SKHTEXG � ebaae ide ROXBURY MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL (BOYS) — Foreword Within this Yearbook may be found a record of the deeds and accomplishments of the class of 1953, a group of fine American young men, upon whose shoulders rests the hope of our nation. Cherish this book, for it unfolds the memories of a glorious year. We, the editors, thank this class for its cooperation, interest, and sympathy. To all, the staff wishes joy and prosperity. .God bless you everyone! Contents Administration Seniors Organizations Athletics Features Our Friends Dedicated 10 Mr. Robert B. Masterson The class of 1953 feels singularly privileged in being per- mitted to dedicate its yearbook to Mr. Robert B. Masterson, retiring Head Master of Roxbury Memorial High School (Boys). During the past quarter century Mr. Masterson has guided the destiny of thousands of graduates in dismal days and dark, through a period of history as unpromising and depressing as the world has known. That these graduates have been success- ful not only according to the wordly definition of success, but in becoming loyal, devout citizens, is due in largest measure to his inspiration and to-his example. The word “master” seems harsh when applied to our beloved principal. Rather, in his relations with students has he combined the affection of a father with the kindly encouragement and leadership of an older brother. We, like the classes that preceded us, love Mr. Masterson; we reverence his ideals; we cherish his memory. Physically he is leaving us; with God’s help, the lessons in good living which he has instilled in us, will remain with us always. SYOINAS OL TIAAATUVA SCI VALSVW AVAH Headmaster’s Farewell Seventy years is a long time. I remember marching as a small boy in the victory torch-light procession at the election of President Grover Cleveland. I saw the disappearance of horse-drawn street cars and the introduction of electric trans- portation. When I was 12, there were only four automobiles registered in the whole country. The first automobile that I saw was such a novelty that it led a circus parade. Every Memorial Day time, blue-clad veterans marched to cemeteries and frequently came to school, all of them clad in generals’ uniforms, to tell us about the battles of the Civil War. When I was in high school, Marconi flashed the first wireless signal across the Atlantic, and about the same time basketball was invented in Springfield. Motion Pictures had not yet appeared. School consisted of nine grades in grammar school and four years in high school. The Junior High School had not been established. Students chose either the Latin and Greek clas- sical course or a “Scientific” one that contained no ancient lan- guages. Commercial courses were introduced in about 1899. No advice was ever given to pupils about what course to take, and no one cared whether pupils passed or failed. The college board examinations were introduced in 1907, the year I began to teach; but in our school, only one teacher ever said anything about them. There was no advising, no giving any assistance of the sort that here at our school the guidance department and all of our teachers so generously give to every boy in every course. No other school that I have ever heard of has done so much for the boys as this school. I hope that you, in turn, will imitate the solicitude your teachers have had for you, re that, when you grow up and meet other boys, you will help and advise and guide whoever may come to you for assistance.

The Senior Class officers Jack Diamond, Frank Damigella and Leonard Bassil exec- utive Committee, Gerald Bell President, and Earl Tittlebaum assisted by Mr. Cove- ney, Faculty adviser were able to establish a broad and interesting Senior program this year. Among the numerous activities which it successfully conducted were a Prom, Yearbook, and Class Day. . These are only a few of the outstanding students representing this years senior class. Although these are only names which can be mentioned here, our thoughts lie with the many other leaders of the senior activ- ities, for without their help no activities could function properly. Class Day Committee The graduating class of 1953, under the guidance of Mrs. McGrath and Mr. Cove- ney, produced an outstandingly entertain- ing Class Day Program. The Class Will, Prophecy and Superlatives were presented with great skill to the extent that compli- ments and praises were liberally scattered throughout the audience. George Pearson and “Mike”? Cantor successfully collabo- rated on the class song, which undoubt- edly will take its place among the all time greats of modern music. Gerald Bell, presi- dent of the Senior Class, delivered the major address of the day, which held the attention of every one of the more than 300 present in the auditorium. We, of the Class Day Committee, hope that the entire Senior Class believes, as we do, that the Class Day Exercises were a paramount success and will long stand as a criterion for senior classes of the future.

Included among our many scholars are Frank Damigella of the Executive Committee, Edmund Barry, Donald Good- win, and Joseph Morello of the National Honor Society, and many of Memorial’s outstanding athletes, too numerous to name here. It is impossible to find words to thank our cordial home-room teacher, Mr. Richard Brown, for his advice and able assistance. We leave Memorial with the thought that from this printing class will come the most outstanding printers of tomorrow. For the first time in the history of the Yearbook our cover design was done by a printer, Robert Elliott.

We can be proud to say that almost every member of our group has worked intensely for the benefit of our alma mater, especially the following: Irwin Kabler of the Prem Committee, Max Karass of the football team, and Jerry Hirschorn, Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook. It is a fact that the boys of 316 formed the working nucleus of the entire class and were always ready, willing, and able to cooperate when called upon. Mother Memorial may well be proud of these young men, who show rich promise for the future.

Room 320 The boys of our room have profited greatly by the kind and sincere attitude shown them by Mr. Landrigan, our home room teacher. In public speaking, Room 320 was well represented. We extend our thanks to “Stan” Miller and Bruce “Buzz” Newman for their fine work in the public debates. Likewise, the scholastic record of 320 was high. A’ great majority of the class attained grades sufficient for col- lege entrance. Room 320 had _ five of its pupils in the National Honor So- ciety. They were Morris Neiman, who also heads the chess club, Leon Moore, John Nash, Edward Learner, co-editor of the Bostonian, Bruce Newman.

