Schwab 2 ’45 Class Motto: “Today Decides Tomorrow” Class Flower: White Carnation Class Colors: Maroon and Gold Class Adviser: Miss Helen Donnelly EDITORIAL We are leaving Sutton High School, our beloved Alma Mater. Our four years of acquaintance with the ideals of this institution have increased our knowledge so as to prepare us to encounter successfully, we trust, obstacles which may prevent progress along life’s diversified paths. From an inauspicious beginning, as Freshmen, we achieved our high aspirations year by year, until ultimately, we have now reached a momentous ending — the completion of our four years of high school. Graduation day is a day of both sorrow and gladness. It is sad because we are leaving our teachers and friends with whom we have enjoyed many pleasant associations. It is a day of joy because we are now stepping over the threshold which leads us into the great drama of life. Yes, we have had many problems to face, but as we go down the highway of life, and occasionally take time out to reminisce, we will realize that some of the most eventful days of our life can be counted among those spent within the walls of our Alma Mater — Sutton High School. As we are about to leave its sacred portals, may we, as a class, firmly resolve that Commencement Day is really a stepping stone to the appreciation of the finer and nobler aspects of life. We further resolve that we will all strive to do the right — so as to bring honor to our school, as God gives us light, to the end that the community in which we live may be blessed by our ac- complishments.

Jordan 8 ’45 CLASS HISTORY As we turn back the leaves of time we arrive at the year 1941. Picture then, forty-one bewildered people staunchly marching up to Room 1 only to be met by the staring faces of the upper-classmen. Most of us were too frightened to move beyond our seats. When the newness of the school wore off, we elected John Conway, President; Theresa Beaudry, Vice-presi- dent; Ruth Rivernider, Secretary, and Loretta Maynard, Treas- urer. Miss Finnerty was elected class adviser. All of us remember the month of October in the year 1941 because this was the month of our initiation. We were com- pelled to do funny things and most of us were shy and embar- rassed in front of the teachers and other pupils. The audience was almost hysterical when John Conway danced around with a huge balloon. We began our Sophomore year with more confidence. This time we elected Dunbar Plante, President; Alice Minor, Vice- president; Phyllis Lemoine, Secretary; and Jennie Fedorczuk, Treasurer. Our class adviser was Mr. Lehtinen. Now we could stare back and not quiver at the glances of the juniors and seniors. As was the custom, we initiated the freshmen and we be- lieve it was one of the best parties ever given at S. H. S. In our third year we were known as the “Jolly Juniors.” We were in charge of the Senior Prom and none of us will forget the hours we spent making paper roses for the decorations. How- ever, we were more than pleased with the compliments we re- ceived. The class officers were Dunbar Plante, President ; Alice Minor, Vice-president; Phyllis Lemoine, Secretary; and Jennie Fedorczuk, Treasurer. Mr. Butler was our class adviser. Our Senior year was the most eventful of all the years spent at Sutton High. There were now only seventeen, of the original forty-one left. We spent much of our time raising money by col- lecting scrap paper, giving a chicken supper, and sponsoring the Senior Play. The proceeds went toward a Grand Finale — our recent trip to New York. Our chaperons were Mr. Morris and Miss Donnelly. The four days we spent at the Hotel New Yorker will be remembered always. ’45 9 In March the faculty and the Senior Class chose Phyllis Le- moine as the D. A. R. Pilgrim. The Sutton Chapter sponsored a trip to Worcester. Qualities determining her selection were lead- ership, service, dependability and patriotism. Thus having completed four years at Sutton, we fondly bid good-bye to the faculty and the pupils of S. H. S. We also wish to thank those who tried, during those four years, to instill in us a little knowledge — Miss Finnerty, Miss Kirby, Mr. Pollard, Miss La Rochelle, Miss Lepine, Miss Connors, Mr. Lehtinen, Mr. Morris, Miss Mulcahy, Mr. Schwab, Mr. Butler, and Miss Don- nelly. PHYLLIS LEMOINE RUTH RIVERNIDER 10 ’45 CLASS PROPHECY The date: June 8, 1955 The time: 8:00 