Udu ' (Class of 1U5U pmuuitif Jffleta “Spectemur agendo “Let us be seen by our deeds.” Cover by -LA CUMMINGS, ' 50 PEABODY HIGH SCHOOL Peabody, Massachusetts ALMA MATER Of amber bricks, on velvet lawn “Our Campus” stands serene; To us who leave reluctantly Her beauty’s not unseen. We sense a strange and sober air, A feeling known to all, As we withdraw, it grows in strength And we await recall. Yet in our minds we truly know That we shall ne’er return; And breathlessly we stand and watch Those guiding candles burn. No more will outstretched hands emerge To guide us on our way, To give us counsel now and then, To help us every day. Where e ' er we go, what e ' er we do To face this world so grave, We’ll proudly use the wise advice Our “High School Masters” gave. We now withdraw and as we seek The “Road to Happiness,” We leave one thought with hearts sincere, “We’ll miss you, P. H. S.” B. M. Q„ ' 50 Peabody High School META Page Three FOREWORD To the graduates of 1950, this yearbook serves as a perpetual record of four happy years during which countless friendships have been made. Link by link we have lengthened our chain of friendships, memories, laughs, disappointments, and con- quered difficulties. Now our Meta serves as the final link to complete the chain. After graduation, some of us will further our education, some will close the books of knowledge. Wherever you go we hope that your High School memories will follow as a faithful companion to guide you safely on the road to happiness and prosperity. We, the editors of the Meta, sincerely hope that you will spend many enjoyable hours scanning these pages and recalling the faces of your classmates. We hope that you will find in every word, a memory to be cherished; in every line, a laugh or a tear to incite your heart; in every paragraph, an unforgettable character or friend; and in every page, the warm, tender feeling known to you when you were a student. Let this Meta serve as a link between future happiness and past memories. May it ever serve as a strong bond between happiness and every member of the class of 1950.

THE DRAMATIC GUILD Another chapter from the history of the P. H. S. Dra- matic Guild under the very capable directorship of Mr. D. Edward Gorman is almost completed. As we look back on the year or for many of us years we have enjoyed as members of the Dramatic Guild, we cannot help realizing the experience we have gained, the confidence we have acquired, and the spirit of cooperation we have achieved. The Guild has, indeed, been an invaluable, never-to-be-forgotten asset to our school extra-curricular activities. Our officers for the senior year are especially deserving of a word of praise for their unselfishness and their determina- tion to make 50’s Guild a success. Melvin Mizner has performed a commendable task in presiding over the meetings as president. Irene Semenuk has been outstanding in her work as vice-presi- dent. George Gibbons and Carolyn Higgins, treasurer and sec- retary respectively, have carefully kept the necessary records of the Guild ' s financial and social achievements. This year, the Guild has been unusually successful from the standpoint of group spirit. At every meeting, at rehearsals for both plavs, and in all the various associations of the members of the Guild there was abundant evidence of friendliness, co- operation and unity of purpose. “The Bat in the Belfry” was presented in a truly profes- sional manner on December 9th, 1949 and won the deserved applause of the capacity house which greeted our first play as Seniors. As we prepare this little article for our Meta, we are looking forward confidently to our second production of the year, “Doctor’s Orders”. We feel reasonably certain that this production will insure financial success for us in the current year. On January 25th, the Guild hired a bus to Boston and attended a performance of “The Mad Woman of Chaillot.” The adverse weather in no way dampened the spirit of the group who made the trip. During the year we were fortunate in having entertain- ment provided by Mr. Cuddire and Bruce Roberts. Mr. Cud- dire presented us a movie entitled The Bell Telephone Hour. It was a musical film greatly enjoyed by the members of the Guild. Bruce Roberts, a clown and comedian held the Guild ' s attention with his wit and humor. A trip to Nantasket is now being discussed as a fitting conclusion to the year’s activities. We cannot end this resume without first giving our thanks to all the seniors who showed their unselfishness by devoting their time and energy to help us achieve our aims. Good luck to our successors!

THE BAT IN THE BELFRY On December 9th, 1949, the air at P. H. S. auditorium was filled with expectancy as the curtains parted on ‘“The Bat in the Belfry . Throughout the play, the audience was held half in eerie suspense and half in side-splitting laughter by the Dramatic Guild actors. The play, in brief, centered around the mysterious ‘“Red Robe who was responsible for the disappearance of three of six Faelton sisters. The new clergyman, Wayne Westcott, who succeeded his father, was alarmed at the circumstances and brought one of his former school chums, Bill Brown of the F. B. I., to investigate. Meanwhile Jean Faelton, Wayne’s fiancee had hired a detective and the chase was on with the doctor, Jean’s sisters Arlene, Helen, and Marjorie, Lorina, Wayne ' s cousin and the other characters in close pursuit. After a long and comical series of events came Marjorie’s capture and the death of the Red Robe. Amy, the good natured housekeeper supplied much of the humor. Wayne Westcott Rev.

DOCTORS ORDERS On May 5th, 1950, the Dramatic Guild presented its second play entitled, Doctor ' s Orders , a delightful three act comedy. The play centers around Letty Madden, a spinster and major stockholder in the Madden Department Store. Her prim and oh so proper sister Agatha believes Adolf, their cousin and manager of the store, can do no harm, and when a sum of $5,000 is stolen, Rita Norris, his secretary is accused. Letty believes Rita is innocent and a young lawyer finally exposes Adolf as the thief. Letty’s mad antics are a riot especially after a psychiatrist tells her to give in to any and all impulses. The play will be the last word in laughs for any audience. Humor is provided not alone by Letty, but also by the hat crazy minor executives, the neuropathic Specialist and the house- keeper Maimie. For this otustanding production the Guild certainly merits praise. The cast follows: Letty Madden Agatha Madden Maimie Collins Adolf Madden Julia Madden Sarah Arnold Jenny Powell Cora Kent Rita Norris Steve Harmann Jerome Judson Michael O’Neil Dr. Reynolds Jane Paczl{Owsl{i Janet Raymond Laura Witwicki Philip Griffin Pat Riordan Anastasia Tilis Luella Cummings Nancy Sabin Sally McLain Melvin Mizner Marvin Clopper Walter Osgood Robert Muise C.