Our class, a high spirited one, has whole heart- edly supported the athletic association, the Bostonian, and other school activties. Allen Phillips, class treasurer, did a grand job. In Room 322 there are many prospec- tive doctors, lawyers, engineers, and business men. Good luck to them all.

To him go the thanks of a grateful class. Gian 1953 ake. The motto of this year’s Pr-m Comm't- tee, under the able chairmanship of Mit- chell Cantor, was “If at first you don’t succeed try, try, again.” The committee strove to make this year’s prom, the first one after three years of failures, the greatest prom Memorial has ever had, and succeeded. The true spirit of the Senior class was shown Ly the cooperation they gave the committee. The quota of tickets was reached and surpassed in a short time, and the committee set to work to find just the rignt band, hall and date.

Year Book Literary Staff To a senior, the Yearbook, unfolding 2ll the memories of his high school life, becomes onz of his most cherished posses- sions. With that spirit ever in m‘nd, a dil- igent staff, under the Co-editorship of Marvin Cantor and Gerald Hirschorn, la- bored to publish this Yearbook. Many thanks are due to the entire literary staft for its excellent cooperation, and especially to Associate-Editor, Irwin Kabler, and Sports Editor, George Pearson, who sacri- ficed many hours, and expended much effort that this Yearbook might be a suc- cess. The entire printing department is also to be complimented for the efficiency and exactness employed in publishing this work. To our able and ever-helpful advisors, Mr. Conway, and Mr. Doherty, the well- earned gra titude of this literary staff is given. GES of 1953 59 The business staff is also to be congrat- ulated for the fine work which they did in making this Yearbook possible. Through the untiring, ceaseless efforts of the Bus- ness Manager, Gerald Arbetter, Assistant Business Manager, David Holsberg, and Mr. Landrigan, the sale of advertisements and the photography were managed effi- ciently, and extremely effectively. Their work has even more mean'ng when we re- alize that without this staff and its excel- lent cooperation this Yearbook could not have been published. Thanks are also due th ose boys who did so fine a job in typing and to Miss Dinegan for her cooperation.

We don’t int end to boast, of course, but it is only the truth to say that without the Business Staff the entire attempt would have been impossible. We were the sturdy indi- viduals who, under the leadership of Busi- ness Editor David Holsberg and Assistant Business Editor Gerald Arbetter, went forth to sell the advertisements needed to finance this literary undertaking. However, each and every one of us fuily realizes that all we did accomplish ras due in most part to our incomparable faculty adviser, Mr. Landrigan, whose sage advice cleared our path to success. (Glas of 1953 61 When faced with Mr. Conway’s project of converting the school magazine into a newspaper, we must truthfully say that many members of the staff were doubtful as to the outcome of such a plan. How- ever, when the combined efforts of co- editors Edward Learner and Irving Shear joined forces with the relentless criticism of Mr. Conway, our expert faculty ad- viser, this very capable group succeeded in producing a publication of which the en- tire school could be proud. In the course of the year we have worked long and hard and have faced many discouragements, which made _ the way just a little more difficult, but when evaluating the finished product we can point to the “Bostonian,” hold our heads high, and say, “This we have accom- plished.” Bostonian Literary Staff Second Row: Mr. Conway, Manager Gerald Hirschon, Robert Rawlinson, Robert Rothman, Gerald Faverman, Stanley Cohen, Gerald Bell, Charles Gordon.

Honor Society Every member in the Honor Society feels that he was honored by being chosen, and in return he does everything within his powers to improve the school. It is a matter of record that the boys in the Honor Society participate in more extra- curricular activities than does any other individual group, as well as being the out- standing students. This year, under the able leadership of our adviser, Mr. Barnes, and our officers Sher, Vipler, and Neiman, the Honor Society is coming through with a wide program that will be beneficial to the whole school. (Eel 1953 63 We should like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Assembly Committee for their fine work in the pro- ducticn of our numerous assemblies throughout the entire year. These rarely- noticed and seldcm-thanked boys, under the guiding hand of Mr. Francis J. O’Cennor, have made great strides in the maintenance and operation of cur assemblies. Special consideration should be given to David Holsberg, general chairman, head projectionist, Stanley Samuels, and Marvin Freedman, stage manager.

Corridor Patrol The corridor Patrol, day in and day out, gallantly and courteously guides parents and students through Memorial’s corridors. Corridor Patrol Posts are located at every exit. And they also are placed at the doors leading to the South Side. Mr. Donovan very ably directs the corridor patrol. Executive headquarters are located in 334. We tip our hats to these courteous gen- tlemen who do their jobs quietly and efficiently. Class of 1953 65 The new school year of 1953 was a booming financial success, most of the credit going to Home Room Treasurers, who did remarkably well in collecting voluntary contributions for class dues, activities fees, yearbook, and charitable organizations. These thirty-two able treasures, under the guidance of Mr. Donoghue, were fam- iliar sights in the morning, going around to each student with notebook and pencil in hand asking, begging, and sometimes pleading for contributions. The whole school congratulates this excellent group of boys for doing a fine job for the school.

