CLASS SONG
(to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne")
Dear Johnson High, we leave you now,
With mem'ries fond and true
The high school we have always loved
We bid thee now adieu.
With this old world in such a strife,
We are in debt to you,
For you've prepared us for a life,
With faith and hope anew.
We leave to fight with all our might,
Each for his country true.
Remember us, dear Johnson High,
And we'll remember you.
When all the world is calm and still
This is our hope and aim,
That we may climb right up the hill
To Johnson's Hall of Fame.

ALVAH GEORGE HAYES
i
ADDRESS TO THE SENIORS
REQUENTLY, these days, we hear on the streets, and read in the news-
papers, the arguments over what America is fighting for. It seems to me
that the issue is rather clear cut and should require little definition. Many
times we have referred to Washington or to Lincoln and possibly ended our
discussion with the statement, "There was a great mean." Or we may have
thought of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, or any one of thousands of other
eminent Americans, and considered their contributions to the economic life
of our country. But how many of us have stopped to consider that these
infinite contributions to our national life have been possible only because
America is and always has been the land of opportunity? Here is what we
are fighting for. We wish to preserve for ourselves and for the generations
to come, this opportunity to rise to a place of prominence based upon our own
sincere efforts. We are fighting for other things too, to be sure—but rolled
together they all add up to the preservation of America as the "Land of Oppor-
tunity."
We are told we must shed blood and tears to win. Here is something
worthy of the sacrifice. It is our great American tradition. It has been
possible because we have been free and because our national creed that all men
are created free and equal is one of the cornerstones of our democratic belief.
In a world dominated by dictators, that tradition, that spirit, that belief
cannot endure. Nor can it exist in any system where the multitudes become
the pawns of the few. In America we have no proletariat. There is no such
group here. True, we have working people, but not working classes. In
America the sons and daughters of working men can be the statesmen, doctors,
lawyers and teachers of tomorrow. There is nothing to stop them, because
the opportunity is there. In America, if you have character and courage, you
can carve your own career. It is for the preservation of this right that Ameri-
cans go to war, with victory in their hearts. It is for this right that the war
must be won. America must remain the "Land of Opportunity."

Why Make Peace Plans Now?
URING the past few months there has been increasing discussion about
the kind of peace we want to see established after this war. A few persons
think that the nations of the earth will continue in the course they were
taking when in 1939 Hitler plunged the world into World War II. However,
most thinking people agree that there will be many difficult problems confront-
ing the United Nations when victory is finally achieved. There seems to be a
difference of opinion among these people as to the advisability of discussing
concrete measures now to ensure that the world will not have to undergo the
torture of a World War III which would probably destroy civilization.
Various prominent leaders in the political life of this nation and others of
the United Nations have expressed their opinions regarding this problem which
will affect the course of events for many generations to come.
Wendell Willkie, upon returning from his extensive trip, which led him to
Russia, China, Africa and various other of the United Nations, was convinced
that the leaders of the United States and Great Britain should make a state-
ment that would let the weaker members of the United Nations know that the
United States and Great Britain are as vitally interested in guaranteeing the
Four Freedoms to them as to their own countries. He felt that this was essen-
tial at this time to secure the fullest participation of these people in winning the
war. Colonies that have helped the United Nations in the war should, in Mr.
Willkie's opinion, be helped to organize independent governments and should
have the guarantee of the United Nations not to slip back into colonial status.
Another strong voice in the demand for planning the post-war period is
Henry Agard Wallace. Mr. Wallace maintains that this is the century of the
common man in which living standards of all nations, victor and vanquished,
must be improved if disaster for us all is to be averted. He has advanced
several proposals by which he hopes to avoid an economic collapse after this
war such as the one which succeeded the last war and precipitated the present
conflict. It is his opinion that if the producers of raw materials are not to
suffer great financial losses after this war, there must be some plan devised
whereby producers of certain raw materials will be assured a reasonable price
for their products for some years after the war. This program would aid not
only the producers who suffered so much from the decline in prices of their
products after the last war, but also the country as a whole. This is true, for
if the farmer loses his purchasing power, factories soon cut down their produc-
tion. This means the discharging of thousands of employees.
Under-Secretary of State Sumner Welles declares that the era of imperialism
is at an end and that one of the vital problems of the peace will be a wider dis-
tribution of the products of labor to the common people of the world.
is
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
Speaking from London several weeks ago, Prime Minister Winston Churchill
asserted that some form of world organization with an international police
force would be needed, for a time at least, to prevent aggressor nations from
ever again perpetrating such crimes against peace-loving peoples.
Several weeks ago a resolution was introduced into the Senate by Senators
Burton of Ohio, Ball of Minnesota, Lister Hill of Alabama, and Hatch of New
Mexico which, if made law, would give the Senate's approval to the entrance of
the United States into an international organization patterned upon the League
of Nations. This is particularly significant, as it was the lack of a two-thirds
vote in the Senate after the last war that prevented the United States from
joining the League of Nations and later the World Court.
Opponents of discussing peace plans now state that it might cause disunity
among the United Nations when the outcome of the war depends upon the
closest cooperation among them. In answer to this argument those in favor
of planning for the peace while the war is still in progress reply that after the
war is over and the uniting influence of common danger is removed the various
members of the United Nations will be less inclined to sit around a conference
table and iron out their differences.
As a result of a lack of planning for the peace during the last war the dele-
gates from the various countries presented as many different plans as there
were governments represented. This resulted only in confusion and quarreling.
An encouraging sign that the United Nations are cooperating in post-war
plans is seen in the food conference that is scheduled for May. While the
problem of feeding the starving populations of Europe and Asia is not a contro-
versial matter, as many of the problems will be; nevertheless, it shows a willing-
ness to cooperate, the importance of which cannot be overlooked.
If we are to win the peace, it appears essential that we should become more
thoroughly acquainted with the controversial issues that will confront the
United Nations when the war ends, and give intensive study to them, while
not slackening in the slightest degree our efforts to hasten the downfall of the
Axis.

