It con- sisted of one classroom. There were no grad- uation exercises — a student upon completing his work simply left school. 1849 Beginning of a true High School, with im- provements instituted such as the g rading sys- tem, a grammar department, language and mathematics courses, and the ability to prepare students for college. 1869 The High School left its original site, and a building known as the Old High was erected at the corner of Church and School Streets. 1902 The central structure of the present High School was built to keep up with the increas- ing development of the community. 1935 Completion of the east and west wings and the elimination of a morning and afternoon session. 1936 The large gymnasium in the rear of the east wing was completed, permitting the old gym to be used as a cafeteria. 1939 Addition of five new rooms to the cast wing. What will the next few years bring forth ? Class of 1941- Class Poem A GOAL For each, according to his will, There is a niche which he can fill — And so it seemeth right to me That God would really like to see This group step forth, and out of stress, Create a wealth of happiness. Let each prepare to do his best — At every task and meet the test Of Life, which now ahead does lie; And conquer all with hopes held high. We may be hurt along the way, But there ' s a ' morrow for today. And God will guide us long the years, With equal share of joy and tears. He ' ll lead us on with courage true, To do those things He ' d have us do. He ' ll not destroy our firm ideas, But give us faith that ' s free from fears, To reach the goal and hear, Well done, And welcome, Class of ' 41. Jacqueline Barrows, Class of 1941. s E N I MR.

When we entered Waltham High School in September 1938, none of us realized that we were historical characters, but just by living our daily lives we have made history — the history of the class of 1941. Truth to tell, we did not have a great deal of enthusiasm for Waltham High when we entered. Everyone had told us about all the fun we could have, and how wonderful it was, but all we wanted was to be safely back in Junior High School. There we had been looked up to and admired, only because we were the oldest, per- haps, but the prestige was the important thing. Here we were the most insignificant of classes. We were not only the youngest, but we could not even find our way around. However, we soon became accustomed to the maze of corridors and all the strange people, and began to feel at home. Our first important step as a class was to elect our officers. Dick Bennett was our president; Ernest Frary, vice president; Shirley Higgins, secretary; and Andrew Meyer, auditor. After serious deliberation, we decided that Semper Superare (Always to Excel) was a motto fitting our class, also that purple and gold should be our class colors. Thus organized, we felt ourselves prepared for any occasion that might arise. That was the year that we really did try to study, but we were distracted by the noise of the construction work in the east wing. When that was completed, the High School was bigger than ever. Then came the event of the year, the Sophomore Social. The committee, under Harold Simmons, planned a very successful evening. The decora- tions were well executed, with Leon Ginsburg al- most a part of them. He and the streamers were left hanging from a basket when a ladder fell over. Barbara Hill and Irene Higgins sang, and we all danced the Paul Jones . It was a won- MILDRED EDWARDSON derful party and gave us a certain feeling of im- portance, because only the members of our class were allowed to attend. June came, finally, and we were glad to leave school and yet glad that we were coming back, because next year we should no longer be Silly Sophomores but Juniors. In September it was our turn to look down on the lower classmen, but that was an opportunity that most of us let pass because we could all re- member our own feelings of a year ago. After we had been back at the old grind for a while, we did some thinking about class officers. Dick Bennett was again president, with Marie Murphy, Shirley Higgins, and Andrew Meyer completing the list. The football team did not win every game, but it was helped considerably by the Junior class boys. The basketball and hockey teams could not have been as successful as they were without our help either. --—Class of 1941 ■1) 11 1)4 ]!

Spring came, driv- ing all thoughts from our heads, except those about the Junior Prom, of course. Oscar Falling was chairman of the committee. He did a wonderful job until about a week before the Prom when he was ignominiously retired from active service by the measles. It was a nasty, rainy night, but in spite of that the gym was crowded. We danced in a tropical setting of palms and stars and flowers, with even a monkey for atmosphere. In June the Senior class left us, but we were secretly glad to see them go because they left an empty space that we would be only too glad to fill in the fall. It was hard to realize that we were Seniors. We had waited long for this great event, but now that our goal had been achieved we didn ' t feel half as important as we expected to. With more than usual care we chose our class officers. Dick Bennett was president, assisted by Marie Murphy, Shirley Higgins, and George Cox. The football team did its very best, and finished the season with a record of three games won, three tied, and four lost.

