May the accomplishments, the things we learned, and memories of these past four years remain with us throughout the years to come. Students today-Leaders tomorrow is the appropriate theme of the yearbook this year. As graduates, many of the Class of 1945 are destined to become leaders of our country in these war-torn years and in the postwar years to come. Therefore, we believe that the theme portrays our truest ideals for the future.

Reynolds as a sincere token of our gratitude for her unfailing help and guidance. We can only try to express our most heart-felt apprecia- tion for all she has done as our class adviser throughout our four years. Her commercial classes, especially, will remem- ber her patience and tolerance, and all of us will remember her cheerful and able assistance in all our class activities. Although we are now leaving Whitman High School, in the future years we will always remember her as an adviser who did her utmost to make our class a success. lIQ.9-7Q'X,nki.9u 62+ inixguau-snub..-n-1--1 it aww rl wk YEARBOOK STAFF Third Row: fleft to rightl William Curby, Clifton Strathern, Edward Kirby, Harry Terzian.

Students all we are today In Whitman High. We leaders of tomorrow are Who through future years will strive To apply your teachings so that peace- That peace may thrive. When we've Won the battle fierce And calm presides, When we've conquered all our fears And hope abides, We then will think of Whitman With all its memories dear And praise the power sustaining us Throughout the years.

Like lost sheep, we spent much of our time the first few days in exploring the intriguing rooms and hallways. Gradually, we became accustomed to our new home and began to take a small part in its activities. Football season found our boys vigorously learning the many intricate tricks of the game under the able leader- ship of Mr. Joe Canavan. The boys worked very hard that year, and even a few of our own classmates made the varsity squad. On December 7, 1941, there took place an event which was to change the lives of all of us. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, we all realized that many of our classmates would be called to defend the privileges and rights which we have been taught to respect. More seriously than ever we turned to our tasks. Many school activities claimed our immediate attention. Basketball season found our class eagerly striving to beat the upper classmen. This was followed by the last of the gym exhibitions to be held during our four years. Sev- eral of our classmates took an active part. During the year, some of our classmates we1'e elected as members of the Student Council. Also many drives were held, and we were pleased to see the good response which our classmates gave to these drives. By June of 1942, we felt that we were ready to go on to our Sophomore year. Time marched along fast, and before we knew it, the summer was over and we were once more returning to Whitman High. Our footing on our new soil was now much firmer, and we were ready to take on many new responsibilities. The class gathered together and chose Clyde MacKenzie, Edna Taylor, Bob Landers, and Betty Harper as our officers. This year many more of our boys came forth to play the great American game of football. The girls also organized their basketball team under the able instruction of Miss Tate. Then came our great social event for which we had all been waiting. Amidst beautiful winter decorations, the Snow Carnival was presented on the night of January 15, 1943. We were all thrilled with the success of our first social affair. Spring brought baseball under Mr. Leavitt. The season proved to be very successful, with the team winning eight games and losing only two. Many of you may wonder just what thought was given to our many friends and classmates who had entered the Service. As a token of appreciation to those who had left us to defend their country, on Memorial Day we assisted in the dedication of the Honor Roll. It stands as a worthy tribute to those who, since Pearl Harbor, have left to serve this nation. At last came a day which we had long waited for. When we received our cards promoting us to Juniors, I am sure that we all grew two or three inches, as we felt very proud that we were now upper classmen. In September of 1943, when we returned to school were, we are sorry to say, gaps in our ranks- there some due to failures and others to those who had left to serve in the Armed Forces. Early in October, we elected as our class officers, Harry Terzian, Betty Harper, Bill Curby and Edna Taylor. Coach Leavitt soon began looking around for football prospects. Almost eve1'y afternoon, the team could be seen on the field practicing. On November 19, amidst the silver stars and Santa Clauses, the Junior Dance was held. The blue and white drapes cast a dreamy glow over the gym as the couples danced. After several years without a varsity basketball team, the A. A. this year organized one. At the close of a good season, we ente1'ed the annual basketball tournament, where we beat Middleboro. During the year, the school worked very hard to sell bonds and stamps. We, as Juniors, also did our part in helping to keep the t1'easury flag flying and in the Jeep Drive, with the Junior homeroom of 213 leading the entire school in the amount of sales. At last came our greatest social affair of the season, the Junior Prom, which took place on May 12. Many of you may remember the setting for this dance. The gym was transformed into a ship with beautiful nautical trimmings. In these surroundings, dancing to the music of Don Leach's orchestra was enjoyed. Our talent in decorating was further shown in those beautiful decorations at graduation last year. Those, also, were the work of Juniors. We are sure that the Seniors wouldn't have been able to graduate if it hadn't been for our help. Again the summer passed very quickly, and we found ourselves Seniors in the fall of 1944. The class met and chose as able leaders: Harry Terzian, Betty Harper, Edna Taylor, and Clifton Strathern. This year for the first time our Senior boys were allowed to continue their shop work. One of the projects was the building of a boat. After the boat was finished, it was discovered that it was impossible to remove the boat from the basement. We had to admit, though, our aims were for bigger things. The A. A. held the annual membership drive just before the football season, and as Seniors, we immediately res- ponded to the pleas. Under the leadership of Rosen and Bailey, the foot- ball season opened in the fall with Dan Leavitt in the coaching seat. The team was rewarded by the large num- ber of spectators who cheered them on.