CLASS ORATION
On the Youth of Today Rests the Democracy of Tomorrow
N THE shoulders of the youth of today rests the greatest burden, and yet
the greatest opportunity which has ever been the heritage of any genera-
tion. We are faced with the very destruction of our Democracy, and it is
for us, the youth of America, to straighten our shoulders and face the issue.
First and foremost in the hearts of all of us is the winning of the war. Many
of us are already in it—some from our own school--and many more will go,
North, South, East, or West, we cannot tell where. We do know, however, if
this war should be lost, all our plans for peace would be useless and without
meaning.
Here is where youth's first service to Democracy begins. Our young men
19
THE GOBBLER - 1943
and women have gone forth with a bravery and courage as great as any pioneer
or pilgrim, and many of their names will go down on the pages of history with
Boone and Washington to be honored forever. Youth is fighting this war, and
so is doing its part right now to preserve our Democracy tomorrow.
Victory we must have, but victory alone is not enough. When the last gun
is fired and our tired boys come home, there will be other battles to be fought
on our own soil. Our young soldiers and sailors and our farmers and factory
workers who are now fighting our way to freedom will have to take up the
battle of thoughts and decisions which will take a part in shaping the world.
We cannot lay aside our duty with our arms, for in the answers to these ques-
tions lies the very life of our Democracy. We will have to take our part in
deciding what policies we want our nation to follow. What shall be done with
our armies and our navies? How can we safeguard world peace? How can
we keep production and employment at its fullest? What about world trade
and world air routes? How shall we put our Democracy on its feet financially?
And how shall we punish the agressor? All these questions must be answered.
They are a challenge—a gauntlet flung in the face of youth.
Some philosophers have said that after the last World War, if the Allies
had taken over the schools of Germany along with its banks and munition
plants and led the young German mind along different channels, this second
war might never have come about. Instead, what did happen? Their Nazi
Youth leader declared, "Every boy and girl in this nation will be made a
National Socialist. There will be no escape possible from the channel we shall
mark for the German to follow from childhood to manhood." So the Nazi
youth was trained. Its freedom of thought and speech was taken away. Its
individuality was crushed. Even its loyalty to home and family was trampled
on—and out of it all came the Nazi war machine, cruel and relentless.
Nearly two centuries ago Thomas Jefferson wrote our Declaration of Inde-
pendence and so laid down the fundamental principles of our Democracy. We
want no youth built and trained around one pattern! We want no youth
without initiative or imagination! Life' Liberty! and the Pursuit of Happiness!
These things are the very bone and structure of our Democracy. They are its
very life blood. But we do need training. We need education from the home
and on through high school and college, so that each individual will have an
understanding and a willing cooperation in world affairs. We need to under-
stand what our Democracy is about, what we want from it, and what, in turn,
we can give it. We need to be taught to pick our leaders, and we need the
truth at all times to help us in our decisions.
On the shoulders of the youth of today rests a very serious burden, but
there rests also the opportunity to answer these problems that come with judge-
ment and courage and bring to the broken world again happiness and peace.
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the pro-
tection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes and
our sacred honor."

JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS ESSAY
Johnson at War
UR boys are fighting and dying in the marshes of Guadalcanal, the fox holes
of Africa, and on the ships in the Atlantic and Pacific. They are fighting
that our nation and other democratic nations in this world may live without
fear of enemy aggression. They are fighting that the people of these United
States.may not feel the whip of the Gestapo and the bayonets of the Japs. We,
too, on the home front, have our battle to win, the battle of production. It is
taking the combined efforts of every man, woman, and child to keep guns,
ammunition, and food in the hands of our defenders.
Through the Victory Corps we in Johnson High School have a part in the
war effort. The two objectives of this wartime program are: to train youth
for wartime service that will come after they leave school, and to provide active
participation of youth in the community's war effort while they are yet in
school. It is intended as a nation-wide student organization for secondary
schools. It is democratic and voluntary in nature. All are invited to work
together for a common purpose—Victory.
There are five divisions in this Victory Corps: The Air Service Division,
the Land Service Division, the Sea Service Division, the Production Division,
and the Community Service Division. To fulfill the requirements in these
special divisions, many pupils are taking correspondence courses, and are per-
forming other wartime activities. Among us we have model plane builders,
forest fire wardens, defense messengers, airplane spotters, and block leaders.
Some of us work at the report center, and attend surgical dressing and first-aid
classes. Others are learning automotive repair work. Correspondence courses
have been available in foods and nutrition, radio, and automobile upkeep and
repair. Many are doing sales work or caring for children of working mothers.
During the six weeks after this organization was begun, sixteen hundred hours,
or two hundred eight-hour days were put into various wartime jobs. Eighteen
hundred hours were spent, exclusive of physical education, in such activities,
and in training for various projects such as blue-print reading and messenger
work. That is what Johnson has done for the war effort.
The students of our school have participated in three salvage drives: a steel
salvage drive, and two tin collections. Five hundred pounds of scrap iron and
steel per pupil were collected in one day. The average tin collection was
thirty-five pounds per pupil.
From the weekly sale of war savings stamps from December 1 to May 1,
$3,200 were collected. The students are very proud to say that they have
bought a jeep for our boys. They take great pride in having been able to lend
their money to provide guns, ammunition, and grenades for those who are giving
their lives in order to keep the enemies from our shores.
To relieve the manpower shortage in local industries many have taken part-
time jobs working in stores or taking care of children of working mothers, or
21
THE GOBBLER - 1943
working on farms. Over half of the pupils are employed in some work after
school. To aid the farmers in planting, caring for, and harvesting crops, about
thirty pupils have volunteered to do their best as farmers and farmerettes. The
school has acted as a go-between for employers and employees.
Emphasis has been put on domestic arts, mathematics, and the sciences.
Every morning the chemistry class tested the drinking water and sent a report
to the head of the Water Department. There have been additions to the curric-
ulum: pre-flight training, and physical education. Current events play an im-
portant part in our wartime program. In our current events papers authori-
tative accounts of events at home and abroad are written in such a manner
that they are easily understood. Space is given to discussing at length post-
war problems. Another valuable paper provided for the pupils of the school
is Current. Aviation. This is to acquaint the students with the principles of
aviation. The importance of aviation now and in the post-war world has been
recognized. Now is the time for the people to learn about aerodynamics, and
meteorology, so that they will not be in complete ignorance when aviation is
introduced into the world on a large scale.
How better could I conclude this than to quote our President, Franklin D.
Roosevelt? "When our enemies challenge our country to stand up and fight,
they challenge each and every one of us, and each and every one of us has
accepted this challenge for himself and for the nation."

