He is right of course but there’s no getting away from the fact that the loss of some people is felt for a long time. A note of instructicn put into the mail box of a top-notch teacher furnished th inspiration for this editorial. As the writer put that note in the mail box he said to himself, ‘“ There now, I can forget that’’. Does your boss say that when he tells you to do something? If hey does, you are as near to being indispensable as any of us can hope to be. Executives like smart employees, yes. They iv skilled workers of course. They expect them to get along well with other people. But the worker who stands head and shoulders above the others is the one to whom the boss can give an order and then forget it. Any foreman, office manager, or executive will tell you that he has to spend a tremendous amount of time just following up orders he has given. Dependability is not something which can be put on like a coat whenever you think there is need for it. It has to be a part of you like your skin. It has to be built into your character step by step, deed by deed. TODAY you are making the worker who will be kept cn the job when the post-war depression begins. Little things like remembering to return make-up slips, report cards and warning cards go to make up your dependability just as surely as snowflakes make up a ski slope. You really mean to remember but you're just naturally absent-minded? BOSH!! If you really want to do a thing, do it now or write yourself a note about it. The mere act of writing helps you to fix the matter in your mind. Never be without a notebook and pencil. WRITE IT DOWN. Maybe you can’t get on the honor roll but you can be more indispensable than many an honor graduate if your bess can give you an order and sa‘, “There now, I can forget that.”’ ' Dae Our Resolve The class of 42 has at last come to the end of its schooling in Leominster. Ve have been together too long to feel regret at finally parting, but yet, we are all cager to f ace the greater problems of life. The pathway before this class is not too bright. The world situation is a mess, but we shculd b used to messes. We have had to face both depressions and war during our school days, with very little time between them. In spite of these and other troubles along the way, however, we have always cheerfully met each problem. If the difficulty was not overcome, the reason was never a lack of effort. Now, we face our greatest problem. The prospects are that this will be a long war in which most of us will eventually become involved in ene way or another. We should remember always that the free institutions of this naticn made possible our education. Our class has had some failures. Because of our pre-cccupaticn and lack of interest, a great many events which should have been successes were failures. However, it was proved time and time again that when the class made up its mind to put over something, that event was a success. It is regrettable that this co-operation was not forthcoming far more often. With all the unhappiness behind and ahead of us, we are apt to forget our blessings. We had many. Our class was fortunate enough to have had fine teachers throughout our schooling. Their unselfish guidance and advice did much to increase our enjoyment within the classroom. We had, also, the opportunity of working while attending high school. This has given us the opportunity not only of gaining vocational training, but also of putting some of our school and social lessons into practice. Now, we go out into the world. We have but one resolve: we will overcome everything which stands in the way of our country’s welfare. If we hold to this high purpose, we must not, we will not, we shall not fail Lc tse GRADUATING CLASS CLASS OFFICERS Age Libby Henriq ves Boh Cormier + Barb Lavin ROBERT E.

THARLER “With wisdom in mind.” Three years in high school have brought Stan two memorable experiences. The first and probably the biggest thrill was his when he was awarded the American Legion Medal for his essay about democracy during his junior year. He was a participant in Better Speech Contest in his sophomore year and again in his senior year, at which time he was given honorable mention for the evening. He was a member of Speech Club’s debate team in his first year of high school. He has always held some office in his homeroom. He was a rather inactive member of our 1941 tennis team because work called him away from practice as well as from other extra-curricular activities. However, it has not prevented him from being a consistent member of the Honor Roll. Stan finds that the uncertain conditions today have made it rather difficult to plan his future and therefore he is quite undecided about his plans. , JEAN F.

Her greatest ambition, she claims, is to be a ‘Blues Singer,’’ and she has entertained at various “‘Sings’’ during the year. Time does not permit her to be present at club meetings; consequently, they are left out in the cold. Coming from Clinton (Our Enemies?) , she has pursued a General Course and hopes directly after school to enter the Telephone Business. Everything seems to be taken in her stride, the good as well as bad, but her favorite hobby is studying History. (We wonder if Mr. Burnham agrees.) Regularly on Sunday afternoon she goes to her favorite sport, roller skating. She takes the bumps and takes them hard, but who cares! She'll reach the top, and L. H. S. wishes her all the luck in the world. WILLIAM W. VINAL “Had we his wisdom.” William Vinal is better known to most as ‘“‘Bill.’’ His greatest ambition is to become an aeronautical engineer.

