The time covers 'that period between autumn ltlll and summer I9-11. llhe place is the ivy-covered building, Edward F. Scarles High School. In the fall of 19-1-l. Director Carleton Skillings announced that the com- pany would be taking on amateurs. In September, at the stage doors there gathered from the near and far corners of Methuen many anxious, stage- struck youths. All were bewildered by the tasks before them, and all had heard of the pleasures accompanying the rehearsals of each production. At our first meeting, we voted that Excelsior would be the motto of the cast. Our choice showed ambition, for Excelsior means Onward and Upward. Leon Bassett and Shirley Davis, as president and vice-president, became our leading man and lady. Barbara Thwaites and Thurley Fitz- gerald undertook the supporting roles ot secretary and treasurer respect- ively. As representatives to the Actors' council we elected Lester Green- wood and .lack Andonian. XVhile the sophomore roles were being re- hearsed, the senior actors and actresses gave a reception at which the am- ateurs were guests of honor. The excitement of this social event created sophomore dreams of the days when we, as seniors, would welcome the newcomers to the stage. Rehearsals were resumed, and at the end of the year, the seniors left the company. In the fall of 1945, the rehearsals of our play, The Rising Generation, were again underway. These junior actors were very proud, and 0I'g2lll- ized for the year with Leon and Shirley in the leading roles. Barbara Thwaites continued as secretary, Donald Crabtree became treasurer. Our representatives to the actors' council for this year were Lester Greenwood, Polly Marchand, and Edward Blaine. After the Christmas holidays, we chose a black onyx ring which symbolized our company and soon won the praise of all. Work continued, but the pleasures we had while learning our parts will always remain in our memories. Toward the end of the sec- ond year, one of the members of the cast, Bernice Scott, was awarded a very high honor. The XVashington-Franklin medal, for excellence in American history, was presented to her by Miss Southworth at a general assembly. Returning again to our rehearsals in the autumn of 19-16, we, as seniors, realized that this was our last chance to prepare for the J une performance, known as graduation. Being well pleased with the way that they had served the class as president and vice-president, we again chose Leon and Shirley. Barbara continued in the essential supporting role of secretary 52 -19-17,-Y g g ylidward F. Searles High School while Edward lilaine became treasurer. Lester Greenwood, Norma NVil- son, Catherine XVinn, and Kenneth XYilman were chosen as our represen- tatives to the actors' council. Remembering the vow we had made when we were amateurs, we planned for the sophomore reception which proved to be an enjoyable social event. A few months later, a group of talented cast melnbers entertained the rest of the company and their friends by putting on the play, A Case of Springtime. Another pleasure, which came a few weeks later, was the senior party. Our rehearsals were con- tinued under the careful leadership of our capable directors. A few cast members, having been supervised by the art director, Mr. Joseph Melia, entered the Greater Lawrence poster contst. All were proud that tirst, third, and fourth prizes were won by members of our senior group: Barbara Fitzgerald, Norma XVilson, and Laurel Sykes. Soon the invitations were out for the Military Ball. In the colorfully decorated Central School hall, one March evening, the boys in their snappy uniforms featured a competitive drill. Dancing followed this exhibition, and the hall was tilled with gayety. A few weeks later, a group of the girls under the leadership of the girls' athletic director, Miss Dorothy Chadwick, pro- duced a very much admired demonstration. The roller-skating act, the tap and modern dance routines, and the square dancing sets were the highlights of this entertainment. The girls participating in these various performances worked almost continuously with numerous practice peri- ods in addition to their regular studies. Other activities brought recognition also. llonors were bestowed on XVilliam Chadwick by the Solis of the American Revolution, and Hazel Uttley was honored by the Daughters of the American Revolution for good citizenship during their three years with the company. At a general as- sembly held late in April, Betty Hogarth and Ruth Mann, because of their high ranks, were named as Valedictorian and Salutatorian. In June, our last party, which we called the Senior Prom, was