and HELEN KERDY were singing for a nation-wide broadcast. The theme song of their program was “I Caught The Ten O’Clock Train While You Were Waiting.” In the next studio was JOHN BALLAS, rehearsing the program which had succeeded “Allen’s Alley”. It was called “Balias’ Boulevard” and featured NATALIE PACHE- CO as Mrs. Bamnush, DEMOSTHENES THEOKAS as Naitus Toody and LEO SAVY as Senator Hornclag. The quartet featured on the program was comprised of ALICE MOR- Page One Hundred and Thirteen RISON, bass; NORMA RUSSELL, tenor; JAMES RYDER, alto and GEORGE SHENAIAN,; soprano. I listened while they went on the air with “Hello, everybody, hello. We are the maniacs who make you tear your hair. So, hello, everybody, hello.” That was enough to make me want to leave. I have to give them credit though. At least they were honest. I walked across the street to the Peabody Institute Library. At first I thought I must be in the wrong place. A huge six-story building confronted me. The floors were marble and the walls were sprinkled with niches contain- ing fountains and statues (minus pigeons). The first door and on my left looked intriguing so I walked in and then realized I was in the Head Librarian’s office. KAY BRADLEY sat at a beautiful mahogany desk while her secretary ETHEL CHRISTO sat at a typewriter — polishing her nails. In an adjoining room SHIRLEY JOHN- SON, KAY’S assistant, was telling her secretary, JUNE HUSSEY, about the new dress she had bought at LILLIAN JACKSON’S and BARBARA GEER’S shop. Outside the office, two girls were busily dusting off some of the best sellers of 1947. I recognized them as VIR- GINIA SELLIOS and AGATHA PEMENTS, HELEN MUR- PHY walked in and asked the girl at the desk, VIOLA PANAGOPOLOUS, for the Book-of-the-Month selection, “Pink Eyes” by AL BINO. I bumped into NICK ROUMELI- OTIS who didn’t see me because he was carrying a huge stack of books. I browsed around and then saw LEO STAID come in and ask BARBARA STEWART for “The Yellow Ears” by A. J. CORNIN, PHYLLIS KARPINSKI came in with ISABELLE LAWRENCE and they asked for “Always Lulu” which was voted the most popular book by the third grade pupils of the South School. A few minutes later, NICK MAVROULES came in and asked for the best seller “A Buttercup Grows in Boston.” I heard some banging over to one side of the building and I went to investigate. Repairs were being made on the west wing. JOHN KOHUT and RUDY LE BLANC and STEPHEN LALIKOS busy painting with one hand and bang- ing nails in with the other. JOSEPH GRAYTON, designing a new wing, was walking around measuring all the walls, Page One Hundred and Fourteen META Peabody High School CITY OFFICIALS FOR A DAY Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Fifteen windows, and ceilings. On the way out, I encountered ETHEL BOURAS, KATHERINE KOUSTOS, MARGARET KOU- VARAS, EVELYN MERANDINO, ANNE STATHOS, and HEL- E N STAVROS, licking some of Adanropoulos’ ice cream cones and discussing the book “The Hazer’s Rage”, which was written by their fellow classmate, MARY VONTZALI- DES, I made my way out to the street, still dazzled by the splendor of the library and bumped into a door which said “Secretarial Agency Within.” I floated through, hoping to find a secretary to snuggle up to my cloud to write out my reports. Four more girls of ’47 had come through. The managers of the agency were JENNIE SILVA, MARY PAP- ACOSTAS, LOUISE POOR and THERESA PELLETIER. In one corner of the room were PAULINE TRACCHIA, VIC- TORIA TSAURIS and BESSIE VALDOFSKY, busily adding up some lone columns which were prettily decorated with dollar signs. I wondered if they were the profits of the agency and became more interested. My thoughts began to revolve around the idea of abandoning cloud No. 153 or renting it to my best friend, the spirit of ’46%. The poor fellow only had half a cloud, but I glanced at a clock and saw that it was almost time for me to start back to my home in the wild blue yonder. I stopped for a magazine to read on the way back and recognized ANN REYNOLDS on the cover. I always thought she would be a success at modeling. I started my trip back with much reluctance. A short distance up, I hitched a ride on a plane that was piloted by ROBERT MAURAIS. The rest of the passengers, im- portant military figures, were ALEYES MARKARIAN, WAL- TER ELCHOOKAN, RICHARD CAMPUS. RICHARD was ex- plaining some codes to the stewardesses, ELEANOR GOV- RUSIK and JEANETTE COOK and NORMA RUSSELL. By the time I had recovered from the shock of seeing ALEYES with a goatee, the jet-propelled plane had swooshed out from under me. Floating airily around among the zephyrs, I began to think all about my pilgrimage to Peabody. Most of the Class of ’47 were successful in one way or another and all of them were happy. I was envious, and began to wish that I was a human, not just a spirit under the supervision of “Gabby”. But my life has its compensations. Those fleecy clouds are soft when I’m tired, as I am now. I will close this report with the hope that the sons and daughters of ’47 will never let me die.

