Class Colors Blue and Gold 7 - The Senior Year Book — 1946 President's Address Parents, faculty, and members of the graduating class: We have come to the day which we have always looked forward to with eager anticipation, but now that it is here, we are a bit regretful. We must break the bonds that have held us together as classmates for the past school years. Soon we shall go into the various phases of business, trade, or college for which we have been preparing. We may not all achieve great fame, but whether we do or not, let us remember that we received our basic principles here at the Westerly High School. To our faculty we owe a debt of gratitude. They have strived to prepare us for the difficult problems which we will inevitably meet in future years, and if we cannot cope with these problems, it is through no fault of theirs. To the members of the armed forces of our country who have recently terminated a second World War of destruction and hate, we give thanks from the bottom of our hearts. They fought so that the ideals upon which this country was founded might be preserved. They made it possible for us to continue our education through the war years by keeping the enemy from our shores. The school children of the devastated countries were not so fortunate as we; they were compelled to discontinue their education because of dictators who wished to dominate the world. They are also thankful to the liberators who freed their countries from dictatorial reign. Above all, we must not forget those that made the supreme sacrifice. They gave their all, not in vain, so that this nation might live and progress. To them we cannot express thankfulness or appreciation enough to recompense for the service which they have rendered not only to us, but also to our beloved country. We pray that their souls may rest in peace. The years we have spent at Westerly High will always linger in our memories, for they have been joyful. We shall not forget the proms, parties, dances, and fun in the classroom. Our victorious athletic teams we shall always remember, for they provided us with many thrills, and we were proud to claim them as our own. We showed our school spirit at these games by cheering our hearts and lungs out for good old Westerly High. Although we are leaving old friends, we shall go out into the world to make new and probably just as important friendships. We must face the future with determination and work hard to make this world a better place to live in. To the members of the Class of 1946, a wish that their coming years may be full of prosperity, and that they may be successful in whatever careers they may follow in the future. -FRANK JUIDICE - Sf 8 )►- The Senior Year Book — 1946 Class History We, the members of the graduating Class of 1946, in writing this history, want to express how thankful we are that our graduation is taking place in a world at peace. We are grateful that even during the most devastating war in history we were still granted the priceless privilege of an education. All too well we realize that there were those less fortunate than we in other lands whose homes were a battleground. Their young people, instead of spending their days in the schoolroom, were spending them in the primitive effort for mere existence. Our three years at Westerly High School are among our most memorable. In this short time we have found many new friends and acquired new accomplishments. True, these accomplishments have not been spectacular, yet they are important in our lives; consequently, in years to come, we shall want a permanent record of our high school careers. In order to make it easier for us to recall our three years of study, we shall now present the highlights to you: “Passing in Review” Time: September, 1943. Place: Westerly High School, Westerly, R. I. Event: Our first day in high school. “Scared” isn’t the word for it; “green” describes it much better, as we timidly approached the forbidding citadel. How we envied those colossal seniors, privileged souls, who knew just where they were going. We chose as our class leaders: President, Edgar Maxson; Vice President, Robert Clarke; Treasurer, Farquhar Smith, and Secretary, Dorothy Autry. Time: October, 1943. Event: Football Season. We were real veterans by this time. For the first time an eye of admiration was cast upon a Soph. Four of our boys, John Goose” Gentile, Earl Crandall, James Crowley, and Edgar Maxson, were on the first team, and eight more were valuable reserves. The football season brought with it hope and glory for the athletic stars of ’46. It was also our first and last season with Coach Bob Mudge. Time: November 16. 