Q 0 I N L, NWN, ,M 'A The class of 1946, Wilmington High School, dedicate this yearbook in loving memory to John L. Berrigan, Jr., member of our class who lost his life in the service of our country, aboard the U. S. S. Solar on April 30, 1946. wummqm mga ,schnnl WThere is a school in a little town Away out in the wood, Now even though people sneer at it, We know that it is good! Even though this school is not so big And membership is small, It h's been and always will be, At each student's call. Its teachers are few but loyal, And never seem to complain, They treat each student like the other, One and one the same. Here is a toast to Mr. Hood, So loyal and so true, Whatever may come, he's always there, To see each student through. This school we will remember For many, many a day The Joys and sorrows felt here, Are in our hearts to stay. Many of its boys have done their part This country for to save, God Bless those boys and all they've done, So that our flag might wave. Those who will never return, And lie beneath the sod, Would always have the people, Keep their faith in God. When we are gone away from here We want the world to know, Our hearts will be inspired, Where ever we may go. So when a stranger asks you what school he's passing by, Proudly lift your head and say, Nwhy that's Wilmington High.W milmingrnn rngn ,schnnl 9 M AIRVIEW OF ARCHITECTS PROJECT R, x R ,dai MR. STEPHEN G. BEAN It's hard for pupils of our age to realize fully the stupendous work being accomplished by our superintendent, Mr. Bean. It isn't as simple as it seems to keep a corps of teachers working harmoniously, con- tinuously, and effectively, so that over two thousand pupils in three different towns may gain the knowledge that modern times demand. His patience, perserverance and fatherly way of dealing with problems arising among his subordinates, win him the title of nThe Man Behind the Wheelsn. To him we, the class of 1946 owe a hearty and deserved-- WTHANKSIW J. TURNER HOOD JR. It is not neccessary to bear too much on his qualities, because we all know him. Being young, we all have erred, and so we have met him and have discovered him to be a man of understanding. Mr. Hood is one who will be missed, and as we depart farther from school, it is only natural that we think of him more and wish he were with us to admonish or advise. Wwhile Memory brings us back again Each early tie that twined us, Oh sweet's the cup that circles then To those we've left behind us!' T. MOORE. xQ2ZQfAE5.

Our spirit and team work was good throughout the entire season, but we just didn't get the breaks. We opened our season at Billerica on September 29, in a thunder storm. We were washed out 35-6, Lady Luck turned on us and our passes just wouldn't click. Gus Blais- dell gave his all in a peach of a 60 yard run, letting Howe see we were in there. The Jinx left us October 6 when we took Central Catholic, HB' team. The good old NTU forma- tion and passes worked letter perfect for touchdowns, and we rushed the points. Two sorry misses gave Dracut the game 13-7. We showed nothing but our dust to Burlington, winning 35-6. Our second team looked good in this game. On the return game we set Burling- ton back again 20-O. We dug in well to Phillips Andover J. V.'S, but they were just too good, hitting a 18-12 win. We found Westford tricky, but soon learned what made them tick and chalked up a 26-6 win. Tewks- bury, our real meet, took us for a 28-19 win. we the l9L5 football squad wish to thank the citizens for the very enjoyable banquet and useful gifts. To Mr. Driscoll, our coach, goes our appreciation for his excellent coaching. Our only regrets are that our efforts couldn't have brought the results of victory that he so justly deserved.