After the dinner and speeches, the awards were distributed amidst much hand clapping and many congratulations. This was followed by some excellent sport films and later by dancing. Early in the year we chose our class rings which were to be material remembrance of our four years at Whit- man High. Previously on October 20, we had held our first dance of the season. Many students enjoyed dancing beneath the harvest moon and amidst the cornstalks and pumpkins. In December, we were all sorry to lose to another school, our class adviser. We wish to express our apprecia- tion to Mr. Magnuson for his unfailing help and guidance during our four years at this school. We will always remember him as one who has done his utmost to help us. There is one teacher who, we are sure, will be none too sorry to see us leave. Mr. Kelly will be able to relax from fear of our classmates blowing up the chemistry lab. It has been tried many times this year but without too much success. We know Mr. Kelly will breath much easier when we have departed. When basketball season came around, shout and cries could be heard from the gym, as our teams came forth to play. These games proved very exciting with close scores. In the course of the year, our Student Council, which included many of our classmates, handled the govern- ment of the school with exceptional efficiency. The Spotlight staff has worked very hard all year to edit the many issues of our newspaper, The Red and Black Spotlight. Approximately 150 copies of the issues of this magazine are being sent to our former classmates and friends who are now in the Service. Remember the Nut Family ? Anyone who saw the Senior Class Play could hardly forget them. The dramatic talents of our classmates were certainly brought forth in this performance under the expert coaching of Mrs. Avery. We are sure that, if it hadn't been for the travel restrictions, our friends would now be Hollywood bound. Early in March, a drive was put on to raise money for another Honor Roll. Our list of service boys and girls had grown so large that it had become necessary for us to purchase this second Honor Roll. Also in Ma1'ch, our Yea1'book staff was chosen to pre- pare the annual yearbook. Much work has gone into the making of this book, but we are sure that when we pick it up in the years to come, we will be able to recall to our memory vividly the experiences of our four years at Whitman High. In April, 105 was announced as the top contributor to the sales of War Bonds and Stamps, with a total of 318,000 This was certainly the greatest contribution to this drive. Early in the spring we chose as our Class Flower the Carnation and Maroon and Silver as our Class Colors. We chose as our Motto, Students Today, Leaders Tomor- row to guide us in our future lives. On Friday, April 13, 1945, the students of the school met in the assembly hall to pay their last respects to our late President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His death was indeed a serious blow to the nation. The Dramatic Club, which we had not had last year, was again organized under the able guidance of Miss Tinker and Miss Brega. In May, two very amusing plays, Elmer and the Lovebug and A Mad Breakfast were given by the members of the club. Class Day exercises were held on June 9, with many of our classmates participating in helping to make that day one which would of '45. June 15 marked the hard. Graduation was special thought to our in the Service or who long be remembered by the Class day for which we had long worked a very solemn exercise, as we gave many classmates who were already soon would be. On June 18, we gathered together as a class for the last time to bid our friends goodbye at our Senior Recep- tion. A touch of sadness was added to this event, when we realized that it was our parting. With a glint of a tear, we said goodbye to our friends and stepped forward, proud to start new adventures on new highways- Students Today, Leaders Tomorrow. 17 STUDENT COUNCIL Third Row: lleft to rightl Hazel Weeden, Allen Marshall, Albert Gregory, Toivo Maki, Frances Deehan Lorraine Murm f , ihy.

