P . 5 M555 , we Qfinctpaf 308046 THE PRICE or PEACE PEACE is an id-eal never yet fully attained by any man or any nationg nor will it be attained ever by the world-fully. Peace as mankind knows it is a compromise, a whole series or even a sys- tem of compromises. In a world of conliicting in- terests and ambitions, in a world in which nations grow, peace must be elastic. Any peace designed primarily to preserve the status quo bears too close a resemblance to the peace of death to be of use to a living world. Peace is indivisible. If it is broken anywhere, it is likely to break everywh-ere. We can no longer speak-as we tried to just a few years ago-of localizing a war. The peace of China and of Ethopia is our peace, too. The world has become one, the instruments of peace and the weapons of war both have made it one-physically. Mankind, longing for peace, must make it one in spirit. What does one pay for peace? This most precious of all commodities can be purchased with one mintage only--life. And it is not purchased on the- field of battle, we buy there merely the hope of peace. Nor is it to be bought at the conference table when war endsg there we take on the responsibility to make peace effective. No more than that. But we buy peace in our daily lives with our lives-the lives of the living, not the dead-all our lives long. And, when we die, those who come after us must continue to pay this price if peace is to continue. Peace mast be waged as sternly and zmrelerntingly as war is waged. For peace is dynamic, vital, not a mere negation-the absence of war. Having paid in blood and sweat and tears for the hope of peace, and having added to that such vast material wealth, we must still stand ready to pay in work and worry, in sacrifice and selflessness the further exactions demanded of us. And the price will not be too high. Day by day, aware of our own interests, firm in our faith in de- mocracy, loyal to our own ideals, yet never blind to the interests and faith and ideals of other peoples, we must be patient, resolute, just-and, as we have always been, a peace-loving people. And we must be awake-as we have not always been. EDGAR J. MONGAN Page 5 'll iograloiticaf Erie A President JGSEPH DIETLIN In spite of the fact that Joseph is the strong, silent type , we realized his true worth and elected him' our class president. Camy began his high school career inconspicuously, but in his Junior year he was chosen class treasurer. He served on various dance committees, and became a war stamp collector. Joseph is endow-ed with a contagious smile, a democratic spirit, blond hair, blue eyes, and a stature of 5' 11 . He seems to enjoy being an executive, and does not appear to worry about graduation and speechmaking. He could succeed in the cinema, but would also make a dashing soldier, sailor, or marine. Vice-President ROY RANDALL Although a participant in many activities, we have yet to hear him refuse whenever an additional task is requested. With his ability and his cooperative spirit, we feel that he is capable of achieving much. Roy has proved his Worth in many ways, as co-captain of the football team, member of the basketball team, as presi- dent of the S. A. S., as a member of the National Honor Society, the Honor Group, and an editor on the Year Book staff. He has brown hair, blue eyes, a height of 5' S , and is the proud owner of a green and red coupe, fr-e- quently used to transport football, basketball, and hockey players. We have confidence in this class executive. Page 6 Secretary ANN DUGAN Some say she is quiet, but quiet', is not the word to describe her. Ann is one of our very active girls who participated in basketball and hockey. She has strongly voiced the opinion that girls' sports are as important as those the boys engage in. She has distinguished herself as a member of the S. A. S., the Glee Club, and the Honor Group. She was a member of the Junior Press Club, and served on the Till Victory and Library Staffs. She has a radiant smile, long eyelashes, and dark, lustrous hair. Our Ann is definitely nice to know. Treasurer RICHARD BALBONI NORMAN FABRI Richard Balboni, an active member of the football team and treasurer of the class for the first half year, is now in the United States Army Air Corps. Norman Fabri was chosen to fill the vacancy occasioned by his departure. Dimples has demonstrated his efliciency as a member of the football squad, and as a member of various dance com- mittees. Norman also portrayed Joseph in the Christ- mas play. He can be found almost any afternoon labor- ing in the First National Store, Where he collects precious red ration points in the meat UD department. What about a thick juicy steak, Norman? He could easily be described as tall, dark, and handsome. We are fortunate in having one so capable to care for our class funds.

NORMA ANDERSON A senior boy is the obvious choice. The idea has been flouted: By overt acts she's shown us That she,for one, can doubt it. DORIS ARMSTRONG We all know where Doris is When Period II arrivesg She l a b o r s on attendance slips- It's work on which she thrives. RICHARD BALBONI Dick served us as class treas- urer For half a year or more- Now we're further in his debt: He's in the Flying Corps. ROBERT BASTONI A metamorphosis we've seen, And the change we don't de- cry: Gone is the bashful boy we knew In the days of Junior High. 8 Oflffy 5884 fo ACLUQ JOWLQ lftlfl. .

