We can never forget the contribution he made to the happiness of our school years by the warmth and humor that made him such a fine companion. We know that his school and his class meant a great deal to him; we remember gratefully and with pride his co-operation in many student activities. Although we are saddened by our loss, we all carry in our hearts pleasant memories of Thurston at work and at play with us. As he showed himself a loyal and contributing member of our class and our school, inspired by his influence, we resolve to be equally worthy citizens of the larger community into which we enter as graduates of Leominster High School. APPRECIATION We, the class of 1950, wish to express our indebtedness to the understanding, helpful principal of the Leominster High School — Mr. Dwight S. Davis. He has guided and led us for our entire three years, making our class what we are. We give a unanimous vote of thanks to our principal and _ friend, Mr. Davis. We, of the senior class, will forever be indebted to our noble class advisors, Miss Smith and Mr. Dunlop. They have assisted our class through these never - to - be- forgotten years. Through their efforts, they have made our years in L. H.S. the best. With greatest thanks to them we wish them the happiness which they have brought to us! MR. PERCY DUNLOP MR. DWIGHT 8S. DAVIS, Sr. Principal MISS KATHLEEN SMITH Say, J taught thee. INTRODUCTION The College Course at L. H. S. prepares the students for entrance to any of the major colleges by giving a _ well-balanced course of English, science, mathematics, language, social studies, and physical educa- tion. The Commercial Course offers pupils a chance to become secretaries or accountants. Their course consists of commercial studies and any of the electives which are offered. The Co-operative Curriculum develops the hand skills of the pupils. Members alternate their weeks between vocational school and high school and thus have a chance to participate in outside activities. The first honor roll requires three and one-half A’s: the second, three and one-half B’s, and the third, an average of three and one-half B’s. For his senior graduation, the pupil must have a total of one hundred twenty scholastic points. The major subjects are worth ten points while the electives vary according to their importance. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The various divisions of the English Department attempt to develop in the students the ability to read understandingly, to communicate clearly, pleasantly, and forcefully, and to think intelligently and comprehensively. These factors are brought out by writing unified, coherent, forceful compositions; by reading the works of standard authors of the past and present; by the study and application of grammatical and rhetorical principles; by increasing the vocabulary; and by oral compositions and discussions. PUBLIC SPEAKING The Public Speaking Class enables the student to develop any special talent he 10 Gi 6 WY may have in the mest essential speaking skills. The assignments include student lectures, oral reading of prose and poetry, recitations, the production of several plays, and many special individual projects through- out the school year. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Language Department aims to organise the work so as to prepare the students adequately for entrance to col- leges or scientific schools where standards are exacting. Two-year courses in German, Latin, Italian and a three-year course in French are offered. For the benefit of those students who are not going to college, sufficient material is offered to enable them to enter various professions, hold clerical positions, or to become translators. The department feels that there is no greater advancement made towards world peace than to learn to know various countries through talking and using their languages. PLANE GEOMETRY Plane Geometry is required in preparing for entrance to the majority of colleges because no other subject trains the mind so well in the habits of correct reasoning. The course alms to teach the students: (1) to investigate the facts before drawing con- clusions, (2) to discover relationships which may connect the facts, (3) to base each specific statement on a reliable general principle, (4) to predict the inevitable outcome of given data, and (5) to choose and apply the general rule pertaining to any particular case. This subject gives to the student basic training in systematic creative thinking that helps to get the maximum benefit from the study of other subjects. It also promotes the ability to recognize weak links in false reasoning and to arrive at sound judgments in the every-day world. ulum SOLID GEOMETRY A thorough knowledge of plane geometry is necessary for the mastering of solid geometry; for this subject, which is a must in the field of engineering, develops the ability to visualize, to use formulas, and to think in three dimensions. BUSINESS MATHEMATICS To aid in developing good citizenship through teaching the fundamental business which everyone should understand, to aid in discovering aptitudes and interests, to give general business information — these are the aims in the course in business mathe- matics which this school offers. FUNCTIONAL MATHEMATICS This type of mathematics is taken only by those students who are enrolled in our co-operative course. The aim here is to repair the students’ weaknesses in ele- mentary arithmetic, to teach speed and accuracy in the solving of problems, and to acquaint the students with the practical uses of tables and formulas. ALGEBRA The aims of Algebra I and II are divided into three classes: (1) practical —use of formulas and graphs, the ability to solve problems, the interpretation of statisti- cal data; (2) disciplinary—clear thinking and accuracy, analysis of situations, relations between values; (8) cultural—appreciation of mathematics, inter-dependence of arith- metic and science, and consistency of mathe- matics in daily affairs. TRIGONOMETRY This phase of arithmetic deals with the use of formulas, tables, graphs, and the workings of the slide rule. The subject is 11 necessary for people planning to enter into construction work, aviation, navigation, etc. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The physics and chemistry courses give the students practice in applying the mathe- matics they have received in the College Preparatory Course in order that they may be admitted to and remain in the school of their choice. Practical physics and chemistry are designed for those pupils who do not desire college training but who wish to be aided in selecting some interesting form of work as a means of livelihood in our complicated industrial world. Science I, II, and III are designed to co-operate with the Saxon Trade School in enabling co-operative students to get as much information in biology and physics as can be fitted into the limited time when they are at our school. BOOKKEEPING I and II This course includes the study of transactions, drafts, statements, journals, classifications, promissory notes, and ac- counts. The objectives are divided into three groups: (1) To help develop imagination, vis- ion, and the ability to think and to analyze. (2) To inculeate a sense of responsi- ibility, dependability, and good work habits. (3) To keep a set of books in a business organization, whether an individual, partner- ship, or a corporation. TYPEWRITING J, II, and III This complete study of typing covers problems of personal typing, business letters, dictation, and straight book work. To stimulate interest, direct effort, and chal- _ lenge work habits, each student chooses his own goal and directs his practice to achieve that goal to the best of his ability. SHORTHAND I and II The aims of this course are to develop a skill in reading and writing shorthand, to improve speed in taking dictation, and to lay a foundation for accurate and rapid transcription on the typewriter. BUSINESS LAW Business law thoroughly prepares the student to conduct business dealings with an intelligent idea of his legal rights and limita- tions and to unde rstand legal information which will aid him in doing business. PRE-DRIVING COURSE This elective attempts to provide the students with a thorough knowledge of safety practices useful in the operating of a motor vehicle. The course is offered to the students in the hope that the accident rate among teen age drivers may be lessened. SOCIAL STUDIES The social studies enable the students to obtain a thorough knowledge of the world and its problems. Geography supplies a knowledge of physical forces, topography, climate, soil, bodies of water, and natural resources that influence our daily lives. Economics covers the broad subject of man’s wants, and it shows his efforts to secure the material things and services to satisfy them. ‘Topics connected with these factors are consumption, production, exchange, dis- tribution, and public finance. 12 Sociology deals with man’s efforts to adjust himself to his natural and artificial environment so that he may live harmon- iously with others in group life. Problems discussed in this course are the maladjust- ment of indivuduals to their environment, methods by which it may be corrected, and the way in which culture molds human nature. United States History is required by state law, as its purpose is to make better citizens by developing in the minds of the students an appreciation of their heritage. It also prepares them to avoid in the future the mistakes that have been made in the past. World History acquaints the students with the responsibilities that rest upon them, and equips them to become useful, more-informed citizens of the world. This subject deals with the story of the beginning of our civilization centuries ago, and the expansion of this life until it had reached most parts of the world as we know it today. The course was recently added to our curriculum as a_ substitute for Modern History so that the students would be thoroughly prepared for a similar course in college. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Girls Mrs. McKinnon, girls’ physical educa- tion instructor, teaches unit work in hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, and body conditioning. After school, she offers tennis and skiing. During two periods each week, the girls meet in Room B to see films concerning personality and to study about health and safety. Boys Mr. Piceuci, in charge of the boys’ gym classes, offers a wide variety of touch foot- ball, basketball, softball, soccer, volley ball, occasional hikes, and body conditioning. In Room B, some work is done in the fields of first aid and covering of the rules of football, baseball, and basketball. CGfarewell! “ long farewell. DORTHY C.

