And for the best we all will try With hopes up in the sky And so-goodbye, Whitman High, goodbye Now we are leaving you, You know that we've been true. The mention of your name Will bring us back again. Our minds will hear the echoes dear Sounds that we alone will know, And each one will be A memory to me Of days that we have spent with you. Our loyal hearts won't forget We owe to you a debt, As we go out in the world today. As we go our separate way, There soon will come a day When all the things we've learned Will show we'Ve been concerned With work and play and many a trial Future tasks will seem worth while. We won't forget the source Which helped us set our course. We'll dream of you where'er we go And when we meet again with you Our friendship we'll renew, But just for now, we bid you adieu. 17 .- ..- . - ..- . , .A . . -rss.- oi4rL4vx0QoQ-vi4uiatLav ..- .. -J v.rink04:.0k4. -mini Q 41 5 if 1 l l l 1? 1? 1? 1? ll 1? l 1? l 1?

We attended high school during the height of the war, and our junior year saw the beginning of a new peace. Dick: We did our part in the war effort, too. Every month there was a race among the home rooms to see which room would be a hundred per cent in the sale of stamps and bonds first. I think we made a very creditable record. Faye: Then there was the campaign to raise money for a jeep. We got the jeep, all right, and had some money left over. It was during that cam- paign that Ruth Terzian sold over twelve thousand dollars worth of bonds and stamps to local busi- nessmen. Dz'clf: However, all this was done by the school as a whole, except for Ruth's effort. As a class, we sponsored five dances during our four years at Whitman High School. Will you tell the king about them, Faye ? Faye: Surely. Our first dance was in January of our Sophomore year. We called it Melody Lane, and had sheet music and musical notes for decorations. In our Junior year, The Turkey Trot was first on our social calendar. It came around Thanksgiving and we used that holiday as the theme of our dance. Dick: The Junior Prom was the big dance of the year, though. We called it f'The Stardust Ball and really worked hard to make it a success. It was, too, because we made more money than any other class had previously made at one dance. Faye: We had two dances in our Senior year, too. The first was The Hallowe'en Dance, near the end of October. The other came in April, and I think we'll always remember it for two things. First, it was our last high school danceg and sec- ond, the decorations were really beautiful. Dick: Yes, there were loads of flowers ar- ranged on trellises all around the walls. The effect was something like a, flower garden. The other big affair we sponsored as a class was the Senior Class Play. It was called A Date With Judy and proved the dramatic talent of some of our classmates. Faye: I'll never forget the characters.

I think that's all. That was the play to end all plays, all right. Faye: You know, Mrs. Lapworth told me some- thing funny in connection with the play later. It seems that when the girls were sorting out candy in the typing room on the afternoon before the play, they found a few squashed pieces, so they put eight or ten pieces in a napkin and sold each nap- kinful for ten cents to anybody who happened to come along. When that money was added in with the profit, the total profit was one cent more than the total profits of last year's senior class play. And our royalty was fifteen dollars more. Dick: Well, no wonder we made such a good profit. Marie Tobin and Marian Perkins sold candy for 15c instead of 10c, which was the correct amount. Faye: Yes, we were a really business-like class, all right. Dick: Well, we had our fun, too. I'll never forget that incident in Room 204. Faye: Why, what was that? Dick: Well, it seems that at half past twelve there was an epidemic of sneezing. Faye: Oh, I remember, Doris Aubert had some sneezing powder, and she blew some in the air. No one could stop sneezing and laughing. Dick: Mr. Lane didn't guess who did it and Doris didn't speak upg but she nearly split a rib laughing. Did you ever have Mr. Kelly in any class? Faye: No. Why? Dick: Well, he was always strict and serious in his physics class and his chemistry class. No one let a peep out, and we were scared stiff to look out the windows. T H E Y E A R B O O K 1 9 4 7 Faye: I remember him. I think if he had ever smiled, it would have hurt his face somehow. Dick: Boy, I'll never forget one day in chemis- try when someone turned on all the water faucets and nearly flooded the school. Faye: Gee, that must have been exciting. Weren't we devils? Dick: That was nothing, though. Paul Clif- ford and Bob Baker started a real commotion. In the experiment, the analysis of baking powder, they left the powder heating and did it smell! Faye: What happened? Dick: Everyone rushed to the window for air, including Mr. Pratt. fPause then chucklej Faye: What's so funny? Dick: Something I just remembered. In gym class, every time a boy forgot a towel, he asked the coach if he could borrow one, and the coach usually gave him one. . I don't see the humor in that. Dick: Well, every time a boy borrowed a towel, a dime dropped into the pocket of Coach Malin- owski! Faye: Faye: Oh, I wonder what became of all that money. Dick: I think he used it for the Polish Relief or to buy licorice! You know John White? Faye: Sure, why? Dick: Wasn't he a lot of trouble to the teach- ers? I can remember what a cut-up he was in French Class. Miss Brega almost had-a nervous break-down several times. Faye: I'll bet she did. Remember that scientif- ic assembly we had? Dick: Yes, I think so. Faye: Well, you know when that cannon was fired, the corkstopper landed right in my lap. Did I jump! Dick: Why? Were you scared? It couldn't hurt you. You girls are all alike. Faye: I'll pass that by this time. To get back to our history, the boys' football team beat Abing- ton at the Thanksgiving game in our senior year, which made the first time in a long time. Dick: Personally, I think their losses were the fault of the Legion Field. If they had had a better field, they could have won a lot of games. Faye: Although they didn't do well in basket- ball, either, the girls upheld the school's honor in that game. They won a large percentage of their games. Dick: Not to change the subject any, but I'll bet that you can't name the senior class officers. Faye: How much will you give me? Dick: I'll give you five silver dollars for each correct name. Faye: Well, for that I'll name the class officers for all three years. In our sophomore year the offi- cers were Toivo Maki, presidentg Doris Aubert, vice-president: Anne McLaughlin, secretary: and Robert Baker, treasurer. They were the same in the junior year with the exception of treasurer, who changed to Forrest Nutter in that year. Our senior class officers were Paul Clifford, presidentg Doris Aubert, vice-presidentg Anne McLaughlin, secretary: and Forrest Nutter, treasurer. Dick: Give the lady sixty silver dollars and an Old Nick candy bar! lRomar hands above mentioned articles to Fayel. Faye: I guess I'll never forget those wonder- ful years at Whitman High School, will you? Dick: No, I won't either. And the more that I think, the more I know I'll remember. For in- stance, Allen Martenson made up some funny poetry about David Mann in English. Some of those rhymes were the work of a genius. I'll bet you girls will never forget that two boys got top honors in scholastic rating. Toivo Maki and Robert Baker got the essay parts in the graduation pro- gram. Faye: Well, we'll forgive Toivo and Bob be- cause they're such nice boys. Remember the base- ball games near the end of the school year, and the lunchroom stampedes, arguments over the monitor systems. Dick: And the football banquet, the teachers and their troubles with the denser students, Miss Allen. Faye: I think she must have worn out the communication system calling us to the office for some misdemeanor. Dick: Well, your Majesty, I guess that winds up our history. Good times and bad, we've had a wonderful time at Whitman High School, and our four years will be among the most memorable ones in our lives. ff I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I LI I I I I I I I I I I I I I Q I I I 1k,.........

