Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1946 volume:

1 y, ' yy: THX 1 9 6 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF WINCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL WINCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS Having gathered quiet strength from four years’ rich experience, the Class of 1946 of Winchester High School has traversed the symbolic span leading from the idyllic isolation of youth’s island to walk on the wider, wiser shore of the adult world. As they step forward, they remain always thankful that the days when life seemed fresh and free were spent here in the town of the Aberjona. Table of Contents ADyvlimTRATIOH . SENIORS ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS OUR ACDVERTISERS 4 ABERJOHA ■ 1946 The Lights -Are On A.gain Safely ensconced behind our ivy and our youth, we have been able to watch and wonder as the world has tried desperately to right itself. Gradually we have come to understand that the problems of peace are just as difficult as those of war. With this realization has come also a stronger desire to help make possible a working peace for the benefit of our war-racked world. Only a few of our eighteen years have been comparatively quiet ones. We grew up in years of economic uncertainty; we have finished high school at the close of a grim war. And we will remember these last years because they have about them the smell of smoke and blood. During these years, although we were aware of the war, it seemed not quite real to us until it began to reach its greedy fingers into our school life itself, and to effect changes there. We learned that the war could touch everyone, and this year we know that the end of war does not necessarily mean the beginning of peace. We, as individuals, cannot take our peace for granted; rather we must try, for our own and our neighbors’ salvation, to understand not only our own country’s policies, but also the policies of the countries with whom we must share the world: We find that what we have learned of tolerance and critical observation in our school life and relationships will supplement the facts and ideas that we have gained from our textbooks. Our school in all its many phases has equipped us as reasoning people who will try to make the right decisions for the future peace and well-being of mankind. ABERJOKA . 1946 5 Robert M. Keeney QDcdication Mr. Keeney has proved that a teacher can be both a friend and an inspiration. He has taught us to think for ourselves, to form our own opinions, and to defend them. He has, in fact, pro ' vided us with a will and a desire to learn, and to profit by this learning in whatever we do in the future. If we were asked in Mr. Keeney’s own vernacular, “Would anyone have three or four questions?’’ we would unhesitatingly reply, “Certainly not, we are sincere in saying, ‘Thank you, Mr. Keeney, for the many ways in which you have prepared us to live as thin king, tolerant people long after the years of our graduation.”’ 6 ABERJOHA ■ 1946 Forbes H. Norris, Ed.D., Superintendent Administration Mr. Forbes Norris, our new Superintendent of Schools, who came to us from Richmond, Virginia, has won his way into the hearts of the students of Winchester High School by his interest and concern in school affairs. He has become a familiar figure in the high school halls and we hope that he will be as well ' known and respected by other Winchester High School students as he is by the Class of 1946. In February we extended a “welcome home” to our Principal, Colonel Wade Grindle, who returned to the high school, having been in the service of our country during the war. In the four months since his return we have learned to consider him our friend and leader. Mr. Samuel Graves, who as Acting Principal during Colonel Grindle’s absence won the admiration and respect of us all, is to be the Principal of Attleboro High School next year; this is our loss as it is Attleboro’s gain. Members of the School Committee of Winchester are Mr. Neil Borden, Chairman, Mr. Hazen Ayer, Mr. Leo Garvey, Mrs. Christine Green, Dr. Harry Mueller, and Mrs. Lyman Smith. Wade L. Grindle, Principal, and Samuel M. Graves, Assistant Principal ABER] oka . 1946 1 First Roiv; Miss Bronson, Mr. Headstrom, Mrs. Stacy, Mr. Graves, Mr. Grindle, Miss Mackedon, Mr. Bu tters, Dr. Alley, Mr. Knowlton, Mr. Hayward SecoMiJ Row; Miss Bailey, Miss Peabody, Miss Carmichael, Miss Bujnievicz, Miss Hall, Miss Livingstone, Miss Crockett, Miss Skornik Third Row; Mr. Card, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Seferian, Mr. Webster, Mr. Kotkov, Mr. Stevens Faculty The members of the faculty of Winchester High School are a distinctive and grand group of teachers, and although we often rue the day of school, homework, and teachers, in reality we know that under their excellent guidance we shall graduate from high school well prepared in every respect. Of primary importance to all of us is American History. The History Department is headed by Mrs. Stacy who says, “Class, 1 want all of you to like history’’ and we find ourselves doing just that. Miss Hall, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Webster of the Wadleigh Budding make history and its related subjects live for us. Mr. Keeney heads our Engli sh Department. No one can ever forget the embarrassment when asked “Won’t you talk along on that, Clara?’’ or the wonderment of gates being opened to Burns, Shelley, and Browning. Mr. Stevens, the faculty adviser of the Senior Class, Mr. Hayward, Miss Bailey, Miss Crockett, and Miss Bujnievicz complete the depart¬ ment. The Department of Mathematics, a delight to some and a horror to others, is headed by Mr. Butters and includes mathematicians Mr. Rogers, Mr. Weafer, Miss Carmichael, Mr. Card, and Mr. Seferian. Dr. Alley, our head scientist, and Mr. Card, Miss Peabody, and Mr. Headstrom make up the Science Department. Mr. Albro, with his droll wit and ready quip, and Miss Carmichael constitute the Latin Department; the French Department is ably handled by Miss Mackedon, who is not only teaching French but also knitting afghans (at least indirectly). Miss Knowlton, who toujours looks as French as the subject she teaches, and Miss Bujnievicz. Spanish has prospered this year, under the guidance of Mr. Kotkov and Miss Mackedon, and a Spanish Club has been organ¬ ized under the direction of Mr. Kotkov. The Commercial Department, under the direction of Miss Bronson, Miss Skornik, and Miss Bennett ably prepares students for the business world. In the sports line, we all agree that Coach Knowlton and Mis. Matthews are tops and a hearty vote of thanks goes to them. All in all, our faculty have done a great deal toward letting us look back on our high school days with fond memories. 9 ABERJOTsjA • 1946 “Go forth to seek; the (Quarry neyer found Is still a fever to the questing hound. The skyline is a promise, not a hound.” —John Masefield r 10 ABERJOKA . 1946 JEAN THRASHER ALLEY Boston University Activities: Traffic Squad; Science Club, Vice-President; Thrift Asso¬ ciation; Basketball. One of the most faithful and sincere friends a person could have, Jeanie has what it takes! Raven hair that curls all by itself, eyes of sparkling brown, and a cheerful smile for all of us, these are but a part of her attraction. Jeanie’s years at B. U. should be chock-full of accomplishments and pleasures. ELLEN BAYLIES Colby College Activities: Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Science Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. You always know when Ellen’s around by her gay chatter and con¬ tagious laughter. Along with her gift of gab, she has a fine personality, good looks, and plenty of grey matter — assets which go far to make any girl a great success. ANNE MARIE AMICO Colby Junior College Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Library Club. Anne . . . brown eyes that flash and laugh, a smile unfailing in its cheerfulness, and a personality warm and vibrant! Anne has always been a friend upon whom one can depend. She is also the kind of person who brightens life for others. ROBERT JOSEPH BERANGER Activities: Science Club; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Baseball; Track. Another one of our amiable seniors, Bob is noted for his consistent good nature. His rugged good looks were of prime importance to numerous Vaudeville performances, especially one never-to-be-for¬ gotten huba-huba dance in which certain other masculine “beauties” also participated. MARY CATHERINE ARMATO Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Red Cross; Library Club; Math Club. Mary, the girl with the happy smile, can be proud of her four years on the honor roll. Added to this, Mary’s all-round interest in school activities makes her one of the Class of ’46 who will long be remem¬ bered by her many friends. A swell gal, well-liked! RICHARD ALLAN BLACKHAM Harvard University Activities: Honor Roll; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Art Club; Thrift Association. Dick’s an idealist, at home in the world of records, art, and books. If W. H. S. is harboring a liberal arts student, it’s Dick; and though we may wonder about him, it’s fairly safe to say that his taste is well-founded and his ideas are worthwhile. Swamped by committee tasks, he still has time to turn out “A” work and even be an amiable sort of fellow. DONALD CUMMINGS ARMSTRONG Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Traffic Squad, Chief; Vaude¬ ville; Aberjona Club; Football; Baseball; Hockey, Captain. Don is one of those clever persons who gets things done quickly and well. He is famous for his “Charles Atlas” physique and his notable skill on the football field. Donnie has filled a pretty big place in the senior class and is really a top-notch performer in any field. HAROLD DEXTER BLENKHORN United States Navy Activities: Chorus; Orchestra. That stellar clarinet player you’ve seen in the band is Blenk. He is one who spends much time in Room 2, like many other commercial students. With a yen for horses and horseback riding, he manages to take a little time out from his musical activities to have a bit of fun on the bridle path. Here’s hoping you give “B. G.,” that other good clarinet player, a run for his money, Blenk! ABERJOKA . 1946 11 SHIRLEY HOLBROOK BONNELL Activities: Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Thrift Association; Basketball. Shirl has that certain laughing personality that’s catching (espe¬ cially to the male species). She is sincere, energetic, and has an un¬ beatable sense of humor, not to mention a slick figure, super- fashionably garbed. Nothing but the best for Shirl! JANE CARROLL BURCHETT Katherine Gibbs School Activities: Traffic Squad. Quiet and modest is Jane. Hardly a peep is heard from her direc¬ tion, although she gives W. H. S. her share of school spirit. Jane joined our class as a sophomore, only to leave us in the junior year; we were all happy to welcome her again th is last and most eventful year. RICHARD FURLONG BRACKETT Bowdoin College Activities: Student Council, Executive Board; A. A.; Red and Black; Aber.tona; Chorus; Orchestra; Band; Class Play; Vaude¬ ville; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club, Treasurer, President; Track. The John Barrymore (sans profile) of the Dramatic Club displayed marked ability in every performance of that organization in which he took part. DOROTHY ANNE BYFORD Middlebury College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black’, Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club, Vice-President; Aberjona Club; Art Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. Dottie is energy personified, and she expends it on various schemes, each one either a source of fun or a cause of headache to her friends. MARY JEAN BROWNING Cornell University Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Executive Board; Science Club; Basketball; Field Hockey; Cheer Leading. M. J. is the athletic type, a star in every .sport. A whiz at hockey, she swishes her way through ba.sketball, and is a regular mermaid in the briny deep. Mary Jean is sincere, conscientious, even-tempered, and above all a true friend to all. There’s no doubt about it, M. J. is tops! MARILYN SIAS CAMPBELL Middlebury College Activities: Red and Black, Staff Editor, Co-Editor-in-Chief; Class Play; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Thrift Association; Basketball. Whatever Marilyn has a hand in is always a success. Her gay smile greets everyone and her enthusiasm inspires many a school activity. Lyn is one in a million, with her talent in writing and also in art. Luck to you, Lyn, with that best-seller! PHYLLIS BUCCI University of California Aqtivities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Class Secretary, ’44. Tall, attractive Phyl, with a knack at wearing clothes well, has won many friends with her pleasant disposition. Active in many extra-curricular events, she has always come through with a good job. Phyl is part of the cream of the crop. PAULINE CAPONE Kathleen Dell School Dark-eyed, cheerful Pauline, otherwise known as Pollyander, has an eye on the Kathleen Dell School and a future in the business world, unless her interest in music sidetracks her into the artistic field. Whichever you choo.se, stay happy, Pauline! 12 ABERJ OJ iA . 1946 MARY FRANCES CARROLL Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club; Hockey; Basketball. you think Mary is shy — you’re very much mistaken. Her sense humor and pleasant disposition make her fun to have around. Her active part in hockey and basketball makes her a necessary member of both. A swell gal who will do justice to that nursing cap when she dons it in the fall. FREDERICK LEWIS COMBES Tufts College Activities: Science Club; Math Club. A bit on the sober side, but one who is never studying too hard to greet everyone with an “Ipana” smile is that handsome lad, Fred. Although the Science and IVXath Clubs absorb much of his attention, it has been rumored that Fred is not entirely averse to feminine company. His pleasantness is one of the things for which he will be remembered. DOROTHY CARRUTHERS Westbrook Junior College Activities: Traffic Squad; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Basketball. Long, luxurious hair, elegant clothes, and a figure to match — that’s Dottie! With such a combination she could not miss making friends, especially those of the male species. Dottie has given more good times to more people, in her blue convertible, than anybody else we know. ANNA SHIRLEY COMITA Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville. Good-natured Anne, whose ambition is to sing with a big-name band, has lent her talents to Chorus ably for two years. Your friends of W. H. S., who have enjoyed the past years with you, hope your yen for music is satisfied when your dream comes true, Anne! THOMAS WILLIAM COGAN Activities: Baseball. Tom whipped through school, stopping long enough to play base¬ ball, and gave to the sport his undivided attention. Many a feminine eye has been cast on Tom’s curly hair with envy, but with true mas¬ culine indifference he is unaware of this attention. He’s by far the gayest guy when triumphant, but, win or lose, Tom’s equanimity is superb. WILLIAM TARR CUNNINGHAM Activities: Student Council; Chorus; Band; Class Play; Vaudeville; Hockey. Red is that suave young gentleman whom we see strolling down the corridors with that certain twinkle in his eye, strictly for the fairer sex. He has a tremendous capacity for making friends wherever he goes, which is easy to understand when you consider that particu¬ larly nice warm smile of his. A bit of a temper that matches his hair makes Red one of the most interesting members of the class of ’46. MARJORIE COLLIANDER Activities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Class Vice-President, ’45. Collie, a very cute brownette, has been on the permanent honor roll for four years, and that is an achievement to be proud of. Speak¬ ing of achievements. Collie is a whiz-bang typist with a word per minute record that rivals an expert’s. She finishes up the things she starts, a trait we all admire. CONRAD DANA Tufts College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Vaudeville; Science Club; Math Club; Track. Connie may be quiet and unassuming in the classrooms and halls of W. H. S., but just get him out on a ski trail and he proves him.self one of those smooth upright performers, and we do mean upright. Connie will always be remembered for his friendly smile. ABERJOXA • 1946 13 JOSEPH JOHN DERRO, JR. Activities: Student Council, Executive Board, Treasurer; Chorus, Treasurer; Class Play; Vaudeville; Thrift Association; Football; Class Treasurer, ’45. Joe is that happy-go-lucky man about town who always has a cheery hello for those around him. His executive ability won him the position of treasurer of the class in our junior year Joe h ds the common hope of all of us — that of passing United States History. Don’t ever lose that grin, Joe, for it is bound to take you a long way. BARBARA GRAY DONAGHEY Activities: indent Council; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club, President; Basketball; hield