We yearn to dart forward onto that road, New-found freedom excites us; As we prepare to carry our load, We realize how much you ' ve done for us. You were always there with a helping hand, We ' ll miss your open door; There are so many things you understand, Can’t you these years restore? F. G. Peabody High School META Page Five FOREWORD We have now passed one of the most important milestones in our lives - graduation from high school. For some of us it will mean the end of our formal education; for others it will be the commencement of more extensive schooling in order to help us to prepare further for our lives in this very complex world. Yet, Peabody High School, in both its physical and immaterial aspects, will always remain in our hearts as the place where we formed our first lasting friendships, where we first experienced the thrill of loyalty to our Alina Mater during the tenseness and suppressed excitement of our first football games, and where we learned imperceptibly, but none the less completely, how to get along with others and how to accept them as our friends. We do not know what the future holds for us or whether we shall have the necessary courage and fortitude to meet the problems that face us, but the different people, places and events which contributed to the molding of our characters and our individual personalities during our high school years will have been the best preparation possible for the tasks which lie ahead. Now, nothing can dim the hope and unwavering optimism in our eyes as we look with confidence to the future. This META has been created for the express purpose of making a permanent record of those persons and events which have formed a tangible and closely related part of our lives during the past four years. Although we experience a certain feeling of hesitancy and doubt at the realization that now we must leave these surroundings in which we have spent four happy and profitable years, we are eager, nevertheless, to step forward into the world to face confidently and courageously whatever the fates have in store for us. We, the editors, hope that in the years to come, the scanning of this META will serve as a real help to all of us in recalling the many fond memories of our happy high school days. M. M.

Page Ten META Peabody High School In iHnnnriam Mwb Utartnu A. ftUuiartij Shortly before Christmas Day of 1952 the entire faculty and student body were saddened to learn of the death of Miss Moriarty. Although she was with us as teacher and friend for only a few short weeks of our Senior year, we recognised in her many qualities that we admired, qualities which in future years we would do well to emulate. We know that none of us who knew Miss Moriarty will ever forget her friendly manner, her unbounded patience, and her conscientious devotion to duty. Peabody High School META Page Eleven IN APPRECIATION Before we leave Peabody High School and the final chapter is written of our days here, we wish now to extend our most heartfelt thanks to our teachers who during the past four years have done so much for us, and who have displayed such an interest in our development and well-being. The preparation of young minds so that they may take their place in society is a difficult, though rewarding task. Our teachers are to be commended for their fine efforts in our behalf. There is no doubt that without their guidance and help w e would have found the struggle towards adulthood much more difficult and trying. We will steadfastly try to justify the faith and confidence that they have placed in our ability to succeed, and we appreciate deeply and humbly their expressions of good will and their never ending patience in dealing with the prob- lems that we presented to them from day to day. To those persons who have done so much for us during our Senior year goes a special vote of thanks. Mr. Frederick R. McManus who gave so much of his time and effort in assisting in the construction of the “META” is deserving of our most profound expression of gratitude. To Miss Mary Luz; we present a bouquet of thanks in recognition of her splendid work as our financial adviser. We sincerely want to extend our thanks to Mrs. Eva L. Haines who so ably aided our art editors in the preparation of their work for our year book. To Mr. Edward Donahue we shall be forever grateful for the help that he has rendered us in his capacity as our class adviser. Our homeroom teachers, Miss Mary Lus, Mr. Arthur V. Johnson, Mr. Thomas Callahan, Mr. Edward T. Donahue, and Mr. D. Edward Gorman have done their utmost to answer our innumerable questions concerning our Senior year at P.H.S., and their kindness and thoughtfulness shall always be remembered by the class of ’53. To Mr. Arthur Barry, our principal, we owe an outstanding debt because of his contributions to our welfare as an educator, and his interest in us as future citizens of our community. May we express our deepest gratitude by saying simply, “Many Thanks.” Last, but not least, comes the entire faculty and the many friends of the Class of ‘53. To them we owe much, for they have guided us on our way to maturity through four years of the most important years of our lives. We will never forget them, and we shall be everlastingly grateful for their understanding and consideration. Page Twelve MET A Peabody High School EDITH L.

She has succeeded in unearthing valuable literary talent in the lower classes, insuring the Observer of future competent editors-in-chief. Not only did Joanna put all the Peabody High “Shakes- peares” to work but she also worked hard behind the scenes writing editorials, editing, and reading proofs. She wishes to thank all the staff for their numerous acts of helpfulness. William Beres is to be commended for his efficient management of the advertising department. Without the success of this department, the Observer is an impossibility. “Bill” and his staff really did a wonderful job. What would happen if everyone on the staff had done his job perfectly, but we had no subscribers? Leave it to Mary McNichol to handle the Circulation department success- fully in her friendly executive manner.

DRAMATIC GUILD As we come to the end of our studies at P.H.S. we suddenly realize that the time has come to say good-bye to our friends and teachers and embark on a new and exciting life. However, as we glance back, we realize that no other activity held our interest as did the Dramatic Guild. For this, we have but one person to thank, Mr. D. Edward Gorman. The Dramatic Guild first came into existence at P.H.S. in 1936 through the efforts of Mr. Gorman, whom we know to be a patient and understanding person, never asking more than we can do. In the 1936-1937 seasons, two plays, “One Mad Night and “Another Mad Night , were presented at the City Hall, although no organized club existed. The cast was made up wholly of students who were keenly interested in dramatics. By 1939, the work done by Mr. Gorman was so well known that the first official meeting of the Guild was held, a constitution drawn up and officers elected. At this time, there were sixty-five members in the Guild. During the war years, when Mr. Gorman was in the service, the Guild was inactive. In December of 1947, the first play after his return from the service was produced. With this started the present activities of the Dramatic Guild. Two plays are presented each year, a mystery in the winter and a light comedy in the spring. The program this year has been a full and enjoyable one. The first event on the program was the production of the winter play, “Night of Terror . (This as the title implies was a mystery which kept everyone on the edge of his seat trying to solve a murder.) Early in February, the Shubert theater in Boston was buzzing with students from P.H.S. who were attending the play “Wonderful Town” starring Rosiland Russell. No one attending this play will ever forget this enjoyable night. When spring came, it was time once again for the annual spring play. This year, the play which attained success was “The Form Divine”. (Remember the rehearsals in the corridor outside room 308 with the laughs and endless talk? Remember the times that we missed our cues and forgot our lines? And remember throughout this that Mr. Garman never got angry or became impatient with us?) And what went on in our minds on the “Big Night”? How did we ever go on? Well, if it were not for the confidence that Mr. Gorman had in us, we never would have presented successfully either one of our Dramatic Guild productions. Early in June, with graduation drawing near, we took a day off and went on that wonderful outing that only the Guild could plan so well. When we review the pleasant events and happenings of the Guild, is it any wonder that we regret leaving P.H.S.? The Senior class members of the Dramatic Guild owe thanks to Mr. Gorman not only because he was our adviser but because he was a true friend ever ready to offer all of us at all times the help and encouragement we so often needed.

