H. S. full of vim and vigor. To those who lived in Baldwinville, the school on the top of the hill was a familiar one but to those who lived in the other three precincts the building was very strange. The little greenhorns were very subdued as they searched for their new home rooms. We got started right away on our election of class officers and chose the following: President, Ado Tenaglia, Vice-President, Janet Ackerleyg Secretary, Elaine Gallant, Treas- urer, Stanley Zalewski, and Student Council representative, Raymond Ambrose. Our class advisor was Miss Harvey. For our special assembly we planned a program which consisted of poems, songs, and speeches by members of our class, and the little greenhorns did a very good job. Then came the one-act plays in which we presented a comedy called Life with Tommief' We did a very good job with it, but since the Seniors had so much more experience and talent they won the cup. Well, we said, we still have three more years to try for it. But we got fooled. The town hall, which was next to the fire station, burned down as you all know, so we never had a chance to prove our skill again and win the cup. Now came our Sophomore year at good old T. H. S. The green had faded away and in its place was a group of sophisticated Sophomores. Now that we had become acquainted with the place we felt more at ease in the school on the top of the hill. We began to enjoy ourselves. We got off to another early start by electing the following officers: President, Ado Tenagliag Vice - President, Cecelia Koziolg Treasurer, Raymond Grucang Secretary, Aileen Graves, Student Council Representatives, Raymond Ambrose and Avis Harring- ton. Since Miss Harvey had left us, we chose Miss Guenther as our class advisor. Our first big event this year was the annual Valentine Dance. It was held on February 8, 1946 in the high school gym, with music furnished by Dick Hill's Blue Jackets. The dance was a great success and enjoyed by everyone. Now came our Junior year at T. H. S. This was a busy year but we all had fun. We started off by electing the following class officers: President, Rodney Bourn, Vice- President, Cecelia Koziolg Secretary, Aileen Graves, Treasurer, Alfred Agnellig and Stu- dent Council Representatives, Avis Harrington, Raymond Ambrose and Irene Graves. On Friday, the 13th of December 1946, we held our Frost Frolics Dance in the gym, with music by Dick Hill's Blue Jackets, but true to form, Friday the 13th proved to be unlucky. Not only was the weather rather frosty but we had some anxious moments wondering if the orchestra would show up. Just as we had about decided we would have to give the guests canned music our troubles vanished, the orchestra appeared -- the dance got under way and, as usual, we all had a wonderful time. Then came the problem of class rings. Since the Balfour representative arrived un- announced we had to gather up a committee on the spur of the moment. Miss Guenther 8 thought that the class officers would be a representative group, so we went down to look at the rings. We finally made a selection which the class all agreed upon, and of course, we think our selection has been one of the best ever made. May 16, 1947 was a big event for us. On this date we held our Junior Prom in the gym with music by Don Calvi. It was a very sociable and gay party highlighted by the election of a Junior Prom Queen and her attendants. Our queen was Cecelia Koziol. For our class assembly this year, we presented a one-act play, trumpet solos accordian solos, and singing, thus ending our Junior year. After a short peaceful summer vacation we entered into our very busy, hectic and happy Senior year. That was the year for fun, gaiety, and loads of work. Yes, we worked hard this year, but since it was for such a good purpose, we didn't mind it at all. The class officers of this all important year were .the following: President, Rodney Bourng Vice-President, Cecelia Koziolg Secretary, Aileen Graves, Treasurer, Agnes Wax- laxg and Student Council Representatives, Marilyn Quinlisk, Avis Harrington, Ado Tenaglia, and Raymond Grucan. During the course of the year, Avis dropped out and Leo Dennis was elected in her place. This was the year in which our complete aim was focused on the idea of making a Senior class trip a real possibility. We scrapped, scratched and scraped to get money together for this trip. We got the reputation of being the tightest class in T. H. S. but we didn't care. We couldn't afford to waste a nickel if all the class was to go on the trip. We started the year by holding a Fall Festival Dance in the gym. This was on October 2, 1947, and music was furnished by Don Calvi. On December 18, 1947, we, as the Senior Class, acted host to the other three classes by having a Christmas party. We had three skits, accordion solos, trumpet solos, and music directed by Mr. Bone. After the entertainment and refreshments, gifts and cards were distributed. Santa Claus showed up, but without his customary suit which he had outgrown. The remaining time was spent in dancing and everyone had a good time. This year the Seniors changed the coarse of events and added a Minstrel Show to their achievements. This was given on January 28 and 29 in the G. A. R. Hall in East Templeton. Every member of