12 WHAT WILL S. H. S. DO WITHOUT THEM? Artie Dunphy, ' 51 Come June, one of the finest classes in the his- tory of the school will pass through its portals for the last time as students of the institution. Although some of the class may return for oc- casional visits, the school on the whole will have to do without many of its outstanding figures. Can you imagine what the U. S. history classes will be without great orators like Jimmy Milroy and Dick Levangie? The woman ' s cause in his- tory will also get a setback when they lose the great woman suffrage leader. Susan B. Anderson, better known to students of history as Susan B. Anthony. Football teams will suffer when they lose their all-star players in Dick Johnson, Captain Elliott Barrett, Scottv Roberts and Eugene Cohen. The magic toe of Charlie Mitchell will be missed greatly when he receives his diploma in June. And loss of the spirited cheerleaders, Sheila Brigham, Mary Jane Stewart, Jeri Gleason, Ellen O ' Neil, and Mary Lou Brow, the school will never survive! French classes will miss the three top French II students, Ricardo Preston, Francois Cerilli and Arturo Dunphy. There is a possibility that the parking space might be a little safer without hot rodders like Joe Fitzsimmons, Glenn Wilder. Harold Mc- Avenia and Eugene Cohen; but then of course the antiques belonging to Dick Brebner and Dick Vines might be missed. The shop will be without Bob Frazer. Ted Dwyer, Jack Stark, and Don Ford. These men have set fine records for themselves as great wood butchers. With graduation the author of the Egypt Enterprise may graduate. To this day no one knows who the author is: but study halls will be dull if the author does graduate. Basketball will lose heavily as will football and baseball. The graduating girls on the squad this year were Glea Cole, Marion Damon. Jean Carl- son, Mary Fisher, Mary Jane Stewart, and Susan Anderson, while the boys lose Bruce Wyman. Joe Cerilli, Artie Dunphy. Dick Brebner. Dick Johnson, Eugene Cohen, and manager Bob Morrow. Sessions may never flow so plentifully as they did in ' 51 without Muriel Nichols as the friendly librarian in study hall. The Senior parties, held by Andy Nitzsche and Pat Forlman will indeed be missed. Assemblies may never be the same without Bob Burbank and his know-how with the motion picture machine, and who will be around to take pictures of the current events when Burb grad- uates?? Speaking of assemblies, what will the school do without their pianists, Lois Jose Iturbi Merritt, and Sheila Brigham? Gym classes will quiet down a bit without J. P. Morgan Virtue and his crazy hook shots and without the battering ram, Scott Roberts. If you add up the names of the Scituate greats that will leave in June, many of them to continue their education in institutions of higher learning, others to see service in Uncle Sam ' s service, can you possibly foresee how Scituate High will get along without them?? REMEMBER WHEN? We first came to S. H. S. ? We first tackled Caesar? Our first class meeting was held? We experimented in French? Some of our fellows made the All-Star Team? The Junior Proms were held at the Country Club? Our glamorous girls dressed as hobos in the Minstrel Show? The Egypt Enterprise came out? We had our class pictures taken? Scituate won the Thanksgiving game the mud? The auditorium was decorated in green for the S. A. Dance? There was no school one day in Sept. due to a storm? Andy had open house ? Pat and Polly had their parties? We laughed through Clementine ? Karl Virtue identified a drawing in assembly? We crammed for history tests? Jimmy made a speech we were all proud of? We stayed for those play rehearsals? We were in second-period math class? We danced at our last junior prom? We heaved sighs over our I N contest? Some of us went to the Cape with Susie? We were chased hv underclassmen for auto- graphs? The Chimes came out? We graduated?

