Class Song
To tune adapted from Browne Greston-Cole
Farewell dear Johnson,
Time has come to part,
As from these halls we go
Sadness fills our hearts
To all the friends we've made
And our teachers true,
May we bring honor
In everything we do.
Farewell dear Johnson,
Raise her banner high
Proudly we'll stand by You,
As the years go by.
Memories ,Fill linger oil
Memories will not (lie,
To thec vve sill" Lily praise,
Farceell .lohnsou High.

Message to the Seniors
Class of 1952:
About this time of year I am always asked to leave a brief inessage with the
graduation class. There are so many things which might be said that it frequently is
zD
difficult to know exactly what to offer.
Shortly you will receive your high school diplomas and in the comparatively
near future you will arrive at the age where you will be entitled to exercise the greatest
political privilege of a free people — the privilege of selecting, by ballot, those who will
make and enforce the laws under which you are to live.
It is quite possible that some of you fail to appreciate the political freedom
of your country as represented in your right to vote. This is true because in this country
citizens have always possessed this right.
However, the privilege and the freedom which goes swith it could be lost.
Peoples in inany countries have, within your memories, lost their franchise. It is not
always lost through revolution. It can be lost by electing to office the wrong kind of inen.
It could be lost if a sufficient number of people failed to exercise their privilege of voting.
I will leave Nvith you then, this advice. When you reach the age at which you
may vote, never fail to exercise this privilege. Give careful thought to your selections.
Be guided in your choice by the demonstrated ability, honesty and courage of those
for whom you vote. If you and other young people observe these simple rules, the freedom
which you have always known will continue to be yours. Failing in such observance,
your freedom could be lost.

AN OPTIMISTIC A-IIERICA
Here we find ourselves, in the year 1952, confronted on all hands with
evidences of scandal, corruption and Communism. Our very government itself has not
escaped the vicious taint of these evils.

Mink Coat and other such scandals, and the vile political graft which day in and day
out serves as the theme for so many newspaper headlines, who can deny that we are in
great need of reform?
But, although we have not come Here to delude you into the misconception
that the outlook is "rosy", so to speak, neither would we have you believe that our
country has fallen so deeply into the iniry bog of national decay that all trace of virtue
has been eaten out of its soul.
We can and must review, analyze and appreciate the honorable characteristics
of our America if we would eradicate the undesirable traits. Wiry? Simply because no
human being can constantly face only the ominous issue without becoming pessimistic
or corrupt himself.
What is there then to give us confidence? Why, the very essentials which
went into the molding of this great country. The founders of our nation held a firm belief
in their principles. They believed in liberty, justice, the natural and unalienable rights
of the common man. They' believed in themselves. But. perhaps most important was
another belief: belief or faith in an omnipotent God.
Yet what avail is a belief, no matter how staunch, if there is no initiative,
no leadership, no will to practice the belief in the sweat of honest labor? In the history of
the United States we discover an abundance of these characteristics. Washington, who
led the continental army to victory over the British regulars; Lincoln, pushing his way
through the Civil War, pulling the nation behind him; Theodore Roosevelt, carrying his
big stick — all exemplify the aforementioned attributes.
There is a third feature essential to survival — fortitude. It took guts, to
use the language of the boys, for the industrious pioneers to follow their convictions
and, guided by them, to construct our great Republic. In this word "pioneers" we would
include every visionary man and woman from Columbus to the scientists of today.
We won't even mention the bravery of the American armed forces in war after war, over
the past few centuries or the pluck of thousands of heroic civilians giving freely of their
time and talents to better our homeland which not only permits but encourages its
citizens to think and express themselves openly.
Tell rne, friends, concerning these three qualities which were so outstanding
in previous years in this country, have they become old-fashioned, passe? Are we, as a
people, now barren of these desirous traits? The answer is an obvious and emphatic no!
When we see the cases of people like Arnold Schuster (God rest him) who
dared to do his duty as a citizen even though he must have been aware of the danger
imminent to himself, how can we fail to recognize the presence of such moral excellences
as we have been considering?
Another evidence of these qualities is the story of the Los Angeles school
teacher who campaigned for better conditions for her pupils. She believed in herincentive,
she worked unceasingly toward her goal, and she had the courage to carry ou her purpose
even after she lost her job in the fight.
