Proclamation If there are any who have read this far who would be at all interested in what the class of 1949 is like, read on. If not, turn the page. Often, in spite of our busy lives, we find an evening free for the movies. Of the several movies we have seen we singled out The Best x X I ' Years of Our Lives because it was tops. Ingrid Bergman X :Ei and I9 Gregory Peck - are the finest actress and actor we know, and they have always held us Spellbound . 1- 95' Our favorite' pastime is dancing, gd and we can think of no better band than Vaughn Monroe's to provide our music. By the way, we espec- 551 -,223 Q M ' on ially love popular music, and we could listen to Stardust 3 '51 any day of the week. Getting back to that wonderful music maker, no A, Vaughn Monroe, he played in our favorite dancing place, CIL . .lli a few years ago. Remember? We seniors do read, too. We think Mutt and JMTHQ are swell for laughs, and we get really interested in Life , Our favorite study is Engli and speaking of studying X. brings up the subject of the radio. We love to listen to Arthur Godfrey and his talent scouts.

Senior Silhouettes When one thinks of Hucksie, his low, powerful voice almost im- mediately comes to mind. That voice, along with intelligence and a sizeable amount of personal charm, has in large part brought him the success he enjoys in so many of the school's activities. Hucksie was our sophomore class president, a ten-cent-a-week collector for three years, and for two years a busy member of the S.A.S. executive council and the Pilgrim staif. In his junior year, he won three most distinguished honors: the state dis- trict competition in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, election to the National Honor Society, and appointment to the 1948 Massachusetts Boys' State. HERBERT I-'INNEGAN We are agreed that the senior corridor could not have been the same this year without this blond, six-footer stalking about in it. Our vice- president heads the Student Activities Society and also participates in the affairs of the Pilgrim staff and the Dramatic Club. In his junior year Bobby was a Plymouth delegate to the 1948 Massachusetts Boys' State at Amherst. Bobby's noisy sense of humor is genuinely funny and his serious opinions are always intelligent and sometimes rather wise. MARIIJYN MAGUIRE As our class treasurer, Webster maneuvered one of the most finan- BOBERT SAUNDEBS Marilyn's friendly, helpful manner and her calm good judgment have won her popularity and the esteem of her classmates since grammar- school days. Our class secretary has served actively on the S.A.S. and numerous dance committees, and as our junior class secretary and a bank teller. An avid sportstress, she played hockey, basketball and softball in addition to being one of the school's ablest and prettiest cheerleaders. cially impoverished classes in P.H.S. history through the maze of gradua- tion expenses. As business manager of the Pilgrim, he saw that ads were collected in record time. Last year Webster was the hard-working presi- dent of the Press Club and this year he has the deserved honor of serving as president of the Massasoit Chapter of the National Honor Society. His- reputation for outstanding leadership early achieved, he had yet to amaze us with his versatility by making a highly successful theatrical debut as Francisco, the revolutionist, in Riding Down the Sky.

Since our class is so wide-awake and full of pep, a fact which is evident to anyone who pushes through the top floor corridor at recess, our boys QQ. like football 0 better than any other sport, and so do the girls, o, if? .l ' even though a game on Saturday means little voice on Sunday. Most of us are so busy having fun that we're always hungry. We 0 choose as our favorite eating place. However, we just can't 1' f decide which food we prefer to eat there, -pizza or spaghetti. Well, there it is, the collective personality of Plymouth High's forty- niners . The following attempts at poetic description of the one hundred and twenty individuals who contribute to that personality may not be as accurately and seriously treated, but perhaps the faces, which accompany them will tell all . . Thus, while the sun sinks down to rest Far in the regions of the west, Though to the vale no parting beam Be given, not one memorial gleam, A lingering light he fondly throws On the dear hills where first he rose.
