AoAoAo,,o,o,o,Qg,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,o,og.o,o By Catherine Hynes and William Tirrell Our freshman year is the first proof of our abil- ity, for many of us took the most difficult fresh- man subjects. Within a week we were fully acclimated to the intricate school routine, show- ing that our standard of intelligence is very high. All during that year we applied ourselves industri- ously to our studying as this was the most import- ant year for the laying of the foundation of our future success. We held no social functions this first year at which to demonstrate our originality, but spent our time establishing ourselves as one of the best behaved and most studious classes ever to enter the school. Proof of this is found in the honor roll which contained a greater number from our class than from any other. After a necessary vacation of two months in which many of the class Worked to gain experience for future use, the Class of 1940 returned on Sep- tember 8, 1937, to settle down again to learning as much as possible. Wasting no time, we held an election in which James Carey was chosen presi- dentg Fred Carey, vice-presidentg Lucy Conway, secretary: and Adele Bearce, treasurer. All of these officers were chosen for their outstanding ability and character, which we consider the im- portant factors of success. Some time later, in November, the whole school was entertained by certain capable members of our class, among them Lucy Conway and Bernard Saftler, who demonstrated the enormous advances made in the school toward public speaking. Is it possible that students with no ambition-as it has been stated we are-could spend all their available leisure time in preparing a program such as this? The answer is obvious. For a further example of ambition, on Janu- ary 28, our class presented its only dance of this school year. Because of the loyal and tireless efforts of everyone connected in any way with the various committees, this dance was a pronounced a social and financial success. With no experience at all in this kind of work, the committees suc- ceeded in establishing a record for good entertain- ment. Does that sound like laziness? What if an hour or two a week was spent at a soda fountain? It is an established fact that everyone must have some recreation, and we are certainly no excep- tion. Also, a large number from our class spent their afternoons at various club meetings in school, such as the Photography Club and the Literary Club. Most certainly this cannot be laziness, for, although natural talent and ability play a major part in these clubs, hours of hard work in research and study are consumed at each meeting. Starting in January, several boys and girls be- gan to practice two, three, and even four after- noons every week to obtain the physical coordina- tion necessary to take part in the gym exhibition presented annually in March. Nearly every good characteristic known is needed to last out these three months of intense training which is always appreciated in later life. Certainly, these pupils cannot be called lazy. Naturally, as many of these activities mentioned are extra-curricular, they received only a minute part of our school year. It is needless to record the weeks upon weeks of steady applied concentration to our routine of studies. At the end of this, our Sophomore year, the only class that had more pupils on the honor roll than we did was the Senior Class. This is another proof that we are capable of doing good work. If enough examples illustrating the fitness of our class to receive diplomas have not been cited, many more are as easily obtained. On September 21 of the new fall term of 1938 an altogether new set of class officers was elected, notably among them Thomas Beland who has remained our presi- dent from that day till now. He, certainly, must be ambitious to undertake the innumerable duties of such an office for two years. The other officers were Mary Reed, vice-president, James Carey, treasurerg and Norma Kirby, secretary. Becoming better and better equipped to handle everyday problems, our class officers began to de- velop methods of treating social affairs systematic- ally, in order to save much time in the future. They agreed to co-operate completely and to in- vestigate fully orchestras to be obtained for our dances. These methods were tested at our Junior Dance and proved such a success that all social functions are governed by them. Extraordinary intelligence is needed to put over new ideas, whether in school or business life, and our class succeeded. A Tri-Town Contest was held in 1939 sponsored by the American Legion which offered prizes for the best essays written about the Armistice. Stu- dents from the three towns, Abington, Rockland, and Whitman competed and Anne Lincoln, a mem- ber of our class, received second prize. This cer- tainly shows that we have brilliant and energetic people in our class. There were several candidates from our class for the varsity football, baseball, and basketball teams this year, among them surely a high per- centage of coming stars. It is unnecessary to state what