Bette Bisson Sonia Gretchenuk Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Nineteen CLASS DIARY Sept. 9 — On one of those sober and rather melancholy days in the later part of summer, approximately two hun- dred long-faced former Juniors of P. H. S., trudged up those 12 familiar grey stone steps and walked through the menacing portals of that institution. In other words, today was the first day of the school year. Sept. 4 — A tense silence prevails. The only violators of the silence are the harsh tones of the tall man, who stands before a group of clean-cut young men in uni- form, who, in turn, sit facing their commanding officer, their ears straining to catch his every word, a few with their knees knocking together in anticipation of what is shortly to happen. There is a knock at the door and the referee shouts, “Two minutes Mr. Seeg- litz.” Fortunately the spell woven by the words of the coach was not broken by the referee’s knock, for under that spell our Peabody football team emerged victoriously over the Gloucester counterpart to the tune of two touchdowns in the third annual Football Jamboree. Sept. 18 — Today, we, the Class of ’47, exercised our Ameri- can right to vote for the officers we thought worthy to guide us through our last and most important year. The governing of our class went into the reliable hands of: President, Frank O’Keefe; Vice-President, Sonia Gretchenuk; Treasurer, Robert Tierney; and Secretary, Mary Stamation. Under their guidance we expect to carry on in the accepted manner and leave behind us a record unsurpassed in the history of P. H. S. Oct. 9 — Red Cards! Oh, Woe!! Today we go home to find out which teachers were our buddies and which were not. Tomorrow we shall come to school to hear the usual bragging of those who were fortunate enough to make with the interception; while those who were not quite so fortunate will pass by us with crest-fallen faces, as though it was the beginning of the end. Oct. 14, 15, 16 — To pass, or not to pass. That is the ques- tion in the mind of each and every one of us as we walk into the various rooms and submit ourselves to the ordeal of bi-monthly examinations. Oct. 18 — The majority of us trooped down to the auditor- ium with little hope of being amused or having our minds stimulated to the degree that we would actu- ally think; but we were very pleasantly surprised. Instead of the ordinary dull, uninteresting, run-of-the- mill assembly, we found awaiting us, Dr. Tehze Hsieh the famous Chinese lecturer, who gave us, in a most amusing manner, much good advice and many inter- esting bits of information. In his easy manner, he, by use of jokes, gestures and impersonations, passed onto us several aphorisms which proved solid food for thought. He advocated tolerance and modesty; and his ideals, if followed, would certainly prove beneficial to the mental health of us all. Oct. 28 — Here it is at last — the first social event of the year — the annual Senior Barn Dance. From all sides they come pouring in — seniors, juniors, sophomores, and even a sprinkling of the bolder freshmen. The orchestra is delightful, the decorations are beautiful and the dancing is — oh, well, you know it’s the first dance this year and you have to expect things like that. Nov. 1 — The Teachers’ Convention gives us a welcome long week-end. For many of us it will be lost as well as long. Lost in what? Why, in sleep of course! Nov. 13 — No more fooling in study periods no more stay- ing out late at night, no more this, no more that — Yes, we have turned over a new leaf. Why? Last night was Parent-Teachers Night. Need we say more? Nov. 15 — After seeing the money roll in at our Barn Dance, our friends, the Juniors, decided to run a dance of their own. Result: Junior Frolic, the success of which, although we hate to admit it, nearly equalled that of our own dance. Page One Hundred and Twenty Nov. 28 — Turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, corn bread and a bottle of milk. These are but a few of the items which were devoured in due proportions by the students of P. H. S. in their respective homes in the course of the Thanksgiving meal. It is not only the dinner and the few days vacation that we have to be thankful for. Each one of us must have realized how well off and how lucky we are to be living in this great country of ours, for others, who are less fortunate than we are, were starving at the very moment that we were feasting. We should thank God. each one of us in his own way for the multitude of things that he has bestowed upon us during this past year. Nov. 28 — This morning our embattled ball players had their turkey for breakfast and boarded the train which was headed toward Charlotte, N. C., and the heat. As they climbed on the train their determined looks made us believe that it would take the Army team with Blanchard and Davis to keep the victory from our men. Well, we can hope can’t we??? Dec. 3 — We don’t have to ask our football heroes whether thev won or not — it’s easy enough to tell from the crutches and bandages; but the smiles o n their faces