VALEDICTORY
Music, the Universal Language
HE language of music is understood all over the world. It is the part of man's
nature by which he expresses thoughts he would be unable to express
through words, gestures, writing, or the arts. "Music is infinite;" said
Balzac, "it contains all, it is able to express all."
The Chinese claim that music began in their country 3000 B.C. The first
music was probably vocal, and then the natural desire for rhythm led to the
making of instruments of wood, stone, metal, skin, or clay to keep time. Carv-
ings on monuments of Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Persia, and among the
Hebrews show a remarkable resemblance between the first musical instruments
and the modern families of the violin, guitar, harp, and drum.
During the first thousand years after the birth of Christ, the leading musical
work of the world was done under the shadow of the Church. During the
story-book life of the twelfth century, when chivalry was at its height, trouba-
dours wandered from place to place singing the praises of some fair lady or
the deeds of some famous hero. The melodies of the troubadours may have
formed the basis for the folk-songs of the French people of today.
We see that, from the very first breath of life, the need of music is mani-
fested, for the cradle-songs of a mother lull the baby to sleep. In a few months
the baby amuses himself with a little rattle, bells, or other musical toys. In
22
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
thousands of public schools, music is practiced with imagination and enjoy-
ment. In millions of youngsters this education is awakening a love of music
which might otherwise lie dormant. It is giving every child a joyous experi-
ence of making music. Real art, which might have lain buried in the commu-
nity, frequently is brought to life.
Musical activities in England have expanded 30% since 1939. When the
blackouts came, thousands of families found a priceless blessing in music. It
calmed the fears of frightened children, averted panics, and helped the homes
meet the frenzy of awful uncertainty. Obliged to remain at home, the people
soon rediscovered the greater delights and privileges of the fireside. The
bookstores and music shops were literally emptied. Gathering around the
piano and taking an active part in making music, children helped to stabilize
the amazing morale of the Empire.
Music-making helps us to face life and to make proper adjustments in a
constantly changing world. It releases tensions of discord, worry, fear, excite-
ment, and replaces them with harmony, self-confidence, stability, and poise.
It establishes a sense of security in a world that seems to be falling to pieces.
It is not necessary to become a professional in order to experience the enjoy-
ment of music. Since I was eight, my pet hobby has been playing the piano.
I have studied it through the years, but only for the sheer fun of it. It is my
greatest joy, my absorbing interest. It is my personal spiritual bank account
—a rich asset to draw on when the days are rainy.
There is evidence that the Americas have been united partially by the
ambassadors of good will through song. A nationally-known orchestra leader
is given a great deal of credit for creating a feeling of friendliness toward the
Latin Americas through his music. He has made modern youth "conga-
conscious" of the catchy, syncopated South American dance. It is doubtful
whether the music from such countries as China and India make us want to
dance, but it certainly makes us perk up our ears to listen. We hear the mad,
whirling tarantella of Italy and think of the spritely spirit of her people. And
nothing could be a better reminder of the patient determination of the Russians
than the Volga boatman's "Yo, heave, ho."
Nearly every European country has contributed immeasurably to the
musical world through its classical compositions. The Austrians especially were
generous with the eternal works of Mozart, Haydn, von Weber, and Schubert.
Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Russia have been no less fortunate in reaping
the rewards of fame of their own respective prodigies.
We want to avoid the intolerance which predominates in a great part of
Europe. At one time, for insignificant political reasons, Rachmaninoff's music
was barred from his native country. In present-day Germany, Russian and
Jewish compositions are heard or played only under strict penalty. Music is
one of the ideals for which free men the world over are giving their lives.
There has been a needless hue and cry in all parts of America about the
lack of musical activity in this war compared with the first world war. They
say we have no "Over There," or "Tipperary," or "There's a Long, Long
23
THE GOBBLER - 1943
Trail," or "Keep the Home Fires Burning;" we have no song leaders in quasi-
military uniform; there is no community singing. But who can deny that such
songs as "Praise the Lord," "We Did It Before," "White Cliffs of Dover," and
"Johnny Doughboy" have been made famous by the troops? A song of war
is often long remembered when all else is forgotten. The patriotic enthusiasm
of the orators of the press, of the state, of the jurists during the War of 1812
have long since faded, but the stirring words of the "Star Spangled Banner"
will live forever.
One has only to turn on the radio and listen to the programs coming from
the camps to realize how active is the soldiers' interest in music. Perhaps we
may have less community singing in this war, but it should be remembered
that in the last war today's radio was totally unknown. The radio has been
developed into such a giant industry that now, every day, hundreds of patriotic
messages, almost always accompanied by music, are showered out over the air.
Whenever there has been a war, there has been music. The soldier march-
ing into battle with a song in his heart is an irresistible fighting machine. Even
the primitive savages realized this truth because they marched to war to the
beat of tomtoms. The Scottish Highlanders, known as the fiercest fighters
of the last great war, marched into the mouth of machine gun and cannon with
the strains of bagpipes ringing in their ears. Soldiers must have music. It is
as necessary to their hearts as bread is to their bodies. It is natural that they
must find some relaxation to get away from the grimness of war, and generally
it is through music. When soldiers have been too exhausted to sing, just listen-
ing to music has put new life into them. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, in a
preface contributed by him to "The Soldiers' Song Book" wrote: "Troops
that sing as they march will not only reach their destination more quickly and
in better fighting condition, but inspired by the music and words of national
songs, will feel self-confident, which is the mother of victory."
This is the one field in which there should continue to be "business as usual."
So as the blessings of music go on, let us forward march with the overture of
VICTORY!
We, the Class of 1943, have reached, this evening, the goal of achievement
we have striven to attain for twelve years. "After graduation" is no longer a
vision of the future, but a very real thing of the present.
Many of us will never again walk through the corridors of Johnson High,
laughing, carefree, happy. Some will, instead, fill the halls of higher institu-
tions of learning. Some will join hands with ten million other free men to
fight with a bigger and better team. The rest of us will hold down the home
front and work to help our classmates win the peace.
All there is left to offer is our humble thanks to our closest adviser, friend,
and principal, Mr. Hayes, for his ever-ready sympathy and understanding, and
our assurance to the teaching faculty that we are proudly stepping out into the
world as well-guided, better-informed, qualified youths of America.

