Let's move the clock ahead to the year l958. We are going on a rocket plane trip from Boston to Paris by way of Miami and Rio de Janeiro. First we'1l take Billy Burke's deluxe atomic powered taxi to the airport. Porter Stanwood Ford ambles over to carry our luggage but first stops to flirt with the hostesses, Jadine Raynes and Joan Brouseau. Now that the luggage is taken care of,let's have a quick snack at Doris McCrillis's restau- rant, noted for delicious fried clams. As we enter, we see Bob Driscoll repairing the refrig- erating system so that the food purchased from the barons, Loring Ibbitson and won't spoil. Bobby Alden, Now we are all prepared for the trip. We step into a rocket plane designed by Lockheed's Dorene Bosworth, and piloted by John Balonis and B111 Libby. Well, Pratt, fat lady of the circus, and look who's up front. It's Bethel Esther Major, the human skeleton. Right in back of them are those social whirlwlnds, Marie Brine, Shirley Holt, and Beverly Cox. On the other side are Leon Barry, whom many are comparing to Enrico Caruso, and Leon's accompanist, Joan Cunning- ham. And look who's right in front of us. It's Sidney Herman and his secretary, Shirley Ferris. Sid, as you probably know, is a great brain specialist and Is flying South for research, With him are Helen Ford, Betty Crosby, and Lvnthia Hatch,the well-known occupational thera- pists,and Lorraine Simmons, who has caused revolutionary advances in psychiatry. What's happening now? Oh, it's only Bob Abel broadcasting the speeches of the new Pres- ident of the United States, Joe Dahlll,and Vice- President, Bill Buckley. Well, here we are at Miami. ls coming out to repair one of the Frank Corbett rockets, but that's no concern of ours. We're off to see the town. Let's go over to the Red Sox in Sarasota and watch Bobby Jones, and Billy Kimball work out. This the Sox to win five consecutive If some of you want souvenirs we can have our pictures taken by Training camp Cam McClellan trio has led world series. of this trip, the traveling photographers, Bernice Swan and Barbara Barclay. Casey, the winner of the Olympic swimming cham- pionship over there? There are Mary Ann Curby, president of Sargent,and Mary Da Silva, who has succeeded Hedda Hopper as Hollywood gossip columnist. What's this being brought out of the luggage compartment? Why,it's a stowaway--Joel Cushman.I guess that his desire to see the world got the better of him. My, my, what is going on over in that dark corner? It seems that Ann Mahoney is taking a letter while sitting on bank president John Mlller's knee. For goodness sakes, here's Rio already. Why, that looks like Earle Wassmouth over there making a sketch of the airport. As we leave the airport and arrive at our hotel, we hear a big commotion over by the switchboard. We investigate to find it is only maintenance man Bob Marshall bothering those cute operators Idella Purpura and Edna Brown. Let's hurry so we'll be able to get a good table at Peggy Kilroy's famous night club,the El Roi Tan. I hear they have a good floor show, Here's Patti Schindler,the hostess, greeting us, always glad to welcome old friends. This should be an interesting show because the orchestra has celllst,Polly Close and pianist Pete Forrand. I see they are also featuring dancers,Barbara Sca- hill and Pat Condon. Isn't that hook reviewer Ardelle Perkins, over at the corner table? And here come Joe Kenneally and Rosemary Garrigan. These two have won oscars ln Hollywood so many tires that now they have a monopoly on them. Let's go back to the hotel. It's getting late and we have some letters to write. I won- der if there are any public stenographers around. Somebody mentioned Dorothy Horte and Dotty Loud, didn't they? Disaster has struck! Someone has rifled our personal belongings since we have been gone and stolen all our travelers' checks. We had better put detective Manley Robbins on the trail. He'll have the thief in no time. Meanwhile we will go to the bank and get some more money. I can hardly believe 1t.Roy Turner is pres- ident of the bank. Whatfs more, he has a bevy of beautiful girls, Janice Littlehale, Sally Harperg Dorothy Swift, and Phyllis Torrey to serve