1943. Event: Prize Speaking. Our candidate was Marie Tamer, who emerged from the eight-round bout with a third prize. Time: December 1943. Event: Basketball Season. It we had shown any signs of athletic ability during football season, basketball certainly confirmed them. Here were born equally great stars : John Gentile, Francis Pelligrino, Irving Panciera, Edward Parnigoni, and Frank Juidice, boys who were to spell “Fame” all across the pages of Westerly’s athletic history. Meanwhile, we still remained “those sophs,” so we continued to proceed very cautiously and to study very diligently. But the championship star guided us, and we became more aware of it as another sport era approached. Time: April, 1944. Event: Baseball Season. A baseball season which brought to us the State Cnampionship for the first time since 1928. The sophomore cheering section worked overtime at the games and marched in the parade of Victory that last night—proud to have contributed young lungs and bat boys. Finally, June arrived; and along with graduation for the seniors, some of our sophomores triumphed. Frank Juidice and Peter Ruisi shared the annual Dante Prize for Italian scholarship, and Marie Tamer was awarded a first prize in the Martha C. Babcock Essay Contest. Time: September, 1944. Event: We were Juniors! We chose as our class leaders: President, Lloyd Kenyon; Vice President, Irving Panciera; Treasurer, Richard Berliner, and Secretary, Dorothy Autry. At this time we greeted fellow students from Ashaway and Hope Valley. Time: October, 1944. Event: Another football season. We really shone in these games. Pellegrino. Gentile, Panciera, Gervasini, and Brainard. What stars! Irv and Goose were chosen next year’s captains. We were also represented by Mary Dohring and Marjorie Macomber in the cheerleading squad. Time: January, 1945. Event: Operetta “Waltz Dream.” John Cross had a major role in the production and did a fine job of it. Nine more of us took part in the chorus as ladies and hussars. 9 ►- The Senior Year Book — 1946 Time: February, 1945. Event: End of Basketball Season. The end of a successful basketball season with another Class B plaque. John Gentile, Francis Pellegrino, Irving Panciera, and Edward Par-nigoni all went to Marvel Gym where once again we assembled to support our team in the final playoff, the State Championship. Although we lost it by two points in a “Sudden Death” period, we were never prouder of our teams than we were that night. They were the real “Champs.” Skanky Pellegrino was elected next year’s captain. Time: Spring. Event: Junior Prom. Our first real social event. The gym was gayly decorated with a circus theme. A fine committee enabled us to hold a very enjoyable prom. Time: May, 1945. Event: Baseball Season. Coach Federico had to start from scratch this season as those “State Champs” had all graduated. But Panciera, Weeden, Wright, Charous, Parnigoni, Morrone, Matteson, Juidice, and Bar-bone came through with flying colors for us. Pete and Cal were chosen next year’s co-captains. Time: June, 1945. Event: Graduation Day. Lloyd Kenyon awarded the Hi-Y Cup for scholarship and leadership. Time: September 5, 1945. Event: Seniors! We had returned after a summer that saw peace descend upon the world. We elected for leaders: President, Frank Juidice; Vice Presi- dent, Peter Ruisi; Treasurer, Mary Dohring; Secretary, Shirley Laing, and Marshal, Maurice Murphy. The student body elected Lloyd Kenyon as President of the Student Council. Clubs were organized for the year and credit will be given for satisfactory participation. Time: Fall, 1945. Event: Football Season. Westerly won the Class B Championship in football for the first time in ten years. Seniors taking honors were Gervasini, Pellegrino, Panciera, A1 Grills, Eleazer, Brainard, and Murphy, not to mention valuable reserves. The annual Thanksgiving Day clash with SHS. A battle royal! We had not only SHS to fight, but all the elements, too. However, in spite of wind and rain, win we did, score 6-0. At long last, Stonington’s winning streak over WHS was shattered! Special mention to our cheerleaders: Mary Dohring, our lively, sparkling senior leader, who along with Diane Terranova, Dottie Currie, and the junior members combined to produce one of the finest cheerleading groups the school has ever known. Time: November, 1945. Event: Senior Prom. A soft musical setting (even the decorations cleverly carrying out the musical theme) made this the gayest and most successful social