At a time when many sacrifices must be and are being made , we, the youth of America, naturally feel a strong desire to do our part. The wise leaders we have chosen to guide us through the struggle have been forced, because of this war, to take young men from schools and colleges and put them in positions which are, at present, more important. The training of these boys must rest in responsible hands and so the demand for competent educators is such that some of our instructors have been called away to teaching posts where they are sorely needed In view of their status and prominence in our eyes, we deem it proper to dedicate the fruition of our work in this, the yearbook of the Class of 1944, to our principal, Mr. Gaige; to our superintendent of schools, Mr. Pierce; and to all the fine boys who, together with our instructors, are now in the armed forces of the United States of America. Wellesley Free Library Wellesley, Mass. Principals and Superintendents Arthur E. Pierce William C. Gaige Ja apotcccation War , with its horror and tragedy , brings about innumerable changes and complications for us on the home front. We of Wellesley were put to one of its many tests early in March. In little more than a week ' s time ive learned that both our superintendent and principal were leaving under government orders — Mr. Pierce as an educator in the Army Air Forces , Mr. Gaige as a lieutenant (Jg) in the United States Navy. We of the school wish to express our appreciation to these men for their help and guidance in the past , and we extend our best wishes for their future welfare. To their very capable successors , Mr. Scully and Mr. Bragdon , may we give our thanks for the efficient manner in which they took over , and to them also may we say, Good luck! Vedagogically Speaking It seems fitting and proper that we should stop a moment or two in our mad rush, as this, our Senior year, draws to a close, to think of those men and women who have pulled us through these three momentous years of our life. Although we like to think of ourselves as the backbone of the school, we must admit truthfully that there would be no school without our faculty. The war has hit not only our student manpower but also the power of the teachers. No longer can they pin down some handsome Wellesley High man for being seen on Cause¬ way Street during school hours, for he will, without a doubt, answer proudly, ’Tm in the V-3 now.” Many boys have left and so have a number of our illustrious teachers, we’re sorry to say. Our handsome superintendent, Mr. Pierce, is now working for the Air Corps and ’’The Boss” is now on the payroll ofUncle Sam as a Lieutenant (jg). In their stead we welcome Mr. Scully, our new superintendent, and wish him happiness in Wellesley. Our chemist, Mr. Bragdon, is now in Mr. Gaige’s swivel chair with Miss Bronson at his right hand. Good luck, you two! Mr. Pulver, our Frenchie, is also gone, and is now instructing Exeter boys. The keeper of the books, Miss Bishop, is now residing in Reading. Greet¬ ings, Miss Loomer, we’ll try to behave for you also. There are also new and tantalizing smells in ye ole cooking room for there’s a new teacher with new ideas, Miss Fifield. Miss Worthington has departed from our midst for the Red Cross Nutrition Corps. Before we close we would like to extend the warm and heartfelt thanks of all the seniors to Mr. Mathers, our Senior Advisor. We also deeply thank Miss Parker, Miss Guild, Miss Celeste, Mr. Jewell, and Mr. Mathers for all their work on our yearbook. We’re graduating now and we’re truly sorry to go, although we’ve often wished that we were out and gone. But thanks to you for all your interest in us. We’ll be back some day. We hope you’ll still be here. v : WALTER S. ADAMS Industrial Science, Mathematics Sophomore Class Advisor JOHN H. BUCK Mathematics LOUISE BALBONI Assistant Secretary MRS. AMY Y.