An enthusiastic and hardworking group of girls were those who were seen practicing basketball in the gym practically every after noon. The team started off well by defeating Howe and continued on being victorious in their next three consecutive games which were Johnson, Tewksbury and Burlington. Having won their first four games, two of which, Tewksbury and Burlington, were considered tough opposition, they went to Chelmsford with their hopes high and with much spirit. However, in spite of hard playing, the Wil- mington girls were defeated. Dracut and John son were quite easily defeated. Although three ga es were lost the girls felt as though they had accomplished something in de- feating Tewksbury, their top rival in both games. . Under the excellent coaching of Miss Greenwood and with the cooperative spirit of the girls, the team enjoyed a good season in spite of inadequate gym facilities, chalking up seven wins to three losses. a..a.o6-all BASEBALL Our baseball team did a fine job and if you will notice in our schedule only two teams were able to beat us twice in our series and of these two, Reading really was a stronger team. Reading, Punchard and Chelmsford were a little out of our class in these contests. Pitching was our big problem. Dick Gearty, who came along so well last season was scholastically ineligible the first half of the schedule and was not up to his old form when he finally came out. Wilbur Sheldon, who had some experience last year, showed some improvement, but was not ready for top flight competition. We were on the lookout for someone with a good arm and Gus Blaisdell got the call for Ser- vice. Gus, incidently, was doing a fine job in center field. After two heartbreaking losses, which 'never should have beenn against Punchard and Chelmsford, both by a 3-2 score, we got started and gave a pretty good account from there on. In both Reading games Blaisdell was unable to pitch so we were not as strong as we might have been. The old jinx that caught up with Ted Nichols last fall in the Tewksbury game where he broke his wrist, side tracked him in the Chelmsford game where he broke his leg slid- ing into home plate. We had a rained-out game with Dracut. Thus we bring to a close another year of athletics in which we were able to win our share of the victories. We accepted our losses with good sportsmanship and congratu- lated our opponents on their better playing. To our Seniors we say 'good luck' for a successful future. We know we will miss you when the next season rolls around. 5 THE CHIEER LEADERS Front left to right Madeline Lyons, Eileen Porter, Dorothy Weatherbee, Ann Lacy, Rear left to rivht Roberta Hillis, Eleanor Cuoco, Muriel Martin, Marjorie Johnston, Led by Dorothy Weatherbee and Eileen Porter, this group of energetic young girls went through a very successful season of bringing encouragement to our boys on the football fields and basketball courts. Al- though games were lost, the cheer leaders' enthusiasm still remained. It was their cheering that produced the needed spark to win the game. A great deal of credit is also due to their helpful coach, Miss E. Greenwood. if JJICWQ . . dw -1 ana' f f, ' M, 6 4' u ' ' 4, CMM- K ilvf, ,cLiJwq7ng,pJw f4J w:trfJ I .,.., , 1 :ol L, ,I , X ,F X I ,QQ x ,f xx? ,V-13'1' ' , 63 X J JS Ninth ' ii ,f X, 1 , V r Xu WBWWJN il M Q in W ' R' r ,ffjxs K f 9 il ' . ff' W K- .

Although their climb has been rugged, their undying effort and continual cooperation has brought them to hard earned success. In their second year, their first self- chosen officers were: President, Burtt Holmes, Vice President, Robert E. Swain, Secretary, Elizabeth Melzar, and Treasurer, Fredrick B. Bischoff. In their Baird year, this class gave these same honors to : L N N Fredrick B. Bischoff, Presidentg Robert E. Swain, Vice Presidentg Elizabeth Melzar, Secretary and John Elia, Jr., Treasurer. To the combined assistance of these students, this class owes a hearty thanks. Now in their third year, this class first presented a personal interest in the government of their school by choosing Geraldine T. Porter, Muriel I. Martin, Burtt Holmes, John Elia, Jr., Fredrick B. Bischoff, and Theodore R. Wicks as their representatives for the Stu- dent Council. To this progressive group, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty Six wish you continued success. 6' THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT Entering Wilmington High School in Nineteen Hundred and Forty Four, this class made an ardent beginning in its climb to the top. Although it has experienced only one year of high school life, it became fully acquainted with expectations of the next three years. This group of young folks has proven its capability in handling any problem that may try to surmount them. The honor of becoming the first of- ficers of this class was given to Charles B. Sullivan, Presidentg James A. Tarricone, Vice Presidentg Joan L. Preston, Secretary and Marjorie I. Woods, Treasurer. Under the careful and undeviating leadership of these students, this class has successfully begun its first-two years in high school. It was first given a personal recogni- tion through their self-chosen represent- atives for the Student Council. They were Virginia Hood, Catherine C. Jaquith, William A. Buck and James A. Tarricone. As a closing word we.the class of 1946 wish you continued luck! 5 xx - 'bb' ,I 1' , . I FRESHIAN CLASS When the class of l9h9 entered Wilming- ton High School they brought with them the usual confusion and chaos. Due to the fact that the seniors were in charge of policeing, this was stopped by the second day of school. The senior monitors had a hard time in cor- recting the errors of these classmen, but took everything in perfect stride and straightened out the situation. When these students are seniors and watch the foolish movements of their lower classmates they will remember the confusion they caused in their first year of high 80hO0l Q lgafwai 1.8 I 'VILNHNQ HIGH SCHOOL BAND First row--left to right: Virginia Day, Betty Cavanaugh, James Welling, Tom y Haynes, William Buck, Earl Richard, Carol Hadley, Betty Fairweather.

