No longer in our classes, We'11 gather day by day N o longer lads and lasses, We'l1 walk the self-same way, Another duty calls us, A wider path awaits, And we must leave these portals, These dear familiar gates 2. No more the morning greeting, Of comrades tried and true No more the daily meeting, Our problems to renew, Welre stepping out together, But as we pass the door, We take to varied pathways, We walk as one no more. 3. Yet other earnest faces, Will shine where ours have shone, These dear familiar places, Shall not be left alone, For year by year untiring, Our Alma Mater true, Will send her loyal children, The wor1d's new work to do. Chorus Join in one more song together, Join with all your heart, Time has cut the classmates tether, We must drift apartg Come, a store of mem'ry bringing from the happy past: One more song together singing, One more song, the last.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Junior Play 3 Intramural Softball 1 Home Room Treasurer 1 Louis has two distinct personalities that are as much alike as night and day. His most characteristic expression is one of extreme bashfulness. His other self, however, is far from being reticent. Louis has a strange ability to do loads of homework when he seems to be exerting very little energy. He must be a great lover of Shakespeare, why else would he learn more than the required assignment? It takes time to penetrate Louis's reserve, but once you have, you can be sure of a true and lasting friendship. Louis's plans for the future include the furthering of his education. Bon Voyage . LIONEL JOSEPH BEAUREGARD Beau Danielson Beau is one of those now you see him, now you don't boys. His Freshman and Sophomore years were spent happily at P. H. S.. Then in 1944, he entered Uncle Sam's Army and served twenty-seven monthsg ten of these were served overseas. In 1946, Beau was dis- charged and two days later he was pursuing knowledge at Putnam Technical School. Now, since his education is completed, Beau in- tends to build a house and settle down in bachelor fashion.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Cheerleader 3, 4 Home Room Treasurer 1 Jayvee Cheerleader 3 Beau regardn is the French expression for nice looking . Take a look to the left and you shall see that Lucille certainly lives up to her name. She has a very spontaneous smile which, if aimed ln your direction, is sure to capture you as a friend. As a cheerleader, she was ideal and her competance in this sent little trickles of enthusiasm down everyone's spine. Lu plans to continue her work as secretary to Potter and Collonan in Moosup this summer. Best Wishes, Lu . DORIS JOSEPHINE BEAUSOLEIL Doris Plainfield Commercial Club 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3 Here is a girl with courage and determination. Doris has been handicapped throughout her years at school but this did not stop her. Having striven diligently in her commercial work, she became an honor student and a real pal. Doris is very unaffected and any- thing she says you can be sure she means. Never one to glamorize, she deals with facts. A rose-colored world is our prediction for Doris. -10- CYNTHIA MARIAN BESSETTE WILLIAM ARTHUR BELLAVANCE Lumpy Moosup Class Will 4 Dancing Club 1 A- A- 1, 2, 3, 4 Magnetic! This one word alone gives a true picture of Our Bill ! Can anyone imagine Bill when he was not in the best of spirits? His ability to juggle sodas has made him a favorite of everybody and his pal . Bill intends to follow in his father's footsteps by studying Business Administration at Bryant College. Here's hoping the glamor of Providence night life does not prove too much competition for dorm study.

In writing essays and short stories she has used a polysyllabled vocabulary that would do justice to Webster himself . In the capacity of our Magazine Cam- paign manager, she proved her initiative and de'pendability. Cynl' intends to take up nursing as a career. Here's hoping her thermome- ter will always register happiness and success. FERNANDE LZGIA BOUTHILLIER. Freddy Wauregan Dancing Club 1 A.

PAULINE OLIVE BOWEN Pauline Plainfield Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club 1 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Pauline is the Senior who stays up nights thinking of answers to Mr. Foy's witticisms. She has been a prominent member of the Glee Club: several times her sweet soprano voice has added much to the enjoyment of a concert or an assembly program. Then again, her musical talent has been displayed as she played her clarinet in the school orchestra. Pauline plans to work after graduation but precisely where and when is still a matter of speculation! Her in- terest in music should lead her to a career of bright lights and bril- liant ovation. 111- ROBERT LAWRENCE BRODEUR Bob Plainfield Dramatic Club 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2, 3 Senior Play 4 Junior Play 3 Bob is a rare find. Enthusiastic about school and sports, he has spurred many an undertaking to success. He has worked in a gro- cery store and the many occasions of catering to the public have made him easy to like and easy to know. Bob can always turn a dull con- versation into one of great interest by talking with a delightful Eng- lish accent. As George in the Senior play, he showed his prowess as an actor. Bob plans to keep his present position as grocery clerk. He is starting at the bottom and someday we will see him at the top. HS manager . CLARISSA GRIGGS BULLARD Cris Plainfield A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Outwardly quiet, Crie possesses a rare combination - com- posure and feminine charm. Although she is unfailingly loyal, she is seldom heard. Maybe this results from the fact that some of her best friends are horses . A horse-lover by nature, she spends some of her happiest hours in the saddle. May you jump all the hurdles in life, Crie , and continue your smooth course. PATRICIA ANN BURTON Patty Sterling Commercial Club 3, 4 A. A. Member 1, 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club 1 Secretary 2, 3 Glee Club 1 Intramurals 3 Varsity Club 4 A Cheerleader 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club Secretary 4 Cheerleader Captain 4 Senior Play 4 Mirror mirror on the wall, she is fairest of them all. Gifted with a friendly personality, Patty has long been the center of attrac- tion. Her vim, vigor and vitality have added a spark to the cheering squad. Nevertheless, her charm does not cast a shadow on her scho- lastic skill. Upon concluding her high school education, Pat plans to follow her chosen career in the commercial field. MARY LOUISE