Durfee High School - Durfee Record Yearbook (Fall River, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 122 of the 1947 volume:

State Interscholastic Champions In years to come one of the happiest memories of our high school days will be the outstanding record of the 1946 - 1947 basketball team —the team that brushed aside all Bristol County competition, swept through the Eastern Massachusetts Interscholastic Tournament, and captured the State title while fighting its way into the final of the New England Tournament at Boston Garden, Colorful and courageous, the group that wore Durfee’s colors on the court gained glory for their city as well as for their school, and their success was acknowledged by a grateful citizenry in many sub- stantial ways. We shall remember them as a typical Urban team—well trained, eager to win, aggressive but not unsportsmanlike. FAtt mj Alumm Field, Thanksgiving 1946 PRINCIPAL CHARLES Y. CARROLL The “sound mind in a sound body” principle, or the importance of placing proper emphasis on the physical as well as the mental develop- ment of students, has long been recognized. To Principal Charles V. Carroll, as one of its most ardent advocates, the Class of 1947 pays tribute. We have seen the addition of thousands of seats and the installa- tion of floodlights for night football games at Alumni Field; plans for further improvements and an ever larger seating capacity will soon be carried out. Largely to our principal’s interest in athletics and his administra- tive ability is due the development of Alumni Field into a first class high school stadium. War interrupted the high school careers of many young Ameri- cans. With the cessation of hostilities and consequent separation from the Armed Forces came their opportunity to resume their studies. The Class of 1947 is proud to have in its membership the following Veterans of World War II: U. S. NAVY Arm and L. Amiot Andrew A. Augustine Joseph Kenneth Beaulieu Norman Edward Bolger Christopher Borden Russell A. Brogan Jerome Merrill Brush John Patrick Burns Norman R. Caron Antonio Castro Algoma B.

Pr e s ident Vic c -Pr esid en t SALLY CUTTLER CARL TRIPP Secretary NORMA REGIS It was an active Student Council with a progressive president which took office in September and made its presence felt throughout the year. Under its auspices occured such memorable events as the rally before the New Bedford football game with the parade, the bonfire, and the outdoor football assembly, which was broadcast over the air from the midst of a throng of 5,000 fans. During the year, various Council-sponsored assemblies were held, beginning with the Clubs Assembly in September and including the Awards Assembly and the Slonimsky concert. Among the evening events were the Pigskin Hop, the Mid-Winter Hop, the Acquaintance Dance, formerly the Sophomore Matinee, and for the first time, the Junior Prom. The Students Activities Association fulfilled their business com- mitments by attending several conventions, the Southeastern Branch meetings in Plymouth and Rockland and the State Convention in Wellesley. Among the brightest occasions of the year were the two banquets: the gala football banquet in December in the school cafeteria and the Officer's Banquet in April at the Women’s Union. Faculty advisors are Miss Mary Lee, Mr. James F. Conlin and Miss Anne O’Neil. 78 Left to right—R, Marois, R. MacAyeal Home Room Directors The Home Room Directors group is the largest organization in the school. It is, perhaps, most typical of our school because one boy and one girl are chosen from each home room to act as directors. These students are typical of the average Durfee pupil who is eligible to hold this type of office. Their duties are many and varied. They consist of such tasks as taking the morning attendance and reading the daily notices, conduct- ing drives for the Red Cross, anti-tuberculosis society, infantile paralysis campaign, and selling tickets for various events. This year the new banking system was introduced in which the directors act as tellers. The ’46-’47 Home Room Directors have appreciated the leadership of Rene Marois and Robert MacAyeal, 79 The Durfee Camera Club President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer ROGER A. SMITH LOIS E. IBBOTSON JOAN L. SIECZKOWSKI MILDRED T. IIIJRST Faculty Advisor—JOSEPH J. LAWLOR The Durfee Camera Club, as an extra-curricular activity, has en- gaged in interesting and educational projects during the past year. The members have listened to professional speakers, engaged in picture-taking contests and enjoyed several social events. The officers feel duly repaid by the effort and cooperation of the members and pleased with the results accomplished. so Left to right—C. Audet, E. McGowan, M. Ilui'st, M, Belfort! Commercial Club President MICHAEL BELFORD Vice-President CONSTANCE AUDET Secretary EDYTHE McGOWAN Treasurer MILDRED HURST Faculty Advisor MR. GEORGE C. HOAR The Commercial Club is one of the largest clubs at Durfee. During the past year we have had many business and social meetings, at which members of the business profession outlined what they expect of commercial students when they enter the business field. Early in the year the club sponsored a get-acquainted party which took place at Christmas time. The Valentine Dance was successful in providing funds for the outing to be held in June. Due to the cooperation of club members, the conscientious work of the officers and the untiring efforts of our club advisor, Mr. George C, Hoar, the club passed a very successful year. 81 Officers, left to right, front row—S.