The Wilmington Community Band was organ- ized in 1938 with the help of the townspeople. The band was started with twenty-four players, and they held their first concert in July, 1939. The band competed in the annual con- claves at Plymouth and Wellesly and came home with honors both times. The members of the band continued their good work until eighteen of the boys entered the service. At this time the Community decided to give over the instru ments to the High School, so that some of the pupils would have the chance to use them. Under the able leadership of Mr. Harold McDonald the band has been very successfull in all its undertakings. The Wilmington High School Band is well known for playing at the football games, and also on Memorial Day. We hope that the band will continue to be a success throughout the coming years. med F 1' 3 MIXED CHORUS Front row--left to right: Roberta Hillis, Marjorie Johnston, Margaret Denton, Dorothy Weatherbee, Alice Haley, Marion Foley, Ann Lacy, Elizabeth Melzar, Muriel Martin.

The members of Wilmington High School had their first practical lesson of democracy when they organized The Student Council of Wilmington High School. The members of this Council represented the different classes of the High School. They have already drawn up their Constitution and By-laws. The Council has elected delegates to represent them at the Statewide Student Council Convention. This organization ran The Curtis Maga- E zine drive, the proceeds will be used to buy a moving picture camera to supplement the moving picture projector already procured. They have elected a committee to investigate a better plan for fire drill. We, the Senior Class, wish the Student Council of next year the best of luck. El . l 9 3 '2- SL i E J .., ,, YOUNG AMERICA AT THE BAT Before us lies the future. As we leave Wilmington High School, there are other heights to climb and other prizes to capture in the great game of life. We of the class of nineteen hundred forty-six, will be swinging our bats for many different placesg some will be doctors, some lawyers, and some nurses while still others will be secretaries, engineers, art- ists and draftsmen. Our class will go for- ward into all walks of life. These paths to many of us are still a bit uncertain. what the future brings is strictly up to us. We have just finished the background of our education, and from now on we shall be re- sponsible first of all, for ourselves, and secondly, for the peace and the developement of the world. We must step up to the plate and take a healthy swing to make certain that our future and its opportunities are a success- ful hit instead of a strikeout. America is depending on us to succeed as we get up there If we should fail, war and desolation might again be brought upon the world. For this reason, we must succeed. we have developed physically and ment- ally. We have studied the mysteries of science, history and literature and all the time have been growing wise in all branches of learning to help lay the foundations for successful future careers. To our teachers we owe a great deal, for the help they have given us. Ifm sure we will appreciate this more after we have left school, than we do at the present time. No more will we be together in the High School as in those happy days we have just finished. These days, whether we realized it or not were the best days of our lives, for now we must each go his own way unsup- ported. we must use the education which has been given us these past four years. Fond memories of friendship and the happy times we have spent together, will forever remain within us but we must prove ourselves fit in the battle of life. G Probably at some time in our lives, most of us have played baseball. You know how important it is to your team that you do your best. It is the same way on this greater team which we will join shortly in life, only this team is larger. Everyone of us on this great team has something inpor- tant to do. As is the case in the baseball game, we must give our best in order that our team will win. Undoubtedly the team with the most hits and least errors will win the game. This is why we must plan ahead so that we will get plenty of hits and not make errors that will hurt our team. Where would we have been in the recent war had it not been for the great teamwork of our armed forces? They saw how necessary it was to fight as a team, instead of individ- ually. Take the capture of Tarawa as one good example of teamwork. Our Marines stormed the beaches and in the face of heavy odds came through to