EMINI 1946 Publie par les eleves de Versification du College de 1’Assomption Worcester, Massachusetts icace En ce centenaire de la naissance de la famille assomptioniste Au Tres Reverend Pere Emmanuel d’Alzon Cet annuaire, humble temoignage de la sincere reconnaissance Que lui portent les finissants de 1946, Heureux beneficiaires d’une magnifique oeuvre animee de son esprit l Page deux Extraits d’une lettre de Sa Saintete Pie XII aux Augustins de I’Assomption a l’occa¬ sion du centenaire de la fondation de la congregation par le T. R. P. Emmanuel d’Alzon, a. a., le 25 decembre 1845. A Notre cher fils Gervais Quenatd, superieur general des Augustins de l’As- somption, Emmanuel d’Alzon, sicut bonus miles Christi, dont le coeur d’apotre et de soldat brulait d’affermir et d’etendre ici-bas le regne de Dieu, avait fait de X Adveniat re- gnum tuum la devise de sa Congregation et assigne a ses fils, avec l’enseignement chretien, principal objectif de leur aposto- lat, toutes les autres oeuvres destinees a combattre, a l’interieur comme au dehors, les sombres desseins des ennemis du nom catholique et romain. De la, ces initiatives hardies, soit dans le domaine scolaire, ou le P. d’Alzon preludait en des temps deja si difficiles pour la liberte de l’enseigne- ment, a l’organisation des Instituts catho- liques, tandis qu’avec un sens tres avert! de la pedagogie chretienne il fondait des colleges et des alumnats ou la jeunesse fournirait au clerge seculier et regulier de precieuses recrues; soit dans le champ des Missions et des oeuvres sociales, ou l’on se doit de mentionner au moins l’oeuvre de Notre-Dame du Salut et ’Union des oeuvres ouvrieres; soit dans le champ des peleri- nages, avec l’Hospitalite de Notre-Dame du Salut; soit dans ces divers etablisse- ments culturels et apostoliques au coeur de 1’Orient chretien, pour le retour des dis¬ sidents a 1’unite de l’Eglise; sur le terrain si dispute du journalisme catholique, avec la Bonne Presse et ses frondaisons multi¬ ples, qui ne seront pas le moins beau fleu- ron de la couronne assomptioniste. De fait, Nous ne pouvons laisser pas¬ ser une telle occasion sans souligner enco¬ re l’importance et l’opportunite de cet instrument moderne de formation et d’apostolat. Nous Nous etions plu a 1 il- lustrer dans une conference que Nous tinmes, en 1936, au Congres romain de La Croix. Nous l’avions deja proclame, quatre ans plus tot, au nom de notre grand predecesseur Pie XI, dans une lettre pour les noces d’or de votre Maison de la rue Bayard, ou Nous rappelions, entre autres faits que heritier des pensees du venera¬ ble instituteur des Augustins de l’Assomp- tion, le P. Vincent de Paul Bailly, sous le pseudonyme du Aloine, fut, avec le P. Picard, le genial organisateur et animateur de cette Bonne Presse dont La Croix, est, on peut bien le dire, la maitresse piece.” Ce sont par consequent des vceux bien fervents et des felicitations bien sinceres que Nous vous adressons, ainsi d’ailleurs qu’aux ceuvres et Congregations feminines providentiellement issues du tronc origi- nel, sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae. A tous et a toutes, Nous envoyons tres volontiers, comme gage d’abondantes consolations celestes et de surnalurels succes, la Benediction aposto- lique. Pius PP. XII Du Vatican, le 19 octobre 1945. Page quatre FACULTE j Cette premiere section de notre annuaire est dedice cordialement a la faculte du college de l’Assomption. Nos maitres, pendant quatre annees, ont reussi a nous former, a nous instrui- re, et a developper en nous 1’ideal catholique et franco-americain. Quoique notre gratitude deborde, nous n’avons pas l’habilete necessaire pour l’exprimer d une fa on adequate. Alors, du fond du cceur, un merci sincere. Page cinq Les onze annees du Pere Rodolphe Martel, a. a., comme superieur du College de l’Assomp- tion ont ete vraiment fruetueuses. Nous lui sommes reconnaissants pour une nouvelle cha- pelle, une construction au-dessus du gymnase, le refectoire des religieux, une piscine, une pa- tinoire et rembellissement de l’entree princi- pale du High School”.

