We've seen a certain blonde around our corridors this year but she seems to be with us only physically. Last summer, Janie left her heart in the Lone Star state with the State College for Women which she will attend next year. She likes sports, band music and-yes, she doesn't deny it, boys! We'll miss you, Betty Jane, but our loss will be T. S. C. W.'s gain.

Eurtzke Margaret Atkins-Aeleze Barbetball 2, Year Boob Slaj 4 Eunice is known for her sunny smile and a disposition to match. She is on the quiet side but one is always conscious of her presence.

His winning of the Harvard Book Prize last year gives ample proof of this quality. But Lenny does not spend all of his time studying-he is very much interested in sports of which baseball is his favorite. Leonard has three colleges in mind for next fall-Brown, Cornell and Yale. Though he's not sure which one he'l1 attend we know he will be a success in the years to come.

Although at the present moment nursing is in the lead, we would not be a bit surprised to find that she chose to become a Dental Hygienest, which is almost as desirable to her as nursing.

Henry Newlonll Bewjg III-Ilernzezn The most unforgettable character we've ever met came to us this year and immediately established himself as one of the GANG. The fact that Herman was new in the school did not prove to be a handicap to him for his sense of humor continues to exist and consists mostly of verbal outbursts at opportune moments. Modestly, he admits that he can play the piano, a little, but anyone who has heard him play will reveal the truth--I-Ie's an artist. Classical, popular or boogie, simply lead him to a piano and you will hear music at its best. Donald Cortin-Don Donny is one of our class's most ardent woman-haters.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY RICHARD COAN Do you remember September 4th, 1946? You should, for on this day, we, the class of 1949, embarked on our three year period of learning. The summer was over and all of us were eager to start our new ad- venture into the unknown. Early on that September morn, several young people climbed the hills leading to the little red school houseg some more enthusiastic- ally than others, for the juniors and seniors were well accustomed to this but to us sophomores this was a new experience. Upon the ringing of the first bell of the school year we all hastened into the auditorium, being greeted by our principal, Mr. Gray, who ex- plained the various rules of the school, especially for our ears and we have kept them to the letter naturally. Then everyone was told to proceed to his home room, ours being on the second floor. Here the home room teachers gave us our study programs and as- signed us lockers which we kept locked of course, remembering, Mr. Gray's explanation of school rules. Then came classes and to our great dismay, we received homework on the very first day. This took away a great deal of our enthusiasm. Among the faculty were two new teachers, Mr. Rathbone in the English department, and Mr. Harris in the history department. After school the football candidates rushed down to the field to begin a season which was depressing at hrst but ended in a blaze of glory, a victory over Marblehead by a 15-0 count. The season was most successful, the team winning five games, while losing four but capturing the Northeastern Conference title. The sophomore class was well represented on the squad having for ends: Lenny Bloomberg, Gerard McDonough, Larry Southwick, and Don Webster. At the tackles we had- Norman jepsky, Neil johnson, Phil Lewis, joe Morse, and Henry Rothfuchs. At the guard slot were john Heath, Richard Langford, and Dan Farber while Frank Stowell performed at center. In the backfield were such speedsters as john Braccio, Gordon Brown, Dick Coan, Dave Gordon, Rocco Losano, john McCathern, Sherm Rawding, Don Richards, and Gordon Robinson. Robert Kraft was our sophomore manager. Our lone representative on the cheer leading squad was Robert Fall. While there was no music between the halves there was a band 'being formed under the capable direction of our new band leader, Mr. Donald Ham- mond. This band was beginning to show promise of future greatness. Also at this same time, the girls, not to be out- shone by the opposite sex, were downing the op- position at field hockey, suffering only one defeat, that at the hands of Marblehead. Sophomore repre- sentatives included: Nancy Crerie, Connie McGinn, Ann Enholm, Betty Jane Anderson, Barbara Easter- brooks, Natalie Brown, Dotty Bump, Audrey Farnum, Sylvia York, Ann Deehy, Mary Gannon, Lois Miller, Ruth French, Betty Foley, Carol Haskell, and Connie Laxton. About this time the school was becoming political minded with elections of class officers and student council representatives. The duties of the sophomore class for 1946-47 were placed in the hands of Donald Webster, as president, Natalie Brown, vice-president, Audrey Farnum, secretary, and Richard Coan, as treasurer. The members of our class who took a hand in running the student government were john Braccio, Dave Gordon, Gerard McDonough, Peter Redfield, and Donald Webster. On November 23, the Boosters' Club, along with the Student Council, held a Victory Dance with Herbie Shulkin's orchestra featuring Ray Dorey. A monster pep rally was held on the eve of the Thanksgiving Day tilt and earlier that day a similar rally was held in the assembly hall. Bump Hadley, sports announcer, was the speaker and correctly predicted a Swampscott victory. Later, on December 15, Christmas Carols were sung in the auditorium and a one act play, Are We Dressing, was presented. Robert Weiner was the lone sophomore in the cast. School let out on December 20, for the long awaited Christmas vacation and on that night a Barn Dance was held in the gym. After vacation the basketball squads were called out by Coach Martin and Mrs. MacI.earn. The boys' team had a winning season with seven victories and rive defeats. Sophomores who contributed their talent to the squad were Richard Torrey, Dave Gordon, Don LeBlanc, Dan Farber, Don Webster, Marty Sylvester, Norman jepsky, Dick Whitmarsh, and Sherm Rawding. 