indicate that southern hospitality is all that it is sup- posed to be. All the girls decided to take the trips with the boys if they ever go again, just to make sure that these southern girls don’t get too hospitable. Dec. 3 — With swelled chests and chins jutting out in front of them, the students of our school bravely submit- ted themselves to the horrible pain of having a small band-aid like patch stuck to their arms for three whole days. It was well worth the pain, however, for the tests not only gave us the opportunity to com- pare arms and relate the story of the terrible itch we endured, but also proved that not one in our student body had ever contracted that dreaded disease, tub- erculosis. Dec. 20 — Today was quite a big day at P. H. S. The first grade of a Grammar School was invited up here to have a chat with Santa “Brawley” Claus, and, in META Peabody High School their own modest and unselfish way, they told Dear Santa hat they wished for Xmas. We don ' t have to guess who had more fun — the children or Mr. Brawley. Today was also the day we leave for our Christmas Vacation and to top it all off, tonight was the Annual Christmas Ball, an affair which brought out a large crowd, including Seniors, Juniors, Sophs, and Freshies. Jan. 2 — Back up the twelve stairs and in through the door. Buck up, folks only five more months till graduation with two more vacations of a week’s duration. Besides, it’s warm in here and that wind is blowing a gale outside. Jan. 8 — It was announced today that, in the future, we will have to get up fifteen minutes earleir to find out if we can go back to bed. The reason for this new cross for us to bear is that the time of the no-school signal has been pushed back fifteen minutes. Jan. 17 — Name, height, homeroom, headsize — name, heigt, homeroom, headsize — name, height, etc., etc., etc. No, kiddies, not a beauty contest. Just the measuring for caps and gowns, a step that brings us closer to Grad- uation. Kinda makes you feel sad, huh? Feb. 10 — The cheerleaders brought out quite a large crowd when they held their Valentine Dance this Friday night. We congratulate the committee for the very attractive decorations which adorned the auditorium. By the looks of things, Dan Cupid was fairly busy that night. Feb. 14 — Today eleven members of our class attempted to bring nation-wide recognition and honor to our school, as well as a four-year scholarship to the col- lege of their choice, to themselves. All eleven burned midnight oil last night as they hit the books and the bottle (Pepsi-Cola, that is). Whether they win one of the 120 scholarships the Pepsi-Cola Company is offering, or not, we are equally proud of them, for they prove that, even though we have a small school, there are students among us that can and will com- pete with those from any school in the land. Feb. 27 — It’s about time we had a vacation. Our poor little brains need a good rest after all that cramming and Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Twenty-one SCENES FROM OUR SHOP Page One Hundred and Twenty-two studying, which did not exclude weeks of worrying, for those long-dreaded mid-year examinations. This is certainly one vacation which will be put to good use — namely, relaxation. Mar. 10 — Revue Rehearsals are now in full swing and, if walking through the corridors at any time, you can usually catch someone unconsciously whistling or humming something like “Happy Days Are Here Again’’ or perhaps “There’s No Business Like Show Business”. Yes, the time is drawing near when we shall recognize our own talented fellow-classmen, such as, chorus girls (remember, boys?), Ziegfield Beauties (how can we forget!!), and our own P. H. S. comedian with his funny, long nose. and “Come wiz me to ze casbah.” Mar. 14 — It sounded like the stampeding of a herd of cat- tle, but in reality it was only some ninety-nine per cent of the student body of our beloved Alma Mater on its way to room 103 and the tickets, which went on sale today, for that show of shows, “Hollywood Hotel.” Mar. 18 — No, your eyes are not deceiving you. It’s the truth; but according to the teachers holding a study class in the balcony of the auditorium, it’s not a very satisfactory arrangement. Maybe it’s fortunate that this condition is to exist for only one day. Apr. 7 — A notice was sent around that candidates for the golf team would be joyfully received in room 302 at the close of school. This notice was met with gleeful shouts from the members of the 1:30 club who im- mediately started to pick their teeth with golf tees in blissful anticipation of the woods, ponds and sand- traps of their favorite, self-torturing sport. Apr. 9 — The organization meeting of the Draamtic Guild was held today and it was with great pleasure that we, of the Senior class, greeted the news that this organization, whose operations have been suspended since 1943, was to become an important part of the school life once again. Although none of us will have the opportunity to participate in the Guild, it gives us a sense of satisfaction to know that our younger META Peabody High