perseverance, aggressiveness, and initiative T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 0 VWKDQJQEQJQZQJWZQJQJDQQJQWDQJWKEQJQZIQJWKDQJOKDQJQVDVWZQJQWD are developed by these sports, for this is shown every day all around us. Another example of ambition was a patriotic assembly presented in April. With no other re- ward than the knowledge that they were helping the school, Mary Tirrell and Priscilla Chapman wrote and delivered patriotic essays to a packed hall. But this is only one instance. Everyone in our class has had a chance to help the class at least once a year, and in every case each one has come through with flying colors. Our class is really to be congratulated instead of being made the subject of derogatory remarks by persons with unfair prejudices, but even more proof of our ability can be introduced. To almost anyone, even the writing of a contest essay is a most difficult task. But when the Ellen Conway Spellman Prize Contest was announced, Louise Goss, a member of our class, responded immediately by writing and delivering an essay which took second prize, the first prize having been won by a Senior. This does not show lack of industry. As dances are the major social activities of any class, our dances served to supply us with a bot- tomless source of evidence of the talent, clever- ness, and perseverance of every member of our class. For an example, on October 20, 1939, we presented a Harvest Dance at which the decora- tions displayed were so brilliant, impressive, and authentic as to draw words of admiration from the dancers and guests. One cannot realize the amount of time and energy expended in preparing the decorations for such a dance unless he has served on one of these committees. To present one of these dances the committees must have originality, industry, imagination, good taste, and skill com- bined. Another instance in which great industry and concentration are needed was the Senior Class Play, The Right Mr. Wright, which was pre- sented on December 20. For weeks the members of the cast met and rehearsed, in order to insure the greatest performance ever given. A very large proportion of the varsity football squad came from our Senior Class, among them Leslie Holbrook, Fred Carey, Tommy Kelley, Robert Lynch, and Donald Perkins, who showed courage and intelligence of the highest degree in the various games. Without these boys, a success- ful football team could never have been produced by Coach Etelman. Furthermore, their school marks testified that they did not allow sports to interefere with their school curriculum. In March, Mr. Bayley assigned the two gradua- tion essays to Priscilla Chapman and Mary Tirrell, and the rest of the Class Day and Graduation honor parts to the other highest ranking students. This showed that at least our principal and our teachers approved of our receiving diplomas at graduation and consider that we have done our work satisfactorily. From these facts it is easy to see that, contrary to these accusations made against us, we were one of the most industrious, intelligent classes that it is possible to assemble in a public high school. We have proved that we do not lack talent, we do not lack ability, we do not lack studious concentration, and, still being human, we can rightfully declare ourselves to be the acme of educational success and well deserving of the diplomas offered to us by the high school. ..1. emi., Class Advisers To our Class Advisers, Mrs. Payton and Mr. Smith, who have given us unlimited aid in all our undertakings, do We, the Class of 1940, with grateful acknowledgment, extend our heartfelt thanks.

The evidence which we are here to present will, we are certain, prove con- clusively the absolute unfairness of such an accusation. To you, Your Honor, and you, conscientious, up- right, and fair-minded members of the Jury, we present this book in which each Senior during the year of 1939-1940 set forth his most cherished ambition, his aim in life. In addition to all this, we have submitted the book to the infallible machine, the Futur-o-scope, which scientifically examines all prophecies and predictions and declares them true or false. The seal of the Futur-o-scope on each and every one of these ambitions attesting to their validity fully disproves and denies lack of ambition. We, the prophets of 1940, carefully examined this book and we now give to you an accurate sum- mary of these ambitions. With them as a basis, we draw for you a picture of our town fifteen years from now. Many are the changes which the ambi- tions and energies of the Class of 1940 have brought about. And now, Whitman on June 8, 1955 . . . 