EVELYN BATES Evelyn is not boisterous, We know the reason why: It's because she's thinking, Not because she's shy. BETTY BEARHOPE It would prove most lucrative Were she to take a chance On collecting small donations When instructing in the dance. MARY BETTENCOURT She won't subscribe to gam- bling Whatever may befallg By legimate endeavor She'll win-or not at all. VIOLA BLACK Her position is strategic: When she feels less than fine, A doctor 'cl treat his typist- And she needn't stand in line. GLORIA BOTIERI A secretary's life she thinks In pleasure must aboundg If we were boss, we'd happy be To have this girl around. Page 9 DWIGHT BOUDREAU The Navy he felt He had to join No matter from us What hours he'd purloin. ROBERT BRENNER Join the Navy and see the world! No recruiting poster's needed To sell the idea to this boy- The point he has conceded. JESSIE BREWER She may not have the blondest hair Of any girl alive, But undoubtedly she has it In the Class of '45. MARGARET BREWSTER She would a secretary be, And she should be a good one: For, when she's given work to do, It never is just half done. BETSEY BUMPUS She's one of the few good knitters The senior class can boast: When the Red Cross yarn ar- rives Is the time we need her most, DELIA CADORETTE Before she wore a diamond We know that she desired To be a cosmetician: The wish may have expired. Page 10 'B Yu- ! i i A , I -MJ JOANNE CALZOLARI Mrs. Raymond finds her Most efficient- As home room secretary She's omniscient. RICHARD CAPOZU CCA He won't rush in foolishly Where angels fear to treadg He knows to travel safe and far - A man must use his head. LOIS CASWELL Handling ration books, we've heard, Can drive some people mad: But she's exposed to them all day- And finds the job not bad. WALTER CHILDS The urge to hike throughout the land Is difficult to smother- His shot gun in his good right hand, His camera in the other. ROBERT COMMEAU Two hundred model airplanes He made before he wentg 'Twould seem that in the Air Corps He should be quite content. EDITH COPPAGE When she brings us Liszt and Gevaert, We experience Moments rare. MARY CORREIO In these very hectic days With housewives in a quan- dary She should make her dream come true- Establish her hand laundry. GLORIA COSTA When We asked her to play Mary At the Christmas season, The choice was not hap- hazard- There was a special reasdn. BARBARA DEARBORN We close our eyes and see her In a radio station Singing with a name band- Wild the acclamation, HARRIET DeFELICE Harriet is the tonic We take so we may bloom: Taken in proper doses She's the antidote to gloom. FRANCES DIEGOLI The bulletin board for Jan- uary She had to undertake: Not her fault if the quaran- tine Made the subject out of date. JOSEPH DIETLIN He really wants to graduate, And yet he dreads the minute When he must face the multi- tude, Recall his speech, begin it. WILLIAM DiSTEFANO Laugh and the world laughs with you - He does-in horror we leap, For such a frightful groan he gives We feel we're meant to weep. MARGARET DONOVAN To Boston on Saturday morn- ing She gayly wends her wayg At a school of art she'll spend A most inspiring day. ANN DUGAN We have heard a gi rl de - scribed As beautiful but dumbg But here is glamor and gram- mar: She's obviously not the one. PATRICIA DUGAN By qualms and squeams She's not besetg If one method w0n't work, Another she'1l get. DOROTHY DURANT She's dedicated to her art. When lags the conversation, Her mind is on a loftier thing- The glory of creation. RUTH ELLIS To Florida she did not go: We're dewy-eyed and tremu- lousg Could it be she wished to spend The entire year with us? Page 11 NORMAN FABRI A fish, some meat, or frozen fruit He'l1 hand you with a smile: In school as in the grocery store He's pleasant all the while. BEVERLY FECI In the competition After schooldays looming She will be conspicuous For superior grooming. JOHN FILLEBROWN Astaire and Rogers Are a comely combination, And Johnnie and Winkie Are a perfect imitation. DORIS FILLION It's sheer curiosity We must admit, But the nickname, Mickey- Just how does it fit? ALVIN FORNACIARI Even his nickname Suggests that sport In which, come springtime, He'll cavort. JP DOROTHY FORNACIARI To study the piano A s we Or soothe a fevered brow? I Vi A decision she must make Not very long from now. Page 12 'x u ., , . DAVID FOWLER He was to go to Middleboro, But he changed his mind, . We like to think it was be- cause For P. H. S. he pined. EILEEN GARUTI We've found her very helpful When we want a favor done, She's pleasant and coopera- tive, Yet seeks no place in the sun. LAURA GARUTI She served as head librarian: Our admiration won By creating the impression That work could be real fun. CHARLES GILBERT Every subject in his course He does not adoreg But Period V and Radio- Who could ask for anything more? ELAINE GIRARD She thinks she'll do what her mother did: May she prosper in her choice! Four years from n o w th c youth of the town May listen to her voice. RUTH GORDON The Beatrice Lillie o f o u r stage? Her name on a marquee? Since her debut in November, We feel that this could be. ALFRED GUERRA When he goes into service, He should make a bequest: His lovely jacket to the girl He deems above the rest. BARBARA HALL