Winooski High School - Carillon Yearbook (Winooski, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1945 volume:

THf CflfilLLO Published by The Senior Class of the WINOOSKI HIGH SCHOOL In the ancient town of Bruges, In the quaint old Flemish city, As the evening shades descended, Low and loud and sweetly blended, Low at times and loud at times. And changing like a poet’s rhymes. Rang the beautiful wild chimes From the belfry in the market Of the ancient town of Bruges. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. 1 945 VOLUME ONE Winooski, Vermont In Memory DONALD McCARVELL The silvery stars in beauty keep A lonely vigil, while in sleep On some embattled foreign shore He rests, though cannons pound and roar. The gentle winds lament, yet sing A symphony on muted string, A requiem so soft and sweet, It lulls the soul in last retreat. He rests in peace beneath the sod, Content at last to be with God. A Friend. - 2 - DEDICATION It was three years ago that two of the best-1 iked mem- bers of the faculty at Winooski High School left us and offered their services to defend both God and country. One, Romuald Lesage left for the Navy; the other, Lafayette Saucier, for the Army. It is with pride, that we, the class of 1945, have chosen to dedicate this book, the CARILLON, to you, Lieutenant (j.g.) Romuald Lesage and Staff Sergeant Lafayette Saucier, in remembrance of the many services you have rendered us. . 3 - ADMINISTRATION GEORGE R. STACKPOLE, a.m. Superintendent of Schools ARTHUR P.

We are glad to have reached this milestone safely on the Highway of Life, and we arc equally sure that you too, are pleased that we have come this far along the Road of Knowledge. We realize that to you especially, it is a time of both relief and satisfaction, because you alone know' how many times we should have strayed from the right route or stalled by the roadside, if we had not .been encouraged and sometimes forced to proceed. Sometimes it has seemed a long w'ay ahead but now we have reached our goal. We now feel that w'e are getting a substantial reward for the years we have spent in study. We are pleased that you are w'ith us now to enjoy our victory. There has been cooperation all along the way between the graduates who face you today and the audience that faces the graduates. From the beginning in Grade I, up to our exalted position at the pres- ent time, you have not been lacking in friendship, sympathy, and helpfulness. After tonight, our paths will branch out from this community where we have been born and raised. We know that your interest and friend- ship are two factors that we shall always have with us. We think it was Addison who said, What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.” It needs no elaborate and long- strung argument to prove the truth of this asser- tion. It is one of the unalterable and unassailable truths of life. No one dare deny it, and in fact no one wishes to deny it. Evidences thereof stand around as numerous as the sands on the seashore, not only in the environment of Winooski High School but everywhere in our beloved America. Everywhere beneath the folds of the unparalleled American flag, education may be won by the most humble and lowly. The only requirements are a desire for its broadening influence and a constant and systematic attempt to secure them. With these requirements we have compiled and therefore we stand before you tonight The graduating class of 1945 of Winooski High School.” We ask from you your earnest wishes and Godspeed. Again we offer you our heartiest welcome, know- ing that you have had a considerable part in this —our Commencement.