Hockey. . .. That tiny, dark-haired girl so often seen mimeographing notices or working for the Library Club (.she’s president) is Rabbit. A whiz on the basketball court and hockey field, she’s a great athlete and you should see her swim! Rabbit has placed in almost every meet at Wedge Pond, and she aspires to be a swimming champ some day. MARIETTA DE TESO Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Red Cross; Basketball. With pretty hair and pretty eyes, Mary is a girl that you look at twice — that luscious wavy hair and those dark eyes to match. Well, Mary is a girl who merits that second look and even a prolonged gaze. Furthermore, she has the luck to combine brains with looks and is no stranger to the honor roll. CHARLES THOMAS DOUCETTE, JR. Tufts Medical School Activities: Thrift Association. . Charlie’s the fellow you often see scurrying around m a very busi¬ nesslike manner, with a cheery “Hi for all. He has the brain power to go a long way, along with a grand sense of humor. It is rumored that Charlie will be in the Navy before too long, so keep smiling and may you go on making friends wherever the Admirals send you! KATHLEEN DEVLIN Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Basketball. Kay, that good-looking girl with the calm and composed manner, is not one to lose her temper, except on rare occasions. Well liked by many, her attractive smile is never to be forgotten. Her ambition is to become Mrs. A. J. (Wonder who that could be.! ) THOMAS DRAPEAU Boston University Medical School Tom is that suave, red-haired traffic lieutenant whom you ve all seen in the middle of the first floor corridor. Remember, single file and no whistling! Traveling is Tom’s favorite activity, and some day he hopes to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. To all the fairer sex who indulge in lipstick wearing — beware! Tom’s pet peeve is too much of that glamour on girls (0-ho!). Tom’s always ready with a smile, an open-sesame to the good things in life. MARY FRANCES DI MAMBRO Activities: Chorus. Attractive, dark-eyed Mary, the girl who likes dancing, swimnaing and football, is planning to concentrate her many interests into becoming a fashion expert. Her good taste now would indicate that she has chosen the right field. Who knows, we may some day see flashed on the screen, “Gowns by Mary Di Mambro.” ROSEMARY ANN DROHAN Radcliffe College Activities: Red and Black, Advertising Manager; Aberjona, Staff Editor; Chorus; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaude¬ ville; Junior Red Cross; Library Club; Dramatic Club, Treasurer. Effervescent Rosie is a girl of many moods. Sparkling with cheer¬ fulness most of the time, she has her serious moments with those who know her best. With cheeks to match her name, this popular girl has brightened many a dull day with her lively laughter. 14 ABERJOMA . 1946 MARJORIE JOAN EBENS Some people call Margie reserved, but her spontaneous smile and love of fun will dispell any such illusions. Crazy about Spanish, she hopes some day to be able to speak it fluently. No doubt we’ll see her “South of the Border’’ one of these days organizing and installing Mexican youth hostels. JENNIE LOU ELLIO ' TT Wellesley College Activities: Honor Roll; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus, Trea.surer, Vice-President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club, Secretary; Aberjona Club; Math Club; Basketball; Class Secretary, ’46; Junior-Senior Prom Committee. Although Jennie Lou’s petiteness is the cause of the thwarting of her own secret ambit ion (to grow four or five inches), it contributed to her great success as leading lady in the class play. Jenny Lou is an actress of superior ability. Her art is not limited to dramatics, for she has a natural gift for drawing which she has put to good use during the last four years. PATRICIA LOUISE EBERLE Colhy Junior College Activities: Honor Roll, Student Council; Secretary, Executive Board; A. A.; Traffic; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaude¬ ville; Junior Red Cross; Aberjona Club; Class Secretary, ’42; Thrift; Basketball; Tennis. Committees galore and never a dull moment — this all-round girl is a born leader. If W. H. S. ever awards “E’’s for efficiency, Pat should be in the front row. She well deserved the Mansfield-Wheeler Cup. NORMA ELIZABETH FARRAR New England Conservatory of Music Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club. N orm is known around school as the girl with the happy disposi¬ tion. Among her many talents are singing, drawing, and piano play¬ ing. Her hobby of collecting insignia from the armed forces all over the world has added to her large circle of friends. JOY ELDRIDGE New England Conservatory of Music Activities: Chorus; Art Club; Red Cross. Joy has a knack for putting everyone at ease. Her long golden hair is a symbol of the gayety she carries with her. Interested in art, she thinks of painting as a hobby, and of music as an ambition. MARTHA MARIE FAY Iowa State College Activities: Red and Black, Advertising Manager; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Basketball; Honor Roll; Vaudeville; Class Play Committee; Chorus; Aberjona. Mardy’s the girl with big brown eyes and a lively sense of humor. She loves to paint, and has a passion for symphonies and the United States Navy. She’s always agreeable and willing to take responsi¬ bility. Mardy has a faculty for having fun in such a way that every¬ one else must have fun, too. GEORGE WILLIAM ELLIOTT Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad. El is a sober boy, but has made many friends during his four years in W. H. S. He is a hard worker in every subject he undertakes and successfully made the hon r roll for three years — a proud record. He claims that his pet peeve is taking tests, but judging from that honor roll record, we think he has little to worry about on that score. El’s future plans all seem to be connected with the United States Army, and we all know he will make the grade in the Army. RUDOLPH FERRERA Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Football. W’hen Rudy put down opposite his secret ambition, “The sky is the limit,’’ it told us much about him. Evidently he’s aiming high, and with his fine physique and height, he should be able to reach up and attain that ambition of his. ABERJOMA . 1946 15 ROSE MARY FERRO Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Library Club; Thrift Association. A rather modest girl, Rosie has been quite active in her four years at high school. She enthusiastically took part in several organiza¬ tions. Rosie hopes to see the world, but not via the Navy. BARBARA FRY Middlebury College Activities: Math Club; Basketball; Chorus; Class Play Committee. Barb is one of those few people who combine both brains and beauty successfully — sparkling eyes, beautiful complexion, and ski- jump nose plus straight A’s prove our point. Barb has been with us just this senior year and we all wish that we’d had the pleasure of her company all through high school. BARBARA ELIZABETH FITZGERALD Activities: A. A.; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Library Club. Bobbie, with her vim and vigor, hopes some day to be the “perfect” secretary; and she should be, since she has proved her capabilities at W. H. S. She likes swimming and bowling, and her pet dislike is over-demonstrative people. We hope she will always keep that happy smile and pleasing disposition. JACLYN ANNE GEERTS Rolp School Activities: A. A.; Chorus; Red Cross; Basketball; Aberjona. Have you noticed that bright-eyed, brown-haired girl walking around the corridors of W. H. S..® Well, that’s Jackie. She’s the one that makes study halls and classrooms interesting — the one that can keep you smiling all the time. Almost violent in her likes and dislikes, Jackie has made a lasting impression upon the rest of us. PARKER GRENVILLE FLAGG Massachusetts State College Activities: Trafiic Squad; Red and Black; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Football; Baseball; Basketball, Manager. Zombie, the steam-rolling guard of the football team, has that affable personality that has made him popular with both the sexes. He showed great promise in the executive field by his management of the basketball team. THEODORE ELLIOT GINSBERG Boston University Activities: Traffic Squad; Chorus; Orchestra; Band; Science Club; Track. You’ve seen Ted, that tall thin boy, play a trumpet in the orchestra and the band. Ted hopes to follow in the footsteps of Harry James, his idol. In order to realize this ambition, he practices in the orches¬ tra as well as in the band. His interests, however, are not limited to music, for Ted is a sports enthusiast, and he has won many friends without the use of his trumpet. CHARLOTTE RUTH FLOWERS Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus. One of the pleasantly sedate members of the class. Char has been an honor roll student for three years. Her ambition to go abroad we hope will be fulfilled so she may add to the fine store of knowledge she has acquired at W. H. S. FRANK McClellan gunby, jr. Clemson College Activities: Science Club, Executive Board; Track; Indoor Track; Cross Country. Radiating goodwill, Frank is a happy-go-lucky fellow who knows how to please the “customers” at Winchester High, and at one of the local drugstores. It’s pretty certain that this experience will be of great value when he leaves W. H. S. for Clemson. 16 ABERJOMA 1946 JAMES JOSEPH HAGGERTY United States Marine Corps Activities: Student Council; A. A., Executive Board; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Foo tball, Co-Captain; Baseball; Track; Class President, ’45, ’46. Jim is that good-looking gUy, a little bit shy, who was dynamite on the football field. He was also dynamite with the fair damsels who gazed with longing eye in his direction. His potential All- American toe booted the team to victory in many a tight spot. DOROTHY MARY HICKEY Radcliffe College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Chorus, Equipment Manager; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Library Club; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association. The friendly girl whose fine voice has contributed so much to Chorus is Dotty. She is also manager of the group and has kept its affairs in good order. She tempers her affinity for music with a conscientious interest in scholastic achievement. ROBERT DEFORD HALSTEAD Wesleyan University Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Traffic; Red Cross, Treas¬ urer; Science Club; Cross Country. Bob, with the pleasant smile and the even disposition, can always be counted on to give a friendly greeting in passing. He is an extraor¬ dinarily good tennis player and no laggard on the track. This speed even shows in his sense of humor, which pops forth at the least- expected moment. SUSAN HIGHT Colby Junior College Activities: Student Council; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus, President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Cluli; Thrift Association; Basketball; Field Hockey. Sue, with her Miss America smile and marked gift for putting adjectives to an original use, is one of our most talented seniors. Having proved her ability in numerous Dramatic Club plays and in the 1944 Class Play, she was perfectly cast in this year’s play. BARBARA JEAN HAMMOND Middlebury College A newcomer to W. H. S., Barbs is blessed with a cute figure and a pleasing voice. She came to us from Newton at the beginning of her senior year and has proved that she possesses natural acting ability. She has made lots of friends here in a very short time. MARION HORWOOD Boston University Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Abehjona; Chorus; Orchestra, Secretary; Band; Class Play; Vaude¬ ville; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Thrift Association; Basketball. A staunch supporter of both the orchestra and band, Marion has really been one of the mainstays of the musical life of the school. Her fine voice has added greatly to chorus and her piano playing be¬ tween acts of the vaudeville shows has been most distinctive. Her graciousness has made her one of the nicest girls in the class. Here’s to you. Mar. We appreciate all you’ve done. FRANCIS PAUL HERLIHY Boston University Activities: Vaudeville; Traffic Squad; Red Cross; Football. Two hundred pounds of muscle and brawn describes Head, a human dynamo on the football field. When not giving his all to win for dear old W. H. S., Head heaves bulk ice cream at that popular gathering place beginning with a “B.” This he does with the pur¬ poseful air of a lad who means business. ALICE OTIS JENNINGS Colby College Activities: Red and Black; Aberjona; Vaudeville; Science Club; Dramatic Club. There’s a grin on her face and a happy word in her mind; she has poise and is charmingly likable. With your good sense to back up your happy-go-lucky way, you’re bound to be a worthy addition to the Colby campus, Allie. ABERJOT A . 1946 17 ELIZABETH JENNINGS Colby College Activities: Honor Roll; A. A.; Traffic; Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Class Play Committee; Secretary of Red Cross; Field Hockey; Basketball; Te nnis. Dainty Jennings, another one of those glamazon basketball guards, is just a farm girl at heart; but can she help that Bacall resemblance. ' ' Long, shiny, blonde page-boy, and figure deluxe. Dude really graces the ivy halls, even if she can’t carry a tune. She’s a whiz at tennis and was captain for two years. EVELYN ANN KEITH Katherine Gibbs School Activities: Chorus; Junior Red Cross; Thrift. Mild-mannered Sis, who can always be depended-upon to accom¬ plish whatever she undertakes, is one of the quieter girls of the class. With a certain charm that attracts friends, she has taken an active part in the school’s activities. MARJORIE JOHNSTON Boston University Activities: Honor Roll; Aberjona; Chorus; Orchestra; Class Play; Vaudeville; Junior Red Cross. A faithful and sincere friend — Jerry’s just that. Never getting places on time, she is often seen flying down the halls — late to class. An accomplished pianist, Jerry has given a great deal of pleasure to listeners at countless school performances. ELLEN KENERSON Lasalle Junior College Activities: Student Council; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Aber¬ jona; Chorus; Class Play; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association; Cheer Leading. Ellen, the glamour girl of the senior class, has a charming combi¬ nation of sweetness and sophistication. Kenny topped all her previ¬ ous dramatic success in her senior year with an outstanding per¬ formance in the class play. She has a yen for tall men, especially one. NANCY MAUD JOHNSTON Bennington College Activities: Red and Black; Aberjona; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Art Club; Thrift. Ginger ale may have pep, but Johnny has more. Although she has participated in many other activities, Johnny excels in Chorus and Art. She showed some special insight about certain glamour boys; she was way ahead of the rest of us on “Frankie” and “Van.” THOMAS AIKEN KIRWAN, JR. Dartmouth College Activities: Aberjona; A. A.; A. A. Executive Board, President; TraflBc Squad; Aberjona Club; Band, President; Class Play; Vaudeville; Science Club; Art Club; Track, Captain; Cross Country, Captain. The long, lean legger who neutralizes distance with the speed of a flash has brought fame to W. H. S. and himself with the records he has collected in track. Added to his laurels in this field. Tommy counts a host of friends in the Class of ’46. RALPH DAVIS JOSLIN, JR. Activities: Chorus; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Math Club; Football, Assistant Manager; Basketball. Oim blond-detector finds Ralph’s trail wandering hither and yon through the corridors of W. H. S., but it always seems to lead back to the gym. He is interested in all sports and has taken an active part in football and basketball, acting as assistant manager to both. WILLIAM KNIGHTS Dartmouth College Activities: Student Council; A. A., President; Traffic Squad, Lieu¬ tenant; Red and Black, Staff Editor; Aberjona; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Dramatic Club; Aberjona Club; Football; Tennis; Hockey. Bill made a three-point landing at Winchester High in his sopho¬ more year after one year at Andover. Popular with both boys and girls. Bill was elected president of the A. A. and has led it through a successful year. r 18 ABERJO? [A . 1946 LEONARD ALBERT LANDRY United States Nary Lennie, the strong silent type, is quite appealing to the opposite sex — especially a certain little blonde. Since hockey is I ennie’s favorite pastime, he feels very much at home on skates. Like all his brothers, he is Navy-bound and we know that the Navy will welcome him next summer. VIRGINIA LOVEJOY Connecticut College Activities: Honor Roll; Student Council; Red and Black, Editor, Co-Editor; Aberjona; Class Play; Class Play Committee; Vaudeville; Aberjona Club; Thrift Association; Basket¬ ball, Manager; Field Hockey, Captain; Cheer Leading.