Her amazing appetite Cannot be deniedg So numerous her activities It may be justified. DOROTHY HANSON VVhen duty calls, she anwersg So gracious her compliance She puts to shame rebellious ones Who would show defiance. ' HARRY HANSON Track and trumpet Titivate him, No slouch at either We would rate him. JEANNETTE HARDING Children here, children there, Children, c h i l d r e n every- where- Not everyone would think it fun To prepare them for grade one. WILLARD HUNT He shuffled off from Buffalo In his Junior year, We hope we've made it evi- dent We're glad to have him here. BARBARA HOLMES Those who have a carping tongue Arouse her deepest ire, Those who prod and pester She holds but little higher. ROBERT HUTCHINSON A weekly trip to Kingston We can comprehend, But how he gets his car to run Puzzles us no end. JOHN IZZO He's engaged in a struggle Terrific and grim- Will he conquer English Or it vanquish him? BETTY JEWETT We don't know how she reacts To mastadon or mouse, But the cocker spaniel is the dog She'll have around her house. JOYCE KENNARD In Period I who's failed to see How she emulates the bee, Doing all a girl can do Tolinreet detail tests in Period EDWARD KEIRSTEAD He'd hate to live in a city, To work in a factory go: He would be close to the rich brown earth With a chance to watch things grow. Page 13 MARJORIE KNIGHT Co u l d be in basketball or hockey She rocketed to fame- But she beat all boys in news tests! More honor to her name. CLAIRE LAMONTAGNE We don't know what aptitudes The B. U. tests revealed, But her interest really lies In the business field. DAVID LINDROS The class looked up and fol- lowed Miss Rafter's pleading look: She shook her headg we heard her sigh, Oh, David, close that book! MARY ALLEN MANION Seven Lively Arts by Billy Rose On Broadway is presented: No more than two she needs to keep Her busy and contented. GEORGIA MARINOS VVe say this in No mood censorious, But our will against hers And she'd be victorious. HELEN MARINOS Foreign languaeges for some Provide a tortuous mazeg They were for her a sunlit path Through her high school days. Page 14 A 93 . I w,,.wLN u. f r' HERBERT MITCHELL After a gruelling week, he says, He will ask for naught But a chance to eat and a chance to sleep- And that's not demanding a ot. NANCY MONTANARI From a scientific viewpoint Our procedure couldn't be worse: Nancy simply looks like a girl Who would make a first-class nurse. BRUNO MONTALI In the crackle of the static In the hum of rectifier More than in the human voice He finds something to admire. LEVI MONTEIRO For Levi we were saving Our most potent jibes, But Uncle Sam protects him From our diatribes. RICHARD MORINI He owns the Car Distinctive: As he whizzes by, Numerals and nicknames Meet our startled eye. DOROTHY MOSKOS Dauntless is our Dorothy Dashing through the day, So much like a magnet We must go her way . NANCY MURRAY She does not choose the spot- light, For she is quite content To do the task that lies at hand, Nor others' fame resent. ARLENE O'BRIEN When she leads the cheering squad, To her work she thrills: No need at all for her to think Of taking vitamin pills. ARLENE OTTANI She's not in the least pugna- clous, But everybody knows That no good purpose would be served By stepping on her toes. ALFRED PEARSON The value of the spoken word He thinks is overrated: When a thought must be ex- pressed, It should be briefly stated. BEVERLY PEDERZANI Not for the duration, She'l1 sign up for life: She'll become a sailor's mate, An ever-loyal wife, PALMA PEDERZANI It isn't easy for many, And it isn't easy for her To admit that she is in error To another's opinion defer. mt' NZ. 2 Y l f BELLA PEDRO Not in these very words per- haps, But inevitably she'll ask, What was it that Miss Raf- ter gave For t0m0rrow's task? JANET PERKINS She thought we wouldn't sec them, But we did. How could she choose To dance a stately minuet In her saddle shoes? LOUIS PICARD His service in the State Guard May stand him in good stead. Prepared is he as boy can be For days that lie ahead. RUTH PIMENTAL She often seemed detached and cool When in trouble we have smartedg Come, take the mask ofT, Ruthie, We know that you're soft- hearted. MARY PIOPPI Service to her school and class She's given in full measure: Vsfe hope that from it she will reap Fond memories to treasure. MARION PULSIFER Marion has a little lamb That gives her heart a thrill Romping o'er that little farm Down in Ellisville. Page 15 JOSEPH QUINLAN He doesn't like to take the bus To Plymouth every day: We seek a helicopter His discomfort to allay. ROY RANDALL To read his football column We'd think he'd never played: Yet he was a co-captain, Resourceful, undismayed. BARBARA RAYMOND What goes on inside her head We only can suspect: Were we to question her, she'd give The answer most direct. MARY REED To know her is to like her: Wherever there is need She will lend a helping hand With no thought of meed. HARRY REZENDES We fear he secretly consigns To the deepest Tropics Any teacher who requires Detested oral topics. LORRAINE RICHARDS She has a host Of good intentions: Most prove to be more Than timely inventions. Page 16 FK sq! IVAN RICHMOND We need only look at Ivan To see that he could be Of service to a