THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS
S I sit at my desk to write this message to you, the Class of 1945, one thought
presents itself to me to the exclusion of all others. This concerns the war,
and the peace to follow. You are the first class to graduate from Johnson
High School, after having undergone the experience of seeing our nation at war,
during each of your four years of attendance. It is my fervent hope that you
may be the last class to graduate during a war year.
Since the beginning of history, man has made tremendous progress in many
ways and in varied fields. In the field of medicine, for instance, physical
afflictions which, even as recently as a generation ago were considered incurable,
are now relieved in a more or less routine manner. Plagues have been stamped
out, and epidemics can be controlled. However, little or no progress has been
made, since the beginning of time, in removing the most devastating and un-
necessary disease known to mankind—the disease of war. I believe it is safe to
say that before this one war is over, it will have taken a greater toll, in human
life, than all the plagues in the world's history.
Remarkable strides have been taken in the field of science. Frequently, we
are amazed by the developments of the scientific mind. But scientific creations
require logical reasoning. Why cannot this abundance of clear and logical
thinking be directed toward the development of a sure and accurate formula for
the solution of the riddle of peace? It is said that one indication of intelligence
is the ability to profit by experience. Can it be that our international intelli-
gence is so lacking that we will fail to profit from two such harrowing experiences
within a single generation?
Unless we insist upon a peace founded upon logical and clear reasoning, in-
stead of one based on power politics, and the resultant buffer states containing
large dissatisfied minorities, it will be the duty of your sons to undergo the same
terrible experience which your brothers have undergone in the present war. And
this may God forbid.
This may seem like a strange message to you, as you are about to graduate,
but the topic is the most important that our civilization has ever faced. We all
realize that the world could not stand another war. It is with this thought in
mind that I appeal to you to think along lines of a durable and satisfactory
peace. When all peoples of the world are persuaded to this thought, then, and
then only, will we realize that for which man has searched since the beginning
of time. Think of it now and think of it in the years to come, for one failing of
the human being is that he forgets altogether too quickly.
It has been a pleasure to know you as a class, during the last four years. The
entire staff of this school takes pride in your accomplishments. We will look
forward to the time when you take your places as respected members of our
community, with the knowledge that we may, in some small way, have helped
you along this path. May the remaining years be as happy for you, as have been
the years you spent in Johnson High.

he stayed with us we liked him. Good are concerned. He left us at the half

loss, their gain.
SALUTATORY
N behalf of my fellow students present tonight and those who are now in the
service of their country, I wish to extend a sincere welcome to the School
Committee, to our principal, Mr. Hayes, to the faculty of Johnson High
School, and to the parents, relatives, and friends who are present this evening.
Racial Tolerance
From all sides voices are raised to urge on our leaders to secure unconditional
surrender. Nazi barbarism, and the treatment of the Jews are only two of the
arguments raised against the Germans. I have never seen any Nazi barbarism.
I could only repeat stories you have already heard. But before we condemn the
Germans for their acts against the Jews, I would suggest we clean out our own
back yard. The proverb, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw
stones," applies to the American people as a whole.
Democracy is our ideal. That is the purpose and entire aim of the war for
most of the American people, and yet we permit race riots and racial discrimi-
nation through the entire country. No one section can be blamed. It is a com-
mon failing.
Negroes compose approximately one-tenth of the citizens of the United
States, and approximately three per cent are Jewish.
Negroes find that there is a great deal of job discrimination in both the
North and the South. If jobs are scarce, it is almost impossible for them to
obtain a position for which a white is in competition, and the jobs which they
do secure almost entirely consist of menial tasks. They are even denied the
right, except in rare cases, to rise from the social and economic caste to which
they are born because they are unable to plead their wrongs with a labor union
17
THE G O B B L E R - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
and secure justice in better jobs, better working conditions, and higher wages.
They are denied the right of membership in a labor union.
In some parts of the country, particularly the South, the Negroes are segre-
gated from the whites. They are forced to live in small Negro settlements.
These areas are so badly congested, the recreational facilities are so run down,
and the associates met are so bad, that it is not surprising magistrates declare,
"They are unruly, and overflow the courts and jails." Living quarters, recrea-
tional space, parks, hotels, amusement houses, railway coaches, street cars, and
even churches are plainly marked,"For Negroes Only,"or"No Negroes Allowed."
We talk about the injustice of German law, but never consider the injustice
of American law as applied to the Negro. Actually hundreds of Negroes have
been lynched or sentenced to death by good, sound, honest citizens for "Talking
back to a white man, testifying against whites, destruction of property, threat-
ening to sue a white man, and allowing dogs to chase white men's sheep." True,
many of these lynchings and sentences of death were carried out in the heat of
anger and mob violence, but our American law provides for an unprejudiced
trial by jury, and protection while under the custody of the agencies of Ameri-
can law.