PEABODY HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Peabody High School Orchestra has become better known this year, and it has come to be recognized as a most important part of our high school music program. Although in past years the orchestra was seldom heard in our high school assemblies, this year it has appeared on numerous occasions and has been very well received by the student body. The orchestra is made up of sixteen instruments. Of these sixteen players, six are graduating and are thus leaving positions which we hope will be capably filled by younger brothers and sisters who are genuinely interested in orchestral music. The following members of ’50 depart sadly but with fond memories from the circle of the orchestra: Fred Driscoll, John Lobao, Ray Mafley, Helen Quirk, Ruth Riverbee and Francis Rosa. As the orchestra is small, it has many advantages, one of the chief of which is that its members become better acquainted with one another. With the smaller group, too, it is possible for our director, Mr. Phillips, to give the members a little more individual attention. The orchestra has this year graced many school assemblies with its beautiful music. It has also played at the annual Night School Graduation, lending an air of grace to this beautiful oc- casion. The work of the orchestra on this particular occasion evoked many compliments both from our school authorities and from those in attendance. As the class of 1950 leaves the halls of Peabody High School, we wish our orchestra the best of luck in future years and we hope that it soon will achieve equal recognition with our high school band. We also extend our heartiest greetings to the new members and we hope that they will carry on the orchestra ' s traditions and customs. Before our final word of farewell we extend our very best wishes for the future to Mr. Phillips, who so capably directs our high school orchestra. H. E. Q. Page Forty-four META Peabody High School PEABODY HIGH SCHOOL BAND As in past years the Peabody High School Band has beer one of the outstanding and colorful musical organizations of Essex County. It not only added color and zest to our football games, but it took part in many other school and civic activities. Among these civic occasions was the opening of the new Municipal Electric Light plant, at which the band paraded to and from the ceremonies in addition to presenting a very fine concert as their part of the program. The band has again this year been under the direction of Mr. Claude Phillips and a new assistant, Mr. McCabe, who at once won the confidence and respect of all the band members. This year, as usual, the marching techniques and formations of the band were under the capable direction of Mr. Leo Murphy and our band showed itself to be equal in these respects to any of the high school bands of the surrounding cities. When the class of 1950 graduates, it will take with it the following students from the ranks of the band: John Cullen, Fred Driscoll, Ann Klibansky, John Lobao, Ray Mafley, Frances Medina, Miriam Quinlan, Helen Quirk, Janet Raymond, Francis Rosa and Milton Trovas. These positions, however, will be quickly filled by the new prospective band members from the various grammar schools, younger boys and girls who have been preparing gradually to fill the places of members who are graduat- ing. We extend our very best wishes to these new members and we hope in the years to come that the Peabody High School Band will increase in numbers and will always be a credit to our school. It is with a feeling of regret that we say goodbye to our fellow members of the band and we shall always cherish the happy musical memories of our high school days. H. E. Q.

THE DEBATING CLUB The Peabody High School Debating Club had its initial meeting early in February, thus marking the return of this popular organization. At this meeting twenty-three interested pupils met with their adviser, Mr. Gorman, to organize the club. The first informal debate, held in March, was on “Social- ism Vs. Capitalism”. Each member presented his views and then joined in the spirited rebuttal which lasted well into the afternoon. On April 12 another informal debate was held, “Resolved: A Student Council would Benefit P. H. S.” Almost all argu- ments were in favor of student government and several partic- ipants voiced the opinion that it was too bad that the Civics Club ' s aim for a Student Council had not materialized. May 2 was “banner day” for this club, for our first formal debate was held on the subject, “Resolved: Socialized Medicine should be adopted in the U. S. A.” The judges decided that the negative side was the winner. The 1950 officers of the Debating Club were: President Janet Raymond Vice-President Marvin Clopper Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Sabin Members of the Class of 1950 who were active in work of the Debating Club were: William Bagley, Warren Lendall, Richard McCauley, Robert Muise, Walter Osgood, Joan Rain, Janet Raymond, Nancy Sabin, George Scouras, Annette Tanzer.

THE RADIO CLUB As the members of the Class of 1950, who were fortunate in being also members of the Radio Club, pass from the high school scene they will look back with considerable satisfaction on the work they accomplished in this group, one of the newer yet flourishing organizations of Peabody High School. The Radio Club, organized only two years ago, assembled for its second year early in November 1949 with a large and enthusiastic membership. The officers elected were President, Frank Carrarini: Vice-President, James LaPointe; Secretary, Wil- liam Carter; Treasurer, James Bouras. These officers we are happy to say have done much to extend the activities of the club and to bring interest and enthusiasm into our varied activities. During the year we have had talks on various types of radio equipment such as: Audio Amplifier, Francis Roy; Code Oscillator, Richard Valeria: Capacitance Relay Set, Donald Allen and William Carter; Superheterodyne Radio, James Met- ropolis. All of this equipment was built or assembled by the speakers themselves and the fact that they were capable of making and using and discussing this equipment is an indi- cation of the type of work accomplished in the Radio Club under the expert guidance of their adviser, Mr. Edmund O’Hara. The members of the Radio Club are grateful to Mr. Barry, Mr. Hurley, and especially to Mr. O’Hara for their advice and encouragement during the year.

ARNOLD Of Mr. Arnold we, the members of the Class of 1950, can merely say that we find it practically impossible to enumerate all the helpful and friendly deeds that fie has done for us during our years in high school. In our fond memories of high school days he will always be remembered as a true friend and a wise counselor. CIVICS CLUB If the Senior Class of 1950 is remembered for nothing else, it should always be remembered as the founder of the Civics Club. We, as Freshmen, under the capable guidance of Mr. Bernard Dullea, Mr. James Arnold, and Mrs. Helen O ' Connor, formed a united and powerful organization in order to further the interests of the Freshmen at Peabody High School. Great were our ex- pectations and now in our iinal year at our beloved Alma Mater, it is our pride and pleasure to see the Civics Club become ever more active as an organization devoted to the improvement of the spirit of our high school. Those who in our first year at this High School took an active part in the organization of this Club (and there were many of us who contributed much in that year) can still remember the heated debates and arguments, the sweat, blood, and tears, that contributed so much in those first days and months of the Club ' s existence. To our very great joy the classes following us have carried on nobly and very, very successfully. But the labor that we expended in founding and establishing this group has helped to instill into the minds of the unsettled and shy freshmen a spirit of confidence and fellowship, a desire to work together, and a practical experience of democracy in action. We were given opportunities to express ourselves through our elections, and in the very argumentative meetings that were held each Friday. We had a voice in the planning and executing of the various activities that developed in us cooperation and straight- forwardness which are not easily acquired as Freshmen. There were times, we must admit, when the organization did not run as smoothly as planned, but this only helped in furthering the friendship and intimacy of its members. We always remained friends. Not only was our success the result of the cooperative spirit of the Freshman class of 1946-1947 and the capable guidance of our advisers, but our excellent choice of officers gave the Civics Club that extra push. With President Melvin Mizner, Vice-President Lucille Moquin, Secretary Irene Semenuk, and Treasurer George Antonio, we couldn’t help being a success! Extra help was forthcoming when committees were chosen, the Aims, Program, and Publicity Committees, helping to bring about and share in the successful results. Dances, rafflles, and pleasant programs were held, which all in all contributed to the enjoy- ment of all its members. Through the efforts of its members and officers and through the unselfish, untiring work of our advisers, the membership of the Civics Club was extended to the Sophomore Class which made the group even more effective in promoting a new Peabody High School spirit. The activities and programs were similar to those of the first year with officers elected as follows: President, Melvin Mizner; Vice-President, Joan Doucette (Freshman); Secretary, Irene Semenuk: Sophomore Treasurer, George Antonio, and Freshman Treasurer, Gabriel Bettencourt. The advantages of the Civics Club are extended to this Senior Class, especially to those who were members either in their Freshman or Sophomore year. To those members the class dues were cut in half! The Civics Club, however, was formed for a purpose, other than that of enjoyment, recreation, stability of Freshmen, demo- cracy and a civic interest. Perhaps the Aims of the Civics Club will better explain: 1. To cultivate civic responsibility and better citizenship. 2. To work toward the establishment of a student council. 3. To secure needed improvements for our library. 4. To improve the facilities of our cafeteria. 5. To promote the cleanliness of our rooms, corridors, basement, and yard. 6. To increase and promote better visual education facil- ities. 7. To orient properly the incoming Freshmen. During the four years of its existence, the Civics Club has accomplished a great deal and has contributed to the improvement of our school in many ways, but the greatest and most lasting of these in the minds of the students is the group of five assemblies sponsored each year by the Civics Club. During the course of each year, this prosperous organization has put aside money enough to pay for five speakers on some subject that is both in- teresting and educational to the students of Peabody High School. This is the project that has made the Civics Club so favorably known both within and without the school building. That Club is to be commended for its valuable service, and we of the gradu- ating class of 1950 wish it continued success in the years to come. — J- P- Page Fifty ' four META Peabody High School SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS Left to right: Gloria Correia, jean Dzierzanowski, Virginia Spiliotis, Alina Loureiro.

