Searles High School 1 948 CLASS HISTORY Y the fall of 1915 when we entered this high school. the Second QU, XVorld XVar had ended. Less than a month before school opened the Japanese had submitted to unconditional surrender. Thev and the rest of the world were appalled at the devastating possibilities of the atom bomb which had been used against them in the final attack. At last. after four years of bitter warfare most of our boys came home. Those that did not had paid for our chance of brighter toniorrows. At school, life went according to a daily routine to which gradually we became accustomed. llefore long we held the fall election, our first class activity. XVhen the votes had been counted. Leo Lutz was our class presidentg Vincent Pizzano. vice-president: Marilyn llartwell. secretarvg and Catherine Cole. treasurer. Donald Lee and Mary Owen were our student council members. Later in the fall came the Sophomore lleceplion. XYc. very humble sophomores. were received otlicially by the most honorable seniors. Thev condescended to take part even in the entertaimnent. llretreslnnents were served and general dancing was enjoyed to the music of Sydney Smith's Serenaders. Academically our struggles with Latin and .Xlgebra were the mem- orable events of the winter season. ln the spring social activities took our attention as we served on various committees in preparation for our class party. .Xfter considerable work the hall was decorated. refreshments and music for dancing were ready and the evening for the Sophormore Party had arrived. XYe had the best entertainment and the most delicious re- freshmentsg we danced to the music ot' the best bands on record. Of course, everybody had a successful evening. Soon the sulmner vacation followed. Then fall came and we were juniors. As juniors we saw something about which we had heard. but which we had not experienced: a new party came into power. XYe elected a new class president. Russell Yose was our choice. llerbert llartwell became vice-president: Marilyn llartwell. secretary: Catherine Cole. treas- urer. Mary Owen. Donald Lee and .lames Yokley served on the student council as our representatives. Following the election came the .lunior l'arty. In the Central School hall we met to enjoy an entertaimnent. refreshments. and good dance music provided by Tommy Sousa and his orchestra. Several weeks later. class rings were presented for our consideration and eventually we chose one of solid gold. Un the front it has a castle symbolizing the high school. Also. it has the name of the school and the year of our graduation. XYith these shiny new rings on our lingers. we became the envy of the lowly sophomores who had not yet chosen their rings. 44 1948 Edward F. searies High School Near the close of our junior year we were called out on the lawn. At this assembly Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, for excellency in American history, was awarded the NVashington and Franklin medal given by the Massachu- setts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Mary Owen Ellld XVilliam Schenk received honorable mention and were awarded history books. Thus ended our junior year. Last fall when we returned, the school seemed empty. There was something missing, it was the seniors, but we had taken their places. The halls seemed to be overrun with green sophomores. Everywhere there were new faces, but we would soon become familiar with these children and give them a reception. First, however, we held our class election. Russell Vose was re- elected president, Herbert Hartwell, vice-president, Marilyn Hartwell, secretary, and Catherine Cole, treasurer. For the student council we picked Donald Lee, Janet Leslie, Elaine Nader, and Mary Owen. Then came try-outs for the senior play. From a large group a cast was chosen. Rehearsals got u11der way, the scenery was put into shape, and arrangements were made for pupils to bring ill candy to be sold the night of the play. On that evening the cast, who had been coached by Miss Moira Higgins, gave a fine performance. YVe Shook the Family Tree co-starred daring Don Smith as Freddie and Janet Leslie as t'Hil- degardef' They were supported by an all-star cast. There was one cas- ualty, but thanks to penicillin, Dave Baker, our able curtain technician, completely recovered from the case of pneumonia which he had con- tracted the night of the play. Near the first of the year we held our senior party at the Central School hall. From a wide variety of talented students we chose our en- tertainers, who put on a fine show, following which we had refreshments. Music for dancing was played by the t'Best Bands in the Land. On January 30 we were all sorry to hear that Mr. John D. Byrne, one of our favorite teachers, had passed away. Besides being one of the most patient math teachers, the boys found him to be a fine track coach. Their records speak for his able coaching. In February we put on a magazine drive to defray the cost of the year book. The excellent job which the seniors before us had done Inade it difficult for us to coax our parents to subscribe