LEST WE FORGET kkk .oon we of the Class of 1945 will be waving L. H. S. for the last time. Behind us we will leave a most interesting and glorious part of our lives. Some of us will go on to college to further our studies; others will go to work; still others will go off to join some service to fight for this beloved land of ours. No matter what we take up after our school days are over we will all have a common goal to drive for and that is to succeed at whatever task we undertake. Who started us on our glorious careers? Our school teachers. How often we take our teachers and their work for granted. We should not. Why? Simply because without teachers we would have no schools. The public schools are the foundation of our country’s greatness, and our country is run by the people. We will soon become those people on whom our country’s might relies. You ask how we can repay our teachers for their work. It is very simple; we only have to show our teachers more considera- tion for their unselfish devotion to our educa- tion and welfare. Also, we can be more willing to do our assignments when they are given to us and do them without a grumble, for, after all, teachers know best. If they didn't they wouldn't be in front of the classroom endeavoring to teach us what they know. We should always think of our teachers not as ‘'slave-drivers’’ who are in school to make us miserable, but as friends who are trying to make us better men and women through education. Lest we forget our teachers let us be more considerate of them now and forevermore. LB allel

LUCY BARBARA ANGELINI “And the Angels Sing.”’ Lucy, otherwise known to her friends as “Ange”, has taken the General ‘Course throughout her three years in high school. In her sophomore and junior years, she was a member of the Sports Club and participated in many sports; such as, wolley ball, softball, and basketball. She is interested in all sports, especially swimming and skating. Lucy’s hobby is collecting pictures of band leaders. Her favorite band- leader is Louie Prima. Betty Grable and Humphrey Bogart are her favorite movie stars. The subject she likes best is typewriting. You will find her wherever there’s music, because she enjoys dancing more than anything else. Most of Lucy's time is spent working and writing to service men. After finishing high school, Lucy would like to work in an office. PHYLLIS VERONICA ANGELINI “You're Wonderful.”’ Phyllis Angelini, alias Phyl, is the MAGNET Advertising Manager. She has done a great deal to help with the publication of this yearbook by collecting glossies and sending them to the printer. Thanks to Phyllis and a few friends, we are all here in this book. In addition to this club activity, she studies Italian and bookkeeping. Italian is spoken at her home on South Street, and she enjoys it very much. Another activity that is “tops’’ with Phyllis is dancing. This ties in with her favorite hobby, which is collecting recordings of all the popular songs by famous musicians. We believe that Phyllis holds one of the most interesting collections of any student in Leominster High School. During the summer months she spends her time bicycle riding. Phyllis has a pleasing personality. She is always ready to help someone even though she is sometimes pressed for time herself. Her friendly smile and obliging manner are her two outstanding characteristics. After knowing Phyllis for a few minutes anyone would agree that she really is a “pal” indeed. She has made the Honor Roll many times in the past and has taken the Commercial Course in her four years of high school. She believes in being fully prepared to take over an office job. Best of luck to you, Phyllis. ANTHONY ANTONUCCI “Semper Paratus’’ “Babe” Antonucci is one of the most outstanding personalities of the class of 1945. After he left Lancaster Street School, Babe went to junior high, where his potentialities for leadership showed up for the first time. Anthony was elected president of junior high when he was in the ninth grade. Since then, Babe has been called forth a number of times to lead his classmates. In his junior year in high school he was again elected presidents of his class, while at the same time he excelled in football, basketball, and a tough curriculum. Besides all this, Babe found enough spare time to blow his trumpet in the L. H. S. orchestra. This senior, with his keen mind and winning ways, will certainly find happiness and success in the coming years. Here’s wishing lots of luck to one grand kid.