PAGE S PEAK, a very popular recreational center, is owned by our civic-minded citizen, JANET RAYMOND. The tour will be made in a massive rocket ship which stands glistening in the sun. This beautiful model was designed by the renowned scientist, JAY TANZER, and his assistants. GEORGE SCOURAS contributed to the radiation system, while MILTON TROVAS, the famous physicist, designed the navigating instru- ments. The greatest sensation is the new type of button on the instruments designed by ALBERT CIMAN. Credit is also due to FRANK SANGER for his work in streamlining the ship and to DOROTHY AIKEN, who has added the woman’s touch to the interior. As the rocket prepares to leave, the Governor’s associates arrive in an ATOMIC-DRIVE CADILLAC. The door is opened and five tall, dark, and handsome individuals step out; “LORD ’ lOHN STANTON, “SIRE GEORGE KARAKOUDAS, “ALL- AMERICAN ED BROPHY, “LEATHER KING TED LAS- KARIS, and “BOTTLE MANUFACTURER JACK SAVY. The president of Peabody University, ROBERT MUISE, with his vice-president, GEORGE GIBBONS and HELEN QUIRK, girls’ adviser at the University, are checking the last minute de- tails. Cheers are heard as the fabulous millionaires who endowed this trip stand ready to christen the rocket. SAMUEL SHEIN- HIT donated a paltry six million, GEORGE ANTONIO threw in seven and LUELLA CUMMINGS hit the jackpot by giving the enormous amount of $1.00. There is a great “zoom” and SHOO, SHOO, BABY” is on its way! ! “BONNE VOYAGE “NEW YORK! NEW YORK! . . A WONDERFUL TOWN!” The Governor’s party arrives at the Waldorf-Astoria, ten minutes after leaving PAGE ' S PEAK. Here they are greeted by the good-natured manager and friend, JACK GOURLEY. Much to their surprise they are invited to attend the wedding of their classmates, MISS CAROLYN HIGGINS and MR. ELTON McGRAY, who are to take their marital vows in the large ballroom at one o’clock. The Governor accepts the invi- tation and retires to his suite. At one o’clock strains of the Wedding March are carried through the hotel. The ballroom is beautifully decorated and the attractive bride is dressed in a blue gown with a nylon overskirt. The maid of honor is LUCILLE MOQUIN, now owner of Liggetts ' drug stores, and the bridesmaids are HELEN MANOS and JOAN KIRANE. RAY MAFLEY, a popular orchestra leader, is the best man and also in the wedding party are JOHN FOLEY and WILLIAM MEADE. At the reception a lovely luncheon is catered by STEWART MacKINNON, who caters at all the best affairs. As the Governor mingles with the guests, he meets ELLEN SCARNEGIE and NIKKI PAPPAS wearing their new PARISIENNE gowns; JOE YONIS telling the gentlemen about some of his experiences as Egyptian ambassador. RONALD BRISSETTE giving a detailed explanation of his new helicopter; and PHYLLIS LANGLAIS revealing the excite- ment of living in Alaska, the forty-ninth state of America. After chatting a short while, the Governor and his retinue are forced to leave, for they have an appointment at the mammoth NEW YORK TIMES building. Upon their arrival they are greeted by the verse writer BARBARA QUINLAN, who graciously escorts them into the office of the editor, JANE PACZKOWSKI. Jane is in conference with the TIMES star repo rter, ABRAHAM SKREP, who is running off a scoop for the evening edition. PAUL DOOK, sports reporter, interrupts the conversation to inquire about his afternoon assignment. There is hustle and bustle in the outer office as NANCY SABIN and VIRGINIA SPILIOTIS busily sketch those exquisite Paris creations which appear weekly. The next stop is at the luxurious sky-scraper of “LIFE Magazine. THOMAS JOHNSON, the cover boy, is causing quite a commotion because he simply won’t pose with Betty Grable’s daughter. But after some persuasion from editor WAR- REN LENDALL and art adviser WARREN DAGLEY, Tommy relents and the cover is photographed. After leaving the building they agree to visit the Hall of Fame. As they walk through the portals of the hall their atten- tion is brought to a portrait of WALTER OSGOOD, chosen Boy Scout of 1955 for his dependable service and leadership of the Boy Scouts of America. On the left are two beautiful statues of Mr. and Mrs. NORMAN LAAKSO (nee JOAN ANDERSON) who have been chosen Mr. and Mrs. America. Further down the corridor they notice a life-sized statue of our F.B.I. detective JOHN CULLEN who succeeded in solving that famous “Brink Case” in 1958. The party spends the rest of the afternoon in the archives of the hall and then leaves for Yankee Stadium to watch a ball game. The night game is between the New York Yankees and the Peabody Tanners. Coach ED GORMAN has a star battery with BILL CONNOLLY as catcher, and DICK CASSIDY as pitcher. Although coach GORMAN has always been a strong rooter for the Yankees, he is confident that the Tanners will win the pennant this year. The Peabody aggregation, of course, wins easily, with Dick pitching his third no-hit, no-run game of the season. The following morning finds the party in the historic city of WASHINGTON, D. C. MELVIN MIZNER. the Presi- dent of the United States, and his able secretary, JEAN DZIER- ZANOWSKI, extend heartfelt greetings to all as they enter the capitol building. Among the employed stenographers is MAR- JORIE VELEZ, who has at last succeeded in obtaining an office of her own with her name on the door. In one of the main offices, VIOLA RISTEEN and PHYLLIS MENTUS are busily oc- cupied with the letters of congratulation addressed to JOHN PARIANOS, newly elected Speaker of the House. GLADYS BABNER is typing reports and ROSE BERTOLDI seems to be so busy answering the ten telephones on her desk that she fails to notice the Governor ' s party. In the House of Representatives, GEORGE PERRIS and WILLIAM PRAMAS, two of the Massachusetts legislators, are engaged in an exciting debate. The argument is centered around the m ost controversial question of the day, Should parking meters be installed for helicopters? Mr. Perris is strongly in OUR CHRISTMAS BALL Peabody High School META Page Sixty-one favor of them, but Mr. Pramas thinks it absolutely absurd. Also debating on the question are JOSEPH VALDOFSKY and RONALD TANKEVICH. In the House lobby, the party meets GEPPY CHIN, our famous ambassador to China. He has just returned from a con- ference in his ancestral country and is overwhelmed with joy at seeing his friends and classmates. In the midst of their con- versation, they are interrupted by IRENE SEMENUK, our am- bassador to Russia, who has succeeded in bringing about truly peaceful relations between Russia and the United States. After chatting a short while, the Governor leaves the lobby and enters one of the outer offices. Seated behind an enormous desk is FRANCIS ROSA, our minister to the newly created province of Kucamonga. Francis tells the Governor of the high positions held by some of their classmates at Annapolis. The party decides to make the day complete by renewing their old acquaintances at the “navy” city. Once again the colossal rocket ship soars through the air and arrives shortly at Annapolis airport. While on the field, the party watches the naval cadets on parade as ROBERT DULA- VITZ, chief petty officer, shouts commands. BEN JORDAN, Lieutenant, j.g. and ROBERT BRYAR, Ensign, notice the visitors, and escort them into one of the executive buildings. They pause at the commander’s office and not at all surprised to see RICHARD SHAW, COMMANDER, printed