Before Christmas the picture committee had completed its work, and we had chosen our class photographer. It gave us a feeling of finality, as if we were to spend the whole year preparing to leave high school. In January John Madden and his committee started work on the Senior Dance. They did their best to make it a success, but an epidemic of flu didn ' t help at all. We might remark that there was plenty of room for dancing. The Senior Play came quickly enough to make us forget the failure of the dance. Ruth Greene chose Young April , and it was a huge success. The committees were extremely helpful ; the cast wasn ' t a bit nervous; and everyone enjoyed the pcrrormance. It was even successful enough to pur the figures in our ledger back on the black side. Spring has come again, bringing with it the encl of our high school days. We ' ve grown to like Waltham High in three years of close association and we rather hate to leave it, but all good things must come to an end. Our history as a class is finished. Today we are together for almost the last time. But in the future we may, by our own personal achieve- ment still add to the honor of our class. Some of us may win fame, and the rest of us may not make any great mark in the world; but whatever we do, may we, as the class of 1941, always excel ! Mildred Edwardson. c jj r To Whom It May Concern: We, the Class of 1941, of the Waltham Senior High School, being of sound mind and memory, after paying our just debts, do make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revok- ing all former wills. We do devise and bequeath all the rest, residue, and remainder of our estate as follows: To the Class of ' 42, we leave a large number of spotlessly clean, absolutely blank diplomas. If your class resembles in any way the graduating class, you wili probably have much use for them — one way or another. To the Class of ' 43, our naive juniors-to-be, we leave permission for unlimited gorging from the Tree of Knowledge, which you will find bears a profusion of fruit, ready to be gleaned from any room, from wing to wing, with the exception of the cafeteria. To Mr. Goodrich, our patient and understand- ing principal, whose inspiring leadership and sound counsel have played so great a part in our high school life we leave untold gratitude and love, and depart with the hope that he will al- ways keep us in mind. To Miss Scottron, our versatile Latin instructor, who, when she finishes correcting the numerous errors on her Waltham High papers, journeys to New York to aid in the correction of the Latin College Board exams, we leave a task which will probably prove very pleasant to her. It is this: For your leisure, Miss Scottron, we leave you copies of all of Wendell Willkie ' s campaign speeches, which you may have the privilege of translating into that expressive language, Latin. To Miss Flagg, one of the business depart- ment ' s greatest assets, we leave expressed all the pleasant thoughts her pupils have heretofore kept silent. Her great patience, her thoughtfulness, her absolute sincerity have won Miss Flagg a po- RUTH GREENE sition of high regard in the hearts of all her students. To Miss Viets, of the Mirror, we leave a very delightful furnished study, with brown wall paper and green Venetian blinds. Here we hope that she may some day escape from her many other responsibilities and concentrate on writing her memoirs. To Mr. Smith, our popular young history in- structor, we leave a ticket to Washington — not because that seems a fad for Mr. Smith — but rather that he may visit all the historic and his- tory-making buildings, and return with vital in- formation and colorful pictures to aid in his really fascinating work. To Mr. Ward, our dynamic sub-master, we leave our sincere thanks for the very efficient way in which he has cared for the interests of our class. We know the class of 1942 will appreciate his effective reading at morning assemblies. 1 To Charlie Pepper, for his very active work on the Mirror, the Dramatic Club, the Senior Play, the Operetta, and also because he is one of the popular members of the Senior Class, we leave a leather medal, knowing that all his grand children and great-great-grandchildren will look upon it with reverence and pride. To Patricia Smylie, one of our efficient report- ers and D. A. R. girl, we leave a bouquet of sweet peas in appreciation of all that publicity she gave so generously in that much-read column What ' s New at Waltham High. We are certain that this, accompanied by our certificate of merit, will be sufficient for Pat to succeed further along journalistic lines. To James Zografos, our bustling business man- ager and Buy a Mirror? Man, we leave sixteen or twenty capable assistants who, in his future meteoric career, will follow doggedly at Jimmie ' s heels and obey his slightest whim. In that man- ner, Jimmie will probably accomplish sixteen to twenty times more results — if that is possible. To Dottie Ellis, our sparkling go-getter, or rather ad-getter, we leave a 1941 model scooter, equipped with lights, plates, and plenty of horns, so that she can get about more quickly and easily. To Elmer Logan, our capable stage manager for the Senior Play, we leave an erector set, so that should Elmer