MATTHEWS “Thy golden beams of joyful light, my Marte.’’ Marie took the Classical Course throughout her three years in high school. Her favorite subject is English. She believes it will be of more value to her than any other subject she studied because whatever she does and wherever she goes she will need to be able to speak and write English correctly. Because she has been interested in all forms of public speaking since she first started attending school, Marie belonged to Speech Club during her three years in high school. In her sophomore year she was a member of the cast of ‘‘Liberty and Union,’’ a pageant presented for the benefit of English children. During her junior year she took part in a humorous play presented before the Daughters of Isabella. In this same year she had the honor of being chosen best actress at Interclass Play Contest. Marie’s favorite sports are swimming, skating and dancing. a Se ia Ful That selfsame war had entered its second year when we were beckoned back to school. I could say we answered the call gleefully, happy to be Juniors, but I won't, for I want this to be as truthful and accurate a report as possible. We soon fell into the routine of things. There were frootbail games every Saturday, and the school seemed to hum every Monday with talk of how the game should have been played and where the coach made his big mistake. But it was all in fun, for that year we had a good team whose lineup was well represented by the Junior class. This was 1940, the year of our great presidential elections. The world waited intent for the results. The fu- ture of America might hang in the balance as each vote was cast. But Roosevelt did it again and became our first third term president. Meanwhile, at L. H. S. we were doing a little electing ourselves but not quite with the same results. Frank De Pasquale tailed to gain a second term and retired in favor of Jack Curley, and Liz Henriques took over the vice presidency; but Tom Kilcoyne and Rita Discoe survived the cabinet shake up and remained in the capacity of secretary and treasurer respectively. While our Junior boys were busy losing every inter- mural event that presented itself, the girls again took mat- ters in hand and captured the volleyball and softball championships with teams captained by Joan Killelea and Eva Spring. However, we really showed that we had the stuff to win during the interclass play contest. When the final results were tabulated, the Junior class had come off on top, not only by having the best play of the evening but also the best actress, Marie Mathews. The play, ‘‘Maid of Domremy,’’ and the entire cast went on to represent the school in the state dramatic competition. May 16 and our first prom! The evening was fair and fragrant, the hall colorfully decorated, and the music, soft and lilting. In general, a good time was had by all, but, mercenary class that we are, we would have liked to see a little more of that ‘green stuff’’ come rolling in. We decided to have our Senior officers elected before Vacation; consequently another election found another shake up. And this democratic revolution found Robert Cormier, president; Liz Henriques, vice president; Dewey Cole, secretary; and Barbara Lavin, treasurer. Historians always seem to diplomatically brevify th ir own shortcomings; therefore, let us discreetly and de- murely pass over our first class fight —- with the comment that the weather was fair; the attendance, good, and - casualties, few. “LT hé weeks of vacation slipped by in their eternal race of time, and school opened on the third of September, accompanied by loud complaints that Roosevelt ought to do something about Labor Day. We watched our team play every Saturday, for it was truly our t eam, from end to end, and all through the back field, — Seniors, all. And we were more proud of their 14-13 defeat by Lynn than of their overwhelming victories over Gardner and Clinton. But We lost to Fitchburg, so the season was termed a failure. ‘However, even before the disaster at Doyle Field, our class won praise and recognition, when our speakers com- pletely swept the field of competition at the Better Speech Contest. Medals of honor were presented to Charles Richard- son dnd Marilyn Brotheim as we took all three places for the evening. And the Senior prom also helped to take our minds off the Thanksgiving game. We were blessed with a beautiful late autumn evening which supplemented the colorful decorations and pleasing music. The crowd pitched in and had a grand time in their cfforts to simulate an old fashion square dance. (P. S. — Still short on the silver certificates.) But now football and proms were done, and each weekend brought us nearer to Christmas vacation. At least, that is what most of us were thinking as we left school on Friday, the fifth of December. But that weekend brought us all nearer to fate. When we returned on Monday there was tension in the air and a seriousness more profound than we had ever known, as we sat in the assembly hall and heard President Roosevelt deliver his brief, concise declara- tion of war upon Japan. And now the war was with us. But save for a few enjoyable air raid drills, school activities continued as usual and plans were made by the Seniors to stage one of the biggest undertakings any class had ever attempted for the Interclass Play Contest. The large cast worked feverishly in rehearsals, and their ambition was duly rewarded when ‘The Devil and Daniel Webster’ won first place at the contest. This marked the second consecutive year in which our class came out on top. Then came ur class play, and here the war showed its effect. It has always been a policy to include as many members of the class as possible in Senior play, but the supply of talent was drastically reduced because so many of our classmates were working afternoons. However, one tradition was maintained, that of presenting a new and orig- inal play. Our class produced ‘‘The World Is With Us,”’ which marked the premier performance of that play in this country. Our thoughits now turned to graduation. As we sat listening to the programs, we noticed hushed sad- ness throughout the audience. And as we watched each classmate receive his diploma in turn, we recalled the words of Virgil, which we had labored to translate, ‘Hic labor extremus, haec viarum meta longarum’’ (This is the final toil, the end of the long journey). For many, school days are over. Friends whom we have known so long are now departed, each to his own task. But then we must not think of graduation as the end, for, in reality, it is the begin- ning of that long journey down the highway of life. See Pans. fe CLASS WILL | We, the Class of 1942 at Leominster High School, in the County of Worcester, and State of Massa- chusetts, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills, and Codicils by us made.