in large black letters on the door. Dick is discussing the possibilities of uni- fication with Commander GEORGE WILKINSON and Lieu- tenant ROBERT SHEA of the Marines. The business is put aside upon the entrance of the Governor and the day is spent touring Annapolis and talking over high school days. The party’s next stop is at the Mid-Century Beach Club in the sunshine state of Florida. Waiting to carry them to the club are a fleet of Atomicar” Convertibles. As they drive through the grounds, they see ARTHUR MAGUIRE teaching a group of guests the fundamentals of golf. Two of his pupils, CONNIE MARSHALL and BEATRICE MARIA appear to be more in- terested in their instructor than in the lesson. On the fairway is PHYLLIS AUGUSTO, who is preparing to enter the Women ' s Championship Tournament at Tampa. In front of the club house, FRANCES MEDINA is explaining to GLORIA COR- REIA why a different club must be used for each shot. ALINA LOUREIRO, a New York model, is also at the resort with her friend, LUCILLE FERNANDES. As the visitors stroll by the rainbow-tiled swimming pool, they are surprised to see FLOR- ENCE HUTCHINS, head swimming instructor and life saver casually floating in the water. Not far from the pool are the children ' s quarters where the children of the guests are playing under the supervision of their governess, PAT RIORDAN. As they enter the club, they find JERRY FROMER, the owner, smoking a huge cigar and giving manager JOSEPH ESKENAS instructions for the Governor’s Ball to be held in the evening. SALLY McLAIN, “Ice Capad es star, is talking with nurse BERNICE NEILSON, who is caring for ETHEL GOODHUE. Ethel sprained her ankle while playing a vigorous game of tennis with VIRGINIA DIACH1SIN. The orchestra, under the direction of FRED DRISCOLL, begins tuning up and the guests follow ANN BOYLE, who is gaily chattering, into the ballroom. The highlights of the eve- ning are LYDIA MICALCHUCK’S sweet singing, and several violin selections by RUTH RIVERBEE. Both Lydia and Ruth perform regularly at the Boston Opera House. As the evening wears on, the Governor ' s party leaves the hall and once again boards the rocket. The ship glides over the shimmering ocean bound for New Orleans. The Mardi Gras is in full swing as the members of the party stroll down the main boulevard. This festive occasion is being observed with all the pomp and colorful exhibition that has been customary through the years. The crowd begins to drift along beside the Rose Float, which is leading the parade through the streets. Standing on a platform of red roses is the Queen, MARION ANDERSON, dressed in an exquisite white tulle gown. Petite POLLY PUTNAM heads the list of attendants, one of whom is NANCY THATCHER, now appearing at the “Cobra Club” as star soloist. NANCY WASHBURN, her golden tresses gleaming in the sun, is busy waving from atop the float to her many admirers. EVELYN KULEZA, tall and stately, is strewing roses to all the little children she can find. In private life, she is a kindergarten teacher. The female governor of Louisiana, JACKIE HITCH1NGS, i also one of the fair damsels who constitute the Court of the Queen of Roses. At the end of the Boulevard, a grandstand has been erected to permit spectators to watch the awarding of the prizes. Amid cheers of applause, the fabulously wealthy Cotton King, ANTHONY BETTENCOURT, presents a medal to CARL ANDERSON for the “most original costume” which was de- signed by GERTRUDE MASSEY. After all the prizes are awarded, the festivities come to a close and the members of the party retire for the night in one of the city ' s gay hotels. In the morning, they clamber into the rocket and leave for the “Doyle Dude Ranch” in Texas. The ship circles over the ranch and lands gently in a pasture. On hand to welcome the Governor are the owner JOHN DOYLE, and the reception its, SOPHIE WALKOVICH ' The riding instructor, CHARLIE FREEMAN, approaches, leading a group of stallions for the party ' s ride back. Dotting the field are many stables, and in one of them, STRATIS GEORGOULIS is laboriously milking cows. Milking is not Strati ' s regular occupation, for he is a wealthy oil tycoon, and is just helping out during his stay at the ranch. Standing on the steps of the ranchhouse are two more oil millionaires, EDDIE SULLIVAN and GENE STAID. They are admiring the numerous oil wells that surround the ranch. Inside the house, LOUISE FRUTUOSO and WILLIAM BAG- LEY, down for the week-end from Reno, are discussing business. William, a divorce court judge, is discouraged with the low divorce rate and complains that too many people are happily married. The conversation ends upon the party ' s appearance and the guests spend the day touring the grounds. They retire at an early hour for a much needed rest. The following morning, the ship leaves for U. C. L. A. in California. The palatial halls of the administration building are silent as the group approaches the office in which the depart- ment heads are discussing current problems. BILL TOOMEY, head football coach, and ANN KLIBANSKY, girls’ athletic supervisor, are engaged in conference. They are endeavoring to arrange a system whereby both boys and girls can use the gym at the same time without interference. HELEN GARA- BEDIAN, teacher of Home Economics, is greatly distressed with HARRY NORWOOD’S failure to see that the rubbish is disposed of properly. Helen warns him that unless he ad- heres to the scool rules, he will lose his position as head custodian. EDDIE ROLLINS, owner of the ‘Jenny gasoline chain, is also arguing with a department head. He states that two of his gas pumps have been knocked over by careless students and requests that they drive more carefully through his station. Rather than interrupt the conferences,, the party decides to leave the University and fly to the next stop, Holly- wood. The office of producer PHILIP GRIFFIN is buzzing with excitement as the party approaches the Metro-Fox studios. Phil extends a hearty invitation to the Governor to meet some of the performers from Peabody. Among the stars who have as- sembled to greet the party are comedian MARTIN GOLD- BERG, who has recently taken over Milton Berle’s television show; the famous twin actresses NINA and HELEN RUDEN- KO: PAT MENDALKA, an accomplished pianist, who com- poses and plays themes for the studio ' s pictures; and JOHN MLILLARKEY, the Gregory Peck of 1960. Working on the set is EDDIE BARRELL, head studio technician. He is di- recting the erection of props for a western scene. In charge of the lighting arrangements is RICHARD CLARKE, and JOHN CLARE is skillfully directing the sound system. During their stay at the studio, the visitors obtain their first opportun- ity to watch the filming of a movie. After a few scenes have been filmed the guests, led by dramatic actress LAURA WIT- WICKI, begin a tour of the Hollywood business district. The first store visited by the party is the “Bow-Wow Pet Shop”, owned by ROBERT WLASUK. Robert is also ■■ Bpi fm L. 4 ] .J| V. mms , vj ; ■‘ HL. ✓ z A 1 V 1 REMEMBER? Peabody High School META a veterinarian and cares for many of the pets of Hollywood personalities. Across the street is a sporting goods store man- aged by PATRICK SPLAINE. The merchandise he carries varies from golf tees to football uniforms. Pat is also the sponsor of a local baseball team. In the heart of the mercantile zone is a tremendous clothing