' Ex EtbrtH NINETEEN FORTY-FOUR Jlie Winchester High School The Senior Class For the past four years, we the members of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-four, have lived in a world torn apart by turmoil and strife. We have labored under the handicaps war places before us, and we have done our best to overcome them. We have indirectly witnessed the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” caused by war, and we have done what we could to help. Now, at last, it is our turn to enter directly into this fight for life, liberty, and permanent peace. What we have been trained to do on the athletic field we pledge to do on the battlefield, — give up only when the final gun is fired. It is our sincere hope that five or ten years from now, when we pick up this ABERJONA 1944, to look back on our high school activities, we may be secure in a world of peace and good brotherhood among all nations and all people. . . . Leader . . . Mathematician . . . Friend whose unsurpassable combination of a pleasing disposition and a brilliant mind has won our admiration and respect, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-four pay tribute with the dedication of our Abcrjona.

Here at Winchester High School we were fortunate to be able to work under teachers who have been not only well versed in their partic¬ ular line, but also understanding and willing to help us at all times.

The excellent records our many clubs have compiled are in no small way accreditable to good faculty supervision. Al¬ though students do the majority of the work, the wise information and advice handed out so unselfishly by the advisors is of extreme import¬ ance. It is needless to say that this faculty has made impressions on us that will remain, in one way or another, for a long, long, time. ;i|s J ri -BMBBlIil jhsi First row (sitting): Mr. Smith, Mrs. Matthews, Dr. Alley, Miss Bronson, Mr. Graves, Miss Mackedon, Mr. Butters, Miss Lisai, Mr. Knowlton.

LASS Once, namely six years ago, we came to¬ gether, a picked group from all corners of town, prepared to live with each other in and out of school until we were graduated as the Class of 1944. The year we entered Junior High, the school hours were shortened three-quarters of an hour; already changes were being made for a revolutionary class. It was here, under Mr. Dickman, that we first walked from class to class, played basketball and used gym equip¬ ment, had lockers, heard “stand and file”, drove the singing teacher insane and heard Miss Barr call us by various names. We elected home room officers, had men teachers for the first time, elected a traffic squad and the girls had a hard time eating the results of their cooking. It was during these years that “Shiney” Am- ico established his claim to the heavyweight of the class, Gordon McGovern the tallest, Bar¬ bara Bonnell the shortest, Ruth Tapley the smartest, Ken Harvey the wittiest, and “Rat” DiMambro the fastest. Some of us previewed the high school by eating in the cafeteria — but we were as bewildered as ever when we entered the Wadleigh. We were freshmen, very much so. Although we embarked on our voyage dazed and slightly perplexed, we dug our way out from under the piles of homework with an eagerness to make good and show the way to the upperclassmen. We elected Dick Fenno, Bob Maynard, B. J. Smith, and Ann Jennings as class officers and representatives to the Prom. Still another change for our class came in the form of lock¬ ers, and we all became acquainted with the base¬ ment, Peter Benson, and the print shop. Under Mr. Graves we hotly debated Roos¬ evelt and Willkie, Miss Bailey introduced us to Shakespeare, we translated Fabulae Faciles with Miss Carmichael, and in all classes squirt guns were the sole weapons of defense. Ken Harvey captained a freshman football team which boasted of one tie and a fighting spirit typical of the class. Gaspare Cottone, “Shiney” Ami- co, Charley Ferro, and “Richie” Donohue were standouts on the gridiron as were Gordon Mc¬ Govern, Ted Atkinson, and Bob Maynard on the basketball court under Coach Bartlett. Tony Saraco and Frank DiMambro started on the second track team. John Ottiano won a first team letter in track as did Gordon McGov¬ ern, Ted Atkinson, and Dick Fenno in tennis. On the girls’ tennis team Muriel Howard and Anne Penniman showed the way to the upper¬ classmen. We led the School in Thrift, A. A., Red Cross activities, and were guinea pigs for the newly formed Student Council’s plan of student study hall rule. This was the year Bill Wilde broke his collarbone; Dick Gallagher played in Courtney Crandall’s orchestra; Steve Greene and Bill Cole fought their way through a plate glass window; Jim Dodson was never on time; David Hersey made the Quiz Kids — Tom Derro, runner-up; Ralph Muehlig headed the “Jerk Club”, forerunner of the “Purple” Ring”. It has been four years since we lined up for the hike to the cafeteria, went through the food line with the wrong change, first danced in the gym, and took turns going to assemblies. In the Wadleigh we formed a solid foundation which has carried us through the years as school leaders athletically and scholastically. In two short months we were eligible to hobnob with the elite in the main building and in no time proved our worth to the school. We elected four fine officers in Gordon McGov¬ ern, Phineas Newton, Jean Freygang, and Ruth Tapley. We were proud of a football team which suffered but one setback, but were proud¬ er still of our boys who helped toward that goal. Ruth Tapley, Edie Dover, Ginny Ter- hune, B. J. and B. A. Smith, Muriel Howard, Marilyn Drake, Virginia Wallace, Joan Nettles, and Anne Penniman started on the trail to basketball and field hockey fame. Although the “Red and Black” grew in size and the A. A. membership price had dropped from one dollar to eleven cents during the sum¬ mer, events abroad held the spotlight and in¬ cited in us a strong feeling of patriotism. Ger¬ many had heartlessly mistreated the smaller A. A. Executives; Minute Man Flag; Dance Decorators; Cup Winners; The Gang”; Fourth Period Gym. countries of Europe and England was totter¬ ing under intense bombings. Pearl Harbor! Before we knew it, we were at war. It seemed like a dream as we sat in the assembly hall and listened to the President ask for war. To us fighting was unreal and far away, but the Japs had struck us between the eyes and we soon awakened. Our principal, teachers, and schoolmates shortly answered the call to the colors. Air raid drills, dimout rules, paper conservation and the scarcity of prod¬ ucts brought the battles home to us. War, however, did not hamper the activities of an ambitious and energetic sophomore class. We campaigned for a school band, bolstered a championship baseball team, saw Bert Moore and Gordon McGovern star on the second team hoopsters who lost only their last game in sev¬ enteen; watched Dick Callahan and Bud Ma¬ honey win first team suits in baseball; and danced to the strains of ‘White Cliffs of Dover”, “Chattanooga Choo-Choo”, and “El¬ mer’s Tune”. We won’t forget our contribu¬ tions to the Vaudeville, either; Bert Moore’s violin. Bud Mahoney’s monologue, Bill Ev¬ erett’s and Earle Spencer’s “Air Raid”, Patsy Leonard’s “Maudie”, and a host of girls that brightened up the choruses. Our junior year was one of sunshine and glory. After two years of “getting ready”, we were now prepared to take our place as upper¬ classmen. Class officials for this memorable year were Steve Greene, Ken Harvey, Barbarie Harm- er, and Herbert Mahoney. We bolstered our claim to greatness during the ensuing football season which saw the team climax an unbeaten season with the Class C Championship. Our first team letter winners were Ken Harvey, Doug Cromwell, Angelo Amico, Fred Hicks, and Tom Derro. In all other sports we were tops! Our basket¬ ball team, bolstered by Juniors, was invited to the Tech Tournament. Saraco, Swymer, Calla¬ han,McGovern, and Clarke were diamond aces, while DiMambro and Ottiano ran wild on the cinder paths. In girls’ sports new faces ap¬ peared — Anne Richardson in hockey, Peggy Ware in tennis. Ken Harvey was announced captain-elect of the football team; Anne Richardson, hockey; “Edie” Dover, basketball: Anne Penniman, tennis; Tony Saraco, baseball; while John Ot¬ tiano and Frank DiMambro shared the track honors. Of course the records will never let us forget our illustrious two-year, three-sport manager, Alan Bugbee. Juniors monoplized the “Red and Black” and lifted the paper to its proper place in school affairs; Jean Freygang headed the Red Cross with Bill Eaton as Vice-President; Jim Kim¬ ball was Vice-President of the Thrift Associa¬ tion; B. J. Smith was Secretary of three organi¬ zations; Steve Greene held the second highest position in Student Council; George Gould presided over the Camera Club. The class play, “Seven Keys to Baldpate”, couldn’t have been a success without the stellar performances turned in by Joan Mullan, Her¬ bert Clement, Larry Smith, Earle Spencer, and Virginia Terhune. Bob Johnston was the in¬ dividual star of the Vaudeville — while over fifty other classmates directly contributed to its success. During this year Bert Moore engineered the sale of War Stamps, introduced the Honor So¬ ciety; and the Student Council sponsored our first Vocational Day. Will we ever forget the dances held in the gym to the tune of “I’ve Heard that Song Before” and “Sleepy Lagoon”, climaxed with the pomp, color, and gaiety we combined into a wonderful Prom . For three years we had slaved and suffered until this Fall we reached the top — Seniors at last! It was high time now to put away our yo-yos and buckle down to the task of better¬ ing the records left by other graduating classes. In no time the A. A. boasted of a 100% school membership for the first time in history; the Student Council introduced traffic squad re¬ vision; our girls’ basketball team sported a rec¬ ord second to none in the annals of the school; we flew the minuteman flag for the first time; the chorus broadcast over the radio; we held the first town meeting discussion; and we founded new hockey and indoor track squads. Countless other unsurpassable records will be left behind us as a result of our efforts. Joe Foley was elected as chief executive, with Frank DiMambro second in command; Mary Power, Secretary; and Larry Norton was left to balance the budget. Bob Lynch beaded the Student Council; Dick Fenno governed the Athletic Association: and Bert Moore piloted the “Red and Black”, Red Cross, and “The Aberjona”. B. J. Smith ruled over the Dra¬ matic Society; Virginia Terhune was at the helm of the Thrift Association; Gordon Mc¬ Govern controlled the Traffic Squad; Kay Simonetta guided the Library Club: and Her¬ bert Mahoney led the Science Club. No his¬ tory could be complete without mention of that gallant group of trigger men who have taught underclassmen to tremble at the names, Derro, Mahoney, Callahan, Muehlig, Nihan, and Twombly. To live up to the record of last year’s champ¬ ionship football team was too great a task for us, but we emerged with a good gridiron record of six wins, three losses, and one tie, including a heart-breaking one-point loss to our arch rival, Woburn. First team letter winners were: Captain Ken Harvey, Tom Derro, “Shiney Amico, Ralph Muehlig, Fred Hicks, Carmen Tofuri; Frank DiMambro, Tony Saraco, Phil O’Rourke, Steve Greene, and Dick Nihan; with Mike Penta capturing a second team award. Girls’ Field Hockey letter winners were: Anne Richardson, Edith Dover, B. J. Smith, and Ruth Tapley. At the A. A. All Sports Banquet we saw Ed¬ ith Dover and Alan Bugbee receive the Mans¬ field-Wheeler Sportmanship Cups. Our basket¬ ball team finished in third place in the League under the leadership of high scorer and Captain Gordon McGovern. Bert Moore, Dick Coon, Dick Callahan, Ted Atkinson, and Tony Sa¬ raco formed the nucleus of the first team, while Bud Mahoney, Ralph Muehlig, Phil O’Rourke, and Dick Fenno received second team letters. The greatest sport performance of the year was the spotless slate turned in by the all-senior girls ' basketball team. Paced by Edie Dover, who compiled an average of well over fifteen points per game, the girls set down all oppo¬ sition. Members of this winning combination were: Anne Richardson, Anne Penniman, Vir¬ ginia Wallace, B. A. Smith, Ruth Tapley, and Muriel Howard. “Edie” Dover also headed the the never-to-be-forgotten cheer leaders, Shirley Carroll, Virginia Terhune, Marilyn Drake, Vir¬ ginia Nelson, and Anne Richardson. Letter winners of the first-year hockey team included: Captain Tom Derro, Larry Norton, Bill McGrail, Dick Nihan, Deane Tolman and Bob Tucker; while Ken Harvey and Gene Clen- r.on received awards for track supremacy. Cap¬ tain Tony Saraco and “Zeke” Swymer headed a winning baseball team and Seniors monopo¬ lized the successful track season. Both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams came up with their usual top notch records to top the best in this dis¬ trict. “June Mad’’ saw B. J. Smith and “Herbie” Clement sharing top honors, ably supported by Virginia Terhune, Bob Johnston, Larry Smith, Phil Slocum, and John Ottiano. Memories of a top-ranking Vaudeville will always include Bob Johnston’s voice, Ma Carey’s trumpet, Herbert Clement’s ingenuity, the jazz band, Mr. Hayward’s skits, the Senior Octet har¬ mony, the fairyland dances, and the pony cho¬ rus. Our final splashes together were a merry¬ making Class Night, complete with a delicious Banquet; and a Prom which compared with the best in history. Remember the hours of practice we put into graduation rehearsal in preparation for our final release? Well, we are Seniors now — yes — in a short while we will be Alumni; but we’re not so sure that we want to graduate. As the coming months go by we’re going to miss the days of “Mairzy Doats” and “Pistol Packin’ Mama . We may have disliked the studies, but never again can we relive or replace the friendships and the good times that have filled our high school years. Now we are turning to the fu¬ ture — a future that, perhaps, will hold in store a delightful reunion for the Class of 1944.