Gentlemen, Members of the Faculty, Schoolmates and Members of the Class of 945; In ancient times a small river called the Rubicon divided Cis-Alpine Gaul, the territory of Julius Caesar, from Rome. It was a narrow river, its length was but twenty miles, and it involved no great amount of skill to cross it, yet to do so with an armed force, was a mighty event, because it meant the invasion of Rome. Caesar, no doubt, counted well the cost before he made this venture, and we are sure that he was not at all surprised at the great events which followed his deed. Tonight the class of 194 5 has crossed one of the Rubicons of life. It may seem to some people a small thing to receive a diploma showing that we have com- pleted the twelfth grade in the high school, and yet great events will soon follow this simple act, if we so will it. After Caesar had marched his legions across the Rubicon, was that the end of his efforts? Did he say, Now I have invaded Rome. This is enough. We will go into camp, build fires, stake tents, then sit down and enjoy ourselves?” Had he done so the world would never have heard of him, unless it were to record his folly. No. crossing the Rubicon was the mere begin- ning of his great career. The Rubicon which we have crossed tonight is but a small river, but by its passage we have entered the great world of knowledge of which it is one of the boundary lines, a world which is wait- ing for us to explore and to conquer. Just how wide our acquaintance with the world shall be- come, just how many of its treasures we are to make our own, we, and we only, can determine. Classmates, let us not camp now, satisfied and happy over the little which we have accomplished. Even though circumstances may require that our school days end here, remember, the acquisition of knowledge may continue as long as life lasts. Caesar, with his conquering host, made himself master of Rome, but we have a greater domain than Rome to conquer, therefore, let us imprint this on the palms of our hands: Knowledge is an untold treasure, it must be mine. Then let us continue as we have begun, and all will be well. No other era in the world’s history is so great as the era of the twentieth century. It is great in aspirations, great in plans, great in forces, and as a necessary corollary, great in achievements. It is also an indisputable fact that behind each one of these great things, hidden from the careless sight, yet, to be found if searched for patiently, is the small something which was the initiative. Compared with the famous universities of the world, which are established in great educational centers, we of Winooski High may seem a small school, in a small community, yet who can tell how many great things may find their first im- petus here? Sometimes when indulging in these thoughts one is overwhelmed with the possibilities of life and is ready to declare that there is nothing in the world which can be characterized as small or insignificant. However widely scientists may differ as to the origin of this planet on which we at present so- journ, all are forced to agree in the fact that it is a world of change. Nature is constantly impressing upon us this truth. We see it in the shifting of the seasons, in the growth of vegetation, First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. We also see this truth exemplified in the development of our fellow creatures, first the babe, then the child, the youth, the maturity of manhood and womanhood, and finally the slow change to senility and death. Some of us have gone on together from the kindergarten days, and have kept step with each other through all the changes of school life, and we have now come to the last great change, the change of dissolution. But was it fair for us to suppose that this class could be exempt from the great law of human life, and defy this ultimate change? If we ever did lay this flattering unc- tion to our soul, we are facing its negation. We now realize that the door has closed upon scenes that we have held dear, and the thought makes us sad. But so it will always be. Nothing remains; all things pass. The best and only thing to do is to make the most of each part of life as it presents itself to our attention. If we advance to meet the new life before us with the qualities of courage, determination and honesty, we shall receive full value for the same. Now we must part from schoolmates of many years standing, from teachers and in some cases from parents. To the members of the faculty we say goodbye with sincere regret. We thank you for your ef- forts in our behalf and we shall retain happy mem- ories of our days in your classrooms. Schoolmates, we hope you will carry on loyally and diligently. Do your best both for yourselves and Winooski High. Classmates, our years together have been pleas- ant ones. We are not merely classmates, we are friends, bound by strong ties. Let us treasure the memory of our high school days and be true to the best teachings of our Alma Mater. Theresa Provost. - 29 - P 0 c ALFRED AUNCHMAN. Non Pvt. REGINALD BARRON. Army Pvt.

ROBERT SULLIVAN, NANCY MACK PHYLLIS BOYNTON OYE COMPANION THREE GIRLS ON A HORSE SUNSHINE ONE-O-CAT AT THE HALLOWE'EN DANCE HISTORIA CLASSIS As wc arc drawing near the close of our high school years, it is fitting that we should review our past years of study. In the fall of 1941 we entered the doors of Winooski High School as timid young freshmen. We all were confused at first because wc had never before changed rooms for dif- ferent classes, but we finally straightened out with the help of our teachers. Our advisor was Miss Garvey. It was during this year that all A and B students in Civics were allowed to join the Civics Club for the rest of their high school years. We elected Jimmy Morwood for our class president and for his assistants he had Charlene Sullivan and Elda Clavellc. On December 7, 1941, as wc sat near our radios wc heard President Roosevelt tell us about the undeclared war that was taking place and how the Japanese made a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. The next day the Congress declared war on them and two days later on Germany. It also