Fleming Class of 1946 Barbara Tindall, ' 46 SEVERAL new and bright faces were seen around the corridors of Scituate High in September. They were those of the Freshman Class members. Some of these were even new to the class. Among the latter group were in- cluded Marylou Dobbs, Jean Douglas, Carol Dunphy, Ann Graham, Robert Mongeau. and Joan Powers. Maybelle and Robert Manning joined the class in November. Nancy Dutton moved to Wellesley soon after school started. At the election of class officers, Charles Flem- ing, Dick Dwyer, and John Litchfield were chosen president, vice-president, and treasurer, respec- tively. Although Marylou Dobbs was elected class secretary, she soon moved to Cohasset. and the office was filled by Barbara Tindall. When Mr. Samuelson left us, Mr. Stewart took his place as class adviser. There were three from the Freshman Class on the committee for the Freshman-Sophomore Dance which was held on April 16. They were Ann McKenzie, Pat Rouleau, and Ward Swift. This dance was a great success. Although none of the Freshman girls made the first team in either basketball or hockey, many of them participated in both sports. This lengthy list includes Peggy Cole, Margaret Damon, Carol Dunphy. Ann Graham. Ann Heffernan. Thelma Jenkins, Marie McCarthy, Helen MacDonald, Ann McKenzie, Madeline Riani. Pat Rouleau. Barbara Tindall, Dorothy Vaughn, and Ruth Whittaker. All who played hockey received their junior varsity letters. The boys who went out for football and basketball were Charles Flem- ing. Robert Holcomb, Donald McPherson. Ralph Roberts. Ward Swift. Charles Vickery. Bill Vin- ing, and Daniel Yuhr. The boys who played football also received their varsity letters. In the raving success, Salad Days, Pat Rou- leau and Ann Graham from the Freshman Class played minor parts. ( Continued on Page 41 I

Litchfield Class of 1945 Carmel Manning, ' 45 LOOK out. Scituate High! Here come the Sophomores. We have started school with a bang this year as usual. When home rooms were assigned, we found we were bestowed on Miss Harrington and Mr. Wilcox. Coming out of algebra that first day, you could hear a faint buzzing in the corridois. and if you got close enough, you would have found that all the inquisitive sophomores wanted to know who the two new members of their class were. We finally found out that the red-head was Scott A miot and the one with the curls was Teddy Dunne. During the year we thought that we were going to have another permanent member. Del- phine Kilgore. but she proved to be only a visitor. We were very sorry to lose six other meiTibers during the year — Wilson Hollis. Burton Ainslie, Robert Clapp. Barbara De Costa. Mavnard Hirtle, and John Jenkins. Finally, after a lot of consideration we decided to have our class election. We elected Rocco Foniri, president; Vaughn Deal, vice-president; Emily Whittaker, secretary; and Merilyn Ewell, treasurer. As class adviser we chose Miss Vines. The Sophomores have continued their partici- pation in sports. As you looked out onto the hockey field one fine afternoon about half past two, you could see many Sophomores giving the Juniors and Seniors a little competition. Anne Butler was showing the other classmen that she could play inner as well as anyone else, and Ann Page was doing her best at full-back. Emily Whittaker, of course, was the star half-back and Carmel Manning tried hard at the same position. They were all lucky enough to get their letters, though. If you went to football games on a Saturday afternoon, you will remember that the Sopho- mores also had a good representation in this sport. There were many that went out for it who will make the team next year, but there were also those that starred this year. Among those [Continued on Page 40)

27 Junior High EIGHTH GRADE NOTES Gladys Hill, 8 A Virginia Mongeau, HB On Septenihrr an illustrious eighth grade, numbering sixty-six pupils, entered Scituate High School. Eight B had a change in their home room teacher. Miss Walker left to take up duties in Wellesley Hills. To show our appreciation of her work, we gave her a desk lamp, a calendar, book ends, an ink stand and a paper weight. Miles Richmond of Eight B proved to be a high-speed salesman, having sold thirty dollars ' worth of magazine subscriptions. Many pupils are planning to have victory gardens. Some of the boys are going into the chicken business, and one girl, not to be outdone by the boys, will raise pigs. Some other ambi- tious young men will go mossing. It was interesting for the class to note that Robert Devine is vice-president of the active 4-H Club. The eighth grade is proud to have among its members two all A students, Patricia Cahir and Terrence Butler. SEVENTH GRADE NOTES Shirley Damon, 7 A Louise Reddy, 7B September 9th was quite a date for some eighty young people, for on that particular date we entered the seventh grade of Scituate Junior High School. As we look back on our first few days, we remember we were quite excited and nervous because we didn ' t know what to expect next. Billy Amiot and Holker Welch, the comedians of the classes, often give forth with remarks that take the dullness out of class life. Of course there are others who also add to the fun of the class. Since we are such a large class we have many ambitions. Some of us want to be nurses, doc- tors, secretaries, reporters, or teachers. Billy Amiot wanted to be a doctor, until he saw a cer- tain movie which changed his idea of a career to that of a farmer. Many of our boys want to join the armed services when they grow up. Bonds and stamps have been sold in each room. 7B leads 7A by having bought seven bonds to 7A ' s two bonds. Almost everybody tries to help. We will buy stamps and bonds to do our share to get that Jeep. School News Now llial June is ncaring we all are crossing our fingers and studying hard so that next year we ll be in the eighth grade. THE SOCIETY OF STRAPHANGERS Patricia Cahir, Grade 8 All angles and phases of war and its effects, Irom morale to flat feet, have been treated by our intellectuals, but somehow the Society of Straphangers has been neglected, or, more spe- cifically, the act of being initiated into this not so exclusive society has been overlooked. I am now a member of two weeks ' standing. Membership is not recorded on a written card. One automatically becomes an honored partici- pant by dropping a precious dime into the sub- way slot and receiving his initiating nudge from the person next to him. The social or financial status is not an important issue. Members range from mink coat wearers to bargain basement seekers, and from toddlers small enough to slip under the gates to aged toddlers. Though one might emerge with minimum damage, the expe- rience and education gained is ALMOST worth it. If you doubt it, pay your fee, and join the ranks of the Straphangers. DAILY DOINGS Jackie Vaughn, Grade 8 In the morning about half past eight. You see kids hurrying so ' s not to be late; And when you get in, that old song is sung Go get a slip, for the bell has just rung. From there on it ' s a mad rush and tear To get to your class before the others get there. Then about eleven-thirty it ' s time to eat. And then comes another scramble to get a seat. When two-fifteen comes, look out on the stairs Or you ' ll visit your doctor for expensive repairs; Soon you ' re deafened by one joyful shout. Everyone ' s glad because school is out. And so ends a day of the golden rule, But tomorrow you ' ll be right back in school. « » On John Billings ' first flight he forgot to fas- ten his safety belt. During a loop he was natu- rally thrown out. As the instructor dived past him he heard him mutter. Well, so far I ' m all right.
