The word WARE, first thought a queer name for a town, has an unusual mean- ing. It is a translation of the Indian word N1cNAMEsEcK which means 'Tfislzing I2askm ' or fish trap. Long before the white man strayed into the wilderness, the Quaboag Indians had found good fishing at the falls of this broad stream, and yearly came to camp beside it during the salmon season. In addition to spearing the fish as they leaped the tumbling waters, the Indians built traps of twigs and branches at the foot of the falls. NENAMEsEcK, they called these trapsg and NENAMESECK, they named the river. The sturdy settlers who presently chose our township for their pioneering translated the Indian name IYENAMESECK into weir, the word they had used in the Old Country for fish trap g but being Scotch Irish, they pronounced it w11'e. Hence came WARE, the white man's name for the river and then for the town on its banks. It is a name with an Indian background. It is a name with a history. liven as the Town Seal preserves the figure of an Indian spearing his salmon, so the title of our high school annual keeps alive the ancient and beautiful name of our river -- NENAMESECTIC. Um lecfloallan Because of the blessings which Grenville Park has brought us, we, the Class of 1949, dedicate our NENAMESECK to the enrichment of life through a deeper appreciation of nature and of the great outdoors. To hiin who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forins she speaks a various language. For his gayer hours she has a voice of gladness and a sinile and eloquence of beauty, and she glides into his darker inusings with a nzild and healing sympathy that steals away their sharpness e er he is aware. - BRYANT Um 7heme Across the street from Ware High School beyond a massive gateway lies Grenville Park, one hundred acres of meadows, woodland, hillsides, and fields where throughout our four years' stay at Ware High much of our life outside the classroom has been spent, Countless indeed are the hours of study, of exercise, of recreation, and of rest passed within its peaceful confines. Many students walk through the park on their way to and from school g more spend noon recesses there, eating their lunches on the benches or strolling along the roads reviewing the events of the day. During good weather physical education classes are held on its spacious fields. In the park students of science may study nature at first hand while, VVare athletes practice baseball, football, softball, and tennis there. In leisure hours the boys and girls enjoy fishing or canoeing on the river, cycling along the winding roads or walking i11 the woods, picking blueberries on the hillsides, and picnicing at the fireplace. In- winter there are skating parties on the river, sliding and skiing down the slopes, and snowshoeing wherever one wishes to go. Because it has been so closely connected with school life and activities, we have chosen Grenville Park as the theme of the 1949 NENAlN'1ESECK, and against the Park as a background we are presenting the boys and the girls, our Jeans and our Joes'l Cwe call theinj, in their 1948-49 year at VVare High School.

Gilbert, both of Ware, County of Ilaznpsliire, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in consideration of one dollar and other valuable considerations paid by the inhabi- tants of the Town of Ware, do hereby renzise, release, and forever qnitclaiin nnto tl1e said inhabitants of the Town of lllare, a certain tract of land in said Ware . . . Futhernzore said premises are hereby conveyed by the grantors as a rneinorial to their deceased son, Grenvilleg and this conveyance is inade npon the strict condi- tions finvolving forfeiture in case of breachj: first, that the preniises hereby granted shall be forever used and at all times lcept and niaintained available for use as a public parkg . . . and third, that the same shall always be called Grenville Park. . . In witness whereof, we, the said f. H. Grenville Gilbert and Grace B. Gilbert, hereunto set our hands and seals this eighth clay of Mareli, in the year one thousand nine hundred and nine. Through the document from which the above quotation was taken beautiful Grenville Park came into our possession. Stretching a half mile from north to south between Church Street and the -Wlare River, the park may be entered by four massive but simple stone gateways, the most imposing of which is directly opposite the high school. Not a clay in the year passes, but some of the high school students enter one of these familiar gateways to while away a leisure hour or two. In the winter we may be carrying our skis or dragging a toboggan on our way to the hill near the old stove. In spring or summer we may be swinging a baseball bat or a tennis racquet, carrying a fish pole or walking with nothing else to do but admire the beautiful trees, the restful hills, and the river slipping,placidly past. However, if we could have stood on the site of the park two hundred fifty years ago, we should have been looking at a very different pictureg for then we might have seen a band of Indians crossing the river at the Narrows and proceeding through the park across what is now Highland Street. This marked the Hadley Trail, an Indian route which later became one of the main highways of travel, from east to west, through the Province of Massachusetts. I1 L, s.. L ,Z Q L- ,..

