t t � ' � i, i. i i t WOBURN PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDED 1856. The 1947 I N N I T O U ♦ PUBLISHED BY The Senior Class OF WOBURN HIGH SCHOOL WOBURN, MASSACHUSETTS JUN 4 1947 . o fated w 2 ni X5 ' v Ms THE TITLE OF OUR YEARBOOK Since we wish to have our readers share in the pride which we feel regarding the title of our book, we should like to relate the legend of Lake Innitou. In the early days of our country, when Indians roamed the land and the white man was little known, legend has it that Horn Pond was a frequent haunt of these Red Skins. At that time, the mountain behind the pond was known as Manitou, and the pond as Innitou. The legend comes down to us that the old spirit, Man¬ itou, liked to gaze at his reflection in the clear waters of Innitou. Thus, we gather that Innitou was the “looking glass” for Man¬ itou and the Indians of those days. So, today, the Class of 1947 has chosen the name “The Innitou” for its “Looking Glass” of school friends and activities. Z)o Our Superintendent J. FRANK HASSETT In sincere recognition of his ability as superintendent, his auth¬ ority, both gracious and just, his guidance, cheerfully given, his spirit of friendliness, his interest in all our activities, his kindness and understanding, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Sev¬ en respectfully dedicates the first volume of “The Innitou.” cA Aie33ag,e ZJo T)he Qraduating. Cla33 Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops, - no, but the kind of man the country turns out.’’ We also can say of our school that the true test is not the number of pupils, nor the size of the building, but the kind of stu¬ dent our school turns out. Formal schooling only prepares the boy or girl to learn. Each must be taught to think logically and constructively and can be given the primary tools of education such as reading, but it is his own responsibility to continue the learning process during his mature years. The main objective in high school is to teach one how to learn. The late Michael E. Fitzgerald, formerly Superintendent of Schools in Cambridge, Massachusetts, once stated that in addition to teaching young people the three R’s, that they also must be taught to be self-supporting, heal¬ thy, contented, and useful citizens. It is my contention that in order to be a useful citizen of the state, country and world a boy or girl must be taught and encouraged to be a good citizen of Woburn. In securing employment or acquiring a higher education beyond high school, one may travel afar, but his Woburn education and virtues practiced at home will go along with him. Consequently, each of you must know or be taught how to live in har¬ mony with your next door neighbor regardless of his race, creed or color. When you can do this with little effort, and when you learn to love and be proud of your own city, support its institutions, and share in its good government, then - and only then - have you acquired the standing of a useful citizen. Education in a democracy must not stop with graduation from school. The acquiring of a diploma is not the end; it is just the beginning. It tells all mankind, and especially all interested parties, that you have been intro¬ duced to the tools and skills of the learning process; that you have been pre¬ pared for a higher education, or to have a try at solving the intricate prob¬ lems found in employment. In closing this brief message, I would have it known that it is my sin¬ cere wish that each and every member of the graduating class find a useful and successful vocation in later life. Although I have not had the opportun¬ ity to know each of you personally, I do want you in years to come to con¬ sider me a friend. If at any time I can be of assistance to you in seeking higher education or securing employment, do not hesitate to call upon me. J. Frank Hassett Superintendent of Schools OREL M. BEAN Your Principal and Teachers join in sincere congratulations to you as you approach your graduation from high school. It is our hope that you will not stop here but that you may marshall your forces in preparation for the field of endeavor for which by inheritance, personal characteristics, and mental and physical qualities you are best fitted. Know yourselves, for this is the best equipment with which to go forth successfully to meet the diffi¬ culties of school, work, and life itself, and thereby to attain the ultim¬ ate goal of achievement and individual happiness. We rejoice with you in the success of your yearbook. It is a notable achievement. Through the years ahead you will turn its pages, and mem¬ ories of happy events of your school days at Woburn Senior High School will give you great enjoyment. Remember that it has been a pleasure for us to help you and that we shall look forward to any further service we may render in the years to come. Z)he faculty First row (left to right): Zilpah F.