a gala affair. The boys in their smart tuxedos and the girls in their colorful gowns enjoyed an evening of dancing. Our rehearsals end, the play is ready for production. XVe, the cast of The Rising Generation, having been guided expertly for three years, are sure that with the faith of our directors and friends su J Jortinff us, we can- ' ' Y ' S V 79 5 not fall. XX e will go ' Onward and Upward. -Hazel Uttley 5 3 Edwarcff. Searles High School 1947 Ciffafm 79Jw4Q!waq SCENE I Catherine: Dave Huston, what a coincidence meeting you in France! Are you getting a new coiffure by Margaret Derstephanian and Barbara Fawcett at Mlle. Boisjoly's Fashion Shoppe, or did you come to take Nancy Thomas and Ceila Enright, her fashion designers, to lunch at P1itter's 6'Ye Old Tea Kettle '. ' . Dave: No new coiffure for me today, Catherine. l'm on more impor- tant business. Through the endless efforts of Selectmen Leon Bassett, Carl NVoekel, and Melvin Dorsey in Methuen, our new high school de- signed by Edward Johnson and Donald Coelho was completed, and I was sent to get you, so that together we could assemble all our classmates for tl1e first reunion in the new high school. Catherins: I I'6lll0I1llJCI' reading in Le Bleu at Blanc, a French news- paper translated into English by Ann Caspar, that contractors Lombardi and MacLeod had trouble when Gardner Ladd and Donald Hinds went on strike. They demanded longer working hours. In Nancy Galloway's column, Just XVait and See, she prophecied that there would be a re- L1ll.lUl1 soon. She is usually right. Dave: Admirals Orlando and Zytkewicz loaned us a French Corvette converted into a yacht by Hajjar, Hartung, Higgins, and Haigh Corpora- tion for transportation. Their corporation is doing a flourishing business. Each member has two secretaries fone for each kneel Eddie can't seem to make up his mind if he prefers Gladys or Susan Holland for his private secretary, and Bobby is quite confused between Marion Haj jar and Helen Morency. Catherine: Are we stopping at Bamford Downs o11 our way home? Marion Lippold is the head horse-trainer there. She is assisted by George Saba and George Kacin. Johnny Mushow and Frank Keyes are the lead- ing jockeys. Dave: XVe'll stop there, but our first stay will be at Aram Bogosian's famous stamp shop. His book-keepers are Alice Lutz and Barbara Roth and his secretary is Lillian Saab. In order to attract more trade Aram has Eleanor Colpitts, Mary Bartolotta, and Mary Fisichella for clerks. Catherine: Then we must stop at Craven's Vanities where Bobby Boynes is the dancing teacher for the noted 56Al0IIl1CS,,, namely Pauline Marchand, Barbara Ravgiala, Dorothy Peary ami .lanice Roby. Oh! and it wouldlnever do to leave .lerry Mastorakis and Frances Maloof behind. They are starring in the film, The Perfect Lover. They would never forgive us. 54 19-17 Edward F. Searles High School Dave: XVell, Catherine, let's go to the dock and board ship. xVllCl'l we arrive in the United States, we will go directly to the reunion of the class of '-I7 in the new high school. SCENE Il Catherine: Here we are home again. No wonder that Methuen is XVorld-renowned with this magnificent Merrill Highway. XVilly certainly must have received co-operation from his engineers David Smith, Arthur Slack, and Philip Morency. I imagine that he kept his trucks and equip- ment in A-l condition at XVilman's Service Station where Charlie Bedard, Reginald Diodati, and George Hobbs are the mechanics. Dave: Yes, and Merrill's Highway is policed under the careful vigi- lance of Andrew Morse, Richard lloehn, Frank YVorthy, and Arthur Vog- ler, The Fearless Four. Catherine: Look, the factory over there with the name Shoulders in neon lights is owned and operated hy Schubert and Devaney. They spe- cialize in making shoulders to fit any man's woman's, or child's desire. Dave: Bill had a little trouble the other day when his clerks Gertrude Lister, Ann XVard, Pauline Gagnon, and Valerie French had an argument with Joyce Brown, his private secretary, over the policy that the customer is always 1'ight. Catherine: I heard that XVid had quite a problem when it came to selecting a model for his startling discovery, the baloon shoulder pad. Crabtree's Model Agency sent up Rita Burke, Barbara Hurrell, Jane Bartley, and Phyllis Ott. XVid was so undecided as to which he pre- ferred that he kept all of them. Donald is doing all right for himself. He has Rita lppolito and Doris Mack for secretaries. Dave: See that store with the diamonds and rubies in the window dis- play. Betty Duemmling and Rita Hanna are the proprietors. They started from scratch, and now they have a