Wakefield Chirpers l3or many years Wakefield Iligh School has not had a mixed chorusg how- ever, Nlr. .Xrthur Fulton organized such a group. The rehearsals were held during the activity period on Wednesdaysg and, although emphasis has been placed on classical music, some popular music has been sung at each meeting. The com- plete success of the Chorus was proved by its popularity at both the Christmas .Xssembly and the annual Nlay Concert. 'lihe Chorus has been fortunate in having capable pianists, namely, Lois Purrington, Catherine Lelilanc, and Roy Lefarour, who have assisted in all programs. As a parting word ol' praise, may we say that the Chorus is one ol' the many' school activities which make us proud of our .Xlma Nlater.

Coach Rood started getting the boys ready for the I9-i6 football season, admittedly the toughest of any played in the school's his- tory. The schedule called for twelve games4an unusual number-and all of these games were with the top teams of Greater Boston. Three lettermen were back from the great team of 1945 in the persons of Co-Captains Bill llealey and john Roberto. and Ernest Evangelista. The outlook for the start was not bright because of the entirely new, inexperienced players. A football team needs a good line to be effective. Of the twelve games played. we won four and lost eight. Although we lost to Melrose. the state champions. with our neighbors we played the best game of the season. Melrose was heavily favored to win, and in our estimation was fortunate to do so. Lady Luck stood in our way that afternoon. ln all the games played. the triple-threat back, Bill Healey, was inspirational. He did all of the ball carrying, passing. and punting, and was terrific as a backer-up of the line and also as a blocking back. He undoubtedly was the best punter around Greater Boston. His kicks carried well over sixty yards on every try. The boys agreed that they knew of no Gner captain than our Bill. To round out the backheld there were Co-Captain johnny Roberto, our field general. Ernie Evan- gelista as Healey's running mate. and Frank Nardone. a great little scat-back. Looking across the line, we saw Al Sousa and Sam Deniso with Ed Dow as a very able substitute for the two boys, All of these ends turned in great games every week. Phil McAuliffe and Al O'Brien, at tackles, were a rough and ready pair. Bobby Surette and Benny Barsanti played at the guards, and both played good football in a very difficult position. Although the season's average of games lost and won wasn't normal, the boys had many obstacles to hurdle during the year. They were always fighting to the last second. their spirit never died. and they were a credit to the school and the town.

BASEBALL -- I9-l6 With a record of sixteen wins and only two losses, Wakelield had one ot' the best teams in the state this year. Although both defeats were with Belmont, we captured the Middlesex League Championship by beating our former victors in the playoff, 5 to 3. Coach Walsh stated that the team was the best he ever coached, and no wonder! The players' undying enthusiasm and spirit were commendable., It is because of this successful season that baseball has become a progressive sport at Wakeheld High School, and it has inspired the Athletic Council to spend more money to buy new equipment for the coming year. The students and,the alumni certainly supported their team to the end. At the tournament Wakeheld was as well represented as any other school. Co-Captain Leslie Delklarco, with an average ol sixteen strikeouts per game. pitched the team to victory. There were some games in which the outtielders did little or no work because ol' their pitcher's no-hit. no-run games. Calling signals behind the plate for Leslie's perfect pitches was llenry Rich, who co-piloted his team-mates to many victories. Along with excellent team work and pitching. we had some fairly strong batters: namely, llenry Rich, Co-Captain joseph Colu- cello. Leslie Dekflarco, and Richard llallahan, each with a batting average over three hundred. ' With the splendid coaching ol' Coach Walsh, it was evident from the start that the team would be tops. Coach's famous saying was .-X team that can't he beaten wont be beaten. 'llhis statement certainly held true.

