Reserved, quiet though she lie There is none more sweet than she.” Page 16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIALS CHOOSING A CAREER What shall I do with my life? Of the many careers open to me, which one shall I choose?” This is a question tha: must be faced by every high school student at some time during his four years. Seme refuse to make this decision and go blithely through school, taking the snap” courses, and eventually, the first job that is offered to them, but these are the very people who, in later life, keep the psychiatrists busy with their frustrations and unhappiness. The well adjusted, content people are those who are satisfied with their work because it is what they enjoy doing and it is what they do well. But hew is one to discover the work for which he is best suited? There is some help offered in the form of intelligence and aptitude tests, which can estimate a person’s fitness for a job, but because human nature is too complex to be judged accurately by any test, the ultimate choice must be made by the individual himself. Everything possible should be done to make that choice an intelligent one, based on fact rather than fancy. The individual should investigate the various fields, study their require¬ ments, and of course, there is no substitute for first hand experience if it can be obtained. Young men and women seeking careers are often subject to a great deal of advice which can be very harmful. The choice must come without any pressure, regardless of how well meant it may be. It is true that a very few lucky people know from earliest childhood exactly which career they wish to follow, but to most of us the choice comes slowly, and that is the way it should be, for an individual’s career is his life, and how a person spends his life must be solved with a great deal of serious thought. Dorothy Dowd ’49 AN ANGEL OF MERCY Webster defines a nurse as one who tends the sick and infirm. To me, however, the Nursing Profession means much more. Oftentimes a patient is suffering more from a mental illness than from a physical illness, retarding recovery. Only a nurse who can befriend and gain the confidence of such a person can guide him back to health. When a patient under ether divulges family secrets, he can rest assured that they will not be repeated. At all times the nurse must be prepared for emergencies. She cannot afford to lose her head, for if she does she may lose a patient. Thus a nurse isn ' t merely a person who is paid to take care cf you when you are ill, but she is also a true friend. Right now there is dire need for nurses. Seme girls who would like to train are led to believe that it is a waste of time and money, since nurses usually get married soon after graduation. Although the nurse docs get married, her training will prove an asset, for statistics prove that nurses make the best wives and mothers. So if you are interested in this medical field, write to your nearest hospital for information. You will be helping those who need you and you will be helping yourself, for your nursing diploma will stand by you all your life. Many girls have been lured into nursing schools by books portraying the romantic life of a Joan Doe. These girls are sure that they will meet a handsome doctor or a rich patient who will be only too happy to marry them. Often they find out too late 12 THE HIGH SCHOOL HEKALI) MADELINE LUCIA PEROTTI “LYNN” Commercial Course; Glee Club 45. ‘46, ' 47; Asso¬ ciate Editor of Herald 47; Bookkeeping Certificate 46; Typing Certificates 45. 46, ' 47; Shorthand Certificates ’47; Class Night Program ' 47. “My mind to me an empire in.” HELEN DORIS PIKUL “PIC” General Course; Easter Program 44; Christmas Program ’45; Girls ' Basketball Team ’44, ’45, ’46; Committee for Junior Prom ' 46; Ticket Committee for Senior Social ’47; Salesmanship Award ' 47; Chorus for Senior Play 47; Scribblers’ Club ' 47; Glee Club ' 44, ' 45, ’46; Class Night Exercises ‘47. “Not that I love study less Hut that I love leisure more.” • .-I n r H . i v ROBERT JAMES PRICE “ROB” General Course; Stage Committee ' 47; Boys ' Glee Club ’45, ’47; Christmas Program ' 44; Class Night Program ’47. “It is tranquil iieople who accomplish much. 0 Page 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD An interesting Christmas pageant was presented at an assembly in December, under the direction of Mrs. Boyle and Miss E. Bradley. At an assembly held Monday, January 11, the students were addressed by Mr. Hubert Russell and the Reverend Richard Carter. They were told that the Rotary Club planned to give money to deserving pupils who needed it to further worthy projects or hobbies. A Patriotic Program was held Friday, February 13, which was in charge of Miss Holbrook, Miss G. Bradley, and Miss E. Bradley.

