Miss Horner, who in her busiest moments always found time to speak to us personally that she might in some small way inspire us - Mr. Barrett, who contributed so much time and effort to the class and who made us realize many times our great responsibilities - Miss Marland, who was always willing to do whatever she could to make our class a most prosperous one through her efforts in the Senior Play and Yearbook. 764 dm Jew Me caamge, iff! sy , Y , 1 M51 5- U 4 if er 5: -wwf' X 3. , X ANDREW PUPA AS PRESIDENT of the Freshman Class you helped us set up the constitution which would guide us through our four years in hiqh school. ln your Sophomore Year you proved to be one ot the most popular boys in the Class ot '56.

COLLINS Superintendent of Schools One of the most important phases of your education just completed has been your study and practice of democracy. You have learned to appreciate the vital necessity of preserving the democratic way of life with its respect for the dignity and worth of the individual and its insistence upon individual liberties and the right of every person to seek the highest de- velopment of his own capacities. You have learned what dangers lie in totalitarian sys- tems, which. submerge the individual in the state and recognize no human liberties. It is your duty and privilege to spread the know- ledge and understandings you have gained, and to help preserve democracy by explaining its meaning and advantages. My final request of you, the members of the Class of 1956, of Wilmington High School, is that you will live according to the Golden Rule. HAROLD E. DRISCOLL Assistant Principal Congratulations to you, the Class of 1956, upon the successful completion of your high school career. For most of you, your formal ed- ucation has come to an end. For others, a col- lege degree will be earned by l96O. We have endeavored to provide you with the tools for a workable future. However, we now consider you a distinct unit, the Class of 1956, and as a unit, we pray that your success may be shared with others, your failures provide understand- ing and knowledge for yourselves, and that your eagerness, zeal and enthusircsm be never reduced by cynicism, despair and frustration.

The chess and cue met wit.h the approval of both teachers and students because chess is not only educational but a lot of fun when played correctly. The call for members was answered by the following, Ronald Raposo, Charles Rounds, Robert Matonis, Gerald Ma- loney, William Williams, Iames Kerr, Tom McAndrews, Iohn Kerr, Ross Coombs, Lawrence Foley, and Kenneth Lyons. The first object of the club is that the members learn to play chess correctly. This is done by theory class, then the application of the theory in actual games.

The football squad of Wilmington High School, under the direction ot Coach Constantine O'Dohe1'ty and Assistant Coach Iohn Ritchie, began in Sep- tember with high hopes for a successful season. Practice was postponed for two weeks because of the delay in school, but was immediately on its way, under the leadership of Co-Captains lay Palmer and Robert Branscombe, when schoo-1 commenced. The first game was played against Burlington at the ho-me field: the team went down in defeat, 14-7. Bernard Nally scored the only touchdown, with Iohn Amaro assisting for the extra point. Playing Ayer the following week, the boys lost by a score of 14-0 and continued lo-sing the next three games to North Andover, Wayland, and Dracut, all by high scores. With a change in the line- up and still plenty of determination, the team went to Phillips Academy, only to come out in the short end of the score, 19-12. In this hard-fought game, Wil- liam Hall, a converted guard-halfback, scored both touchdowns. The next game scheduled was the traditional one with Tewksbury, which turned out to be the hardest-fought battle of the season, ending with a score of 28-13, in Tewlcsbury's favor. The two touchdowns for our team were made by Sam Cavallaro and William Hall. Bill Hall was assisted by George Monroe for the extra point. The boys finished the season losing to Chelmsford 28-6, with William Hall going over for the only touchdown. 1997 .5 .L R I 5 gi if 55664 ' 2 3 f ' Q ,. , ,1f1Z:!Z,4L Seniors I A X Wilmington-Tewksbury Game 5 ,L , W'f 'm Q ,MTV Bernie Bob ' 43 W! , X tv ' wif Bob ul fin. , 5. lim 0 y 'pl' 'T Bob and Coao .Ag X N N 1 5 '-f MMI.