H. S. Ski Club and the Teen Age Canteen on the 11th and 12th of February. This event topped the list for winter activities on the “hill.” The carnival schedule con- sisted of the snow sculpturing contest, the stocking dance, the ski meet, and the carnival ball. Miss Diane Allard, general chairman of the Ski Club, Miss Marcia McCready, chairman of the sculpturing group, and David Dennis, president of T. A. C., headed the various groups in helping to plan and to carry out this carnival. The election of a king and queen from the student body was made. Miss Helen Mason was chosen queen, and Robert Thomas, king. Miss Barbara Jean Hurley and Miss Patricia Mullan were chosen as attendants to the queen; Michael Stelluto and Robert Mercier were chosen as members of the king’s court. On Friday afternoon, February 11th, the snow sculpturing contest was held. Each class tried its utmost to fabricate a statue which would win the approval of the judges, John H. Vaillant and Mrs. Robert Hutton Brown of Leominster and Mrs. Zaidee De Jonge Harris, executive director of the Fitchburg Art Center. Cupid by the seniors, an Easter bunny by the juniors, and the horn of plenty by the sophomores were the final products of the classes. After much deliberation, the initial prize was awarded to the sophomores; the second prize to the seniors; and the third prize to the juniors. Following the sculpturing contest, a stocking dance was held in the high school gymnasium. On Saturday the ski meet was held at the Leominster Ski Tow. Separate races were held for both the girls and boys. Bob Thomas won both the down hill and slalom, and George Carter won the cross country for the boys. For the girls Helen Mason surpassed in the down hill and Carol Lynch in the slalom. Saturday evening the coronation of King Bob and Queen Helen was held in the City Hall with a large crowd present. Mayor Ralph W. Crossman crowned the King and Queen. At this time the trophy, which is awarded to the class winning the most points in the various contests, was awarded for the second time to the senior class. Following the coronation, dancing to the music of Pat Mulvane’s orchestra was offered to all. Thus for the second year the Winter Carnival was very successful, offer- ing fun and enjoyment to all. Busy uit the crowded hour MAGNET BUSINESS STAFF The Magnet Business staff, under the direction of Miss Kathleen Smith, meets during activities period in Room 16. The function of this group is to take care of the business transaction necessary for the publi- cation of the Magnet. The duty of the members of this staff is to solicit various stores, factories, and prominent citizens for advertisements in the year book; and to collect glossies, plan the advertising section, and sell the book to the students. This year, in order to cut down on the cost of the year book, new means for obtain- ing money are being used. One of these ideas is charging the seniors a nominal fee to have their autographs printed in the book. Officers of the Magnet Business staff are the following—Business Managers: Mar- ilyn Johnson, Norma Tisdale. Account Managers: Anthony Greco, Murray Smith. Advertising Managers: Marie Nacke, Mar- chita Manning, Shirley Schofield. Typing Supervisors: Barbara Burke, Lorraine Cham- pagne, Sheila Cormier, Corliss Leighton, Eleanor Palo. MAGNET EDITORIAL STAFF This year the Magnet Editorial Staff has been the busiest of the many various clubs. Because the Magnet Staff is always striving for improvements, it is always open to any worthwhile suggestions. Carry- ing out some of these suggestions this year took considerable time and thought on the part of the staff. The work of the staff is to report on school activities, to write them up, and then to organize these reports for the year- book. Each member of the staff knows that he may be called upon at any time to acquire information and then to write it up for the book. The aim of the staff this year was to reduce the cost of the Magnet and yet improve it. Because this is the hundredth anniversary of Leominster High School, the theme of ‘‘A Century of Progress’ is carried throughout the book. The staff is under the leadership of Mr. George Peck, our faculty advisor. The officers of the Magnet are Co-editors, David Underwood and Robert Valeri, Asszstant Editor, Marcia McCready; and Secretary, Andrea Perlstein. PRESS CLUB This year has been an interesting and active one for the Press Club. For a full decade this organization has provided the necessary outlet for getting school news to the people of Leominster. Each Saturday from October through June, the Leominster Daily Enterprise devotes an entire page to information about Leomin- ster High School activities. Such things as assemblies, dances, and athletic events are reported by the members of the Press Club. A weekly feature has been the Training Table, a column given entirely to athletics. During the past year the Press Club took several field trips to different working newspapers. Frequently members of local newspaper staffs were invited to club meet- ings to give talks and render valuable in- formation on newspaper work. ‘Throughout the year Clinton P. Rowe, editor of the Leominster Daily Enterprise, has taken a lively interest in the Press Club and has contributed immeasure ably to its success. This year’s officers are Editor-in-Chief, Ann Capocciama; Secretary, Lucille Castri- otta; Advisor, John F. Joyce. CHORAL CLUB An outstanding school club this year was the Choral Club. Under the supervision of a new teacher, Miss Eleanor Driscoll, former director of music in Clinton, the members of this club participated in social functions, such as “sings” and musical assemblies. One assembly performance con- sisted of selections from Gilbert and Sul- livan’s ““H.M.S. Pinafore,’’ which was greatly enjoyed by the student body as are all student assemblies. Choral Club meets once a week to further the culture of the students’ voices and to teach them to enjoy and appreciate music. President—Arthur Soucy, Vice-President —Louise Girouard, Secretary—James Henry. Iabrarians—Dolores Bilotta, Francis Nor- mandin. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Frances L. Lockey Chapter of the Honor Society, which was named for our former dean of girls, held its first formal meeting on October 5, 1949, at the Leomin- ster Senior High School Library. This organ- ization is open to those seniors who in their three years in high school have maintained an average of eighty-five or getter in all subjects. At our first meeting this year, these officers were chosen: President, Michael Stelluto; Vice-President, Rose Simeoni; Sec- etary, Angela Pochesi; Treasurer, David Underwood. The following students are members of the Frances L. Lockey Chapter of the National Honor Society: Dorothy Albert, Nancy Braithwaite, Christine Calandrino, Lucille Castriotta, Charles Gaetz, Jean Gasbarri, Barbara Gettens, Patricia Goguen, Altabelle Grenfell, Lesley Johnson, Marilyn Johnson, Carol Lynch, Lorraine Lyonnaise, Marcia McCready, Verna Milton, Jean Murray, Andrea Perlstein, Michael Stelluto, Norma Tisdale, David Underwood, and Robert Valeri. Mr. Davis is the faculty advisor. THE FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA CLUB This organization, under the able direc- tion of Mr. Robert C. Laserte, faculty advisor, meets bi-monthly in the guidance office. The purpose of the members, who someday hope to educate the children of the public schools, is to learn now the advantages and disadvantages of this profession. The guest speakers are the teachers of today who try to impart their knowledge of teaching conditions in the elementary, junior high, and senior high schools of the surrounding area. This club, the James Gordon Carter Chapter of the Future Teachers of America, was recently added to the list of our numerous clubs. The officers of this club of the future teachers of democracy are as follows: Presi- dent—David Dennis, Vice-President—Jean McCarthy, Secretary—Ruth Haenisch, Treas- urer—Lorraine Lemire, P.T.A. Representa- tive—Margaret Metros. STUDENT CABINET The Cabinet is a democratic organiza- tion under the supervision of John H. Coburn. Although it has no governing authority, it is a place where the students may feel free to discuss or criticize any school matter without fear of retaliation or discipline. Students bring their problems to the attention of the Cabinet by notifying their home room representative. In cases of need, the Cabinet will gladly allow any individual student or group to appear before its board.