football team, And he was-in reality. LILLIAN RODERICK She's pleasant and obliging A s s h e s e t s out teachers' trays, A nd shemakes the lunch hour smoother In numerous little ways. MARY RODERICK llc-1' word is as good as her bond. When she accepts a task, She. attacks it with vim and vigor- What more could anyone ask? ALFREDA RONCARATI lf she deems it Worth her while, She'l1 use her dimples To beguile. ELEANOR RUFFINI She doesn't work well under pressure, She won't be badgered a bit, She'll do a task well in her own good time, But she'll not be hurried a whit. JACQUELINE RYAN She's moderate by nature,- She holds herself aloof Be she the recipient Of praise or of reproof. MARY SALMI She will answer the Navy's call! She goes into training to find The way to ease the suffering Of the broken in body and mind. ELEANOR SAMPSON Dental office or kindergarten-- Which place would be the finer? If the latter is her choice, The tiny will lead the tinier. NORMA SCOTTI To be able to smile In the depths of defeat Is not a test Most girls can meet. RICHARD SEARS Now Dick's a fine young radioman, For motors has a penchantg But when it comes to home- work, He is not so trenchant. ROSE SITTA She looked at her proofs And was frankly dismayedg But the pictures, when fm- ished, Her worst fears allayed. ROBERT SLADE So you'd win for yourself All the ladies' attention? Just learn to play swing Like a boy we won't mention. 4113 Lg' lux MARIE SOUTHWELL Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of them all? We ask you now, is it Marie? So much time she spends with thee. MARIO SPALLUZZI When a teacher's in the room, He's decorous as can be: But let her to the ofiice go, A different boy is he. BARBARA STEVENS She may give it if you ask itg Otherwise she'll keep Her opinion to herself Locked in a silence deep. MARJORIE STEVENS Marjorie has her paint brush. What may we now expect? Deft'y with artistic strokes She'll get the right effect. ALTHEA ST. ONGE As meticulous in hockey As in an English test- Whenever she exerts herself, She does her level best. SUMNER STRATTON Give this boy a job to do And he'll do it at the doubleg It's only when he's idle That he gets into trouble. Page 17 THELMA SYLVIA Thelma's voice, so sweet and low, Is one of Miss Wilber's woesg But she can speak in accents clear When she does it with her toes. FRANCIS TAVERNELLI With him it's axiomatic: From one's high school days Returns are in proportion To the effort one displays. BRADLEY TEXEIRA If only it were possible To spend the entire day I n Aeronautics a n d M a - chines- Then work would turn to play. HILDA VALENTE Not given to outbursts Of grief or despair, Absorbed in her tasks- May she happily fare. Page 18 I f LAWRENCE SAVOY Happy are we that he wanted To do what he had to dog First he was of the seniors To don the Navy blue. RUTH VICKERY As treasurer of 305 She more than rang the bell: Her room was first in the war bond drive And led stamp sales as well. EARL WALKER We think that he would be distrait Without his lassie fair, For anywhere we choose to go We're sure to see them there. BETTE WATTERSON She's a devotee Of Terpsichore: See Grecian lore If you'd learn more. PEARL YOUNG Pearl goes around with her head in the clouds- To pilot a plane is her dream: If wishing a thing can make it come true, Sbe's sure to come in on the beam. Cfom am! lafamenf WE, the class of 1945, being of sound mind and body, although tempor- arily prostrated because of the over-zealous efforts of our teachers to impregnate us with knowledge, do declare this to be our last will and testa- ment and make the following bequests: To THE FACULTY! A me-thod of releasing hungry boys from Room 303 at lunch hour without the usual stampede-for the benefit of Miss Iris Albertini. A miniature rocket ship in which Mrs. Helen Bagnall can spirit C. B. home so swiftly that his C. O. will never notice his departure. A day lin the near futurel when school buses will no longer be late -a boon to Mrs. Ruth Bailey. A girls' English Class that will produce better poetry than ours for Mrs. Louise Bearse. A method of protecting her embryo artists from dripping paint brushes-for Mrs. Margaret E. Brown. For Mrs. Viola Figueiredo, a book of recipes so foolproof that they will never fail, no matter what manner of boy may be attempting them. A squad as ingenious as ours in the art of girls' tumbling-for Mrs. Beatrice E. Garvin. A recording of Don't Fence Me In for Miss Beatrice Hunt, to be played whenever her groups need relaxation. A pasteurization plant to enable Miss Olive Hey to handle the product of the cow she was willed last year in order that she may obey the regula- tions of the Health Department. A hand-tooled leather folder in which Miss Jeannette Jacques may keep her notes on her experiences in France in the summer of '35, A pair of built-up shoes for Miss Helen C. Johnson so that she will not have to look up to her pupils. To Miss Lydia E. Judd, a group of students whose doodlings will bear a rather closer resemblance to shorthand than to Egyptian hiero- glyphics. A recording of her voice fmade of pre-war material for durabilityb to be played each time Miss Elizabeth C. Kelly is about to say, There will be absolutely no talking after 8 :10.