Ever sin ce Irene returned to us in her sophomore year, she has. been famous for her beautiful handmade sweaters. She is also famous for her lovely smile and her ability to look nice always.

PHYLLIS LINDBERG Beverly Hospital Training School Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club. Phyl, the petite and sweet, is one of the most genial girls we know. Her sparkling enthusiasm makes her fun to be with. ’Tis true that the nicest things come in small packages, and in this case the most dynamic do, too. KATHERINE EILEEN MacISAAC Kathleen Dell School Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville. That pretty, petite, pert blonde with the appealing voice has been a mainstay in Chorus for four years, and in Vaudeville for two years. Denie plans to attend Kathleen Dell School, and we know she will be a great asset to any office, as a secretary, unless some music scout discovers her first! FRANK BROWN LIVINGSTONE Harvard University Activities: Honor Roll; Red and Black; Science Club; Math Club; Hockey. Frank is one of the more reserved members of the senior class with a combination of brains and a sense of humor — pretty good proof of a pretty good guy. Frankie’s size makes him one of the fastest wings on the hockey team, and he really knows how to handle a puck. RICHARD LEONARD M. cNEILL Massachusetts State College Activities: Hockey, Class Play. When not playing a good hard game of hockey, Mac can be found ice-fishing in the winter, and fishing in the nearby lakes and streams in the summer. No doubt this love of fishing is what gives him that meditative manner which is so very intriguing. Let’s hope the days ahead at Mass State will help him get a line on the best in life. Pull in a big catch, Mac. ABERJOKA . 1946 19 JAMES KEVIN MAGUIRE Activities: Student Council; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Aberjona; Class Play; Vaudeville; Science Club.

He has the police well trained, for they look the other way whenever he whizzes past. His ambition is to become a state policeman, probably because he wants to hang those pretty tickets on car doors. Knobby is a true angler, along with his many other talents, and can tell those traditional fish stories, to the delight of his many friends. MARILYN ANN MAGUIRE Kathleen Dell School Activities: Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville.

JEANNE ELIZABETH MARCEAU University of New Hampshire Activities: Honor Roll; Vaudeville.

May she find her full share of it, as she and Margie pursue their favorite activity of bicycling to youth hostels. CECILIA LORETTA MALLOY Cecilia, the individualist, scorning the short or the long bob, wears her brownette hair in two shining braids in coronet style. She is one of those amiable persons who has no pet peeve, and she is eager to become an aviatrix. Keep ’em flying, Cecilia! SHEILA MARGARET MARTIN “The friendly girl with the carefree air” describes Sheila who, like many other members of the class, is planning to take the business world by storm. Sheila’s easy-going, unruffled disposition should help her accomplish this aim. Sheila maintains a constant interest in the happenings of the school and the class. This personal interest has won many friends. NOLA FERN MANDERVILLE Activities: Honor Roll; Chorus; Vaudeville; Thrift A.ssociation.

