S. 1940” set sail on the glorious autumn day of Septem- ber 7, 1937. Friends and relatives stood on the shore and bade the brave adventurers success on their voyage. However, trouble was soon to strike the gallant ship. The crew had had scarcely time to adjust themselves to sailing the stormy seas of knowledge when, by the death of Admiral Perry, Captain Appleton was taken from them to fill the shoes of the great Admiral, and they had to drop anchor until a new superior officer should be sent to them. Of course, First Mate Coburn took command beautifully, and the upper seamen of the Junior and Senior classes kept things in ship shape order, so that the new seamen—the Sophomores—had scarcely anything to worry about. Not m uch time had passed, however, before Captain Davis, the new superior officer was sent out. Once again the trusty ship “L. H. 8S. 1940” hoisted anchor and resumed its trip. For three months the gallant vessel sailed the seas. Then, once again danger raised its ugly head. In the distance, a huge ice-berg appeared—mid-years! With all the crew working frantically, the ship was able to escape this danger with very little damage done. When the sailing again became calm, the three classes of seamen participated in some friendly rivalry. The lower seamen, not to be outdone by their so-called betters, made an exceptional showing in various types of sports. Thomas Rock represented the common Sophomore sailors in football by making the first team in competition with the good ship “F. H. 8. 1940”, while John Grinkis became outstanding on the basketball floor. In March, Janet Owens, Harry Heustis, and some others of the talented crew distinguished themselves in a play ‘‘Green Shadows,” which won high acclaim by all aboard the “L. H. 8. 1940.” As the ship then lay in shallow waters near shore, Lucia Piermarini was given shore leave to take part in the National Forensic League Contest where she well represented the crew in oratorical ability. When, at the approach of summer, the ship made port, the crew was dismissed on a two- months’ shore leave. Summer passed; once more the call of the sea brought back most of the crew and fellow passengers to resume their adventures aboard the good ship “L. H. S. 1940”. At last the crew had become second class seamen! At last they were above the rank of common sailors. After a few months of calm sailing in glassy waters, the crew experienced some new ad- ventures. In November, two of the second class members, Harry Smith and Richard Arnold, bestowed a great honor on the ship by winning first and second prizes in the Better Speech Contest. Shortly after the first important experience of the crew, the good ship “‘F. H. S. 1940” chal- lenged them to combat on the high seas. Of course, the sturdy “L. H. S. 1940” responded im- mediately by sending such able seamen as Thomas Rock, Gunnard Reynolds, John Bigelow, Joseph Carchidi, George Kelley, and Maurice Perreault into battle. With such strong fighters as these the “L. H. S. 1940”’ came out victorious by a score of 14 to 0. Shortly after this great victory, the valiant ship ran into the stormy weathers of mid- years. Although slightly battered, she still remained sea worthy. For a rest period after the heavy storm, some of the crew participated in various sports; such as, basketball, hockey and track. In March, the second class seamen decided the time had come to choose leaders for their class. After an election, John Cummings, Patricia Patten, Richard Andrews, and Marjorie Noak were found to be best fitted for the positions of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. To allay any possibilities of seasickness, homesickness or boredom, the Junior seamen put on the Shakespearian play “Twelfth Night” in modern dress. Members of the crew who partici- pated in this venture were Gladys Lavin, Arthur Lane, Gunnard Reynolds, Thena Dav is, Robert Peck, Robert Derosier, Everett Mosher, Ruth Johnson, George Emmerling, Wilfred Lord, David Bassett, Marie Houde, Morton Levine, John Cummings, and Thomas Rock. Prompters were Nancy Binns, Jeannette Colcord, and Lesta Davis. Janet Owens, Mildred Hart, Constance (24) Pee ee Pm IN as TERING IE AE Hayes, Andrew Lamy, and Gerard Cournoyer were on the property committee. The play well served its purpose, for it was thoroughly enjoyed by all members of the ship. The months aboard the good ship “L. H. S. 1940” flew by as the whole crew was kept busy with the duties aboard ship. One spring evening, in a Japanese setting, many members of the crew danced to the strains of a popular orchestra. All in all, the Junior Prom was a glorious and successful event and was enjoyed by all who attended. Not many weeks later, the Junior members gave a reception for the departing Senior Crew. Immediately following this event, the ship made for port where the crew took shore leave for a much needed vacation. On September 6, 1939, the good ship “L. H. S. 1940” hoisted anchor for the last lap of her three-year journey. Captain Dwight Shaw Davis was at the helm, and the former Junior sea- men, now first class, were in full charge of the ship. Not long after they were out of port, the Senior Crew decided to choose leaders once more. Because the officers of the Junior year had conducted themselves so ably, their fellow seamen again made them their choice. One beautiful November day, the “L. H. S. 1940” again encountered the “F. H. S. 1940”, which had returned to seek vengeance. As before, the superior ‘“L. H. S.”’ members defeated their opponents by a score of 18 to 0. Of course, whether or not the crew would have been so successful without the able assistance of John Bigelow, Philip Pagnotta, Maurice Perreault, Louis Piecuci, Gunnard Reynolds, Thomas Rock, George Kelley, John Dould, Stanley Newton, J oseph Carchidi, and Mario Marchisio was doubtful. However, the battle was well fought and the sturdy vessel resumed her journey. A short time after the battle with the “F. H.S. 1940”, a member of the crew, Jeanette Colcord, wrote and produced a play, which was given by some of the senior members for the enjoyment of all aboard ship. Jane Gallagher, Lesta Davis, Thena Davis, Nancy Whitney, John Cummings, Harry Heustis, and Leon Vallee were some of the crew