THE META CLu of 1949 Peabody High School Page T wo M ETA Peabody High School FORE WORD This META is symbolic of four happy years — a milestone on our road of life — four years spent in preparation for our entrance into a new life in which we shall discover vast opportunities and assume i mportant responsibilities. Leaving Peabody High School means that this new life will be devoid of the familiar scenes and faces which made the old life so pleasant. As we step forward into this new path of life we are proud of our accomplishments and eager to venture into new fields. On the other hand, we are saddened by the thoughts of leaving those who have become a part of our daily lives. Though we may never recapture the many pleasant moments, we shall always retain their memory. It was Sophocles who once said, “Some mindfulness A man should surely keep of anything That pleased him once.” There is little doubt that these fleeting years have been four of the happiest which life has in store for us. We present this META lest a name, a face, or an event be forgotten. As we turn its pages may it aid us in recapturing the pleasant memories of the Class of 1949.

We think of Mr. D. Edward Gorman, our beloved class adviser. We remember our ever-patient literary adviser, Mr. Frederick R. McManus; Mr. Charles Carlin, our com- petent financial adviser; and our ingenious art adviser, Mrs. Eva L. Haines. We recall all our homeroom teachers, especially those who endured our numerous whims and our ingenious explanations in Senior year. To Miss Mary Luz, Mr. Arthur V. Johnson, Miss Anna B. Carroll, Mr. Edward T. Donahue, and Mr. D. Edward Gorman we offer a wish for better luck with the Class of ’50! As we think back, more and more names come to our minds and we are filled with a deep feeling of appreciation. Words are too inadequate to express our emotions; but we are sincerely and everlastingly grateful. Thank you all!

Peabody High School META Page Thirteen GRADUATION From eyes that seem to understand, From that last inspiring clasp of hand, We draw reluctantly; From that amazing, patient soul With only one, unselfish goal — To teach us — thus to set us free. From th’ endearing shelter of those walls Which echo now our quips and calls, We turn hesitantly; Tho’ some were hours free of concentration And others filled with frantic desperation, We part unwillingly. But into unsolved myst’ries a hundred fold, Into the curious Future we yet must mold, We march expectantly! Taking the knowledge our teachers have bequeathed Mankind’s cherished heirloom, in tact and care ’tis sheathed, We step forth eagerly! F. E. B„ ’49 META Page Fourteen NANCY J.

ST RANGE BOARDERS Peabody High School M E T A Page Seventy-seven “STRANGE BOARDERS” December 3, 1948 was the memorable occasion of an- other milestone in the history of our Dramatic Guild. “Strange Boarders’’ was the third great hit produced and directed by D. Edward Gorman inside of one year. For many weeks prior to the play, all students were kept in constant suspense concerning the plot of the play. The mysterious title and colorful posters in classrooms and corridors by no means lessened the suspense. Finally the eventful evening arrived and, thanks in part to the well behaved weather, the evening was a tre- mendous success. As the curtain slowly opened and the cast saw before them a full house, there seemed to be an added incentive to all members to display their real acting ability. The plot of this mystery comedy revolves about Cor- delia, an attractive spinster who runs a boarding house. Her numerous boarders tend to make an amusing mystery for Cordelia and her two adopted daughters. The play ends with Cordelia’s having won a reward for apprehend- ing some notorious gangsters. The romantic element is brought in when Cordelia finally accepts her persistent suitor. The cast of “Strange Boarders” had the pleasure of enacting their play to a very interested and receptive audience. The success of this play is due in large measure to the efforts of our popular and talented director, Mr. D. Edward Gorman. Words are inadequate in expressing our appreciation to him. The members of the cast included: John Carey, Evelyn Bacherman, Natalie Levin, Walter McHugh, Robert Greene, Ruth Dynan, Madeline Hobbs, David Strauss and Paul A. Leonard of the Class of 1949; John Foley, Fred Driscoll, Jane Paczkowski and Patricia Riordan of 1950, and Eunice Singerman of 1952. Also assisting were: Nancy Clare, Charles Aronson, Thalia Pagler, Mary O’Hara, Aristotle Laskaris, Paul Dris- coll, Judith Gilmore and Elizabeth Ellis, all of the Class of 1949. m Page Seventy-eight META Peabody High School Cast, “ONE WILD NIGHT” Peabody High School M E T A Page Seventy-nine “ONE WILD NIGHT” It can never be said that the Dramatic Guild is a su- perstitious organization — at least as far as Fridays falling on the 13th are concerned, for it was on this date that the Guild, defying all superstitious, presented its second play aptly entitled “One Wild Night”. The plot revolved around a perfectly healthy young man who refused to believe that he could lead an active life. The attempts of the neurotic hero to win the girl he loved despite interruptions by racketeers, schoolgirls, and multiple other distractions made the play a truly en- joyable one. The cast was as follows: Paul Leonard, Patricia Cody, Thalia Pagler, Evelyn Bacherman, Walter McHugh, Robert Auen, Ann Lawrence, Boris Semenuk, Mary O’Hara, Judith Gilmore, Elizabeth Ellis, Charles Aronson, John Carey, and Mary Tsaltas of the Class of ’49 and Ted Laskaris and Irene Semenuk and Melvin Mizner of the Junior Class. The production was under the capable direction of Mr. D. Edward Gorman. Assistant directors were: Roslyn Tevrowsky and Natalie Levin. Stage manager was George Gibbons ’50 and Assistant Stage Managers were Muriel Spates and Marion Holuk. Nancy Clare and Priscilla Mac- Charles acted as prompters.

