After the curtain has been rung down and we have taken our final bows , we embark upon new courses in diverse pursuits. However , as we have seen from the multitude of return¬ ing servicemen , school will always remain a significant part of our lives. With this in mind , we have patterned the Wellesley an after a typical school day , in the hope that it will recall for all of us, and especially for the boys now in the Armed Services , the memories we have gathered here—for many years to come. Wellesley Free Library Wellesley, Mass. JASPER R. MOULTON because ... he commands respect he commands affection his influence is strong and lasting his discipline is subtle and sure he is a favorite with teachers he is a favorite with students MR. JOHN F. SCULLY Acting Superintendent To the Graduates of the Class of 1945: Most of your school life has been spent in a world at war. Many of your school mates are now at war. If you have near relatives in the Armed Services , your life has been deeply affected. You leave Wellesley High School for a world profoundly disturbed , but a world filed with opportunities for service. If possible, continue your education. If your country calls , you must obey. We hope that you will prepare for a life of service. If you put service above self , you will be happy and useful citizens. MR. STACY L. BRAGDON Acting Principal MISS KATHERINE BRONSON Acting Assistant Principal MRS. OLGA PETERSON Secretary to the Principal MISS LOUISE BALBONI Assistant Secretary Administration As every class must have a teacher , so must every school have an administration. In Wellesley High this job is capably performed by Mr. Bragdon and Miss Bronson , while our principal, Mr. Gaige, is in the Navy. They are aided and abetted by the secretaries, Mrs. Peterson and Miss Balboni , to whom much credit is due. The war has also placed a great load on our faculty members who have had to work overtime to make up for the shortage of teachers. As in the case of the administration , theirs is a job well done. For such as these , we can truly be grateful. MISS KATHERINE BRONSON Girls Guidance Director MR. ALBERT P. MATHERS Director of Guidance, Curriculum , and Research English ALICE J.

Delegates from the school’s council attend their meetings. The regular meetings of the student council occur every Monday with Miss Bron¬ son as advisor. This organization sponsors such activities as the Football Dance, United War Fund Drive, the Red Cross Drive and Play Night. The profits from Play Night are to go to the Scholarship Fund for Wellesley High School graduates. The council backs intramural sports and it voted that we resume membership in the National Honor Society. Last year’s projects have been continued also. These include the Service Flag, the Bulletin Board, and its outgrowth, the display case. Fourth Hoir: T. Walsli. R. Miner, S. Austill, Dingswortli, R. McC ' juj liin. .1. Cannon Third How: P.

This organization has participated in many school and town activities. Accompanied always by the delightful twirling corps, and under the leadership of its capable director, Mr. Leach, the band has stirred its audiences at the Memorial and Armistice Day parades, the football games and rallies, and at its major performance of the year, the Band Concert. From the beginning of the year, it was evident that the band needed new uniforms; consequently the Band Concert was arranged to provide a fund for this purpose. Many weeks of planning and rehearsing went into the program. Because of this arduous prepara¬ tion, it was a great success, as all will agree. Fourth Row: P. Popko, C. Lloyd, A. Anderson, S.

Particularly welcome were the musical interludes in our weekly assemblies, and the players enjoyed it as much as the audience. Their enjoyment and ability can be traced to Mr. Leach’s masterful direction and contagious enthusiasm. This was evident in the contribution to the festivities of last year’s graduation. Many times during the year the strains of classical and semi-popular favorites echoed through the building to i nspire and delight the whole school. Particularly popular was the “Waltz of the Flowers” heard at one of the several program interludes. On a special occasion a string ensemble entertained the Boston Women’s Professional Club during their annual Christmas celebration. For all this many thanks are due to Mr. Leach and his talented musicians. Fourth Row: P. Beckwith, E. Ireland, C. Fitch, L. Litvack, C. Chase, H. McCrillis Third Row: D. Foss, .1. McBurney, C.

