THE 1948 UJ E L L E 5 L E Y B fl SflHOR CLASS Gflimia BRADFORD SfniOR HIGH SCHOOL IDtLLfSLfy, mflSSflCHUSETTS e 1)111. UIILLIHH (. STfRGIOS D E D the Class of 1948 dedicate the Wellesleyan to our Mr. Stergios, friend and adviser throughout our years at Wellesley High. We appreciate his ready smile and sense of humor; his loyal attendance, with his little black bag, at all football games; his able coaching of the wrestling team; his understanding of the students of Wellesley High and his devo¬ tion to them; his sincere wish to learn as well as to teach; and especially, his desire to impart to us the value of self- control and a quiet moment. 1 ■ «): K soq c 4 jq ARTHUR f. PlffiCf Superintendent To the Members of the Class of 1948 I am glad of this opportunity to express to you as individuals and as a group my best wishes for every possible success and happiness in whatever walk of life you may enter after leaving the Wellesley Public Schools. I sincerely hope that those schools have made a contribution in knowledge, attitudes, and ideals that will stand you in good stead throughout your entire life. Best regards and good luck. We shall miss you, for you have been a credit to your school, adding profit and cheer to its atmosphere. We hope you will return to see us. We not only shall be glad to see you but shall be glad if you can help us by telling us in what ways you feel you have profited most and in what ways you should have profited more. What can I say to you? This above all—keep clearly in mind the basic principles behind all we have done together so far. They are those of Christianity, democracy and free enterprise. These days, millions all over the world misunderstand and challenge these principles which have brought to most of us freedom, happiness and comfort. The best defense we can offer is to assume the individual responsibility to live our daily lives with charity, friendship, tolerance, initiative and industry. Base your daily lives on these characteristics, and happiness and hope can be yours. R1ISS KRTHERIRE BROHSOH Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls The Class of 1948 wishes to express gratitude to ourloyal supporters, Miss Bronson and Mr. Spang. As the Assistant Principal, Miss Bronson has extensively given her talents in the efficient administration of this school. But even with the many added responsibilities of her new position, Miss Bronson still finds time to listen to the problems of each girl who comes to her seeking aid. Limitless energy and friendliness are virtually the trademark” of Miss Bronson. Mr. Spang, the Director of Guidance, helps the boys with any problem concerning their school life and their future. Co-operative, loyal, friendly, Mr. Spang has an especial interest in the Senior Council and the entire class of 1948. mR. JOSEPH C. SPflRfi Director of Guidance fine Rrts ELMER F. BENJAMIN RAYMOND E.

Secretary Rollie Allen reads the final chapter from his book entitled What We Did in Council. After these regular preliminaries the Council hears the reports of all the activities during the year, the wonderful Sophomore Reception and Football Dance, the hilarious Gay Nineties Scrapbook, and all the others which bring back memories of the busy days. The Senior Class thanks the Student Council and its patient adviser, Miss Bron¬ son, for a very successful year. { 16 Third Row: Robert Rich¬ ardson, George Slye, Dick Dalton.

Home Room Treasurers and Chairmen A great deal of credit is due our hard-working home room treasurers and chairmen. Their tasks go unnoticed each year, except, perhaps, when they try to bludgeon some of us into buying this or that. Will you ever forget the pleas for Bradford subscrip¬ tions or for patrons for ou r school movies? We ex¬ tend our sincere gratitude to these faithful members of the classes. Bulletin Board Committee The Bulletin Board Committee, headed by Muriel Higgins and under the guidance of Miss Bronson, has contributed to the school, by its work throughout the year, its decorative and creative abil¬ ity. Each week new and varied exhibits appear in the form of current events, school activities, college news, and timely topics of interest. The displays reflect the willingness, alert interest, and intensive research required of each member of the committee. Inspired by the success of the Bulletin Board Com¬ mittee, a recently organized group is devoting its attention to the display cabinets in the lobby. Awards, seasonal displays, and accomplishments of various classes are exhibited. Second Row: Harbara Hlood, Shirley Harrington, Carol Doran, Hetsev Child.

The Ulellesleyan The Bradford Under the editorship of Joan Oliver, assisted by a willing staff, the Bradford has spent one of its busiest years. At six different intervals, this student- run newspaper has amused its readers with its various cartoons, pleased many with its critics’ section and kept the students well informed on school activities. One of the most widely read features this year was the Babble.” Following close behind in popularity is the Bradford Backtalk, which extended to the students of the school an opportunity to express their opinions on varied subjects. All in all, the Bradford has done an excellent job of recording school life. In order to provide the student with a good record of this school year, it was necessary for the Wellesleyan staff members to begin their work very early. With Virginia Ramin as Editor-in-Chief, they began the task of collecting information. Cries for baby-pictures went out, material was gathered, flash¬ bulbs began popping, and senior pictures were soon seen being passed around while comments were being offered. In the Class History and Senior Notes, pictures and write-ups, the Wellesleyan has recorded for us our most memorable year.