affair of the year. (Sh—we even made money on a dance!) Time: January, 1946. Event: Basketball Season. Another triumphant basketball season! Led by Skanky Pellegrino and ably assisted by Irv Panciera, Frank Juidice, Lloyd Kenyon, and underclassmen, Siciliano, Bressette, Bookataub, and Nigrelli, the 1946 Bulldog team brought home the Class B Championship trophy from Marvel Gym. But success at WHS could not have been achieved without the sportsmanship and guidance of our grand coach and good friend, James Federico. Flash! May we stop for a moment to pay tribute to two or more of our valued classmates? To Shirley Laing who, through her artistic ability, has made our dances livelier, our “Senior” more graphic, and many of our activities more attractive ; to Aileen Murray, whose intelligent and gentle leadership as editor has prodded much action from a grand Senior Board; and to the senior salesmanship class who have made our social affairs a financial success, too. Time: Spring, 1946. Event: Senior Play. “Berkeley Square,” a fantasy by John Balder-ston, was presented to a delighted audience by the seniors. The cast did a fine job with the play and much credit must be given to Miss Evans, the director. Time: June, 1946. Event: Our Graduation. Our Westerly High School careers are now written and locked in the pages of its history. The future is before us. It is our hope that it will contain, among other things, the simple joys of life that really matter. May contentment come with success; may determined effort and will override disappointment; may the capacity for appreciation be ours always. MARY DOHRING MARIE TAMER Historians The Senior Year Book — 1946 Class Will In the year of our Lord 1946. After deliberating twelve long years, we, the executors of this last will and testament, being of sound mind and memory, with our hankies in our hands, do with great sorrow and grief bequeath our qualities and treasured possessions as follows: 1. I, Calvin Wright, will my bones to replace Pete, the skeleton, who is badly in need of replacement. 2. We, the biology class, do hereby leave our knowledge of paramesia and protosoa to future biology classes. May they understand these terms better than we have. 3. We, Barbara Talbot and Virginia Moor-house, will our beautiful blonde locks to our worthy successors, Phyllis Scott and Helen Hannu, “giving our sum of more to that which had too much.” 4. I, Albert Quattromani, leave my ability to lie in bed mornings to anyone who has the nerve to face Mr. Stevens upon arriving. 5. We, Esther Bernasconi, Janice Burns, and Priscilla Keane, will our friendship of three years to Peg Baker, Trudy Stevens, and Carol Coduri. 6. 1, Shirley Laing, leave my ability to create cartoons and artistic material to that special minion of the faculty, Charles Peterson, and dub him “Wizard of Arts.” 7. I, Skanky Pellegrino, bestow my large, fascinating eyes (which occasionally I strain admiring the scenery) to future boys who admire beautiful things. 8. I, Mary Bamford, leave my two big toes to anyone who undertakes the art of toe dancing. 9. I. Mary Dohring, will my well-trained cheering squad to anyone whose lungs will hold out long enough to lead them. 10. We, Marjory Macomber and Edith Riley, bestow our serenading in gym classes on Jane Bradshaw and Jane Ashworth. 11. I, Syl Abosso, bequeath my preference for redheads to other fellows who favor carrot tops. 12. We, Irv Panciera and Bob Gervasini, leave our tantalizing effects on Miss Evans to the male population in Room 5 in future years. 13. We, the Ashaway Sheiks, Pete .Weeden, John Morrone, and Bill Charous, leave our charms to the future Ashaway Socialites in the hope that they will sway Westerly girls as we did. 14. We, Charlie Hall, Clint Brown, and Leo Moroso, will our streamlined Hupmobiles to any junior boys who think that they can crowd more people into them than we did. 15. I, Pete Ruisi, after three years of bothering the teachers, do hereby leave them an era of peace. 16. We, Gladys Moen and Tony Pena, leave our positions as photographers for the Senior to anyone who is fast enough to catch people unaware. 17. We, the Senior girls in the gym club, will our worn-out uniforms to future members in the hope that they can keep them neater than we did. 18. We, Betty Bertwistle. Bertha Harrington, and Marilyn Carr, leave our experience in the cafeteria to all future girls. Remember, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” 19. We, Irene Terranova, Madeline Grinnell, and Mary Servideo, bestow our trips down town for Miss Aim to anyone who likes cokes in the morning. 