A. M. The place: Sutton Center’s new “Breakfast Shoppe” As I glanced through the morning Gazette, an item attract- ed my attention : “Captain Dunbar Plante, of the U. S. Navy, and his good friend, Captain “Honey” Bickford, expected to make port at Boston Harbor after Good Will Tour of South America.” Other members of the class were also mentioned in this morning’s Gazette. John Conway, the noted politician who is running for governor, is to be principal speaker at a class reunion next Thursday, which Dunbar and Kermit expect to attend. These items brought to mind news of other class members. Jennie Fedorczuk and Theresa Senecal are doing well in Washington, D. C., as private secretaries to high cabinet officials. Ruth Rivernider has attained fame as a scientist. Her latest discovery is the absorbent umbrella which eliminates the com- mon rain-drop drip. David King is a news correspondent for the “New York Tribune.” We understand that one of his latest “write ups” was on the Chicago Cubs, whose star player is none other than Stephen Markopoulos. Stephen is another member of the class of ’45 who expects to be back for the reunion. Rita Decoteau and her husband, Jake, saw Stephen play re- cently while they were in Chicago celebrating their sixth wed- ding anniversary. On the way home they met Grace Learned, who is an airplane hostess for the United Airlines. Our Broadway reporter has a review of the latest extra- vaganza at the Center Theater in New York. The star of this new musical is none other than our old classmate, Loretta May- nard, who does several spectacular roller-skating acts. Incident- ally, all her costumes are the fascinating creations by the famous Madame Tebo. Gertrude King, star performer with Guy Lombardo’s Royal Canadians, is taking time out from her musical career as trumpet player to come back for the reunion. Alice and Phyllis, head nurses at Boston City Hospital, are compiling information for their second volume on, “Home Reme- dies for Minor Ailments.” Just as I was about to finish my second cup of coffee, there was a rumbling noise outside. “What’s this?” A trailer with “Crosby, Gribouski Tiger Skins” printed in blazing letters on the side. These two “adventure seekers” have just returned from several narrow escapes in the jungles of Africa. We all look for- ward to their many “tall tales” at the reunion. ’45 11 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1945, knowing that our days in Sut- ton High School are at an end, being of sound mind and body, do declare this to be our last will and testament. To Mr. Morris, we will a secretary to take charge of all his papers, and some new fingernails in place of the ones he chewed off at the basketball tournament. To Mr. Butler, we bequeath a new hat in place of the one somebody sat on at the basketball game, and a horsewhip to keep the unruly Sophomore boys in hand. To Mr. Schwab, we leave a constant supply of “White Owls,” and a giant dictionary to “amuse” the pupils that he keeps after school. To Miss Mulcahy, we bequeath another English class who will understand more about “L’Allegro” and “II Penseroso” than we did, and a little cart to carry her books to and from school. To Miss Donnelly, we will another Senior play and hot dogs at the “Dog House,” also, a private detective to find the things she’s always losing. To the Juniors, we leave Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi from our modern European history, and our knowledge of English poets. To the Sophomores, we bequeath our “open minds” which tend to see “both sides of the issue.” To the Freshmen, we leave our ability to laugh at trouble during the rest of their school years, and some absorbers to stand the shocks they will receive. I, Kermit Bickford, will my bright blue suspenders to Do- lores Stopyra, and my dancing ability to George Aspinwall. I, John Conway, will my ability to demand my constitutional rights to Albert Chamberlain, and my jolly disposition to Mr. Schwab. I, Barbara Crosby, will my shyness to Dick Plante, and my size five shoes to Ann Stockwell. I, Rita Decoteau, will my height to Andrew Zuidema, and my pestering ability to Adelle Smith. I, Jennie Fedorczuk, will my dimples to Channing Smith, and my ability to knit sweaters to Helen Horne. 