goods store, called the “Smart- Styles Shoppe.” It is co-owned by GLORIA BORNSTEIN and BETTE STAVROS. Their assistants, BARBARA BLAIS and IRENE SULLIVAN, are famed for the revolutionary dresses they have designed. The business manager of the es- tablishment is HELEN MANDRAGOURAS, and the purchas- ing agents are MARGARET GARDNER and MARY HIG- GINS, both of whom have helped make the store the envy of fashion shops throughout the country. NANCY MANNIX is the store’s private accountant, and she is ably assisted by the head stenographer, MARY DOHERTY. Among the models are PAT STEWART, who appears every week in the nation’s leading magazines, and MARY SCLAVOUNOS, a regular per- former at Paris fashion shows. After leaving the building, the visitors are escorted to the country home of the famous authoress, JANE WILLIAMSON. The party finds her sitting by the swimming pool dictating her latest novel, “Fortunate Fabia’’, to her lovely secretary MARY SILVA. Mary is Jane ' s companion as well as secretary, and the two ladies live a gay but leisurely life in the country. It is a beautiful day and the warm hospitality of the hostesses almost quenches the party ' s desire to leave. However, as little time remains for the completion of the tour, the visitors re- luctantly depart for Seattle. The rocket arrives in time to allow the Governor and retinue to watch the Little Mr. Bigs’’ color television show. The famous Little Mr. Bigs” are none other than WILLIAM CARTER and ROBERT ENOS. Their show, with ROBERT BURKINSHAW as master of ceremonies, has won nation-wide recognition. It originated in Peabody, but was transferred to Seattle when ARTHUR CARLSON and JOSEPH CAPRA, operating salmon fisheries in this city, offered to sponsor it. The direc- tor of the show is DONALD PRICE, and the producer is RALPH SMITH. JEANETTE PRATT, comedian, enlivens the show with her witty jokes. Her script is written by COSTA PAPANDREAU. Some of the show ' s standouts are PEARL BULLERWELL, famed for her modern dance techniques; PAT GEORGIOU and CATHERINE LIACOS, hostesses, whose genial ways have won them many admirers; and BEVERLY GLENCROSS, baton twirler, who thrills the audience with her performances. Also in Seattle is ANDREW GIANACOPLES, a success- ful and much-respected businessman. Andy owns a large fores- ted area, from which the finest wood in the country is obtained. The foreman of his lumberjack camp is EDWARD DULLEA, and ANTHONY TRIANTAFILLOU is in charge of blasting operations. The camp also boasts an inventor in MAX DLUZ- NIESKI. He invented the “Max-Ax” some years ago, whic h chops trees down with one swing. EDWARD MARSHALL is in charge of shipping of the lumber which is transported to factories on the “Gets-There-Fast” railway line, owned by WIL- LIAM MARTINUK. After a trip through the Seven Hills of Seattle the party leaves for Pike ' s Peak, in the scenic Rocky Mountains. The visitors board a streamlined edition of the mule train, driven bv PAUL CHIGAS and JAMES METROPOLIS. As they pro- ceed along the winding path, they notice a cozy, but isolated, bungalow. Waving from the house is the former DOTTY SCOTT. She is married to a “WILD LIFE RANGER” who is studying the habits of the animals in this region. Other Rangers in the outpost are DONALD McKINNON and JOHN GRAY. Donald is in charge of the lookout tower and John sees that the hunters do not violate any game laws. Since there is little to entertain the rangers in their spare time, they frequently travel to Grange meetings nearby. The national President of the Grangers is JOAN FRENCH, while WILLIAM SPEARS is President of the local chapter. ALEX- Page Si. ee ANDER KOLODZIE I is also a local officer and serves . ,is- urer. The visitors are escorted through beautiful vail and mountains, stopping occasionally at lakes to try their at fishing. Satisfied that the day has been well spent, the eive for a livelier site, Chicago, the “Windy City. They are greeted by the police chief PETER ANGELA- KIS. who becomes their personal guide. Peter leads his guests to the Card Club,,” owned by JOAN RAIN and managed by her close friend, ANNETTE TANZER. In 1956, both ladies won national honors for their excellence at various card games. Joan took first prize in “Rummy,” and Annette won the trophy awarded for “Canasta.” The visitors are no match for the pair, so they leave for the underground home of JOHN SIEMASKO, nuclear physi- cist. They are led through many tunnels and doors before reaching his laboratory. Upon entering, they are sworn to secrecy by watchman MURRAY EDELSTEIN, and they read- ily agree to reveal nothing of what they see. Working amidst a maze of glass tubing and pipes is John himself. He leaves his work to inform the visitors that he and his assistants are perfecting the “Beetle-Bomb which spreads peace. When fin- ished, he explains, the bomb’s power will far exceed that of the “’Hydrogen” bomb. His assistants are STANLEY STANIS- ZEWSKI, who is in a far corner experimenting with various chemicals; QUINTIN TRACCHIA, much absorbed in a set of blueprints he has drawn up; and RAYMOND DUNN, who is busily occupied arranging apparatus. The cooking and cleaning are entrusted to agent XB-1, SALLY GIBLEY. Sally gave up her wrestling career to become surface agent for the scientists. The visitors make their exit through the maze of tunnels and shortly reach street level. The party next visits the haven for the sick, the Cure- all” hospital, whose supervising physician is CHARLES COL- LINS. The hospital boasts of never having failed to relieve suf- fering patients (dead people do not suffer, so .... ) In charge of maintenance is ANN MARIE POTTER, and the head nurse is HELEN MANNINEN. ELAINE MENTUS is the physician in the broken-bones ward, while DOROTHY OLEND treats the mild psychopathic cases. It was Dorothy who restored Al- bert Einstein ' s sanity in 1957 with her gentle treatments, after he became deranged from working too vigorously on a difficult problem. Before leaving, the visitors are shown the various in- struments used by the hospital for treating patients, and are informed of medicine ' s latest advances made by eminent doctors. Once again, the rocket ship soars through the air, bound for the starting point of the tour, Peabody. Peering through their binoculars, the passengers sight an enormous pile of po- tatoes at Spudsville, Maine. They circle a few feet above the farm and recognize the fo ' rmer ANN MURRAY with her hus- band LENNIE BROUGHTON. They are prosperous potato growers and own the “Dingo and Bingo” potato farm which covers an area the size of Massachusetts. The rocket fades into the distance and finally arrives in Peabody, amid the cheers of the crowd. Among the graduates of ’50 who have remained in Peabody and are on hand to welcome the party are the Mayor, MIRIAM QUINLAN, fire Chief MARTIN McCORMACK, and City Solicitor PHYLLIS FELLOWS. Leading the band is JOHN LOBAO. EDWARD MANEY, owner of Supersonic Sound Company, has arranged the sound system in preparation for the speeches by the Gover- nor and his retinue. The proceedings are to be broadcast over radio station WPEA, whose president is JOHN McCARTHY. In charge of refreshments are City Clerk DOROTHY PAVLOS and Attorney RICHARD McCAULEY. The refreshments have been donated by the “Hood ' s-CeBrook Company, owned by ROBERT MAHONEY, and the “Crow ' s-Nest beverage cor- poration, managed by ETHEL ROSSOS. P. H.