NIGHT OF TERROR DECEMBER “Night of Terror : Warning:- Everyone keep off streets. Killer on the loose. Murder reported. On Dec. 5th, everyone in the audience in the P.H.S. auditorium became a detective for one evening. Their task was to solve the murder of old Rufus Thorndike. The living-room of the old Thorndike mansion, remotely situated in the country, was quiet when Christine, the niece of Rufus Thorndike arrived there with her friends one week- end. Her fiance, Lee Kempton and her friends, Janice Newbury and Rus Julian, all felt uneasy at her uncle’s home because of Agatha, the sinister step-daughter of Uncle Rufus and the peculiar servants, Lolita and Reynolds. Uncle Rufus had a phobia for changing his will. When he was murdered, the sheriff, Len Allerton, arrived on the scene to take over. First suspicion falls on one and then on the other. To add to the mystery, Delia Steven, a newspaper reporter looking for a story gets involved, fn the end, through the curiosity of Lee and the aid of the medical examiner, Dr. George Ingraham, the killer is proved to be the sheriff who was in love with 5, 1952 Agatha and wanted her to inherit her step-father ' s money. The sheriff is arrested by State Trooper, Tony Nason and everyone goes back to the normal pattern of life.

Lights, places, curtain going up — on the Dramatic Guild’s annual spring presentation entitled The Form Divine”, a delightful three-act comedy featuring a Peabody High School all star cast on May 15, 1953. Rehearsals were held two nights a week and were cer- tainly lots of fun for all — but as we look back upon those evenings of forgotten lines and cues, we remember most of all, our patient director and sincere fritnd to whom we owe the success of the play, Mr. D. Edward Gorman. Lu Webb spurred on by the insinuations of her teen-age daughter Hoppy, husband Arthur, maid Gretel and old school chum Charlotte, begins to see herself as a terribly drab, fading wife and mother — together with her friend Dorothy Coips she enrolls in the “Beautiful You” school of beauty. When Arthur finds out about this — there are fireworks!!! but all turns out well. We certainly can’t forget Hoppy and her friends whose proplexing problems (including Jimmy) add to the good humor and comedy of the play.

Television and radios are tuned in, and all eyes and ears are anxiously awaiting the day’s events at Washington. The sky is bright and clear, the wind is brisk and cool, and an air of expectancy hovers over the crowd. We see television camera- men scattered about. There’s JAMES H. KILEY, our television cameraman broadcasting the beginning of the days’ exciting events. “Hello, America! This is Jim Ki- ley, speaking to you today with the best wishes of LARRY R. McINTIRE, president of Narragansett, brewers of the country’s most delicious ale and beer. Keep tuned to Station DGP for first-hand reports on the inauguration scene. I ' d like to thank the following sponsors for relinquishing their time so that we might bring you this im- portant broadcast today on Channel 12 . “9:00 a.m. — The Wonder Cake Company, owned by ROBERT G. COOK Sons, sponsors of the in- formative ‘News Hour,’ ALEX PRUE commentator. “10:00 a.m.- The NELSON M. BROWN Perma-Bobpin Company, makers of the clever bobby pins that hold, set, and control your hair per- manently, sponsors of ‘Helpful Hints to Husbands. ' This program is m.c.’d by the incomparable SHIRLEY ERNEST. “10:30 a.m. — Thanks also to the new comedy show, ‘In-laws are Here to Stay,’ starring STEPHEN BARNA, JR. and SHIRLEY ATKINSON. This program is brought to you daily by Vitameatavegamine, the pure, non- alcoholic drink that makes you peppy and keeps you that way all day. FREXO FRED BOUGAS especially endorses this invigorating beverage for ping-pong players. Mr. Bougas is one of the body-guards of the president- elect, and a United States amateur ping-pong artist who has been captur- ing the hearts of the Russian maids during his last good-will tour abroad. Comments Mr. Bougas: “Without vitameatavegamine, I wouldn’t have power to hit the ping- pong ball, and I always take a ‘swig’ before going on the job to protect our president-elect.’’ CLASS PROPHECY— 1953 “11:00 a.m. — The Wilkinson Blast- ing Company, owned and operated by RAYMOND WILKINSON, sponsor of ‘The Peaceful Hour. ' The company wrecks useful buildings and makes use- less products, some of which are am- munition, fire-crackers, and dyna- mite.” “Last but not least, we’d like to thank the sponsors of the 12:00 ‘Bride and Groom’ program: LOUIS EFTIM, owner of the Jiffy Can-opener Company and RICHARD J. MAJES- KI, who owns the Majestic Publishing Company. They collaborated to pub- lish the new cook book written by BARBARA F. BAKER, ‘Two Hands and a Can-opener. ' ” “The day turned out bright and clear, in spite of the prediction of snow by C. O. W. weatherman, JOHN E. CHERWEK. I turn you now to DONALD SHELDON at TV Cam- era II, who ' ll describe the beautiful floats from all parts of the nation. Come in, Don.” “Hi, folks. This is Don at Camera II, and as you can see, the floats are nearly ready, except for a few finish- ing touches. We can thank ROBERT L’ABBE, inventor of the wonderful TV color tube for the chance of viewing the floats in their splendid array of colors. The tube, incidentally, is made in Massachusetts at the Syl- vania plant managed by EDWARD WATERS. “The first float that we see is the Texas float. On the float is a tower- ing oil pump around which are a number of celebrities . . . FLORENCE BALLAS, who introduced the D. A. haircut to the south: FERNANDO TRUEIRA and AMER1CO N. COI- TO, co-owners of a string of moving vans, and LOUIS J. O ' KEEFE, man- ager of the mammoth annual rodeo held by the FFF ranch, owned by FORREST F. FELT. The float is drawn by four white horses and a handsome stallion. RICHARD GOUR- LEY, an oil