happened that on the day of our junior and senior banquet the Allies invaded France. This was the famous D-day. Some of the girls in our class joined the newly formed Glee Club. They sang at speaking contests, graduation and the other important events of the year. The Glee Club was formed by Mr. Saucier. As we returned from our vacation we entered school as sophomores. Our advisor for our second year of high school was Mrs. Prior. One of our first duties was to elect the president of our class. This honor fell to Charlene Sullivan and her assistants were Antonia Vartuli, Paul Garrow and Elda Clavellc. During this year some of our male classmates left for the armed forces. Eugene Campbell joined the United States Marine Corps. The Navy took Walter Dusablon away from our happy little circle. Joseph Lyons and Clement Julian went booting toward a Navy Recruiting Station. I think that Robert Sullivan was drawn, probably, toward K.P. because the Army was given the honor of having Bob in its ranks. It seems the Navy outmancuvcred the Army this year because it also got Bernard Greenough, Kenneth King and Roland Lefebvre. One of our classmates joined the Navy, he was discharged and in the same year he joined the Army but again to his great disappointment was discharged, so I think that we all can s ay Bernard Taylor has done his share in this war. Also, three of our teachers were called to the colors that year, Mr. Lanahan joined the Coast Guard, Mr. Lesage went into the Navy and Mr. Saucier entered the Army Air Forces. It was also in this year that Miss McElancy, Miss Moore. Miss Germaine and “Pro” Herbert made their entrances as new teachers on the faculty of Winooski High School. Reggie” Barron represented us on varsity baseball and Anita Barber was on the cheerleaders' squad. Thus the school year ended and we were already for a nice long vacation. It was a wonderful day in the fall of 1943 that wc marched back to school as juniors. Miss Stone was our advisor for that year. This was the year when we chose our class rings, planned a banquet for the seniors and did many other things for which we had so long waited. We again welcomed a new teacher to our school. Miss Spear. She was to teach all the sciences anyone wanted to learn. In the fall of our junior year, because of the manpower shortage many of our classmates went to various farms to help the farmers during the harvesting time. Wc had a Sadie Hawkin’s Dance” in the last week of November. Everyone had a wonderful time, even though there was a shortage of men. It was in this year also that the initiation into the Civics Club took place. On December 1 we sponsored a masquerade dance which - 33 pro cd to be a great success both socially and financially. Wc then welcomed Mr. Pfeifer to the faculty of our school. We also sponsored an assembly during the year. The guest was Doctor Lawrence, of Burlington, who spoke on Nutri- tion and Foods for Health.” This year wc were represented on the cheering squads by Anita Barber and Grayce Chandler; also Anita represented us on the girls' basketball team. Pro” Herbert organized the Teen-Age Recreation Club for the teen-agers of Winooski in the winter of 1944. In March we entered the District One-Act Play contest that was held in Middlcbury. Our play was coached by Miss Moore and its name was “Of All Things.” The month of April brought about a lot of boasting from the juniors because it was in that month that wc received our long-awaited class rings. The month of May brought about the preparations for the prom, but because of the war-time conditions wc con- sidered it best to have a banquet. Doris Spear, Pat I.eblanc, Tonia Vartuli, Bob Blondin and Jimmie Morwood were on the committee and I can speak for all the juniors and seniors that we all had a wonderful time. The banquet was held at the Black Cat Cafe in Burlington on June 6, 1944. In June as juniors wc had charge of commencement activi- ties. Some junior girls were ushers at the commencement exercises. Thus another school year ended, making our class smaller because the country called Alfred Aunchman and Gerald Daudelin, Arthur Pratt and Phillip Carpenter to the colors of the Navy blue. Reginald Barron, Chester Bonk, Paul Garrow, Roland Racine and Paul Deforge went to answer the call of the Army. Raymond Bouffard and Clement Granger joined the Army Air Forces. We all extend our sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. James McCarvell because of the great sacrifice they offered during this war, the loss of their son, Donald. Wc, of the class of 1945, are very proud to say that Donald was our classmate and we shall never forget him. In September of 1944 wc returned as dignified and effer- vescent seniors. This year we were under the guidance of Mrs. Prior. Wc again put out the welcome mat to two new teachers, M iss Taylor and Mr. Mero. Anita Barber, Grayce Chandler and Jackie” Best repre- sented us on the cheering squ d and Anita and Jackie were on the girls’ basketball team. Jimmy Fitzgerald, Bill” Skerneski and “Ray” Villemaire held their own as seniors on the boys’ basketball team. Our next thoughts turned to the inauguration of the class officers. James Fitzgerald was elected president and for his assistants he had Antonia Vartuli, Lorraine Debarge and Bob” Blondin. In February we selected our invitations, name cards and class colors, maroon and gold, and our class motto, Wc have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us.” I am sure that our class will be able to cross the ocean, too, after the guidance and help we have had from our teachers. Under the direction of Theresa Provost, editor-in-chief and Robert Blondin, business manager, and assisted by the other members of the Carillon staff, the Carillon was compiled and final preparations were made for the publi- cation. Wc give our thanks to all the teachers and to Pop” for being so kind and understanding to us. As we prepare for graduation, our four happy years at Winooski High School arc brought to a close. We hope that this history may be well received by all and that the memory of the class of 194 5 may be preserved in the minds and hearts of all. Virginia J. Sobieski.