20. We, Barbara Main and Joe Pellegrino, leave our towering height to future basketball players. 21. We, Anita Devine, Diane Breen, and Arlene Davis, bequeath our annoying chatter in study halls to future chatterboxes, hoping that they can “get away with it” better than we did. 22. We, Lois Brown and Betty Smith, af- ter racking our brains without success, do hereby leave......... 23. We, Court Loomis and Charlie Barber, leave our daily trek up Granite Street to future unfortunates who come on the Watch Hill bus. We guarantee that you will not suffer from lack of exercise when you have walked up hill as much as we have. 24. We, John Fallon and Bob Stewart, will our The Senior Year Book — 1946 curly locks to future girls who are not quite so fortunate as we. 25. I, Frank Juidice, leave my duties, headaches, responsibilities, and worries that go with being president of the senior class to the next president. 26. I. Marie Tamer, bestow my position behind bars (activity window) to anyone who thinks she can get here by 8:00. 27. I, Janet Chaffee, bequeath my hard head, which I acquired from books falling from my stacked locker every day, to anyone who can take it with a smile. 28. I, Aileen Murray, will my leadership abilities to the Senior Board of 1947. 29. I, Nat Urso, 3rd, leave my friendship with a certain English teacher to my cousin, Natale, 2nd, who will greatly profit by it. (and how!) 30. I, Ruth Codings, leave my ability to be on the winning team to Esther Ricci. 31. I, Lillian Turco, will my winning smile to future Ipana” users. 32. We, the Class of ’46, bestow upon future classes our sincere hope that they will enjoy and appreciate their high school years as much as we have. We have come to the conclusion that we must bestow the dubious honor of being executor of this, our will, on Miss Hanson’s cat, who, we know, will carry out its provisions to the fullest extent. Coming at last to the termination of this document, we cannot but feel remorse in leaving this noble institution of learning, and it is with unsteady hand that we affix our seal to this testament anti leave our High School for the outside world. DIANE BREEN RUTH COLLINGS PETER RUISI Class Prophecy After much deliberation ■On the prophetic situation, We have come to the conclusion That we will create an illusion . . . It’s nineteen hundred and fifty-six— (All our girls have married hicks) The scene is the capital of the U.N.O., And to this place we are to go. Before we go, we have to eat, So to Skankie’s Cafe we aim our feet— In a booth Gervasini— A handsome Marine, eating a weiner, Beside him sits Mary Dohring Who finds teaching very boring She turns to tell Aileen Murray; Who cannot wait; she’s in a hurry. (Are you kidding?) Lil Turco’s orchestra plays dinner music With John Cross singing t..e blues—Hie! Then Marie Tamer puts on a stage show Featuring Bud Kenyon and his Yo Yo. Diana Terranova has made the costumes And Jimmie Jackson’s blown up the balloons. Performing next we see Toot Grills; The Bulldog Basher gives us thrills. To get back, however, to the point, We start to vacate the joint— But Maurice Murphy, the cop on the beat, Takes us to the station and turns on the heat. We forgot to pay the check. So Judge Juidice gives us heck. We get Attorney Bob Mitchell to defend us, But Prosecutor Bob Clark won’t suspend us. The singing waiter, Calvin Wright, Asks us what we want to bite. The cook is Esther Bernasconi, So we order macaroni. Charlie Barber, Chief Bo’sun’s Mate. Slaps Lieutenant Loomis while we wait. Then Superman Collins, the mighty S. P., Takes them back to camp to do K. P. He tells us to get bail in twenty-four hours; Or we’ll soon be pushing up flowers—(daisies) So we go to the bank, but Teller Ann Clarke Tell us she hasn’t got the key to the lock . . . Then Secretary Irene Terranova introduces Pre:' ident Hoxie— Who wants some security; he’s very foxie! We haven’t any; so we forget the fine— When we get back, we’ll hand the judge a line! Tin: Senior Year Book — 1946 Back on the street we call a taxi Driven by Ruth Codings, the cute little hackie. We head for the airport, But the girls get their hair caught In the new-style window Invented by ingenious Marie Lorino. So now at Pete Ruisi’s Beauty Salon We watch the proprietor putting mud packs on. While his right-hand man, Bobby Eleazer, Trims Flattop’s eyebrows with a tweezer. We stop at the drugstore to get a cigar, The soda-jerk is Marylin Carr. (If your face has a blemish, Buy some cream from Frances Klemish.) The registered pharmacist is Johnny