So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can. Emerson To the Class of 1956 I offer my congratulations and best wishes for happiness and success. As each of you marches forward to meet life and the destiny it holds for you, do so with a pure heart and confidence in the training and education you have received through church, home, and school. Go forth with the bright and eager light of youth full of hope, for through the hopes and dreams of youth come great and mighty wonders. The future belongs to you--but when that future has become the past, take heed that you have added something good to that which you now receive so that when you relinquish the torch to younger hands the world maybe a little better for your having lived. Duty will call many times in many different ways to each of you, for life with its way before you lies. May each of you answer Duty's call, Thou must, by replying, I can. - - .,zfULA....N,04m HOPE ALLEN LEO J. LANE School Secretary Boston College Better be three hours too Vice Principal soon than one minute too Head of History Dep't late. LE you can face yourself, Shakespeare you can face the world. That's no excuse! What's going on in here? 4 FIVE GUIDE POSTS Each and everyone of you in shaping and pursuing your career can make good use of five guideposts. These five guideposts will serve you well. They will never lead you off -the trail. You canhave the utmost confidence in them. I will tell you what they are and recommend them to you for what- ever use you wish to make of them. They do not constitute an infallible formulag they are not a panacea. They are simply five guidepo sts that will lead you toward where you are trying to go. I call them the five C's andtheseC's stand for five words: Confidence, Competence, Courtesy, Cooperation, and Control of Self. KATHERINE I, MCINNES CHARLES W.

My mind began to wander back to our four years at W.H. S. I remember our first day. Didn't we, the underclassmen, feel like midgets lost in a maze of confusing room num- bers, long corridors, and upperclassmen? The other daylfinally burned my old gym suit. Do you remember our first gym class when, much to our surprise, we were ordered to memorize locker combinations and to bring a towel and bathing cap to class--we couldn't imagine why! Then, too, of course, we had our first experiences with passes, and ll6, ab- sentee, and flunk slips. But then, as the days wore on, and we became more accustomed to our surroundings, we settled down to a daily routine with a little bit of fun sandwiched in. Last Saturday I went to a football game and recognized some of the cheers we used to do. I noticed two Freshmenwere playing on the varsity, and it made me think of Dave and Jim. Their band wasn't so good as the Whitman High's9 nor their cheerleaders so energetic as Charlene and Marcelle . Iwonder if their rallies are as loud as our first one seemed. Back to the attic again! Can you believe that I have an old newspaper dated January 3, l953, and in it a notice of Mr. Bayley's resig- nation? Didn't he make a wonderful guidance director? Weren't we excited the first day our new principal, Mr. Johnson, took over? We all made excuses to go to the office to get a glimpse of him. I wanted to write about some of the things we did in our Sophomore year, but as I think it over, my mind is a blank. I think it's really fun reminiscing, andI would enjoy hearing from you. Love, Nancy December, 1965 Dear Nancy, Your mentioning Mr. Johns'on, our new principal, made me think of the changes he made the first year he was there. Wasn't the moni- tor system eliminated, and a new P.A. system installed? I thought you might be interested to know that the other night as I was reading the paper I recognized Jim Shay's picture. It made me think of his first office as president of our Soph- omore year. Also, weren't Carol Mar shall, vice- presidentg Janet Hinkley, secretaryg and Mervin Scott, treasurer? On the same page was an announcement about a coming dinner to be held for past Mothers of the Year from this state. Mrs.La.pworth's name was included. Do you remember what wonderful advisors she and Mr. Andrew made? Later I was preparing a few decorations for a Christmas party and recalled all the work involvedfor our fir st dance, Holiday Whirl. All our efforts making the Fourth of July rockets, Thanksgiving turkey, and Christmas Santa Claus were rewarded with a successful dance and a large profit. I'm planning atrip to Concord soon. Will you ever forget that rainy spring day when Miss Gilbert courageously packed us into buses, countedour noses, and signaled the bus drivers to head in that direction? I'm really looking forward to seeing the old houses again. Did I tell you I'm seriously thinking of taking a trip to Europe this summer? I think I'll get in touch with Mrs. Austin as she might be able to make some suggestions about where Imight visit. I'll never forget the fun our Latin class had at her party. When you have a minute to spare, please drop me a line. Love, Linda March, 1966 Dear Linda, Today I happened to find my class ring, whichlreceived in my Junior year. It made me think of the fun the committee of seven had selecting several choices on which the class could vote. After considering hundreds of rings, I felt I