TRAYER By Louis Untermeyer God, though this life is but a wraith, Although we know not what we use, Although we grope with little faith, Give me the heart to fight — and lose. Ever insurgent let me be, Make me more daring than devout; From sleek contentment keep me free, And fill me with a buoyant doubt. Open my eyes to visions girt With beauty, and with wonder lit — But let me always see the dirt, And all that spawn and die in it. Open my ears to music; let Me thrill with Spring’s first flutes and drums — But never let me dare forget The bitter ballads of the slums. From compromise and things half done, Keep me, with stern and stubborn pride; And when, at last, the fight is won, God, keep me still unsatisfied. —From Challenge”, by Louis Untermeyer. By permission of Harcourt Brace and Company. Class a 1945 President Lloyd Wallis Vice-President . Jim Tibaudo Secretary . Nancy Nutter Treasurer . Priscilla Morrill Beginning with the A. A. Banquet the Jun¬ ior Class walked off with many awards. Letters were awarded to the following grid stars: C. Lovejoy, C. Walsh, C. Roche, Stevenson, F. Lambiase, S. Buzzotta, G. Washburn, J. Er- rico, J. Hannon, T. Bucci, Smith, H. Berquist, and last but not least, our Football Captain for next year, Jim Tibaudo. Our Basketball Captain-Elect, Joe Errico, and Jim Tibaudo held the spotlight as being the only Juniors on the first team. T. O’Rourke, Way and Bucci starred on the sec¬ ond team. Unwilling to let the girls capture all Hockey honors, this year a Boys ' Ice Hockey Team was formed. Playing on this team were: Curtis, Collins, Ellis, Monson, Lovejoy, Walsh, Bur¬ rows, Connor, Berquist, Bates and Knoettner. Another sport which brought us into the limelight was Indoor Track, starring Co-Cap¬ tains Burke and McGlynn, and Cameron. Turning our attention to the girls we find Field Hockey coming first on the schedule. Those who showed exceptional playing ability and played on the first team were: Lucy Russo, next year’s Captain, and Nat Dickson. The second team included Foley, Jackson, Bradlee, Duffett, Russell, Captain Pride, and Managers Ferro and Nutter. For the female hoopsters we find Nancy Snow Captain of the second team, with Allen, Left to right: Nutter, Wallis, Morrill. Brown, Connor, Dickson, Duffett. Roberts, and Managers Bradlee and Pride. Looking to the scholarly side of the Junior Class we point with pri de to Jim Ware, who brought honor to us by his brilliant perform¬ ances on the Junior Town Meeting of the Air. Our Hollywood Hopefuls for this year in¬ cluded such cinema stars as Priscilla Morrill, Emily Hanson, Shirley Salyer, Ewen Cam- meron, and Boardman O’Connor, who gave good accounts of themselves in the Junior-Sen¬ ior Class Play. The annual Vaudeville Show was studded with many Junior stars, among which were Charlie Lovejoy, Jane Russell, Janet Pride, Ted O’Rourke, Jean Hatch, and Emily Hanson. Summer sports stalwarts included Ware, in tennis; McGlynn and Burke, in track; Angy Amico, Pete Osgood, Ward Goodnough, Guy Washburn, Roger Curtis, and Ted O’Rourke in baseball. Many of us attended the Junior-Senior Prom on May 6 to dance to the music of Chappie Arnold and his orchestra. Nancy Nutter rep¬ resented the Class in the reception line. Jim Tibaudo was present in his new Navy uni¬ form. Already officers for next year are being elect¬ ed. “Sarto” Walsh is to be the Thrift Asso¬ ciation President.