Dickson Francis Terrio John M. O’Sullivan, Jr. Hoys Service A wave of heartfelt devotion has swept our country during this second World War. This devotion for one’s country did not pass by Wellesley High. One hundred and eighty-four boys have gone and fourteen are members of this Senior Class. It was natural that they should step forward when God quickened the souls of men to serve the need of the world, and so they held them¬ selves fortunate. We, the Seniors, dedicate this page to those fourteen boys, wishing they were here with us, and not far away. They won ' t be here to graduate, but we shall be thinking of them and hoping that they will always have happy and pleasant memories of their years here at Wellesley High. 137} . . . (find Mow We Qrew On a sunny September morning in the year of 1931, groups of small children were gathering in kindergartens all over Wellesley. It was the First Day of School, and these kids were quite excited about it all. They were starting a new phase of their lives, and their feelings toward it were a mixture of anticipa¬ tion, uneasiness, and regret. Of course they were looking forward to a new sort of existence, but just the same they were a bit unsure of what was to come, and in sone cases they vaguely missed the comforting security of their homes. We were those children. Now, twelve years later, we are approaching our last diy of school. We’ve changed a lot since that distant day, but strangely enough one thing remains. That feeling—it’s practically the same. Perhaps the trepidation has to some degree been replaced by confidence, but the anticipation and regret are still there. For we have finished another period of our lives, and although we look forward to what the future may bnng, we regret the passing of the irre¬ trievable. Therefore, we pause in our long ascent to success, and, so to speak, look back at ou trail. Although we weren’t aware of it, a Class was born on that September morning. It spent its early life in a state of dismember¬ ment, divided among the grade schools: Brown, Hardy, Sprague, North, Hunnewell, Kings¬ bury, Perrin, and Fiske; in each it received a good foundation for what was to come. How¬ ever, it drew its first breath as a whole in the Junior High, where it really got started. The seventh grade was fun. At first we got lost, forgot where to go next, and had a terrible time muniging a lunch tray and a slippery bot¬ tle of milk. But soon that was all straightened out, and we forgot about free Wednesd ly afternoons, milk and crackers at 19 A.M., extn recess, anJ other elementary school privileges. We joined clubs, went out for after-school sports, and before long we were eighth-graders, at which grown-up status even the Seniors recognized us. After awhile, we found ourselves in the ninth grade which we thought was right where we’d always belonged. Our courses, taken by choice, were either college or business preparatory, and the rest of the school looked up to us. Why not? We were a good class. We soon got to work (Continued on £ 73) : ' M Our 9avorite Branch of Service —Navy, Army Air Corps, Navy Air Corps, Army, Marines, Marine Air Corps, WACs.

Neilson Student Council OFFICERS Honorary President Mort O’Sullivan President Robert Grout Vi ce President Alan Kerivan Recording Secretary Joan Kalloch Corresponding Secretary Jean Kidston Every Monday morning in Room 105, the Student Council, one of the oldest student organizat ons in school, holds a very important meeting. Its members are picked from the student body not merely because they have high scholastic standing but because they are representative and reliable. Mort O’Sullivan was its capable president until he left under orders from the United States Navy; then Doc” Grout stepped into Mort’s shoes and walked off with flying colors. Along with its usual activities—super¬ vising school conduct and making improve¬ ments as the need arose, the Council did a fine job in revising its constitution and the sport rules, and participating in changing the marking system. It sponsored the Football Dance and the unforgettable Victory Dance which was put on as a sophomore activity— the first we’ve had in some time. Thanks to the Council the riotous Out of the Prying Pan was selected, backed and pronounced a fi nan¬ cial success, adding much to the class treas¬ uries. Besides these noteworthy accomplish¬ ments the Council supervised four important related organizations—the Stamp Drive, the Assembly Committee, the Bulletin Board Com¬ mittee and its offspring, the posted Bradford[ The school will always be grateful to our Council for the service flag it purchased and for the Honor Roll it enabled us to have.