couldn't look at another. Do you still have the round ruby with the crest bearingaw on it? 28 By the way, I met Jannie at the election polls, and we began discussing the election we had in our Junior year. All she could recall was typing letters composed by Bob Bergman, presidentgCarol Marshall, vice-president, and Mervin Scott, treasurer. Q I'm listening to the radio now, and they've justfinished playing Ebb Tide. I can't believe it! We named our Junior dance after it oh, so many years ago. Do you still remember the little lighthouse and how cleverly constructed it was? Our class advisors, Mrs. Lapworth and Mr. O'Neil, complimented us on our dec- orations. Last week I attended the annual Honor Society Induction Ceremony at our Regional High School. Thatfirst impressive candlelight ceremonywhenwe were Juniors at W. H. S. all came back to me. The proud parents--as ours did--shook as they paradedup to the stage to pin the new members. Do you know I still have my fir st Spellman Essay? Oh, those days and evenings we spent in the Brockton Public Library preparing for that fatal day when the essays had to be passed in. Although I remember I was too scared to compete for a. prize, some did, and Russell walked off with third honors. As long as we have been talking over old times, Idragged outmy high school scrapbook. As I flipped through the pages, I noticed my prom pictures taken by Vantines, our class photographer. Wasn't thatthe big event of our year! Iremember we girls scurrying for gowns and all the boys for money. How many boxes of Kleenex did we use in making those paper carnations? I also found a menu from the Red Coach Grill, and it made me think-of the fun we had listening to certain members of our class harmonize. I still laugh when I think of how Bucky suddenly disappeared from the road. Isn't this Silver Lake's 10th anniversary this year? We certainly lost quite a few class - mates to them, but at the same time we gained Judith Whiteside, Carlo Di Persio, William Coy, Beverly Brown, and Robert Rousseau. It wasn't long after our prom that we had to decorate for class day and graduation. How envious we were of the graduates then, though our feelings changed a few months later. I'd better close now because it's almost time to get dinner but maybe we could get to- gether for lunch sometime. Love, Nancy May. 1966 Dear Nancy, As I don't have a definite lunch hour, I won't be able to meet you at that time, but may- be we could get together some evening soon. Any night but Tuesday would be all right since that is the night of the Woman's Club meeting. You remember Diane and Janet who were Hon- orary Members during our Senior year? Now we attend the meetings together. Didn't Jimmy Shay win the athletic trophy the same time as they were made Honorary Members? In your last letter you mentioned that Mrs. Lapworth and Mr. O'Neil were our class advisors.Didn't Mr. Burgess replace Mr. O'Neil in our Senior yearg and as you mentioned our class officers, weren't Bob Bergman, president: Grace, McLaughlin, vice-president, Marcelle Schmikler, secretaryg and Jimmy Shay, treas- urer that year? When I made a visit to the high school recently, I. noticed our football trophy which reminded me of our wonderful year of Football led by the co-captains, Dave and Jimmy. How could the boys let down suchan enthusiastic coach as Mr. Teahan! He certainly deserved credit for two 'victories at this time. Just before our turkey-day victory we held our dance, Autumn Leaves. Can you remember our football players drawn by our class artist, Carlo? We also had a rally before the game, and this gave our co-captains a chance to deliver their long and well-prepared speeches. Speaking of speeches, this reminds me of our football banquet and how proud the boys were of their sweaters. I believe we received the South Eastern Massachusetts Conference Trophy at the same time. This also makes me think of the electric scoreboard which was finally purchased for fu- ture basketball games. The Student Council led by Dave Waterman, presidentg Ethel Bezanson, vice-presidentgand Grace McLaughlin, secretary, heldmanybottle drives so that we might have it. By the way, I happened to come across my playbook, Mother Is a Freshman, andit brought back many memories. Parts were dis- tributed, long hours of rehear sal began, and then on the fatal night of December 16, our play-proved to be a real Hollywood production. Will you ever forget our dress rehearsal? We started off with a bang, and I do mean a bang! Jim Shayfound himself on the floor amongst a pile of kindling. Then there was the ti.me when I was late for my cue only to find Carlo talking to Ted. Imet Russell the other day, and we be- gan laughing about the time he got stuck in All fouryears at Whitman High were cer- Lover's Lane with three female members of the Honor Society on the way to a meeting. Don't we have a lot of happy memories of the Honor Society? How hard we worked on the Benefit Movie, and how happy we were when we were able to give two S200 scholarships! Our Senior members were finally given a chance to partic- ipate in the Induction Ceremony. Weren't you scared that night when you as Service were called upon to speak? Yesterday, Iwas talking to Mr S . Lapworth, and we mentioned the Christmas