The early cave man depended upon his education for actual existence, and, as time passed, man's knowledge and desires grew. Because man became dissatisfied with his way of life, he began to plan for better things. Centuries passed, and man's scope of life kept increasing. He learned the use of firearms and Warships, and also the practical- ity of trade. Man learned much about the ge- ography of the earth, due to his intense curios- ity and his desire to extend the boundaries of his small world. Education has provided us with many things. It has given us language, so that we may converse with our friends and associates: it has given us a way of life, so that we may become independent and self-supporting: it has given us a desire to make our mark, to do something of which we can be proud. All of these advances were made through education. Each of us graduating here tonight realizes that he has received his basic background in education. For most of us, our school days are over. We recognize the fact that if we have done our best, we should be able to take our place in the world of today's business. Those of us who continue on to college will receive an even more intricate, detailed knowledge of the type of work we have chosen. This knowledge, must be made to work for us when our time comes to enter a certain delegated field. If we have not acquired as much education as we could, we must be content with our situ- ation and let others pass us by. Most of our present leaders in various fields have adapted to the changing world, and they realize that today's dreams will be tomor- row's realizations. Today's scientists, many of whom number among the most learned men C1117 GEORGIAN NA PARKS in the world, have high dreams for America's future. Many projects are being planned that will increase our knowledge, such as the inter- planetary flights which are no longer being ridiculed, but are actually be-ing thought of in terms of everyday life. Medical research also has many hopes for the future. Many Workers in laboratories have labored, tirelessly to provide us with new medicines and drugs that will help prevent sickness and prolong our lives. Without education, these men would be powerless to help prevent the ravages or disease. Their hopes for the future run high! Through today's modern methods of produc- tion, man's working hours are gradually being cut down. This reduces the toll taken on the human body, thus making it possible for man to live a longer, more useful life. All these fields need and require many more trained ex- perts - much more encouragement to con- tinue their work. We cannot let them down! We all must do our part! Because of today's modern education, the American family of the present is made up of highly intelligent individuals. They take pride in themselves, their homes and the other mem- bers of their families. Our economic' prosper- ity is a direct result of the unity of the home-- there must be peace and contentment in the home if there is to be peace and contentment in the nation. Through education and an un- derstanding of our fellow man, our prosperous cycle of life shall, and must continue! Georgianna Parks C-Sdfnzifpt .. THE END - AND THE BEGINNING Members of the School Committee, Mr. Col- lins, Mr. McMahon, faculty, parents and guests: The Class of 1956 extends to you a cordial welcome to this our graudation, the completion of our high school career. Our twelve years of schooling have been a long, slow climb, but we have now reached the top of Mt. Success. You ask, What is Mt. Success? To us it is reaching the highest peak after twelve years of preparation. lt is graduation. Here we are, one hundred two of us ready to go out and face responsibility. With all the juvenile delinquency and other such hindran- ces to the normal growth of a child, our parents had many anxious moments during our child- hood. When we were very young, you wor- ried about our acquiring the wrong habits, or if we got a cold, you rushed us to the doctors. Then you were 'presented with an additional worry when we started school. Would we make the right kind of friends? Would we ad- just ourselves to this new life? You were anxi- ous about us until we reached home after school each day. This went on for a number of years, until all of a sudden you realized that your son or daughter had matured quite rapid- ly, and you knew that it wouldn't be long be- fore he or she would be on his own. But when- ever anything goes wrong or we need advice, to whom do we run? None other