Band Under the able direction of Mr. Leach, this year’s band has indeed done an outstanding job. It has not only excelled in school sponsored activities, but has also done well in those out of school. Play¬ ing for football games, as well as for the Armistice and Memorial Day programs, the band has won itself a memorable reputation. The most outstanding members received valuable experience at the New England Festival in April. The entire band again took high awards at the festival in May. Yes, on football field or in concert hall, W. H. S. can always depend on the band. Orchestra Playing to the beat of Mr. Leach’s baton, the orchestra, one of the school’s leading musical organ¬ izations, has merited loud applause. Throughout the year, it aids in making more interesting many kinds of programs. The students are aware of its exceptional performances throughout the year at each week’s assembly. By the playing of musical numbers, the orchestra shortened the wait between acts of the senior play. The upperclassmen especi¬ ally will remember the outstanding performance of the orchestra at graduation.

Girls’ Choir Boys’ Choir The Boys’ Choir began a most successful year with an outstanding performance at the Christ¬ mas Festival. They rendered musical aid to the morning devotionals, gave a superior performance at the Christmas assembly, and provided music for the Memorial and Armistice Day programs. In addition, they gave an amazing showing of The Mikado , this year’s choirs’ presentation of the biennial operetta. The climax of the year came with Commencement and its music. The seniors certainly won’t forget. Remember the talent assembly? Of course you do! And you also remember the scintillat¬ ing, coruscating, captivating, ’Tll-flourish-in-green” chorus. Who could possibly have done better than a group from the Girls’ Choir? They’ve won high praise from the townspeople, too, for their perform¬ ance at the Christmas Festival and other programs. And back at school, remember how hard everyone was studying her part the last few days before the Christmas Assembly? And the operetta! Whoever could possibly forget that? Why, simply everyone went, and a few more, besides. And then it was time to get ready for commencement, and then. . . . Third Row: Donald Russell, Dick ( ' anipana.

Assembly Committee This year the Assembly Committee, under the direction of Miss Walton, has been greatly enlarged to encourage more student participation. It is di¬ vided into three groups, each working to provide more variety and enjoyment for the whole student body. Ample evidence of the success of the com¬ mittee’s efforts to bring fine entertainment before the school is found in assemblies featuring a Charm Quartet, a talent show, community singing, and Dick Linden’s band. Complementing these were several fine educational assemblies, notably, the assembly dedicated to Good Government, a lively, illustrative talk on the use of good English, and the program during American Education Week. Devotional Committee The purpose of the Morning Devotionals was to provide a time for an important aspect of our education—spiritual guidance. The program, under the direction of Mr. Crockett, included music and secular readings followed by correlative Bible pas¬ sages. Students were encouraged to plan their own programs. The programs provided either non-sec¬ tarian or comparative selections from definite reli¬ gions. There was no attempt by the committee to teach religion; only individual inspiration was de¬ sired. The success of any program depends upon the response. The response to the Morning Devo¬ tionals was more than gratifying.

The choice of pupils is based on qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The purpose of the society is to create enthusiasm in good scholarship. Juniors who are enrolled as provisional members must be in the upper third of their class. Not more than five per cent of the class may be admitted. Seniors also must be in the upper third of their class, with the enrollment limited to fifteen per cent. After the an¬ nouncement of candidates is made, certificates are awarded at a formal ceremony in early spring. Seniors elected in 1947 and confirmed in 1948: William Barber, Anita Cononi, Richard Dalton, Jane Davis, Zoe Keniston, Anne Montali, Louisa Niccoli, Alan Temple. Seniors elected in 1948: Lydia Bacot, Johanne Burgess, Dorothy Carpenter, Richard Colson, Patricia Darling, Margaret Gordon, Donna Grower, Susan Kedian, Anne Kilmain, Arthur Macy, William McKinley, Joan Oliver, Joan O’Neil, Virginia Ramin, Anthony Rogers, Mary Lou Tedoldi, Barbara Young.