the Senior class participated in the show and it was a great success financially and artistically. lt certainly indicated what a talented class we were. On April 14 and 15, we put on our annual Senior Class play. It was held in the Grange Hall in Templeton. Again we showed how versatile we were. Instead of putting on a mere comedy we put on a real mystery called Ramshackle Inn. The cast did a won- derful job under Miss Taylor's direction and the play was a huge success. On the bright and happy morning of May 12, 1948, we all felt rather important. You see, on this morning as the unfortunate Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors were arriving to go to classes we gathered outside the portals of T. H. S. ready to start on the big trip to Washington, D. C. which we had worked so hard to make possible. We stopped in New York for the night and attended Radio City. The next morning we left New York for Washington for a four day tour which included a tour of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, a visit to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, a visit to the Smithsonian Museum, the White House, the National Zoological Park, a two hour tour of the Department of Justice Building, under the direction of Edgar Hoover's G-Men, a visit to the Capitol, the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery in Ar- 9 lington, Virginia, a visit to Mount Vernon, Virginia, and a ride back to New York and thence home again on the sixth day. Not least in this crowded schedule was some hurried studying to prepare us for our final examinations, and then with a sigh of relief we turned to our final big event of our school life, our big week in June - - Class Week. This brings us to the present, June 8, 1948 our Class Night. You have already heard the Welcome address of our President, Rodney Bourn, and we hope, as We proceed with the rest of the program that it will be a Wonderful evening of fun for all. On Thursday evening many of you, our friends and relatives, will be gathered here at the school again for a more solemn occasion, our Graduation Exercises, and for many of us this will mean the end of our formal education. For others it will mean going on again. Our final event of the year, will be the Senior Ball to take place on Friday evening, June ll. This will mark an end.to four short years of Work and play at T. H. S. of the Class of 1948. AILEEN GRAVES, Secretary 10 PAUL L. ADAMS HB. J. Baldwinville Agricultural MB. J. is one of our Aggie boys. Quiet in school but not always so outside of school.

BOURN President of the Class of I 948 20 IVY ORATION Mr. Stinson, members of the faculty, fond parents, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we are gathered here to participate in an evening of fun and enjoyment. Intermingled with this festivity, however, is a note of seriousness. We, as Seniors at Templeton High School, have but finished our affiliation with this school. We will shortly take our places as members of a democratic society. Each one of us must contribute our small share to make this society truly democratic. Let us pause a moment and examine that word democracy and its application to society. As we look back through our histories we are continually reminded that democ- racy is an integral part of American society. It is something that has been passed on to us from our forefathers. It is a symbol of the United States. It is a heritage that is beyond monetary value. Men have died to preserve it. Men have suffered privation and disaster to perpetuate it. Today we are trying to give it to the rest of the world by extending aid to devastated and despondent countries. We talk about our rights, our great democ- racy, but how many of us can actually define democracy, and more important, how many of us really live democracy? To be a powerful force, to be the shining symbol of freedom and hope to the entire world, democracy must be alive. We must live democracy. Not one or two, not a handful of people, not a minority, but everyone of us - you and I, our next door neighbors, all Americans, all peoples from the smallest hamlet in the world to the largest metropolis, from the smallest country in the world to the largest nation. Then, and only then, will democracy be alive and will all peoples be free. Freedom and democracy are inseparable. One cannot be had without the other. Any nation that at- tempts to separate these two is struggling in the darkness. As we listen to our news-broadcasts, as we glance at the headlines in the news- papers, as we read our many magazines, how many of us are cognizant of the fact that after 1900 years, our society, which we believe is so highly civilized, which we brag about as being so progressive, is still searching for peace and happiness. Even here in our own country some of us are still trying to get freedom for everyone, regardless of race, creed or color. Think of it, ladies and gentlemen, we, who are the symbols of free- dom to the rest of the world, do not practice our own democratic beliefs. Look at the President's Civil Rights Program and the furor it has caused throughout certain sections of the nation. Forty-eight years after the battle between the states, when this whole question was supposed to have been settled, we