continue along professional lines, he will have little trouble in dismantling the stage after performances. To Jacqueline Barrows, the charming Mrs. Miller , we leave Walter Winchell ' s much-wilted orchid for her really grand performance. Though the orchid be a bit faded, Jackie, our sentiments are completely sincere — you did a good job! We hereby nominate and appoint Miss Ober, Miss Gadboys and Mr. Mitchell, all of Waltham, county of Middlesex, and Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts, as co-executors of this, our last Will and Testament, and we hereby direct said Execu- tors to pay all our just debts, costs of administra- tion and inheritance taxes out of our estate, and we hereby request that they be exempt from fur- nishing any surety or sureties on their official bonds. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal and publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, in the presence of the Witnesses named below, this 4th day of June, A. D. 1941. Signed — The Class of 1941 by — Ruth Greene. Signed, sealed, and published by the said Class of 1941 as and for their last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses thereto. Arline B. Darmedy George S. Woodman Edith H. Rand Codicil To The Last Will and Testament Of The Class Of 1941 To Whom It May Concern: Know all men by these presents that we, the class of 1941, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and wishing to direct in what man- ner our estate shall be disposed of after our de- cease, do make and publish this Codicil to our last Will and Testament dated June 4, 1941, hereby ratifying and confirming said Will in all respects except as changes by this instrument. We hereby nominate and appoint Virginia Doucette to be the Executrix of this, the Codicil to our last Will and Testament, and we hereby request that she be exempt from furnishing any surety or sureties on her official bond. To Robert Healy, our most studious boy in the Class of 1941, we leave this autographed copy of Einstein ' s book on the theory of relativity. We know that Robert will have just the time of his life perusing its pages of colorful description; and then, we hope he will write one of his excel- lent book reviews for us, so we shall know that our gifts were not given in vain. To Phyllis Keith, 194 l ' s glamour girl, we leave a lock of Hedy Lamarr ' s hair, which we are cer- tain as a bona fide glamour girl she will revere with faithfulness and true admiration. The locket Sx-— ■«■ ■•— - ' + - - -t -mm-t -mm- nmB-ii-mm- - - - +, - . ., t lilSS O T I Q J I .. - , , goes with it, Phil, so that you can wear it con- stantly. To Doris Jacobs, our most athletic girl, we leave with our best wishes, a Yo-yo top — now the craze in New York, so that she can keep in excellent physical trim. We know some very brawny people who find it most exhausting, but we are certain that Jake will be able to pull through for an hour or so every day. To Richard Smelledge, our 1941 fashion plate, we generously give, to complete his already strik- ing outfit, this pair of conservative socks. They should cause some eyebrow-lifting by Esquire. To Mildred Edwardson, our Bette Davis, we give this Waltham High Academy Award. You certainly deserve this, Middy — may your suc- cessful career carry over into future life. To William Manning, captain of the football team and all-letter man, we take pleasure in pre- senting this authentic, autographed, and amazing picture of Tom Harmon. We expect Bill to hang this in his room so that he may have it before him at all times. To June Ralph, our best dressed girl, we leave this Adrian-designed evening gown — Well, not exactly an evening gown, but it ' s Adrian-designed anyway — and we are sure that with your appre- ciation of the better clothes in life, June, you will thank us again and again. To Leon Gin sburg, Waltham High ' s Stirling Hayden, we proudly present this contract with the Rand and Roche Productions, Incorporated, for thirty years at a stupendous salary which we cannot divulge at this time. Uncle Sam, please take notice! To Pauline Dicks, best looking girl and bright- est social light, we leave a prediction. Yes, we looked into our magic ball and found that Pauline would be wearing some very lovely clothes just one year from now; so set the styles with this, Paulie! To Richard Bennett, our class president and most popular boy, we leave, at much expense, a luxuriously-furnished penthouse located on Cen- tral Park West, New York City. Here Dick may entertain lavishly his numerous friends and ac- quaintances. To Elaine Harnish, Waltham High ' s Cinderella girl, or the girl most likely to succeed and the most studious girl, we leave, knowing that it will be of invaluable aid, an engagement calendar, for both business and social engagements. It ' s been designed especially for you, Elaine, with enough room for telephone numbers and a precise system of keeping future college assignments. To Andrew Meyer, the capable editor of the Mirror and boy most likely to succeed, we be- stow a box of these Mongol blue-black pencils with which he may perfect all future written material. We know that these will aid in the grueling task of reshaping and rewording. To Marie Murphy, our most popular girl and Miss Personality Plus, we give with best wishes this smooth, 1942 model Packard Convertible. What, with the whole student-body at the Wal- tham High convertible-conscious, Muffy will be the envy of everyone ' s eyes. To Russell Longley, Waltham High ' s Robert Taylor, we leave a little blue book. All who at- tended the performance of Young April will understand that this will house addresses, tele- phone numbers, and pertinent notations. To Robert Elder, our class wit, we leave a sixty- year subscription to Political Science and the Lay- man , to neutralize his very definite tendency towards the ridiculous. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal and publish and declare this to be the Codicil to our last Will and Testament, in the presence of the Witnesses named below, this fourth day of June, A. D., 1941. Signed — The Class of 1941 by — Ruth Greene Signed, sealed and published by the said Class of 1941 as and for their last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as Witnesses thereto. Mary C. Mooney William J. Gallagher Lionel Mosher Class Prophecy Miss Ellis , I ordered, take a letter. ' Quote ' Mr. John Mazzarini, President Ringiing Brothers, Barnum Bailey and Mazzarini Circus, Greatest Show on earth, etc. Dear Mr. Mazzarini: We believe that you will be interested in a proposition concerning proper winter clothing for your - er - Miss Ellis, can you think of a substitute for ele- phants? Try to conceive a roundabout way of saying red flannels for elephants. Having given her something to think about for a few minutes, I leaned back in my swivel chair, gazed across my polished mahogany desk and dreamily regarded the view of jumbled sky- scrapers piercing the sky. Being president of the Piggly Wiggly Underwear Co. was a big job, and lately I had been finding it difficult to keep my office force contented. Take those secretaries — I wish somebody would — Eleanor Bennett, Vir- ginia Doucett, and Gladys Young; they ' re all good girls of course, but why should they get more than $800.00 a year? After all, I ' m president and I only get $50,000.00. I looked at the wall chart and saw that sales were falling. Bad, very bad, I thought to my- self, We must start a huge sales campaign. I ' ll send Roland Bonica to New York, John Meola to Philadelphia, Gordon Goodrich to Boston, and Richard O ' Toole to Hollywood. I ' ll have de- signer Marion Johnson create a new Hollywood model, long sleeved, double thickness, purple, yel- low and green red flannels. Boy, that ' ll wow ' em ! That is to say — it will create a considerable sen- sation. Hollywood, eh? By cracky, I ' ll go my- self. I ' ll send O ' Toole to Mudville, Illinois. And so, big business man that I was, I lost no time in putting my thoughts into action and soon was winging my way across the continent in one of Ralph Libby ' s new luxury airliners. The pilots I recognized as former Waltham High cheer leaders, John Madden and Walter Bennett, and the hostess was no less than the best looking girl ANDREW MEYER of the class of ' 41, Pauline Dicks. Ah, I certainly enjoyed that trip. Lovely weather, comfortable seat, wonderful scenery outside and, incidentally, inside. No wonder those boys were pilots. Dick Smelledge, national Beau Brummel, and Chic Rutter were sitting behind me. Chic , I learned, had married a former Waltham girl — forgotten who — and retired to live on her income. Pretty lucky ! Arriving at Hollywood I looked up my old friend, producer Harold Simmons, who was hard at work on his new picture, Stardust and Worms , featuring that dynamic, terrific Richard Keenan, supported by (not literally of course) no less than Hedy Lamarr. Naturally Hedy had aged a bit since our day, but they say she acts the part of a grandmother perfectly. Simi was happy to see me but unfortunately was burdened with a great many troubles. My best actress, Mildred Edwardson, he complained, threatens to go on strike if I don ' t pay her $20,000 a week, and Russ Longley modestly con- fesses that he is the best photographer in Holly- „_,_,_, — Class of 1941- wood and then asks for his salary to be doubled. Troubles, worries, it ' s terrible! Wishing to change the subject, I asked him if there were any more local folks who had made good. Naturally, he replied, Hollywood is over- flowing with them. Leon Ginsburg has been a huge success in the screen version of Charlotte Wolk ' s new novel Watch Out! I ' m Dangerous. He used to be harmless enough ? I thought, but he seems to take to these Dracula and Frankenstein parts like a duck to water. Some hidden emotion never discovered, I suppose. Jason Samuels was another great success in villain parts, which he attributed to his valuable training in high school days, but finally said the strain was too much for him and settled down to keeping bees on his California estate. On the feminine side June Ralph, Barbara Hill, and Pat Smylie have established national reputa- tions as actresses and Kay Hickey, Waltham ' s prima donna, can be heard every morning over the Sum Scum Soap Program. And so we discussed affairs for several hours. After saying goodbye to Simi, I flew back East to resume my strenuous business pace. Think- ing that I might do some business with my class- mates, I returned