Office Staff One of the most active groups of boys in the school is that group which through their efficient operation of the switchboard and distribution of the daily bulletin make it much easier for both students and teachers to plan their school days. These boys assist the secretaries in prepar'ng the attendance bulletin, delivering messages, and paging other students to the office. Truly they are an indispensable part of the school and are worth commendation. ey of 1953 67 Memorial has always had a good reason to be proud of her chess teams, which have in the past taken on such potent rivals as Technical High, Latin, and Brookline High. The team will be hurt by the gradua- tion of President Morris Neiman, Vice- President Gerald Faverman, Secretary Jay Abramson and Robert Maltz; but there is a nucleus for the future with Hal Task and Richard Werbner. Mr. Donovan is the sponsor of the chess team. Chess Club Second Row: Mr. Landrigan, Paul Janis, Martin Resnick, Frederick Mark, Richard Werbner.

Forum Club This year, as in the past, Roxbury Memorial held four very interesting forums. The topics discussed were the following: 1. What Form of World Government Should The United States Support? 2. It Is Unethical for Public Officials, Either Elected or Appointed, to Permit Their Personal or Political Debts to Be Paid by Private Indiy- iduals or Groups? 3. The Voting Age Should Be Lowered to Eighteen; and 4. The Electoral College Should Be Abolished. 5. Much credit must be given to our marvelously efficient public speaking teacher, Mrs. McGrath; to Mr. Donovan, for assisting in checking the authentici- ty of the facts in the forums; and to Mr. Conway, for assisting in the checking of the English. Gita of 1953 69 The French Club was founded on December 10, 1952, under the able direc- tion of Mr. McCormack. The first slate of officers are Gerald Faverman, pres- ident; Nathan Lubofsky, vice president; Stanley L. Cohen, secretary; Irving Ma- son, treasurer. During the year, the members have had enjoyable and inter- esting meetings. Movies were shown, de- picting French life, and there were a few guests who spoke about French language and customs. The meetings were con- ducted in a French atmosphere, since French was spoken whenever possible. Good Luck to these members and sin- cere hopes that the French Club will continue to be very successful.

German Club The German Club meets every second Tuesday in Room 534. It is under the direction of Mr. Gross. Its purpose is to bring a greater understanding of Ger- many and its culture. Although the club is new they have a very ambitious pro- gram. This year German movies were shown. Lectures were given by guest speakers, among them Mr. Donovan. The officers for 1952-1953 are Hams Traiger, president, Morton Resnick, vice president and Edward Goldman, sec.-treas. The future is bright for this progressive club. Gls o } 1953 71 As it has been the tradition in past years Memorial has again retained the high standard of the glee club. Under the able leadership of Mr. Burke and his consulting executive committee, made up of the fol- lowing members: Steven Tamkin, Cyril Hubbard, Joseph Goldman, and William Sadof, the Glee Club has attained great popularity among the students. Although the meetings meet once a week, the Glee Club has managed to master a considerable number of popular and classical songs, while helping to perfect such soloists as Robert Ente, Cyril Hubbard, Jason Hubbard, and Harold Task. This is but part of the program planned by the pres. Robert Ente; vice pres. Harold Task; sec. trea. Steven Tamkin; and manager William Sadof to allow students, who are musically inclined, to partake in school activities.

History Club The History Club meets weekly after school in 334, under the able direction of Mr. Donovan, to prepare the members for the college-board entrance examinations and the various competitive examinations such as the Hearst, United Nations, and the Massachusetts Labor Contest. Under Mr. Donovyan’s tutelage the club has won many honors for Memorial. This year in the Hearst Contest, Memorial finished third, sixth, and tenth, out of 240 entrants. We are certain that in the future many more honors will come to Memorial because of our History Club. Cilass of 1953 73 Roxbury Memorial High School was one of many high schools to participate in the student exchange day program. On Roxbury Memorial’s committee were Barry Sax, Gerald Faverman, Bruce New- man, Edmund Barry, Stanley Cohen, liaison; Arnold Sher, chairman, and Dr. Donovan, faculty adviser. The purpose of Student Exchange Day is to give high school students, a chance to learn about other schools and communities. On March 2 we visited Stoughton High School. A tour of their modern school was followed by visits to local industrial and historical spots, a dinner in our honor by the town officials, and attendance at the town meeting. Two weeks later we welcomed the Stough- ton committee and Mr. James Jones, their faculty sponsor. A tour of Memorial and Roxbury was followed by the Mayor’s luncheon, and visits to the City Council, the Mayor’s Office, and the Planning Board.

Junior Red Cross When two such devoted students as Bruce Newman and Samuel Pearl combine their creative talents to further the cause of such an inspiring organization as the Junior Red Cross, beneficial results to all concerned are assured. Although the program for this year is not as diversified as was that of the previ- ous years, our group did succeed in accom- plishing many things to wh'ch we can point with pride. The chief goal of our organization was the expansion of the Junior Red Cross spir- it and activities. In closing, we wish an equally good year to Edward Schuman and Allen Sneider, who will be the representatives in the suc- ceeding school year. We also wish to thank Mr. Peter F. Kean, our teacher sponsor, without whose able supervision many things we accomplished would have been impossible. (Cis of 1953 75 The successful work that Mr. Holmes has een doing with the Physics Club can be proven by the fact that this year’s mem- bership is the largest in Memorial’s history. The club elected no officers, for every member feels that his only purpose in at- tending the after-school sessions is to learn physics, which he does under the able Jead- ership of the ever, energetic and fine gen- tleman, Mr. Holmes, to whom the whole club is most grateful.