are still fighting, verbally at least, as to whether certain people are human beings, endowed with the same rights as every other human being, or whether they are to be considered as animals, subject to the rule of their masters. Think of it! Such a situation in our own democratic society. Together with this situation we as a nation are faced with the question of com- pulsory military training and another draft. In less than three years after the second world holocaust we are preparing for a similar, but larger and more deadly war. This preparation has become a necessity because a large, powerful, gigantic, ismistic nation has decided to expand and enslave certain peoples in order to force its atheistic, mate- rialistic, lavish philosophy on other nations of the world. Yet we, as society, call our- selves the highly civilized twentieth century. In the plans of this materialistic nation, 21 our own country is ear-marked for either enslavement or forced co-operation. If this is doubted, look at some of our citizens and their philosophy. These representatives are sent here as delegates of the Union of the Socialist Soviet Republic, imbued with the communistic philsophy and they are only too ready to find willing Americans to sell the American people down the long, winding, blood red river. Individuals, still trying to sell human beings for thirty pieces of silver and a little insecure fame and notoriety. The question now naturally arises, what can we do about such a situation? How can we contribute to a greater and better democracy? Ladies and gentlemen, we can all contribute to insure a better world, a free world, a free security by living democracy, by respecting the God-given rights of every individual. Today we hear on all sides of us talk about rights, right of this, right of that, but how many of us realize that our rights in democracy entail just as many obligations. For each right there is also an obligation. This is democracy. I repeat, for every right we have an obligation. But how many of us think of our obligations? Obligations to ourselves, to our neighbors, to our town, to our country, to all society? As an example of this obligation, implied in the term de- mocracy, each one of us is obligated, from the very fact that we live in a democracy, to become better educated and to educate all people in order that we may develop to our fullest intellectual and physical possibilities so that our lives, our whole being may con- tribute to the betterment of society. This is an obligation imposed on each one of us, from the youngest first grader to the eldest person. The better educated we become the better will be the home, the better the nation, the better, society. We will have a better understanding of ourselves, of our neighbors, and of other people. We will recognize that they have rights, just as well as we, that they are not to become slaves of a few, that they are not to be exploited for the profit of a few materialists. Midas will not be our God. Until such things are changed, until we live our beliefs, then we shall continue to struggle along in the darkness, hunting for peace and freedom that is a natural endow- ment of each one of us. Fellow Graduates: This week marks our completion of four years at Templeton High School. For us these were happy years. As we suffered through our formal education, the time may have seemed long and unending. But as we look back the time now seems short. We realize that there were many things that we should have done, but we didn't. Let us profit from our omissions. We are now ready to take up our various vocations, some of us to college, some of us to business schools, and some of us to industrial life. Let us profit from the philosophy and democratic principles which have been taught to us within these hallowed portals. These teachings are the foundations for real democratic living. Let us not let them remain stagnant. Democracy must be lived. We are thankful to our parents, to our teachers and to our town for giving us the opportunity to obtain an education in the American way. We are now ready to go forth into adult life, equipped with the fundamentals for participation in a democratic, dynamic, changing civilization. ADO TENAGLIA 22 CLASS PROPHECY Prepare for landing! Fasten your safety beltsli' Aileen Fletcher said to the pas- sengers as Pilot Richard Huhtala brought the transoceanic space ship into the airport at Baldwinville. I knew that I had been in good hands with a pilot and stewardess such as these two. As we circled the field I saw that the town of Baldwinville had grown. Mayor Anthony LeClerc had certainly brought about tremendous improvements in the short space of fifteen years. Pilot Huhtala had allowed me to sit in the co-pilot's seat, and over the radio I could hear a familiar voice bringing us in for the landing. I asked Dick about it, and sure enough, it was Dorothy Beane. Being an AP correspondent had taken me out of touch with my old school mates, and I was happily surprised to meet so many at the end of my trip. I had met Rodney Bourn, now a foreign envoy, in Brus- sels, and he told me that a reunion of the class of '48 was planned and was going to be held in good old Baldwinville on June 15, 1963. I was looking forward to meeting that