CLASS PROPHECY One could see no signs of threatening clouds in the sky on this never-to-be-forgotten day of June 17, 1962. This day was just like the one twenty years ago when we marched solemnly down the aisles to r-ceive our hard earned diplomas. This was a day of days. On this date we had planned to travel to Washington, D. C. where we would meet the other members of our class who had by this time traveled far in their fields of endeavor. Everyone today, though, had agreed to cast aside his respective duties in order to renew old acquaintances and memories. We assembled at Monument Square, the center and the busiest section of the city of Leominster, where four buses were awaiting their passengers. Greeting the early arrivers was Natalino Cacciotti, head bus driver, not to mention the other drivers, Mario Fini, Armand Prue, and Roger Page, who were all attired in snappy uniforms shown in the latest edition of ‘‘Monsieur’’ magazine. As we looked inside the bus we could see Elio Di Paoli, treasurer of the First National Bank and president of the Leominster Chamber of Commerce, scolding his private secretary, Betty Brown, who was clad in a stunning blue suit, for not having brought her dictation notebook with her, over Betty’s protests that this was to be a pleasure trip. Incidentally, Miss Brown's suit was purchased at Nimee’s Department Store on 3rd Avenue, where Ruth Nimee, head buyer, selected the attire for Betty. Arlene Desmond and Nancy Green came together, attired in snappy gymnastic outfits. They are running the popular gymnasium for women. We hear that all the girls gather there to streamline their health and beauty. Lillian Lamoreaux and Florence Pollastri, telephone operators at the local exchange, could be seen walking down Main street approaching the bus. Shortly after, we saw Anne Amorosi, Olga Di Nardo, Grace Curry, Eliza- beth McDowell, Lucille Hume, Marie Goodale, Doris Friske, Malvina Piermarini, Agnes Port, Edith Prencipe, Juanita Woods, Ruth Gillis, Flora Gould, Victoria Pagnotta, and Natalie Sawyer, registered nurses of the Leom- inster Hospital, chaperoned by E. Beverly Buck, head nurse, who achieved great fame for her services rendered during the recent earthquake here. Also displayinz great medical talent were Dr. Jchn J. Curley, Jr., and Dr. Richard L. Smith, with medical secretaries Betty Goodwin, Mar garet Patten, and Elizabeth Henriques, to say nothing of that famous brain surgeon, Dr. Bruno Di Pace, who came down from New York with his three assistants, Bernice Di Giovanni, Cecelia Flanagan, and Helen Rogers, to perform a very delicate operation on Thomas Kilcoyne, Attorney-at-Law, who was injured during the recent tumble. We now saw approaching Monument Square Marion Martel, Barbara Lavin, Joan Killelea, Margaret Sullivan, Gladys Senecal, Esther Wood, Jean Thompson, followed by Robert Beauregard, Henry Dunwoody, and Russell Cook, all efficient teachers of Leominster High School, who have replaced those tres intelligentes instructors who have retired from the very hectic life of teaching. The last group to enter the bus before we departed on this long journey was the Machinists’ Organization, consisting of Paul Algier, Norman Basque, Howard Carey, Kenneth Cummings, Alfred McCaffrey, Richard Howard, Raymond Emery, Percy Senee, and John De Libro, with their union president and master-minded mechanic (please note the alliteration) Arthur Pierce. And so on our way. The travelers waved a cheery good-bye to Lawrence Eaton, who just rang the doorbell at the residence of the former Doris Martin. Larry, a recognized and definitely successful traveling sales- man (it couldn't be the technique, could it?) is now affiliated with the ‘‘Less Work for Little Woman.’’ His aim is to please—and please he does. He takes his orders from co-managers Louise Chase and Barbara Whitehead, who have proven themselves very successful in that field of business. Because of the great appetite of John McNaney, honorably discharged from the United States Air Corps, our first stop was made in Sun Valley, Connecticut, where we stopped at a very attractive roadside diner owned and operated by Edward J. Palumbo, who now has a staff of five, namely Mary Ashe, Constance Marini, Joyce Ellis, Ruth Foster, and Bessy Fiffy. Just before leaving, our busses were checked by the ‘‘U Break Em — We Fix ’Em”’ Auto Garage Co., operated by Tony Chiurri and Richard Altobelli. Dick draws the crowd by his vocal renditions while wiping the windshields, and we are happy to report that business is just buzzing. Natalino started the head bus once more and did not stop until we reached New York. Oh, I forgot to mention, Nat was driving too fast on a fifty mile limit, and he get a ticket for speeding from Sergeant Norman Rheault, who was handling the traffic in front of the Palace (A‘zr Conditioned) Thzatre where “Today I Am a Woman,” a thece-bell picture, written by Jean Roberta Spettigue, a well-known figure in the field of literature, is showing. This picture introduces to the screen fads the talented Rhoda Rodney (Elaine R. Weinbaum in real life). Every- one is talking about this movie because it features gowns by La Eisner and coiffeurs by Miss Ann Gizzi. Our ride was a long one, so someone in the bus turned on the radio, and a voice, a sobbing, sad, melancholy voice was picked up on station FOO. We immediate y recognized the voice. It was Robert Cormier’s. The announcer, Stanley Tharler, later informed us that Robert Cormier could be heard over this same station three nights a week at the same time. Robert Cormier’s progrim was sponsored by “Wig and Toupee, Inc.’’ and two hours of mysterious and weary entertainment would be presented. From the reports of others we under- stand that his programs actually make your hair stand on end. We had to shut off the radio for a while because one of the passengers got bus sick. But we had no cause to worry for Dr. Louis Simeoni, practicing physician in Leominster, had the situation well taken care of in a short while. The ride was long, but no one seemed to mind because we were entertained by Barbara Kingsbury, now a singing teacher, who led the group in singing the tunes we used to sing in ‘42. We reached New York soon after with about six hours to kill before plane time. Just enough time to take in a show and dinner. The theater was crowded when we arrived, but we were shown to our special reserved seats by the manager, Bernard Padonle, himself. The play was none other than “‘My Heart Is On Fire,”’ written by that now famous playwright, Rosy Di Pillo, and starring none other than our own Charlotte James, who has gone a long way on Broadway since we last saw her. On our way out to dinner we met Marilyn Broth:im and Thelma MacGillvray, star reporters for the New York Times, who joined us for dinner. We approached the “Club 13” just in time to see Dieco Pignatta bouncing out two of his very boisterous customers. Die:o greeted us warm-heartedly and saw to it that we received the best of service. We were entertained by Al Piermarini’s nationally known orchestra, featuring Dotty Tucker, blues singer, as a special attraction. During one of the numbers, the band featured Vincent Tiberio, who thrilled the onlookers with his modern and unique ‘‘saxophone arrangement’’ of one of the latest hits. ichard De Carolis (now known as Ricardo De Cortez) displayed his rhythm when he went into his latest dance sensation, the Swan Dance. : Jean Warncr, Robert Shorey, and Mar-e Matthews, all commercial artists for a large advertising concern, came in to say hello just before we left. They expres;ed their regrets for not being able to come down to Washington with us, but their work prevented them from doing so. Seeing us off at the airport were: Jerry Appleton, Dorothy St. Denis, and Marion Zwicker, n w head buyers at Mord’s, and Saylor’s, and Cacy’s respect- ively; George Carchidi, successful lawyer; Eleanor O-vdway, chiropodist (foot doctor to you), and Lucille Ouellette, photo painter for the Johnson Studios in N:w York. Showing us to our seats was air-hostess Ruth Mosse, assisted by co-pilots, Russ Miller and Dewey Cole. Supervising was none other than Cap. John Hankard. The trip was full of unexpected thrills, for Dewey aid Russ couldn't seem to keep awake. Pilot Cole had been up before dawn to milk the cows on his farm and Russ Miller had been guest of a Women’s Society where he had been adopted as their “hero of the heavens.”’ (How sweet!) When we landed in the Washington airport we were very much excited, for the president himself, George Loring Thurlow, and his wife, ??? were in line to greet us. President G. L. Thurlow was attired in a piscatorial ensemble for he was going fishing as soon as he could g:t away. Mrs. Thurlow welcomed us in a beautiful black dr ss, which was designed by Miss Eileen Haley, who incidentally, does all of her clothes. Ruth Palmer is responsible for the various new coiffures which Mrs. Thurlow exhibits, and which all the nation is trying to copy. The whole group was taken to the White House where guest rooms had been prepared by the maid, Jean McAskill. After we had freshened up we went downstairs for lunch, prepared by the head dieticians, Mary Saladini, Pat Rist and Arlene Hanson, and served by Elinor Richardson, waitress, internationally recognized as the best, having obtained her experience in Buckingham Palace. During lunch we heard an unmistakable sound of children upstairs. Mrs. G. Loring Thurlow Jr. explained that her two naughty children were misbehaving again, and that governess, Evelyn Blanchard, was probably serv:ng deserved punishment on them. After lunch we were introduced to the President’s employees. Imagine our surprise when we learned that William Bonville was serving as the president's chauffeur! He explained that this was just a sideline, and that he was really quite a pilot. Lorraine Bonin, secretary to the first lady of the land, was in thenext room, typing Mrs. Thurlow’s column “My Week.” Theresa Morin, Delvina Casacca, Ruth Cosseboom, Concetta Dandini and Marjorie Carter, all white collar girls, were getting ready for the reunion. They were anticipating talking over old times with Alba Bisceglia, Cecil Bolduc, Gladys Bouvier and Myrtle Brown, former classmates, who had gone far in the business world. Rev. Vincent Billotta, the