Higher percentages and lower money totals than in previous years have characterized the Stamp Drives. Although some rooms required per¬ sistent reminders, rooms 111, 205, 209, 309, and 311 had consistent hundred per cent participation, with many rooms close on their heels. Congratulations to these hundred per cent chairmen and their rooms! Interest reached its peak during the Sixth War Loan and Outfit G. I. Joe cam¬ paigns, which were held during the year. The Minute Man flag flew over the school almost all year. Third Row: M. Beuttcl, .1. Montopoli, R. Becker, W. Cook, .1. t� � iuld ‘Second Row: R. Vaughan, ,1. Keller, S. Moore, F. Perini, .1.

Odell 24 The outsider, looking at the Wellesley an might be bewildered by the name X-period. Yet to the students it’s nothing about which to wonder. It’s their own special extra period created for extra-curricular activities and war courses. But somehow it needs showing to really explain it; so if this outsider took a tour of X-period he would begin to understand. By 8:45 things are beginning to buzz. As the visitor walks through the halls he hears Wie gent es bei Ihnen?” from the German class. Across the hall the Studio Art group scratches its head and then thinks of some new esthetic creation to work out. The gym pupils of this early hour are of a special kind. They stumble, trip, or feel their way along, trying to open their eyes wide enough to seem awake anyhow. Not so the Typing-Code class. A brisk beep beep and clatter clatter” is heard as the students send and receive mes¬ sages. The Student Council meets in 105 and makes plans for the betterment of student organization. From the rear of the Assembly Hall the band is heard practicing for one of its many public appearances. A detour is neces¬ sary to get to the second floor. The bulletin board is being fixed and how can you tell which pictures would look best where if you don’t spread them all over the floor? As the visitor passes by 201, music fills the air. The Choir is preparing for one of its all too few concerts. Then there’s the library. This seems to be the time and place to meet friends and try to talk over the latest experiences. It’s so hard to study. Along the way in a small room the Stamp Drive Com¬ mittee is pulling its hair out by the roots to think of ways to get and keep the Minute Man Flag. Up on the third floor the Nutrition and Home Nursing classes give helpful hints for home happiness. All that equipment in 311 is for the radio group, those Edisons in the making. A quick slide down the banisters and back on the first floor. But what’s that noise? Oh yes, passing bell—period’s over.

The highlights of the production of this book were the overwhelming response of the seniors to the request for baby pictures, the splendid co-operation of the student photog¬ raphers, Ray Newton and Milton Grubbs, and the effective work of Bert Talcoff and his business staff. Tribute should be paid to the typists, and the artists for the parts they have so capably performed. All members of the staff worked diligently to produce a publication of which the school might truly be proud. They are deeply indebted to Miss Parker, Miss Celeste, Miss Guild, and Mr. Jewell for their advice and assistance without which the Wellesleyan would have been impossible. Sixth How: R. Newton, J.

Students are responsible for all phases of the paper’s development. Of course, even though the staff has assumed the entire burden of the work, the faculty advisor, Mr. Crockett, is available for much valued advice and aid at all times. The paper endeavors to give all groups of the school equal representation, to promote every school enterprise, to encourage all possi¬ ble participation in extra-curricular activities, and to reflect an accurate picture of school life. It is the earnest hope of the Senior Bradford members that The Bradford of the future will continue to be the students’ own paper; above all, that it will be permanently rooted in the heart of Wellesley High School.

Gates Assembly Committee This year the Assembly Committee endeavored to meet the demand for greater student participation in the weekly assemblies with quiz shows, musical programs, talent assemblies and other forms of entertainment suggested by the students. This goal was more nearly attained than in past years. There have been fewer outside speakers and movies. Those presented were picked to give guidance as well as enjoyment. In the future, with the combined help of the committee and the stu¬ dent body a greater degree of perfection will be reached. 144 Cheer Ceaders i?ue Stieklin, Margaret Perry, Barbara Hunt, Ralph Keltie, Virginia Cupp, Rosella Donahue, Beverly Jackson Come on, kids, let’s yell!