renowned class. I wired headquarters the data I had collected from that last trip to Brazil where Carl Richardson's nut plantation was located. He was successful in carrying on the vocation he started in high school. At that time Ado Tenaglia was touring South America with his band. Since Ado started out everyone had forgotten Vaughn Monroe. Clarence Lawrence was Ado's star singer and the ballerinas were swooning for him now. Nothing was going to go wrong at this great gathering of classmates -- nothing could go wrong -- our class advisor Miss Guenther had planned it all. I wanted to go to City Hall and see Mayor LeClerc but on the way over a huge Rolls Royce drove up beside me and Willard Bavineau waved me in. It semed he had guessed who the run- ning man was and now lived in a state of splendor, surrounded by money. He drove me to the City Hall and we found Mayor LeClerc running around in a state of confusion. He had never had the President of the United States visit Baldwinville so he was quite nervous. It seemed that Ila Sundin had liked Washington so much that she stayed there and soon ran for the Presidency and had won. The first woman President had to be from the class of '48. We calmed Anthony down and took him with us. It was still early in the afternoon so we went to see the gigantic baseball stadium. It was called The house that Joe Geyster built. A game was going on but we had the misfortune to see Joe in one of his poor days. He only hit two home runs. He stole home once but promised to give it back if they paid him more next season. His team won. It seems Joeis still quite a star. After the game we all trooped over to Stanley Zalewski's Elite Club for supper. Stanley told us that the reunion was going to be held at the Narragansett Hotel now owned and operated by Evelyn McGowan. It was still the largest building in town and was rapidly becoming one of the places to be seen in. Evelyn closed the doors to all except to members of the '48 class and soon our former class members began to saun- ter in. They came in all sorts of vehicles from jet propelled planes to submarines. Paul Adams came in the same car in which he had formerly come to high school. Alan Evans had been able to make the trip even though he had just been in Chicago defending his title for the 44th time. Nobody could touch him, and none of his fights lasted more than one round. Everyone was admiring Alan's physique when suddenly a person walked in and all eyes turned to her. She bore up under the ordeal and with that cute smile of hers, said I-Iellof, You've guessed it. Certainly it was that great television star, Cather- ine Mahoney. With so many old friends around, even her beauty could not hold us for 23 long. Suddenly, accordian music drew our attention to the stage and there was Alfred Agnelli playing. Everyone's feet started tapping. Alfred's music made one want to dance. Music was his chosen career, and he had toured Europe and all points east giving exhibitions of his talent. Cecilia Koziol at once went into her stage routine which she had made famous on Broadway, and with Alfred's music in the background, the act was out of this world. Suddenly the tramp of marching men brought our attention again to the door. In walked Cornelius Dora leading a company of men from the National Guard. I had forgotten it was Monday night. Cornelius told us that the only way he could get away was by taking the entire company along. He had been made a sergeant at last. The General had finally recognized his ability. At least that's what Connie said. Just then Rodney Bourn brought the group to order and roll call was called. There were many gaps in the list but the night was young, and quite a few had some distance to cover. The Brehio twins had to come from Alaska via dog teams. The traffic in the airlines from Alaska was so heavy lately that they chose the dogs. Vilma Basso arrived just as her name was called and her escorts practically filled one corner of the hall. She's much happier since she divorced Carl Richardson. Vilma later told me that Claire Conners sang in the same company with her at the Metropolitan Opera House. Talent Scout Agnelli had assisted these two Cinderellas to reach fame and fortune after their initial start on a small stage in East Templeton. Martha Welsh rushed in for a short visit between programs, for her work as disc jockey and announcer on WHOB kept her mighty busy these days. In her spare time she broadcasts baseball games from the Geyster Stadium. A report from the Weather Bureau came in at this time that assured good flying conditions for the next twelve hours. Blanche Dennis as weather arranger of Baldwinville said she would hold rain and fog off despite requests from Mr. Curtis for rain for the crop situation. As part of the program later in the evening we watched a dramatic sketch via television from Hollywood where our classmate Leo Dennis had become one of the lead- ing men in screen work. Once a year now Otter River has a Leo Dennis Day. At noon the fire whistles blow and then all turn their heads west and bow for five minutes. A submarine equipped for land travel arrived at the door and Marilyn Quinlisk was announced. She had become tired of having the Navy take all the eligible men so she had started a Navy