THE QLD WRECK QOSAGEJ A RELIC OF THE WAR OF 1812 Resting below the grist-mill old, Mid eddying foam Hakes from its wheel, It shows when drained the tide at ebb A few black ribs along a keel. There has it stood for eight years And marked the busy seasons go From the bloom of shad-bush on the shore To the hazel's pale and dying glow. But few remember when 'twas laid, Or heard the mallet's echoing rhymeg Or saw its rib uprise-a frame- As some monster of the olden time. Yet did it never part the tide, Its sail to bend 'neath favoring breeze And ride by Ceylon's perfumed isle Or harbor in far distant seas. Its hulk shall be a funeral pyre- The calm Connecticut be its graveg And the charred form of many a ship Shall thy gently rippling waters lave. Unknown the British sailed the stream When darkness brooded over allg Besieged the shores, the vessels burned And held the town in terrors thrall. Still 'mong the annals old and quaint The story is still handed down, And the old wreck is pointed proof Of when the British came to town. -S. M. CoMsTocK 418937 S 'QQ x . XX Y VI -K.

Named after the famed ship which was sunk in the North Cove of Essex, the Osage proudly presents the record of our various activities and accomplishments during the past year. It has been an honor cherished by each graduating class to publish an outstanding Year Book, which will be treasured by all.

The student representative body of the school is made up of fifteen members. Five members are chosen from the Senior Class, four from the junior Class, three from the Sophomore Class, two from the Freshman Class and one from the Eighth Grade. These fifteen members, together with the principal of the school, decide the issues which affect the activities and welfare of the student body. Some of the many issues which they decide are the preparation of the school calendar, cost of tickets for different affairs, and the social problems of the school. lvl! li ' X - H52 M iw'3Yx::f?

Look- ing back now, I well remember those early days of our preparation and marvel at how well we have carried on. Our destination, ah yes, it cost us dearly, having lost fourteen members of our party at scattered points along the way and sometimes afraid more would become dis- couraged through the narrow mountain passes or burn- ing deserts andfall back to what they considered the easier life. But we who are now here are proud. We have proved beyond a doubt that the 49ers have sur- passed in courage, resourcefulness and deeds all previ- ous wagon trains taking this route. It hasn't, however, been all work and no play for us. Along the way we've stopped and staged dances which have attracted people from all over the countryside, our fame preceded us wherever we went land justly, tool. Perhaps the most miraculous happening in our age was the glimpse into the future of our party. But enough of this! It is my duty to give you our historical data at this time. We, the forty niners, in 1945 started our long tedious journey across the rugged terrain of time with four covered wagons containing forty persons and their paraphernalia. The kindly and ever-helpful Mrs. Mackimmie guided us through the first difficult stages of our trip, aiding us in our registration and mapping out the de- tails which we were to follow closely-or else. A seasoned group of pioneers decided upon an ap- propriate dress for the beginning of our travels. Natur- ally, we took their advice and wore fthe girlsb long skirts, high-heeled shoes, socks, straight hair with large red bows and no make-up, fthe boysb short pants, ladies' blouses, garters, baby bonnets, and both boys and girls carried dolls and signs which bore the vital statistics of the owners. While still decked out in these rigs, we decided to perform for our own amusement, land that of every- one around usj. One by one, we took our positions, staunch and dignified, and recited a four-line jingle which each one had composed. After one day, we found these get-ups to be too impractical, discarded them, and continued