Ilf 717 1 w «r p v| rV J fOOTBALL showed that they were a football team to be reckoned with. Led by Co-captains Ramsland and Mor- ganstern at the ends and with the Bull” and Shorty” in the backfield, the Raiders ran in high to tenth place in Class C League stand¬ ings. After plowing through seas of mud for a 33-0 score over Fairhaven, the Raiders belted the much heavier Needham team to the tune of 21-12, ending the most successful football season Wellesley has had in many years.

Despite a slow s tart, the Wellesley Hockey Team worked its way out of the cellar fighting to hold the Bay State Championship won by Wellesley last year for the first time under the capable coaching of Mr. Good- nough. Handicapped by a new team, Bud” Hines gave this year’s boys excellent coaching. After going down before Walpole 2-1, Norwood 2-1, and Watertown 3-1, Wellesley came up to tie the highly favored Needham team by a score of 2-2. Throughout the re¬ mainder of the season, the Wellesley puck- sters exhibited the fight and determination needed f or victory. { 32 Hockey Second Row: Kdward White, Doug Woodward, George Henrv, Gene Paltrineri, Ross Moyer, Paul Coleman.

As skyscraper Mac says, Tech Tourney, or Bust! —With the first two games tucked away as winners, it looked like no bust. A trip to Brown and Nichols before Christmas vacation paid off 58-42, while on January 8, we hiked to Milford unofficially to put many balls through the basket, winning 62-38. With forwards like Big Mac Magennis and John Hall, centers like Bob Lavin, guards like Mike Reagan and Ross Moyer, and coaching like that of Mr. Steeves, we deserved to be in the Tech Tourney! A great team, a great start,—a great finish. -(33 Varsity Basketball The Wellesley High Cross-Country squad completed a successful season with a final mark of four wins and three losses. Hall was the leading runner prior to suffering a foot injury. Howe took over where Hall left off and finished first for Wellesley in the remaining meets. According to Mr. Chapman, several sophomores showed considerable promise. Among them were Norton, Finnegan, and Nor- cross. Here, in order, is the final standing of the runners: Hall, Howe, Norton, Rogers, Norcross and Joubert (tied), McSweeney, McCarthy, Finnegan, and Irish. Here is a run-down of the scores: In the Division meet at Woburn, Welles¬ ley finished third out of six schools.

Leading the parade of runners was Captain Art Macy in the 440. Bill Short, Kit Boughner, and Bob Langevin fought it out for the sprint tapes, while Fred Rogers, John Hall, and Bill Howe covered the dis¬ tances. Also in the spotlight were such hope¬ fuls as Ronnie Joubert, in the 440, Ed Reed in the 880, Mike Reagan in the high jump, Fred LeFaivre in the shot-put, and A1 Purcell in the 220 .

McLea and Gleason were the junior standouts in holding the pitching positions. Mr. Good¬ nough hoped to build a team from the new¬ comers which would finish in the first division of the Bay State League. Players from the sophomore team of Mr. Hines stepped up to first team positions for there was plenty of good material among the underclassmen. The teams of the past all were eager for victory and this year’s was no excep¬ tion. There was a great day in Wellesley High on April 16. Why? The Gym Exhibition, of course. After months of practice the Atlas aspirants were something to see. Wellesley High will long remember those walking bun¬ dles of Plutonium. Remember the Georges, Paquette and MacNeil, on the high-bar? Lenny Kelsey and Franky Primavera were flying high, too. Then there were Rammie and Willy Barber in the statuettes. Ronnie Cristofori, Phil Curry, and Andy Furlani were tumbling around some¬ where while Rollie Allen and Dink Greenhalgh took the parallels with Bob O’Brien. What a team!

Wrestling Golf Fore!” and the 1948 golf season was off. The voice of the prophet, John Hall, had predicted that half or more of the tournaments would be won. The bets were down for more than half, for inci¬ dentally, John was one of the team’s biggest assets. Dick Peterson and Lima Holden were two formidable prospective candidates for golf king. Cliff Fra zee and Bobby Kinlin were vets from last year’s team, each still trying for a birdie” or better. Ross Smiley” Moyer, a newcomer to the ranks, was the season’s dark horse as all won¬ dered if he could equal his basketball record. The wrestling team with Mr. Stergios at the helm started off the season against a strong Milton Academy. Although Milton had wrestled for twenty years, nothing could prevent Wellesley’s scoring. The big surprise came when Gigi McLean tied in the 121 pound class. In an exhibition bout Rollie Allen was victorious. With BullLangevin back and with Bob O’Neil, Dick Peterson, A1 Purcell, Bill Odell and Billy Mona¬ ghan more experienced, we had a great opportunity for success during the remainder of the season.