of her own. All the sailors joined up and now she has gobs and gobs of gobs. By now there were so many types of vehicles in the parking lot that it looked like the zoo for the nightmares of transportation manufacturers. Paul Adams' little faith- ful go-about looked forlorn and stood out like a sore thumb. By the way, Paul had taken up the life of a hermit, for having tired of the eternal female he found this the only way to peace and solitude. This was his first public appearance in ten years, and his beard was so long he kept tripping on it. While he was still tripping, Mary Borey came galloping in on her horse. She had become a jockey and had already booted home three thousand winners and had won the Kentucky Derby ten times, and was now in the hall of fame for having been the ninth in the field of seven. During the roll call a pleasant voice answered Here when the name of Theresa LeClerc was called. We learned that she had become a distinguished novelist and her latest book Forever had been banned in East Templeton and so became the best seller within two weeks. On the roll call we next heard Marjory Miller's name and a boom- ing voice came from a two hundred fifty pounder. Our slim little friend of T. H. S. days had emerged and now had become the world's heavy weight champion woman wrestler. In her fights she had absolutely no mercy for her opponents, and in last week's fight had thrown another fighter so far that the ad in the Gardner News Lost 24 and Found column is still running. Incidentally the Gardner News is now published by Agnes Waxlax and since she has taken over it has become a twelve page edition and is in keen competition with the New York Times. A telegram came at this time from Texas signed by Irene Woodbury and Estelle Ehnstrom sending their regrets, for they found it impossible to get substitutes to do their aerial act in the Bourn circus. It seemed they had perfected a wire walking act that called for sheer stamina, for while one girl walked on her hands, she balanced the other on a two hundred foot pole. Irene had also become a world renowned rhumba dancer and it seemed that her bicycle seat had been loose and this brought out talent that she had never known existed. At a later hour Raymond Grucan charged in with diamonds flashing and we knew imme- diately he had struck oil somewhere. The assembly was complete and we were here one hundred percent strong in agreeing that the happy spirit of this occasion would remain with us. The banquet was memorable for the catering was in charge of Whipple's, and toast after toast voiced the hope that this reunion would be repeated soon again and the contacts of friendship started in T. H. S. kept intact. PAUL WAARAMAA 25 CLASS WILL We, the Templeton High School Class of 1948, being of questionably sound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

MARILYN QUINLISK leaves her friendliness to Mr. Clark who, some people think, needs it. ESTELLE EHNSTROM leaves her gossiping nature to Phyllis Coyle. Now you'll know all the news, Phyllis. JOSEPH GEYSTER leaves his skill in the art of basketball to next year's starting five. Good luck, boys. WILLARD BAVINEAU leaves his charming smile to Mr. White. Come on, smile, it's not a bad world. We bequeath to the Junior Class our superb ambition and our many successes. To the Sophomores we leave our reputation for paying A. A. dues promptly. And last, and unfortunately least, to the Freshmen we leave our parole for good behavior, and to the school we leave peace and quiet such as it has not known since we entered. We, the class of 1948, do declare this to be our last will and testament, in witness whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal this 8th day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-eight.

The council of officers takes up in its discussions the purchasing of equipment, the transportation of the players, and the raising of money for the association. The A. A. is planning an A. A. Ball which is to be held April 2, 1948. The Templeton High basketball team holds a very good record for the 47-48 season, winning 11 and losing 5 of its games. The team had three players from last year's season, Grucan, Geyster and Huhtala who covered the front line, and two rookies, Zalewski and Pop Erickson, holding the stand at guard. The trips to Fitchburg were not as suc cessful as we wished. The team defeated the Grafton team 55 to 33, next taking Acton 47 to 41 but losing out to Westford 36 to 26 in the end. The team received a silver cup and each player received a silver basketball. The effort of Mr. Clark's training was evident when two players were picked on the all star team, Grucan and Geyster fthe latter picked as captainj. The total points scored for the season were 659 to the opponents 521. Geyster lead with 257 in 15 games with an average of 17.1, next came Huhtala with 209 in 16 games with an average of 13, and followed by Grucan with 137 in 16 games with an average of 8.5. 29 GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM fFirst Row, Left to Rightj Joan Norskey, Janet Howe, Marilyn Brehio, Roberta Campbell, Dorothy Adams, Marilyn Lineen. fSecond Row, Left to Rightj Vilma Basso, Gloria Lee, June Miller, Betty Erickson, Pauline Bourgeoise, Martha Furbush, Mr. Garafoli.