Off icier d’Academie Professcur de latin Ses classes etaient interessantes, et quoique ses legons, ses devoirs et ses examens nous in- quietaient constamment, nous appreciions vrai- ment son devouement et son desinteressement. Pere HENRI J. MOQUIN, a. a. Professeur de chimie La chimie, cette matiere si compliquee, de- venait comprehensible par suite de ses efforts interesses, de ses exemples lucides et de ses historiettes delassantes. Pere OSCAR G. ZOPPI, a. a., Ph.B. Prof ess eur de grec Une variete incomparable dans ses classes ainsi que des abreges de medecine et de philo¬ sophic faisaient une difference presque recreati¬ ve entre lui et ses collegues.

LAURENT, a. a. Professeur de frangais On lui doit de pouvoir apprecier correcte- ment un texte frangais. Son cours de versifica¬ tion qui a complete notre etude de la composi¬ tion, a cause pour la plupart, des embarras pres- que insurmontables. Pere OLIVIER R. BLANCHETTE, a. a. Professeur d’anglais Ses reactions nous faisaient parfois sourire, mais son devouement complet inspira chez-nous un esprit de sympathie et de collaboration. Pere LOUIS-ROBERT BRASSARD, a. a. Econome Professeur d’histoire americaine Ses comparaisons de Thistoire passee avec l’histoire contemporaine etaient notre seule source d’informations concernant les evene- ments internationaux, et sa personalite rayon- nante faisait de ses classes, un delice. M. VALMORE X. GAUCHER Professeur d’ instruction civique Le temps fuyait dans ses classes, tellement ses experiences politiques et son humour ren- daient interessante l’instruction civique. Et com- me ses conferenciers remplissaient bien les heu- res de devoirs! M. LUCIEN H. DESJARDINS, M. A. Professeur de physique II avait le don d’expliquer clairement sa matiere pourtant difficile, et sa connaissance de la physique ne cessait de nous eblouir. M. LOUIS T. DES CHENES, M. A. Professeur d’hi stoire me die vale Ah! que ses recitations etaient detaillees et minutieuses. Ses erudites reponses a nos ques¬ tions quelquefois specieuses, nous provoquaient de surprises et excitaient notre envie. M. GEORGE E. SHERRY Entraineur II nous a paru l’entraineur ideal, s’interes- sant a ses athletes d’une fagon paternelle et les entrainant energiquement vers de belles victoi- res. Pere LEO J. MARTIN, a. a. Directeu-r Athletique Tous les details qui passaient inapergus, mais sans lesquels de grands evenements n’au- raient pu avoir lieu, preoccupaient constam- ment son esprit actif. Pere JOSEPH A. PELLETIER, a. a. Entraineur de tennis Les victoires de nos equipes etaient dues a son travail. II etait pour nous la voix de Fati¬ ma ainsi qu’un excellent joueur de tennis. Pere PAUL R. MARTEL, a. a. Surveillant des Versificateurs Notre surveillant particulier etait egalement pour nous un pere, une mere, un professeur et un compagnon. II n’obligeait des ingrats et son devouement etait toujours apprecie. NOS ANCIENS PROFESSEURS MfiTHODE: PP.