Peabody High School M ETA Page Eighty -on; PEABODY HIGH STAMP CLUB Stamp collecting has been called the “Hobby of Kings”. While not yet kings, presidents, or even rich busi- nessmen, a group of students, small but select, has en- joyed the thrill of the hobby. Last year, under the direction of our Penmanship Su- pervisor, Miss Emma Adams, a group of about twenty-five students held their first meeting. A constitution was drawn up, officers elected, and twenty-five boys and girls were on their way to becoming philatelists. In our club it is not necessary for collectors to spend a great deal of money to enjoy the hobby. In fact empha- sis is placed on building up a good collection with a min- imum of expense. Sharing and trading stamps is one of the most enjoyable parts of belonging to a club. One of the best meetings of the year was a joint meeting with the Beverly Stamp Club, an adult club. There we saw bourse books and took part in a stamp auction. The outstanding feature of our year’s work was the exhibition held in our library and later displayed at the Peabody Institute Library. Each member of the club en- tered a stamp poster showing stamps from his own col- lection. The exhibits were all of such fine quality that the judges spent over an hour deciding on the winning entries. The exhibit was especially colorful this year as over fifty frames were sent in from the elementary schools. The officers for the current year are: John Carey President Philip Sawchuck Vice-President Fay Merken Recording Secretary Mary O ' Hara Corresponding Secretary William Meade Treasurer Donald Graves Sergeant -at-Arms Other members included Seniors: Thalia Pagler, Warren Peura, Joseph Schramm and Carolyn Van Dyke; Sophomore: Gerald Carey, Ellie Deliv- orias, John Sdoucos, Helen Venios; Freshmen: William Gu- zowski, Florine O’Connell.