Morwood. - 34 - AUGURIUM CLASSIS It was in the spring of 1 95 5 that one of my former class- mates came to spend an afternoon with me, and he was no other than John Bedrosian, who is the owner of a chain of liquor stores in Boston, Massachusetts. After a while I turned on the radio and to my surprise a familiar voice spoke on the NBC network broadcasting station. It was Antonia Vartuli, the Good Citizenship Girl of the famous class of ’4 5. To my amazement every word she spoke con- cerned a former classmate. All excited I hurriedly advanced nearer to my television set so I could see if Antonia had changed within the last ten years. The following is what she stated on her program: Anita Barber has finally become Mrs. Bernard Cummings. What a thrill it must have been for her! James Morwood inherited the Star Bakery, where he has been turning out French pastry for the past ten years. Virginia Sobieski, who is a Navy nurse, is hoping that she will meet a certain flier whose wings she has been wearing. Lorraine Debarge hasn’t accepted any matrimonial offers yet. She is still carrying the torch for a certain Larry. Grace Huard has accepted a position as a pianist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Stella Rose has been promoted from being a housekeeper for a doctor to a job as secretary for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Valentine Bonk has purchased the largest theater in Winooski, the Strand, where he worked for his former em- ployer, Mr. Valley, for the past ten years. Doris Spear has accepted the job of being a teacher at the dancing school for nurses. Maurice Desormeaux is rated as a second Frank Sinatra. When the girls look at him they SWOON. Elda Clavelle has resigned from her position as head clerk at the White Bargain Store to become Mrs. Reginald Barron. Nelson Lcfebvrc and his Williston Ramblers have pur- chased the new John Harte barn in Williston. Geraldine Lawrence still likes the Navy blue. She has accepted the job as secretary to Admiral Halsey in Wash- ington, D. C. Patricia Leblanc was promoted to vice-president of the Howard Advertising Corporation in San Francisco, California. Margaret Lessard is superintendent on the third floor of the Bishop DeGocsbriand Hospital. James Fitzgerald is the leading player on the basketball team at Annapolis. Graycc Chandler is still employed as a meat cutter at the Market Place in Winooski, Vermont. Aline Roussellc is working at the Rainbow Paper Com- pany as secretary to the manager. She’s happy that the war is over and all of her brothers came home all well. Shirley Carmin is playing the leading role in the movie entitled Come Again My Lovely One.’’ Theresa Dufresnc is operating and owns the largest line of filling stations throughout the State of Maine. William Skerneski is a coach of the basketball team at Worcester High School in Massachusetts. Lorraine Boisjoli has accepted the job of private secretary to Elie Lavignc. June Howe has been promoted to the position as head supervisor at the Bishop DeGoesbriand Hospital. Henrietta St. Peter has inherited the Tip-Top Photo Service and I sec where the class of ’45 has their pictures developed for nothing. Ninabelle Rockwood is still at her job of cracking eggs in Burlington, as she was ten years ago. Jacqueline Best is in Hollywood; a star, she is being starred in Lonesome Girl.” Theresa Provost is teaching the boys how to become under- takers in Montpelier. Kathleen I.aduc is a chemist at the Bella Starr Institute in New York City. Gloria Chrystowski is a chemist at Institute Pasteur in San Francisco, California. Raymond Villcmairc is now a manager of the famous base- ball team, the New York Giants.