to Waltham to find out where they were and what they were doing. Knowing that there are no better places to get news than in a sewing circle or a barber shop, I took a chance on the latter. On entering Bob Webb ' s barber shop, I recognized Paul Urpin, Frank Hart, and John Wallace reading funny books (after all these years) and playing pinochle in the corner. Before he had even applied the clippers, Webb was rambling on, Yes sir, that was a tough cam- paign, but we finally got Tierney elected mayor. He ' s negotiating now with Charley Navien, chair- man of the school committee, to get half the teachers in high school dismissed. Claims it ' s for old times ' sake. He gave Pete Lillis the job of director of cemeteries and has named Robert Mar- tin (alias Crusher or Dillinger ) director of the old folks ' home. Pete can ' t do much damage in the cemeteries, but Martin ' s a pretty dangerous character to put in charge of the old folks. Tier- ney also has a whole new staff of secretaries con- sisting of Stella Morelli, Ethel Tyner, Gilda Pal- adino, and Marion Smith. Phyllis Forster and Elizabeth Bamforth have opened a beauty parlor with the intriguing slogan, ' When nature fails, try us. ' Recently Phyllis Keith ' s picture has ap- peared in nation wide advertisements of spark plugs. Class glamour girl is going places I see. Kay Freeman and Boots Perna are successfully running a chain of 5 and 10 stores , and suddenly looking at the clock, he left off abruptly in the middle of his speech and snapped on the radio. This is Nate Towne speaking sports ' fans. Time to light up another pipeful of Whalen ' s blended ragweed. Ask for the original smoker ' s delight. ' It ain ' t hay ' . Now let ' s see what ' s going on in the sports world. It is reported that Waltham ' s own Babe Ruth, ' Basher Manning ' has been sold to the Braves for $45,000.00 Mere chicken feed for this hard hitting slugger. Ro- sario D ' Argento, another Waltham man, is now coach for the Notre Dame football team. But today, folks, is women ' s day in sports. Betty Ohnemus has captured the national figure skating championship and Jane Dorval is the Eastern Women ' s Tennis Champion. Still more Waltham girls including Virginia Hughes, Ruth Leary, Irene Beane, Norine Henry and Gilda Sardi are on their way to the Belgian Congo to take part in the Olympic games. That concludes our three nrnutes sports review, folks. Ask for the original smokers ' delight. Remember it ain ' t — and in- terrupting him quickly, Webb turned off the radio. Yes, sir he said, looking rather worried, Women are monopolizing everything in this town. What an age! Every place I turn I run into women. For instance, there ' s a new bakery shop down at the corner run by Ina Gallant, Mary Gasper, Lorraine LaRose, Eloise Martell, and Alxe Moody. Five of them owning one store. It ' s too much, I tell you. They ' ve taken posses- sion of every job from driving trucks to selling vacuum cleaners. Why Eleanor Hughes, June Lcavitt, Margaret Lally, and Edith Maniace even own the Waltham National Co-operative Savings Bank. Carmela Russo, Laura Sangermano, Phyllis Nelson and Virginia Keyes own a chain of restau- rants and have put all the decent, law-abiding •£«  -  o  0 ' v n-  o-  -o  n« ( ' « 0 ' « ' « o« -  -«I I O C C f T I UA 1  dh «hi« i - hok.  «h i o« 1 i« i.  ( i males out of business. I read in the paper the other day that Marguerite Aucoin, Sarah Colletto, and Florence Somerset are traveling through Italy collecting priceless art treasures. Bah! phooey — double phooey! A woman ' s place is in the home ... of course with . . . er . . . exceptions. I don ' t mind if women are successful on the stage as Pat Mcintosh, Peggy Hatch, and Virginia Caminiti are. That ' s perfectly all right by me, but in competition with honest, hard-working men, that ' s too much, I tell you, too much! Realizing that in his fury Webb had forgotten himself and was cutting a zigzag path down the back of my skull, I grabbed my hat and coat, left him still raving in his shop, and headed towards Dolber ' s Hashhouse for a bite to eat. Suddenly startled by wailing sirens and a loud pealing fire alarm, I was amazed to see a flaming red fire engine roaring down Main Street with John Hurley skillfully maneuvering the huge truck through the traffic. Joseph Deneault, Leonard King, and Arthur Hagen were clinging on in back, while soon following it came Fire Chief Tom Quakers riding in his speedy limousine chauffered by James Gregorecus. When I saw Al Lyons and John Pendergast riding in the back seat of the chief ' s car, I asked James Darling, who was standing on the corner, what their official capacity was. They have none, he replied, but as retired, I should say, tired business men, they feel the need of recreation and fresh air and en- joy the ride. When I arrived at the restaurant my passage was somewhat blocked by two girls, Susan Boc- cabello and Mary Ferrelli who were marching up and down on strike. Since I realized this was only a publicity stunt of manager John Renna to at- tract customers. I ignored them and entered. The waitresses whom I recognized as Dorothy Reyn- olds, Yolande Cacciatore, Marguerite Tarpey, and Angelina Santalucito, were scurrying busily around waiting on tables. Over