Morrone, His silent partner is Tommy Barbone. Finally at the airport, we hop in a plane; Checking names is Priscilla Keane. The daring pilot, Leo Moroso, Winks at radioman, Sylvester Abosso; We ring the bell for some H20 Delivered by the stewardess, Eleanor Vuono. We reach our objective and land with a bang; Out of her seat falls Shirley Laing. Welcoming committee for the U.N.O. Is Isabel Percival and Joe Broccolo— They take us out to see the town In a jeep invented by Clinton Brown. In the residential section is Anita Devine Hanging her washing on the line. Next door the singing teacher, Janice Burns, Blows her top, while Janet Chaffee learns—! We see on Main Street every store That you can find in New York’s core! From a hot dog stand run by Diane Breen— To a Sidewalk Cafe and Shirley Greene, From Irv Panciera’s Olympic Games— To Gerry Matteson, raising Great Danes! To top it all we see Doc Nat Urso Walking with a beautiful nurse—Oh! As we tour, a page boy, Charlie Hall, Brings us news of a wonderful ball To be held in our honor tonight at eight; So to Quattromani’s Hotel we go to wait. Evelyn Algiere, the clerk at the desk, Gives us a room where we can rest— And Mary Bamford, the elevator girl, Shoots us up so fast that our heads start to whirl! To go to the ball we’ll need a tuxedo In the next room is Tony Perra (traveling incognito), We ask to borrow his suit for tonight; He says “No! You want to fight?” So we summon the house detective, Farquhar Smith— Who comes up and gives him a mighty biff! His eye starts to blacken and he yells with pain. Till we call the hotel nurse, Barbara Maine. She tells us to send for a steak from below— Enters the traveling butcher, Amelia DeBartolo! Next we hail a taxi and head for the ball. But Ellen Ralls, the driver, hits a stone wall; We finally arrive an hour later; Greeted at the door by John Fallon, the waiter. (Pete Weeden, the butler, is on strike He wants his boss to buy him a bike). Turning to the guests, our hostess, Arlene Davis, Says: “Look at what Westerly High School gave us!” We join the guests, all of great renown; Including Alice Allen, Betty Smith, and Lois Brown. . . . The entertainment starts with Anna Parnigoni Singing Ann Nardone’s song, “Love Is Baloney.” Next come the contortionists, Jean Clarke and Dot Currie, They do their act and leave in a hurry. . . . During a vocal by Thelma Clark We take a casual glance at the clock . . . We find it’s time for us to depart So that tomorrow we can get an early start— We’re going to visit some important places, And also see some familiar faces, Including Mary Servidio at the Secretariat, That’s also where Barbara Talbot’s at. . . . —— The Senior Year Book — !')46 Up bright and early—to get a seat in the first row And see many friendly faces that we know— There’s Dot Autry with Margie Macomber: They’ve come to see Whitehead’s Atomic Cucumber. One of the speakers today will be Joe Pellegrino, His speech was written by Mary Ann Ferrigno— The subject will be on the price of eggs in China, (The idea began in Charles Marie Sparrow’s Diner). The meeting begins with an invocation Led by George Smith of the American Delegation. Today’s program is read by Madeline Grinnell Who has many important things to tell. . . . The speeches get dryer as the meating proceeds— We almost doze off while John Kenyon reads! The morning session ends to our delight, And we start to the cafeteria to get a bite. . . . We're led there by Bertha Harrington Who says, “If you want a seat, you’d better run.” We run as fast as bullets from a gun . . . And sit at a table with Paul Dunn— The head waitress, who is Claire Mackay, Tells us that chicken is the special for today— The egg factories were raised by Bud West; And Evelyn Gencarella, the chef, is the best! Looking out the window, wTe see Martha McGill Pushing Norton Brainard’s Ford up a hill! Then we pay the cashier, Lois Shader; And leave a nickel tip for Bob Ashworth, the waiter. We go back to our seats and the meeting gets goin’ With another address by Gladys Moen . . . Then Betty Bertwistle reads a speech For Mary Altimari—who has gone to the beach. Next comes the case of the international spy— Mariano Strafach is brought before the public’s eye. . . . The prosecuting attorney is A1 Brooks— (He’s always hated international crooks) The World Court Judge, Ethan Pendleton, Says, “Surely something has got to be done . . . This man may look innocent as a mouse; But first let’s hear some evidence from Virginia Moorhouse!” The evidence is given, And it looks as if Mariano for long won’t be livin’!