victory. The raising of the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima under heavy fire is another great example of our servicemen's teamwork and courage. As a result of this continuous teamwork, when the odds were against us, America won a great war. If only we could create such teamwork in our game of life, we should have no trouble in gaining success in the future. Now as we of the class of nineteen hun- dred forty-six leave Wilmington High School, we leave only in body. Our spirit shall con- tinue to be in all school activities in the future and we shall continue to back the stu- dents in body as well as spirit. In welcoming you this evening, I speak not only for the graduating class of Wilming- ton High School, but for all who are sharing in a similar experience. We are the youth of America. Ours is the privilege and re- sponsibility of helping to rebuild the world of today. We are grateful to our parents who have stood by us so loyally, encouraging us with never failing faith in our utmost success. We also thank our teachers for their patience, our Principal, our Superin- tendant and School Committee and all friends who have been interested in our progress. WWHAT MUSIC M ANS TO AMERICA TODAYn Before considering what music means to America today, let us try to see America through the eyes of Katherine Lee Bates. The magnificent view from P1ke's Peak many years ago inspired her to write the im ortal words of 'America The Beaut1ful.' no beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undim ed by human.tears Our President can be used as the key note to what part music plays in America. At the Potsdam Conference he was requested to play the piano. After doing so, he was greatly praised and honored by the enthusiasm of his distinguished audience. However, this en- thusiasm did not compare with that of mil- lions of Americans, who saw this former lit- tle farmer lad from Missouri doing a thing which said far more than any words could say in such a time of world strife. Although this incident seemed of little importance, we should remember that when the time came, our President was prepared to meet it and win honor. Music can be used for many purposes. It encourages and helps to build up a world of poise. Many times music has saved people from confusion and panic, such as fire in a theatre or on an ocean liner where musicians have continued to play, trying to keep the people calm. Music also has great value for healing the s1ck.- The medicine men of the Indians, the witch doctors, and the Voodoo men were not so far wrong when they depended largely upon sound and rhythm for the healing of their sick, for even today music soothes the fevered brains of many patients in hos- pitals. Music has been found as one of the best means of getting sick children to take a hopeful attitude and of enlightening their spirits. A girl who had lost both hands and feet had her heart set on playing the trumpet. A device was made which held the instrument for her and from the time she started playing it she began to recover in spirit. This girl not only learned to play the instrument, but became first chair trumpeter in the high school band. I have read of many other sim- ilar cases, not only those of children, but those of adults. Music also has a soothing effect on mental cases. Many doctors say that music is medicine to their patients. It seems most unusual, but music also has its place in the world of science. Ex- periments have been made by scientists, using musical vibrations to kill bacteria. These vibrations are so high that they are lnaudi- ble. This is only one of the things that the future will make clear to us. Our world's noted scientists have made great contribu- tions to music. If it had not been for Thomas Edison, we could not enjoy the music, which is brought so closely to us by records, radio, and film. Today it is possible to obtain records of the worlds' greatest masterpieces. This is especially valuable in the home where by constant repitition, children may acquire musical taste as readily as current speech. As for radio-- programs like the nTe1ephone Hour,n nThe All Girl 0rchestra,' and the concert pro- grams on Sunday afternoons offer excellent opportunities to hear the world's dist- inguished music. Also many new movie pro- ductions have been shown, bringing the lives of some of our immortal musicians close to us. Music tends to bring friendly relation- ship among the people of foreign countries. In fact it has been planned to send the Detroit Symphony Orchestra around the world as an ambassador of the ideals by which Am- ericans live. Many years ago Confusius said 'lhen music and curtesy are better under- stood, there will be no war.' Another ap- propriate statement was made in a recent radio address by Judge Goldstien. 