4: :z: 1: HF Occupying the entire block from Temple Street to School Street is the main office of Conlon Gar- ages, Inc., with William Conlon as its prosperous, pioneering president and the once sleepy but now wide-awake and energetic James Howard as vice- president. Vernon Churchill, sales-manager, must daily check on the activities of over two hundred salesmen. The duties of chief accountant are handled capably and efficiently by Thomas Beland. President Conlon is envied for the accuracy of his office force, which includes statisticians Pauline LeFc1t and Edna Bureau. C. P. A. Howard Lincoln, on his annual tour of inspection, congratulates the office staff on the flawless condition of the books. Catching the progressive spirit of the Whitman of 1955, chemists William Tirrell and Philip Holmes, with the assistance of mechanic Joseph Zoobkoff and laboratory technician Mary Reed, de- veloped an inexpensive substitute for gasoline capable of giving fifty-two miles on a five-cent gallon. Upon first demonstrating their invention to superintendent Carlton Corliss, they were promptly discharged, for he feared loss of busi- ness, but, because of the farsightedness of the president, they were immediately rehired. Andrew Peterson, distribution manager, reports that the iirm's best customer is the MacRoberts-Perkins Furniture Company, the largest furniture corpora- tion in Plymouth county. Across the street is a huge sign reading, Con- way and Kimball, Exclusive Fashions, Successors to Paul Poiret of Paris. Because of the clever styling of Aune Isaacson and Evelyn Coulter, the fashion parade leads not to Paris, but to Whitman. Julia Hamel and Ruth Shulenburg are busy con- stantly, directing the world-wide correspondence of the shop. This shop is patronized by many, chiefly because of the fine modeling of Kathleen Joy. The establishment is managed by Ellen Maki, while the two owners, Lucy Conway and Janet CDakeJ Kimball, spend their winters in Florida and their summers in Maine. The chief competitor of Conway and Kimball and the second reason for Whitman's leading posi- tion is Madame Norma Kirby, Modiste, whose shop is located on the corner of Whitman Avenue and Washington Street. Over fifty per cent of the profits of this shop can be traced directly to the beautiful modeling of sport clothes by Meredith Spooner and of street and evening clothes by Mary DiMestico. Seamstresses Barbara Thrasher and Parky Deminico are responsible for many of the styles worn all over the world. Lena Yankowski and Ruth Reed in charge of office affairs overload postmaster William Hill with the heavy corre- spondence of the organization. Located a few blocks from the business district on South Avenue is a gigantic textile manufactur- ing plant-the Saftler Mills. Products from this company are carried to all parts of the country by the Sanville Trucking Company, Paul Sanville, president and treasurer. In the chemical labora- tory of the plant, Benjamin Rymut and Daniel Moskowitz are working on a non-fading blue dye. The whole textile world awaits their results. Priscilla Chapman and Catherine Hynes do their work as secretaries in the office of the factory so efficiently that they leave at noon, while Ruth Danforth struggles with her punctuation until five. Standing in front of a prominent hardware com- pany fover which is a five-foot neon sign bearing his namel, Thomas McGrath is engaged in a heated argument with Leo White, salesman for a fishing supplies company. Summoned from their near-by executive offices, accountants Lincoln Robinson and Donald Browne meekly try to inter- vene. The argument seems to concern a wager over the size of a trout supposedly caught by White. White is having difficulty in collecting his winnings because McGrath has had experience with White's angling ability and fish stories. Soon, Police Chief Fred Carey, on the job as ever, arrives to arrest the two for disturbing the peace. A few blocks farther, opposite the library, is Rita and Mary's Beauty Salon, Mary Angus and T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 0 QJW7DQ!fOsfDQJi0fDQ!0sfD f2!0fDQJtOfD Rita Bureau, co-managers. Much of the firm's popularity may be traced to Grace Correa, finger wave specialist, and Marguerite Leighton and Geraldine Burnett, who give unsurpassed per- manent waves. Due to a new shade of finger nail polish developed by manicurists Beatrice Beary and Annie Isaacson, the fame of the establishment is wide-spread. Sadye Gordon, receptionist, finds her work of' receiving the many customers inter- esting. The shop also maintains a diet depart- ment operated by Bertha Tabaroni and Alice Avery, dieticians, and their assistant Mary Mar- taian. The slim, 110-pound figure of Mary leaves no doubt in the minds of the customers as to the efficiency of this division. The managers often place an advertisement in the Whitman Tribune. Commercial artist Dorothy Hamilton believes the beauty shop should insert a full-page ad, while editor Mary Tirrell maintains that a half-page with colored illustrations would be more effective. Your Honor and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, have you as yet discovered anyone in the Class of 1940 who lacks ambition? Whitman High School, in this year 1955, is now considerably enlarged and accommodates over two thousand pupils. Among the faculty are such names as Jean Cambridge, sewing teacherg Ro- berta Adams and Doris Cummings, home eco- nomics instructors, Audrey Smith, shorthand teacherg and Alma Baker, head of the English department. Donald Slack, as manager of that world-renowned lecturer, John O'Neill, has in his usual persuasive way, talked the principal