Among her favorite hobbies are ice skating and playing the piano. Blanche’s peeve is studying, although her abilities in stenography and typing will make her the fine secretary she hopes to be. DOROTHY MAY AMES “Dotty” made her class sit up and take notice of her speed and accuracy in typing. “Dotty’s” sweet disposition and attrac¬ tive clothes are just a few of her admired attractions. Her deter¬ mined nature will bring her success in whatever field she finally chooses. MARY ROSE ANGUONI “Smiley” couldn’t possess a more suitable name, for she al¬ ways broke the chill in the corridors of W. H. S. with her warm pleasing grin. Swimming, softball, and reading are among Mary’s pastimes. She was a typist for the “Reflector” which gave her practice in the subject in which she excels. MIRIAM ESTHER BEATTIE Miriam is a lovable girl with a bubbling sense of humor. Her pretty brown eyes and wavy hair made more than one head look her way. Miriam took part in school activities as Assistant Short Story Editor of the “Reflector.” NANCY ANNE BEST “Nan” kept the class in a continual whirl, for we never knew from one moment to the next what she was going to do. Her fine features, neat appearance, and sense of humor are some of her most outstanding characteristics. [ 14 1 MARTHA ELIZABETH BIGGER “Marty is a fun-loving person who puts the class in a good frame of mind. Bowling, along with dancing and listening to records fill “Marty’s” idle hours. We know that sense of humor and ready grin will bring her many friends and much happiness in later life. MILDRED LOUISE BRADLEY “Milly” stopped us all with her ability to arrange her fine blond hair so neatly. Being a member of the Drama Club, the Chorus and Assistant Editor of the “Reflector” are among her many activities. Milly’s sincere and sweet nature has won her many friends during her four years at W. H. S. THOMAS WILLIAM BRENNAN “Tom” is the type of fellow who is very angelic in school, but, like most of us, can raise the dust when he gets outside. “Tommy”, full of energy and class spirit, enlivened many a dull class. i DONALD EATON BROCK “Don” settled into one of the quieter spots of the senior class, although we are told he had a way with the women. “Don” took his place as a cheerleader and helped keep up the spirit of the class. BARBARA ANN BUOTE “Barb” cheered her associates with her friendliness and willingness to work. Her activities included piano playing and she loaned her talents to all the unglorious hut important jobs that came her way. [ 5 ] JOAN TERESE BYRON Joan’s excellence in shorthand and typing has placed her in the position dreamed about by all W. El. S.’s future secretaries. Joan was chosen treasurer of the class, a member of the Student Council, and typist of the “Yearbook”. Her happy disposition and attractive clothes will bring her the position she desires. ANN THERESA CAGNINA Ann surrounded herself with a phenomenal amount of ac¬ tivities, but never for a moment lost her calm disposition. Stu- den Council and Glee Club claimed her presence but she still had time for dancing, reading, and going to the movies. She dislikes “peeping Toms” that read over her shoulder. JOHN JEROME CAGNINA “Cag” meandered through W. H. S. in a calm and serene way. His good looks and handsome build rated him high with the opposite sex. His principal interest centered around football and he was an energetic member of the class. WILLIAM JONES CALLAHAN “Bill” proved to be one of the leading lights in the class of “47”. He was president of the class, treasurer of the Student Council, member of the “Yearbook” Staff, band, orchestra and traffic squad. “Bill” still had time to take up basketball, cross country, and the fairer sex. WILLIAM ANTHONY CANADA “Bill”, with his friendly manner, breezed through Woburn High. Even though Bill was a member of the basketball team, he took time out for skating and swimming to keep him busy in his spare time. [ 16 ] WILLIAM HENRY CANNON “Gus appears to be rather bashful, but is really full of fun. He was employed by a lumber company after school. Gus was also interested in sports and was one of the most ambitious mem¬ bers of the class. RICHARD STEPHEN CAPUCI “Dick” was considered one of the tallest boys in the class since he is over six feet tall. He is employed by a local grocery store and plans to stay in this line of business after graduation. CAROLINE RUTH CASSIDY “Hop-A-Long” possessed an inimitable giggle that made us all laugh whenever we heard it. Because of her happy nature, there was never a dull moment in any of her classes. RICHARD CHASE “Dick” brightened classes in more ways than one. Because he is such a laugh-providing fellow, it can be easily understood why he is well liked. “Dick” enjoys drawing, singing, and females. His pet peeve is snobby persons. LORRAINE EDITH CLARK “Rainy” rang up plenty of friends with her vivacious smile and good looks. In her outward appearance she seems quiet, but actually she is full of fun. “Rainy” is very fond of all sports but claims dancing is her favorite pastime. [ 17 1 ROBERT ELMER CLARK “Elmer,” as he is known to his close friends, can be spotted irorn afar by his great mass of freckles. His favorite pastime is golf the sport in which he excels. He hopes to be a pro¬ fessional golf player some day. Good luck, Elmer! RUTH LOUISE CLARK “Red” graced the corridors of W. H. S. with her sweet smile and lovely figure. The Glee Club took up her time in school as well as bowling outside of school. Her pet peeve is men — that is, with the exception of Dick. PAULA FRANCES CLINTON Paula’s quiet and refined manner kept the classes from boil¬ ing over many times. She actively participated in the Student Council and was one of the Assistant Art Editors on the “Re¬ flector” Staff. Sports and dancing also attract Paula along with her beloved art work. LOUISE LUCILLE COIRO Louise can be pointed out as the quiet girl with the neat hair-do. Louise admits she is none-too-fond of history but likes to sew and read. We hope her ambition to become a hairdresser will come true. JOHN DANIEL COLLINS John is known as the calm fellow who can keep a level head in troublesome situations. This ambitious young fellow took part in and supported all school functions. John’s composure will lead him to success in life. [ 18 ] MARY TERESA CONVILLE Mary’s unusual ability to manage her lovely locks still has us puzzled. Mary is also known for her charming smile and sweet disposition. Her untiring efforts as a member of the Glee Club, Red Cross, and “Reflector” Staff were greatly appreciated. Second recess is Mary’s only peeve. DOROTHY JEAN COOK “Dottie” was a definite asset to the Class of “47” with her poise and neat, attractive