School brothers and sisters will be able to reap the benefits of this worthy organization. Apr. 9 — The organization meeting of the Dramatic Guild locker room, broad-jumped over the benches, put on their uniforms, hurdled over the threshold and were off in a cloud of dust. Yes, track practice started in earnest today. Apr. 15 — We were pleasantly surprised this morning when many of the teachers were in such good spirits that they didn’t assign any homework. Why the complete about face on the part of our instructors? It all goes back to last night when the Parent-Teacher’s Associa- tion had a banquet. It is amazing what free food and — oh well, what free food will do to a person. Apr. 17— Today we honored our honor students by allow- ing eight of them to sit on the stage of the auditorium with Mr. Barry, amidst the cheering and applauding of the entire student body of the P. H. S. We are justly proud of these students, who, for the past four years, have proved themselves capable of capturing the top scholastic honors at P. H. S. We also offer con- gratulations to those twelve students receiving hon- orable mention, and, who, after a bit of coaxing, mod- estly stood up while their fellow-classmen showed hearty approval. Apr. 18 — The spring football game between our own Pea- body High team and that of Saugus was held tonight at Manning Bowl and, although we missed the fa- miliar faces of the various members of our senior class who have participated in this sport during the past year, we were justifiably proud of the perfor- mance of the team which, although composed mainly of newcomers, shows great promise. Apr. 18 — Well, kids, it’s all over now, and from what we heard and saw, rehearsals were not held in vain. We (at least the seniors) think — well, anyway, we know our show was one of the best ever put on by the high school. Could be that we’re a bit prejudiced, but just think it over and you’ll discover — well could be. Apr. 23 — Hurray!!! We won a baseball game today. This leaves us in great spirits as it was the first game of OUR TYPIST Peabody High School META Page One Hundred and Twenty three Page One Hundred and Twenty-four the season and the victory puts us into a tie for first place in the league standing. Apr. 23 — Clean faces, combed hair, sport coats and even, neckties! What’s the occasion? Why, it’s time for the pictures of the Meta Staff, honor students, etc., to be taken. An observer of the scene made the sug- gestion that the hoonr students should forego a bit of their sobriety and acquire some of the monkey-like grins that were displayed by the Meta Staff. Apr. 25 — Our Observer Staff finally got the idea that it was time that our school magazine was removed from debt and they hit upon the idea of sponsoring a dance. The work that the staff put in, the beautiful decora- tions, and the excellent music were not wasted as the dance proved to be the most successful in a year of successes. Apr. 25 — Well, whatta you know Another vacation. This gets sort of boring (?) after a while, don’t you think? But then, we work so hard in school (I wonder if the teachers think so), I guess we deserve it. May 5 — Here we are, back to school again. But cheer up, kiddies, only fifteen more days of school. May 23 — Today is Liberation Day. In other words, V-P Day. (Victory in Peabody to you whose brains have hibernated for the summer). This definitely calls for a celebration so, we are holding a Farewell Dance, or so-called Spring Festival, in the Auditorium tonight. This is a new idea thought up by our ever-original class officers, who, by the way, deserve a vote of thanks and a big hand, for leading our class success- META Peabody High School fully through the year. We may be joyful now, that this is the last day of school; but wait until tonight. It will probably be the first dance held in the history of P. H. S., that more sad faces than cheerful faces are shown about. May 26 — Eat, drink, and be merry — for Sunday we — sob — graduate. What care we if they force us to consume huge quantities of turkey and the fixings! We will meerly have to raid the chemistry lab and counteract the ill effects by consuming equally huge quantities of NaHC03. To us who haven’t had chemistry, that is Sodium Bicarbonate. June 1 — The day that we have been looking forward to has arrived. For four years, we have worked toward this afternoon. We have been counting the days and even the hours until this crowning moment was to come. And now, now that the day of Graduation has arrived, we find that there are fewer smiles than sighs as we learn, as others before us have learned, that Graduation is a sad, not a happy occasion. June 3 — The last of our class functions the Senior Recep- tion, has come. We became free agents three days ago, but we have gathered again for a last farewell. We are beginning to wish that we had four more years to spend in the old, wonderful place, but, since that isn’t possible, we will have to go out and take on the world. After the preparation we have received, we can’t fail. So look out, World, here comes the Class of ’47!

