Seems funny, but we ' ll miss you, Because you ' re our Dear Howard High. The joys that we have shared, Will never be compared, With those that we shall find within the new. Because you see dear Howard, We have to find them all without you. We ' ll miss our teachers too, And as we bid adieu, We ' ll ne ' er forget our days with you. Our hopes, our dreams, our life, You ' ll help us through this strife. From you we ' ve learned to see them through And so dear Howard High, Now as we say goodbye Our eyes are filled with fond and tender tears. And in our hearts we ' ll treasure These mem ' ries, all through the years. CLASS DAY ADDRESS OF WELCOME ROBERI HAGGLl NO Mr. Lord, members of the School Committee, Mr. Lindell, parents, teachers, and friends, we, the graduating class of Howard High School an most happy to welcome you to the exercises of this evening. Class Day, although we have looker! forward to it, means that very soon we shall be leaving the pleasant atmosphere of school life to enter a world that is yet troubled and restless. Both at home and abroad, problems of great significance for each one of us still face the nation. I his restlessness and these problems will require of us high courage, well-informed minds, and a strong sense of loyalty to high ideals, if they are to be combated successfully. As we look forward to our graduation, we realize that whether or not on to college, we have finished only one phase of our education. And we go on to further learning with a feeling of confidence that we have been given a preparation which includes the courage, learning, and idealism that the times will require. For enjoyable as our four years in Howard High School have been they have also been filled with accomplishment. We owe much to this High School for its warm, friendly atmosphere, and for the opportunity of comradeship with classmates and teachers. To our teachers we owe much for the inspiration of high ideals, for guidance in many difficulties, and for scholarly preparation. To our parents we owe a debt that we can never repay for their love and understanding during the difficult years of growing up. Thus it is that, with a half-regretful look back at these years that have meant so much to us we are confidently ready for even greater constructive effort in the future. Before us lies the timber, let us build. CLASS HISTORY Esther Black and Dorothy Byron It seems only yesterday that we were standing our meager treasury. During this time, however, in the corridor of the spacious high school, as the upperclassmen got busy with initiations and shivering, frightened Freshmen. That was in the girls came to school looking like scarecrows, September of ' 43. Much has happened to our and the boys, after rolling pennies down the walk, class since those days. looked as though they had just shaved and had accidently cut their noses. We soon received an Our class was the largest for a long time, for invitation to attend the Freshman-Sophomore there were fifty-eight of us. In fact, there were Social which completed the initiations. After that so many of us that some of the class had to make night we were accepted as full-fledged members of their desks at the long table in the back of Room Howard High School. I. Mr. Gardner was our homeroom advisor in this, our Freshman year. He looked like one of The first year drifted on in an orderly manner, the Freshmen boys; in fact, the first time we saw and soon we enjoyed a long vacation which en- him, that is what we thought he was, but we soon titled us to re-enter Howard High as mighty learned differently.

' Ma. 02379 THE CLIMBER tary and Dot Hunter as our Treasurer. Even though we weren ' t allowed to do any initiating at the beginning of the year, it was our turn to give the little Freshmen a Social and do our initiat- ing at that time. What a time! Many hours were spent planning all those initiations. Our Sophomore year was drawing to a close, when the boys of the class decided things were going too smoothly so they staged a mock air-raid during English class. They pulled down window shades and executed all the other things that constitute an air-raid. While this was going on, Mr. Young stood at the front of the room looking on, bewildered. Soon, our year as Sophomores ended. Would we make the Junior year? But, then came the old faithful report card saying Promoted to the elev- enth grade. What a glorious summer that was! Now that the class had returned to Howard High School as all-knowing Juniors we had lots of work to do. First there were officers to be elected. Bob Hagglund reigned as our class Presi- dent, Midge MacTighe was elected Vice-President, our Secretary, Bernice Pratt was kept busy, while our Treasurer, Mai Haskins had to begin working really hard, what with that huge Treasury we were at last attaining. Then came the Junior Class Plays which added a large sum to our Treasury and were so good, that they left us in a gay mood in which to start planning for our Prom. What a lovely prom it was with its dedicated songs and its Queen, Esther Black. A wonderful one was our Junior year. What could have been more pleasing than those ten weeks of vacation in which to look forward to our Senior year at Howard High School? When we returned to Howard High this year, our first step was again to elect our officers. Bob Hagglund