'Harmony is essential to a symphony orchestra. Har- mony likewise is essential to a symphony of pedple.' I Without music the world would be lost, and in regard to World Unity, what is a more fitting prayer than the conclusion of 'Am- erica The Beautlful.' 'Amer1ca, America God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.' OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE---FREE EDUCATION Our forefathers realized the necessity of free education to the American way of living. With the Revolutionary War behind them they set out to build their ideal form of government. In order to bring this about they realized they had to build on a sound background. They, also, realized the value of free education in developing this back- ground. In the 1830's real progress was made, with state legislatures beginning to provide for the establishment of graded common schools. The man who helped further educa- tion to the position it holds today was Horace Mann of Massachusetts. He is largely responsible for fixing on the United States a system of schools professing nonsectarian- ism. It was through his efforts that schools progressed so that other states soon followed the lead of Massachusetts and established a system of tax-supported schools. For the past twelve years we the mem- bers of the graduating class of l9L6 have had the privilege of Free American Education. This type of schooling has helped us to become individuals through a process of learning which has been brought about by the systematic training of the moral and intellectual faculties. Free education is one of the most im- portant foundations of our life. The very survival of our democracy depends on what we do in our public schools. Pupils must be taught to understand and comprehend the problems that face them as the American citizens of tomorrow. One method is free and open discussion of current problems. The student must be able to discuss these problems wisely and intelligently and to do this he must have a good sound back- ground of learning furnished by our system of free education. Another method which is an aid to all students is the organization known as a student council. Through the student council, students are given a chance to express their views and opinions on diff- erent matters concerning their school. Together with our school activities we have our extra-curricular activities. Foot- ball, basketball, baseball, in the sports line and music and drawing in the line of art. When we engage in these activities we are given a chance to compete with fellow students. Competition is the key-word of American life and through it we learn the lesson of good sportsmanship. Through music and art we build a cultural background. These activities tend to develop our charac- ter to a finer and higher level. Americans are predominantly a people of intellectual curiosity. They have a keen desire to know and understand everything. They are characterized by the qualities of honesty, shrewdness, wiseness, humaness, and cheerfulness. The American students to- gether with the aid of their ever-willing and ever-helpful teachers represent these characteristics. Free education and Americanism are synonymous. Free education is the very breath of America, its very life. It is the underlying force, the inner power, the spirit which is singular to our nation, the nation that we cherish. We, the graduating class of 1946, are proud to say we have had the hereditary right and privilege furnished by a Free American Education. We can truthfully say we have enjoyed our stay in the Wilmington School System. Mr. Bean, Mr. McLeod and members of the school board, Mr. Hood our principal, our teachers, parents and friends---we offer our most heart-felt thanks and gratitude for your understanding and cooperation. A0 This is to introduce the activities of the Class of l9L6. As members we think it has been an outstanding and prosperous class throughout the entire four years. We entered as Freshman in l9L2, very excited and confused, all were full of ambi- tion. A Concert was held in the Grange Hall in the spring, in.which we took part. Al- though we were unable to hold our own dances we attended the others. Our biggest event of the year was May Day with Bobbie Ware and Janet Gomes chosen as May Queen Attendants. The members of our Freshman