Then we cannot omit the example of the Korean Conflict, an all too coirstaut
reminder of these American characteristics which too inany men are dying to prove.
There are numerous national virtues which should serve to give us individual
confidence. Three of these we have dealt with directly. These, in turn, naturally lead
us on to others. In the last analysis, of course, our optimism must lie in Faith, Hope and
Charity. Let us live confidently in an optimistic America.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TEEN-AGERS
Are 'teen-agers going to the everlasting bow-wows? Every generation entering
middle age has trumpeted this fact over a shivering. world. Yet when the middle-aged
group of today was itself the teen-alters, were not they too the subject of the jeremiads
pronounced by their middle-aged groups? And so it goes. But the teen-agers of twenty
years ago are now the -olid, respectable, respected and beloved parents of the teen-age
group here on *,he stage before you tonight. We think those teen-agers of long ago are
about the best ,►eop'.e we'll ever know. Dare we hope the same will be said twenty years
hence about us a
Here are reasons for believing so. Teen-agers are painfully aware of their
bad reputation. In a survey in a large midwestern city, teen-agers listed the charges most
frequently made against them. The three most often mentioned were crime, narcotics
and reckless diving.
Juvenile delinquency, today, is a catch phrase used to cover a multitude of
acts never before classified as sins. Even the word delinquency depends on where you
live. In some cities, young people caught smoking on the public streets can be arrested
as delinquents. In a western town, police were sent to round up all teen-age bootblacks
and book them as delinquents. At the same time, in a town fifty miles away, the mayor
was honoring teen-age bootblacks for their independence and industry. He gave a turkey
dinner for these youngsters and referred to their as "today's Horatio Algers."
As far as actual arrests are concerned, people call for the police a lot quicker
than they used to. Consider some recent "crimes" for which teen-agers were arrested.
In Fresno, California, four boys removed the caps from pop bottles still in the vending
machine and drank the contents through long straws. In Seattle, Washington, three
boys tossed paper bags of water from a second-story window. In Atlantic City, Ne-,N-
Jersey, two teen-age school girls daubed a poodle belonging to a cranky next-door neighbor
with red paint. A generation ago such problems would have been solved in a woodshed.
But even after the misleading case is discounted, the fact remains that real
juvenile delinquency is on the rise. Inadequate schools, insufficient government facilities
and apatl-etic communities must share the blame.
The most important cause of delinquency is what should be called parental
delinquency. The American home has frequently ceased to exert its influence for the good.
Some recent statistics on teen-agers reveal that only twelve out of a thousand
get in trouble with the law and that means that there are 988 who are doing well.
What is the real story on you-thful drug addiction? The American parent
has been deceived into believing that there are millions of teen-age drug addicts walking
the streets. Actually there are only 10,000 teen-age addicts in the whole country;
horrible enough, but not as hopelessly a black picture as has been generally painted.
Dope is not an insidious, seductive temptation liable to engulf anybody.
The parents of the reasonably happy, normal, adjusted child can relax.
Teen-age accidents behind the wheel have been cruelly publicized by news-
papers acid magazines. Teen-agers do not have nibre accidents than more experienced
drivers but, when they do have a misliap, it is usually fatal. Because this ugly co►tditiott
occurs, reporters swarm to cover the story, thereby pointing a treacherous and accusing
finger of guilt at teen-agers.
The teen-agers have responded wholeheartedly to the move for Drive!' edu-
cation offered by their elders. Today only highly trained paraplegic drivers and equally
well-trained commercial truck drivers surpass the teen-agers' safety record. It was not
long ago that drivers under the age of twenty were at the very foot of the safety record.
Tlie�- are no\\, in third place, proving that given the proper iListruction, teen-agers equal
and excel in ability many of the middle-aged automobile drivers.
The teens are a period of physical and emotional adjustment. Even young
people who are clearly headed for a very mature and stable adulthood sometimes pass
l hrough periods of wild, irresponsible, distressing activity. Although the storm and stress
period may cause an awful uproar at the time, it apparently has little effect on the final
result. The adult should play an important role in channeling youthful energy so that
oung people can let off steam in a manner that will do no Harm to themselves or others.