'On the other side of the gym the girls were seen practicing for what turned out to be a mediocre season. Among the players were many sophomores who added much to the efficiency of the team. Among them were Ruth French, Barbara Easterbrooks, Connie McGinn, Dotty Bump, Mar- garet Burke, Connie Rowan, and Zelda Leopold. While the basketball teams were performing in- doors, outside the hockey team, newly formed, was trying in vain to win a game. But on the team were seen such future stars as Larry Southwick, Dick Langford, joe Morse, jim Clark, and Dick Coan. The doors of the school were again closed on February 14 for the annual winter vacation. Upon return to school rehearsals were speeded up for the big play, to be held on March 20 and 21. The play chosen was Young April, an amusing comedy in three acts. Among the thespians who gave a splendid performance were the great stars of the present day stage: Gardner Howes, David Gordon, and Lois Miller. ' Now, the spring was upon us, the season when a young man's thought turns to thoughts of-baseball. The Sea Gull 45 fHa Haj Swampscott had a new coach, Mr. Bernie Friberg, former major league star. The diamond stalwarts didn't fare too well this season but our sophomore stars promise of greatness in years to come. These future stars included: Don LeBlanc, Don Webster, joe Morse, Denny Whitmarsh, and Buzzy Robinson. While the baseball team was going through routines up at jackson Park, out in the links was found the golf team. They again went through all opposition successfully until meeting Beverly, the eventual league champion. Our lone representative here was Dick Coan. Now with the school year coming to an end, our thoughts turned to those horrible tortures, final exams, which were to be a new experience for us. Most of us, however, came through with-well, came through anyway, and looked forward to a summer's vacation and a well earned rest after a hard but very enjoyable year in high school. Looking farther ahead into the unknown future we saw with anticipation fin most casesj our junior year. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY BABRARA Easrriaooks September 8, 1947 faccording to the weather reportsj was a wonderful day to buy a bantam book or some magazine, get a blanket, and lie on the beach- but it was also the day that school opened so all we lucky sun-tanned children climbed The Hill to S. H. S. Once inside, we noticed that the janitors must have been busy all summer getting the place ready for us, Poor Mrs. Kehoe-her nice clean windows were well-finger-printed already! Mr. Dunn, our new principal and former history teacher, welcomed us in opening exercises in Phillips Auditorium. We learned that the school day had been lengthened-horrible thoughts-to us, but, no doubt, music to the ears of Mr. Blossom. Next we were informed that there was no three-minute limit on the bell system. How convenient for the faithful few, n'est-ce pas? Well, we were assigned to home-rooms and went to classes long enough to jot down as- signments. Homework the first day-imagine that! -Oh well, such is life. There were several changes in the faculty. Six new teachers came to try to mal-:e students out of us. In the English department, were Mr. Drogue and Miss Gellerson, Mr. Parker and Miss MacDougal took over the history classes and Mr. Held and Mr. Emmanuelson came to fill the places in science and mathematics. We acquired Herbert john- son, Larry Durkee, and Donald Costin from the class of '-48. Herb fno bookwormj either talked about the date he wanted but never had the money on hand to take out, or the status of the fishing business at the beach. As for Larry, during the whole year he had a crush on the drill team. He seemed to like that better than books anyway! During the first few weeks the numerous activities and clubs were formed. The Student Council elected its officers: Don LeBlanc was chosen vice-president, Larry Southwick, as treasurer. The prospects for the glee club reported to the auditorium. Mr. Henshaw called for S1L'fI771PJ'C0l'I'd candidates, Mr. Hammond presented his new band and Mrs. MacLearn worked with the drill team in the gym. Of course, Coach Martin had already called his gridders together weeks before, so Mrs. MacLearn didn't lose any time putting her hockey players to work at jackson Park. Also, Miss Soper held tryouts for cheerleaders. The juniors chosen to back up our team were Caryll Fransen, Bob Fall, and Norma Palleschi. Soon after this, the junior class elected its officers. They had quite a campaign but Norman jepsky secured the president's position. Lois Miller was vice-presi- dent, Barbara Lewis, secretary, and Don LeBlanc, treasurer, ran around all year like a chicken with its head cut off-trying to collect class dues and balance the books. Mr. Drogue was the class adviser. We took the B. U. Aptitude tests sometime in October. We had looked forward to them with dreadful thoughts, but found out that they weren't really half so bad as the upperclassmen said. In fact, when we finished them, we were dismissed. Many of the boys of our class turned their interests toward football. What a season! After three straight victories, Donnie Webster stubbed his toe or some- thing and broke his collar bone. Gloucester was the usual jinx bringing the first defeat, and Marblehead's classy eleven outplayed the Sculpins to the bitter end to win 24-O. Among the lettermen of the 1947 season, the juniors were Bob Bean, Howard Dennis, Dan Farber, Dave Gordon, Norman jepsky, Neil johnson, john McCathern, Sherman Rawding, and Gordon Buzzie Robinson. Bob Kraft was one of the hard- working f?j managers. Mr. Hammond produced a snappy band to entertain the crowd before, after, and between the halves of the games. The clever acro- batics and new white uniforms of the drill team caught many an eye. The cartwheelers from the junior class were Barbara Easterbrooks, 'Ann Enholm, Con- nie Laxton, Zelda Leopold, and jean Sharp. The Boosters Club also played a great part in the fall season by augmenting it with two main eventsg first, the Football Dance the week before the Marblehead game, and second, the rally on Thanksgiving Eve. The Floradora girls dribbled through a good field hockey season with only two defeats. The junior class amazons awarded letters and jackets were Lois Miller, Dot Bump, and Barbara Easterbrooks. At the end of the season, Lois Miller was chosen as next year's captain. Then Christmas vacation came along and since there was plenty of snow that winter one could find Mac McDonough, Marty Sylvester, Ann Enholm and others over sixteen skiing and tobogganing. However, when we returned to the red house on the hill after vacation we found that cupid's arrow hit egg? nm3a 1. Court Jes 1 Kms + Qu een aMarquzs+Mar 4 Lerd -1- La 5 P.-.nce,Pf.. 6.