J. 1, STE --Q H' ,!.,-ji ':3.-1, 2 vm JZ In lZZ9 Jabez Omstead, VVare's first settler, who had received a grant of land, which probably covered a good part of the Township of NVare, traveling the Hadley Trail from Brookfield, crossed the river and located his farm just west of the Nenameseck. Not many years ago the cellar-hole of his home, long an object of interest and curiosity, was filled in during the process of grading the read through Grenville Park. To Jabez Omstead is due the credit of establishing the first mills in our town. VVhen the new settlers came to live in VVare, Jabez, from time to time, sold pieces of his land. These, in turn, were sold and resold until the present site of the park came into possession of the Gilberts through a succession of purchases in 1907. Mr. Gilbert was then one of the leading manufacturers in Ware, being the .rwner of the famous Gilbert mills. In 1901 the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were saddened by the loss of their only son, Grenville Brown Gilbert, who died at the age of sixteen. Feeling that they could in no better way keep his memory alive than by linking it with a living monument of everlasting beauty which would be a continuous factor in the life of the community, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert donated this land for use as a public park. Up to this time the Pumping Station Grounds and Aspen Grove Cemetery had been used for pleasure strolling and driving by the people of WV are. At the time of its acquisition the park was nothing more than unattractive and uncultivated pasture land. It was made to look as we know it today through the efiforts of Arthur A. Shurtlefif of Boston, who was chosen landscape architect. As can be readily seen, Mr. Shurtleff 'was an excellent choice for the position. His idea was to keep the land in a natural state like the rugged, hilly country across the river and yet develop it so that it would serve theldaily life of the busy inhabitants of our town. His work was so successful that today it looks like a threshhold for the wilderness of the hills beyond. Q The first work in the development of the park was the improvement of boundaries. This was accomplished by the acquisition of additional tracts of land bordering that already acquired, thus making the lines more continuous and .eliminating jogs and elbows. The boundaries are marked by a stone Wall, which was built from the rocks taken from the land. 1 ai - .J ,.. ,.. L-1 J JQJ L42 5-if :QL 'lu ,-'AFI .S..'I.Z.Z Cf: 11 'C-1 1 .-. '31 ....

Since the chief goal of the designer was naturalness, Mr. Shurtleff deliber- ately avoided a formal or symmetrical arrangement of the trees. Trees were planted only where shade was needed and in places where they would seem to have been placed by nature. Although many imported trees were available to the designers, their use in the park was deliberately avoided as was the use of cultivated flowers. Common New England trees such as the oak, ash, elm, and maple were planted, In like manner natural plants-such as white daisies, joe Pye-weed, Queen Anne's lace, steeple bush, and field lilies-were planted. Through the years many improvements have taken place in the park. Ball fields have been laid out, tennis courts constructedg drinking fountains installedg and benches have been scattered throughout the area. Today there are four beautiful stone entrances. Recently the VV are Lion's Club built in the park at great expense a picturesque, ultra-modern bandstand. This beautiful edihce stands just above the tennis courts against a background of woods. In 1911 the park was the site of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town of NfVare. It is interesting to note -that at this time and in honor of this occasion the Reverend Arthur Chase's History of Vtfaren was written. Two years ago the park was also the scene of the Vlfelcome Home Celebration for all local veterans of VVorld VV ar H. Not only have Grenville Park's beauty and utility helped to make the lives of the natives of VVare a little richer and fuller, but those who have come to visit our town also appreciate its blessings. In the days before World VV ar I1 a world traveler, passing through VV are, chanced to drive through Grenville Park. His comment was that he had never seen in his travels elsewhere a finer park in an industrial community of the size of our town. Sylvester Baxter in an article in the Boston Transcript on New England memorial parks says these things of Grenville Park: f'Here