Joe Geyster as the girls all know Always puts on a very good show Especially in a basketball game For that is where he won his fame. Who's the crooner of our class And doesn't care for any lass? Clarence Lawrence is his name By his singing he's risen to fame. Leo eats hamburgers by the score And when they're all gone He looks forlorn It makes us all so sad if we can't get him more. Corny Dora stole our show Blowing bubbles To and fro. Without the assistance Of Huhtala's little red truck The Class of '48 would certainly Many times have been just out of luck. Ado is his first name. Tenaglia is his last He's the little professor Of the French class. They say Willard Bavineau is rather tight But the class of '48 thinks he's all right But wait till he falls for some cute little honey And watch her get rid of all his money. When Grucan played basketball and wore a number three He was just as fast as he could be But coming to Home Room Number Eight It's very odd. He was always late. Paul Adams is an Aggie lad For Vi Duprey he sure has it bad. To Vi's home his Ford is usually heading, What gives, Paul? A spring wedding? It's awfully hard work, Says Anthony LeClerc To do my math with the girls all around. Poor Anthony, I guess the girls Drive him completely berserk. Stanley Zalewski works at Mary's Lunch And is always ready to feed the bunch. He keeps so cool, calm and collected By us all he's highly respected. Hardly a word needs to be said To make Paul Waaramaa's face turn red But we're very fond Of Paul, a real blonde. One fine day Carl was going our way And gave us a lift in his fiivver. Our hearts skipped a beat, our surprise was complete When he drove us right into the river. Rodney is our President Seems to us he's Heaven sent. Because he's led our class so well We all think he's pretty swell. Alan Evans, the milkman's aid Works for his father to build up trade. He greets all the customers with a grin For business is booming and the profits roll in. CLASS DAY JINGLES Irene Woodbury Is the wittiest lass Ever to graduate From a Senior Class- Mary Borey Is a cute brunette Quiet but fun loving No one has captured her yet. Who's the girl who thinks Carl's swell If you can't guess should we tell? Her name is Vilma Basso And Richardson is her Romeo. Estelle Ehnstrom will Never keep still About her boy friend Whose name is Bill. An office clerk at Grant's Is Margie Miller When she sings sentimental ballads She's quite a thriller. Catherine Mahoney Who only pretends to be shy Flirts with the fellows As they pass by. Cushie and Lionel make quite a pair In fact the romance Is progressing quite fair. There are many Prima Donnas But none so good as our Claire Conners Compared to others she's a treat For her voice is soft and sweet. It's very plain for us to see What Evelyn McGowan wants to be A Farmer's Wife, says she, Ploughing with her Farmer happily. Dorothy Beane, our piano player Is a fickle lass So fellows, beware! GIRLS Agnes Waxlax is a clever lass Cute and blond And with plenty of class. A great talker is Aileen Graves Of Lonny Fletcher She raves and raves. Whether it is sunny or muggy Martha Welsh comes to school in a buggy Driven by Pop Stinson it gallops along And always arrives here before the gong. Theresa LeClerc who sits and day dreams Is lost in a world all her own So it seems. Who's cne of the sweetest in our class Why Blanche Dennis A cute little lass. Marilyn Brehio on the basketball floor Is a whiz as you've all heard before She makes the baskets and raises the score Now how could We possibly ask her for more? lla Sundin is a Liggett's clerk Every day she goes to work, Cheer up, lla, and don't shirk, Maybe someday you'll find, A handsome soda jerk. Marion Brehio who likes to walk Is always also willing to talk Especially in the middle of a class Because she's such a sociable lass. Cecelia is both tall and slim Sweet and pretty, and oh, so trim, Now, out into the world you go To carry on, our Pro Merito. CLASS GIFTS PAUL ADAMS - A cow to help him get started with his farm.