Thoughtfully we watch the memories of our senior year at Wakeheld High School pass in re- view. Some have left a clearly etched pictureg others have faded. We see a softly lighted and gaily decorated gymnasium where the music of a dance orchestra and an air of jollity intermingle - this is our Senior Party. Then come the dimmer memories of the Student Canteens, the baseball games, the failure notices, followed by the brighter glow of the rehearsals for the Senior Play, fame, and the triumphant two nights of actual performance before enthusiastic audiences. Lovingly, now, do we recall the tension which reigned as we impa- tiently awaited the return of our proofs plus the inevitable question - May l have your picture? in turn producing the desired reply, Yes, if l may have one of yours. Strong impressions, indeed, are the heated discussions of our Class Book meetings emanating from our desire for the best Oracle possible. And our Class rings! Many are the compliments we have received for our choice of a simple but exquisite ring. Clear, also, is the picture of our goal - Graduation - for that has painted the fullest portrait in our gallery of memories. Class Day came upon us almost before we had parted with our school texts. Class day. with the well-prepared and delicious dinner, followed by the detailed Class History, the amusing Will, and that uproarious masterpiece, the Prophecy. And then it was june 5, I9-l7, the Class of Nineteen Forty-seven had succeeded -- our desire had been fulhlled '- this was Graduation! After four war-torn years of our effort we were, in a way, happy to go. Yet, after the singing of the Class Song, the tears came, and we realized the signihcance of our Alma Mater. ln a moment more, joy ruled, our pride in achievement mounted, and we went forth - Graduates --- to live happily ever after.