in' Massachusetts in the busy manufacturing town of VV are is to be found the most notable instance of a public park established as a memorial-a park donated by the Gilberts to assure their home town a lastingly beautiful environment of practical utility and an inexhaustible source of recreation and health on a site where natural beauty lies in abundance. Earl Anderson, Editor-in-Chief -nnu1lsmxiirwf -awllinvmzmnumanx GGMMZLZQ pak -- Wacalicm .fmfzcf Iiarly one spring morning I was awakened by the cheerful song of a robin, and getting up, I hurried to the window to see him. There he was, perched on a branch of a nearby tree, singing and singing as if at any instant his red breast would burst. It's a beautiful day for fishingf' I thought to myself as I sat there gazing out the window at the beautiful clear morning. And because there was still time to get to the park before sunrise, I called my friend Bill, who loves fishing as much as I do, and asked him to go with me. I-Ie needed no persuasion: so after a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, I gathered together my rod and fiies and set out in high spiritsg for every breath of that crisp spring air made me glad just to be alive. Bill was waiting for me at the park entrance, and we started down the path together with a feeling a real ambition. When we reached the water's edge, a golden sun was just peeping over the hilltops through a cluster of feather-like clouds that glowed with the color of fire. The faint shadows made each leaf and twig sparkle in the soft light. While I sat assembling my rod and gazing at the enchanting beauty around me, I felt thankful that we have so near at hand this beautiful park where we may enjoy nature at her finest. The trout were even biting that morning, and before ten o'clock we had taken our limit on two brown spiders I had tied just the evening before. When we reached home, we had a meal of trout fit for a king. That afternoon we rode our bicycles over to the tennis courts to meet some friends. The hours fairly tlewg and in almost no time it was too dark to playg so all the fellows decided to go for a swim. The water was cold but wonderfully refreshing after the strenuous exercise of the afternoon of tennis. Later that evening we climbed the hill to the fireplace to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. There gathering around the fire, we talked and laughed and told stories while the dancing fiames reflected the genuine happiness in the eyes of everyone present. By this time a big yellow moon had risen over the park. It was just hanging there-watching us. After a moonlight dip we started home filling the cool night air with the laughter of a good time. Gradually the crowd dispersed until I found myself alone again at the end of this all-too-short day. As I lay in bed that night thinking of all the things that had happened since 'll P k. dawn, I remembered that my whole day's fun had been spent in Grenvi e ar Never before had I realized what a real vacation land we have right here at home.

Leroy Greenfield - - - The Builder An old man, going a lonely road Caine at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was fiowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. The sullen stream had no fear for himg But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. 1 Old Man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength with building here. Your journey will end with closing day. You never again will pass this way. You have crossed the chasm deep and wide. XYhy build this bridge at evening tide F The builder lifted his old gray head. . Good friend, in the path I have come, he said, f'There followed after me to-day 'A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-headed lad may a pitfall beg He, too, must cross in the twilight dim. Good friend, I am building the bridge for him. XVe are quoting the poem The Builder, one of Mr, ciI'6Cl1fQl6lCl'S favorite poems, because we feel that it typifies the spirit with which he worked in his twenty-two years of good and faithful service in the XYare Schools. lt was with deep regret that students, teachers, and townspeople received the news of his resignationg but all wish him much happiness in the years to come.