The speake rs, under the able guidance of our own Mrs. McGrath, spoke on the subject of International Government. When time came for the Girls Scholar- ship Play, it was necessary for us to lend a helping hand to our sister school, and to say the least our boys really outd’d themselves. “Of Thee We Speak’’, a dramatic pro- duction staged by the girls, was made more of a success through the aid of some of our dramatic club members. We confess that we did little, but we can proudly say that the little that we did was done well. Radio and Dramatics Second Row: Mrs. McGrath, Bruce Newman, David Cohen.

Membership in the club requires that a student must have taken, or is in the process of taking, Spanish for a minimum of one year. Rusiness meetings are held regularly in which there is discus- sions of different topics. Reports are given by members about Spain with a discussion period after each talk. Movies are shown once a month to ac- quaint members with the culture and social views of Spain. The spirit of the club is well expressed in the statement from our constitution that the Spanish Club of Roxbury Memorial Boys High School shall embody the true democratic spirit as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and also in the Constitution of the United States. Glisoh1962 79 Column left, march! Column right, march! How many times a day do the stu- dents of Roxbury Memorial High hear these words echoing from the drill hall? Yes, these are the commands of the able captains who are training and preparing the boys of Memorial for their big days, Prize Drill and the Schoolboy Parade, under the able direction of Colonel Albert Dunphy. Throughout the year, the boys have seen many interesting and enjoyable military motion pictures in Military Science, which teach them how and why the peace of the world should be protected and safeguarded.

Band This year’s greatly enlarged band has risen to great heights under the able baton of our director, Mr. G. Rowland Young. Only through hours of tedious work and individual instruction could these ac- complishments be made. For through his tireless efforts, this year’s band was able, not only to play at our assemblies and street parade, but also at our football games, graduation, and other activities too numerous to mention. We salute you, Mr. Young, with our sincere gratitude. (ah of 1953 81 This year’s Drum Bugle Corps prom- ises to live up to the superb rating which the Corps has received in past years. Un- der the tutelage of Mr. Donovan, bugle in- structor, and Mr. Trongone, Drum in- structor, the 1953 Drum and Bugle Corps is expected to win top honors. This year’s officers include Capt. and Drum Major, James Mason, Captains George Pearson, Jr. of the drum section, and Edward Kushner of the bugle section. Jerry Elfbaum, Jerry Rodman, Howard Shidlow and Alan Cohen are also doing fine jobs in their ranks as lieutenants.

Orchestra The enlarged orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Young who himself is an accomplished musician, completed an- other successful year. Although limited to an assembly, class day, and graduation engagements, the orchestra lived up to its high tradition of performing exceedingly well each time. The orchestra, this past season, has started a string and flute section, which had been missing during the pre- vious few years, in making up the balance of the organization. The curriculum ranged from popular to symphony music, in the short span of the year, giving a well rounded mus‘cal edu- cation to the members of the orchestra. The orchestra hopes it can enlarge its body and activities in the future so it can once again be a credit to Memorial and to the Boston Public Schools.

This year, under the guidance of our new coach, “Tom” Moran, Roxbury Mem- orial started rebuilding a very successful team. The team, led by Co-Captains Mike Cantor, Sid Doren, and Richard Mulloy, along with other seniors Phil Carr, Frank Damigella, George Pearson, Irwin Sidman, Dick Freedman, Max Karass, and Chuck Thebado, had its best record in four years, 4 wins and § losses. Looking towards next year, it appears that we will be a power in the conference, and maybe the long awaited championship will arrive. Next year’s Co-Captains are Aldo Binda and Bob McCoy. The seniors leave with the hope that next year’s class will get behind the team and keep it in the spirit that it has reached now. CPs 1953 87 The Green and Gold basketball team, under the skillful coaching of Mr. Keane, should do very well, despite the disadvan- tage of a smaller squad and the lack of height. The five hoopmasters making up th? starting team are Bill Cort and Jimmy Mason at guard, Skippy Elman and Bob McCay at forward, and newcomer Marty Garber at center. With these experienced ball players, plus the talents of Kelsey, Grande, Cohen, Tapalian, and many new- comers, Roxbury Memorial High School will rank high in 1953.

Hockey The 1953 ice sextet is one of the school’s hustling teams. Although labeled as door mats in the Boston conference, Memorial did very well against Latin, Commerce, Trade, and Charlestown, despite their in- experienced and young players. Coach Thomas is building his team around sophomores and juniors and is looking for- ward to a better season next year. This year’s Co-Captains are Heshy Eskot and Chuck Thebado. Other outstanding players include Jim Carbone and Arnie Sher, goalies; Phil Carr, Dick Powell, Johnson on defense; Aldo Binda, Bob Caprio, at the wings; and the spark of the team Bill Smith, at center. Ed Kushner did a good job as manager during the season. Glass of 1953 89 As the much-awaited baseball season draws near, we find several of last year’s top players back on our fighting nine. The power department was headed by Captain “Eddie” Bluestein at first base, the Green and Gold’s leading contender for the All-Scholastic Team. Rounding out a smooth infield were “Freddie” Bartoloni, who alternated between second base and centerfield throughout the season, and “Marv” Dobrow, a. slick-fielding, hard-hitting shortstop. -These three veterans were supported by “Phil” Carr and “Joe” Carnation, sharing the catching honors. “Art” Nowell and “Marty” Garber, a newcomer to the squad, handled the pitching assignments. Numerous problems were overcome by Coach ‘““Tom” Campbell, and junior var- sity coach, “John” Keane, who deserve much credit for their outstanding efforts.