VALEDICTORY HONOR
Seldom do two pupils attain identical ranks at the conclusion of a high
school course. At the close of the first semester this year Kenneth Carvell
and Claire Lambert, our valedictorian, had the same average. At that time
Kenneth left Johnson to enroll at Harvard University. All at Johnson regret
that he cannot speak at graduation. In appreciation of his scholarship the
Gobbler*is printing a brief essay which he submitted to the Journal during the
first semester.
Changes Needed in Our Course of Study
HE teachers don't understand it. The principal doesn't understand it.
William's parents don't understand it at all. William has failed in his
Latin and French again this term. The teachers know he tries as much as,
or even more than, any other pupil in his class, and give him extra credit for
his obvious effort, yet he is still far below the passing grade. The one, however,
who feels worst of all over it is William, for he was the one who put countless
hours into these subjects, trying to memorize long vocabularies and translate
hard passages. Finally he has to drop the subjects and lose a year's work.
This situation should not have existed. William is not a linguist, but is
without doubt skilled in other lines. He is skillful in the use of his hands.
More handicraft subjects should be introduced into our school curriculum, such
as woodworking, welding, printing, and metal work. The pupil's adviser
should look up his previous record, and suggest subjects that would suit the
student's talents. In this manner we should find fewer failures in our school
system.
Handicraft classes should be taught as regular subjects with a well planned
year's work under an experienced teacher. In this way handicraft students
could fit themselves for the future, for although the languages would be for-
gotten quickly, the student's handicraft experience would remain firmly in his
mind for years. Here high school might give the pupil the practical knowledge
which would earn his living for him after he graduated.
A change in the curriculum of this kind would have a great effect on the
standards of the school. The number of failures would have been considerably
reduced. Electricity classes could do valuable service in the school by correct-
ing improper lighting. Woodworking classes could fix desks, resurface tables,
and build book cases. Printing classes could print programs for activities of
the school and the town. As time goes on I feel that handicraft subjects will
become a necessary part of every high school course.