M E M I N I Pendant qu’a pleines mains vous jetez en riant Dans vos devoirs latins vos affreux solecismes, Votre maitre, arretant un geste impatient, (L’habitude a chez lui cree le stoicisme!) Se demande, anxieux: Que sera cet enfant, Espiegle insouciant, tete parfois reveche, Aujourd’hui coeur naif, belle ame toute fraiche, Ou l’on croit voir passer Jesus adolescent? C’est notre reve, a nous, de graver en votre ame Les traits tendres et forts de ce Divin Ami. A Lui gardez vos coeurs; que son ardente flamme Vous rechauffe et vous guide! — Ah! que ce Memini, Remettant so us vos yeux votre belle jeunesse, Vous rappelle 1’amour de votre Assomption, Et pour votre avenir sa sainte ambition! Memini! Memini!’’; redites-le sans cesse! P. Odilon Dubois, a. a. Page quatorze FIN ISSANTS Nous void les quarante-six finissants de 1946.

At last we are victo¬ rious! After four years of intellec¬ tual battle, we are being crowned with diplomas from Assumption High. We did out- best alongside our Alma Mater, her¬ self struggling through a difficult transitional period. We learned to ad¬ mire our school, its faculty, its students. We are proud to become alumni of a great Franco-American institution. NEWCOMERS SEPTEMBER 1942. We remember the first weeks we were here. Then we thought we could make the rules of the school, but discipline gained the upper hand. How time flitted swiftly away in those days when we opened Latin books for the first time in our lives; entered in the new chapel; made speeches on mytho¬ logy; listened to sermons by Monsignor Prud’homme; were initiated by the so¬ phomores; presented a $1000 bill to Father Superior for the pool; saw chan¬ deliers fall and curtains refuse to open properly during a College play; enjoyed our first Field Day. Then . . . TIME MARCHES ON ALREADY we were sophomores. Wise fools we were called. It was during those ten months that the swim¬ ming pool was completed; THE ECHO made its first appearance; Father Leo be¬ came Athletic Director; Brother Joachim Bosseno died and was buried with im- Br. Joachim at work pressive ceremonies; the skating rink was completed; neckties with long tails and short heads were in vogue; Victor Vigeant replaced our beloved French teacher, Ray¬ mond T. Ethier who entered the Army; William E. Dubois Chronicler Page trente-huit Father Alfred Guenette, a. a., Assump¬ tion’s flying chaplain, enjoyed a dangling experience; track was introduced; Mr. La¬ croix’s nuptial knot was tied in our cha¬ pel; Assumption celebrated its fortieth an¬ niversary; Father Oscar Zoppi’s Silver Ju¬ bilee occasioned a superb production of THE MIKADO. Peep-Bo, Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing ALREADY UPPERCLASSMEN! SEPTEMBER 1944 and the remnants were reunited for another school year. We remember when Father Albert Cossette was retreat-master; Dumouchel swam in the pool; the drive for a new college was announced; the Blue and White fighting Greyhounds did a praiseworthy job on the gridiron; we received our class rings; Father Leo’s Tombola netted $1250 and new basketball outfits; the Assumption Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized with eight juniors as char¬ ter members; the new school orchestra was formed; we acquired editorship of THE ECHO; we presented our first whist party and entertainment; the new High School seals were first used; the sports charter was drawn; we saw Le presbytere en fleurs”; we entered the senior recreation hall: one step closer to being the ' ' oldest inhabitants”. ALMOST OVER DAYS, weeks, months passed and now we could really look forward to graduat¬ ing. We were seniors! We remember when we saw the new prefect; Father Gi- rouard distributed halos; the girders for the new wing finally arrived; Mr. Gaucher introduced distinguished speakers to the civics classes; we presented our show in the sawdusted gym; we elected our Memini staff; Brother Gerard gave his popular lectures on etiquette; Father Leo¬ pold Braun spoke revealingly. The North-West Wing SO LONG! WE