Wilmington, outweighted by a highly favored Chelmsford team gamely fought to the end, finally losing 12-0. Wilmigton breaking into the win column outplayed Northbridge team to the tune of 20-0. Wilmington journeying to Johnson enjoyed its second win of the season by the score of 7-0. In the tradi- tional rivalry of the year, the Blue and White, having outplayed Tewksbury up to the half, finally dropped the game 12-0 due to bad breaks. .A-14- I Q 'L J .r XxN V Q I .s.1 -,M , , Y r 4 1 u I r X 3 I4 s 1 A Xxx.

Although this year's record was not too impressive, a winning team is expected for next year. The following boys played on the first team: Robert Smith Ralph Tarricone Knute Backman Karl Detato Frank Spears Thomas Coombs l I l l 1 w 1 EIB u 4 I3 Z Tr HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1953 We, the Class of 1953 entered Wilmington High School in September, 1949. As we look back on that day, we can remember that we entered the school doors with high hopes, a little amazement and fear. Once we became familiar with the school, our freshman days became quite simple. This fact proves only that which has often been pointed out to us, only the unknown holds fear. The seniors proved the fact that they held some authority in the school by being the first class in many years to initiate the Freshmen. We took part in the initiation just as we should have, which proved that the Class of 1953 was made up of good sports. In our freshmen year we held our first class meeting and elected the follow- ing officers: President, Frances Delaney, Vice-President, Ann Moriarty, Secre- tary, Gene Hovey, and Treasurer, Madeline Emery. Our capable Student Council representatives were: Mary Letellier, Arthur Lynch, and Thomas Pilcher. We also took part in the Camera Club's annual Winter Carnival. This event was a semi-formal dance at which a king and queen were crowned. Each class elected two representatives to be attendants to the king and queen. The Class of 1953 was represented by Francis Delaney and Gene Hovey. As we prepared to enter our Sophomore year many changes in our High School took place. A new high school building was built on Church Street. We began our Sophomore year in a fine, new building and our minds were filled with fine, new ideas. New additions to our faculty were Mr. 0'Doherty as our new coach, also Mr. DeLuca, Miss Bedell, Mr. Tessicini, Mr. Durling and Miss Kelley. Welcomed members to our class were Barbara Bronson, Beverly Berkley, and Robert Finn. Our class officers for our Sophomore year were the following: President, Arthur Lynch, Vice-President, Margaret Calnang Secretary, Mary Letellier and Treasurer, Ann Moriarty. Our Student Council representatives were: Margaret Calnan, Kathleen Hoban, Arthur Lynch and Evelyn Robbins. At Christmas time, we presented our first dance, The Rudolph Jamboree. This gave us our first chance to entertain the complete student body. We present- ed a fashion show as entertainment. The dance was declared a marked success. In our Sophomore year, a May Day was again planned for sometime during the month of May. Two girls from each class were chosen to be attendants to the Senior girl, who was Queen. Margaret Calnan and Beatrice Fenlon represented the Class of 1953. We were now about to enter our Junior year, and we were declared upper- classmen. We had completed our Freshmen and Sophomore years with what we hoped was success, and now looked forward to our Junior and Senior years with high hope and enthusiasm. As we entered our Junior year Mr. Clifford Good, replaced Mr. Stephen G. Bean as Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Bean retired after 27 years of service. Other changes in the faculty were: Mr. McMahon as our new principal, and Mr. Driscoll as our new sub-master. New additions to the faculty were Mr. Barrett, Miss Dailey, Mr. Harris, Mr. Hoag, Miss Kelley and Miss Mulcahy. Welcomed members to our class in our Junior year were: Charles Emmons, Helen MacDonald and Allan McCormack. Our class officers for our Junior year were as follows: President, Arthur Lynch, Vice-President, James Cuoco, Secretary, Beatrice Fenlon, and Treasurer, Madaline Emery. We were capably represented in Student Council by James Cuoco, Beatrice Fenlon, Kathleen Hoban, Arthur Lynch and Cynthia Peters. The girls, as is the custom in the Junior year, were permitted to try out for the cheerleading squad. Five of them were chosen. They were: Anne Bennett, Margaret Calnan, Mary Letellier, Ann Moriarty and Virginia Stevens. Representing our class at the May Day program in our Junior Year were Virginia Stevens and Janice White. During our Junior year we presented two dances, each of which was declared successful. In May we joined with the Seniors to sponsor the Junior - Senior Prom. The prom was held at the Meadowbrook Country Club and everyone agreed that it was the social event of the year. Loring Studio, was chosen as our class photographer. They did an excellent job in portraying the feature events that took place in our Junior and Senior years. Our class jewelry was designed by Lauren-Murchison. Theywpresented an attractive display of rings and pins. The crest which appears on the class rings will also appear on the cover of our Yearbook. We have at last reached our Senior year. It seems only yesterday that we entered Wilmington High School as timid Freshmen, but now we are proud, con- fident Seniors. All of us have some definite plans for the