Track Coach Campbell will put on the boards cne of the finest track squads in recent years. The “53” track squad will really go places. It is led by Co-Captains “Buzzy” Pearson, an excellent hurdler, and Stan Miller, a good “300” yarder. Curran in the 1000, King in the 880, Burns in the 600, Monteiro in the 440, Friedman and Miller in the 300, Baler and Calo- francis in the 229 are scme of the best in their particular races. Pearsun in the high hurdles, and Rodriques in the low hurdles cover the “lumber skimming” with the best of them. Dash men such as Galloway, Pratt, Joe Carnation, Zuk, and Cohen make Mr. Campbell proud to be the coach of the “53” tracksters. Clee of 1953 91 The cry of “fore”, echoing across the vast fairways of the Franklin Park Golf Course, will find our sturdy group of “‘turf-mashers,” headed by our very able instructor, Mr. Kean, winding their way toward the eighteenth green. Due to the graduating of practically the entire team of 1952, the accent is on youth this year, with only Bob Fine, Jay Snyder, and Harold Task returning from the pre- vious year’s squad. However, with Lew Ginsberg, Arnie Kalfin and Gerry Arbet- ter, the team will endeavor to uphold Memorial’s fine standing in Intra-City Competition.

Mar. 99 100 Uscstontan Year Teer Class Prophecy Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, on this miserable night in 1975. We are broadcasting from the tower of SHMOE. This is V. Don Rosen, substitu- ting for Headline Harry, who’s studying for his final exams at Teachers College. Flash! Flash! All ships at sea, let’s go to press... . It’s been reported by a fellow spy that coming down Blue Hill Avenue on a jet propelled bicycle was none other than “‘Suts”’ Fishman, who was dragging a sign which read ‘Free milk served with every piece of Shtrudel bought at “Dave’’ Podolsky’s House of Shtrudel”’. . . . Going through the sport page of the Boston Post I noticed that “Hesky” Escot at the age of 38 is still playing first line for the Boston Bruins, with his gorgeous wife ‘““Ann” still his ardent admirer. . . . Another feature was that of Bly Cort, who finally made the Celtics by beat’ng out a second rate player “Bob” Cousy. ... The talk of the day is the article in the gossip column written by “Sid” Prager which stated “Marty” Garber and a certain Eileen have finally resolved in matrimony.... And why is it that a certain Chuck R. w-s seen sneaking into a Justice of the Peace and then leaving through the back door with MIMI? .. . By the way, “Bob” Flashner was late for his wedding the other day; if this keeps up he may miss his own funeral. . .. News of the Sea: The biggest destroyer of all times was just put on the water; it was made in Kub- lin’s shipyard. .. . I just received word through a valuable resource that “Skippy” Elman” was just elected President of the Baker’s Union .. . . The Best Seller of the Day: The art of going to Memorial and yet eating lunch at the G. G., by Rothman and Freedman, its bound to be a great hit... . In the profes- sional field: D on Levine is cleaning up with his new position as chief body builder in the Atlas building. . . “Ronny” Bender gave up his current position as Registrar of Motor Vehicles to be the new president of Ford Motors; he has enough experience. . . . now let’s try to beat the red hand around the clock. . “Whitey” Kaminsky is doing well in his Auto Driving School. “Herb” Kaufman was just made vice-president of Timothy Smith... . . “Sid” Price was just made Special Investigator against Communism in the United States. . . .

Striar was just made head messenger for Western Union. . . . Sonny Stecker’s picture now appears in all billboards . titled, ‘Don’t smoke Cheap cigars”. . . . or else Stan Samuels is now operating the camera at the Morton. . . . Marv Cantor is now the editor of the Daily Record... . Arnie Sher was named as president of Wellesley College. Lucky fellow. G.

