He has a motto about girls, and that is to keep them happy. His good sense of humor, in addition to his unforgettable ability in football, has been greatly admired by all. His good looks, wavy hair, and suaveness have been much envied by fellow classmates. Best of luck, Mo, whatever be your goal in life.

His ability to play football has caused a lot of worry for all opposing elevens. Dick has proved he can study by his power of concentration in Room 14, fifth and sixth periods.

We also hear that he plays on a baseball team. The world will certainly appreciate a fellow like our Dick. WILFRED AULENBACK Will None exceeds him in worth Will is one of the onlookers in the Senior Class, but not in music! Only recently has his outstanding baritone voice been discovered--and what a discovery! Never will we forget how he helped us out in the musicals. Although Will likes quietness, we often see a gleam of mischief in his eye. Best of luck in whatever you undertake. Cvlee Clllh 2, 3, 4 MAJOR HOWARD VV. BEAT..

IBEAI. MIIMURIAI. HIGH SCHOOL SI IRKXVSBURY, M.-XSSACI iUSL'l I'S I - Class History If but a slight degree of the startling stories were really to be found in a four- year high school course that are an- nually recited by the historian, there would be cause for both awe and ad- miration. If half of the brilliancy that is claimed by a graduating class was really to be found, the town of Shrewsbury must now be populated with super men and women. Let us not claim such an abundance of praise for our Class of 1947. We merely ask for whatever credit is due us for four years of sacrifice and study. lt does not seem fully four years ago that the present graduating class put our hats and coats in some empty lockers and, then, timidly went to our home-rooms. The new adventure had begun. Woe be unto the freshman! He has no past, the future frightens him and his confidence has taken wings. In the early part of the year, we fresh- men showed our class spirit for the first time by electing Bob Wiles, President, Betty Webb, Vice-president, lane Bath, Secretary, and Nancy Beck, Treasurer. We now felt our class was organized. Within a short time we experienced our first thrill by holding a social. This stimulated our interests in other social activities of the school so that a high percentage tried out for Prize Speaking with the result that we made a good showing with Nancy Beck winning first prize. In September we returned as sopho- mores with a feeling of great import- ance, fully realizing that the bark had been worse than the bite. We had confidence, determination and truly positive plans. We, therefore, pro- 16 ceeded to select class oflicers with D. H. Adams, President, Dick Leonard, Vice- president, Dot Hall, Secretary, and Mimi Wakeman, Treasurer. It was during our sophomore year that pupils from the Coolidge school joined us at Beal. In order to afford an opportunity for us to become acquainted, we wel- comed them with a social which again proved successful. It was at this time that the gremlins had evidently decided to inject their influence in class ventures for reasons not fully under- stood. Our Sophomore Hop was not fully successful, in fact, it has since been called the Sophomore Flop. By this time, since our boys had begun to show marked ability in athletics we were not surprised when we had class representa- tion in D. H. Adams, Bob Wiles, and Bob Dean. The spring weeks soon came to an end, leaving us again looking not surely, with regret at our empty desks. There had been no casualties, and we were pleased. On our return to school in September it became apparent that we knew one another a little better. We were there- fore determined to have a pleasant year and as uniors, we set about elect- ing class o cers. We placed our trust again in Dick Adams as President, Bob Wiles as Vice-president, lean Ryan as Secretary and -lean Collier as Treasurer. The luniors were now beginning to find themselves. Something had happened to the entire class to a degree that the faculty became aware of this change. So we merry juniors hit our stride by holding a record dance which was a means of adding to our treasury and MAJOR HOWARD W. DEAL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL therefore stimulated our desire to further social events. We immediately held a movie which again served to build up our low financial standing. junior Prize Speaking was again in order and we successfully met the challenge with Nancy Beck carrying away first honors, Eleanor Wysocki, second, and Rena Kant, third. Let me tell you about the most important event of our junior year-our junior Prom. june found us decorating Nee Hall with Oriental decorations in preparation for what proved to be a very enjoyable event on the evening of june 7. Jane Bath was chosen queen. Our junior year had drawn to a close. Vacation over-Seniors! We did not look taller, older nor more dignified but nevertheless we gladly accepted this imposing title. The Seniors were now determined to reap the full benefits of their last year in high school for they wished to make up for what they had lost in the Freshman and Sophomore years. We immediately set about elect- ing officers for our graduating year. Sumner Loomer was elected President, Dick H. Adams, Vicefpresidentg lean Collier, Secretary, and Joyce Ireland, Treasurer. We put on the annual Senior play under the thoughtful guidance of SHREWSBURY, MASSACHUSET Tb Miss Churchill. The townspeople were liberal in their attendance and ap lause. We were well pleased and our amBitions greatly stimulated. At this point, menf tion must be made of our football team which had now become a precision machine. Four years of training under the guidance of Coach Bergstrom had now produced seniors M. Abasciano, D. H. Adams, D. L. Adams, R. Dean, R. Leonard, E. Rourke, C. Stolaroff, and R. Wiles. We had a victorious season. On April 18 we successfully held the Senior Ball. The hall was decorated in lime, yellow and orchid. A king and queen were chosen. The most unforgettable event of our high school career was our class trip to New York. There were no casualties as a result of this hilarious experience. This day ends the history of our four years at Beal High School. lt is a story of success and happiness. May happif ness continue in our lives and the mirror of our minds always reflect the incidents and happy events of our high school days. May this Class Day of 1947 live in the home of our memory and guide us in the path of happiness and goodness forever. lean Collier, Secretary 27 he Wil Hg We, the Senior Class of 1947, in the town of Shrewsbury, County of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, of Shrewsbury High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us.