Undaunted by the grim predic¬ tions of upper classmen we gained recognition in our Freshman year with bang-up paper drives, 100% banking days, and efficiency plus on the traffic squad. Our first year in the big building gave our budding athletes their opportunity. The class president, Sam Tibaudo, not only made the varsity football squad but promises to fill Bill West’s shoes in the coming years. The riotous Sophomore basketball rooters visibly swelled with pride at the sight of those flashing first- team forwards, “Pat” Patterson and “Gene” Thomson. Not to be outdone, several of the female specie received their second team awards in hockey, and other “scintillating Susies” struck sparks on the basketball court. Being the largest class in the high school, other talents budded. Burtnett and Brackett made the Barrymores blanche. Addresses poured in to Norma Lewis, Service Editor on the “Red U Black”; four Soph girls donned the red and white to lead the enthusiastic fans in their equally enthusiastic cheers. As our Sophomore year draws to a close we look forward with anticipation to greater achievement in the coming years at W H. S. 94 7 President Edward Hicks Vice-President .. James Olivier Secretary Anne Harris Treasurer . Mario Buzzotta The Freshman Class has done its share in contributing to the numerous activities of the High School. John West, Mario Buzzotta, Sam Bellino, Pete Ferro, Dom Gallello, Mike Gambino, Joe Riga, Bill Nichols, Eddie Hicks, Dave Merrow, Gerry Errico, Bob Atkinson, Jim Murray, Bruce Bourinot, Dean Blanchard, Eddie McGrath, Bill Whittemore, Dom Jaco- bellis, Jack Grimes, Ken Lord, Ken Donaghey, Dave Sargent, Joe McElhiney, Brad Harlow, Tony Stoffieri, Jim McLaughlin, Holbrook Bugbee, Greg Kolligian, Peter Cottone, and Dom Pantaleo were all on the 1943 football team. Freshmen on the basketball team were: John West, Jim Olivier, Sam Bellino. Dean Blanchard, Dom Gallello, Gerry Errico, Eddie Hicks, Joe Riga, Dom Jacobellis, and Dom Pantaleo. Charley Wansker and Brad Harlow represented Wadleigh on the tennis courts. The Dramatic Club and Glee Club also have a large number of Freshmen. The Vaudeville Show caught quite a few Freshmen eyes this year. Many of our class entered the tryouts. Several were chosen out of the thirty-six candi¬ dates. The Traffic Squad has been very efficient in the Wadleigh this year with Edward Hicks, Bruce Bourinot, Robert Atkinson, and Sally Blanchard as traffic chiefs.

Mr. Cooper Under the guidance of its officers and exec¬ utive board, Bert Moore, Steve Greene, Joe Foley, Dick Fenno, Charles Dunn, Bill Bird, and Ed Hicks, the Student Council enjoyed one of its most successful years. This year, more than ever, its efforts and its inv ariable success were appreciated by the student body. The first major undertaking of the organiza¬ tion this year was the revising of the constitu¬ tion — the old one having been found impract¬ ical as well as incomplete. Larry Smith and Steve Greene comprised the committee on re¬ vision and spent a great deal of time in produc¬ ing a very creditable piece of work. In conjunction with the war effort, Student Council fostered an animated scrap paper drive under the guiding hand of Joe Foley. Through¬ out the year five full scale campaigns were launched in an effort to collect the vitally need¬ ed paper for our war. The money received from its sale was spent solely for the entertain¬ ment of the students through novel assembly programs. On February nineteenth, the Student Coun¬ cil broke into the social limelight by presenting a Night Club Dance — the first of its kind ever held in WHS. This novel dance differed from others in that the atmosphere of “The Latin Quarter’’ or “Stork Club” was duplicated as far as possible, with soft drinks, tables and chairs for the couples, and a floor show. This entertainment, including such well known high school performers as the octet and jazz band, was augmented by several song and musical solos plus some well-placed humor. The suc¬ cess of the dance can be attributed to the work of Virginia Terhune and her committee. Of school-wide importance and approval was the plan introduced by Dick Fenno and nur¬ tured by the Council to streamline a rigid traff¬ ic squad and minimize discipline. This met with much success and was continued through¬ out the year. In appreciation of the extra-curricular activ¬ ities of many of the students the Honor Society, introduced by Bert Moore, is continuing and may soon become one of the most coveted awards in the school.

Athletic Association President Dick Fenno Vice President .Sam Tompkins Secretary .Virginia Terhune Faculty Advisor .Mr. Hayward Headed by peppy Dick Fenno, this year’s Athletic Association experienced nothing but success. Serving on the executive board and figuring much in the operation of the A.A. were Tony Saraco, Ken Harvey, Gordon Mc¬ Govern, Mary Power, Jean Freygang, Barbara J. Smith, Ted Wallis, Sam Tibaudo, and Ed Hicks. Before school had been in session a week, the membership drive was started. This was handled so expertly, what with the use of notices, assemblies, and high-pressure salesman¬ ship, that the ultimate goal, 100 per cent, was reached for the first time in the school’s history. The Fall Sports Dance was held in October and the Mid-Winter Dance in January. Both were financial successes and were enjoyed by the students. Social Chairman B. J. Smith A. A. All-Sports Banquet deserves limitless credit for her untiring efforts. Once again the A.A. held an All-Sports Banquet in December. Letter winners in all sports, chauffeurs of the football team, coaches, and other special guests were on hand. The Mansfield Cup was presented to Alan Bugbee, three sports manager, and the Wheeler Cup went to Edith Dover, captain of the cheerlead¬ ers and outstanding in all girls’ sports. The basketball team received new uniforms and also some unprecedented support in the form of cheerleaders at the home games. For the first time in decades the A.A. spon¬ sored an Ice Hockey team and an Indoor Track team. Both of these sports enabled many ad¬ ditional boys to reap the profits offered by ath¬ letics. The twelfth Annual Vaudeville Show, super¬ vised by Mr. Hayward and Coaches Matthews and Knowlton, again proved the highlight of the year in entertainment. About one-third of the students in the school appeared in the show. Early in May the annual nominations were held in the homerooms, after which the numer¬ ous nominees wrote out tentative platforms. The candidates were selected from these. A few weeks later, campaign speeches were given before the school and next year’s officers were voted upon. Throughout the year the combination of a president like Dick Fenno, a social chairman like “B. J.”, and an energetic executive board kept the A.A. before the school as its main organization.

Bert Moore Vice-President Barbara Vincent Secretary . Ruth Tapley Treasurer Fergus Cameron Robert Halstead Faculty Advisor. Miss Mackedon Under the guiding hand of Miss Mackedon and the energetic push of Bert Moore, the Jun¬ ior Red Cross turned in a record year of achieve¬ ment. The officers and the executive board, con¬ sisting of Mary Power, Barbara Foley, Pauline Donahue, Constance Zimmerman, and Jim Mc¬ Laughlin, supplied the strategy. The numerous volunteer home room representatives performed the mechanics. The membership drive brought the school to the 100% mark. This drive was over-sub¬ scribed and the extra thirty dollars went into the working fund. This year the J.R.C. did more than any other organization to help the war effort. After taking over the unorganized sale of War Bonds and Stamps in September, Mile. Mackedon’s crew ended the year with a rema rkably efficient sys¬ tem which brought the acclaim of Mr. Graves, Mr. Quinn, and the entire school. By January the $5,227.25 total sales had completed several drives making possible the purchase of a field ambulance and three jeeps, one of which appeared at the Belmont foot¬ ball game. The group then focused pressure on the school’s percentage. They finally earned the right to fly the Minuteman Flag with 90% buying in February. In October and November, the J.R.C. helped in the clothing drive conducted by the Russian War Relief Committee. In December, more than 4,000 tuberculosis seals were prepared for mailing to the residents of Winchester. The Board voted to finance the mailing of the special Servicemen’s Issue of the “Red and Black’’ to the High School graduates in the Armed Forces. In March a contribution of $25 was made to the National Children ' s Fund. An assembly on the eve of Winchester’s Red Cross Day filled the students with information on the services of the Red Cross, which was re¬ layed to parents and friends. A final three- month drive for ash trays and victrola records to be placed on United States ships kept the J.R.C. working right to the end. Satisfaction of a service well done was the only reward received by the hard-working members, but the fact that no higher reward would be asked or would be taken, made the service all the greater. Miss Mackedon worked so hard and yet so skillfully that the Junior Red Cross can boast of one of the cleanest records of any school or¬ ganization. Being well-liked by all her fellow- workers, she received co-operation with her ev¬ ery suggestion and in this way produced effici¬ ency plus.