This year, under President Lloyd Kenyon, Vice President Alfred Comolli, and Secretary Aileen Murray, the Council was in charge of the entertainment to raise funds for the High School Band. With Miss Lillian Ruisi serving as advisor, the group took action on many measures. The Council has the task of running the elections for officers of each class—have charge of the Student Patrol, which keeps order in the corridors between classes. Many problems and new ideas have been brought to the attention of the administration. Next year with student cooperation the Student Council plans to expand its activities and to create a better spirit among the students for the school and the community. Back row: R. Hinchcliffe. E.

Glee Club One of the most industrious groups in the whole school is the Glee Club. They spend many long hours practicing their crescendos, fortes, and other techniques, enjoying every minute of it. Favorable results probably would be achieved to some extent by anyone, but not to the degree of excellence arrived at by Director Robert Valentine. We feel confident that the musical training which the boys and girls receive under Mr. Valentine will send them singing through life with a song in their hearts.

To develop among the students the attitudes, appreciations and understanding essential to the safe, sane, cooperative, sportsmanlike use of our streets and highways; the sincere acceptance of individual and group responsibility for the conservation of health and life in traffic; and the further development and improvement of traffic conditions through programs of legislation, administration, engineering, enforcement, education, and personnel training.

Shorthand Club This club consists of pupils from courses other than the commercial. The aim of the club is “to develop a knowledge and speed in shorthand usable either for vocational or personal situations.” Some members, who are undecided as to which vocation to choose, join the club to see if they have an aptitude for commercial work. This group realizes that its aim is rather high, but feels that it can be accomplished through the study of Thomas Natural Shorthand, the simplified method. k 4 4 T jp Z 5 ?c 7Z w o ON Back row: D.

The Senior Year Book — 1946 Book Club President—Albert Quattromani Vice-President—Edward Tail Ion Secretary—Dorothy Marra At each meeting of the club part of the period has been devoted to the presentation of oral reports and discussions. Through practice in speaking before the group, the members are showing marked improvement in the organization and delivery of their reports. Since there has been considerable freedom of choice in the selection of books, the programs have been varied according to the age and taste of individual members.

Miss Kingsley. Camera Club The members managed to set up a dark-room in the closet between the two laboratories and delve into the mysteries of developing and printing snapshots. The work was handicapped in that the two entrances had to be carefully watched—those Chem Club students always needed something kept in the closet cupboard—so dark room hours were punctuated with many noises—mainly “Close that door!” Back row: Arleen Davis, Kenneth Prosser.

Cheer Leaders The teams usually get all the honors that go with the victories but behind these champions were twelve cheerleaders who braved the elements in order to boost the morale of the players with their cheering. The Athletic Association furnished transportation to all games, near and far, and the girls did the rest. Rest? Maybe rest isn’t the appropriate word to use in connection with the cheering squad as that is certainly one thing they did not do! Rah! Rah ! Cheerleaders! Tiif.