BUTLER Mary Plainfield Dancing Club 1 I Glee Club 1, 2, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club 3, 4 Mary, lucky girl, knows how to balance work and play. She is a good Commercial student, one who is hardly ever reproached for being noisy. However, she is still very capable of enjoying a good laugh with her friends after classes. An avid reader, Mary' spends her leisure time curled in an armchair, solving mystery after mys- tery. Mary intends to follow either one of two paths, Morse College in Hartford or secretarial work. With her detective background, she should have no diliiculty in discovering who clogged the water cooler' and who stole the ink. -12- ALFRED ALGIRD CILCIUS Clem Plainfield Varsity Club 4 Football 4 A. A. 4 Track 4 Senior Play 4 Introducing Al, a good-natured fellow, who came to us from New York in his Senior year. After having won a number of awards on the track team in New York, he again took up his favorite sport at P. H. S.. On the football field A1 proved that he is a man of no mean ability. As a result he won the warm-hearted approval of all the sports fans as well as his classmates. We expect to hear of his win- ning the 4-40-yard dash at the next World Olympics. MARY PATRICIA COFFEY Pat Plainfield Arts and Crafts Club 1 Homeroom Secretary 1 Student Council 4 A. A. 1, 2, 4 Hermiad 4 Class Gifts 4 Pat is extra tiny but as the old saying goes, Good things come in small packages. In this case it is a package of intelligence and charm tied securely with friendliness. No Wonder she is a favorite of all who know her! Pat's love of mischief keeps her eyes twinkling. It also keeps her friends anticipating the unexpected. Pat's intention to wear a nurse's cap when her course at the University of Connecti- cut is completed can reap nothing less than assured success. VVILLIAM EDWIN CONGDON Bill Moosup Baseball 1 Track 3, 4 Class Treasurer 3 Varsity Club 4 Class Vice-president 4 Junior Marshal 3 A. A. Treasurer 4 To describe Bill, one could simply say he was ideal , He is a gentleman, a scholar, and a pal, all rolled into one. With his natural aptitude for mathematics, Bill is the perfect candidate for treasurer of any organization. This post he has fulfilled as treasurer of the Athletic Association. His many activities have kept him busy but not too busy to make friends that will stick by him through thick and thin . Bill is handsome and no doubt, as he reads this, he will blush and quickly turn the page. HOWARD WALTON CURRY i'Maestro Moosup Glee Club 2, 3 Stamp Club 2 Arts and Crafts 1 Orchestra 3 A. A. 2, 3 Chess Club 4 Senior Play 4 Maestro is a very fitting nickname for this musical genius. His talent as a pianist was displayed frequently as Glee Club accompanist and as a member of the Melody Makers . Next fall, on the wing of a song, Maestro will journey to South Carolina to major in music at Bob Jones University. Perhaps someday we shall hear that our music master has become Oscar Levant's serious rival and if so, you may be sure we'll be rooting for Maestro . -13- LORRAINE IDA DESAULNIERS Raine Moosup Dramatic Club l Glee Club 2, 3,' 4 Dancing Club 1 Glee Club Librarian 4 F. H. A. Secretary 2 Commercial Club 3, 4 A. A. 4 Homeroom Treasurer 1, 2 Did you see that sparkling smile? That was Lorraine's! No won- der there is a boom in her dad's business. Lorraine has been employed by her father since her Sophomore year. Besides working in the store, she spends most of her leisure time with Al. Home and Fam- ily is one of her favorite subjects. Perhaps, this is a hint as to her future vocation! Yet, knowing Raine as we do, we feel sure a career in commercial work will long precede any romantic aspects. LAWRENCE EDWARD DESPATHY Wally Central Village Baseball Manager 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Football Manager 3, 4 Varsity Club 4 Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2, 4 Waxy , a very amiable young man, lives right next door . Al- though entirely unassuming, he has worked hard as manager of bas- ketball, baseball and football teams. His own athletic ability, as ex- emplined during intramurals, cannot pass unapplauded. Always the center of fun and activities, Waxy's sense of humor cannot be sup- pressed despite the rules regarding silence in study hall. Thinking only of the school's Welfare, we hope Waxy will follow in his father's footsteps. FREDERICK JAMES DORR Red Oneco Dancing Club 1 Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4 Tumbling Club 1 Intramural Softball 2, 3 Chess Club 4 Football 2, 3, 4 Varsity Club 4 B9fS6ba11 3, 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Track 3, 4 Hermiad 4 Class Vice-President 3 Homeroom Secretary-Treasurer 4 Class Treasurer 4 Class Prophecy 4 Fred is known to most of his friends as Red , but to others he's known as that spunky No. 14 on the P, H. S. football team . Just- tiiiably can he be proud of it, too. With his unswerving loyalty he has seen many a project through to the finish. Red , besides being one of our best salesmen, rates a superlative in popularity. Next fall, when you fight for the University of Connecticut, Fred, remember that we are still rooting for you. PAULINE ELIZABETH DUCAT Paul1y Moosup A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Commercial Club 3, 4 Glee Club 2 Known as 'tPaully , she is more feminine than her name implies. She is one of those lucky girls who can do without makeup and still look marvelous. Tall and slim, industrious Pauline is definitely not afraid of doing a little more than her share. If Danny doesn't change her plans, she should gain recognition not only for her attractiveness but also for her diligence. Should she pursue her chosen career as a secretary, success is inevitable. ,141 HENRY HOLMES FILLMORE McGee MO0Sup Varsity Club 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Co-Captain Football 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Football 1, 3, 4 Captain Baseball 4 Basketball 2 Homeroom Treasurer 2 The boy with a knack of being a right guy and loads of fun is McGee . Although most of his time is spent with Bernice, he has also been a very popular football and baseball player, holding the position of co-captain of the football team this past season. Whatever McGee says goes, as far as the Senior boys are concerned. With this type of leadership, We expect to see him rule the people in the future with an impartial hand. May you achieve great heights, McGee . BARBARA ANNE FRINK Barb Moosup Commercial Club 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Dancing Club l Prize Winner Elks' Essay Contest 4 No jitterbug addict she, but when the