as bookkeepers and secretaries. Now that we have some money, let's take one of Russell Hatch's After that wefll go to the style show where Natalie Fontaine, Jean Appleford, Ardelle Nash, and Patricia Butterfield will model clothes de- signed b Eleanor Shea The com lete show is c Y ' - P under the direction of Agnes Kieran, the manager sight-seeing buses and tour the waterfront. Wow, that was a close call we just had, wasn't lt? I thought that Ed and Don Green were going to have one of their famous trucks com- pletely demolished when they almost crashed into of Macy's department store. Who are those two fellows we've been seeing all day on the docks? They must be Urban Bell- rose the sin ing beach comber and David Wenz, us. lt's getting late. We better head straight for the airport. That must be Evelyn Thomas, our stewardess, greeting us. I d1dn't know that she S o the millionaire commercial fisherman. I know you'd like to stay, but time for our plane to leave. Let's the hotel and collect our things. lt's nearly go back to was way down here. I wonder who our passengers are this time. There are Margaret Waterman with two stuffed animals from her prize collection, This time our pilot is none other than Kathleen Sullivan. I hope she doesn't fly a plane the same way she drives a car. I see that our hostesses are Ginny Whitman and Coralle Staples, and that looks like B111 McCabe at the radio. Some of our passengers look familiar too. Why, I believe that's Frances Carr, the exchange teacher, who has helped our diplomatic relations with foreign countrlea And isn't that Frances and Doreen Washburn on her way to Paris to try to organize a basketball team good enough to win the Olympics. Look, there're Charlie Tirrell, love story novellsq and that famous Parisian designer,Grace Gardiner. Isn't that Joan Davis over there, the girl who made a fortune from her invention of freckle-remover? I don't see anyone else we know, do you? Gee, these rocket planes are fast. We're at Paris already. Good heavens,what's the matter with the landing gear? It won't come down.We're going to have to pancake. Hold tight,everybody! Oh, oh, someone was hurt. It's Madeline Rowe and Mar orie Duckfleld who were on thelr 'l J 1 A I ' way to meet their fiances. Don't worry,thoughg Nurse Ruth Packard will soon have the situation well in hand. Since we're so tired and thirsty let's go into Phyllis Troy's soda fountain, or,chemist's shop as they are known over here.She has a chain of them all over France. Look who just came in. It's Sylvia Haskell, winner of the 1958 Olympic Skating Championship and Prudence Thetonia, manager of the new Wool- worth store in Paris. Let's walk along the quay on the way to our hotel. Doesn't that good-looking fellow with the brunette out there look familiar? Why 1t's Roy Hammond. What's he trying to do? Oh, don't tell me he's still trying to balance the books of ofovovovovoooooooooooooo o W. H. S. Class of '48? Doesn't his wife look bored? It's getting late. I guess we'll have to go back to the hotel. Who's that ahead of us? It looks like Helen Hayes, the great dramatic actress, and Frances Kane, professor of trigono- metry at the Sorbonne. Do we know that sleek- looking person at the corner table in the dining room? Isn't lt Marjorie Johnson eating French pastry just as fast as she can? Before we leave Paris in the morning for the good old U. S. A.,we will see more of the sights We mustn't forget to see the gigantic construc- tion being carried on by Joe Waters,Dayton Hunt, and Wilbur Danner, who are trying to build up Paris as they did New York. It's been a glorious trip. We have found all our classmates amazingly prosperous. Before we congratulate them, however, we should realize that it was the atmosphere of dear old Whitman High that made them what they are. ooooooooooooooooneooo o fr CLASS WU.. .....,. ., By Helen Hayes, We, the Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Eight of Whitman High School of Plymouth County in the Commonwealth of Mass- achusetts, being of sound mind and body, do on this fifth day of June in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Eight hereby bequeath this--our last will and testament.