JEAN and JOE Now Cross the PARK - to music slow L -,T-,,,f Lil l X - Q rgxx 'Gi' 55 '35 fad 'WS wwf lldkkr, From Grenville Park Bench 14 pwpkecg Last evening after walking in Grenville Park for a considerable time, I decided to rest on one of the many park benches. l was very tired and soon became drowsy. The blue evening shadows, the soft sounds in the evening woods, and the warm night breeze increased my drowsiness, and before long I could feel myself slipping into slumber. lfVhen l awoke, the sun was just climbing into view over the purple hills. l sat up and looked about me. The familiar landmarks were gone, my clothes were torn and ragged, and my face was covered with a thick woolly beard. Quite bewildered, l left the bench and walked along a nearby road. Being completely unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, l decided to ask my wayiat the first opportunity, ln about five minutes l sighted a tafl man walking slowly toward me. He appeared to be quite amused at my ragged appearance. l asked the stranger the present date, who he was, and what strange land he inhabited. He told me l was living in the year of our Lord 1970, that l was in Grenville Park located in the town of Vfare, and that his name was Earl Anderson. Vtlowl llihat in the name of Neptune happened to the past twenty-one years? l made myself known to Earl and started barraging him with a lot of questions. Among them were in- quiries as to the occupations of my former classmates. As nearly as l can recall, this is the tabulation as liarl told it. Admiral Alfred Bousquet has led an expedition party into the jungles of Brazil in search of the following group of women aviators: Germaine Paquette, Cynthia Baptiste, Ann XYojtowicz, Theodora Durepo, and lrene Pasierb, who were forced down in the dense jungle. Among the brave, hardy men accompanying Alfred on the trip are VVilliam Pelski, ,David l.iquornik, and Gerald Guimond. These fellows have offered their services just for the mental satisfaction brought about by the probable rescue. Professor Robert Alexander, head research chemist for the Dot Tworek farms, has invented a new ready-mixed chocolate milk shake. Dot has made quite a fortune selling the milk at her roadside dairy bar. Alice Sliski, Lillian Tenczar, Dot Twible, and lrene Sojka work as soda jerks for the Firm, and it is reported that there is an abundance of male customers. Doctor Eugene lilingler, the famous foot specialist, has been hired by the renowned concert pianist, Mike Iastrzebski. It seems as though Mike has mastered the art of playing the piano with his toes and needs the care of a trained specialist. Doctor Klingler is assisted by most competent and charming nurses, Helen Merrick, Pat Otis, and Lillian Miskiewicz. Mike says his toes are in excellent form for each concert. Sally Scharrett has become the greatest lady wrestler in the world. Sally has defended her title twenty-one times without a defeat. Stephanie Slosek, .Iean Irwin, a11d -Ioyce Rodgers act as very capable seconds when Sally is in the ring. Theresa Deslauriers, Yvette Beauregard, Jeannette Couture, and Isabelle Kowalski have joined the Paul Decelle and VX'illiam Simons Opera Company. The girls are presently appearing in the famed opera, Come I'Vii!1 ffm l31'c'c':e. Irene Kowalski, Jeanne Casavant, and Betty jackson have become leading fashion models for the Saul Steiner studios. Mr. Steiner employs the great space rocket pilots, l'aul Deslauriers and XYalter Mastalerz, to ily him to nearby planets on business trips. Quiet little Roland Bonrgault has become supreme ruler and bottle washer for the planet Mars. Roland, bcause of his jovial laughter, was chosen by the Martians to pep up the somewhat solemn planet. Teddy l'ajak and Guido Masse assist Roland in this project. The boys are doing very well in the pepper-upper field. As a rare treat, Roland. accompanied by the trumpets of Eddie and Teddie, will often sing to the people, Enough said! The famous scientist, George Shoum, is busy trying to develop a smokeless cigarette for the john Mazurek laboratories. After they have completed their present task, they will start work on a type of dehydrated water. 'Iohn isn't too sure about the boys, but he does admit they have good ideas. Catherine Sullivan, Lorraine Archambault, and Florence Konicki have made remarkable progress in the held of cooking. Their favorite expression is VVhat is it After Earl had finished his narration, he bid me farewell and departed for parts unknown. I was very tired and decided to sit down on a nearby bench. I could feel myself slipping into a quiet, undisturbed sleep. Suddenly I awoke. The familiar sights were back. I must have been dreaming. s VVhenever I stroll through the Park in the evening, as I often do, I stop and wonder if my dream will ever come true. VV. F.