who had parts in the play. On January 12th, a very important event in the history of the good ship “L. H. S. 1940” occurred. The Senior Prom! The young maidens, in their colorful gowns, and their gallant partners danced away their cares and worries amidst the delightful background of a circus. The evening was a complete success both financially and socially. As most of those aboard were more or less athletically inclined, sports were great sources for entertainment. The girls’ sports were upheld by Dorothy Gamache, Doris Thomas, Helen Becrelis, and Florence Page, whose ability on the basketball floor was well worth while. On April fourth, one of the great events of the trip was held, the inter-class play contest. Each of the three groups of seamen aboard ship took part by presenting a play. The Senior group chose “Ebb Tide,” a highly emotional play. As the play was dramatic in type, the crew chose Mary Legere, Erna Lawton, Eleanor Alderman, David Bassett, Richard Arnold, Robert Hyatt and Theodore Cote for the leading roles. Although “Ebb Tide’’ did not win first place, the judges awarded it second prize. Erna Lawton and David Bassett were judged the best actress and actor in the play. The following week, shore leave was given to this group, and they journeyed to Everett where they competed with groups from other great ships of learning. A great honor was bestowed on the seamen from “L. H. 8. 1940”; their play took first place in the competition. As a reward for their efforts, they were given a certificate of merit. Richard Arnold was chosen one of the four best actors in the state. As the ship made her way across the stormy waters, all aboard were kept busy at their work for a few weeks after their shore leave. Then the group of upper seamen began planning their senior play,—‘‘Seasoned Timber’’. The play was a great undertaking for all members of the class, for the drama which they chose was one of the most difficult. The story had originally been written as a novel. Through the efforts of John Joyce, Jr., a member of the faculty, it was adapted for the stage. Acclaim was given the crew by all who witnessed the performance. Theodore Cote and Thelma Falk did splendidly as the leads. In June, 1940, the good ship “L. H. 8S. 1940” reached her destination. The voyage was finished. The trip had been long and hard but pleasant, and all members of the crew were sorry to see it ended; however, all of them looked forward to the different roads that lay ahead. (25) —— THE MAGNET Class Prophecy Oh, you, who can look through your crystal mirror, Tell us in your visions what you see. Is it true that we shall shed a tear, or Are these dreams to be or not to be? We, who are the class of 1940, Do not ask for riches or for fame. We do not ask in any way that’s haughty, But we must know our future just the same. The greatest production since ““GWTW” back in 1940 is now under way. The hustle and bustle back stage creates an uproar. No one is calm. In the wings, Maurice Perreault, the director, chews a cigar abusively, waving his hands, trying to convince George Emmerling, the producer, that this epic is as good as his press agent, Karl Seward, says it is. For weeks Arthur Lane and John Bigelow, the script writers, racked their brains for a suitable title. A national contest was held. James Stuart won it with ““We Are All Together’’. Howard Vorse and Leon Vallee, production managers, give last minute directions to Francis Beaudette, Anthony Amico, Americo Gentile and Robert Ussery. Anthony Amico, although a good cheerleader in the good old days, gets the signals mixed, and the quartette go sprawling over the floor. Howard Gagnon, of the state police, chats with Edith Westine, Thelma Sharon and Gladys Cocci, who are likely to be called by their bosses, James Morey, Andrew Lamy and Roland Bailey, stock holders, to take some shorthand. Raymond Rossner drops in to fix the telephones and stops to talk to Betty Brown, the switch board operator. The lights suddenly dim, the audience hushes, the curtain rises, and a miniature modern city is the setting. Looking down the street, the audience is impressed by the glaring signs over the entrance of each store. Over there to the left is the Katchall Undertaking Parlour with Bill Bennett and Ruth Rogers, chief morticians. Bill can be seen drumming up trade by tripping up passersby with a string attached to a lamp post while Ruth stands by_and grins. Bill’s first victim is Bob Hyatt, who comes running across the stage and lands flat on his face. After Bill apologizes for a clumsy job, Bob tells him he’s going over to Slalom College. There Gunnard Reynolds coaches the football team; Frank Sonack and Rosario Pancare coach basketball; Johnny Grinkis and Charlie Falconer coach the baseball team; and Mario Marchisio, the hockey team. Bob figures he can get a few extra towels from them for his ‘“Ritzbiltmore Hotel.” Bob invites Bill along to the college to see some of the old high school chums, among whom are Dave Bassett, professor of advanced solid trig and bio-chemical physics; Ted Cote, who’s the head of the language department and who teaches Sanskrit; and William Tracey and Rena Toni, who are the heads of the commercial courses. The reason, explained Bob, that there are so many of the old classmates at Slalom College is that Tom Rock, M.D., financial expert, Stan Newton, and the ‘“‘Cleanser’’ soap heiress, Pat Patten, have built this college for L. H. S. alumni and have given the important positions to their old classmates. Bob runs along, and Bill looks for another victim. Meantime, next door, Robert Peck opens the door to his Super Soda Salon, looks out, and then turns to talk to Lloyd Mann and Everett Mosher, his head pharmacists, who come out to watch three aeroplanes (unseen to the audience), which are making smoke signs in the air. Bob looks at a book he has brought out from the store bookstand, entitled ““The Aviator’s Cloud”, and turns to tell Lloyd and Everett that the pilots are Richard Bergeron, George Grogan and Armand Millette, who are in the fifteenth flying squadron together. They gaze intently at the gyrating planes until they all get stiff necks and go back into the store to rub each other’s necks with their own B. U. M. liniment. At