As classahistorians, it is our duty to record the happenings of our high school career. Since it will be impossible to go into detail in the short space that we have, we will try to point out the most interesting and important events to recall them to your minds. Our first recollections are of ourselves as be- wildered freshmen trying to become accustomed to the new experiences of high school life. Many of us had a difficult time in wandering through the building hunting for our various classrooms and after about ten minutes of a particular period discovering that we were in the wrong class. But perhaps we had rather not be reminded of those days now that we have become dignified UD seniors. However, it wasn't long before we became ac- customed to high school and set forth on our first of four years of study and social activities at Whitman High. Our aim at this time was to be sophomores. This aim most of us were able to fulfill. In September, 1938, we returned to school and found that Miss Collins and Mr. McCormick had been chosen as our class advisers. We elected our first group of class officers. They were Verne Porter, presidentg Marilyn Hagstrom, vice-presi- dentg James Conway, treasurer, and Irene Ahearn, secretary. Several members of our class started to take part in extra-curricula activities, but, although this took much time in the afternoon of those participating, we still continued to have a great number on the honor roll. It soon came time for us to make our first attempt at proving whether or not we were cap- able of sponsoring social activities. Our first social event was the Sophomore Hop held on January 27, 1939, which was a great success both socially and financially. When the report for the dance was posted we found that we had made a profit which we have not been able to equal since. This successful attempt gave us a good beginning and gave us confidence to go ahead with our other social events. At the end of this year three valuable members of our faculty left-Miss Joyce and Mr. Rogers for other positions and Mr. McCormick because of ill health. They were greatly missed but their places have been filled by others who have become equally popular and helpful to us. After spending a delightful summer vacation of working, swimming, traveling, and other activ- ities, we returned to our work with new enthusi- asm and zeal for our next two years as upper classmen. We settled down immediately and elected new officers to act for us during this year of harder studying and more social activity. We elected an entirely new slate of officers with the exception of Verne Porter, who remained our president. Victoria Sylvestri was elected vice- presidentg John O'Donnell, treasurerg and Marilyn Meserve, secretary. Mr. Aldrich replaced Mr. McCormick and along with Miss Collins acted as our class advisers. They deserve our sincere gratitude for the time and eH'ort they have spent for us during our remain- ing years at Whitman High. This year we were eligible to join the Dramatic and Literary Clubs. Many took advantage of this privilege and continued as members through their Senior year. Some were already on their way to becoming experienced photographers from their membership in the Photography Club with Mr. McKey. Extra activities held a. major part in our school program, therefore much time was spent after school for that purpose. But our interest in social activities and the various clubs did not give us cause to neglect our studies, as was shown by the fact that a long list of names from our class continued to appear on the honor roll. In this year you will recall that a member of our class, Frances Harrington, won second prize in the Ellen Conway Spellman Essay Contest. Other members of our class have shown their ambition and talent along other lines. During this year several participated in the different assemblies as they had in other years. Others T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 1 3fVk9GX0kDGN9k930kDGNQ'k91GN6'k9GN0kD30k91CM'QQ-Mk9CWkDbAWkDCMk9 have won prizes in the gym exhibition. They were Mary Joy, Jimmy Conway, Verne Mattson, and Norman LeGallee. During the year we sponsored the Junior Dance which was held on November 17, 1939, and was appropriately decorated with footballs and other equipment common to this time of year. Do you remember how every one of our guests enjoyed himself, in spite of the fact that the boys on the football team had to leave at ten o'clock to keep in training? Several committees set to work in May to make plans for the Junior Prom, our first formal affair. The theme of Pinnocchio brought forth something new in decorations and attracted a great many dancers who were given novelty favors. This affair was another example of our ability to make a success of whatever we undertook. Shortly afterwards those who were called upon were ready to help the senior class to prepare for their graduation and Class Day exercises, proving that we were always willing to help others to make their affairs successful. After a vacation, which is always appreciated by every one, we came back to our last year at Whitman High. We had our class meeting and after the ballots were counted we found that Norman LeGallee became our new presidentg Eleanor