The bowling club has expanded in membership, holding its weekly meetings at the Metro Bowling Emporium on Foster Street. The apparatus club has become the physical outlet for all. — fearful Freshmen, saucy Sophomores, jaunty Juniors and scintillating Seniors. Many fascinating dance routines were learned including “Rufty Tufty”, “The Arkansas Traveler”, “English Folk Dancing”, the “Waltz Clog”, and many others. Because of the new equipment, all girls quickly signed up for gym and more than one Senior was heard sighing, “Why didn’t they get all this equipment when I was a Freshman?” The following Senior girls participated in gym classes this year: Ethel Andrews, Pat Aronson Bette Bisson, Bobby Cody, Barb Bruni, Peggy Decoulos, Rose Domingos, Ma- rie Dullea, Helen Ganey, Barb Beer, Eleanor Govrusik, Sonny Gretchenuk, Rita Ilias, Claire Janvier, Shirl John- son, Margaret Kouvaras, Isabelle Lawrence, Ruth Lee, Blanche Carter, Marilyn Chandler, Ethel Christo, Ethel Bouras Jean Cook, Helen Murphy, Phyl Newton, Elaine Ober, Natalie Pacheco, Vickie Papandreou, Jennie Papu- chis, Mary Parianos, Myrna Parker, Theresa Pelletier, Marjie Perkins, Stella Perris, Ann Reynolds, Barb Riley, Phyl Little, Joy Luz, Mary Mandragouras, Sally Manning, Nancy Marrs, Louise Marrs, Priscilla Maxfield, Mary McCauley, Florence Millstein, Lydia Mitulinsky, Helen Mof- ran, Alice Morrison, Norma Russell, Pat Schimpf, Virginia Sellios, Sylvia Shaw, Mary Vontzalides, Alice Wasilchuk, Mary Zarules. — Indicates outstanding gym work.

H. S. Our team was this year considered by many fans as a com- plete failure because of its inability to win a majority of its games. Financially, however, it was one of the most popular teams on the North Shore, and in the course of the season, brought probably the highest revenue in the history of sports at Peabody High. But in judging of the success of any football team, these considerations should not be considered too important. The success of the team should be evaluated by the amount of the good the play- ers derive from a season of play. Speaking of the financial success of this year’s team, we might express here the sincere hope that in the years to come a sizable amount of the money earned by the football team might be used in the development of other sports at P. H. S. so that a greater number of pupils of future classes might share the benefits of participation in high school athletics. One of the leading controversies during the football season, and at times during the winter, was, “Should Peabody construct a football stadium?” Technically, Pea- body has no home field and all the home games must be played at their adopted field — the beautiful Manning Bowl of Lynn. On one side we have those who are in favor of building a football stadium in Peabody. The other camp is composed of those who believe that no stadium Peabody could construct would ever be better than the present system of using the Lynn bowl. One local news- paper man suggested that the proposed Auto Racing Track be permitted to be constructed and the center of the track be used for a football field. If nothing else, this proposal, at least, gives some food for thought. BASKETBALL Basketball, during the sports boom of the last few years, has risen to a spot of importance after having played for many years “second fiddle” to baseball and football. Attendance has shown a marked increase and probably the reason it does not stir up even more inter- est is the inadequate facilities available for staging big time basketball . Another reason many people aren’t too interested is the referee’s whistle, and most of the fans will concede that it does blow a little too often. It seems that in the near future there will be a battle between basketball and hockey regarding which will be the most popular winter sport, with each sport having many loyal supporters. BASEBALL Peabody at this writing is trying hard to work its way into the first division of the fast Essex County League with its record of four victories and six defeats. Thus far, double victories have been taken from Gloucester, and single victories over Beverly and Lawrence. Peabody has four more league games to play, including its annual two game series with Salem, and triumphs over their Witch City rivals will make the year a successful one. Paul Niconchuk and Roy Diachisin have pitched well bearing the burden of the pitching, but weak hitting on the Tanners’ part has hurt their chances. Other seniors who have contributed more than their share are: Frank O’Keefe, George Caley and Nick Mavroules in the infield and Captain Ray S ilva in the outfield. HOCKEY Worthy of special note this year is our Hockey Team, the first year that Peabody High has ever taken to the ice sport. The team won third place in the North Shore Hockey League, which is a remarkable achievement when we consider the fact that although they played organized teams, they were little more than a scrub team, that is, they did not have the benefits of a coach, equipment, or home ice on which to practice and play. We venture to predict that in future years Hockey will become increasingly popular at Peabody High, and, if suitable indoor accommodations are ever procured on the North Shore, the sport might even rival football as the most popular High School sport.