class were as follows: Babine, Edward Balcom, Gordon Bedell, Helen Bedell, Richard Berrigan, John Bishop, Hildred Blaisdell, Augustus Blake, Richard Bourassa, Paul Boyd, Eleanor Brennan, Helen Bulat, Sophie Burns, Elizabeth Casaletto, Nicholas Cavanaugh, Elizabeth Coulter, Patricia Cunningham, Leonard Cuoco, Eleanor Cutter, Henry Day, Virginia Dayton, Julia Deveau, Verna Demartines, Philip Doucette, Albert Jensen, William Kaizer, Beatrice Killam, Dorothy Kleynen, Elaine Lacy, Ann LeBrun, Catherine Marshie, Pauline Martin, Leo McLain, Frank McLaughlin, Augustus Meade, Lillion Mullarky, Robert Gammons, Barbara McGlashing, Betty MacKenzie, Edson Murray, Elaine Murray, Norma Newhouse, Pearl O'Brien, Phyllis 0'Hara, Martina Osborne, Thomas Overton, Laura Peitzsch, Betty Pipes, James Porter, Eileen Poole, Robert Downs, Clayton Farmer, William Flight, Eleanor Flynn, William Foley, Marion Gordon, William Lee, Alan Wendell, Daniel Dutton, Earl Anstey, Elmo Carta, Harold Gaglione, Concetta Galka, Alice Garland, Marjorie Gomes, Janet Gordon, Jacob Hadley, Roberta Haley, Alice Haley, Francis Hardy, Josiph n, Lawrence Harrima Haynes, Thomas Hembree, Margaret Henderson, Barbara Quigg, Rosemary Reagan, Patricia Reynolds, Edward Rooney, Mary Ryder, Milton Sheldon , Wilbur Squibb, Irwin Starr, Francis Stevens, Jean Sullivan, William Talbot, Grace Tate, Betty Tessicini, Mary Shelley, John Ring, Pat Wagstaff, Robert Ware, Roberta Weatherbee, Dorothy White, Emeline Wilkins, Doris Yentile, Vincent Watters, Robert Lyons, Madeline Decato, Gordon Richardson, Joseph Douglas, Gene Our Sophomore year introduced many activities under the efficient guidance of Mrs. Webber. We elected our first Class officers as follows: President, Buddy Sheldon Vice President, Edson MacKenzie, Secretary, Patricia Reagan, and Treasurer, Janet Gomes. We had the privilege of holding our first class dance, which proved to be very success- ful. In the spring of this year we engaged in a Curtis Magazine drive, and with the pro- ceeds we purchased our honor roll. May Day was another important event with Eileen Porter and Dorothy Weatherbee chosen as May Queen Attendants. We entered our Junior year, and were now upper classmen. Miss Farello was our class adviser. We elected our officers as follows: President, Robert Wagstaffg Vice President, Leonard Cunningham, Secretary, Janet Gomes, and Treasurer, Buddy Sheldon. Two class dances were held and our Junior Prom took place at the Grange Hall, April 20. All proved to be very successful. Another Curtis drive was held and with the proceeds a Moving Picture Projecture with a record attachment was purchased. Deborah Motschman joined us this year. Helen Bedell and Dorothy Weatherbee were chosen as May Queen Attendants. Our Senior year finally arrived and under the capable leadership of Miss Marland we have had many good times. We held our annual election of officers, choosing Robert Wagstaff as President, Laddy Harriman, Vice President, Janet Gomes, Secretary, and Buddy Sheldon, Treasurer. We were very fortunate this year having six additions to our class, namely: Betty Martino, Margaret Anderson, William Keefe, Richard Montgomery, John Brancone, and Henry Kaizer, the latter two veterans of the war. We were very sorry that Richard Bedell, Robert Mullarky, and 'Tookie' Berrigan couldn't remain the entire year, for they entered the armed forces. We all hold dear the memory of Tookie Berrigan who gave his life to his country. A Student Council was organized for the purpose of promoting the cooperation between the students and teachers and to boost the school spirit. Buddy Sheldon was chosen president. The Student Council took charge of the Curtis Magazine drive and with the pro- ceeds we were able to purchase a Moving Pic- ture Camera and record attachment. Three class dances were held in the Grange Hall and our Senior-Junior Prom was held at the Reading Country Club. A football banquet was held at which all players were awarded letters. The Senior players were also awarded wallets. The annual concert was held at the Grange Hall under the direction of Miss Littlehale. The staff for our class book was chosen with Jimmy Pipes as editor. We chose our class colors red and white, our class flower, a Gardenia, and the Class motto, 'We build the ladder by which we cl1mb'. We were very unfortunate this year in losing Mr. Kambour and Mr. Harvey because of illness. Although this class has become tired in its journey to the top, and has often en- countered sudden turns, we have dilligently mounted up the ladder by which we climbed.