Many of these boys are already overseasg others are training in this country. We think it fitting to have, in place of Alumni Notes, excerpts from letters of former members of the Class of Nineteen Forty-five. At present I am stationed at a base in South America. The heat is intense, and the country aboun-ds with snakes, alligators, monkeys, baboons, and millions of annoying insects. For recreation we climb the hills, go swimming and fishing, pick many varieties of fruit, and have ourselves a time knocking cocoanuts down from the palm trees. We have a pet monkey nam-ed Skipper that has thoroughly learned the art of pocket picking. He loves to go horseback riding and, when we do take him with us, we have to keep an eye on him because he likes to beat the horse and these horses are pretty wild. I appreciate the interest the school has taken in me and wish to thank all. Joseph Santos SIXC South America I don't believe any of you will ever be able to realize how much those of us out here wish we were back graduating with you. But of course there is a war to be fought, and you people back home wish you could be part of the team out here doing the fighting. I realize it because I was once one of you and I wished it, too.

Arthur Freeman S 1,f'C South Pacific I have been transferred to the Pacific Fleet and I soon hope to meet some of my friends out here.

We had our classification tests about four weeks ago, and I qualified for Radio Operator Mechanic Gunner in a B-26 or B-29. Well, here is the schedule that I have fo-r one day. First, we get up at 4:30 A. M., clean our barracks, and I mean clean them. At seven o'clock the day starts with two hours of drill, then dinner time. After dinner I have two hours of lecture, such as map reading, and then radio studyg then after another physical training period and another lecture we have chow. At six o'clock I have off until nine, unless I get some kind of detail, which we all usually do. Pvt. Richard Balboni Keesler Field, Mississippi CAL65 Olflg PRAYER FOR PEACE We bow our heads in solemn prayer That each may have his proper share Of God's protecting arm and shield. For when the tumult and the shout Of conflict die, a faith devout Remains for humble men to wield. Our task will be benevolent: To soothe men's minds and thus prevent The thoughts of fear that they have known, Of blood and sweat, distress and toil. In blazing heat, on lonely soil, With inner strength from God alone. May generations yet to rise Be freed of horrors from the slcies, And days be tranquil as of yore With happiness beyond compare. O God on high, fulfill our prayer: Help us restore the peace once more. BARBARA STEVENS Page 28 W , C sua 2 all 5'-M re S Q, 3' i V, V, ,372 3 as . 1-1 .,, ,PQ-mr. IH , JW.