Most of these defeats were against Class A schools. But considering our own class the team turned out a very good season. With 6 wins and 4 defeats the team placed third in the Green Mountain League. Two of these de- feats were handed by St. Michael’s High of Mont- pelier the league winners, one by 2 points and the other by 4 points. Then in the Northern Ver- mont State Tournament we lost the best played game of the tournament by only two points. Despite these heartbreaks we should be proud of the fact that it placed one man on the all-Northern League team, and two on the All-Green Mountain League and one on the All-Tournament team at Barre. Tom” Sullivan, who had three of these places, and Don” Companion, the other, were the sparkplugs of our team this season scoring 221 and 208 points respectively, nearly two-thirds of all points scored by the team. There will be four losses to the team next year. Bcrnie” L’Ecuyer who expects to be inducted into the Army, and Will” Skcrncski, Jim” Fitzgerald, and Ray” Villemaire by means of graduation. The Freshmen put on a very impressive show this year. They played many preliminary games and also played in the All Faith League, in which they ended in second place, at the Y.M.C.A. The eighth graders had a very fine record also. In the Junior division of the All Faith League they proved invincible winning everyone of their games including the Championship. So within the next few years we shall probably have some championship varsity teams. Player G. Fg- Ft. F. Tp.

In winning ten games, losing eleven and tying one they did quite well although handicapped by lack of ex- perience. In most of their competition they were definitely out of their class. In games scheduled with teams of their own class and experience the girls acquitted themselves well. The highlights of the season were the double victories over Shel- burne and Cathedral. The Cathedral games came at the close of the season when the girls were reaching their peak. Barbara Provost led the scoring parade with 88 points to her credit. Katherine Vartuli and Bar- bara Arcand followed closely with 71 and 66 respectively. Theresa Sansoucy, Ellen Germain, and Shirley Paquette kicked in with important contributions. Since the vast majority of these girls will be back next year a good season may be looked for in 1945-1946. In the backcourt Captain Barber did a good job of holding the forwards of opposing teams down. Lorraine Granger, Gloria Parizo and Ellen Germain were stalwarts on the defense.

Dennis did most of the work that won nine ball games for Winooski, while only three were entered on the wrong side of the ledger. Leo compiled a fine batting average of .410 and rapped in fifteen big runs in the campaign. Dennis had a steady group of ball players in back of him last year. Co-captain Ray Villemairc received his slants with finesse and was instrumental in the great mound work dis- played by the Millers. Tom Sullivan pitched in a large num- ber of the ball games. His best job was against Cathedral when he completely handcuffed the Little Indians to win easily 11-1. Six DPs in the Northern League aided the Winooski cause considerably. Bob Maroney and Bob Mercure held down the keystone spots and did a swell job. Maroney put together the second best batting mark with .360. The improvement over his previous year’s play svas remarkable. Companion, Billups, Sullivan. Vartuli and Potvin roamed the outer gardens and very few balls got away from them. How- ard Thompson was the best first baseman in the league. Howard compiled a batting mark of .3 3 6. Bob Blanchard held down the hot corner. His strong arm was a big factor in the success of the Winooski infield. With most of these boys back for the 194 5 season, the Millers may well repeat their ’44 victory. Dennis is gone. Most of the infield must be replaced. Yet there is enough material left to form the nucleus of another championship team. The ’44 Millers reached the semi-finals of the state tourney before being turned back by Orleans 1-0. The score speaks for itself. Winooski 6—B. F. A. 1 The league opened May 2 on a cold day for baseball. Dennis worked most of the game from the mound and knocked in two big runs in the first to get the Millers away to a good start. All runs in the game were scored in the first three innings. Sullivan oitched the last four innings and (lid a good job. Winooski 12—Spaulding 6 A big sixth-inning rally netted seven runs for Winooski and gave them a wild ball game 12-6. The Barre pitchers issued ten walks which the Millers took good advantage of. Dennis and Sullivan worked the game for Winooski. Winooski 6—Burlington 4 After a shakey start in the first frame big Leo Dennis settled down to a fine job of hurling in the next eight frames to quell what looked like a loss for the Millers. Howard Thompson collected four hits off the BHS chucker, while Dennis got three. Winooski 11—Cathedral 1 Tom Sullivan started his first varsity game on the mound for Winooski and turned back the Little Indians nicely over the whole game. Don Companion pounded out two doubles to lead the attack for the winners. Winooski- 3—Montpelier 0 After a slight delay on the road the traveling Millers finally made the capital and went about their task of winning their fifth straight Northern League game in workmanlike fashion. Howard Thompson knocked in two big runs in a seventh- inning uprising. His three hits opened the way for another win. Winooski 6—B. F. A. 7 The Millers lost their first game of the season when Leo Dennis had trouble getting the ball over the strike area in the ninth inning. Leading 6-5 going into the last session, the