was again elected to perform his duties as President and what an able one he has been in carrying our class through our final year. Bill Twomey was elected Vice-President, Bernice Pratt was chosen as our Secretary to record our many class meetings, and once again we chose Mai Has- kins as our Treasurer to manage our large treasury and pay our expenses. Our class colors were chosen as green and white. Before us lies the timber, let us build, was chosen as our class motto. Soon after this we were very much surprised and pleased when we received an invitation from the Junior Class to attend a Barn Dance at which we were to be the guests. What a grand party that was and didn ' t we appreciate what the Juniors had done for us! The Football Dance, sponsored by our class, was a great success and a good time was had by everyone. Dighton was the town from which we invited our guests, the football team. They, in turn, sponsored a dance for us. We also had a Basketball Dance in the early Spring at which the Whitman basketball team was our invited guest. Remember that hilarious Lady Spitfire, our class play? What a hit Pat Van Dyke made as the leading lady. Every person in the play was per- fectly fitted for his role and did an excellent bit of acting. The play went over in a big way, and the proceeds went as a big addition to our Treasury. Mai was really being kept busy now. Then we started our plans for graduation, spe- cial exercises, dance routines, and other things were rehearsed and rehearsed for hours at a time. What a wonderful year it has been, perfect in every way. Now we are about to enter another school, the school of life, where experience is the only teacher. As the years go past and we strive to make the grade, we shall always retain all the pleasant mem- ories we have acquired while spending four short years at Howard High School. CLASS WILL Shirley Macomber We the class of 1947, being supposedly of sound minds, quick wits, and high intelligence hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, thereby bestowing our riches of material and im- material goods to the members of the unsuspect- ing class of ' 48, to wit: Gladys Ambrose is one of the quietest members in our class. She can be in a room and no one will know she is even there. This quietness she leaves to Harland Beaulieu, so that he may be seen and not heard. Perhaps, Harland, this will help you keep out of trouble. Robert Almquist is always leaving his home- work ' till first period every morning; yet he always manages to get it done and done well. He leaves this ability to Jennie Zeuli. Just think, Jennie, you won ' t ever have to burn the midnight oil. Rita Crowley has beautiful white, pearly teeth. Her smile is like that of a damsel in a tooth paste NIK Li M B I R ad. She leaves one I her beautiful teeth to Jean Owens to take tin- place ol the one she lost on hi i sliding expedition. Jean Craddock is the gal with all tin men on the string. She always has ;i man, scarce as thi are. Jeanie has written ;i pamphlei entitled, How i,, Win and Hold a Man. Tins she leaves to Janet Gummow . Claire Bemis is an excellent guard m basketball. It has to be a pretty crafty Forward to get b Bean. Claire has promised to give Jackie Oiaff- ncy some tips on her technique, so that Jackie can take her place and aid the Howard Girls in achieving victories. Esther Black wills to her sister Marjorie her great popularity. Margie, I hope you will use this gift and make popularity a family tradition. Norma Canzano, that mistress of melody, leaves her lilting lyrics to Jimmy McLean, so that after Norm has gone there will still be someone to beg us to surrender. Ruth Badger has a great love for sports and is an enthusiastic fan as well as a good athlete. Her skill in sports she leaves to Mildred Hagglund. Both Charles Baker and Robert Lawson have that devil-may-care look in their eyes, a mischie- vous smile plus a great capacity for thinking up things to tease the girls. This they leave to Richard Givanoni. Perhaps, Giv, this will help you to overcome that shyness before the fairer sex. Jimmy Marzelh, the class shiek, certainly knows the way to a girl ' s heart. He is one of the frankest individuals, yet he is the most flattering person. These two qualities he leaves to Donald Daley. See what you can do with them, Don. Thomas Miles is one of our star football players. When Tommy gets the ball he ' s off like a bolt of lightning across the field, ending up with a touch- down. His speed he wills to George Gaskill. Robert Hagglund, our class president, is the boy with ability and initiative. He ' s full of ideas and willing to work them out. His ability and initia- tive he wills to Richard Swann so that if you ' re still president next year, Swannee, you ' ll be able to do as well as Bob and make the Senior Class just what it should be. Harold Dunn is one of those boys who can look at his six feet and grin. He likes being tall; that ' s one time he can boast of having Miss Ry lander look up to him. His height he leaves to Walk- Brown. Theresa Dillenschneider and Janet Johnson are off m the gales of laughter, once something hits their funny bones. Y believer you hear two girls giggling, you know from whei sensitive fiiiins bones thi •. with on admonition — slu must us th - before they los their p I Donald Sherburni and I ram