than Mom or Dad. Many times I thought, as I know practic- 'ally every other boy and girl did, that you were trying to be domineering when you made us come home at a certain time, or felt that we were mingling with the wrong crowd. At times when we asked for money, you refused be- cause you said we did not appreciate its val- ue. We were often hurt because of this, and even went so far as to say you no longer loved us. lf we could only have seen ahead to this day, and realized that all of these rules and restrictions were for our own benefit, and to teach us something! That something we could not find in a book, but through the love of you, our parents, we were guided along the right path. You can sit back now and say, l have completed one difficult job and you can con- gratulate yourself for having helped your son 9 ,--is 'Q 'W BEVERLY BRYANT or daughter reach this one important peak in his or her life. You have worked hard to pre- pare us for a good future, and we have worked hard to make you proud of us. We could not have done it without your guidance and the guidance of our teachers. We also owe much to them! They were our substitute parents during school hours, teaching us and guiding us to choose the right career. Our parents put us in the hands of these trained people to teach us to think for ourselves and use intelligent reasoning. They. too, had to have patience and many of us tried to see how far their patience would go, but the teachers never gave up. We owe a great deal to both our parents and our teachers, and I am sure every one ci us graduating here tonight would now like to thank our parents, teachers, and friends for everything they have done for us, and we shall try to prove that you were right in having sc much faith in us. This is the beginning of a new life for us in which we shall have to do things for our- selves now instead of running to Mom or Dad or a teacher. We have been taught and trained well, so now we intend to show how well we have benefitted from this. Directly before us looms a steep path which I trust will not cause great difficulty to my fellow students and me. It is the path that leads to higher education and the business world. I hope the remainder of the journey and the goal will be as pleasant and success- ful as the beginning has been. So with a sorrowful but grateful heart, we bid goodbye to Wilmington High School whose pleasant memories will always linger with us. Beverly Bryant 2 3 .440 THE GREATEST INFLUENCES IN OUR LIVES An influence, whether it is present in the life of a child or a mature person, has the ten- dency to control his thoughts and actions with- out direct authority. A young child is suscep- tible mostly to good influences, but as he grows, he becomes exposed to several types. Through his education he is able to distinguish between influences which tend to minimize his sense of responsibility and to make him unaware of his democratic duty, and those which contribute to his development as an a- lert, responsible citizen. The earliest influence in the life of every child is his parents. Mother tries her best to teach the child the difference between right and wrong, and considers herself successful when he begins to behave and show respect. ln time of need, he runs to his mother for love and affection, which is the greatest healing power. The child's faith in his mother, and his confidence that she will soothe him, is the be- gining of a solid foundation they will build together in his childhood and he will continue to erect in his maturity. Wfhen a child reaches the first grade of school, he experiences the second great influ- ence, his teacher. To him she is much like his mother, and he begins to rely on her when his mother is not near. lt is here, in the pri- mary grades, that a child learns to adjust to existing conditions, meet new playmates and get along with children of his own age. As he advances in school he acquires certain skills, which he will have to use later in a discrimin- atory fashion. His teachers influence him in the hope that some day they will feel their tal- ents have not been in vain. He is taught re- sponsibility, respect, and cooperation. High school is considered the next great influence in the life of a growing child. In school he is expected to accept the responsib- ilities that accompany membership in his class and in various activities. -The modern high school has now planned a curriculum which enables its students to re- ceive the best preparation possible for adult- hood, college, and