multimillionaire, is riding the leading horse. Maybe we can get him to say a few words. “Oh, Mr. Gourley! . . . here he comes, folks. “Tell me, Mr. Gourley, I suppose your lovely wife is here for this oc- casion?” Well, suh, to tell the truth, I only had room in muh trailer to take muh wife. Naturally, I did the logical thing any decent Texan would do.” . . . (yawn) ... “I just took muh horse! “Thanks, Mr. Gourley. Let’s get back to the floats. The second is from Hollywood, and what a float! Such a collection of beauties would be diffi- cult to match. There’s CAROLE GIR- GUS, star of TV’s ‘Blondie’ of the ‘Blondie and Dagwood’ films; MAR- CELLA R. DOWLING and JOANN SALTZMAN, up and coming stars; . . . and there’s one male among them! Let ' s take a closer look with the camera. He seems to be enjoying himself, surrounded with so many pretty girls. Well, I’ll be! If it isn’t JOHN PAUL JONES! He ' s current- ly wowing the crowds at the Brown Derby. In fact, ‘Red’ Buttons just lost a million dollar suit against him. ‘Red’ claims that his ‘hey, hey, ho, ho!’ was what brought Jones fame and his present status, while John Paul says it’s all in the way he makes his pants sag! “The New York float is something out of the ordinary. It is based on the United Nations with each beauty rep- resenting her native country. I see a pretty Dutch maid in full attire, a French miss wearing the usual ... a French beret, straight skirt, and an exceptionally attractive sweater. Rus- sia has her best entered, too, complete with Babushka and all. Last but cer- tainly not least, is lovely Mrs. Ameri- ca of 1963, the former SHIRLEY KOBAN. She is wearing a white, strapless bathing suit. Shirley always was known for her economy! “The last float is from the President- elect ' s home town, Peabody, Mass. Lying flat on the float is a large leather skin representing the former main industry, and on it is a mam- oth ‘juke box ' representing the new industry of the city, music. Ever since the increasing development of sparkling talent in the past ten years, the city has been rapidly adapting it- self as a music center. Around the ‘juke box’ is much of the city’s best talent, as well as many of her prettiest ladies. Some that I can make out are: the former EVANGELINE “TOOTSIE ARGEROS, who of late has been teaming up on records with many of today’s greatest; SHIR- LEY J. MARSHALL, Mayor OUR CHRISTMAS BALL Peabody High School META Page Fifty ' seven GEORGE A. DEMERITT’S private secretary, PEGGY J. DECOULOS, who owns and operates ‘Peg’s Frills ' n ' Fashion Shoppe ' , the former SHIR- LEY PARE, head of the North Shore P. T. A. Council. There’s the former PAULA PRENDIBLE the lucky housewife who recently won the na- tional pie-baking contest at the Chi- cago Housewife’s Annual Fair. VIR- GINIA WENDELL, runner-up for the past three years, made quite a fuss when it was revealed that SYL- VIA ROSA and LORETTA PRESS, judges of the contest, were former classmate ' cf Paula. “I’ll switch you back to Camera I and . . . wait! Who ' s that coming up the avenue? Oh, yes. Hopalong ' Cas- sidy rides his horse in the parade. Oh, no. It’s PETRO TSOUKALAS garbed in a cowboy outfit and taking Hoppy’s place. He looks quite au- thentic with boots, plaid shirt, etc. Even his feet have that look of a well-worn cowboy! . . . now back to Jim Kiley.” “This is Jim again. We are in front of the White House, and the plat- form is rapidly being filled with many famous people. There’s Admiral AN- DREW SULLIVAN, of the Navy, Admiral FREDERICK G. BLACK, of the Coast Guard, accompanied by his able assistant, Commander JOHN M. GALLO. Leading the delegation of governors is WILLIAM BERES, gov- ernor of the State of Massachusetts. For the first time in history, we also have a governor representing the new states of Hawaii and Alaska; Gov- ernor of Hawaii WILLIAM J. AL- LEN, and Governor of Alaska F. JAMES CRONIN. Behind them are Senators from Massachusetts HARRY BATCHELDER and CHARLES MO- GAVERO, famous for their speeches against teen-age driving. Following the Senatorial procession are the United States Representatives, including those from the President-Elect’s home state. Most popular of these are JOSEPH F. DINEEN, THOMAS P. CARES, and the former PEGGY SPELIOTIS, ad- vocate of ‘Equal Rights for Women.’ The young lady has been so success- ful, however, that the male represen- tatives of Massachusetts are seriously thinking of a poll tax for women. “While we are waiting for the pres- idential party to arrive, here are some of the officials for today’s proceedings; Director of U. S. Military band, ROBERT BAZER. The Vice-Presi- dential oath will be given by Senator WILLIAM RUSSELL from Michigan; and the Presidential oath by the Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, the Honorary FLETCHER I. OAKES. The Star-Spangled Banner will be sung by JOANNA WITHAM, fol- lowed by the Invocation by the Rev. WILLIAM B. DALEY. MILES J CARES, head of the Secret Police, has our future president well protec- ted with his special staff of HAROLD J. CONROY, |R. ; WARREN P GIBNEY, PAUL PELLETIER, SPIROS XERRAS, and MURRAY WHITE. “WILLIAM C. ATKINSON is coming in now on Camera 4.” “This is Bill Atkinson at Camera 4. The presidential car is surrounded by body-guards PAUL F. HITCH- COCK, HARVEY RASTER, and JOHN P. MULLIGAN. The chauf- feur, ALEX KRAVCHUCK, is help- ing the president into the car. Al- though the usual head-wear for a President is a Homburg or silk top- hat, designer ELAINE DAVIS created the ‘hom-derby’ especially for our new woman president. She is accompanied by her husband and the outgoing pres- ident. Indeed, Washington Chief of Police PAUL W. MANOS, has done an excellent job of clearing the streets. As the presidential cars are leaving for the inauguration, here’s THOMAS KINGSTON at the inauguration plat- form. Come in, Tom. “Good afternoon, ladies and gentle- men, and thank you, Bill. While we’re waiting for the presidential party, let’s pick out a few of the celebrities gath- ered. We see BARBARA I. JAR- DINE, chief stewardess at United Airlines. JAMES V. GAGNON, Chief Engineer instructor at M. I. T., JOAN McMORRILL, new head of the Wacs, and JOSEPHINE Y. De- CARLO, who opened the first of many ‘Rest Homes for Men.’ Miss De ' Carlo is contemplating selling out the prof- itable business to LITA A. CAIRES, but Lita claims the price is too high. There are a few of the outgoing pres- ident’s friends looking on, not too happy at the prospect of a woman president, MICHAEL J. GERAS, who recently completed a ten-year hitch in the Marines, MARTIN J. FREEMAN, U. S. golf champion, and FRANK J. MEDINA, JR., a bank teller at the Warren National Bank. Frank, we’ve been told, has been rapidly advancing, and is now at the Mortgage Window. Without any further delay, we will focus the camera on the President-elect and her party. The chic, tux-styled suit she is wearing was designed by THALIA MEKEADIS. The exciting new fragrance, ‘Madame President,’ that our new President is wearing was created by VIRGINIA R. HOLDEN. The parade was so colorful that one would mistake the inauguration for the Easter Parade The party has finally reached the platform, the invocation was graciously received and the National Anthem b autifvlly sung. The Pr sident has taken her oath, and just given an in- spi ing Inaugural Address. People are cheering madly as she is congratulated by some of the new members of her cabinet: Secretary of State CARL SEABURG, Secretary of Defense ANN M. MAHER, Secreta-y of War SHIRLEY WALSH, and Secretary of the Treasury DOROTHY URQU- HART. The President is about to depart for the Inaugural dinner at the Palace Hotel, which is under the manage- ment of SAMUEL KERTORIAN. The food of this hotel need hardly be mentioned because the Kcrkorian specialties are internationally known. Madame President is surrounded by reporters . . . there’s the editor of the Boston Globe FRANCES V. GLE- BUS and the well-known journalist, IANE A. FENNESSY. Even HA- RRY J. KARAVOLAS, man about town, is here, munching on his gum. He is accompanied by his body-guard WILLIAM F. KACHINSKI. The “F.” stands for “frustrated.” Some one is trying frantically to get the President’s attention. It’s LAW- RENCE P. McCAULEY, and heY wearing his pink suspenders today! Larry is in charge of the day’s enter- tainment. The President has finally managed to start her journey to the Palace Ho- tel. Let’s listen to PAUL WRIGHT at the Palace. “ . . . . and the hotel is really mobbed.” Throughout the dinner we’ll be able to interview many celebrities such as the sensational international figure skating star, lovely CON- STANCE WARING. Connie will have her own weekly ice program on television beginning next month. There’s PETER KUSHKOWSKI, the new singing rage. Mr. Kusfikowski had a difficult time during his last visit to Paris. It seems the French gals almost held up the boat! That ‘man of the world’ ALEXANDER M. CO- VER is also present. Alex has seen more world tours than the presiden- tial candidates. Oh, oh! Don’t look now, but here comes the head waiter ARMEN SARKISIAN. The popular fellow, who is sought after by leading night spots, is known as “the dancing waiter, for every time an orchestra plays ‘Go, go, go!’ he goes! The Pres- ident and guests have now appeared By the way, it ’s amazing how a pair of pink suspenders have upset an entire nation. Larry has really started some- thing, for the President’s husband is wearing them, too! The inventor of these trend-setting suspenders, WIL- LIAM TRABUCCO, should be satis- fied that he has so many demands for them, but Billy says he’s sorry he Fa ge Fifty-eight META Peabody High School BARN DANCE Peabody High School META Page Fifty-nmc didn’t have enough of his matching pink boots made in time. “The guests are all seated and din- ner has been served. The head waiter, Armen, is doing an excellent job, ex- cept for the unfortuate instance when he tripped and spilled ice water down the back of WILLIAM KAROLIDES, who is covering the inauguration for the n ew magazine owned by HELEN VONTZALIDES and IRENE SDOU- COS, ‘Us Girls.’ While everyone is enjoying his dinner, I’d like to take the time to thank the following spon- sors for cancelling their programs so that we might bring you the rest of today’s events. 1:00 p.m. — the Ruppert Knicker- bocker Company, ROBERT CAR- PENTER, North Shore representative, sponsoring the exhibition game be- tween the Boston Red Sox and the Milwaukee Braves. Since Tom Yaw- key has announced his retirement, it has been rumored that he has been grooming his private secretary, MARY N. COSTAS, to take his place. 3:00 p.m. — The ‘Prevention of Cruelty to Parents’ Society, GEORGE CROMIDAS, President, Chairman, Treasurer. This society sponsors ‘The Human Bean.’ Incidentally, George, father of five sons, is determined to have his own family football team. 4:00 p.m. — The Tenney Gum Co., owned by RUTH TENNEY, sponsor of ‘Super-girl,’ starring RAE F. KEL- LEY, with her supporting cast, RICH- ARD J. O’BRIEN and JOAN L. BRADLEY. The play is based on the musical score ‘I ' m Forever Blowing Bubbles.’ 