Beautiful complexion, streamlined figure with clothes to match, Kirk has her father’s analytical brain offset by a giggle.

Peppy and always ready with a humorous quip — that is Mickey, the girl who has the ability to make everyone laugh.

Although Lillie is shy and quiet when one first meets her, her friends know that she is just the opposite when the occasion arises. Lillie hails from the deep South and has won her way into the hearts of many so-called Yankees, especially a Yankee sailor. What will the vaudeville do without “Lil”. ' ' PETER SANFORD MEIGS Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Athletic Association; Science Club, President; Math Club. Pete is one of a few w’ho really know how to study and does so, but in doing so does not sacrifice his winning smile and pleasing per¬ sonality. Having represented many of the clubs in school, he will, no doubt, be one of those “big representatives” at M. I. T. The scientific world had better look out for its laurels when Pete enters it, HELEN FRANCES McGOWAN Massachusetts General Hospital Activities: Chorus; Library Club; Red Cross; Hockey. One of those serene persons who gives you a feeling of ease . . . Helen fits this description. Taking an active part in hockey, she really knows how to handle that ball.

GORDON MILLS Yale University Activities: Science Club; Track; Golf; Junior-Senior Prom Committee. Gordon came to W. H. S. in his junior year from New Haven, Connecticut, where he starred on New Haven’s swimming team. He spends his summers winning riding trophies, but has lately given this up in favor of washing dishes at a summer hotel in Maine. Gordon is sure to succeed at Yale, and after that to live in the vicinity of “Lynn.” LILLIAN ELIZABETH McGRAIL Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Library; Dramatic Club; Thrift Association. Vivacious and talkative, Lil holds people alert when she enters the scene. Her mixture of spontaneous remarks with a sophisticated attitude somewhat baffles us.

Executive Board; Red and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club; Aberjon. ; Basketball; Field Hockey; Cheer Leading. Muffin keeps her finger in almo.st every activity in a most vivacious manner. Her pep on the athletic field and in the swimming pool contribute to making her a star. The freedom and exuberance which show up in her enthusiasm for sports is also visible in her art work. The success of many school activities has been due in great measure to June’s artistic contributions. ABERJOTslA . 1946 21 JAMES MORRISON Activities: A. A. Executive Board, Vice-President; Chorus; Dramatic Club; Football; Track. Jim is one of those fellows who has the gift of gab, and who is able to talk himself in or out of any situation.

Jim will be missed, for he has added a great deal of color to school life. FRANCIS JAMES NOLAN Harvard University Activities: Honor Roll; A. A., Executive Board; Traffic Squad; Chorus; Vaudeville; Junior-Senior Prom Committee; Stu¬ dent Council, Advisory Board; Football; Basketball; Base¬ ball, Captain.

Quiet, demure, and pretty is Mary, who can usually be seen in a certain maroon convertible. She came to us from Danvers in her sophomore year, and as a member of Chorus for three years, has sung her way into our hearts. JOSEPH JOHN NOONAN Joe, the strong silent type, is an ardent sports fan. When he can take his mind off the sports pages long enough, Joe nourishes a secret ambition to fly (pilots take warning!).

Her intelligence and her aptitude for writing made her a “natural ’ as feature editor of the Red and Black and Co-Editor of the Aberjona. May you always meet your dead-line! ROBERT FRANCIS PERRY Another ardent sports fan. Beany wishes to become a sports writer. (Of course the fact that these lucky fellows get the best seats at all sports events couldn’t have anything to do with this ambition!) If you want to know how your favorite team made out, just ask Beany. He’s got the qualities to make good, and we’re sure we’ll be reading some pungent, pithy sports reviews, signed with Beany’s by-line.

Suave, sociable Pat, he of the Bing Crosby sport jackets, is the despair of the girls in the senior class. With a limitless capacity for taking part in a large number of activities, he is a well-rounded chap (we don’t mean physically) and is so friendly and cordial, he’ll be well liked wherever he goes. RICHARD CHARLES POWERS Massachusetts Institute of Technology Activities: Honor Roll; Thrift Association; Hockey; Baseball. A permanent member of the Honor Roll, Dick is one of the brilliant boys of the class. If you don’t know the answer to something, just ask Dick.

MARY JAYNE PENTA Activities: Chorus; Red Cross; Thrift Association; Library Club. A girl with plenty of get-up-and-go, M. J. is vigor personihed.

Although she may seem quiet, those who know her well all agree that she is a fun-loving and enthusiastic sort!

ELIZABETH JAYNE ROGERS Activities: Chorus; Thrift Association; Vaudeville. Betty arrives at school promptly at 8:29 each morning but still has time for a word and a smile for everyone.

Dark eyes, wavy blue-black hair and a bashful grin — that’s Pat, captain of girls’ basketball and all-round athlete, even though drinking unpasteurized milk put her out of commission in the fall, and a broken finger incapacitated her during basketball season! She aspires to score in hockey (the gal’s a goalie!). JOAN ESTEY ROBINSON Middlebury College Activities: Honor Roll; Traffic Squad; Red and Black; Aberjona, Co-Editor; Chorus; Orchestra; Class Play; Red Cross; Science Club; Dramatic Club; Math Club; Basketball.

MARJORIE RYERSON Activities: Class Play Committee; Science Club; Golf. Doll-like and dainty, Marj is a witty, merry maid who keeps other folks happy.

That man-about-town, seen industriously pedalling to keep the housewives supplied with good things to eat, is competent Herbie. Pleasant and helpful, he’s getting experience working for one of the local grocers: “The customer is always . . .” Herbie has also been helpful in the Red Cross, as many a frantic representative will testify WILLIAM TOY SHOEMAKER H Bowdoin College Activities: Basketball; Baseball. Bill is a quiet, unassuming boy with a great love for professional sports. He is an ardent follower of most of the professional teams, and a staunch supporter of the Boston Bruins. Bill’s keen sense of humor will help him to win friends at Bowdoin as he has at W. H. S. MARY DEAN SNELL Perry Kindergarten School Activities: Chorus; Dramatic Club. Mild-mannered Mary Dean will make the perfect kindergarten teacher. With her gentle ways, it is a sure bet that all her pupils will like her. They’ll appreciate her singing cute lullabies which four years of Chorus have taught her. JOANNE SIMONDS Colhy Junior College Activities: R ed and Black; Chorus; Vaudeville; Red Cross; Art Club; Field Hockey; Science Club, Secretary. Humorous, peppy, and poised is a good combination of adjectives for Josie, the unfailing center of attraction. Josie’s ambition is to be one of those artists, and we think that she has much talent. Her interests include science as well as art; and her ambition, medical- artistry, is a fortunate combination of these interests. RICHARD GEORGE SNELL Bowdoin College When he isn’t in school, we find Dick, a shy and unassuming blond fellow, juggling sodas down at the Winchester Drug. A winter sports enthusiast, Dick’s favorite pastimes are skiing and skating. He dislikes braggarts and hopes some day to be an executive in an insur¬ ance office.

All of you know Bob for his eflBcient managing of the Aberjona this year. A sports enthusiast — a stalwart on both the track and hockey teams!

Bob’s one of those all-around fellows with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly “Hi” for everyone. KENNETH RUSSELL SYMMES United States Army Air Corps Activities: Traffic Squad; Aberjona; Chorus; Band; Science Club; Track. Have you noticed a very good-looking boy whizzing around town on a motorcycle. The chances are it is Kenny. He’s salvaged and owned more motorcycles than anyone in Winchester.

Behind the tiller of a sailboat and on a swift downhill ski trail, he’s no novice. May you “slay ’em”! WILBUR DALE STUMP, JR. Mass achusetts Institute of Technology Dale, with some of that Southern finesse, came to us in his sopho¬ more year, left us for private school his junior year, but liked us so well, he came back to graduate with the class of ’46.

A superb sailor, he has walked off with several cups for his expert sailing, besides entering the Eastern Championship races in New York last spring. Along with sailing, Swanee’s favorite activities are playing hockey and dancing (ask Ellen). What more could any¬ one ask? MARCIA ANN TURNER Activities: Aberjona; Chorus; Red Cross; Thrift. We find Marcia an active but quiet girl who always has a word for everyone. Petite and cheerful, Marcia has high ambitions in the art field and from what we have seen of her work, there isn’t a doubt but what these ambitions will be fulfilled in an exceptional manner. 26 ABERJOKA . 1946 ERNEST ARTHUR TUTEIN, III Dartmouth College Activities: Traffic; Class Play; Vaudeville; Football; Track. Tall, dark and handsome, Tutie, with a certain strong, silent manner that baffies the opposite sex at times, left a big void when he went to private school the last half of the senior year.

Tall and good-looking describes this man-about-school known to all of us as Van. Returning to W. H. S. this year after two years with Uncle Sam’s Navy, Van lost no time in getting back into school activities.

NATALIE ETHEL WARSKY Vermont Junior College Activities: Aberjona; Chorus; Band; Class Play; Class Play Com¬ mittee; Red Cross; Dramatic Club; Basketball. Nat came to W. H. S. as a sophomore. Fairly bursting with pep and personality, she is the center of attraction wherever she is. Her dramatic career came to a head this year when she was given one of the leads in the Class Play.

May you have good going on the road ahead, and may you never have an “engine that won’t start.” EILEEN RUTH WELCH Activities: Chorus; Vaudeville; Library Club; Basketball; Field Hockey. A great asset to both the basketball and hockey teams, Irish has been an indispensable and irreplaceable player.

