Marland and Mr. Ralph Ambrose, who have strived very hard to develop the youth in Wilmington High School. 1 Dedication We, the Class of 1951 of Wilmington High School, dedicate a page of our yearbook, The Old, the New and '5l , to Robert Detato, whose presence was desired by Him. Although our acquaintance with Bobbie ended in our seventh year of school, his memory will linger long in the hearts of his classmates. MR. STEPHEN G. BEAN Down the long, narrow, winding highways of life, only a choosen few are able to lead. Even though, we attain this honorary leadership we, too, must once again return to the ranks. It is said that men are forgotten but, their deeds never, and a worthwhile deed is a worthwhile memory. To us, you will deliver your last address and you may be sure that many will remember and abide by your advice. Many fall along the wayside, stumble over the milestones, or are tempted by the intriguing beauty of the side roads, while others obtain the goals they so aspire. May we ever keep in mind the words of that great playwright, Shakespeare, nThe fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are under1ings. To you, Mr. Stephen G. Bean, who have served Wilmington for the last twenty-seven years as Superintendent of School, We, the Class of '51, pay our due respects as you retire to the ranks of a peaceful and happy life with many pleasant memories to brighten your days. Graduates of 1951! My congratulations are offered to each and every one of you for having persevered in your efforts to complete your high school training. It is my hope and expectation that the skills, concepts, and attitudes, which you have learned at Wilmington High School during the last four years, will prove to be assets which will help you to meet your successes gracefully and your trials with more fortitude. We wish you every success.- George C. Kambour Principal 2? Ii Z B Mrs. Evelyn A. Anderson c.:.,,.9,., Art Supervisor Miss Shirley W. Bedell Mmm Home Econo ics.

One thou sand dollars has been raised through the magazine drive which was held in the fall of this year. v The program of the Student Council this year has included some kind of project every month such as, holding assemblies, observing courtesy and cleanliness weeks, sponsoring Red Cross, and March of Dimes drives, the New Year's Dance, and a beanie project. Members of the Student Council accompanied by Miss Farrello, the faculty adviser, attended conventions in Dedham in November, and Everett, in April.

Films and lectures were shown and given by the Registry Bureau. THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play this year was A Date with Judy. It was again directed by Miss Marland, who preceded in her usual effective manner. The cast started rehearsals in February, often taking advanta e of the stage in Room 102. The performance was given April lg, at Villanova Hall. This marked the first occasion that the Senior class presented its annual play there, and the excel- lent facilities were appreciated by all. Anne Frotten, as Judy, left nothing to be desired in her performance. She was supported by Marilyn Lynch, as Mrs. Foster, Rocco De Pasquale, as Mr. Foster, Glen Connelly, as Randolph and John Towski, as Oogie Pringle, all of whom were almost perfect in their roles. The rest of the cast also gave capable performances. The make-up artists, Miss Sharp and Mr. Donovan contributed greatly to the success of the play. The cast consisted of: Anne Frotten as Judy, Marilyn Lynch as Mrs. Foster, Rocco De Pasquale as Mr. Foster, Glen Connelly as Randolph, John Towski as Oogie, Loraine Kitchener as Barbara, Barbara Faulkner as Mitzi, John Cosman as Rex, Helen Calnan as Susie, Cynthia Hale as Eloise, Robert Darling as Mr. Martindale, Claire Moran as Mrs. Hotchkiss, Nancy Reid as Mrs. Schultzhammer, and Dolores Amaro as Hannah.

After a few weeks, everything was in full swing. Wilmington opened its season in October, playing its first game against Burlington. A good start was gained by our 12-O victory. The following week was again in the win column, with a thrilling 6-O victory over Johnson. Unfortunately the following Saturday Wilmington was upset by an underdog Chelmsford team 19-O. I Happily the next week the team bounced back with a riotous l4-15 victory over Ipswich. On the longest journey of the year the team traveled to Pinkerton Academy, but they failed to return victorious despite a good last minute try. The final score was 15-6. Then came our traditional game with an undefeated Tewksbury squad. After a low scoring first half the overpowering Tewksbury team broke the game wide open and finished on the long end of a 51-0 sco The High School closed its season with an exciting upset victory over the Alumni. This marked the first victory the High School has ever had over the Alumni. ' .X .