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club began its third year as a Leominster High organization, October 18, 1949, with the election of the following officers: President—John O’Donnell, Vice- President—Marjorie Hannigan, Secretary- Treasurer—Bernard Lord. The function of this club is to help the Magnet by taking pictures of school activities. At each meeting some phase of photography is discussed with the hope of improving the picture-taking technique of the members. A series of talks was given by men who have made a hobby of photography and by professional photographers. In the spring, Mr. Davis addressed the class on the art of colored photography. Several of the members entered a contest sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Company, which offered many fine cash awards, by sending in pictures that they had taken themselves. DRAMATIC CLUB Under the able direction of Miss Lillian Ricker, the Dramatic Club has had another excellent season. During the course of the school year the club has presented many projects which have been outstanding suc- cesses. The Dramatic Club here at L. H. S. belongs to the Central Massachusetts Dra- matic Association, which is the combination of many clubs in this area to give the schools an opportunity to work together. In November, the Leominster club was host to the association, and the junior class members of the club presented their play entitled “The Women Folks.” Again during this past season the club sponsored the Interclass Play Contest with the three classes competing for top honors. The officers for the 1949-50 season were President—Jean Gasbarri, Vice-President— Betsey Vinal, Secretary—Patricia Goguen, Treasurer—Theresa Montaquila, P. T. A. Representative—Phyllis Hertel. FRENCH CLUB One of the most interesting and useful clubs at the high school is th e French Club, under the direction of Mrs. Miriam Bucknell. This year was one of the most active years since its beginning. The members sold football pencils, Christmas cards, and cook books, for which they solicited ads and gathered recipes. All these projects were undertaken to get money to help the club adopt orphans in France. Throughout the year, the club sent clothes and other neces- sities to these children. Conducting club meetings in French proves to be very helpful to the members during their classroom periods. The presi- dent opens the meeting with a greeting in French, followed by the reports of the secre- tary and treasurer, which are also given in French. During the year every member has a chance at least once to take part in the program, by either reciting or singing a French song or poem. Officers are President, Patricia Goguen; Vice-President, Pauline Vallee; Secretary, Marcia McCready; Treasurer, Barbara Gettens. BAND The High School Band, under the direc- tion of J. Richard Sutcliffe, meets during ‘A’ Period on Monday and Wednesday mornings in room 17 for practice. The band entertains at all football games during the opening and the half time. They were also able to attend the Central Massachusetts Music Festival, the New England Music Festival at Old Orchard Beach in Maine, and High School Day at Boston University. Members of the Band are Drum Majorette, Elizabeth Tyler; Twilers, Nat- alie Whitney, Phyllis Vivo Amore; Drums, Dorothy Burgess, Richard Corliss, Joan Fitzgerald, Robert Frazer, Robert Lister; Trumpets, Elwin Buzzell, Edward Davis, Elmer Fitzgerald, James Stevens, Craig Stuart; Trombones, Philson Freeman, Ev- erett Osborn, Elliott Wheeler; Saxphones, Dana Baggett, George Dupee, Roger Sawyer, William Taylor; Clarinets, John Derby, John Taylor; Baritone, Pauline Porter; French Horn, Shirley Schofield; Basses, Robert Keogh, Norman McGrath; Bells, Carolyn Divoll, Judy Fischer; Flutes, Eliza- beth LaFlame, Barbara Bent. ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, which during the 1949-50 season, met every Tuesday and Thursday during ‘A’ Period, is under the direction of Mr. J. Richard Sutcliffe. The Rotary Club of Leominster gave six tickets to the L. H. S. music department so they were able to attend the community concerts in this area.

The representatives for the various clubs are as follows: Press Club, Ann Capocciama; Magnet Staff, Caroll Lynch; Dramatic Club, Phyllis Hertel; French Club, Patricia Goguen; Choral Club, Louise Girouard; Art Club, Christine Calan- drino; Camera Club, Marjorie Hannigan; Honor Society, Andrea Perlstein; Band, Herbert Buzzell; Orchestra, Caroline Divol; Girls’ Sports, Barbara Ringer; Future Teach- ers, Margaret Metros; and Senior Play, James Wyman. BQ SKI CLUB As soon as the leaves fall and “Jack Frost’’ bites, the Ski Club meets to elect its officers for the year. At the first meeting this year, Helen Mason was elected President; Joan Buckley, Vice-President; Marcia Mc- Cready, Marjorie Hannigan, Secretaries; and Marion Foltz, Treasurer. This is one of the most active clubs at school, and the members are kept busy by planning ski trips and attending lectures, movies, and social events. Because of the fact that snow was very scarce this year, the club had to postpone many of the activities to the latter part of the winter to get full advantage from the snow. The Ski Club sponsors the biggest event of the winter season. This is the Winter Carnival that the entire student body at L. H. 8S. looks forward to. Included in the Carnival activities are snow sculptur- ing, competitive skiing and skating, and the crowning of the Carnival King and Queen. Skiing, which has proven to be an enjoyable and healthful sport to the members of the Ski Club, is becoming more and more popular at Leominster High School.

JUNIOR PROM The annual Junior Promenade held at the City Hall, Friday, May 5, 1949, from eight to twelve was considered the most spectacular of all proms. Billy Note and his famous music makers supplied the melodious sounds. Leading the grand march were President Frank Bovenzi and his partner Midge Han- nigan, followed by Vice-President Michael Stelluto and Pat Mullan, Secretary Ann Copocciama and “Chalk” Antonucci, and Treasurer Phyllis Hertel and Angelo De- Carolis. Those responsible for the success of this gala event were Midge Hannigan, Pat Mullan, Rose Simeoni, Angela Sabatelli, Bob Mercier, Bob Valeri, Larry Tata, “Chalk”? Antonucci, Jean Gasbarri, Freeland Ringer, “Footy” Valeri, Madeline Lanza, Nancy Piermarini, Bob Lavin, Dave Dennis, Savina DiPaoli, ‘Moe’ Smith, the class officers, and the class advisors, Miss Kath- leen Smith and Perey A. Y. Dunlop. The chaperones, members of the faculty, were Miss Lucia R. Piermarini, Mrs. Man- ning Morrill, John F. Joyce, George A. Peck, and John F. Magane. SENIOR PROM The Class of ‘50’ has finally done it— Done what? Why they’ve discovered a scheme to get all the boys to the prom. Of course this makes it possible for us girls to be escorted too. After reaching the City Hall which was trimmed with pastel paper the couples danced to the music of Peter Chase and his orchestra. The crystal ball was another great attraction, throwing colored confetti over the dancers. At twelve o’clock when the music stopped, everyone was still in high spirits. The dancers piled into cars and all went to Kings Corner Restaruant, which the class voted as our after-the-prom refreshment spot. Here the couples danced, ate, and watched the entertainment given by our own schoolmate Eddy Davis and his five piece orchestra and our drum majorette Betty Tyler. Everybody said that it was the best prom ever and Mr. Davis hopes that this cheme may be an example to future classess.

