We leave behind our carefree hours when 'Deeds, Not Words' was hut a phrase, As we go forth from dear Searles High, Our motto guides us on our ways. Dark clouds o'er head make futures dim, The world is not at ease today. Dear Lord, take care and watch o'er us 'ho always seek the peaceful way. We'll set our goal and mold our lives To face the problems we must meet, With hope, with courage always high, We will not tolerate defeat. --- CONSTANCE R. ZING CLASS SON G l95I 1 mm.

We have often looked forward to this day as a day of happiness and rejoicing, but now that we have arrived at the terminal of our hi h school career, our thoughts look ahead to tie crises of the world today and how we are to do our part to better ourselves and the world we must live in. Guided by our motto, 'Deeds Not Words,' we shall endeavor with our utmost to establish a firm position in life that shall be a credit to Edward F. Searles High.

Robert Hill Constance Zing Jean Hambleton Albert Shadlick Donald Adams Sue Biven Theresa Haykal Timothy O'Neil CLASS HISTORY hen many snows have come and gone, we will come to look upon our high school daysznsthe happiest and most carefree of our lives. Thus, I hope that a short resume of those happy da s with their trials and tribulations, victories and defeats, and the thrills of accomplishments will sear the remembrance irrevocably upon our minds. Gayly we started down a new trail in our lives, our high school years, under the leadership of Timothy O'Neil, our presi- dent, Lawrence Bradley, our vice-president, Margie Reilly, our secretary, and Sue Biven, our treasurer. Early in the fall of our sophomore year we were formally greeted by Donald Pickles, the president of the senior class, at the Sophomore Reception. After his kind welcoming address, we felt that we had the right to belong. A little later in the year, some of our talented classmates produced an enjoyable evening's diversion at our Sophomore Party. he singing and the variety of other entertainment was followed by dancing to the best bands in the land, 'on record.' Ears reddened under the lash of the winter cold, but we were rescued by an early spring. June and its hot sun soon came into view,andtwo of our classmates, Frances Nicholson and Robert Hill, were the honored recipients of the Good Citizenship Medals, pre- sented by the Daughters of the American Revolution. All good things come to an end as did vacation, nevertheless, we were glad to be back to our junior year, we were veterans now, and we looked forward to a happy year with our old friends and our new acquaintances. We again elected Tim, Larry, Margie, and Sue as our class officers. With the falling of the leaves, we chose a ring committee to select the design and material of our class ring. Our faith was justified when the committee selected a beautiful gold ring banded with a blue stripe. Winter ushered basketball season into the limelight, and the basketball dances were a welcome boon to many a teenager. As usual, our willing class talent gave a scintillating per- 61 formance at our Junior Party. Everyone went home happy after the subsequent dance. We went our accustomed rounds until spring reared its dainty head. At an assembly in June, Sue Biven'wasawarded the Washington- Franklin Medal for outstanding accomplishment in American History. The D. A. H. also resented their Good Citizenship Medals to Fran- ces Nicholson and gohn Olefirowicz. The summer heat passed and soon the autumn leaves were fal- lin . With great anticipation of jollity to come, we tore into our hi E school duties. Timothy O'Neil, Larry Bradley, Margie Beilly, ans Sue Biven were again re-elected as our class officers. During Indian summer, President O'Neil welcomed the sopho- mores at the Sophomore Reception, which enabled everyone to have a pleasant session of dancing. In late winter, the Senior Play, 'Dear Buth,' was a great success under the direction of one of our own teachers, Miss Le- maitre. The superb cast gave a stimulating treat to the audience. An unprecedented experiment was attempted in February in the matter of class parties. The three parties were combined into one, called 'Talent Ni ht,' and it was a tremendous success, bursting with talent andluiarity. Donald George was elected by the student body to represent our high school in Boston on Good Government Day. As a result of a successful magazine drive held during the winter, the cost of the class yearboo was materially reduced. For oncetlu storm gods were kind on the night of the Military Ball. Company D under the command of Mac DeSilva won the hand. Soon the graduation honors were announced. Elaine Dearden was selected hnrvaledictorian, Frances Nicholson for Salutatorian, and Viola Danelian for the honor essay. For a long time there had been a demand for a new high school in Methuen, but it was not until March of this year that the town meeting voted to buildtjueproposed high school with the assistance of the state. Thus, we may receive the rather doubtful honor of being the last class to have received all our high school training at Searles High. By means of another election in March, Elaine Dearden was voted the girl most deserving the D. A. B. Good Citizenship Medal and all the honors that go with it. 62 Early in A ril, our feminine classmates gave a magnificent demonstrationcafiaton twirling, rollerskatin , square dancing, and bicyclin . This A. A. demonstrationwwasably directed by Miss Chad- wick, and it certainly was a great success. Cur band gaveaabrilliant performanceaatthe annual Band Dance, held in the middle of May. The great turnout shows how much our students appreciate the efforts of the band and its director, Mr. McDonald. Then came the Senior Prom, the event which the girls had been dreaming about all year. The beauty of every girl was enhanced by an equally lovely gown, and the boys were also resplendent in their formal attire. And now is our Class Day, the apex of our high school career. We are leaving high school to go out into a new world f And now is our Class Day, the apex of our high school career. We are leavin? our high sc ool to go out into a new world for whigh we have een prepared, a world that appreciates 'Deeds not Wor s.' -..