in a corner sat Stephen Papia fingering a shining ,gold watch chain and Norman Dube was seated next him doodling with a pencil on the white table cloth. Just two more successful classmates, I assumed. Suddenly catching sight of two very academic and scholarly gentlemen, Professor Robert Healy and Carroll Brown engaged in a heated argument at a nearby table, I went over to see what the trouble was. Can you imagine it? shouted Healy, He thinks that 3.517 divided by the square root X + Y — 7.123 cubed equals the imaginary negative coefficient of 9.3415 minus X Y 2 W X 2 plus • No , I interrupted, can ' t imagine it, never could imagine it, and never shall imagine it. So long, gents. Morton Milesky, now champion Fuller Brush salesman of America, and Bill Hopkins were eat- ing at another table, so I decided to join them. We chewed the fat for a little while (and I do mean fat and I do mean chew) and talked over the news. Though I had learned the where- abouts of most of my classmates, there yet re- mained several others about whom I knew noth- ing. Pearl Dougherty ' s great thirst for American history (or was it Mr Hodge ' s apples) has in- fluenced her to become a teacher of that subject back in our dear old Alma Mater. Two other classmates, Beatrice Olding and Barbara Pearson are society reporters for the Waltham Blare, and Irene Higgins, the famous violinist, who has abandoned classical music for rhumbas is now touring South America. Occasionally, Bill said, he sees George Moneybags Cox strolling around the city. George made a fortune on the stock exchange and retired to his home town to be a play boy for the rest of his days. Talented Marie Murphy, who has advanced far in the field of nursing, has just published her latest book, The Romance of Kinaesthetic Pro- tonema as Applied to Gametophic Cytoplasm. (That may be her idea of romance but it ' s not mine) . After I had finished my meal I went over to pay the cashier. Recognizing her as being an- other member of the class of ' 41, Gloria Wood- land, I generously told her to keep the two cents change for old times ' sake. I ' m like that, you know; always like to spread a little sunshine wherever I can. No sooner had I left the restaurant than whom should I see but the one and only, Dick Ben- nett, now a major general in the army. Since Dick was evidently a man of great importance •g -  -( -  o-«H -  ( -  c -  -o-  t  -o-  -o-  o-  -( -  -o-a -n-«f I O C C A T 1 (-) I 1 m- - m- :- m ' .- m. ,-m -i ' . m- ' , m-r l -m -n- m- .-mm- ' i-mim- - m- -mm -wm ' l and influence, it occurred to me that I might be able to get a sizeable contract for furnishing the army with my new Hollywood special tailor made, long sleeved, double thickness, purple, yellow, and green red flannels. This was the golden oppor- tunity of a lifetime. Dick, I asked, Do your men ever get very cold? Yes he said. In the winter time on cold, windy nights? Yes he said again. Well then, old pal, my very dear friend, my life long companion, let ' s drop into Dolber ' s Hashhouse , said I taking his arm in a very friendly way, I have a little proposition that might interest you.

At the first meeting the Army was present in the form of motion pictures. Entertainment was provided by members of the Club and later, re- freshments were served. Also at this meeting our Superintendent, Mr. Slayton, gave a short talk. Christmas came right in time for our second meeting. The ever popular actor of Waltham High, Mr. Thomas Roche, was superb in his role of Saint Nick, and a galaxy of stars presented an amusing program, climaxed by refreshments of appropriate shapes and colors. Washington ' s Birthday provided us with a patriotic setting for our third meeting. Kay Hickey made the time more enjoyable by her delightful singing, and others gave readings. The May assembly of members was for the pur- pose of giving students helpful hints in connection with entering the business world. Of course all good things must come to an end, and the Com- mercial Club of 1941 was no exception. Re- gretfully we closed our books for the year, and held our last meeting on Prospect Hill. Here, in the coolness and peacefulness of the woods, a hungry crowd devoured weenies and pop; there- by culminating a highly diversif ied and satisfac- tory season. And last, but decidedly not least, we humbly express our thanks to Mr. George Lees for his untiring work and patience in planning and con- ducting all of our meetings.

The officers for the past year have been: President, Robert Healy; Vice-Presi- dent, Wilma Winberg; Secretary, Betty Eveler; Treasurer, Marie Murphy. The first meeting was held in September with an amateur show for en- tertainment. The following meetings consisted of presentations of plays, a quiz program, a Christmas party, and readings by Mr. Ward. The talent of the members was displayed at the annual presenta- tion of three one-act plays. One of the deciding factors in the success of the plays was the adver- tising ability of Ruth Alcott. Many of the mem- bers of the Club have participated in the Senior Play, the Operetta, Naughty Marietta, and many plays presented by the various clubs of Waltham. All in all, the past season has been very success- ful for the Dramatic Club. Robert Healy, 1941.