into having O'Neill give a lecture on television tech- nique to the students. The Whitman City Hospital, which in 1940 had been forced to move to larger quarters, in this year 1955 again had to move into much larger quarters. The new location is the old Clark estate at the corner of South Avenue and Park Avenue and the hospital is now made up of six large, beautiful buildings. This hospital is the best-equipped and most famous one in the state of Massachusetts. It attracts wealthy patients from all parts of the state. Here Dr. Elinor Litchfield, a famed special- ist, is about to perform an operation on the injured leg of hockey player John Donahue. She is very ably assisted by Margaret Deehan and Katherine Blakeman, the most efficient surgical nurses in the Commonwealth. Two charming medical re- ceptionists, Mary English and Shirley Swanson, are on duty in one wing of the hospital. They direct patients to the offices of the eminent Dr. Leslie Holbrook, dentist, and to the popular dental hygienist Muriel Forrand. The wing of the build- ing devoted to the bacteriological laboratories headed by Anne Lincoln is one of the most inter- esting parts of the hospital to visit. Expert assist- ants Lydia Pigago and Betty Cloutier give Anne unfailing help in her experiments. District nurse A 21 Doris Hopkins inquires about the patients of Helene Lonergan, the nurse in charge of the chil- dren's wing of the hospital, while Evelyn Purpura, R. N., makes out the annual report of the hospital showing that out of a total of 5,684 patients treated, 5,679 recovered. Anna Stillman, secretary to head nurse Margaret Robbins, has charge of all these amazing medical records. Near Whitman proper in this year 1955 is a small suburb, once the flourishing city of Brock- ton. There one might see the production of a movie at the Frank J. Sweeney Studios, where Stephen Lipinski produces film masterpieces with Sara Miller as his competent secretary. Director Fred Fahrenholt is in charge of the latest Tarzan adventure, starring Edwin Jokinen and Polly Hig- gins. Expert cameramen John Averell and Albert Grover are responsible for the trick photography that is an interesting part of the production, while Richard Barry supplies the scientific data for all forest scenes. Nearby, Allan Smith is working on the 1955 version of the Pinocchio cartoons. The studio orchestral directors, that famous pair, Ruth Hall and Priscilla Webster, handle all the sym- phonic productions, one of the most popular types of movies in this year of 1955. Louise Goss CHOI- brookl, wardrobe supervisor, with the aid of Nellie Hogg as her assistant, has charge of the costum- ing of such stars as tragedian June Cole, and Adele Bearce, favorite musical comedy star of the decade. Alyce Pundis, highest paid actress on the lot, is threatening for the fifteenth time to resign as she tears her hair and declares violently that her faithful manager Kathleen Barry has falsely rep- resented her. It seems that the root of all the trouble is a statement in the Studio Whisperings column of Richard Morse. who erroneously asserted that she used a hair bleach and this in- sult could not be borne. It is all that Morse can do to pacify her, which he finally does with a promise of a full paragraph devoted to her next starring picture in his column. Near the studio lot is located Washington Field, the home of the Whitman Reds, champions of the American League as usual. One is not surprised at the high standing of the Whitman team, as it includes such prominent players as Lefty Forbes, pitcher, and catcher Jimmy Carey. At third base is Slaughter-House Kelley, with Diddy Ed- wards at shortstop, and Stanley Paul in center fieldg all turn in Hawless performances. All the games are broadcast through the courtesy of the Eleanor Clark Roller Skating Rink and the Marion Colby Riding Academy, and are described by sports announcer Alden Turner. The sound of planes flying overhead arouses little attention, for Whitman has long held a prominent place in the field of aeronautics.

The field now employs only test pilots, for all planes are radio controlled by radio operator Kenneth Neill. This type of plane was designed by navy draftsmen William Mathison and Robert Wood. Officer Thomas Burnett of the Navy Planes Division of Washington is stationed here by the government especially for the purpose of watching daring test pilots Robert Lynch and Gordon Beal, whose job it is to try out all the new discoveries of the designers. Ground superintendents Robert Morgan and Edward Zoobkoff suffer frequent heart attacks because of the chances taken by these fearless aviators. Thus we find all the members of the Class of 1940, each busily employed in his chosen path in 1955. How Whitman has profited because of their efforts! Can such a group be accused of lack of ambition? We, the prophets of the Class of 1940, submit this summary as indisputable evidence of the am- bition of the class. In order that you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, may accept these as abso- lutely true facts, we remind you that the Futur- o-scope has never failed. of.v.V.v.V.v.v.v.v.v,v.v.v.