pressing eagerly forward to the end of the first milestone. We forty-niners believe strongly in democracy. Thus we elected our leaders in the democratic way and changed the personnel at every milestone. The leaders who guided us through all hardships with surprising ease were: first milestone, president, Hanford Johnson, vice-president, Charles Carnabucig secretary, jean Urbatig treasurer, Betty Ingrahamg second milestone, president, Sandy Mackimmieg vice- president, Robert Piantag secretary, Marguerite Ek, treasurer, Elsie Field, third milestone, president, Han- ford johnsong vice-president, Robert Piantag secretary, Marguerite Ekg treasurer, Eleanor Carlson, final mile- stone, president, Hanford johnson, vice-president, Tom Pratt, secretary, Marguerite Ek, treasurer, Eleanor Carlson. The ever-vigilant Mr. Oliver guided us through both our second and third milestone. Only for him, the forty-niners might have been involved in many fatal dangers. It was while plodding through '47-'48 that the mir- aculous prophecy which was favorable to all occurred. That year we presented two outstanding entertain- ments in the form of dances to replenish the supply of diminishing provisions. We staged a magnificent levee in honor of the preceding wagon train which we had managed to overtake. Never before had the great desert responded so vibrantly to the sounds of music and dancing. Time flew hastily by, and before we had finally man- aged to coax our mule into doing his share of the work, we found ourselves starting out on the last lap of our journey. Mr. Bateman, equipped with a mathematical mind, graciously accepted the extra task of navigator and helped us cross the Rockies to our promised land. This past year we've taken time out only twice for any real festivities, once at Christmas time when we gave another one of our famous dances, and our last celebration consisting of a banquet, a church service in our honor, the holding of an open house, for should we say wagonj for all well wishers and the greatest moment in our lifetime - the reaching of our destination. Only the sages know what the future has in store for us. Now let us all hope that they see through the use of picks, pans, and various other tools which we have picked up along the way, a great deposit of hidden gold unearthed for each and everyone of the forty- niners. CLASS OFFICERS HANFORD ALSTRlN JOHNSON WOW Class President 1, 3, 4, Glee Club l, 2, Track lL, 2L, 3L, 4I., Captain, Basket- ball 2, 3, 4, Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4L, Student Council 1, 3, 4, School Play 3: Dra- matics Club 4, Science Club 2, President, Osage 4, Forum 2, Dancing 1, 2, Chairman Junior Prom 3, Fall Dance 3, Christmas Dance 4. Don't let Hanfordk winsome smile and dark good looks deceive you. lf you ever tried to argue with him, you'll know you just can't win. During his four years at Pratt his able leadership of our class, his active participation in sports and his willingness to do any job have made him a very popular classmate. Best of luck, Hanford, in Colorado and the coal mines! THOMAS HARTWELL PRATT TOMMY Trafhc Squad 4, Dramatics Club 4, Soccer 2L, 3, 4L, Baseball 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, Captain, Basketball 3, 4, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Class Ofhcer, Vice-president 4, School Play 3, Osage Board 4. Tommy has certainly cheered up many a dull class for us with his witty remarks. He not only has a good sense of humor, but he also participates in many sports and does well in his studies. We all know Tommy will be a success. He has to be with his optimistic outlook on life. MARGUERITE EK BIRD Prattler 3, 4, Girls' Chorus I, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Class Secretary 2, 3, 4, Science Club 2, Dancing Club l 2, Osage 4 Forum Club l, 2, 3, 4, One-Act Play 2, Traffic Officer 3, 4, Dramatics l, 3, 4, Field Hockey 3I., Declamation 2, 4, Basketball 4, School Play l, 3, Minstrel 2, 3, 4. Whenever there is a task to be performed, a