(Hotel) . Irwin Kabler is the new model for Arrow shirts Al Babbit and P. Barg are the new bus drivers on the Warren St. line. . . . G. Bell has just become vice-president of Harvard College. In the closing seconds I would like to remind you that any similarities of people in this broadcast that are living or otherwise is really not coincidental. friendship Diary My friends are like an endless book That goes from page to page; And one that always seems to grow More beautiful with age. Each sentence is a memory Each word brings back the name; Of one who helped me toward my goal In life’s important game. There is a song in every phrase And every paragraph; That holds a sigh, a lonely tear A smile or hearty laugh. Throughout the contents there is love And kindness of the heart; Though now and then a chapter ends With friends who have to part. But they are friends, no matter what They ever ask or give; And they are in the diary Of how JI strive to live. By Robert Rawlinson. 101 102 USostoninn Year Book Class News 224 The boys of room 224 had an outstand- ing class this year. Frank Damigella and Bob Austin were members of the Prom Committee of the Class of Fifty-Three. They were also chosen “Best-Printers” of the year. Another outstanding classmate was James Carbone who was chosen “Star of the Week” by the Boston Globe for playing goalie for our Alma Mater. Among our other students was Pat ‘“Peg- Pants” Cappuccio who retires after he graduates. . . . Richard Arena holds the honor of being the youngest graduate. . Paul F. Murphy, joined the U.S.A.F. Dognazzi has never missed a day at Memorial. Richard ‘Squeeky”’ Chagnon is our famed “thin man.” : Don Carver and Don Goodwin are our “chatter boxes.” Berj eee eats and eats, but where does it go. Walter Lowery is still looking for gas money for his Model T....King is still trying to make the honor all ... Kelley, Logan, and Hilton are still trying to do away with teachers. . . . The design on the Yearbook cover was the work of Rob- ert Elliot. . . . Reticent Edmund Barry has been a member of the Exchange Group. Here we are in room 224 where the fu- ture printers of tomorrow are engaging in study. We are wondering who will be the lucky one to win the Patrick Smith Award. It will be a tough one to decide between Joe Morello and Ed Barry. May the best man win. Bill Smith, our great hockey player, was enjoying the warm sun in Flor- ida while Tech. headed by De Leo slaugh- tered our green and gold. Rizzitano is still running from the gold- dust twins, John Ragusa and Mike Rindini. I wonder why? What would Don Weinstein do if he lost that wonderful hair? Joe Marino caught Rubin hacksawing the pad lock off Peterson’s locker. We found out why Jim (the Greek) Mal- liaroudakes wouldn’t let any one look in his locker. Jim is called the pin-up kid now. What would happen if P.L. Murphy came to school on Mondays. P. F. Murphy has been called to the Air Corps. Will Charlie Thebado’s girl Claire play hockey for Memorial next year. By the way we’re still waiting to hear Hyme Tavares’ bop records. 312 Entering through the sacred portals of a heme room long to be remembered by its competent master, Mr. McCormack, we see, amidst the eager, cheerful faces of students awaiting E-day (Evacuation Day) Gerald Arbetter, who is planning to open his second voluntary Contribution Bank in the near future. I wonder where he got the money?? Banks is enjoying Ron- ald “the car” Bender’s first chapter of his new book “How Not to Win an Elec- tion.” Meanwhile slugger Marv Clayman, 312’s mighty might, has just landed a crushing blow on the broad shoulder of Joe, “the red-headed, (Victor)” Coffey. Morton “drummer boy” Breen is slowly tapping out the dirge. Stanley Cohen is daydreaming how to spend the ten dollars he won by placing in the Hearst History Contest. Selwyn “the Con-Man” Cohen, who has been doing graph sheets for the past three years, has put in an order for square eye glasses. Mike Cantor, Mem- orial’s great football center and chairman of the Prom committee, has been having nightmares to this effect: “all down, set, pass—over your Prom money, boys.” Dick Asnes arm is two feet longer since he’s been lugging those meat carcasses at the market. Joe Belanger is sporting a “doozy” pair of cowboy boots. Sorry, but you can’t wear them in the navy, Joe. Arny Barron, another enlistee, is going to become a fly boy in Uncle Sammy’s ground crew. Al- though Elliot Bertman complains about the top in the Class. Keep it up Bert. I get bad test marks. He is still won- dering if Blake, Bloom, Coleman, or Glas of 1953 Class News Robert Cohen will ever say anything in the home room. Mary Cantor, editor of the yearbook, is closing his “Law” office down in the lunchroom. Eddie Bluestein is star first-sacker on Memorial’s baseball team. Good luck in Canada, Eddie. Paul Barg is donating three floor boards to the school to replace the ones he broke. He made the mistake of putting his “most” on the floor. Lenny Bassil, everybody’s Buddy, was elected to the Executive Committee by a wide margin. Jay Abramson, secretary of the chess club, and one of our brightest math students, has been continuously missing the honor roll by one mark. As he would say, ““Dog- gone it!” It has been rumored that “Hal” Atkins has been going around the corri- dors muttering, “You are a lush.” Larry the prom. Sid Brodsky is taking his steady. Auron is wondering whom he’ll take to ie What, a doll? Hold everything .... Allan Babbit just missed the hon- or roll by five marks. Mathew Cohn was almost marked absent, but he faced front. Is it probable that Stan Berlin, Leon Burrel, Morton Breen, and Dave “adgetter” Abrams are going to lead our band to a smashing victory over Latin??? Gerry ‘“‘Mr. Personallity” Bell is president of the Senior Class. Herschel Abel has finally reached the zenith of prefection. After all his years of struggling he can now read his own handwriting. Last, but not least, is our chemistry scholar, James Adams, who through his own technique has concocted the best stink bomb this side of Mother Memorial... With these undying, immor- tal memories we leave to Mr. McCormack and future students what past students have left for us . . . nothing. 