future, whether they be in the form of dreams, which we intend to make come true, or whether they have already begun to materalize. Welcomed members to our faculty in our Senior year were Miss Trantifilou, Miss Marshall, Miss Gibbons and Mr. Baglione. Mr. Ralph T. Ambrose was welcom- ed back to Wilmington High School. The Class of 1953 was especially glad to have Mr. Ambrose back as he will prove a great help to us in our Senior year. Our class officers for our Senior year were: President, Allan MacMulling Vice-President, James Cuocog Secretary, Anne Bennett, and Treasurer, Madaline Emery. The elected representatives to Student Council were Verlie Eaton, Beatrice Fenlon, Kathleen Hoban, Mary Letellier, Arthur Lynch and Cynthia Peters. We had a great deal of work to do in our Senior year. Our capable Yearbook Staff produced the best Yearbook that this school has ever seen. We conducted school dances all of which were successes. The Seniors under the expert guidance of Miss Marland presented the play, Mister Co-Ed, by Esther Olson. Everyone who saw the play agreed that the Seniors did an excellent job. As we are the Seniors this year, the May Queen will be chosen from our class. Virginia Stevens was chosen to be May Queen and Margaret Calnan and Janice White were chosen as attendants. The Junior-Senior Prom was held in the Winchester Music Hall. The Hall was a beautiful place and created an excellent atmosphere for a thoroughly en- joyable evening. For our class outing we took a trip to Hampton Beach. This proved to be a most enjoyable day for all the members of the Senior class. In the years to come this day, will be among our most cherished memories. As the all-important graduation and reception are just around the corner, we wish to thank those teachers who have done so much to show us how to take our rightful place in the world. We thank you for a job well done! Our four years in high school have been very short, yet every day of these four years has been crowded with events. When the members of our remarkable class have all achieved fame and honors that are bound to come to them, the memories of these four years will linger in the hearts of each one. We shall in the years to come, earnestly strive to live up to our Class Motto, BE NOT MERELY GOOD, BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING. We the Class of 1953, wish the succeeding classes that graduate from Wil- mington High School, the same good fortune, happiness and pleasure that we enjoyed. Kathleen Hoban PROPHECY It is now 1970. After my return from my trip to Honolulu, I thought I'd stop in and see the now fast-growing city of Wilmington. I boarded a plane at Honolulu, and when I entered, I saw that the pilots were ROBERT RUSSELL and VERNON ELLIOTT. When I took my seat, I sat on some stationery, and to my surprise, the letterhead was that of the famous novelist JOAN BAKER, who was sitting beside me. The stewardesses, SHIRLEY WHITE and SALLY BICKFORD, were trying to quiet the children of Mr. and Mrs. KNUTE BACKMAN, the former RACHAEL BOURBEAU. The young ladies wanted the children in their seats until after take-off, but all was in vain, they jumped out of their seats, and ran to bother that famous actress, ANN MORIARTY, and her agent, MARY LETELLIER. Well-known models, VIRGINIA STEVENS, JANICE WHITE, and ANN BENNETT, brushed by after talking to their publicity agent, AL BONACCORIS. In front of me there were DEBORAH MANSON, VER- LIE EATON and BARBARA BRONSON, a college professor and two nurses, re- spectively. When after landing at the huge Billerica - Wilmington Airport, I hailed a passing cab, the doorman, EDWARD FULLER, opened the door and told taxi driver, BILLY BUSINEAU, my destination, Wilmington Square! On the way, a jalopy passed us, ROBERT PALMER and ALLAN MacMUL- LIN were on their way to GENE HOVEY'S TV Broadcast, starring those girls about town, MADELINE EMERY and VILMA BEDELL. BILLY WOODS, Air Force man, and Marine MICKEY McKENNA, were on the other side of the road, hitch-hiking when along came a car which stopped beside them. It was that pretty debutante, MARGIE CALNAN, in her new black convertible. Wilmington Square! Big and prosperous it stood with many large depart- ment stores and that famous restaurant, Bea's and Kay's. It was formerly George's, but now it is owned by none other than those two, BEATRICE FEN- LON and KATHLEEN HOBAN. In the window of RICHARD CUSHING'S Shoe Store was a sign by world- famous artist, SONJA CHRISTIANSEN, announcing the re-opening of an inn in Maine owned by IRENE WICKS, DOROTHY MURRAY and MARY LOU SWAIN. ln the store were career girls, HELEN MacDONALD, LORRAINE WHITE and MURIEL RYDER, each buying a pair of shoes. Next, I went down the street past all the huge department stores to an exclusive millinery shop owned by none other than HELEN ELIA, AUDREY ARBO and PHYLLIS FOLEY. It was right next door to MARTELL and MARTINO'S Sport Store. In the shop, DOTTIE ROGERS and GWENDOLYN RICE, teacher and medical technician, were arguing with salesgirl, JEANNE TRACY, about the price of something, when floor-walker, DONALD OTIS, settled the matter. I went to the restaurant for some lunch. The hostess, BEVERLY BERKELY, led me to my table which happened to be next to that of Mr. and Mrs. ARTHUR LYNCH, the former CYNTHIA PETERS. These two fastidious patrons were talk- ing with college professor, PAUL THIEL and college student, TOMMY PILCHER about the military service. Why, speaking of