THE GOBBLER - 1943
CLASS HISTORY
HE doors reluctantly swung open, the stairs groaned sorrowfully, and even
the teachers were a little downhearted. They shuddered to think of the
noisy, ill-mannered freshmen disrupting the now quiet rooms. There was
no getting away from it, it had to be faced. The clock could not turn back
the time, the doors could not lock them out, and the faculty had to accept, at
least momentarily, the abuse forthcoming.
The noisy, bubbling freshmen of 1939 were quickly taken in hand, lectured
and cautioned by teachers and upper classmen. To say we settled down would
raise the anger of the shaken building, but we did start off on the right track.
We held elections (here I question the use of that word), and chose Leo Lafond
for president, Jimmy Allen for vice-president and Betty Kreusel as our secre-
tary-treasurer.
Clubs were renewed and for days the old school chuckled at the sight of
pigtails with odd-colored ribbons, and large bows bedecking heads of members.
The aprons worn were as amusing as the dolls carried about in loving arms.
Leo performed his first official act at the freshmen debut by thanking the
seniors for a wonderful dance and a warm welcome. The rally dance came
next. Spirits and hopes were high but to no avail. The Thanksgiving game
ended in a win for Punchard.
1940 rolled around, but we were still the foolish, note-passing freshmen.
Contests were started to sell tickets for the annual play. The return Fresh-
man-Senior dance was enjoyed. The prom came and went, affecting but few
of the freshmen girls. Then our worshipped seniors left, and now we were
sophomores.
The fall of '40 we came back because we felt it our duty to help the faculty
tame the freshmen. Yes, we were now supposedly subdued sophomores. Leo
held his presidency and the next two offices went to John Farrell and Barbara
Earl. America in miniature was seen at the polls of the mock election, in
which every student took part. We, too, chose President Roosevelt. John-
son's undefeated football team of 1940 was something to marvel at. Soon
after Thanksgiving, students and players alike trudged the icy miles to Ando-
ver to ask in unison that Punchard reconsider their refusal to play us and carry
out the scheduled plans. Unfortunately, this was to no avail.
Our hall was filled to the nth degree at the presentation of the play "What
a Life." The prom indirectly announced the end of a year of fun and then the
seniors took the spotlight as they prepared for graduation.
The summer of '41 gave us a well-deserved rest. The inadequate summer
holiday didn't quite heal our scarred and overworked minds, but nevertheless,
we went back to work gracefully.
Slacks boldly appeared and aroused a great deal of discussion. They won
the right to be worn to school, but not the boys' approval. The memorable
happening of our junior year was the defeat of Punchard by a score of 8 to 7.
The first in twenty-eight years! The Victory dance was a carry-over from this
26
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
wonderful event. There was a record-breaking attendance of over four hun-
dred. The players were taken to a hockey game in Boston by the cheer leaders.
December 7, 1941, is a date which will never be forgotten. We were at-
tacked by Japan while her ambassadors were here on a peace mission. Every
student sat in awed silence as the radio transmitted President Roosevelt's
speech to Congress, in which he asked for a declaration of war. Our courses
were rightly upset and the faculty did a wonderful job in preparing Johnson
students to face this situation confidently.
Balloon rhymes with June and the first week of that month held nothing but
balloons for many of the juniors and seniors. Tommy Sousa's band played
for the prom and the balloons were used as souvenirs.
September 9, 1942, meant the start of a new and final year. The same
dances and usual affairs were kept, but many new things had been added.
The seniors upset the usual procedure by having a barn dance before the
Senior-Freshman dance. It was a huge success with loud shirts, dungarees and
square dancing. Campaigning began soon after for a victory dance. The
dance was held, but the victory, at least in points, was enjoyed by Punchard.
The Johnson eleven was undefeated with the unfortunate exception of one
game. The football players were once more entertained at a party by the
cheer leaders.
The announcement that we were to graduate June 4 brought tears to eyes
of the faculty, and extreme joy to the seniors. We voted for a class supper
and plans for it and graduation outshone everything else.
Some day, somewhere, each one of us will look back over the four years
spent here and wish we were back. Little by little, the teachings, warnings
and predictions of our teachers will become real, and will, inevitably, pave the
road to a better life. And so, small in number, but mighty in memories, we
will go our separate ways. There are things, however, that will keep us to-
gether, no matter how far apart.
We leave, with a prayer for peace, everlasting peace, and a hope for happi-
ness.

CLASS WILL
E, the graduating class of 1943, who are still sane in mind and body after
the denouncing of the "Emancipation Proclamation" by the Johnson High

liant minds and our great leadership in this last will and testament.
Francis Driscoll conscientiously bequeaths his famous football tactics and

passes it on to Anna McKinnon.
Jane Russell faints dead away when she receives May Cunningham's fast

and furious movements—meaning on the basketball floor, of course. The
strain is too great for her.
John Tomaski and John Tyning get Raymond Lundquist's sharp jackets.
Joe Stillwell, the luckiest boy in the whole junior class, gets the fond good-

will only add to the mystery of how James' face can get so red without bursting
a blood vessel.
Virginia Aponovich bestows upon Mildred Amshey and Shirley Hamilton
her shapely legs, her unlimited supply of clothes, throwing in her list of broken
hearts.
Marion Stewart inherits the ties which kept our gang, Virginia, Alice and