Following this auspicious beginning, many formations were planned and practiced for pre- sentation at the football games. The applause that greeted the band after each of its intricate maneuvers was well earned reward for its hard work. On September 29 the band was heard over W. N. A. C. on Billy B. Vann ' s program, Spread- ing New England ' s Fame. On October 16 the draft bill was ushered in with music by the band. During Christmas Week the band made its customary trip to the Waltham Hospital and City Hall, and on March 20 it held a well received concert at the South Junior High School. At the time of this writing the band members are looking forward to the Music Festivals which are to be held in Plymouth, Mass. ; Athol, Mass. ; and Lewiston, Maine. Many of the bandsmen are starting on a trip to Washington, D. C on April 28th. In Atlan- tic City, New Jersey, these boys will be spectators at the National Music Festival. Those of us who are graduating and leaving the band will look back with fond memories when we hear the snap- py rhythm of a march such as Steel King or the soft melodious tones of Down South. And for those fond memories and happy times, f e have to thank our competent director, Mr. Raymond Crawford. ORCHESTRA The orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Crawford, has once again completed a thoroughly enjoyable and music-filled year. No doubt all of you have heard on Tuesdays or Thursdays the melodious strains of The Fortune Teller or Sullivan ' s Operatic Gems or possibly the snappy My Maryland as the orchestra re- hearses. The orchestra this year has been prominent in many ways. Between acts of the Senior Play, and also at the Teachers ' Play, the orchestra played to a receptive audience.. Later on, the orchestra furnished the orchestral background to the operetta Naughty Marietta. Again on Class Day and at Graduation the or- chestra will furnish music when Mr. Crawford, for the last time in 1941, raises his baton to begin. NAUGHTY MARIETTA The audience settles down to quiet anticipation as the lights are dimmed. The curtain slowly rises, and the operetta Naughty Marietta is under way. It ' s gay costuming and tuneful melodies were highly pleasing to capacity audi- ences on the both nights it was presented. Such songs especially as Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life, I ' m Falling in Love With Someone, and the ever popular Italian Street Song brought nostalgic memories to many in the audience. The female leads were well handled by Kath- erine Hickie and Naomi Haag. James Mackay and Warren Towne performed capably in the op- posite roles. Pauline Blay and Eugenia ONeii also received well merited applause for their fine singing and acting. Helen Grant, Bob Healey, Yolanda Cacciatore, and Charles Pepper supplied the comedy relief to perfection, as evidenced by the laughter brought forth by their efforts. The large supporting cast maintained the same high standards as the principals. Once again our own Mr. Raymond A. Craw- ford directed and presented an operetta fully as successful as any in the past.

Waltham ' s 1941 football team finished an in- and-out season with three victories, four ties, and three defeats. Through the first five games, Wal- tham held its own, although at times not too im- pressively. Then came the Lynn English game in spacious Manning Bowl. After edging Medford, Waltham deadlocked a superior Newton eleven on a wet field. The Everett game, postponed from November 2, proved disastrous and Bennett, Falzone, and Goldman were lost for the final game with Brockton. Successive injuries to Tony Mancuso kept this defensive backfield star sidelined for most of the season. He was, however, elected captain of next year ' s eleven. Waltham ' s late-season slump was greatly due to the loss of Elliot, MacDonald, and Meisner. Many linemen will return next fall, but Butler and Mancuso are the only experienced backs that will not graduate.

O— , _■ _ «$ HOCKEY Waltham was represented by only an average hockey team in the Bay State League this year. This sextet finished the season in a tie for fourth place having won four games, tied three, and lost three in ten contests. Waltham started off im- pressively by beating Needham, defending cham- pions, and B. C. High. From this point on, how- ever, Waltham was just another hockey team, playing well at times and not so well at other times. The team was handicapped by lack of experi- ence and loss of all but two lettermen from the great team of the preceding year. Capt. Petrowsky and Rutter, the two holdovers, were chosen on the Bay State All-Stars second team along with Charley Butler, the leading scorer of this year ' s sextet. Next year ' s team promises to be of champion- ship calibre, as the whole first line and an abund- ance of reserve strength will return. THE SCHEDULE Waltham 1 Needham Waltham 1 B. C.

The club had a record of eleven victories and five defeats, but its average of 33 points per game is more indicative of its cham- pionship calibre than its won and lost record. Severely handicapped as it was by a series of misfortunes, the team never lost heart but kept in the running for the Suburban League champion- ship throughout the season. Much credit for the fine showing made by the team goes to Morton, Skakle, and Doyle, all of whom exceeded expectations. Norton led the team in scoring with 119 points. Eddie Petrovich, Johnny Furdon, Cliff Adams, Eddie Demarais Elliot Leaf, and Dick Bennett all aided greatly in the success of the team. Bennett, despite injuries, won recognition on the Suburban League all-star team. Next year ' s team appears to shape up favorably with the return of Furdon, Demarais, Adams, and Leaf. Several good prospects are also coming up from the jayvee s and junior highs.

Our fair lassies, like so many female Robin Hoods, trip down to their Sherwood For- est on the corner of Beaver and Linden streets, to try their skill.

