Arthur Ouellette, and Burleigh Martin smile to prove itl HHSHME On September 2, 1952, 45 new squires marched, dashed, sauntered and minced into Boys' High. We were quite a motley crew: some hardly 4 ft. IO in.: otheres of good basketball height: all from the various local grammar schools, except one fellow. hailing from 'Ole Virginny'. We were quickly corralled into Fathers Mc Donald's and Boulanger's home rooms. While still squires. we elected our class officers: E. Dionne, Presidentg C. Violette, Vice-Presidentg G. Ezzy, Sec. -Treasurer: S. Stewart and O. Lebel Councillors. One day we were dubbed Crusaders: but only after a week of wearing jewelry and humbly cleaning school gounds and town side-walks. We soon caught on to the Crusader Spirit: 3 boys on the Jayvees. I2 on the Chips Staff. to on 2 hot intramural teams. and in just about every school activity. And we in tend to keep going! What's the verdict? Jury consists offfrontj Donald Gagnon, Arnold Berube, Roger Cyr, Donald Chasse, Rodney Madore, Daniel Plourde.

Keegan, St. John and Sacred Heart Schools. eagerly awaited the opening of S.H.H. S. doors on September 2. 1952. Guided by the footsteps of our big Sisters we were immediately led into the auditorium where Mother St. Marcella, Principal. introduced us to all our beloved teachers At long last---we would definitely be called S.H.H. S. students! What a grand feeling! How thrilling were those first few weeks during which we became acquainted with everyone and everything! Though our upper-classmen delighted in taking the slightest opportunity to confront us with such names as Greenhorn and Freshies we soon gave them proofs we weren't as fresh nor as green as they thought us to be. September 9 marked the day as Yearbook Photo Day'1 The Freshies were photographed with balloris, lollipops. baby elephants. kittens, and baby toys---we wondered why! The strange part of it, no one else wondered! Thankful were we to the Seniors and to the Junior homemakers for a pleasant get-acquainted party on the school lawn. The upper class- men's warm and friendly acceptance of us all gave us the wonderful feeling that we were really, All for one and one for All. The eve of the National Election day provided an excellent opportunity to show publicly our belief in the American freedoms. Our patriotic spirit was openly demonstrated as the joint Freshmen classes, carrying huge voting signs and colorful banners, proudly marched on Main Street to the unsymphonic rhythm of pots and pans. Our aim was to remind all eligible voters to fulfill their American rights and duties. Our teachers too seemed intent on emphasizing on a united front in their efforts to develop our minds, hearts and bodies. Our monthly vocation day aims to help us get the most out of our H. S. days so that we may better prepare ourselves to lead more noble and Christlike lives and become useful citizens in begetting a world of peace.