Tournaments. This reviews some of the more important events of the year. Arthur Africano ’48 SENIOR CLASS NOTES President ___John Shauc.hnessy Vice-President ..Harold Quagliaroli Secretary ...Norma Rodelli Treasurer ...Betty Byrnes The Senior Class elected Arthur Africano, John Traska, Edward Wezowicz, and Cecilia Cienaski as representatives to the Athletic Association. Arthur Africano was later elected president of this organization and Cecelia Cienaski was elected secretary. On October 24, the Seniors held a social in honor of the Freshmen. It proved both financially and socially successful. The class elected Betty Byrnes and Edward Wezowicz as representatives to try for the Pepsi-Cola scholarship. John Flanders was elected as chairman of the Budget Committee which is in charge of all financial matters. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 A magazine campaign was conducted by the Seniors through the Curtis Publishing Company. Mr. Davis, the company representative, organized two teams as an incentive for more sales. Art Africano was chosen as captain of the Dogs and Janet Warner was chosen captain of the Cats ”. Ruth Quagliaroli, the highest salesman received a wrist watch for her splendid work. The Cats, the losing team, had to put on a party for the winning team and the Juniors. The entertainment proved very comical and successful. The Seniors cf ’48 reached the highest goal in profits since the beginning of the campaigns. The Seniors chose rose and silver for their class colors. Loring studio was engaged this year to take class pictures. On April 9, the Senior Class put on Come Rain or Shine ”, a three act comedy. The play was a financial success and showed a lot of dramatic ability among the mem¬ bers of the cast. A Food Sale was held on March 27 in the Town Clerk s Office. Generous con¬ tributions from the town people made this sale a huge success. The Seniors left for their Washington Trip, April 26, and enjoyed it immensely. Preparations for Class Night and Graduation are now being made. The Senior Class wishes to thank all those people who have contributed so much to the success of all their enterprises.

David Ulitsch ’51 ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES Basketball at Windsor Locks High School was successful this year. The Varsity team had an enviable record of fifteen wins and six losses during the regular season’s play. In the state class C” tournament the team advanced to the quarter finals where it was beaten by the narrowest of margins. The team represented Windsor Locks High in the conference and finished a credit¬ able second in the final standings. Three of our boys were in the top ten of the in¬ dividual scoring department. They are John Flanders, Ed Wezowicz, and Ted Malec. One of the highlights of the season was when the team was defeated by a mere two points in the final minutes of play by Ellsworth High, the state champions. Much of the credit for this year’s team is due to Mr. Ernest E. Weeks, who made his debut at Windsor Locks an auspicious one.

We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the kindness, patience, and loyalty you have displayed during our school years. As we the class of 1948 take our place in the world, we shall be faced with many new problems. Some of us will go on for further education, some will enter the business world, and others will enter the world of industry. Here in America we all have equal opportunities for advancement. Our nation is one of freedom, of liberty, and of opportunity. During the twentieth century great progress has been made in civilization. Great advancements have been made in the fields of science, medicine, and education. We are living in the Atomic age. Up until now the only use for Atomic energy has been for the Atomic bomb, but there are many possibilities for its peacetime uses. In the field of medicine the use of penicillin, and the sulfa drug have saved many lives. Organizations for the prevention and cure of cancer and many other dread diseases have also been set up. Then, too, great strides have been made in the educational field. More subjects have been added to the curriculum, the school day has been lengthened, and new methods of instruction have been employed. More attention has been paid to the individual and his differences. In fact, the modern school is striving to meet the needs of the pupil in this changing world. Furthermore, transportation facilities have been improved. Travel is now be¬ coming faster, safer, and more comfortable than ever before. Where else but in America could there be such opportunity for advancement? We, as the future generation of America, must meet the responsibilities of continuing the progress of our country and of mankind. Norma Rodklli ’48 DEMOCRACY —THE HOPE OF WORLD PEACE The skies began to darken and grow heavy with clouds, during the late 1930’s, and continued to become increasingly threatening till man found himself plunged into the midst of the greatest storm yet known—World War II. The war clouds hovered over us until 1945, when the bright sun of peace shone once more on the world. For a second time in twenty-five years, the homeless, desolate, but courageous people rose wearily to their feet and began to repair and reconstruct their torn and twisted lives, homes, and countries. Now after three brief years of peace the clouds of war are once more rapidly gathering. But if we allow the storm to break for a third time, shall we be capable of climbing to our feet and making a new start? It is very doubtful, for never before has the atom bomb, in all its prowess and destructive power, been unleashed on man. And the next war, if there is to be such a terrible thing, will undoubtedly be a war of atom bombs. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 Yes, we must prevent the third and final storm from breaking. But where lies the solution? Perhaps in universal military training, perhaps in the U. N., or perhaps with the common people, for they eventually are the ones who must fight, suffer, and die because of war. The answer, therefore, lies with world democracy, for only in this form of govern¬ ment can the common man express his views, which most certainly do not tend towards war in which he and his children perish. The United States and other countries which enjoy democracy cannot, however, force their ideas on the other peoples of the world, as some of the totalitarian forms of government, in reality forms of slavery in disguise, are now forcing their doctrines on weaker nations. We can only work, hope, and pray that through our success in America, through our aid under the Marshall Plan, by examples in our everyday living, we can make our democracy so attractive that a government based on freedom and representative rule will be adopted by each and every nation of the world. This thought was expressed much better than I can word it, by Daniel Webster, when in his Bunker Hill address he said, And let that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression or terror, but of Wisdom, Peace, and Liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever. Yes, America must truly be a monument of democracy, a tall and perpetual beacon, leading the world ro wisdom, liberty, and everlasting peace. John Shaughnkssy ' Ah MAGIC IN AMERICA Thousands of years ago, according to a fairy tale, there lived a boy named Aladdin who owned a lamp and a ring. When he rubbed this magic lamp a powerful genii would appear and do the boy s bidding. Through the aid of this magic genii the boy possessed jewels, palaces, fine clothes, and could secure anything else he wanted. Thus, the boy who had been poor soon became rich and powerful. Today we also have a lamp and a ring far more powerful than those possessed by Aladdin. The schools today furnish the lamp and ring. Training and education offer us the incentive to get ahead and to take advantage of our opportunities. With education and training we have the gift to make and operate things that Aladdin could never have obtained from his genii. Could Aladdin have had an auto¬ mobile, a radio, a telephone or a modern house? No, of course not. These inventions were not known of in those times. They have come into being only through the education and training, initiative and resourcefulness of men living in free nations. It is clear then that education can produce far more effective results than the magic of fairyland. Of course, we realize that education alone cannot bring about these opportunities. Our form of government in America is one of the leading reasons for our progress. Without our form of government there would be no public educational institutions and this would mean that there would be thousands of men without the fundamental tools of learning with which to rub the lamp and the ring. Poor people as well as the rich are given the opportunity to get their hands on the lamp and the ring in America. 28 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD But, are education, training, and government the only elements of the magic in America? Could the magic exist in all other countries? Careful study has shown that it cannot. The reason for this is that America has a gold mine of resources which must be developed. It is through the development and use of these resources that men acquire the possessions that Aladdin never had. Opportunities exist today that were unheard of and undreamed of in primitive times and the people who are taking advantage of these opportunities furnish the themes of a thousand fairy tales that in America can come true and often do come true. Margaret Barisone ' 48 VALEDICTORY THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE Do Americans enjoy the little things in life? In this day and age we are very likely to be caught up in the swift motion of world affairs and let the small, ordinary pleasures in life go unnoticed. We do not stop to think of all the beauty there is around us—the gentle summer rain, the budding trees, the sweet smell of new-mown hay, the beautiful colors of the autumn leaves, the silent, sparkling snow. All our lives we have seen these things and most of us take them for granted. We are too busy to notice the bright, hopeful look on the face of a person waiting in a railroad station, or to wonder why a small child has such a hurt expression on his face. Yes, we are too wrapped up in big things. How much happier the person is, who puts aside his business cares for a little while, to look about him and enjoy these little things. How much richer and fuller his life is! At first glance this may not seem too important. Right away some people will say we do not have time for such trivial things. There are too many other important matters with which to contend. When world peace is at stake and democracy is struggling to win over communism, what difference does it make whether or not people find pleasure in common, everyday things? Well, it does make a difference—even if it is only indirectly. Learning to ap¬ preciate these little pleasures will, in a small way, help us to become a happy, contented people. And where there are happy, contented people, there is peace. As the great Italian writer, Petrarch, once said, “Five great enemies of peace in¬ habit with us—avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride; if these were to be banished we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.” And now, Classmates, in bidding you farewell, I want to wish you all the happiness and success in life you can possibly have: Follow our class motto, Aim High and Hold Your Aim”. And may all your hopes and dreams come true ' —and may God bless you. Betty Byrnes ’4s o CO Page THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 CLASS SONG Tune: How Soon How soon these happy days have gone.