Reed, vice-presidentg Donald Plausse, treasurerg and Marilyn Hagstrom, secretary. With these new officers to represent us in our activities, we began to make plans for gaining money for the expenses of graduation. Our two senior dances were a source of profit for that pur- pose. Every member of our class had by now given some of his time and effort toward helping the class achieve its goal. Many of us still smile when we recall the play, She's a Good Fellow, which was presented by an excellent cast from the senior class on the evening of December 13, at the Town Hall. The members of this cast had to rehearse three or four afternoons for several weeks in order to make this play the success that it was. We of the class greatly appreciated their efforts. A week later at the Football Banquet several boys from our class received sweaters for their good work in playing on the football team. Some were on the team for as many as three or four years. These boys were Captain Donald Plausse, Manager Vernon Blanchard, Bob Corthell, Lloyd Plasse, John O'Donnell, and Bob Goodwin. We had been thinking seriously of our voca- tions and using to good advantage the work done by the guidance program which has been growing more and more extensive. This year each of us was given the opportunity of a personal interview to discuss our plans for the future and be given advice. The news that Mr. Patterson was going to leave us to take a higher position as principal in a Dighton school was received with deep regret, although we were happy of the opportunity which he had received. Mr. Lane has ably taken over his duties as vocational councilor and has secured for our benefit several speakers on various vocations. Some time later in the year an assembly was held for the senior class to nominate three girls, one of whom would be decided upon to represent Whitman High School for the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage trip to Boston. This girl was to be nominated on the basis of character, patriotism, and service to the school. Those nominated were Marilyn Hagstrom, Eleanor Reed, and Frances Harrington. After a difficult time in making a selection, the faculty finally picked Marilyn Hag- strom as our representative. All year our thoughts have been of graduation. In March the graduation and Class Day parts were assigned to the highest ranking students and work on these parts was started. They comprise a sec- tion of the yearbook and have been included in this Class Day program. We have endeavored to present a record of the outstanding features of our high school career. In closing our hopes are that the future will hold in store for us as much pleasure and friendly co- operation as we have been so fortunate to receive during the past four years.

Meetings were held on the second Monday of each month. At several of these meetings vari- ous book reports were given. At one meeting the club presented an interesting program for the Reading Club of the Whitman Woman's Club 25 when an original drama entitled Out of the Fog was given. On February 13, the annual tea for the Student Council and the Faculty of the school took place. The program consisted of a short play, the his- tory of a book, and readings. After the program, the guests were served refreshments. On March 10, the club held an informal quiz for its mem- bers. The winners were presented with different types of candy. The following monthly meetings were spent having reviews of modern books and moving pictures. The annual outing took place in June. If A ORCHESTRA First Row: left to rizhtl Nancy Wright.

Q Q Qx'A' A'A'A',x'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A 'A'1Q By Mz1rz'el Hagstrom and Paul Baker Being duly appointed by the class, we, the prophets, after much deliberation, research, and imagination, designed and built a time machine, which has enabled us to foresee the future of each member of the Senior Class of 1941. Our first vision takes the form of a large air- port, the John O'Donnell Airways, Inc. At Gate No. 1, a huge air liner prepares for flight 6. Pilots Edward Foster and Burton Drake are seated at the controls awaiting passengers. Hostess Vic- toria Sylvestri, wearing 9-inch heels to meet height requirements, greets Eldon Lonergan, a wealthy yachtsman, who frequently takes a jaunt around the world. Just before the take-off, Charles Tufankjian, now a salesman for a chew- ing gum concern, hurries aboard. Traffic control manager, Robert Jenness, gives the go ahead signal and the plane takes off with a roar. Our attention is suddenly drawn to a strange creation being pushed from one of the hangars by me- chanics Amos Brine and George Hoffman and supposedly by Charles Lemieux, but he is riding on the tail fast asleep. Aeronautical Engineer, William Moffatt, who is the plane's designer, in- tends it to reach a speed of 560 m. p. h. and a landing speed of 45 m. p. h. Reporter Gladys Tamkun and photographer Hope Ridley, both of the Daily Advertiser, arrive to inspect this meteor-like plane, but they return to their news- paper office empty-handed, for the converted model T engine on the plane refuses to operate, thereby cancelling the flight. At the newspaper office, our man about town Charles MacDonald is engaged in a loud verbal controversy with Norman LeGallee, for LeGallee has made a pointed remark about MacDonald in his Daily Gos- sip column. At one side, Claire Mann, seemingly little disturbed by the confusion, gleefully con- tinues writing the obituaries. Thomas Crowley, Editor-in-chief, sends Dorothy Chetwynd to in- vestigate the disturbance at the beauty shop owned by Lorraine Plasse, Sylvia Barry, and Gladys Daigle. These girls call themselves the three B's, for one has blonde hair, one black, and the other, brown. They wanted Constance Huddleston, with her flaming red hair as another part owner, but Connie was set on being a dietitian. All the excitement was started while Eleanor Reed was being beautified for an ap- proaching exhibition of ball room dancing. The water pipes have burst, spraying water all over the shop. This difficulty is soon checked by the timely arrival of plump plumber, Thomas Bur- bine. In his thrashing about, Tom accidentally put his foot into an electrical hair dryerg but Verne Mattson and Wallace Sayce happen along to aid in extricating him. These two lads are on shore leave from their ship, the S. S. Washington, commanded by William Brennan. Tom's foot is not badly burned, but he welcomes the attention of nurse Althea Bates. The dryer, however, was badly damaged and Electrical Engineer, Warren MacLaughlin, makes repairs. Across the street, is a rival shop owned by Barbara Thomas, Dorothy Staples, and Alma Pina. These girls are kept busy by the visits of a strictly private customer- none other than Leo Sangiolo. Leo is in the U. S. Navy, but on his days ashore, he frequents the beauty parlor. He has a marcel and all, trying to keep pace with the natural wavy hair of ship- mate, George Ferris. We now follow reporter Chetwynd back to the newspaper office, just in time to hear the news story of the day. The annual spring floods have inundated the river valleys and made hundreds of people homeless, including cattle raiser, Samuel Miller and poultryman, Thomas Kelliher. It seems that these two were so surprised by the flood crest that they had to ride the waters on the back of Miller's prize bull, Dandylion. After a long tiresome ride of many miles, Miller and Kelliher were rescued by Coast Guardsmen Stanley Randall and Donald Dunbar, while Dwight Porter easily took care of Dandylion. Although the two ad- venturers suffered no ill effects, they are resting comfortably under the care of nurses Margaret Conners and Jeannette Eno. The announcement of scientists George Kelley and Vincent Bubieniec about their new methods of flood control is natur- ally of great interest to victims of the flood dis- aster. In connection with a new dam designed by Paul Baker, they hope to generate enough elec- tricity with part of the water's flow to decompose the flood waters by electrolysis. Kelley points out T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 1 GNASYQD GWQVXDGNASYXS GNQKDGNQKD'-GNQKSGNQKD GNOKD-Q-GNQKDQAWQKD GKQKDQYNNKD Ca-YQKD that the gaseous products of this electrolysis may be recombined over drought areas to produce rain. News of the adventure of Miller and Kelliher has travelled fast and the Brown Book Publishing Co. secures a contract from them giving Evelyn Brown, publisher, exclusive story rights. Evelyn assigns stenographers Helen Kane and Helen Sex- ton to take the co-authors' dictation for the book to be entitled Adrift in a Flood or Two Men On a Cow. With so much work on hand, Evelyn is forced to keep her staff on their toes, for Frances Harrington has just arrived to receive the proofs on her new book entitled Theory and Practice of Democratic Government. Evelyn breaks up the conversational huddle of cashier Frances Brochu, receptionist Gloria Taboroni, and telephone operator, Mildred Chaney: she, however, disregards the noise made by Edith Record at- tempting to show Eleanor Marceau how a com- plicated bookkeeping machine operates. Strangely enough, both girls come out one thousand dollars and six cents wrong every time. Then too, be- cause of the fact that Donald Plausse made a fiying tackle upon a prospect who declined his fine offer, Maurice Schindler is hired in his place upon promising to forget football technique while at work. At the street side window, are secretaries Glenn Perkins, Marion Randall, Margaret Hynes, and Ruth Berman, all of whom are intently watch- ing the building across the street. They are soon joined by Ruth Orcutt, the company's authority on English grammar. Our first impression is that they are watching Walter Morgan wash windows on the twelfth story, but actually, they are watching the pro- gress of the style show across the street. Here, a large gathering of women, urged to attendance by Lillian King's successful house-to-house cam- paign is watching the style show sponsored by Claire O'Neil and Mary Hayward. Ultra-modern fashions designed by Muriel Welsh and Shirley Staples are beautifully turned out by seamstresses Mabel Douty and Ruby Martell and are being modeled by Mary Hogg, Patricia Royce, and Mari- lyn Meserve to the great admiration of the spec- tators. Flowers worn by the models come from the extensive green houses of Warren Linn, who has made orchids the flower for everyone. At the conclusion of the