Unless we are willing to experiment boldly with the application of absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness, and absolute love in our lives and in our relation¬ ships and responsibilities, America, the land of the free, may lose her freedom because she no longer has the moral and spiritual values to maintain it. — J. Herbert Smith Dedication W, changes the lives of all Americans, but most of all it changes the lives of young Americans. War shatters the dreams of youth and interrupts their study, fun and development; yet young people are willing to forget their personal ambitions and private lives to take part in a greater struggle. Victory will be won by the courage, resourcefulness, and eager spirit of young Americans, fighting to preserve the rights and privileges which they have learned to treasure dearly. Some of our high school friends have already suspended their education to join the armed forces or to help in war production. Realizing their sacrifices and sharing their ideals, we, the class of 1943 humbly dedicate our yearbook to those members of our class who are already participating and to those who will participate in our fight for the American way of life.

Seniors realize the truth of these words. So that they and their undergraduate friends may have a perma¬ nent, tangible record of their years together, this yearbook has been created to show the panorama of student life at Wellesley High in 1943. On the TITLE PAGE appears an appropriate FRONTISPIECE. Our sentiments and ideals as loyal American citizens are expressed in the FORE¬ WORD and DEDICATION. The enumeration of those hard-working souls who composed the YEAR¬ BOOK STAFF is followed by this TABLE OF CONTENTS. Our PRINCIPAL and FACULTY have di¬ rected SENIORS and UNDERCLASSMEN through a year of constant change. In AUTUMN we returned to classes, outwardly reluctant but actually glad to continue our studies; by the time WINTER brought its cold and snow, we were busily involved in many activities; when SPRING’S warm weather finally arrived, we were engaged in completing our year’s work and planning the future. The war has increased the importance of our academic learning, has limited our extra-curricular activities, and has given us a more thoughtful atti¬ tude toward the future; yet the many traditional FEATURES recorded here are symbolic of the good times enjoyed by American boys and girls.

The career of our class began when we, at a tender age, toddled off to kindergarten for the first time. From this start, auspicious or inauspicious as it may have been, our class developed, gaining definite character and ambi¬ tions through its years together. Scattered among the Hardy, Hunnewell, Fiske, Kingsbury, Brown, Warren, Sprague, and Perrin grammar schools, we were hardly aware of what existed beyond our own little spheres, and kept to our own groups for our hopscotch, our marbles and our heart-to-heart confabs about school and life in general. A few privileged characters went to the Enriched Program at the Kingsbury School and delved into the mysteries of French and other complicated, elusive subjects. Grammar school passed quickly and when we reached J unior High we missed our milk and crackers, Wednesday afternoons off, our murals and plays, Christmas and Valentine’s Day parties, and dances around the May Pole. We were beset with opportunities for expressing our individuality in clubs and sports, and we did so; at the same time expressing our complaints to the teachers that the homework took more than half an hour. And so we went on through the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, keeping ourselves busy electing home room officers and re-electing them, contributing to the Phillipian , and deciding the future of the world at the Philips J unior Congress. Every spring brought out the yo-yos, the lady-bug fad, and ye old baseball. As a matter of fact, a baseball game was one of the chief attractions at our Senior class party. This was also the occasion of our first dance! . . . Dramatic Club members took part in Galahad Jones and our own senior production Growing Pains in which the inimitable Bill Temby played the father, little dreaming that three years later he would again star in his senior play, this time as a grandfather. Cyn Stanwood, Laura Bothfeld, Mac Jones, Don Kerivan and several others were already distinguishing themselves in sports. After a long and tumultuous campaign, Bushy Welsh was elected senior class presi¬ dent; Shirley Wilson, Edna Glass, Mimi Young, and Doug Sutcliffe, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and class marshal respectively. Bob Fauvre was editor-in-chief of the Phillipian. Then, exulting over the wonderful, beautiful, new building, we arrived at the estate of being little sophomores. In spite of titanic struggles with locker combinations and the complexities of the lunch shift system we survived and even overcame the sophomotic stigma and presently emerged juniors. That year we broke precedent by electing a girl for our class president {Continued on bage 66) A UtUMH OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Bruce Lattanzi Natalie Garland Jack Gately Howard Smith (flass of 1944 E wlL ¥ I; r � - 4gpnjtfl m Uia . tii .