12 ’45 I, Anna Gribouski, will my glasses to Ruth White, and my gentle manner to Paul Sundquist. I, David King, will my vast knowledge and understanding of solid geometry to Channing Sm ith, and my loafers and bow ties to George Aspinwall. I, Gertrude King, will my feather-cuts to Doris Carter, and my 5 ' to Herman Stienstra. I, Grace Learned, will my title as “teacher’s pet” to the one who serves without fear or favor. I, Phyllis Lemoine, will my basketball ability to Lucille Cur- rier, and my size seven shoes to June Miller. I, Stephen Markopoulos, will my second-base position in baseball to Robert Sanger, and my ability to do algebra to An- thony Auger. I, Loretta Maynard, will my natural curly hair to Lorraine Landry, and my quietness to Barbara Brinck. I, Alice Minor, will my attraction for blondes to Eleanor Peterson, and my ex-long fingernails to Ray Chouinard. I, Dunbar Plante, will my attraction to girls to Paul Sund- quist, and my melodious voice to “Monotone” MacLaren. I, Ruth Rivernider, will my self-determination to Joan Mor- gan, and my argumentative ability to Jean LaCoy. I, Theresa Senecal, will my unmanageable hair to Barbara Champagny, and my love for Frank Sinatra to Dorothy Wood. I, Shirley Tebo, will my dancing ability to Chester Klewiec, and my carefreeness to Anah Johnson. Having witnessed the above, we, the brilliant Seniors, here- to affix our seal on this seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-five.

The goal of all our money-raising campaigns was our class trip to New York City. We went to New York on April 16, and returned home on April 19. While there, we visited among other places : the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler War Exhibit, Rocke- feller Center, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, the National Broadcasting Company, and La Guardia Field. We also saw the ice show, “Hats Off To Ice.” 14 ’ 4 5 Our financial success during- the past year was due largely to the kind support and co-operation of our fellow schoolmates and the residents of Sutton. To all who have aided us, we say, “Thank you.” The class is deeply appreciative of the assistance given us by the faculty — especially, Mr. Butler for his help in the com- mercial department, and Miss Donnelly, our class adviser. SPEAKING CONTEST The annual speaking contest was held on April 27 in the Sutton Town Hall. Those participating were: seniors, David King and John Conway; juniors, Eleanor Peterson, Robert Brig- ham, and Arthur Learned; sophomores, Ann Stockwell, Jane Fulton, and Josephine Piatczyc; freshman, Nancy Smith. This contest is financed by the Sutton High School Alumni Association Platform Speaking Fund. The prizes were awarded as follows: third prize to John Conway, “A Father’s Farewell to His Son Entering the Army”; second prize to Eleanor Peterson, “Janice Entertains Her Sis- ter’s Beau” ; and first prize to David King, “The Madman.” EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES To supplement our regular school curriculum and to provide periods of subjects of particular interest, four student clubs were formed during the past school year. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Donnelly, under- took and successfully completed many choral numbers. The Book Club, under the leadership of Miss Mulcahy, has met regularly and discussed books read. Modern best sellers were the predominant interest of this club. The Dramatic Club, of which Mr. Butler had charge, read and discussed contemporary plays. The Sports Club, under the supervision of Mr. Morris, dis- cussed sports and sporting problems during these periods. Th4s year a new experiment in the form of an orchestra was begun under the directorship of Miss Donnelly. The members of the orchestra were: Nancy Smith, violinist; Gertrude King, trumpeter; Robert Sanger, saxophonist; Norton Clarkson, drum- mer ; Marion Marble and David King, pianists. The orchestra per- formed publicly at the Speaking Contest and at the Athletic As- sociation plays. 