faithful Missionary Priest was also a guest at the President's Home, but was unable to stay very long because he was to leave soon to preach to the Boogie Woogie Natives of ‘Boogie Beat,”’ a newly discovered island. This unknown land had been accidentally discovered by the noted sportsman Frederick Garrity while he was sailing the South Seas. Late in the afternoon we assembled in one of Washington's largest halls, the decorations of which were planned by Dorothy Ward and Natalie Harrington (flowers donated with the compliments of the Lorne Lagoy Flower Shop.) There we talked over old times with John Ashton, Donald Campbell, Emery Leger, Bob Pickford, David Wright, William Lawler, Dennis Lamy, and Edward O'Neil, who flew down from Pensacola especially to be with us. We were surprised to see William Hart, captain of the Battleship Maine. The news broadcast had reported this ship lost in a storm at sea, but we were confident that Bill would get through, and he did not fail us. With him he brought along Herbert Sanborn and Albert Weaver, radio technicians in the Navy, who, by the way, looked very snappy in the traditional uniforms. Richard Vorse and Kenneth Hitchcock, also sea-lovers, were unable to attend because of a previous date. (A girl in every port! ) ; Looking over towards the entrance we noticed two handsome looking men attired in the uniforms of the Marines. They were no other than Henry Tibery and Harold Senee. William Vinal and James Sweeney, engineers, came together and brought along their blueprints, showing the plan of the construction of a Bridge across the Great Lakes. They brought this blueprint along to show it to Russell Shattuck, who, we understand, has great influencein Washington. Russell is planning to enter into politics in the near future because he realizes that he is in great demand as an office holder. The late arrivals were Doris Collette, secretary to Adolph Rocca, president of U.S. Airlines; Rita Comeau and Kathleen Darcy, who are working for the Governor of Massachusetts, Raymond La Pierre; and Helyn and Martha Dressler, both secretaries to two well known lawyers of New York. Lidio Di Nardo, who now is head stenographer in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has quite a few helpers who were in the class of '42; namely, Rose Franciose, Beverly Hiltz, Corinne Hiltz, Shirley Johnson, Margaret Mino, Eva Spring, who were all present to take part in the festivities. Sam Della Chiarre, radio commentator, could now be seen trying to quiet the very boisterous group so that he might begin the program consisting of speakers and musical entertainment. He first introduced Frank De Pasquale, professional basketball player, whose voice began to crack as he talked of the years he spent in Leominster High School, as was the case with Elaine Evans, radio actr.ss. But to brighten things up a bit, Charles Richardson, first trumpeter in the Washington Symphony Orchestra, played ‘ The Glow Worm,’’ accompanied by Muriel Wein- baum, great concert pianist, while Phyllis Gagnon gave us the vocals. Helen Smith, who cancelled an important theater engagement to be with us, favored us by doing one of the many dances which she has popularized. Herbert Peaslee, head coach at Jones College for boys, then gave us a short description comparing sports o. 1942 with those of 1962. Carl Leroy Tibery, Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Intelligentia Institution of Technology, gave us quite a lengthy account of Law. He revolutionized and amazed the world by breaking the atoms. Quoting from his speech, “There was nothing to it, friends; there was nothing to it.”’ After the welcoming speeches had been given, everybody just wandered around, renewing old acquaintances, Paul- ine Joy, Grace Padovano, Ada Refrigeri, Irene Tourigny, Antonetta Tata, and Rita Stacey, all very efficient stenogra- phers employed by the War Department, were looking over the ‘‘men in uniforms.’’ Suddenly shouts of glee were heard as Theresa Malo and Rachel DeLisle, dental hygienists in the great metropolis of Chicago, came in. Irene Cun- ningham (housewife) and Bernice Chesborough came together. Bernice works in a small town in Ohio, where she is the only hairdresser. Also arriving late were Leo Kershaw, John Lambert, and William Thompson, very prominent chemical en- gineers, who were waving cheery hellos to Frank Del Giudice, who is the president of a chain of drug stores scattered throughout the country, and Henry (Bull Moose) Gould, who is a radio technician. (I wonder if he needs History in this job?) It was getting very late now and everybody was beginning to feel the strain of the journey and the excitement at seeing old friends. So let us leave them, these heppy (pardon me, I mean Happy) people, at this point. All of them, members of the Class of '42 in Leominster High School, have gone far in their chosen fields. They are proud of their accomplishments and of their contributions to society thus far. The teachers of L. H. S. would certainly be pleased to see them on this day, for they would see intelligent, grown-up individuals, and they would be repaid for their trouble and efforts.