the business world. History courses teach the problems which our ances- tors met and how they overcame their difficul- ties for our benefit. It is thus the duty of a dem- ocratic citizen to provide for the future for the benefit of his children. He becomes aware of the complexities in this modern age and how jf ff. ,.., BARBARA ODIOBNE r to cope with them as a responsible person should, through economics and problems of democracy. Through mathematics, the sci- ences and English he learns the origin of the everyday objects around him, as well as how to think constructively, to reason logically and to act accordingly. This high school training will remain with him throughout his life, to aid him in recogniz- ing the difference between the good and bad influences surrounding him. He may feel jus- tified in himself now that he is capable of us- ing his eyes and ears with discrimination to separate harmful propaganda from truth, and sensationalism from common sense. He is able to- differentiate between the false reasoning of people who try to justify their rebellion to auth- ority or contempt forthe law, and an honest attempt to know thyself . He may now feel the security of profitting from previous mistakes in an effort to do what is right. Every member of a high school graduation class has successfully completed twe-lve years of the training necessary to- meet the respon- sibilities he must meet as a democratic citizen and an individual capable of serving his com- munity. We have been exposed to many type-s ot influences, both good and bad. Through all these trials and temptations, the love and faith that our parents, teachers and friends have had in us, has sustained us that we might become a credit to those who have served as guides and inspiration in moments of doubt and des- pair. We feel that they will always strengthen us when we falter, because they have given unselfishly of themselves to insure us the- prop- er training to draw our childhood to a close. We realize now that it was a difficult task for them and we shall always strive to be a credit to them and show them our deep appre- ciation. ' Barbara Odiorne C 1... THE LOG OF THE GOOD SHIP WILMINGTON 1956 First Cruise. Temperature: Cold and falling. Barometer: New all time low, the upper- classmen being the first to notice just how low. Wind: Very little. During September in the year 1952, under the orders of Captain Andrew Pupa, we set sail, seeing the old familiar stand-bys and land- marks fade into the distance, our course - the unknown seas of education. Appointing Iames Marsi, First Mate: Lois Hinxman, the Ship's Scribe, and lane Randell, Pay Master, the ship, W'ilmington 1956 was well on her way. All hands on deck was the call given by Miss Horner, the star by which our ship was first guided. Then the pails and mops were seen, and maties put the Wilmington 1956 shipshape. Boy! lt was rough, but by mid-year we able seamen found ourselves climbing hand over hand, for feet over feet in some casesl, up the rigging. With many of our fellow hands showing great promise in sports, and others scholastically, we headed towards one of the stopping points on our journey. 'Twas a blust- ering voyage at times, but with brief breezes and fair weather we docked at port, having lost only a few sailors over theside. The best was yet to come, for then the cry was given, Shore leave for three months! Second Cruise. Temperature: Warmer. Barometer: Rising perceptibly. Wind: Remarkably increased velocity. ln September of 1953, Navigator Sandra Harris got out her sextant and compass: off we were again! After assembling the crew, Elaine Bemis was appointed First Mate: Barbara Odi- orne, Ship's Clerk: and lane Randell remained the Pay Master. In no time at all we regained our sea legs, and were sailing full speed ahead into the French and English seas. The waves were very strong, and had even knocked a few of 17? L4 fam NANCY AN DERSEN the hands over. At Christmas, with a peace- ful sea and two bright stars tMrs. Murphy and Mr. Moriarty! to guide us, the crew of Wi1- mington 1956 sponsored The Mistletoe Swing , in the ship's ballroom. From the radio room we frequently re- ceived reports from our representatives: Nancy Andersen, Ieanne Ashworth, Patricia Bennett and Louise Carnes, who were active in the school government. All reports were favorable and indicated that our sports-like middies were making their Way successfully on the basket- ball court, ice rink, and later on the baseball field. With the appearance of spring