mountain music plays, Barb is there with skirts a'whirling and heels a'flying. Of course there is a more serious side to her nature. As proof, witness her prize winning essay in the Elks' Democracy Contest. We are sure that Barbara, one of the promising commercial students, will have no dif- ficulty securing a position suitable to her talents. RUTH CLAIRE GALLUP Ruthie Moosup Dancing Club 1 Glee Club 2, 3 F.H.A.2 A.A.2,3,4 Vice-President F. H. A. 2 Ruthie possesses a pair of beautiful blue eyes and a radiant smile that wins the hearts of all who come within its sphere. She and her pal, Barbara, love to vocalize and are often heard harmonizing in study hall in the wee hours before nine. Perhaps, through Arthur Godfrey, this duet will win a radio contract for a national hook-up. Whatever Ruthie plans, be it harmonizing or posing for that Colgate Smile, is certain to be a success as long as she remains her friendly self. ALYCE THERESA ANN GANNON 5 Sterling Glee Club Secretary 3 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Varsity 4 Cheerleader 3, 4 Homeroom Secretary 1 As tiny as a bud, as delicate as a new blossom, and as refreshing as spring, is Alyce. Her petiteness is always encased in the latest, loveliest of fashions. She never bears grudges, always quite even- tempered. Our only engaged Senior, Monday morning always finds her dreamy-eyed and reminiscent. On June 25, Alyce will walk down the aisle as Miss Alyce Gannon, and will float back on the arm of her best beau , as Mrs. George Walker. ...15.. NORMA JENNIE GONDELA Norm Moosup Dancing Club l Commercial Club 4 Newspaper 4 Homeroom Secretary 2 Norma left us in her Sophomore year to attend Kerman High in California, but she returned to P. H. S. to graduate with her for- mer classmates. Her pep and personality help make her the ideal partner for the dance enthusiasts at the Polish National Home. Norma's ambition is to become a secretary. With the work she has turned out at school we feel sure she is bound to attract the best of employers. ' LUC LOUIS GREGOIRE Luc Moosup A. A. 2, 3, 4 Varsity Club 4 Football 3, 4 Luc, a handsome brown-eyed and curly-haired lad whose accom- plishments in Industrial Arts have proven most valuable not only to his instructor but also to P. H. S., has won a host of friends. Gen- erous, and fun-loving, he has an intriguing way of saying the fun- niest things with a perfectly straight face. Everyone who knows Luc appreciates his wit and friendly smile. His fondness and ability to play football qualified him for the Varsity Football Squad for the past two years. After graduation Luc plans to further his education, and we Wish him all the luck in the world. JEANNETTE THERESE GRENIER Jenna Moosup Dramatic Club 1 Dancing Club 1 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Jenne , a quiet young miss whose shyness often disappears to make room for a loquacious companion, has won our friendship. Her interest in other people's welfare is carrying her to a career in nursing at St. Luke's Hospital. Imbued with the desire to soothe the fevered brows of patients, Jenne embodies our ideal of the modern Flo- rence Nightingale. We know that patients won't mind being sick if they can only have Jenne to take care of them. LILLIAN MARIE GROCHKEY Lil Moosup Dramatic Club 1 Glee Club 3 Student Council 3 A. A. 2, 3, 4 Girls' Basketball 2, 3 Her meekness of manner, her tenacity of purpose, combine to bring to Lil success in her endeavors. Whatever the committee - re- freshment or decoration - Lil is always around ready to lend a willing hand. Her high scholastic standing should carry her with ease through the difficult formula of her nursing career. -161 ROBERT JAMES GULINO Doc Plainfield Varsity Club 4 A. A. President 4 Intramural Basketball 4 Student Council 4 Football 4 Bob is that tall lad whose stern countenance rules the traffic of the second floor corridor. When questioned about some matter, he can assume an air of perfect innocence. Yet his friends know him to be as mischievous as a goblin. Bob, whose wit is as sharp as his brain, intends to continue his education at the University of Conn- ecticut. An engineer at heart, Bob will soon be building bridges for the awaiting world. ALICE MARY HARTON Hortense Moosup Dancing Club 1 Varsity Club 4 A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Cheerleader 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2 Homeroom President 3 Senior Play 4 When Vogue's cameraman covers the town, he can't help but swing the spotlight on Alice, the ideal candidate who brims with har- mony, chic ensembles, and well-groomed hair. Hortense has danced her way into the hearts of scores of admirers. Her charm not only extends to her classmates but also has done its Work in attracting underclassmen. Alice, as a cheerleader with her Atta go, fellas has inspired many a heart in the heat of contest. If Alice's past is any indication of her future, her life will be one of fun and fulfillment. JAMES ALBERT HAWKINS Big Jim Oneco Orchestra 4 Sparkling eyes, a quick Wit and an ability to socialize in his classes are Jim's main assets. His choice of subjects for the past year has led him to absorb an abundance of historical facts. Much to our surprise he was found in the school orchestra this year, but who knows, we may have another Spike Jones in our midst. After graduation Jim is thinking of joining the armed forces, preferably the Marines. Best of luck, Jim, even though we're sure you won't have to rely on luck to attain the station in life you desire.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Intramural Basketball 2 Basketball 3 Norman, known as Chicken , has followed the General Course throughout his four years. An ardent conversationalist, he has re- vealed his gaity through his spontaneous outburst of merriment. He was an active member of the basketball team in his Junior year and followed Intramurals closely. The Air Corps is his main ob- jective after high school, but we are doubtful after hearing him talk about a chicken farm. Perhaps the aeronautical training and ex- perience will enable him to Hhop in his plane from one chicken- farm to the next. May yours be a long and happy flight. DONALD ARVID KIVELA Finn Plainfield Dancing Club 2 A. A. 1, 2 The class mechanic is none other than Don , He left Plainfield at the end of his Sophomore year to attend Putnam Technical School. Graduation finds him again at Plainfield High School. Don is usually found escaping from the farm for an evening of fun with his crony and staunch supporter, Jay Lathrop. An extremely handsome lad, he will no doubt be a very popular mechanic. -18...