She hopes some day to be a doctor of surgery, and we know Eileen has the makings for just such a profession. A B E RJ 07 A . 1946 27 BRADFORD DAY WHITTEN Another motorcycle enthusiast, like Kenny, Bunny makes a big noise both in school and out. He is the kind you’d call a good guy, with the qualities of personality everybody likes. He hopes to have a business of his own some day, and we hope he gets as much fun out of it as he has had in W. H. S. MYRNA ZAMANAKOS University of California Activities: Honor Roll; Red Cross; Student Council, Advisory Board; Class Secretary, ’43; A. A.; Class Play Committee; Vaude¬ ville Committee; Basketball; Cheer Leader. Minna needs no introduction to any of us. She’s that well-dressed, good-natured gal with a happy smile. She has a cheery “Hi” for everyone, which has won her many friends. Minna loves sports and has supported all contests. Personality (in those familiar flashy slacks) describes Minna, and a truer friend couldn’t be found. JANET MARIE ZINN One girl who helps promote friendly relations between the senior class and the under classes is certainly Janet. Janet has pep, and a gift for making friends, both sparked by many winning ways. All in all, “one swell pal.” SHIRLEY ANN ZIRKEL Regis College Activities: Chorus. Shirl can talk on any and every subject, enjoys a good argument, and almost always wins out in the end. Underneath a composed exterior lurks a bit of fire. Shirley has her share of brains and uses them to the best advantage, an excellent formula for achievement. When Shirley gets past the novice stage with her four-wheeled dobbin, we advise all jay-walking pedestrians to watch their step. il 28 ABER]0HA ■ 1946 Superlatives t DONE MOST FOR THE SCHOOL If you look up their records throughout their four years in high school, you will find that Patsy Eberle and Bob Swanson have outdone themselves in working for the betterment of Winchester High School. Deserving worthy praise are Ginnie Lovejoy and Tommy Kirwan, who are close runners ' up for this honor. WITTIEST The score was close, but Mary Penta and Parker Flagg came out in front as class wits. Immediately behind these two were Jackie Geerts and Jimmie Maguire, who are seldom at loss for a witty remark. BEST ATHLETE Chosen as best athletes were Patty Root and Sam Tibaudq. Besides being captain of basketball and football respectively, they are both three-letter winners. Dudie Jennings, twice cap¬ tain of the tennis team, and Jimmy Haggerty, co-captain of football, were seconds in this race. BEST FIGURE The Charles Atlas award of our class goes to brawny Jim Haggerty-. Of the fairer sex, Irene Lundin easily captured the position of Venus. The second figures in this race for figures were Ellen Kenerson and Sam Tibaudo, who counted close in the voting. ABERJOHA ■ 1946 29 Superlatives MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Barb Fry, with her impressive record of having the highest scholastic rating in our class, and Sam Perkins, that mathematical wizard who doesn’t trail far behind, are sure to go a long way. Two others who ought to go far in this world are Patsy Eberle and Don Armstrong. MOST POPULAR We could hardly have gone wrong when we selected Patsy Eberle and Bob Swanson as the most popular boy and girl in our class. Their winning personalities have won for them a great many lasting friendships. Hats off to Ginnie Lovejoy and Jimmie Haggerty, who rival them for first place. BEST LOOKING Of the feminine pulchritude in this class, Phyll Bucci tops them all. Tall, dark, and handsome Jimmy Haggerty leads the long list of good ' looking boys. Attractive Dudie Jennings fob lows Phyll, and Kenny Symmes gave Jimmy plenty of compe ' tition. BEST ALL ' ROUND SENIORS Patsy Eberle tallied again when she was shown by an impressive vote to be her classmates’ choice for best alLround member of her class. Bill Knights joins Patsy in this welL deserved honor. Ginny Lovejoy and Don Armstrong are matched for second place. 30 ABERJOHA 1946 Pint Row: M. Colliander, J. Robinson, V. Lovejoy, B. Fry, M. Armato Second Row; B. Walters, R. Blackham, R. Powers Permanent Honor 11 “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.’’ How familiar is that statement! Apparently there are some people who can practice this even though they may rather do something else, anything else, instead. In our first three years of high school, we felt no such pressure from colleges as we now do. At that time the draft took care of all graduating boys and the girls had any number of chances to go to college. Now we suddenly find ourselves confronted by closed doors in whatever direction we look. Peacetime competition with the added factor of veterans competing, both for education and jobs, is proving a stiff wall to buck against. Hence those who have maintained such high averages in all subjects are going to find that their efforts will not be unrewarded. They will have, besides their records on little pieces of paper, an assurance that they can and have succeeded in competition with one hundred and forty classmates. They have experienced the sensation of success not as a matter ruled by chance alone, but as a matter affected by their own continued efforts. For these seniors have maintained yearly averages of eighty or above in all their subjects each year they have been in school, from the ninth through the twelfth. Nor are these people one-sided. You will find most of them pictured in several activity groups elsewhere in the book. They make time for work and time for play. More power to them! ABERJOAJ A . 1946 31 Boys will play!

Perhaps one of the reasons for the Council’s success was the fact that this year there were two faculty advisers instead of one, Mr. Card supplementing the excellent work of Mr. Cooper. Continuing the paper drive of previous years, a committee consisting of Dick Kleber, Jim Maguire, Dick Brackett, and Bill Cunningham collected many tons of much-needed paper. Instead of the truck employed by former Councils, private cars were offered by different members, and home-room time was devoted to going from house to house, gathering amounts too large to be carried by hand. One of the major projects sponsored by the Council was a full-scale cleanup of the cafeteria. By means of catchy posters, home-room notices, and an efficient monitor system, an appreciable improvement was made in only a few weeks. Under the monitor guidance, many improved in their aim for the basket and tables were left empty of refuse and waste paper. Mr. Card made an attempt to reduce the din of the lunchroom by offering recorded music as a substitute. The plan failed, however, because of the lack of a workable broadcasting system. Thus the Student Council, thanks to the enthusiastic members and excellent student support, carried out a highly successful program in 1945-1946. ABERJOHA ■ 1946 37 First Rou ' ; C. Rosander, D.

The squad was headed by Don Armstrong, chief, and Tom Drapeau, Connie Rosander, and Tom Kirwan, lieutenants on the first, second, and third floors respectively. Mr. Cooper was the faculty adviser. The Wad- leigh Building experimented by not having a traffic squad for the first half of the year. This idea did not prove satisfactory; therefore, after midyears a traffic squad was formed under the direction of Mr. Weafer, and traffic flowed smoothly in the Wadleigh Building from then on. 38 ABERJOHA ■ 1946 First Row: J.

The headquarters of the Association, was as usual, Room 13, where the complex business of receiving the individual homeroom reports and figuring the total percentage of the school was handled by Ginny Lovejoy and her staff of assistants. The Wadleigh Building was under the direction of Robert Ekberg and David Smith who, together with the bankers under them, strove for 100 per cent every time. The Main building was under the management of Pat Patterson, Vice-President, and Conrad Rosander, President, who led the building on to glorious results. It is hoped that the Thrift Association has accomplished its purpose in school life: to establish in each student the habit of regular banking which can be carried on into later life.

With her help the officers and the executive board, consisting of Scott Doub, Nancy O’Rourke, Roger Creelman, M. J. Browning, Jan Foley, Bob Halstead, Scotty Wallace and Sally Holmes, planned the entire year’s work, which was so ably performed by the numerous volunteer home room representatives. Since the J. R. C. was relieved of its onerous task of selling war stamps and bonds, it could now de vote all of its energies to the school and local drives. The first drive of the year was for the membership of the school. They attained a hundred per cent membership and oversubscribed the drive by forty dollars, which went into the working fund. The second drive of the year was for ashtrays for use in veterans’ hospitals. The quota was one hundred. The club collected two hundred and one plus contributions of seventeen dollars, which went into the treasury. During the winter months the]. R. C. still kept rolling by having various drives and contributing their services to different organizations. In the latter part of November thej. R. C. called for volunteers to help fold the Christmas seal letters. Forty students turned out and in two hours prepared three thousand letters for mailing in Winchester. The first week in December brought forth the third drive of the year, that of collecting Christmas cards to be given to veterans in hospitals. The original goal was five hundred cards; nearly thirteen hundred were received, most of which were supplied by the conscientious efforts of the freshman class. Early injanuary, on the request of Mr. Norris, thej. R. C. sponsored a clothing drive for the “Save the Children Federation.’’ Sally Holmes made an excellent chairman, and enough clothing was collected to fill fourteen large bags. Came the first signs of spring and thej. R. C. set about to complete three final drives: the freshman class was responsible for making ten comic- strip books; the]. R. C. as a whole pledged themselves to the process of knitting three afghans; Miss Nivens’s sewing class was apportioned the task of making twenty-five ditty bags. The three drives were brought to a successful completion by the faithful and diligent work of their numerous volunteers. The Junior Red Cross is looking forward to sending two representatives, Gerry Maggio and Joseph Santo, to the Junior Red Cross Conference in Philadelphia this June. 40 ABERJONA • 1946 First Row: K.

An executive board was chosen to help plan the meetings of this year. It consists of eight members, who were chosen by the club, namely: foan Robinson, Mary ]ean Browning, Klaus Halm, Melissa Meigs, Thomas Thornton, Robert Halstead, Frank Gunby, and ]ohn O’Brien. The club has been very ably supervised by Doctor Alley and is much indebted to him for assistance and helpful suggestions. The main purpose of the Science Club this year, as it has been every year, has been to stimulate interest in science and the progress of science. There were lectures on the atomic bomb and its chemical make-up, and genuine secondhand information on the first experiment in New Mexico from Klaus Halm. Charles Enwright lectured to the club on jet and rocket principles, and their possible use in aircraft design. With the use of several diagrams and simple experiments he demonstrated the basic laws involved, such as Newton’s law of opposite reactions. Charles discussed and compared the various types of engines so far developed, and he described the principles used in each case. He explained different fuels u.sed in the jet planes and the charges used in rockets. Also he described the possibilities of interplanetary travel and the difficulties involved. On March 6 Kenneth Donaghey gave a demonstration on small arms ammunition. He discussed the various powder sizes and characteristics, and the effects of the different designs of bullets. With the aid of several specialized tools, Kenneth loaded a few shells to demonstrate the processes and terms employed. Also he discussed the advantages of loading one’s own shells, such as greater accuracy and lower costs. At the end of the meeting Sam Perkins exhibited a German late model automatic pistol, the P-38. At the November meeting of the Science Club the club voted to spend some of the money in the treasury to buy something that could be used in the Science Department of the school. The club decided to buy a blowtorch. With this torch, which was demonstrated at a later meeting, it is possible to obtain temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Centigrade.

Dingwell ath ( luh “Find the smallest number divisible by thirteen which gives a remainder of one when divided by any number less than thirteen.” This is just a sample of one of the more difficult problems that the President of the Math Club, Sam Perkins, presents now and then. Age problems, intricate geometric originals, brain teasers that not only test mathematical ability but also knowledge of days, weeks, and months in a year, progression problems, exponent equations and proportions — they all come up and are solved. The last meeting in April was a mathematical evening party. This gala event, which was to be the last fling of the mathematicians before most of them graduated, was complete with food for the mind in the way of numerical crossword puzzles and numerous other tricks pulled from the sleeves of the planning committee. Sam Perkins, Corinne Marvin, the secretary ' elect of the club, and Mr. Butters, the faculty adviser, were in charge of the evening’s entertainment. The high spot was a contest that was carried on with much competition from both sides. Prizes were awarded to the lucky ones and the remainder of the thirty resolved to try again next year if they could. Let it not be said that mathematics cannot be entertaining; these students have presented conclusive evidence to the contrary. In fact, that is the purpose of the club, to have fun with math. What might seem academic to some is a joy forever to these members. Enthusiasm to “get it right” runs high and every meeting this year l s run overtime. The half hour allotted for the meetings never seems long enough, and only by 3.15 do the members come away reluctantly, still arguing heatedly about the last problem. 42 ABERJOACA . 1946 J.