Selieufele Yearbook The staff members of the Wellesley an wish to thank contributors for the whole¬ hearted co-operation they have received in gath¬ ering material for this annual publication. The art editors have received contri¬ butions for cartoon pages from Bill Gorton, Paul Blaisdell, and Dick Maccabe. To Mary Jane Lee they are indebted for the cover design and the brush painting, and to Mary Lou May for the title page designs. The photography department wishes to thank Mr. Campbell for his advice and ’’special” pictures and Milton Grubbs and John Williamson for their untiring efforts in taking and selecting pictures. Miss Parker, Mr. Jewell, Mr. Mathers, Miss Guild and Miss Celeste have given in¬ valuable assistance concerning editorial, finan¬ cial, photographic, technical, and art problems of this annual. Excellent co-operation was also received from the printers, engravers, photo¬ graphers, and advertisers. ■(57 } On the Serious Side This is absolutely a fact: The Student Council has had at least one meeting a week since the second week of school. . . . Where would this organization be without Dick Stanwood’s bubbling humor? .. JoanKalloch’s no additions or corrections” secretary’s reports? . . . Doc” Grout to step in when Mort flew off with the Naval Air Corps? . . . Orchids (to coin a phrase?) to a certain Miss B. for her invaluable guidance, but it is rumored she would fain have a pink Camellia any day . . . and congratulations to the rest of this fine group of school leaders. Very seldom do we hear the announce¬ ment ’’There will be no assembly today,” thanks to Bob Becker, Mr. Upham, and the rest of their committee. It’s hard to pick a program for everyone, but they surely have the knack, ' Tm going to buy a paper doll—” What? The ’’scissors society” has made many a lad and lass late to class by making its bulletin boards read like a ’’book of thrills.” Keep it up, kids, it’s swell. We were glad to have the Bradford back again this year even if it was only a ”pin-up”— we have great hopes for it next year ... a copy for each and every W. H. S. student. ’’Did you know that on the back of our war stamps the government has put, not only mucilage, but also vitamins?” Just quoting the ’’stamp man,” Bob Dee. He says ’’get your ’Vimms’ and a share in victory simultaneously.” All kidding aside—a share in Victory is pretty important. Hear that racket in ”103?”—No need for alarm—several girls from the Typing Service Club hard at work . . . ”103” is a busy place ... At the back of the room, midst long lists of names, great pieces of cardboard and bottles of ink, worked the Honor Roll Committee . . . That was a job and we’re not joking—one that Wellesley High will always be proud of and grateful for. { 58 } 59 Third Roic: B. Odell, I). Griffith, L. Pearl, X. Fortini, F. Kice, .1, Gauld, Y.

Lattanzi Varsity Football The football team, after heavy fall prac¬ tice, opened the 1943 season with a bang, de¬ feating Lexington by an impressive score of 25 to 0. The following week the boys held Marlboro all the way, yielding the game by but three points. Although the team gathered strength with each game, ‘ ' Coach” Snow continued drilling the boys in timing, running plays, and scrimmaging. As he said, Football is a game necessitating timing, teamwork, and hard bodies. This is why I must keep the fellows out on the field night after night. Later when the team ' clicks, ' the players realize the im¬ portance of doing the same things over and over again.” The week of the final football game, Co-capt. Harvey Johnson, guard, Len” Bucci and center Francis Donahue, enlisted in the Navy. These boys were each given a gift and a rousing cheer from their teammates at a meeting held in the locker room.

Siebert Field Hockey Led by Captain Dotty Kendrick, the girls’ field hockey team completed the season with a final reckoning of three games won, four lost. Because of the gas shortage the team played Needham, Dana Hall and Ashland twice. The two games with our arch rival, Needham, came to a 3-1 shellacking in the first game and 2-0 victory for Wellesley High in the second. The girls bowed to Ashland in the first game 0-2, but made a comeback in the second, winning 2-1. The games with Dana Hall and the one game with Newton were disappointing with scores of 2-5 in the first game, 0-4 in the second, and 1-3 in the third. 464 Third Rote: R Dow, Mr. (Joodnougli, J.