Youth is not "gettim, gorse and worse" with each succeeding generation.
'Peen-agers do not live in a world of their own but in the world which everyone shares
vv,ith them. Juvenile delinquency very clearly goes up and down with the changing ther-
mometer of group and international tensions, with public calm and turmoil.
Teen-agers are willing and anxious to work on their own problems, to clear
their record. Society has never been better equipped to help them.
Youth's performance falls short of its ideals, but teen-agers know right from
wrong and they do -not have cynical, selfish moral standards. A generation ago young
people were worried almost exclusively about getting a job and getting ahead. Now they
are much more concerned about international amity and the application of democratic
principles to practical living. They are more interested in the square deal than the big
deal.
Hence, youth's prospects are encouraging and this country has reason to
feel optimistic about its rising generation. Joyce Hamilton

THE OPEN DOORS
It was a lovely summer day with tiny, white puffs of clouds floating lazily
across the blue sky when I closed the book I had just finished reading. Having enjoyed
the book, I considered how much I might have missed if, swayed by the general prejudice
against a classic author, I had passed by this book. Then, as in a dream, I seemed to be
surrounded by a multitude of open doors bearing such labels as art, literature, music,
science and many others which I realized I had overlooked many times. I wondered,
almost simultaneously, how many others were also missing the countless opportunities
offered by these open doors. �
First, I considered literature and its numerous rewards. Most obvious, of
course, is the deep, abiding pleasure one experiences as the imagination soars to un-
dreamed of heights. However, beneath the surface lie such hidden treasures as a fuller
understanding of human nature and a real sympathy for one's fellow men.
Then a few strains of a lovely melody drifted into my reverie and I felt the
immediate release from my everyday world into a completely new land of incredible
beauty. Suddenly, the knowledge of something beyond the material sent hope surging
t brought my heart.
Then, as the last measures faded in the distance, I seemed to discover an
exhibition of pictures, all the masterpieces of the ages. Somehow I knew that with better
understanding would come the Ivey which unlocks the doors of the past and may well
fit those of the future.
Finally, through the last door, 1 noticed a microscope and, peering into it,
veils of mystery suddenly slipped away and knowledge stood out in all its glory, emitting
a gloH- which brightened even the darkest corners.
Later, considering this imaginative journey, 1 sincerely hoped that others
aright follow in my footsteps, to discover the endless vistas and opportunities for service
to mankind which lie just beyond these open doors. Diana Keach

UNFATHOMABLE SCIENCE
How far are the creative and imaginative powers of man going to extend?
Is there ever going to be an end to his discoveries and inventions? Man has been en-
dowed with intellectual powers that have made him the master of nature and its incredible
storehouse of energy. He is surrounded by facilities which encourage him to exercise
his intellect. The earth is his well-equipped research laboratory. Every nook and
cranny of it is overflowing with unknowns, teasing and luring him in to exploration.
Daily, these dimly perceived, half-sensed areas are yielding their powers and secrets to
the probing scientists, those modern magicians who are discovering the miraculous powers
in nature and who are unearthing the mysteries that this old world has contained for so
long. Will they someday exhaust nature's reservoir of wonders? Already man has
advanced scientifically to unbelievable heights. There appears to be no limit to the peaks
lie can reach.
In the vast sea of science time is just a gentle ripple, composing an ever-
changing tide, which washes ceaselessly on every shore. The Victorians felt the measured
impact of the shifting tides as their shores were littered with accumulated knowledge.
The Victorians, by use of this knowledge in their smug, small, secure, universe, imagined
themselves to have reached the ultimate in modern existence and inventions. They
proudly boasted gas lighting in the homes and streets. Their newly improved roads in-
sured fast communication, their elaborate horse-drawn vehicles provided transportation,
and the many plushly elegant theatres offered entertainment.
The tide did not cease to ebb as they anticipated, but continued its endless
journey. We, as others before us, are feeling the force of this mounting turbulent sea.