Miss Bronson deserves much of the credit for reviving the important position of the Student Council, which is composed of the president and vice president of each class, plus all home room chairmen. Its work is manifold and varied; in short, problems per¬ taining to the entire school are submitted to this body for discussion. Confronted by wartime difficulties, the group made many decisions concerning Talent Night, better student care of school property, football dance, class elections, the calendar of extra-curricular activities, the sale of war stamps and bonds, bulletin boards, and many other details affecting the welfare of our school. HERE THEY ARE , unc er the watchful eye of Czar Hanson—the political bosses from wards 101 , 205 , 313, etc. ... on Thursday mornings they could be heard haranguing and filibuster¬ ing , debating the fate of those they represent. . . . f 42 Second How: ll.

Moir Stamp Drive What a predicament—too young for service and too old to be deferred from doing our part. The result of our search for a way to help was the War Stamp and Bond Drive, directed by Bill Temby and his efficient com¬ mittee. Our weekly stamp days, made possi¬ ble through the co-operation of Mr. Sumner, president of the P. T. A., have averaged around $400. About ninety per cent of the seniors have purchased stamps each week, and home¬ rooms 111, 105, and 205 have consistently par¬ ticipated one hundred per cent. The sopho¬ mores and juniors have lagged way behind in percentage and number of stamps bought. With the $1264.50 we spent on our special day in March, and the yearly total of over $12,000 worth of stamps sold, we feel we have done something resembling our duty. INFIDELS! OUTCASTS! TRAITORS! . . . such were the epithets hurled at those u ho failed to buy their quota of War Stamps each Tuesday. Meanwhile , the stamp messengers staggered , homeroom chairmen bellowed , and the counting clerks tore their hair—all for Uncle Sam. . . . •f 43 [ ; au | - p- - i • T IKfl r i fr? tr. ■ 1 . -A ■fi Third lintt: K.

Critics predicted that the lack of experienced players would handicap the squad, yet when the scores were tallied the team had suffered only three defeats. Wellesley played two games with Na¬ tick, foretelling that in the future more games will be played with neighboring towns to insure full athletic schedules. Another new event this season was a game between the underclassmen and the seniors. The squad, lead by captain Wink” Murray, while not a team studded with stars, included many spirited, hard working players. The team relied mainly on the balance, strength in passing, timing, precision, and team work made possible by the combined efforts of every man. THI: CHARM of the faculty ticket-takers, the harmonious strains of the P.

The season opened with a close loss to our rival, Needham, but the team retaliated by a substantial victory over Ashland the follow¬ ing week. During the second match with Needham, the girls managed to hold the score to a tie. An added attraction to the sports programs of both schools was the two games between Dana Hall and Wellesley High in which the local girls were the sorrowful losers in both contests. Stars included such veterans as Laura Bothfeld, Mary Allison, Peggy Donahue, Cyn Stanwood, Holley Atkinson and Mary Ann Hollister, and sophomores Dotty Kendrick and Thelma Simms. KNIT ONI:, PURL TWO.

Zani { 47 Band One of the most effective mediums for stirring up school spirit is a band whose music starts feet tapping and hands clapping. Welles¬ ley High has such a band. Preceded by the high stepping twirling corps, the band, smart¬ ly decked out in white pants, gay capes, and snappy hats, has highlighted many football games with its syncopated rhythms and im¬ pressive marching. Lead by Mr. Leach, this group of fifty Junior and Senior High pupils has exhibited its talent to the whole town in the Armistice and Memorial Day parades. Together with the Needham band, our music makers have responded to the added responsibilities of war times by playing at the farewell celebrations given to the local men leaving for the Army. AND TU11 BAND PLAYED ON,”—from dawn to dusk. Groping for their instru¬ ments in the early morning darkness , they sent the soldiers off with a hang. In the late afternoon , their rousing rhythms and frenzied fanfares thrilled the football crowds. . . . { 48 Fourth lintr: V. Doyle, L. Olnuart, A. Austill, T. Beal. H. Chapin. R. Krazee, D.

Allen Another reason why the Senior Play had such a professional atmosphere was the musical interludes which entertained the au¬ dience during intermissions and introduced each curtain raising. The orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Leach, was responsible for these melodious memories. Of course, all students are aware of the fact that the weekly assembly periods are made more enjoyable by the music which ushers them to their seats and later escorts them back to class. Juniors will recall the orchestra’s contribution to the 1943 gradua¬ tion. Since many are apt to forget the arduous practicing necessary before a piece can be played in public, let this be a tribute to those musicians and their conductor who supply the school with so much well played music.