Vicolo Hockey Wellesley High’s hockey team experi¬ enced rather an unfortunate season this year as can be seen by its final record of one win, one tie, and seven losses. The team faced each loss with a very admirable sportsmanlike atti¬ tude and no one can say that it did not provide plenty of stiff opposition to all opponents. Goalie honors for the season were shared by Frank Gallerani and Bruce Lattanzi. On defense, Ed Sullivan, and Lenni Bucci (who has since gone into the Navy), both played a whale of a game. Spif” Kerivan was probably one of the most valuable players on the team f or he sparked the majority of the scoring rushes made by the team. In the lines we had Phil Curry, Bill Roberts, Jim Gregg, George Videon, Chet Corbett, and Ash Nicolo. 165 } Third Rote: Iiss Moulton, J. Mollison. M. Chappell, J. Pipes, C. McCartney Second Row: J.

The Seniors, led by Mary Ann Hollister, came out with the best record: a total of three wins and four losses. The Junior sextet, with Ann Longsworth as captain, ended the season with one game won and four lost. A promising Sophomore aggregation wound up with two victories, two ties and two set-backs. The first and second varsities were made up of the stars of the three teams, and each ended the season with one win and fun for all. 166 } Fourth Row: S. Pratt, Mr. Snow, .1. Russell, R.

Any avid follower of our basket¬ ball quintets will tell you the lads are using the terms of the fastest game on foot. Along with a strong varsity squad. Coach Snow has quietly maintained, as separate units, teams from each class. A team is as good as its second and third strings and Wellesley has preserved a well-balanced outfit. Considering the rating and size of many opponents, the record of the team was com¬ mendable. Traveling, many times under difficulty, the boys played a total of seventeen games—nearly a record.

Huntington Track The first robin of spring was rather sur¬ prised to find that he had been beaten to the punch by the tracksters from Wellesley High School. Braving icy March winds the boys practiced long and diligently for the approach¬ ing season. The team’s main strength lies in the veterans of last year’s victorious track team. Last year’s squad enjoyed an especially fine season, suffering only one loss, and a very close one at that. This year with the majority of that dependable group back again, Mr. Chap¬ man should be able to form a very strong team. Although the 1944 schedule has been curtailed by wartime transportation difficulties, the coach is confident that he can mold this year’s squad into a group of winners. { 68 } Second Hoir: J. Rooney.