The sophomores, juniors, and seniors collaborated to put out the magazine at Christmas time. The sophomores and juniors were in charge of the spring issue. Senior mem- bers of the staff, as well as other members of the Senior Class, were responsible for this graduation, or yearbook, edition. In addition to serving the school with a literary magazine, the Magnet sponsored an informal dance in October. Members of the staff studied ways of bettering their school magazine by attending the meetings of the C.M.I.- P.A., which is an organization of literary inclined pupils. Meetings were held in Littleton and Gardner. As a result of their work, the members hope that they gave the school a magazine of which it can well be proud. The heads of the departments during the past year were as follows: Editor—Loring Thurlow °42 Special Features—Barbara Lavin '42 Assistant Editors—Andrew Carter ‘43 Literary—Rosy DiPillo '42 Clitten Tisdale 43 Photography—Vincent Bilotta '42 Alumni—Robert Roberson ‘43 Art—Marcia Potter 43 Jokes—Leo Kershaw ‘42 Business Manager—Leroy Tibery °42 Assistant Business Manager—Delvina Casacca 42 Subscription Manager—Rachel DeLisle ’42 Winer ney.

This was the first time in the three years’ existence of the Press Club that members were only girls. Mr. Leon Drury Jr., Mr. Henry Fenton, and Mr. John F. Joyce, Jr., were faculty advisors. Officers for the year were: Louise Chase, Editor-in-Chief Ruth Cosseboom, Senior Editor Katharine Parcher, Junior Editor Barbara Curley, Sophomore Edttor The purpose of the club was two-fold: The members aimed to present to the student body and their parents an up-to-date and accurate resume of the activities of the school, and, by fulfilling this purpose, the school reporters received valuable journalistic experience and knowledge. : The school news appeared in the ‘“‘Leominster Daily Enterprise’ weekly, on Saturday. Committees were held each Monday during activity period, with two afternoons, Wednesday and Thursday, be- ing set aside as editing afternoons. The Press Club was an active member of the Central Massachusetts Interscholastic Press Association, and sent delegates to the meetings regularly. THE STUDENT CABINET On September 11, 1941, the cabinet had its first meeting of the year. The officers who were elected were: Frederick Garrity, President; Mario Fini, Vice-President; Jean Thompson, Secretary; and John Lowe, Treasurer. One of the outstanding achievements of this group was their work for defense. They sold defense saving stamps one day a week from January to June. The student cabinet sponsored the showing of afternoon moving pictures. These pictures were shown twice each month. The cabinet also sponsored a project to improve order and appearance in the cafeteria. In January, a group of students went to the Sectional Student Council Meeting in Southbridge with Mr. Davis. The students who went were: Jean Thompson, Doris Bourgoin, Evelyn Gelinas, John Lowe, and William Harri- son. The faculty advisors of the Cabinet are Mr. Davis and Mr. Ccburn. Hi Preset tu 1 THE FRENCH CEEE: This year was a very active one for the French Club. Supervised by Mrs. Miriam Bucknell, the first meeting was held in the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Green’s home. Officers elected for the year were: Prestdent—Charles Richardson Vice Prestdent—Rachel DeLisle Secretary—Louise Chase T reasurer—Barbara Lavin The second meeting of the club was held at the home of Nancy Green, where the members again enjoyed a weinie roast. Charles Richardson handed in his resignation, because of the fact that he had accepted a position which would require a great deal of his time. Robert Beauregar 1 was elected to take his place. Pencils with the football schedule printed on them, Christmas cards, stationery, and face tissues were sold by the members this year, and a successful food sale was held a- DeLisle’s Curtain Shop in November. Robert Beauregard opened his home to the French C.ub for a very festive Christmas Party, which was greatly enjoyed. In February the French Club sponsored the moving picture ‘“The Man Who Came to Dinner.’’ A Valentine party was also enjoyed. In May the French Club was invited to attend a joint meeting with the French Clubs from Fitchburg, Lun- enburg, West Boylston, and Cushing Academy at the Girdner High School. A play, ‘“‘Le Foyer Trouve,’’ by Miss Chaffee of Gardner and Mrs. Bucknell of Leominster was presented by the Gardner French Club. Charles Richardson invited the French Club to his home for the final meeting of the year. A special feature was offered the members in the form of French stunts and games. Prizes were given to the winners of the games. THE INTERNATIONAE- CLUB The officers of the International Club for 1942 were: President, Constance Bird; Vice President, William Lawler; Secretary, Doris Martin; Treasurer, Pauline Triggs. The chairman of the executive committee was Georg- ette DeLisle, and the other members were Hester Ward and Raymond LaPierre. The executive committee, whose task was to plan programs for the meetings, arranged some very interesting programs. Some of these were