appearance. Dottie likes to travel and has big plans for the future as a nurse. Being Poetry Editor of the Reflector kept “Dottie” on the run as well as being a mem¬ ber of the Drama Club. VIRGINIA MARIE CORSETTI “Ginny” can be identified as a tall, good-looking girl with a nice complexion and long, wavy hair. “Ginny” enjoys sinking baskets and finds time to devote to dancing, skating, swimming, and being Home Room Secretary. PATRICIA JANE CRAFT “Patty” can be spotted from afar by her long blonde hair, smooth clothes and figure. “Patty” is one of those rare people who can be jack-of-all trades and master of many - especially men! “Patty’s” activities are many - particularly in the line of sports. BARBARA JEAN CRAWFORD “Barbs” gathered many friends with her refined nature and ability to get along well with people. The Glee Club was “Barb’s” preference as well as dancing and reading in her few spare moments. Her placidity and neatness of dress will be definite assets to her position in life. [ 19 1 1 DONALD EDWARD CULLIVAN “Don” screened his personality in a cloud of silence. He wasted no energy being idle while he was here at W. H. S. “Don” studied his way through the four years, which will prepare him well for his life work. BARBARA ELEANOR DAVIS “Barbs” chattered brightly through the years and usually kept us laughing. Barbara claims inquisitive people as the thing that “gets under her skin” the most. Dogs, and piano pla ying take up “Barb ' s” leisure minutes. FRANCIS JEROME DAVIS “Frank” proved his leadership when he was chosen Editor- in-Chief of the Yearbook Staff. Although he bears no resem¬ blance to the original “Frankie”, the women seem to go for him in the same way. “Frank’s” willingness to help made him one of the best liked boys in the class. HAROLD JOSEPH DeLONG “Snookie” possessed a nice crop of wavy, black hair that was admired by members of both sexes. He went out for bas¬ ketball. “Snookie” has no immediate plans for the future, but we know he will be successful in whatever he undertakes. EMMA FRANCES DeMONICO Emma dazed all on-lcokers with her perfect features, wavy hair, trim figure and smooth clothes. Her beauty was more than skin deep, for Emma had friendliness and sincerity to offer all her classmates. Her duties as typist on the Yearbook and mem¬ ber of the Volley Ball Team were faithfully fulfilled. [ 20 ] EDWARD FRANCIS DEVANEY “Boots” flashed through Woburn High with a football un¬ der one arm, a baseball bat under the other, and a thought for the fair sex under his hair. As vice-president of his.-home room he fulfilled his duties with that ambition that is so character¬ istic of him. MARGARET ELIZABETH DEVER “Mag” became the envy of everyone because of her trim clothes and appearance. She busied herself with the Drama Club, Chorus, and as Short Story Editor of the “Reflector”. Margaret’s sweet disposition and lady-like mannerisms won her a great many friends. MARY VIVIAN DIAMANTAS “Nickie” fascinated us with her lovely blue eyes and long eyelashes. Her pet peeve, as with most of us, is studying for term exams. In her leisure time, Mary collects jewelry and pieces of music for the piano, which she plays beautifully. PALMA MARIE DiLORENZO “Pam” viewed W. H. S’s surroundings from “way down.” Despite this fact, she went out for swimming and skating. “Pam” was always sure to have her assignments done and in on time. This promptness will make her the fine secretary she hopes to be. WALLACE ROY DIXON “Wally” ambled along in an unobtrusive manner. One would find him at the Strand afternoons after school, ushering the patrons to their seats. “Wally’s” quiet manner, neat appear¬ ance, and ambition will enable him to make his way well in this world. [ 21 ] ANN MARIE DOHERTY “S ' uz” skipped merrily through the halls with her happy- go-lucky attitude and her winning smile. Her activities took in the Drama Club and the Chorus as well as all kinds of sports. Ann Marie’s jolly nature will reward her in her chosen career. HEROLD FRANCIS DOHERTY “Dots” wasted no time being idle while he went through his four years. His handsome frame drew many a gal’s eye along with his good marks. “Dots” was chosen a Junior-Rotarian and was a member of the Traffic Squad. MARIE CONCETTA DOHERTY “Lover” was well liked because of her sunny disposition. Her athletic abilities became more interesting after she v as chosen Athletic Editor of the “Reflector” Staff. Marie’s favorite pastime is singing and we enjoyed hearing her sing as much as she enjoyed singing for us. RICHARD JOSEPH DOHERTY “Dick”, as he is well-known to his chums, was an ener¬ getic member of the senior class. He was employed in a grocery store after school hours and has plans of going to Boston College after graduation. CARROLL EDWARD DOLAN “Slug” won his letter as a first string end on the football team. He was the signal caller and one of the most dependable players. He dislikes being called Carroll, and intends to enter college after graduation. [ ] DOROTHY AVIS DOUBLEDAY “Dotty” made us sit up and take notice of her beautiful art work in Room 25. Her artistic talents are evident in her fine choice of clothes. She is on the Art Department pf the “Year¬ book”. The art school that welcomes “Dotty” will have a very promising student. DONALD LEONARD DOVER “Duck” is an ardent follower of all the W. H. S. athletic teams. He is interested in aviation and intends to become a pilot after he finishes his course. Lots of luck, “Duck.” We know you’ll make a good one. WARREN GEORGE DOWNER Warren was the school reporter for the Woburn Press, and puts in a good word for all our student activities. In his leisure time, he enjoys skating and hockey. Warren has no plans for the future as yet. JOSEPH LEROY DOWNEY “Scratch” was a fiend with a basketball — the sport in which he really excelled. Although sports are his main interests, he enjoys night life (how odd!) and kept the classes going with his ceaseless jokes and quick wit. CHARLINA MARIE DURAN “Chena” glittered as she passed by with her long, golden hair and big, sparkling eyes. She attracted many friends of both sexes with her sweet disposition. When “Chena” takes up secretarial work we hope her boss will be able to keep his mind on the business at hand. [ 2 3 1 BARBARA ANN ERWIN “Barb” rushed through her daily activities without a mo¬ ment to spare. She was a pianist for the Glee Club and a Sen¬ ior Class Delegate to the Women’s Club. Barbara’s neat, at¬ tractive clothes and well-groomed appearance are a definite asset for an A-I secretary. JEANNE MARIE FAUCHER “Fosh” skipped merrily through her four years taking part in many activities. Her help as Student Council Representative, Drama Club, and Art Editor of the Reflector