S. - this fact alone speaks for her popular- ity and makes us suspect that there's a deeper attraction than that which appears on the surface. Her quick laugh is sure fire for winning friends. After graduation Phyl wants to be employed in an ofiice. The best we can do is wish her upon the same employer that hires Pauline. He'll have trouble keeping them straight but his oliice will run satin-smooth. 119.- MARY ALICE LASNIER Bled Moosup A.

To Lauretta we attribute the title, speed queen , for her ability in transcribing shorthand notes. Ever so often she left the rest of the class searching notebooks for the words she was reading.

Of Dave you could expect a lot more! He is friendly, loves to dance, and has been trying hard to make money for the Varsity Club. His efforts have not been in vain. His blush which was apparent most of the time made him the object of ribbing from the boys and admiration from the girls. The school will miss his scoring ability next year as Dave sets out to make a mark of his own. -21- GEORGE OSIPER George Plainfield Arts and Crafts Club 1 Intramural Basketball 2, 3, 4 Varsity Club President 4 Football Manager 3, 4 Chess Club President 4 Basketball Manager 3, 4 Hermiad 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 A.

Remember how the lordly Seniors Had all their whims and ways. Remember our numerous errors As we traveled to and fro. Members of the Student Council Had to tell us where to go. Initiation, our dance and our first senior crush, And how we managed to survive that mad noon hour rush. Memories, memories, dreams of times so tough. Poor Freshmen . . . but we loved it. Remember when as dashing Sophomores We thought that we were Hin . And the fellows ached on the football field To fight and fight to win. In English we had much to fear For Julius Caesar came that year. Our brains were crammed with frivolous things, We had no time for ancient Kings. We also learned, day by day, That sleeping in clas-ses did not pay. For we got detention, like as not. Poor Sophomores .... but we loved it. Remember when as lofty Juniors We exerted all our charm To make great big successes of Our Junior Play, our Junior Prom. Remember the wheels we painted For our springtime Calico Hopg How the fellows got rambunctious And we couldn't make 'em stop. Remember Mr. Davis and the Magazine Campaign, How we sold and sold subscriptions Till we thought we'd go insane. Poor Juniors .... but we loved it. Remember when as lordly Seniors We strolled apart from the crowd. We were the elite of P. H. S. No wonder we were proud! We laughed with our Senior Play cast, We worked like Trojans all! We frolicked on our Class Trip And loved our Senior Ball. Now the time has come to part, We smile but still there's sorrow. Our motto in mind for'er shall be, As Youth is, so is tomorrow.

YOU ARE THERE Time-September 5, 1945 Place-Plainfield High School Scene-a milling throng-112 strong-has just invaded the erstwhile silent halls of this famed institution of learning. The of- fice doors open wide and Miss Armstrong advances to disperse this suddenly subdued band to Rooms 3, 4, and 5. Within a few days, the whole bewilder- ing business of being a freshman becomes increasingly simple, and the daily pat- tern of this life for the next four years emerges. The first memorable event of the year is the half-awaited, half-feared Freshman In- itiation. Of course, the bruises have now faded, but the memory of this Initiation Day will linger long. After being subjected to the dire humiliation of bowing low in the presence of upper-classmen, of toting tons and tons of their books, of being made to look as unattractive as possible to the op- posite sex, the lordly Seniors have climaxed this fateful day with the Freshmenis first high school dance. Now, as duly accepted members of Plain- field High School, they are ready to in- augurate class activities, the first of which is the election of class officers. On the ap- pointed day the auditorium walls resound with the clatter of the assembled group, who soon quiet to the voices of Miss Goy- ette and Miss Mathews, the class advisors. Although the first class meeting is char- acterized by the usual lack of parliamen- tary procedure, a wise choice of class of- ficers is made resulting in the election of Edmond Seney, as president, Beatrice Beausoleil, as vice-president, Harry Phil- ips, as secretary and James King, as treas- urer. The fine spirit of cooperation, charact- eristic of this class, is first displayed at the Freshman Frolic on May 3rd, which prom- ises a most enjoyable evening to everyone who attends. Summer months are upon us and I ask you to travel hastily over these vacation days with me and in September again meet these important personages. As Sophomores, with the stigma of lowly Freshmen a thing of the past, the ninety- seven members of the class of 49 again pursue the path of knowledge. This year, befitting their advanced status, they con- duct a more formal class meeting, at which they elect the following: Edmond Seney, re- tained as President, Charles Brodeur, vice- presidentg Patricia Burton, secretary and Gilbert Dailey, treasurer. Mr. Eichner, a newcomer to Plainfield High, is chosen to replace Miss Mathews, who has resigned. The year, on the whole, passes unevent- fully, but come Spring, plans begin to bur- geon for the annual class social. So, we find ourselves once more in the auditor- ium. But what a different atmosphere per- vades on this evening of May 9, for, in the soft glow of the bridge lamps placed about the room may be seen the couples swaying to the rhythmic strains of the Melody Makersf' At last intermission arrives, and the artistic abilities of our talented