And I traveled up, up into the stratosphere in my Overspeed Moon Destination Rocket Ship. I was traveling rapidly through space. I traveled by the Planet Uranus, the Milky Way, the Delphinus, and the Pegasus. On I sped into Eternity. I stopped at the Golden Gate and said, WHello!n to Saint Peter. He began to ask me about my past sins, but anyone with experi- ence in giving excuses for things undone at WILMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL has nothing to fear from a mere Saint. I had no trouble persuading the old gentleman that I was more of a saint than he was. MR. DRISCOLL and MRS. WEBBER would have quickly seen through my line of explanations. I then continued on my way and after accurate calculations I landed on the soft surface of the moon. I stepped out onto the yellow grass and looked up at the pink sky expanded to four times my natural size on earth. The first thing that attracted my atten- tion was a moongliboy selling moonpapers and under the section entitled Barth I read! MR. HOOD PRINCIPAL OF WILMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL is very sick! Grieving over loss of bright- est boy in senior class! After wandering along a moon-country road I came to a group of moongliboys looking through moongloscopcs at the earth, and having a grand time laura- ing at what they saw. I nonaged to procure a moongloscope and before my eyes I saw the good old earth. The sights were a little blurred so I adjusted them and behold there was the earth again in the year IQQQ. Well, well, I thought, here is a good chance to see what my old friends of WIL- LINGTON HIGH are up to. Using my new immortal powers I ordered my moonnloscope to focus itself upon Hawaii where I saw RICHARD MONTGOMERY and EILEEN POhTER living in a large purple hut where they have a full time job taking care of their twelve little Monties and their fruit store. My moongloscope traveled to Paris where I saw a hat designing shop owned and operated by ELEAHOR BOYD, she puts out the latest cre- ations. A sample of her work is lying in the front window. Here is the description of the hat: An airplane dropping bananas into a cider mill which produces stonejuice and is being sipped from the faucet by a Swiss Moun- tain Sailor. A bird flew by the window, looked at the hat and fell to the ground dead. Ny vision traveled with my moongloscope back to New York and saw BARBARA GAMMONS, HILDRED BISHOP, and ROBERTA HADLEY who have opened an agency for under-sized women on the eighth floor of the second building on twenty fifth street called HThe Guaranteed Height Bureaun. They specialize in helping women gain weight on their five-hundred acre health farm in Texas. MARION FOLEY and ELIZABETH CAVANAUGH, who own eight libraries in Massachusetts, have invented a soleless shoe for women as a means of ventilation for their feet on hot summer days and are living happily from the profits they have received from their bril- liant brain work. MAUELINH LYON3 and PATRICIA REAGAN are owners of a store they built called The In- visible Writing Pen Company. They special- ize in goods of their own creation as the inkless pen guaranteed not to blot. MARY McGLhSHING, who is now married to her sailor, has put a Nothingless Chewless Chewing Gum on the market and has become rich by selling a large quantity of nothing. BOBBIE WARE owns her own garage and has become a master at changing flat tires. My moongloscope moved to Lowell and I saw a beauty saloon operated by PATRICIA COULTER and HELEN BEDELL. Here at the shop they take the wrinkles from ladies faces. Those quiet girls of WILMINGTON HIGH, ELAINE MURRAY and JULIE DAYTON are now neigh- bors on Lowell Street where they take care of their home and family and talk most of the day over the backyard fence about their husbands. JEAN STEVENS cultivated a great know- ledge of fire arms and became manager and owner of a shooting gallery, giving expert instructions in target practice, once in eight months herself hitting the nbull's eyen. JANET GOMES has published fourteen novels and her latest book is entitled nHow to Fry an Egg in the Ice Boxu. JOSEPH MOONEY who quit the laundry busi- ness in now a jockey at Suffolk Downs riding donkeys. He won the Slow Motion Race Medal in his last race, the track was so muddy that the donkeys had to use periscopes. The mocngloscope travels