was graciously given and greatly appreciated. Although this petite miss dislikes homework, she finds enjoyment in drawing and reading. JOHN WILLIAM FIELDS “Fieldsie” caught the spotlight with his superb handling of the football. His popularity in this respect made him one of the best-liked athletes in the school. “Fieldsie” has a great deal of wit and a fine personality. ANGELO JOHN FIGUCIA Angelo took his place in the class as being one of its best- liked members. His favorite pastime is dancing. Angelo has no plans for the immediate future, but we know he will be a success in his chosen field. ROBERT WILLIAM FINETHY “Bob” made the dust fly as he zoomed up the field with the pigskin under his arm. “Bob” is not only an excellent dancer but also impressed us with his charms. At the top of his list of hobbies is Jeanne. [ 24 ] CHARLOTTE MAE FINLEY “Charlie” whisked along the corridors in a very friendly manner. Among her school activities were Editor of the “Year¬ book”, Assistant Editorial Editor and Assistant Short Story Ed¬ itorial Editor and Assistant Short Story Editor of the “Reflec¬ tor”, treasurer of her home room, and basketball. PAUL JOSEPH FLAHERTY “Fla sh” managed to keep every class in a jovial mood wi:h his fun-loving nature. He disliked study periods, but passed the time by drawing sketches. Paul has a natural way of making women “fall for him” by flashing his contagious grin. ELAINE ANN FOLEY Elaine brightened the halls of W.H.S. with her sweet smile and happy nature. Student Council and Volley Ball claimed her attention as well as cheer-leading and being Assistant Chief Editor of the “Reflector”. Besides Bob, dancing and reading oc¬ cupy her leisure time. EILEEN VIRGINIA FOSTER “Ginia” captivated us all with her blond beauty. She went out for sports and was elected as a cheerleader. “Ginia’s” pretty clothes and easy-to-get-along-with qualities will bring her many more friends when she leaves Woburn High. EDWARD FULLER “Eddie” never let a dull moment drift into any classroom while he was around. No matter how serious the subject, he brought out the humorous side of it. “Eddie’s” curly hair betray¬ ed his care-free attitude. [ 25 ] HELEN THERESA GARVEY “Garv” occupied the quieter side of the class. She took part in the Glee Club and likes to collect records in her after-school hours. Students who giggle when answering teachers’ questions annoy her. Behind her serious appearance lies a sweet dispos¬ ition. JANET MARY GAUDET Janet graced every class with her sincere and understanding personality. Janet was active in sports and participated in ev¬ erything she could. Her helpfulness and cooperation will make her a successful secretary. PAULINE ELIZABETH GEARY “Polly” buzzed around the halls and entertained us with her flair for talking. “Polly’s” neat, wavy hair brought many compliments from her classmates. Homework depresses her, but she makes up for it by avidly collecting scrapbooks. JOSEPH RICHARD GENTILE “Joe-Joe” claims he is the fellow who doesn ' t like to work. He added his fine saxaphone playing to the Band and Orchestra. Besides having saxaphone playing as a hobby, he enjoys his “night life.” RUDOLPH JOSEPH GENTILE “Rudy” really ran an all-out campaign to become the pres¬ ident of his homeroom. He commands all attention at parties and gatherings with his “Harry James” version of how a trum¬ pet should be played. “Rudy” intends to make music his life’s work by leading an orchestra of his own. [ 26 ] HELEN GEORGOULAKOS Helen usually kept us laughing, but she could be just as serious if the occasion demanded. Her quietness can be account¬ ed for when one considers the amount of reading -and studying she does. Girls as sincere as Helen are hard to find. JOHN FRANCIS GIFFUNE “Guffo” makes his way among everyone with emphasis on the fair sex — especially blondes. His sense of humor and neat¬ ness of clothes will make him one of the best-remembered stud¬ ents after graduation. JOHN HENRY GONSALVES JR. “Gonsi” ambled nonchalantly through Woburn High School, always amiably protesting against women, and still, in the same breath, claimed them as his favorite leisure time activity! Jackie participated in school activities as a member of the Band, Or¬ chestra, and Student Council. NORMA ERICA GRANLUND Norma was once termed as the “Atomic Blond”, which we think describes her perfectly. A well dressed and well mannered girl, Norma excels in skating which she has chosen as her pet hobby. MARION ELIZABETH GRAY “Marty” went through Woburn High brightening the halls and classes with her fun-loving nature. At the head of her list of hobbies is men with special emphasis on “Eddie”. There was never a dull moment in any of her classes. [ 27 ] THOMAS JOSEPH GRIFFIN “Griff’ looked down upon the class from his tall frame but that didn’t exclude him from the class activities. Although quiet and good-natured, he helped whenever and wherever he could. This made him one of our most reliable members. ROBERT EDWARD HARRON “Sonny” is the fellow who could be recognized in the cor¬ ridors of W. H. S. with a broad grin on his face. After school hours, Sonny works on a farm. He intends to take up agri¬ culture as his future work. RUTH SIGRID HILBRUNNER “Ruthie” didn’t go out for anything in the athletic line, but supported all the socials and drives the A. A. put on. Sew¬ ing, cooking, and music occupy her time. She confesses “Soup- sippers” annoy her the most. PRISCILLA ANNE HODGDON Cilia walked a quiet path and yet she always seemed to be in the spot where she was most needed. She could be depend¬ ed upon to carry out even the most difficult tasks. Girls in high heels and slacks bother her. RICHARD WILLIAM IRONS Indian” excelled in his favorite pastime, hunting. In the daytime he slays deer with his trusty little rifle, and in the ev¬ ening he slays the dears with his unmistakable charms. Dic¬ kie was a definite asset to the football team and his pet peeve is work. [ 28 ] JANET CLAIRE JOHNSON “Red” has a nickname that fits her perfectly, for she has long hair of a beautiful golden-red shade. Her activities includ¬ ed Assistant Poetry Editor of the “Reflector” and she was in charge of costumes for the Drama Club. Janet has a great deal of skill in knitting. JEAN EVELYN JOHNSON Jean knocked us out with her lovely eyes, hair and sweet disposition. Although she attracted the Woburn boys, Jean pre¬ ferred the men of the Navy. Her ambitious nature will take her a long way. PHYLLIS MARY JOHNSON “Phyl” skipped through the halls with her happy-go-lucky nature and with her mind always on sports. She belonged to the Baseball Team and enjoyed this sport as a hobby. Hockey rates second best. PRISCILLA MARION JOHNSON “Cilia” calmed us