WRIGHT On Wednesday evening, December 20, 1939, the Senior Class presented its annual play at the Whit- man Town Hall to a large audience. The cast enjoyed working together and at this time wish to express their appreciation to Miss King for many hours of coaching and to Priscilla Chapman whose services as prompter were very helpful. The play was an account of the plight of hand- some young Wayne Wright Uimmy Howardl, who was running away from his many ardent feminine admirers. Seeking refuge at a mountain resort, Wayne was confronted with trouble at the moment of his arrival. First, there was a young honeymoon couple named Lovejoy lLincoln Robin- son and Mary Tirrelll, but registered under the assumed name of Wright to escape the wrath of the bride's fatherg and then there was a couple named Wainwright tFrank Sweeney and Doris Hopkinsb, who caused more misery because of the mix-up of names. A Spanish Senorita CNorma Kirbyj and a night-club singer QMargaret Dee- hanb sent to the lodge by Wayne's scheming lawyer 4Dick Morsej to get him, and Carol Carbaugh CLouise Gossl, his college friend's sis- ter, who fell for Wayne, caused him still greater misery. This was topped off with the discovery that Clinton Carbaugh's CPaul Sanvillej fiancee, Paula Pennington fMuriel Forrandl, was one of his former admirers: but then Wayne met Harriet Harper fDorothy Hamiltonl, who would not capitulate to his fatal fascination, thus causing Wayne to immediately fall in love with her. All complications were eventually straightened out to everybody's satisfaction, and the identity of the right Mr. Wright was established. STL'DEXT L'Ul'Xfll.

The Student Council of Wlzitmmz Hzgh School Maintaining as its objectives representation of the student body and assistance to the school whenever possible, the 1939-1940 Student Council has faithfully carried out its duties. In order that all pupils might become acquainted with the Work of the Council, the homeroom presi- dents have given reports to their rooms on the day after each meeting. The Student Council Monitor system, regulated by new rules, was supervised by its members for the first half of the year and then handed over to members of the student body. Friday afternoon dancing classes given by the Council increased the attendance at regular eve- ning dances. For the purpose of visiting sick pupils and sending them cards, a Hospitality Committee was formed. A committee is at present studying the possibilities of limiting extra curricular activ- ities of all pupils. A Rules Committee has revised the rules of the building and plans to publish these rules next year are being made. Among the services the Council plans to render during the spring are the building of bicycle racks for use during school hours and the installation of clocks in rooms 5 and 117. As an aid to the community. the Council carried on a Red Cross Drive, a March of Dimes, at each of which it raised over forty dollars, and a Com- munity Christmas Tree for the benefit of needy children. For its social events, the Council presented an assembly at which Captain Plummer lectured on the sinking of the S-51, a community sing of carols at recess during the week before Christmas, and an evening dance, all of which proved suc- cessful. Delegates were sent to the Fairhaven and Durfee High School Conventions at which Thomas Beland, as President of the Southeastern Branch of Student Councils, presided. Under the guidance of its capable advisers and the leadership of its competent officers, the Stu- dent Council has earnestly tried to be of service to all pupils, to the faculty, and to the community. , 1 F .

Senior-fzmz'0r Dramatic Club At the beginning of the year, the Senior mem- bers of the club presented Miss Chace, our adviser who resigned during the summer, a card table in recognition of her faithful coaching. The group held meetings throughout the year and elected committees for various club events. On April 26, 1940, the talented members presented three one-act plays, coached by Miss Tinker and Miss Wood, and supported by every member of the club, each of whom served on some committee.

Photography Club The Whitman High School Photography Club was organized in 1937 with approximately thirty members. Because of growing enthusiasm among the student body, the membership was limited to the three upper classes. The club has had outside speakers at its meet- ings and has given several very good exhibitions. On the night of evening school there was a color- ful exhibition in the hall featuring the work of the members. This year for the first time the Photography Club presented an exhibition outside of Whitman, taking part in the exhibition at Bridgewater where the showing was received with a great deal of praise by outsiders. The officers, President Albert Grover, Vice- President Bernard Saftler, Secretary Edna Bureau, and Treasurer Louise Goss, and the adviser, Mr. Gordon W. McKey, have led the club through a very successful year. l.l'ltlfR.Xl Y 1'l.l'l! lwrst Rim: llnlt II' Vlkfllli .Xlmzi linker, Klaire Xlzum, livclyn Coulter.

Program Chairman On December 6, 1939, a tea was given to the faculty and Student Council Members. Miss Burns, Librarian of the Brockton Public Library, was guest speaker of the club on Janu- ary 10, 1940. At that time Miss Burns gave a number of interesting reviews of current books. In March the club entertained the Brockton Monitor Club. The club as a whole enjoyed an educational tour through the Brockton Enterprise plant on April 10, 1940. The school is very appreciative of the Hne work done by the club in mending, cleaning, and ar- ranging the books in our Library. Uli1'11lf5'l'li.X lfzrst Rim.