Our speed is dominated by jet propulsion, atomic and hydrogen energy are setting the
pace for our power, rapid communication is via the wireless, our entertainment is brought
to us through the mediums of moving pictures and television, and newly proposed space
bases are to be placed outside the earth's atmosphere to enable man by the use of tele-
scopes and other powerful lenses to inspect the daily actions of all the peoples in the world,
thus erasing the iron curtain and every material barrier. These bases may be the in-
strument to promote world peace.
The pace of recent scientific advancements is frightening. Man has surged
forward materialistically and allowed social and spiritual fields to remain inert. He is
like a child receiving a new toy, not knowing exactly what to do with it — a toy, which
in his inexperienced- hands can be both creative and destructive.
This well may be the time for mankind to make a change of emphasis. From
the Renaissance until now, man has concentrated on material development. From now
on, in the face of our present frightening evolutions, perhaps man had best de-emphasize
the physical and material in order to use his almost fabulous creative and imaginative
powers to explore and develop other than his material resources. Just as the physical
horizons receded before his ingenious attacks, so can the moral, political, and spiritual
horizons lift and broaden.
Who knows what new Edison, Einstein, Steinmetz, Whitehead, or Roentgen
the immediate future is preparing to usher onto the stage of the world? The battle for
man's physical control has been largely iron through the brilliance of such men. Now the
world, in breathless hope and anxiety, waits for the social, moral, and spiritual geniuses
who will come one day to teach mankind how to use the great powers he noNN, has for
the coininon good of humanity.

Class Oration
"WE SHALL FIND A PATH OR MAKE ONE"
''We shall find a path or make one" is an extremely apt motto that we, the
graduating class of 1952, have chosen. It is our goal to make this world a little better
for our having been in it, by each doing his share to achieve peace and justice. If this
seems like a grandiose ambition for high school graduates, let each recall that society,
both nationally and internationally, is a social organism. The wholesome activity of
each part contributes to the health of the whole. Each grain of sand plays its part to
make the beautiful coastline of New England and similarly each tiny tissue that the
blood stream nourishes contributes to the healthy, virile body. Likewise, each of us can
make his tiny, but essential contribution to the welfare of the national and international
societies which make the world.
Many are the paths which have been beaten out for us. What trail blazers,
through the savage undergrowth of selfishness, greed, stupidity, brutality, and disunity,
were such greats as Washington, Jackson and Lincoln!
George Washington, to whom our nation turned first for leadership, and who
is admired today by everyone, young and old, was exceedingly instrumental in aiding the
American people to realize their dream of a free, democratic country. At all times during
the Revolutionary War, he was fated to lead an army that was ill-fed, scantily-clothed
and lacking ammunition. It was only through his ingenious military strategy, equalled
only by Caesar, that he mastered these overwhelming forces and won the war. Yet not
once during that bitter fighting did Washington lose sight of its purpose — the improve-
ment of the life of the people, their liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone. I Another outstanding example in American history is Andrew Jackson, a
courageous frontier lawyer from Tennessee, who devoted his life to making the Federal
government serve the cominon man. It was his firm belief that any honest man could
hold a public office acceptably. This expension of political ideas to include the common
mail indicates the fast-growing feeling of democracy, and the gradual turning away from
the aristocratic ideas of the mother country.
Another great pioneer was Lincoln. We are indebted to him for his tireless
efforts to preserve and pacify our country so that it might become the united,nation it
is today. He did not achieve this extremely difficult task by the subtle art of politics
and intrigue, nor by resorting to ruthlessness and inhumanity. This goal was accom-
plished by his rigid ideals, firmness of purpose, and qualities of humanity. To this great
mail we owe gratitude for the lesson lie taught, — that the combination of understanding,
kindness and humanity with leadership constitutes a true greatness in statecraft.
Even in our present day, prominent trail blazers such as MacArthur, our
E.C.A. administrators and innumerable unknown heroes iii and out of uniform, are
facing the same seemingly insurmountable odds that our past leaders struggled with.
They are attempting to spread the exact ideas of democracy to the other countries of the
world, trying to show these nations the benefits of a people's government compared with
a Facist, Nazi or Communistic regime. World Wars I and II were waged because of this,
and it is also the primary reason for the ominous threat of a third cbsniic eruption.
To make newer and broader paths now will be the work of our generation.