show, refreshments supervised by Ruth Cobbett and Frances Torrey, experts in dietetics, are served while entertainment is pro- vided by singer Hazel Jonesg guitar player, Phyllis Sampsong and violinist, Dorothy Nash. Mary Keveney was also scheduled to sing, but she pre- ferred to attend the National Hockey League game at the Boston Gardens. Moving pictures of the entire affair are taken by expert photog- raphers Pauline Lincoln and Ilean Chisholm. These will later be published as a technicolor movie by Robert Corthell. As the style show is drawing to a close, we hear the strains of a band approaching toward us. Soon a colorful parade announcing the eve- ning performance of the Coggan and Cross 5-ring Circus comes into view. The band closely re- sembles the W. H. S. band of 1941 as Adeline Gaudette struts at the head, whirling her baton expertly. The other musicians whom we recog- nize are Freda Archibald and Jacqueline Gaudette, playing even better than in their high school days. Directly behind the band, are wagons draped with huge posters which are easily recognized as the excellent work of commercial artist Leroy Weldon and his able staff of Ada Bodycote, Mafalda Petrino, and Eva Miller. These posters portray huge wild animals captured by Kenneth Packard, the second Frank Buck. These signs succeed to lure us to follow the crowd to the circus and we soon find ourselves crowding under a tent flap into the big-top. At first we are dismayed to see lion tamer Vernon Blanchard bitten by his most vicious lion, but Vernon hardly minds the pain when nurse Irene Ahearn appears to care for his wounds. Ringmaster Jimmy Conway proclaims the powers of the invisible mirror, which he claims is the reason for two identical-looking girls on bicycles who are riding around the ring. How- ever, we're not fooled as easily as that, for we readily see that it is not a mirror, but really two girls, the Hagstrom twins. Gloria Lahey is rid- ing bare back around a ring followed by clown Albert Horan, who is attempting, with little suc- cess, to mimic her on a donkey. In the tent top, trapeze artists Pauline Beauregard and Lloyd Plasse thrill the assembly with their daring leaps through space, while as a grand finale, profes- sional diver Mary Joy dives from a 150-foot ladder into a pool of flames. With the burst of flame from this dive, our time machine suddenly goes blank and we return to the present.

To these friendships we hold so dear. But now we must turn from these carefree days But now that this moment at last has come, Before us new tasks unfold We will part with a sad goodbye We will strive to uphold all the standards high To the happiest days that we ever knew- As we firmly seek our goal.

Student Council In September the Student Council organized for the year with the following officers: President, John O'Donnellg Vice-President, Frances Harring- tong Secretary, Eleanor Bearceg Treasurer, Bur- ton Drake, who later resigned and was replaced by Francis O'Rourkeg Executive Board members, Josephine Burns and Paul Baker. The constitu- tion was revised. The racks for bicycles which were begun the preceding spring were completed and installed, greatly improving the appearance of the grounds at the rear of the building. Friday afternoon dancing classes were con- ducted for the fourth successive year with many students taking advantage of instruction for a small fee. In April a dance was held to pay for printing Handbooks for Freshmen which are to be dis- tributed next year. Mimeographed booklets of rules were given to Freshmen this year. The extra-curricular limitations program was drawn up and will be put into effect next year. This will make possible a better distribution of offices and activities over a larger number of students. The Red Cross drive netted 3542.15 and the In- fantile Paralysis drive netted 34315. Girls from the Council also solicited in the factories for the Kiwanis Club Milk Fund. A committee was organized to help gather material for the vocational guidance program. At Christmas time a tree was erected in the Assembly Hall where gifts for needy children were placed. Carol singing was conducted in the EWU' The Student Council is ably advised by Miss Kenealy and Mr. Albrecht. DRAMATIC CLUB First Row: Cleft to right! Roy Littlehale, Claire O'Neil. Patricia Royce.

Dramatic Club The Senior-Junior Dramatic Club of 1940-41 had a very successful season. Meetings were held throughout the year, and play-selecting commit- tees, property and make-up committees were ap- pointed for the various club events. At the first social of the year two one-act plays were ably presented by several of the club's tal- ented members. Later, one play entitled The Wedding Present was presented at an assembly for the benefit of the entire student body. On May 2, three one-act plays entitled: A Happy Journey, Kidnapping Betty, and Singapore Spider were presented in an evening performance open to the public. Miss Tinker and Miss Wood served as advisers for the club, and are to be commended for their coaching of the plays. At the end of the year pins were presented to the members. The officers for this year were: President, Mary Keveneyg Vice-President, Mary Carey, Sec- retary, Glenn Perkins, Treasurer, Mabel Douty.