SCENES FROM “THE BAT IN THE BELFRY CANDIDS Peabody High School META Page Sixty ' seven CLASS DIARY OF ' 50 Another memorable school year has begun — a year of study, of course, together with the many athletic and social activities in which many of us participate. Up and down the corridors of the school, at appropriate times, the merry laughter of students can be heard, who look forward to their class and school activ- ities with eagerness and enthusiasm. On the bulletin boards are- posters announcing future dances, election results, and many items of interest to us all. The year of 1949-50 is one which will forever remain vivid in our memories, for this is the year when we shall finally part with many of our favorite friends and beloved teachers. It seems like only yesterday that we were no higher than the bottom rung of a chair. Look at us now. tall enough to be Seniors! Time flies! Doesn ' t it? With chests expanded and noses high in the air, we possess that superior attitude which accompanies Seniorhood. There’s nothing like being a Senior is there? And there’s no use denying — we love it when the underclassmen look upon us with hero-worship. As we pre- dicted so confidently, the class of ’50 came through! ! !

Cheerleaders sponsored a Peabody-Salem Victory Dance and they very sweetly appeased both cities by dividing the gym in half — decorating one-half in P. H S. colors and the other half in S. H. S. colors. The best bands in the land, via records, furnished the music for the dance. November 6 The Peabody and Salem teams compromised by playing a 6-6 tie this afternoon at Bertram Field. November 9 Under the capable direction of Mr. James Arnold, the Civics Club has again resumed its activities for the year. One of the main projects of the Club is the sponsoring of four assemblies each year in which noted lecturers and famous stars of opera and radio are introduced to us. Assemblies sponsored thus far by our Civics Club are as follows: November 9 Mr. Lynch, champion archer, held us spellbound with his bows and arrows as we witnessed breath taking stunts performed with great accuracy and skill. December 8 Mr. Alfred Calvaniri, noted violinist, serenaded us with his soft, sweet music including many popular and classical compositions. January 4 Mr. Geambey, noted lecturer on flags of states and territories, exhibited his large collection of flags and made some very interesting comments about some of them. A detailed talk was given on our own U. S. A. flag. The assembly proved to be extremely enlightening and we are sure it will be of great use in our history classes. March 30 Charming, attractive, Diana Dixon, champion finger whistler, entertained us at this morning ' s assembly by imitating various chirpings of birds and whistling many popular tunes among which were ' “Indian Love Call , “Cinderella , Whispering Hope”, Holiday for Strings”, etc. We hope that this live-wire organization will have many more assemblies as intellectual, amusing and entertaining as the previous ones, and also to serve as an example and as an incen- tive to future classes of Freshmen. November 17 Report cards were distributed to tortured students — many gloomy and smiling faces were to be seen, but in the course of a few days, all will be normal once more! November 21 Aw, come now, don’t be bashful, smile! No? Well, look at the birdie then! Will we ever forget! Graduation pictures! Some are already in circulation, others are still in process. The studio reported that as yet the camera has not been broken. This year, our class got an early start in having their pictures taken. November 23 Today classes were dismissed at noon in order that the students could enjoy a longer Thanksgiving week-end. December 2 Stand straight; Line up against the wall! Give your name! No, we aren’t facing a Nazi firing squad; we’re only being measured for caps and gowns. December 7 Our Observer Staff presented its Observer assembly this morning. Melvin Mizner, acting as master of ceremonies, in- troduced the members of the staff individually and also ex- plained the necessity of obtaining a large number of subscrip- tions. Short speeches about the magazine were delivered by Carolyn Higgins, Jane Paczkowski, Irene Semenuk, and Jay Tanzer who reminded us that a five-pound box of chocolates would be given to every homeroom whose subscription was 100 per cent. We are reminded of the fact that the students have always supported their school magazine generously and will do so again this year. December 8 Santa knows if you’ve been good Because he has been told And in his pack he carries gifts For both the young and old. Papa wants his slippers, just to Scuff around the floor; Brother wants expensive gifts A bike, and many more. Mother wants some sweet perfume From little brother, Paul. But sister wants an invite To the Senior Christmas Ball. So please take heed unto her plea And ask her right away She’ll dance with joy to know that she Will ride in Santa’s sleigh. B. Q.