came the unquestionable disease, spring fever. Many a midshipman's heart turned to love, and our vessel met with a dead calm. Never fear, me hearties , declared Mrs. Nichols, R. N., My supersonic tonic will cure what ails ye! Sure enough, a quick recovery was brought about, and Wilmington 1956 made port, colors fly- ing. Land and leave, Ahoy! Third Cruise. Temperature: Warm. Barometer: Still rising. Wind: Strong. With a Heave ho, me hearties! and with sails spread, we left on the third portion of our voyage in September of 1954 under the guiding stars of Mrs. Webber and Mr. DeLuca. Skipper Robert Matonis cast a traverse, having the full support of the other officers on the bridge, who were: Eileen Ingalls, First Mate: Barbara Odi- orne, Ships Recorder: and Martha Ross, Ship's Stewardess. - 1----- - 1 - -1- .,-,-- --1 -5- 4 5 For the most part we kept a steady course, buton.occaskn1ran Uno a:chennsUy'ortyynng storm which was usually accompanied by a shorthand squall. The chemists, hanging on to their test tubes, mixed some chemicals: the typist typed a few magical words, and then the sun appeared. Ah me maties, swab the deck and bail her out! With a trim ship, the ballroom doors were thrown open and two dances were held - one in November, The Turkey Trot : and the other in March, The Shamrock Shamble . During this, our third course, we accomp- lished much in the way of advancing in life and education. Aloft in the radio room, we learned that Frank DePiano was elected cap- tain of the football squad, and Bob Branscombe and Dick Moore were heading the baseball team. With this great news of our sportsmen, tand womenl, the crew was rearing to go, and just that they did, for it was full speed ahead. We landed in the port of EX-Iuniors after a somewhat sto-rmy, but pleasant voyage. For three months again, the sails remained lows ered. Fourth Cruise. Temperature: Balmy. Barometer: The needle is quivering. tl think the darn thing is broken.J Wind: High reaching gale forces in some pans September, l9557 We, the crew of the Wil- mington l956 , weighed anchor again for this, the fourth and last time. On the bridge, Cap- tain Bob Swanson corrected the distance and maintained the bearings. Elaine Bemis was standing by to relieve the captain at any time, and Barbara Cdiorne was jotting down all wor- thy events. Yes, as you probably guessed, Mar- tha Boss was trailing almost every sailor on board, trying her best to collect the dues. There is an old saying, All I ask is a tall ship and star to guide her by : well, we had the shipsand, fortunately for us, two .shining stars, Miss Horner and Mr. Barrett, to steer her by. Beaching the heights of her glory, our vessel sailed handsomely on and her crew was inclined, to some extent, to follow the same pro- cedure. Hot off the short wave came the news that we again had wonderful sportsmen among us. Bob Branscombe and lay Palmer were elected co-captains of the football squad, and Dick Ethier and Charles Bounds headed the basketball team, while Bob Swanson and George Clements led the way down to the hoc- key rink. Do not dismay fair ladies, for Ieanne Ashworth and Pat Bennett were elected to lead many other capable maties in manning the fighting top , for both the field hockey and the basketball teams. Throughout this cruise, a powerful search- light was focused on many newly acquired additions. Among these were the Foreign Lan- guage Club, Honor Society, Science Club and the Dramatics Club. During its search on the sea of activities, the light passed over many times the members of the Student Guide Asso- ciation drawing attention to their outstanding qualities of leadership, dependability and school spirit. To bring our journey to a close, the crew, under the guidance of Miss Marland first pro- duced and directed the play, lt's All In Your Head , and then with the help of a near-by ship of Iuniors, the maties undertook the pleas- ant duties of planning and making a success of the lunior-Senior Prom and supper. An order from the Captain, Take in the sail and throw out the anchor! Yes, we reach- ed our destination and the time came for us to part, but never finer and happier memories can a ship hold, than does the Wilmington 19- 56 . The good old ship is safely set at dock, but it will not remain there forever, for in the years to come, many a reunion cruise will be taken and the events of Wilmington l956's past will unfold in the mind of every member of her loyal crew. Nancy Andersen Clare Wm ec? of 1956 As I sat in the gaily decorated law