it Mai Hard i thej grew in the spring to 1 I Noyes as a horrible example of not to do. Doroth) I luiif t has such beautiful brown tressi s and bangs; naturally, for what Junior Miss of today does not possess either curly or straight bangs. Well, there is one — yes, believe it or not — and that ' s Shirley Perkins. Dot leaves i loved bangs to you, Shirley; also a word of warn- ing. Don ' t wear them in the rain for the curl is not guaranteed to stay in. David Emerson is always quiet and polite wher- ever he may be. He leaves his charming, quiet mannerisms to Janet Craddock. Jan. you need never feel shy anywhere with these Bernice Pratt has a good time wherever she goes. So that this art will not be lost she passes it on to Ethel Miles. After many happy hours spent at the piano with Kenneth Manzer, Betty Jane Hardinger leaves her ability to admire his genius to his brother Darrell. Shirley Wilbur is always busy with office work, newspaper work, or secretarial work, all of which she does with great efficiency. This efficiency she leaves to Beverly Erbeck. Clara Belle Moore and Barbara Bourne are never heard conversing in the cloak room about their date last night, or the new fellow they just met. So we ' ve come to the conclusion that they are man haters. This indifference to the male species they bequeath to Shirley M Carroll Daley ' s favorite pastime is arguing. He can argue with anyone until he is blue in the face. He has a great capacity for getting himself into jams, but with this gift of gab he somehow usually manages to get out of them. This legacy he be- queaths to John Chambers who can probably put it to good use. Bob Anderson leaves his talkativeness and per- suasiveness to Richard Peterson. It ' s guaranteed for results. Just remember. Dick, that when you have Sociology and Economics next year to leave it outside Mr. Jackson ' s door for your own good; right. Bob: Natalie Gummow and Marjorie MacTighe. those two flashes on the dance floor, have offered to give George Sousa private dancing lessons on modern techniques of dancing. Oh. you lucky boy! Malcolm Haskins, the master mind in chemis- try, leaves his ability to mix chemicals without blowing up the lab to Richard Caswell. THE CLIMBER Billy D ' Ambrosio leaves to Richard Anderson his fascinating shyness. Alfred Michalowski and Lance Ohlson, those scholarly gentlemen, who so obviously spend many hours on homework, bequeath their intense love for all this to Alfred Chaves. Ilene Gaffney, that vivacious damsel, leaves that come hither, look in her eyes to Ernest Molla. It is a most useful asset, Ernie. Lillian Reid seems to have discovered the secret of perpetual motion. This flitting without tripping she leaves to James Whynot. Betty Pross leaves her typing ability to Charlie Barros, because whatever profession he may follow it will always come in handy. Whenever we think of Ruth Wood, we think of a perfect lady. She leaves this attribute to another of her kind, Virginia Tffiomas. Twomey, or was it? Yes, it was that speed de- mon that just went around the corner on two wheels in his red and yellow jalopy. Bill has cer- tainly had a lot of fun in that car, and it has been an accessory to many of Bill ' s school crimes, namely that of skipping school. Bill is leaving his car to Frank Bunker, so that whenever you get that urge, Bunker, you can make a fast getaway. Dorothy Byron will, no doubt, be the first to be married. We don ' t know how she does it, but she does it. She ' s been an engaged girl for over a year now. She ' s promised to give Winona Cole some tips and inside knowledge to help her attain her ultimate goal which, as rumors go, is not far from sight. Madeline Grippen has one of the nicest disposi- tions and is one of the most cooperative persons we know. She is always ready to give a helping hand. These two qualities she leaves to Anne Morse. How can Anne go wrong? Gilbert Robery is such a studious lad. Although he spends many long nights with his only love, homework, he is well rewarded for his labor. He can boast of holding the only record of all l ' s. His intellectual curiosity and studious habits he leaves to Richard Marzelli. Lastly, I am told I possess a dual personality; therefore, I am able to will two things. My sunny, mischievous side I leave to Delores Travers; my quiet, pensive side I leave to Richard Anderson. This foregoing instrument was subscribed to by the class of 1947 of the Howard High School, the testators herein named, in the presence of all, and we herewith attest our names hereto as witness thereof: Nils G. Lindell Principal of Howard High School Arthur B. Lord, Jr. Superintendent of Schools Sarah B. Yukna Class Adviser— 1947 Richard Swann Junior Class President— 1948 Witnessed and attested to in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven. Shirley Macomber Class Attorney CLASS PROPHECY Betty Jane Hardinger Good evening everyone! After twenty years, it is certainly a pleasure to see you all together once again. This may sound like idle flattery — but really, I can ' t see that any of you have changed greatly since I last saw you. In thinking about you all and our get-to-gether tonight, I remem- bered that somewhere I had our old class prophecy written way back in 1947. I thought you might enjoy hearing it again, so I dog-paddled through boxes and drawers