Dramatic Club May it please your grace and gentle folk, all whom it may concern: herein appeareth a declared account of a journal! of a voyage, with God’s assistance of ye Pirate Shippe Durfee Dramatic Club, anno 1946- 1947, Robert Harris, commander. Whereas we are informed divers interludes befell, presenting an excess of pleasure to many witnesses. All Hallowed Eve, our band made merry with sport and dance. Next, four plays from ye pen of yeomen returned from ye wars played by ye troupe of Thespians one night at eight of ye clock—hence called, namely, T. N. T., Theatre of National Thespians. Came Yuletide, which was livened by a Christmas pantomine, “Ye Toy Shoppe”, which delighted wee scholars from grade school. There were St. Nicholas and divers dolls which might be well perceived to sing and dance, which did make glad all hands. On the twenty-sixth day of February in the year of our Lord 1947, befell a meeting on said ship—Durfee Dramatic Club. One Captain Applejack caused to be hove overboard the mutineering first mate—so pirate justice was done and ye treasure saved. Said treasure being hoarded for further voyages to carry King Henry V to ye port of Newbury port where a Drama Festival of ye state occureth ,and eke to ye distant University of Indiana whence shall sail a picked crew of ye ship’s company to partake of ye Drama conference of ye whole nation. Thus with eke a nite of noveltye close we this journal! for the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty .seven. 82 President DONALD WOOD Vice-President RENE MAROJS Secretary PHYLLIS MURPHY Councillors CONSTANCE AUDET JERRY AUDETTE Left to right, front—P. Murphy. C. Audet. Rear—R. Marois, G. Audette, D. Wood The Health Club To keep Durfee elean by inspecting' lockers and desks, enforcing the sanitation rules in the cafeteria, corridors, and stairways of the Durfee and Technical buildings are a few of the duties of the Health Club. Under the direction of Miss Angeline B. Crispo and Miss Maybelle E. Ramsay, the Health Club is composed of the entire Sophomore class. The voting power is vested in five officers elected by the Sophomore class and two representatives from each Sophomore home room. The purpose of the organization is to maintain the health standards of the school by encouraging the participation of the entire student body in the projects the club sponsors each year. A very successful “clean-up” week was held in which colorful posters were placed in the corridors. A slogan contest held prior to the campaign provided peppy slogans for the “blackboard appeal” in the home rooms. The Sanco rules that were placed in the cafeterias and study halls served as daily reminders to “keep Durfee clean”. The club recognizes that the success of this and other health pro- jects was made possible only with the help of other school organizations and the cooperation of the faculty and the entire student body. For their generous and hearty support of our efforts to make Durfee a healthier and cleaner school, our sincere thanks are extended. 84 Left to tight, seated—W. Ziobro, V. Lipschitz, P, Nadeau, A.

Hilltop One of the oldest of our school’s activities. The Hilltop, this Spring concludes 26 years of service to students. Founded in 1921 as a quar- terly magazine, the publication soon becaame a weekly with newspaper format and as such has been considered an important factor in the development of good Durfee spirit. In following a policy of promoting the welfare of the school and its student body, the paper has at the same time given pupils in the journalism courses a medium for practical experience in the subject. Financially, it has been self-sustaining, thanks to the cooperation of student subscribers and local merchants who use its columns for ad- vertising their wares. Doris Sussman, editor-in-chief, and Anita Dunn, business manager, under the facility guidance of Mr. John T. Crowley, head the 1946- 1947 all-Senior staff. They are assisted by the following: Lorraine Cardinal, assistant editor; Raymond Connolly, news editor; Alan Cornell and Frank Roderigues, sports editors; Wanda Ziobro, girls’ sports editor; Cecilia Rydz, circulation manager; Anne Gridin, typist; Janice Baron, Phyllis Booth, Roberta Borden, Theresa Di Corpo, Elisabeth Lalime, Vivian Lipschitz, Pauline Nadeau and Lorraine Nunes, reporters and feature writers. Library Aids The Durfee Library Aids, under the guidance of Miss Marion E. Reman, the school librarian, is one of the most important organizations in the school. The aids are chosen for their scholastic standing, dependa- bility and cooperation, from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. The duties of the library aids consist of issuing passes every morn- ing from 8 to 8:15, collecting and taking these passes each period to the study halls, locating pupils absent from the library, locating books that are overdue, keeping the shelves of books in order according to the Dewey Decimal System, assisting pupils in finding material, working with the library science classes held for sophomores, and being helpful to teachers and pupils in every way. At least once a year the Library Aids have a party. This year we had one with the Science Club in the gymnasium where there was a tree beautifuly decorated by the aids. Square dances and a Santa Claus who brought gifts and refreshments provided a pleasant evening. The Library Aids are not only beneficial to the school, but they themselves receive valuable experience which they may need later. The aids are Samuel Attar, Gerald Audette, Roberta Beaven, Edward L. Davis, Ralph Dupont, Seymour Ellison, Martin E. Felder, Rebecca Ferman, Esther Fich, Marilyn Friedlander, Helga Gerlick, Edward Gow, Rachel Liner, Vivian Lipchitz, Sheela Mittleman, Elayne Norwich, Cecilia C. Oliveira, Janet E.