The first game with Lexington was bitterly fought, but with the co-captain SpiP ' Kerivan dis¬ abled with a fractured wrist, and seven men injured during the game, the jinx was upon them. Under Coach Bean’s tireless drilling, the team improved steadily, and a formidable defense of Stanwood, Sullivan, Chisholm, and Strehlke was developed. It is reported that the Natick coach said that he and his squad were really worried when they saw the boys in action. But once more their jinx prevailed and the team suffered defeat. Although they came up with a smashing, passing attack that rocked Needham on its heels, it was the same old story—we lost by six points. However, in another year it is felt that the energy of Coach Bean and the boys will combine to build a team upon which fortune will smile more favorably.

Needham, our arch rival, won the first encoun¬ ter. Superiority in playing was displayed in the second match and Wellesley came through with a well deserved victory. The highlight of the season was the exciting game with Watertown, a team which had been undefeated for five seasons. Al¬ though the odds were against Wellesley, the team rallied to a victory over its highly favored opponents and the season’s upset was a source of pride to both the girls and their coach.

Five men were elected to the All-Star team, Co-Captains Spiff” Kerivan and Dick Stan- wood as well as Harunk, Nicolo and Murray. A severe loss was sustained when Ed Sullivan left for the Navy, but his place was ably filled by Lennie Maccini. School spirit attained a new high during the hockey season with each game played be¬ fore scores of Wellesley fans. Only four hun¬ dred tickets were sold last year, while twenty-six hundred were sold this season. The team came from last place in 1944 to second place this year.

The squad was di¬ vided into five teams: the first and second Varsities, the Senior, Junior and Sophomore class teams. The Seniors, captained by Jean Allison, finished the season with three wins and two losses. Captain Joanne Blood led the Junior sextet to three wins, a tie and a loss. The Sophomores with Sissy Allen as captain finished with four losses and a tie. Opponents in¬ cluded Needham, Framingham and Newton as class games; and Dana Hall, Watertown and Weston as Varsity matches. The first and second Varsity teams were made up of the outstanding players from each of the class teams. The final reckoning was two losses apiece. Second How: Miss Moulton, J. Langevin, P, Allen, J.

The team played its best in the Marl¬ boro game, a fast passing game in which Wel¬ lesley came out on top, 43-23. Dover was also defeated in a last minute rally, giving the team two wins against thirteen losses. Coach Bean also devoted much of his attention to the J. V. squad, which had a more successful season, winning four and los¬ ing eleven. Much of the next year’s team will have to be drawn from thej. V. ’s, a team which shows great promise.

Foote 4 51 Track As is the case in most sports, track will be hard hit by the loss of students who have entered the services. This year’s team will consist of newcomers and underclassmen who will have to train hard to approach last year’s record. Last year’s team had an outstanding season. Led by Grout, Maccabe, Haward and Murren, the team was undefeated and re¬ ceived further honors by winning third place in the State Meet. Some of the members from last year’s team who will be out this season are Burton Brown, Stuart McIntyre, Bill Capers, Dick Weden, and Tony San Martino. These and many others worked hard last year and learned much from the 1944 team. The team will start training early, and even though it has had little experience, Coach Chapman has hopes of another success¬ ful season. Second Row: Mr. Chapman, R. Stevenson, M. Beuttel, J.