quiet, unobtrusive girl does it. Yes, Margie's willingness, cooperativeness, and patience will help her in her career as a teacher. She has participated in almost every activity at Pratt and has served faithfully on our dance committees. ELEANOR ANN CARLSON ELLlE Class Treasurer 3, 4, Girls' Chorus l, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Minstrel 2, 3 4, School Play l, 4, Prattlet 1, 2, 3, 4, Hockey l, 2, Editor-in-Chief of the Osage 4, Declamations 1, 2, 3, 4, Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4, One-Act Play Contest 2, 3, Traffic Squad 2, 3, 4, Assistant Manager of Magazine Campaign 4. Ellie and her wonderful sense of humor have certainly brightened many hours for all of us. ln fact, whenever there's laughter in room l2, you are sure to find Ellie's wit re- sponsible for it. What is the Minstrel going to do without her clever impersonations of famous movie stars? What will happen to the Prattler's L. A. P. column without Ellie? Only the future holds the answers to these baffling questions. I3 MARY ANN AGOSTINELLI GUSS Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Minstrel 3, 4, Library 1, 2, 3, Homemaking 2, President 3, Vice-president 4, Dramatics 4, Dancing 1, 2, 3, School Play 4. Some folks naturally prefer Dottie Lamour, but we seniors unanimously elected Gussie as our favorite brunette. She's also our number one Hawaiian girl, as her interpretation of Lulu in the school play proved. Aloha! Aloha! Mary, and happy hula-hulain' in the future! EMILY MARIE APPLEBY EMMY Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Basketball 2L, 3L, 4L, Hockey 2L, 3,L, 4L, Captain, Baseball 1, 2L, 3, 4L, Cheerleading 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain, Student Council 4, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Operetta 1, Prattler 4, Osage Board 4, Traffic Squad 4 Dancing Instruction 1, 2, Magazine Campaign Home Room Manager 4. That flash you see on the hockey field, or leading those peppy cheers isn't Superman-it's Emmy. Her popularity as an athlete and cheerleader was established this year when she was elected captain of both activities. We know no refreshment committee would be complete without her able assistance. With all these qualities as a background, Emily will surely make a fine, eliicient nurse. Best of luck always! CAROLYN ROSE BURKE RED Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Cheerleading 1, Basketball 1, Hockey 1, 2, 4, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Homemaker Club 2, Dancing 1, 2, 3, Operetta 1. If there really are Seven Wonders of the World, we've discovered the eighth in Carolyn. Her unparalleled list of gentlemen friends is definitely a masterpiece within itself and her crowning glory deserves honorable mention too. Let's hope that Red can boil her beaus down to one lucky man! HAROLD ERIC EK PROFESSOR Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4, Track 1, 2, 3, 4, Declamations 2, 3, Dramatics 2, 3, 4, Ragio Club 4, Science Club 3, Dancing Club 1, 2, 3, Rifle Club 4, Minstrel 2, . 'Taint Kay Kyser, Kiddies, but nevertheless, it is our old professor in the person of Mr. Ek. His witty remarks have sent the class into an uproar and his pleasing personality has made him innumerable friends. Here's what he says about the women on whom he's quite an authority. They're too aggressive! 14 1 -I .1- Q 3, 1 , :I Q Q 1' 5 .r l I 6 s ' 1 5 I ,S s . wif srl fm ,Q 1 W sis Eiga , ax tc .rswfne-.