We cannot and we must not, like lost wanderers, be without an objective. We must
realize the uselessness of sulking cynicism and petulant disillusion. The world crisis
we face affords us neither the time nor inclination to strike poses, to lick our wounds, or
to weep great salty tears of self-pity. For us a more virile and American task is at hand.
The patient courage of a Washingtou, Jackson's abiding faith in the worth and ability
of the commoii mail, the clear-eyed and all-embracing christiaii charity of a Lincoln all these are the frail marks which point for us the way to go. And as Nve push down these
glorious paths we shall push ou into hewer realms of newer problems. But from the paths
we have followed we shall know how to marl. out the new paths needed. N-Ve have found
the path. It is now our task to advance it and make the uew one.

As we, the Class of 1952, look back on the happy years spent at Johnson, we
remember the eventful day when first we entered the doors of Stevens Hall. After a
brief talk by Mr. Hayes, we proceeded to our first class and the "settling-down" period.
Our first act of responsibility was the election of class officers. George
Knightly was chosen president; Robert Thomson, vice-president; and Patricia Scarry,
secretary-treasurer.
Two new girl students were added to the class that year, namely, Peg Green-
field and Lorraine Sabin. They certainly added some animation and gaiety to the class.
For the first time, the sponsor system was introduced to Johnson. The
purpose of this plan was to help the freshmen adjust themselves to high school life. We
all had an older appointed "brother" or "sister" who helped us with any problems we
had.
Myra Stilwell, of Stevens' Library, showed the entire student body a motion
picture entitled, "How to Act at the Junior Prom." Being novices and curious about this
subject, it served to prepare us for coming years.
Having survived the many trials and tribulations of being a freshman, we
entered our sophomore year, after a very relaxing summer vacation. Being a little older
and wiser, we began to take a more active part in school activities.
George Knightly was elected class president for the next three years, a position
which lie very capably filled. "Bob" Thomson was re-elected vice-president, and Marian
Bamford became our new secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Thomson, a new member of the faculty, took over Miss Callanan's
position, teaching us the proper use of English.
The National Honor Society was introduced to Johnson that year, and the
students with high scholastic standings became members and were presented with pins.
In March we had a very interesting assembly, conducted by Mr. Robert
Hastings of General Motors, entitled "Previews of Progress." One of the most interesting
experiments, the cooking of an egg on a "cold stove — guaranteed not to get hot,"
amazed the entire student body.
December 22, the annual Christmas assembly was held in the hall. Mr.
Mosher led the assembly in singing Christmas carols. The Dramatic Club presented a
play and some of the best actresses of the sophomore class took part.
The seventh of September, in the late summer of nineteen hundred and fifty,
marked the closing day of our enjoyable vacation. We, in imagination, left our memo-
{ 22 }
H I S T O R Y
able times and fun behind and returned to Jolinsou where, as upper-classmeti, we resumed
our studies. Our newly elected officers, George Schofield, vice-president and Arlene
George, secretary-treasurer, proved both efficient and popular.
We were most happy to welcome Helen Clarke as a lovely addition to our
class. There was a great deal of excitement when it came time to select the class ring.
At a class meeting we reached a decision on what style of ring we wished to have.
The annual school play was a huge success and a great financial aid to our
class. Junior students participating in this school affair used terrific personal effort to
further the extensive sale of tickets, thus increasing our class treasury tremendously.
June eighth was the greatest event of the year for the students who attended
the Junior-Seuior Prom. A group of six pupils were elected to represent the junior class
on the Prom Committee. This committee did a fine job in making this event very suc-
cessful.
Again taking up our studies in nineteen hundred and fifty-one, we began our
last trek down the Iong road of our High school education. We were indeed proud to be
seniors, yet we felt deeply regretful that the days of our high school life were running
out. The onlynew officer elected in our senior year was Joyce Hamilton our secretary-
treasurer. Y Y � Y
treasurer. We gained a new classmate when Helen Langlois became a member of our
class.
The suns of one hundred and twenty-five dollars was added to the class
treasury due to the active work of our senior girls in sponsoring a successful "Dogpatch
Hop" which drew young people from the surrounding communities.
This year was the beginning of a driver training course at Johnson. The
school procured a 1952 Dodge from the T. J. Robinson Co., which was used for driving
instruction.