314 Did you know that: Billy Cort accused Bob Cousy of copy- ing his style? In Dorchester, Lenny Cutler has many “Buddies.” Jack Diamond did not spill a single drop of water during the entire football season. Sid Doren ran for class president, but his best run was for 66 yards against Com- merce. Gerry Elfbaum is wearing elevated shoes. He came to school pretty “high” last week. Hal Eskot was our hero in the 14-0 hockey game against Tech. Cross is in 314. Skippy Elman already has received his first basketball letter from the U. of Mass. We can never see enough of “Bob” Ente, he’s on T. V., too. “Gerry” Faverman has 5 o’clock shad- ow at 2:30 P.M. The name is Feibel not ‘Feeble.’ Bob Fine might comb his hair for grad- uation. “Peewee” Fistal has been elected “Mayor” of 314. “Tzutz” Fishman was voted 314’s “Most” popular boy. Arnie Flashner almost got to school on time. Bob Flashner’s favorite subject is trig. Ed Ferguson is a Yankee fan. Lenny Forman really tossed his knick- name around, we call him “Bull.” Marvin Friedman will soon become a member to the National Association of Amalgamated Pill Pushers. During the football seasan Dick Freedman supported the Boston City Hospital. Marv Dobrow played at Fenway Park. Al Gilman and Jordy Goldings are go- ing to open a school for muscle-building. Harvey Gerovitz said that the world’s “coolest” sax player is in 314, (Who could it Be?) Arthur Glazer is helping Al Ernstein in his new secret formula for bigger and bet- ter bubble gum. Harvey Gilman finally learned to type with two hands. 103 104 where is Lenny? USestoninn Year Book Class News Frager comes from Boston L- - - - school. Garber is just about the size of English High’s shortest Basketball player. Norman Gear is at the crossroads of his political career. “Dave” Glickman passed chemistry with- out going to class. Gerry Goldberg, got his name in this column? ... 316 “All right, boys, it’s time for the first voluntary contribution of the year. Re- member, you don’t have to give, but you are going to.” This is how the boys of 316 were welcomed on the very first day of school by, you guessed it, the CHIEF. From that very day on, 316 has always lead the list in contributions. Are there any questions why? Now I will acquaint you with some of the boys who compose this happy, jovial, little family. Leading off in the first row first seat is Don Goldman. He always seems to be having some sort of argument with Rd. . . . 1 wonder where the fourth of the Goldstein quadruplets is today? Harvey, Ken, and Marvin are here, but . Two thirty-three and all is well except for “bad boy” Goodman. He’s late for checkup again. . We of 316 are proud to claim two champions; Bob Gorfinkle, champ window closer, and Alvin Graive, champ pencil sharpener. Words of wisdom ‘Hansom: if you don’t study your geome- try, I’ll tell Mr. Kearns.” . . . Congrat- ulations to Jerry Hirschon for his wonder- ful work on the Yearbook. . . . I wonder what Dave Holsberg is doing in the as- sembly hall every morning before school? . . . Latest gossip around, “Seymour Jacobs has given up his stamp collection and is now collecting old coins.” . . Better luck, boys, here comes Kabler again for some more money. Have you paid up for the Prom yet? . Those guys are at it again. Kaminsky, Katziff, Kaufman, and Karass have Karshbaum surrounded again. . . Wonder who Billy Kaunfer is going to take to the Prom? ... Who are those two mysterious characters that invade the hal- lowed halls of 316 every morning for their usual conference with Klayman, Kerman, and Gorfinkle? Maybe they are spies try- ing to learn the secret of success of the best home-room in the school. . . . Better get Carl Kalowsky in here somewhere. He’s bigger thanI am. . . .I hear that Jerry Isenberg is going to join the navy after graduation. (Who you kidding anyway?) I better start running myself. And so another eventful year comes to a close with many fond memories. Some of us may travel far and wide and may never see one another again, but we’ll always be bound together by that one unmistakable tie. We are proud to be able to say, “I am a graduate of 316.” 