Last fall if you were to have looked out on the practice field, you would probably have seen many girls practicing field hockey. These girls, under the coaching of Miss Copley, turned out a very successful season with three wins, four losses and two ties. Since many of the players were veterans, the two teams played some excellent games. The varsity line-up included captain Edith Sommers, Dottie Carpenter, Barbara Blood, Paully Beckwith, Mary Lou Moore, Joanne Felker, Ellie Disehino, Nancy Wood¬ ruff, Mary Delaney, Sally Williams and Rose Borgatti. The J unior varsity, captained by Anne Kilmain, closed the season with two wins, three losses, and two ties.

Girls ' Basketball The basketball season started this year with a turnout of over one hundred girls. In order to make it possible for every girl to have a chance to play, inter-scholastic and intra¬ mural schedules were arranged, whereby every girl who attended practices regularly would have an opportunity to play in a game. Under the leadership of the class captains, Dottie Carpenter, Janet Heaton, and Teddy Kiser, the teams had hopes for a successful season. Each class offered good prospective players for the Varsity team, which was captained by Helen Pipes. The teams had a heavy schedule and and an eventful season. {40 Tennis Tumbling Third Rote: Mary Lou Collins, Joan Donahue, Althea Kiser, Rarbara Fogertv, Virginia Sharpe, Carol Tints.

