THE SENIORS As the Seniors leave Assumption, they bring with them many pleasant memories, for they can look back on their final year here with both pride and nostalgia. In the domain of sports. Captain Arthur Fitzgerald, assisted by a number of other seniors, led his football team to a winning season, the first in several years. The hockey team, sparked by Captains Pete Marceau and Norm Provost ended up the year with a fine 8-3 record. Seniors Bert Bolduc and Emile Trahan along with Dave Chartier contributed greatly to the memorable achievements of the most outstandingly successful basketball team in Assumption’s history, which won the New England Catholic Championship at Lawrence, and also the Assumption College Tournament. The Seniors also demonstrated considerable scholastic talent. Eight of them received the distinction of being named to the National Honor Society and many others were on the honor roll regularly, and received honors at graduation. Seniors also formed the backbone of the school’s organizations and activi¬ ties. For instance, Gene Thuot worked tirelessly for the workshops, Paul Nor- mandin, Richard Picard and Joseph Beauchamp represented Assumption in debates with other schools, and Joseph Beauchamp, Eugene Thuot, Richard Picard and Donat Desrosiers served the school as officers of the Catholic Youth Council. The Seniors will also remember with gratitude the efforts of their class officers, the prom committee headed by Jean Na ult, the Memini-Heritage staff, and the many others who helped to make the year as enjoyable as it was. The Senior class officers.