thriving business for themselves. They have two secretaries, Yvonne Staelens and Barbara Stevens, and a filer, Gloria Daigle. Their competent clerks are Hazel Nicholson and Irma Rock. Betty Child and Theresa Zieba do the beautiful window displays. Catherine: XVhy, there's Solomon's, the shop of the singing barber. l surmise that such political-minded persons as John Sapienza, Joseph Feather, Jack Andonian, and Fred Smith meet there to discuss Town, State, Federal, and International problems. SCENE III Dave: See the magnificent landscape of the new high school! The custodians, Raymond H unniford and Kenneth Keamy take excellent care of the grounds. Everyone must be here now, for there's .lake Keefe, pres- ident of the Pepsi-Cola Company, with his two assistants, Robert Ryan 55 Edward F. Searles High School 1947 and Robert Slater. They always were the last ones to arrive anywhere. I guess thcy'll never change, even with Edith Rotondo, Faith Potter, and Arlene Koza, their secretaries, bustling them about. Catherine: lt's no wonder that everyone showed up. Despo Chatis and her all-girl orchestra will furnish the music for dancing. Despo has Doris Eyers on trumpet, Barbara Thwaites and Norma XVilson at the twin pianos, Ruth Iienyon on guitar, and Patricia Quinn and Bernice XVilson in the string section. Claire Corey and .loan Assaf are her vocalists. Dave: eAn excellent entertainment has also been arranged. For the benefit of the men, Stephen Raynowska and Nick Aznoian are staging a boxing match, and George Haykal and Gerald Nazarian are showing their skill at weight lifting. Irving Lowe, our own '6Methuen Tibbett, is sing- ing a solo. John Donigan and Rosalie DeBurra, better known as Rex, the Singing Cowgirl, are playing their guitars. The highlights of the show are Theresa Dowd and Anna Giragosian doing their roller-skating specialty. Catherine: NVhy look! There's Bobby Harris! I understand that he's a clergyman now and has his own parish with Kenneth Gammons and Albert Graham as his curates. Dave: There's Arthur DelDuca. He's a pitcller for the Red Sox. By the way, have you heard that Michael Bedrosian is teaching child psy- chology? Catherine: A la Mr. Hanigan? Elliott Cooke, are coal and oil magnate, is here tonight with his three secretaries, Carolyn Small, Kathleen Hayes, and Rita Fortin. They all came in Sam Patti's taxi. Dave: I saw Ann Andonian, the dietician, in the cafeteria, and she was telling me that the milkmen are Al Rotondo and Gussy Moynlhan. Donald Lambert is the egg-man and Arthur is the butcher. Catherine: I just saw Pauline Balezentes and she informed me that she and Lester Greenwood had established their own mortuary. They are very ably assisted by Shirley Davis and Faye MacDonald. Dave: That reminds me. The staff from the hospital just stopped in on their relief hour. Doctors Harold Allen, Edward Blaine, and Richard Heidenreich were saying that they purchase all their medical supplies either from Dianne Speed, the chemist, or Thomas Holroyd, the druggist. The nurses, Ruth Mann, Lorraine Lowell, Madeleine Robillard and Shirley Briggs were praising Barbara Fitzgerald and Laurel Sykes for painting the murals in the children's ward. The medical secretaries at the hospital are Lois Laurie and Sally Cole. Catherinez, Virginia Doerr is the receptionist at the hospital. She said that Vivian Ganeni and Barbara Gray are very generous with their flower donations from their greenhouse where Lewis Partington is a gardener. 56 1917 - Edward F. SearlesAHigh School Dave: Betty Hogarth, the dean of girls in our new high school, just handed ine a list of the faculty. Robert McCracken is an English teacher, and Joyce Johnson and llazel Uttley are the athletic directors for the girls. Hilda XVilson is the secretary for this wonderful school. Catherine: And did you notice that Bernice Scott is teaching the first grade, Connie Langille, the second, and lirna ' May, the third in the ele- mentary grades of the building nearby? Dave: VVhy there's Vincent Rafferty, president of the bank! His sec- retary is Claire Shirton. The tellers are Hose Macaione, Helen Morency, and Angie Mauceri. 