until I found it. Here it is. Bob Almquist and Gladys Ambrose have com- bined talents and are running a big farm. Since Gladyses the domineering type, she does all the bossing, and Bob does all the work. Claire Bemis is a famous newspaper reporter. Because of her intense interest in other people and her cast iron nerve which enables her to penetrate everywhere without embarrassment, she is good! She ' s known as Polly Pry and is so alert that she interviews criminals while they are committing their crimes. i David Emerson is a teacher at the new High School. His, Just WHO do you think you are! proves to passers-by that he, like others before him, is STILL trying to take the freshness out of freshmen. Madeline Grippen and Natalie Gummow are school officials at West Bridgewater ' s exclusive [•HI CLIMBER new High School, (Yes. this is 1967). Madelineis the principal and Natalie is her private secretary. Francis Mad lardy, Robert Lawson, Carroll Daley, and Thomas Miles have incorporated a large restaurant called the Eat and Scool Cafe. It has become nationally famous for its clever management. Its drawing card is the magnificent pancakes made by Ilene Gaffney, who, lor three years in succession, won the first prize for the champion pancake flopper of the state. Shirley Macomber spends her days as lady life- saver at swanky resorts. She has very little to do except wear the latest in bathing suits and sit or stroll along the beach with one eye on the water. You see, the girls have no desire to be rescued by another of their own sex, and with Shirley to watch, there is no attraction in the water for the men. Consequently, no souls are lost — just male hearts. The management considers her a great investment. Ruth Badger, Donald Sherburne, Betty Pross, and Billino D ' Ambrosio have formed a musical group called the True Blue Troubadours. They have been roaming all over the United States in the most attractive costumes. From Poor Little Rhode Island, past Beautiful Ohio When It ' s Springtime In The Rockies you can hear the Rhythm of the Hoofbeats Down That Ole Trail to Deep In The Heart Of Texas singing California Here I Come. Shirley Wilbur had always wanted to travel and see the world, but she never could afford it until she suddenly hit upon the bright idea of doing it on other people ' s money. She started a travel agency and personally conducts tours. She now can be found anywhere from Japan to Mattapan, living off the fat of the land and padding the little old pocket book at the same time. Barbara Bourne has written a book that is the best seller of all times .... Always Deep Yel- low. Such an original theme! Gil Robery is the sensation of Hollywood. He ' s now starring in the screen adaption of Barbara Bourne ' s Always Deep Yellow. Just last week. Alan Ladd was heard to remark to Gregory Peck, If only we ' d had what that boy ' s got. Jean Craddock is the only true domestic person to emanate from our class. She is happily married and is raising a family of nine very lively boys. Anyway, says Jean, We have a clever baseball team, with Dad as umpire. Clara Belle Moore is one of the country ' s lead- ing labor agitators. To my consternation, I find the only time she shows any animation, is when at her instigation there is aroused union agitation win.

Beethoven, and Bach. Janet Johnson and I heresa Dillenschneider are professional mourners. I hey are known as the country ' s two Sad Apples. They pride them- selves on not having laughed in fifteen years. Helen Nickerson has become THE Central Broadcasting Company. Helen says, People can shut me off, but NOBODY can shut me up! Norma Canzano and Bernice Pratt were offered a position abroad to teach dancing, but they couldn ' t bear to leave West Bridgewater and its happy associations, so they pooled resources and bought the Canoe Club. Now Saturday night still finds them there, dancing with all the differ- ent patrons of the club. Lillian Reid is running a duck farm. I went to visit her recently and there were ducks every- where. Thousands of them. She quacked me a gay greeting as she waddled over to where I stood and dragged me over to see her new toy. She ' d been getting tired of the farm until her brother bought a tractor to attract her. now she ' s busy day and night, plowing everything in sight. Bob Anderson is a great scientist, from whose master mind science holds no secret. He can split an atom now as well as he used to split infinitives. Ruth Wood always wanted to join the Navy and sail the seven seas. Even if she was a woman, and deprived of this ambition, she refused to be frustrated, and now spends her days on the water as she had planned. From early spring until late fall, she may be seen placidly paddling the swan boats around Boston ' s Public Gatdens. Alfred Michalowski is a poet of the new school. He is the author of the two most famous poems of today — Owed To A Tailor and Lines On A Lady ' s Face. He ' s still unmarried, but has been frequently reported engaged. THE CLIMBE1 Esther Black got tired of having to spend hours on make-up, fashion, etc., so decided to resort to a vocation that would do away with all this. She is an automobile mechanic and now can live in comfort with dirty dungarees, spending many happy hours with coughing motors. Rita Crowley, though she ' s not fond of work herself, can ' t