The day after Christmas vacation some of the boys and girls shared the gym four days a week-baskeb ball practices! The boys finished third in the North- eastern Conference, thanks to the eagle eyes of the junior class, such players as Don LeBlanc, Buzzie Robinson, Dan Farber, Dave Gordon, Ralph Davis, Frank Stowell, and Dick Whitmarsh. Denny left us wondering how he got those swishers from the corner? Ralph Davis liked the taste of the varnish on the floor for he must have fallen on it for some rea- son and that's the only plausible one The season had a very exciting conclusion with a melee at Marblehead-Poor Buzzie. As for the girls -they ran away with the North Shore feminine basketball championship that season. Their one and only loss was at Marblehead. The only junior to re- ceive her letter was Barbara Easterbrooks who was also elected as next year's captain. Last but not least S.H.S. had another ice-hockey team in the winter of 1948. Dick Coan and Norm Jepsky saw to it that they had at least three victories anyway. Once again a few of the boys of the Vocational Arts Classes presented a Hammer and Nailers' Show under the direction of Mr. Rathbone. It was called Major Bones Amateur Show . joe Tiny Morse, the announcer stepped onto the stage and gave a brief sketch of the coming event which turned out to be quite a show of laughs and talent. Come spring, the boys turned their thoughts to- ward golf, baseball, or les petites jeunes fillesf' So-Mr. Henshaw chose an excellent golf team in which Dick Coan spent his afternoons-out in the rough. Mr. jordan, Principal of the Hadley School, took over the coaching position of Bernie Friberg and turned out a winning baseball nine. Donnie LeBlanc made fielding look so simple-pub -ting away those fly-balls in left field, while pitcher Skippy McCathern threw some wicked curves. The team also had two more top players, first baseman Buz Robinson and Slugging George Gainley. At the end of the year, the captains of next year's teams were elected, Gordon Robinson, captain of basketball, Dan Farber, captain of football, Donny LeBlanc, captain of baseballg and Dick Coan, hockey captain. Spring was the season for our junior Prom which was one of the most successful socials of the year. Don LeBlanc, Dick Whitmarsh, Nancy Smith, Zelda Leopold, and others spent three or four days decorat- ing the gym and Caryll Fransen was chosen Queen of the Prom. Another highlight at school that spring was the variety show, presented to raise money for the senior yearbook. Several juniors took part in- cluding Lois Miller who showed the audience how to drive a car during intermission. Later on, the Boosters' Club gave a banquet for the athletic teams, band and cheerleaders. Swampscotts' own Bump Hadley was M.C. and Swede Nelson, guest speaker, was on hand to tell them some of his anecdotes. After dinner and speeches, the band played and the male chorus gave their rendition of the athletic season put to music. Also a few pieces of the band called The German Band played or tried to play. Anyway it was strange music to our ears. The new band was in the spotlight all during the year, Bob Weiner led its gala debut at the football games, Fenway Park, and Music Festivals. Mr. Ham- mond presented a Spring Band Concert, too. On March 5th the musical clubs combined and presented another concert, Harvey Spiller really spouted away on his sousaphone playing a solo The jolly Farmer Goes to Town - Harvey practically blew him to town. The Glee Club sang many numbers with solos by Gardner Howes, Edward Goodstein, and Pauline Carone. The Dramatic Club presented two wonderful plays during the year. In December there was Grandma Pulls the String with jean Sharp as grandma. In supporting roles were Fay Mascott, Alberta Nevler, and Edwin Eigner. Then in March, they presented their four-act play, Qmzliiy Street. June Kaufman in one of the lead roles played an old maid. Lois Miller kept the audience on their seats for she played the part of a perfect gossip. Other actors and actresses were Jean Sharp, Dave Gordon, Bob Weiner, and Gardner Howes. Throughout the year, future journalists, Carol Snow, june Kaufman, Alberta Nevler, and many others contributed to the Szuamprrolta. Around baseball season, the editors counted on sport stories so Dick Whitmarsh, Ralph Davis, and Lois Waite wasted little time in writing good ones. The humor staff did a good job as usual, as that was the page most everyone turned to when the magazines were distributed. Nor, shall we forget the water pistol fad, or the mild case of locker trouble, or cartoons of Howie Dennis and Don Costin. Thus ended an unforgettable year, a year in which a few more hopefuls joined hands and walked out of S.H.S.-that is the faithful fewi' fmembers of the class who were seen chatting together between classes almost every dayj such as Buzzie and Connie, Nancy and Donnie, Nat and Dick, and Norma and Hick. However, it is combinations like these that kept the class together all year. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY DONALD WEBSTER On the morn of September 6, 1948, we the seniors of S.H.S. started our best and most illustrious year. This is the year we had looked forward to, and the year we will never forget. To be a senior gives one the almighty senior mark. Mr, Dunn, our respected principal, soon made it known that things were well an e..-... .. ., , The Sea Gull 49 under control, and the business of school work be- gan. To brighten our dismal days of study, Mr. Crosbie, our handsome young English teacher, and Miss Lepine, who really knows her Francais, ,were welcomed to the faculty. A particular 'new'ray of hope for 1949 appeared when Paula Fischer enrolled, from way out west, George Arroll from St. Mary's, Myron Brodie from Lynn English, and Joe Tauro, our Student Council President, whose famous debates in last period history class won't be forgotten. The year marks the inauguration of the National Honor Society. Charter members from 1949 are Carol Snow, Alberta Nevler, Lois Miller, Robert Weiner, june Kaufman, Ann Deehy, Ruth French, Nancy Frost, and Fay Mascott. Turning aside from our regular studies we ap- proach the popular football season. This part of the agenda is equally studded with stars who excel in their field. Captain Dan Farber lead the gridiron speedsters to five impressive victories and four losses, with one tie. Among the victories were St. Marys where Buzzie Robinson scored three touchdowns and an extra point for good measure, Winchester, with Buzzie in action again, and Amesbury, with Red Rawding taking the headlines. This year's team had nine out of eleven seniors starting, and twenty-six out of forty-four on the entire squad. In the line were Neil johnson, Norman