On Armistice Day, despite its small size, our band captured first prize for the fifth year in suc- cession. Because of the insufficiency of members from the high school, additional members have had to be recruited from the Junior High School. 30 The band played at the Gym Exhibition and marched in the Memorial Day Parade, doing a very. creditable piece of work on both occasions. This year the band has five drum majorettes, three High School girls and two others from the Junior High School. These drum majorettes are reported to be the best Whitman High School has yet had. Much credit is due Mr. Donald Leach, the di- rector of our band, for the fine work he has done.

Early in October, candidates for speedball were called. Speedball was introduced to Whitman girls for the first time this fall. The game includes bas- ketball, soccer, and football, combining the best features of each. Many teams were formed and the girls enjoyed the new game during the crisp autumn days. In mid-November all the girls interested in intra-mural basketball reported in the lunchroom and teams were organized. For the next few after- noons practice and instruction games were held in the gym for the benefit of those girls who had never before played. The following teams and their captains were organized: Hunter College ......... Mary Martaian Bryn Mawr ..... ...... L illian Jackson Wellesley, ..... .... M uriel Hagstrom Sweet Briar . . ........ Mary Reed Trinity ....... ...... L ucy Conway Regis .......... .... G ertrude Croke Mt. Holyoke .... ...... K athleen Joy Colby Jr. ..... ........ M abel Douty Jackson ..... ..... J osephine Burns Radcliffe .... .... E leanor Bearce Talbot ...... ....... K athleen Barry Michigan ........... Marilyn Hagstrom Pembroke ............ Helen Kuzborski After a Round Robin tournament that lasted for several weeks, Pembroke was declared the winner. . Class teams were organized and the following girls were elected as captains: Freshman, Eunice Brineg Sophomores, Eleanor Bearce: Juniors, Marilyn Hagstrom, and Seniors, Mary Reed. The Sophomores gained an easy victory over the Freshmen and the powerful Junior team man- aged to overcome the Seniors. In the finals, the strong Junior team defeated the Sophomores. Following this, in early December, varsity candi- dates were called and approximately forty-five girls reported. In about three weeks the squad was cut to twenty. Long and hard practices then ensued because the first game was scheduled for January 4th with Middleboro. The first team regulars were made up of Marilyn and Muriel Hagstrom and Mary Joy, the guards being Eleanor Bearce, Kay Barry, and Mary Reed. The schedule and scores were as follows: January 4 Whitman 18-Middleboro 8 January 12 Whitman 14-Oliver Ames 21 January 17 Whitman 22-Stetson 23 January 19 Whitman 21-Rockland 12 January 24 Whitman 14 Attleboro 20 February 2 Whitman 25 Middleboro 17 February 9 Whitman 25 Rockland 15 February 16 Whitman 14 Oliver Ames 18 March 8 Whitman 21 Stetson 13 Although ten games were scheduled, only nine were able to be played because of a cancellation of the Attleboro return game because of a severe snow storm. Out of nine games Whitman won five and lost four. The following girls comprised the entire squad: Mary Reed, Kay Barry, Meredith Spooner, Sadye Gordon, Marilyn and Muriel Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Marilyn Meserve, Mabel Douty, Gloria Tabaroni, Constance Huddleston, Norma Bradshaw, Gert- rude Croke, Beatrice Barry, Eleanor Clark. Emily Brittain, Eunice Drake. Grace Kenneally, Eleanor Bearce, Pauline Churchill, Dorothy Pennini, Phyl- lis Hall, Frances Sprague, Eunice Brineg Mary Martaian, assistant manager, Lucy Conway, man- ager. Lucy Conway and Mary Martaian were the two team managers and they proved to be in- dispensable aid to the team and to our coach, Miss Pollard. Lucy Conway, Sara Miller, Kitty Joy, and Beatrice Beary received numerals for playing one half the periods of the class games. The Seniors who received W's for playing four years on the class teams are: Kay Barry, Meredith Spooner, and Mary Reed. The coveted Varsity Letter Award was pre- sented to the following girls who played at least sixteen quarters in the season: Captain Reed, Kay Barry, Muriel Hagstrom, Marilyn Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Eleanor Bearce, and Manager Lucy Conway. When the girls' basketball season was nearing its close, candidates for the twelfth annual Gym Exhibition started practice under the competent direction of Miss Pollard and Mr. Etelman. The Gym Exhibition needs hardly any advertising be- cause its fame has spread throughout the district. March 15 was chosen as the date for the Exhi- bition and Mrs. Ethel Bearce of the Whitman School Committee, Miss Helen Gilmore, and Mr. E. Marion Roberts, both of the Physical Education Department of Brockton High School, were the judges. The judges' assistants were Adele Bearce, Thomas Beland, and Muriel Forrand. The Exhibition started promptly at eight o'clock after a concert by the band under the direc- tion of Mr. Leach. This year the Junior High Girls again presented a dance novelty, the Wizard of Oz. The main feature of the exhibition then fol- lowed-the apparatus work.