party she had for her commercial girls. Wasn't that roast beef dinner delicious? I'm sure that dinner was to soften the blow of the tests we were to take after the holidays. The college boards were taken about that time, too. Out of curiosity I took out our class pic- tures to see how we looked whenwe were Seniors. Ican't believe how muchwe've changed! For the next hour I was engrossed in reading all the flat- tering messages. As I was scanning Gail's pic- ture, I remembered how happy we were when she was chosen D.A.R. representative, and Russell's picture remindedme of his represen- tation at the State House on Student Government Day. You also mentioned in your last letter that you found your Spellman Essay which you wrote inyour Junior year. I'll never forget our Senior W. H. S. , Ithought 'E Spotlight might be helpful :i.n remembering all our Senior activities. I'll never forget how hard the editors worked feed- ing the hungry typists. Oh, by the way, I've been selected for jury duty, and it brings back memories of the trip our law class made to court. I still laugh when I picture Janice F ahrenholt praying on her knees on the courthouse stepsg and wasn't Carole Cormier funny as she prepared to make herself comfortable for the big side dish at F1-a.nk's. In the midst of all the confusion with yearbook and graduation, we held a dance .on April 13. We really didn't feel we were graduating untilwe were measuredfor caps and gowns. The girls chose white and the boys, blue. Our class had certainly enlarged since our Junior year. Three newcomers joined our class just in time to graduate with us. They were Lillian Parris, Susan Sullivan, and Patricia Brouillard. I remember our class was the first to have a Graduation Week which included a ban- quet inthe late afternoon and class day the same eveningg then the reception and finally the climax--our graduation on June 15. one. That one came due at the same time as honor parts, yearbook, class pictures, and the Preston Gurney Contest. tainly Moments to Remember. What fun it will be to relive them at our future class reunions!

Eloise and Harry we my as It was after Class Night, and the suspense and excitement ofthe evening had left us exhausted. After everyone had left Whitman High School, the two of us sat quietly recalling the laughs we had enjoyed during the evening. Soon, however, we became drowsy, before long we were sleeping. and Suddenly, a mysterious atmosphere spread throughout the room! As the clock struck ten, doors creaked open, anda hazy figure appeared walked towards us. A voice spoke. I am Spirit of the Future. He walked closer to usg were too stunned to move. the and the we You have been wondering what the future holds for your classmates. I can reveal this to you. If you are ready to leave, let's start our long jour- ney to the year l966. 33 Our fir st stop is at a. new resort called Berg's Lodge, owned by Robert Bergman, the author of How 'I'o Be The Life of the Party. The staff of the lodge includes: David Breil, public relations manager, Mary Lou Dexter, Registered Nurseg Lyman Douglas, head busi- nessmang John Durant, bookkeeperg Leon Wag- ner, the fishing guidegand Grace McLaughlin, the cook, who was previously employed at Romanoff's. The first guest to register at the lodge was Admiral Robert Rousseau, on leave from his duties withthe Navy. Dave Waterman, for- mer tackle of the Cleveland Browns, and Ted Liapis, former guard for the Cleveland Browne who is now a candidate for Mayor of Whitman, have also registered. From here we attend the ceremonies at The Whitman Sports Club, where the President, Jean Smith, has signed for guest appearances two famous football personalities, Jim Shay and Pete Zaniboni, quarterback and right guard for the Bos- ton Rams, The manager of the Boston Celtics, Paul Byron, will also appear as a guest. Dave Jou- bert, nation-wide speedboat champion, who has been honored by having a sports trophy named for him, will choose the winner of the trophy during the cer- emonies at the club. Upon our arrival inNew York, we visit the fashion designer, Kathie Bryan, designer of Bryan Originals, created exclusively for short girls. She has hired Lillian Parris as her seamstress and Janice Fahrenholt and Janet Hinkley as her models. In competition with Bryan Originals is the company, Clothes Galore, owned by'Ethe1 Began- son and Carole Cormier. Employed here are Judy Pierce as top model, Carol Tibbetts as secretary, Beverly Brown as switchboard operator, and Leon Leveillee in charge of clothing displays. Managing the whole concern is Carl Turner. ' While inNew York, we hear the enthusiastic reviews of a sports handbook, Gun 8zRod, written by David Crowley, who obtained the advice for fishermen and hunters from Kenny Nichols, B ob Tirrell, and Paul Clemons, hunting and fishing enthusiasts. Now we find ourselves in a New York tele- vision studio, where Virginia Cummings just an- swered the 564, 000 question correctly. Her cat- egoryonthis program was Driving Tactics. Ac- companying Miss Cummings on her appearance was Charlotte Bates, an expert on the subject. The last person to answer the 364,000 question was Char- lene Welch whose category was Progress inElec- tricity. On our way to California we learn that word has been received