Gallerani Baseball With the first real spring weather came the crack of bats announcing the opening of Wellesley High’s 1944 baseball season. Coached by Mr. Goodnough and captained by John Pini, the team is expected to make a very fine showing. The team’s strength this year will be in the hands of sophomore Bob Fraser as pitcher and the five seasoned veterans from last year’s team: John Pini, Phil Curry, Frank Gallerani, Joe Rooney, and Spif” Kerivan. With this group of stalwart players as a nu¬ cleus, it is expected that an extremely capable ball club will be formed. Past experience has shown us that Mr. Goodnough really knows his baseball, for his coaching has always been of the highest caliber. Highlighting the Season A bad case of goose flesh, that’s what we’ll call it. ' ‘his is what our football boys suffered on the invigorating morning of the Needham game. The reason for this crawl¬ ing of flesh, as described afterwards, was the chance meeting with last year’s captain, Wink Murray, who shook the hand of many of the boys before they went on the field. Small wonder they felt a thrill, Wink having been our favorite athlete and everyone’s friend. very often manage as pretty a basket as you’ve ever seen. To establish graceful movement and promote that all-desired charm. This might be the reason those delightful melodies seeped under the huge folding doors in the gym from the girls’ side to masculine territory. But what an effect it had on some of the men who are easily sent! Suzy Q—Truck on Down. Rich voices and enough red to cause a riot, contor¬ tionist-like capers on the crest of a frosty September morning. This is the way in which our gay cheerleaders carried along another football season. But good! While the intricacies of girls’ field hockey presented puzzling difficulties to many of the rough tough football players, those neatly cut slices of orange, the girls’ game relief, were welcomed by the boys as a good idea. It certainly is a marvel to see fellows like Joe Chappell and Andy Freeland stumping the opposition, but the girls’ teams Mr. Snow has certainly brought gym¬ nastics down to the water line. Practicing your favorite dive before the swimming season opens has its advantages and that genuine Bachrach board for spring-jumps, has borne many a chunky lad through the air—to a fall? Coaches Goodnough and Chapman had high hopes for a head start on the weather. The baseball team was practically on the field, and preparations were almost under way to fix the cinder track, but where was spring? Hidden under a six inch snowfall! The strain of a winter’s internment is beginning to show through the good nature of both boys and girls. A stuffy gym is no place to hang around when all signs point to spring, except the weather! {70 } A WOMANS PLACE w l S IN TltE -- MB SNOWS KJEW GAME-MUR.DER ftLN ALT y 1 lex NEVER DtCK WCCA3E ( Continued, from page 38) ... Md Mow We @rew and produced a Senior Play, June Mad , (star¬ ring John and Glenna, of course) and it was a great success. Then, after elaborate cam¬ paigning, we elected class officers—Artie Moher, Mary Lou May, Jimmy Gregg and Nat Garland. Then there was Field Day” marked by Jimmie Gregg’s prodigious leap of five feet, two inches over the high jump bar; this was followed by our first class dance (remember Miss Prendergast striding around, getting everyone to dance?). Then suddenly we were no longer the cocks of the walk but had descended to the position of mere sophomores. Although ignored by the upperclassmen, we were “high school students,” and persons of influence in lesser gatherings. Of course at first there was a bit of difficulty, such as when to go to the second lunch shift, which locker combination to use in the corrido r and which in the locker room, and how to drink from the bubblers without drowning, but what of that?—Such was life. Suddenly we were called upon to face reality. One Monday morning, the eighth of December, the whole school solemnly gath¬ ered in the auditorium to hear President Roose¬ velt recommend to Congress the declaration of war. War! It was rather a shock to us, and although awed by the idea, it was at first too big a thing for us to actually comprehend. Soon air-raid drills, and the War Stamp Drive made it increasingly clear that we all had a part to play. The following year brought about further changes: Candy became scarce in the lunch room; the tempo of the stamp drive increased until a record purchase of $1089.50 was made one Tuesday; and war courses were added, lengthening the school day. One of the big events of the year was our Junior Prom with its unusual popular- song decorations. Bruce was in charge of the committees and most of us had some part in making the dance a success. After the Prom, spring was on its way, and before we knew it the school year was over. We were Seniors! When we came back in the fall, our spirit was stronger than ever, though we found ourselves diminished in number since already some of our boys had answered the call of the colors. Soon we had elected our officers Bruce Lattanzi, John Peters, Kaye Heaney, and Jimmy Gregg—and plans were underway for the Senior Play. We put on George and Margaret with Glenna Seely, John Peters, Jean Mueller, Dick Stanwood, Nat Neilson, Jack Lawrence, Joan Blair and Billy Gorton. Nancy Chapin was assistant director, and Holley Atkinson in charge of props. It was a grand show, and fun for all. Other red- letter events of the year were the Football Dance, the Victory Dance, the Dramatic Club’s play, Out of the Frying Pan, the annual Junior Prom, and the operetta, Pirates of Penzance. The latter was something new this year and all sorts of compliments are deserved by Mrs. Burns and the other faculty sponsors, the cast and the orchestra. Spring came again, in spite of ten inches of snow on the first day of the new season and our school days were drawing to a close. Now on the threshold of a new phase of our lives, we find that our class as a group is to be divided, but in spirit we know that it will live on as long as does each of us. Sq on Fourth Itoic: P.

I ' razee Band Wellesley High’s spirit was indeed inspired by the stirring music of its band, and the impressive showings of the twirling corps at our rousing football games. The band, as a combined group of both Junior and Senior High School students, under the able direction of Mr. Leach, has been very active in school and outside events. To mention only a few of its many performances, it has participated in the opening of the Victory Garden Fair, the dedication of the Wellesley Honor Roll and the annual Armistice and Memorial Day parades. The band members have contributed their time to the war effort by alternating monthly with the Needham High School Band to give the boys a proper send-off as they left civilian life for their new war duties—a worthy effort, we all agree.