Soph- omores are displayed. Will time ever erase the memory of this colossal production- the appreciation of which is undoubtedly enhanced by the stimulating punch, freely imbibed by all. fThe cornerstone of the class's wealth is hereby firmly establishedj Once more time marches on and the hap- py, carefree, vacation days quickly speed by. September 1947, the crowded corridors resound anew with the tread of many busy feet, carrying the poised and confident Juniors who are a far cry from the bewild- ered Freshmen of two short years ago. There is much to be done this year and class elections are quickly disposed of. The class president is Edmond Seney again- surprised? the rest of the class isn't. The sarne pattern is observed as in the previous elections, for although the boys are in the minority, through some quirk of electoral caprice, they obtain a majority of the of- fices, Frederick Dorr is the vice-president, Patricia Burton is the secretary and Wil- liam Congdon is treasurer. The histrionic talents of this versatile class is successfully displayed on October 7, when the heart-rending drama The Valiant is presented. The audience is moved in turn to laughter and then to tears by the real- -261 istic performances given by Edmond Seney as the sadistic wardeng Richard Rossi as the hardened criminal, Omer Gaudreau as the kindly priest, Robert Brodeur in the role of the jailerg Louis Arsenault as the attend- ant, with Fernande Bouthillier enacting the part of the pitiable heroine. With the play a thing of the past, plans are immediately underway for the Junior Prom. The date, the orchestra, the decora- tions, the refreshments all are subjects of long deliberation and careful planning. For a week beforehand, the auditorium is a scene of bee-hive activity, since the decora- tions are elaborate and it takes many busy hands to achieve the gala effect of a winter wonderland. At last the long anticipated hour is at hand and the question arises- will there be a prom? For the gods are a- gainst us-the icy roads and the heavy falling snow discourage many a lass and lad. But the elements seem to relent and only one hour after the appointed time the strains of Brennan and Quinn's orchestra invitingly beckon to the eagerly-awaiting Juniors. Of course, it seems like the best ever-a dance which will be a pleasant rem- iniscence in years to come. Recognition of leadership qualities comes to a member of the class when Fernande Bouthillier is selected by her fellow stu- dents to represent the school at Laurel Girls' State. No one is surprised when Fred- dy receives the even greater honor of rep- resenting the State at Girls' Nation in Washington. With the expressed aim of supplementing class funds, many plans are considered and it is finally decided to sponsor something original. Away with formal attire and elab- orate decorations! The theme selected is a rural one. A Calico Hopv. Will wonders never cease-permission is actually granted to hold the affair on Saturday night! The scarecrows, bales of hay, wagon wheels and gaily-painted cider jugs all help to impart a typical count-ry scene-a suitable back- ground for the crowd of dungreed-clad boys and cotton-frocked girls. P. S. It is a great financial success. The third summer comes and goes. Sen- iors at long last! Proudly down the hall strides the class of 49 . Election time rolls around again, a rather noisy session, in this instance, but the class affirms its apprecia- tion of Edmond Seney's sterling qualities by choosing him for the fourth consecutive year to lead them. His helper-s this year are William Congdon, Frederick Dorr and Pauline Marchesseault. According to time-honored tradition, the Seniors test the mettle of the green Fresh- men. After being submitted to the custom- ary indignities of initiation, the newcomers are rewarded for their good sportsmanship with a dance in the evening sponsored by the Seniors. Honors are reaped by two members of this class-Cynthia Bessette, for having sub- mitted the best essay on How Democracy Works in the Elks Contest, and Phyllis Marchesseault for having been chosen as D. A. R. Pilgrim for the Town of Plainfield. It goes without saying that much time and effort has been expended throughout the entire year by the diligent Hermiad Board in the publishing of their yearbook. Next on the agenda of this swiftly-passing year is the Senior Class Play Love Troubles Tommy by Jean Provence. The cast in- cludes: Edmond Seney, Richard Rossi, Rob- ert Brodeur, Howard Curry, Alfred Cilcius, David Osiper, Fernande Bouthillier, Cyn- thia Bessette, Pauline Martel, Patricia Bur- ton, Alice Harton and Lucille Jette. The Seniors uphold their repute as seasoned per- formers by giving another creditable drama- tization. June 3rd is already here-time for the Senior Ball. In accordance with the gradua- tion season, the Seniors have chosen School Days as the theme, carried out in the Class colors of royal blue and gold. Brennan- Quinns' orchestra provides the musical background for this last school dance of the Class of 49 . Commencement week with its manifold activities-Class Night and Alumni Night, being two of the most outstanding-is cli- maxed by the solemnity of the graduation ceremony. On June 22, the members of the Class of 1949, with mingled emotions, take leave of their Alma Mater bearing in mind their motto- As youth is, so is tomorrow . And so, with many a word spoken in jest, I close this presentation of the record of events which have transpired during these last four years. Narrator-LUCILLE J E'1'I'E -271 - CLASS It is a matter of course that when a man departs from this earth he writes a will be- queathing his property, estate, and belong- ings to his relatives.