There was a great deal to be done by everyone in the latter part of our senior
year. Students were procuring pictures for the yearbook and giving portraits to their
classmates. Members of various committees worked co-operatively to make all of our
social events remunerative and highly enjoyable to all who participated.
The time has now arrived to bid farewell to Johnson. At this time especially
we all should keep in our minds this very important advice "We shall find a path or
snake one."
Respectfully,
Chris and Dan

It was the year 1972 as we boarded our atom-propelled, transcontinental
D-D 52 (Donald DeAdder) airplane for Johnsonia. The plane was piloted by Gioia
Giribaldi. The delicious food was prepared by the Langlois Food Corporation and it
was served by stewardesscs Irene Holdsworth and Mary Hamel. Johnsonia, a new nation,
discovered in 1953 by two intrepid young explorers, Milton Long and Edmund Finn,
was named in honor of their alma neater. We were going to Johnsonia to visit our friends
in this new country. This country's rapid growth was due in great part to Admiral
K nightly's great naval fleet.
As we landed, we were welcomed to Johnsonia by Ambassador Joyce Hamil-
ton who was now the head of the American Embassy. She took us to the luxurious
Sjostrom and Sjostrom hotel. She told us of the wonders of the scientific experiments
conducted by Betty Duncan and Diana Keach who had recently developed fire-proof
bathing suits for water ballet dancers. Naturally, she was curious about some of the other
graduates of the great class of "52". Bob Thomson, we said, a psychiatrist, was very
busy these days in the United States treating the frustrated personalities which resulted
trying to find out which twin has the "Toni".
She was very happy to hear that after twenty years of fervent search, William
Enaire and Dick "Tracy" Waddington were the heroic G-men who split the Brinks'
case wide open.
Herbert Wood and Jack Haigh are now the head artists for Esquire. Their
favorite models are Pat Smith, Barbara Saul, and Dot Love. You never saw men more
devoted to their work.
Joanne McAloon achieved her life long ambition — marrying a millionaire.
The millionaire is none other than the famed author David Janusz. His latest book is
"How to Win Friends and Irritate Teachers."
That evening, a bit tired from the trip, we relaxed with television, watching
"Fay Belanger's Comedy Hour." Fay was funnier than ever. Hei• guests for the evening
were the zany comic team of "McLaughlin and Forgetta." While Joe was singing
"Way Marie", Danny was jumping up and down screaming "I li - ike it! I li-ike it!"
The next morning, at breakfast, we read in Dutchie Ferrigno's society column
the following:
"Delighted to hear millionairess Mary Valcourt's horse "Canterwell" won
the Kentucky Derby in the United States."
Doug Alexander, wealthy playboy owner of the "Flanagan and Alexander
Dancing Schools", is spending most of his time lately on the Riviera.
After breakfast we decided to visit the Johnson High School of Johnsonia.
The headmaster, John Belyea, ruled the school with an iron hand, for if there was one
thing he couldn't tolerate it was breaking rules. Claire Chamberlin vvas his private
secretary.
Helen Clarke thoroughly enjoyed her job as head of the Latin department.
Joe CushiIlg, who was now teaching Social Studies, had a favorite motto
which was "Tire facts, the wholc facts, and nothing but the facts, so help me, Finneran!"
We mct a large domineering-looking woman, and if it weren't for the twinkle
in those blue eyes, we never would have recognized Betty Corcoran. Betty was now the
physical education teachcr of Johnson. She reminisced with us about her younger days.
She had becn chosen to represent Johnsonia for discus throwing in the Olympic Gaines,
together with skier Walter Crabtree, who now owned a ski lodge in the Swiss Alps, and
swimmer IVIary Long. They had coppcd nearly all the titles in their respective fields!
P R O P H E C Y
Evelyn Stone, because of her quiet and reserved manner, was selected to
chaperone the group.
Betty asked us if Nve'd like to go to "MacCannell's Spaghetti House" for
lunch with her.
As we drove by a large estate, Betty explained to us that it was owned by
George and Marion (Bamford) Schofield. George relaxes at home while royalties come
pouring in from the "Cole Milk Corp." for their quintuplet sons. George is thrilled to
have a personal basketball team.