Yours Truly together. We hope wherever she uses them, they will be just as
strong. She also receives Alice Bamford's most beautiful smile and entrancing
charm to aid her in capturing all hearts she hasn't already got.
Alex Milne, last but not least, bequeaths the acquired art of smooth dancing
to bewildered Ray Sullivan. We know you'll appreciate it, Ray.
Betty A. Kreusel
CLASS PROPHECY
ELL, it was 1955, and your reporter found himself at the Boxford Navy
Yard witnessing the launching of the S. S. Johnson on Sperry's pond.
His Honor, the Mayor of Boxford, Richard Hopping, was there with his
secretary Miriam Weatherbee. Scanning the crowd I saw many high Army
and Navy officials and many leading celebrities. Major Leo Lafond and
Colonel James Allen were there. These men were decorated for the Berlin
fighting. The Air Corps was represented by Flight Lieutenants John Stewart,
Dewey Dyer, and John Gordon. General Doolittle awarded these men the
Distinguished Flying Cross for extreme valor in bombing Tokyo during World
War II. The Motion Picture Industry sent two celebrities, Bernadette LaMour
and Tyrone Dill. Could it be—yes, it was, my old classmates Bernice Lefebvre
and Warren Dill. They were soon to appear in MGM's latest production,
"We Just Got Married, or We Should Have Thought Twice."
Now it was time for the launching, but where was the one who was to
christen the ship? Twenty minutes passed before the Earl's beachwagon
arrived, and out stepped Barbara, dripping in furs, laden with jewelry, and
hidden under four dollars worth of lace which was supposed to be a hat. Es-
corted by Admiral Joseph Donnelly, she gracefully stepped to the platform.
After an opening address by Congressman John Farrell and shipyard owner,
Robert Wentworth, Miss Earl christened the ship, the S.S. Johnson. As the
ship slid down the ways, the Navy band, under the leadership of Ensign Carl
Long, played the National Anthem.
As visitors were being allowed to go aboard the ship, I hurried to interview
the skipper. In my rush, I very rudely bumped into a woman. Turning to
apologize to her, I was greeted with a hearty "Hi 'ya Alex." It was indeed a
pleasure to meet Peggy Greenler neatly attired in a WAAC officer's uniform.
She was accompanied by her inseparable companion, Marcella Lyon, who is
private secretary to Sylvia Hall, manager of Cherry & Webb's. Ensign Bar-
bara Burgson of the WAVES greeted me as she passed by. I approached a
prettily dressed stewardess and inquired how to reach the Captain's quarters.
I recognized her as my old friend May Cunningham. I followed her vague
instructions, but must have made an error, for here I was down in the boiler
room where the welders were still at work. I went over to where three men
were working and asked them how to reach my destination. Did I say men?
When they turned around and took off their masks, I found myself face to face
with Betty Kreusel, Virginia Aponovich, and Alice Bamford. Betty told me
31
THE GOBBLER - 1943
that they were working only because welders were scarce, but in real life she
was a Registered Nurse and Alice a French teacher at Harvard. Virginia
sadly told me that she had just divorced a Russian count, her third husband,
and was finding it hard to support her four children.
Since the girls could give me no information, I walked along till I came to a
large room. No doubt it was the dance hall, for people were dancing and
strains of music filled the air. I immediately recognized the band leader as
Charles "Red-Hot" Dutton. As I came closer I started to laugh, for there
were Dick Payson beating it out on the drums, Ray Lundquist playing the
trumpet and Fred Kaufmann singing the latest hit song, "It's All Over Now."
Moving through the crowd I met Lea MacArthur, Etta Marshall, Pauline
Dainowski, and Dot Winning. Lea and Etta own and operate a beauty shop
and Pauline and Dot have earned themselves the title of New England's Hedda
Hoppers. Their articles appear daily in all the leading newspapers. I left
the ballroom and went out on the deck. I heard someone hail me, and turned
around to see Kathleen Ford and Kenneth Carvell. Kathleen has just been
appointed our new Ambassador to Great Britain and Kenneth has just returned
to America after six years of foreign correspondent's work in Europe. While
walking around the deck, whom should I see but Perley Rea, leading a group
of sightseers. Among the sightseers I saw Frank Driscoll and his wife, Ruth
Cohen. They are appearing as a rhumba team at a local night spot. I was
very pleased to meet Ann Chase, Eileen Driscoll, and Carolyn Welch, who I
learned have combined their talents and opened an Escort Service.
Deciding to look for the Captain later, I strolled into the dining room where
standing behind the counter was George Carroll. He was speaking to two
lovely waitresses, whom we knew as Claire Lambert and Mary Wilkinson.
Scanning the room I saw seated at a table Ray Schofield, surrounded by several
women. George explained to me that Ray is now principal of Johnson High
and those accompanying him were members of his faculty. They included
Vivian Campbell, Charlotte Anderson, Carmela Cuomo and Mary Margerison.
He also told me that Dennis Connelly had taken over the janitor's duties.
Seated at another table were Gilda Detora, Dot Doiron, and Marion Lund, who
were government secretaries in Washington.
On leaving the dining room, I ran into North Andover's three prominent
selectmen, George Barker, John Greenwood, and John Walsh. Eva Casale
and Eva Walsh were there. They were partners in a roller skating rink. Then
there were Louise and Luella Currier, who own and operate a large tourist
camp on Lake Cochichewick. On the deck was William Hayman, North And-
over's Chief of Police, speaking to Harvard's great football coach, Chester
Cramton. Standing at the rail I saw Barbara Finn and Barbara Fenton, both
Powers' Girl Models. The girls told me that Dot Kent, Ruth Bunker, and
Virginia Wood are heard daily on a serial program sponsored by Chipso Soap
Products.
It was then that I noticed June Sperry and Ruth Whittier walking around
with collection boxes. The girls proudly stated that they were raising funds
32
JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
to build a home for blind alley cats. At last I found someone who could direct
me to the Captain's quarters, William Deighan, a prominent attorney.
Following Bill's directions, I came to a door labeled "Captain." On enter-
ing, whom should I see but Captain Edward Sarcione. While chatting, he told
me that the plans for the ship were drawn up by that mechanical wizard, Ken-
neth Girard. The list of the ship's company showed that Jean Kennedy and
Peggy Dempsie were employed as ship's nurses. Hanging from the wall was a
large portrait of President Roosevelt, the work of that noted artist, Louise La-
fond.
Bidding the skipper good-bye, I left the ship and started back to my home
office. Hailing one of William Welch's taxicabs, I was quickly hurried back
to the hustling, busy city of North Andover. Mounting the steps of my office,
I was greeted by two of my fellow workers, Lois Parker, our fashion editor, and
Rachel Ritchie, our publicity manager.