The lucky number’s “fifty-two,’’ And Rudolph is the prize! December 13 Today was a big day at P. H. S. — a day both of entertain- ment, education and surprise not only for P. H. S. students but also the students of St. John ' s and St. John’s Prep. Mr. George McDonald, representing the General Motors Company, spoke of the various things that would pave the way for a better tomorrow, taking the atomic era as the center of rotation. The students were impressed with all the gadgets which seemed to pop up from nowhere. December 16 A typical night for the Christmas Ball (without any snow) brought many couples to P. H. S. tonight. But the elements were the least of our worries as we walked onto the crowded dance floor of the gym which was gaily decorated in Yuletide fashion. We waltzed to the soft, sweet music of Billy Higgins’ Orchestra, and can certainly assure you that all who attended this affair will long remember the Christmas Ball of the “Class of 1950 . December 22 School was dismissed at 10:45 this morning after the faculty and students entertained St. Nick and the pupils from the Wallis School. January 3 Here we are trudging back to school after that relaxing Christmas vacation. Don ' t you think that we need one more week for recuperation? ? ? January I I Mr. Thomas Cyrs returned to P. H. S. for the sixth con- secutive year and presented one of his excellent talks as well as a movie of the only camp of its kind for the sufferers of Infan- tile Paralysis, located at Plum Island. Once again, Mr. Cyrs stressed the importance of the March of Dimes. The cases of polio have increased within the past year and it is the duty of everyone, young and old to support this worthy cause. January 17, 18, and 20 Mid Years are on and it isn ' t hard for anyone to tell how things are going. Just look at those glum faces! ! ! ! January 27 The seniors and faculty of P. H. S. have honored Irene Semenuk to represent them at the Daughters of American Rev- olution Pilgrimage in Boston. This award is given to the student who possesses characteristics of dependability, leader- ship, and patriotism. We should also congratulate Jay Tanzer who was chosen as Senator for Good Government Day and Walter Osgood who served as our representative. Congratulations Irene, Jay and Walter. February 16 I’ll shoot an arrow in the air To fall to earth I know not where. If it hits you, I hope you ' ll come To the “Cupid ' s Ball to have lots of fun. My friend, Dick Putnam and his band Will furnish music, the best in the land; So don ' t forget, it starts at eight, And there’s no excuse for coming late. February 17 The Senior class held a most enjoyable Valentine Dance in the P. H. S. gym. Cupids and hearts added an air of gaiety to this affair and Dick Putnam furnished the beautiful music. February 24 We’re free for a whole week! Just think- no homework, no classes and no tests! Whoopie! ! ! March 8 Today Mrs. Patterson from Burdett College spoke to the student body on Personality . She had spoken to us one year ago, and those who had heard her looked forward to hearing her again. Mrs. Patterson gave us many “do ' s and don ' t ' s and told us a few secrets on obtaining this pleasing character- istic. We are anxious to have more of this kind of lectures in the near future. March 29 A humming and buzzing is all that can be heard on the corridors of the first floor. You ' ve guessed it — the Senior Class is rehearsing for that important date — Graduation. March 30 During today’s assembly, we were fortunate in becoming acquainted with our new football coach for 1950, John Be- zemes, who was introduced to the faculty and student body by Mr. Barry. Coach Bezemes delivered words of hope and in- spiration not only to our football team but also to the students. The wholehearted support of the faculty and student body was faithfully promised and in the near future we will proudly look up to a team of P. H. S. whether it be a winner or loser in the field of sports. May success and good luck accompany our coach! April 12 The day of reckoning has come. At an assembly this morning, Mr. Barry announced the Honor Students who are as follows: Jane Paczkowski, Valedictorian: Jay Tanzer, Sa- lutatorian: Irene Semenuk. First Speaker: Melvin Mizner, Second Speaker. The other four students to receive the George Pea- body Medal are: Patricia Georgiou, Carolyn Higgins, Barbara Quinlan, and Virginia Spiliotis. Congratulations also to the students who received Honorable Mention. They are: Marion Anderson, Rose Bertoldi, Geppy Chin, Gloria Correia, Jean Dzierzanowski, Phyllis Fellows, John Foley, Philip Griffin, Ber- nice Neilson, Miriam Quinlan, Helen Quirk, and Frank Sanger. All parts were given to deserving students and we could see from their gleaming countenances that they were proud of their ac- complishments. Congratulations to them for their perseverance and hard work during their four scholastic years at Peabody High School. April 12 and 13 Once again the Senior Class proved its versatility by the presentation of the annual P. H. S. Revue entitled “Spring Practice . Under the skillful direction of A1 Mitchell, the class of ' 50 featured one of the most delightful and entertaining shows. Despite shaking knees and chattering teeth, the cur- tain rose promptly at 8:15. Talent was plentiful and we can assure you that all Seniors who participated in this show will long remember it. We can truthfully boast of our accomplish- ment. May 5 Tonight the Dramatic Guild gave us “Doctor ' s Orders and needless to say, we enjoyed them and, of course, followed them. May 26 The Seniors enjoyed their last informal dance, their Fare- well Dance, and they bid goodbye to all their Freshmen, Soph- omore, and Junior friends. May 29 Amid the joy and sadness of Graduation came that hal- lowed day of remembrance, our Memorial Day Assembly. While listening to each of the speakers, we vowed to those unseen heroes, whom we were honoring that we would do our best to help to make a better world. June 6 Our Senior Year is slowly coming to a close and tonight our class gathered together, at our banquet, for the last time, before our Graduation. It brought to a close our four years of happiness and friendship at P. H. S. Page Seventy META Peabody High School June I I The day of Graduation is finally upon us. Though we have waited and wished for this very day we want to linger a while and stop the ebbing sands of time, yet we go on as we must. We know the future has much in store for us but our faces are stained with the sad and happy tears of Graduation. June 14 Our Reception turned the final page in our book of life at P. H. S. We were gay to the end, but our hearts were sad as we danced to the soft strains of the final song. Our diary of our high school years is ended, but the real diary of the class of 1950 will be written in the future, for it is the years that lie ahead that hold our achievements and sue- cesses.