have faced the ordeal firm and bold — and now we are leaving — not good bye”, but just so long”. Many of us will return for another four-year trek towards a Bachelor of Arts degree. With all of us, memories will linger—memories of an ever-loving Alma Mater who has guided us through the so-called age bete”, who has enriched us in her religion, her knowledge, her culture. What greater and more legitimate pride than to possess her guarantee of our successful quadren¬ nial sojourn! P ( age trente-neuf THE NINETEEN-SIXTY Radio highlights brought to you by the Eyes and Ears of Assumption”. Kenneth I. Laprade, renown news com¬ mentator, brings you the I960 news roundup. Flash — Rodolphe T. Bis¬ son, famed optometrist, has just successfully performed an operation on the failing eyes of Ernest Morin. Ernie recently designed the XP-82, which flew around the world in fifteen hours, expertly piloted by Francis X. Ther- rien, a former West Point cadet. Upon landing, X” was presented the Carey Cup, in memory of Michael C. Carey, late scientist-author and naturalist. Mike’s” last work was: Who’s Who in the Univer¬ se? This book vividly portrays the travels of Jean-Louis Valois, who introduced the game of basketball to the cannibals of Africa. There Johnny” met missionaries Father J. Bernard Archambault and Father Roger L. Bisson, both now translating latin into the savage dialect. A former associate, Father Stephane Allard, was ordered to start a mission in distant India. Upon arrival, Steve” taciturnly admitted that Joseph A. Cournoyer would be his architect. As you all know, Joe” designed the mansion of the famous author-surgeon Gilbert A. LeBlanc. Gil” has now four hundred and twenty-nine pipes to his col¬ lection. Yesterday he was interviewed by Roger R. Blais, star reporter for the Nashua Telegraph. Blaisie” has traveled quite a bit, and has handled such impor¬ tant personages as Norman A. Meiklejohn. Meik”, now teaching law at Catholic University states that his principles on juris¬ prudence have brought glory to many of his former students. Being a fastidious man, he has all his briefcases made by the Roger A. Lepoutre Firm of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, which specializes in every¬ thing. Their stock was decreased con¬ siderably by a five hundred thousand dol¬ lar conflagration which destroyed a large chain manufacture in Springfield, Massa¬ chusetts. Nearby factories were saved, thanks to the ex¬ pert handling of Fire Chief Normand Faflamme. Such prominent doctors as Claren¬ ce A. Bedard and Emile F. Bourbeau were on hand to administer aid to the afflict¬ ed. Through their toil and perseverance, no lives were lost. The ]acques Morency Trucking Firm, Atlantic, Sub- Atlantic and Pacific was quickly called, and plans made to move all usable mate¬ rial to New Bedford or Providence. There the eminent Pierre J. Fleurant III auction¬ ed off the more damaged goods. P. J.” could be heard ejaculating his usual sta¬ tements, Gimme” or Pay up!”, and Feo E. Fetourneau was the blunt receiver of most of these remarks. Leo’s rich uncle died suddenly at the beginning of this year and bequeathed him the Letourneau Che- mical Company of Augusta, Maine. His research chemist, Guy Giboin, has just discovered gibonium, a chemical guaran¬ teed to eradicate ink eradicator. Open arm congratulations were wished upon him by Dr. John O. Brassard, always a promoter of scientific discoveries. In fact, Browski” contributed ten thousand dollars to The Milton Rene Camirand Home for Aged Scientists, just established in Leominster, Massachusetts. Milt” was also assisted in this charitable opus by Rene J. Cha- gnon, engineer and weekly writer of The New York Sunday Times. The editor of the Times, Gerard F. X. Gaucher, highly approves of Rene’s work. Red’s” modesty prevents him from boasting of himself; but it must be admitted that he has made famous reporters out of such presently recognized men as William E. Dubois and Robert J. Vigeant. Vig” excels in toothpick articles, while Guillaume” is famous for his edito¬ rials. Needless to say, the paper is now Republican and will undoubtedly back the Cote for president” campaign. Roger ot his start as a country doctor, but his talents were brought to the front by Robert L. Kenneth I. Laprade Conmentator NEWS ROUNDUP Lafond, his associate. Bob” himself con¬ tinued in the profession of medicine and now owns the Manchester Hospital for Anemics. He is assisted by George M. Cho- quette, fellow-surgeon. Their motto is: We take pains, how about yours?”