Y-- X N V, X,--Zia?-ff CLASS HISTORY As we roll back the pages of the past, we, the Class of 1951, bring back fond memories of our high school days. In 1947, we became freshmen and were faced with the task of adjusting ourselves to a different kind of student life. We did not elect class officers, but were rep- resented in the Student Council by Donald O'Connell, Marilyn Lynch and Frank Warren. Our most outstanding activity in this year was selling Curtis magazines and winning prizes in return. We wished we could have held our own dances during this year, but enjoyed the others just as much. Glen Connolly and Doris Collyns joined us during this year. This ended our freshman year with a good start to the top. After an enjoyable sum er vaca- tion, we were ready to start our Sophomore year, confronted with many vnew activities. Meeting for the first time as a class under the guidance of our capable advisor--Mr. Ambrose-- we elected officers to represent us throughout the year. They were as follows: President, Donald O'Connell3 Vice-President, John Tilleyg Secretary, Anne Frotteng and Treasurer, Dorothy Sharp.

Marilyn Lynch PROPHECY Fifteen years since the class of '51 started on their journey into the world have passed. It is the day of the newly completed Wilmington High School Auditorium. As I sit reading' through the program of the evening, I see that the master of ceremonies is none other than Arthur Elfman, District Attorney of Middlesex County. The opening speech for the evening is delivered by Fred Leverone, Super- intendent of schools in Wilmington. Now we see Glen Connolly, our Town Manager, and Chief of Police, Cy Sur- rette finishing their brief talks. We are entertained by some of the famous actors and actresses of the time. They are putting on a beautiful three act play, and the cast includes such famous stars as Cynthia Corneliussen, John Cosman, and Dorothy Sharp. - After the opening speech, the cur- tains are drawn back to present the honored guests of the evening, the faculty of Wilmington High. Reading from left to right they are: William Sanborn, Principal, Janet Condrey, Dolores Amaro, Nancy Reid, and Pat ' MacFeeley, Office Assistants, Helen Calnan, School,Dietition, Marylu Baxter, Music Teacher, Richard Roth- well, Boy's Shop Training, Donald O'Connell, Boy's Athletic Coach, Liz Lynch, Girls' Athletic Instructor, and last I see nRockyn O'Keefe Caliveb and Working as the school janitor. Besides these honored guests, there are many of the outstanding men of the town there to say a few words to the people. . After the entertainment, we are invited to the cafeteria for some re-' freshments. While seated at my table, I noticed that the cook is none other than Ruth Efraimson from the El Plaza. Barbara Draper, a waitress at the Towers is also serving some of the meal. As the meal is being served, I rec- ognize the fact that many of my old' classmates have traveled a great dis- tance to come to the dedication. They are: Willie Whalen from his ranch in Texas, Vernon Walsh from Annapolis Training Base, Sam Thorpe from his Chicago car salesroom, Roland Smith ' from his California Laundry Diaper Service, Phillip Fisher from his Iowa' Spaghetti Company, Frank Humphrey from his boxing camp up in Maine, Gerald O'Reilly from his New York Hock Shop, Henry Danico and Robert Darling from the band at the Stork Club, Dan Boylen from Notre Dame Track Squad, .amd Richard Pivirotto from his rest home in the Rockies. Many of my classmates couldn't come, I was told, because they had to take care of their children. Others had, to keep supper warm for their husbands who worked late. The.happliy married include: Joyce Eaton, Barbara Faulk- ner, Ann Branscombe, Helen Sheahan, Lorraine Forrest, Cynthia Hale, Bar- bara Hughson, Martha Rooney, Anne Frot ten, Barbara Palombi, Dolores Landry, and Alice Canelis.. The meal is now over and the people who have tried so hard to make the event a success are acknowledged with a round of applause. They include: Arlene Fiorenza of the decorating com- mittee, Louise Gove of the program committee, and Harold Clements of the ticket committee. U As I leave I meet Fred Ward. After heltells me how things are going at his Marriage Bureau, I inquire to find out if he knows how any of our class- mates in the armed forces are making out. Fred says that Rocco DePasquale is with the Army in Texas, Carl Back- man is an instructor in Florida, and Betty Kobylis is doing well in the Wacs. Whild riding down the street from the meeting, I enjoy the many lights of the large stores of the town. Many of the names are familiar to me, as establishments of members of my old class., They are the following: Robert Sheehan's Undertaker's Shop, Roger Smith's Gas Station, John Towski's Ladies' Apparel, Tom McMahon's Drug Store, Claire Moran's Road Stand, Lionel Baldwin's Ice Cream Parlor, Della Cuoco's Taxi Service, Lars Christiansen's Garage, Lucille Bour assa's Beauty Parlor, Mona Crispo's Laundry, and Loraine Kitchener's Bakery Shop. As I turn into my driveway, I see Leona Porter, Madge Field, and Jean Tovey coming home from their night shift at the hospital. After climbing in bed, I thought back to the good old days of school in 1951 41 4' . f . ,.. ns 'nn ,Q Av MWA w,,,,fw ww ..,,,,, WW..