-- ROBERT HILL 63 CLASS PROPHECY embers of the faculty, undergraduates, classmates, friends: Hereare your radio commentators, Jean Hambleton and A1 Shad- lick bringing you an exclusive interview of the 25th reunion gfhthit most advanced and surprising class of 1951 of Searles High c oo . Tonightwe are celebrating our reunion at that reknowned night club, 'The Brown Derby,' owned by those famous Smith Brothers and their distinguished partner Thomas Ramsbotham. Tom has certainly advanced from his former position of dish washer. But before we continue, letus have a few words from our s on- sor, 'The Tidy Didy Diaper Service,' owned and operated by those illustrious business men Bernard Reilly and Hank Owen. They have adopted our class motto - 'Deeds not Words.' The guests are anxiously awaiting the arrival of that cele- brated ra io, movie and TV hero, Chug-a-long Chatis, idol of the air lanes. As we move among the throng we see the famous steady couple of 1951, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Judge, Mrs. being the former Beverly Allen. We hear their eldest daughter is attending Methuen High this year. Talking with the Judges are Prof. Donald George and his col- league dienoted mathematician Nancy Cooke, both of whom are teach- ing at Slater's Institute of Cosmography. Standin by the head table are Gwen Weirnick, the nationally known dress Sesigner andlunrformer models from the 1960's, Phyllis Bramhall, Joan Bruneau, Dorothy Kosceilniak, Gerry Derochers and Emilie Orlando. Those girls certainly have maintained their beauty throughout the years. A fewcufour former athletes here this evening are Larry Brad- ley and Abe Hajjar, coaches of the professional football team, the Boston Pekinese which is still managed by Jim Rhodes. We think Jim is going to try to compete with Connie Mack. Driving up uothe front entrance is Congressman Frank Dobson's car. Chauffeur Joe Wagenbach opens the door and out steps Con- gressman Dobson followed by his two husky body guards Tony Bonanno and Frankie Ball. 64 The females keepingtiuzconversation flowing as usual are Con- nie Zing, Carlene Erickson and Ginger Gannom. e see they're com- aring photographs with that trio of grandmothers, Dotty Hurrell, Bat Hosterman, and Alma Hargreaves. As weYve been wandering around we've noticed Dick Huston sporting a new crop of curly air. Ara Nazar1an's hair tonic cer- tainly works wonders. The music you hear in the back round is su plied by Mac DeSilva's Jive Combo featuring Don Adams on the diums and Leon Berry on the trombone. We hear lac has a bid, arranged by his man- ager Eddie Athayde, to play at 'The Bucket of Blood,' local dine and dance palace owned b Bob Belavitch. Sparky Wallace is the head bar tender and Bill Mhloof and Bob Kopacz as bouncers provide a good representation from our home town. The boys from our class who caused the big sugorise by enter- ing the ministry were George Emmott and Bill War . Also another surprise were Jeanne Girard and Bobbie Leoff who became mission- aries. Re resenting the armed forces are Gen. Gilbert Lutz who is attendedlby his aides, Bay Zenker and Bay Voter. As we were coming to this reunion we stopped in at Hill's Pills Emporium. Bob certainly side tracked his desired profession to be a chemical engineer. In the drug store we met Jay Morehouse, the roving re orter for Tim O'Neil's scandal sheet, 'The Seeing Eye.' Jay tefls us that Peggy Doyle, Lois Nicholson, Susan Bistany, Nancy Russell, and Marie Botondo are leaving for an extended trip throughout Europe following this reunion. We see Jerry Winer had to attend this celebration in his wheel chair because of his rheumatism. Dr. Hank Schruender says Jerry's sickness isn't quite that serious. We think Jerry just likes all the attention he's getting from his nurses, Dolly Pica, Martha Carmichael and Veronica Dolan. Speakingcafnurses, Joanne Hilbert is superintendent of nurses at the Akroy and Bourgeois Memorial Hospita . Also employed there are three famous laboratory technicians, Dorothy Huebner, Elaine Dearden and Viola Danelian. They get all the dirty work done in the lab by the orderlies Joe Bartolotta, Donald Jackson and Martin Aaronian. 'That white haired fellow just crossing before us is Walter Martin. He made a fortune in old automobiles. 65 There'stheprominentjudgefharles Nixon. He's busy now-a-days At the table before us discussing the increasing enrollment in Methuen's new, modern high school are Phyllis Norcia, Donna Hamer, Frances Vaina, Anna Filli and Jennie DiDio who are part of that well trained secretarial staff employed there. They certainly keep things in perfect order for Principal John Olefirowicz. Here John has his troubles making his janitors David Wain and Bob West- well do their work.