down with her quiet nature. “Cilia” en¬ joyed office work nd had an after school position in town. Her most noticeable characteristic is her studious nature which will be a great aid to her when she enters college. RICHARD DONALD JOHNSON “Dick” took active part in all the A. A.’s “doings”. He dis¬ likes people who can’t take it, but can readily give it. “Dick” en¬ joys driving different makes of cars as a leisure time activity. [ 29 ] MARGARET PATRICIA KEARNS “Peggy” captured many friends with her genial disposition. She was Class Editor of the “Reflector” Staff, and she enjoys skating and dancing, too. We’re sure “Peggy” will be ready on the dot at 9 A. M. when she becomes a secretary. ISABEL ELIZABETH KELLY “Scotty” kept our class in a jolly mood with her quick wit. She pepped up school spirit by participating in the Band as a Drum Majorette. Ice skating, swimming, and Bill occupy her after school hours. ANTHONY LABRIOLA “Tony” was one of the stars of the Track Team. He was a runner in the 100 yard dash, but excelled in high and broad jumping. Tony works in a local grocery store and plans to continue there after graduation. BARBARA FRANCES La CASSE “Barbie” could be identified as one of the cutest girls in the class. Although she assumed a quiet air during school hours, she is just as full of fun as the next one when she is outside. Her main interests are dancing and men. IRENE JOSEPHINE LaCASSE “Legs” is well known as Marion Gray’s shadow, for they are always together. She is active in sports and gets a great deal of enjoyment out of life. “Chicken’s” neat appearance will bring out her best in life. [ 30 ] DOROTHY MAE LANGILL “Dotty” bounded through her four years at W. H. S. with an ever-ready smile and a great store of energy. “Dotty” is an avid skater and takes a great interest in all sports. ' CARL, PAUL LENTINI Carl was known for his superb dancing which he considers his favorite pastime. He also had an eagle eye (as a matter of fact, he had two) for the opposite sex — it must have been his sharp wit that attracted them. JOSEPHINE VIRGINIA LENTINI “Josie” buzzed around the halls as busy as a bee. She was one of the Treasurers for the “Yearbook” Staff. Her neat, at¬ tractive clothes were a compliment to herself and an asset to the class. ROBERT TIRRELL LEONARD “Bob” showed his enjoyment of life with his deep sense of humor. “Bob” was outstanding because of his manners and his fine taste in clothes. These things made him popular with his classmates -- especially the “women”. MARY WINIFRED PORTER LYONS Mary dazed the class with her lovely clothes and sweet smile. She is the type of girl that excels in all things. Mary takes an active interest in sports and is a smooth dancer. [ 3 1 1 M s$j THOMAS PETER LYONS “Mott” is a carefree young man who never lets anything bother him. He works on his father’s farm and some day hopes to take control of it. We know he will be a capable boss. DOROTHY HARRIET MacFARLANE “Dotty” entranced us with her long, brown hair and flirta¬ tious eyes. She has a flair for making her clothes and jewel¬ ry. Whatever the future holds in store for “Dotty”, we are sure she can fill the bill. MAR JORIE LOUISE MALLARD “Margie” flitted through the halls with hardly a moment to spare. “Shorty” was Subscription Editor of the Year Book and Home Room Representative of the A. A. Piano playing, danc¬ ing, and “Al” are “Margie’s” main interests. JEAN THERESE MARSHALL Jean’s slender form showed off her stylish clothes to a great advantage. Jean was Art Editor for the Yearbook Staff and an active member of the A. A. Noisy crowds annoy her the most of anything. ANNE ELIZABETH MARTIN Anne’s warm smile and fun-loving nature made her one of the best-liked girls in the class. She was Secretary of the Class and Assistant Business Manager of the Yearbook. Her helpfulness in both positions was very much appreciated. [ 3 2 1 ROBERT JOSEPH MARTIN “Bob’ ' was one of those boys who believes in being seen but not heard. He was a good student and always had a smile and “hello” for everyone. He was interested in Sports and en¬ joyed them in his leisure hours. ELEANOR FRANCES MARTINI Eleanor’s name is linked with sports, for she loves basket¬ ball. baseball, volley ball, bowling, and many other sports. Al¬ though a serious student, she gets a “big kick” out of life, as one can tell by her sparkling wit and friendly grin. JOHN CHARLES MARTINI “Johnny” is the good-looking fellow who is Business Man¬ ager of the Yearbook. He went out for baseball and enjoys hockey in his after-school hours. Getting up in the morning is his pet peeve. Best of all, he likes watching the Boston Bruins play. FREDERICK ARTHUR MASSE “Fred” is the type of boy who appreciates good music, es¬ pecially Bach’s pieces. Fred was a member of the Traffic Squad and always had a ready smile for everyone. He also is a talented musician, making the piano his hobby. william McCarthy “Bill” is one of the class’s most active sports enthusiasts. He considers basketball his first choice of favorite sports. “Bill’s” ambitious nature will bring him luck in his future work. [ 33 1 JOHN FREDERICK McCAULEY III “Jack’s” list of accomplishments include Traffic Squad, Vice President of his Home Room, President of the Student Council, Photography Department of the Yearbook, and member of the Band. “Pappy” also has his hat set for playing the drums and his heart set for “Terry”. EVELYN FRANCIS McCUE “Evie” is a little girl who has a lot of sunshine in her smile. Ice skating and swimming are some of the sports she likes. People who speak to you one day and ignore you the next bother Jtwie. ROBERT WILLLIAM McCUE “Bob” lost himself in a cloud of silence while going through his four years at W. H. S ' . Although very easy-going, he has a wit that is hard to beat. His main interests circle around sports. GRACE MARGARET McDONALD “Sparkles” was given that name because of her heavenly blue eyes. Her shyness and neatness of appearance aided her popul¬ arity with her classmates. Grace’s happy nature and willingness to help will aid her in her life’s work. ANN ELIZABETH McGARRY “Betty” possesses a keen sense of humor and a great store of energy when it comes to sports. Although Betty claims she was not made to be a scholar, she does claim to be an avid horse¬ back rider. [ 34 1 ALICE KATHRYN McGINN u “Al” puts everyone under her spell with her lovely eyes and long eyelashes. “Smokey” loves to dance and confesses that boys with long fingernails annoy her. Alice can read her short¬ hand like a book and will make some boss a fine secretary some day. GEORGE DANIEL McGONDEL “Swede”, known as a most inspirational Captain, led the Cross Country Team to one of its most successful seasons.