'49 IN '59 Scene I: La Guardia Field Time: Early morning of June 21, 1959 Characters: Two people, heads bent over newspapers, are walking toward each other. A collision is inevitable. Crash! Fred: Oh, I'm sorry! Freddy: That's all right, s1r...FRED DORR! How are you? What are you doing these days? How's the old Alma Mater? Where are you going? Are we taking the same plane? Fred: Take it easy, Freddy! You haven't changed a bit. As for your questions - I'm fine: I'm working: I'm going home. And, if you are, too, we're taking the same plane. Freddy: Wonderful! Say, how's your great pro- ject coming along? Fred: How did you know about it? Freddy: Why, right here in my newspaper it says: 'Mr. Frederick Dorr, noted engineer, and Mr. Donald Kivela, brilliant mechanic, supervise trans- porting of Colosseum from Rome to Wauster Moon- eco Central Plains'. Fred: Didn't realize I was famous! Don is still in Rome taking care of a few last-minute details... Say, Freddy, what do you think of your old home town now? Freddy: Well, let me tell you, I never expected to see Wauregan, Sterling, Moosup, Oneco, Central Village and Plainfield merged into one great metrop- olis. Why, people are even calling it 'the horn of plenty' city! Fred: Well, it is. You haven't been home for the past ten years, so you can't realize what a land of opportunity it actually is! You're the only one in our class that has found a job away from home. Everyone else is busy building the town. Freddy: Fred, when we get home, will you show me around? tlfredz Sure will. By the way, are you married ye . Freddy: No. I'm not. I've been too busy following my career. Fred: What career? Freddy: I've been teaching slow speech and perfect elocution to the natives of South Africa. Fred: Oh, boy! You-our class chatterbox- teaching slow speech! That's really rich! Freddy: Don't laugh, you hyena! Fred: What a- Hey, here comes our plane. Freddy: Let's go. Scene II: The Wauster Wing , one of the Central Plains' airliners. Time: Ten minutes later. Characters: Same as before. Fred: I think we're going to have a storm. But good old Lauretta will bring us through. Freddy: Who? Fred: Lauretta Messier, that's who. The Waus- ter Wing is the only transcontinental plane that can boast of a Woman pilot. Freddy: Heavens, look at how short our steward- ess is! Fred: Naturally, that's Pat Coffey. Freddy: She certainly is busy taking care of that frightened passenger. I think I'll read the MOONECO TIMES. It must be a good newspaper to reach as far as New York. Fred: The editor, Emily Lathrop, would appre- ciate that statement. Freddy: Talk about headlines! Listen! 'NORMAN JODOIN ACCLAIMED AS TOP CHICKEN SPEC- IALIST, MARY LASNIER MAKES GOOD HER BOAST AND SELLS REFRIGERATOR TO ESKIMO, LORRAINE MARCOUX NAMED HAIR STYLIST FOR THE J. H. STUDIOSK Who's J . H.? Fred: James Hawkins, of course. He's starring Pauline Martel and Richard Rossi in his next film. Pauline is going to portray a loveslck teenager and Ross is playing the part of her dashing lover. Freddy: Say, what happened to Henry Fillmore and Bernice Miller? Fred: They're married and are now living on a farm. Henry is a politician, fighting for the re- peal of the Woman Suffrage Act. Freddy: Oh! Oh! Fasten your safety belt, Fred. I think we're home. I'm certainly in a hurry to see the old home town. Look, a skyscraper! Fred: Sure, Bob Gulino's building them all over the place. He even built one with dirt floors and walls so that Bill Congdon could still have his farm. Bi1l's vegetables are wonderful, especially for people with lumbago. You can pick tomatoes off the wall without even bending over. Norma Gondela is Bill's chief bug exterminator. Freddy: You mean Norma is chasing beetles? . . . Oh, we've landed. Fred: Be careful of the step. Here we are in Wauster Mooneco Central Plains. What do you think of it? Freddy: It looks marvelous. You'd never guess this part of it was once Sterling. Fred: This is the section known as Chinatown. We can take one of Louis Arsenau1t's rickshaws to Main Street. Freddy: Rickshaw ! ? ! Fred: Sure, remember how the bus used to run only twice a day to Sterling? Well, now Louis makes as many as forty trips a day. He says his business is a gold mine. Freddy: Let's take this orange and black one that's coming. Fred: Main Street, please. Freddy: This is ni- look out! For goodness' sake, we almost ran over that streetcleaner. Hey, he looks like Beau Beauregard. It isl! Fred: Let's plan our course. First, we'll go to the Capitol. Freddy: Who do we know there? Fred: Why, three of our classmates hold office there. Beatriz Pedro has put her knowledge of poll- tics to work and is serving her second term as Mayor. Paul Salois, the celebrated economist, is her finan- cial advisor. Freddy: That's only two. I thought you said there were threefi Fred: Can't you guess? With all his experience, Waxy Despathy naturally was appointed head jan- itor. Just last week Mayor Pedro awarded him a citation because the corridor floors were so well waxed that fifteen Lobbyists fell and are now in the Jette General Hospital. Freddy: Jette? Jette? That sounds familiar. Not Lulu? . .. 31- Fred: Sure, Lulu is just like you. She went out to make a career for herself. She practically built that hospital with her bare hands. Freddy: Isn't that wonderful! I never dreamed that our home town would ever boast of a hospital. Oh, let's take a look at it! I've seen enough of the capitol. Scene III: Jette General Hospital Time: Ten minutes later Characters: As usual Freddy: Just listen to that wailing! Wonder where it comes from?? Fred: It comes from the new wing. Let's take a walk over there. They call it the Didie Diaper Ward. Freddy: Well, what have we here? Those two gentlemen seem troubled. Aren't they the Osiper twins? Fred: They sure are. Did you know that they married the Marchesseault twins? Freddy: No kidding!! Wonder what theyfre waiting for!?! . , . Creepers, look who's coming through the door! Fred: Looks like Lillian Grochkey and Phyllis Oates. Freddy: Well, those two nurses certainly have their arms full. What are they carrying? Fred: Oh, no!! Quadruplets!! Freddy: Two sets of them!! Fred: Wow! No wonder George and David were worried. Freddy: I'll have to remember to send Pauline and Phyllis my congratulations. No wonder this town is growing! Fred: Do you