from David Perrier, a radio technician, and Francis Martin, an electronic tech- nician, who are living on the moon, thatanexperi- mental space ship developed by Diane Der Sarkisian has successfully landed there. The pilot and co- pilot of the ship were David Bartholdson and Joan Adams. Daring passengers aboardwere Margaret Nice and Judy White side. Soon the ship will be run- ning a regular schedule from Earth to the Moon,with Pat Hart and Pat Broulliard serving as space stew- ardesses. In Hollywood a quick glance atanewspaper tells us that movie columnist, Norma Chapman, has' disclosed that Linda Bartlett has signed a contract with Rose Marie Cistaro, President of M etr o - Goldwyn Mayer, for her to appear in a movie star- ring with Harry Belafonte. . John Brock, voted one of the tenbest-dressed men in the country, and Nancy Wyatt, New York socialite, are now appearing together in the movie, 11112 Lady-argl-E-Tramp. Musical ar- rangements for this film were done by Marcelle Schmikler and Barry Ross. Also contributing 'to the making of the movie were Jeanne Walsh, publicity photographer, and Carlo Di Persio and Nancy Hokanson, art directors. We now stop i.n Chicago to find that Allan Clemons, an automobile designer, and Russell De Coste, a mechanic, have put on the market the Thunderbolt, which has been tested in a cross country run by Robert Jennings. Mariam Duford, a wealthytelephone stockholder, is the proud owner of the fir st model sold. We sight an immaculate hospital where Robert Joly, anoted doctor,and his nurse, Susan Sullivan, have discovered a new wonder drug. They don't know what it will cure, but they are sure it's goodfor something. The doctor's sec- retary is Francine Johnson, and the assistant nurses are Maureen Canty andFrances Ippolito. On our return trip we observe an inno - vation in the field of education--a new home- making school established by Helen Cox. The instructors at this school are Muriel O'Brian, Claire Boudreau, and JoanShebeck, who were selected for their training in homes of their own. In Boston the proprietor of Blinstrubs, Ronald Sousa, has recently hired Carolyn Hammond for a four week singing engagement, following the appearance of Carol Brousseau and Edward Moneghan, famous dancing team known as The Heartbreakers. Playing in the orchestra at Blinstrubs is Harold Torrey, the s en sational cornet playe r. The smallest town we are to visit is Hal- ifax. It is here that we find that the former out- standing forward of Whitman High School, Joan Ellis, has organized a women's professional basketball team known as the Halifax Hoopsters. Her star player of the team is Marilyn Powers. At last we have reached our hometown. We find that the millionaire philanthr opi st , Howard Soule, has donated a new F. B. I. build- ing to be erected in Whitman by Kevin Whalen, an engineer for The Owens Construction Company. Working for this company are Joanne Guillemette as secretary to the owner, Bob Owens, and Barbara Malaney, as switchboardoperator. We find that notification of her appointment as the first woman F. B. I. agent has been sent to Gail Chiros by Russell Martenson, who recently has replaced J. Edgar Hoover as Director of the F. B. I. Dawn Winslow, principal of Whitman High School, has made arrangements for the stu- dent body of the school to tour this building when it is completed. 34. At Whitman High School we learnthat Barbara Doucette, women's champion bowler, and William Coy, the well-known roller skating instructor, are financing the organization of a roller skating club in the school. After our long journey the Spirit ushered us back to Whitman High School and suddenly van- ished from our sight just as mysteriously as he had appeared. The striking of the clock awakened us from our long dream into the future. We walked home in utter bewilderment, wondering whether or not the Spirit would be right, but resigned to the fact that only TIME would tell! Janet Hinkley Norma Chapman The yearbook staff wishes to express its sincere appreciation to its advisor, Mrs. Mclnnes, for the time she has sacrificed and the effort she has given toward making this yearbook a success. 35 H55 JOAN ADAMS To Joan, whose pet peeve, so Are lights that turn to red, We give a portable green light That she can use instead.

' 75 IIDAVEII UIJIMIV Whitman High' s football team , led by co - captains Dave Waterman and Jim Shay, finished the season undefeated for the second consecutive year, running their unbeaten streak to sixteen straight games. We scored a total of one hun- dred and seventy-four points while our opponents scored twenty. Only two teams, Rockland and Foxboro, were able to score against the mighty Whitman team. We concluded the season by defeating Abington High in our annual Thanks- giving Day game, therebywinning the champion- ship of the new Southeast Conference football league. The Spotlight shines on the impressive trophy awgded to us for the outstanding record in league competition. Mr. Teahan is to be highly praised for producing such a successful ball club on his first year as head coach. We wish next year 's team, under co-captains Charles Benoit and Paul Agius, continued success in upholding Whitman High's undefeated record. FOOTBALL First row: P. Agius, J. Durant, P. Zaniboni, K.