We had a heavy schedule of home games and the band gave loyal support at all the games at Alumni Field and also at the Coyle game in Taunton. The chorus and the orchestra presented their Christmas concert and repeated it for the Rotary Club at the Hotel Mellen. On March first the chorus gave the first performance in New England of “A Tooth for Paul Revere”. This was sung for the annual dinner of the Fall River Civic Music Association. The spring concert was given by the orchestra, junior chorus and senior chorus. This program featured contemporary American music. The orchestra, chorus and band attended the State Music Festival in Medford on May 10, participating in the massed concerts as well as playing for ratings. The band made five trips to Boston to play at the Boston Garden, played for civic parades with the American Legion and gave a concert in the Technical Auditorium on May 20. The music department has provided music for almost 100 programs during the course of the year. This includes performances at assemblies, athletic events, parades, class day and commencement exercises, as well as civic and church meetings.

Henry National Honor Society President Vice-President ERNEST PICARD GRACE PETERSON Secretary PATRICIA HENRY The National Honor Society is a purely honorary organization, the members of which are chosen from the highest ranking students of the Senior and the Junior classes. The pupils are marked on four traits: character, leadership, scholarship and service. From the group receiv- ing the highest grades, a faculty committee elects the members. The induction ceremony held in the spring is most impressive, ex- plaining the four attributes on which its members are chosen. Members of this club have gone forth to higher institutions of learning and from these they have become successful in the various walks of life that they have followed. 90 Left to right, seated—S, Guttler, B.