Date: Graduation afternoon. J. It looks like Dreams, Inc., is going to have another visitor any minute now. F. Well, we'd better make sure she's asleep be- fore we take her to dreamland. J. Did you bring that stardust with you? F. Yes, I have some. J. Good, we'll sprinkle a little over her.fSpr1n- kle stardust, snow, as nStar Dustn is played.J F. Why don't we try her out on a dream of the past. I hear she used to sleep soundly in class, so she would probably enjoy a history dream. J. What shall we tell her about? F. Let's give her a dream of the things our class did the four years we were in school. J. Good, we'll start with our freshman year. F. Will you ever forget how we felt on that first day of high school in '44? J. I'll never forget! At 8 o'clock on that morn- ing the doors clanged shut,and we were trapped for four long years. F. Yes, and we were greeted by the teachers with the usual joyful remarks about nthe worse class I ever had. J. I thought it was quite amusing the way we pretended to be impressed by the pompous, self- important seniors so we wouldn't hurt their feelings. F. However, we soon settled down. Some of the class took part in sports while others were busy apple-polishing. J. Wasn't that the year that Cameron McClellan shaved his hair? F. Ssh! Don't mention his name or she'll wake up! J. You know, I thought freshman year would never end. It just dragged but June finally came. We were free for the summer, but that seemed to fly. F. Then our sophomore year was a big year. We could elect officers that year. Robert Marshall was President, Sally Harper, Vice-Presidentg Roy Turner, Treasurerg and Jean Appleford,Secretary. And we could join the glee club that year. Re- member the excitement over our first dance in mid-winter of 1946. J. Then came our junior year. Boy, wasn't .that the year though! I'll never forget our first dance that year. Miss Fox helped us with our decorations. We got more money than ever before in the school's history. Were we excited! F. Yes, but we were twice as excited over our Junior Prom, remember? We called it the nMard1 Grasn, and Mrs. Payton helped us with our beau- tiful decorations. ll J. Didn't Bob Marshall and Sally Harper look nice that night? They led the grand march, with Roy Turner and Ann Mahoney, you remember. F. That was a wonderful year. They all were on the whole, but gee, we didn't think so then. I can remember counting the hours until Saturdays. J. I guess we all did. But we were usually glad to get back to school on Mondays, espe- cially in the fall after the football games. F. Yes, we had a pretty good team our junior year. We even beat Abington for the first time in seven years. J. And Bobby Jones got the football trophy that year, the first year it was given. F. He and Roy Ham ond were co-captains during our senior year.We had our best team that yearg won 5, lost 3, tied 2. J. Yes,I guess we should have had our new field long beforeg it seemed to bring us luck. F. Gosh, it was beautiful. It really took a beating, though. We played some pretty rough games, as I remember. J. Not to mention those weird basketball games. All the easy games we lostg the tough ones we won. I'll never forget the Rockland game. F. I know it, I lost more sleep worrying about that game. But the fellows came through in fine style. Maybe they thought I was going to carry out my threats of mass slaughter if they d1dn't win. J. Our senior year was pretty hectic,to say the least. I never was so busy in my whole life. F. Mg neither. First, we elected our officers. Let's see. There was Bob Marshall, Presidentg Shirley Ferris, Vice-Presidentg Roy Hammond, Treasurerg and Ann Mahoney, Secretary. J. And then we chose committees for our first dance. WThe Dogpatch Hol1day.n F. Mr. Stackpole, one of our advisers, left soon after that. We missed him very much, but Mrs. Mclnnes has carried on capably. J. Then our class play, nDon't be Bashful.n I heard the cast wasn't bashful about their appe- tites at Miss G1lbert's party. F. We voted on the class Who's Who. No