jepsky, Sonny Dennis, Captain Dan Farber, Al Gagne, Don Webster, joe Morse, Frank Stowell, Larry Southwick, Ralph Davis, Bobo Bean, john Braccio, joe Leone, George Clausen and Charlie Woods. In the most important backfield were Sherm Rawding, Buzzie Robinson, Roe Losano, Dick Coan, Dave Gordon, and Skippy McCathern. Our boys were cheered on by our able cheerleaders with our own Norma Palleschi, as leader captain for the season. Norma was 'backed by Barbara Cappy, Caryll Ann Fransen, and Connie McGinn. To manage the affairs of our class, we chose for president: Don LeBlanc, vice-president, Nat Brown, secretary, Norma Palleschi, and treasurer, Dick Whitmarsh and Mr. Drogue, our class adviser. Hard work on their part has proved worth while. The Swampscott High News appearing every Fri- day has been a new inovation of the year 1948-49. Alberta Nevler has been the editor with able assist- ance of reporters, Janice Smith, Jeanne Lee, james Eigner and George Arroll. Mr. Henshaw has been the faculty adviser. From the gridiron, the athletic members of '49 directed their time to the basketball court. Buzzie Robinson was the captain and proved to be an out- standing player. Don LeBlanc, the set shot artist played guard and did his share to win nine games during the regular season and the Class UA championship along with the small schools tourna- ment. Buzzie was the highest scorer on the squad with 171, Don LeBlanc was second with 142, and Dan Farber ended third with 120. Ralph Davis, Skip McCathern, Frank Stowell, and Don Webster were other members who gained varsity positions and won their letters. Although we didn't succeed in tripping Marblehead during the regular season, a nine and six record was considered a success to Coach Martin. But later on, ironically we came up against Marblehead in the tournament and defeated them. We turn now to ice hockey. Our team played some excellent hockey with Dick Coan, the captain, pulling the hat trick, or lifting it from way out, constantly. In the entire season Captain Coan scored half the goals. George Gainley, Al Gagne, Larry Southwick, and Norm Jepsky were other invaluable players. Sad part of the story, our boys won only one game. Cut Bouncing femmes, came through with the greatest season in field hockey history. Great because they won over their old rivals Marblehead. The girls have long forgotten that they proved to be the only win of the season. That eliervescent girl, Lois Miller, captained the hockeyites on this great victory. Also were Natalie Brown, manager, Connie McGinn, Barbara Easterbrooks, Ann Enholm and Ruth French. Let us not forget our glorious girls who marched out on the basketball court, all in step with Captain Barbie Easterbrooks yelling, left, two, three, four -. The glad gals of our most highly respected class who ran around the' court were Captain Barbara Easterbrooks, Pat Witter, Natalie Brown, Dorothy Bump, Betty Dow, Ruth French, Zelda Leopold, Connie McGinn, jean Sharp and Lois Waite. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach was the motto of the Home Economics Club. On full stomachs, the officers were elected and the results were joan Dunn, president, Zelda Leopold, vice- president, Dot Bump, secretary, and Nat Brown, treasurer. Our Szuanzprrolfa Staff had many seniors with Carol Snow editor-in-chief. The dramatic acti- vities of the school have always been of high order. This year has been no exception-with actors and actresses like June Kaufman, Nancy Smith, Dave Gordon, joe Tauro and Lois Miller. The class of 1949 will long be remembered for its production of I Remember Mama. Proof of its worth was found when Swampscott won the Massachusetts Drama Festival and June Kaufman won the best actress award at the festival. For still further proof Swamp- scott High School played host to the New England Festival and competed in it. This spring the fairways and baseball diamonds were alive with our athletes. Our popular president, Donald LeBlanc, captained the team and aided with several spectacular infield and batting feats. George Gainley stopped all wild pitches behind the batter, Buzzie Robinson did his level best on the mound, and Joe Tauro, stationed in the infield, played superb baseball all the way. The golf team captained by Dick Coan came out with a better than average season. F-:1--f'- f---- . . v.. ..l. 50 The Sea Gzzll In the past twelve years we have been looking forward to graduation and even in the Sophomore year the hopes of graduation seemed remote. Now the time has come and graduation has become a reality. All the friendships and good times we have had can never be forgotten. I am sure none would exchange his high school career for any other school. We shall ever be proud of Swampscott High School. CLASS PROPHECY BARBARA DENNIS GERARD MCDONOUGH Time: 1969. We were traveling slowly at 200 M. P. H. along the golden road of the rainbow. In the distance, rising above the hazy colors of the speedway, we saw a tremendous golden arch. At- tracted by the splendor of this costly structure, we approached it. As we got nearer, we .saw the dazzling name Struck-it-Rich-Scott carved in the 14 Karat gold of the arch. Looking through the arch into the panorama ahead of us, we realized that the 49'ers had reached the acme of success. Intrigued by this Utopia, we entered the town, and found that it was entirely owned by the S. H. S. class of '49, who twenty years before, after insigni- ficantly plodding through logic, Shakespeare, and the Pythagorean Theorem, had climbed aboard covered wagons, and headed for success. My chauffeur Mac informed me that the gas was running low, so we decided to junk our jetmobile-it was already two weeks old, and only 10 Karat gold. We pulled over to the side of the main street of Struck-it-Rich-Scott, and heard a loud voice booming from amidst a crowding throng. Aroused by the familiar boom of this gentle voice, we investigated and found its owner to be loc Tauro. now the barker of the Struck-it-Rich-Scott Little Theater. He was saying Is goot show, very goot show. Don't be afraid of me, come in and see. So in we went to see. In the lobbv we noticed a very large poster with the name One Too Many or Do I Remember 117611: Mama done tale me? fit would have to be a large poster to have a title like thatlj The play was pro- duced, directed, and starred in by that female Orson Welles, june Kaufman. And there to greet us was Nancy Smith, busily autographing a copy of her latest book of quips, I Remember IVIMI Mama done tble me, D--- il. Nearby was her bodyguard, Gloria Ravell, who was sitting on the stack of 15,000 unsold books - that is, minus the 14,000 promised to Don LeBlanc. Don was president of the local Booster's Club. At the end of the lobby