Vol. I Assumption High School, Worcester, Mass., November 1950. WHY THE HERITAGE? The year is young, our hopes are high, and we have a new name for our school paper: a better name, we think, one that will at last describe our ideal, if not our paper. Why are we discarding the old name: The Echo”? Because a paper that should truly deserve such a title does not answer to our ideal. What, after all, is an echo? It’s merely a rebound of sound. The sweet melodious strains of music rebound, but so does the thunder of canons. A paper that draws its life-blood from the four winds is very likely to print much of the incongruous and discordant. Indeed, was it not possible to find such tendencies in some of the articles of past Echoes”? True, a conservative measure of gossip is permissible, and perhaps even obligatory. However, the ideal of THE HERI¬ TAGE will be to present food for thought. Will the editors succeed in this worthy enterprise? Time will tell. What is our Heritage? The greatest of all gifts is the Catholic faith, our faith, our heri¬ tage. Many future editorials will consequently deal with this greatest (continued on page 5) Les Elections Un groupe d’eleves de Versification se reunit un soir d’octobre pour choisir les membres responsables de la redaction et de l’administration de notre revue. Lionel Simard, Versificateur conscien- cieux et populaire, membre de la Societe d’Honneur, fut elu redacteur en chef. II pourra deployer dans cette tache de con- fiance ses talents d’organisateur. Raymond Guay et Raynald Lemieux, tous deux egalement qualifies pour le Frangais et pour l’Anglais, ont fini par s’entendre: Raymond Guay prit pour sa part le Frangais et Raynald Lemieux s’at- tribua l’Anglais. Ils pourront compter sur la collabora¬ tion d’Ernest Beaulac; deja membre de differentes associations, ce dernier accep- ta d’etre un redacteur bilingue. William Dupuis qui a deja eu l’occa- sion de faire ses preuves, accepte la res- ponsabilite de gerant. II comptera sur l’aide de deux collaborateurs: Maurice Albert et Donald Dragon.

We, the students of Assumption High, have a great interest in this dogma be¬ cause of our Alma Mater. As our bish¬ op, His Excellency John J. Wright, pointed out in his pastoral letter on the Assumption, the diocese of Worcester has within its limits the only American college — and there is a high school too, — which takes its name from the Assumption of our Blessed Mother. A triduum of prayer to Mary was held on the campus, and our own Father Gil¬ bert gave the sermon at the Holy Hour on the evening of November first. In Quebec, the Assumptionists officiated at the basilica, where Father Engelbert of the college department gave the sermon. Then too, our Provincial, Father Wil- (Suite a la page 2) SON EMINENCE LE CARDINAL EUGENE TISSERANT Un Cardinal S ' arrete Chez Nous Dans les premiers jours de ce mois, quelques etrangers qui auraient passe par notre college, auraient demande: Est-ce une periode de vacances? est-ce le temps des examens?” Nous attendions avec im¬ patience une visite de marque, une de ces visites dont l’Assomption s’enorgueillira longtemps. A 6h.45 Son Eminence le Cardinal Eu¬ gene Tisserant, Secretaire de la Sacree Congregation pour l’Eglise Orientale et Eveque Titulaire de Sainte-Rufine entra au gymnase parmi les acclamations et les applaudissements. Ce fut d’abord le Pere Superieur qui prit la parole. Ensuite un collegien re- mercia Son Eminence en notre nom, pour l’honneur de sa visite. Le prelat fran ais exprima son affection et sa plus cordiale amitie pour les Assomptionistes. II a me- me eu la delicatesse d’attribuer sa voca¬ tion a une des publications de la Bonne Presse.