For the past nine years the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution has invited public high schools throughout the country to do this, and in Plymouth High School the Class of 1945 chose Barbara Hall as the girl most outstanding in dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Sports have always been important among Barbara's extra-curricular activities. She played on the first teams of both basketball and hockey during her Junior and Senior years. As a member of the Ensemble and the Girls' Glee Club, she has been a participant in many musical programs. She was also the Vice-President of the Student Activities Society in her Junior year. A Barbara has shown her interest in the literary field by serving on the Sophomore Features Committee of Till Victory, and as Editor in- Chief of the 1945 Year Book. Having been elected to membership in the National Honor Society in her Junior Year, Barbara has been a Junior member of the Plymouth Woman's Club. As the last year of our high school days draws to a close, the Class of '45 is confident that it has made a Wise decision in its choice of Barbara Hall as its Best Girl Citizen. MARY LEA PIOPPI AMERICAN HERITAGE Rolling plains, lofty heights, Rivers broad, valleys wide, Teeming cities, quiet towns, Farms at harvest, mill wheels turning Are the structure of my homeland. Roads that stretch like ribbons wide, Across the land from shore to shore, With their constant stream of traffic Over bridge, under mountains . Are the sinews of my country. Men at work, men at play, Kin of mine, friends of yours, Authors, farmers, men of science, Teachers, laborers, doctors, priests Build the bloodstream of my nation. Love of neighbor, care for poor, Constant striving for improvement, Freedom of religious worship, Liberty for all the people Mold the spirit of America. Structure, muscle, blood and spirit! Out of these was built my country- But without true love quite worthless. In the breast of every citizen Beats the heart of my America!

S. under the leadership of Miss Nellie Locklin de- cided that the sale of defense stamps should begin on Sep- tember 27. At the same time the new jeep campaign will be started. The goal of this drive is fixed at S4,950, the cost of a flying jeep and a field ambulance. With Dutch Morini and Roy Randall as co-captains, the 1944 football squad played its first game against Abington. Today the members of the school were privileged to listen to four members of the Army Air Corps who spoke to pupils concerning requirements, training, and opportunities for ser- vice in the A. A. F. OCTOBER The school enjoyed a March of Time film on Canada, the first in a series of eight such films to be shown here. With President Joseph Dietlin presiding, the Senior Class held its first meeting, at which plans for a dance were dis- cussed. The girls' hockey team played its opening game of the season with Middleboro. In an assembly sponsored by the S. A. S., the school listened to Mr. Charles W. Copp, an American who has taught in Japan for twenty-one years. He related many enlightening and in- teresting facts concerning the country and its people. The Senior Class held its annual dance this evening, and all who attended spent an enjoyable evening dancing to the music of Carlo David's orchestra. NOVEMBER An impressive commemorative ceremony was held in honor of the late Mr. Wayne M. Shipman, a beloved former principal of' this school. An address by the Reverend Carl Knudsen and a dedicatory speech by Francis Tavernelli were delivered to the students and the many friends of Mr. Shipman who were present.

Harrigan of the American Red Cross spoke to the school concerning the work of the Red Cross at home and abroad. The traditional Parent's Night was held in order to promote closer cooperation between the paren-ts in the home and the teachers at school. Mrs. Marion Longever concluded her duties at P. H. S. where for the past three and a half y-ears she has served as secretary. She was well remembered by the school staff and the student body who showered her with many gifts. She will be replaced by Mrs. Ruth Bailey. 1 Three war films of vital interest to all were shown to students. They portrayed the invasion o-f the Normandy beaches, the attack and occupation of Cherbourg, and the liberation of Paris. DECEMBER At the Jeep Dance held to promote sales in the Jeep Cam- paign, pupils bought stamps to the amount of 312290. The school has gone victoriously over the top in the campaign to purchase a flying jeep and a field ambulance. The students of P. H. S. were given a battery of guidance tests by two Boston University professors to det-ermine their various aptitudes and interests. This year a program intended to evoke the Christmas mood and spirit was prepared by the Fifth Period Girls' English Division under the supervision of Mrs. Miriam Raymond with Joanne Calzolari as general chairman. Each girl accepted responsibility on some committee, and the entire group ap- peared on the program as a speaking choir. Their selections included The Christmas Story , Hark! The Herald Angels Sing , and I Heard The Bells . Carols were sung by the ensemble on the stage and the glee club in the balcony direct-ed by Miss Beatrice Hunt. They were accompanied by a trio- Mrs. Amelia Vincent, violing Mrs. Roland Holmes, cel'og and Miss Nellie Locklin, piano. The Christmas words and music were presented against a very effective Nativity Scene. Mem- bers of the art classes including Dorothy Durant, Doris Fillion, Dolores Ghidoni, Barbara Holmes, Mary Allen Manion Mar- jorie Stevens, and Bette Lee Watterson are deserving of special Fri. 22 Tues. 2 Thurs. 1 1 Tues. 6 mention for their work under the supervsion of Mrs. Margaret Brown.