5:00 p.m. — The Kanaracus and Kirstein Kod Liver Oil Company, owned by the former AGNES M. KANARACUS and PHYLLIS A. KIRSTEIN, sponsors of ‘One Fool’s Family,’ starring JAMES P. LeBLANC ' Co-starring are ANN C. MATVI- CHUK, CAROL A. NEWTON, and JACQUELYN MICALCHUK . . . ” Dinner is over, and this is the first time a President has disappeared into a LADIES ' Room to powder her nose. It’s time for the parade to begin, so let’s tune in on RICHARD SIEM- ASKO in Parson’s Square. “This is your reporter bringing you the highlights of the Inaugural Par- ade. We see the former NOREEN VAGGE, celebrated baton artist, with her adorable five-year old daughter. They are leading the Peabody Drum Corps, which is under the supervision of PHILIP SMIGLIANI. Following them is the Peabody float, on which we see many title-holding beauties, such as Campus Queen ‘Mickey’ EDITH AIKEN, national swimming star URSULA PYBURN, and SHIR- LEY M. SPENCER, who, as Captain PHILIP PSZENY informs us, was se- lected last week as the ‘girl they’d best like to go hiking with’. Following the Peabody float is Captain PETER TORIGIAN of the Second Parachute Division. ’Pete ' had a special para- chute made for himself, because with an ordinary one, he’d always make a nose landing. The other floats are now coming within view. There ' s the inter- nationally known circus clown of Barnum Bailey, EDWARD REN- NICK. The parade is so huge, there’s hardly room for anyone ... In the midst of the excitement, an on-looker had a fatal heart-attack. Fortunately, EDMOUND PELLE- TIER, an undertaker, was on hand and took care of matters nicely. We are now at Pappy ' s palatial Ball Room, jointly owned by MARY PAPPACOSTAS and VIRGINIA A. PAPACOSTAS. Many of the country’s top names are assembled here tonight. There ' s GERALD J. De- LUCCA of grid fame speaking with MARY SEDLIER and BAYNE MANOOGIAN, debutantes of a few years back. NANCY LALIKOS, chief surgeon at Massachusetts General Hos- pital in Boston, appears to be having an interesting conversation with WIL- LIAM D. HOBEY. Mr. Hobey is the head scientist of the Dupont Corpora- tion, who discovered the formula for the new material called Pylon. Pylon, incidentally, is the matterial used for Madame President’s gown. The gown, a stunning blue and white was de- signed by BARBARA SHERRY. Biff” also designed her own gown. Here ' s PRISCILLA YOUNG and PAULINE ZAFERIOU, script-girls for M.G.M., and NANCY THORPE with her travelling companion, GLO- RIA PETERSON. Miss Thorpe is touring the country with the money she inherited from a wealthy uncle. HENRY SECORSKY and company has just entered the ball room and is causing quite a disturbance. “And company”, of course, refers to Henry’s six dogs. He has been training them to behave ever since he bought them from BARBARA K. LETTENEY three years ago. The entertainment should begin any moment now. The first to perform will be the team of BARBARA A. MURPHY and CAR- OLE M. JONES. The girls hate to break up the team, but both are mar- ried. Carole thinks it would be a good idea to bring their husbands into the act. Two orchestras are providing music for us tonight. At one end of the ball-room is ANN M. McCARTH ' i and her all-girl orchastra. It is inter- esting to note that although Ann is Republican, she insists on hiring Dem- ocratic musicians. She claims it makes her work more interesting and shar- pens her political debating power. At the other end of the ballroom is the U.S. Military Orchestra conducted by X. ROBERT MENIATES, who re- c.ntly completed his program at West Point. “This is DOROTHY L. JOHN- SON speaking for Vogue. 1 can’t help mentioning that the former JANICE J. JACKMAN is here, and, as usual, she is wearing a stunning original. Speaking to her is JOHN R. Mac- KINNON, world-known movie pro- ducer, accompanied by his wife, the former SHIRLEY A. GREGORY There’s the former MARY FEDAS, wife of the present Chief Adviser and JENNIE E. DLUZNIESKA, quickly gaining a reputation as a second Su- san Hayward JOHN D. CHAM PLAIN and JAMES R. McGINN, top photographers from “Washington To- day,” are also here. This political magazine is owned and operated by the only woman publisher in Wash- ington, ELIZABETH KOMARIN. I see RITA C. LaBELLE, SHIRLEY ST. PIERRE, and MARY M. CUL- LEN, private secretaries to leading ex- ecutives from the President ' s home town. Next to them NANCY T. FARIA, owner of the “Ti-dee Diaper Service.” MARCIA E. BIEDER- MAN, famed historian who is to write the biography of Madame President, and WILLIAM R.

The President is reading telegrams just received from personal friends that were unable to attend the inau- guration . . . The former JOAN M. DENNEDY and her hubby send their best wishes . . . Heartiest congratula- tions are sent by MARY A. EAGER, now teaching shorthand at Peabody High, and by former ANN M. GIAN- ACOPOLIS, also of Peabody. MARGARET M. NEVINS, who just sold her rights to her latest dress designs to SHIRLEY A. MORSE for “Morse’s Dress Shoppe, can be seen leaving with CAROLE A. NICKLES and JOAN D. KAVANAUGH, who are associated with I. J Fox. They have to catch a plane back to Boston for an important conference with GEORGE R. LEONARD of the Leo- nard Modeling Agency, and BETTY SACCONE, greatest authority on et- iquette since Emily Post. PHYLLIS E. HERMAN, manager of the Pea- Page Sixty META Peabody High School p§| TOBl HERE AND THERE Peabody High School META Page Sixty-one body Credit Bureau, and LEONARD RUSSELL, who recently remodeled the Metro Bowling Alleys in Peabody, are also leaving. Saying “good-night” is the former ELIZABETH FRENCH, who recently sued her third husband for divorce, on the grounds that he looked too much like her first husband. Following “Frenchie is MARY GAL ARIS, whose “Grippy Girdle Shoppe ran out of supplies during the last- minute rush, and BEATRICE PITCH- ER, covering the inauguration for the Boston Daily Record. Last to congratulate our President, MARY McNICHOL, is the former THEODORA KARAKOUDAS and her husband, co-owners of “The Daily Chronicle (formerly the Peabody Times,” and of “Dolly Records. And so ends one of the most ex- citing days of our time, the inaugura- tion of the first woman president. The last tune has been played and the final note sung. The crowds are quickly leaving as the lights are being dimmed. Dolly’s husband is calling her . . . . “Dolly, . . . Dolly, . . . Dolly! . . . ” . . .Dolly, wake up! Don’t you know what day this is?