we spied that most famous of all YALE locksmiths, Dave Gordon, who was crouching over the keyhole to the girls' dressing room. When we questioned him on his professional intent, he indignantly replied, I was just hxing the lock. Since it was opening night, the lobby was filled with characters of all sorts. The first of our old acquaintances was that versatile gentleman author, Edwin Eigner, who had just completed his 49th book, lVbat Every English Teacher Should Know. It was just an essay - the shortest of all his works - 490,000 words, Arthur Ellis was there, too, demon- strating the progress of the machine age by displaying a model of his latest invention, an automatic hair cutter. It works on the same principle as the guil- lotine, but he warns his customers not to lose their heads when they use it. Our curiosity was aroused, so we decided to see the show. Bob Fall, the ticket agent and chief accountant, managed to get us excellent seats behind a lucite post. From the ticket window we were pulled by a strange magnetic force to the candy counter. Virginia Burgess who ran the candy concession, calmed our nervous fears by explaining to us that magnetic forces were now being used to attract customers to the candy counter. This 'lcatchy' device, which attracts people by the gold fillings in their teeth, was invented by Leonard Bloomberg, world renowed physicist. After a friendly chat with Virginia - during which time we purchased 49 candy bars - we were ushered to our seats by Alan Richardson, Robert White, Carl Good- win and Roger Camillo. Respectively, they took off our coats, showed us to our seats, placed a program in our laps, and, gun-in-hand, coyly demanded a tip. We yielded to their polite request, and comfortably weighted by our 49 candy bars, we settled down to await the performance. Our golden silence was sud- denly broken by a piercing shriek. Mac helped me on with my shoes and off we dashed to investigate the source of this commotion, which happened to be backstage where we found a group of 49'ers crowded around the inert body of Nancy Frost, world-sought- after-prompter, who had gone into a dead faint from all the excitement. There was plenty of it, too, with Joe Leone, chief stage-hand, giving directions to Irene Francis and Rhoda Muchnikoff who had just returned with beer, but no pretzels, with which to revive the stricken Miss Frost. Betty Dow was being helpful by reading a remedy from her latest book of knowledge, He1'e'5 How by Dow, and was munching on one of our 49 candy bars which had fallen from our pockets in our hasty flight. Bill Riddell, Herb johnson. and john Braccio, three of Leone's more helpful spiffy, sparkling, scenery shifters were pain- fully trying to balance themselves on a piece of scenery - a picket fence. The commotion over Nancy's accident was shortly interrupted by the warn- ing bell - and we eagerly hustled back to our seats. In the remaining eight minute wait before the curtain rose we managed to consume 24 candy bars apiece. fRemember Betty Dow? She took the 49thlj As we popped the last 'bar into our mouths, the lights dimmed - the curtain went up - and we went down. Yes, the candy bars had taken their toll! Down from our seats we fell, crawled up the aisle, staggered The Sea Gull 51 through the lobby, and fell into an ambulance which was parked by the curb. We told the good-natured driver, Gordon Brown, to get us to the hospital - quick. In answer to Gordon's shrill whistle, a nurse, joan Dunn, who always was skilled in recog- nizing a whistle, entered through the back door of the ambulance, and administered what Hrst aid she still remembered from her Home Economics Classes in high school. Gordon saw that we weren't fooling when we'd said quick, for Mac's freckles had turned to a sea-green. We rode up the main street of the town, sirens blasting. joan and Gordon pointed out several of the interesting places along the route. There was a quaint Gypsy Tea Room, and through the window we could see Carol Snow who was figur- ing out by mathematical formula how to get the most out of one tea bag. Bobby Bean, in a cute little frilly apron, was serving tea. Evelyn Monahan was glid- ing from table to table selling cigarettes. Gordon told us that Teresa Pagnotta was the owner of the Tea Room, and that Shirley March slung the bulliest fortunes you ever heard. Virginia Calderan and Bar- bara Sullivan, the attractive waitresses, were tacking the evening menu on the window pane with hammer and nails. As we continued down the street, to our amazement several large bouquets of flowers came flying in through the open window. fNeed we explain why the window was open - 48 candy barslj A little card was attached to one of the bouquets. It read: If it's pains or appendix Ulcers or Gout, Flowers can cure you, And wipe off that pout. So whether you live, Or whether you die, Flowers from Zelda's To your bedside will fly. In answer to our questions joan told us that Zelda Leopold was the owner of a very smart and successful flower shop. In one of the bouquets I recognized a new type of flower, recently perfected by that horti- culturist, Howard Dennis. This new flower seemed to have a strange effect on Mac and me - we broke out with the hives. Several blocks later we discovered a hand madly clutching on to one of the bouquets. Apparently, Buzzie Robinson, chief flower-thrower of Zelda's Shop had followed through only too well on his pitch. He forgot to let go, and was hanging on through the window. Good Samaritans that we were, we stopped the ambulance, and pulled half-mangled Buzzie through the window. As we started up again, we saw an exclusive dress shop which was running a sale. Fay Mascott, its fashionable owner, was help- ing Barbara Lewis and Caryll Fransen, cover girls, select some new covers We had a hard time keep- ing Mac in the ambulance when he saw the beautiful models, Polly Hoague and jean Russell, parading around in Fay's newly designed Eary Come, Eary G0 bathing suit. Realizing Mac's dangerous condition, Gordon's foot became rigid on the accelerator, so off we sped. Let us pause to explain how it is possible for us to see all these things from a speeding ambulance. The windows of the ambulance were scientifically constructed to retain the image of the surroundings and make them pass in slow motion. We are eternally grateful to the scientist, Alan Hurley, for having in- vented this helpful device. The ambulance suddenly came to a halt, and we found ourselves in front of the hospital. But such a hospital we had never seen beforeg it was built en- tirely of glass. Three attendants, Roger Wallace, George Clausen, and Rocco Losano, pushed us through the thick glass doors, which our magnetic personalities opened