the other end of the city is a beauty salon-dress shoppe, which is run in the beauty salon part by Doris Gamache and in the dress shoppe by Nancy Whitney. Louise Bourbeau, Lucy Hume, and Marie Day are operating on customers in strapped beauty chairs, and Edna Transue (26) [Stish ee Mi Aaror NTE] and Anna Coyle are assisting Miss Whitney to design a dress for Winifred McLean, who will wear it in a picture advertising “H. H.” cigarettes, a Heustis proudction. Next to them is the print shop of Charles Smith, Jack Tata, and Ray Bouvier, known as the Public Press. This is a semi-private concern run by Senators William Appleton and Donald Church, who use it for printing campaign material. Church is in there now, blowing off a speech about pensions for unmarried thirty-five year old women. In a hairdressing shop in the middle of the city, Geraldine Bresnahan, Bessie Huston, Rita Buss, Janet Kavanaugh and Natalie Ordway are sitting around gossiping and waiting for a customer. They are discussing Thad Bell’s orchestra, which is in town. Especially do they speak of Gerry Cournoyer and Alan Cunningham, who present new twist in popular orchestra music with their singing violins. _In the city’s highest skyscraper (four stories) on the third floor is the “Dam Engineering Company” owned by Richard Howe, who made his fortune in inventing a reversible button which revolutionized woman’s styles. His head engineers are Joe Carchidi, Wilfred Lord, Honore Camire and Joseph Borden, who are working on plans to dam the Nashua River in Leominster. On the floor beneath this company is the ‘‘Astroid’’, a local newspaper which is the brainchild of Lucille Tharler, who writes the sob-sister column, “If You Drop A Tear, Drop A Line”. The present editor-in-chief is Francis Lowe, who was elected for this year by the other reporters, who are: John DiNardo—roving reporter, Harrison Rugg—city editor, Erna Lawton—society editor, Phil Pagnotta—sports writer, Albert Saucier—cartoonist, and Arthur Deane, managing editor. At the present time, the whole staff is working on an exclusive story about a fire in the Weakside Hospital, in which, nurses Audrey Smith, Jane Haley, Eleanor Alderman, Veronica McCaffrey, Helen Becrelis, Hazel Kingsbury, Margaret Buchan and Jane Gallagher, prevent any casualties and keep the patients well in order. In a half and half store near the Super Soda Salon, Laura Whitney practices occupational therapy a nd has two clerks, Jeanette Bedard and Marjorie Hurtubise. There’s no business right now, and the three women are over in the other half of the store, which consists of a lending library run by Nancy Binns and Mary Leheney. Nancy is reading aloud a school book which none of them really finished in high school. Even in this day and age her audience falls asleep. Then Doris Wiggins and Marjorie Wheeler come in and consult Laura, who gives them positions as comptometrists in the Martin Spacciapoli statistical office, the slogan of which is “If We’re Wrong, It’s A Lie.” Marie Boulay, Gladys Lavin, Ruth Johnson, Doris Thomas and Mildred Hart pass down the street on their way to teach at the local high school and greet their friends along the street. Marie teaches French; Ruth, Latin; Mildred, chemistry; Gladys, English; and Doris, history. Just five smart girls! ; A unique stage effect, a sight seeing bus, passes through the street, driven by Warren Hutchins. In it are Edward Pitts, an industrial designer, who is studying the structures of the city, and Robina Chiurri, Irene Tatro, and Mary Tabbutt, who are secretaries in Robert Derosier’s re- search office in a nearby city, and are on a vacation. Hutchins calls out the important names of places and gives the passengers and the audience a short history of the lives of the citizens men- tioned previously. As he passes off to the side, the first act of this strange, interesting play ends. During the intermission, the many citizens of Leominster gossip among themselves while waiting for act two. In one clique is Beatrice Pierce, Barbara Reary, Minnie Powers and Marie Raffael, who are a committee on the Betterment of Leominster Entertainment and who are enjoying the play immensely. Norman Thomas, Patsy Pettrica, William Lavoie, and Chet Chapin, foremen at George Methe’s shoe factory, are enjoying the play on passes given to them by their employer. Virginia Gauthier, Marion Malo, Pauline Norwood, Irene Ouelette and Betty Minulla, who teach at Marjorie Noak’s business school, have come to the play to get material for their classes. And among the housewives present are the former Gina DiNardo, Sylvia Ellis, Gladys Muir, Hazel McAllister, Rena Hitchcock, Josephine Benson, Adela Duchesneau, Irene Dufort and Lucille Descoteaux. Jeanette Colcord, Florence Page and Evelyn Robinson are selling refreshments. (27) TERE SeMeAcG: NE] Among those who have left the city and have come back to the premier of the strange play are Doctor George Smith, a well-drilled dentist; Lillian Grieshammer, a successful business woman; Mary Legere, who is running a chain of girls’ sport clothes stores all over the country; Marie Houde, head teacher of Romance Languages at Boston University, her alma mater; Connie Hayes, traveling lecturer; William DiNardo, president of the Universal Grocery Company with stores around the world; Sylvia Weare, dietician, who has a radio program; Marylouise Peterson, who has a string of picture studios throughout New England known as Messzie’s Snap-Shoppes; Edward McDonough, a vice-president of the New England Power Company; Reverend Richard Arnold, famous television minister; Mary Crain, who has an exclusive boarding school in lower New York State; Lesta Davis, who is a famous diva of the Metropolitan Opera Company; John Dould, coach of the Boston Bulldogs, a professional football team; Virginia Ellington, teacher of the Russian Ballet in New York; Hilleen Smith, Academy Award winner; Philip Crotch, principal of Salem High School; Anne O’Neil, famous diplomat to France, who is going to run for senator; Louis Picucci, football, basketball, and baseball official; Janet Owens, who paints the covers for The Saturday Evening Post; Barbara Perry, famous woman surgeon; and Nancy Nettel, first woman mayor of Leominster.