Bianchi Typing Service Club In every large organization, there is a man behind the man behind the gun.” In our school the Typing Service club constitutes a group of twenty unsung heroes or should it be heroines? Twice a week these senior girls devote their X periods to cutting stencils, operating the mimeograph, and typing all sorts of material for the various activities and teachers in school. They also help tabulate polls, file cards, sort papers, and assist in general clerical work. This is the second year that Miss Bronson has directed such a club. Besides rendering a vital service to the faculty and school organizations, the girls have gained invaluable experience in office pro¬ cedure. STENOGRAPHERS IN ACTION! Spend demons on the typewriters—efficiency plus in the filing department—first class mathematicians on the adding machines! These gals even come clean in their stencil cutting. . . . i 50 } Third Rote: W. Katon. .1. Lee, C. Burlier. A. Eustis Second How: C. Dobis, F. Snwle . C. Webber J. Powell. M. Bliss, A. Reynolds II.

Higgins Junior Red Cross Besides purchasing War Stamps and Bonds, our High School has aided the common cause of the Allies in a more personal way. Under the continual guidance of the Senior Red Cross, and the faithful, energetic super¬ vision of Priscilla Chase, a Junior Red Cross was organized to help the local chapter in its vital work. This service required real sacrifice and honest-to-goodness WORK. It meant that a higher percentage of students gave up cokes to donate their money to the annual Red Cross Drive. It meant that over one hundred and twenty-five girls volunteered to told surgical bandages, and sew kit bags, bed¬ side bags, and table covers. It meant that some thirty loyal girls worked several hours each w eek to earn the coveted J unior Red Cross emblem. Yes, the time, money, and energy contributed to the American Red Cross is a most worthwhile sacrifice. BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ. Those chattering girls are engaged in the intricacies of folding 4 hy 4 bandages , yet they seem to be having as gay a time as the coke-guzzlers or the soda-sippers. . . . i 51 Highlights A highlight of the football season was a fast, well-played game between the seniors and the junior-sophomores, accompanied by a great deal of hilarious cheering. The seniors finally came out on top. An awesome sight this fall was the boys’ gym classes toiling over the new com¬ mando course; i.e., constructing its perilous hazards and subsequently ploughing over them. There was little to jest at in the boys’ performance; but when the girls took over many were the screams that arose as dainty foot missed the far bank of the brook, and many were the hoots from the masculine population. Where’er the band goes you’ll find the Twirling Corps. Led by Audrey Diehl, the twirlers, in their smart maroon uniforms, put on a sparkling exhibition at all our football games. Also at the games and rallies were our lively and resourceful cheer leaders. Under their leader, Jack Trethaway, they added punch and pep to our games. A major attraction this fall was our an¬ nual football dance, with the decorations en¬ hanced by character sketches of the team. A good local orchestra plus th e lively crowd made it an enjoyable affair. Something new has been added—to Mr. Chapman’s personality. A moustache now decorates his upper lip. Apple picking was an important occu¬ pation during the fall. Our brawny football team played nurserymaid one day to the Ash¬ land orchards. Another group made up of thirty-five sophomores, juniors, and seniors under the sponsorship of the Y.F.R.U. spent the Columbus Day week-end picking apples in the Marlboro orchards. 52 } p. u E«e RtALiyN ( G ol ( ' ro rou ' r ) ' on OUR JfAWP J DAY ' S NOUJ THE OOG-S UJCne Dofis G Jusr a won A} OUR rXUFE-QjSCS • s ssr S ' yrj ifj i (V i n vioWy J $$ v.--- Heard Around Dave Curnow: It’s an insult to the sovereignty of Great Britain!” ”Pinky” Parkhill: ”Oh, Stop!” Mr. Upham: I’m both frank and earnest .

The fame of our talented theatrical group has spread throughout the town and those un¬ fortunate beings who have never seen a Dramatic Club performance have missed some grade A amusement. After the tremendously successful performance of You Can t Take It With You , members presented a Lincoln Day assembly which they had written and produced themselves. In the midst of measles and a cold epidemic, the club carried on with typical Broadway fortitude. The spice and humor of Aaron Slick From Pun kin Crick made Talent Night an evening of riotous entertainment. Members agree that the enthusiasm and wide experience of their popular coach, Mr. Campbell, has been the primary reason for the club ' s increased activity and membership. So on with the show!

How could Christ¬ mas celebrations be complete without the traditional musical programs of Mrs. Burns and her choir? This year’s season was high¬ lighted by a brilliant performance for the Wellesley Hills Woman’s Club. What would graduation be like if the choir furnished no musical setting? What would seventy-five high school boys and girls do if this popular activity were suddenly subtracted from their schedules? Well, don’t worry about it. There is no danger whatsoever that an organization such as our choir, which maintains such a splendid record and boasts of so many memor¬ able performances, will ever be suspended.