Peabody High School M ETA Page Eighty-five Page Eighty-six M E T A Peabody High School glee club Peabody High School META Page Eighty-seven GLEE CLUB During our senior year the Glee Club proved to be one of the most popular clubs of our High School, nearly fifty Junior and Senior girls constituting its membership in ’48 and ’49. The purpose of the club was to offer enjoyment to those who have a genuine love of music. At various times during the year all types of music were sung, including ballads, lyrics, classics and the never-to-be-forgotten songs of Stephen Foster, Johann Strauss, and other noted composers. And after every meeting the feeling of the members of the organization was that the time spent with music and musical activities is indeed time profitably and enjoyably spent. On April 3, 1949, the Glee Club presented at the Peabody Institute Library its first concert, a program which included both classical and popular music. In addi- tion to the numbers offered by the Glee Club and a spe- cial group of selected members, a few talented students, non-members, contributed their services for the afternoon, among whom were William Morrissey, Leon McKeen, Harry Holden, Carol Jackman, Nancy Thatcher, and Joan Cronri- das. The concert proved in every way to be most successful and entertaining, and we hope that a similar musical treat will be offered each year. i The Glee Club is directed by our very capable music supervisor, Miss Grace Lawless. Officers of the Club are: President Aglaia Vontzalides Vice-President Polly Putnam Treasurer Catherine Angelakis Secretary Virginia Speliotis Librarian Carolyn Zielinski Senior members of 1949 who enjoyed their work in the Glee Club are: Catherine Angelakis, Frances Blakney, Marion Holuk, Helena Guzowski, Lucy Mallia, Mary Ann Luz, Mary Meagher, Ethel Poole, Dolores Marshall, Joan Peruffo, Caro- lyn Zielinski, Aglaia Vontzalides, Roslyn Tevrowsky, Mar- ilyn Walsh, Joan Sullivan, Rose Sarkisian, Miriam Smith and Janet Smith.

Peabody High School M ETA Page Eighty-nine The Peabody High School Band and Orchestra The year 1948-1949 proved to be an exceptionally successful year for the band and orchestra of Peabody High School. This is evident from the genuine praise and numerous compliments showered upon both groups at football games and at school assemblies. From the band this year, made up of about forty-five members, nine seniors are graduating. Mary Walsh, Pat- rician Cody, Paul Driscoll, Herbert Snow, Kenneth Peura, Maurice Stelchook, Normand Caisse, Angelo Rizzone and Everett White have all worked diligently and faithfully and contributed their best to the success of the band. For a year and a half the capable student leader has been Paul Driscoll. Through the cooperation and fidelity of each our band has become one in which every Peabody High School student may take justifiable pride. Though not as well known as the band, the Peabody High School orchestra is also an admirable musical group. Of the fifteen members only four are seniors. These four are Kenneth Peura, Maurice Stelchook, Herbert Snow and Paul Driscoll. There have been several additions to the orchestra this year who will help to make it as fine a group in the years to come. Neither the band nor the orchestra, however, could possibly be so successful without the competent leader- ship of the amiable Mr. Claude Phillips, his capable assist- ant director, Mr. Michael Denesuk and the generous co- operation of our principal, Mr. Arthur J. Barry.