Barbara J. Smith Assistant Secretary . Martha Jackson Faculty Advisor . Mrs. Stacy While other students did their home work during the extra long home room period on Tuesday mornings, the Thrift Association members banked, figured out percentages, and gave out the general impression that they were busy. This was not just an impression, how¬ ever — it was true. Under the very able guid¬ ance of Mrs. Stacy, the Thrift Association, with Ginny Terhune at the helm, produced a very well-trained corps of bankers. They were well supplied with business, too. Out of twenty-three home rooms, nine ob¬ tained 100% every bank day. These rooms were 6, 8A, 8B. 13, 14. 17, 20, 23, and 30. Other statistics showed that the whole school reached the 100% mark on five different occas¬ ions and that 98% was the lowest school av¬ erage. Room 13 is the center of the industrious Thrift Association activities. It is to the sacred halls of “13” — not an unlucky number in this case — that each representative treads ev¬ ery Tuesday morning. Since its beginning in 1924, Thrift has become increasingly efficient. Each room has two or more representatives who do the banking in their respective rooms. Each member of the high school deposits his pennies, nickels, or five dollar bills in the bank through these representatives. By means of en¬ velopes sent weekly to the bank, an accurate check is kept on the books and figures. After all the deposits have been made, change ac¬ counted for, and results balanced, the envelopes are sent to room 1 3. Once at 13, Ginny Terhune and her staff make the records. When the total results have been arrived at, the cloud over room 13 clears and everything is packed up and sent to the bank. Charles Walsh looked out for the Wadleigh money and introduced the Class of ’47 to the mysteries of banking. Secretary B. J. Smith and her assistant, Marty Jackson, also deserve much credit for hard work capably carried out. Now, after twenty consecutive years of suc¬ cessful operation, the Thrift Association may look back on a record which is second to none in all Massachusetts. And a large percentage of the credit for such results achieved goes to Mrs. Stacy. It is not an easy task to get the students in the habit of saving — and saving consist¬ ently. But, when all is said and done, in the years to come, we will all undoubtedly agree that banking was one of the most important phases of our high school life.

Traffic Squad Chief . Gordon McGovern Lieutenants . Alan Bugbee Herbert Mahoney, Richard Nihan Faculty Advisor . Mr. Cooper This year’s Traffic Squad, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Cooper, underwent an extensive streamlining. The first part of the year an elected squad of thirty-two members was on duty under Traffic Chief Gordon McGovern and Lieutenants Alan Bugbee, Herbert Ma¬ honey, and Richard Nihan. This group per- lormed the usual disciplinary tasks In midwinter, under Student Council action and supervision, it was decided to reduce the Squad to fourteen members chosen by the Chief from the former Squad. The traffic rules were relaxed and talking was made legal. All diffi¬ culties were referred for decision to the Council Advisory Board. This program proved to be quite successful with but few exceptions. Much of the success of this arrangement in the future will depend on the willingness of the student body in maintaining an efficient and orderly ap¬ pearance.

Bert Moore Business Managers Phil Slocum Steve Greene Faculty Advisors . Mr. Stevens Mr. Keeney It took but one issue to discover how the Class of 1944 would handle the editorial reins of the “R ed and Black’ ' . A special two-page supplement was added to our first issue back in January, 1943. This presented the names and addresses of the High School faculty and alumni members of the classes of 1938-1944 now serv¬ ing in the armed forces, and was mailed to them. In the same issue, Gordon McGovern launched his humorous column, which was later tabbed “Stretching It”. Bob Lynch hon¬ ored the first issues with several inspiring editor¬ ials. Miss L. Aneous made her debut as a regu¬ lar columnist, signing off as “Huby”. Dick Brackett’s “Wadleigh Way’’ at last gave the Freshmen adequate coverage in the paper. Per¬ sonalities in the school were covered in the “Who’s Who’’ column. The sheet scored several notable scoops, hav¬ ing the inside track with Mr. Swenson and his Vocational Day plans. A great service was done the school and the Country by the originating of War Bond and Stamp Drives. The previous¬ ly poor record was increased 500 percent before the close of school. Another accomplishment of the year was Editor Bert Moore’s election to the Presidency of the Eastern Massachusetts Press Association. The paper remained fundamentally un¬ changed in the Fall of 1944 except that gossip columns were restored after a year’s absence. Scoops included the class elections, the com¬ pletion of the War Bond Drive, and the election of the Advisory Board. The last issue pub¬ lished by the Class was another Servicemen’s Issue and was dedicated to Bert Callanan. Editor Bert Moore kept the staff on its toes throughout the year, adopting as his by-word, “Remember the deadline’’. Joe Foley gained quite a reputation around the school as a sports authority, his “Sports Review” having a large following. The news was handled at various times by Dick Fenno, Stillman Hilton, and Larry Smith. Dick had the nose for news, Stilly, the command of English, and Larry, the business-like manner. Ann Swiedler and Norma Lewis tackled the tremendous job of keeping the Service addresses up to date. Other features were successfully handled by Ann Richardson and B. A. Smith. Steve Greene and Phil Slocum headed the all- important business department, and Bill Wilde kept the advertising columns as full as the times would allow. Many others, in fact the largest staff in the four-year history of the sheet, co¬ operated in producing our very successful reign over the columns of the “Red and Black .

Dr. Alley Seriously, though, the Scientists, despite a somewhat smaller enrollment this year, had a good time and learned much in listening to the explanation of present day problems. The executive board, chosen to help the president in planning and carrying out the meetings, consisted of Alix Austin, Bob Lynch, Richard Spencer, and Peggy Ware. This group worked efficiently and scheduled inter¬ esting topics once a month. The first talk, given by Ewen Cameron, was “The Motion of Projectiles’’. This was fol¬ lowed at succeeding meetings by a film, “The Molecular Theory of Matter’’, and lectures about rockets, explosives, trains, and odd acts of so-called “magic”. Math Club President .James Ware Secretary .Gordon McGovern Faculty Advisor . Mr. Butters Under the guiding hand of Mr. Butters, the ’44 edition of the Math Club was firmly estab¬ lished as a regular high school institution. Over twenty-five members attended the “out of the ordinary course” lectures arranged by President James Ware. Among the brain twisters cov¬ ered were magical squares, number puzzles, syn¬ thetic division, letter problems, and many as¬ sorted mathematical oddities. Jerry Fritch, Dick Spencer, Secretary Gordon McGovern, Peggy Ware, Joe O’Brieri -Stgve Greene, and Ruth Tapley were standout con¬ tributors in presenting problems and sure-fire solutions. Jim Ware also contributed some mighty bafflers. Several different geometric proofs, in particular one by Mr. Morgan, were analyzed and solved by the group. Francis Sleeper and David Chipman were the Einsteins of Mr. Morgan’s particular puzzles.