11 SENIOR CLASS NEWS (Cont d) altliiu- (Jlcason, Mary Jane Stewarl, (lliarlcs Milclicll, and Dick Vines. The Class of ' 51 also played an important part in the athletic program of S. H. S. the past year. Many senior boys were members of tlie Soiiili Shore Championship team. These were Elliott Barrett, Scott Roberts. Charles Mitcliell. Joe Cerilli, Eugene Cohen, George Bearce, Dick Brehner, Diek Johnson. James Milroy, and Bruce Wyman. We are also proud to relate that four seniors. Eugene Cohen, Ellioll Barrett, Dick Johnson, and Scott Roberts, were members of the South Shore All-Star Team. The girls ' hockey team also did quite well last season, tying for championship honors. Maybe its successful season was due to the efforts of Marion Damon, Jeanne Dwyer, Mary Lou Brow, Jane Flaherty, Jean Carlson, Mary Jane Stewart, Sheila Brigham, Susan Anderson, and Ellen O ' Neil, manager, the senior squad members. The boys ' basketball team will have some difficulty replacing the abilities of Dick Brebner, Arthur Dunphy, Bruce Wyman, Dick Johnson, Joe Cerilli, and Eugene Cohen. Manager Robert Morrow and assistant manager Charles Mitchell will also have to be replaced. The girls ' basketball team will miss the senior squad mem- bers, Mary Jane Stewart, Jean Carlson, Susan Anderson, Glea Cole, Marlene Lopes, Fannie Whorf, and Marion Damon. The talents of the Senior Class once again showed up in the spring sports, baseball, tennis, and softball, with many veteran stars returning to play their last high school games. During the football and basketball season the senior clieerleaders, Gerry Gleason, Mary Lou Brow, Sheila Brigham, Ellen O ' Neil and Mary Jane Stewart, led the cheers with much pep and spirit. Also deserving of mention are the members of the band and orchestra which have not only entertained us many times but also inspired us at rallies and football games. The senior members of the band were John Davis, Fannie Whorf. and Dick Levangie. Fannie Whorf, Dick Levangie and Lois Merritt were members of the orchestra. And don ' t forget Polly Hunter and Nancy Dwight, our drum majorettes. We are proud of the students of our class who re- ceived individual awards this year, thus bringing more honor and fame to our illustrious class. Mary Jane Stewart received the D. A. R. good citizenship award; John Davis and Fannie Whorf, the good sportsmanship awards given by the Key Club during Blue and White Week; James Milroy, the Bausch-Lomh Science Award, for being an outstanding science student. Eugene Cohen was elected to represent our district in the State House on Good Government Day, and James Milroy received more fame by representing S. H. S. in the American Legion Oratorical Contest willi his excellent speech, The Defense of Our Constitution. Ann Nitzsche ' s S. H. S. N( ws, appearing weekly in the Scituate Herald, hclpi d lo keep our parents, as well as the stu- (h ' lits. informed of school activities. The All-School production, Blue and White Min- strels gave many seniors the chance to sliow off their hidden talents. Those taking part as end men or in specialty acts were Arthur Dunphy, Glenn Wilder, Robert Burhank, John Davis, Ellen O ' Neil, Mary Lou Brow, .Sheila Brigham, Mary Fisher, Gerry Gleason, Polly Hunter, Lois Merritt, Ann Nitzsche, Mary Jane -Stewart, Pat Fori man, Elliott Barrett, .Susan Anderson, and the girl who often saved tlie show, Jane Flaherty, prompter. Hollywood and Broadway, here they come, — the sen- sational actors and actresses of the sensational senior class play, Clementine. Fannie Whorf expertly car- ried out the lead and was ably supported by an all-star cast of Muriel Nichols, Mary Jane Stewart, Ellen O ' Neil, Pauline Hunter, Sheila Brigham, Susan Anderson, Bruce Wyman, Joseph Cerilli, Dick Brebner, Robert Burbank, Glenn Wilder, anfl Scott Roberts. Jane Flaherty and Virginia Cole were prompters, and many other members of the class also deserve credit for their work on scenery, programs, or posters. The Librarians are often forgotten when it comes to recognition, but Polly Hunter, president; Sheila Brig- liam, secretary; Susan Anderson, Virginia Cole, Muriel Nichols, Ellen O ' Neil, and Mary Jane Stewart of the Librarians ' Association helped keep the library in order and hand out an occasional session for overdue books. And last but not least are the seniors who helped make the Chimes and Scitiialion possible: Lois Merritt, our very capable editor; Muriel Nichols and Susan Ander- son, assistant editors; Jane Flaherty, alumni editor; and Arthur Dunphy, boys ' sports editor. The business staff was expertly managed by Harold McAvenia, Ellen O ' Neil, Robert Burbank, Virginia Cole, Pauline Hunter, all of whom worked efficiently in this department for three years. Mary Lou Brow, Marlene Lopes, and Ger- aldine Veiga generously contributed their time and skill in typing both publications. In addition to all these previously-mentioned activi- ties there are many other things that we shall long re- member, — the food sales, the athletic banquet, the rallies. Blue and White Week, the dances, the Pro Merito Induction, parties, plans for class day, our class banquet and graduation, our teachers, and countless otiier associations. We sliall soon be leaving our school, but with us will go our memories, — pleasant memories of the school that has provided us with a key to good living as well as a background of knowledge.