320 Big news stories broke this year, and the class “‘wits” of 320 certainly did a lot of “breaking.” The big and important stories to take place in 320 this school year were both on the serious and comcal side. were both on the serious and comical side. This is what made historyin 320 in ’52- SRY, Don Levine was voted class treasurer, mind you, the biggest crook alive; how- ever his mottos did the trick—“Down With Corruption” and “Men With Esteem Vote for Levine”. . . Morris Neiman lead the chess team to a successful season; how- ever, there were quite a few casualties this season. . . . Bruce Newman and Stan Mil- ler (this is on the serious side) did a great job in the school forums this year; Miller beat them with “Junior Achievement.” . . Lawrence “Johnny Appleseed” Klein- feld was lucky enough to escape the treach- ery of French 4 with MK. . . . The Klein “boys”, Eddie and Marty finally achieved Chass of 1953 . Class News recognition from Memorial—they were both awarded the “‘booby”’ prize. : Millman, Madden, Kling, and Manerer, all in the commercial course, realized that they should have been C. P. all year, but they all crossed the finished line. . . . Mindel, Namiot, and Malkofsky will all be on the “day shift” next year, at B. U. that is. Dave Liederman and Eddie Cush- ner battled it out with “Jim” Linsey for trigonometry honors this year; Jim was high with a ‘c’ plus etc. . . . Ted Learner was selected as co-editor with Irving Shear; “Teen-Age Drivers, Take Heed!” Lapido and “handsome man” Kublin h ave established Business Offices and both have taken to false names; “Purdy” Lapido and “Chris-Craft”’ Kublin. And so, these were the history-making events this year in 320, land of the free and home of LD. 522 On Dec. 16, 1952, Arnie “Cowboy” Rubinstein made class history by wearing a pair of pants. It seems that his dunga- rees got dirty while fixing his hot rod. . Congratulations to Barry Sax. Barry Broushe honor to R. M. H. S. by placing high in the Hearst History Contest. . Did you ever hear of that famous Disc NOERey Stan Russel? In reality he is Stan Samuels, a member of 322. Stan works at the Vet- eran’s Admin. Hospital. He aspires to de- vote his full time to it after graduation. ... Thanks are in order for Alan Philips, class treasurer, Al did a great job. . . . There has been a rumor circulating through the corridors that the Class Day Committee wanted to present Cyrano De Bergerac, starring Chuck Rabatsky, but Chuck wasn’t available. . One of our class- mates, Billy Sadof, is a member of the National Guard. General Sadof says that it is the safest part of the armed services. See you in Korea, Billy. . . . George Pear- son is never at the home room period or at the daily checkup. Cv. is beginning to won- der what he looks like. . . . Whenever an animal visits Memorial, it always finds its way to 322 and Sherm Palan. Mr. Coveney was thinking of changing the number of 322 to the name Palan’s Pet Shop. . . Bobby Rotman says that he won’t leave Memorial until he makes the honor roll. He’s liable to become a permanent fixture at Mem- orial. . . If you don’t like what is printed under your name you can blame Vic Rosen, he’s the author of the class quotations. . . Can you imagine that Billy Schlosberg has been taking shorthand for three years and he can’t speak a single word of it. 334 aa The boys in 334 have elected “Hersh” Smookler, ‘“‘the boy to ask the wrong ques- tion at the right time.” The battle of the century is in 334 between Kevin and Paul Sheehan to see who can become class comedian; . The way Sonny Stecker has been yawning in class makes us wonder what keeps him up late. Too much homework, Sonny, or is it the girl from Latin School? . . . Rumor has it that Earl Titlebaum is getting rich quick. Could it be because he is secretary- treasurer. Edwin Shman_ always dashes home to the mail box expecting a leter from R.P.I. Wish he would get it. . Saul Sherter someday will succeed Mr. Donovan as history teacher. The only thing Saul needs now is a set of keys. . . . Since his election to Good Government Day, Arnie Sher has been handing out cigars—bribe.y maybe? . . . One lesson Danny Striar learned this year is that books on your desk don’t make you pres- ent. Why not try a dummy in your seat, Danny? . . . “Mal” Shurman really loves to tell the boys about his “dog,” Tippy. Does she bite Marshall? Barry Tutin has decided to attend the Mar- itime Academy. Hope you make it kid! 105 tie ah te ah he ah he ht he th ah th ah th hi he hl le le le ee le he ie i a she the tbe the the te he ee ae he a it le hee ie ie ae ie eae ie a tie te le i le lh le le Be le te tie ae tie ae Sie le Sie le Hie ie ie 1952 -National Honor Soriety - 1953 i ARNOLD SHER, President EDWARD VIPLER, Vice-President MORRIS NEIMAN, Secretary JAY ABRAMSON ANTHONY ACCARDI PHILIP ADAMS BARRY AGRANAT PAUL BARG EDMUND BARRY STANLEY BERSON ELLIOT BERTMAN MORTON BREEN MARVIN CANTOR DAVID COHEN HARVEY COHEN STANLEY COHEN MILTON DAVIS SAMUEL DePAULO JAMES DOWNING DANIEL FAGELL SUMNER FEINSTEIN STANLEY FELDMAN HARVEY GILMAN ARTHUR GLAZER EDWARD GOLDMAN HERBERT GOLDMAN ROBERT GOLDMAN DONALD GOODWIN CHARLES GORDON MARTIN GROSSMAN IRWIN KABLER MARVIN KING BARRY KOVER EDWARD LEARNER NATHAN LUBOFSKY JAMES McGRATH AMERIGO MARENGHI LEON MOORE JOSEPH MORELLO HERBERT MORSE MILTON NAMIOT JOHN NASH DAVID NATHANSON BRUCE NEWMAN BERNARD PARK BURTON PEARLSTEIN ROBERT POLLACK JAMES RAVALEON BURTON RESNIC LAWRENCE RITTENBERG ROCCO ROSE STANLEY ROSENBLOOM MELVIN SARANOVITZ BARRY SAX MARTIN SEGAL STEWART SHAPIRO STANLEY SHUMAN ROBERT SZULKIN HARRIS TRAIGER DOMINIC TRINGALE LOUIS WEINER RICHARD WERBNER EET EINIRGYaraie BERNARD ZECKER edhe te te de dee te te deta aa eed eae dedie ede ae aeaeae i Bote the he te te the te he th he te ah th th hh hl ie lt eh a he a i i ee ee eR ie OUR FRIENDS | oy 4 SN SS: Se Re ee he he ee he i aie ie he ie ie i ie he a he ee ie ee ie i ie ie ie ie ie ie Mah-Winn Studios, Inc. 230 Boylston Street Boston, Massachusetts As a credit to all concerned, we sin- cerely congratulate the editorial and business staffs for their fine co-opera- tion—also the printer and engraver for greatly assisting us to publish a book that is far superior in portrait quality to any ever before published.