Richard Spencer Faculty Advisor Miss Peabody The Camera Club has enjoyed a very success¬ ful year. Its members have taken two hundred and fifty or more pictures of school activities. A fair proportion of these are seen in this book. Other pictures were recently seen in an exhibi¬ tion in the school library. In addition, our President, assisted by other Club members, took twelve hundred feet of film for the Football squad. Coach Knowlton remarked that these films were the equivalent of an added coach. The Camera Club was also active in lectur¬ ing, showing films, and assisting various or¬ ganizations. in and outside of school. Despite wartime restrictions which hampered the activities of the members, the Club held a foremost position in the WHS activities. Library Club President . Catherine Simonetta Secretary . Helen Perry Faculty Advisor Miss Lisai This year the Libe Club has done its best to aid our new librarian, Miss Lisai, in every poss¬ ible way. Every member spends a free period each week helping behind the desk in the library. 1 he main jobs of these students are to check boo ks in and out, file cards, return books to the shelves, and help repair old books and prepare new ones. At the beginning of the school year, the girls attended the Book Fair, and also the Personal Book Store in Boston. During the year they entertained themselves by having little skits at their meetings, and also by having a very enjoyable Valentine Party. The last meeting was celebrated as a farewell party for the Senior girls and election of new officers was held. The Orchestra, with Mr. Brown Conducting. Orchestra The orchestra this year was a small but am¬ bitious group. During the year it attacked such difficult selections as “March Slav” and “Straussianna”. On the whole, the orchestra can be said to be improving. Perhaps the brass and woodwind section was a little too strong, but this can be attributed to the scarcity of strings. The per¬ cussion is, for the size of the orchestra, too large and overpowering. As usual in small orches¬ tras, we are saved by the piano. Mr. Brown, able leader of the orchestra, also conducts for Melrose, Cambridge, and Welles¬ ley College. On May 10, the annual orchestra assembly was held before the entire school and met with favorable comment. If as much progress is to be made as was this year WHS may look forward to a distinctive ensemble in the near future. Chorus Under the capable direction of Mrs. Malcolm Howard, the WHS Chorus, now in its second year, is progressing with giant strides toward becoming a polished and well-balanced musical organization. Outstanding claims to success were the performances of the chorus and girls’ ensemble in the radio program, which was broadcast from the Winchester Town Hall over Station WCOP last November, in the in¬ terests of the combined Community Fund and Third War Loan Drives. Chorus reahearsals are held for boys only, on Tuesday and Friday of each week, and for the girls on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. Once a week, on Thursday morning, rehears¬ als are held for both glee clubs. It is during these rehearsals that the different parts of vari¬ ous numbers are molded together to form the complete arrangement. Left to right ( sitting ): Everett, Richardson, Thompson. Standing-.

The Board is comprised of three Seniors, two Jun¬ iors, one Sophomore and one Freshman who are nominated by the Student Council and elected by the individual classes. The Board elected for the school year 1943-1944 is as follows: Alan Bugbee, chairman: Mary Power, Dominic Talone, Ted O’Rourke, Bob Quine, Patsy Eberle, and Eddie McGrath. Their work of conferring with the Principal concerning student problems has resulted in the abolishment of a disciplinary traffic squad and the introduction of certain stationary rules to be followed in the treatment of the tardiness problem. The importance of the Board is great, and it should receive the support of both students and faculty in future years. Aberjona Club Under the guiding hand of the Student Council, the Aberjona Club, Winchester High School’s honor society, is rapidly approaching z place of prominence in school life. The purpose of the Aberjona Club is to give due recognition to those students who have contributed their time and effort in helping to make the school a better place. Membership is granted to anyone who has participated in a certain number of accredited activities. The following are the present members of the Aberjona Club: Dorothy Carr, Edith Dover, Richard Fenno, Joseph Foley, George Gould, Stephen Greene, Charles Lovejoy, Robert Lynch, Gordon Mc¬ Govern, Herbert Moore, Laurence Norton, Anne Penniman, Anne Richardson, Francis Sleeper, Barbara A.

Miss Bailey The Dramatic Club’s advisor, Miss Bailey, able director of dramatic proceedings, together with the Club’s officers, rounded up WHS’s tal¬ ent for one of its most successful years. Our actors and actresses came forth in true Grade “A” tradition to give two outstanding and entertaining plays. This year the group presented its plays to the High School as a whole in assemblies. First, Priscilla Morrill, our only Junior of¬ ficer, gave us a fine Thanksgiving play entitled “Thanksgiving, Family Style’’. Grant Burt¬ nett, Marie Fitzpatrick, Betty Connor, Dick Brackett, Natalie Dickson, Fergus Cameron, and Sue Neiley all did grand work in making WHS feel the true Thanksgiving spirit. The second play was something very new and different. Larry Smith and Bill Everett deftly directed “Fantasy on an Empty Stage” to a very successful climax. Starring in this un¬ usual play were Ginny Terhune, Dick Brackett, Grant Burtnett, Ewen Cameron, John Ruther¬ ford, and Charles Greene. Left to right: Cameron, Morrill, Smith, Terhune, Clement, B. J. Smith, Johnston, Hanson, Slocum, Olivier, O’Connor, Mr. Newton. Junior-Senior Class Play A triumph of high school acting and ama¬ teur production was the Junior-Senior Class Play, “June Mad . The principal character part, that of Mrs. Wood, required the mature talent of Priscilla Morrill to make it attractive. Priscilla’s steady acting, with her well modulated voice and re¬ strained gestures certainly give her a place of prominence in any review. Cast in straight parts were Barbara J. Smith as Penny and Herbert Clement as Chuck. From the opening scene, in which these two were recklessly fencing in the living room, to their last scene, they were altogether real and natural. Continuing as a bouncing care-free lad, Herbert took advantage of every opportunity. B. J. had to run the gamut of emotions which only a mother could understand, but all could appre¬ ciate. Boardman O’Connor, as Elmer, seemed at ease, whether carrying paint pail or baggage. Larry Smith, playing Dr. Wood, always gave the impression that he was on the verge of mak¬ ing a profound statement. Larry gave the proper decorum to a doctor’s residence. Irrepressible, though resistable, more or less describes Milly Lou, played effectively by Vir- ignia Terhune, who stepped in at short notice, when “Kippy Mueller was forced to withdraw because of illness. She not only handled the dialogue flawlessly, but gave an all-around per¬ formance of the pesky little sister that would be hard to beat. Troubled not only by her employer’s meagre supply of groceries in the light of more guests for dinner, Effie, the maid, played by Virginia Olivier, had unmentionable troubles of her own, which made the audience howl. As a study in contrasts, the wolf and the lamb, Roger VanVleck and G. Mervyn Rob¬ erts, played by Robert Johnston and Philip Slocum were good. The former brought along his smile and voice as stock in trade, but the latter brought his shyness and pathos along to a high degree of effectiveness. Emily Hannon, as Julie, was the genuine glamour girl who purred upon a new-found boy friend, brushed off small brother and neigh¬ bor girl, and smashed the ardor of the object of her affection. Shirley Salyer, as Shirley Went¬ worth, and John Ottiano, as Ralph Went¬ worth, were only briefly on the stage, but were pleasing enough to have warranted much more to do if the playwrights had permitted it. Ewen Cameron, as the sad Mr. Harris, was bound to be typed as a worried parent, but a sudden change near the end gave him a chance to dis¬ play enthusiasm, all the more effective because of its suddeness. The direction of the play was excellent. The timing was so obviously good that there were no waits for cues, no aimless wandering, and good “business’’. Besides doing an unusually good job of directing, Mr. Newton had the ad¬ ditional task of providing much of the property and arranging the set, not to mention the thrill which he must have received every time some¬ one jumped on his divan.

Of great importance is the training we have received, not only in physical development, but in playing with and against others. Both Mrs. Matthews and Coach Knowlton consider the prime purpose of any athletic event to be the building of character and sportsmanship. All their pre-game talks can be summed up in the words, r ' Play hard, but play clean”. As we look back upon four years of sports competition under these coaches, we may regard every game as a victory, for we gained immeasurably in both character and sports¬ manship. And now, as we are about to enter a bigger game, we are just beginning to realize what invaluable assistance their teachings will prove to be. There¬ fore, we pause to assure Mrs. Matthews and Coach Knowlton, we will never forget them nor their ideals. LOU GODDU To Lou Goddu, sportsman, companion, and ad¬ visor, we extend our heartfelt thanks. For his un¬ selfish devotion and friendship, his good-naturedness and wisdom, and his constant tireless efforts in our behalf, we will be forever grateful. He has taught ns the qualities in a man that we have grown to respect. He has shown a fatherly interest in all our problems and has given undivided attention to our physical and moral betterment. His tinderstanding advice, sought by all who know him, has always been valuable, reliable, and friendly. By keeping our athletic teams in top physical condition, he has proved himself an irreplaceable factor in their success. He has opened his home to us at all times, and has made it the informal head¬ quarters of our teams. For all this and for many more of the little things all we can say is, We thank you, Lou”.