Comets pushed over two runs to take the ball game. Rich, winning pitcher, did a nice job in holding the ram- paging Millers. Winooski 2—Spaulding 1 l.eo Dennis had a good day on the hill when he held an up-and-coming Spaulding aggregation to one hit. Winooski scored the winning marker in the seventh when the Barre shortstop booted an easy grounder, then threw wild to first. Winooski 5—Cathedral 6 Things looked dark now for Winooski when a last-place Cathedral team did the unexpected and beat the Millers on Centennial Field. Art Chicoine completely handcuffed Winooski with a slow curve ball. Winooski 10—Montpelier 3 On Memorial Day Leo Dennis had a field day as he pitched and batted the Millers to a great win over the dangerous Soions. His work on the hill held Montpelier helpless all day. Leo rapped one over the fence in the eighth with one on to pave the way for a five-run rally. Winooski 7—Burlington 3 With a Northern League title hanging on the outcome, the whole Winooski team went to work on Jack Kimble’s Blue- boys June 3. Dennis again had a bad first inning against Burlington when they pushed their only three runs across the plate. Big Leo held the Seahorses in check the rest of the distance and the Millers went to work in earnest. Bob Maroney did a grand job in the field and batted three runs across the dish himself. Ray Villemairc finally hit a long one and circled the bases. STATE TOURNEY Winooski 11—Richmond 3 The Millers started off their state championship quest in good style on Centennial Field when they toyed with Rich- mond and won easily 11-3. Tom Sullivan and Leo Dennis divided the pitching chores with Dennis returning the win- ner. Thompson and Maroney did the big hitting for the winners. Winooski 0—Orleans 1 In the semi-final game against Orleans the Millers did an about face and the usually potent bats of the W'inooski boys were unusually silent. Kermit Smith slow-balled the Millers to a scoreless game. The only Orleans run came in the seventh on a single and a long triple to center. Dennis pitched his heart out in a vain attempt to win the big one for his club. - 51 - THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL THE VARSITY CLUB - 52 - CIVICS CLUB Moderator—MISS CATHERINE GARVEY COMMERCIAL CLUB Moderator—MISS YOLANDE GERMAIN - 53 - WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF?

Facts and figures are being compiled, surveys are being made, questionnaires are being filled out. The aim of the Post-War plans is to make Amer- ica, and the world, a better place to live in. One of the greatest dangers to our Post-War Peace is a depression. People are being cautioned by the government and economists not to buy more than is necessary and toward off inflation. Milwaukee is the first American city to fight inflation at the point where it starts—on the shopping lists of housewives, in the black-market purchases of gasoline, liquor, stockings, and other items very much in demand by the American pub- lic. Their battle cry is— Don’t Buy Another Depression.” When our fighting men come home, it should be to a country settled and sure of itself. It’s our duty to see that they aren’t disappointed. They expect their old jobs back. When all these soldiers are discharged from the army, we’re going to be faced with the task of finding employment for these some odd million men. Surveys have been taken by the Government to find out what our service men plan to do after the war. Some will make the army their life’s work, others want their old positions back, some plan on furthering their education, a small percentage have no idea what-so-ever as to what they will do after the war. It will take some time before the allied nations and our aggressor nations are built up. Some of our men will have to police these enemy nations for a few years after peace has been won. Some large companies already have begun Post- War plans. As men are called to active service, other employees, either 4-F’s or older men, double up on their work so the company won’t have to hire new help. After the war, when things get back to normal, the men who have come back from the service will step into their old jobs with- out putting another person out of work. For five or ten years, the U. S. A, will have a period of tremendous activity. The things people are not getting during the war will be in great demand. New scientific developments, spurred on by the war will create miracles—gradually, not all at once. Out of America’s war effort will come amazing new products—new advantages— new conveniences. Scientists are even now busily engaged in putting our new world on paper. A blueprint of the future is being planned today on thousands of drafting boards. Soon, they will become more than mere plans, things unheard of in this modern day and age will be a part of our daily lives in time to come. These new advantages will be economical so as to enable even the poorer class of people to benefit by them. New inventions and products have been laid aside temporarily while inventions to foster the war effort have forged ahead, but, they have not been forgotten. As soon as the day of victory arrives, these plans will no longer be blue- prints, but actual inventions. There will be great changes in our everyday life because of new discoveries. Think back a hundred years ago, and note what has been de- veloped since then. Within the next hundred years the change will be even greater because we have more to begin with now. While some inventions have been curtailed be- cause of the inability to obtain materials, the war itself has produced numerous new inventions. One of the many is a portable radio