stand to see anyone else loaf. So she ' s running an employment agency — applicants restricted to young men under forty. Bob Hagglund is a designer of exclusive modern neckties. Maybe he hasn ' t gone crazy over his work, but is it ART that makes his only addition to polite conversation, Son — has anyone seen a peanut? Midge MacTighe is running a dog track, be- cause she got so sick of the men, she went to the dogs. Harold Dunn, who speaks very fluent French, is an actor, specializing in Cyrano de Bergerac. He chose this vocation just to prove to Miss Rylander that when he mixed up his French tenses in High School, he really was doing it just to be funny. Bill Twomey is a doctor specializing in heart ■cases. Not interested in Angina Pectoris or Arterio Sclerosis, but palpitations of the heart caused by love. No doubt he is a very busy man. Dottie Byron has opened her own agency for the delivery of singing telegrams. With her beau- tiful little red helicopter, she may literally drop in on you wherever you may live, to sing you some little ditty. Then for a few extra pennies, she will remain and sing to you while you do your work. Such a pleasant job, says Dottie, I have found that people have more fun than anybody. Malcolm Haskins is, in his spare time, a traffic officer at a busy intersection. While blowing a trumpet in a big orchestra is his regular work, he does this in his spare time for pleasure. It ' s so much fun to blow a whistle. Charles Baker is an adviser on wolf techniques. Whenever a young man has trouble making his newest interest go on a date, with him, he comes to Mr. Charles Baker, Adviser in Improved Wolf Techniques and gets set on his feet again. B. J. Hardinger is happily married and has five very musical sons; Ludwig, Wolfgang, Sergei, Johannus, and Kenneth. You have heard once again the prophecy I wrote for you back in 1947. Without doubt, not one of you has fulfilled your destinies as I plotted them. Into all lives the passing years bring rain and sunshine, smiles, and tears, success and defeat, but for today, we can just be happy that we are all here together. What the future brings to us really does depend chiefly upon ourselves. To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. CLASS GIFTS 5y Dorothy Byron and Esther Black Robert Almquist: Bob, since you are so shy when it comes to girls, here is a cute doll to keep you company. Here ' s hoping she will do untd the right one comes along. Gladys Ambrose: Gladys, seeing you have dif- ficulty in reaching objects over four feet high, this stepladder may prove helpful to you. Cheer up, someday you may be five feet. Robert Anderson: Andy, we understand you are working in a meat market cleaving meat; therefore, in case you ever lose your meat cleaver, this one can take its place. Make sure, however, it is used just for meat. Ruth Badger: Ruthie, since your ambition is to become a hairdresser, take these hair pins so you ' ll have a head start in your own business.

Jean Craddock: Jean, your greatest weakness seems to be applying nailpolish during school hours. Because we are afraid yon may have used all you have we have thoughtfully provided an extra bottle. Norma Canzano: Norm, you are the girl with the most curly eyelashes, so here is a curler to keep them always that way. We doubt that you ' ll ever need one though. Rita Crowley: Reet, many times you have been caught chewing gum in class. As you always bad to throw it away, here is a package to keep you supplied. Chew all you want to Rita; I ' m sure no one will object. Carroll Daley: Carroll, arguing seems to be your favorite pastime even in the classroom. You ' d better take these boxing gloves in case someone decides not to just argue. Billino D ' Ambrosio: Billy, you seem to be even better than the girls in the shorthand class when it comes to taking dictation, but when it comes to equipment you never seemed to have a suitable pencil, so take this one. Watch your speed increase. Theresa Dillenschneider: Theresa, many times you arrived late to school. So that you won ' t be late for future appointments take th ; s watch to remind you of the time. Make sure it is always set ahead. Harold Dunn: Harold, we understand you work in a dairy. Here is a little bottle of milk so that when you are thirsty for a drink you won ' t have to go to the dairy and milk a cow. Better keep this with you at all times. David Emerson: Dave, it is rumored that you spent a lot of time at a military academy. You surely must have worn out many pairs of shoes.

We want you to stay that way, so here is a dumbbell to use in your exercises. Madeline Grippen: Madeline, you ' ve spent many nights as soda jerk at Crowley ' s. You were probably kept too busy between the basketball teams and the seminary girls to serve yourself so take this ice cream cone and enjoy it.

Here is some writing paper so you can be sun to an ver all hi ti I ■ now for not writing, Robert Hagglund: Bob, ■ i i iiiliusi.istii dam i r in tin jitt rbugg I ake this rd so yoi steps.