From the moment of our debut as students, until the last day of school in june 1944, we proved to be proverbially green, Not being accustomed to rotating classes, a complicated system of bells, and the intricate room numbers and crowded corri- dors, we took some time in adapting ourselves. During this year Mr. Peterson celebrated his 25th anniversary as principal of the Wakefield High School, an event which reminded us how privileged we were to be guided by his patience and understanding. The Canteen, a much-needed recreation center, was opened this year under the sponsorship of the Student Council: and on the first night it attracted over 350 young people. Of course this gave us freshmen an opportunity to meet new people. We had good luck and were the envy of the upper-classmen. We freshmen were taking Ability tests. Were the upperclassmen jealous! As our superiors racked their brains in class and study rooms, we freshmen were gaily parading the corridors for I5 minute intervals of relaxation between tests. Moreover, we added insult to injury by peeking through open doors and gloating over our free- dom. This was the only period in our careers when we could roam at will. Before the end of our Freshman year, many of our boys left school to enroll in the Service of Uncle Sam. The rest, having industriously reaped their reward right here in Wakefield lligh School, gained the rank of Sophomores. SUPI IOMOR TS YEAR IO44-45 On September 6, ll?-H, we returned to school to find that, after spending our freshman year mastering the intricacies of the rotating system of classes, we had to learn a new one. In the new system. classes meet regularly four times a week. There were several new faces among the teaching staff. Miss Edna Finnerty replaced Miss Nancy DH-Xmico, who took a teaching position in Tucson, Arizona. Coach Rood found two new assistants in the persons of james Walsh and Leo Douglas. Mr. S. Morton Sherman was appointed by the School Committee to the posi- tion of faculty manager of athletics, a position previously filled by Mr. Kinder. ln this year the School Committee received the resignation of Miss Ethel Reed. Miss Reed, who first came to Wakefield lligh in lQll and who was always an inspiring member of the linglish department. decided to retire. Beginning October l6, new University lixtension courses were conducted at Wakefield lligh School. Courses in Spanish, French, elementary Gregg shorthand. typewriting. and mechanical drawing were offered one night each week. The Curtiss Publishing Company sponsored a subscription campaign for the benefit of the athletic fund. The sales totalled Illll.l50, of which 8370 was turned over to the Athletic Association. The football team, bolstered by sophomore students Bill llealey, hlr., and johnny Roberto, completed a fairly successful season. ln fact, Wakefield nearly broke the Melrose jinx. The Melrose team was held to six points by virtue of a late-game touchdown. For the first time in several years, the sophomores held a class election. Bill llealey was elected President: Cynthia Brooks, Yice-president: Albert Sousa, Sec- retary, and Peter Brownson, Treasurer. ln the early part of May. the students held a week-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of the school. About 0:15 on the morning of May 7, the entire school assembled for a parade through town. The paraders were led by the class band which was followed by the senior class officers and the senior class: the junior class officers and the junior class: next came the sophomore class oflicers Page One hundred four and the sophomore classg and hnally, the freshman class. The parade terminated at the side of the school building where a short history of the school was read by Esther Mclienney. The three class presidents and a representative of the freshman class then planted a maple tree as a living memorial of the occasion. Having enjoyed these many happy events and having contributed to the im- provement of our school, we looked forward to the new activities of our junior year. jUNlOR YEAR We had now come half the way. Two hundred and nineteen of us entered Wakeheld High School as juniors on September 9, 1945, and eagerly looked for- ward to the coming year when we should be- at long last-taking part in the school activities as upper-classmen. The Hrst event in which we participated was the election for the Student Council. The winners of this contest began to function in the interests of the student body on September IZ, I945. The junior class was well represented with Cynthia Brooks as vice-president of the Council and john Roberto, Nlarlyn Dodge. .-Xlice McLaughlin. and Ann Moncrief elected as junior representatives. The W. H. S. Canteen had its grand opening on October 6 Linder the sponsor- ship of the Student Council. This was the hrst of a series of successful canteens which featured dancing in the gym. and games and food in the lunchroom. From then on, there was an evening of fun and dancing guaranteed every Saturday night at Canteen. Football led the activities as W. H. S. showed the best team in many a year. The highlight of the season. of course. was the Warriors' scalping of Melrose, 7-6. with the now-legendary sleeper play. Pok1e Rich. class of 41, threw the winning pass to Reggie Sardella and converted the extra point. Three other out- standing warriors from our class were Sonny Evangelista, 'Bill' Healey, and johnny Roberto. We surely were proud of our boys! The junior class then got down to business by holding elections for its otli- cers. On October 22, we chose the ever-popular Bill llealey. President: Cynthia Brooks, Yice President: Al Sousa. Secretary: and Bones Nlorang, Treasurer. With these capable leaders, we were ready to accomplish great things. On january 31. I946, our beloved dean. Nliss llelen Cilmore. retired after twenty-three years as an active member of the faculty of W. ll. S. ller duties as dean were taken over by Miss lilizabeth lpham. who had been teaching English at W. H. S. since I936. Enthusiastic W. ll. S. hockey fans witnessed one of Wakefield's most success- ful seasons. The Warriors wound up in third place position in the Eastern Nlassa- chusetts Hockey League. Two of the regular players who contributed to all of the victories were Walt Nikitin and Pokie Rich. This was really our school's year in sports! The event of events. as far as we were concerned. was the junior Prom. which was held on April 27. Nlaypoles. lambs. and other signs of spring were completely in keeping with the season and our mood. The prom was a great success: and we consider that it even exceeded the Senior Party. Sports again brought glory to Wakefield as our baseball team won the Mid- dlesex League Championship. The Warriors then went into the play-offs at Fen- way Park, where they were hnally defeated in the semi-finals by Newton. The junior Year had flown by too quickly as we recalled the grand times and fun we had. and thought with pride of our achievements: however. we looked for- ward with great anticipation to the most memorable adventure of all -our Senior vear. SENIOR YEAR Our senior year! Oh, those memorable days! School opened on September 6, I946. and shortly thereafter the class of 1947 Page One hundred five elected the following popular officers: President, William Healey, who was re- elected for the third timeg Vice President, Benito Barsantig Secretary, Albert Sousa, who was also re-elected, and Treasurer, Bruce Morang, also re-elected. The various captains of WakeHeld's athletic teams displayed persevering leadership. The boys who kept the teams Hghting, although defeat was frequently imminent, were William Healey and john Roberto, footballg Walter Nikitin, hockey: Ernest Evangelista, basketball, joseph Schwarz, baseball. The lnter Nos Club enjoyed an active year under the new adviser, Miss Llpham. The senior girls rushed the freshmen in September and had a Fresh- man Day The girls next had a Halloween party full of chilling thrills. They held a tea dance in the gymnasium, and because this dance was so popular, it was hoped that it would become an annual affair. The senior officers of Inter Nos are Cynthia Brooks. President: Marlyn Dodge, Vice President, Anne Callan, Corres- ponding Secretaryg jeanne Hickey, Recording Secretaryg joanne Hickey and Ann Moncrief. Senior class representatives. Home Talent Night brought out many latent abilities in the seniors. Alohn Roberto acted as master of ceremonies: and the Three Ink Spots and a Blot. tBruce Morang. Ken Morang, jack Calvin, Al O'Brienj were a sensation. The senior play j.-XXII? was a tremendous success with two outstanding casts. The play was held on two nights, December 6 and 7, 1946. The title roles were played by Shirley Davis and Cynthia Brooks. Other meritorious perform- ances were given by Shirley Young and Ann Moncrief, Douglas Syda, joyce Thwing. Alfred O'Brien. Bob Yetman, Ashley Russell. The Publicity committee. with Robert Surrette and Mary Coughlin as co-chairmen, surpassed all previous records. The Senior Party was a great success too. lt was a Valentine Party held on February S, I0-17, when something new came to Wakefield High School. The l.ookoz1t sponsored an election of a King and Queen. All the pupils in the school chose handsome Ray Buckley and vivacious Caryl Maher as King and Queen. The coronation took place at the prom, amid fanfares of trumpets and a regal back- ground. Robert Yetman added more laurels to his well-established reputation by com- peting in various bicycle races. Bob also appeared with fellow cycling enthusiasts on the radio program, Quiz of Two Citiesfy The class will long remember the good works done by Peter Brownson as liditor of the Lookout for I0-T6-47. Pete had the assistance of a very capable staff, including several aspiring journalists. The Senior boys attended classes in room 313 every Wednesday during the third period, with Mr. Cassano as instructor. The boys studied rules and regula- tions of the Armed Forces. This class proved to be very beneficial. ln previous years the Senior boys had been drilled in the Manual of Arms. There was much anticipation displayed among the boys there, as many of them expect to spend some time in the Army. The graduation of the Class of l047 meant more than the parting of one of the most enterprising classes in many years: it also marked a milestone in the history of the school itself. Mr. Charles j. Peterson, beloved and esteemed prin- .tipal of Wakefield lligh School for twenty-eight years, retired as the Class of IO-T7 bade farewell. The class considered themselves privileged in having been guided by his patient understanding and genial leadership. jeanne Smith Clifford Muse Anna Kostandin Alfred O'Brien Mr. Dower, Faculty Adviser Page One hundred six I Class of 1947, I TO WHOMEVER IT MAY CONCE-RN: I WE, THE CLASS OF I9-I7, of Wakefield High School, town of Wakefield, County of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, being in full and complete posses- sion of our faculties of mind and body, do hereby declare and proclaim this docu- ment to be our last will and testament, and do hereby devise, bequeath, and bestow our gifts and possessions in the following manner: Q FIRST: THE CLASS GIFT.