Our January stop was at Lake Placid, where we found some adorable penguins dancing around our pretty Snow Queen, Miriam Smith. Lois Sogoloff was our life-sized Valentine, and out- class songbirds, Joan Cronridas and Bill Morrissey charmed us with the “Romance” of the month. We spent the month of March in Mexico, swaying to the smooth harmony of Mary Lou McLean, Mary and Lucy Mallia. Irene Koutsos made a perfect centerpiece for the Mexican group dance. By April, we had traveled as far as Persia and there, found our Senior model, Joanne French. Rose Sarkesian and Lois Sogoloff were charming Persians but we prefer them as Peabodyites. We came back to America to a lovely spring festival, complete with traditional Maypole Dance. Queen of their festival was charming Judy Gilmore, with her court of pretty dancing flowers. “Skip” McKeen serenaded all with a “Song in his Heart”. On to June, the month of brides. Ours was lovely Amelia Sarowsky. Although Paul A. Leonard was left “Waiting at the Church,” his groom, Susan Blake finally showed up. Lola Zionrek, Angelo Rizzone, Barb Leonard and Andy Thaine carried out the rest of the month in grand style. With June Tobin representing the Seniors in her mil- itary tap, the Fourth of July was celebrated. Maureen Bradley was our “Patriotic Picture.” Off to the sunny sands of Hawaii with our bathing beauty, Natalie Levin. Kelly Georgoulis greeted us with an Hawaiian song and as August closed, McKeen, Rizzone, META Page Ninety-three SCHOOL REVUE Poole, Auen and Thaine, our handsome quintet, saw us on our way with some close harmony. Back to school with vivacious Barbara Leonard. The Sailorettes were certainly a peppy group! Next, to Kentucky, where Judy Gilmore and June To- bin got us right in “Country Style” with their song. Ethel Poole was a darling Farmer’s Daughter in Checked Ging- ham, and John Carey called the square dance. November, Cheerleader Doris Hussey led us “Down to the Woods” for a picnic with Bob Auen and his brother as Teddybears, trained by pretty Shirley Campbell. Joan Cromidas carried us on the wings of her song, “What a Beautiful Morning” to Switzerland, where we celebrated Christmas with attractive Ruth Van Dyke and her colorful Swiss-polka group. We then came back to Peabody with our “New Year”, smiling Joyce Vagge. After “Dancing in the Dark” with Bill Morrissey, we met the months, as they stepped one by one through the picture frame, escorted by senior boys. Other Senior couples waltzed to the strains of Shirley Devaney’s “Soft Lights and Sweet Music” and were fol- lowed onto the stage by the entire cast for the finale. The Class of ’49 wishes to thank everyone who helped to make “Hollah-daze” the success that it was. We thank Mrs. Ruth O’Keefe Conley who directed with capable hands the entire production, Miss Lena Armstrong, our pianist, Miss Helen O’Keefe and Mrs. Eva Haines, who assisted in the costume department. We’d like to thank Mr. D. Edward Gorman, who kept the lights upon us. Mr. Lawrence Cuddire who took care of the sound effects, and Mrs. Henry Leonard, our makeup artist. We appreciate the help of Miss Marie Coyle, Miss Mary McNamara and Miss Eleanor Pierce. To Mr. Barry, our teachers, who were so patient with our rehearsals, — we say once more, “thanks a million”.