Elizabeth Jam Hardinger: Betty, we all have enjoyed listening to your piano  So that other party won ' t crowd you, here is a piano bench you can occupy by yourself. Thomas Miles: Tom. many times been seen pumping your bicycle to Matfield. Your bike must be getting dilapidated by now. Wouldn ' t you appreciate a brand new 1947 Chevrolet for these frequent trips? Well, here it is. Dorothy Hunter: Dot. that heavy ring will soon wear out the chain you have been wearing it on so take this chain and you ' ll never have to be without the ring. Janet Johnson: Janet, since you ' re the only strawberry blonde in our class, we never want your hair to change its color so here is a package of Henna Rinse. Please keep it this shade always. Robert Lawson: Bobbie. we know you have difficulty in spelling so here is a dictionary to help you in the future. You ' d better keep it handy at all times. Francis MacHardv: Mac. you seem to have a habit of always having something on your desk to play with. Here is a rattle to keep you amused. Have tun! Shirley Macomber: Shirl. you never seem to be able to stay awake in certain classes. Those desks must have been hard pillows so here is a nice soft one in case you decide to fall asleep in your office. Don ' t keep those patients waiting too long. Marjorie MacTighe: Midge. your fingernails have always been the envy of all the other girls in the class. W e hope they never break but in case they do, here are some false nails. Keep them handy. James Marzelli: Jimmy you seem to be quite a shiek. So that you ' ll always be able to keep your dates straight here is a date boot it in that flashy car of yours. Alfred Michalowski: Alfred, we have all ad- mired your flashy tie with the yarn trimmings. It has been rumored that vou decorate them vour- THE CLIMBER self. There must be many of your friends who would like to have one so how about using this yarn so you can do one for them to satisfy their desire. Clara Belle Moore: Bell, we can remember many times when you found it difficult to keep from talking in class so take this scotch tape to help you control yourself. Better keep it handy. Helen Nickerson: Helen, since you are inter- ested in tap dancing and probably will give re- citals, we want you to have this costume as you will probably need several. Here ' s hoping we ' ll soon see your name in lights. Lance Ohlson: Lance, we understand you would like to have a job with the Red Sox. Just in case this rumor is true, your dream is hereby nearly realized for we now present you a pair of Red Sox. Bernice Pratt: Bernice, many times you were heard complaining about your weight. Just so you ' ll be able to get to the size you desire take this package of rye crisp. We never saw any reason for your complaints. Betty Pross: Betty, we don ' t know whether the reason you often wore your hair in a kerchief was because you had a heavy date but if that was the reason and in case you ever misplace the ker- chief, here is a hair net that may do the trick. Lillian Ried: Tootie, you have such a soft voice that often you couldn ' t be heard when we wish you could have been. Take this megaphone so that in the future, when you voice your opinion everyone will be able to hear you. Gilbert Robery: Gil, your artistic work has been the envy of many but you never use colors. Please take this paint set and color your pictures. We feel certain that someday you ' ll be a great artist. Donald Sherburne: Don, you made a big hit in the Senior Class Play as a sheriff and we want you always to make a big hit wherever you go and in whatever you do. We ' re almost sure it was due to your grand acting but it may have been because of the nice shiny badge. So take this one to assure your success in the future. William Twomey: Bill, it must be wonder- ful riding in your beautiful convertible on a sunny afternoon. But what happens when the sky dark- ens, the rain pours down, and the roof won ' t go up in time to protect those curly locks? Better take this water proof kerchief for such occasions and keep it in the compartment. Shirley Wilbur: Shirley, there were several times when you were taking dictation from Mr. Moss that you had no notebook so you had to use yellow scrap paper. We want you to take this notebook so you ' ll be prepared for any future dictation. Ruth Wood: Ruth, you seem to be the type that blushes easily, especially in certain classes. So take this powder to help you conceal it. The rosy color is really very becoming though, Ruth. STATISTICS Shirley Wilbur and Gilbert Robery Here she comes, entering the Inn! Miss Howard High of 1947. She is quite an everyday lass; tips the scales at 6,979 pounds. She is 240 feet, 7 inches tall and it would take the long arm of law to go around that 1216 inch waist. From the top of her hat size 635 7 8 to her dainty shoe size 312, she looks every bit of her 750 years. Let ' s follow her on one of her typical days. She gets up at 7:30, puts on her favorite blue dress, and then eats a big, hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs, coffee, and toast. In spite of her years, she is still in school and her favorite class is English even though she has average difficulty mastering it. Her next favorite period is luncheon period where she eats dozens of tuna fish salad sandwiches. After school, she goes to see her favorite stars Greg and Ingrid in Something They Haven ' t Made Yet. In the evening she enjoys waltzing at the Canoe Club to the tune of The Anniver- sary Song. After the dance, Miss 1947 goes to Scotty ' s for a Hot Fudge Sundae ( did I say one? ), finally arriving home in time to bring the milk in. Little lady you have had a busy day.