to a magazine five or ten years hence, however, if you have noticed a tired, worn look on your postn1an's face, it may be the result of carrying extra magazines to our new subscribers. One night in March, after weeks of incessant drilling, the Cadet Corps gave its forty-second annual ball. The featured prize drill was won by Company C, little Ronnano contrilauting a great deal to the show. After the medals were awarded to the winning cadets, Major Jason Leb- owitz led the grand march with his beautiful partner, Estelle Nager. Then 45 Edward F. Searles High School 1 948 the line broke out into a waltz. Tony l3rown's orchestra played all tl1e music. Near the end of each year the Samuel Adams Chapter of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and the Brigadier General Frye Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution award medals for good citizen- ship to the girl and the boy chosen hy tl1e faculty according to the pro- visions of the award. In our sophomre year the medals were given to Betty-Jeanne Yorshis and Leo Lutz. In our junior year Catherine Cole and Leo Lutz received these awards. These medals went to the same pupils in their senior year. Last Friday night we held the final social function of our high school careers, the Prom. The girls were dressed in formal gowns and their es- corts Wore tuxedos. Almost everyone attended this grand affair. Roland P1ussell's orchestra played the music for dancing. NVith graduation our high school days come to an end and we enter life with Deeds not XVords as our motto. -Michael llaykal l E 46 1948 Edward F. Searles High School CLASS PROPHECY FLASH-Class of 48,' Holds Gala. Reunion at New Memorial Gym. The tenth reunion of the class of 1948 was held last evening in the new Methuen Memorial Gym built by James Naylor a11d VVilliam Schenk. One hundred and thirty one alumni turned out for the gala festivities. Governor Donald Lee opened the program by kissing Methuen's favorite pin-up girl, Marilyn Hartwell. The town's leading photographers, Arthur Barraclough and Eddie XVilczynski, were on hand to take exclusive pic- tures which appear above this article. At this time your roving reporters, Tommy Enright and Mary Owen went busily to work interviewing the alumni. A Al Roby, president of the Bango Bubble Gum Co. whose slogan is G'Does it stick '?-Does it stretch 'K-Does it snap 'K-It DOES-It's Bango! arrived with two of his secretaries, Marilyn Herbert and Virginia Shripsa. Al insists on two secretaries. One for each knee. Accompanying Al were his two supersaleswomen, Jake Graham and Mary Janetti, who have promised to show Kenny Ramskill's football team and Eddie Quinlan's track team how to blow bubbles in their opponents' faces. Looking about the vast auditorium we spied Methuenis own Louella Parsons, Joyce Polland, and joined her in interviewing Stretch Nagle and Curly Thomson, who are now very successful professional basketball players. The interview was cut short when a group of adoring basketball fans led by XVinnie XVrigley, Phyllis Voter, and Barbara DeGaspe be- seiged Stretch and Curly for their autographs. NVe sincerely hope the boys were able to survive this battle. Charles Jacobs and Frank Haigh, those two pilots who broke the record for the trip around the world were interviewed with Gerald Haw- thornthwaite and Victor Mailloux, co-owners of the new television com- pany in Methuen square. In one corner of the gym James XVeeks and XVilliam Rushforth, those two scientists who are working on the improve- ment of the Atomic Bomb, were talking to radio commentator, Richard Asquith. NVQ hope these scientists use their discoveries to good ad- vantage. President of the Methuen National Bank, David Baker, and Ruben Ehramjian, his private business accountant, were there with Raymond Busta and Thomas McCarron, salesman for Robert l3ennett's and XVil- liam Jurek's new frozen foods company. June DelSelva Arleen Farrow and Stella DeRoche. those lovely sales- girls at Shirley Richardson's and Helen Saba's hosiery shop were there with those well known bathing beauties, Beverly Dennis and Barbara Forster. Paul Starta and Mitchell Sevajian, owners of the new car manufac- turing company were also there. Their company should be a huge success. 47 Edward F. Searles High School 1 948 Moving to our right we noticed NYarren Lumh and Leo Lutz, invent- ors ot a rocket to the moon, trying to persuade Pete Pizzano and Bobby Cooke to make the test flight. In the center of the gym were Lorraine llemers, Theresa Derstephan- ian and Doris Eherhardt, secretaries at Sam DiG1oria's shoe firm, and Civil Service workers, Enid Lichtman and Yvonne Hajjar. Right across from this new gym is Bohert Sheehan's and Donald Bedard's lee Cream Castle. Before the reunion. dress designers Alice Riley and Catherine tiumh were enjoying lianana splits prepared by Mary Fluet and Anna NVurzhacher, those two pretty waitresses. NVe were pleasantly surprised to meet that eminent physician Michael Zinno and his stall' of ellicient nurses. Ilorothy Chute. .loan Perrault. Rita Carnevale, and Anne tiirgenti.