Then the much-practiced pyramids concluded the Exhi- bition. The girl to win this year's cup was Kathleen Watson. a Junior. The members of the team then presented gifts to Miss Pollard and Mr. Etelman to manifest their appreciation of the hours of hard practice they devoted to the teams. Lucy Conway and Priscilla lVebster were also presented with gifts because of the co-operation they showed in coming back every afternoon and playing the piano. After about three weeks' rest, all girls inter- ested in badminton, tennis, and softball were asked to sign. Many games were played and everyone enjoyed the spring schedule.

Of these she won five and lost two, winning also the mythical district championship. Early in September, the first call for candidates was made with over fifty boys reporting. The vet- erans reporting were Captain Fred Carey, Thomas Kelley, Philip Holmes, Leslie Holbrook, and Don- ald Perkins. The first game with Bridgewater saw a power- ful and highly favored Whitman overwhelm a be- wildered Bridgewater team by a score of 26-7. Captain Carey, Kelley, and Holbrook did fine work in the backfield, while Edwards, Lynch, Holmes, Lincoln, and Perkins were outstanding in the line. The next game scheduled was with Burlington, but, for reasons unknown to Whitman, the game was cancelled. The next game found Whitman completely out- classed and outfought, losing the game to Hing- ham with a score of 18-0. Captain Carey, aided by Kelley, was outstanding even in defeat. During the following game with Rockland, the Whitman boys, out for revenge, rolled up a score of 27-0. Rockland had little chance against Whit- man's hard running backfield and charging line. Carey, Holmes, Kelley, and Holbrook excelled. Next, Whitman journeyed to Plymouth to meet her old rival on their own ground. After a slow first half during which Plymouth led, the Whitman boys came back with a dazzling offense to beat Plymouth 7-6, in one of the finest games of the season. Captain Carey, Edwards, and Perkins played well. Whitman's next opponent was St. Mary's who, though undefeated, met its Waterloo at Whitman, for Whitman overrode St. Mary's with a power- ful running attack by a score of 21-0. At Weymouth a stubborn Whitman team was defeated in a blistering battle by 18-6. Captain Carey was spectacular afield while Holmes and Perkins performed creditably in the line. Under perfect weather conditions Whitman journeyed to Abington to do battle with her ancient rival. In the most exciting game of the season Whitman defeated Abington by a score of 16-13. At the half, Abington led 7-0, but in the second half Whitman began her march, aided by Kelley's fine runback. Carey scored, with Don Plausse contributing the extra point. A few minutes later, Abington scored again but this only aroused the Whitman team to cover 45 yards to score again. All the Seniors gave their best in their last game for W. H. S. The Seniors who played were: Captain Carey, Kelley, Holbrook, Edwards, Perkins, Lincoln. Lynch, Holmes, and Forbes. In December at the annual football banquet, the Seniors received sweaters as their awards, and the underclassmen, major W's. Those receiving sweaters were: Carey, Holmes, Perkins, Lynch, Lincoln, Edwards, Holbrook, and Kelley. Also at the banquet, James Vahtsevanos and Donald Plausse were elected co-captains for 1940. To them and their team-mates we wish a successful season. BASKETBALL Over fifty boys reported this season for intra- mural basketball under the direction of Coach Etelman. Thomas Kelley, Francis Chiros, Earle Perkins, James Carey, Fred Carey, Donald Plausse, Howard Edwards, Allan Smith, Howard Lincoln, and Donald Perkins were chosen as captains of the various teams. The annual league championship was won for the second consecutive year by the N. Y. U. team captained by Earle Perkins. The Juniors ended the Senior's streak of luck in class victories by defeating them in a thrilling and