While relishing Jimmy's delicious ineat balls, Betty informed us of the suc-
cessful modeling agency run by Peg Greenfield and Eleanor Green.
Marjorie Midgley is now editor of a pocket size edition of "Life" called
"Midget Magazine."
Dick Brown is known as the friendly undertaker.
Betty suggested we rent a car from the Freeman Automobile Corporation of
Johnsonia and visit the beach. We followed her suggestion and went to the Freeman
firm. It was a large concern. Forry Smith was Dana's chief mechanic. Dot Detora was
his receptionist and Jane Morse was his bookkeeper. No sooner had we gone fifteen
miles when we got a flat tire! After we had tramped some two miles we saw an arrow
which said "Kane and Sheehy Garage 1 mile ahead." One mile later and a trifle di-
sheveled we reached the garage.
When the car was fixed and we were on our way again, we tuned in on the
radio to hear the familiar and cheery voice of Amy Wilton giving directions for her receipe
of "Northern Fried Southern Style Chicken."
Amy's program was followed by "The Jimmy Meikle Family Hour with All
the Little Meikles."
At the beach we ordered a super-deluxe ice cream sundae at Doherty's ice
cream parlor.
While basking in the warm sun, we met Jane Doran with her four energetic
sons. Just the person we wanted to meet to gather all the news about our classmates!
Marilyn Zemba is now married-to the ambassador from Russia.
Marjorie Blodgett and Mary Walsh are running a nursery school for back-
ward debutantes. Lorraine Sabin is the nursery nurse.
Chris Kane and Joan Kilton run a dude ranch where they specialize in breed-
ing bow-legged horses for ding-toed cowboys.
Virginia Verda is now a dress designer for the natives in.the South Seas.
Joan Stoessel and Eunice Wilcox have just put on the market, striped dinner
jackets for the aristocratic imnates at Alcatraz.
We told Jane about the sensation Maureen Hogan and Bobbie McCoy were
making in Miami Beach. Maureen is a sepulchral torch singer while Bobbie accompanies
her with musical spoons.
Civic-minded Laura Lieciardello, in order to clean up the city, has a large
chain of launderniats.
Jane told us of the sensation Carolyn Dushame was making on Narrowlane,
otherwise known in New York as Broadway, in "North Atlantic."
After a few more days of vacationing in Johnsonia, we returned to the United
States in a luxury liner owned by 1..lorence Towne. Ever since her high school days,
Florence has had a strong attraction for the sea.
Respectfully,
Arlene and Jim

CHEERLEADERS
We would like to salute the cheerleaders for their wonderful spirit
and the effort they expended to make each football game a colorful one. They
really backed up the fellows on the team.
Marion Bamford and Carolyn Dushame did a splendid job as
head cheerleaders. The other cheerleaders were Christina Dane, Mary Long,
Dorothy Love, Barbara Saul, Patricia Smith, Betty Corcoran, Claire
Arsenault, and Patricia Driscoll.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM
This year our Girls' Basketball Team did very well iii its games,
although our team was not a member of the League.
Betty Corcoran, captain, and Joanne Greene were high scorers
for the team.
The team was coached by Mrs. Gertrude Bateman.

FOOTBALL
As had been the case in past years,
the 1951 football team of Johnson
was greatly hampered with injuries _
with Co-Captain George knightly
being on the sidelines for half of the
season. The loss of quarterback {(
Alexander was also heavily felt, but. .
the Johnson club played hard, rough,
clean football under the inspiration
d
of all-scholastic Co-Captain J ace: -� "`" '`��• � ^ "�'�- ..�
Shottes. s
The team ended up the season on r
Thanksgiving Day with a much-
needed victory over Punchard High
School of 14-12. The winning touch-
dowel was scored with less than a
minute left to play.
The final record for the team, which
the class of '52 is proud of, Nvas five e
wins and four losses.

BASKETBALL13
.
The 1952 basketball team of John- 1 14
soil was under the leadership of
Captain George Schofield. The team T.
,was loaded with potential scorers, ;
as was shown many times during the _
season. The club lost many heart- :3
breaking Baines by slight margins. �
The class of '52 salutes the team
for giving ivi a fine display f orts- �
