Dke CL of 1953 of present 6 THE SEMA PHDHE To the Graduating Class of 1953: It is with mixed feelings that I see you leave Stoughton High School. Pleasure, that you have accomplished your goal of graduation, is mingled with the sad thought that I will never see you as a group again and enjoy the many pleasant contacts of the last four years. Please remember that in the future your high school stands ready to assist you in any way possible. To each and every graduate I wish the best of luck and Godspeed. Sincerely, Howard R. Randcdl ADMIIVISTHATIDIV Mr. Joseph Gibbons, Superintendent Mr. Howard Randall, Principal Mr. Daniel Donahue.

We are seated here at the Inaugu- ral Ball in Was hington, D. C, for President Charles Fahey. Also present are his cabinet members (Betty Cowgill. Bob Blake, and Madelon Magee). Delivering the Benediction was Rev. Wil- liam Allen of the St. Paul ' s Cathedral. Ronald Darling, M. C, announces that our classmates Jeanne Zompi and Marlene Si- monds are now entering, sporting a beautiful tan. They just took the hop back from their annual visit to the Sunshine State . Here come those glamorous stars: red- haired Mary SIdendiel and dark-haired Lois Thomer. Were we all astonished! Just noticed Gerry Goulston and his lazzy livers (Tom Barrett, clarinet, Dave Forbes, guitar; Marilyn Smith, piano; Ed D e a d y , drums; and Allan MacLean, bag pipes). Starring quartet for the night are The Hot Totties — Sandra Brauneis, Barbara Coots, Richie Gibbs, and Clem Smithl Well, here come the distinguished Admiral of the Great Lakes, John Sullivan, and his wife, the former Ruth Selig. Cathy Broderick has just fainted because she lost her bottle of vitamin pills. Mary Mootas and Pat Blye are vigorously fanning her with dollar bills from the profit they made from, hot lunches! All heads turn as in walk those uninvited guests Dot Barrett and Betty Ann Johnston, who turned into the wrong side street of Pennsylvania Avenue while leading the In- augural Parade. The cow bells begin to ring as sophisti- cated Carolyn Pratt arrives with her two pet calves from the well-known Parish Dairy. Here comes handsome Dave Gallacher after working on the President ' s Model T Ford (which was designed by Charles Long). Keimy Foster has just told another of his colorful jokes and the remarkable laughs of Ginny Low and Ann LaPorte can be heard above the band. A dance contest is now being held, and all eyes are focused on Charles Sweet and Jean Harrison. Delores Andrade, Georgianna Johnson, and Virginia Brown from Caterers, Inc., are doing a splendid job of serving hamburgers. Jack Dykeman is having a repeat perform- ance throwing chili sauce at Fran Fennessy as she is about to do her specialty number, the Charleston . He wasn ' t satisfied at this, so he had to annoy his true friend Connie Corbett. Outstanding figures of the sports world just entered. We recognize them as Donald MacKinnon, Richie Klim, and Ed McGillvary. Following close behind them was Ronnie Leif with his secretaries, Betty Bennett, Shirl Bap- tist, Helen Janock, Virginia Murphy, and Barbara Fenton. All dressed up in their dungarees are Anne Robicheau, Audrey Holliday, and Pat Hyde — causing a great commotion, as usual. The famous columnist Bob Daly can be heard quoting his favorite saying: Early to bed and early to rise. And your girl goes out with other guys! 26 Shirley Hodges makes her appearance for just a few minutes as she has to catch the train leaving for Worcester. Paul Johnson and Barton White have just returned from an exciting expedition. Follow- ing Barton are a few hundred of his pets. Nancy Valentine is giving a demonstration of making pizza and is assisted by chefs Manny Rodericks and Fran DeSantis, who are mixing up a few of their own concoctions. Pat Hughes, Barbara Dooley, and Bette Jordan in their nurses ' uniforms are eagerly attentive. In a corner writing a letter to her devoted fiance, is Shirley Tansey. The Yenush twins are pedaling their bi- cycles around the stadium, trying to outdo each other. Roland .Ares is ' still working on his hope chest for Betty Beaucaire. As we gaze around, we see lonely Gary DeCosta, who is feeling blue because his girl is home studying. Everything is quiet for the moment until Art Camber comes in, his heels clicking loudly on the marble floor. Carl Hampe and Phil Sullivan have just decided they want their hair cut shorter, and Joe Seivers has volunteered to do the job. John Cole and Dot Aheam are having a game of poker where no one will disturb them — in the aisle! In walked Bill Mahoney and John White, slightly early after a rough night studying for their college finals . In conclusion of this memorable evening, we are bidden farewell by Joan Kett. official hostess of this Inaugural Bean Supper.

Class Entertainers Barbara Fenton and Kenny Foster THE GHEEIV YEARS 1949- 1950 At last the day had come. Hope and hap- piness filled our hearts as we illegibly inscribed our names on the register as students of Stoughton High School. Attending the high school during the afternoon session only, we found that class officers and a freshman dance were expendable to the three R ' s As reward for our tireless efforts as freshmen, we left school in June knowing that in Sep- tember we would be one step nearer to our glorious goal, graduation. 1950- 1951 By this time we were well accustomed to the ways of high school life. We began to settle down to a more business-like atmosphere and elected Edward McGillvary, president; Joan Kett, vice-president; Made! on Magee, secretary; and Robert Blake, treasurer. With the help and direction of Miss Lovallee, the Sophomore Dance turned out to be a great success. Now we had the satisfaction of know- ing that the third rung of the ladder of success had been reached and we would return as juniors. 1951-1952 In this year, our third, we anticipated one of the busiest terms in our high school career. The annual class elections were held and Richard Klim was elected captain; Joan Kett, his first-lieutenant; Madelon Magee, class scribe; and Paul Stanton, guardian of the gold. Because of the renovation of both the town hall and the high school, we held our junior prom at Fellowship Hall. Through the tireless efforts of Mr. Penardi, our class adviser, it was the greatest financial success in the history of proms at Stoughton High School. Class rings were purchased and distributed. As our busy and prosperous junior year reached a glorious end, we looked forward to our senior year. 30 1952-1953 We returned to our last year of high school missing only one member of the class. Richard Klim had entered Worcester Academy, but he returned early in January of 1953. Our final election found Charles Fahey as president; Betty Cowgill, vice-president; Madelon Magee, secretary; and Robert Blake, treasurer. The acting and musical talents of our class were brought into the limelight as Sing Out, Sweet Land was successfully staged. Com- mencement Week, followed by the Reception, Banquet, and Class Day kept us busy. With the thought of graduation ever on our minds. we carried on and finally marched across the stage of the high school auditorium and re- ceived our diplomas. Having completed the course of study of Stoughton High School, the Class of 1953 wishes to thank sincerely the school faculty for the educational training which was so essen- tial in our impressionable days. Upon leaving Stoughton High School and venturing into this war-torn world, and know- ing that the future destiny of America depends on us, we will do our utmost to see that America remains the land of opportunity that it was for us in our green years.

Dear Friends of the Yearbook: The Graduating Class of 1953 extends its grateful acknowledgement to everyone contributing his encouragement and assistance in making this Semaphore ' 55 a succerisful class project. The many hours of difficult planning and work would have been impossible without the interest, co- operation, and suggestions of each member of the class, the faculty, Mr. Randall, and Mr. Donahue. Briefly and at random, we are indebted to our Advertisers and Patrons for their financial indulgence ; the Business Committee . sparked by Carl Hampe, for its successful advertising campaign; the Literary Committee , inspired by Marilyn Smith, for its originality and lively humor; the Arranging Committee, and Edward McGillvary for his great patience and mathematical practicality; the Art Committee for a tremendous contribution ; our Adviser, Mr. Murphy, for his unfailing encouragement ; and especially Charles Fahey, our Editor-in-Chief ; Joan Kett, our Assistant Editor, for their arduous pioneering for a yearbook with that new look . To our entire yearbook staff, goes a round of applause for this pictorial record of our memorable days at Stoughton High.