Burton Rosen Mr. Kelly, a new member of the board this year, proved to be of great assistance in the work of the Council. A committee of Ruth Terzian and George Bay- ley was organized to supervise the sale of war 18 stamps and bonds in the school. Stamps were sold three days a week, and, in several rooms, 100'i of the pupils bought stamps regularly. In October the school entered a contest to buy an Amphibian Duck, costing 258275, by December 7, 1944. The quota was oversubscribed, as the sales amounted to 3S21,791.30. A second Service Memorial Plaque was pur- chased by the Council for the additional names of all those from the school who had joined the Armed Forces since December 7, 1941. The usual projects, including the Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis Drives, were successfully con- ducted by the Council.

It is Ardelle Blanchard, continuing her practice of public speaking. Women are now filling all kinds of positions formerly occupied by men. Because of her previous experi- ence, Ardelle has taken over the place of the tobacco auctioneer on the Lucky Strike program. While she is broadcasting, a door opens in the rear, and I see, seated at a massive mahogany desk surrounded by Oriental rugs, Elmer Drake, who is now president of the Yankee network. By all the spectacular advertisements in his office, it is evident that he has to his credit the patent for the Drake Collapsible Pipe invention, a device which will help young high school students to conceal any pipes that they might use and wish to keep hidden from questioning teachers and parents. To my surprise, Betty Harper, Elmer's efficient secretary, walks in, ready to take dicta- tion. The program is about to begin. The music for the Hit Parade is being played by none other than Bob Godbout, whose theme song is still One Meatballf' One of the top tunes to be sung on this program is the new version of They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me, written by John Coffelt, who is now a song writer of renown, having taken the place of Irving Berlin. This number is to be sung by the well-known radio singer, Grace Wenz. At the close of this program, it will be announced that Ned Kirby is to be the guest star for the next program. Because of Ned's natural wit and wide store of original ideas, he regularly appears on the Truth or Consequences program as successor to Ralph Edwards. The guest artist for this program is Laura Thompson, successor to Mr. Anthony, on the famous Good Will Hour. The announcer is to be Edna Taylor, who is Laura's personal secretary and adviser. I see an entirely different scene, which takes us half-way around the world. Now I see the beauti- ful Hawaiian Islands. As the scene moves closer, I see a photographer surrounded by a group of lovely Hula Hula girls, who are dreamily strum- ming on guitars. Upon closer observation, I see that the photographer is none other than James DaSilva, better known as J. D., whose hobby is taking pictures. Moving down the beach in front of the Royal Garden Hotel, I notice handsome Al Gregory, a swimming instructor, with his arms around two fashionable young ladies, Janice New- hall and Barbara Merrow, who are co-owners of a swanky beauty salon which is connected with the hotel. They are talking to Ruth Basler and Muriel Corbett, artists, who are on their way to have dinner at the famous Waikiki Restaurant owned and operated by Meredith Peterson and her hus- band. This restaurant is highly recommended by Rita Pierce, authority on eating places all over the world. As I gaze through the window of the salon, I see Edith D'Arpino, who is employed as a hairdresser here. She has just finished arranging the coiffure of Senator Natalie Pierce from Massa- chusetts, who has made herself famous for the new Pierce's EASY TO UNDERSTAND INCOME TAX BILL. Waiting for their appointments are Jeanette Sproul, famous cartoonist for Walt Dis- ney, and Irene DiMestico, airline hostess, who have just arrived for a short stay on the island. The Slenderizing Salon connected with this shop is under the management of Barbara McGuane. Two guests coming from the hotel are Marion Braddock and Beverly Mansfield, famous opera stars for the Metropolitan Opera Company. They are accompanied by their secretary, Margaret Wirzburger. They stop to talk with Ruth Howland. who has the responsible position of Assistant Manager of the hotel. At one end of the patio are two exquisite shops-one is the Petite Americana Shop, owned by Frances Deehan and Marian Shorten. Both girls are happily married to Marine officers, stationed here in Hawaii. Their shop has been beautifully decorated by Patricia Mac- Eachron, who also designs many of the dresses. Their outstanding model, Gloria Stowers, is about to enter the shop. The Ruth Irish Candy Specialty Shoppe, managed by Marie Donahue, is the other shop in this patio. There is another cloud of