CRISPO The Sanitation Commission has grown from an idea, introduced in June, 1946, to an assembly of all school officers, into an all-powerful machine with the purpose of maintaining a clean, wholesome, healthy campus. Made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of the four classes, two representatives from the student council, the president of the home room directors and the upper council of the Sophomore health club, the commission, with the charter members, began in the new school year to organize with a semblance of smoothness and efficiency. The group cast aside all obstacles, drew up a constitution and a code of sanitation, organized a large group of workers from the student body and pitched in. The system was simple. A student court was or- ganized to try and condemn all offenders of the Code. The work was slow7 and hard, but the charter group realized the precariousness of the position w7hich they held and knew7 that as an experiment, things would have to be done fast and with a minimum of inefficiency. The charter members welcomed a new, young fresh body of dele- gates from low7er classes, and turn over with confident smiles and sad hearts an organization that is an asset to the school, and a credit to those students who, by supreme effort, made it a living institution. 91 The Science Club President STANLEY STAFIEJ V ice-Pr e ttiden t ROGER TURNER Secretary GLORIA GAGNON Treasurer RITA SHERRY Faculty Adviser MR. JOSEPH 0. CARROLL The Science Club, under the capable guidance of Mr. Joseph O. Carroll, faculty advisor, is one of the organizations at Durfee whose primary purpose is to promote and stimulate scientific interest among students. It encourages its members to carry on research with special emphasis on laboratory technique. The club was originally organized to prepare students for the annual Westinghouse Science Scholarship Examinations. Any student taking biology, chemistry, or physics is eligible for membership. Meetings are held weekly after school, when interesting discussions and demonstrations increase the members’ knowledge of everyday science. Besides the weekly meetings, the members have visited, in the course of the year, the Science Fair in Providence and the Rumford Chemical Works in Rumford, R. I. Although the meetings are the most important activity of the club, it has not been without its social affairs. Numerous parties and other recreational activities, financed by the club, were immensely enjoyed by the members. With such an acute shortage of scientists at the present time, the Science Club is playing a major role in replenishing the deficit, for our members will become the scientists of the future. 92 The Speakers’ Bureau President LEONARD BORGES Vice-President ROSEMARY READY Secretary WANDA ZIOBRO Concluding its fourth year of service at Durfee, the Speakers’ Bureau has had a very successful year. It had approximately 90 members, which surpassed the membership of all previous years. The first speech was given on the S. A. A. Membership Drive. Soon after, when Durfee’s football team got into the show, members urged pupils to join the cheering section at Alumni field, and later told about the bonfire and rally which preceded the Durfee-New Bed- ford game. The Dramatic Club got publicity for all their shows and the Suggestion Boxes, the Health Club slogan contest were justly publicized. The Speakers’ Bureau is an organization of seniors chosen for excellence by the teachers of Public Speaking; also, members of the student council belong. It serves two purposes: first, it promotes the student’s interest in extra curricular activities; second, it offers its members valuable experience in speaking before groups. Miss Elizabeth L. Leonard is faculty advisor. 93 Left to right, front—G. Ritter, R. Alexander, R. Rockliffc, K. Berroth. Rear—R. Kenyon, G. Martin, W. Holland, H. Hicks The Traffic Squad Although the Traffic Squad was undermanned and understaffed tills year, it has been able to conform with the rigid standards pre- viously set. In general, the duties of the Traffic Squad are to maintain order throughout the corridors of both buildings during the changing of classes and lunch periods, and to direct traffic in such a way as to enable students to reach their various classes quickly. The successful work of the Traffic Squad can be attributed only to the earnest cooperation of the members and officers, who were ap- pointed at the half year, and who worked diligently to organize the Squad in order that it might serve the school to its fullest capacity. But the force that motivated the squad, and who has made it one of the most important organizations in Durfee, is Miss E. Estelle Miles, and to her belong most of the laurels. The squad of ‘47 sincerely hopes that in years to come, the Traffic Squad will hold the same prominence, 91 Left to right, kneeling—R. Cabral, D. Trevisano, A. MarzilH, H. MacAyeal, D. Wall- work, A. Slowe, J. Andrews, Standing—R. Samson, J. Smith, II. Noga, G. Deniz, S. O’Neil, Football Team Despite the fact that they began the season with little experience and without the guidance of Coach Urban, the Red and Black gridiron athletes turned in a record of five victories and five defeats. Opening the season at Pierce Stadium, the Hilltoppers defeated East Providence, 6-2, They lost the next two games to two powerful Rhode Island teams, Providence Central, 7-0, and Rogers of Newport, 24-13, These two defeats seemed to pep up the squad, for in their next tilt they trounced Attleboro, 26-6, in the second night game played under the newly installed flood lights of Alumni Field. On Columbus Day, Durfee clashed with Chelsea and won their third game, 12-7, It was after this game that Coach Urban returned to pilot the squad through the remaining games. In their next game the Red and Black ran up against a strong, hard fighting Taunton eleven and were de- feated, 12-0. North Attleboro fell next, to the tune of 20-0. Tben New Bedford Voke dropped a night game at Alumni Field by a score of 27-13. Journeying to Woodley Field on Armistice Day, Durfee received a 12-0 setback at the hands of a strong Coyle eleven that went on to an undefeated season. Then before a capacity crowd, an injury riddled Durfee team was defeated in a hard fought game by New Bedford, 13-7, Seniors on the varsity were Moe Wallwork, Jim Smith, Gerry Au- dette, Hank Noga, Ray Cabral and A1 Marzilli. Other outstanding seniors on the squad were Dick Field, Jim Mooney, A1 Slowe, Jack Shepard and Byron Arnold. 96 Basketball Yeam Captain HENRY NOGA Co-M anagerts DONALD PERKINS JAMES SMITH Coach LOUIS J. URBAN The 11)46-47 red and black quintet turned in the finest basket- ball record since the sport was inaugurated at Durfee by winning three championships. Although they dropped the opening game to Providence Central, Durfee began to roll after defeating them in a return match and taking a two game series from Rogers High School of Newport. These three victories gave Durfee the spirit to take the following ten games, and capture the Bristol County Championship, With this outstanding record Durfee received its third successive invitation to the Head- masters’ Tournament at Boston Garden. The red and black had little trouble in defeating Everett in the first game and Lawrence in the second, and they went on to defeat Waltham and win the tournament. This victory entitled Durfee to represent Eastern Massachusetts in the New England Tournament. In the opening tilt of this tournament Durfee defeated Bangor High. The following night the '‘Durfee Peaches” defeated Worcester South. With this victory Durfee captured the Championship of Mass- achusetts as Worcester South was the representative of the western part of the state. In the final game Durfee was defeated by Leaven- worth of Waterbury, Conn, Senior luminaries who completed their high school basketball careers were Captain Hank Noga, one of the county’s highest scorers; Dick Somple and Shay Lynch. President HENRY NOGA Varsity Club V ice-Pre s id en t ALBERT MARZILLI Treasurer JOHN BRENNER Secretary STEVEN O’NEIL The Varsity Club is composed of Durfee boys who have earned at least one varsity letter. Theirs is the glory of being proud owners of black sweaters with three red stripes on the sleeve and a large “D” in front. Purpose of the club is to promote athletics in the school. This year club members built a huge bonfire for a rally on the eve of the Durfee- New Bedford football game. The big event of the year for members is the outing held in the spring, when they are guests of their faculty adviser and coach, Mr. Urban, at his lakeside lodge. There they enjoy an afternoon of athletic events and an evening of dancing. Members of the club look forward to this annual outing as one of the most enjoy- able social affairs on the Durfee calendar. us Baseball As the Record Book goes to press, the 1947 baseball team has made an auspicious start by defeating New Bedford, 3-0, at Alumni Field, and Coyle High School, 6-4, at Father Woodley Field. At this writing the squad gives promise of having another successful season. Twenty-three players survived the cuts made by Coach Urban in early-season practice and the starting line-up has been as follows: Joe Andrews c, Elt Murphy lb, Stan Sincoski 2b, Hank Noga ss, Jack Brenner 3b, Jim Smith If, Ray Samson cf, Shay Lynch rf, with Ted Rys as first string pitcher, and Chuck Burton and Gordon Nichols second and third choices. Ten games still remain on the schedule, as follows: May 13—Taunton, away. 14—Cranston, at home. 16—N. B. Vocational, away. 20—New Bedford High, away. 23—Taunton, at home. 27—East Providence, away. June 3—Coyle, at home. 6—East Providence, at home 10— N. B. Vocational, at home. 11— Cranston, away. P!1 Left to right, front—B. Robinson, W. Ziobro, A. Brush. Rear—E, Maines, N. Tessier, P.