Emil Fontaine, George Douglas, Ray Robbins, Alden Piper and Edmond Potter, the head ushers, are now warning the stragglers in the lobby that the second act will soon start. Lucia Piermarini, well-known writer, who has been delayed, now enters her box, guarded by Gerard Mousseau and Daniel Marrama. She is reputed to be one of the richest writers in modern times. In act two, John Cummings, leading man in the play, acts as mayor of the city and brings Thelma Falk, leading lady, through the city, visiting all the stores, offices, etc. While they are passing the sky-scraper (four stories), a piece of seasoned timber falls on their collective heads. John looks up and says, “It’s that “Dam Engineering Company,” and they both swoon. Just then Thena Davis, co-leading lady in the play, comes walking down the street, and, seeing the fellow actors’ predicament, lets out a stagey scream. All the people rush from the stores and carry the actors away on their shoulders. As they leave the stage, John asks Thena what he can do to repay her, and she says, “Will you will you “Yes, yes!!”’ “Will you lend me your 1940 Commencement issue of the Magnet?” Class Will Eleanor Alderman leaves her place on the stage to Doris Harvey.

The members all contributed to a fund to purchase medals for the finalists. The coaching was ably handled by Coach Dwight S. Davis and Leon A. Drury Jr., a member of our faculty. The spring tennis squad enjoyed greater numbers and increased efficiency. Those reporting were: Algiers, Appleton, Church, Cournoyer, D’Onfro, Gamache, Hastings, Hyatt, Lane, Lemoine, Reynolds, Rheault, Vaillette, Vignault, and Vinal. This squad engaged with Assumption High School, Athol, Concord, Fitchburg, Keene, N. H., and Marlboro. There were more letter men this year than have ever been on the tennis team, there being five. (31) IPahe A wales(GiiN FSi) S Ci 10r Play Dorothy Canfield Fisher, one of the most distinguished present day writers, conferred on the class of 1940 the unusual distinction of presenting a dramatization of her widely read and much discussed novel ‘“‘SSeasoned Timber’’. The first performance on any stage of this adaptation, which was made especially for the class of 1940 by John F. Joyce, Jr., of the faculty, occurred on the evenings of May 8 and 9 in the Junior High School auditorium before crowded and enthusiastic houses. Every member of the graduating class participated in some connection in the production, either as a member of the cast of 80 or in the large production staff. The class and the school received widespread recogni- tion for this unusual undertaking.

I admit that we have not yet achieved this coveted pinnacle; but in paying tribute to those who builded for us, we can thank them for enabling us to stand on the nearest possible step to that goal. Had the early townspeople of Leominster not been inculcated with the undaunted spirit of pioneers, had they not been such dreamers as could vision a thriving, beautiful City of Leomin- ster, we should, today, not have been developed enough to enjoy all of our present facilities. Their spirit of loyalty to Leominster led them to work hard for the bright future of the com- munity even though they realized no great benefit from it themselves. This pioneer spirit was manifested by the early teachers and scholars. The teachers were often poorly-trained and under-paid, but they continued their school teaching instead of turning to other occupations which would offer richer material returns. During the Civil War, when the community found difficulty in appropriating an adequate sum of money to maintain the schools, the teachers offered their services for one week gratuitously. By this generous and loyal co- operation on the part of the teachers, the students were able to obtain the benefit of a whole school year’s education without over-burdening the taxpayers of the community. The students of the early schools of Leominster obtained their education under difficult conditions. First of all, since the schoolhouse was located in the center of the community, most of the pupils had to travel great distances. Poor roads and inclement weather were serious drawbacks to school attendance. Often, on a winter morning, the scholar, peeping out of his window, gazed on a cold, white world covered by a deep, unbroken blanket of snow. Such a day meant no school for girls, but the boys, heavily muffled and wearing thick mittens and socks, made their way over two or three miles of drifts to schools. The first schoolhouse, established on the present site of the Pine Grove Cemetery in 1747, was a one-room building maintained on $40 that year and absolutely devoid of any of the abundant facilities enjoyed by the modern student. It had poor ventilation, crude benches, no blackboards, and a very poor heating system. An open fireplace, the only source of heat, caused the students sitting near it to be uncomfortably warm, and those in the back of the room to shiver with cold. This is a picture of the conditions of education existing during the first forty or fifty years of the town’s history. This modest beginning started the wheel turning and served as an impetus for the development of our modern educational system. With the growth of the community, facilities were constantly expanded until in 18590 the town reached its first great educational milestone with the establishment of a high school. Gardner Hall, erected on the site of the present Municipal Building, was the seat of the first high school, with Josiah §. Phillips as its first principal. This noteworthy development came as the ful- fillment of the dreams of those early pioneers. It was the ultimate fruit of their efforts—a school of higher education for Leominster’s youth. However, Leominster did not stop with the realization of this dream, but strove on to greater heights, until it reached its second great educational milestone in 1928 with the erection of our modern, commodious Junior High School. Now, at the end of two hundred years of expansion and progress, we are well on our way toward our goal. Our modern educational opportunities provide us with the most thorough, scientific, and practical equipment with which to build a future in these highly competitive times. Our superiors sacrificed and toiled to furnish us with this equipment. Now that it is in our pos- session, let us use it to its fullest advantage. Let us show our appreciation by bending our shoulders to the wheel in an effort to make Leominster even bigger and better. Let us give the future generations as much cause to express their gratitude to us as we have, today, to express our gratitude to those who have labored for us. In striving toward that high goal, let us always adhere to our motto, “Forward ever—backward never.” —RENA TONI (34) pige Me AsGINs EL: Physical Pelee ea The main factor upon which all body processes depend is physical fitness. A person may be unable to do his work efficiently if he is not in good health. This fact justifies physical training in our schools, at the time when the student’s body is not fully formed and corrections can be easily made. Before the Civil War, physical education of any kind was unheard of in the United States. Such instruction was considered unnecessary since the children obtained enough exercise in their activities around the home. However, after the War (about 1867), Dr. Dyo Lewis advocated calisthenics as an