one was supposed to know who was who, but the news ap- parently leaked out. J. We started working on yearbooks. F. We used a new method causing more work for the typists so we could have them class day. J. And we exchanged graduation pictures. F. Don't forget our rings! J. The beautiful gold ones with the black onyx stones. F. And then came our second dance, nThe Gypsy Gambol.u We surely had novel entertainment.The fortune telling was a big hit. J. Not to mention the gypsy dances. It was a wonderful dance. F. But the most important dance in our eyes will be the reception next Monday. We all will have tinted gardenias,and the Town Hall will be decorated in our class colors, Green and Silver. J. Speaking of green, I'll never forget the row the kids had on St. Patrick's day,between green and orange. I guess nearly everybody was in danger of expulsion from school. But it was fun while it lasted. F. So was third period chemistry class. I won- der if the kids still soak each other with water pistols and medicine droppers. J. Remember when you and Sidney Herman had a collision while he was carrying a test tube DB1 of acid? F. I'll say. Luckily nobody was hurt. But I couldn't wear my blouse again. J. Speaking of clothes, remember all the fuss about the New Look ? I guess that was the sub- ject of more arguments than anything else this year. Gee, what a time. But nevertheless, the girls all wear the long skirts to school. F. Of course, the most outstanding thing this year will be graduation tonight. I've forgotten much of high school, but I'll never forget the end of our high school days. J. Look, she ls still sound asleep. F. Yes, but she is beginning to stir abit. J. That indicates she is getting ready to dream. F. Good, then let's move her to dreamland before anything happens to interrupt her dreams.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY Before a full house on December 17, the Senior Class staged a three act comedy. The first act opens in the Adams' cottage at Pine Lake. Nancy Adams CJoan Cunninghaml, a retiring girl, has recently graduated with scholastic honors from high school. She is se- cretly in love with a popular college freshman, Ken Hunt CSidney Hermanl. Mr. and Mrs. Adams KRobert. Marshall and Sally Harperl soon discover that the Hunt family occupies the next-door cottage. Ken's candid sister, Judy lRosemary Garriganl, urges Nancy to plan a campaign to capture Ken. Deciding to get her man, Nancy hires Larry Marshall CStanwood Fordl, a complete stranger, to pose as his artist fiance. Meanwhile, Phyllis Burk KNatalie Fontainel, a youthful newspaper reporter, arrives at the resort. Complications arise when Phyllis insists on interviewing Larry and Mrs. Adams thinks she should display one of his paintings. To save herself, Nancy honestly borrows from the gift shop a painting for the interview. In short order she discovers that Larry and A 0 Phyllis are engaged,that neither Knows the other is present,and the theft of the painting is out. In desperation, Nancy asks Miss Caroline Green lJoan Brousseaul, who has arrived for a talk with Mr. Adams, to return the picture. To add to her troubles, upon meeting Frances Terry CBarbara Scahilll, secretary to Ken's college professor, Nancy mistakes her for Judy's govern- ess. Fearful of competition for Ken's affec- tion, Nancy tells the young lady that Sam Hunt KUrban Bellrosel, Ken's father, is insane. After Sam Hunt is taken into custody as a dangerous character by Officer Pluck CRobert Abell poor Kiss Green caught with the painting, and Larry poisoned by Judy's candy, the climax of Nancy's affairs is reached. Needless to say, Phyllis and Larry meet again, and hen decides Nancy is anything but quiet. Much credit is due Miss Gilbert, the coach, and Kathleen Sullivan,prompter. Earle Wassmouth, as stage-manager, and his shop crew made possi- ble a colorful stage for the action. -- i ..- .iv -C ...4. ,C 11 -q 'T .L ,JB ,sal ...a- -1 a-I 1 .44 f X 1 l 5 I B Y V --,v,WAi i4 v Y v .Y 1--wAi,v 4if-Y Y-A lvli- YJ, V Af , ,Yi AWA' A, Y' .