smoke that arises, and the green foliage of the African jungle is revealed to me. Here, amidst a village composed entirely of men, I find the Woman Haters' Club 19 T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 5 QJ0fDQ!0ZZWfDQJ0Z1GNQ'k9GNNkDGN0kDQ!0fDQJ0fD'QJ0fDQr0Z3WkDQ!0E of America. I am surprised to find two more classmates, Bob Landers, better known as Bogie, and Dick Brennan, better known as Key, taking refuge here. Having completely lost their faith in the fairer sex, they have decided that this would be the best place for them. Near the village, the Congo River wends its way. As I look closer, I notice a small craft coming along: it is the ex- ploring party under the direction of Fred Chur- chill and Stuart Stetson, recently employed by Barnum and Bailey to search for big game. Qff in the distance is a well-constructed modern air- field designed by Dick Tibbets, at which a heli- copter landing. The pilot is Alfred Colarusso. Bill Curby, one of the passengers to alight, is a noted scientist and is president of the American is heie to do research Mahogany Company. He work. Another passenger is the famous entomol- who is searching for biology department at ogist. Clifton Strathern, rare speciments for his Harvard University. The next scene seems to be far away from the jungle and is back in the metropolis of New York. The scene is in the interior of the Empire State Building. It is the famous McGrail Soda Foun- tain and Sandwich Bar where Dotty serves her famous Super Deluxe Delicacies. True to the Mc- Grail fashion, she is rushing from behind the counter to greet familiar customers. She is now talking with Captain Arvid Nelson of the Mer- chant Marine. Seated at a table is George Bayley. famous organist and director of music at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. George is look- ing over a program which is to be presented at an exclusive girls' school nearby where Angeline Bagnulo is the director. Seated at another table is Rose Fulginiti, famous music critic for the New York fI'inz.c.s. Quite a bit of excitement takes place as a newsboy enters announcing, Extra! Extra! Read all about the Accident! Everyone is shocked to learn that it is a collision of two rival buses owned and operated by Earle Torrey and Howard Finegan. The victims are rushed to the new Roosevelt Hospital, where they are treated by Doctor Littlehale, famous surgeon, and his staff of efficient nurses, among whom are Dorothy Orcutt, Barbara Chandler, Alice Hutchinson, and Marjorie Waters. The account of the accident will be written by Jane Sweeney, star reporter for the Trzfbzmc,' and after reading of the accident, Dorothy turns to the page in the Tribune called, Advice to the Lovelorn, written by Connie Tay- lor. Another section which she always reads is Legal Advice, written by Attorney Claire Trep- tow, who, because of a previous experience she has had, can give all kinds of counsel. Now we come to a familiar scene back in the City of Whitman, Massachusetts. Coming out of the High School, laden with books and papers, are Bertha Orcutt, now instructor of Latin, and Vir- ginia Dyer, who is secretary to the superintendent rf schools. I next see the beautiful home of former Lorraine Murphy. She is comfortably relaxing in a big easy chair. watching the Burbine Special, a modern invention which does all her housework for her. From her chair, she presses a button which operates a television set. The first scene is an exciting football game between the Chicago Bears, coached by Wimpy Rosen, and the Bos- ton Pole Cats. coached by Harry Terzian. A spec- tacular plav has just been made by the star play- ers of the Boston team, Pajl Blanchard, and Rus- sell Cross. The crowds are cheering, and the pho- tcgraphers are busy taking pictures of the play. Among the prominent spectators shown in the picture are Fred Saftler, national tennis champ- ion, and Captain Clyde MacKenzie, a member of the faculty of Annapolis. Two other spectators at this game are Lieut. Shirley Chapman of the Women's Army Corps, who has just returned from foreign service in India, and Blanche Daigle, Well- known entertainer at Naval Hospitals. Beverly Sears, who has the honor of being the secretary to Van Johnson. is also eagerly watching the game. Another observer at this game is Donald Chapman, noted authority and judge of prize- winning live stock and poultry. The scene is interrupted by the ringing of the front doorbell, and shortly afterward, two lead- ing socialites of Whitman, the former Dorothy Robinson and Marjorie Braley, accompanied by their children, enter. Both women are running for public office and are out campaigning for votes. Their campaigns are under the manage- ment of Mayor Leslie Milne, who has been very successful in politics. The tire burns low, the smoke drifts away, the vision vanishes, and the book of the future of the Class of 1945 is closed.