MacTighe, N. Canzano, S. Macomber. Standing:— P. VanDyke, E. Black, D. Sherburne, J. Marzelli, R. Hagglund, G. Robery, R. Almquist. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY Lady Spitfire Miss Prudence, (Esther Black) owner of the Rutherford School for Girls, was having a hard time making a go of the school. Flobelle Berthom, (M. MacTighe) threatened to leave the school unless Kay Sutton, the Lady Spitfire, (P. VanDyke) would become a student at the school. Cindy Dale (N. Canzano) and Ginger Reid, (S. Macomber) were two other students who tried to help Miss Prudence upon the arrival of two young handsome lads looking for work, Tom Brown, (B. Hagglund) and Bud Jones, (J. Marzelli). The situation was improved as these two were em- ployed as chauffeur and handyman. Kay Sutton is accidently detained in town and tries to make off with the car belonging to the boys, crashes it, and there, the small town Sherlock Holmes, Constable Jed Buell, (D. Sherburne) makes his entrance. The boys do not think that the girl is really Kay Sutton and try to pass her off as such in order to preserve the school. Everything goes along fine until the entrance of Henry DuFrayne, (Gilbert Robery) Kay ' s fiance who is attempting to carry out their elopement plan by trying to make Kay leave. The story embroils one difficulty after another until the arrival of Kay Sutton ' s father, (R. Almquist) who plans to teach Kay a lesson by denying that she is his daughter. Things turn out well for everyone, including both love smitten couples, Cindy and Bud and Kay and Tom, except for Henry who is discovered to be a swindler using a French accent. I II I CLIMB1 R ACTIVITIES Howard High ' s football team showed but a mediocn record 01 those who saw their games realized the team ' s real ability. Injuries and ii Football ence wire the cause of most of their six loses in nini ird was out iii three or four thrillers, but showed great couragi to come back and trounce other teams. After playing a hard and bruising season, the Howard eleven p Thanksgiving Day game against an undefeated and untied Westwood High- ' I his memorable game ended in a zero to zero ' I adlock, but ■• ' •ill I remembered by all the boys on the Howard squad because of the treat moral Victor) that ' ■ ' ■ Eight members of the graduating class will I lost to the team for n These players include: Captain Bill Twomey and Thomas Miles from the halfback posts; David Emerson and Alfred Michalowski, fullbacks; Mai Haskins and Harold Dunn, tackles; and Carroll Daley and Donald Sherburne from the guard positions These members will be missed greatly, but Coach Gori has S p:nr a great de time building up his reserve strength for next year ' s squad. This squad will be lei by Co-Captains John Chambers and Dick Caswell. The Music Club was formed for th? benefit of those students who wished to learn to appreciate classical music. It is under the capable supervision of Mrs. Music Club Carbonara. Recentlv, under Mrs. Carbonara ' s direction the club went to Boston to hear a program put on by students of Phil Saltman, a well-known musician. The Club has enjoyed various records of Tschaikowski and Bizet. Some of the more talented of the members of the club told the history of, and demonstrated various instruments. Solos en the violin, clarinet, cornet, mellophone and pian were heard. The class was given instructions about the actions and positions of the instruments in an orchestra. The club hopes to form a chorus soon. The Camera Club is under the faculty supervision of Mr. Winthrop Jackson and is led by the following: president, Francis Hoyt; secretary. Winona Cole: and The Camera treasurer, Gilbert Robery. During the year two committees were formed. The ( | u h program committee, the purpose of which was to plan activities for the club period, consisted of Alyce Dunn, Marlene Mason, Richard Anderson, and Alfred Chaves. The other committee, the dark room committee, planned the dark room activities for the rest of the club and included Richard Marzelli. Alfred Chaves. Francis Hoyt, and Mary Staples. Some of the club meetings were spent out of doors taking pictures while others were devoted to seeing slides on the correct position of a picture. The slides were shown bv Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson also taught the club the correct way to frame a picture. Other club periods were spent in discussion and judging pictures which were entered in the monthly contest held by the club. This year traffic problems were handled by the following student officers: Richard Caswell, Robert Hagglund, Malcolm Haskins. Richard Giovanoni. Richard Traffic Squad Marzelli, James Marzelli. Thomas Miles. Richard Peterson, and Gilbert Robery. Richard Giovanoni was elected as captain and Mr. Lindell served as faculty adviser. The members of the squad worked in close cooperation with the newly- formed Student Court. Their work with the court included service as court officers and court messengers. The Student Court was in full swing this year for the first time in several years. Most of it was due to the capable leadership of Judge Richard Giovanoni and Student Court his helpers. The Court was organized to form better cooperation between the pupils and the teachers to see that the High School was kept clean all the time. At the Court ' s first session were many offenders, but as time went on the number of of- fenders decreased considerably, showing that the Court was doing a good job. The traffic squad in the gym saw to it that things were kept clean. The clerk of the Court did a good job of seeing that summonses were issued and seeing to it that the defendants were in Court at the right date. The jurors also should be praised for their quick and wise thinking that brought about the right verdict for the de- THE CLIMBER Student Co-operative Association Boys ' Basketball Operators ' Club Nature Club fendants. The jurors are as follows: Malcolm Haskins, Shirley Wilbur, Richard Peterson, George Noyes, Carol Kohl, Marjorie Cyr, Russell Lincoln, Phyllis Ensher, Ruth Martin and Neil Manzer. The Student Council has experienced a very successful season this year with many new and varied projects introduced. The Student Court has proved a help to the school in its aim to develop spirit and harmony, which should be prevalent in any school building. In the library, monitors can be found helping the students in finding necessary material for their particular subject. The Council attended, as a group, two Student Council Conferences. One at Rockland High School and the other at Wellesley