As I thus mused. mv attention was drawn to a nearby park bench where a motley group had gathered: to wit, a cop with a shiny club, a nurse with a peram- bulator and, I trust, a baby. a park attendant with a rake to lean on, the usual loafers, and two eager newsboys who were exchanging. for pennies, copies of the june 9, l96Z edition of the New York Times and Lookout.

I was galvanized into sudden action: for I realized that pictures of these same persons were among the equipment given me by the Pinkerton head office when I had started on my long search.

You have successfully completed the highest educational re- quirements which our community offers. You have laid the foundations for your future lives. We pray that you will continue to use your acquired skills and tools to build great lives upon your good foundations. p Prophets of doom are very pessimistic not only about our day but about the future. Some even doubt that we have a future. But there will be a'new day, and it will belong to . those who have the skills, knowledge, honesty, courage, and willingness to work for it. Prophets of doom seldom do anything about building the new world. Some facts are already in your favor. There are many young people in thiseworld but you are the most ,highly privileged, and yours is the greatest legacy which any nation has to give. Christianity teaches that people can rise above their world and transform it. They have done so in the pasta Whatever turn you take in the road of tomorrow you have the concern, interest, and prayers of your Churches May God richly bless and guide you.

We are aware also of the debt we owe to the administrators and teachers of our educationaly 1 institutions. ' I There are two graduates not 'e listed with the nC1ass of 1947W4 Mr. Willard B. Atwell , Superintendent of School since 1911, and Hr. Charles J. Peterson5 Principal of the High ' School since 1919. Both are graduat- ing with high honors this year. p a We are grateful for the contri-Q butions of these two men. Both are. great characters who have patiently . and efficiently served the best interests of the community. They' . built their lives into the institutions they received, they iwrestled with many problems and solved some of them, andii have passed the institutions on, imp+ roved and ready for new hands and minds to shape and use. As we express our gratitude to them, we desire to add our Very-Best Wishes for many years of health, and happiness, and continued usefulness. May the Lord Bbless them and ' keep them.

For pleasures of the years gone by,' New friends, new tasks we here have found, New goals we sought with thy help sound To guide us where our paths have wound. Horizons bright we now can see! Fresh hope, inspired by years with thee, Will strengthen us where'er we go. Life's lessons well prepared we know, The blossoms of the seeds we sow. God's love shine on thee, blessed school, And light always thy kindly rule O'er us, thy children, as we fare In quest of Life's adventures rare. O Lord above, this is our prayer.