aid to adolescent health. His “common sense” arguments refuted all other theories. Considering his advice and the example of larger cities and towns, Leominster soon required calisthenics in all schools. The children exercised from three to five minutes each day before classes, and during the day whenever the teacher thought drills advisable to promote order. In 1898, Military Drill was introduced as a part of the compulsory work for high school boys. Leominster was ahead of many cities in this training. Regulation drills were used, and a drill master was appointed. Officers were chosen from the most capable young men in the com- pany. The girls received instruction in exercises and other activities which did not require equip- ment or too much space. A humorous remark regarding the training of girls is to be found in the 1893 School Committee Report, “Their physical training should be as much a part of their education as their too often excessive mental training.” Each year a competitive drill was held in the town hall. Prizes were awarded to the three boys and the three girls who scored the most points. Attendance at these drills was large and the interest was high. This system remained in effect until 1925 when Mr. Edward J. Schulte was appointed director of athletics. Mr. Schulte’s goal was to develop a system of physical education that would reach and instruct every boy and girl by means of systematic exercise and supervised instruction. He coached basketball and Military Drill, while members of the facultry coached football and track. The next year tennis and baseball, coached by Mr. Donnelly and Mr. James respectively, were introduced. Intramural sports also made their debut that year. When Mr. Schulte resigned in 1927, Mr. Raymond C. Comerford was appointed director of physical education at the high school, and Lancelot Fowler assumed the duties of director at the newly-built junior high school. Mr. Comerford tried out touch football, soccer, dodge-ball, and indoor baseball. Meanwhile the girls played field hockey, volley ball, and basketball under Miss Mary C. Kielty. Other activities the girls engaged in were marching, track, wand and dumb-bell drills, and calisthenics. Two periods of physical training a week were (and still are) required for girls and boys in the junior and senior high schools. The problem of inadequate space for all activities was solved by the wonderful gift of an athletic field by Mr. Bernard W. Doyle. The field is one of the most beautiful in the state. Nine years ago Mr. Comerford died, and Mr. Charles B. Broderick was chosen to fill the vacancy. Two years later Mr. TheodoreM. Kucharski was appointed assistant football coach. At present, Mr. Broderick coaches football, basketball, and baseball; Mr. Burnham directs the track team; and Mr. Davis coaches tennis—a revived sport at Leominster High School. The sports just named are interscholastic. Many amusing incidents take place on the practice field, in the locker room, in the stands, and on the playing field. A story is told of a young man who was supposed to take his girl friend to the Leominster- Fitchburg game. He called for her at the appointed time, but she was not ready. By the time they reached the field and were in their seats, the game had reached the middle of the fourth quarter. The young lady asked a spectator what the score was. He replied, “‘Nothing to nothing.” She turned to her companion and said, “Oh! Then we haven’t missed anything.” Mr. Broderick has a program made out each year for regular work to be done by all boys in his classes. In the fall, the boys play touch football, speedball, soccer, and pitch horseshoes. During the winter, they have free hand exercises for posture, mass corrective work, physical (35) PEE eMeEASG- NEST efficiency tests (push-ups, chinning, hand grip, etc.) basketball, volley ball, and lectures on health and personal hygiene. In the spring the boys have their choice of either soft ball or horse- shoe pitching and are required to take physical efficiency tests, which include the one-hundred yard dash, broad jump, and high jump. Since this program offers activities to suit the abilities and preferences of all, this program has been successful. A question that comes to thousands of high school students is, ‘““Why am I taking this course?”’ Each boy and girl wants to know what he or she is getting in return for the hours spent. The values of a course in physical education are obvious. Accomplishment can be measured. In my estimation, physical and health education will do the following things for the school child: (1) Develop and build a strong, healthy, beautiful body that will enable him to enjoy work and play. (2) Secure control of the muscular system and consequently give him skill, dexterity, and a basis for all types of training. (8) Make him a better citizen by developing attitudes of good sportsmanship, fair play, and teamwork. (4) Prevent poor posture through preventive exercises, with special emphasis on his activities after he leaves school. —WILLIAM TRACEY Two Hundred Years of Civic Pride Two hundred years ago, a few families settled a new town and called it Leominster. What those settlers saw here still remains. They saw the rolling hills elevated towards the rising and setting of the sun. From these hills, they saw a beautiful landscape embracing many miles of territory. At one corner of the town, Mt. Wachusett stands silent and majestic, facing, in the other corner, Mt. Monadnock, the sentinel of the White Mountain range. These settlers, chose this spot because of its beauty and were proud of their choice. They made a home, for themselves and their descendants ,that, they thought, surpassed any towns they had ever seen. When this town grew and a minister came, a graveyard and tombstones were already established. When the minister died, a monument was erected over his grave—the first monument in the village, and the settlers were proud of it. So proud were they, in fact, that they tore down the stone wall surrounding the cemetery and erected a picket fence, that all who passed might see the grand stone monument inside. This town has changed through the years. Farms grew in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. The pride of the people increased with the population. A citizen of the town in those days said, “Throw aside the twenty best farms in Leominster and the next best would still be better than the best in all the surrounding towns.” This was not idle boasting, for the citizens of other towns admitted that the farms of Leominster outdid the farms of their home towns in the amount of production and the quality of the produce. Somehow, things seem to grow well in our soil. It is good fertile soil, and two hundred years of growing have not robbed it of its richness. In 1804, Daniel Adams gave a toast, ‘““To the town of Leominster—may difference in political sentiments never disturb the harmony of social intercourse nor interrupt the interchange of friendly offices.”’ He felt pride in the city of his choice, and he realized that a wonderful city does not remain wonderful unless its citizens do all in their power to keep it up to its standard. Leominster citizens have. A citizen of one hundred years ago claimed that the one trait in character concern- ing which the men of this town had reason to be proud was the good order which, from the begin- ning, had been observed in town meetings. The examples of being seated during the discussion of important and interesting subjects and of rising and addressing the Presiding Offieer with head uncovered were set by the worthy men who assembled in town meeting in 1740. The people of that time were proud of the way in which they governed themselves. You may be interested to hear what outsiders have thought of Leominster for two hundred years. The “Albany Evening Journal” in 1873 had a long article entitled ‘‘Leominster—A Model Town”. This article states that Leominster has peculiar and exceptional claims to considerations and has energy, public spirit, and sound inspirations which render it thoroughly representative of a progressive people. It goes on to describe our industries, scenery, population, and activities in detail. (36) ide see Gi NEY Sif The “Boston Transcript” printed a letter sent in by W. B. G. in 1861. This person wrote the letter on his return from a visit to our city. He said that he was satisfied from his experience that a few days spent in this neighborhood, filling up the time with walking, and driving about the country in an open wagon, with pleasant companions, is the best medicine in the world. Since outsiders regarded Leominster so highly, we can easily understand the great pride felt by its citizens, the makers of such a fine municipality. The good roads and sidewalks, the waterways and mountains, the handsome residential districts, the business stores and buildings all added up to a grand total of charm and efficiency. However, all our assets would be as nothing without the main feature, which is local pride —local pride which aims at the best. When the city wanted gas, the whole amount of stock was taken on the street within thirty-six hours. When it wanted water, the water bonds to the sum of $150,000 were sold at a price and with an ease which betokened the high character of Leominster. For two centuries, Leominster citizens have taken great pride in the appearance of their homes and gardens. This spring, during a clean-up campaign, we learned that every family in Leominster voluntarily cleans, paints, plants flowers, or in some way enhances the beauty of its own property. This fact is indeed remarkable when we consider the slovenly appearance of hundreds of cities throughout the country. We inherit this love of beauty from the founders of Leominster, who chose this spot because of its beauty and who planted and cultivated fine growing things for all to admire. Leominster has been an ideal community for youth to live and grow in. It has all the ad- vantages of a city without a city’s disadvantages. Fresh air, milk, and vegetables are here aplenty. The great outdoors seems greater here where our town is nestled among the hills. Our fertile soil has felt rain and snow and sunshine, each in its turn, and has gained richness from each. Our trees grow tall and green; our flowers, fresh and sweet; our grass carpets the ground with a blanket pleasing to the eye and soft to the touch. Years of growing have not cramped our fair city. There is room for all of our citizens. Our streets are symmetric in form; our houses are designed to blend each with the other in making a charming whole. No one who has visited Leominster has gone away unrefreshed. The attitude of Leominster citizens toward each other and toward strangers makes everyone feel life is worthwhile. There is a great friendliness in Leominster air that makes its citizens smile to each other as they pass on the street, and look for each other’s happiness and well being. The remarkable thing is that the golden rule has dwelt here not for five years and fled, not for ten years and vanished, but for two hundred years and thrived just as our business thrives and our schools grow and our city becomes the alma-mater of a larger population each year. —THELMA FALK iBook Club During the past months, the Book Club, which was organized in February, has met weekly to discuss modern books. Only members of the Junior and Senior classes who obtained a grade of B or better in English and showed an interest in modern literature were eligible for membership Hach student read a book every two or three weeks and presented a report before the club. The president also handed in a criticism of the same book taken from such publications as The Book of the Month Club or the New York Times Review. These reports were presented in turn and were discussed thoroughly by the individual members of the club. In this way the members learned how to best judge a book and enjoyed an appreciation of modern works, written in various fields of Art and Science, by contempora ry American authors.

Besides preparing and presenting three issues of their magazine, the Magnet staff engaged in other varied activities under the direction of Miss Mary E. Colley, Mrs. Elizabeth Morrill, and Miss Corinne Gately, faculty advisors. This fall during an assembly period, the editor, Theodore Cote, presided over an assembly in which staff members showed why the Magnet was something everyone should have. During the Christmas season, the editorial staff and the business staff had a get-together. Various students gave recitations, readings and a delightful musical program. Refreshments were served. By attending conventions of the C. M. I. P. A., representative students were able to meet with staff members of different schools and discuss various problems of interest. During February and March, while the Seniors were working on the Commencement Issue, the Juniors and Sophomores prepared the material for the Spring Issue. In April, the commencement staff of the Magnet enjoyed a lecture on word origins, given by Mr. Leon Drury Jr. The committee heads of the staffs were: EDITORIAL STAFF Sherwin Bardsley Ruth Robertson Marjorie Boutilier Marie Houde Louise Tornquist Ruth Johnson Arthur Lane Gladys Lavin Ralph Lein BUSINESS STAFF Maurice Perreault Lucia Piermarini Leon Vallee (38) eilpe VAs Nebel, Student Cabinet This year the Student Cabinet was an asset to school activities. It discussed important problems concerning student activities of the school year. Thomas Rock was elected president for the term; Herbert Holden and William Appleton, Jr. were elected vice-president and secretary- treasurer respectively. Mr. Davis and Mr. Coburn acted as advisors. Serving on the executive board were: John Cummings, a Senior; A. Martino, a Junior; and William Scully, a Sophomore. Other members consisted of all the various home room chairmen of the school. During the year, a conference was held in this school, in which all student cabinets of Central Massachusetts met. At this meeting, Richard Seuss was elected president of the Central Massa- chusetts Association. By selling candy at Doyle Field during the L. H. S. Football Games last fall, the Cabinet helped in raising funds for the new band uniforms. (39) TerleEiMeA GN Gel Press Glink This school year a new Press Club was formed to take the place of the former school weekly, the Blue Book. The news gathered each week by this club was published in the Saturday edition of the local newspaper, the Leominster Enterprise. The club was segregated into the definite groups of the editing staff, the reporting staff, and the typing staff. Their work was so organized that all the news of the week was completed during the club meeting period on Thursday morning. The members were: Editor—Erna V. Lawton.