In their red and white skirts and sweaters during football season, and in their new red and black princess-style outfits at basketball games, by their appearance and enthusiasm they added much to the color of our athletic contests. During the school year the girls also held cheering practice for the student body before all “big games”, and led the cheers at all pep rallies and assemblies. Their final appearance of the season was at Boston Garden at both the Headmasters’ Basketball Tournament and the New England Tournament. This year the group consisted of seven girls, three seniors and four juniors. All sophomores who have the required marks are eligible for the tryouts held in the spring. Those chosen serve as cheerleaders during their junior and senior years. The squad for the 1946-1947 season was composed of Wanda Ziobro, head cheerleader; Audrey Brush, Barbara Robinson, Phyllis Capone, Eleanor Maines, Norma Tessier and Cremilde Torres. 100 Conduntor JOHN J. MORTARTY Pep Band Bit s in e ss M an ager BARTON BERNSTEIN Librarian RAYMOND AINSWORTH The Durfee Pep Band, first organized in 1945 as part of the Band, was reorganized this fall as an entirely separate organization. It made its initial appearance last year at the basketball games, playing both marches and popular tunes. After being successful in its first venture, it was then called upon to play at various assemblies and rallies throughout the year 1945-46. The Pep Band was admitted to the S. A. A. this fall and has one delta office. Its first appearance under the new charter was at the foot- ball banquet. The Pep Band continued its practice of playing at the basketball games and accompanied the team to Boston Garden for the first game of the Eastern Massachusetts tournament. The Band took over on the second night. The Pep Band rehearses once a week after school time and mem- bership is on an entirely voluntary basis. 101 Girls Numeral Club President. CHARLOTTE LOWNEY Vice-President DOROTHY BRADSHAW Secretary BARBARA PIGGOTT The Girls' Numeral Club is the organization which is devoted to sports. The group is composed of forty-five members of the three upper classes and girls are chosen on the basis of their activity and their lead- ership ability. Gym activities were restricted this year through the loss of the girls' gym, but volleyball, soccer, basketball and bowling filled our schedule. On our social program we had a Hallowe'en party, a dance, a spring outing and many interesting programs. 102 Front center—Annette Chabot—Captain.

Row 2—Helen Jardin, Rosemary Ready, Nancy Carroll, Connie Arnold, Selma Cohen, Doris Allen, Girls’ Basketball Team This year the girls’ varsity team started the season with only two experienced varsity players. One practice a week was held and an eight game schedule agreed upon. For the first time in the history of the team, Durfee was invited to join the Girls’ Narry League.