Revue Study Period Pottery Fire Football Graduation New School Page Sixty ' two Peabody High School META Peabody High School META Page Sixty-three CLASS DIARY Our life at Peabody High began as we tip-toed up to our Freshman homerooms for the first time. Through the course of four eventful years we have increased in age and wisdom until we are now able to walk across the stage at P.H.S. and receive our diplomas. Between that first day and our last we had dreaded departmental as Freshman, ran the Civics Club as Sophomores, elected officers and presented a formal dance as Juniors, and did all manner of interesting things as Seniors. On the following pages we will present some of the dates and events of our Senior year which we will cherish long in our memories. September 3. A new school year begins as we all troop back to the classrooms. For us Seniors it is the last September that we shall spend at Peabody High and we are determined to make it the best year of all. September 12. The results of the Senior Class elections were posted today as follows: President, George DeMerritt; Vice-President, Virginia Pappacostas: Treasurer, James Cro- nin; Secretary, Edith Aiken; 101 Home Room Representa- tive, Mary Costas; 102, Shirley Gregory; 103, John MacKin- non; 104, Barbara Murphy; 105, Pete Torrigian. September 19. In preparation for the first football game of the season the whole school limbered up their lungs with the famous “Yea Coach, Yea Team! October 3. This is the day the teachers go to school and the students have a day off. Three cheers for the Teachers ' Convention. October 8. That wonderful organization, Junior Achievement, sent a representative to speak to us today. As a result of this assembly many Juniors and Seniors took advantage of this splendid opportunity for executive exper- ience so conveniently offered by J. A. this year. October 13. Today we celebrated another holiday in memory of the discoverer of America whose birthday was yesterday, October 12. October 17. Dungarees and slacks held precedence over more formal fashions as the Seniors presented their annual Barn Dance. This can safely be called the most corfortable dance of the year. October 20, 21, 23. Bimonthlies put a blight on social affairs for the last few days as we all buckled down to study- ing for the dreaded exams. October 24. A rest for our weary, hard-working brains came in the form of a Civics Club dance. Everyone contri- buted toward making it a social and financial success. October 28. Mrs. Joseph Freitas of the Peabody Woman ' s Club spoke to the Junior and Senior girls on the subject of the scholarships available to students at Peabody High. The Woman’s Club scholarships have helped many girls on to college and the winning of one of these scholarships is a very worthwhile objective toward which to strive. November 6. The Civics Club presented the first of its series of five assemblies today with President Paul Ruelle ably introducing “The Gloom Chasers,’’ Myrnella and Duke Mon- tague. These entertainers performed many mysterious tricks with the aid of amateur magicians Lukie McHugh, Noreen Vagge and Petro Tsoukalas. November 7. Great was the surprise of the whole school to come to a Salem-Peabody Game Rally and find a Salem player collapsed on a stretcher in the middle of the stage. The presence of the enemy did not in the least detract from the addresses by Coach John Bezemes, Assistant Coach Edward Donahue and our brave Co-Captains Alex Cover and Sam Kerkorian. As we made the rafters ring with our cheers, we prayed to heaven that we would be victorious in the battle of battles. A large crowd attended the Cheer Leaders ' Salem- Peabody Record Hop that was held in the gym this same evening. Everyone was intrigued with the original and interesting decorations which covered the hall. November 8. “Peabody Triumphs over Arch-Rival Salem,” read the headline that topped the story of the snowy victory of Peabody over Salem. November 11. Armistice Day brought another day of escape from school and studies, a day of freedom and re- laxation. November 14. The class of ' 54 got its social activities off to an excellent start as they presented their annual Junior Frolic which was tremendously enjoyed by everyone. November 17. The hit song of the day was “We ' re Never not Goin ' to Go Home” as report cards cast a gloom on our normally happy faces. November 25. The best assembly in many years was put on by the Observer Staff today with William Beres. Advertising Manager, as Master of Ceremonies. Joanna Witham, Editor-in-chief, and Mary McNichol, Circulation Manager, also spoke. Sweet music was provided by the P.H.S. orchestra, a Jazz Quartet, and vocalists, Jane Doyle and Paul Puska. Rita Pelletier, Joan Leger, and the Gibley sisters danced but topping the bill was our old pal, the inimitable John Paul Jones III. December 2, 9. First period was a rest period for the three upper classes in their first and second floor homerooms as the Freshmen struggled away with their departmentals in the “garrett . December 5. A “Night of Terror was brought to Pea- body High by our popular Dramatic Guild under the able direction of Mr. D. Edward Gorman. Making up the cast of budding actors and actresses were Vernon Cagan, Joann Saltzman, Harry Karavolas, Virginia Holden, William Beres, Helen Vontzalides, Harriet Pappathanasi, William Kachinski, Edward Waters, Elaine Kennedy, and Robert Parker. Im- mediately following the successful play, the cast and their friends enjoyed a rollicking party at the spacious home of Alma Higgins. December 10. The boys of Peabody High were intro- duced to the advantages of a career in the Coast Guard by a movie on that theme during the free period today. December 12. As the acme of the Christmas Social Season, the Christmas Ball, the first formal of our school year was presented in the P.H.S. auditorium. The gym became a fairyland of beautifully gowned girls and handsomely attired boys. The highlight of the evening was the choosing and crowning as Queen, Jane Fennessy, whose escort was James Day of Salem. Making up the Queen ' s court were Ursula Pyburn, Shirley Gregory, Constance Waring, Peggy Speliotis, Marcy Dowling, and Jean Fisher. We all certainly owe the Senior Class a debt of gratitude for giving us such a wonder- ful time. December 19. Miss Lawless efficiently conducted the Glee Club through a variety of Christmas songs at the annual Christmas Assembly this morning. Rendering solos were “Mickey Aiken and Elizabeth Anderson with Joanne Collier reading a Christmas story. Ann Marie Durand ' s recitation of “Twas the Night Before Christmas was a performance that will always be remembered. December 19 — January 5. Three cheers for our winter vacation! We had a merry old time on this long awaited recess from school. January 9. As that white feathery stuff called snow lay knee deep on the ground, we had another holiday from school. The