Little did we know or realize that our quota of time could pass in such a rapid manner. Now we are on the brink of disaster, and we feel it fitting and proper that we revisit our old friends once more before we are compelled to leave them. Thus, with fear in our hearts and determination in our minds we have resolved to reach our friends at the earliest possible moment. Leaving the peaceful land of Nadas we leaped upon our flying toads and proceeded on our long journey whence we would emerge into a fantasf tic metropolis. Circling overhead and peering downward through the swirling haze, we caught our first sight of civilizaf tion. The toads immediately deposited us in the midst of humanity, where, to our amazement, upon touching the ground of mortals we immediately turned to mist. Our quest had be un. We first found ourselves stancing in front of a nightclub, and we immediately noticed the neon sign which read Abasf ciano's Capistrano. Doorman Kellogg was busy opening car doors and ushering in people. We first saw Ed Rourke and his cute wife, Pauline, passing through the glass doors. We followed them by taking advantage of our vaporized existence and drifted through the key' hole. We passed Midge Kennedy, the cute hatfcheck girl. As we were in the form of vapor, we were unnoticed by head-waiter, Richard L. Adams. We now find ourselves settled at a front table thoroughly unnoticed by anyone. Will Moore Carle's Sunset Lemonade breaks the general clatter, the curtain flies up, and the show is on. The micro' phone rises through the floor and, clinging to it, is Master of Ceremonies, Don Farmer: Through the courtesy of Merrill's Doughnut and Rubber Com' pany, we bring you Becky Bergman, reenacting her famous first act-'Three Gorillas and a Banana'Adirect from the broadway hit, 'Ridiculous '! Crash!! A new war? Invasion? No! lust lo Claflin accidentally swishing the con- tents of her table on the floor. All eyes turn from the stage to the door, where entering is celebrity, Richard H. Adams, with his five secretaries, H. Caraker, H. Cathline, Weagle, E. Whitney, and P. Ward. Who will tell his wife? However, the limelight is stolen, as the lights dim and Bob Menard trips out on the stage, accompanied by lreland's organ concerto and Dick Leonard, boogie-beating his licorice stick. Dot Hall of the muscle factory, with her two dumbbells, entertains by juggling a peanut, an ironing board, and a bucket of Marshmallow Fluff. Bob Wiles, surrounded by Hope Symonds, Dorothy Foley, Mary Pirone, and Vera Stomi, roar with laughter as the silly dillies, Amarel, Aulenback, and Dube, sing the latest crash hit, Moron's Cverturef' Attention then turns to waitress, Lucy Todisco, who has calmly tripped and spilled an ice cream soda and a double malted down the back of Phyl Lutz who is busily poring over 3U MAJOR HOVVARD W. DEAL MEMORIAL HIC H SCHOOL a German book in a secluded corner table. After a gallant try to retain our composure, we turn again toward the stage, where Norma Chaponis is trying desperately to ring out i'Chopin's May' onnaise in all flats, accompanied by a duet with Phyllis Spooner and Lois Dean taking the honors. Two whistles are heard and Tony Mastro and Dick Pouliot rush in, chasing a mink coat, which is Irene Cwendron in disguise. She races by a table where Veterinarian Putnam is seated with a Erench Poodle, a Siamese Cat, and a Kodiak Bear. Chief bouncer, Stolaroff, swiftly removes the Dchef' who has made his future in nightclubs. At a corner table scientist V. McVickar is seated surf rounded with test tubes. The club is honored by a visit from the owner of one of the leading clothing stores of New York, namely The Zona Burlap Bag Company. Seated at a front table is ane Bath, accompanied by her sister-inf aw, Phyllis, discussing the latest creams and fashions. At the next table Presif dent Loomer of illiterate University and Dean Thayer talk over plans for a new school. This time they plan to add one more room to the original two. Barbara Foley Dunn and Eleanor Kender Judson are quietly talking over the latest cook book, when a shot is heard. There were no casualties, as it was only Dick Sylvester's old model car. We have time out for the mail as john Connolly distributes valentines to the customers. As we glance about the club, we see Mary Morrissey selling cigarettes, New York Artist, Tink Miller, sketching !iHRliWSl3l IRY, MASSACI lUSl?'I I'S portraits of the guests, and can Ryan taking shorthand in six di erent lanf guages. Lawyer Eiorelli, who has never won a case, and Playboy, Bob Dean, are discussing business over a coke. Io Hatch enters with her pallette. She has recently returned from Switzerland with Rena, who has been teaching the art of making cheese from goats' milk in the Swiss Alps. Outside we hear the screeching of brakes. Rawling's taxi makes an appearance with four slick chicks, C1. Montecalvo, H. Whittef more, D. Wahlstrom, and Trotta, all secretaries in large business concerns. Pushing along behind this throng is big game hunter, McWay, who enters with his big catch, a ferocious alley cat. Gerry Bartholomew of the Used Oil Company, with his secretary, Jo Leone, catch a bit of the spotlight. Richard johnson has Jean Collier cornered in the darkest part of the room, interpreting the last act of Macbeth, while Barbara Bryant is calling the hospital for a stretcher to take out Eddie Norris, who has just been overcome by an appendix attack. What is this strange thing that is happening to us? We seem to be drifting from our table toward the ventilators. Our quest must be nearly over. As we drift to the unknown world, we can hear Lydia Cassanelli, Beatrice Dudley, Charlotte Malhoit, and Eleanor Wysocki singing This is the End.