JEANS and .IOES of 1949 At Ware High School and Grenville Park Cn September 5, l945, a new group of seventy young students from all parts of VVare, many coming through the Park, entered the portals of VVare High School, ready to start new adventures in learning. As we seated ourselves at our respective home room desks, we gasped and said, 'Tour long years to gof, But today as we sit here and look back, these seem the shortest four years in all our lives. During the second week of school under the supervision of Miss Gabrielle LeMaitre we selected the following officers to represent us through the year: Germaine Paquette, president, George Greenwood, vice-president, Paul Desforges, secretary, and Edward Masse, treasurer. On October 12, 1945, the SenioriClass held in our honor the freshman reception at the high school gymnasium, here we were introduced to all the mem- bers of the faculty. For many of us it was our first f'big dance, and we were quite thrilled. Right from the start our class seemed destined to take an active part in athletics. To the football team we gave seven players 5 to the basketball squad, three. Many others took part in extracurricular activities which included the cadet corps, the glee clubs, and the band. Thus the school year rolled to an end. After a short summer vacation we returned here in the fall of l946 to resume our studies. Though slightly fewer in number, we had, however, acquired two new members. They were Michael jastrzebski of Webster, and Eugene Klingler of Emlenton, Pennsylvania. During the second week of school we met under the supervision of our adviser, Miss Katherine jordan, and elected class officers for the year. This time we chose Walter Mastalerz, president, Paul Decelle, vice-president, Lillian Tenczar, secretary, and Dean Brown, treasurer. As mentioned before, athletics were to play a prominent role for us in our stay at Ware High School. Those who performed ably upon the football field in our class and received high school letters during the sophomore year include Edward Masse, Dean Brown, Alfred Bousquet, Theodore Pajak, Paul Decelle, Paul Deslauriers, and Earl Anderson. On the basketball team were Theodore Pajak, Edward Masse, Robert St.Germaine, Earl Anderson, Paul Deslauriers, Alfred Bousquet, David Liquornik, and VVilliam Simons. To the girls, basketball team we gave Sally Scharrett, Dorothy Tworek, Irene Kowalski, Claire Labier, and jean Swanson. Irene Sojka was eegted captain of the team for the junior and senior years, This year also the girls went undefeated in the Valley Wheel League. The following May the class under the guidance of our adviser, Miss jordan, met and decorated the gymnasium in preparation for the sophomore hop. At this affair the members of the Boys' and Girls' Basketball teams received letters for their participation in school athletics. Throughout the remainder of the year the class participated in all of the school's extracurricular activities, Vllhen we returned to our classes in the fall of 1947, we began to feel more seriously the responsibilities that faced us, and we tried to adjust ourselves to meet them. Most of us now selected the type of course we would like to follow and which would prepare us for careers in later life. Those among us who were planning to further their education began now to inquire about the different colleges and the courses they had to offer. It did not take us long this year to settle down to the routine of school work. At our first junior class meeting in September we elected the following slate of officers: Paul Decelle, president, Dorothy Tworek, vice-president: Sally Scharrett, secretary, and Jeannette Couture, treasurer. Qur adviser for this and the following year was Miss Elizabeth Connell. Vile acquired two new members in 1947: Betty Ann jackson of jackson, Michigan, and Cynthia Baptiste of VVest Wfarren. On the football field memlzers of our class giving stellar performances were Paul Decelle, Earl Anderson, Theodore Pajak, Paul Deslauriers, Edward Masse, Michael jastrzebski, and Alfred Bousquet. This year four members of the boys' basketball team performed particularly well, in fact, well Qough to enable the school to win the Western Massachusetts Basketball Trophy. They were VValter Mastalerz, Alfred Bousquet, Paul Deslauriers, and Theodore Pajak. Pajak won the award for being the outstanding athlete in school this year. This was the first year of the traveling assemblies, and the junior class was well represented in it. Those in our class who took part in its preparation and performances before the different schools of the Valley VVheel were Jeannette Couture, Irene Kowalski, Germaine Paquette, Claire Labier, Sally Scharrett, Helen Merrick, Isabelle Kowalski, and Eugene Klingler, Un May 14, 1948, we held our long remembered junior promenade. Under the capable assistance of our adviser, Miss Connell, and chairman of decorations, Yvette Beauregard, the town hall was decorated with a maypole in the center of the tloor and colored Streamers running to the walls. johnny Rogers and his orchestra played, Paul Decelle, class president, led the grand march, and the affair was a great success. When the senior class of 1948 was graduated, members of our class dec- orated the town hall and ushered in the guests. Helen Merrick was in charge of decorations. That night, for writing the best essay on any patriotic subject, Irene Pasierb won the medal given by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Thus our junior year drew to a close. On September 8, 1948, we walked through the doors of VVare High School as seniors. Miss Connell again became our adviser, and we elected the following ofhcers: Paul Decelle, presidentg Edward Masse, vice-president, Irene Sojka, secretary, and Helen Merrick, treasurer, VVi11iam Pelski became business manager. In the middle of October we presented the freshman reception in the high school gymnasium. At this time we introduced the members of the freshman class to the members of the faculty. The gymnasium was decorated under the supervision of our adviser, Miss Connell. Gn December IO, 1948, the class presented its play, june Madl' under Miss Isabelle L'Heureux, the faculty director. The members of the athletic teams were the same this year as last year. The same line showing was made this year as during the past by the players of our class. At last, as the weeks passed, it came time for us to take the annual senior trip to VVashingtcn. It is impossible to tell of all the things seen or encountered on this journey. The only thing we can say to the other classes is, UGO to see it lor yourself, Our class is very grateful to Miss Cannell and Mr. Sullivan for their guidance during the journey. Now the year draws to a close. Commencement is almost upon us. Soon Class Day, Banquet Day, and Graduation will have passed. Then The Class of 1949 will leave VVare High School and Grenville Park where the past four happy years have been spent.

