10 CLASS OF 1946 Ann E. Graham ON September 9, 1942, we, the class of 1946, started our career as freshmen at Scituate High School. And now that our senior year is almost completed, we look back over our high school record with a feeling of glowing pride. Many new members have joined our class since 1942. among whom are Charlotte Allen from Reading, Mass.; Alden James from Delmar, N. Y. ; Doris Kulisich from Westford, Mass.; Shirley Reid from Lynn, Mass.; and Elizabeth Ann Shaw from Quincy, Mass. Several boys formerly of our class went into the service of our country before graduation. They were William Crosby, Richard Dwyer. Robert and Joseph Fitzpatrick. Robert Manning, and John Stanton. At our first class meeting in September Charles Fleming was once again elected to lead the class through its yearly trials and tribulations. Rich- ard Flaherty bowed to the honors of vice-presi- dent: Joan Powers was chosen secretary; and John Litchfield, treasurer. Mr. Wilcox was el- ected as class adviser. Dashing down the field hugging the pigskin this fall, the seniors were known to have crashed through with many touchdowns. This list of our football heroes was as follows: Sarge Bartlett. Dick Flaherty. Pete Fleming. Donald McPherson. Ralph Roberts. Ward Swift. Charles Vickery. William Vining, and Danny Yuhr. This year the boys ' basketball team came out in second place in the South Shore league. With Robert Holcomb, the star center, ably assisted by Sarge Bartlett. Charles Fleming. Ralph Ro- berts. Ward Swift and Charles Vickery, how could they help it? Once again the Scituate High girls ran off with the laurels of the South Shore league, win- ning almost all their games in field hockey and basketball. In both sports the showing of sen- iors was excellent. Those receiving letters in one or both of these two sports were Peggy Cole, Ann Ciirrati. Margaret Damon. Car(jle Dunphy. Aim Ilelfernan. Thelnui Jenkins. Ann MacKetizie. Joan Powers, Madeline Riaiii, Barbara Tindall, Betty Welch, and Ruth Whittaker. According to our lengthy list of dramatics. Helen Hayes and Lionel Barrymore should bid adieu to the footlights to make way for future stars from the class of ' 46. In the all-school play produced last fall, the seniors that helped put the show over were Sarge Bartlett. Eleanor Bates, Ellen Callahan. Louis Cerilli. Peggv Cole. Ann Graham, Donald Hattin. Robert Holcomb, Donald McPherson. Paul Miles, Joan Powers, Ward Swift. Barbara Tindall, and as assistant- director, Betty Welch. For our farewell to the stage at S. H. S. the seniors chose Strictly For- mal, a riot of hilarious comedy, produced un- der the management of Miss Gile. Those appear- ing in the play were Sarge Bartlett. Eleanor Bates, Ellen Callahan, Peggy Cole. Pete Flem- ing. Ann Graham. Donald Hattin, Ann Heffer- nan. Jean Hersey. Bob Holcomb. Marie McCar- thy, Donald McPherson, Paul Miles, Joan Pow- ers, Barbara Tindall, and Betty Welch. Beating it out for the last four years in our school band, we ' ve had that maestro of the french horn. Donald McPherson, and that hep-to-the-jive baritone player. Cobby Swift. This year the boys ' cheerleading squad com- bined their deep bass with the girls ' voices and really rooted our teams to victory. Yelling for S. H. S. we had Eleanor Bates, Don Hattin, Bet- ty Ann Shaw, and Danny uhr from the senior class. The most successful social function of the ear was, of course, the senior dance held on No- vember 9 with everyone swinging and swaying to the downbeat of Bob Ferris ' orchestra. In concluding our high school annals, we mention the fact that we could well be called the war-class. The heavy shadow of war made its darkened appearance in many phases during our high school years, but. we, like all the school children of America, have stood by. serving as best as we knew how on the homefront. waiting and praying for our fathers. ' brothers. and sweethearts ' safe return. And now that we are read to go out and face the ups and downs of life, let us hope that we ma) have the same stead- fast spirit to meet the problems of future )ears.