talks by members of the faculty and students of Leominster High School. Mr. Dan- iel Darney’s talk on traveling proved to be worthwhile as well as entertaining. The club also enjoyed talks by two students new to Leominster High School this year, Miss Ada Loyce Smith, and Miss Katherine McCready. Miss Smith’s talk on the South and Miss McCready’s on California were greatly appreciated by members of the club and their guests. Several business meetings were also held. On February 4, 1942, the International Club gave a Quiz Assembly which was enjoyed by members of the fac- ulty and student body. Questions were submitted by the students and faculty members. Defense stamps were awarded to students whose questions were used. The Senior class officers came in first, the Junior class officers second, and four Sophomores, chosen by Mr. Rogers, their class advisor, came in last. The timers were: Seniors, Ruth Foster and Theresa Malo; Juniors, Georgette DeLisle and Pauline Trizgs; Sophomores, Hester Ward and Agnes Tyler.

Also, this year for the first time, the club opened several assemblies with the singing of hymns. The officers of this organization were as follows: President, Jean Thompson: Vice-Pres:dent, Robert Beaure- card; Secretary, Helen Smith (Sr.); and Librarian, Maydee Scheuneman.

Patricia Philips was the accompanist. THE BAND Officers: Co-managers: Robert Beauregard, Charles Richardson Assistant Managers: Eugene Carrescia, Harold Bassett Librarians: Russell Cook, Robert Hanson, Edward Ches Publicity: Esther Wood Secretary: Joyce Ellis The band, under the direction of Mr. Sutcliffe, held rehearsals every Wednesday and Friday. These rehearsals enabled the members to become familiar with new pieces, to improve their playing, and learn how to interpret difficult passages . At this time each member conducted the band in one selection. The band made its appearance at every football game. It furnished music and it put on a performance between the halves. Each spring the band took part in the Annual Fitch burg-Leominster Joint Concert. THE ART CLUB President, Jean Warner Secretary and Treasurer, Gladys Bouvier The Art Club painted designs on wooden bowls, forks, spoons, and salt and pepper shakers. They went on an outdoor sketching tour in the fall. The club worked in pastels and also did some soap carving. The club was given paint from the Commonwealth Plastic Company, so it might learn how to do work in the factories here in Leominster. Then it worked with wood and learned how to use the paint on plastic work. This fine opportunity gave the members training so that they can find work when summer vacation comes and when they graduate. SS S, ul ut THE CAMERA CLUB ; The Camera Club was a new club in the Leominster High School this year. The members took and criticized pictures of the school and of students. Early in the year a photography contest was sponsored by the club. Various guest speakers appeared during the year. Mr. Everett Donnelly served as faculty advisor of the club. The cfficers were as follows: President: Glen Reynolds Vice-president: Natalie Harrington Secretary: Beverly Hiltz THE BIOLOGY CLUB The officers of the Biology Club were as follows: President, David Battye; Vice-President, Olga Di Massa; Secretary, Frank Baker; Treasurer, Mary Wyman. The club, with Miss Burnham as advisor, met in two sections. In the boys’ section were Frank Baker, David | Battye, Warren Blodget, Eugene Bigney, Michael Coccone, and Eugene Taylor. Some things we did at our meetings were microscope work, looking at slide films on birds and animals, and listening to bird song records. The girls’ section worked chiefly on posture, with discussions on diet and other health topics. The members were Bernice Brion, Dorothy Brooks, Katherine Darcy, Olga Di Massa, Ruth Gillis, Mary Goodale, Dorothy Roffee, Dorothy Ward, and Mary Wyman. THE SKI CLUB The ski club held its first meeting cn December eighteenth during activities period. However, since so many members belonged to other clubs regularly meeting during that period, the club voted to mect on Thursday nights. Officers elected at that meeting were William Thompson, president; William Hart, vice-president; Arlene Casey, secretary; and Richard Smith, treasurer. The ways and means committee was made up of Charlotte James, chairman; Barbara Damon, Barbara Whitehead, Thomas Kilcoyne, Ernest Rehor, and Frederick Johnson. The chief purpose of the club was to spread ski-enthusiasm through the school. Also cach member desired to improve his or her skiing ability. This club planned to arrange ski-mecets with other high schools, not as the Leominster High School Ski Team, but as a ski team formed by a group of students attending Leominster High. The first meet took place on Sunday afternoon, Feb:uary fifteenth, at the Sheldon Hill tow. The Leominster club competed against groups from Gardner and Arlington High Schools. The Leominster High contestants were victorious, winning their arst cup. The winning Leominster team was made up of William Thompson, Russell Hem- enway, Fred Garrity, Charlotte James, Barbara Lavin, and Gwendolyn Gavin.