Football Captain Kenneth Harvey Manager.Alan Bugbee Coach Mr. Knowlton Having the odds against them from the very outset, the 1943 edition of the Red and Black came out relatively well. A 6-3-1 record is one a great many teams would cherish, although it doesn’t exactly live up to recent Winchester High tradition. What the team lacked was experience — with only two starters, Captain Ken Harvey and Jim Tibaudo, returning from last year ' s Champs. After losing their first two encounters to Fram¬ ingham and Swampscott (runners - up and Champs respectively), the squad played good enough to win five straight. The flanks of the team were manned by Jim Tibaudo at right end and Dick Nihan and Phil O’Rourke alternating at left. Captain Harvey and “Shiney” Amico were stationed at the tackle posts with big John Stevenson filling in when needed. Tom Derro, “Fuzz” Hicks and Ralph Muehlig shifted around at guard. Late in the season, however, weight was added to these vital positions in the form of Charlie Lovejoy and Bud Lambiase. “Chuggy” Tofuri was the starting center, and was ably backed up by Sam Buzzotta and Sam Tompkins. In the backfield “Sarto” Walsh presided over the blocking backpost and also called signals. “Chucker” Roche, who left before the end of the season, and fleet Frank DiMambro were the tailbacks. Tony Saraco subbed and added needed spirit. Soph Sam Tibaudo was out¬ standing as fullback and has a great future in store. Coach Knowlton and assistants Stevens and Webster received all credit and appreciation that was due, but trainer Lou Goddu, indispensable as always, gained his satisfaction from the re¬ sults of his treatments.

Hockey and Indoor Track During the winter, Winchester High School inaugurated indoor track and ice hockey teams under the direction of Mr. Branley and Mr. Stevens, respectively. Both squads had good sea¬ sons for first year teams, and although many obstacles presented themselves, both sports are well on their way. Thirty stalwarts played through the short hockey schedule, winning one game, tieing one, and losing the finale. In the opening tilt the Stoneham Juniors and Sophomores were routed, 8-3, with Sarto Walsh scoring four goals to pace the attack. Then Winchester and Lexington battled to a 2-2 tie, a moral victory for the Red and Black as Lexington had been playing regularly in the Eastern Massachusetts League. In the final game, the Melrose Second Team won a 3-1 victory, a decision which could easily have gone the other way. Members of the squad were: goalies, Captain Tom Derro, Scotty Connor, and Arthur Bur¬ rows: defensemen, Captain-Elect Donald Ellis, Bill Knights, Larry Norton, Charlie Lovejoy, Dick Nihan, Scott Doub, Dick Collins and Bill McGrail: forwards, Roy Monson, Sarto Walsh, Don Armstrong, Roger Curtis, Bob Tucker, Dave Merrow, Deane Tolman, and Bob Bates; and manager, Frank Livingstone. The indoor track team was sparked by Kev¬ in Burke, who won the 1000-yard run at the Y.M.C.A. meet in Boston in the fastest time of any schoolboy meet around here. If Kevin had not picked up a cold germ, there is no telling how far he might have gone, but, as it was, he finished fourth both at Malden and in the State Meet. Burke and Frank McGlynn, who ran the 300, were elected Co-Captains of the squad. McGlynn also ran well in his event, always fin¬ ishing well up in his heats. Ken Harvey im¬ proved steadily in his first year of running and was able to hold his own in the 1000 when the season ended. The relay team also performed capably. The team included Kevin Burke, Ken Harvey, Frank McGlynn, John Ottiano, Tom Kirwan, Ewen Cameron, “Ticky” Read, Con¬ rad Dana, Jimmy Murray, and manager Bill Eaton.

Alan Bugbee Coach . Mr. Knowlton The Red and Black hoopsters, 1944 style, placed third in their seven-team Middlesex League. Starting from bedrock, with no re¬ turning lettermen, Coach Knowlton had to build from the foundation up. The results did not turn out too badly, as several (including Woburn), can bear witness. The starting team sported Bert Moore and Dick Coon at guards, Captain Gordon Mc¬ Govern at center, and a trio of underclassmen, Pat Patterson, Gene Thomson, and Joe Errico, sharing the forward berths. Besides these “ex¬ perts,” Dick Callahan, Tony Saraco, Jim Tibaudo, and Ted Atkinson saw plenty of capable service. Highlights of the year were many and vivid. For a bit of reminiscing we might suggest ref¬ eree Tony Gentile, with two fingers in the air, yelling, “He gets two!” . . . Captain Mc¬ Govern’s tap ins. . . . Gene Thomson’s one¬ , Bucci, P. O’Rourke, T. O’Rourke, handed swishers from the right corner. . . . Pat Patterson setting up plays. . . . “Huby” Moore retrieving rebounds. . . . The delightful bus trip to Concord. . . . Red-skirted cheerleaders, close up. . . . Mr. Coon at every game . . . and the O’Rourkes and their locker room harmony.

Baseball Captain Tony Saraco Manager . Alan Bugbee Coach . Mr. Knowlton This may be the year! Coach Henry Knowlton has all of last year’s team back with the exception of Jim Tibaudo, who was called to the colors. Knowlton, there¬ fore, has the nucleus of a potentially strong nine. Tibaudo’s loss is more than offset by the return of Angelo “Scratch” Amico to the team, after a siege of ineligibility. To a casual observer any afternoon at Man¬ chester Field, the boys would line up something like this: Ted O’Rourke, one-half of that fa¬ mous Florida twosome, would be stationed at the initial sack. Newcomer as he is, Ted has won the first base job by his all-around play. Sophomore Don Armstrong will be Ted’s un¬ derstudy. “Sarto” Walsh will return to his key¬ stone post. His hitting ability has never been questioned, and last year’s experience should improve his fielding greatly. Dean Blanchard, a freshman, will back up Walsh at second. Sam Tibaudo will cover the shortstop position in his usual flawless manner. Sam can be consid¬ ered the sparkplug of not only the infield but also the entire team. This statement is made on the basis of his play last year. Another fresh¬ man, Eddie Hicks, will be Sam’s reserve. The “hot corner” post is still somewhat in doubt. However, Pete Osgood, a Newton newcomer, seems to have the inside track on this position. Dick Coon, Roger Curtis, and Ward Goodnow, a Pennsylvania immigrant, are giving Osgood plenty of stiff competition. Cavorting around the outer pastures an onlooker would see fleet-footed Tony Saraco, this year ' s captain, in left field, Phil O’Rourke, the other half of that Ocala duo, in center, and Robert “Zeke” Swymer will occupy the sun field in right. Jim Haggerty, Dick Callahan, and Tom Cogan will be on call as outfield re- esrves. Don’t be surprised, however if you see Angie Amico playing the outfield on days when he isn’t busy toiling on the mound. “Scratch” packs plenty of punch at the plate, and he also possesses an exceptionally accurate throwing arm. The battery this year will be much stronger in the hurling department, but a trifle weaker on the receiving end. Amico will probably be classified as the No. 1 twirler. Backing up “Scratch” will be fireballing Sam Tompkins, Guy Washburn, a curve ball artist, and Red Hannon, who seems to improve with every out¬ ing. Dick Nihan will be the first-string catch¬ er. Nihan packs a lot of wallop in the stick, but his defensive play will have to improve if Jim Tibaudo’s loss is not going to be felt. Tony Bucci is Nihan’s understudy. Left to right, kneel¬ ing: Antipas, McLean, Harvey, Ottiano, Clen- non, Cameron. Standing: Coach Branley, Murray, Sher- burn, Livingstone, Tu- tein, Morrison, Heine- man. Outdoor Track Once again Winchester was represented by a strong outdoor track team. Although the high jump and distance races may have been rather weak, the sprints were extremely strong. Coach Branley has high hopes of keeping the North Shore Relay and Belmont Relay troph¬ ies which were won last year. Only one more win is necessary in the North Shore Meet to bring the cup permanently to WHS. A fair nucleus returned from last year headed by Co- Captains Frank DiMambro and John Ottiano. Included in the veterans are Kevin Burke, John Armstrong, Fergus Cameron, Conrad Dana, Tom Kirwan, Frank McGlynn, Charlie Lovejoy, Deane Tolman, and Jack McLean.