. A recent patient was Father George E. Christian, Superior Provincial of the White Fathers. A gallon of blood was in¬ jected into George’s veins and he was told that his planned trip to Afghanistan would be possible. His ship, the U.S.S. Ruby will soon sail with Donat E. Robitaille at the helm. This trip will mark the one hun¬ dredth time Donat sails the Atlantic, his only complaint being that the salt in the water got between his teeth. So he con¬ sulted dentist Charles E. Martel who pro¬ ceeded to pull all his teeth out. The action was approved by his associate, Richard J. Deslauriers, dentist and equine veterina¬ rian. Dick gained fame especially by the treatment he has been giving Roland T. Lamoureux’s horses. Besides owning five thouroughbreds and riding one of them to victory in the Kentucky Derby, Lammy” also manages a textile plant and bookies” for his friends—my! but he has lots of friends! One of them tried to link Ro¬ land’s name with a horse scandal, but Normand E. Petit of Petit and Small, Inc., ably defended him. We now pause for a transcribed announcement: Don’t be a dope: Get Bouley’s soap!” If you hurry you can get a bargain buy at the Albert Bouley Soap Manufacturing Company, the only soap that can stay half way between the surface and the bottom of the water. This ingenious motto was thought up by Publicity Agent Robert Dus¬ tin Rourke. Dustin also in¬ vented the slogan: A prescription to fill? You need a good pill? Come to see Gil .” This of course applies to the one and only Doctor Gilbert E. Poisson (not a fish doctor), celebrated alcoholic specialist. Pish” just cured a perfect rummy” from the bad habit of drinking, and then relax¬ ed behind a tall glass of gin, in celebra¬ tion of his achievement. Another bad-habit specialist, Doctor George A. Magnant, just finished his latest treatise: How To Stop Smoking. No doubt George profited from his personal experiences! This latest masterpiece was highly appraised by Doc¬ tor Marcel L. St. Sauveur, President of Connecticut University, famed author and critic. Saint” admits, and we quote: I think that it really stands out as one of the best of our era.” Flash—we interrupt this news review to bring you this important announcement: Gerard J. Brault, archaeologist and lec¬ turer is coming to this city; he will speak on: Were all the mummies mothers?” We now return you to Kenneth Laprade and the news review. Over in Willimantic, Connecticut, Ed¬ ward L. Paradis has just received his Ph. D. in English. His thesis expounded the degrading effects of liquor. This thesis no doubt will serve as a boycott to the trade of Bernard R. Gravel, package-store mag¬ nate. However, Barnyard” doesn’t mind for he is now taking over the Babineau Pencil Eraser Top Concern. Babs” will devote all his time to his radio pro¬ gram Box Top” which has been meeting with great success. His sponsor, Doctor Charles E. Beauchamp, brain specialist, gave the program its first footing and now sta¬ tes that I960 has keen a year of great success. We conclude our news review with this thought: Happy future to all! ! ! Jean L. Valois Reporter 34 Theodore Street Chicopee Falls, Mass.

As ever, Aerand Page quarante-trois We, the class of 191 6, being about to pass out of this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well-train¬ ed memory and almost superhuman know¬ ledge, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us anytime heretofore made or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour.