The Three Nuts Robert Landers, Richard Brennan, John Coffelt Barbara Chandler On February 15, the Senior Class presented its annual play in the Assembly Hall before a large audience. The cast enjoyed working under the skillful guidance of Mrs. Avery, their coach, and Edna Taylor, their faithful prompter. The scene is laid in Crestdale, a summer home in the mountains, which belongs to Miss Helene Shelton, who, supposedly, is taking a trip to South Ame1'ica. Miss Bea XVise has been assigned the task of selling the house, and, to see if they would want to buy it, has allowed the Nutt family to live there for one week. However, complications arise when patients of Dr. See, former doctor at Crestdale, which was previously a sanitarium, start arriving. The mad rush is really on when Larry. who has fallen in love with Ima, is claimed by Lila Stuart as her husband.

TO WHOMEVER IT MAY CONCERN: We, the members of the Senior Class of the Whitman High School, of the Town of Whitman, of the County of Plymouth, in this great Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, and realizing that the time has come for us to pass from this institution of learning which has endeared itself to each and all of us, do make, publish, and declare this, our last will and testa- ment, in manner and form as follows: To Mr. Bayley, our principal during four of our happiest and never-to-be-forgotten years, we leave our sincerest and deepest gratitude for his never-ceasing aid. To Miss Allen, a notebook for all the unusual and time-worn excuses she gets. To our sometimes exasperated teachers, the following good wishes: To Mrs. Lapworth: the hope that she won't have the continuous talkers we have been.

Red and Black Spoflzghf The Red and Black Spotlight is the High School's tie that binds our ex-members to us. This little paper has successfully carried on for its second successive year, thanks to donations of news and postage money from the entire school. So far this year, four issues have been gotten out, and they have been sincerely appreciated by the fellows in the Service. judging from the many App1fecz'az'z'0n letters of thanks which the staff has received for its efforts. The staff ably reports upon anything and everything about school life which they feel would be of interest. Few changes have been made in the form of the paper, and the original plan for the first year's issues is still being followed. fo Aa'v01'fz's01's OOO Since it is impossible to thank individually all the persons who have helped to make our year- book a success, the Class of 1945 and the Yearbook Staff welcome this opportunity to thank all the merchants of the towns of Whitman, Hanson, and Halifax for their hearty co-operation in making this book possible.

This Council has as its staff the regular officers- president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and also representatives from the three upper classes. An annual election is held by the members of the Athletic Association, at which time the repre- sentatives and faculty advisers are elected. The faculty advisers for this past year were Mrs. Mc- Council Innes and Mr. Lane. The Council was headed by Paul Blanchard, president, Lorraine Murphy, vice-presidentg Betty Harper, secretaryg and Stuart Stetson, treasurer. Clyde MacKenzie was the senior representative: Bert Brine, the junior representative: and Paul Clifford, the sophomore representative. Throughout the year, the Council has effectively put over all its drives and has been very co-opera- tive. vp. Yearbook Adoismfs The Senior Class of 1945 wishes to thank our yearbook advisers, Mrs. Avery and Mr. Smith. for their expert guidance and assistance, with- out Which this publication would have been im- possible. Everytime We look at our yearbook, we will remember how much they both helped to make it the splendid success it is. 31 .................