K'Iit1gene lilingler and liarl Anderson. editors-in-chief, and Michael Iastr- zebski. editor of art, formed the editorial board. Helen Merrick acted as the boards chief typist. This editorial static made a great teani, sparing neither time nor effort as it worked with one purpose-to give ns a line book. Almost all the literary work passed through lCarl's hands. lingenes specialty is pliotograplty, but he also served as a literary and an art editor. The attractive, new cover design, so appropriate to our theine, is lingene's handiwork. The clever original sketches which introduce each section are the work of our art editor, Michael jastrzcbski. Grenville l.',ZlI'li is the theme of the 1949 Nenameseck. The aim of the editors was to give Wzuc not only a book in which the story of the school year in chronicled but also one in which our school and our community are linked together by a theme which will bring to our readers interesting, important, but little known historical data con- cerning our town. Much research work is necessary for such a project. Two splendid essays by the editors-in-chief and a map of the park by Earl Anderson will be of particular interest to Ware people, The beautiful picture of our high school and the many unusual park views photographed by Eugene Klingler enhance the value of the book to anyone acquainted with this region.

A few of the things acted upon and carried out by the council are the purchase of a phonograph with records, the running of the Friday night dances, the sponsoring of the magazine campaign, the putting on of the Valentine Dance, and the installation of a ' lx suggestion box on the bulletin board, The Student Council meets every two wee 's during the Iirst period on Monday. From GRENVILLE PARK the Thrushes call Is Heard in Our ASSEMBLY HALL At least every two weeks the Ware High jeans and ,loes meet in the assembly hall, whose windows command a magnihcttnt view of Gren- ville Park. However, they do not meet to study nature during these periods. which are lfiven over either to instruct- bv ions by Mr. Fox, assemblies pre'ented by students, or educationa7 programs sponsored by the school. The latter brought us top flight artists from many ' fields this year on the average of once a mzxnth. The program consisted of eight professional assemblies, all of i which were highly educational and entertaining. The first performer was Norman Coates XN'ebster. Mr. NYebster pre- , sented a program entitled So You Photograph by Eugene Klingler Don't l.ike l'oetry.'l l'm sure,. how- ever, all ot us did like poetry just a HAROLD RUSSELL little more after this brilliant lecture. The next assembly was presented by Donald Scott Morrison, who gave intimate glimpses of great masters, such as Chopin and Debussy, through make-up and authentic costumes, stories, and music. The others were George Gilbert Crroman who gave a lecture on dialects--their causes and cures, Burton Lynn jackson. the marimba virtuoso, Piero Pierotic, baritone of the Vienna State Uperag Richard Carradine, the Shakespearean actorg Garnet Hazard, the masterful artist, who fascinated all with his chalk scenes: Dick and Betty Ufelsbacher, a young couple, who presented a program of American folklore in song and story, Another assembly, which did not come under this program but which lim sure all will remember for a long time to come, was the personal appearance of Harold Russell, the handless star of the motion picture, The Best Years of Our Livesf, His coming to our School was made possible by the B'Nai BlRith Society. Mr. Russell's talk dealt with racial and religious discriminations. Mr. Russell's character, his appearance, and his never-sayfdie attitude were definite assets to himself and to the worth while cause which he represented. Besides these professional assemblies there were also from time to time assemblies presented by the pupils. These included the Armistice Day assembly, the Christmas assembly, The Latin Club Assembly, The Traveling Assembly, the Memorial Day assembly, and the Honor assembly tin which scholastic and other awards are made.j Space does not permit our discussing these assemblies at length, but all were very much worth while and enjoyed by the audience.