Lawless OUR CHRISTMAS BALL Peabody High School Page Ninety-nine CLASS How proud we were when we received our class rings in our Junior year and we really looked forward to the time we would reign as dignified seniors. September 13, 1948 Here we are at last as the curtain goes up on the fourth and last act of a little play which has, by no stretch of the imagination, been any “soap opera”. We’ve had a glorious time in high school and as we look ahead nine or ten short months to graduation, we wonder what these days and weeks and months have in store for us. September 22 First on the program for this busy year was the election of our class officers and the following were chos- en: President, Angelo Rizzone; Vice-President, Ruth Van Dyke; Secretary, Joan Lawless; Treasurer, Andrew Thain. Unde ' - their leadership we’re looking to a banner year. October 2 We reported to the Teachers’ Room to be measured for our caps and gowns which we hope to wear with dis- tinction some day next June. We hope we’re not too pre- mature. October 11 Success with a capital “S” marked our first social, the Senior Barn Dance. Dick Haskell’s Orchestra supplied the sweet rhythm for the dancing. The gym was appropriately decorated for the occasion and we welcomed many stud- ents from other schools. Our patrons for the evening were Mr. Charles and Mr. James Carlin. October 29 through November 2 All dates (except history) cancelled as we concen- trated on quarterly exams. November 2 Surprises from coast to coast. Great example of Amer- ican Democracy as voters exercised their privileges. Presi- dent Truman defeated Governor Dewey, and he reigns META DIARY over our country for another four years. Attorney Paul Dever will become our next Governor as he defeated Gov- ernor Bradford. The citizens of Peabody gave our repre- sentative Louis O’Keefe an overwhelming vote and sent him back to the State House for another two years. November 3 The house lights were dimmed, stage was set and in the minds of the audience was this question: Will this assembly “To Be or Not To Be” be interesting? Mr. Richard E. Carradine, a young Shakespearean actor, made his en- trance dressed in 17th century apparel of black velvet. We certainly were all somewhat shocked by Mr. Carradine’s costume, but he humorously explained that this was “that new look” of the 17th century. The Civics Club was the sponsor of this assembly and we hope that this live-wire organization will have many more assemblies as intellectual, amusing and interesting as that of Mr. Carradine. November 7 All dressed up in our smartest blouse or our “sharpest” tie to visit the photographer. No matter what the out- come will be, the photographer did his best. We’re getting an early start! And we’re trying hard not to take too much for granted. November 10 As part of Education Week, parents were invited to visit the teachers at Peabody High School on Wednesday evening. Our parents were greeted by Principal Arthur Barry, Vice-Principal, Timothy McCarthy, and they were escorted to the various classrooms by charming usherettes. The stories our teachers told our parents on this occasion will, of course, never be known, but ’tis a fact that some of us started at once to give a little added attention to our reading, writing and ’rithmetic. JUST INFORMAL Peabody High School November 17 A live-wire Observer staff planned and presented the annual Observer Assembly. Robert Greene, Circulation Manager, made a lively Master of Ceremonies. Editors of the various departments sat upon the stage and were introduced individually to the school. Bob explained the necessity of getting a large number of subscriptions and reminded us of the fact that P. H. S. had always supported its school magazine very generously and would do so again this year. We did! November 18 Report cards given out — not so good! Many gloomy faces. Much social activity to be curtailed — for a while. November 22, 23 Many of us traveled to Lynn to witness our first Shakespearean “movie”. HENRY V with Lawrence Olivier in the leading role proved to be most enjoyable. November 24 Thanksgiving Recess began at noon. Vacation until Monday, November 29. November 30 A red letter day in the calendar! This afternoon we visited the Beacon Hill Theatre, Boston, to see Lawrence Olivier, this time in Hamlet”. December 3 “Strange Boarders” presented by the Dramatic Guild will certainly be well remembered by the audience as well as the cast. Ruth Dynan, Evelyn Bacherman, Natalie Lev- in, Walter McHugh Robert Greene, Madelyn Hobbs, John Carey, David Strauss and Paul Leonard of the Class of ’49. The sensational production of 1949 was presented un- der the skillful guidance of Mr. D. Edward Gorman. We wondered a little if perhaps the talent scouts in the audience wouldn’t be tempting our Senior thespians with attractive offers from Hollywood. December 15 We were deeply impressed by the musical recital of Piero Pierotic, a Croatian baritone, which was an artistic masterpiece. META Page One Hundred and One The highlight of the program came when Mr. Pierotic changed into a costume he wore several years ago on a Vienna stage, while his accompanist played a few of his own selections. December 17 Something new was added at our Christmas Ball. Miss Made line Hobbs, a popular senior, was chosen “Queen” at the formal. She was crowned with a garland of white chrysanthemums by our class president, Angelo Rizzone. The following teachers served as our chaperons: Miss- es Dorothy Lee, Cornelia Sheehan, and Messrs. Frank Johnson and Edward Donahue. January 10 Last evening at the William J. Hallihan Banquet, Bryce Murray was presented with the William J. Hallihan trophy as the most outstanding player on the 1948 football team. He was also the recipient of a gold wrist watch from the members of the S. A. S. Club. The following seniors were awarded sweaters from faculty manager Mr. John E. Burke: Captain John Burke, Jr., Ronald Boyd, Stratis Kirlis, John Mandagouras, John Southwick, Robert Thibodeau and Peter Trovas. “Bill” Seeglitz, our coach, on behalf of the S. A. S. Club gave each member of the squad a ball point pen. January 26-27-28 The half-way mark found us toiling and boiling at our midyear examinations. One and one half hours of concentrated wretchedness, during which we tried to re- call that 80% of our knowledge that all the psychologists say we forget anyhow. We survived the ordeal, however, and we are looking confidently ahead to our finals which are approaching faster than we think. February 9 Today marked the rebirth of debating activities in Peabody High School under the direction of Mr. D. Edward Gorman. It is hoped that in a few short years the Blue and White will regain the debating prestige that was once hers. Roo� v I 0 I f OOiv I 0 3 REMEMBER?