PEABODY FOOTBALL — 1949 In reviewing the past football season, we find our team fighting with the same spirit and effort that is usually displayed by our school. Although our record was not as impressive as those of former years, the team consistently played hard, clean games. The 1949 season marks the end of an era in Peabody football, an era in which Peabody became recognized as a leading football power. Without the inspiration and drive of Coach Seeglitz, Peabody could never have reached such heights. We owe a great to “Big Bill , and we shall always be grateful for the salutary influence he had on the boys who were under his guidance. Looking ahead to the 1950 season, John Bezemes, a grad ' uate of our high school will make his debut as Peabody High ' s new coach. Johnny has shown himself to be capable and de- pendable by his fine football play at Holy Cross College. We can rest assured that he will give his best as head coach to mold a team that will be worthy of the best traditions of Pea- body H. S. A coach like “Johnny , who can win the esteem and co-operation of his players, can be counted on to turn out winning athletic teams.

BASKETBALL 1949-1950 Looking back over this past basketball season, we find that although our team didn’t set any records as the North Shore ' s hottest team, our Sophomore Studded Tanners caused some first- rate upsets, defeating first-place Lawrence, second-place Beverly and a fighting Classical five. To all of our rivals we gave plenty of competition and in no game did our opponents have an easy time. Although we lost many contests by narrow margins, this year’s team, led by Coach Charley Cook, never once gave up without a fight. The loss of Edelstein and the temporary side- lining of Splaine, as well as injuries to such key players as Co- Captain John Gourley, Paul Higgins, and Steve Sarowski during the season, added that much more misery to our young team ' s young coach who was with us all the way — win, lose, or draw. Fans can certainly testify to the fact that although Peabody ended up in the league cellar we did play some very impressive and hard fought games, and much credit for this should go to our extremely popular Coach Charlie Cook. Promising young players such as Captain-elect Bob Johnson who with this year ' s experience, will develop into one of the finest players on th: North Shore; Steve Sarowski, a Junior next year who has really made the fans sit up and take notice with his deadly accurate set shots: Paul Higgins, a rising star and an excellent ball handler who will also hold his own in his next two years of basketball: Nick Grevelis, an aggressive basketeer who should play even better basketball next year. These boys should provide an experienced nucleus around which to b uild Charlie Cook’s fighting five for fifty-one. As result of graduation Coach Charlie Cook loses Co-Cap- tain John Gourley who collected 131 points for his team, Co- Captain Pat Splaine who played only half the season and collected 29 points. Coach Donahue loses a scrappy player when he loses Joe Yonis who was an outstanding help to our “B” team. As we Seniors pass out of the athletic field at P. H. S. we extend to those who follow the best of luck. And we hope Coach Cook gets a few of those six-footers that he dreams about. We firmly believe we will be hearing good things from basketball in P. H. S. in the years to come. Congratulations should go to Co-Captain John Gourley who v as selected as one of the all-stars on the North Shore, and to Sophomore Paul Higgins who was chosen for the second team all-stars. J.

BASEBALL Our baseball team, as we go to press, is doing very well for itself and when the few remaining games on the schedule have been played, we of 1950 are hopeful that baseball will be a winning sport for us in this, our last year in high school. Under Coach Bezemes, ably assisted by his capable assis- tant Coach Donahue, our ball team is presently occupying one of the top rungs in the Essex County League. Up to date the team has won seven and lost three games. We re second only to Lawrence and we are hopeful that in the closing days of the season we’ll be able to overhaul the league leaders and pre- sent, as a parting gift, a baseball championship to Alma Mater. Among the members of the Class of 1950 who are cur- rently starring on the diamond are Captain A. Maguire, W. Connolly, R. Cassidy, C. Freeman, D. Price and M. Trovas.

HOCKEY by LEONARD BROUGHTON The year 1950 has passed as far as the athletics for the class of ' 50 is concerned but the past school year has produced the best team and the best record of any hockey team in the tenure of the sport at our Central Street school. The hockey team followed behind the favored Gloucester “Fishermen” right down to the final game of the regularly scheduled league sea- son. The Tanners were undefeated when they went into this game with only one tie to mar their record. Our boys had to win this game if they were to take the Northern Division championship; consequently, they took the ice that afternoon in a ra ther nervous, jittery, and tense mood. The Tanners lost the Gloucester game in the first period when the Fishermen scored four goals because of the tenseness of the local boys. in the last few years the students and the supporters of high school athletics have not had much to cheer about but the hockey team of the past season was an entirely different mat- ter. This fact was proved when the sextet from Peabody seemed to improve every week as the season wore on really showing how much interest our own hockey team had aroused among the sporting public of Peabody. On two of the open dates during the Tanners ' schedule they played non-league games with two of the better teams in the eastern part of Massachusetts. In the first they played Gov. Dummer Academy and defeated the prep school boys by a score of 4 to 2. For the second game the Tanners engaged in a contest with Malden High School of the Eastern Massa- chusetts League which the Tanners also won, this time by a score of 4 to 1. When the season ended with the Peabody entry in second place in the Northern division they engaged in a two game total goal series as a preliminary to the Lynn Classical-Glouces- ter championship series. The Tanners won the series by down- ing Revere High with eight goals to take the series and both games by a goal total of eight to one. The main reason why the Tanners made such an excellent showing on the ice of the new and spacious Lynn Sports Center was as a result of the superb coaching of their jovial and well liked coach, Charlie Carlin. The coach spent a great deal of time while grooming the local boys for their North Shore League season. Mr. Carlin ran the team at all times so as to get the most value from each player he used in order to bring the Peabody residents a hockey team of which to be proud. All the boys on the team and also Mr. Carlin would like to acknowledge the kind generosity of Mr. Harry Batchelder who gave the team almost three practice sessions every week at the Lynn Sports Center, as well as some very valuable equipment to several members of the squad. A great deal of credit should be given also to a few girls who came to all of the games to lead the Peabody fans in their cheering. These girls were:: Ann Murray, Helen Camp- bell, Helen O’Connor, Joan Putnam and Sally McLain. Among the members of the Class of 1950 who have hung up their skates as far as the Peabody High School hockey is concerned are: Captain Lenny Broughton, Ralph Smith, Paul Dook, Bill Connolly, Art Maguire, Robert Shea, Costa Papan- dreau, Donald MacKinnon and Dick Cassidy. Those returning for next year are: Captain-elect Ray Jacques, Ray Durkee, Leo Kravchuk, Harry Batchelder, Howie Alexuk, Charlie Tracchia, Eddie Rennick, John Donovan, Roger Broughton, and Bobby Grayton.

GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Under the capable leadership of Miss McNamara, the girls of Peabody High School have learned to participate in sports, to enjoy themselves, and to develop that admirable quality called school spirit. Great enthusiasm has been manifested among the girls in the individual physical educational classes, the program consisting of kickball, volley ball, basketball, apparatus work, marching tactics and softball. For after school enjoyment in the gym the apparatus and tumbling club was organized. This type of gymnastic recrea- tion included mat work, and group combinations. There was a large turn out by the girls and all enjoyed it. The seniors in this group were: Helen Manos, Jean Dzierzanowski, Ann Kli- bansky, Ann Potter, Lucille Moquin, Ethel Goodhue, Ann Boyle, Irene Semenuk, Nancy Sabin, Ann Murray, Pat Riordan, Helen Mannmen, Carolyn Higgins, Joan Putnam, Gertrude Massey, Jane Paczkowski, and Sally McLain. In December tryouts were held for the Girls’ Varsity Bas- ketball Team with many new freshmen and sophomores plus the more experienced juniors and seniors working their hardest to win a position on one of the teams. With Miss McNamara’s fine coaching and the girls doing their best playing, our varsity won every game. The first team has won all games in the past two seasons and the second team has won all games but one in the past three. The mighty six who graduate this year are hopeful that next year’s team and those to follow will carry on the good work. The following seniors were on the varsity squad: Co-Cap- tains Ann Boyle and Ann Klibansky, Phyllis Augusto, Jane Paczkowski, Irene Semenuk, Jean Dzierzanowski, Ethel Goodhue, Gertrude Massey, Carolyn Higgins and Jeanette Pratt.

Thanks to a capable group of seamstresses the last stitch was in on schedule and the blue corduroys sporting the Tanners” made their first appearance at our Classical-Peabody game early in September at Manning Bowl in Lynn. Needless to say, the corduroys and the cheerleaders were well received. We, and we write now for all of our cheerleaders, had during the football season a great deal of enjoyment in our efforts to give our team a little encouragement during a rather difficult season. We appreciate the cooperation of the loyal fans who contributed their vocal support at all of the games and we are hopeful that we in some small measure added to the color of our football games. As we turn in our uniforms to be worn with distinction by next year’s cheerleaders we cannot help sighing as we reflect upon the “good old days” of last fall, now only a very pleasant memory.