A. R. During her four years at Pratt, Elsie has made an outstanding record. She excels in both sports and studies. Surely with the ability she has shown in high school, she will be a success in her chosen career. Our whole class wishes you the best of luck, Elsie. FRANCIS JAMES FURFURO TANNY Soccer Manager 4g Orchestra 4Lg Camera Club 45 Glee Club 4, School Play 43 Osage Board 4, Track 4. We regret that Francis has been with us for only one year, but due to his cheerful smile, Maine lingo, and sense of humor, our last year was a happier and brighter one. His talent with the drums has been an important asset to the orchestra and now we're betting on Tanny to beat out a promising career. NORMA ELENA GAUDENZI Cheerleading 1, 2, Girls' Chorus 1, 25 Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Field Hockey 1, 2L, 3Lg Dancing Instruction 1, 2, Homemaking Club 2, 3, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Baseball 3L, 4Lg Declamarions 3, 41 Library Club 43 Hi-Y Club 43 Prattler 4. Norma is a short, athletic-looking girl and so far as Norma is concerned, looks don't lie. She has served as fullback on the hockey team and she always gets an A in physical edu- cation. Norma's efficiency has paid her dividends for she was elected state vice-president of the Future Homemakers of America during her junior year. Every success in your teaching career, Norma! LAUSANNE GLASEN ER GLASEY Clef Dwellers 3, 45 Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 1, 23 All-State Chorus 4, Osage Board 4. There'5 a quotation: Without music life would be a mistake, This certainly applies to Lausanne with her talent as a pianist and singer. She has entertained us at many an laisiemblly and she will be sorely missed in chorus. We are sure she has a bright future e ore er. 15 BE'l'I'Y JOAN INGRAHAM , Class Treasure-r 1, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Cleff Dwellers 3, 4, Secretary-Treas- urer, Homemaking Club 1, 2, President, 3, Secretary, 4, President, Operetta 1, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Dancing Club 2. Where would the F.H.A. be without Betty? Her leadership in this organization has made it one of the most outstanding clubs at Pratt. Her neat and attractive appearance has been the envy of many of her classmates. We have all enjoyed your friendship and wish to send our best wishes with you for the future. JOHN ALBERT JOHNS A JOHNNY Soccer 1, 2, 3L, 4L, Basketball 2, 3, 4L, Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4I., Declamations 2, Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Rifle Club 4, School Play 3, One-Act Play 2, 3, Dra- matics Club 2, 4, Minstrel 2, 3, Dancing Club 2, 3, Art Club 1, Osage Board 4. One of the class comics, the Al Jolson of our minstrels and a' prominent member of the Glee Club, describe one fellow and that one fellow is John. Because of his musical talent, and his happy, friendly manner, we're sure he'1l sing his way into a successful future. LOUISE IRENE JOHNSON RED Homemaking Club 2, 3, Cheerleading 1, 2, Dancing Class 1, 2, Girls' Chorus 1, 2, Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Minstrel 2, 3, 4 ,Operetta 1. lt is better to be seen and not heard or vice versa. Either way, poor Louise gets the neck of the chicken, as she's both the quietest and most petite member of the class. If she do? make hairdressing her career, we know- she'll do well judging by her own attractive coi ure. ' ALEXANDER A. MACKIMMIE SANDY Class President 2, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4 President, Boys' Clee Club 3, 4, Orchestra 3, 4, All-State Chorus 3, Minstrel 2, 3, 4, Soccer 1, 2L, 3L, 4L Cap- tain, Track 1, 2L, 3L, 4L, Basketball 3 School Play 3, Osage Board 4, Dancing Club 1, 2, 3, Photography Club President 3, Radio Club 4, National Athletic Scholarship Society 2, 3, 4. Believe it or not, girls, but Sandy doesn't have a Toni. His curly hair is-the genuine thing and the envy of many of the weaker sex. A Student Council member for four years, he is now its president, besides being a valuable asset on the soccer and track teams. With his pleasing personality, we're sure that Mac has a colorful future awaiting! 