automatically, on blood red stretchers. QWho know: how they got that color? H-m-m?j As we were each deposited into our rooms this little jingle greeted us over the loud speaker. -- It was sung to the tune of The Little Brown Jug. Let this hospital bring you cheer You'll be out in another year. Don't give up and lose your pluck Funerals, cheap, at half a buck! A bevy of beautiful nurses dashed into my room. Nurses, jo Ann Harris and Natalie Brown, made their grand entrance with a pile of diapers under each arm. They had evidently left the elevator on the wrong floor - the maternity ward was two floors below. I was taken back for a moment when I saw Dr. Robert Weiner enter the room. He had grown side- burns and a little goatie which was trimmed in the shape of a scalpel. fSharpy!!j With the help of his three handsome assistants, Danny Farber, Harvey Spiller, and Frank Stowell, Dr. Weiner gave me one of pharmacist Ralph Davis's less powerful sleeping pills. Unfortunately for Davis, the sleeping pill took no effect, but an egg-nog, prepared by the delicate hands of dietitian, Mary Gannon, did - and in no time I was out like a light. When I awoke the next morning, I found my room filled with visitors. Connie Delorey, superintendent of nurses at the Doll Hospital was trying to cure me with her good humor. Another nurse, Pauline, was not Daley-ing around but was busily engaged in at- tending to Mac who had come in to join the crowd. The former Norma Palleschi was there too, holding hands with her husband Donald Webster - just as they used to do in the corridors of S. H. S. Norma had just presented him with another little Hick-up. The proud papa was now a successful commercial 52 The Sea Gull artist for Denny Whitmarslfs select magazine, not Wlio's Who, but What's This? Hick went on to say that he was getting good from owner Whit- marsh and that Ed Goodstein was 'editor-in-chief of What's This ? Also on the staff were Larry Sher- lock Southwick, crime photographer, and Bob Kraft, crack sports reporter. Bob had received the Crow- bell Prize Cno relation to the Nobel Prizej for his revealing article on Dick Coan's newly patented golf- socks. Dick's socks were advertised with the slogan, With these socks on, you too, can easily get a hole-in-one. ' The time went by all too quickly and head nurse Jean Sharp called the visiting hour to a close. From out of our glass walls Mac and I sadly watched them depart into two of Lenny Gerber s Hot-Rod Taxies. I prayed hard for their salvation as they turned the corner on one wheel. The egg-nog and the sleeping pill must have had a highly medicinal effect, for Mac and I left after two days, cured of our candy-bar-itis. As we left the hospital we bumped into Dick Kessel, man-about town, who had been living up to his worldly title by visiting all the nurses. He graciously offered to drive us back to town in his new, atomic-powered Shmooic. Our first stop was at a large garage where we saw this tremendous sign: Don,t despair When you ride on pins Tires are lixed By Don Hopkins. Working at Don's establishment were mechanics, Walter Sargent and Henry Rothfuchs who shined up the car with the latest of automobile shampoos - Marjorie's Luster Creme Symond-iz. We had just fastened our safety belts when a large white truck driven by muscle-men Whip Torrey and Charlie Woods, came rolling in. The boys were working for Iepsky and Morse's Sunny-day Diaper Service. Nor- man and joe were reported to be cleaning up. Further down the road we were alarmed at the sight of Barbara Dubrow on ten foot stilts. She was carrying a large sign and walking back and forth in front of a restaurant. The sign read: Come in Before We Both Starvef' We took the risk and entered. We were welcomed by owners, Barbara Nickerson and Audrey Farnham. The girls, now married to their childhood sweethearts, had collaborated to establish the restaurant. Perched on a shaking gold microphone was none other than that sultry chantreuse of popular songs, Pauline Carone. She was warbling a very be- witching tune - Chop Suey Blues, written by band leader and composer, George Groesbeck. The six piece band consisted of June Larson, clarinetistg Paul Cheney, chief baboon - that is basoon playerg Neil johnson, piccolo playerg Ann Deehy on the Wind Pipes, and Diane Vernava who was adding the jungle touch with a tom-tom. The band was really hot, too hot, for we had to retire to the next room. There we spotted Connie Laxton who was giving someone a Buzz' on the telephone. We eavesdropped and heard her say that Handsome Harry Sylvester had just brought his 49th marriage to a close. You see, he was a justice of the Peace. From the con- versation - which was hard to decipher for romantic reasons - we gathered that Sylvester was in compe- tition with that great Reformer, Minister Gardner Howes. Gardner, retired from his job of pulling 'backstage curtains, was devoting himself to pulling on the heartstrings of his congregation. After our short sojourn at the Farnham-Nickerson Restaurant, we headed for the Struck-It-Rich-Scott Center. Plastered on one of the bill boards was this advertisement: Big Deals Performed By: George Arroll, Myron Brodie, and Charles Howard. Eunice Atkins, their secretary, appeared on the billboard in picture form to attract attention. As we entered the center of the town we nearly ran over a group of assorted children - who, like chickens, were flying in every direction. Ruth French and jean Huse, mistresses of the Quiet Your Kid- dies Kindergarten, were madly pursuing their brood. At last we found ourselves in front of a three story, three block building, the town tavern. It dif- fered from most taverns in that it served only soft drinks - including Micky Finn Floats, Zombie Sodas and Gin',ger ale. Wlien Dick Kessel, who was still driving UQ, told us that Betty jane Anderson and Don Richards were its owners, we decided to pay our old friends a visit. Betty and Don had converted their Lonely Hearts' Club into a successful tavern because there just weren't any more lonely hearts in Struck-it-Rich-Scott. The inside of the tavern had been attractively decorated by Mary Leone and Pat Ledbury, those femmes de fashion of interior decorating. We walked into the tavern to the quiet thumping of Henry Berry's Blue-Berry Boogie. There sitting on the top of the upright piano was 'Ioan Conniers, playing the left hand base with her toes. Yes, here was Bunny's inspiration! At the soda fountain, where we ordered the specialty of the day, Harry Edson, owner, was writing the menu with whipped cream on the mirrored wall. Ethel Bray assisted him in serving his Terrible Triple Threat. At the far end of the bar we almost failed to recognize Bootsie Nevler who was sitting with a French beret