High School in Wellesley, Massa- chusetts. These conferences were held for the sole purpose of developing new ideas through discussion groups and special speakers. Lunch-room supervision also was an asset to the school, along with a few other trivial rules which helped to make the school a better place to come to. Misbehavior in the building resulted in im- mediate court summons. It is hoped that next year ' s council will carry on these projects for the betterment of the school and will introduce some new ideas for student participation. The Council had as its leaders this year: President, Richard Swann; Secretary, Robert W. Anderson; Treasurer, Kenneth Manzer. Mr. Nils G. Lindell served as adult adviser to the group. Although still playing under the unfavorable conditions of the home court, the red and blue hoopsters enjoyed another successful season, winning 11 games and bowing to 5 teams for a total of 6 losses. In trying to overcome difficulties, Coach Gori obtained the Y. W. C. A. gymna- sium approximately one afternoon a week for practice sessions on a larger court. This helped a great deal in overcoming the bad playing habits formed in a small gym. The squad had a slow start, bowing twice to a strong Somerset quintette, but recovered to win the majority of the remaining games. The boys entered the South Shore Tournament, but were eliminated in the first game by 24-18 decision with Canton, which officially ended the basketball season. The team chalked up a total 683 points, as compared with their opponents ' 594 points for 17 games. This gives an average of approximately 40 markers per game for the Howard lads, and an average of 35 points per game for the opposition. The point-getting department included Capt. Bill Twomey, John Chambers, and Dick Caswell, the forward line. They were assisted by Dick Swann and Al Chaves. The guard spots were capably held down by Carroll Daley, Ernest Molla, Bob Almquist, Bob Lawson and Harland Beaulieu. The second team came through with an equally successful season with 11 wins and 5 losses. These boys show a fighting spirit which will be a definite asset to the teams in the future. This Year ' s Operators ' Club was composed of nine members with at least one from every grade in the school. Under the leadership of President Robert Anderson the club did a very good job of running the machines for school and the community. They were always ready to show pictures on a moment ' s notice. Clubs and classes were shown pictures quite often. Various groups and organizations in the town were also served by the club. The boys in the clubs all had a chance to run the different machines. The fellows worked hard to repair equipment and see that it was always in running condition. The club ' s great success was due to the willing- ness of each club member. The club also had the honor of putting on more assem- blies than any other club. We hope that in future years the Operators ' Club will do as good a job as this year ' s.

Dramatic Club Auto Drivers ' Club pe The Dramatic Club was formed this •■■ ai and m I  d. The club consisted of about twenty-five nirK from all grades and Mr. Most was the director. Many things were taken up such as choral speaking, pantomines. sh sketches, and monologues. Kach member participated in most of the event they would be able to develop their acting abilities. The Auto Drivers Club was started in January, under the direction of Mr. Herbert Wessling. The club was formed to teach future drivers the dant_ r in tably associated with driving and need for safe drivers. The club has been actr. it has put on an assembly on safe drivers, and has taken the Driver Education Test given by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The officers of the club are Ricf L. Peterson, president; George R. Sousa, vice-president; Claire A. Bemis. s ci Henry E. Sherburne, treasurer. Out of the many activity clubs sponsored by the faculty of Howard High School, during the Year 1947, the boys ' cooking class under the supervision of Miss BOVS ' Cookina K ve ' y n Hoyt proved to be one of the most interesting and successful projects. I he _. ' boys took an earnest and willing interest in their work and if continued might C ' aSS prove to be better cooks than the girls. Besides learning many new recipes, the boys also learned how to put on a successful full course meal, including the correct setting of the table and the correct way of serving. Included in this club were John Chambers, Harland Beaulieu, Richard Swarm, Alfred Michalowski, Richard Caswell, Robert Lawson, Ernest Molla. Walter Brown. Lance Ohlson, and Frank Bunker. The Pep Club was organized for the purpose of teaching old routines to pro- spective cheerleaders. This was done by varsity cheerleaders. The Pep Club i Pep Club of the largest clubs organized and is directed by Miss Rylander. During club meet ings the members learn new cheers and how to make up new routines. Old Howard High certainly resounds when all the girls go through their routines together. At the beginning of the year everyone who joined the club was required to make up a routine, either by himself or with someone else, and show it to the rest of the group. Several very unique and original cheers resulted. In February a contest was sponsored to see which class could make up the best original cheer and routine. The judges were Mrs. Johnson and Miss Yukna. High honors went to the Seniors, who naturally have had much more experience than the others. Honors went to the Freshmen and the Eighth Grade. The club also sponsored an assembly. The varsity and second team cheer- leaders performed, and the whole group did a cheer together. The feature attraction was a battle royal between the girls ' and boys basketball teams. The boys were slightly handicapped by rubber boots on their feet and fur gloves on their hands. The girls ' team, entitled the Green Hornets, favored by Coach Gori. the referee, almost won the game except for the last two points scored in the last few seconds by the Red Devils, the boys ' team. During the half Francis MacHardy. Lance Ohlson, Alfred Michalowski and Donald Sherburne dressed as cheerleaders spurred both teams on to victory. This assembly met with everyone ' s approval. Next year Howard High should really show a lot of spirit with the enthusiasm, vigor, and pep its cheerleaders will bring to all the sports. With the training they ' ve received, how can they be anything but successful: T HE CLIMBE R BOYS ' BASKETBALL First Row: — R. Swann, A. Chaves, R. Caswell, Captain W. Twomev, C. Daley, J. Chambers.