service, there across the room were those two Marines, RITA MORAN and JOAN HARRIS, giving their orders to the waitress, along with housewife, DOLORES GUILIANI. I started to eat my lunch when an uproar arose from the kitchen, and the head chef, ROBERT FINN, branish- ing a bread knife, came running out chasing cooks, BOB THORPE and THOMAS COOMBS, for playing dice and not waiting on tables. After eating, I rose to go to the cashier's desk to pay my check when one of the proprietors went over to reprimand cashier, CATHERINE WOODS, for not making the good-looking men pay their checks. I paid my check, and made my way to the Wilmington High School. Here I talked with Principal, DAVID SMITH, Assistant Principal, JAMES CUOCO, and Guidance Director, KARL DETATO. When I left, I passed the cafeteria where serviceman, ALAN McCOR- MACK and CHARLIE EMMONS were lecturing on the service. Outside the building, a truck bearing the name, NEWHOUSE and KELLEY LUMBER COMPANY went by. Advertised on the side was a poster announcing the successful year of that Broadway play, Mister Co-Ed, starring that man, WOODY WASHBURN, and co-starring a new star, EVELYN ROBBINS. Well, here they are, some of them have climbed faster than others, but all have reached a certain degree of success and happiness. A BRIEF HISTORY OF EDUCATION Today is an eventful day in our lives. We are ending our high school life and are beginning a new life. Some of us will go on to college, and we shall learn to appreciate our high school days. We shall begin to support our government and our schools. The early colonists had a great desire to be educated, and they instilled this same desire into their children. They had their farm chores and work to do, but they still had a desire for an education, and they worked hard for it. The colonists recognized the need for free public schools, as do the parents today. The majority of the early schools were privately owned, and to be admitted into the school the parents had to have enough money to send his child. The students who did attend these schools majored in Latin, and for this reason the schools became known as Latin or grammar schools. Today, however, there are a great many more public schools than private schools. The first law for compulsory education was passed in 1647, by the Massa- chusetts Legislature. It required a town of 50 families to support an elementary school, and a town of 100 families to support a grammar school in which the boys could be prepared for college This law was a great aid in getting the schools built, but there was no law compelling the children to attend school, and conse- quently there were children who did not attend classes. This law, however, did not state how the school was to be supported. Some of the schools were supported by wealthy citizens, income from land leased by the town, or income bequeathed to the town. In 1657, the General Court authorized towns of 50 families which chose to run a grammar school to support it partly by rates, and it required towns of 70 families which had no such school to pay a fixed sum to the nearest town which had one. As many of the towns were not wealthy enough to support a school, they sent their children to the neighboring schools. This law also stated that the profits received from the fisheries were to be divided among the towns supporting such schools. The three major means of support were to be fixed revenues, tuition fees, and a town rate. The tuition fees could not bring in much money, because the people were too poor to send their children to school if they had to pay a tuition. The revenues alone could not support a public school, so they had to use all three l'fle3IlS. With the beginning of the 18th century, the settlers had much trouble with the Indians. The savages burned many homes, killed many people, and destroyed many towns. For some time after the Indian fights, the people were kept busy rebuilding their homes and their towns. There were also many people who moved into the unsettled land, which created a greater need for the development of schools. We have received our free education, and now whatever education that we receive will have to be bought. We have been prepared for college or commer- odal work, and we shall try to succeed in our chosen fields. Our twelve years in school have been both happy and interesting. We now come to the parting with our friends and though we may not see many of them for many years, they will still remain in our minds. We shall make new acquaintances, but shall never forget the old. Helen Elia Members of the School Committee, Mr. Good, Mr. McMahon, members of the faculty, honored guests, parents and friends. I wish to convey to you, from the Class of 1953, a sincere welcome. OUR WORLD This graduation is only one of the many things you have shared with us. From the time of our first year of school to the present, you have told us to study and to enjoy school because it was the best years of our lives. Now comes the long awaited time for us, graduation-the time when school work is, for the time being, done, and we are free to go our way. Even though our friends and parents tell us that high school days are the best days of our life, we don't realize this, now. When we look back to our High School days, however, we will probably agree with all of you. The diplomas we receive tonight not only mean the end of our so-called free education, but, for many of us, the end of learning by