'l'hey're leaving now. I wonder where they're going. Catherine: lJon't you know that we all have reservations at Eddie Maciariello's Rendezvous, after the reunion ? Billy Chadwick and his celebrated Golden Tones are playing there. I certainly wouldn't want to miss hearing that golden trumpet of l5illy's for anything. So let's go now, too! Catherine NVinn David Huston 57 Edward F. Searles High School 1947 911.9 Ulmfllo-n HE dav of December 7, 1011 brought a CONV'lI'IllV, sneak attack by lapancsc aircraft on the L nlted St ites Nay ll Base at Pearl Harbor - ' ' 9 Q L ., f J' I I I I I - ' T I T 4 ', I YI t 1 5,515 in the Hawaiian Islands. On the following day, December 8. the Umted States formally Joined the Allied Nations in the fight against tyranny. These Allied Nations banded together with one common pur- pose in mind, and successfully rejected the encroachment of fundamental human rights by the despotic Axis powers. Ever since Pearl Harbor, the hopes and thoughts of the people of this country have been centered increasingly upon creating at last a world organization which would be endowed with the power and the will this time truly to maintain the peace. The United Nations Conference on International Organization met in San Francisco on April 25, 1915. At that time the war in Europe had lasted for more than five yearsg the war in the Pacific, for more than threeg the war in China, for almost eight. The United States alone suffered cas- ualties of a million meng some dead, some wounded, others captured or missing. ln the Hrst XVorld XVar, the cost in destruction was less only than that of the more recent conflict. The Conference of the United Nations was called to prevent a third recurrence of a great disaster. It had one purpose and one purpose only: to draft the charter of an international organiza- tion through which the nations of the world might work together in their common hope for peace. At this conference, Edward R. Stettinius Jr., chairman of the United States delegation, forcibly stated, If we are earnestly determined, as I believe we are, that the innumerable dead of two great holocausts shall not have died in vain, we must act in concert with the other nations of the world to bring about the peace for which these dead gave up their lives. Unity of strength and purpose is basically essential to the success of the United Nations. The people of the world. in order to revive their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person. and in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, must tolerantly work together in the concentrated effort to accomplish this aim. A living example of successfully working together is offered by the staunch ivy vine. Tiny tendrils work together to keep the individual ivy plants clinging to the wall and each small plant does its share to sustain the whole vine. 58 T947 Edward F. Searles High School In a similar way, many of the nations of the world have united for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an everlasting peace. XVith the never-failing help of Almighty God, the people of the world will ultimate- ly attain this goal. Our Father, God, from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand, NVQ meet today, united. free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era done And trust Thee for the coming one. --XVilliam J.

A carnation was given to every sophomore girl and a lollypop was given to each sophomore boy during the Grand March. Rc- freshments and dancing were enjoyed by all. SENIOR PLAYF- December 7 was the night the seniors presented their annual Class Play at the Central School Hall, which was crowded to ca- ' Y ' ' . ' , 66 ' ' S99 pacity. NX e will never forget the startling performance of Dickie and gg 1 99 Gwen. -. THE SENIOR PARTYee A good time was in store for all who went to J the Senior l arty. An excellent entertainment was furnished and all who attended will vouch for its being a great success. MILITARY BAI.Ife- On March ll, the event of the year, the Military Ball, was held with music furnished by Tony l5rown's orchestra. The Cadets in uniform and the girls in their lovely gowns, made the Grand March a colorful picture and was the highlight of the evening. Congrat- ulations are given to the Cadets for the fine showing they made as they exhibited their military drills. GIRLS' A.A. EXHIl3ITlON-- The athletic demonstration was once again presented by the girls on April 25th under the direction of Miss Dorothy Chadwick, girls, physical education instructor. The highlights of the evening were roller-skating and other costumed performances. The danc- ing that followed made it an enjoyable evening for all. RAND CONCERT AND DANCE-M Our excellent Band presented its ninth annual Rand Concert and Dance on May 16, 1947. The Methuen High School boys and girls are proud to have as fine a director as Mr. Hal McDonnell. SENIOR PROM- As the close of our last year arrived, we held the cus- tomary Senior Prom. The colorfully decorated Central School Hall was filled with the excitement of this event even though all knew that it was our last school affair. 60 Activities Edward F.