Photography Club The Photography Club of Whitman High School, consisting of 30 sophomores, juniors, and seniors, met in September 1940, and elected officers as follows: Robert Wales, President: Hugh Cox, Treasurer, Evelyn Brown, Vice-Presi- dent: Pauline Lincoln, Secretary. Mr. Gordon W. McKey of the faculty is its capable adviser. For the payment of dues of ten cents per month the members have the privilege of using dark room equipment for developing, printing, and en- larging their own photographs. Much of this equipment is generously lent by Mr. McKey. This year, however, the club has bought its own en- larger from the proceeds of afternoon dances and monthly dues. Meetings are held twice a month, for the execu- tion of club business and also for the purpose of instruction by the adviser. On the afternoon of March 6, the W. H. S. club entertained the Photography Club of Cohasset High School with an exhibition of their work and equipment. Another event first tried this year was an exhibition in the Public Library during the week of March 17. In May when night school was in session, the annual exhibit was held in the assembly hall. The club has done a great deal of fine work this year and has greatly increased individual knowledge of photography. LITERARY CLUB First Row: Cleft to right! Victoria Silvestri. Freda Archibald.

Besides the four regular officers, presi- dent, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary, there are representatives of the three upper classes, all of whom are elected annually by the members of the Athletic Association at the end of the school year. A faculty adviser is also chosen by the members at the same time. This year Miss Kenealy was the faculty adviser. Mr. Magnuson, because of his duties with the athletic department, is also included in the group. The duties of the council are to co-operate with the coaches in the selection of the members of athletic teams who are eligible for letters. It also selects the managers for the teams and carries out all business of the Athletic Association. ,.l..,. Yearbook Advzsers To our yearbook advisers.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY SHE'S A GOOD FELLOW On Wednesday evening, December 14, 1940, the Senior Class presented the annual play to one of the largest and most appreciative audiences ever to attend a performance of its kind. The play en- titled She's a Good Fellow was coached by Miss King of the English Department, and Claire O'Neil served as prompter throughout the many weeks of rehearsal. One screamingly funny situation followed an- other in the play as the leading man, Leo Lane, impersonated Leola Larkin, an Irish cook, in order to be near the girl he loved. But Leo was by no means the main feature. One of the funniest comedy parts in years was that of Miss Prudence Pepper, an old maid with matrimonial designs on 39 Mr. Gardner, a widower with three attractive daughters. The efforts of these three daughters to prevent a match between Miss Pepper and their father produced gales of laughter from the audience. The cast of characters was as follows: Leo Lane ............... Leroy Weldon Corinne Tyler .... .... M arilyn Meserve Rose Gardner .... .... F reda Archibald Ivy Gardner ......... Victoria Sylvestri Violet Gardner .......... Gloria Lahey Wright Gilmore ......... Albert Horan Mrs. Beulah Tyler ....... Glenn Perkins Theodore Tyler ..... Charles MacDonald Carl Gardner .........

The first game carried out the above definition when, after nine first downs for Whitman to Mansfield High's one, Whitman was beaten 20-0 in the sec- ond half. The second game with Bridgewater was a con- tinuation of the Mansfield second half, the score reading Bridgewater 27-Whitman 0. By now, W. H. S. fans began to wonder where the team of the first half of the Mansfield game had gone, when along came the Hingham game with the score reading Whitman 13-Hingham 6. The Whitman forward wall completely outplayed the Hingham line, Whitman's first score coming with seconds to go for the first half and the sec- ond score coming early in the fourth quarter. The only Hingham score came late in the fourth quar- ter on a long pass. The next game was the Milton game with the score reading Milton 27-Whitman 7, with Milton pushing across their scores on long runs. Plymouth invaded Whitman territory next, taking the home team with the score reading Plymouth 13-Whitman 0. Both Plymouth scores came in the first half. The next game sent the Whitman fans home talking to themselves. It was highlighted by the return of Francis Gyper Chiros, who made three spectacular pass interceptions, and a field goal by Captain Don Plausse which gave Whit- man the margin of victory with a 3 - 0 score. The line undoubtedly played its best game of the year with Bob Brennan and Bill Brennan turning in their finest end performances of the year and Bob Corthell and Lou Plasse repeatedly slashing into the enemy's defense and offense. The Coyle eleven came to Whitman the next Saturday to put Whitman's Jekyll and Hyde team on short end of a 12-7 game. Whitman opened the game with a seventy-yard march for a score, only to have Coyle come back with two touchdowns in the second quarter. After a postponement due to snow, the big green of Abington sent the Whitman eleven home to dinner on the zero side of a 27 - 0 score. BASEBALL With only eighteen candidates turning out for the varsity baseball and only three lettermen, George Ferris, Francis Gyper Chiros, and Don Plausse, left, the W. H. S. baseball team will have to work hard to keep up with the teams of the two preceding years. As this article goes to press, the baseball season has just begun so that we cannot say anything about the baseball season GYM EXHIBITION The Gym Exhibition has come and gone with the same success it has always enjoyed. All seats were sold out a day before the exhibition went on, and no one in the crowd was disappointed in the performance. The prizes were awarded as fol- lows: First prize, Francis Gyper Chirosg Sec- ond prize, James Conwayg Third prize, Verne Matt- son: Fourth prize, William Sweeney: Fifth prize, Paul Plasse. of 1941.