remember timid Jeannette Grenier? Freddy: Sure, why? Fred: Well, she now has full charge of the Psycho- pathic Ward. Freddy: Move back, Fred. Here comes a nurse pushing a stretcher to the operating room. Hope the patient's nobody we know. Fred: I recognize that nurse. It's Cynthia Bes- sette. She assists Dr. Bellavance in surgery. Freddy: Bill Bellavance! Now there is some- thing strange. I never expected Bill to grow up to be a doctor. Fred: Say, today is the 21st, isn't it? Freddy: Yes, it is. Fred: Then, that patient must be Pat Burton. Freddy: Pat Burtonl? ! Fred: Yes, you must have heard of the General and the Admiral who almost ruined the nation by starting a war over her. Pat was so upset that she decided to have an operation that would make her look horrible. Freddy: Honest!?! Let's leave now. That anti- septic smell is nauseatingf' Fred: Where shall we go from here? The mu- seum or the high school?? Freddy: Let's go to the museum first and then we can go on to dear old P. H. S. . Fred: We can take the elevated and get there in about one minute. Lulu Tetreault drives that ele- vated as if it were a hot-rod!! Freddy: Remember how Lulu and Alice Reynolds were always together? What's Alice doing, do you know? Fred: Alice is a policewoman. In fact, just last week she arrested the city's worst speeder. Now poor Luc Gregoire has to spend 30 days in jail. Freddy: Say, we certainly get a nice view of the Quinebaug from here, don't we? Fred: Look over to your left and you can see the main harbor. Notice the drawbridge - which inci- dentally is run by Millie Ihloff - opening to let one of the liners go through. We have our own little Navy, you know. Freddy: We have? Fred: Sure, and Don Holt is the admiral of the whole fleet! But he sure is having his troubles. The Woman's Navy wants to redecorate the battleships. Pauline Bowen, who's Commander-in-chief, wants them all done over in shell pink but Don won't hear of it. Freddy: How are they going to settle their dif- ferences?' Fred: They're taking the case to the Supreme Court next week. Lucille Beauregard is going to fight for Admiral Holt. Freddy: When did Lu become a lawyer? Fred: About seven years ago! She's one of the best now. She'll win the case, too, unless Justice Brodeur is in a bad mood. Freddy: Lu, a lawyer and Bob, a Supreme Court Justice! I see where the class of '49 has its share of celebrities. Fred: Well, we can't sit here gabbing all day. There's something in the museum I want to show you? Freddy: What is it? Fred: Wait and see. Scene IV: The Central Museum! Time: Marches On! Characters: Same old people! Fred: Well, do you like it? Freddy: It's beautiful, Fred. I can't believe that Doris Beausoleil painted it. I didn't even know she was an artist. Fred: It was a hidden talent.-See that plaque over there, that was awarded to Lorraine Desaul- niers. She's a modern Pied Piper. One day she started singing while taking a walk and all the ter- mites followed her out of town. She saved the whole city from a terrible fate. Freddy: How Wonderful! But it's getting late. Let's go to P. H. S. I want to see that dear old building again. Fred: Well, we won't have far to go. It's only two blocks up the street! Freddy: Who's principal now, Fred? Fred: Can't you guess? Freddy: Is it somebody from our class? Fred: Yes Freddy: Ed Seney! Fred: Correct He's worked wonders with our Alma Mater. Freddy: What's he done that's so marvelous? Fred: Look and see! Freddy: What is that huge building in back of the school? Fred: That's the new gym! Want to go in? Freddy: I should say! Fred: We'll have to be very inconspicuous. We can't let the pupils see us. Freddy: What, a swimming pool! There's the gym teacher on the diving board. Fred: :Recognize her? Freddy: I can't see her face. Fred: It's Midge McGee. Freddy: Well, I'm glad her dream came true. -32- Fred: Over to your left-is the basketball court and that door leads to the track field. Someone's out there now. Freddy: That fellow out there looks just like Al Cilcius, doesn't he? Fred: I-Ie should. That is Al! The gym is open to the community and Al comes over every day to practice. He won the 880 in last year's Olympics, you know. Freddy: Yes, I did know that. The natives in South Africa sent out that message on their voodoo drums. Fred: We can boast of another track star, too! Mae Nichols got so much practice chasing buses out of Sterling that she's now known as the world's fastest woman! Freddy: What's that large rambling house on the hill supposed to be? Fred: That's the Bullard Stables. Clarissa owns some of the best horses in the country. I might also add that she's the best jockey Lincoln Downs ever saw. Freddy: Waus,ter Mooneco Central Plains. Why, it's wonderful. What else do we have in this beautiful metropolis? Fred: Well, we have a library and, incidentally, Mary Butler is chief librarian. That's not all, either. Journalists all over the world say she's the best authority on the life and habits of the Taraxacum taraxacum, commonly known as the dandelion. Freddy: Do we have a radio station? Fred: You bet. We have some great stars, too. You've been out of circulation so long I don't sup- pose you've heard of Babs Frink and Ruth Gallup, the Yodeling Queens! Freddy: No, I haven't! Are they good? Fred: Good! They're the best! Freddy: I'll have to listen to their program some- day. In the meantime, can you tell me who this lady on the poster is? Fred: That's Muscles, the champion lady wrestler. Back in '49 she was Pauline Ducatf' Freddy: How she's changed. Fred: And how! Freddy: 'Tm exhausted. I'll certainly be happy to get to my hotel. Where are you staying, Fred? Fred: 'Tm still living in the old homestead in what used to be Oneco...Taxi! I'll drop you oil at your hotel. Freddy: Good! Say, wasn't that Alyce Gannon that we just passed? Fred: ':Yes, it was. Remember what a good cheer- leader she was? Freddy: I sure do. Fred: Well, she's now raising a football team. Oh, almost forgot! ...If you're thinking of going out this evening, go to the Mooneco Opera House. Maestro Curry and Ballerina Harton are billed for tonight. Freddy: Thanks for the suggestion, Fred. I'll try to go. Fred: Here you are-the Hotel Oriole. See you later. Freddy: You bet. I'll look for you at our class re- union tomorrow. Fred: Don't be late! Freddy: I won't. So long...