pulled down over both eyes. She was . - 6- - ag --4-G-Y - The Sea Gall 53 practising for her first conversation with a French diplomat and repeating over and over again the two words still remembered from High School French - Bonjour, Monsieur, bonjourf' Sitting beside Al- berta, smoking a short black stogie, was the dis- tinguished Mayorerr of the town, Lois Miller. We found, buried under the smoke from Lois's stogie, that 500-word-a-minute stenographer, janet Leach, who was taking dictation. In the rear of the tavern, a troup of local girls, who danced at the U.S.O., started to go through their routine. Dorothy Bump, who always had an aptitude for entertaining sailors, led the troup. Two of the girls, Margaret Burke and Beryl Doliber, were tap- ping out a new number called, Hip-Hip-Hooray! The main attraction of the show featured Ann Enholm and Barbara Easterbrooks, those two ex- Ziegfield girls, in their famous acrobatic dance, The Nilzby Spin. Over in the corner was Richard Perry fsame as cverj with his back towards the girls. XVe looked over his shoulder and saw him shaking gold coins out of his magic trumpet. Glancing at my watch I saw that if we wanted to get any other stores before closing time we would have to hurry. Marjorie Clausen, the tavern's cashier, gave us our bill and we passed out. jim Hendry, owner of Ye Olde Moldy Pastry Shoppe, had a unique display window. It was filled with two of the cutest li'l sweethearts, Carol Haskell and Deloris Turner. Tramp McCathern was stand- ing out in front of the Shoppe with his nose pressed against the window pane. Behind the counter were four luscious cream puffs: jean Cooney, Paula Fischer, Connie McGinn and Shirley Livermore-who were consuming more than they sold. The shop was filled with celebrities. We spied that widely-read sport writer Lois Waite, who excitedly told us that Larry Durkee had just received his golden opportunity. He had been given a contract to landscape the ground of the new town hall. Sherman Rawding, who, in partnership with Al Gagne, George Gainley and Ken Prideaux owned a successful Department Store across the street, came in to get change for a 35500 bill. Grace DiLisio and Barbara Cappy, buyers for the Department Store, followed Sherman to help him carry his heavy load of change. Shirley Jeffers was also working for Rawding. She wrote those smart and humorous ads for the newspapers. We walked across the street with them to the large store. As soon as we entered salesgirls Phyllis Corso and Nancy Fellows greeted us and began to talk over old times with me. Mac spotted Don Costin, who was at the head of the sporting goods section. Don was such a good salesman that he sold his whole department to Mac. I entered the woman's clothing department and bumped into Pat Witter, who was a successful journalist. She was buying an expensive gown from designer Sylvia York, the occasion being a literary cocktail party which was to be held the next night. All the writers in Struck-it-Rich- Scott were getting together at Pat's home to decide which color ink was better, blue or black. We bought some cast iron jewelry tvery rare in that town of goldj from Carol Rich, who owned that concession, and left the store. Once on the side- walk, wc noticed a sign a block away that read: Leo Wiltshire: Fine Photography. Vifhen we walked by the studio, Arlene Rose waved to us. She managed Leo's ohice fa trick she must have learned at S. H. SJ Next to the studio was the Be Young Beauty Salon, which was owned by Carol Young. lhe salon was famous for a new-type facial which removed freckles . . .' the only drawback was that it removed the skin, too. Mac and I thought for a long time about what we had s-ecn in Struck-it-Rich-Scott-our old friends and their happy and successful lives. Perhaps there is a pot of gold, not only for the 49'ers but for everyone. Yes-the future looks good over the rainbow.

THE SEA GULL This year the baby Sea Gull let go of mama Swfz111prt'0lfr1'i' hand and took its first few steps for- ward-alone. With the coming of its independence the Sea Gull lost its allowance from the Swumprcotin and all funds had to be raised by ads and sub- scriptions to the year book itself. The job of soliciting ads were handled very efiiciently by Fay Mascott and her staff from the SZlJc1l1llDJ'L'0fftl and Lois Miller, business manager, was in charge of subscriptions. The problem of collecting snapshots was handled by Harvey Spiller. Mr. Held and the Camera Club helped a great deal in taking the pictures and there were many to choose from. The layout of the pictures was done by Zelda Leopold and Ruth French, art editors. The week after the April vacation the last odds and ends were collected, typed, and sent to the printers. What is now set before you whether or not it is successful is the result of many weeks of blood, sweat, and tears.

THE SXVAMPSCOTTA STAFF The Sruanzprcolfa has now completed its twenty- hrst of publication, and has lived up very well to the new responsibilities that a young adult shoulders. Carol Snow, Editor-in-Chief, did a fine job of lead- ing our magazine to the high spot among high school literature that it deserves. 'Alberta Nevler, Ed Goodstein, Margaret Hake, and Sally Sexton-the Associate Editors, did a fine job of compiling the magazine, and introduced many good ideas into the publication. Patricia Witter headed the Alumni Column, doing a terrific job of keeping in touch with the many S. H. S. Alumni. june Kaufman served as Activities Editor, and did a very interesting and complete piece of work. Connie Delorey was the Humor Editor, and, by a strange coincidence, did this task with a smile-and you all know what a terrific job she did! Zelda Leopold, our artistic little Art Editor, showed excellent judgment and good taste in all her work. Eddie Eigner, Lois Waite, and Bob Kraft did a really professional job in their sports write-ups. And George Arroll headed a very elhcient group of exchangers as Exchange Editor-he got many good ideas out of the publications from our surrounding schools, and we, in turn, gave our neighbors many suggestions on 'How they too could have a successful magazine' Fay Mascott did a splendid job as Advertising Manager, and Lois Miller, as Business Manager, was kept busy guarding the finances of twenty-one year old Swampfrolla. This year a Srvrzmprrolla Suggestion Box was placed in room 105, and many of the ideas that sprang from the fine minds of our S. H. S. students were carried out. The .S'ZUdllZf.fL'0flfl Staff gives its best wishes for continued success to next years group, with the hopes that the magazine will improve more and more as the years go by-as it has for the past twenty-one years. 60 The Sea Gull HONOR SOCIETY Alberta Nevler.