15 ’ 4 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Ruth Rivernider, Alice Minor, Phyllis Lemoine, Arthur Learned, David King, Jennie Fedorczuk, Dorothy Davagian, Theresa Senecal For the first time in the history of Sutton High School, the Pro Merito, or National Honor Society, has been organized. The object of this chapter shall be to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to pro- mote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Sutton High School. The pupils chosen for this society are selected by the fac- ulty on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter. Senior candidates eligible to become members must have an average of 85% or higher at the end of the school year. The faculty also selects students from the Junior Class as active members of the society and students from the Sophomore Class as probationary members. If a member’s marks drop be- low the required average during the course of the school year, he is automatically dropped from the society and must return his pin. The following students have been chosen as active mem- bers: seniors, Theresa Senecal, Jennie Fedorczuk, David King, Ruth Rivernider, Alice Minor, Phyllis Lemoine; and juniors, Dorothy Davagian and Arthur Learned. 16 ’45 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Jane Fulton, Jean LaCoy, Dolores Stopyra, Miss Rita Mulcahy (coach), Barbara Brinck, Ann Stockwell, Grace Learned, Loretta Maynard (manager). Kneeling: Gertrude King, Ruth Rivernider, Dorothy Davagian (co-captain), Phyllis Lemoine (co-captain), Louise Lavallee, Dorothy Lemoine, and June Miller. GIRLS’ SPORTS Sutton High School may proudly recall the victories of the girls’ basketball games in 1945. It was a season of nine straight wins, thanks to good coaching on the part of Miss Mulcahy. All our games were exciting, but I believe the game played with Monson High was the most thrilling. We were warned be- forehand of a Monson player called “Pussy.” It wasn’t until her absence was revealed to us, that our knees stopped shaking. This game yielded a very satisfying victory for the Sutton girls: 26 to 16. We were cordially treated at Monson and we all appre- ciated it very much. The Brookfield game gave us a victory of 54 to 20. The smallest defeat we scored was when the green and white played a return game with the Alumni girls. This score was 27 to 26, and need I say that many fingernails were gnawed that evening. We played one other game with Oxford, and two with Upton. The girls’ team was led by its Co-captains Phyllis Lemoine and Dorothy Davagian. The other members of the team were as follows : Dorothy Lemoine, Ann Stockwell, Jane Fulton, Bar- 17 ’45 bara Brinck, Ruth Rivernider, Gertrude King, Louise Lavallee, June Miller, Grace Learned, and Dolores Stopyra. The most enjoyable part of the basketball season was the out-of-town games. Often when returning from a game, we stopped at some restaurant for a snack. I wonder if Arthur Learned and Norton Clarkson will ever forget their peppered, sugared, salted, mustard hot-dog. I know the ones who con- cocted this delicacy will never forget. Last, but not least, a word should be said in praise of the manager, Loretta Maynard, and of the cheer leaders; Alice Minor, Rita Decoteau and Claire Pechie. Thanks to their untir- ing efforts, we were spurred on to many victories. RUTH RIVERNIDER, Sports Editor. 18 ’45 BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Sidney DeYoung, Norton Clarkson, Edward MacLaren, Dunbar Plante, Mr. Robert Morris (coach), Robert Brigham, Herman Stienstra, Arthur Learned, and David King (manager). Kneeling: Chester Klewiec, Raymond Chouinard, Richard Plante (captain), George Aspinwall, Alfred Ledoux, and William Baker. BOYS’ SPORTS This year the Sutton High basketball team had a fairly suc- cessful season. With Richard Plante as captain and Mr. Morris as coach, the quintet won five games and lost seven. They de- feated Brookfield twice, and split even with Upton, Auburn, and Monson. They also lost to Leicester and Sacred Heart Academy twice. This year, for the first time, our team entered the Tourna- ment held at Clark University. Sutton was chosen to play Town- send, whose team was highly favored to win the Class C cham- pionship. Up to this time Townsend had won 19 games as against no defeats. The game ended with Townsend on the long end of a 55-80 score. Herman Stienstra, forward for Sut- ton, was high scorer in that game with 22 points. Stienstra was also high scorer for the year, with Dunbar Plante, right guard, holding honors for second place. Although we are losing Dunbar, who is graduating, we will have the following veterans for next year: Sidney DeYoung, George Aspinwall, Chester Klewiec, Robert Brigham; and a promising freshman, Raymond Chouinard. Credit should be given also to our capable manager, David King, without whom we should not have had such a successful season. ’45 19 HOW COULD YOU FORGET!