The meetings throughout the year were comprised of varied programs consisting of lectures, folk songs, dances, recitations, plays, anecdotes, games and guignol representations. In December, Betty Foss offered her hospitable home for a very lovely Christmas meeting. Mme. Benoit, president of the Alliance Francaise, gave a causerie on the Christmas customs in Canada. There was a joint meeting with the French club of Gardner in April when some extremely amusing guignol plays were presented by the members of both clubs. An outstanding feature of this year’s accomplishments was an interest manifested by the club members in the F. I. D. A. C., an interallied war relief committee caring for those in need in Europe. Considerable clothing was sent overseas at Christmas time and a generous financial contribution was made in May. ; The club purchased a radio-phonograph, which was used in the regular French classes as well as in the club. Many projects were willingly undertaken to provide the necessary capital for the activities mentioned above. The spirit of co-operation and friendliness manifested among the members made the year one of the most enjoyable in the club’s existence. (42) Te bleber MeAr Gene. Glee Clubs The Boys’ Glee Club was made up of a group of boys under the supervision of Miss Lucille Brown, with club officers who helped Miss Brown with her programs. The officers were as follows: President—Norman Kaake. Vice-President—Walter Wallace. Secretary—Gerard Millette. Librarian—Vincent Tiberio. Pianist—Kay Metros. The members put on several programs during the year, but the most popular one was the annual Leominster-Fitchburg Joint Concert, which was held at Fitchburg on April 12. Several boys furnished musical entertainment this year for our weekly Thursday morning sings. Other performances were for the Speech Club and the music and art program, in which all the male singers were members of the Boys’ Glee Club. The Club practised “Faust”? and “Home On The Range” in four-part harmony for some time. The Girls’ Glee Club has enjoyed a successful year. During the first half of the year all club periods were devoted to the rehearsals of the operetta ‘‘False Fernando.” Three perform- ances were presented: December 15, at the senior high school; December 16, at the junior high school; and January 9th in the Fitchburg High School. The members of the Glee Club were luncheon guests after the operetta in Fitchburg. “Our Heritage of Music and Painting,” a presentation of the music and art departments of the junior and senior high schools, on March 15, also demanded the attention of the club. Miss Brown organized a vested choral group composed of members from the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. This group took part in the Annual Fitchburg and Leominster Joint Concert, April 12, in Fitchburg. (43) ee: AN aN ee) bral Group This year Miss Brown formed a vested choral group consisting of twenty-four members. This four-part chorus sang ‘“‘Monastery Garden” at the Fitchburg-Leominster Joint Concert. They also appeared at Doyle Field during the bicentennial celebration, where they sang “The Glorious Name of Washington” and ‘Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes.” (44) Tepe MeAeG NIE AT Ovndbesiin The Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Lucille Brown, had a very successful year, and contributed music for many school events. Among these were the Annual Better Speech Contest; the production, ‘‘Our Heritage of Music and Painting;”’ the Fitchburg-Leominster Joint Concert; and graduation exercises. Small groups composed of orchestra members rendered selections at the Thursday Musical meetings, and at various clubs outside the school. Miss Virginia Farnum was concert mistress, and Thelma McGillvrary was librarian. (45) — [bikie gina. (Em Ne eit Art Club The Art Club this year consisted of twenty-two members. Rena Toni was president. The secretary-treasurer was Janet Kavanaugh. The members made etchings and Christmas cards; they painted wooden trays and bowls. Many of the girls cut felt figures and flowers, which they put on silver backgrounds for belts. Other girls designed their belts with wool. Some boys made many pastel drawings, along with water-color work; others specialized in wood carving. (46) TSIM ASG Ne Eel: Stamp Club A new adventure in clubs in Leominster High School was started in the middle of the school year when a stamp club was organized through the efforts of Dewey Cole, a new member of our student body. The club had a very successful year with a membership of fifteen. The club had many interesting meetings, the high-light of which was a two-hour meeting in our local library. There, the genuine interest in stamp collecting was brought out by the use of lantern slides. Mr. Rogers acted as faculty advisor for this group. The following officers were elected: President—Dewey Cole. Vice-President—Natalie Harrington. Secretary-T reasurer—Beverly Hiltz. (47) Tete IM eA wean (Ey iterator Club The situation abroad curtailed and restricted the activities of The International Club this year. Valued correspondents in European countries are no longer heard from, and repeated messages to them failed to result in any replies. f The International Club is a non-political, non-controversial group, a branch of a world-wide organization of young people existing to promote good-will and understanding through corres- pondence and travel. Work in behalf of young refugees will probably be a considerable part of its activity for the duration of the war. The club held monthly meetings, at which times programs of interest were presented by members and guests, among them travel talks by Coach Charles B. Broderick and Penelope Becrelis, of the Junior Class, whose elementary schooling took place in Greece.