Le Cercle Saint-Jean des Gardes d’Honneur du Sacre-Cceur de Jesus est une reunion d’eleves songeant au sacerdoce et desirant vouer leur vie d’une fagon toute speciale au Sacre-Cceur de Jesus, suivant l’esprit de l’Archiconfre- rie de Priere et de Penitence dirigee en Amerique par les RR. PP. de l’Assomp- tion. Depuis sa fondation, le 2 fevrier 1915, le Cercle a donne plus de 150 pretres et missionnaires au service de Dieu. Au mois de septembre 1945, le Pere Thomas L. Hebert, a. a., professeur de philosophic au college, en a assu¬ me la direction. En meme temps, on a admis le plus grand nombre de nou- veaux membres que le Cercle ait connu, soit 26 eleves, dont cinq collegiens. L’annee s’est passee a discuter sur le Sacerdoce du Christ. Page cinquante-deux ECOLE APOSTOLIQUE L ' Ecole Apostolique, inauguree id au College en 1935, est une organisation qui a pour but d’augmenter le nombre des vocations sa- cerdotales dans la congregation des Augustins de l’Assomption. Cette ecole differe des ecoles de France, fondees par le Pere Emmanuel d’Alzon et appelees Alumnats, de cette fagon-ci. L ' Ecole Apostolique ne vise qu’a donner des pretres a l’oeuvre assomptioniste, tandis que les Alumnats off rent aux jeunes, a la fin de leur cours, un choix entre les missions, la vie religieuse et le clerge seculier. Le Pere Emmanuel d’Alzon insista sur le fait que cette oeuvre etait reservee aux pauvres. Ici au College, l’Ecole Apostolique compte treize membres dont Fun, Stephane Allard, est de la classe des finissants. Une fois cha- que semaine, sous la direction du Pere Odilon Dubois, a. a., ils regoi- vent des explications en ce qui concerne la vie religieuse dans la con¬ gregation des Assomptionistes. Depuis sa fondation en 1935, l’Ecole Apostolique a fourni un pretre aux Augustins de l’Assomption: le Pere Alexis A. Babineau, a. a., ordonne le 22 decembre 1945, a la basilique de Quebec.

En 1945, nous l’avons installe en pleine discipline classi- que ou il s’est revele porteur d’ideal, par le beau, le bien, le vrai que ses colonnes ont tache de rependre partout. Nous avons eu comme ambition legi¬ time d’agrandir, par le journal, 1’horizon culturel que nous delimitait le program¬ me scolaire proprement dit; nous avons tente d’acquerir, par le journal, une disci¬ pline d’esprit et un jugement critique par rapport aux evenements de la vie couran- te. Au point de vue humain nous avons consacre nos efforts aux triage des valeurs afin que notre ECHO soit un modele par le choix de ses articles et 1’importance re¬ lative accordee a chaque sujet. Au point de vue litteraire nous avons cherche a traduire des idees-forces en des formules transparentes de clarte ou la gaie- te d’esprit semblait se jouer, comme font au printemps les premiers rayons du so- leil sur notre patinoire. Quelques-uns d’entre nous se sont meme decouverts, en composant quelque nouvelle, un veritable talent de journalis- te. Guides par des principes solides, vers un succes non equivoque, ou la bonne vo- lonte de chacun a triple l’efficacite des le¬ mons revues, nous sommes, a juste titre, fiers de notre ECHO 1945.

Rosaire, donnerent une representa- tation du Presbytere en fleurs”, oeuvre de Leopold Houle. Les invitations nombreuses de diverses paroisses a repeter la piece firent preuve de son succes. Au mois de mai 1944, a l’occa- sion des noces d’argent sacerdo- tales du P. Oscar Zoppi, a. a., les eleves presentment le Mikado” de Gilbert-Sul- ivan. Le Fr. Vincent Dol- bec, a. a., s’etait charge de la mise en scene et le P. Ulric Charpentier, a. a., de la partie musicale. Enfin, cette annee, le P. Louis- Robert Brassard, a. a., prepare Le secret de la confession de Gregoire Leclos et de Pierre Dumaine. Les au- gures annoncent un succes non moins inferieure a celui des annees preceden- tes. .! 1 K M ' , W 1 i ' 4 i h Jfkh 1 if 1 , V 1 1 SPORTS Les sports a 1’Assomption jouent un double role: developper et former les participants; rom- pre la monotonie inevitable qui existe toujours dans un college prive. Les quelques lignes et les quelques photos indues dans cette section resument une annee sportive qui a certainement rempli ces deux roles. Page cinquante-sept -Mi- ■ . o .. THE 1945 FOOTBALL SEASON Under the able guidance of Coach George Sherry, Assumption fielded the second football eleven of its history. Led by Senior Captain Gilbert A. LeBlanc, the little Greyhounds dropped the season’s opener to Mary E. Wells of Southbridge. But in their next three encounters they dazed the Putnam, Simsbury, and Auburn elevens with some fine pigskin handling. Working from a box formation the Blue and White backfield composed of Captain Gil” LeBlanc q, Rog” Boisvert 1. h., Al” Audet r. h., ' Saint” St. Louis, f. b., crossed the goal line 13 times to its op¬ ponent’s 7. The fine blocking, quick-charg¬ ing, and hard-hitting forward wall made up of Saint” St. Sauveur r. e., Ken” La- prade r. t., ”Gus” Gosselin r. g., Ray” Bosse c., Rog” Cote 1. g., Duffy” Du- ford 1.1., and Eli” Bienvenue 1. e., fronted the Greyhounds in their three initial vic¬ tories. Next year’s eleven, almost a complete veteran squad, will face many new strong adversaries in a more impressive schedule. THE RECORD: Assumption .... 14 Mary E.