Many complaints were brought to the Council, and as a result, the new system was begun. Delegates from our Student Council attended the Southeastern Massachusetts Student Council Conventions held at Plymouth and Rockland. Each delegate brought back with him some new methods of operating the Council and also some ways by which the Council can be a better organization. This year the Council iilled and sent some Ameri- can Junior Red Cross gift boxes to the needy and homeless children of the war-torn countries. A committee was again appointed to publish a Freshman Handbook for the incoming fresh- man. Many new items were added to make this book a more helpful tool during their first days at Whitman High. The usual projects, such as carol singing, the Red Cross drive, and the Infantile Paralysis drive. were successfully ca1'ried out by the 1946-1947 Student Council.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council enrolled the entire student body this year when the membership drive took place at the beginning of the year. The officers chosen for the '46-'47 season were Paul Clifford, president, Robert Jones, vice-presi- dentg Doris Aubert, secretary, and John Mc- Laughlin, treasurer. Class representatives elected were Donald Botieri, senior, Cameron McClellan, junior, and John Garrigan, sophomore. Mr. Lane was chosen faculty manager. At the football banquet held at the Town Hall, the following members of the football team were awarded major W's: John Brown, George Cully, Wilbur Danner, Harrison Gardiner, Roy Ham- mond, John Hill, William Hogg, Robert Jones, Cameron McClellan, Chester McLeod, Forrest Nut- ter and Wesley Reed. The following boys received major W's for play- ing on the basketball team: Robert Baker, Mana- ger, Paul Clifford, George Cully, Wilbur Danner, Robert Driscoll, Robert Jones, and John Whitey The following members of the girls' basketball team were awarded major W's: Harriet Anderson, Doris Aubert, Grace Buchanan, Virginia Gray, Madeleine Rowe, Mary Sproul, Doreen Washburn, and Ardelle Washburn, Manager. lb . l l l 1- In 1946, before we left classes for our summer vacation, the chief point of interest for all eyes, outside of our studies, of course, was the activity on the new athletic field. This work seemed to be progressing well even though the contractor had to get along without our able assistance. Since this field could not be used, the lower park was used for baseball last year, and when in the fall foot- ball was resumed, the park was again used, except for the small area near the school and outside the fence. Shortly after return to studies in the fall. a new set of dummies was noticed on that part of the field one afternoon. These, I am told, were not the players but the equipment used for blocking and tackling practice. After a winless season in '45, the coach and team were all set to buckle down to the task of finding a winning combination. Following lengthy drill, the team went to Bridgewater, aiming for their first victory. After some hemming and hawing, the fellows finally went to work and turned in a score of 24-6 for the credit side of the ledger. With this victory for our side, the fans at least were wild for a great sea- son. While this was conceded possible, it was pointed out that some tough opposition was still to be faced and no false confidence should be built up. The next Saturday Stoughton handed us a tough 7-20 loss to bear out these statements, but Whit- man was still far from discouraged, even after a heartbreaking 6-12 defeat at the hands of the fast Stetson team. This game was uncertain up to the final minutes, and the team deserved to win-the Whitman team, that is. A strong Plymouth team came to Whitman for our first game at home. The play was good and Plymouth returned home victorious only after a game well fought by both sides. Whitman, 95 Ply- mouth, 14. When Whitman faced St. Mary's of Milford the following weekend, a victory seemed certain and a victory it was, for Whitman. The team as a whole played well and turned back the visitors, 25-0. At Rockland the next Saturday, Whitman again put in a good performance but was unable to salt away the game and suffered defeat to the tune of .A :cis Av A: -ze A: A. sieaief.: A.-sie:1::A,.ni:uio-e::L::A::A --A -:A us- nA --A -'A --A nA -:A QA ad- A A AA A ,. v , -.. -,. .,.- , -, J --Z -5 -2. ve-an ity?-Q.-1-ff Boys ATHLETICS l 7-14. The picture thus far had been Whitman, the victor by a good margin or else the victim of cir- cumstance and the loser by a slight margin. That's thus far, notice. The next week, again a home game, had another attraction. While Attleboro changed the trend for Whitman with a final score of 6-32, the game of the year was played in New York. Notre Dame and the Army fought to a stalemate, 0-0. On the last road trip for the '46 season we went to Hingham, where outside dope had Hingham a big favorite, and inside fWhitmanJ dope had a few surprises in order. Surprises there were, even for some loyal Whitmanites, and the game was well along toward a 7-7 tie when another surprise came along. This time it was a long sleeper pass that put Hingham out in front, after the conver- sion, 14-7, and there the score stayed. After showing what could be done with the will behind you, the team returned to hear the Seniors wax eloquent with a fight talk from the stage. The talks must have taken, for a change, for on Tur- key Day the boys welcomed Abington back to the fold of defeated opponents, 32-0. At the banquet in February, which set a prece- dent, being a town affair, in addition to the usual matters, announcement was made of a new cup for award to the Junior boy tops in both Athletics and Scholarship. The cup will be awarded annually at graduation and will be the property of the recip- ient until the next year's award. Sweaters were awarded at the banquet to Charles Orcutt, senior manager: George Cully, Chester McLeod, Cliff Gardiner, Forrest Nutter, John Brown, Bill Hogg, and Wesley Reed, of our classmates. BASKETBALL The basketball season was a repeat of a too- frequent occurrence at Whitman, a potentially powerful team finding itself uunable to sink those winning points. The trouble was not always in the final minutes, though, but in the failure to get started soon enough. Many of the games were tight all the way through and proved very interesting. Several others proved different. Perhaps these made up for recent defeats in other sports.