Boys’ Tennis Captain Dick Fenno Manager . Larry Smith Faculty Advisor . Mr. Rodgers The 1944 Winchester High School tennis team promises to be no exception to the gen¬ eral rule that this school fields a winning team every year. With five extremely experienced lettermen returning, Coach Rodgers rightfully hopes for nothing less than the State Champ¬ ionship, which last year’s team had some claim to. Topping this year’s roster is Gordon Mc¬ Govern who, after a year’s layoff for baseball, may well be considered the best schoolboy player in Massachusetts. Following are Jim Ware, a junior, who is close to Gordon; Dick Fenno, the most consistent singles winner; Conrad Rosander, a sophomore sensation; Ted Atkinson, hard working senior with a lot of tennis sense; Larry Smith, the playing manager; and Russ Penniman, a promising sophomore. Except for the absence of Capt. Tarbell, this is the same team which competed so successfully last year. Gordon and Jim, and Dick and Con¬ nie expect to team up for the doubles, and should prove plenty tough. The tentative schedule includes Andover, Middlesex School. Boston Latin, Newton High School, Milton Academy, and Brookline High School. Girls ' Tennis Captain . Anne Penniman Manager . Ruth Tapley Coach . Mrs. Matthews It looks like another successful season for the feminine tennis enthusiasts of WHS. Hav¬ ing taken advantage of Winchester’s excellent facilities for many years, once again a thor¬ oughly experienced team will represent the school. This will be Captain Anne Penniman’s third year on the varsity. Considered by many as the best player, Anne is sure to add that in¬ centive that only a winning leader can add. Muriel Howard has been a consistent winner for four years and is a vital cog in this tennis wheel. The opponents have several times asked when “Mully” was going to graduate and stop menacing their victory chances. Peggy Ware and Marilyn Drake, both from tennis-minded families, will once again be out there swinging their racquets. Ginny Wallace and “Suzzy” Wolff round out the group of ex¬ tremely experienced Seniors. The only returning Junior letter winner is Nancy Snow, from whom great things are ex¬ pected. Ruth Tapley is Manager for this season. At first she thought it would be more fun to man¬ age than to play. However, after tangling with the transportation problem, she changed her mind. Winchester will play five matches, including one with Medford, a team not previously met. Left to right ( sitting ): Joslin, Penniman, Snow, Drake. Standing : Coach Matthews, P.

Field Hockey Captain Anne Richardson Manager . Anne Penniman Coach . Mrs. Matthews The 1943 Hockey Team, after starting out on the wrong end of the score, pulled itself to¬ gether into an efficient group to win the last two contests of the five-game schedule. It was de¬ feated first by Lexington, 2-0, then by Arl¬ ington, 5-1, and Belmont, 2-0. All this time the players were gaining in experience and im¬ proving in technique so that they were able to upset Melrose’s crown of fifteen straight wins by the close score of 2-1, and to defeat a weak Medford team, 5-0. The second team was defeated by Lexington and Arlington, while the last two games with Melrose and Medford, both ended in scoreless ties. Janet Pride was elected Captain. The only returning letter players from last year were Captain and left half Anne Richard¬ son, right half Ruth Tapley and left wing Ed¬ ith Dover. Will we ever forget those three goals Edie made against Medford? However, she could never have scored if Captain Richie hadn ' t been right there with her superb “feeding and back¬ ing up. Over on the other side of the field was “Rat- Tap Tapley doing an equally excellent job of defensive playing. Marilyn Drake kept the family name starting at right wing by racing the ball “down the alley with equal, if not better skill, than her sister predecessor. B. J. Smith came from her goalie position of last year to right inner where she reversed her tactics to score the first goal of the season against Arlington. Center Ginny Wallace was always there to start the game with a snappy bully. With a half like Ginny Terhune behind her she couldn’t help being inspired. Manager Anne Penniman was just as effic- icent with a hockey stick as the score book, shar¬ ing the left inner slot with that up-and-coming Junior, Nat Dickson. Our own end of the field was expertly cov¬ ered by that hard-working “Mutt and Jeff’’ combination, Muriel Howard and Lucy Russo. Mully excelled in the hard drive way down the field and little Lucy is an authority at all kinds of dodges, which we’re sure will be useful to her next year as Captain. Last, but by no means least, comes the goalie. Anne Thompson did a great job in keeping the ball away from our door. Mary Jean Browning, Marty Jackson and Jane Duffett filled in perfectly when some of the first stringers were absent. Left to right sit¬ ting: Richardson, Penniman, Wallace, Howard, Tapley. Standing: Drake, Dover, B. A. Smith, Coach Matthews. Girls’ Basketball Captain Edith Dover Manager . Janet Pride Coach . Mrs. Matthews Victory sums up the 1944 Girls’ Basketball Season. This year the girls kept Winchester on the map by sailing through a six game schedule undefeated and untied. As a result our feminine squad with Edith Dover as their leader appeared in one of the Boston papers. Since only one game was played at home, the squad was obliged to be patriotic in traveling by foot and bus with the exception of the Melrose game. This meant playing in strange gyms which made the high scores look even better. The varsity squad was exclusively seniors. Capt. Edie Dover was last year’s only returning forward, but “Penny” Penniman and “Wally” Wallace jumped up from the second team; “Richie” Richardson never played basketball for the Red and Black before. We welcomed the hard working veteran trio, Ruth Tapley, Muriel Howard, and B. A. Smith, along with Marilyn Drake, a former second team member, as our guards. Capt. Dover didn’t sit back and let her team¬ mates do all the work, for in the Medford game she rang up 22 points. Richie proved herself worthy of her position by trailing Edie as the sextet’s highest scorer. Penny did a good job in setting up the baskets along with sinking them. “Ginny” Wallace was a peppy forward and succeeded in thoroughly wearing out the oppo¬ nents’ guards. All opposing teams were just as baffled with our superb, tall, blonde, guards trailing them over the whole floor. Although the seconds were not so successful, they did well considering the vast number of the girls on the second team. This large squad was led by Nancy “Swisher” Snow.

To Shirley Salyer, do I, Dottie Herlihy, leave my knack of arriving at school three minutes after the 8:15 bell. I, Tom Derro, leave my reserved seat in the office to Bob Quine. I. Alix Austin, leave my good looks to Rona Roberts. I, Nancy Greiner, leave my perpetually dis¬ turbing line of chatter to Emily Hanson, who I know will make good use of it.

