Sutton Memorial High School - Exitus Yearbook (Sutton, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1954 volume:

We, the class of 1954, in order to express our sincere appreciation for the helpful advice and counselship which they have extended to us, dedicate this “Exitus” to Mrs. Marian Maris and Mr, TenBroeck Cornell. 1 Editorial As the month of June descends upon us, the Class of 1954, it brings ever nearer the termination of our fruitful and golden high school days at Sutton High. Our four years of preparing for life’s toilsome road at Sutton High have no doubt been of profound influence on each one of us. The faculty with their sound judgment, guidance, and tireless ways, together with the many true friends each of us has acquired at S. H. S. will serve as constant reminders of these four enlightening years. Our class, the seventy-eighth class to graduate from Sutton High, will do so in the year which marks the 250th anniversary of our town. We also have had the distinct honor of being the first class to complete four years of high school in the new high school building. We began our high school days as the first Freshman class in the new Sutton Memorial High School with many new facilities available to us. As we make preparations to depart from Sutton High and leave the protected life which has been afforded us to walk the road of life as individ- uals, we must not forget those who have made all this a reality. Primarily, we must thank our parents for we owe them much. Since our childhood, they have cared, sheltered, looked after, and even sacrificed much for us. Our teachers then took on the task to mold us into responsible men and women. So as we look back on the past, we have much to be thankful for and many to thank for what we may be. We also have much to look forward to in the future and with the help of God, it will be successful for us all. Roderick Lavallee 2 30 Principal MR, ALLISTON C. WETHERELL A.B. and Education M.