The teams were named after various heads, and it seems that some of the names were very accurate. After some good and other not so good basketball the last game found the seniors against the fresh- men for the championship. Here the freshies dis- played their talent and sent the seniors packing. Perhaps the freshmen are really good. BASEBALL Again this year as last year, the schools of the surrounding area are members of the South Shore Baseball League in one of its several divisions. Whitman is in the Eastern Division and will play a home-and-home series with its opponents after two preliminaries with Bridgewater. We stand to have a good team and hope to make even better our last year's record of 9 wins and 3 losses. The schedule will have two games each with the fol- lowing league and division members: Rockland, Abington, Middleboro, Hingham and Plymouth. To date the team has played five games. The two games with Bridgewater and single games with Rockland, Abington and Middleboro have been completed, despite several postponements because of unsuitable weather or damp grounds. In the two contests with Bridgewater, Whitman emerged vic- torious, behind the pitching of Donati and Kimball. Against the league opponents we have won two out of the three games. These were a lop-sided win over Rockland, 21-1, and a no-hit, no-run set-down of Abington, 5-0, by Donati. In the game with lVIiddleboro the tables were turned, and on a slow field Whitman received its first defeat for the '47 season, 5-7. Interest is still high in Whitman, and the future games are being expectantly awaited.

With Miss Pratt as our coach, we enjoyed many exciting games. Then it was time to start indoor sports. On Tuesdays and Thursdays you could surely tell we had started basketball because of the yell- ing and noise that could be heard. The teams con- sisted of the freshmen, captains Sally Goodman and Nancy Irwin, the sophomores, Lorraine King and Mary Sproulg the juniors, Mary Ann Curby and Doreen Washburn, and the seniors. Doris Au- lgert. In all the games played, the juniors were on top as champs. Then varsity basketball came with a few new players. The captain for the first team was Doris Aubert and for the second team, Mary Ann Curby, with Ardelle Washburn as the manager. The record for the girls this year was four wins and six losses. The games we did win were well- earned. The girls tried hard and had a strong will to win. Even though we lost many games, good sports- manship was in every girl's heart. One game that was especially good was the one played at Randolph in St. Mary's Hall.

Randolph fought hard to win and was in the lead all the way. We were all in a happy mood on the way home. This was only one of the good times we shared. The games and scores were as follows: Oppofizents Wlzifnmn Abington 23 22 Avon 20 14 Randolph 32 43 Abington 31 27 Avon 18 15 Hanover 28 15 Randolph 14 33 Rockland 13 20 Rockland 22 16 Hanover 14 28 Now that the spring days are drawing near, the action takes place outdoors. The softball players are anxious to get started. Everyone enjoys playing softball, even with the strikes, fouls, and outs. Teams will be chosen and then they will compete against each other. This sport ends our sports parade until next year when the rest of the girls can again take part. But the seniors are saying farewell to them all.