(50) mee ab is (Gp INP TE Ip Girls’ Basketball Another basketball season has come to a close, and the basketball has been put away— never again for the Seniors to throw. At the beginning of this eventful sport term, the classes chose as their leaders the following: Seniors: Doris Gamache. Juniors: Marion Johnson and Dorothy Beers. Sophomores: Rita Discoe. The Seniors were the champions of the season after a thrilling game against the Beer’s Junior team. Congratulations, Seniors, for the exciting season you contributed in the regular L. H. S. style. The not-to-be forgotten Juniors and Sophomores also turned in very good seasons by their sharp-shooting and snappy plays. Members of the Senior varsity included the following: Forwards—Captain D. Gamache, F. Page, D. Thomas, E. Robinson, and M. Houde. The guards were: H. Becrelis, V. Gauthier, R. DiGeronimo, R. Rogers, G. DiNardo, M. Bassett, A. Smith, and M. Thomas. At the beginning of the hockey season, all the athletically-minded girls of the Senior High met on Doyle Field to play the popular game of field hockey. There was a large turnout of this sport from the three classes. Captains were elected as follows: Seniors: Doris Gamache. Juniors: Marilyn Litchfield. Sophomores: Eva Spring. After a series of hard fought games between the classes, the Sophomores were hailed as the victors of the season. The members of the Senior brigade were: Captain D. Gamache, F. Page, D. Thomas, H. Becrelis, R. DiGeronimo, R. Rogers, G. DiNardo, A. Smith, M. Bassett, N. Nettel, R. Toni, S. Weare, and A. Coyle. (51) hinhles IMizay (Gants si Football Our football team again had a banner year under the leadership of those two great coaches, Charlie Broderick and Ted Kucharski. The team of 1939 also defeated our old rival, Fitchburg; thus the dream of beating our arch rival three games in succession came true. Starting the season with four regulars,—namely, Rock, Reynolds, Perreault, and Pagnotta,— the Blue and White Warriors won their first encounter over Johnson High by 26-0. However, on the following Saturday, Leominster found a great deal more opposition in the strong Arlington team. But victory was not to be denied our fighting eleven, for Johnny Bigelow scored on a pass from Roger Robichaud. On the following Saturday, our team went to Everett to receive their only setback of the season. Our boys played their hearts out but were unable to score on the heavier Everett team. Nevertheless, the remainder of the season proved to be more successful. On successive Saturdays, Leominster piled on victories over Worcester South, St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg, Lynn Classical, Clinton, Manchester West, Gardner, and Cambridge Latin. In the last four games just mentioned, our opposition scored only six points. At last came that grand old Turkey Day tilt with our old rival,—Fitchburg. With Tommy Rock as captain, our boys met the Red and Gray, who had had rather a hard luck season. Our team proved to have much more power and scored 18 points to their opponents’ none. Great blocking by our line, and thrilling broken field runs by Bigelow, Reynolds, and Robichaud spelled victory over Fitchburg. Playing their last game for Leominster High were Tommy Rock, Maurice Perreault, Johnny Bigelow, Gunnard Reynolds, Stan Newton, Phil Pagnotta, Joe Carchidi, Louis Picucci, Buster Kelly, Mutt Marchisio, Johnny Di Nardo, Bob Derosier, and Ernest Dantini. Tony Picucci, star guard, also finished his last game for Leominster High. With another great season of football completed, the team of ’389 wishes the team of ’40 the best of luck. (52) Basketball Leominster High’s basketball team again enjoyed a successful season under the able leadership of Coach Charlie Broderick. With veterans such as Frank Sonack, Louis Picucci, John Grinkis, Phil Pagnotta, Rosario Pancare, Tom Smith, Bernie Langlois, and Bill Di Nardo, Leominster won nine out of her twelve games and was invited to play in Western Massachusetts Tournament games at Fitchburg. Starting on December 21, the Blue and White managed to beat the Alumni 41-35. The next game was with a powerful Lowell quintet, and Leominster won its second victory by 38-21. Two more victories were added over Clinton and Hudson by scores of 36-27 and 51-17 respectively. Next, Leominster trounced a fast Gardner five that had had a fine schedule of wins until they met the Blue and White. This resulted in a 52-39 beating. After beating Appleton Academy 42-19, Leominster dropped a hard fought game to St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg to the tune of 36-25. Next came another victory over Gardner by the score of 50-38. Leominster beat St. Bernard’s on their own floor in a wild game which was a 33-23 victory. The Blue and White, however, lost a heart-breaker to Watertown by a score of 39-38. Leominster’s last home game proved another victory over Marlboro by a score of 35-28. On February 22, Leominster traveled to Fitchburg where they lost a rather disappointing game to a fighting Red and Gray quintet. Our boys just didn’t have their-eye. Perhaps, too, the new kind of basket bothered them. The final outcome was 59-28 in favor of Fitchburg. However, because of their good work against Gardner, Lowell, and St. Bernard’s, Leominster was invited to the Tournament games in Fitchburg. Northbridge was Leominster’s foe; and these Northbridge boys, who had won 21 out of 22 games, could not be denied victory. After a furious game, Leominster lost by 50-37. Frank Sonack was the big noise for the Blue and White with 128 points. He was closely followed by John Grinkis, center, with 101 points.

With veterans such as Grinkas, Fraelic, L. Picucci, C. Falconer, R. Bailey, Leominster’s Blue and White had good material around which to build a good team. Other members of this team were Robichaud, Small, T. Smith, Pancare, Pignotta, and Marchisio. Although some games were canceled on account of rain, there were tilts with Fitchburg, Gardner, Clinton, Marlboro, and St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg. (54) ides SMA) YAN 1G INES Track With five letter men for a nucleus, Track Coach Stanley Burnham turned out a strong team this year. Letter men who led the team to victory were Tom Rock, Gunnard Reynolds, John Di Nardo, John Bigelow, and George Kelley. Meets were held with Concord, Gardner, Fitchburg, Lexington, Marlboro, and St. Bernard’s. Much interest was shown in track this year, and all the meets were well attended.