Now, on each floor these up-to-the-minute bulletin boards act as a magnet for a crowd. War news is kept up to date with maps, pictures, and cartoons, while an alumni section keeps students posted on the activities of their older friends. All sorts of announcements from scholarships to ath¬ letic events appear continually, and pictorial articles receive much attention. A feature attraction is the Guess Who a weekly description of a prominent school personality. With this variety of subject matter, everyone finds there some item of interest.

Mr. Cameron Beck and Dr. Hamm of Mount Holyoke College should have reassured those worried about their future. Movies of American skiing, football, and baseball appealed to sport lovers. Few will forget hearing the voice s of their classmates reproduced on the mirro- phone machine demonstrated by the Bell Telephone Company. Coach Steeves, Mrs. Sharp, Mr. Taplin, and Flying Officer Nahass presented various as¬ pects of the war. The Lincoln Day, Armistice Day, Jefferson Celebration, and quiz programs were outstanding, thanks to the student participation. The committee sponsored a performance of The Forest Rangers at the Community Playhouse to replenish the fund which will finance future as¬ semblies. i 60 } Second Ron ' : Mr. llna ue, .1.

Mr. Snow immediately took over the squad and the Wellesley quintet managed to show its followers some fine basketball. The second string featuring Joe Gauld, Bob Towle, and Bill Chappell was somewhat more fortunate regarding final scores, in that it finished the season with two losses and eleven wins. Wellesley’s impressive showing against a powerful Framingham team gave assurance of Boys’ Basketball a strong and experienced team in the next two years. Joe Rooney, Captain Dave McNeish, and Andy Freeland shared top scoring honors, followed closely by Mort O’Sullivan and Bernard Caiola. A DRIBBLE! A SHOT!

Opponents included Framingham, Needham, Ashland, and Dana Hall. The most notable events were the two spectacular senior matches with Needham which Wellesley won both times by a close margin of one point. A first team, consisting of the squad’s best players, lost to Dana Hall and Ashland, while the second team won by a substantial five points each game. The senior team’s stars were Laura Bothfeld, captain; Cyn Stanwood, Midge Bab¬ cock, Mary Allison, and Susan Gates. The juniors produced such athletes as Holley Atkinson, captain, Mary Ann Hollister, and Mary Ann Di Firro. Sophomores who dis¬ tinguished themselves were Captain Dotty Kendrick and Jean Allison. THEY HAVE A STYLE all their own. Although the hoys way not recognize it , those long passes , well-placed shots , and tricky plays constitute a popular game called girls basketball. • • • i 63 } Highlights The question of girls wearing slacks to school is a perennial one and this winter, be¬ cause of fuel rationing and the extremely cold weather, the girls were permitted to wear them. Immediately a rash of slacks broke out and it was necessary to look twice before you could tell whether to yoohoo ”Susie” or ’’Jimmy.” We all miss Coach Steeves, but we know he’s doing a fine job at Chapel Hill as a lieutenant (jg) with the Navy. We welcomed him back at the Lincoln Day assembly and were inspired by his stirring message urging us to prepare for a wartime service. One of the high points of the year’s stamp drive was a campaign which culminated in the sale on one day of $1264.50 in War Bonds and Stamps. As a first step in establishing a Victory Corps, a war program was instituted at the beginning of the second semester. Every junior and senior was obliged to select a war course which would train him for some type of wartime service. Each period was shortened slightly and fifteen minutes were added to the end of the day to make room for this extra class. The sophomores were excused from this Y” period class. Besides increasing our mental activities, our physical requirements were also expanded. The boys had two more periods of gym per week, and the girls, one. Rationing interrupted the school pro¬ gram twice this year. While fuel oil computa¬ tions occupied the teachers, school closed at noon; and at the time of the distribution of War Ration Book II, we were released from school for a whole week. Both times student volunteers aided the teachers in their labors. At the end of the first semester several senior boys left school to start college, taking engineering, pre-medical, or meteorology courses. Others enlisted in the armed forces. The class grew smaller and smaller as the year went on. Nancy Hall was chosen the Wellesley representative to the D. A. R. this year, elected on the basis of citizenship, scholarship, and leadership. i 64 } -- -«= CAUSTMEW tCS To D Ay 7 M ■.