Broderick has again brought fame and glory to the Leominster High School football, basketball, track, and baseball teams. We are especially proud of Mr. Broderick this year because he was elected president of the Massachusetts Coaching Association at their annual meeting in Boston. Coach Broderick’s assistants during the football season are Theodore Kucharski and Carmine Picucci. Mr. Picucci also coaches the very successful L. H. 8. baseball nine. Mr. Lancelot Fowler of the faculty of the May A. Gallagher Junior High School has made our basketball team one of the most highly respected teams in this section of the country. As usual, Dr. Charles B. Wheeler, a noted local physician, has done an outstand- ing job in keeping the L. H. S. teams phys- ically fit. 56 Pis. Pits.

FOOTBALL TEAM Coach Charlie Broderick’s Blue-Devils ended their 1949 football campaign with a decisive win over the traditional Turkey Day rival, Fitchburg. The well-knitted and perfectly drilled team of Leominster was the proud holder of an 8 win 2 loss record after that hard fought battle. Actually, there is a long and wonderful story behind the scenes of that successful season. ‘There are the facts that a young, inexperienced club, after experiencing two heart-breaking defeats at the hands of strong opponents, came up from the floor to steam roll through the remainder of the season. This should not be attributed to the boys alone, for Coach Broderick summoned his strategic offensive and defensive tactics to 57 The line was well- groomed under the excellent direction of the team’s disposal. Coach Ted Kucharski. The team also had the benefit of Coach “Gug’’ Picucci’s good scouting. In the after matter of the thrilling Leominster-Fitchburg clash, Leominster was selected as the best team in Northern Worces- ter County, and later, they were presented a trophy by the Sportswriters of that section. Leominster High was further honored by placing seven members of its squad on the Northern Worcester County All-Star Team. Mike Stelluto, Bob Mercier, Joe Picucci, and Norm Martineau made the all star first team, while Free Ringer, Bob McGillvray, and Ernie Pirro won positions on the second squad. After the presentation of football sweaters and gold footballs, Coach Broderick and his staff began laying plans for the 1950 season. BASKETBALL This year the basketball team improved on last year’s very impressive record by winning thirteen and losing only five. Fowler had five lettermen to form the nucleus of his ball club. These five were “Moe” Smith, ‘Chalk’? Antonucci, Bruce MacIntyre, Gerry Crowley, and Bob Mercier. They received substantial help from Mike Vendetti, Paul Aubuchon, John McNamara, Norm Dion, Pete Nixon, Jack Daigneault, Paul Tourigney, and Charlie Richardson. Although the team lost both Fitchburg games, the last game by only one point, they scored a total of 790 points against 632 for the opposition. Strangley enough, two men tied for the individual scoring honors. “Moe” Smith and Gerry Crowley amassed the amazing total of 218 points each for the season. 58 The scores were as follows: Leominster 24—Athol 31 Leominster 48—Alumni 42 Leominster 43—Northbridge 26 Leominster 43—Marlboro 24 Leominster 33—Gardner 62 Leominster 37—Athol 31 Leominster 44—Methuen 34 Leominster 28—Fitchburg 44 Leominster 48—Third Batallion 16 Leominster 73—St. Bernard’s 51 Leominster 52—Hudson 32 Leominster 60—117 A. S. U. 21 Leominster 44—Methuen 43 Leominster 32—Marlboro 23 Leominster 29—Gardner 32 Leominster 53—St. Bernard’s 42 Leominster 57—Norma Jean’s 35 Leominster 42—Fitchburg 43 BASEBALL Here’s the pitch! The baseball nine under the direction of Coach Carmine Picucci has been working out for the past month. During this period they have learned baserunning, batting, sliding, and fielding. With Fran Normandin, Bob Mercier, Frank Bovenzi, ‘‘Nano’’ DeCarolis, Pete Nixon, ‘‘Chalk’”’ Antonucci, Connie Caligaris, and “Tatsy”’ and Larry Tata returning, the team should have a very good season on the diamond. In addition to these veterans, there are a few promising sophomores who are expected to report for practice. This year the team plays Gardner, St. Bernard’s, Assumption, Marlboro, Athol, Hudson, and Fitchburg on a home and home basis. 59 The scores Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster of the games of the 1949 season were as follows: 4—Marlboro 0 J—Athol 14 7—St. Bernard’s 5 1—Hudson 11 5—Fitchburg 7 (12 innings) Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster Leominster 6—Assumption 5 14—Gardner 15 6—St. Bernard’s 1 5—Hudson 4 5—Gardner 7 14— Athol 12 5—Assumption 11 8—Marlboro 6 4—Fitchburg 3 TRACK Coach Broderick’s track team is rather doubtful this year because only four letter- men are returning to the squad. These boys are Mike Vendetti, Larry Fish, Bob Doucette, and Norman Dion. Although the number of lettermen is few, Coach Broderick expects to strengthen his club with juniors who did not report last year and sophomores. As usual Coach can be expected to do the most with the material he has on hand. What many people do not realize is that any team depends on its 60 reserves just as much as on its starters. If we look forward to the L. H. S. track season with this in mind, we may hope for a very successful track team this spring. The scores of the 1949 track meets were as follows: Leominster 50 —Marlboro 22 Leominster 4514—Assumption 261% Leominster 33'—Gardner 38% —Fitchburg 52 —David Prouty 21 —St. Bernard 6 Leominster 20 Leominster 61 Leominster 66 CHEERLEADERS “Hip, Hip, Hurray!’ Yes, It’s the cheerleaders again, with more pep and spirit than a band of elves. A cheer for this, and a cheer for that, and by the time that we’re worn out, they’re just getting warm. They’re headed by little vivacious Barb Burke, and a better leader could not be found. Barb and the rest of the senior cheerleaders, including Marcia McCready, Barb Hurley, Pat Goguen, and Barb Gettens were the center of attraction. Then to add to this all star cast, came the junior cheerleaders, boasting a cast which included Marilyn McElligott, Pat Barry, Betty Stottle, and Joan Buckley. Who has been at all the games, At the basket, base or football? Why, the nine cheerleaders, of course, And at all times they’re on the ball. They cheered at one and every game At all the rallies, too. They cheered the team from game to game To see Leominster come through. First our head cheerleader By the name of Barbara Burke. Though she has a hard job Her cheers she does not shirk. Hurley is next in line, Her cheering really rates. She likes to cheer, because she knows That Leominster is great. Jivy Patty Goguen Has really got the stuff, She knows we’ll always beat the foes, No matter how big ’n tough. Now there is Barbara Gettens With loads of zest for cheers. She’s seen at almost every game For the last two great school years. In her years of cheering Marcia has had great fame. Without her peppy leading, It will never be the same. In the junior line-up Is Patty ‘Rye-krisp” Barry, She always keeps us on our toes, With cheers that make us merry. Betty has just what it takes, She makes her cheers sound swell, She’ll be back again next year To make those cheers go well. M. McElligott is next, With cheers so full of pep. She’s great at giving cheers With loads and loads of hep. Joanie Buckley is seen next, Though she’s not very tall, Good packages are often small, She’s always on the ball. Many thanks to these great gals, But always remember, too, That all their efforts, great and small, Were just for you, dear school. SOCCER “All beautiful and rugged members of the feminine sex, please attend the first meeting of the soccer team of your