office of Harris, Williams, and Kitchener, a piercing ring of the telephone broke the stillness. By means of a long distance call from Wilming- ton, my old home town, I heard the pleasant voice of my former school-mate, Louise Carnes. who is now a telephone operator. She con- nected me to a party by the name of McKinney. Sheila to be specific, the proud owner of Wil- mington's only day nursery, IN BY NINE, OUT BY FIVE. I was to be ready when a special taxi came for me. No sooner had I said good- bye, when a low car came roaring up to the building. Bob Matonis opened the door, and I climbed in. I didn't have long to talk to Bob, as we were stopped for speeding just inside Wilmington's limits. Sergeant Leo Brennick. along with officers Frannie Brisbois. Richard Harnish, and Frankie Stone. got out of the car. Seeing who it was, they gave us a warning, and went on their way. Bob told me I was to stay overnight at Randell and Bemis' testimonial dinner for Ieanne Ashworth. see lane and Elaine hotel: after ten years wonderful people! I more appropriate for Hotel, after attending a that famous skating star, It was wonderful to again on arriving at the they were still the same changed into something the dinner, and all three of us went over to the enormous town auditorium. The dinner soon got under way, with a brief, inspiring talk by Reverend Father Iames Lawrence, on the troubles with which every person living today is faced. After a delightful meal, the mayor of Wilmington, Andrew Pupa. along with that world renowned educator and lecturer, who overcame the many obstacles fate placed in her path to success, Louise DeLis1e, made speeches enjoyed by everyone. Following Andrew and Louise's addresses, leanne made the closing speech, then came over and we talked of old times together in school, thus ter- minating the evening. I came back to the hotel, and went to my room for a little relaxation. This idea was soon abandoned, however, at a knock at the door. Teddy Smith, now a brush salesman, convinced me that I just couldn't do without an Ipsi Pipsi book brush. The next morning, when I awoke, I found Sheila waiting for ine. On the way to the courthouse, she explained her problem to me. She said she could've sworn that the clutch was .etr ,. , t r 0 ,U ,- 4 I I 'Vi , ' Tj i t d- I SANDRA HARRIS the brake, when she stepped on it and released the gears, letting the car roll free. Her enorm- ous car went crashing into Leonard's Bake Shop, and Pat burned all her muffins, her day's supply. Pat was suing Sheila for her burned muffins, and Sheila wouldn't pay! Sheila claimed they made cars the wrong way - with the brake being on the wrong- side. She was my client, and I was supposed to win her case for her! We arrived at the courthouse by means of the TOWN'S TWO TIRELESS TAXIS owned by Richard Moore and Iames Marsi. and we were greeted by clerk of courts, Rob- ert Reed. I entered the court-room, and was confronted with the jury, composed of twelve prominent town members. lack Paul. town en- gineer, Georgianrna Parks. head of the English Department at the high school: Charles Rounds. dentistg Robert Sweet. candy-maker, Nita Von- Kahle. registered nurse: Pat Bennett, head of school athletics.: Lorraine Richard. author ot the newspaper column, 'FRANK FACTS FOR FAMILY F EUDS 5 Carol Casey and Venie Mel- zar, important school committee members: Marion Carr. owner of the town's Amusement Arcade, Francine Boudreau. town librarianp and Edna Burns, proprietor of the Beauty Gar- dens Salon, in Wilmington Square. I greeted them all, and took my seat at the front of the court-room to see my adversary - there sat Nancy Andersen beside Pat. So, she had be- come a lawyer, too! This promised to be an intriguing case! just then, the whole court rose to honor the judge who was making her entrance. By this time, I was pretty well resigned to shocks, but this one was a little too much for me. Barbara Odiome. my old school chum, took the judge's bench and rapped the gavel to begin. I had to sit down after this one! Imagine, Barb a judge! Well, life plays some funny tricks on us! C116 7 Ro-bert began the case by swearing in Pat as the plaintiff. The witnesse-s followed next. Nancy brought Richard Ethier and Iohn Paine. local truckdrivers, to the stand, along with the following, to testify in Pat's behalf: Iohn Wilson. town druggist: Sally Higginbotham. well known debutantep Lester Chisholm and Ralph Chis- holm. brother breeders of a new breed, THE SMINK , a cross between a skunk and a minkp Chris Curtin.