The 1940-41 season began early in October when seventy girls indicated their desire to par- ticipate in speedball. The final game in this sport was played in the middle of November when Sweet Briar emerged victorious over B. C. in the play-off. At this time, the intramural basketball season was ushered in. Approximately 117 candidates met in the gym and organized the following teams and captains: Sweet Briar ........... Shirley Staples Columbia ...... .... M uriel Hagstrom Notre Dame .... ..... P auline Brine Colby ....... ........ M abel Douty Carleton .... .... M arilyn Hagstrom Boston College ........ Annie Gianunzio Michigan ...... .... P riscilla Thomas Jackson ................ Eunice Brine Wheaton ............ Gloria Tabaroni The usual procedure of the Round Robin Tournament was again followed, and Sweet Briar, the winning team, was presented with silver bas- ketballs purchased with money contributed by each intramural player. Immediately following the termination of the intramural schedule, class team games for the championship were played. Captains of the class teams were as follows: Freshman team .......... Gloria Ferris Sophomore team ...... Annie Gianunzio Junior team ......... Norma Bradshaw Senior team ........ Marilyn Hagstrom T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 1 In the first games, the Sophomores easily Gloria Fei-1-is M21-gar-et Daverm01't topped the Freshmen, but only after a hard battle gigs rilgiiml Eiggggtfggganattl did the Seniors finally emerge victorious over the Marlolloo Brarlrloolr Glorla Har.r.loa.roo JUIIIOFS. Geraldine Shebeck Marjorie Holland - N - 4 Annie Rudolph Florence Davenport As a result of then victory over the Sopho- Dororllr, Brltralo Jaoo Holoroolr mores in the play-off, the Senior team was pre- sented with the silver loving cup--the boast of each year's championship team. Much to the delight of varsity prospects, the first call for such candidates was issued early in December. 'Approximately 65 girls promptly answered this summons, but in order that the team could be handled more effectively, the squad was reduced to 26 in number. The entire squad then consisted of the following players: Co-captains: Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom Gertrude Croke Adelaide Tirrell Marie Ruel J-eanette Eno Dorothy Brittain Margaret Davenport Madeline Braddock Frances Sprague Helen Cunningham Priscilla Thomas Pauline Churchill Mary Carey Mary Joy Constance Huddleston Eleanor Bearce Beatrice Barry Norma Bradshaw Mabel Douty Elizabeth Saganetti Eunice Drake Annie Gianunzio Rita Murray Florence Davenport Manager: Assistant Manager: Dorothy Staples Jane Holbrook As was the case last year and the year before, Middleboro was again scheduled for our first game, January 8. The starters in this game and in most of those throughout the season were: Co-captains, Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom and Mary Joy, as forwards: Constance Huddleston, Eleanor Bearce, and Beatrice Barry, as guards. The season's schedule and results of the games were as follows: Whitman 20 .... .... M iddleboro 26 Whitman 30 .... .... O liver Ames 20 Whitman 18 .... .... A ttleboro 16 Whitman 13 .... .... R ockland 18 Whitman 35 .... .... S tetson 29 Whitman 21 .... .... R ockland 10 Whitman 19 .... .... M iddleboro 22 Whitman 35 .... .... S tetson 28 Whitman 34 .......... Oliver Ames 8 15 ..........Attleboro7 Whitman As may be concluded from the above account, of the ten games scheduled, seven were victories, thus making a pretty fair record for a high school team. The following girls received their numerals for playing one-half the periods of class games: 35 Eunice Drake Seniors receiving their English W's for four years' participation on the class team were: Muriel Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Marilyn Hagstrom, Constance Huddleston, and Gloria Tabaroni. Girls receiving their Varsity Letter Award for playing at least 20 quarters during the season were as follows: Co-captains Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Constance Huddleston, Eleanor Bearce, Beatrice Barry, and Norma Bradshaw. With these various presentations made, the 1940-41 season of girls' basketball came to a close. March 21 was set as the date for the Thir- teenth Annual Gym Exhibition, and as usual, it was a tremendous success, due in no small degree to the efforts of Miss Pollard and Coach Etelman. Mrs. Ethel Bearce of Whitman, E. Marion Roberts, Director of Athletics in Brockton, and Miss Helen Gilman, of the Brockton High School faculty, again served in the capacity of judges, assisted by Donald Plausse, Mary Keveney, and Patricia Royce. The girls performed on the apparatus immedi- ately following the wand drill by the boys, which opened the program. After intermission the girls participated in mimetics and a ball drill. Tumbling by both the boys and girls closed the program. A victory trophy was given to the best girl gymnast in place of the cup given last yearg the second prize was the Kiwanis