Negro suffrage was obtained by Abraham Lincoln, but, in some states, it is
practically impossible for a Negro to vote. He is required to pass educational
qualifications and tests which are not applied to any of the whites. In the words
of Langston Hughes, a negro poet, the Negro frequently "must pay taxes but
refrain from going to the polls, must patriotically accept conscription to work,
fight, and perhaps die to regain or maintain freedom for people off in Australia,
when he hasn't it himself at home."
In certain quarters the Jewish find it just as difficult to obtain work as the
Negroes. Hotels and residential districts refuse to permit Jews to room or live
there. Then there are the propaganda agencies which start whispering cam-
paigns to prejudice us against the Jews. They maintain that the Jews are in
control of big business; that they own a large section of the press; that they
exert a great influence over public opinion; and that they are very powerful
in the government. The magazine "Fortune" recently made a survey which
proved conclusively that with only a few exceptions, such as the clothing busi-
ness, the industries are in non-Jewish hands.
If asked my opinion for the reason behind the prejudice against the Jews, I
would reply, "Jealousy." The Jewish range, like all races, from the very poor
to the enormously wealthy. They make their money and increase it by thrift,
economy, industry, and frugality. That is their privilege, and most Gentiles
could learn a' hard lesson from the Jew's unceasing industry. We should not
condemn the Rothschilds and Bischoffscheims any more than we are willing to
condemn the Rockefellers and the Astors.
With such events as 'these race riots and racial discriminations taking place
commonly in our own dearly beloved democracy, I do not think we have any
room for criticism.
Mr. Eric Johnston states, "Race hatreds and group intolerance simply do
is
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HI G H S C H O O L
not jibe with any of the formulas of freedom so dear to the American heart. To
the extent that they are allowed to flourish, they threaten to change the Amer-
ican Dream into another European nightmare." We can certainly disregard
such evidence as a riot in Detroit or Harlem, or anti-Semitic action in and around
Boston, but we're just putting off the day of reckoning. Eventually there will
be an outburst, an eruption on the part of the Negroes and the Jews.
They came from foreign countries, that's true, but so did you or your an-
cestors. You pay taxes to live here, abide by all the laws to the best of your
ability, but so do they. They have contributed to our economic, social, and
religious lives. George Gershwin, a Jew, and Dr. George Washington Carver, a
Negro, have contributed as much to our American way of living as Knute
Rockne, a Norwegian-born football player, or Dutch-born Edward William Bok.
Intolerance is the foundation of totalitarianism which our boys and girls
are fighting and dying to destroy. If we allow ourselves to be rotted from
within by the seeds of intolerance, I do not believe that democracy will survive,
and I do not believe that democracy, under such conditions, has any more right
to survive than the Nazi Reich.

CLASS ESSAY
The Needs of Youth in the Postwar World
HAT will the peace bring for youth? This is a question that many of us
here tonight are wondering about and yet no one can foresee. What we
hope to see is a world of harmony and justice, a world free from the stress
and strain of war, but to have this, youth will need much help if he is to take
his place in carrying out the plans for peace. The problems are many; solutions
have yet to be mastered. Our young people will need guidance, not only in
schools, but in the home, and in the church. Hitler has deeply impressed into
the minds of his youth the ideas of Nazi supremacy and the belief that Germans
were created to rule the world. If these boys and girls had had as strong a
guidance toward what is right in life as they had in all that is cruel and vicious,
our world today would be a better and more humane place in which to live.
Their guidance was evil; now they need training in the humane ways of living
and tolerance for their fellow men. Without this, can we carry out our plans
for a lasting peace? Will we be able to avoid a third World War, still more
terrible than this one? Only the future will reveal the results of our guidance,
but that guidance must destroy this feeling of hatred and distrust which has
been ingrained so deeply.
The character of our youth is built at home. It is here that we find the sym-
pathy for problems and the advice so badly needed by a young person. We have
a great amount of juvenile delinquency in our world today and we blame much
of it on the fact that parents have left youth to himself while they worked in
jobs essential to winning the war. Lacking the restraining hand and the loving
advice of the parent, many have chosen the wrong path. Doesn't this show how
19
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
great an influence parents have on the character of their youth? After this war
is finished and peace is settling over a weary world, youth will greatly need the
help of their parents in solving their problems. They will want some independ-
ence, youth always does, but they will also want someone to advise them and
help them when there is need of it. The love that is within the home is unequaled
by all the adventure and excitement of the street to which many young people
have now turned.
Much of the guidance of youth will be through the schools. We have found
that education is the basis of democracy and it will be a great weapon with
which to ward off depression. It is the youth who someday will be the leaders,
and they must be prepared to carry out the high ideals of peace which our great
leaders all over the world are striving so hard to attain and for which our boys
are fighting and dying. School is where our youth first meet and learn to solve
problems; here they learn to get along with other people and to cooperate. The
expert counsel and advice of teachers does much to-help them choose wisely
and will play an important role in the life of our coming youth. Vocational
guidance will be needed in all schools to help youth get the most out of school
life and plan for careers.