Page 36 Qi iron euiew Under the watchful guidance V of Coachehs Louis Rudolph and F . lVIario Romano, th-e football squad began training vigorously for its first game, only two weeks away. With only one session of body con-- tact because of the late arrival of h e l m e t s , Plymouth entered the game against Abington very much the underdog. The outcome was not entirely unexpected. Abington was the victor by a score of 31-7. How- ever, the new gridsters in the line gained much experience, which proved to be helpful in the coming games. The outstanding players were Richard Morini and Richard Balboni in the backfield, and Ivan Richmond and Ken- neth Telfer in the line. Th-e next game was at home against Rockland, an evenly-matched contest all the way through. As the final whistle blew, Rockland was ahead 12-7. Long runs were made by Richard Morini and Richard Balboni, but an equal amount of credit for good performance should be given to the line which held Rockland for seven downs on Plymouth's one-yard line. The team then journeyed to Middleboro. Again Plymouth lost by a score of 12-19 to an adversary that had been undefeated and unscorede upon in its first two games. The first Plymouth touchdown was made by Richard Morini on a twenty-yard run through the center of the line. The other came when Richard Balboni intercepted a Middleboro pass on Ply- mouth's three-yard line, and then raced ninety-seven yards behind good blocking by the whole team. In this game James Butters, Plymouth center. sustained a fractured wrist which forced him to discontinue football. Playing against a much larger and heavier Milton Academy, Plymouth went down to its fourth straight defeat to the tune of 26-0. Then Plymouth was beaten by Braintree on its home grounds. The Valiant Plymouth line held the visitors to only one touchdown for three periods, and opened holes for the Plymouth backs to make possible long runs by Richard Morini and Robert Roncarati. These, in turn, set up Plymouth's touchdown on a one-yard buck by Roy Randall. In the last few minutes of play Braintree scored on a pass to de-feat Plymouth 13-6. Plymouth then journeyed to Whitman. In a bitterly-contested game Richard Morini ran thirty yards for the touchdown that gave Plymouth its first win. This taste of victory gave Plymouth new life, and the following week th-e team defeated Barnstable 6-0. With the offense Hnally clicking, Plymouth travelled to Quincy, a three to one underdog. North Quincy fans, however, were soon biting their Page 37 'Za 'ff' my fo 2- 95145 . .Q fbi-X0 Ai. bfzr 40 Q1 Q?

But in the second half North Quincy pushed over one touchdown on a sustained drive from its own thirty-five yard line, and a little later ran back an intercepted pass to gain a 21-14 victory. The entire Plymouth team should be accorded the highest praise for its performance in this game. Ou-tweighed by at least twenty pounds a man, the little giants held big North Quincy until the very last three minutes of play before accepting defeat. In the last game of the season, Plymouth beat Bridgewater 13-6, with the honors again going to Richard Morini. As a reward for his hard work and fine spirit, Co-Captain Dutch Morini was given honorable m-ention on the New England All-Scholastic Football Team. SCHEDULE Opponent P. H. S.

Plymouth won its first two games from Duxbury and Kingston, and then dropped a close one to a strong Rock- land team. From the next four games Plymouth emerged with the lower scores, being de- feated twice by Fairhaven, once by Whit- man, and ence by Coyle High of Taunton. In the next contest Plymouth scored an upset by defeating a highly-touted Abington quintet on its home court. Two more games, one with North Quincy and another with Middleboro, were I chalked up in the lost column. Then Ply- mouth concluded its schedule with victories over Kingston and Middleboro. The basketball boys wish to express to Coach Geoir-ey Nunez their very deep thanks for his teaching, and gratitude for his unswerving faith in them. Boys' Basketball Captain and Coach Robert McCosh and Mr. Jeffrey Nunez Page 311 SOUTH SHORE TOURNAMENT At the conclusion of the regular season, Plymouth prepared for the annual South Shore Tournament. At an earlier date drawings had been made, and for its first game Plymouth drew Stoughton. Piaced by Cap- tain Bob McCosh, who scored ten out of eleven points in the first quarter, Plymouth won 35-11. The next game proved a real test for the Shiretown players. Plymouth struggled hard against a classy Oliver Ames team for a 28-27 victory. In the third and final game of the tournament, Plymouth lost to Abington. All through the game neither team was ever ahead by more than four points. In the last few seconds of the game a basket by John Lopes was nullified, and Abington froze the ball to gain victory and the championship by a 28-27 score. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Opponents P. H. S.