The place: Beside a Spencer Radio. “This is Bill Cole, the friendly voice of WHS, 1944 on your dial, of the Everett Net¬ work, bringing you a coast-to-coast broadcast of the colossal dedication ceremony in Winches¬ ter, Massachusetts, of Hercules Stadium, dedi¬ cated to Tom Derro, famous war hero, leader of Winchester’s renowned fighting unit in the last war, affectionately known to millions as “The Mob”. Down on the stand in the middle of the stadium is Lieutenant Derro and “The Mob”; Richie Callahan, “Ote” Leary, Herb Mahoney, Dick Nihan, Ralph Muehlig, and Archie Twombly. “There’s Governor Bugbee, Mayor O’Rourke of Boston, our Winchester Selectmen, Arthur King, Dave Lane, Richard LeRoy, Jerry O’Neil, Phil Slocum, and Dom Talone and Reverend Atkinson representing the local clergy. As you may have heard, there’s been a suggestion of graft in connection with the construction of the stadium between Senator Hicks and the con¬ tractors, DiMambro, Swymer, Tofuri, Moli- naro and Penta, Inc. That new District At¬ torney, John Ottiano, nearly convicted them, but Bill Wilde, one of the best lawyers in these parts, proved them innocent beyond a doubt. Editor Hilton of the Star is still trying to un¬ cover something phoney and he has reporters Russell Dockham, Mary Caputo and Mary Jos- lin on the job here tonight. “Well, back to the dedication. The flagpole is being dedicated to Joe O’Brien, the clever ar¬ chitect who drew up the plans for our new grade crossing. The crowd is still jamming into this stadium. Here comes the Johnson troupe — Bob Johnson and his Broadway show are here in town at the Madden Theatre and there’s a whole section reserved for Bob’s cast. Ruth Allen and Lay Taylor are stars in a chorus that includes Barbara Bonnell, Nancy Davidson, Jean Lreygang, Pat Hatch, Gene Herrick, Mim McKenzie, Gus Magnusson, and Mary Power. Russ Pynn and Joe Loley have leads in the dazzling floor show. “That’s enough for that group, ’cause here comes Mary Moriarty, Lifth Avenue’s famous sweater designer, escorted by Larry Norton, who once again proves that he never goes out twice with the same girl. Right behind them is the fashionable clothes designer set — Alix Austin, Betty Dickman, Betty Engstrom, Margie Geerts, Joan Hanson, Carolyn Stuart, and Ginny Wallace. Let’s pick up Dick Gall¬ agher and Orchestra — Bill Carey, Dave Ell- edge, Sam Tompkins, and all the rest over the Eaton Public Address System. “Down right beside the platform there seems to be a confab — it looks like Larry Smith of the “No Ninth Term Committee”, Dottie Carr of the League of Women Voters, and Anne Thompson of the Lederated Women’s Clubs are talking it up. No doubt Larry will say a few words later. Coming into his box is Bert Moore, wealthy owner of “Moore Publi¬ cations, that nation-wide newspaper chain. There’s Dick Lenno, the brains of the organiza¬ tion, with him, followed by a battery of secre¬ taries taking dictation — Josephine Agri, Polly Bourinot, Connie Budgell and Mary Butler. That must be Moore ' s wife, the former B. J. Smith, charming them all in a silver fox fur. “Right down in front of us is the new head of Winchester’s mammoth Recreation Center, Edie Dover and her cohorts: Marilyn Drake, Shirley Carroll, Muriel Howard, Alice Neiley, Betty Reynolds and Annette Robinson. It looks like playboy Herbie Clement coming in with the cream of Boston society, Anne Rich¬ ardson, Anne Penniman, Suzie Wolff, Anne Sweidler, and Lou Perkins. George Gould is taking their pictures with a new special type film. George and his assistants, Bill McGrail, John Birch, Don Warren, Deane Tolman, and Bob Tucker are experimenting for the Pritch Laboratories. Here ' s quite a hand as Bob Lynch, one of the President ' s Brain Trusters just back from Washington, strides onto the platform followed by secretaries Comita, Dono¬ van, Dunbury, Murray, and O’Malley. “Down in one of the boxes are the models who have flown in from Hollywood — Janice Mortensen, Ruth Murphy, Nan Greiner, Ginny Terhune, and of course their manager, Dick Coon. Right on their heels is that new and pro¬ gressive educator, B. A. Smith, President of Whygota College, and her prominent faculty members: Ruth Tapley, Peggy Ware, Muriel Watkins, Ruth Gunby, and Patsy Highland. “Just for a bit of local color, here’s Frank Kerrigan treating all hands at the Kerrigan Pro¬ vision Company to the evening’s entertain¬ ment: June Hennessey, Margaret Joyce, Caro¬ lyn Keeler, Madelyn Flowers, Betty Bush, and Dick Wills, who drives the truck. Well! Here’s a surprise! That famous actress, Virginia Oliv¬ ier, who’s directing her own play now, is com¬ ing with all her cast. Why, just being in her play has made Joan Nettles, Elinor Nelson, Claire Noonan, Shirley Hamilton, Marion Gil¬ bert, Mary Bascomb, Maria Pridham, and all the rest of her all-girl cast famous. I hear Al¬ bert Cordice is the genius responsible for the striking scenery she has in this play. There are the boys from the Aberjona Athletic Club, where all the pro’s hang out. Those three foot¬ ball pros, Ken Harvey, “Shiney’’ Amico, and Tony Saraco, are followed by Earl Parker, de¬ fending chess champion. “There seem to be plenty of eyes following that smart diplomatic set led by Ambassador Bill Thompson, June Preston, Ann Jennings, and Sherman Crytzer. One of the unique fea¬ tures of this evening’s dedication ceremony are the female tonic sellers. Of course, Ginger Nel¬ son is in charge of the food concession and has Carolyn McLaughlin, Agnes Callahan, and Ingrid Carlson selling the hot dogs; and The¬ resa O’Melia, Virginia Lafon, and Francis Fein- berg are having cold drinks. “Here’s a late arrival. I guess these girls arc just getting off the swing shift. As you remem¬ ber, Gloria Herrick is the leader of a bunch of girls who refused to give up their defense jobs after the last war. Well, Gloria and the girls are still working at Beggs Cobb’s. Those overall-clad Amazons include Thelma Swen¬ son, Jean Power, Elsie Sylvester. Marion Why- not, Camille Rotundi, Connie Walker, and Ruth O’Melia. Not to be outdone, here’s a contingent of farmerettes from Dotty Herlihy’s Dairy:Anne Costello, Dotty Delorey, Antoin¬ ette Maffeo, Elizabeth Lindsey, the Luongo girls, and Katy Palumbo. Speaking of import¬ ant women, there’s Catherine Simonetta, Libra¬ rian at the Public Library and her assistants, Helen Perry and Rose Pantaleo. Margaret Philbrook is head of the Children ' s Library. Before the actual dedication ceremony starts, a word from Gordon McGovern for our sponsors 11 “Ladies, does your skin need attention?

Compliments of the CLOVERLEAF BAKING COMPANY I Compliments of A WOBURN FRIEND Fourth Period Gym The difficult task of priming future eligibles for Uncle Sam, not only mentally but also physically, faced WHS supervisors for the sec¬ ond consecutive year. All boys who would reach their eighteenth birthday before Septem¬ ber, 1944 comprised the new special gym class. The class was changed from the sixth period to the fourth period this year, meeting every day except Tuesday. The Fall program consisted of a calisthenics drill followed by a game of touch football, both held at Manchester Field. The calisthenics drill was replaced later in the season by running. The number of laps was prescribed by the class’s able director, Coach Knowlton. The highlight of this particular season was a spirited series of football contests between the ' Foley Flippers” and the “Johnston Jerks”. The “Flippers” were victorious in the series with thirteen wins, nine of them consecutive, seven losses and five ties. Some of the boys participating regularly in these contests were: Bob Johnston, Dick Callahan, Earl Parker, Bob Swymer, Arthur King, Frank Kerrigan, Dick Wills, Bill Thompson, Gene Clennon, Johnny Pietrantonio, Russ Pynn, Joe Foley, Bert Moore, Bill Wilde, and John Birch. With the advent of rain and cold weather, the boys retreated to the confines of the gym, where their winter training program was inaug¬ urated. This period also was divided into two parts: calisthenic and either basketball or “over the top”. This class was given an added touch with the arrival of some of the members of the football squad, who had completed their season. By the time this seasonal program is com¬ pleted, Winchester High boys should have de¬ veloped their physical condition as much as some of last year’s candidates. During the course of the year, Coach Knowl¬ ton received letters from boys who participated in last year’s special gym class and in their writings they gave special praise to their previ¬ ous physical training. This training was a great asset in helping them with their service train¬ ing. T hese letters, along with the candidates’ desire to build themselves up physically for the rigors of war, provided this year’s fourth period gym class with the necessary incentive for mak¬ ing this training a successful endeavor.

Back in January, just before midyears, the staff began work. A meeting in Mr. Hubbard’s room made clear to all the duties to be carried out in order to have a good book. Slowly but surely articles were assigned, ads were solicited, and layout problems attacked. By the time February vacation rolled around about one- fourth of the job had been completed. Then, in the next two weeks, all remaining feature articles were collected, personal writeups written and rewritten, final group pictures taken, and subscriptions filled. In the latter part of April the first proofs came back and last minute details regarding the contents of the book were gone over. Starting with May 1st, the last few weeks were marked by daily trips to the printer’s or to the engrav¬ er’s and oftentimes both in the same day. Then came a rest for a short time, when we were able to think of all the hard work of so many students. Bud Mahoney and Ginny Ter- hune grew weary writing and reading about the activities of the school organizations. Gloria Herrick and her cohorts were tired of often hearing, “No thanks”, in reply to their re¬ quests for ads. Phil Slocum and Anne Richard¬ son had figures swimming in their heads. John Ottiano’s hands were paralyzed from his la¬ bor as art director. Joe Foley could tell one the time and place of every score our teams had made all year. George Gould — ah, God bless him — was almost ready to give up on photo¬ graphy as a hobby. The editor-in-chief was in the hospital resting — with a month of back work to make up. At long last Class Night arrived, and with it the climax of the half-year’s work — that moment when the Class saw the “Aberjona” for the first time. Seriously — forgetting the headaches and sleepless nights — the staff of the “Aberjona” will graduate with a definite advantage over others, for they have partaken in an activity that may well be turned into a life work.