Orchestra Every Tuesday morning during first period and every Wednesday during second period, the orchestra meets in the auditorium for fifty minutes of hard work and enjoyment. The orchestra this year is under the direction of Miss Stoddart. It has added notably to its already full repertoire, now including “Echoes from Grand Opera,” “Pavanne,” “Connecticut Yankee,” “The Cossack Dance,” and “Overture to the Third Act of Lohengrin.” The orchestra made its 1945-1946 debut on the fifteenth of December, supplying an overture for theJunior ' Senior Class Play. Its selections included “Echoes from Grand Opera” and “The Cossack Dance.” Its next appearance was just before the Christmas holidays when, together with the Choral Art Group, it presented a Chr istmas program to the Rotary Club. This year the officers have included Kenneth Brandt as president, Joseph Giacalone as vice-president, and Max Keeney as concert master. With the concert for an ultimate goal, the orchestra members have worked diligently and enthusiastically to smooth their tones and shade the finished product. ABERJOKA . 1946 43 (L. to R.) D.

The Framingham football game was the event for the first public appearance of the band, which added much spirit and enthusiasm to the gathering. The band made its debut without the attraction of uniforms, however. When these arrived, the band was the feature attraction of a special assembly. The entire student body was much impressed by the sight of Winchester High’s own band clad in the traditional colors, red and black. During the half at the Wakefield game, our band played school songs and marched on the field, led by Charles Enright and the drum majorettes. The band pre¬ sented an excellent appearance and showed its skill in music as well. After this the band played at the remainder of the football games and at school assemblies. The forming of this band was the realization of an idea long cherished by the students and townspeople of Winchester. N4iss Alma Stoddart, the band’s director, Mr. Norris, our superintendent, Mr. Graves, as acting principal, and many others deserve especial credit for the sympathy with which they received the idea of a band and the help they gave to furthering its organization. Tom Kirwan is president; Dave Wylie, vice-president; Joe Giacolone, treasurer; and Marion Horwood, secretary. Bob Duck¬ worth and Ted Covert as equipment managers, and Dave Frizzell as business manager have all functioned admi¬ rably. The band has greatly added to school life and has become a vital part of Winchester High. 44 ABERJOKA . 1946 CHORUS OFFICERS First Row: Second Row: Third Rou ' ; J. Derro, F. Serratore, S.

The membership of the chorus this year was so large that it seemed advisable to divide the club into two groups: the Red Chorus, composed of former members; and the Black Chorus, composed of new members. The hrst public appearance of the Chorus this year was at the Greater Boston United War Fund program held on October 7 in the Winchester Town Hall. Then came the Christmas season and a Choral Art Group, consisting of thirty selected voices, together with the Orchestra, presented a Christmas program to the Rotary Club; just before school adjourned for the holidays, the entire Chorus presented a candlelight program, consisting of the traditional carols and a tableau. In April, Vaudeville time arrived. For this event the Choral Art Group and other selected groups spent much time rehearsing and the final effect reflected much credit on them. Sue Right was elected president of the Girls’ Glee Club; ]ennie Lou Elliott, vice-president; Sally Blanchard, secretary; and]ane Rainie, treasurer; Ellen Right, Dorothy Hickey, Mary Stuart Parker, and]oan Donaghey have served as librarians.

With Ginny Lovejoy and Marilyn Campbell as Co ' Editors, the Ral and Black has reported all the latest news and the most recent trivia. Since for the first time in years the Red and Black was pulled out of debt by the superlative efforts of Advertising Manager Rosemary Drohan and her staff, an assortment of cartoons was purchased to help boost the artistic side of the paper. Some of the new columns to be found in the Ral and Black are “Parenthesis” by Dick “Neal O’Hara” Brackett, and Ed Hicks’ inspired sports articles. On the front page, the news scoop of the return of our principal, Colonel Crindle, the news briefs marshalled under the heading of “Under the Ivy” and all W.H.S. activities have been correctly reported to the student body. At the core of the Red and Black are the editorials, written to show the editor’s and the staff’s views about controversial questions arising in our school life, questions that range from smoking to examinations. The feature page, edited by Marg Parkhurst, has provided interest, fun and levity throughout the year. With the cooperation of the staff of the Windiestcr Star, who print our paper, and Mr. Keeney, our faculty adviser, the Red and Black, during a star- studded year, has again proved itself a popular, important, and much-needed highlight of Winchester High School.

Or, being given an assignment, you wonder where in the dictionary you can find three hundred words that might apply to such an unpromising subject. However, someone must have found some words, for here they are! Miss Crockett, our faculty adviser, supplied the push to get us going and kept us polishing the product. Marg Parkhurst and Joan Robinson were chosen as co ' editors for this year’s publication. Marg has lined up the various assignments, writing numerous articles herself. Joan has worked with Miss Crockett and Richard Blackham arranging the dummy. Rosie Drohan has spent many hours arranging group pictures, and, after the pictures were taken, more minutes trying to decide who in all photography ' could possibly be represented by that blur of white over a dark pair of trousers. But after all, none of this would have been of great value — just a waste of paper, midnight oil, and study periods — if Bob Spang, our busy and efficient business manager, hadn’t pro- vided us with a sufficiency of funds. Tom Kirwan and Richard Blackham cropped our senior pictures. Tom put together our candid pages, too. Speaking of pictures, we send orchids, etched ones of course, to June Moffette for the art work on the various division pages. Myrna Zamanakos and Phyl Bucci undertook the task of having the typing classes put our material in proper shape for publication.

Halstead Aherjona Society Football heroes, athletic teams, honor roll students, and good sportsmen have always been recognized by awards, but those hard working committee, club, and vaudeville participants, who are the backbone of school life, now have their own awards in the form of a maroon emblem. This recognition has been given since the inception of this honorary society in 1943 by Bert Moore. A high school education is not only the routine of studying in a classroom or belonging to a sports team. It is also a period when students can try to find out what particular fields of work attract them most and to which they are best suited. This is what the Aberjona Society encourages. To become a member one must have earned a total of thirty points. Many students, however, received well over this number of points this year, and some have become members in their junior year because of their unusually high number of activities. The points range in value according to the honor of the position. A few individuals secure coveted points by having received “A” averages in their subjects. If he has the requisite points, a newcomer to Winchester High School may become a member in good standing of the Aberjona Club. The Society list has been revised since it was first published, and plans are now started to make the list of credits for membership definite and inflexible so that only the most worthy activities will be recognized. There is a saying that we get out of our lives just what we put into them, and this holds true also in our high school life and in our honorary Society, the Aberjona Club, in which all students are offered the opportunity to gain the respect and recognition of their fellow-students through direct contribution and capable participation in worthwhile activities.

Ah, wonder no more, this is where the Winchester High School Library Club rolls up its proverbial sleeves and goes to work. Each week every member of the club gives up one of her study periods. During these forty minutes out of every week these members are gaining an insight into the system of checking books in and out, and of how books are classihed. Each is responsible for her own length of book shelf, which must be kept clean and in order. These girls work at the desk and also in the confer¬ ence room, rejuvenating and mending books. The junior librarians entertain in the library, or go far afield for bowling, roller skating, splash parties, and picnics. Voluntary committees arrange programs for the meetings after school in the library. Games about books and authors, skits and other activities designed for pleasure only are the order of the day in these lively assemblies. The seniors of the club who act as right-hand men to the faculty adviser. Miss Livingstone, are Barbara Donaghey, president of the club, Helen McGowan, Rose Ferro, Dottie Hickey, Eileen Welch, Mary Carroll, and Mary Armato.

Under the deft direction of Miss Bailey, with Mark Strawbridge handling the back stage work, the Society produced three one ' act comedies. The first of these, a sparkling saga of the American home, was “Who Gets the Car Tonight?” Starring in this play were Ellen Kenerson, Rosanne Borden, Conrad Rosander, John Patterson and Dick Brackett. The second production, entitled “Rehearsal,” was something new and different, for it portrayed the cast of a play while rehearsing just before the opening night. Featured in this unusual production were Barbara Johnson, Dorothy Byford, Barbara Hammond, Rosanne Borden, Carolyn Reeves, and Sue Neily. The third and final presentation, “The Crimson Cocoanut,” was a comedy in which bomb plots were rampant. A seasoned cast included Jennie Lou Elliot, Dorothy Clarke, John Rutherford, Pat Patterson, Bob Singer and Dick Brackett. The Dramatic Society succeeded in creating an enjoyable interlude in the more serious program of the student body and gave its members an opportunity to tread the boards and wander in the pleasant land of make-believe.

The play was presented to the Marine General Hospital several days before the scheduled date, and thus the cast was well seasoned before the curtain went up in the Winchester High School auditorium on December 15. The pressure of midyears prevented the acceptance of Lovell General Hospital’s invitation to present the play there. The play is a satirical saga of an American home, and therefore centers around the perplexing activities of the younger daughter of the household, ]udy. This part was ably portrayed by]ennie Lou Elliott, who showed professional qualities in her adaptation of the part of a twelve-year-old girl. Her masterful handling of this role played a major part in the success of the production. As Harry Graves, ]ack Grimes was a typical mustachioed father, bewildered by the antics of his young offspring. As his wife, Grace, Sue Hight brought out the patience and under¬ standing of a typical American mother. Natalie Warsky, in the part of Fluffy Adams, reproduced the indomitable candor of the younger generation and provided the audience with many laughs. She was well supplemented by]im Maguire as her brother and Charles Enright as the young man of science, breaking in his first tuxedo. Ellen Kenerson portraying Lois Graves, a typical older sister, was characteristicallv disgusted by her younger sister’s unsophisticated ways. Her mvriads of beaux. Bill Knights, Briant van der Wyk, ]im Haggerty, ]ohn Rutherford, Parker Flagg, and Pat Patterson, appropriately showed up at the most embarrassing moments and permitted themselves to be told to leave time and again by whoever happened to be on the stage. The irrepressible Hilda, played by ]oan Robinson, had her troubles with the duties of the maid of the house and played her part to the utmost. Dick Kleber, the business tycoon, was excellent in his part, giving it the exact amount of gruffness and abruptness that it demanded. Dorothy Clarke, in the romantic lead, combined the urbanity of a well-to-do young business woman with timidity of first-love to perfection. The other half of the romantic team was Dick Brackett as Uncle Willis, who hopes he .succeeded in being tall, dark, and fascinating (but as he is writing this, he hesitates to commit himself). Bill Cunningham and Arthur Tutein handled their parts superbly and added the levity so necessary to any successful comedy. ‘‘]unior Miss ” was well directed by Mr. Kotkov, and to him the success of the play is credited. He showed remarkable skill in reproducing the atmosphere of the time and place. The unusually fine scenery was due to the efforts of Mark Strawbndge and his crew of stage hands, Klaus Halm, ]ack Wentworth, Donald Goss. ‘‘]unior Miss” was, we think, equally enjoyable to both the participants and the audience. 52 ABERJOHA ■ 1946 M. Derro Tricky ' Tapping with a style all her ou ' ii “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of vaudeville!’’ That exciting word, “Vaudeville!’’ spreads through the corridors of Winchester High School every spring. All winter, students look forward to “showtime’’ and out of the chaos of casting, costuming, and rehearsing, finally emerges a show, enjoyed by those in it as much as by the audience. This year the show had a plot centered around the little town “Aberjona,” which bore a strange resemblance to Winchester. This resemblance increased as the plot unfolded. From the return of war veterans to the organization of a canteen, all the problems of a small town were illustrated. No one who saw the show will ever forget Mario’s “awakening,’’ Tom Drapeau’s singing, or the swirling costumes of the Tango! Tom and Gerry’s duet added a definitely professional touch to the show. Because of the pop ' ularity of the dance choruses in past years, this year there were six dance groups — two tap choruses, three pony choruses, and an unusual dance called a Fire Dance. To mention all the acts in the Vaudeville would take many pages. It would be better to say — the Vaudeville this year was, as always, a success! V audcvillc G. Errico, D.