Coach Eichner's charges were often out- weighed but they fought valiantly and lived up to the old college saying Do or Die for Alma Mater. Although the team did not have much success, four Seniors were placed on the Quinebaug Valley Conference All Star Team, David Osiper and Henry Fill- more, backs, Richard Rossi, tackle, and Frederick Dorr, guard. With the opening game against East Greenwich, Coach Eichner was very confi- dent of seeing a closely fought game even though his team was picked as the under- dogs. The team played a very good defen- sive battle but the offensive plays were not at the peak of perfection.

Starting the season with a 58-57 overtime victory, Coach Denz's cagesters proved to be in top form for the coming season. They however suffered an upset in the second game. Although the team did not have as good a showing as last year's hoopsters, its spirit and willingness to play has far sur- passed any previous team. The quintet en- tered into the Quinebaug Valley conference where the boys showed marvelous team spir- it. One of P.H.S.'s own cagers, David Osiper, had the honor of making the all-star team of the Conference. The team next year will be minus its two leading scorers, co-captains Donald Holt and David Osiper. But with the fighting spirit that has been built up in the ranks of the remaining hoopsters, Coach Denz is con- fident that next season will see a champion- ship team. 1949 1950: 1951 1950 1951 1952 BARS David Osiperg Donald Holtg George Osiper fmanageryg Lawrence Des- pathy fmanagerj.

After a full-course turkey dinner, Eugene Bellavance, class president, acted as master of ceremonies and called upon Miss Cornell and Miss Armstrong for brief remarks. He then asked his classmates in turn to stand and tell interesting things about themselves and their families. The class will, which was written and read by Joseph Eaton in 1923, was produced and read, the class prophecy was recalled, the 1922 and 1923 Hermiads and some class souvenirs which had been brought to the dinner were examined with much interest. Corsages and gold compacts were given to each of the ladies present, Lady Buxton billfolds were presented to Miss Cornell and to Miss Armstrong and a gold tie clasp to president Bellavance. Each guest received a souvenir in the shape of a letter opener de- corated with a pansy, the class flower, and marked in gold letters P H S 1923-1948 . These were the gift of Mrs. Marjorie Winsor Marston. The party broke up at a late hour with all reluctant to leave and eagerly planning for a thirtieth-year reunion in 1954. 'I'he planning committee for the very suc- cessful affair was Eugene Bellavance, Wil- liam Maggia, Ellen Belknap Shippee and Marjorie Winsor Marston. THE CLASS OF 1948 The activities of the Class of 1948 since last June have been unusually varied and the members are scattered more widely than is usual in the first year after high school. We should perhaps report first the mar- riages among class members. Very soon after graduation Jean Trudeau was married to Lorraine Brodeur and Barbara Bowen to Ernest Plassmann. The Plas-smanns are now living in Boston. In the early fall Shirley Lema, secretary in the high school oil-ice, was married to Joseph Coderre. Norma Campbell is now Mrs. Cletus Briere of Dan- ielson. The latest marriage was that of Dol- ores Rabbitt and Raymond Ravenelle. A large number of the class of 1948 have been enrolled in some kind of post-secon- dary school. At the University of Connect- icut we may find Gerald Barr, Robert Bou- ley, Irving Chmura, Paul Smith, Violet Sal- mi and Cecile Tetreaultg at Worchester Polytechnic Institute, Milton Winsor who, however, plans to change to the University next year, changing his career objective from engineering to teaching, at Williman- tic State Teachers College, Alfred Tracy, and at Revier College in Nashua, New Hampshire, Henriette Robidoux. John Col- lins is at Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Virginia, and Joyce Main and Eleanor Rennie are enrolled at Bryant Col- lege. Liane Caron is at Norwich Art School. Four girls have passed their probation per- iod and received their caps at schools of nursing: Eileen Halpin and Rita Ricottilli at St. Francis in Hartford, Irene St. Jean at the Backus Hospital in Norwich, May Zvin- gilas at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in New London. Enrolled in technical schools are Vernon Gray at Norwich, Allen Knox, Robert Moul- ton and George Weeks at Putnam and Wal- dro Lynch at the New England Technical Institute in Providence. Maxie Gagnon has been taking evening courses at Norwich Re- gional Technical School. Betty Kendall and Betty Young are studying at the Hartford Academy of Hairdressing and Elvira Abadia is taking a postgraduate course in the com- mercial department at Norwich Free Aca- demy. Doing ofifice work in various businesses in the community and elsewhere are Margery Dawley, Rita Methot, Dolores Rabbitt, An- toinette Roberts and Hilda Simonds. Five boys have entered military service: Hector Desaulniers, Gerard Frenette and Richard Rioux are in the navy, Raymond Hawkins and Norman Racicot chose the army. Neil Cook intends to make a career in baseball. So far as we can learn the other members of the class are living at home and are work- ing at home or in the stores and factories in town. -55- ADVERTISEMENTS g df mens n QTOGMA Q' lou of V CLASS OF 1949 May You Be Successful In A11 Your Undertakings COOLEY GAREAU Formerly Pappajion Studios PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR THE HERMIAD Howard R.