CHORUS Then, stick to it, boys, play the game ev ' ry man, Fight it to a finish, do the best that you can. While we shout Victory! While we shout Victory! While we shout Victory and Waltham High forever! The red and white, boys, can ' t lose the fray, The colors must win new laurels today. So while they ' re fighting let ' s show we have no fears, And make the hills tremble with our cheers, RAH! RAH! RAH! Then, when we ' ve won, boys, ring loud the bell! Let its old voice the glad tidings tell, While we proclaim the glorious name Of our beloved High School, dear old Waltham High. CHORUS BATTLE CRY Adapted by A. N. Burke from a Football Song of Wesleyan University Onward we ' re marching to victory With song and cheer, Let the game begin, for we ' re here to win; Ev ' ry heart is devoid of fear. Put forth ev ' ry ounce of strength, boys, Make ready to do or die; And, while you are fighting, we ' re here Shouting our Battle cry, Hi-yi! REFRAIN Then we ' ll fight for old Waltham High! Never give in. Fight to the end boys, Might and right will win, So keep on fighting ' til victory Crowns every guy. Then it ' s fight, fight, fight, For Waltham High. Break through their line, boys, we ' re fighting now . . With might and main, It is Waltham ' s day, and you ' re here to play Bring the victory home again. Throw back ev ' ry play they made, boys, Just hold ' em and ne ' er say die; We ' re back of you now and ever Shouting our Battle cry, Hi-yi! REFRAIN Class of 1941— A GRADUATE WRITES United States Naval Training Station, San Diego, California. Dear Mr. : I promised you a letter sometime ago and finally I got around to it. Starting with our entraining from Newport: We started with 10 men at 8 o ' clock at night. The next morning we woke up in Albany. After a few hours liberty we started again. Passing through some mountainous country — ■ which finally whittled down to hills — we came to the farms of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Not much of interest, so we sleep all the day and night. However, when we pulled into Cleveland and got liberty we saw all the big cereal companies and the long lake steamers on Lake Erie. After a bit of night life we went on. The next place of interest was St. Louis, although the Mississippi was very disappointing. It seemed only a shallow, lazy, mud hole. However, there were crews of men working on flood control on the banks. Probably we saw it at its low season. All the middle west cities are about the same — poor imitations of the east. The people here, however, hadn ' t seen many sailors so we made quite a hit with them and were given parties etc. by big farmer Assoc ' ts. When we went around to ' the night clubs we were sometimes mistaken for Britishers because we had on our blue flat hats and they thought only American sailors wore the white. We had quite a time putting on British accents and not denying the implication. We pulled out in the middle of the night and followed the Mississippi, right down to Kansas. For hours we looked out of the window and saw only flat, red clay fields. It was very, very monotonous and in my opinion they should give Kansas back to the Indians. The Texas panhandle was just as desolate. We finally came to the eastern idea of the West — sandy wasteland with a few scattering of cattle. We then passed some big herds and felt better, so we decided Texas wasn ' t too bad. New Mexico and Arizona were very pretty al- though it was hot and muggy passing through the deserts. At Yuma, Arizona, we had liberty and saw some Indians — but they were a sleepy, retiring bunch so again our hopes went down. Then came the rockies. with jagged peaks and beautiful sun rises and sun sets. Really beautiful country. We went through the Great American Desert and the Imperial Valley where all your vegetables and fruits come from in the winter. Finally came the orange and grapefruit coun- try, and then into Los Angeles we went. We had liberty. L. A. is quite different from the East so we enjoyed the Spanish, Oriental, and other foreign sections. We were still in flat hats which are wrong in this climate but our others were sent on ahead) and we again were mis- taken for British and had great fun as impos- tors . The next morning we hit San Diego and our home for a while. As I read this over I And I forgot to mention the corn and wheat sections which we went through in the middle west. Also I wish to register disgust at the so called ranches . They are sadly lacking in the romantic impres- sions we had. They are merely desolate farms with a small house and wind mill (of a sort). The cowboys were in ten gallon hats OK. but no six shooters. Gee! how could Hop-a-long Cassidy fool me — I thought he was the great American hero. Also an impression which still remains with me is the poverty of the people from Penn. to the Mississippi and from Kansas to Texas. They lived in small shacks with noth- ing much else. Well that is about all I can remember about the trip over. Maybe I am boring you but you can give me some afternoon sessions (if you can catch up with me). Apparently travel in the Navy is true. Then the enlistment posters said education . I ' m learning quite a bit in school here. I ' m supposed to be an electrician. Well, 4 hours out of 8 is spent on electricity — 2 hours on guns — 2 hours on seamanship. We go to school 8 hours a day — 6 days a week. My marks have all been above 93% so far and I ' m getting along swell. It isn ' t too hard to study such interesting subjects. Apparently the education was also true. Then comes adventure . We seized 4 Ital- ian ships. I don ' t know what is going to come out of this, but maybe more adventure is in the wind. Please excuse me — I started to write a short note and I end up by writing a book — . Sincerely, P. S. Marshall Laforet. Please convey my regards to all— Bryant Stratton An up-to-date school with 76 years of experience in training and placing young men and women in Business Administration, Junior Executive, and Secretarial positions.