THE FOOTBALL TEAM The Leominster High School football team again had a successful season under the capable guidance of Mr. Charles Broderick end Mr. Theodore Kucharski. The team won six of its ten games, dropping three close ones and tying one. Despite its losses, Leominster remained in the upper half of the Class A team list, which clearly shows the calibre of its opposition. At the close of the season, Dieco Pignata and William Thompson were elected co-captains. THE FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Substitutes for the Sophomores were: Anna DiNardo, Elsie Ostman, Madge Ann Green, Faith Matthews, Gloria Prue, Betty Landers, and Mary Iacaboni. The Sophomores won the field hockey championship this year. The games were played after school on the high school athletic field. In the final game with the Seniors, the Sophomores won by a score of 6 to 5. Members of the Sophomore team were: Helen Smith, Gilda Chiumento, Nancy Wright, Gwendolyn Gavin, Caroline Hathaway, Barbara Curley, Kathleen Becrelis, Dorothy Larkin, Barbara Smith, Mary Simeoni, and Alic Moore. THE BASKETBALL TEAM The 1942 Leominster High School Basketball Team won six games and lost seven games. After a poor start, the team came through and started coming out on the top side of the score. The team was made up mostly of sopho- mores and juniors. As the season advanced, they made rapid improvement and won over several teams which had beaten them in earlier games. Louis Cannavino was high scorer for the year with 95 points. Two of the most exciting games of the season were with St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg. Although Leominster lost both games, they had the St. Bernard's team plenty worried. The score for the first game was 36-26, and for the second game, 38-35. THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The girls’ interclass basketball tournament was held under the supervision of Miss Gerda Johnson in the gym- nasium every Wednesday afternoon during the winter months. The sophomores entered three teams; the juniors, two, and the seniors, one. The senior team, captained by Eva Spring, easily showed its superiority by going unde- feated through the season. The following were the players on the winning senior team: Arlene Desmond, Barbara Lavin, Eva Spring, Pauline Eisner, Peggy Patten, Gladys Senecal, Delvina Casacca, and Betty Goodwin. THE BASEBALL TEAM With such players as Dieco Pignata, Jack Curley, Loren Wass, Don Eaton, Roger Caisse, Frank De Pasquale, Elio DiPaoli, and Dick Smith reporting, Coach Broderick conducted another successful season. Two games were played with Templeton, Gardner, Fitchburg, St. Bernard's, and Clinton. One game was played with Townsend. Due to its greeness, the team did not really get started until the middle of the season. However, it surprised several of its opponents before the close of the year. Several of the best players will be back next season to give Leominster a very good team. THE TRACK TEAM The Leominster High track team entered another successful season with Mr. Edward Tellier replacing Mr. Burnham as coach. Mr. Tellier, who had considerable track experience in high school and college, makes an excellent coach. There was a large turnout of last year’s stars, including Charles D. Cole running the 440, Leo Kershaw high jumping, Bill Thompson and Russ Miller running the dashes, and Jim Prichard broad jumping. Many of the Juniors and Sophomores showed great promise. These boys ought to go places under the coach- ing of Mr. Tellier, and they provide the track teams of the future years. phonsé LEVER ATI Al Pp 42 O) F tASS C hearts dre While our Left us pledge That none, school thats next to nor she has worn, the ho- to - bute -Ttri we'll con tions “ring nd= e've watched the war WwW fess Daeunt- dust, Coun-tries in-To = ing blast 8, Know-ing God is stq -Tion ish stron qe -the To Pull JU Siz with The for OO fas-Ter ban-ners our With Sor Free-domssake.