The season began with a scrimmage with Marshfield, as a result of which Ply- mouth was able to eliminate some of its weaknesses. The first scheduled game was played with Middleboro, Louise Poirier making the only goal. Kingston suffered defeats in both its games with Plymouth. These conflicts were exciting because of the long-standing riv- alry between the schools. The first time the team clashed with Scituate, the game proved to be very in- teresting, as for several years now that team has been a South Shore champion. How-ever, the teams were evenly matched and the game ended in a 0-0 score. The second time Plymouth met Middleboro, the Plymouth girls were once more victorious. Again the only goal was made by Louise Poirier. In the second conflict with Scituate the spectators were greatly ex- cited as both teams were trying to maintain their undefeated and unscored- upon records. Marjorie Knight was one of the outstanding players in the game which ended with the score tied at 1-1. Then came the game with Hingham, which was one of the most difficult of the season. Although the team fought hard to remain undefeated, it was beaten in both its games with this school. The season ended with a bewildering game with the football team in which the boys were defeated 1-0. The girls' hockey team is grateful to its coach, Miss Carolyn Parren, for the training which she gave, and to Eleanor Rufiini for her leadership as captain.

A holiday game was played with an Alumnae team composed of some of the school's very r-ecent graduates Who, although they were defeated, provided more than a little competition for the undergraduates. The first game was played at Middleboro, and there the home team suffered its only defeat of the year by a margin of s-ix points. ' Throughout the entire game with Hingham, Plymouth remained in the lead, the Hnal score being 13-9. In the second game with Middl-eboro, both teams played a hard-fought game, and the Middleboro team was defeated by three points. At Hingham Plymouth Was again victorious, with Midge Knight as high scorer for the home team. The season closed with a fast game with Kingston, whidh resulted in a victory for Plymouth by a score of 25-11. The team greatly appreciates th-e interest and instruction given it by the coach, Miss Carolyn Parren. SCORES Opponent P. H. S.

Whenever there is any excitement, Elston Bartlett is on the spot ready with his camera. It is certainly fortunate that he is, or we should have to do without his numerous and interesting displays of snapshots. Curiosity Dept. For what possible reason have many Junior girls been attracted to Room 102 during spare moments and study periods? Is it that the fem- inine sex is thirsting for a deeper knowledge of chemistry? Jollymates Dept. When unusual tranquility reigns, among others there are always Enzo, George, Irving, or Melvin to mar it. Although there are some who at times do not at first fully appreciate their jollity, they cannot resist smiling for long. Football Dept. The Juniors are certainly proud of the boys who played this year on the football team. Among these grid stars are George Martin, Arthur Shaw, John Banker, Herbert Kearsley, Kenneth Telfer, and Henry Ferrari. Anticipation Dept. With the congratulations being expressed to John Banker on his election to the captaincy of the '45 football squad goes the hope that he will lead a championship team. Basketball Dept. During the basketball games this year the Junior stars have certainly been visible. Names? There are Captain Robert McCosh, Harold Govoni, John Lopes, James Butters, and Wallace Dudley, an impressive number. Fragrance Dept. The day on which the chemistry students experimented with hydro- gen suliide was known to all in the school, as the distinct odor of rotten eggs spread very rapidly through the lower corridors to the upper floors. Hockey Dept. As members of the hockey team sped down the field this season, the Junior girls, Louise Poirier and Barbara Gunther, were especially helpful in assisting the team to victory. Latin Dept. This year's Latin students have been struggling with the orations of Cicero as have others in years gone by. However, those who sympathize Page 47 with Cicero's troubles with Catiline are few, while there are many who would frankly favor an earlier assassination. International Relations Dept. The pupils of the first and second period English classes became acquainted with their friends in Belgium and the Belgian Congo because they had to do research Work for an essay contest. Two books were awarded, one to Lillian Parker and one to Marjorie Radcliffe, although as yet no one has received the postwar round-trip ticket to Belgium which was advertised for the two best essays entered in the contest. Poultry Dept. There he goes again! Someone has mentioned chickens to Francis Verre. There seems to be nothing that this expert does not know about his hobby. Presidency Dept. From Carver comes the Junior class president, Kenneth Telfer, who certainly deserves mention on this page. A salute to his town for sending us such a fine leader! The Lone Girl Dept. Noticeable among the members of the first period Machines class is the presence of one girl seated at the front desk. Upon further investi- gation it proves to be Lillian Parker, a resident of Plympton. Rhythm Dept. A salute to our two rhythm makers, Reginal-d Correa and Robert Querze, who contribute to the school definitely pleasing clarinet music.

From those submitted the engraver chose the pictures which would reproduce best-and the editor neglected to see to it that he selectd only one of each senior. We hope that our readers will do unto our advertisers as they have done unto us. Page 76 xl I- .r,1Vgu.,.w5 V f- 1 '1Z s 'Q 2?1vs N114 ,,1 is 1 . 4.14, L'.V 5 fs: 1f9'1-s1:.,...Qg'f':.1-.