Recreation in the form of clubs, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Y. W.
C. A., and the Y. M. C. A. has been and will continue to be recognized as having
done much for youth. During this war, many clubs for young people have been
disbanded because leaders could not be found. Without these forms of recrea-
tion, boys and girls seek adventure in the streets and again we find a cause for
juvenile delinquency. Community groups will be a great factor in teaching co-
operation and clean living for boys and girls in peace time. Youth needs recrea-
tion, planned and carried out by them with adult guidance. Without it, juvenile
delinquency may easily win out.
Yes, youth will need guidance in the home, education in the schools, and
recreation from clubs, but the need greatest in my mind is security, security
from the topsy-turvy world at war and security from the horrible emptiness of
a world in depression. War has left its mark on our American youth as it has
on the youth of every other nation. They have seen those they loved leave for
war, many never to return, and they have shouldered their burden by collecting
scrap, saving their allowances for stamps and serving in every possible way.
Yet we are luckier than those of foreign countries, for we have never known the
terror of bombings, the fear that every plane that rides in the sky might drop
its bombs upon us, destroying our homes and those we love.- It will be a long
time before the youth of all countries will begin to forget some of the sufferings
that they have gone through and return to a happy, normal life, free from fear.
Even after the war, hopes for security could be destroyed. Depression was the
result of the last war, a terrible depression which left three millions out of work
and caused youth to suffer and grow hard before it had hardly begun to live.
May we ever remember in planning this peace to provide for youth, for his needs
are many and his hopes are high.

CLASS ORATION
Finished Yet Beginning
T is said that a man's job is never done. These words were well spoken, for
as soon as one task is completed, another, usually resulting from or connected
with the first, is at hand. Yes, a man must work hard and stay on his toes
to keep up with the world.
This class of 1945 is finished with its basic education only to find itself con-
fronted with a new and much harder education; the education of life where
mistaken are so costly and situations arise where the individual has to tax his
brains ten times as hard as he had to in solving his most difficult theorem in
geometry or his most perplexing problem in physics, with much more at stake
than a zero on a report card. The jump from high school to earning an inde-
pendent living is a terrific one for which the individual must be thoroughly
prepared.
But this is nothing compared to something I'd like to mention, something
that concerns everyone: the finishing up of this war, a giant task, and then
afterwards, an equally great task, the reconstruction and policing of enemy and
occupied countries. It is evident that the period after this war won't be the
Utopia some people have the idea it will. It is another case of working hard and
using brainwork. Think of the system that will be needed to control the actions
of 3,000,000 men of ours plus a far greater number of allied forces. Supplies and
food will be a great problem. War-torn Europe can't offer much, nor Russia,
nor Asia, nor any of the countries near the battle fronts. It-will be the Western
Hemisphere that will have to feed and equip the world. Cooperation with our
allies will be another problem and the hardest task will be to utterly destroy
the Nazi element down to the last instigator.
If an international police force is established, which seems rather probable,
this will involve much expense and experienced leaders. This again will be the
beginning of another task resulting from the finish of the war.
But we must be thorough in our work. Everyone knows that this war re-
sulted for the most part from a poor and inefficient mopping up and policing
of Germany after the last war and no doubt the same thing after this war would
lead infallibly to a World War No. 3. So let us be prepared to do a good job.
Cooperation with our allies is a "must" in keeping peace and world,order.
Pessimistic commentators tell us something like this: "A war with Russia is
inevitable" or "England will be done out of her power by the United States and
Russia" or similar talk. Whether they mean to or not, these critics have stirred
up, or will stir up suspicion among the allies. If we try to trust and have confi-
dence in our allies (and they do the same), think of all the unnecessary trouble
it will save. But on the other hand if we go gossiping that England is no good
or Russia is not to be trusted or France will stab us in the back, then the world
will return to the chaos from which it will have just arisen. Indeed, cooperation
with our allies will be essential to post-war peace.
21
THE GOBBLER - 1945 J OHN .SON HIGH SCHOOL
I will conclude by saying that there will always be a task before us, so why
not do a thorough job? This can be accomplished by preparedness, cooperation,
and the use of common sense.

VALEDICTORY
"I Ain't Goin' to Study War No Mo' "
E are graduating at a time when all the world is in an uproar and confusion.
Nation is fighting against nation; man against man; and machine against
machine. Sometimes we wish we could get out of the confusion- of these
times and view ourselves from somewhere in space and realize that we have
lowered ourselves to the level of beasts fighting needless death struggles. Yes,
war with its far reaching results is terrible, but science has made it even more
terrible.
It is needless to say that science has advanced very rapidly during the last
century, and that as a result our standard of living has also increased rapidly.