The new school was a marked improvement over the previous year spent at the Town Hall. Having assembled our class of forty in room 206 with Mr. Flanagan as our class advisor, we elected the following class officers: President, Roddy Lavallee; Vice-President, Shirley Burgess; Secretary, Janice Jernberg; Treasurer, Loretta Amour; A.A. Treasurer, Mary Black. In the following month of October we were placed at the mercy of the Sophomore class during our initiation. In March we sponsored the Sophomore Return Party. After a pleasant summer spent by all, we reassembled in room 206 with our class advisor, Mr. Flanagan. We then proceeded to elect class officers as follows: President, Shirley Burgess; Vice-President, Roy Grandone; Secretary, Alice Szewerenka; Treasurer, Barbara Lewis; A. A. Treasurer, Bette Chausse. It was our extreme pleasure to initiate the new Freshman class. In order to raise funds for our Senior year we presented a Comedy Basketball game in March. During the last semester our principal, Mr. Sullivan, left our school and soon after, to our dismay, we were informed of Mr. Flanagans’ departure in June. vVe returned the following September and reconvened in our home room under the supervision of our new class advisor, Mr, Cornell. Without any further procrastination we elected our class officers: President, Roderick Lavallee; Vice-President, Roy Grandone; Secretary, Janice Jernberg; Treasurer, 18 Barbara Lewis; A. A. Treasurer, Bette Chausse. Under the guidance of Mr. Cornell we presented two suppers which added sizeable sums to our class funds. We returned the following September after our summer vacation with renewed enthusiasm to successfully complete our final year at Sutton High School. W ithout further ado we elected our class officers: President, Roderick Lavallee; Vice-President, Jenny Szewerenka; Secretary, Alice Szewerenka; Treasurer, Bette Chausse. We were immediately confronted with the skeptical problem of raising enough money to meet expenses for the annual Senior trip to vVashington, since we had such a large class. October brought our two major projects: the annual Chicken Supper, which was held on October 17, 1954, and the rehearsing of the Senior play. We successfully presented the play, “June Mad”, to a large audience on November 14. The Senior class sponsored the Valentine Ball, February 13. By selling tonic and candy during the basketball season and also having a few dances, we were able to obtain enough funds for our graduation and Senior trip. We are proud to be the first class to terminate four years at Sutton Memorial High School, and we wish to thank those who have helped make our years at this school a pleasant and worthwhile experience. Loretta Amour Richard Caldbeck Elaine Boutilier 19 I Roddy Shir 1 Joan Ethel Jenny Alice Elaine C Elaine 3 Ba rb John r - 4 H P Rich Class Prophecy The newspaper advertisement read--“Gail Mathewson to appear at the Metro- politan Opera House--June 15, 1964.” Who would dream that the twenty-five pupils comprising the Class of ’54 would emerge to such noteworthy fame and prominence. Immediately preceding this discovery, each member of the class vowed to himself that he would not miss it. Thus, with absolutely no knowledge of the intentions of the remainder of the class, a reunion was under way. It was still early in the evening of June 15, when a limousine drew to a stop in front of the Metropolitan and a beautifully dressed girl, Loretta Amour, was assisted out by a well dressed man. Alongside the limousine stopped a Cadillac and out stepped Phil Edwards. After much scrutinizing, they recognized each other. Hearty greetings were exchanged; they then fell into conversation, each disclosing what the many years had wrought. Loretta, after leaving S.H.S., got a job with an insurance firm. After six short months she married her wealthy boss and thus retired into a life of leisure. Phil, likewise, did well for himself. He fulfilled his high school ideas of being a farmer. He now owns a successful farm and is making money hand over first. Heading toward the door, they saw a car speeding down the highway and in a flash come to a stop in front of them. They could hardly believe their eyes, when Donald Moore along with his family greeted them. He then joined them in summing up his past ten years. It seems that Doc started a garage business, which turned out quite successfully. Just as the group reached the entrance, they met Judy Freeland. She ]r,.ked sophisticated in her well chosen clothing. Smiling, Judy replied that she was still engaged in her teaching profession. While talking to Judy, they observed an anxious figure pushing her way into the ticket line. ‘‘Why, it’s Janice JernbergI ” She was soon summoned and quickly joined the growing group. Jan briefly explained her oc . atio’ ' -.as nursing. Although she was married, she had taken such a sine re ’ove for it, she could not give it up. Conversation was then resumed, mainly concentrating on th ' ' ' L ss p ay and trip. Right in the midst of laughter and tears, Bette Chausse walkeu th- ' . agh the door. All ‘oh’d” and “ah’d” at the beautiful dress and equisite je elry she wore. Yes, interior decorating and Bette seemed to agree. The happy group pushed their way into the hall. To their great sui ise Bob Craw walked over to them and disclosed after leaving the Navy, he completed a course in Physical Education and is now happy in his work. They then resumed walking. They did not get far when they saw Roy Crandone. But he was not alone; he had Mrs. Crandone and seven little Crandones. Everyone knew Roy’s fame as a baseball player, thus no questions were necessary. Just as they reached the top of the stairs, they came face to face with Richard Caldbeck. He relieved their questions by telling of his profession as an engineer. He said he loved his job and found it very interesting. They had only advanced a few steps, when they saw Shirley Burgess. She was accompanied by her husband and two children. After shedding a few tears on Janice’s shoulder, she revealed that after leaving Sutton High School, she went to college, after which she taught for two years. She is now happy keeping house. The show had already begun when the now enormous group finally reached the seats. In the front row they spotted Edmond Peladeau with Mrs. Peladeau. Roy invited him along with the rest. Ed’s story was short but interesting. He told of his experience as a farmer, having his own farm and enjoying every minute of it. I After walking a few more feet they heard a few soft voices calling and to their surprise saw Eleanor Godbout, Elaine Corriveau, and Ethel Zuidema. Ten years hadn’t separated those three. Of course they were all married. Ethel married right after graduation. Eleanor was presently engaged in hairdressing. She had fulfilled her high school dreams. Elaine also went through with her high and noble aspirations of being a policewoman; much to the surprise of her former classmates. They then joined the group in search for seats. Just as they were seated Gail appeared on the stage. The whole class wept as they listened to her wonderful singing. At the conclusion they all decided to go back stage and congratulate Gail. On the way down they ran into Roddy Lavallee. He was still wiping his eyes with his handkerchief. Between sobs he informed the class of his success in teaching. He also was happily married. At the bottom of the steps the class spotted Jenny Szewerenka. Everyone exchanged greetings while she rubbed her red tear stained eyes. She then told of her many pleasant experiences of modeling. She was at the present time making preparations to go to Paris with the modeling agency. She also mentioned that Alice Szewerenka was at the present time stationed in Africa, as a missionary. Alice loves her work; she wouldn’t change for anything. Upon reaching their destination they found that someone had already approached Gail; it proved to be Barbara Lewis. Barbara related her many pleasant experiences as medical secretary and even more sO;her satisfaction as a wife and mother. After greeting Barb, Joan Cote and Elaine Boutilier literally bumped into us all as they came from opposite directions. Joan had taken an office job at the M.P.A. after graduation and said she was now happily married with four children. Elaine’s private secretary job in Whitinsville proved fortunate, as she married her boss’ son. Harry Smity, Bill Vasalofsky, and John Freeland with Patricia Paquette in tow, ran up to us with shouts and laughter. Pat said she had enjoyed a short year working as a typist before she settled down to raise a family (five children so fa r ). Harry was completely devoted to his trucking firm, no marriage as yet, and Billy’s time was occupied with his very successful Variety and Newspaper store. John smiled broadly as he explained that he was the owner of a prosperous chicken farm. Indeed all the members of the Class of ’54 have done well. The program was wonderful, but even made more so by the thrilling encounter experienced by twenty-five people, who ten years ago all lived in the town of Sutton and were graduated from S. H. S. on the seventeenth of June, 1954.

It consisted of many popular classics along with numerous other numbers. All in all, this has been a very successful and fun packed year for the Glee Club. Shirley Burgess, pianist, and Vesta Helgesen, assistant pianist, are also largely responsible for the success of our Glee Club. The officers of the Glee Club are: President, Roddy Lavallee; Vice-President, Roy Grandone; Secretary, Barbara Lewis; Treasurer, Janice Jernberg. 36 Student Council FIRST ROW: Billy Jernberg, Michael Roussel, Philip Edwards, Sidney Frieswick, Roddy Lavallee, Herbert Chase, John Cobiski, Zygmund Stockmal.

Boys Sports The 1953-1954 edition of the varsity basketball team opened the season with high hopes, having won the championship the previous year. However, fate seemed to be against the Green and White. Inexperience showed up in the first few games of the season. Close upset defeats plagued the Sutton cagers in the early games, and at the end of half the season we had a record of three victories and seven defeats. Yet the Sutton hoopsters were not to be denied a certain amount of success. Paced by co-captains, Edmond Peladeau and Roy Grandone, and our surprising freshman, Ronald Annis, under the guidance of Coach Donald Sabolinski, Sutton was able to win six and lose three over the last half of the season. On the basis of our late season success the team was invited to the Townsend Invitational Tournament. Sutton coring was as follows: Peladeau-261 , Grandone-2 1 9, Annis- 158, Edwards-128, Judson -98, St. Jean-40, Lavallee-29, Smith-28, Chase-19, Whittier-l6, 40 and Moore-15.