instruction. Now we must learn from experience. Each diploma certifies that the bearer has completed satisfactorily his supervised education. Years ago this would have been enough to obtain, for us a good position and enable a person to live a good life, but now, in these days of specialization, it is merely the beginning of an unending educa- tion. A diploma in our hands, simply means that we should now try to learn what we can in a practical way. This practical education will prove to be on an equal level with that of any other type of education. When we go to college we still will not gain the ultimate out of life in an educational sense. After college we shall have to face the task of transforming ourselves from students to young Americans. This transformation won't be easy, but with the memory of how we were brought up, our way will be made easier. Along with thousands of other high school graduates we are embarking on a life of mixed emotions, a life in which two ways of life are struggling. These two ways of life being that of Americanism, and Communism Americanism offers to its followers everything. Peace of mind, freedom of religion and freedom of thought, to mention a few. We in America do not think of these as any special freedoms, but let us go abroad and we would quickly change our minds. We have a government that is unequaled anywhere in the world. There is no monarchy to support as, in the case of other semi-democracies. Our government is one of the true democracies, one which we must protect along with others of its kind. If peace cannot be brought about between these two schemes of government there is only one alternative-that being to fight. Fighting is unnecessarily done these days, but if it comes we shall fight and be glad to do it. All through our lives, we have been aware of and appreciated your under- standing of our many problems. Many times our relations have become strained, but we were able to come out of these problems in good standing. We only hope that we can do as well with our own children as you have done with us. So again I wish to thank you, on behalf of the Class for coming tonight and we hope to live up to your expectations. All we ask is that you bear with us and help us, because we will need help and lots of it. PAUL WASHBURN BE NOT MERELY GOOD: BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING For many years, people have had incentives to urge them on and goals for which to strive. The same is true for the graduating Class of 1953. We, too, have an incentive. This is our class motto: Be Not Merely Good: Be Good for Something. This drives us on to be better and to do worthwhile things in this short life we have ahead of us. One incentive for doing something worthwhile is the possession of an ideal. This can be acquired or im- pressed upon a person in very early life and carried through his entire education. After completing his formal education, he should work- every day to accom- plish his goal and if he does that, he may do so before the end of his career. The inquiry might be made, What can we Seniors do to be worthwhile? The several answers are quite obvious, it seems to me: 1. We can work to better ourselves. I mean, by this, that we should do everything asked of us, and when we do not know the answers or wish to learn something new, we should search and inquire. 2. We can always do the best we know how. People will respect a person who tries and fails, much more than they will one who does not try at all. 3. We can help others who are in need of aid. We would feel sorry if we knew someone who needed help and we did not assist him. You probably have dis- covered this in your span of life. 4. We can prove to everyone that we really mean what we say, and are sincere in our ambitions: If one is not sincere or truthful, he cannot go very far, be- cause his lack of integrity shows whether he is aware of that fact or not. These are the answers to our ques- tions and if we follow, we in the Class of 1953 will be better. Another inquiry might be, Just how are these pur- poses carried out? The enlightened person can easily see that most of these purposes are carried out in the one final and complete accomplishment, that is, the achievement of your goals. One would be surprised at the effects this Being good for something idea has on society. People who are anywhere in social circles have a career or busi- ness and are worthwhile to their surroundings. One will win more admiration and respect, too, if he is good for something. Society is a strange thing, as you no doubt know by now. It can play tricks on one. For instance, one might try to get into the whirl as we call it, by falsely saying he has a career, but, before he, is really in, people investigate his background, and it is pretty difficult on a person caught in a falsehood. To sum up, I would say that in order for one to be good for anything at all, he must know a little bit about everything, there must be an incentive, he must have a bit of intelligence, determination, ambition, integrity, truthfulness, he must learn to apply himself in every instance, there must be present at all times a certain amount of respect and admiration for all who surround him. Always remember the golden rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And so I say again to you, the members of the gradu- ating Class of 1953, BE NOT MERELY GOOD: BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING.