bad weather brought disappointment too, as the Spanish Club dance scheduled for this evening had to be cancelled. Page Sixty-four META Peabody High School CUPID ' S BALL Peabody High School META January 12, 13, 15. No, we no longer have torture chambers at Peabody High. The moans and groans that you hear are coming from the classrooms where worried students are suffering over their Mid-Year Examinations. January 14. John Paul Jones, our class jester, was elect- ed to represent Peabody High at Good Government Day at the state house in Boston. In honor of the occasion the members of Mr. Johnson’s Homeroom 102 were given an exhibition of his talents. The interesting but relatively unknown history of musical instruments was brought to us by Mr. J. Phillips Robertson in an unusual assembly sponsored by the Civics Club. The talk, entitled Musical Roundup of the 20th Century B. C.” was made more interesting by a demonstration of several of the historic instruments. The speaker was introduced by Secretary Gertrude Delp of the Civics Club. January 19. The Juniors felt the importance of their position as Seniors-to-be as they were measured for their class rings today. January 21. Popular Bayne Manoogian was elected to receive the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Pilgrimage Pin for Dependability, Leadership and Patriotism. On this same morning we were shown a movie on Infantile Paralysis. Those smiling faces above crippled bodies will certainly inspire us all to give generously to the March of Dimes. January 29. Congratulations to the Civics Club as Frances Manning introduced the third delightful assembly presented by the club this year. Mr. George Campbell, an inspiring speaker, a delightful humorist, and a noted song leader, gave us a very interesting assembly and conducted us through many familiar tunes. February 6. St. Valentine and Cupid danced through our hearts while we attended the Senior Cupid’s Ball. If rumors be true, it would seem that Cupid’s aim was very good on this night. February 18. In response to the familiar strains of the music played by the High School Orchestra, we all filed to the assembly hall to witness the Washington, Lincoln, Peabody Assembly. Speaking on the three famous men born in Febru- ary were Elaine Kennedy, Teddy Rimer and David Sargent who were introduced by Mistress of Ceremonies, Frances Glebus. Joanna Witham and Beatrice Wright offered vocal solos. Mr. D. Edward Gorman directed the entire program. February 19. The Hollywood talent scouts (from Gains- boro) moved in to take both formal and informal pictures for the yearbook. Every time we turned around someone was saying ’’cheese’’. February 20. As vice-president of the Civics Club, Geraldine Canal had the honor of presenting Mr. Lloyd LaVaux, “Poet of the Concert Accordian,’’ to the assembled student body. Mr. LaVaux introduced us to both Bach and Slaughter on 10th Avenue”. February 27. Fire alarms sounded and fire engines came streaming up the street. Boys and girls alike ran from the high school as the smoke belched from the old pottery building which was burning down at last. Flames soared skyward as every able-bodied man, woman, and child raced out to see the spectacular fire. When classes finally began at 10:30 they consisted chiefly of discussions on the technique used in fighting fires. February 27 — March 9. Our weary bones took a wel- comed rest from the serious study that we have been doing since Christmastime. When we arrived back at school we began checking off the number of days that we have left with our teachers and fellow pupils. March 23-25. The Freshmen completed their depart- mentals inspired (we hope) by the music produced by the Senior Music Classes which have begun in the auditorium. Let ' s hope that we improve before Graduation time comes ’round. Page Sixty ' five April 9, 10. “Best in Years. That’s what they said about our Senior Revue, “Hold Your Hats”. No one can deny that we all had a wonderful time through the many weeks of rehearsals and on the nights of the show. We are very proud of and grateful to Lou Rodrique and Andy Quinn who were our very capable directors. April 21. This is the second last time that we will receive those gloomy memorandums, Report Cards. Only one more marking period until graduation. April 24. The Juniors presented their very successful Junior Prom tonight. If all their financial affairs go as smoothly as this one did, they will be a very rich class. Con- gratulations to Joan Parker, the Queen, and Bob Maguire, her King. April 28. Today the assembly was held to honor the recipients of the George Peabody Medal. They are Mary McNichol, Valedictorian; Paula Prendible, Salutatorian : Frances Glebus, First Speaker: William Beres, Second Speaker Also to receive high awards were Mary Costas, William Hobey, Joan Kavanaugh, Beatrice Pitcher. Receiving Honor- able Mention were Jennie Dluznieski, Jane Fennessy, William Kachinski, Harry Karavolas, Peter Kushkowski, Nancy Lalikos, Ann McCarthy, Harriet Pappathanasi, Betty Saccone, Armen Sarkisian, Edward Waters and Joanna Witham. April 29. Pictures again! All this photography is likely to turn our heads. However, this was just for the few pic- tures that remained to be taken for the Meta. May 1 — 10. As the flowers sprouted forth and the trees donned their green we departed for our spring vacation. We left with both sorrow and gladness for on our return we would have only 15 more days of school. May 15. The second Dramatic Guild production was presented tonight. This time the play, directed by Mr. D. Edward Gorman, was a comedy entitled “The Form Divine.” The entire cast did an excellent job before a full house. The cast, made up entirely of Seniors, included Marcy Dowling, Shirley Spencer, Noreen Vagge, Helen Vontzalides, Rae Kelley, Paula Prendible, Ursula Pyburn, Jane Fennessy, Bar- bara Jardine, Joann Saltzman, Carole Jones, Elizabeth Komarin, Phyllis Herman, William Kachinski, George De- Merritt, Bobby Bazer, William Russell and Harry Karavolas. May 29. The last class is over, The last homework done; Our school days are finished. Our diplomas are won. June 1. The Senior Class Banquet and a feast to re- member. After we had eaten just as much as we possibly could, we rolled with laughter at the three-act show put on by John Paul Jones III. June 7. What a truly magic ring the word Graduation has. As we walked across the stage at P.H.S. for the last time as undergraduates, our caps and gowns took on new meaning. They symbolized the purity of heart and soul of a young teen- ager as he leaves the haunts of his youth. Let’s hope that the world will treat us well. June 9. With all seriousness behind, the class of ’53 met for the first time as graduates and had a marvelous time at the Senior Reception. This ends the memories of four wonderful years at Peabody High School. May all the rest of our lives be as happy and profitable. J. F.