Also. vocalist Eleanor Bemhis contrihuted to the success ol' the program. In Yuki's skit Ignorance ls Bliss Catherine Cole and Betty-.leanne Yorshis, two social workers. were tied for lirst place. Badio executives Tommy Sitlerlen and Ethel Martin wert extremely pleased with the pro- gram. After the broadcast the reunion continued with all its gaiety. In the rear of the gym were Eugene tiross and .limmy Yokley. hasehall and haskethall coaches ot' Methuen lligh. In the interview. they hoth pre- dicted two more undefeated seasons. Those two pianists. Stephen llehl and Dominic Yiglione. who are the lnain attractions at Norman 'l'urmel's and .Xllan Smith's night cluh were interviewed along with Barhara Clark aint Betty llitchmoth. waitresses at Yolanda Netti's and Ruth l'ark's new restaurant. Our two gym instructors Elaine and Mildred Zenker were talking over plans for their coming demonstration with dress designers Evelyn Sterndale, Joan Child and .loan Townsend. 48 1918 Edward F. Searles High School Socialite Cynthia Hyder and lovely models Norma Richards, May Ristany and Mitzi Messina were chatting with trumpeters XVilliam Man- dycz and Ronald Robichaud. Robert Mastin, owner of that new Holly- wood theatre and his two pretty cashiers, Betty Yemma and Gloria Russo, were also at this reunion. Bolfs leading man, Donald Smith, and his leading lady, Lydia Robichaud were also interviewed. YVe noticed Dick Nolet and Gilbert Tallmadge telling fish stories to Gi11a Peate, Geraldine Pica, and Philomena Simone, who work at Edwin Trauh's and Gerald XVinthrop's Strictly Stinkers Flower Shop. Dick was calmly stating that one of his basses was as tall as pretty secretaries Elsie Vogler and Theresa NVhite put together. The reunion was a gay affair and a good tllllC was had hy all the alumni. Mary Owen Thomas Enright 49 Edward F. Searles High School 1 948 IVY ORATION SSEMBI ED here for thc customary class day exercises we the 26:31 class of 1918, are preparing to leave high sch-ool days behind and go forth to our individual destinies. The time has arrived for the traditional planting of the ivy, which symbolizes trustworthiness and the spirit of friendship. Let us, as in the future we encounter our respective responsibilities, strive to be friendly and worthy of trust. A shoot of ivy grows steadfastly. climbing step by step the long way to the top. As the ivy thrives, its tendrils reach out and the suction discs atlix themselves to the nearest stones and crevices. Using the obstructions which mark its trail, the ivy flourishes. ascending higher and higher. llave we, too, used our stumbling blocks to aid is building our future. or do we become dejected when all fails to go as we have planned? Do we surmount disheartening barriers which impede our course to emerge with a more maturely developed character. and a perseverance to cope with whatever may come our way? XYe must not become sullen. as a spoiled child does, when our endeavors failg but we must push staunchly onward, exerting all our power to triumph over the discouragements which befall us. Thus do we prove ourselves worthy of trustg and if we do not yield to what appears to be the inevitable. we can. like the ivy. use the very obstructions which hinder our progress to arrive at the height of our ambitions. The road to success is not one to be tread thoughtlesslyg only through diligence and fortitude can we gain our desired ends. But what does it mean to be successful? Some say that a large bank account denotes suc- cessg others believe that it is indicated by high social status. Neither of these two factors is necessarily characteristic of successg for in defining the word to its true depth. we find that to be successful means that we are content with our lives, and feel well recompensed for the way in which we have constructed them. Not all of us are destined to be great states- men, distinguished professional men or women. not other celebrities. The ivy has not the majesty of a rose. nor the ethereal delicacy of an orchidg but its success lies in its simple sturdiness. and in the way in which its classic beauty of form and its coloring harmonize with its environment. Our success also may lie in the harmony with which we adapt ourselves to our surroundings. and in the manner in which we meet the obligations of friendship. Our aspirations can be attained much more effectively if we are considerate of others. have a pleasing personality and cheerful countenance, and are willing to do our share in whatever may arise. Peo- ple wllo are self-centered and concerned only with their own welfare seldom achieve the satisfaction of true success. They are too much ab- 50 1948 Edward F. Searles High School sorbed in themselves and enveloped in their own troubles-too greedy for materialistic advancement to enjoy what they have already procured and to be conscious of tl1e wonder and charm of the world about them. Let us, as we look ahead to the uncertain future, obtain the full measure of success. Upon our graduation from high school we will not be remaining sta- tionary. XVllCilICI' the next step will be a continuance of education or the seeking of a position is left for us to decide. Everything and everyone must go forward, there is no turning back. XVe have been like young shoots of ivy4planted in the good soil of sound educational principles, and carefully nurtured so that we now have a strong foundation lllJ0l1 which to build. Our schooling has been a preliminary training to prepare us for what lies ahead, and we ought to be thankful for the advantages it affords. Let us, therefore, using the ivy as a pattern, cling to our firm founda- tions, grasp each new opportunity determinedly, and, undaunted, grow upward to loftier heightsgnew and greater ideals. -Barbara Forster 5 I Edward F. Searles High School 1948 SOCIAL EVENTS SOPHOMORE RECEPTION- The first social event of the year was the Sophomore Reception, at which the seniors welcomed the sophomores to M.H.S. Dancing and entertainment featured the program. SENIOR PLAY- XVe presented the Senior Class Play XYe Shook the Family Tree on December 12th, at the Central School llall.

SENIOR PARTY- The next social event was the Senior Party. Dan- cing plus excellent entertainment produced a good time for everyone.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL - HE girls' basketball team, captained hy Mildred Zenker, had a season 5:55215 consisting of seven games.. Although the girls showed great- en- thusiasm and sportsmanship, their record showed tour defeats and three victories. The second team, however, had a wonderful season, being undefeated throughout. This team shows much promise for the future. Girls' haskethall is increasing in popularity in the High School, and we hope this interest is continued hy the coming classes. XYL- wish next year's team, with Dorothy XVi1kins and Mary Donavan as co- captains, hest wishes for a victorious scrson. 69 1948 Edward F. Scurlgs High School Standing: E.. Goldberg, C.