The Class of 1948, products of the Flaming Youth, depression babies, who were born to the tune of the New Deal, breadlines, and bootlegging. With My Time is Your Time” as our theme song, we entered the world on a straight Democratic ticket. The elite swayed to the strains of the Black Bottom, the Big Apple, and the Charles¬ ton. Racoon coats, plus-fours, and long skirts labeled them as the bees knees.” Such were the Hepcats of 1930—our Parents! Junior high saw the little sparks of the Flamin g Youth united for the first time into the bonfire that was to be the Class of ’48. Pigtail pulling was forgotten in the excitement of a new school experience. The Second World War having broken out the preceding year, we quickly adapted ourselves to defense stamps, victory bulletin boards, and the entrance of family members into the Armed Forces. How can we forget the first thrill of subject teachers, passing between classes with only an occasional reprimand, and our very own lunch shift? Along with convenient fire drills and elections of subject and home¬ room officers, we gradually accustomed our¬ selves to searching out baseballs vainly in the deep grasses. Our second year of Alice L. Phillips remains vivid in our memories. As we were the result of an inflammable age, not one of us was shocked to hear of the fire in our school. Unforgettable were the joys of the temporary classes in the auditorium. And all at once we left our spark—ling eighth grade behind. Things were only beginning to get warm. Now we were at the top. Seniors for the first time. As The Doctor Had a Daugh¬ ter” we came into our own. We were the heads of the various committees, the Philli- pian staffs, and the Monitor System. Growing more socially minded with the years, we made the rounds in a gay whirl of Unitarian Dances and Belvedere coke parties. So soon came Class Day, herald of our Graduation. Every¬ body wanted to dance but nobody wanted to be first. Sure, we’d miss the black and orange, the creaking stairs, Miss Baldwin’s long stride, Mr. Thistle’s bustling manner, and those student assemblies. We left with a feeling of regret countered by happy expec¬ tations of the coming year. We entered our sophomore year of senior high with the world once more at peace. Having reached the age of reason, we sub¬ stituted Fergie’s monthly cotillions for the glamor of purple lights and soft couches at the Totem Pole. Somehow our bright flame flickered low as we entered our first year as squelched under-classmen. My, how we welcomed two lon-g-g lunch shifts and such independence in the halls. At first sports frightened us, but competition never went unchallenged in Father’s day, and we were determined to make a similar impression. Our first big dances came along that year, and we fell into the strides of ticket, poster and refreshment committees, not to mention the last minute efforts to tack up slipping decorations. Creative Lit. enthusiasts found thinking a novelty, while the students of Miss Milliken’s Modern History classes greatly appreciated her German pronunciations. The Yeomen of the Guard” was well represented by our class, with a sophomore stealing the lead. Ahead was our own Junior Prom, going steady, and anticipated evenings at the Meadows.” Class spirit was undaunted despite our position as middlemen, as we flounced triumphantly into our second year. A new and exciting addition to our student body were the Veterans. Craving unlimited knowl¬ edge, they sought seclusion in their newly acquired Smoker. We gloated at disillusioned sophomores ineffectively twirling locker com¬ binations and waiting patiently at the ends of lunch lines. No longer must we endure the over-hanging balcony; we were now segre- OF 1948 gated at the extreme wings, battling bouncing acoustics. Repenting our first weeks’ super¬ iority, and feeling proud to be among the initiators, we graciously played host to the sophomores at the “Icebreaker.” Mr. Upham humanized our Parents’ Era (Error) by being Ernestly Frank about the evils of the ’’Almighty Dollar.” Our first big social event, the Junior Prom, dragged us out of mid-year doldrums into a flurry of artistic creations. Laboring to balance our meager budget, we counted each potato chip painstakingly, and left the dance with a sense of exultation, knowing we had made a success of our first social endeavor. Treasury overflowing, we settled back to studies with a complacent air. Trimming our wicks once more, we flared into the competitive heat of Play Night. Our flames illuminated the Dramatic sky as we blazed a trail to first place. The Morning Devotionals, introduced at this time, under the able direction of Mr. Crockett, became a daily inspiration. Green with envy at the seniors’ escape from finals, we pawed desperately over old assignment sheets, vainly attempting to cram a year’s knowledge into one week of grueling study. Many an honest tear was shed at Graduation as ’’Pomp and Circumstance” heralded the exit of the Class of ’47, and the entrance of the Class of ’48. Characteristic of our namesake Thor, we crashed into our Senior year, accompanied by the fanfare of rolling thunder and jagged lightning. A shock awaited us upon our return; Mr. Gaige had presented the student body with a bouncing baby moustache. Undaunted by private school rivalry and Social Register protocol, we valiantly upheld the traditions of our blazing background. ’’From the tables down at Bendslev’s our voices raised on high,” we could at last wallow in Senior Superiority. Paine Street was Jalopy Boulevard now and “double four spades” was the password. Despite banging pipes, freezing corri¬ dors, and sticking bells, we turned our efforts toward a year of hard and gratifying study. Applications were hopefully sent to colleges and, as never before, exams took to a new importance. Miss Walton courageously faced the task of supplying Mr. Chapman’s Modern Problem students with the necessary informa¬ tion on flying saucers. But not to neglect the social aspects of school life, we must briefly mention the Sophomore Reception, the Junior Prom, and our very own Senior Prom. The heritage of our Flaming Youth had regressed into the Mid-Victorian fashion of trailing skirts and hidden necklines. And so, with ankles demurely concealed, we glided deftly into the task of presenting the Senior Play, “Come Rain or Shine.” With “Chicken” making the cast violently ill, we managed nevertheless to lay a golden egg. Our success was dimmed only by Miss Macomber’s unfortunate accident. Failures seemed to have no part in our productions, as t he sterling performance of the “Mikado” once more proved. Excellent direction in both cases was the touchstone of success. The once blazing bonfire has now be¬ come a steady and warming flame. Suddenly our Senior year is at an end. Now, for us too, “Pomp and Circumstance” marks the end of our wonderful, never-to-be-torgotten school years. We face the future with the same fiery spirit, disciplined now by a newly acquired sense of responsibility. We can set out with assurance for whatever might be ahead with the memory of six gratifying years behind us. In Mary Hull’s words, “Our years together have been simply Wizard.” HA.GA 16 E. HAD PKE5CNTE0 T«E STUDENT BODY WITH A BOUNCING BABY NOvS- tacme the NEW LOOK, ? Senior Council Among the paint brushes, chalk and canvases in the Art Room, the Senior Council, during occasional Thursday X-periods, en¬ deavors to settle the numerous problems of the senior class. This council, consisting of the senior class officers and the senior members of the Student Council, meets in order to make plans for various senior events. The members, under the chairmanship of President Bill Barber and the capable guidance of Mr. Spang, sponsor such activities as the class play, the senior picnic, and the graduation assembly, includ¬ ing the gift, the will, and caps and gowns. Second Rote: Roland Allen, lieorge Sl.ve, Rob Rarnslnnd, Tom Dyer, Dick Dalton, anto Mandozzi. Front Row: Donna (■rower, Zoe Krniston, Rill Rarher, Mr. ' •-pang, Tom Morganatern, Joan O ' Neil, Anita Cononi. {56 stmoe pm After eight weeks of riotous but gruel¬ ing rehearsing, December 20 finally saw the curtain rise on ' ’Come Rain or Shine.” The play itself was an hilariously gay comedy perfectly suited to college and high school players. The members of the cast re¬ member most vividly the heated arguments (part of the script) and the shouts of ”Hey, Chicken!” (not part of the script) which came from the wings whenever Glen and Agnes failed to indulge in the kiss. Also unforget¬ table was Miss Milliken ' s unquenchable spirit, which spurred the cast on whenever it seemed that one more minute of rehearsing was simply impossible.