Haggerty, Mrs. Matthews Athletic Association This year, the Athletic Association, under the capable leadership of President Bdl Knights, had another successful season. Serving on the executive board and figuring much in the operation of the A.A. were Don Armstrong, Jim Morrison, Jane Rainie, June Moffette, Pat Patterson, Frank Nolan, Libby Fenno, Tom Kirwan, Jim Haggerty, and Mr. Hayward, Coach Knowlton, and Coach Matthews. The first project the A.A. under ' took was a membership drive, which for the third year in a row ended with the goal of 100 per cent being reached. Throughout the football season, rallies were held to arouse the school’s spirit and to introduce new cheers. The Fall Sports Dance was held in the latter part of October and the Midwinter Dance, the Saturday after midyear exams. Both were well attended and were financial successes. In December the A.A. spon¬ sored an All-Sports Banquet. More than three hundred people attended, including letter winners in all sports, coaches, local newspapermen, the Auxiliary Police who assisted at the home football games, and the group of men who drove the football team to out-of-town games. The Mansfield Cup was presented to Sam Tibaudo, captain of football and three-letter winner; and the Wheeler Cup went to Patsy Eberle, also a winner of three varsity letters. The Fourteenth Annual Vaudeville Show, supervised by Mr. Hayward and Coaches Matthews and Knowlton, again proved to be the highlight of the year in entertainment. For the first time, the entire show had a central theme and all acts, dances, and skits were blended into a more unified performance. As in past years, about one-third of the students in the school appeared in the show. Throughout the year, the efforts of President Bill Knights and the executive board kept the Athletic Association the mam organization in the school. HOME ROOM REPRESENTATIVES First Rou ' .- J.

Dyson Majorettes During the school year of 1945-1946 two innovations came about, both meeting with great success. The first of these was a school band, the second, as a complement to the first, a group of majorettes. When the candidates first met, it was discovered that although a few had had a little previous experience, for the most part the organization would have to be worked up from scratch. Ten girls from the many candidates were chosen and practice began immediately. The first few practices were held in the auditorium, and this training, although not extensive, was very valuable. As soon as the girls had mastered the fundamentals they ventured forth onto the football field for practice. On the first day of outdoor practice such interruptions as five groups of football players dashing hither and yon. Boy Scout doings, and sundry other matters, threatened to disrupt the group and bring about mutiny in the ranks. But by dint of much effort order was attained and practice continued. After a number of practices the girls were ready to march with the band; this constituted working out difficult maneuvers such as making an arch of batons under the goalposts. Finally, after many trials and tribulations, everything was ready. The first public appearance of the majorettes was made at the Reading game and a grand psychological moment it was. Winchester went on to win that game and from the moment the majorettes walked out onto the field, their position in the school was assured. 60 ABERJONA . 1946 First Rou ' : A. Ulrich,]. Riga, D.

Knowlton Foothall It was doubtful what kind of football team Winchester would field with only two of last year’s reg ' ulars, Captain Haggerty and Armstrong, returning, but the rest of the squad was rounded out with experienced veterans from last year’s powerful second team. With a solid front line of Armstrong, Nichols, Rutherford, ABERJOKA 1946 61 Whittemore, Herlihy, Derro, Flagg, and Jacobellis opening up holes for such backs as Haggerty, West, Bellino, and Buzzotta, how could the Red and Black help but have another fine season? With the first game at Swampscott, Winchester was up against a foe that had been practising all through August. Swampscott scored in the third quarter, but Winchester came right back with West plunging over. Haggerty kicked a perfect placement to give Winchester a 7 to 6 victory. Getting most of the erratic playing out of their systems in this game, Winchester easily beat Lexington and Watertown by identical scores of 13 to 0. The all-round play of Haggerty and Bellino brought the Red and Black to life in the second half to beat a powerful Winthrop team 13 to 6. Bellino scored both touchdowns and outshone “Bomber” Neal, the Winthrop star. The next Saturday the team traveled to Stoneham, where they outclassed a weak home team to the tune of 26 to 0. An inspired Framingham team visited Manchester field and ran away to a 26 to 7 triumph. After going into the lead 7 to 6 at the start of the second half, Winchester fell apart and before the final whistle blew, Framingham had scored three more touchdowns. The next week-end Winchester played an undefeated Reading team. Winchester was not only out to prove that they were still a fine team, but also to avenge the only defeat of last year. After stopping some dan¬ gerous Reading threats, the home team started rolling. With West scoring twice and Bellino once, the home team rolled up a 22 to 0 victory. Belmont was the next opponent and although it was an evenly fought contest, Winchester emerged the victor on Johnny West’s touchdown and Haggerty’s conversion. Wakefield was the strongest team we faced all year, but due to some excellent punting by Haggerty and plunging by West, Winchester came out with a 0 to 0 tie. Both teams threatened, but neither could break the deadlock. Leading his team against rival Woburn, Captain Haggerty scored three touchdowns in Win¬ chester’s 26 to 7 victory. It was a well deserved finish for a great team and next year’s squad should do as well, if not better, with six of the starters returning next year. Some of the highlights of the seaso n were the return of Captain Sam Tibaudo for the last three games; the gang up at Lou’s after a game or scrimmage; Rutherford and Flagg blocking kicks; Haggerty, running instead of punting; the chorus in the showers led by Mario Buzzotta; and Nichols’ run in the Reading game. All this made it another season to remember. Coach Knowlton with Assistants Seferian, Webster, and Stevens and Lou Goddu, who kept the players in condition, deserve much credit for making the season so successful. 62 ABERJOAfA . 1946 First Row: Assistant-Manager M.

Ginny Lovejoy, put away their shin guards and sticks with a feeling of satisfaction, for they had a very successful season. In the opener, Winchester bowed to a strong Arlington team 2-0, but the girls put up a good fight. Improving steadily, when the second game came along they managed to hold Stoneham to a scoreless tie. They outplayed Stoneham throughout most of the game, but somehow they just couldn’t get into the scoring column. All this experience paid off when the girls came through to defeat Lexington 1-0, Sue Neiley scoring the goal. Libby Fenno scored a lone goal in beating Malden by the same score. Lib Fenno and June Moffette tallied to give W.H.S. a one-point win over strong Medford. Another one pointer was with Belmont, June Moffette making the only score. Those one- pointers could not last indefinitely; and the result was a tie with Melrose, Libby Fenno again the only scorer. Playing in the wings. Sue Neiley and “Rabbit” Donaghey did a fine job in carrying the ball down the alleys into the scoring circle. At inners. Captain Ginny and Captain-elect Libby could be found dogging their opponents and making for the opposite goal. Libby is deserving of her captaincy next season for she was high scorer for the year with three goals. Center “Muffin” Moffette was always there to start the game with a snappy bully, and she was the season’s runner-upper in the goal-getting department with two tallies. Patsy Eberle, last year’s second team captain, played a fine game at right halfback, and she was one of the fastest players on the team. Her running mate was left halfback, Carolyn Reeves, whose one hand lunges reminded us of a “polo player.” In between them was center half, “M. J.” Browning, as great on offense as she was on defense. Marnee Norris and Dudie Jennings were at right and left fullback respectively, where Marnee excelled in the long drives; Dudie was famous for her scoops and dodges. Between the white posts two goalies, Eileen Welsh and Patty Root, operated. ABERJO IA . 1946 63 First Row: W. Knights, S. Doub, Captain D. Armstrong, D. Merrow, W. Cunningham Scconil Ron,’.: F.

Palmer Ice Hockey The Winchester pucksters’ record of four wins and seven losses and a tie does not look too impressive, but five of those losses were by one goal. Led by Captain Armstrong, who scored sixteen goals and nine assists, Winchester was not outclassed in any of its games. Combining with Armstrong on the first line was Moose Merrow at center and Scott Doub at right wing. The second line was at one time or another composed of these players: Bill Dingwell, Pete Priest, Dick Powers, Frank Livingstone and Whip Saltmarsh. Helping Bill Cun ' ningham around the goal were Spang, Wilson, and Ulrich on defence. Winchester won its first game by beating a fast Belmont Hill team 6 to 4. The next game found Winchester losing a heartbreaker to Watertown 4 to 3. Not until Watertown had scored four goals did the Winchester pucksters get going, but they were able to get back only three of those goals. Winchester easily b eat New Prep, even though the score was only 3 to 2. The Red and Black ten lost its next three, games, although any one of them could have gone the other way. The scores were 2 to 0 to Watertown, 4 to 3 to Stoneham, and again 4 to 3 to Andover. The team then came back to beat a powerful Wakefield, 3 to 2. The pucksters outplayed Marblehead during the whole game, but lost 2 to 1 due to the superb play of Marblehead’s goaler. The Winchester-Watertown game ended in a 2 to 2 tie. We beat Browne and Nichols 3 to 1, but then dropped a 6 to 4 verdict to Medford in the final seconds. In the last game of the season, Winchester lost to a powerful Wellesley team, 11 to 5. 64 ABERJOKA ■ 1946 basketball Although a season of seven wins and twelve losses is not an impressive record for the Winchester team, one must remember that the boys had a difficult schedule. Playing hve games against such Tech Tourney teams as Newton, Lexington, and Belmont, the hoopsters did well. Led by their sharp shooting captain, Pat Patterson, who amassed 222 points in 18 games, Winchester never let down. Towering Roger Latham was center, and besides being second highest scorer on the team, he set up many other baskets. Jimmy Olivier and Frank Nolan alternated at right forward, both being very tricky and fast. At the guard positions Sam Tibaudo, Dean Blanchard, and John West saw a great deal of service. The Red and Black got off to a bad start, losing five out of their first six games. For the remainder of the season Winchester held its own against all opposition, except for the BeL mont game in the Boston Garden. Being the first time any of the boys had ever played in the Garden, they got stage fright and were walloped to the tune of 58 to 32. In the second Lexington game, Winchester gave the league champs plenty of trouble, although they finally lost 46 to 36. Winchester nearly upset a powerful Melrose, but weakened in the final quarter and Melrose won 40 to 38. They easily took two games from Wake¬ field and Concord. In fact, in the last game of the season with Concord, the hoopsters really got hot and tossed in a total of 81 points. The most exciting game of the year was with Governor Dummer, both teams being plenty hot. With one minute to go. Governor Dummer led 50 to 48, but then Patterson scored two quick baskets to make it 52 to 50. Although Winchester tried to stall for time, one of their passes was intercepted and with fifteen seconds to go they were behind 53 to 52. Jimmy Olivier then took things into his own hands, scoring a basket and foul shot to give the hoopsters a 55 to 53 win. The prospects look bright for next year with Olivier, Blanchard, and West coming back and Switzer, Bellino, and Maffeo up from Winchester’s second team. The team was ably managed by Parker Flagg and his assistants. First Rou’. J. Oliver, F. Nolan, R. Latham, CoachH. Knowlton, S. Tibaudo, CaptainJ. Patterson, S. Bellino SrcoHil Roiv: P. Flagg, D.