The long-awaited athletic field, which was at last a reality, was an inspiration to the squad. Fortunately for us, unlike other years most of the boys had had all their training With only a small squad the coach proceeded to of rugged practice. game of the season was all anxious to christen under Coach Malinowski. available to work with, put us through the paces At last the opening at hand. The boys were the new field with a victory. The Bridgewater squad was a threat toWhitman,but by superb team- work we took the game 19 to lb. This lifted our morale to a high level and we looked forward with eagerness to the follow- ing game with Stoughton. This game, which was broadcast over a local station, ended in a deci- sive victory of 19 to O for the hard-fighting Whitman team. We met with disaster in our third game when the powerful and well-coached Stetson squad rolled over us to a 13 to 7 victory. After our first taste of defeat we traveled to Plymouth with high hopes. In the first five minutes of p1ayPlymouth pushed across two touch- downs,but Whitman did not lose spirit and at the end of the half the score was tied at 12 to 12. During the second half Whitman greatly outplayed Plymouth and victory was ours at a score of 18 to 12. Overconfident, we travelled to Milford, assured of an easy victory. There we met the strong and determined St. Mary's team, and we luckily emerged with a O to O tie. Determined to make up for our tie of the previous week, we put our all into practice the following days in anticipation of the coming game with our rival, Rockland. Confident of vic- tory, Rockland came to Whitman, but their hopes were soon shattered as Whitman snowed them under 26 to 7 Hingham,our next opponent, proved to be too much for us, and after a close and hard-fought game they returned home with a 13 to 7 victory. With the benefit of seven games'experlence, we journeyed to Middleboro. Although the scrappy Middleboro team fought hard, Whitman excelled them in every playg and the game ended with a 13 to O victory for us. Bright and early ThanksgivingDay morning we faced the Abington squad at Abington for the fi- nal clash of the season. Scores for both teams were fairly similar throughout the season, and there was great tension on both the part of the teams and spectators. Although the Whitman team had several chances for scoring, they couldn't push the ball ecrossg and as the whistle blew ending the first half,Abington was ahead 6 to O. During the second half Abington scored again and the game ended, much to Whitman's sorrow, with a decisive victory for Abington of 13 to O. After the close of the season the team was honored at three banquets. The senior lettermen were presented with sweaters and major W's at the nigh school banquet and gold footballs at the A. A. banquet. Those receiving the sweaters and footballs were: I Co Jones Burke Captains Hammond Kenneally McClellan Driscoll Danner Belrose Dahill Ibbitson Buckley Libby, Manager Football Schedule and Record Whitman 19 Bridgewater lh Whitman 19 Stoughton O Whitman 7 Stetson 13 Whitman 18 Plymouth 12 Whitman O St. Mary's O Whitman 26 Rockland 7 Whitman 7 Hingham 13 Whitman 13 Middleboro O Whitman O Abington 13 Varsity Basketball , Thewhitman High Hoop-Boys ing start this year by winning games. got off to a fly- their first three the season with In the opening game of Stoughton, the boys displayed fine shooting and passing in their 29 to 26 victory. Our foes in the following game, the Alumni, couldn't match our playing and we beat them 27 to 22. Playing their best game of the year, the boys played East Bridgewater the following week and defeated them 62 to b5. We then lost four games in a row to Rock- land, Holbrook, Abington, and Hingham. In one of the upsets of the season the team handed Plymouth a defeat of 35 to 33. Our next game with Abington proved disas- trous as before, and we lost L3 to 2L. In the following game with Middleboro the team couldn't seem to find the basket andMiddle- boro went on to win LO to 17. After a few days of hard practice the team looked much better,but they were still not up to perfection and Stetson downed us Ll to 31. In our next game with Rockland we were out for revenge and got just that. Displaying fancy shooting and fine passwork, we plowed Rockland under A3 to 28. We met too great a competitor atHlngham and were beaten 35 to 21. In one of the most thrilling games of the year we played Plymouth on their home court.