set, called the walkie-talkie. This has been used successfully by our armed forces. Subjects that pupils read about in school will not only be visualized by studying about them in books, they will become a reality. Transportation will be improved so as to enable whole classes of students to visit the lakes, mountains, and cities they study about. An aftermath of Hitler’s terrible rocket planes will be giant rocket liners run by jet-propulsion which will bring our whole world into closer association. Plastics, glass in new uses, synthetic rubber, radio improvements, high-octane gasoline to make small motors powerful, light metals to make auto- mobiles and many other things lighter, prefabri- cated houses, food freezing plants will make a new industry extending into every community, dehydrated foods will compete with canned goods, artificial silk will compete with natural. Nylons will be plentiful. Everything will be modernized. Air transport will expand tremendously. Much of the world trade will be controlled, directed and financed by the government for a long time after the war. Great stock piles of raw materials dammed up in many ports of the world by this war will be dribbled out to keep markets from being demoralized. Ocean shipping will be in great demand. Some of our fighting men are even now con- - 55 • templating remaining in Australia and New Zea- land where most of the natural resources have yet to be developed. Many feel these two countries offer the same advantages that the United States did in the Gold Rush Days of our forefathers. Most Americans believe that America should never again be caught napping as it was at Pearl Harbor. We cannot look to preparedness alone for post-war security. This means, our armed strength will have to be kept up. In a world in which strong nations are competitively armed and in which there always can be found nations which are aggressive for conquest, the burden of defense upon the peaceful nations is too great to endure. Preparedness is not enough. Men shall have to be forever on guard so there will never be another Pearl Harbor. Our government shall never again get as lax about our armed forces as it was before December 7, 1941. As our President has stated, the American people hate war. This anger is general. The sentiment prevailing in this country is irritation at the waste, the upset, the stupidity, the agony, the destruction and the human cost of war. When our boys come home, let it be to a better world than they’ve ever known before. Transportation after the war is to be much more economical. Plans are now underway to have the most modern of all trains—more modern than ever in design, durability, convenience, and ap- pearance. Triple berths will replace the old-fash- ioned double berths of today. More sanitary meth- ods will be used, travel will be made cleaner, and much more pleasant by the developments of plans that were blueprints before the war. Most of the travel will be done in luxurious airplanes and the newly designed helicopter will be available for even the people of average means. The Standard Oil Co. states that they have 165 new products and articles to be manufactured after the war that have never been placed on the market before. This is only one of many companies that will develop new products. For instance, a large chemical company that proposed putting a match on the market which could be lit indefinitely have curtailed their manufacture because of the difficulty in obtaining the chemicals necessary for the process due to the war effort. Scientists have invented so many new and pow- erful drugs that the world never heard of before. Sulfa-drugs, sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine, plasma, penicillin, and other drugs unheard of before the war will take a prominent place in our every-day life in the near future. Many more remarkable discoveries in the scientific world arc being made every day. They are also discovering cures for diseases which, up to this time, have been a mystery to science and the world. Homes will be made of pre-fabricated materials, air-conditioning will become available for the most modest home, helicopters will reduce travel time to a minimum, cars will be made of plastic ma- terials with the engines located in the rear. Even candy will share in our post-war plans. It shall be proved that candy is a food with high nutritional value and the most palatable medium for enjoying fatigue-resisting sources of quick energy. Television will be common. We shall sit in our own living room and view, through radios equipped with television, our favorite singer, ra- dio programs, or our favorite sports. It seems impossible, but daily newspapers will be printed in our own living room by radio from central editorial rooms. We’re going to have a better world after the war, but we must all do our part, no one must shirk his duties. Educational facilities will be given our returning veterans. Education will play a major part in our lives. That is why parents should insist on their children going to school and graduating. True, the high wage paid in war plants is a temptation to a young student, but he must always bear in mind, while very little thought is given to his educational background and jobs are plentiful now, there shall come a day when an education will be of the utmost impor- tance, and those that do have an education and are trained for some specific vocation shall be the ones that profit. The future holds promise of good things to come. Materially it undoubtedly will be a better world to live in—spiritually it can be a better world, if we think and work and plan to make it so.