Zzqklq fnilmfammq In Lynbrook, a small midwestern town, Penny XYood, teenage daughter of Ur, and Mrs. XYOod, is experiencing the first pangs of growing up. She sud- denly changes from a tennis-playing tonilnoy, whose sole companion is Chuck Harris, the lad next door, to an attractive young lady. This miracle is wrought by the appearance of Roger Yan Yleck, wealthy college friend of l'enny's uncle, G. Mervyn Roberts. Wlhen Rogers interest turns to -lulie Harris, Penny is heartlwrokeng but with the help of Very understanding parents Penny realizes that Chuck is really very fine and that growing up completely takes time. Sally Scharrett, as lfenny VVood, the misunderstood teenager, gave the sparkle and the charm that the part required, and at the same time managed to convey some of that wistfulness so endearing to sixteen. Paul Deslauriers, as Chuck Harris, was natural, engaging, and very boyish. The careful character- izations by Earl Anderson and jeanette Couture, as Dr. and Mrs. VVooclg of Eugene Klingler, as G. Mervyn Roberts, of Germaine Paquette, as Julie Harrisg were excellent. Helen Merrick, as little, the VVood's maid, was extremely funny. Such things as a hanging petticoat and Eftiels awkwardness supplied much of the humor in the play. Mike -lastrzebski, as lilmer Tuttle, the Woocl's handy man, was very convincing. XYilliam Simons singing will long be remembered. Saul Steiner's naturally genial self showed through the characterization of the stern parent, Mr. Harris. Patricia Otis, Irene Kowalski, and VValter Mastalerz enacted their parts well, The play itself is a hne choice for high school students. Ably directed by Miss Isabelle L'Heureux, it represented an achievement in teamwork and resulted in a very entertaining evening for all who attended. Barbara Charlton.

Wade fam 70p Ummm UMW Xoveinler l, HHS, hrought to an end a very successful season in XYare High School gridiron history. .X Seven game schedule showed the lndians in green and white victorious live tinies, tied once. and suffering a single defeat. Holyoke Catholic High, aflording the opposition to our hoys in the sea- son's opener, was able to overpnwer the wire team, 0-O, hy scoring a touchdown in the third period. Saturday, Hetolmer 2, Hare played host to Xniherst and defeated the lads from the college town handily, lS-O. Again on October 9, a scrappy but undermanned Arms Academy eleven was easy prey for the VX'are Chiefs, being defeated, 27-13, and two weeks later VVare pinned a I2-U defeat upon the boys of Ludlow High. The last three games of the season were played away from home, the first of these resulted in a scoreless tie with South Hadley. In the second VVare emerged victorious, I9-O, over Orange High. .. The real thriller of the season, the game XYare fans always wait to see, came November ll, when the enthused, excited, and confident VVare team journeyed to Palmer to meet their arch rivals, the Palmer Panthers. Before and during the game the crowd, which completely filled the bleachers and overcrowded the sidelines, was entertained by the stirring music of St. Marys Drum Corps, representing lYare High School, and the Palmer High School Band. Besides the music the constant cheers of both schools, led by the Palmer cheer-leaders in bright blue and white attire and by the VVare cheer-leaders in snappy-looking green and white uniforms, added extra color to this great afternoon of football thrills. The Indians drew first blood late in the second period to lead at the half, 7-Og and they crashed over for seven more points before Palmer was able to break the ice. making the score I4-7, This incidentally was the final score, giving XYare the championship of the Pioneer Valley League. To Coach Cieorge Mclirath, and to his assistant Ilob Curran, to the team's co-captains Tied Pajak and lid Klasse, and to each and every player on the squad, regulars and substitutes alike, the highest of praise is due.

Having ended a very successful season on the gridiron, the victorious XVare High Indians attended a banquet held in their honor at the lVhite Eagles Hall. After a line dinner there was a delightful evening of entertainment, which included addresses by Bob Steel, sports announcer for XVTIC in Hartford: and llnster Sheary, head football coach at lioston College: as well as by prominent Vvare citizens and other members of the sports world. 'llhe highlight of the even- ing was the presentation of the beautiful gold trophy representing the Pioneer Yalley Championship by Coach l.eo Santucci of Palmer to our own George McGrath. Paul Deslauriers and Paul Uecelle, two outstanding players in the Valley VVheel, were both awarded trophies presented by the Marine Corps League, for good sportsmanship. To wind up festivities for the evening, green jackets adorned with the championship emblem were given by the VVare merchants to the players and managers, thus concluding a very enjoyable and memorable occasion.