Even the editor, Richard Cavallaro. with his two associates, namely, Malcolm Iones. and Peter Enos. were called to the stand. Also, Ronald Raposo. salesman for Loans and Leases, Inc., owned by Francis Kaszynski: and Thomas Grinley. master mechanic for Damie's Garage, now owned by Ernest Ierrett. From time to time, I noticed the exchange of daggers in the competitive glances between Richard Cavallaro, edior of THE ALPHA , and Iarnes Kerr. editor of the CRUSADER , who was backed up by four of his associates, and three of his star reporters, Iames Gass. Iohn Hartnett, Lois Hinxman. Harold Mc.Phee. and Barbara Cole. Mary McCormack. and Ellen Pilcher. re- spectively. During a five-minute breather, court re- corder, Ann Gatta. made a vain attempt to quiet the lively children of some of the housewives viewing the case. When I turned around, I saw Maureen McKenna. Irene Rogers. Ioan Molway. Pauline Moriarty. Dorothy Reardon. Pat Rooney. and Martha Park. literally falling over each other trying to aid Ann in rounding up their little monsters! I had stepped outside for a moment to clear my brain o-f the stuffy courtroom atmos- phere, when I spied the town funeral home. Outside was the sign, FEEL -DEAD TIRED? THEN COME RIGHT IN! YOU'RE NOT A- LONE! , proprietors, Robert Swanson. Bernard Nally.. William Hall. and James Crehan. At this, I had to laugh - those characters! In the second session, witnesses for Sheila were brought forth. They were as follows: Martha Boyle. now a vivacious airline hostess for P. A. A.p Rebecca Emery. Dorsey Kelley, and Lorraine Fidler. movie stars for M. Cf. M., with their manager and producer, Robert Bar- rett. and Fred Robbins. George- Clements, Ste- phen Tucker. and Alton Syvertson, pilots for the Wilmington Airport on Burlington Avenue: Iarnes Dawson. share owner in Sunnyhurst Dairyp Rosalie Cuoco. and lean Lewis, partners in the Italo-American Restaurant, specializing in Chinese food. Rosalie owns the Italo, and jean, the Americang as for the Chinese, no one ever could figure out where that came from. Next came the tap dancer, Charles Rooney. along with art teacher, Iames Palmer. and Mar- tha Ross. secretary to the principal of the high school: Albert Roberts was also on hand, in his new fire department suit, along with famous stock car drivers of the new Wilmington Rac- ing Arena, Donald Devlin, Ronald Fuller. Ger- rald Devlin. and William Doucette, who gave their experienced opinions on the situation. Uuno Stone. and Nagel Stone. the brothers who are currently carrying on for the Smith Broth- ers in their cough concern, gave cut free samp- les of their product to everyone present. Nur- ses Beverly Bryant. Dorothy DeFelice. and Wa- nece Chislett were next to last to be heard from. Last, but not least, was registry man, Robert Cosman. Nancy then summarized for the jury, after which I gave my final plea. Barb then dis- missed the jury to find a verdict. After some deliberation, the jury filed back into the court- room and Pat Bennett announced a hung jury. This verdict left it up to Iudge Odiorne to de- cide. Rapping the gavel for attention, Barb announced that she would like to have the manufacturers of Sheila's cor step forward. Robert Branscombe. and Ioseph Rexford imme- diately appeared before her. Barb continued in a low, fair voice, telling them that, from the evidence viewed, she wholeheartedly agreed with the jury, that the fault did not lie in Sheil- a's driving, and so Pat could not claim a case against Sheila. Since Pat should be paid for her muffins, however, the court had come to a logical decision. In view of the fact that cars are made with such a tremendous amount of unnecessary speed and power, and also be- cause of a highly complicated instrument pan- el, the manufacturers would be obligated to pay any debts incurred to Miss Leonard as a result of this accident. Barb did not stop here: she gave the guilty parties a piece of valuable advice, this being a design a new type car for pedal. At this, a slight giggle broke the stag- women - clutch, brake and gas all in one nant air, and Barb adjourned court. ' Nancy and I shook hands, and all were happy! Iudging from this court-case scene, just witnessed, I think you will agree with this con- clusion. The class of '56 heeded well its mot- to, THERE IS NO VICTORY WITHOUT EE- FORTH, for certainly all of our members have gone on to attain in life the success that they wished and warranted.