Odell 152 } Maseball Wellesley’s baseball team this year will be one of newcomers. The services have taken many key men and left the team with few ex¬ perienced players. Joe Rooney, Tom Kelly, Chick Gallerani and Bill Roberts are among those who have left. The team this year will be built around Tony Pini, Jim Decker, Bob Rooney and Bob Fraser. Much new material is coming out and Mr. Goodnough’s hopes are high. If we are fortunate and the services don’t step in, Spif Kerivan and Dick Stanwood will also be out. Last year’s team had a fairly successful season, winning more than it lost. The team beat Needham twice, Framingham once, Natick once, and Lexington once. Since the Yearbook went to press before a candid could be obtained for this page, the staff is presenting a proud baseball team of a few years back. All pictured are, or have been until recently, members of the Class of ’45. Can you identify them? Second Row: Mr. Goodnough, J. Guarnieri, F. Rice, B. Gorham, G. Foote, R. Fraser, L. Pearl, M.

Ireland 4 53 } Zke Season in Review FALL At one time or another, nearly everyone has seen the football team out practicing until late in the afternoon. But was anyone watch¬ ing the day Lawson Rankin, with a flying tackle meant for the dummy, sailed through the air in a beautiful dive?— Chis” having previously removed the dummy. The girls were also much in evidence after school with their land form of hockey. During one of their games with Watertown, the band paraded by, gaily playing ' The Star- Spangled Banner,” and unthinkingly paralyzing the patriotic players. WINTER It has yet to be conceded by either side, boys or girls, that the other has better rules for basketball. Perhaps this is because each game is incomprehensible to those who play the other and better way. When they gave the rope to Chis” as part of his door prize at the Framingham- Wellesley basketball game they didn’t expect such a violent tug. The unsuspecting audience was startled by a loud crash, and an empty platform on wheels slid into the room. After desperate attempts to assemble the parts, Sparkie,” the gallant steed, made his debut. Other towns, too, noticed the pre¬ dominance of blondes on the feminine court. Jane Harvey’s poor gym suit! The needless washing the other members of the team felt necessary to give it. For a time there appeared to be a serious shortage of elastic on the J unior team. Next year’s hockey team will certainly have a hard time surpassing the high water mark set this year. Mr. Goodnough put in many hours of work on coaching and was rewarded by being locked in the locker room by his enthusiastic stars during the opening minutes of the Walpole game. However, this was compensated for when Captain Kerivan requested that the game be held up because Mr. Goodnough, who left Wellesley seven minutes before the scheduled starting time, had not arrived. We hope that no Puritan souls were shocked by the boys who so frequently im¬ bibed from a suspicious looking bottle. The contents were hardly intoxicating—just good old H 2 0. SPRING When spring frees everyone from the confines of the gym, many sports appear on the scene. Among the first is archery in which both boys and girls can be seen vieing for bull’s- eyes. Jean Pipes is probably the most skillful wielder of a racket in school, having won badminton and tennis medals galore. As successful as Jean in another line is Dotty Kendrick with her record of wins in swimming meets. Let’s hope this year’s baseball team doesn’t pull another boner like Dick Stan- wood’s. With a man on third in a close game and a bunt called for, he lunged forward and missed the ball entirely. Thinking that the catcher would surely catch the ball and put out the player sliding in from third, Dick yelled forth, I ticked it! I ticked it!” The player had made a beautiful run—only to be returned to third. 154 mr-i Tf MA cy B Off DO A football Dam The Football Dance was the first gala event of the year. Several talented and en¬ thusiastic committees supplied refreshments, unique and decorative figures of the team, and one of the popular local orchestras. The high¬ light of the evening was a Virginia Reel organized by Coach Bean. The whole affair was a grand send-off for the boys in their annual Thanksgiving game against Needham. { 58 } Senior Play On December 8, 1944, the senior class IpF Wt presented George M. Cohan ' s Seven Keys to Baldpate,” a melodramatic comedy. The cast —including a tough blackmailer, a vivacious widow, a typical girl reporter, a polished young gentleman, gangsters and several others—por¬ trayed its parts very realistically. Special credit is given to Mr. Newton who directed the production and contributed much time and labor to the scenery. SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE Written by George M. Cohan Directed by J.