We now have untold thousands of modern conveniences which our grandparents
never dreamed of, and also have a much longer life expectancy. We now can sit
calmly in the front room before the radio and listen to voices from all over the
world, go for a ride in comfortable cars, have our work practically done for us
by electrical appliances, and travel from one end of the country to the other in
a few hours—to name just a few of the conveniences that science has brought
us in the last few years. It seems that the nations who produce the greatest
number of scientists and scientific discoveries are the ones whose standard of
living is the highest.
In peace science is a wonderful thing. Before the war it accounted for a
large number of jobs as well as being beneficial to society in its application.
Television was being perfected, disease was being conquered, new and bigger
airplanes and ships were being built, household appliances were being improved
upon and new ones being invented constantly—all for the benefit and improve-
ment for society.
And then came the war. Immediately all scientists turned attention to the
tremendous task before them—to win the war and to outmatch the enemy in
the fight for scientific superiority. With vigor never seen before scientists of all
countries worked and turned out new implements of destruction and man-
slaughter. The radio was turned into an implement of lies and propaganda;
peaceful airplanes were turned into flying guns and carriers of deadly bombs to
eliminate whole cities; ships were built to sink other ships, to bombard and
destroy shore installations and to launch dive bombers and torpedo planes;
radar, a development of the radio, was perfected to seek out enemy obstacles
in order to destroy them; poison gas, although it fortunately has not been used
in this war yet, was nevertheless perfected in case of emergency; automobiles
were turned into large and powerful tanks; and now with the development of
the German rocket bomb, the V2, even the United States is a possible target
T H E G O B BLE R - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
for bombing from across the sea. This could go on almost indefinitely. The
world is getting smaller and smaller, and also countries are becoming more and
more interdependent, so this war of science must stop.
While I was turning this subject over in my mind and forming the ideas, I
went to a service in which a Negro quartet was singing spirituals. One of them
immediately caught my attention and I realized that it was just what I wanted
to bring out—that it expressed exactly the theme of my talk. "I Ain't Goin' to
Study War No Mo'." If science could only use that as a theme and turn to a
study of peace with such vigor as they study war!
Of course someone will say that all the discoveries in this war are not for
destructive purposes and many of them can be used effectively for the good of
mankind after the war. Radar can be used to guide ships and airplanes for
safety, rocket bombs may be made into meteorological rockets and experimental
space ships, jet propulsion will prove to be a new era in engines, and the compli-
cated bomb sights may be turned into mechanical brains. Also great advances
in medicine and in the control of disease have been made which will prove very
helpful after the war. But what a price in human lives, property, suffering,
and destruction we have paid for these advances!
This spring when our beloved President passed away, all the networks of
our country canceled all commercial broadcasts and for three days we heard
nothing but music, songs, and tributes to our late President. When we hear of
things like this we realize the tremendous good that science can do and our
faith in it is strengthened greatly. But when at the same time we realize that
the German radio was broadcasting lies, insults, and rejoicing over his death,
we begin to doubt again.
Scientists must cooperate with each other and humanity, because in the
future science can mean a great benefit to mankind or its eventual destruction.
We have now reached the day we have been looking forward to for many
years—the day we could rejoice and say goodby to all the teachers and the
school. But now that it is here we aren't half as glad as we thought we would be.
In fact we are actually sad, because we are going to miss the good times we had
together, the acquaintances we made, and the happy-go-lucky life of high
school.
The road ahead will not be easy. Some of us will go on to college, some of
us will see service in the armed forces, some of us will start our life's work, but
whichever road we take will involve much hard work.
We wish to thank Mr. Hayes and all the teachers at Johnson who have
shown us splendid cooperation and thoughtful interest during our four years
here. Their leadership and guidance have made our days here successful and
they were always ready to help us out if we needed it.
We shall always remember them and our happy days here at Johnson as we
bid them a sad farewell.

CLASS HISTOR Y
T last June had come. In that eventful year of 1941 we emerged from
grammar school amidst sad goodbyes and not so muffled sighs of relief. We
were given two months to recuperate from the shock of being told we had
now achieved that longed-for title, freshmen.
Then came that fateful day in September when we reported to the hall for
instructions from Mr. Hayes, our new principal. Then for two weeks we invari-
ably went to the wrong room every other period until we finally grasped the
totally different system of bells and room changes. Class officers were elected
in September, too. Top honors went to Bill McEvoy for president and John
Ward for vice-president. Due to ballot stuffing, our first attempt at politics, we
did not elect a secretary.
In November we had our first dance. For weeks before, the seniors had
patiently shown us the fundamentals of dancing, but to no avail. Only a few of
us dared to leave those protecting walls and corners of the hall to dance.
December brought that horrible word, war. We assembled in the hall to
hear Congress vote for war, a war which is at this moment raging furiously in
the four corners of the world. In January we lost our beloved Miss Green to a
lucky man, and gained a new friend, Miss Donlan. After this we, the Class of
1945, prepared for the return dance to the seniors and it was a real success with
its songs, solos, and a little sketch the boys put on.