Hugh stays with a job until he finishes it. What characteristic is better than that one?

She had the very important position of Editor-in-Chief of the “Reflector.” We are sure “Joanie’s” artistic skill will lead her to great things in life.

Being quiet does not keep “Lpu” out of sports for she enjoys skiing and rates music as her second choice.

RICHARD EARL VIGNEAULT “Dick” was one of the most outstanding members of the senior class. He was chosen a Junior Rotarian and a member of the Traffic Squad. His pet peeve is “word problems” but he overcomes this difficulty through his hobby-women. MARY ALICE WALDRON Mary wowed the class by her perfect features, nice figure, and smooth clothes.

He could be found at the Post Office after school hours doing almost anything from sorting mail to winking at the fairer sex. WILLIAM THOMAS COURTNEY “Bill” quietly and modestly sauntered through the halls of W. H. S. with that good-natured expression on his face. Bill was the all-round type of person that enjoyed all kinds of ac¬ tivities and sports, and he will take his place in the world with the best of them. PAUL KENNETH DEEHAN Paul could be easily termed as one of the most efficient members of the Traffic Squad. He spends most of his spare time reading scientific magazines and he likes to skate. JACK HARVEY FENTON “Harmie” added not a little humor to the halls of W. H. S. “Fent” went out for baseball and took an active part in ath¬ letics as a cheerleader. Collecting service patches is his hobby and “i:3o’s” are his peeve. “Fent’s” neat appearance and jolly disposition are hard to beat.

Sgrulloni A student government was organized last September for the purpose of fostering school spirit and aiding in the direction of extra curricula activities. The Council consists of a representative from each home room and from every organized club or team in the Senior High School. The council elected a special committee to draw up a constitution by which the Council must abide. Advisors for the Student Council are Mr. Ricker and Mr. Blake.

Callahan This selected group of boys has for the last year been responsible for the law and order in the corridors of Woburn Senior High School. They have seen to it that all the rules have been enforced, without incurring the dis¬ pleasure of the student body. Not only have they been stationed in the corridors during passing between classes, but also during fire drills. It is understood that if a fire should occur, they would be among the last to leave the building. These boys truly deserve the commendation of all for the difficult tasks they have so ably performed.