There were movies to be presented, newly elected mem, bers to be installed, the monument to be decorated on Memorial Day, and various other tasks to be performed. All these were carried out in good form and with cheerful, ness. We are indeed proud to be members of the National Honor Society in the Shrews- bury High School. We accept tasks with a SHREXNSBURY, MASSACHUSETTS smile and will always endeavor to be faithful. Menibers of this organization are selected by the faculty at the end of the junior year and in the middle of the senior year. At the First installation seven per cent of the class is elected, and at the second election eleven per cent of the class is installed. The pupils who are the most outstanding in the qualities of leadership, character, service, and scholarship are chosen to become members. Election into this organization is the greatest honor that any student at Shrewsbury High School can obtain. 37 First row: N. Thayer, S. Loomcr, L, Dean, R. Wiles, N, Bath. E. Wysamcki, R.

Dur aim this year was to make money to hold a ban' quet in june. First, we had a penny sale, each girl inviting one guest. ln December we held a Rummage Sale in Worcester. This sale financed our Christmas Ball. Dur ball was held at the Town Hall which was decorated in silver, blue, and white. Since the ball was a great success, it is to be an annual affair. At our Christmas Party, gifts were exchanged, and a good time was had by all. Later in the year, we held a party for the HifY, in return for a barn dance they held in our honor earlier in the year. Each year the Sorority aids in collecting for the lnfantile Paralysis Campaign. The five girls collecting the largest amount were taken out to a dinner party at the Meadows. We were honored to have some excellent speakers 42 this year. Mr. Winston Keck spoke to us about choosing a college or vocation. Dr. Thomas Hunter told us of interesting per- sonal experiences in World War ll. Miss Scott, an artist, spoke to us of her trip to Mexico and showed us her excellent paintings ofthe country. Miss Wanda Kane spolce on a lighter, but important subject of make-up and hair styles, while another spoke on hat styles. Dur palms were read by one of our speakers, who also spoke on etiquette.'l Dur own Dr. Jewell spoke to us at one of the last meetings. The unforgettable banquet in june ended the year with a bang At this banquet each memher received a silver bracelet with the sorority insignia.

Kender, Miss Churchill f Junior Prize Spealkin On the evening of june 4, 19.46, six girls were on the stage at Nee Hall, waiting anxiously to give their selections for junior Prize Speaking, The ushers were Nancy Bath, jean Collier, Barbara Foley, and Marjorie Kennedy. The judges were Mrs. David Smith of Grafton, Miss Ann Smith of Grafton, and Miss jessie S. Smith of Holden. The orchestra under the direction of Mr, Wall opened with a medley. To start the program, President Richard H. Adams gave the Address of XVelcome. Mary Morrissey was the first speaker with At Ease, Son, The second to speak was joanne Claflin giving The Glad Game from Pollymma. For a short interlude the orchestra played Panis Angelicusu by Cesar Franck. Eleanor Wysocki was next with an oration Minding 46 Our Own Business. In sharp contrast, Eleanor Kender spoke Sweet and Girlish, a humorous selection, Again the orchestra rendered a piece by Sigmund Romberg, Softly, as in the Morning Sunrise, For the following number, Rena Kant came forth with a very entertaining piece, The Waltz. For the finale Nancy Beck presented a dramatic Bittersweet After many minutes of waiting and wondering, Mrs. Arthur N. Parmenter, President of the Shrewsbury WLTIIIHHYS Club, awarded the prizes. Nancy Beck came out first, Eleanor Wystucki second, and Rena Kant, honorable mention. All who particif pated in this program benefited greatly from Miss Churchill's expert direction. MAJOR HOVVARD W.

The club is divided into a varsity and a junior varsity team, which has debated sev- eral times this year. In the first debate against Hanover, we were victorious, The second debate was our loss. We also lost to a Graf- ton team, and to a Cushing team. This year the varsity will travel to Maine on March 28 to compete in the New England SI IREWSIIURY, MASSACI IUSI2'I I'S RICHARD McCOWAN RICHARD WILLIAMS DOROTHY HALL National Tournament, where we have high hopes of achieving success. They will also compete in a state tournament at Cushing Academy, in the near future.

Every performance it has given has been commendable because of the fine direction of Miss Tyrrell. Few realize what a task it is to prepare so many diflrerent songs in such a short time. The enthusiasm of the members is recognized by the eager way they practice perfection. There are many promising 48 musicians ranging from the Sth grade to the Senior Class. The Orchestra has been extremely popular this past year.

Gendron ifaptainj heer eading The Cheerleading squad was organized for the purposes of cheering the team to victory and getting the audience to cheer with them to add pep and zip to the game, be it football or basketball. The senior members of our squad were chosen in their junior year by fair tryouts together with the decision of the former cheering squad and an authority. Last year these cheerleaders, now seniors, chose new cheerleaders to add to their squad in the same manner with the girls' and boys' coaches and Mr. Cooke as supervisors. 52 The girls then trained the new members by frequent practice and prepared for the first game. We try to make our year successful by adding new cheers to the old ones, but, un- fortunately, this year, we couldn't have enough pepfassemblies to introduce our new cheers. All in all, we must remember that sports would be a little on the drab side without the spirit of cheerleading. MAJOR HOWARD W. DEAL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL ay ,.,,4.- 7 X f H ' .