Final standing in Catholic League: 3d place; won 9, lost 7. 58 53 51 Page soixante THE 1945 BASKETBALL SEASON Our season opened with the team in perfect condition as we defeated St. Ber¬ nard’s 37-22. Good passing, a tight zone defense and some excellent set-shot shoot¬ ing enabled us to triumph in our initial game . . . Prevost H. S. of Fall River was our next prey, as the Greyhounds won handily. Our fast-clicking team scored 62 points to its opponent’s 36 ... In a game still undecided in the last minutes, we re¬ ceived our first taste of defeat, at the hands of St. Louis: 38-36. Both teams fought till the end but a last minute basket allowed the Cavaliers to win for them- seves a shaky victory . . . Playing last- quarter ball, the Greyhounds eeked out a 30-29 victory over Mary E. Wells. A 13- point spree in the last period gave us our 1 point margin . . . Our second defeat came at the hands of the Purple quintet from St. Peter’s. Gamely we fought to within a point of their lead but then dropped back to lose 37-33 ... St. Mary’s underdogs toppled us for a 39-28 victory. We were definitely skinned, it was our 1st real defeat of the year ... In our next next game we breezed past a Sacred Heart quinet 52-18 . . . Host to Trade we sur¬ prised everyone by running away with a 44-26 victory. Tribandis, the city’s leading point-getter was held scoreless. . . Again we fell to the Purple quintet. Leading by 6 points at the half we faded in the second frame to lose 39-37 . . . The St. Louis Cavaliers once again were a little too strong for us and we bowed to them at Webster by a score of 32-28. An 11 point- lead in the last period brought us within 2 points of the defending champs of the Catholic League but they held firmly till the end . . . After a slow first half we opened to throw a little fright into the t op- place St. John five. However our rally fell short and the Pioneers handed us our third 4 point setback ... In a low-scoring game at Fitchburg, the Greyhounds gave St. Bernard’s its first defeat on its home court this season. We were out in front most of the way. Final score 24-16 . . . At Sacred Heart we suffered a humbling 33-19 defeat. It was quite the reverse of our first encounter . . . Against a favored Commerce High team we piled up an early lead and maintained it till the first whistle. We scored 38 points to their 30 . . . The Blue and White was in excellent form as we whipped St. Mary’s 46-20. We led all the way and were never threatened. . . A 34-33 upset over the Champion St. John quintet concluded a satisfactory season. Our 21-16 halftime lead was cut short early in the second period. From then on it was a nip and tuck game. But as the final whistle blew the scoreboard read Assumption 34-St. John’s 33. (Left to right) First row: Albert G. Ferron; J. Raymond Bosse; Conrad A. Gaudreau; Jean-Louis Valois, captain: Rene J. Dube; Marcel L. St-Sauveur; Gilbert A. LeBlanc. Second row: Normand R. Cote, manager; J. Bernard Archambault; Arthur E. Bienvenue, Jr.; Rene J. Viau, Jr.; M. George E. Sherry, coach; Roland R. St. Louis; Kenneth I. Laprade; Paul L. Savard; Robert F. Rivest. THE 1945 BASEBALL TEAM In 1945, the Assumption Greyhounds, mentored by Brothers Georges Bisson- nette, a. a., and Donat were a hard¬ hitting, sure-fielding nine. Behind the steady pitching of Flash” Blais and Lefty Gaudreau, the Blue and White amassed an impressive record of six wins, marred by a single loss to Classical High. (It would not be fair to mention that it was a no-hit, no-run game.) Notwithstanding the loss of such regulars as captain Johnny” Picard, Beans Dubois, Jules Blackie” Viau, and Red” Rourke, the outcome of the ’46 season looms bright. Led by Captain-elect Marcel St. Sauveur, stellar backstop, the lineup will probably see Flash” Blais on the mound, supported by Paul Savco” Savard, Rene Snuffy” Dube, and Claren¬ ce Handsome” Bedard in the infield and Roland Saint” St. Louis, Jacques Jake” Morency, and Lefty” Gaudreau in the outfield. The strength of the team may be considerably increased by the hidden talent of our underclassmen. For Coach George Sherry and his forces, may the victories be numerous and decisive. Assumption ..

THE 1945 TRACK SEASON In the year 1945 the track team turned in an exceptional season. Running against stiff opposition, the Greyhounds won two out of three meets, and placed second best in the city. The only defeat, a two point setback, came at the hands of Classical High School in the closing meet of the season. This year the team will feel the loss of its former captain and high scorer, Rusty” Guilmain. However, the veterans and the unborn track stars of the Fresh¬ men classes will offer a serious threat to all competition. The returning veterans are: Captain-elect Gil” LeBlanc, Ken” Laprade, Red” Gaucher, Dick” Des¬ lauriers, Bob” Lafond, Rene” Chagnon, Narcisse Deroy, Jerry” Vermette, Ron¬ nie” Proulx, Al” Ferron, Mike” Belle¬ noit and Bob” Methot. Rusty” Guilmain will replace Paul Chretien as coach and under his guidance the track team will surely soar to new heights in the year of 1946.

Yiau, Jr.; Roger P. Caron; Joseph A. Cournoyer. The year 1945 saw the revival of varsity tennis at Assumption High. The team, strong and fast, reached the finals for the city championship only to be de¬ feated 5-4 by St. John’s in a hotly con¬ tested match. This year, 1946, though hampered by the loss of four first-stringers, Captain Ronald Lussier, Harold Carey, Donald Dufour, and George Dumas, the team again expects to reach the finals. Only two veterans remain, Captain-elect Donat Ruby” Robitaille, and 6’2” Rene Viau. To counterbalance this, we find many pro¬ missing aspirants: Guy Gibby” Giboin ’46, Leo Darsigny ’47, Laurent Therrien ’47, Roger Caron ’47, Roger Parenteau ’47, and Gilbert Bellerose ’47. Father Joseph Pelletier, a. a., will coach the team as in the past. Stressing team¬ work in doubles and a moderately fast, steady serve, he hopes to top last year’s record. 1945 RECORD: WON 3, LOST 2 May 9 -. _ Assumption _ .... 6 Worcester Academy n 0 May 12 _____. _ Assumption _ ..... 6 Classical __ 3 May 16 _ Assumption _ ..... 5 St. John’s _ 4 May 26 _ _ Assumption _ -- 3 St. John’s _ 6 June 13 .----- _ Assumption _ — 4 St. John’s __ 5 Page soixante-quatre cMiCfJllitflltl the Wosild ojj Sfianil m h ,: , R y| y . s A r • LiU r4 I OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY NOS CADETS Les cadets jouent un role assez important dans notre vie de versificateurs puisque ce sont eux qui nous servent de piedestal.