16 ROBERT EDWARD MAGOWAN BOB Soccer 1, ZL, 3L, 41.9 Basketball 1, 2, 3I., 4Lg Track 3L, 4Lg Baseball ll., ZL, 3L, 4Lq Glee Club 1, 2, 3, President 45 Minstrel 3, 4, Dancing Club 1, 2. Bob's skill in athletics has brought him much fame and popularity at Pratt. An ardent member of every sport that Pratt offers, he'll be a greatly missed character, come next year. A good-natured smile and a cheerful brand of humor also help to add more laurels to our esteem for Bob. ROBERT KARL NIELSEN BOB Boys' Glee Club 1, 2, Minstrel 2, School Play 1, 3g Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4Lg Track 3L, 4L. Bob really puts those long legs of his into use-darting about the basketball floor in the winter, and grooming for the track season come spring. He does a mighty good iob, too! How about it girls? Let's cut our hair like Bob's, and throw away those curlers! JEAN ELIZABETH PALAU jEANNE Field Hockey 3L, 4Lg Baseball 2, 3g Osage Board 43 Prattler Staff 3, Editor-in- Chief 4, Dramatics 1, 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 23 Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Science Club 23 Minstrel 2, 3, 45 Dancing Club 1, 23 One-Act Play 2, 3, Business Manager for School Play 3, 4. When there is laughter, you will rind Jeanne. She has added to our class with her sense of humor and cute appearance. Pratt will certainly miss you, Jeanne, when it comes to making posters! DORA ROSE PEDINELLI Girls' Chorus 1, 2 Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Hockey 1, 2, 35 Basketball 1, 2, 3L Manager, Baseball 1, 2, Homemaking Club 2, 3 Vice-President, Dancing l, 3, 43 Minstrel 2, 3, 4. Nimble feet plus a beaming smile are two important factors in describing Dora. Her ample store of pep and energy lets loose on the dance floor, while an occasional giggle slips out in the classroom. Happy waltzing, Dora! 17 ROBERT CRAWFORD PIANTA BOB Student Council 2, 43 Traflic Squad 2, 3, 4 Captain, Boys' Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Secretary 4, Dramatics Club 5, 4 President, Soccer 1, 2L, 3L, 4Lg Baseball 1, 2L, 3L, 4Lg Basketball 1, 2, 3g Minstrel 2, 5, 4, All-State Concert 5g Ride Club 45 Class Officer, Vice-President 2, 35 School Play 33 Pi Club 2, 3, 4 President, Dancing Club 23 Osage Board 43 One-Act Play 2, 3. If you are looking for someone who has done a great deal for his class, your man is Bob. He is :Blige all-around student and has participated in just about every activity. Nice going, o ! WILLIAM KIMBALL RUTAN KIMBALL Whenever you pass Room Two and hear two voices buzzing away, you can be certain that it's Bill and Mr. Oliver arguing over the possibilities of a perpetual-motion machine. His unusual mechanical ability has pulled us out of many a tight jam, and his fabulous collection of out-dated limousines is one for Bob Ripley. Happy motoring, Bill! JEANETTE RU'l'I'Y JEAN Prattler 45 Osage 4, Homemaking 23 Clef Dwellers 3, 4, Minstrel 3, 4, Cheerleading 1, 2. Running short on giggles? Then go see Jeanette, for she always has plenty on hand. On the serious side though, she's a good commercial student, and if any businessmen are rummaging through these pages-Stop! We're advertising Miss Rutry for some lucky fellow's secretary. Yea Man! ELAINE MARGUERITE SMITH SMITTY That pert dark-haired miss you've seen in the halls of Pratt hails from Greenwich, Connec- ticut. Elaine's good looks and witty remarks have already made many friends for her here. Her easy-going manner and quick sense of humor have brightened many a dull study hall and class room. Best of luck in the future, Elaine! 18 SHIRLEY LOUISE STAEDELE STEAD Baseball 1, 2L, 3L, 4L5 Basketball 1, 2, 3L, 4L5 Girls' Chorus 1, 25 Clef Dwellers 3, 45 Minstrel 2, 3, 45 Operetta 15 Prattler 45 Osage 45 Homemaking Club 25 Dancing Club 1, 2. Shirley is a quiet, unassuming young lady whose station wagon has enabled many of her classmates to attend Pratt's games. Shirley certainly put us over the top in last fall's magazine campaign-in fact, she was the state's top salesman. Let's hope she'll use this remarkable ability in the future. LYDIA HELEN STURKE LYD Hockey 1, 2 Manager, 3L, 4L5 Baseball 1, 2, 3L, 4L5 Basketball l, Assistant Manager 2, 3, 4L5 Dramatics 1, 45 Forum 1, 2, 3, 45 Girls' Chorus 25 Clef Dwellers 3, 45 Photography Club 45 Science Club 25 Girls' Crafts 35 Cheer- leading 35 One-Act Play 35 School Play 1, 3, 45 Minstrel 2, 3, 45 All-State Chorus 45 Manager Magazine Campaign 45 Prattler 45 Osage 4.