We teachers, horror strick en but resolute, scanned the new arrivals who seemed even more moronic than the last—if that could be possible. We no sooner got them straightened out in regard to the complicated” system of classes than we had to start passing out traffic slips—they simply would not keep in single file or desist from talking in ranks. When the first problems of readjustment were over, it was necessary to start disillusion¬ ing their angelic souls by gently hinting that life]was not a picnic. Yes, homework started. Now to be sure, they were all very anxious to learn, but we had difficulty in teaching them the right things. They were primarily inter- fc� TTV JACKSON SU7H ' VJRG NJ CHt-Chl U BY CHASE AVJNC- ULLfc y .WllUfc EATON TtBBM Cl ested in the delicate art of gold bricking.” Try as we would we could not make them diligent. Day after day they came to class with stories such as, My little sister fell down the stairs so I had to wash the dishes instead.” —or My uncle came to visit from New York and talked so loud I couldn’t study.” Well, after we got the problem of home¬ work over we had to start on the subject of discipline. Apparently they had absorbed little or no discipline previously, so we had to broach the subject rather gently. The days of Tom Sawyer had long since passed so we had to be content with verbal measures. F periods were assigned and the system of demerits was explained. They caught on rather quickly, and, needless to say, they could estimate quite ac¬ curately what they could or could not get away with. Pretty soon J une rolled along and the freshmen were swaggering around like ninth graders. The next thing we knew it was summer, and we had a long blissful vacation. When the dear little souls reappeared, well scrubbed to commence the second year in J unior High we summoned all our courage and determined to see it to the end. Pretty soon they started going steady” and signs of puppy love showed themselves. We laughed up our sleeves but were thankful that such gentle emotions had quieted down stronger and more disturbing impulses. About this time we noticed the students became especially clothes conscious. Loafers and horrid, shapeless, baggy sweaters made their appearance, only to be answered by loud socks and flashy ties. The male voices began to change and provided no end of classroom amusement. The girls generally seemed to tower over the boys who had not yet begun to grow. Yes, adolescence really bloomed, and RETIRE inevitably flowered into adulthood of the ninth grade. Here the students were exposed to the trials and tribulations of a little more work. They began taking college and non-college courses, but flunked them all with equanimity. Of course, we had to pass a few, but only the cream of the crop. A few leaders managed to get them¬ selves elected officers despite heavy opposition on all sides. They arranged a unique class dance in which girls danced with girls, and boys didn’t. With a great deal of tugging and pulling they made their exodus into the Senior High. Here they were deflated to puny Sopho¬ mores which somewhat dented their pride, but not for long. Soon they were screeching down the halls to their associates and adding to the gold rushes of 11:45 and 12:30. In assembly, however, the chosen few had to sit where they were told. Gooey gobs of lipstick could be seen flashing in any color from blueberry to coral and sack suits were draped around baggy masculine contours. During their Junior year, many of them acquired grandiose ideas about running the school, but, with the help of the seniors, we teachers soon put them in their places. They made particular diversions for themselves in study hall where copper heads could be seen slithering around at great speed and chair joints groaned with painful regularity. They were back in their second childhood because toy airplanes were likely to be floated around at any given moment—if they could get away with it. As September ’44 approached, many weary souls presented themselves dismally for their last year of exposure to public education. Many were the problems they had to cope with. Morale dropped exceedingly low, and was sustained only by Vanjohnson. What few bedraggled males were left certainly held their own. They closed the gates on female as¬ pirants for officership, at least up to March, and they made an awful lot of noise about nothing in one notorious class meeting. It’s a good thing we don’t have to pension all those officers. Because of the preference of football to footlights, one of the features of the year, the Senior Play, was presented with a Junior leading man. Unless Mr. Bragdon declares an individual armistice, the Senior Dance will either see a superfluity of does or an invasion of the school grounds by Devens. But somehow we’ll get them through the throes of graduation activities and send them on to more of life’s problems. J. K.