We elected Bill McEvoy as president again for our sophomore year. John
Sullivan was vice-president and Lorraine Lewis was secretary. Sophomores!
That was the proud title we bore now. December's events included the Sopho-
more-Junior dance and of course Christmas and New Year's Day. After viewing
the play "Lamb to the Slaughter" we happily adjourned for two months.
We started our junior year by electing officers as usual. Bill McEvoy, John
Sullivan and Lorraine Lewis were elected president, vice-president and secretary,
respectively. This was the year our football team won every game except one.
We all will remember Ray Sullivan and Donald Rennie, the co-captains, who
carried that pigskin down the field many times to keep us on top for weeks.
The first few months of 1944 were filled with the excitement of compiling
the Service Directory, which proudly listed all Johnson students, from Pearl
Harbor on, who were in the Armed Forces. The service flag was dedicated early
in January. It was presented by Tom Gosselin, on behalf of the Stamp Com-
mittee, and accepted by Mr. Hayes on behalf of the school. The flag, five by
eight feet, represented 130 pupils, one of whom had paid the supreme sacrifice.
Our shiny new rings now proudly encircled our fingers and we dared anyone
to say their school was better than good old Johnson High. The football team
was treated to a banquet by the Eclectic Club at the Grange Hall. Just after
this the chemistry classes had a few hairsingeing experiments.
24
THE GOBBLER - 1945 ,J OHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
We had just recovered from the excitement of the Prom, our first formal
dance, when we were released from school for two short months to prepare for
the coming responsibility of being seniors. This was it! The year we had been
waiting for! Our last year together, and it passed so quickly because of the
innumerable things we, as seniors, had to do.
Bill, Jack and Rainy were re-elected as usual, and then we gave the custom-
ary dance honoring the new freshmen. It was now that such revered phrases as,
"Joe Kemp" and "Huba Huba" were used to give that uniqueness to our
Turkey Town Talk. At this point I must caution the reader never, never to use
those two sacred phrases in such a manner as to mar their present meanings.
Around March picture proofs started changing hands and we busily prepared
the year book. The third week of the month found the pupils all dressed up in
their Sunday best because the group pictures were going to be taken. The
Physics class had one swell time with that shocking machine while Mr. Saunders
tottered on a high ladder trying to get them in focus. In this busy month we
also voted almost unanimously for a Prom.
In April "Girl Shy," a play, was proudly presented by our stage-minded
group, who were ably coached by Miss Donlan. The carefree happiness of this
April was shattered by the unexpected announcement of the death of our beloved
President Roosevelt. Our seniors now started leaving us for the armed forces.
Tom Crabtree, Ben Hollins, Ed Cunningham, Lloyd Bauchman, Dave Pickles
and Archie Cousins were among the first to leave us. Jack Sullivan and Arnold
Wilcox left us in May. Even with these losses we managed to prepare for grad-
uation.
With tear-filled eyes we waved goodby to Johnson, turned around and faced
the rapidly changing future with stern hearts and high ambitions.

CLASS PROPHECY
WAS just closing the store "Bill's Apothecary Shop" on the night of June
15, 1955, when in walked John Wood and George Tardiff, co-owners of the
Tardiff Wood Bobbin Shop. As it was late and business was dull, we got
talking and suddenly remembered that it was just ten years ago tonight that
we men graduated. The boys asked me if I knew where some of our old class-
mates were. Of course, I knew where all of them were, because I received all
the gossip in the store. I was about to begin my story when a big noise barged
in, and of course there was Stewart Wilson, the low pressure salesman. Stewart
was selling reversible roller skates for backward children. With his gift of gab,
if you want to call it a gift, he can sell anything. After things quieted down, I
started my story again. It went something like this.
LeRoy Gabriel Marland is a news commentator, advertising his own products
on the radio. He owns a concern which manufactures pool room accessories
and his new theme song is "One Cue Ball." Arnold Wilcox has taken over
25
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
Filetti's Pool Parlor, and has enlarged it'immensely. Clif Milne has acquired
"The North Andover Taxi," and has a reputation for splashing elderly ladies
on rainy days. Archie Cousins is running a dog farm and taking violin lessons
on the side. Tom Crabtree has taken over the chicken factory on Green Street.
Fred Messina has gone back to Italy to develop further improvements on his
various inventions. Fred always said that he could work best on his home
grounds. Horace Hebb, "The Flying Dutchman," is the champion wrestler of
Essex County, and is managing an acre and a half farm on the side. Clayton
Crotch and Ben Hollins are photographing artistic models in their studio. They
put Plouf out of business. Lloyd Bauchman and David Pickles are still in the
navy. They signed up for ten years by mistake. By the way, Lloyd got his
curls cut. Can you imagine that! Bill McEvoy is apprenticing under Mr. Lee
to become a baseball coach. Al Knuepfer is Faculty Manager at Johnson. Dave
Manahan is going to the University of Maine. Jackie Canty has a job in the
Puritan. He stood in front of it for so long they decided to give him a job there,
so he wouldn't be cold in winter. Carl Schofield and Eddie Bardsley have only
five minutes to go to finish their grand finale of their new musical masterpiece.