class.” These were the words echoed throughout the grounds at Leominster High School early this fall. There was much hustle and bustle as the many soccer enthusiasts beat their way to the soccer grounds to attend the first practice session. This sport progressed rapidly and the tournament which was 63 conducted between the classes was a thriller. The more experienced senior class surpassed once again, as they humbled their opponents, the juniors and the sophomores. The members of the winning senior team are, first row left to right, Ann Capoc- ciama, Anna Gradito, Betty LaFlame, Marion D’Onfro, Carolyn Divoll, Phyllis Fletcher, Shirley Scofield; second row, Jean Gasbarri, Theresa Montaquila, Carol Lynch, Jeanette DiPaoli, Marcia McCready, Helen Mason, Phyllis Hertel, and Lorraine Lemire. BASKETBALL When soccer balls and hockey sticks are put away and shins are down to normal size, on comes the most popular girls’ sport, basketball. This was a great year for this sport because there were home room and varsity squads. Especially when the old rule of limited dribble was repealed, the game was fast and exciting. It was Room 4 that came through with flying colors to be the basketball champs. They beat Room 3, 16 to 8, and Room 1 by a score of 31 to 16. In the semi-finals the sophomores gave them quite a scare, but the seniors finally nipped them, 16 to14. Then they breezed by the juniors with a 23 to 18 verdict. Madeline Lanza, team captain, 64 led the winners with 45 points. Carol Lynch was next with 36; Joan Smith scored 9, and Lorraine Lyonnais, 3. The winning basketball teams for the three classes are pictured above. The victorious seniors are seated in the first row. They are, from left to right, Joan Pierce, Carolyn Divoll, Joan Smith, Madeline Lanza, Lorraine Lyonnais, Carol Lynch, Pat Mullan, and Mary O’ Keefe. The junior and sophomore teams are in the second and third rows respectively. The juniors are June Howard, Betsy Vinal, Sue Langen, Ann Robichaud, Mary Hasen- stein, Ruth Haenisch, and Elaine Fletcher. The sophomores are June LaFortune, Judy Fisher, Claire Baron, Jeanette Bouchard, Nancy Patrinelli, Lois Emond, Eleanore Hazard, Antonetta Montaquila, Frances Ciccolini, and Joyce Lynch. VOLLEYBALL Another sport which ranks high with the stronger sex of our class (meaning, of course, the girls) is volleyball. A considerable amount of time was spent during the first sessions of this sport to learn the basic fundamentals and tech- niques of the game. After learning the fundamentals, the girls devoted much time to the art of serving and spiking the ball. During the latter part of the season the sport had been sufficiently mastered to give the girls great enjoyment from the games that were played during gym classes and after school. The members of the student body who participated in this sport were, first row left to right: Pat Sargent, Connie Lemire, Marcia Lowe, Anita Fantozzi, Marion D’Onfro, Frances Turano, Eva D’Innocenzio, 65 Dorothy Jenny Aversa, Madeline Lanza, Nancy Pier- marini, Anna Gradito, Diane Allard; second row: Ester Angelini, Jean Lehoux, Lorraine Lemire, Phyllis Castriotta, Claire DiNardo, Tocci, Marilyn Bacon, Janice Isles, Phyllis Fletcher, Joan Brown, Edna Provost, Francis Ali; third row: Georgette L’ Italian, Barbara Armadio, Theresa Monti- quila, Dale Willard, Judy Fisher, Joanne Petricca, Vivian Ramgren, Natalie Whitney, Lillian. Smith, Charlene Roberts, Betty Panagiotes, Betsy Johnson, Dorothy Albert, Barbara Yelverton, Antonetta Montaquila, Carolyn Divoll, Eleanor Landers, Joanne Vallee; fourth row: Charlene Booth, Angela Pochesci, Joanne Cole, Phoebe Lowe, Marlene Sanborn, Betty Stevens, Sheila Piccard, Janet Wedge, Carol Lynch, Janet Ringer, Margaret Sassaville; firth row: Nancy Patri- nelli, Lois Emond, Betsy Vinal, Jeanette DiPaoli, Orena Kidder, Sue Langen, Mary Hasenstein, Ruth MHaenisch, Shirley Ann Brown, and Joan Pierce. SOFTBALL Crack! and it’s another home run for that famous senior class. Yes, softball is in full swing. In the spring the young girls’ fancy at Leominster High School lightly turns to softball, because they receive tremendous enjoyment from this wholesome sport. The annual tournament conducted by the three classes was a thriller. The senior class, however, finally surpassed the other classes in the greatest finish in the long history of girls’ softball at the high school. The girls who participated in this sport are, first row left to right: Jenny Aversa, Ester Angelini, Marion D’Onfro, Frances Turano, Eva D’Innocenzio, Connie Lemire, Geraldine Navaroli, Jean LaFortune, Marcia Lowe, Anna Gradito; second row: Eleanore 66 Ali, Barbara Amadio, Madeline Lanza, Nancy Frances Landers, Edna _ Provost, Piermarini, Lorraine Lemire, Phyllis Fletcher, Mary MacDonald, June Howard, Phyllis Castriotta, Joanne Petricca; third row: Gail Mansur, Janice Isles, Dale Willard, Nancy Henry, Pat Mullan, Helen Mason, Phylhs Hertel, Betty LaFlame, Dorothy Albert, Valerie Shore, Margaret Sasseville, Jacqualine Desharnis, Pat Sargeant; fourth row: Lillian Smith, Judy Fisher, Natalie Whitney, Ann Robichaud, Theresa Monta- quila, Carol Lynch, Betty Stevens, Janet Bouchard, Claire Baron, Marlene Sanborn, Barbara Yelverton, Charlene Roberts, Mari- lyn Bacon; fifth row: Jean Gasbarri, Janet Ringer, Lois Emond, Joanne Cole, Sheila Piceard, Phoebe Lowe, Orena Kidder, Joan Pierce, Shirley Ann Brown, Carolyn Mc- Dowell, Jeanette DiPaoli; standing: Angela Pochesci. TENNIS Fifteen-thirty-forty-game. Tennis is re- appearing at Leominster High School. This sport gives to all girls the highest form of competition. Only the outstanding members of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes are selected to play in the tournament con- ducted during the latter part of the school year. Betsy Vinal, pictured above holding the tennis racket, will lead the junior class in competition against the seniors and sopho- mores. 67 The girls who will participate are, first row left to right: Jean Lynch, Janet Wedge, Pat Donnelly, Janet Hall; second row: Marcia McCready, Joan Pierce, Marion D’Onfro, Angela Pochesci, Carol Lynch, Joan Smith, Jean Gasbarri, Pat Mullan, Betty LaFlame, Phyllis Hertel; third row: Nancy Henry, Joanne Vallee, Diane Allard, Marilyn Bacon, Phyllis Fletcher, Barbara Gettens, Marcia Lowe, Claire Baron, Janice Isles, Frances Ali, Betsy Johnson; fourth row: Valerie Shore, Angelina Scopelleti, Mary Jane Quirk, Ruth Haenisch, Nancy Patrinelli, Lois Emond, Sue Langen, Mary Hasenstein, Barbara Greici, Marilyn McEl- ligott, and Carol Murphy. L. H. 8. WELCOMES NEW CLASS OF SOPHOMORES September 3, 1947 The bands played and the upper- classmen cheered as the new sophomore class came proudly, confidently through the portals of L. H. S. One could tell without a doubt that the Class of 1950 would be the most enterprising, successful class ever found on the “Hill.” There could be no question about our sportsmanship . . . when the seniors said, “Sing!”’ we sang! And we had noses for direction like those of no other 158 students. Overnight the lab was confused for the library, and the library for the office; they even hired special guides to help us find our way to the Guidance Office. Yes, the future of L. H. 8S. was assured, for the class of 1950 had arrived! JUNIORS HOST TO CLASS OF ’50 November 6, 1947 The Class of ’49 sponsored the annual Sophomore Party which was held Thursday, November 6, at the school auditorium. “Hobo” dress and blue and _ white streamers made the atmosphere comfortable and gay. Members of the junior class wined, dined, and entertained us with music, games, and dancing. Everyone had a terrific time and by 11 o’clock the Class of 50 was well ac- quainted with the upperclassmen. A load of thanks and appreciation go to the Class of ’49 from the Class of ’50 for giving us such a fine party. CLASS OF ’50 HOLDS FIRST ELECTION November 6, 1947 Today, the sophomore’ class voted, forming its first democratic government on the “Hill.”’ With many excellent candidates 68 Clas on the ballot, and our knowledge of good government, it was more than just choosing your best pal. After much deliberation on the part of the student body, they decided that Bob Mercier would be the one to head the class through its first year at L. H. S. With Midge Hannigan as vice-president and Pat Mullan as secretary, we were really proud of our choice of new officers. Our whole- hearted confidence was placed with Phyllis Hertel, as we elected her treasurer of our funds ‘‘to-be-accumulated.” Under the leadership of these four officers, how could the Class of ’50 be anything but successful? SOPHOMORES WIN TWO OF FOUR AWARDS November 13, 1947 “Four-score and seven years ago’’ may have been the words that rocked the nation back in November, 1863, but to us on the “hill,”’ Pat Goguen’s “‘A True Sport”’ rocked the school, and took second prize in the Better Speech Contest. Marcia McCready, and her fourth place entry, “Your Manners Are Showing,’ was another of the famous speeches that will “‘long be remembered.”’ Other speakers were Marilyn Moore of ’48 who took first place with “Home At Last,’ and Jane Tucker, 49, with “My Friend Princess,’’ who received the third place honor. GASBARRI CHOSEN BEST ACTRESS November 22, 1947 In the annual Inter-Class Play Contest held last night, Jean Gasbarri, a member of the Class of 1950, won the coveted Best Actress Award for her performance of Letitia, in “The House of Greed.” Con- gratulations, Jean, for bringing eredit to the Class of ’50 with your very real portrayal of this wealthy old spinster. The Class of ’49, and their play, “‘Child This tory Wonder,” took the first prize; “‘House of Greed,’ second; and ‘““Women in Council,” presented by the Class of ’48, came in third. KF. H. 8. DEFEATS LEOMINSTER November 24, 1947 We want a touchdown! touchdown! We want a These were the cries screamed by us, the faithful sophomores, as our team strug- gled toward the goal line. Although none of our classmates were actually in the line- up, we were instrumental in keeping up the morale of the team. Our efforts were in vain. Our hard-fighting team went down to defeat by a score of 18 to 0. SOPHS HAVE FIRST MID-YEAR EXAMINATIONS January 16, 1948 The past two days have been glum for us students at high school. We have just completed Mid-Year Exams. Everything was going along fine until the rumor got around that Mid-Year Exams would be given on January 15 and 16. Teachers stated that the Mid-Year Exam rumor was not just a rumor but a fact, and the school seemed to quiet down into deep silence for a few days. Students turned into bookworms over night. It was really a problem for those of us who had shirked the first five months of school. We sophomores listened in bewilderment to the complaints of the upperclassmen. There were arguments that only college students should have to take them. They needed the experience in taking long exams, but why make the rest of the student body suffer? Anyway, these exams have never been given before; why start now? The arguments were not won. The exams are over now, and everyone took them. We can go home now to rest our weary brains and pray for good results. 69 L. H. 8. HAS FIRST CAREER DAY May 12, 1948 Something new has been added to the L. H. 8. curricula! Students gathered at the school this evening to witness a Career Day that before had been just a dream of the faculty. Because of a well-planned program, the Student Cabinet was able to have successful business and professional men speak on their chosen vocations. The large attendance was due mostly to the alert sophomores, who are always seeking advice as to what subjects they should take in high school. With the aid of these speakers, the sophomores are striving to make their high school days a preparation for college or their chosen vocation. MARCIA McCREADY CROWNED QUEEN May 12, 1948 Johnny Appleseed, the man who made Leominster and the whole Nashoba Valley the apple basket of New England, has now been honored by a week of gay festivity. Many of the Leominster schools participated in the Field Day exercises that were held at the coronation of the queen. The high school entry was a group of girls who did square dances. The sophomore candidates for queen in the semi-finals were Barbara Hurley and Marcia McCready. Because of her well- developed poise, sparkling personality, and attractive appearance, Marcia was selected to represent the high school in the final competition between Leominster and other towns of the valley. This last contest Marcia won unanimously. Congratulations, Marcia, you deserved the honor. Other candidates in the semi-finals were seniors, Eleanor Mackey and Nancy Ferguson; juniors, Jean Lynch and Shelia St. Cyr. SCHOOL CLOSES FOR SUMMER June 23, 1948 “June 23, June 23, . . . today’s the day, today’s the day,” sing the throngs of anxious students who have waited through ten long months of five-minute speeches, report cards, mid-years, and book reports for this last day of the school year. Today, at last, is June 23rd; tomorrow will bring early morning fishing trips, and merry jaunts to the beach. June 23rd has a special meaning, too. We are no longer the “babies” of the school; we are now juniors! As we step through the portals of L. H. S., our thoughts turn to the activities and fun we have shared during the past ten months; and as we see seniors, crossing that threshold for t he last time, we are glad that we have L. H. 8S. to look forward to in the fall. SCHOOL DAYS DEAR OLD GOLDEN RULE DAYS HAVE BEGUN September 8, 1948 Here we are again, a little more mature, and a little prouder, with a whole new junior year ahead. Our sophomore hazing is a thing of the past, put on the records as our last juvenile experience. Of course, we haven’t yet reached the top, but we’ll get there, never fear! With the seniors, we hazed some of the poor frightened sophomores. What fun to see the same reactions we had demonstrated the year before! Since they were good sports and submitted to our pranks, we juniors felt slightly superior. Now, as grown-ups, we’ll lead our class through another successful year. CHEER-LEADERS CHOSEN September 16, 1948 The news has just been released! After a great deal of deliberation on the part of the judges, Dwight Davis, John Rogers, and Ted Kucharski, the selection of the Junior Cheer-Leaders has been made. It has now been confirmed that the Barbaras Burke, Gettens, and Hurley, Pat Goguen and Marcia McCready will lead us in our screaming of ‘‘Hold that line!’’ 70 JUNIOR ELECTIONS November 1, 1948 Having taken a look at the numerous candidates sitting on the stage, we pondered the situation. How could we choose, among all of those capable classmates, four students to head our class for the year. But choose we must, and choose we did. Through a hard-fought campaign, we worried and chewed our fingernails. Then came the results: President—F rank Bovenzi Vice-President—Mike Stelluto Secretary—Ann Capocciama Treasurer—Phyllis Hertel These students have headed our class and taken us through a prosperious junior year that we will never forget. BETTER SPEECH CONTEST HELD November 9, 1948 Well, here we are again to prove that we are the class of classes. Our speeches have now developed a form that can’t be beaten or copied by any of our superiors or inferiors. Again we took the cream