McGovern, P. Anderson, M. Ted- esco, D. Brown, E. Fuller Among the most important extra curricular activities of our school is the orchestra, which is the source of much enjoyment at school assemblies and other activities. The orchestra has, until recently, consisted of both Junior and Senior High School pupils, but has been separated this year so that each school has its own unit. This repertoire consisted of many outstanding selections which ranged from the realms of the classical to the most modern compositions, so that there was increased enjoyment for all who attended our school functions.

Our band, under the direction of Mr. Kimball, is one which any high school would be proud to call its own. Our band, com¬ posed of thirty pupils from the Junior and Senior High Schools, has, by its colorful performances at football games, parades and assemblies, become a real tribute to our school and to our city. Several afternoons have been spent in preparation for special events, as the various maneuvers on the foot¬ ball fields have shown. Many times we have seen the orange and black uniforms in parades and other public observances, and we have realized how fortunate we are to have such a fine organization.

This year, as in the past, the staff was made up of volunteers who will¬ ingly gave much of their time to turning out a worthwhile magazine. Any student who has held an office on this staff can be proud of the job he has done. The aims of “The Reflector” have always been to reveal the literary and artistic talent of the students, to present discussions of importance and con¬ troversial questions by means of editorials, to edit class news and humorous incidents, and to provide a lasting memory of school life for future years.

The purpose of the club is to encourage dramatics in the school. Some of its members are interested only in the interpretation of the words of the play; others study the lighting effects, properties, and arrangements; and, finally, there are those members of the club who concentrate on the backdrops and the propagation of the play. Joan Spillsbury and Margaret McCafferty were very successful as student coaches, under the direction of Miss Hazel M. Percy, the club advisor, who gave so freely of her time and talent.

Carroll The Woburn High School Athletic Association was newly organized in September to promote a more active interest in school sports and activities. The following officers were elected: Everett LaFrance, President; Eliza¬ beth Fallon, Vice-president; and June E epper, Secretary. Instead of separate tickets this year, we had a “Student Activities Book” containing twenty coupons which allowed the owner to enter all home games in football and basketball. The cost of the book was two dollars and fif¬ ty cents, payable in three installments. This was an easy and effective way of paying for attendance at all home games. We also sponsored throughout the season several socials in the form of dances which were held in the gymnasium and which raised a substantial sum for our organization. The Athletic Association regards this year as a good beginning in reviv¬ ing school spirit and we hope that next year ' s club will expand and continue the work we have started.

Fowle This year’s Woburn High Cross Country Team was one of the finest ever produced by Coach John McGovern at the local high school. The team ran seven dual meets and won six of them. The team’s only defeat was at the hands of the State Champions, Beverly High. Woburn fin¬ ished in third place in the Eastern Massachusetts League. They also fin¬ ished third in a meet conducted by this League. In the State Meet at Franklin Park, Boston, the team finished fourth. In this contest were Cross Country Teams from twenty-two different schools with one hundred and seventy-nine runners competing. Woburn had three runners that fin¬ ished among the first seven in this group. They were Robert Cannon, and the Fowle twins, Richard and Robert. The team was headed by Captain George McGondel. Other members of the team were Robert Cannon, Richard Fowle, Robert Fowle, John Kon¬ iares, Angelo Koniares, Clayton Lacey, Roy Craft, Tony Mentas, Arthur Papastathis, Joseph McDonough, and Lawrence Gilgun. The results of the dual meets follow: Woburn 21 Winchester 37 Woburn 18 Everett Trade 4 1 Woburn 26 Concord 29 Woburn 40 Beverly 20 Woburn 2 4 Melrose 3 2 Woburn 2 5 Belmont 3 2 Woburn 16 Revere 5 2 Cheerleader J First row, left to right: D.

Every¬ body was asking, ‘‘Who is going out for cheerleading?” The cheerleaders were voted for by all the boys and girls of the school. Win or lose, they were always there to pep up the team and the spectators. The Seniors elected were as follows: Elaine Foley, Virginia Foster, Ev¬ elyn Rice, Mary Sweeney, Donald Brock, and Jack Fenton. Charles McGov¬ ern and Patricia Mohan, who were elected in their junior year, were the captains of the cheer leaders. Irene McHugh, a junior, was also elected, and she will take over the reins of captain next season. Let’s hope for a more successful football season next year, and as peppy a squad of cheer leaders as was produced this year. [ 62 ] football T)eam First row, left to right: J. Froberg, J.

Luise Although this year’s team had several obstacles to overcome, it can be said that the coach managed to put a fighting eleven on the field for all games. Because of difficulties in securing a coach, the team was not called out for practice until a month before the opening game. During the en¬ tire season, injuries kept many of the players from participating and caused us to have a different eleven in every contest. John Fields, Edward Sulli¬ van, and Carroll Dolan were the only players to start every game. Because of the fact that “Ray” Walsh was in the service, the team was headed by Co-Captain John Fields, halfback. “Tom” Foley, “Pete” O’¬ Brien, and “Slug” Dolan, and “Gene” Vasapolli served as ends, while tackles included Richard Irons, Ed Sullivan and William Heimlich; “Jim” Menelly, “Bob” Finethy and “Mike” Luise ably filled the guard positions, and “Lave” McKee and “Gus” Borgeson alternated as centers. In addition to Co-captain Fields, the backfields were “)oe” Rafferty, “Bob” Garvey, “Eddie” Devaney, Tony Nardone, John Lisacki, and Robert Schenck. All performed creditab¬ ly Coaches Paul Dorrington and Walter White deserve much credit for putting their untiring efforts into the past season in an attempt to produce a winning team.