The Student Council also played an important part in raising funds for the Businessmen's Scholarship Drive by selling raffle tickets. The Council had also started making plans to raise money for a gift to the High School but their adviser, Mr. Parker, was taken ill and the plans had to be postponed. 62 The Sea Gull CAST FOR I REMEMBER MAMA First row: Carol Turner.

CAMERA CLUB Again this year Mr. Held agreed to advise and encourage a Camera Club. The Club, meeting about once a month, did not have any olticers and its meetings were informal get-togethers. Several lectures were given by various members of the club, one of which was a talk and demonstra- tion by Irwin Wallace on how pictures can be developed in a tank without a surplus of photo- graphic material. Other talks by Mr. Arthur Lalime discussed how cameras can be used to the best advantage and what to look for when buying a camera. On March 16, Mr. Albert Lalime gave a demonstration of printing, enlarging and developing of prints and negatives to the club and other members of the student body that were interested. The small but conscientious group of members criticized each other's prints and slides at the meetings. The Camera Club supplied some pictures to the S1lf'd71ipJ'L'0Ilc1 which were used and enjoyed by all the school. We are conndent that in future years that Camera Club will continue to thrive and some year will be one of the larger activities at S. H. S. The Sea Gull .

BAND The Swampscott High School Band is now a full- Hedged member of the school's extra-curricular activities. 49 was the second complete year that the band performed. The band appears at football games during the autumn-has a concert season highlighted by their annual concert, and attends music festivals during the spring. During the exciting football season, the bands music and marching added much color to the games, the Hrst program being given at the recital of all four bands QBeginners, junior High, High School, and A bandj on February 2. The A band played at both the High School and junior High School Glee Club Concerts, The Women's Club Concert, and Children's Concert for the Teachers' Association. The annual Band Concert was presented April 8, with Professor Warreii Freeman fband director of Boston Universityj as guest conductor. Continuing the series of distinguished guest soloists, the band had the honor of playing with Mr. john Coffey Ir., trombonist of Boston Symphony. The band partici- pated in the Massachusetts Band Festival at New- buryport, and North Shore Band Festival in Lynn. Also, the Rotary Club invited the band to play at their Convention at the New Ocean House. We seniors were fortunate that the same year we arrived at the High School, Mr. Hammond came to take over the reins as Band Director. Many of us took advantage of the opportunity offered, and we enjoyed a wonderful experience. We look forward to continued success and achievement by the band and its personnel. .l . ww, The See: Gull 65 SWAMPSCOTT HIGH SCHOOL MALE CHORUS Seated, left to right, Alvin Anderson, Edward Goodstein, Richard Nordin, Robert Torrey, loseph Eigner, Iumes Eigner.

THE ART CLUB The Art Club was instituted this year with the aid of Miss Chaisson as faculty adviser. The club was organized to include those pupils who found that they lacked time for art during school hours, and also to study different phases of art and their practical application. Field trips have helped in giving both factual information and appreciation. These trips have consisted of the movie Hamlet for ap- preciation of costume and stage design, a visit to the studio of Francis, Rhonstock, and Reynolds to witness the complete process of making stained glass windows, and a tour of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a replica of a Venetian palace, to see its works of art, and the annual display of Easter flowers. The ofiicers for the past year were Carol Snow, president, Ruth French, secretary, and Carol Young, chairman of the program committee. Other members were Margery Bass, Sandra Brenner, Alphe Butman, Beryl Doliber, Nancy Fellows, Dorothy jepsky, Zelda Leopold, Anne Malone, Dorothy McCarthy, Har- riett Pearlman, Carol Rich, and Marjorie Symonds. .CQ- Tbe Sm Gull 67 lr- 1.

The first day was spent in traveling to New York, where the group spent the night at the Piccadilly Hotel, after touring Radio City and seeing an ice show. The second day they stayed at the York- towne Hotel in York, Pennsylvania. During the day they visited historic Independence Hall in Phila- delphia and beautiful Valley Forge. After being shown the battlefields of Gettysburg, the group went through the Shenandoah Valley and Caverns, then spent the night in the small town of Newmarket, Virginia.

FOOTBALL The Swampscott High School football team opened their 1948 season with a bang by rolling over the first three opponents to meet them in grand style. They lost to Gloucester 12 to 14 but obtained a moral victory as at the half and at the end of the game the Sculpins were only a few scant yards from the enemy goal line. In the next game they beat weak Winthrop but from this point they did a sudden reversal. Except for victory over Amesbury and a tie with Newburyport the rest of the season was a dismal failure. The final blow fell when our traditional rivals, Marblehead, trampled us to the tune of 24 to nothing. The team was composed of seniors who copped all but two of the starting positions. The Sculpins this year were especially characterized by their ability to work together as a unit and a friendly spirit existed throughout the season.

The boys learned much about hockey under his tutelage which should make for a better all- around team in the next few years with hockey now on the up-grade. The following boys received their letters this season: Robert Collins, goalieg George Gainley and Alan Schactman, defensemeng John Carden and Paul O'Connor, wingsg and Richard Coan at center. The second line was formed with Bill Karlyn centering, for wings, Larry Southwick and Everett Morse. Norman jepsky and Fred Carone also took part until injured. The spare defenseman was Albert Gagne.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team of '49 split even this year with four wins and four defeats. The schedule was a difficult one to tackle yet the girls on the varsity came through with a sophomore, Nancy Fish tallied 44 points and Barbara Easter- biooks scored 17 points before fracturing her ankle in the third game of the season at Beverly. Nancy Warnock, one of last years players scored 13 points and newcomer, Ann Linares scored 11 points. The varsity guards did a superb piece of work on the defending half of the court. Faith Hurwitz proved herself to be the most valuable player again this year and was well assisted by Pat Witter and Sally Smith. The Floradora Girls couldn't seem to defeat the Winthrop Sextet this year at all but they did beat all the other teams at least once. Best of luck to the girls' basketball squad of 1950, and here's hoping you'll turn the tables on those Winthrop girls! The basketball team of '49 wishes to express its appreciation to Coach Flora MacLearn for all she has done to make the season a good one.