That makes quite a few of the 1951 graduates in Europe now. Joyce Lippold, Patricia Healey, Patsy Moore and Janice Harrison are technical advisors in some of the rehabilitation centers over there. Also, James Maranto and Robert Savard are the American in- spectors for guarding against the production of war making materi- a s in Bussia. with the case against Ted Berube for assaulting Chester Kus.

Our slogan is 'More punch in the punch.' Beturnin to our interview of the reunion, we see two of Methuen's popuTar girls of 1951, Margie Beilly and Lillian Batte, who are now deans of a local secretarial school. Members of the 66 staff are Marilyn Lister, Rosemarie Assaf, Barbara Weisenborn, Irene Donovan and Grace Rapa.

Starring roles have been given to Nonmm1THlz, Gloria Bluemel, Loretta Sabutis, Joan Connelly, Edward Weidlick, Janet Woekel and Joyce Wenzel. Producer Charles Simonian has hired Anthony Coppola as the director and Paul Cunha as his assistant. Just leaving the room is editor Nancy Mahoney of the well- known magazine 'The Deaders Rigest.' Staff writers are Virginia Stevens,JoanFdaherty, Loretta Tannalfo,PeggyChpssland and Ramona Bistany. Some of the featured illustrators are Mary Jane Sanborn, Emma Walsh, Evelyn Kaatz, Alice Keamy and Marie Vanderstuyf.

Technical advisors for the show are Alice Boyko, Carolyn Calitri, Rita Cavanaugh and Eileen Hollins.

This is station WXYZ signing off. ---- JEAN HAMBLETON ---- AL SHADLICK 67 IVY OBATION oday, as so often in the past, a graduating class of Searles High School is gathered together on our spacious lawn for the traditional Class Day exercises. Very soon we shall be leaving these strong, protective walls to venture forth into an uncertain future. Each year, as a token of remembrance, the gradu- ating class plants a tiny ivy along the gray-stone walls which surround this beautiful, stately building. The ivy thus planted througitheyears has intermingled freely until it has formed a graceful pattern. lt is no longer easy to tell where the tiny ivy started its upward climb. Like the ivy, many graduates of the classes before us have followed patterns of life too similar to allow distinction, and this is natural and to be expected, for not all are intended to be leaders. Yet some who by nature could give much to the world allow the shadow of insig- nificance to darken the path of achievement that might be theirs. Let them not row as some of the ivy that climbs vigorously for awhile, then fades and dies away. Perhaps there will be one or two among us who will soar to reater fields of accomplishment, and like a few bright, green feaves that hang resplendent in their glory, they too will stand out among the rest. However, in this confused world of today we need more than just a few who are willin to strive for a better way of life, not only for themselves but fbr others. Concerted ef- fort is needed to fight against the unfortunate evils that menace our present civilization. Although, at the present time, older and wiser people guide our destiny, itwill soonlxzup to us to lead, direct and influence. Not all of us are destined to be prominent, but there is not one who can afford to sit back while another does the work. The co- operation of one and all will alone bring to this world of ours t e pface and happiness we so fervently desire. May our class grow as t e ivy plant that climbs to stand out among the rest as a symbol of greater and finer things to come. There may be times when the events of the world will dis- courage us and the future appear dismal and dim. Then we need only remem er, that though the ivy ceases its rowth during the winter months, it blooms forth more glorious in d e season of spring. Someday, with God's help, our world will enjoy a springtime rebirth and will emerge from its darkened state into the ight once more. --- DOROTHY E.

Music for dancing was furnished by records. THE SENIOR PLAY -- 'Dear Ruth' was presented by the class of 1951 as its Senior Play. The class was fortunate in possessing some fine actors and actresses who contributed greatly to the success of the play. 'Dear Ruth' will long be remembered by everyone who saw it presented. THE MILITARY BALL was beautiful even though the boys wore khaki uniforms. The drilling was good and the grand march waszabeautiful sight. The hall was decorated with tri-colored streamers, shields composed of the thirteen original states decorated the walls and a Statue of Liberty on the backdro of the sta e.

SENIOR PLAY CAST he Seniors this year chose as their class play the comedy 'Dear Ruth,' to be directed by Miss Marcelle Lemaitre. Jean Hambleton in the title role, and Larry Bradley as Bill Seawright, gave a fine performance. The mischievous little sister who caused all the trouble was well played by Carlene Erickson. Donald Geor e's performance as Judge Wilkins will long be remembered, as will Sue Biven's portrayal of his wife. Bob Bourgeois, Dick Huston, Dolly Pica, and Martha Bassett also added to the success of the play through their fine acting, while Bill Ward, although his part was short, provided the climax to an en- joyable evening. 79 1 1 A X i t x 6, 1 Nu ,K-' 4 Hear How: Walter Martin,ElbertWallace,RaymondVbter,JohnfkSilV8.