FOOTBALL The beginning of our Senior year at P. H. S. marked the return of our football team to the Class A division as a nine-point team. That Peabody well deserved the higher classification was demonstrated by the impressive record com- piled during the fall of 1952. This year’s eleven was led by Co-Captains Alex Cover and Sam Kerkorian who, by their excellent play and inspired leadership contributed their share to a very successful sea- son. The Peabody forward wall from end to end was con- sidered by many of the football experts as the best on the North Shore. Proof of the strength of our defensive team was that in every- game with the single exception of the Gloucester tilt, the opposition either failed to score or was able to register a single touchdown. In the backfield along with Pete Torigian, an excellent ball handler and passer, were two fast and shifty halfbacks, Harry Mandragouras and George Demeritt, and Bob Carpenter, triple threat fullback. Members of ' 53 who represented Peabody during the season and who deserve great credit for their work on the gridiron were Co-Captains Alex ‘Cover and Sam Kerkorian, Pete Torigian, Bob Carpenter, George Demeritt, Gerry De Lucca, Jim Cronin, Dick Gourley, A1 Kravchuk, Bill Kachin- ski, Harry Karavolas, Fletcher Oakes, Bob Meniates, Paul Wright and Miles Cares.

BASKETBALL Our basketball team of 1953 completed its season with a record of five wins and nine losses, a record which in many ways is a little misleading. In several games, with merely a slight nod from Lady Luck , the Peabody five might have tasted the sweet fruits of victory instead of defeat. Coached by William Cronin in his first year with us as varsity coach of basketball, the team gave a good account of itself in all of the games. Undoubtedly under the direc- tion of Coach Cronin, next year’s team will give an even better account of itself and will establish Peabody as a team to be reckoned with on the basketball court. Captain Dick Gourley and Pete Torigian were the outstanding stars of the Blue and White, tallying 176 and 230 points respectively to wind up among the high indi- vidual scorers of the Essex County League. Other members of the Class of 1953 who represented us in basketball were Alex Cover, Gerry DeLucca, Sam Kerkorian and Bill Beres.

HOCKEY Although in Senior year we did not enjoy the thrills of winning the North Shore championship, our hockey team capably coached by Charles Carlin and captained by Harry Batchelder, compiled an extremely creditable record on the ice at the North Shore Sports Arena. An even better record might have well been made had not key injuries to some of the players crippled the Tanners in two or three of their losing games. One of the features of the season was a non-league game played at Lake Placid, New York, in which the Peabody sextet went down to defeat at the hands of a strong North- wood team by a score of 5 to 1. Congratulations to Carpenter and McHugh who stood high in the scoring derby as well as to Captain Harry Batch- elder who was selected as the North Shore outstanding goalie for the season. Members of 1953 who contributed to the success of the season were Captain Batchelder, Larry Mclntire, Bob Car- penter, John Cherwek, John Jones and John MacKinnon.

S. would not let it be said that the boys alone were the athletically minded students in the school. Although a varsity basketball team could not be formed be- cause of a lack of facilities, the girls of the school still en- joyed an interesting basketball season under the capable supervision of our girls’ athletic director. Miss Mary Mc- Namara. Interclass basketball throughout the winter season was enjoyed by the girls of all four classes with approximately eighty girls taking part in the program. During the season many a fine exhibition of good sportsmanship, cooperation and teamwork was witnessed by the large and sometimes very enthusiastic galleries of fellow students who attended the games. Although the race for championship honors was close, experience of the Senior girls won for them first place in the standings at the end of the year. Members of the victorious Senior team were Captain B. Sherry, I. Sdoucos, A. Maher, V. Holden, N. Vagge, J. Fennessy, P. Herman, U. Pyburn, S. Spencer, M. Fedas, J. Saltzman and S. St. Pierre. Several girls of ’53 who participated throughout their first three years but were unable to play this year were T. Kara- koudas, M. Eagar, P. Speliotis, B. Murphy, N. Lalikos and S. Gregory. THE RECORD Seniors 21 Juniors 11 Sophomores 17 Seniors 16 Seniors 27 Freshmen 21 Seniors 26 Freshmen 9 Seniors 1 1 Juniors 10 Seniors 19 Sophomores 9 Seniors 19 Sophomores 10 As in basketball, an interclass softball league was formed in the spring, and the responses to softball was just as en- thusiastic. The girls worked hard to prepare themselves for the forthcoming games and showed the same high competi- tive spirit that we believe characterizes all Peabody athletic teams. Because this little article is being written early in April we are unable to present a complete account of what we believe will be a most successful and interesting season of softball. The girls who are representing the Class of ’53 on the softball diamond are V. Holden, I. Sdoucos, N. Vagge, S. Spencer, J. Saltzman, H. Vontzalides, N. Lalikos, S. Marshall, M. Fedas, A. Maher and S. St. Pierre. CHEERLEADERS Although the girls find the sport of football a little too rigorous, they do take a very active part in winning victories for our representatives on the gridiron. Our cheer- leaders, an active and colorful group, do their full share in organizing and crystallizing the vocal support that seems so necessary if a team is to have a winning season. This year the girls really had something to cheer about, for our football team showed very marked improvement over the teams of the past two or three seasons. The members of the cheerleader squad do receive a great deal of pleasure from cheering despite the fact that it means a tremendous amount of work. The girls have regular practice sessions and work diligently to coordinate the motions which accompany the cheers. This year’s cheerleaders were H. Vontzalides, V. Holden, N. Rikkola, E. French, M. Karolides, P. Speliotis and S. Spencer. The head cheerleaders who had two years of ex- perience were V. Papacostas, J. Saltzman and N. Vagge. We’d like to say at this time as a fitting conclusion to these few notes on our girls’ athletic program that we could never thank Miss McNamara sufficiently for her help in making this year a very pleasant one for all of us. We sincerely appreciate her interest in us and we shall always be grateful to her. S. S. Peabody High School MET A Page Seventy-seven GIRLS ' SOFTBALL TEAM Front row, left to right: J. Fennessy, E.

Thinking for ourselves now, that’s something new, Nobody to tell us just what to do; It won’t be long now before we miss The unfelt warmth of that old edifice. Doctors, nurses, secretaries, and wives, The careers we worked for all our lives Unveil themselves before our eyes; Time goes much faster than we realize. As the days, the months, and the years pass by, Never let these fond memories die; This Meta was made especially for you To recall the things we used to do. At P.H.S. the cornerstone was laid, Oh, will your building stand erect and staid? Or will it crumble and fall to the ground? The future will prove if the framework is sound. F. G.