Roger Smith is now asking the questions on "Information Please." He answered
all the questions when he was on the board of experts, and the people asked that
he be removed because they weren't getting any new encyclopedias. Gene Bohn-
wagner is running the farm down on Innis Street. Henry Enaire is employed
up at the North Andover Airdrome, and Ed Cunningham is a pilot on one of the
big transports. Hazel Wood is a hostess on a transport. She is using her knowl-
edge of pre-flight to good advantage.
I just finished that last sentence when Stewart pulled sixteen pennies out of
his pocket and threw them into the air. John told him he shouldn't do that
because it bothers the people around him. As George was busily picking them
up, I continued my story.
Claire Doran runs a dress shop on Essex Street, and Bobbie Hutton models
her new dresses. Rita Malek is now a registered nurse. Lois Valpey teaches
Junior Social Science at Johnson, and Betty Morton teaches English there.
Betty has a very good reputation as a wonderful disciplinarian. Helen Turner
and Lorraine "Flo" Lewis are nurses at the children's hospital in Boston. Flo
is also happily married. Mary Werenchuk and Lil Balavich are modeling bath-
ing suits in New.York. In the off season they are secretaries for big business
men on Wall Street. Jeannette Rea is still down on the farm. She also poses for
Drene Shampoo Ads because of her beautiful blond hair. Shirley White is a
torch singer at the Latin Quarter. Dot McDowell is appearing in Earl Carrol's
Vanities of 1955 as a tap dancer. June Chamberlin is a hairdresser, and runs
the shop at the corner of First and Main Street. Mary Driscoll is a chemist in
a hospital in Boston. I remember how Miss Chapman always used to remark
how smart Mary was in Chemistry. Fay Vincent and Helen Calder are working
in Kresge's five and ten. Charlotte Lewis is still down on the farm—just a home
town girl! Betty Holdsworth is still residing at 219 Sutton Street. Ethel Raitt
is working in the Osgood, and Betty Riedel has an office job at Davis and Furber.
26
THE G O B BLE R - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
Rita Connors has a job in Hainsworth's Insurance Office. Pat Walsh is now
Pat Batts. Ruth Adams took over Mrs. Richards' job as Mr. Hayes' private
secretary. Bette Lewis is editing her own paper, "Bette's Bugle." John Pitman
is its business manager. Mary Rivet and Irene Costello are nurses at the Law-
rence General. Margaret Dill'is an actress on Broadway in New York. Shirley
Britton and Shirley Driscoll have taken over "The Den," and have changed its
name to "The Beauty Shop," a very appropriate name, I should say. Therese
Enaire is a waitress over at the Puritan. Shirley Bauchman is a stenographer
in Boston and so is Phyllis Brown. Anna Greenwood is a drum majorette in
the WAC band. Jackie McGuire is a pianist in the "All Girl Orchestra." That
takes in about all the class.
Certainly the class of 1945 has made an impression on the world, and a de-
pression on Johnson. However, the school has improved remarkably since we
left. The cafeteria, believe it or not, has very good ice cubes now! The gym
doesn't have to be abandoned every time it rains. Little improvements here
and there are constantly improving the school. .Our class has achieved colossal
prominence in this ever-busy post-war world.
Respectfully submitted,

CLASS WILL
Any resemblance to persons living or dead in this will to the coming Senior
Class is not accidental.
First of all, Jack Sullivan leaves his football captainship to Nickie Evangelos
and John Wilkinson. He also leaves his tactics with women, but you two are
A-1 already anyway.
Our thrill, thrill boy, Arnold Wilcox, leaves his poetry reading and love for
English to Bill Driscoll and everyone else who can read it as well as Arnold.
Our reckless, bubbling Senior Jumping Jack, Helen Turner, leaves her un-
ending vitality to Kay Roche.
Carl Schofield is leaving that adding machine he carries between his shoul-
ders to Warren Chadwick and Arthur Drummond. Can you use it, boys?
Pat Walsh wills her gracefulness and ability to hook a man to Martha
Glidden.
Roger Smith, nicknamed Encyclopedia Rog, leaves his outstanding ability
to learn to Carmelo Mangano and Warren Finn. But Roger still has plenty left.
Margaret Dill leaves her license and rules for driving "In Three Easy Les-
sons" to Elsie Miller. Margaret also leaves her car for practice, Elsie.
Eddie Bardsley's talent for composing music and extra talent for beating
the bass drum in the band is left to Gardner Cook. Howie Doherty will hold

THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
Therese Enaire leaves her towering height to Carol Berry, also her spike
heels.
Our ever-babbling "Put a Nickle In It" Stewart Wilson leaves his well-
polished tonsils to Eddie Pevine and Larry Walker. Lord knows, he has enough
gab for two.