Knowles, B. Burns, J. Whittie This year’s basketball team was the most enthusiastic of recent years. Although Coach Margaret L. Feeney had the task of finding an entirely new squad to replace last year’s team which was lost through graduation, she uncovered several stars who were members of the second team a year ago. The forwards were Captain Mary Sweeney, Julia Petrillo, and Jean Morgan, who were capable of getting baskets from almost any spot on the floor. The guards, who ably filled their positions, were Mary McLellan, Dorothy Ames, and Eleanor Martini. First string “subs” who proved themselves to be very valuable to the team were Alice O’Melia, Mary Lou O’Doherty, and Mary Gichun. In the final game of the season, the team defeated a strong Alumnae team. The final score was 23-18. In the games played with Malden, Melrose, Wilmington, Somerville, Reading, and St. Clements, the girls dis¬ played good sportsmanship and results of excellent training.

Cirone Coach Bart McDonough built last year’s orange and black hoop team around several veterans of the 1946 varsity. At the first practice session, which was held immediately after the close of the football season, he was greeted by the following lettermen: Peter O’Brien, “Billy” McCarthy, “Ed ' Sullivan, and Roy Downey. Also in the group of hopeful candidates were “Bob” Garvey, and “Bob” Schenck, members of last year’s second team, and John Schwab, who transferred to this school from Somerville High at the beginning of the school year. “Pete” O’Brien led the team in scoring in most of the games and turned in many fine performances during the season at center position. Forwards “Ed” Sullivan, “Billy” McCarthy, and John Shwab all proved to be valuable assets to the team, as each one gave the team some added scoring punch. “Bob” Garvey, Roy Downey, and “Bob” Schenk all turned in several great defensive performances at guard positions during the campaign and also contributed their share of the scoring. Coach “Bart” McDonough deserves a great amount of credit for the time, patience, and hard work which he unselfishly gave to the team. [ 65 ] (Badminton J. Whittle I. Tedesco C. Duran M. Gichun J.

[ 75 1 JUNIOR CLASS GIRLS JUNIOR CLASS BOYS The Class of 1948 Woburn High School Woburn, Mass. Dear Juniors, We who are about to depart from these halls of learning wish to leave with you, our successors, a few words of friend¬ ly advice. Although we fully realized your true worth and the help given to us in all our undertakings, we took it more or less for granted. Now that we must leave all this behind us, it seems to be brought clearly to our minds. Your com¬ bination of fun, wit, wisdom, and loyalty really did much to make memorable all phases of our senior year. If at a future date, we can repay you for your kindness, we hope that you will feel free to call upon us. Unwilling as we are to give it up, we entrust to you the torch which led our class through the past year and closer to the goal we set in life. Hold it high and keep it burning ever clearer and brighter! May you profit by our mistakes and gain knowledge by your own experiences. May you be ever-mindful of the fact that .underclassmen will look to you for ideals and standards. Do not fail them. Our last wish for you is the sincere hope that success will crown all your efforts and that the joys and happiness which we have enjoyed in our last year at Woburn High will be yours in the year to come. Sincerely yours, t The Class of 1947 [77 1 SOPHOMORE CLASS GIRLS SOPHOMORE CLASS BOYS The Class of 1949 Woburn High School Woburn, Mass. Dear Sophomores, We regret the fact that we had but one short year in which to become acquainted with such a fine class. We do appreci¬ ate the cooperation which you have given to us in all our un¬ dertakings and w r e hope that you will always keep that spir¬ it. You have made a fine reputation which will become greater in the years to come. As you enter the junior year, your responsibilities will be greater. Do not shirk your duty in assuming these re¬ sponsibilities. Meet them with the courage and determina¬ tion which your school has instilled in you. You may find traveling a bit rough at times but may we assure you that the trip is short and that the satisfaction gained at overcoming those rough spots is worthwhile seeking. When at last you reach that long-awaited senior year, may you go forth with that same enthusiasm which you have already shown, and thus add to our record your list of ach¬ ievements. May you, as seniors, look back on your school days and find no memory to mar your happiness. May you have the satisfaction of knowing that one day Woburn High School will be happy to claim you as one of her children.

Without the aid and cooperation of our friends, we never could have accomplished this large undertaking. It would have been impossible for us to realize our ambition if it were not for the financial help given us by our patrons and advertisers. To them we extend our heartfelt thanks. We are also deeply grateful to the Woburn Press and the Woburn Daily Times for the publicity given us, to the Delaney Press for a job well-done and for being so patient with us, to the Vantine Studios for their excel¬ lent photography and their understanding of our foibles, to George Zimbel for his time and ability as cameraman, to Mr. Bean and Miss Mostika for their endurance in giv¬ ing us much-needed information, and to our advisers, es¬ pecially Miss Margaret Burke, who encouraged us and gave so unstintingly of her time in helping us to organize and assemble our book for publication. [ 85 ] [ 87 ] —And now we end our story. We may have made mis¬ takes - all humans do. However, we enjoyed publishing our book and are looking forward to pleasant reviews of it in the future.