cup, and the third, fourth, and fifth prizes were medals. After a Hne performance, Mary Joy was pre- sented the victory trophy. The second prize was awarded to Dorothy Pennini, Sophomore: third prize, Kathleen Watson, Juniorg fourth prize, Annie Gianunzio, Sophomore: and the fifth prize, Evelyn Corliss, Junior. Miss Pollard and Coach Etelman received tokens of appreciation from members of both teams. The band, ushers, and pianists also re- ceived recognition for their help in making the evening successful. A few weeks following the exhibition, spring sports including softball, tennis, and badminton began with about 175 girls taking part. Before concluding this report, I feel justified in stating that every girl who participated in ath- letics is truly grateful for the many opportunities afforded her during her four years of high school.

The first game carried out the above definition when, after nine first downs for Whitman to Mansfield High's one, Whitman was beaten 20-0 in the sec- ond half. The second game with Bridgewater was a con- tinuation of the Mansfield second half, the score reading Bridgewater 27-Whitman 0. By now, W. H. S. fans began to wonder where the team of the first half of the Mansfield game had gone, when along came the Hingham game with the score reading Whitman 13-Hingham 6. The Whitman forward wall completely outplayed the Hingham line, Whitman's first score coming with seconds to go for the first half and the sec- ond score coming early in the fourth quarter. The only Hingham score came late in the fourth quar- ter on a long pass. The next game was the Milton game with the score reading Milton 27-Whitman 7, with Milton pushing across their scores on long runs. Plymouth invaded Whitman territory next, taking the home team with the score reading Plymouth 13-Whitman 0. Both Plymouth scores came in the first half. The next game sent the Whitman fans home talking to themselves. It was highlighted by the return of Francis Gyper Chiros, who made three spectacular pass interceptions, and a field goal by Captain Don Plausse which gave Whit- man the margin of victory with a 3 - 0 score. The line undoubtedly played its best game of the year with Bob Brennan and Bill Brennan turning in their finest end performances of the year and Bob Corthell and Lou Plasse repeatedly slashing into the enemy's defense and offense. The Coyle eleven came to Whitman the next Saturday to put Whitman's Jekyll and Hyde team on short end of a 12-7 game. Whitman opened the game with a seventy-yard march for a score, only to have Coyle come back with two touchdowns in the second quarter. After a postponement due to snow, the big green of Abington sent the Whitman eleven home to dinner on the zero side of a 27 - 0 score. BASEBALL With only eighteen candidates turning out for the varsity baseball and only three lettermen, George Ferris, Francis Gyper Chiros, and Don Plausse, left, the W. H. S. baseball team will have to work hard to keep up with the teams of the two preceding years. As this article goes to press, the baseball season has just begun so that we cannot say anything about the baseball season GYM EXHIBITION The Gym Exhibition has come and gone with the same success it has always enjoyed. All seats were sold out a day before the exhibition went on, and no one in the crowd was disappointed in the performance. The prizes were awarded as fol- lows: First prize, Francis Gyper Chirosg Sec- ond prize, James Conwayg Third prize, Verne Matt- son: Fourth prize, William Sweeney: Fifth prize, Paul Plasse. of 1941.

The 1940-41 season began early in October when seventy girls indicated their desire to par- ticipate in speedball. The final game in this sport was played in the middle of November when Sweet Briar emerged victorious over B. C. in the play-off. At this time, the intramural basketball season was ushered in. Approximately 117 candidates met in the gym and organized the following teams and captains: Sweet Briar ........... Shirley Staples Columbia ..... . . .Muriel Hagstrom Notre Dame .... ...... P auline Brine Colby ........ ......... M abel Douty Carleton .... .... M arilyn Hagstrom Boston College ........ Annie Gianunzio . . . .Priscilla Thomas Michigan ....... Jackson ................ Eunice Brine Wheaton ............ Gloria Tabaroni The usual procedure of the Round Robin Tournament was again followed, and Sweet Briar, the winning team, was presented with silver bas- ketballs purchased with money contributed by each intramural player. Immediately following the termination of the intramural schedule, class team games for the championship were played. Captains of the class teams were as follows: Freshman team .......... Gloria Ferris Sophomore team ...... Annie Gianunzio Junior team ......... Norma Bradshaw Senior team ........ Marilyn Hagstrom T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 1 In the first games, the Sophomores easily Gloria Fei-1-is Margaret DavffHD01'f topped the Freshmen, but only after a hard battle 331116 Sue! . gfullge Elm? .