"Journal" and "Gobbler" Editor, Bette Lewis, leaves her place of superior
standing to June Davis. Her accomplishments were many. Carry on, June.
Superman, but well-mannered gentleman and lover of Senior Social Science,
John Wood, leaves his S. S. S. notebook to Freddie White. Please handle it
gently.
Jane Loring leaves her adorable profile and her books on "How To Hold
One Man So Long" to Audrey Ferrin. But does Audrey need it???
Lloyd Bauchman leaves his large economy size bottle of hair slicker to Jerry
Kent. Scissors would do a neater job, so Vincent Ippolito can do the honors.
Anna Greenwood leaves her delightful "Mum--Ah's" while reciting to Jean
Gurdy. She does it in such a cute way, Jean.
Dave Pickles, Benny Hollins, Tom Crabtree and Phil Rugh leave all their
K. P. duties to you fellows entering the service, and believe me, they are plen-
tiful.
Ethel Raitt leaves her understanding of others' problems to Eleanor Finn.
Just call her Mrs. Anthony.
Henry Enaire leaves his Tarzan build to that girl-killer"Petit" Bill Gosselin.
(Can't you see Bill swinging through the trees in a leopard skin?)
One of our basketball stars, Irene Costello, leaves her talent for baffling
opposite players, and sometimes even the referee, with her quick moves, to
Gloria Bottai. With Irene's addition, Gloria will be a super-woman this coming
year.
Eugene Bohnwagner leaves his love for Senior Business Training and his
many books on "How to Get Out of Home Work in Ten Easy Lessons" to
Oscar Soucy and Bill Wilson. Or have you already learned this lesson, boys?
Good nature and friendliness are left by Mary Driscoll to June Ingram and
Shirley Kelly, but not her days she got put out of E. and M. Remember, Mary?
Betty Morton has decided not to will away any of her extra brains, but her
peaches and cream complexion goes to Blanche Turner. (Although Blanche has
both already.)
Our one and only Billy Finneran leaves his freckles and red hair, and Van
Johnson appeal with women, to Eddie Mooradkanian. Also his dreadful dull ties.
Fran Donnelly, voted our cutest girl, leaves her appealing smile to Rita
Mulcahey and Rita Nicetta. The fellows like it girls, at least Freddie does.
Dave Manahan leaves his book of "Etiquette," secured from his girl at the
library, to Eddie Hamel. But not the girl too, Eddie.
George Tardiff wills his'ability to tell correct time from "12 o'clock mid-
night" on, to Bob Smith and Phil Long, just so you boys can get home earlier
nights.
�g
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
Our "Tooth-Paste" ad girl, Shirley Driscoll, leaves her sparkling set of teeth
to Sally Kane. Smile, girlie, smile.
Freddie Messina leaves his ability to argue and sometimes win, to Donald
Kimel. Watch out for getting black eyes, Donald.
Our good citizenship girl, Rita Malek, doesn't mind parting with a little of
her capacity for hard work to Ethel Winning and Emily George, as she has
plenty to spare.
John Pitman wills to Donald Phair and Arthur Terret, his Mr. Anthony
effect on women. Remember Donald and Art, Stop—look—and then listen.
Mary Werenchuk leaves one of her closets of Hollywood styles to Arlene
Donnelly, and her charge account at Cherry's also.
Bill McEvoy has a special talent to leave to Francis Shottes, his outstanding
fickleness with women, but you are anyway aren't you, Francis?
Our ever-cute Jeannette Rea leaves her athletic ability and special cheer-
leading lungs, to Bev Howard. What a pair! Wow!
Everyone expects Roy Marland to leave his banana-like feature (guess what)
to a lucky someone, but Roy decided to leave his smooth, dreamy dancing to
Norman Campbell and Bob Skinner. Boys, you're considered competitors of
Astaire now.
Beautiful hunk of man, Clayton Crotch, leaves his "Vic Mature" body to
Al McKee and Clarence Spencer. He sure has plenty for two.
Rita Connors leaves her ever-lasting friendliness and just plain swell per-
sonality, to Shirley Pendlebury.
Our "Class Lady," Bobby Hutton, leaves her poise and gracefulness to
Flossie Sylvia. It's possible, Flossie.
Ruth Adams has no further use for her enticing but coy smile, and thus
leaves it to Margie Mitchell. Ruth did well; good luck to you, Margie.
Now that Johnson is losing its woman-killer and heart-breaker, Horace Hebb,
someone will have to take his place. You're elected, Billy Torrey. Nice
Mary Rivet leaves a few of her bothersome, but still adorable, freckles to
Kay Dutton. Oh, sorry Kay, you already have plenty.
Lois Valpey, teachers' delight, but still plain swell, leaves some of her knowl-
edge to Shirl Wentworth. Lois will use the rest to become one of our most suc-
cessful girls.
Clifton Milne leaves his quietness, but also that appealing smile, to Charlie
Walsh and Joe Rand; also his smooth lines.