to Lake Michigan where a great engineering feat has just been completed by WILBUR SHELDON and EDSON MACKEN- ZIE who have built a half-mile wide bridge across the lake from Manitowac, Wisconsin to Ludington, Michigan. GUS BLAISDELL is coaching the football team at lichagan College and his wife BETTI IARTINO teaches the horses at the 'Lose Weight Livery Stable' how to dance the 'La Conga'. TOMMY HAYNES is now the World famous radio sports commentator who has traveled to all the continents to give his opinion on sporting events. JAMES ' SHERLOCKH PIPES, who left the dairy business, because a magnificent de- tective and finally after careful research, discovered who was buried in Grant's Tomb. As my moongloscope traveled back to the old home town something in the air attract- ed my attention, Yesl, it is an airplane and it is heading for the WILMINGTON AIR- PORT. The President of this establishment is WILLIAM JENSON who steps out of his office onto the field to welcome the pas- sengers home. The pilot ALICE HALEY and her co-pilot DEBORAH MOTSCHMAN thrust their heads out of the pilot window and Bill gives them a hearty welcome. The door of the plane is opened by AGUSTUS McLAUGHLIN who is a co-owner of the airport. Gus spends his day off hunting and fishing. The passengers began to step out. Well, it looks as if some of my old friends have taken an interest in air travel. The first to appear in the doorway is MARY TESSI CINI who has just come from Africa where she has been writing poems for Chief DR. RICHARD BEDELL the leader of a group of African doctors who are studying rare flowers. The three chorus girls, ANN LACY, DORIS v:ILKINs, and VIRGINIA DAY, appear, they have come from the Republic of Argen- tina where they dance and sing for Presi- dent Senor LENORD CUNNINGHAM who has been entertaining ROBERT WAGSTAFF, owner of a travel resort, and his wife MARGARET ANDER- SON celebrating their eleventh wedding anniversary. NORMA MURRAY has arrived from Cuba where she is owner of a large cattle ranch. ELAINE KLEYNEN, DOROTHY MALONE, and PHYLLIS O'BRIEN now appear in the doorway. These girls who studied so hard in school are now enjoying a life of liesure touring the world giving lectures on such problems as: 'How Women Should Dress In Order To Attract The Whistles Of Passing Gentlemen'. ELEANOR CUOCO and ALICE GALKA have returned from the Antarctica where they teach ballet lessons to penguins. Outside the airport RICHARD BLAKE has a taxi business. He is driving away from the stand in his latest designed car at a cruising speed of 129 miles an hour with WILLIAM SULLIVAN and DOROTHY WEATHERBEE in the back seat who are on their way to the marriage license bureau. Sully is a school teacher at Boston College. IRWIN SQUIBB bought the old WILMING- TON HIGH SCHOOL and converted it over into a garage where he is making a good business repairing Blake's bruised cars. DANIEL WANDELL now has the most friends, he owns a pool parlor at the head of Silver Lake and ROBERT MULLARKY, who spent six years in the United States Army, his partner, has charge of their bowling alleys across the street. I now take a quick glance to Washing- ton D. C. and sitting behind a black maho- gony desk in the White House is WILLIAM KEEFE who rose to the rank of Rear-Admiral nine weeks after leaving Navy Boot Camp in l9A6. He is dreaming of his next weekend hunting trip to Peru. My moonglosoope again travels back to the old home town and at the WILMINGTON CEMETERY, LAWRENCE HARRIMAN is making a speech, for one of his friends who was a radio enthusiast which goes like this: 'Here lie the remains of a radio fan, Unmourned by his many relations, nothing. Apparently it had nothing more to tell me. And then my alarm clock rang. Alarm clocks on the Moon! Certainly not. I awoke groggily and looked at the calendar for three whole minutes and discovered it was the 28th of May 1945. Oh, yes! I had set the alarm in order to wake up in time to finish my homework for Miss Farello's Physics Class. My trip to He went to a powder mill smoking his pipe, And was picked up by twenty-one stations.u With this my moongloscope faded away to the Moon was all a dream. Perhaps my class- mates aren't going to wind up in airplanes, Africa, taxicabs, garages, pool parlors or behing 3 desk. WHO KNOWS? CCJOIVIBS FURNITURE CO FURNITURE - RUGS 464 MIDDLESEX AVE.