Annie Rudolph Florence Davenport As a iesult of then xictoiy oyei the Sopho- Dorothy Brittain Jane Holbrook mores in the play-off, the Senior team was pre- sented with the silver loving cup-the boast of each year's championship team. Much to the delight of varsity prospects, the first call for such candidates was issued early in December. 'Approximately 65 girls promptly answered this summons, but in order that the team could be handled more effectively, the squad was reduced to 26 in number. The entire squad then consisted of the following players: Co-captains: Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom Gert1'ude Croke Adelaide Tirrell Marie Ruel J-eanette Eno Dorothy Brittain Margaret Davenport Madeline Braddock Frances Sprague Helen Cunningham Priscilla Thomas Pauline Churchill Mary Carey Mary Joy Constance Huddleston Eleanor Bearce Beatrice Barry Norma Bradshaw Mabel Douty Elizabeth Saganetti Eunice Drake Annie Gianunzio Rita Murray Florence Davenport Manager: Assistant Manager: Dorothy Staples Jane Holbrook As was the case last year and the year before, Middleboro was again scheduled for our first game, January 8. The starters in this game and in most of those throughout the season were: Co-captains, Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom and Mary Joy, as forwards, Constance Huddleston, Eleanor Bearce, and Beatrice Barry, as guards. The season's schedule and results of the games were as follows: Whitman 20 .... . . .Middleboro 26 Whitman 30 .... ...Oliver Ames 20 Whitman 18 .... .. .Attleboro 16 Whitman 13 .... . . .Rockland 18 Whitman 35 .... .. .Stetson 29 Whitman 21 .... .. .Rockland 10 Whitman 19 .... ...Middleboro 22 Whitman 35 .... . . .Stetson 28 Whitman 34 .......... Oliver Ames 8 15 ..........Attleboro 7 Whitman As may be concluded from the above account, of the ten games scheduled, seven were victories, thus making a pretty fair record for a high school team. The following girls received their numerals for playing one-half the periods of class games: Eunice Drake Seniors receiving their English W's for four years' participation on the class team were: Muriel Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Marilyn Hagstrom, Constance Huddleston, and Gloria Tabaroni. Girls receiving their Varsity Letter Award for playing at least 20 quarters during the season were as follows: Co-captains Muriel and Marilyn Hagstrom, Mary Joy, Constance Huddleston, Eleanor Bearce, Beatrice Barry, and Norma Bradshaw. With these various presentations made, the 1940-41 season of girls' basketball came to a close. March 21 was set as the date for the Thir- teenth Annual Gym Exhibition, and as usual, it was a tremendous success, due in no small degree to the efforts of Miss Pollard and Coach Etelman. Mrs. Ethel Bearce of Whitman, E. Marion Roberts, Director of Athletics in Brockton, and Miss Helen Gilman, of the Brockton High School faculty, again served in the capacity of judges, assisted by Donald Plausse, Mary Keveney, and Patricia Royce. The girls performed on the apparatus immedi- ately following the wand drill by the boys, which opened the program. After intermission the girls participated in mimetics and a ball drill. Tumbling by both the boys and girls closed the program. A victory trophy was given to the best girl gymnast in place of the cup given last year: the second prize was the Kiwanis cup, and the third, fourth, and fifth prizes were medals. After a fine performance, Mary Joy was pre- sented the victorytrophy. The second prize was awarded to Dorothy Pennini, Sophomore: third prize, Kathleen Watson, Junior, fourth prize, Annie Gianunzio, Sophomore: and the fifth prize, Evelyn Corliss, Junior. Miss Pollard and Coach Etelman received tokens of appreciation from members of both teams. The band, ushers, and pianists also re- ceived recognition for their help in making the evening successful. A few weeks following the exhibition, spring sports including softball, tennis, and badminton began with about 175 girls taking part. Before concluding this report, I feel justified in stating that every girl who participated in ath- letics is truly grateful for the many opportunities afforded her during her four years of high school.