Then came the Junior From in which the decoration committee headed by Hugh Chapin made a name for itself with its clever nursery rhyme decorations. At last in September, 1942, we were SENIORS, and we knew this was where we belonged. The class had changed a great deal since Junior High School. Sixty or seventy of our classmates who had been with us in the ninth grade had now gone—to trade school, to work, to private school, to other localities. Some new members joined, and what we lacked in numbers we made up in spirit. The year started off gaily. The football team captained by Wink” Murray beat Needham 13 to 7. The class play You Can’t Take It With You,” was given in December to a full house made possible by Phil Sumner’s all time record of selling 101 tickets. And yet we were never unconscious of the war. Ra¬ tioning interrupted our school schedule. Some of the boys went into the service or off to college. Some of us worked harder and some less. At the end of the first term we added a war course and more gym to the curriculum. Eighty or ninety per cent of us bought war stamps every week in the drive led by our class president. On the whole we had acquitted ourselves very well and we were proud. GLORIA SPENCER i 66 Spring Third Row: J. Tretlm way, 1. Mailloux, B. Moon , 1). McNeisli Second Row: M. Barnard, O. Spencer, R.

Balboni Baseball In spring a young man’s fancy turns to —well, in Wellesley the fancy of some fellows turns to baseball. Captained by Wink Murray and coached by Mr. Goodnough, the team has every prospect of being an outstand¬ ing success. The Wellesley nine opened its season with an impressive 12—8 win over Brookline. Don Murray allowed only seven scattered blows, and chalked up twelve strikeouts. The home team used their war clubs to good ad¬ vantage by pounding out thirteen hits off two Brookline hurlers. John Fini receives Wink’s slants be¬ hind the plate. Around the infield are Eddie Balboni, Bill McCabe, Joe Rooney, (capably carrying on where Mills Nelson left off when he joined the Navy) and shortstop McNeish.

Galloway Track As soon as the snow begins to melt, Coach Chapman and his track team hover around the weather forecast, eagerly awaiting the warmth of spring which will dry out their cinder path. This spring co-captains Dana Hanson and Bill Temby, along with Hugh Chapin and Jack Trethaway, were the only veterans to report. Last year’s track squad enjoyed an especially fine season. It suffered only one loss—and that was a very close one—to Concord, the State champions. The supreme success was the victory at the Needham invitation meet. This was the first time that Wellesley had ever won the meet, and it won by a score that was almost double that of its nearest competitor. The 1943 schedule, curbed by wartime transportation difficulties, has been limited to four dual meets and the State meet at Newton. READY, GET SET , GO! Out of the west come the thundering hoof heats of the fleet racers. Galloping toward the finish line they hear down upon the shouting spectators with the sprinting winner out in front. i 73 } Highlights The Body Beautiful was the aim of the sixty girls who capered across the gym floor in Y and F periods. Their art was modern dancing. Pirouettes accompanied by groans and un-gazellelike leaps were the results of the early attempts at being graceful. After the girls became proficient, the groans were omitted and the leaps became more practised, making the art pleasurable from all aspects. April 2 and 10 were important dates on the senior calendar; in fact, the exams taken those days may well play a large part in de¬ ciding their future. On the second, most of the boys were confronted with the Army-Navy officer candidate exams. Those who passed will be given Navy or Army interviews. The next week girls who were preparing for college and those few boys who weren’t looking for¬ ward to being drafted, for a while anyway, took the traditional College Boards. If they obtain an acceptable score, they are free to attend the college of their choice. The girls’ badminton group bridged the gap between basketball and modern dancing. Without getting much publicity they enjoyed their afternoons of chasing the birdie around. Although the Senior Council is not widely known throughout the school, its work has been of the utmost importance. Composed of the senior class officers and senior homeroom chairmen, it devotes its time to problems pertaining to the senior class alone. Among the difficult decisions they have had to make were the selection of the yearbook staff, scheduling of senior class pictures, and the problems concerning a class banquet and a senior prom. Obviously their task has not been easy. A group of eager seniors, known as the Creative Writing Club, met quite informally with Mr. White on Mondays. With the help of Mr. White’s hilarious examples and anec¬ dotes they learned, both in general and in detail, how to write stories that will sell. During the intermissions of Talent Night many students noticed the dazzling display in the lobby showcase. This was the first time that our trophies had been taken out of their dusty covers and placed on exhibition. Mort O’Sullivan, Jack Trethaway, and their helpers removed the tarnish of years with a liberal application of elbow grease. As we go to press (April 20th) we are still hoping for weather warm enough so that our boys’ and girls’ tennis teams can dig their racquets and balls out of cold storage.