well-played final game. .x',x',x',x'.x'.x'.x .x',x ,',x',x'A',x',x',x',x x'x'.G T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 0 VARSITY BASEBALL-1940 Varsity baseball practice has not yet started due to the cold and wet weather. As this article is written before the season starts, it will be im- possible to give anything but a bare outline of the season's expectations. The returning prospects are: James Carey, Howard Edwards, Thomas Kelley, Francis Chiros, Donald Plausse, William Forbes, and George Ferris. The catching duties will be well cared for by Carey, a great all-round player. Howard Edwards will handle a position in either the infield or outfield. Francis Chiros will hold down second base, leaving first base wide open for any young hopeful. The leading candidate for first base, however, is Verne Porter. Tom Kelley will take good care of third base. Don Plausse and George Ferris, who saw a little action last year, will probably be seen in the outfield and infield respectively. The success of the season lies in the pitching power of Lefty Forbes, Lloyd Plausse, and Leon Hedricks. From an analysis of this year's prospects, it is safe to say that Whitman High School will be well represented on the diamond this spring. GYM EXHIBITION The annual gym exhibition, one of the main events of the year, finished up the indoor athletic season. Many fine prizes were donated by the town merchants to lend interest to the competition. Coach Etelman and Miss Pollard can well be proud of the fine exhibition they producedg they deserve unlimited praise. The boys, prizes were won by Francis Chiros. James Conway, Verne Porter, Norman LeGallee. and William Sweeney. f gQ -A. . 7'- V fx'A'A'A'A'A' VQVQVQVQVQ v.v.v.v.v.v,v ovovovovovovovovovov V v v v CLASS STATISTICS AQAQAQAQAQ A'A'A'A'A'A' v v v v v V, A'A.A'A'A'A.A'A.A'A.A9A'A.A'A.A'A'A',x'A'A' .Yunic Niclfnrrmc Clzzrracferistics fl nzbifion Gift Roberta-Xdams Bobby Flirtatious Film Mary Angus Secretive Hairdresser Wave-Set John Averell Tiny Bustling Aviation College Saw Alice Avery Sedate Regis College Book on Diets Alma Baker Almie Polite Bridgewater Normal Perfume Kathleen Barry Kay Boyish Tray Waitress Richard Barry Dick Nature Lover Exploration Department of Badge National Geographic Gordon Beal Conscientious Electrical College Printing Set Adele Bearce Dees Winsome College Heels Beatrice Beary Bea Aloof Bandana Thomas Beland Bib Indefatigible A-1 Accountant Gavel Katherine Blakeman Kay Talkative Nurse Phonograph Needle Donald Browne Brownie Genial Bookkeeper in large store in Mid-West Newspaper Bag Edna Bureau Shorty Diminutive Book on Film Developing Rita Bureau Re Industrious Dressmaker Attendance Slip Geraldine Burnett Gerry Yivacious Hairdresser Stationery Thomas Burnett Tommy Jolly Dolls Army Officer Jean Cambridge Jen Proper Apron Fred Carey Freddie Moderate Dog James Carey Jim Artistic Car Priscilla Chapman Patsy Studious Executive Secretarial Position Typewriter Ribbon Vernon Churchill Friendly Salesman Slip for 116 Eleanor Clark Bunny Demonstrative Tennis Ball Betty Cloutier Secluded Nurse Nurse's Cap Marion Colby Observant Riding Instructor Rolling Pin June Cole Flighty Actress Laughing Gas William Conlon Bill Unassuming Gas Pumps Lucy Conway Irish Argumentative Make Gowns on 5th Avenue Can of Spaghetti Carleton Corliss Carl Dressy Tweezers Grace Correa Gracie Easy-going Hairdresser Pattern Evelyn Coulter Evie Willing Buyer for Clothing Store C0nsumer's Guide Doris Cummings Chatty Sewing Instructor Charcoal Ruth Danforth Danny Sweet Stenographer Fruit Margaret Deehan Marg Active Nurs-e Trumpet Parky Deminico Meek Curler Mary DiMestico Willowy Model Water Wings John Donahue Jiggs Habitually Late hockey Player Cheerio Howard Edwards Diddie Dependable Electrical Engineer Baseball Mary English Amiable Medical Secretary Appointment Book Fred Fahrenholt Frank Newspaper Work Time William Forbes Lefty Mischievous Bing Helen M.