FOOTBALL
Leo Lafond, president of the Class of '43 for four years, was elected to captain this year's
football team.
The team had an undefeated season until the final game with Punchard. This game was a I
disappointment, for the boys had high hopes for winning a second consecutive victory.
Sweaters were awarded to James Allen, John Stewart, John Greenwood, Chester Cramton,
John Walsh, Leo Lafond (Captain), Frank Driscoll. The remainder of the squad will be back
next year. I
Raymond Sullivan and Donald Rennie were elected to captain next year's team. Good
luck to both of them.

BASEBALL
Coach Cavalieri's call for battery candidates brought out several boys, but the only veterans
were Harry MacPherson and Paul Hulub. After several practice sessions, a pitching staff was
chosen consisting of Harry MacPherson, Fred Kaufmann, and Stewart Wilson. Paul Hulub I
and Norman Campbell were chosen for the catching duty.
The candidates for the remainder of the squad were called out at a later date. These
boys were selected to represent Johnson on the diamond: Ray Sullivan, Paul Hulub, Harry I
MacPherson, Alex Milne, Gordon Thompson, Donald Rennie, Frank Driscoll, Reid Norris,
William McEvoy, Philip Long, John Sullivan, Thomas Gosselin, Fred Kaufmann, Stewart
Wilson, Nickie Evangelos, Clayton Crotch, Douglas Lee, Arnold Wilcox, Oscar Soucy, and
Norman Campbell. I
GIRLS' BASKETBALL
This year's girls' team included Anne Agey, Marion Stewart, May Cunningham, Barbara I
Earl (Captain), Shirley Hamilton, and Bernice Lefebvre.
Because of transportation difficulties, the girls had but five games.
The girls have chosen black jackets with red. Those receiving the jackets are: Barbara
Earl, May Cunningham, and Bernice Lefebvre. All the other girls will be back next year.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
Physical training is new and very popular among the students at Johnson. Miss Howe, a
graduate of Sargent College, is in charge of the girls. Students now wish that physical train-
ing had been introduced into Johnson four years ago. The girls have selected blue uniforms.
The boys have gray uniforms. Mr. Lee was chosen to teach the boys. The main purpose
of the class is to teach all the students correct posture, walking, and marching. There are
also many exercises to help in building up the body. The girls have a five minute game period
and contests are held to see who is progressing the most. We all hope that physical training
is here to stay.