Elizabeth Holdsworth parts with her ability to sew her own clothes like new
to Joan Pitman. If you're ever stuck, Joan, borrow Elizabeth's.
The Senior Class has great pleasure to add a little "rosiness" to the Junior
Class, by leaving Al Knuepfer's blushing to the curly-headed dream-boy Tom
Giaquinta. Can you see Tom blushing?
Claire Doran leaves her "Doran Strut," "Doran Originality" and "Doran
Charm" to Barbara Lambert.
Class WOLF John Canty, leaves his Essex Street ability to make girls plead
29
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
for dates, to none other than our Junior boy mashers, Arthur Carlson and the
Brightman brothers. Be careful of this talent boys; it's dynamite.
Lillian Balavich, our one and only "original" senior blond, leaves her life-
guard tactics to Alma Sanford. She certainly saved many fellows from loneliness.
Betty Riedel leaves her 120 award in shorthand, to Barbara Cochrane and
Ethel Shapcott. You can write notes much faster that way, girls.
Dot McDowell leaves her multiple interests to Rose Lawlor.
Hazel Wood, Miss Neal's senior type dream-girl, wills her type erasure to
Ruby Dill and Rita Coppola. Also Hazel's grief to leave type.
Attractive Fay Vincent leaves her twinkling eyes and giggle to Roberta
Savoy and Helena Saunders. Put them to good use, girls.
Miss Torpey's grief will be in losing hard-working and lady-like friendly
Phyllis Brown. The only one for such an honor is Pat Bredbury.
Those gorgeous eyes of blue, which belong to Helen Calder, are leaving their
gleam to entrance our Johnson men next year, to Nancy Kinports. But does
Nancy need them?
June Chamberlain's love for shorthand goes to Mabel Arlit, and also June's
charm.
That everlasting twosome, Shirl Bauchman and Charlotte Lewis, leave their
babble of whispers and enchanting secrets to that Junior couple, Claire War-
wick and Eleanor Marland.
Shirley Britton leaves her sweetness and kerchief to keep her fluffy, but
pretty, hair in place on rainy days, to Eleanor Gaudet and Margaret Holder.
It's so much easier to get a permanent, girls.
Faithful Jackie McGuire leaves her love of Johnson to Mary Ness. She
came all the way back from Cleveland to prove it.
Last, but far from least, Lorraine Lewis leaves her untiring "swell-ness" to
everyone, and her supply of sweaters to Velma Hinton.
Yours truly wishes only to leave an expression of sympathy to the writer of
next year's will, and a word of experience, "The truth always hurts, so why tell
it?"

BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM
THE GOBBLER - 1 9 4 5 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL
The Johnson eleven fought whole-heartedly all season, but ran into quite a
bit of bad luck. The memorable events were the trampling Methuen received
when Mr. Lee produced our "Secret Weapon," Mike Neketuk, and our victory
over Brooks. Though many of this year's members were inexperienced, they
now know the ropes, and next year's scores we feel will pay for their hard work.
Sweaters were awarded to the following senior members of the team: J. Canty,
T. Crabtree, C. Crotch, W. McEvoy, J. Sullivan (capt.), C. Schofield, A. Wilcox,
and S. Wilson. All other members of the squad will report back next fall.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL
The girls' basketball team showed a great deal of cooperation and spirit this
year. Although we lost most of the games, good sportsmanship was shown all
around, with the second team beating Howe. High scorers were Bev. Howard
and J. Rea, with Irene Costello doing excellent work in both guard and forward
position. The team was coached by Miss Oril Hunt, and managed by Shirley
White and Rita Connors. Letters were awarded to I. Costello, J. Rea, Bev.
Howard, H. Wood, L. Balavich, G. Bottai, J. Gilman, M. Rivet, D. Blanchette,
R. Connors (mgr.), and Shirley White (mgr.).
BOYS' BASKETBALL
The boys' basketball team, though unlucky, showed a fighting spirit all
season. Capt. Crotch played outstandingly well. Al. Knuepfer, manager of
football and basketball, was of great assistance to Mr. Lee, as well as to the
team. Sweaters were awarded to: C. Crotch, B. McEvoy, and Al. Knuepfer.
VOLLEY BALL
This year for the first time volley ball was introduced to the girls of this
school. The team is under the direction of Miss Oril Hunt, and is making fine
progress. The members of the team are as follows: J. Rea, M. Werenchuk, L.
Valpey, P. Giard, A. Donnelly, I. Nocera, N. Fichera, J. Gucciardi, L. Gucciardi,
E. Champion, B. Venner, and A. Horne.
BASEBALL
When the baseball candidates were called out this season, a total of 32 boys
reported, nine of whom were awarded letters last year. This year, sweaters will
be given to Crotch, McEvoy, Milne, Al. Knuepfer (mgr.). The remaining under-
classmen will be on the squad again next year.