Peabody once again played its home games at Man- ning Bowl, but the attendance fell off from the high figures of previous years. The Tanners opened the season against Malden Cath- olic, losing by a 7-0 score. The following week they were defeated by the “Green” from Lynn Classical, 14-0, and the loyal Peabody fans quickly realized that the young and somewhat inexperienced Peabody eleven was headed for a poor season. Their fears were well grounded as the following games proved to be difficult ones for Peabody, and though usually hard fought, invariably resulted in the opponents’ winning. Revere alone was defeated by the Tanners, 7-0. This was in marked contrast to some of the golden days of Peabody High Football, state championships having been won in 1938, 1940, and 1944. However, the same spirit, same hard work, and same strategy that carried the Tanners to the heights in those days will no doubt, with the influx of stronger material and added experience, begin to make the Tanners respected as of yore.

Peabody High School M E T A Page One Hundred and Nineteen HOCKEY The P. H. S. hockey team, member of the North Shore League, was off to a poor start when they dropped the first three games. However, they finished up strongly by winning four out of the next five for an even break of four victories and four defeats. This year the games were played at the Lynn outdoor rink. The league should receive a greater impetus next season when the arena which will have a seating capacity of three-thousand will be inclosed. The following players form the nucleus of the team this season: Captain William Hallinan, Owen Harriman, Charles Mentus, John Burke, Jr., and Robert Thibodeau. The latter is now in the Army Air Force, stationed in Texas. TRACK P. At the writing, the Track Season is barely under way, but an attractive program is listed. The squad of about twenly-five is on the youthful side which gives promise of assured results in 1950-1951. At present, four seniors are expected to score the bulk of the points — Charles The- mes in the mile run, Stratis Kirlis in the dashes, and George Massios and Charles Scouras in the weights and field events. The schedule listed: Dual meet with Woburn and Peabody. Dual meet with Salem and Peabody. Tri-meet with Haverhill, Dummer Academy and Pea- body. P. H. S.

John Bezemes, former Peabody High and Holy Cross star in football and baseball, was chosen to coach the baseball nine. A large number of candidates answered the call and the squad was finally reduced to twenty-four players, only four of whom are seniors. The four seniors have done well, Capt. Jim Mullane both at bat and at first base; the battery of Henry Dziel- nik, pitcher with Andy Thain, catcher; and Leon McKeen at shortstop. Dzielnik pitched for Peabody in its two vic- tories (Beverly and Classical), and can be expected to do well in the six games that remained to be played. P. H.

Some of our match- es, however, despite the scores, have been well contested and as we go to press we are hopeful that more victories are coming our way. To Mr. James Foley, our coach, we owe a debt of gratitude for his patience with us and his encouragement of us during our initial set backs. We are confident he will surely uncover in the days to come a few golf stars of the future.

Page One Hundred and Twenty-eight M ETA Peabody High School GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The senior girls of 1949 who have taken part in the gym classes are proud to boast of having experienced both the last two of Miss Helen Riley’s wonderful years of athletic guidance and the first two bright and successful years of Miss Mary McNamara as director and guide. Miss Riley, during her years with us, besides the regular basketball and softball teams, organized a bowling club and apparatus group giving students various oppor- tunities to display their talents. In our junior year, Miss Riley’s work was carried on under the capable leadership of Miss McNamara and the year saw the reestablishment of varsity basketball for girls. Though the season did not meet with much success, it gave the girls valuable experience for the following year, developing in them a fighting spirit which proved not to be in vain. During our senior year they won game after game and the team’s record was unmarred by a single defeat. The girl’s softball games of our last two years in high school have also had favorable reports as a result of the enthusiastic spirit of the players. Participation in these games and physical exercise has proved valuable not only to the strengthening of bodies but to the invigoration of a healthy mental aware- ness and respect for the rights of others. There is nothing better in life to help the individual to grow secure and stable, self-assured and appreciative, than by frequently engaging in spirited competition with friendly rivals on the field of sport. It is hoped that the members of our Class who participated in girls’ athletics will be as sincere and enthusiastic in all of their en- deavors in life in the years that lie ahead.