The task of drilling these boys was under- taken by our coach, Daniel Leavitt, who received much help from Earl Pierce, former coach of the Whitman Town Team. After a period of drilling, the squad went to meet its first opponent, Bridgewater. This was a heart-breaker, since, after a hard-fought battle, we lost by a score of 7-O. Our next game was with Stoughton at Stough- ton. As the game went on, it became an even match. At one time, Stoughton was on our three- yard line but failed to score because of our strong defense. Co-captains Rosen and Bailey led the line defense with excellent support from Bren- nan, Coffelt, Landers, McCarthy, and Cross. Then Stoughton took the offensive and started into our territory. At this point, Terzian intercepted a pass and pressed into Stoughton territory. Then Greg- ory smashed through the lines, bringing the ball into a scoring position. MacKenzie then ran the ball over for the first touchdown of the season and kicked the extra point. No score was made from there on. Our next game was rather one-sided, as we lost to Coyle High by a score of 51-0. The boys just couldn't get started. Whitman's next game was with Plymouth. Whitman showed fine ball playing, but Plymouth got off a long pass which won the game for them by a score of 7-0. The game in which Whitman gave a fine per- formance was against Rockland. This game found the line setting up an impassible barrier to the Rockland players. Rosen and Coffelt tore through the lines to pin them for losses several times. Paul Blanchard, the team's best passer, made some beautiful passes to Brennan and Cross, the star ends. Whitman took the Rockland lads for a ride with a score of 13-0. Luck seemed to stay with the Whitman team when we tackled Attleboro High. Gregory and Danforth led the Whitman ground attack, with Blanchard tossing some fine passes to Cross and Brennan. Terzian established several good gains through the large holes opened by Bailey, Rosen, Landers, and Coffelt. Bailey added to the game with several beautiful punts to carry us deep into Attleboro territory. A play from Rosen to Gregory to Blanchard gave Whitman another score. The game ended with the Whitman team on top with a score of 19-0. A surprising upset came to Whitman when Hingham took them for a game, winning 7-O. Hingham High scored by a touchback when a 34 kick by Whitman was blocked, and the ball rolled in back of the goal line. The Whitman team ex- hibited fine ball playing but failed to score. The final game of the season was with our old rival, Abington High. Both teams did well, but Abington scored some lucky runs and passes which won them the game, 33-0. To round up the football season, the Senior Class staged a banquet for the football squad, the coach, and invited guests. Special thanks were given to Earl Pierce for helping coach the team. Outstanding players on the squad were Co- captains Bucky Rosen, right guard, and Hank Bailey, left tackle, Brennan and Cross, endsg Johnny Coffelt at left guard, Landers and Giberti, centers: Blanchard, Gregory, Terzian, and Danforth, backs.

Somehow or other, the team just couldn't get on the elusive road to victory. The season started with a game against Coyle. The boys from Coyle proved to be a little too strong for us and won both games with scores of 58-9 and 24-48 respectively. We lost six games in a row to Coyle, Rockland, Stetson, Middleboro, Stetson, and Abington. A startling upset to basketball fans came when Whitman took a victory over Plymouth High. The game progressed quite evenly, with Whit- man leading by a very few points. Rosen and Gregory were at their best that night and sank some beautiful baskets from almost half-floor. The Plymouth boys gave us a real fright when they scored four points at the very end of the game to make them 26 to our 24. Things looked hope- less, and there were only a few minutes left to play, but with the aid of some excellent passing, Terzian dropped in the final baskets, which pulled the team on top, and gave us a winning score of 28 to their 26. The last two games we played were with East Bridgewater, where we won both games. The East Bridgewater boys fought valiantly, but faileo to win.

Coach Leavitt is grooming the Junior and Senior boys into a well co-ordinated team. Something new is being done this year in baseball, and that is the forming of a Freshman-Sophomore ball club. This will give the younger boys a chance to play and learn more about the game. This kind of plan should provide some fine players for the future. An outstanding freshman is young McClellan who, so far, looks good in the pitcher's box. Boys out for the squad are Harrington, catcherg Cross, Blanchard, and Stetson, pitchersg Rosen and Gardiner, Hrst base, Shea and Laubinger, second base, Nutter and Terzian, shortstop, Brine, third base, Holbrook, MacKenzie, and Braddock, outtielders. Time allowed only two games to be played be- fore we went to press, and these games were with East Bridgewater and Stetson High. In the East Bridgewater-Whitman game, both teams were fairly green, but Whitman proved to be too strong for its opponents, and we won the game 17-1. Starting Lineup Harrington .............