The musicians may not all be HarryJ ameses or Jose Iturbis, but their melodies succeed in pleasing both swing fans and classical addicts. As an example of their versatility, they lent the Senior Play an air of professionalism by play¬ ing popular hits as a dance orchestra; and, in contrast, at one of the spring assemblies they played Tschaikowsky’s Concerto No. 1. Seniors will always remember the orch¬ estra’s contribution to graduation by its euphonic selections which added to the success of the commencement exercises. Many thanks to Mr. Leach and his talented musicians. ■{ 77 } Fourth How: Y. Horton, R. Jackson, J. Lawrence, B. Brown, J. Peters, R. Drisko, R. Stanwood Third How: I). Knight, C. McCartney, K.

The stage setting of the highly success¬ ful Senior Play, George and Margaret , was hardly down when eager thespians from all classes demanded another production. Al¬ most immediately the Student Council re¬ sponded and preparations were soon under way f or Out of the Frying Pan. The cast was selected and rehearsals were begun. Lines were learned, properties assembled, programs made, the setting put up, and suddenly the big night came. At 8:15 on the tenth of March the lights were lowered and as the curtain was raised, another fine Dramatic Club presentation was ready to start. The future of the club lies in the hands of its splendid coach, Mr. Campbell, and those persons who always maintain that the play’s the thing.” Second tioic: W. Gorton, .1. Peters, J. Lawrence, H.

No one who saw them will ever forget John Peters, as the preoccupied father, peeping around his news¬ paper, Claude and Dudley (Jack Lawrence and Bill Gorton) and their arguments. Remember Dudley’s friend Roger (played by the only undergraduate in the cast—Dick Stanwood)— and his love affair with Frankie (Jeani Mueller); Nat Neilson as the maid telling off her employer Alice Garthbander (Glenna Seely)? Alice’s big scene, hysterics ’n’ all came at the end of the second act—she wasn’t going to be the laughing stock of the neighborhood, not by any means! What a panic Jo Blair caused in her entrance as Beer! —and whatever happen ed to George and Margaret? ■{ 79 } Sophomore Boys’ Chorus F ourth Hair: ,1. Gunrnicri, .1. Decker. L. Boiardi. B .

In the spring, choir mem¬ bers participated in an outstanding musical event, Th Pirates of Penzance. Mrs. Burns’ pet ambition, an A Capella choir became a reality this year with some of its members starring in the operetta. Mrs. Burns has high hopes for this gro up another year. {81 Standing: P.

There is a great deal more to it than dashing off scads” of words on a typewriter. How can one tell if his work is good? How must a writer present his material? Is an editor a human being? These and many more similar queries were tossed at an obliging Mr. White by eager-to-learn students at the meetings of the Senior Creative Writing Club. Mr. White fascinated the club members by picturing and explaining the vast oppor¬ tunities in the field of journalism as he told all” with many an amusing story from his own experiences. As a further encourage¬ ment, club members were urged to contribute their literary efforts for appraisal and correction. The meetings have proved stimulating and the knowledge gained in such an interest¬ ing manner will not be forgotten in a hurry. 82 Jt It’s fun to remember, isn’t it? Fall, the football season, the football dance . . . Remember Dick Maccabe’s mar¬ velous pictures of our illustrious football team? . . . and the smooth tunes of the Maestro Dick Seeley? . . It’s seven in the morning and guess who’s shivering in the cool, early morning air? Why, the band from Wellesley High! It’s nice to remember that ourband was at Needham Station sending our boys off. . . . Before Christmas vacation we saw the Senior Class production George and Mar¬ garet” ... It was a superb show . . . and the production staff under the direction of Holley Atkinson and Vicky Brock did them¬ selves up proper in the breakfast scene. Did you notice those sausages on the table? Real sausages that’s something in wartime! . A lovely refrain floats down into the audience from the balcony of the auditorium at Wellesley High. It is Christmas time and thirty girls from the girls’ chorus are sing¬ ing those lovely Christmas carols. . . .