of the crop in prizes, as Altabelle Grenfel with her speech entitled “It Pays to Advertise’ came through with flying colors and the third prize. Frank Bovenzi, another one of our star performers, was in fourth place with “Birth of a Star,’’ which proved that we, the Juniors, were now the new born stars of the school. Other speakers on the program were Lorraine Gagnon ’40 with “The Last Mile,” which took first prize, and Marilyn Spiller 49 with “Blind Dates,’’ which won second place. CLASS OF ’50 SPONSOR SOPHOMORE PARTY November 10, 1948 It was the responsibility of the class of 50 to sponsor the Annual Sophomore Party. With Frank Bovenzi in charge, it was bound to be a success. Mike Stelluto, Ann Capocciama, and Phyllis Hertel worked like beavers to carry out plans and appoint committees. Jean Gasbarri, Peggy Barker, and Patricia Goguen headed the refreshment committee. The Auditorium was decorated by Midge Hannigan, Ann Capocciama, Mike Stelluto, and Frank Bovenzi. All the cute posters were made by Bob Lavin and Pat Mullen. Spot dancing and games were played by all. The highlight of the evening was the choosing of king and queen. Christy Chieumento and Sheila Cormier were the honored couple. Refreshments were served and everyone had a super time. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL’S INTER- CLASS PLAY CONTEST RESULTS November 20, 1948 The class of ’50 walked away with the best acting award in the Inter-Class Play Contest, held last night. Mary O’Keefe, playing the roll of Tessie, a nervous overwrought daughter, was awarded the best actress medal; and Larry Fish was chosen best actor for his realistic portrayal of Mr. Petersham. “Laundry Mark,’ presented by the class of ’51, came in first, with ‘Senior Freedom,” class of ’49, and ‘“‘The Best There Is,’ coming in second and _ third, respectively. ‘Wa Jake thw Sg di de NE November 25, 1948 “We'll push Fitchburg all over Crocker Field,” screamed from the lungs of the Juniors as L. H.S8.’s men started the annual Thanksgiving Day game. This was the game of the season, and with the help of the Junior entries to the team, the game promised to be one of the best yet! Play after play, Bob Mercier, Mike Stelluto, and “Chalk’’ Antonucci captured honors for the Junior class and L. H.S. Although the score was 13 to 7 in Fitchburg’s favor the Juniors feel confident that they have learned many new offensive and defensive plays that will prove useful next year. CAREER DAY December 8, 1948 Annual Career Day is here again! What a day! Schedules changed, students running here and there; but the teachers are very calm. Every student is anxious because he fa! now has a chance to hear of a pr obable vocation. With his career slips, each pupil has a lecture in the two professions of his choice given by one person already in that profession. In three years, everyone should have six vocations in mind. A background such as this enables every student to select a suitable future vocation with some knowledge of that vocation. MID-YEAR EXAMS January 17, 1949 The Class of ’50 had their second taste of Mid-Year Exams, yesterday and today. I guess we rather expected them this year and it seemed that there was not so much cramming being done. Naturally we weren’t too happy about the matter, but we knew they had to be done so we buckled down and did them right. Everyone seemed to be quiet on the mornings of January 15 and 16, and there was a tenseness about the building. Pencils were being sharpened, pens filled with ink or maybe a new pen point. Pages of books were being flipped for that last look and then all was quiet. Two hours were to be spent in one room with no talking. We all got through it okay, and now fora few days’ rest; at least a weekend. The Class of 1950 now looks forward either eagerly or otherwise to the last hustle bustle of High School Mid-Years to come up in about one year — January, 1950. THE WINTER CARNIVAL OF ’49 February 12, 1949 Under the direction of Mrs. McKinnon, the Ski Club successfully sponsored the second annual winter carnival. High lights of the carnival were snow sculpturing, a ski meet, skating meet, and a carnival ball. Roger Cormier and Virginia Nickerson were chosen king and queen of the carnival. They were crowned at the carnival ball held at city hall. The class of 50 was presented with first prize for the snow sculpturing contest, the class of ’49 and ’51 coming in second and third. The class of ’50 sculptured the Fisher- man beside his boat. The original of this statue may be seen at Gloucester. The class of ’49 won first place in the relay at the skating meet while Fran Nor- mandin ’51 won the jumping and the class of ’50 won the hockey game. At the ski meet Bob Thomas came through with flying colors for the class of 1950. The coronation of the king and queen at the ball brought a beautiful ending to this successful project. CLASS OF 750 JUNIOR PROM, BIG SUCCESS May 7, 1949 “Oh how we danced,” as the Junior’s first big enterprise, the Junior Prom, pro- gressed in full swing. Many were the colors of the gowns, and large was the attendance. With a feeling of success, Frank Bovenzi and Midge Hannigan led the procession in a Grand March, which proved that with the strong competition of the Senior Play and Reception, the Juniors were still able to produce a formal that will be long remem- bered by all. APPLE BLOSSOMS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SO ARE THE QUEENS May 7 to 14, 1949 An apple a day will keep the doctor away and make some girl beautiful! This year, the girls from the Junior class were Barbara Hurley and Savina DiPaoli, who competed against the Sophomores, Ann Robi- chaud and Eleanor Palo; and the Seniors, Irene Lehoux and Dot Gosler, for the semi- final winners. Congratulations to Dot for taking first place honors in the semi-finals, and third place in the finals. The Junior girls did a wonderful job with their exhibition of Square Dancing. SCHOOL LOCKED UP TIGHT FOR THE SUMMER June 22, 1949 The day we have been st riving for is here at last. Weare no longer little nobodies, but Seniors at L. H. S. Our first move to prove this is to haze the Sophomores with a few of the “‘Hill’s’” perennial pranks. As the day progresses, each and everyone of us assumes an air of superiority, and when the day’s schedule of classes is ended, we have confidence that next year we will be back on the “Hill” to make L. H.S. long remember our class of 750. CLASS OF 1950 BECOME SENIORS September 6, 1949 Fling open your portals and rise with a cheer, for the class of ’50 is back for the year! To begin our day, we stressed our position of superiority with a little hazing of the Sophomores. “Sing, Sophomore, sing!” was heard all day long, and we heard rendi- tions of everything from ‘“‘Super Suds’’ to “Happy Birthday Dear Seniors.”’ As the day progressed, we greeted old friends and new subjects. All of us are confident we can make our Senior year one that will be remembered as long as there is a high school on this “‘hill.”’ SENIORS ELECT October 21, 1949 Election Day is here again and Seniors are in a dither. With so many qualified candidates it’s hard to make a choice. There’s the ticker tape, and here are the results: President—Frank Bovenzi Vice-President—Muike Stelluto Secretary—Helen Mason Treasurer—Phyllis Hertel Good luck to our new officers as they start our last year with promises of hard work and certain success. Ly HS: HASSE ANNUAL CAREER DAY November 9, 1949 Oh, to be a prince or princess! But since we don’t live in the land of make- believe, we all must decide, sooner or later, on a vocation. To aid us in deciding, distinguished members of various professions visited school on November 9, our third annual Career Day. ‘There were numerous conferences, at which the different speakers told us the advantages and disadvantages of their chosen professions. Being foresighted students, we listened attentively as they pointed out the necessary education to become anything from an airline hostess to a_ telephone operator! From the enthusiasm shown by the class of ’50, anyone can tell that we plan to make our future years as profitable as those we spent at L. H. S. BETTER SPEECH CONTEST HELD November 10, 1949 “Good, better, best!’’ Yup, that’s, what we the class of 1950 are. As in our other two years on the “hill,” our candidates walked off with the most awards. Pat Goguen, with her speech “My Friend,” proved that there really are lep- rechauns .. . and won second prize. Our other Demosthenes was David Underwood, who spoke on the worthwhile subject of ‘““You Call It Baseball, But I Call It Murder.” For this unique speech, Dave was properly given honorable mention. The Junior Class entry was Marilyn McElligot, who won the first prize medal with her speech “Occupation Page.”’ HORBORS DAY Ss Ab elite� . November 28, 1949 Ever see a creep? Not the Hallowe’en kind, but a real, honest-to-goodness Leomin- steer High Creep? What’s an L. H.S. creep, you say? Well, it’s a female... In pants and minus lipstick . . . having straight hair. Sounds creepy, eh? We sure were... We seared the teachers out of school, and the boys! Well, you’d have thought it was Sadie Hawkins Day, the way they avoided us. Friday they retaliated. We witnessed the vestiest Vest Day ever seen at L. H. S. The boys really looked as if they’d stepped out of the ’20’s with vests, lightup bow ties, turned-up collars to resemble those of yester-year, and watch chains that reached their knees! And leave it to Dave Under- wood to add a new touch... a gas pipe from the lab, draped across his vest! Future classes will praise our class for initiating this unique holiday, Horror Day. INTERCLASS PLAY CONTEST HELD November 18, 1949 “The Jinx From Alabama,” presented by the class of 1950, took second place awards during the annual Interclass Play Contest, held on the “‘hill’”’ last night. 73 Congratulations to student coach, Peggy Barker, for a fine presentation, and also to the cast . . . Pat Goguen, Barbara Hurley, Phyllis Hertel, Jean Gasbarri, Anna Gradito, Nicky D’Onfro, Marion Foltz, and Buck Mansur . . . for their superb acting. Orchids to the Sophomore coach, Char- lene Roberts, for the play “Billy’s First Date,” which took first place honors. Third place went to the Juniors for their hilarious entry, entitled “The Women Folk.” Best actor was Dana Baggett, while Marilyn McElligot, also a Junior, was chosen the best actress. Honorable mention went to John Rogers, a Sophomore. L. H. S. DEFEATS FITCHBURG!!! November 22, 1949 “Hurry, hurry, hurry! Here’s your last chance to see the class of 1950 in action on the football field!’ And everyone did hurry to see this game that was sure to go down in school history as one of the most exciting Turkey Day games ever played between those old rivals, Leominster and Fitchburg. The benches were lined with Seniors cheering their team to victory, as Bob Mercier, Mike Stelluto, and Chalk Anto- nucci raced on to the field to make a touch- down in the first period. Time after time Frank Bovenzi centered the ball as the Leominster boys pushed toward a second touchdown. Mike Vendetti, Sonny Ringer, Larry Tata, and Bob MacGillvray deserved the cheers heard from the crowd, as they tackled their way to victory. With confidence that they would suc- ceed again, the class of ’50 pushed and tackled until the game ended with a 26-20 victory! C.M.I. P. A. MEETS AT SENIOR HIGH November 30, 1949 Members of yearbook and press club staffs met today at Leominster High for their usual fall meeting. After registering, the guests gathered in the assembly hall, where students from the different schools entertained us with impromptu music on the piano. Later in the afternoon we attended conferences at which selected speakers told us about different fields in Journalism. At 5 o’clock there was a mad rush for the cafeteria, where our capable L. H. S. waitresses served our supper. When every- one was at last full to the brim, Table No. 1 began, “This is table No. 1,’’ which led to an hour of singing school songs and cheers. A main speaker followed, and _ the meeting was adjourned at 8 P. M. West Street residents stared wonderingly from their windows as our future journalists, loaded with books, trudged homeward late that evening. CLASS OF 1950 HOLDS UNIQUE PROM December 9, 1949 It took the class of 1950 to initiate a new kind of prom, which would be not only suc- cessful, but also more fun than any other before. Months of planning and much harried work went into the success of this prom, but all agree that it was worth every bit of it. This is what made it unique: after dancing at City Hall, which was not vacated until the 12 o’clock deadline, Seniors and underclassmen flocked to King’s Corner, which had been selected by a vote of the class as our after-the-prom night-spot. After dinner we were entertained by our own classmates . . . Eddie Davis and his band, and our TERRIFIC drum-majorette, Betty Tyler. The prom committee, headed by our class officers, did a splendid job of cutting down expenses so that more students could afford our prom. Having everyone celebrate together created a cozy, jovial atmosphere, and all of us had a really wonderful evening. SCHOOL INSPIRED BY SPEAKER January 5, 1950 Today a note of seriousness was detected on the faces of the usually boisterous student body of Leominster High. To say we became serious does not mean to imply that this was not a good assembly . . . on the contrary, it Ba one of the most entertaining we’ve ever ad. 74 Mrs. Induk Pahk, a very charming Korean woman, spoke to us about the current problems of her native land, told us a little of its interesting history, and gave us an idea of its culture by singing a few entertain- ing Korean melodies. She _ particularly stressed the struggle going on to keep Korea from the Communists and establish it as a democracy. After her inspiring message, we were all specially thankful for the wonders of America ... the freedoms and rights we enjoy and the natural beauty of our c ountry. We realize more than ever before that the threat of Communism affects not only individual countries, such as Korea, but the people of every nation as well. We understand now that America must insure her democracy by educating and aiding other nations against the threat of Red Terrorism. SENIORS DEBATE ON PLAY January 9, 1950 _A special meeting was called for Seniors during recess on December 20, 1949. Mr. Joyce spoke to us about our coming Senior play. He stated that in previous years ex- penses were high because of the type of play. Shakespearean plays have been used three times in the past five years and the costumes used in these plays are very expensive. The large number of roles in such a play also adds to the heavy costs. Previous classes have just barely stayed within their financial means and Mr. Joyce asked the Seniors to think about having a play with a smaller cast, thus lowering expenses. Having had a holiday vacation to think about this matter, we filled out forms on January 4th. We indicated whether or not we favored a large and flexible cast, under- standing the financial risk involved, or a worthwhile play, regardless of size of the cast. After thorough consideration, our prac- tical Seniors voted to keep the financial risk in mind when choosing a play. HE Gi, SS Bypasliaas JAMES A. ALI THOMAS F.