C eiifer Field Holbrook ............. Left Field Blanchard .......... Right Field The varsity baseball squad travelled next to meet a fairly strong Stetson High nine. In the second inning, we made three runs, while they didn't score. Russell Cross started out in the pitcher's box, with Red Harrington catching. The infield was peppy in this game, and gave two double plays by Terzian and Nutter and some fancy catching by Rosen. MacKenzie picked out a couple of fly balls which seemed almost impossible to catch. With the competent pitching of Russ Cross and Dick Stetson, the other team didn't score any runs. We took Stetson High by a score of 6-0, with another victory being added to the list. We have started out quite successfully with two victories, but how the rest of the season will turn out, we cannot tell at this point. Baseball Schedule GIRLS ' A THLE TI CS The girls at Whitman High School went all out for sports this year, either because of a re- newed loyalty to the school, or the inspiration of the capable coach, Miss Dorothy Johnson, or even a keen desire to express their enthusiasm for work through play. From the starting point with Speedball, until they crossed the 'dnish line with Softball, the girls were in there playing the game. SPEEDBALL The season began with Speedball. Early in the fall, teams were formed and captains chosen. The girls gathered on the athletic field two days a week for the games and really enjoyed this vigorous outdoor sport. 35 April 24 East Bridgewater April 27 Middleboro May 1 Stetson May 4 Plymouth May 8 Abington May 11 Bridgewater May 15 Rockland May 18 Plymouth May 22 Bridgewater May 25 Abington May 29 East Bridgewater June 1 Rockland June 5 Middleboro June 8 Stetson BASKETBALL With the snappy, frosty weather of Nox embei. came the urge to get into the gym for an exciting game of basketball. Fifty girls scrambled out onto the floor for the intramural games, and five teams were chosen, with the series being won by team 3. Before long, the girls were keyed up to play Varsity Basketball. Of the fifty girls who went out for the intramural games, twenty were chosen for the Varsity teams. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, Miss Johnson put her girls through strenuous and thorough practice to build up teams strong enough T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 5 G51vk.Df?N4'xfJffNA'Sc9C'N4kxDff3oSDGNofkDGNok.9G'Nk9k9GNofm9-QJWfT5OJ0fDGNGYk9 to tackle the difficult schedule ahead of them. Avon 16 12 It was not long, however, before Coach John- Stetson 19 19 son spotted the gi1'ls whom she thought would Rockland 17 31 carry the torch and bring through a winning Avon 26 19 team for the school. Ruth Basler was chosen to captain the iiist team: Marilyn Hinchey was to lead the second team: and Barbara Merrow was voted in as manager for both teams. At last the teams were off for a victorious season. Whitman's tirst game on the schedule was with Sumner High at Holbrook, and the girls really showed teamwork and skill as they came across with a 34-33 win. That was a game that really kept the fans on their toesl As time passed and the last games of the season were being played, the girls grew a bit dejected and sombre, knowing that some of them would never again be pait of the team that waited eageily on the floor for the starting whistle-the signal to go in and iight their hardest and give their all. The schedule was limited to fewer games than usual this year because of transportation diffi- culties. The games and scores were as follows: O 11 po iz c n fs TVh'llfiIZl1ll Holbrook 33 34 Rockland 22 18 Stetson 16 19 After the Seniors won the series of class games, the season came to a close with the awarding of major W's to the following girls: Ruth Basler, Barbara Merrow, Dorothy Eidler, Shirley Holmes, Gloria Loud, Virginia Gray, Doris Aubert. BADMINTON Badminton was very popular this year with thirty-six girls, who formed eighteen couples, to compete with each other. This game was more or less relaxing after the strenuous season of Basketballg but, nevertheless, those who won the tournament had to play a hard and fast game to eliminate their opponents. SOFTBALL It was near the end of a happy and successful year of sports when the warm, spring air at- tracted the girls again to the athletic field. There they took positions and began to warm up for the annual Softball tournaments. The games are now well under wayg but because this publication went to press before the season had finished, we regret we cannot give a complete record of spring sports.