Hicks ABERJO?s[A 1946 65 Girls’ basketball The team, led by Captain Patty Root, had a fairly successful season, considering the fact that there was only one returning veteran from last year’s varsity. It ended the year with four wins and three defeats. The forward trio of Captain Patty, Barb Fry, and Marnee Norris, and guards Dudie Jennings, Patsy Eberle, and Kirkie Marvin composed this year’s varsity team. Both Mary Jean Browning and Bobby Johnson saw a lot of action as substitutes. High scorer this year was center forward Marnee, a newcomer to the school, with 61 points to give her an average of 8.7 points per game. She will always be remembered for her “swishers” from mid-court. Barb is another newcomer to W.H.S., and she certainly was a great addition to the team. She was elected acting captain for the team when the girls met Arlington. Patty, last year’s high scorer, was not far behind Marnee with an average of 8.0 points per game. Making only one foul in three years of playing is a remarkable feat, and Dudie possesses that distinction. Patsy has often been compared to “Jack-in-the-box,” and to see her jump you would think so, too. Kirkie, “Just call me 16,” could cover more ground on a pivot and bounce than any other member of the team. Vlary Jean, in the Arlington game, proved herself to be first team material by being high scorer. The second team, under the able leadership of Jane Rainie, although it did not show an impressive record, gave many girls actual game experience. This will be most valuable in forming next year’s team. The final result was two wins in seven starts. Neither the first nor second team could have done nearly so well if it had not been for the excellent coaching of Mrs. Matthews, and not to be forgotten are Manager Ginny Lovejoy and Assistant Managers Jane Sharon and Peggy Holmes.

With last year’s impressive record of four wins, and the 3-2 heartbreaker with Winsor behind them, the team’s outlook is bright for a successful season. Number one on the team is Ruthie Murray, from whom great things are expected; only a sophomore, Ruthie played number one part of last season and she won her share of the matches. She ranks among the top of junior New England players. Captain Dudie Jennings, number two, is playing her third year on the varsity. Dudie’s skill in handling a tennis racquet was rewarded when she received her second tennis captaincy, having led last year’s team through its successful record of four wins and one loss. Junior Libby Fenno rounds out the returning singles players. We will never forget some of Libby’s matches last year; somehow she seemed to have trouble keeping score! Libby won most of her matches and should be a great addition to the team this year. Next on the list is another junior New England player, sophomore Ann Albree. Ann has always done well at the Longwood Cricket Club tournaments; with a year of varsity behind her she should have a good season this year. Last of the hve returning veterans is senior Patsy Eberle. Patsy is a steady player and can always be relied on to win her share of the games. Manager Patty Root has jumped to sixth place, having held the number nine spot all last season. Besides alaying, Pat will also take care of the various managerial cfuties. With such a lineup as this, Winchester should lave no trouble in coming out on top in 1946.

Captain Rosander and Bob Halstead, who are two of the best schoolboy players in the State, top the list. Eben Caldwell, a consistent winner, will be in the number ' three spot. Eben is closely pressed by five others who will vie for the remaining three positions on the team. They are Sheldon Caldwell, Dick Hills, Charles Watson, Roger Swanson, and Bill Knights.

Sultry whiffs of the Aberjona waft lightly under the noses of pufhng humanity, but despite these provocations, the cold damp weather, shin-splints, sore muscles, and tender feet, these anxious souls strive for the approaching contests with great expectation. The schedule this year has extended over a wider range of schools than is customary, and, with more home meets, will surely increase interest and school spirit. The only change in events this year has been the elimination of the mile, since most schools and the sta te championships do not include it. Running in the 100 we have John West, Dom Jacobellis, Charlie Flynn, and Pete Dillingham, while Ben Coe, Don McFarlane, and Dom Jacobellis make up the 220 team. The Quarter Mile team is composed of Don Berridge, Bob Beranger, Peter Sorokin, Ben Coe, and Captain Tom Kirwan. In the half mile Jack Grimes, Frank Gunby, Dave Wylie, and Tom Kirwan complete the team. John West, Bill Whittemore, and Bill Nichols heave the shot; John Holdsworth, Dave Wylie, and Ben Coe are high jumpers; Don McFarlane, Charlie Flynn, Pete Dillingham and Roger Creelman handle the broad jump.

Although most of the opponents had much more experience at this distance than Tom, he went through an undefeated season. The team commenced its conditioning under Larry Parker, and started the competitive season ably coached byjohn Downs. The Winchester harriers included Captain Tom Kirwan, Ted Covert, Bob Halstead, Bob Williams, Joe Giacalone, Bob Palson, and Manager Henry Dempsey. The Red and Black twice lost to a veteran Arlington team, but easily beat Concord and Woburn. In the quad meet at Danvers, St. John’s finished with a slight edge, although Winchester again out¬ distanced the remaining teams, Woburn and Concord. Our runners had the advantage of practicing over one of the most grueling courses in this section, thus enabling them to run with comparative ease over unknown courses. Captain Tom Kirwan finished the season in a blaze of glory, by winning the Interscholastic Cross- Country Championship.

Shirley Bonnell, on her way to California to enjoy the warm surf and juicy oranges during the winter season, was delighted to find a graceful sailboat touring the Pacific Coast. The siren in this dainty craft was none other than Marion Horwood, practising her aria for the evening broadcasts from Santa Monica. Jerry Johnston, heading for Mexico with Nancy Marceau and “Timmy,” summoned Mary di Mambro, whose cruise was to continue around the world, to the other rail. Here they were thrilled to find another traveler from the home town, Winterchest; but even more thrilled when they found that Rose Mary Ferro had undertaken a water hostel trip, swimming ten miles each day. Back home Bob Perry, the sports editor for the “Winterchest Rats,” a new daily publication, was feverishly pegging out an article describing the greatest sport he had seen since his days at school. It seems that Gordon Mills, a renowned chemical engineer, had developed a chemical compound to stimulate growth in plants. His secretary, Lyn, with her usual accuracy, had written C instead of Cw when copying the formula. Through an involved process of errors, Marcia Turner had drunk some of this solution, which she had intended to try on her sick cactus. Anna Rallo, the eye witness, swears it took no longer than twenty minutes for Marcia to reach her present status, six ' foot ' two with eyes of greenish blue. This was enough to bring President Ferrara home from the white house to participate in the local celebration of Marcia’s extravagant growth. Over in the Town Hall with Richard MacNeill presiding, plans for this event were rapidly coming to a head. Leonard Landry, full of long-winded ideas, suggested that they take advantage of the big name singers in the home town, Anna Comita, with the Ted G. Gyvers and Pauline Comita, the rising crooner. Henry Roberts, owner of the new jalopy plant, suggested that Mary Dean should do the play-reading she had given at the Shubert last month. The radio executive, Mark Strawbridge, offered to broadcast it if John McHugh would send men out from his electric shop to set up the wiring. He agreed to send out Jean Marceau, his expert riveter; but Dick Powers, a promising scientist, could see no reason for rivets or wire or anything. He and Peter Meigs had developed the ultimate utopia of communication. Their compact apparatus was already in existence, several coils of it spreading through Mary Mullen’s cellar, a few small transformers, twelve feet by thirty-five, sitting in Barbara Hammond’s living room, and the diminutive microphonic apparatus filled the dining room at Evelyn Keith’s house with only a three-foot valve jutting out the window. Dr. Doucette objected that these new fangled contraptions were always blowing luses and the town had no money to waste for fuses, hence McHugh should send out the electricians and the good old F. M. bands would carry their broadcast. The conference was interrupted at that point when Sergeant Derro brought in J. B. R. He had finally real¬ ized a long standing ambition to get said J. B. R. intoxicated. Sergeant Derro’s other arrest of the year had been cause for humor at the Gunby home. Frank’s antipathy for people who went to bed at 9.30 on New Year’s Eve had led him to devise a megaphone that would yell “Fire” and to use it a bit too extravagantly. His partners in crime, Bobby Beranger and Kenny Symmes, had carelessly driven the “Diable Rouge” with this freak phony through Winterchest center. Chief Cogan came tearing out of the station flying a trail of glowing cigar ashes behind him. Seeing this proof positive, Shirley Raymond, who had charge of tooting the fire whistles, started playing “Chickory-chick” on them. So Sergeant Derro had had quite an evening calming the town. In the midst of this reminiscent conversation, the cheerful graveyard director, Frank Livingstone, dropped in to announce that Cecilia Malloy was going to give him a new rush of business by opening an airport on Man¬ chester Field. He had almost decided to hire Lillie McCane to be nurse at the field, but remembering her Sou thern accent, he decided not to make accidents quite so attractive to young pilots; so he planned to install a couple of St. Bernards instead. When Barbara Walters, the clever youth specialist, teased Frank about his latest tomb¬ stone interpretation, he had to admit that he had thought all sorts of things about the Hollywood graveyard directors. He had heard that Mary Amato was a ghost writer, and he was all for crusading against directors that would make an inmate write to earn her daisies. Jane Burchett, who had just finished her third historical novel, had finally disillusioned him, explaining away the ghost from a ghost writer. Joanne Simonds had supplied the illustrations for Jane’s novels, and with each novel she earned more acclaim for their technique and feeling. Thus we find Winterchest and its inhabitants just like those of Aberjona Town fourteen years earlier, just like those of Centerville and Riversdale, but suspiciously familiar and delightfully different.
