Rev. Olivier R. Blanchette, a. a. L’Ecole Preparatoire de l’Assomption est de- sormais uiie institution independante obligee de se tenir debout seule. Vous les premiers gradues de cette “nouvelle” Ecole Preparatoire vous devez aussi vous tenir debout seuls, c’est-a-dire, etres des catholiques convaincus, capables de penser ca- tholiquement pour ensuite agir catholiquement. Nous esperons que vos annees a l’Assomption vous auront aide a devenir ces catholiques decides. Le but, cependant, est eleve et il y a des obstacles. En void deux que je voudrais soulignes. D’abord vous ne pourrez plus vous appuyer sur.la cadre ties ordonne de la vie de pensionnaire. Et, si c’est une bonne chose, ce ne sera pas une chose facile. Vous etes habitues a compter sur une cloche, un surveillant, un groupe d’eleves pour vous mettre au travail et a la priere. Cela manquera totalement on en partie et vous devrez quand meme l’etre des homines de devoir, vous devrez meme letre davantage car en vous approchant de la maturite votre vie doit dependre de convictions plus personnelles. L’autre obstacle c’est l’influence de la foule. Trop souvent les hommes, la jeunesse surtout, pensent comme la foule. Ce qui est fait par l’en- semble, ce que prechent les journaux et les reclames commerciales, 1’opinion et lat philosophic de la vie des etoiles de la television, du cinema, et des sports, tout cela parait bon ou du moins acceptable et l’individu semble se croire dispenser de juger la mortalite de ces actes suggeres par la voix popu¬ late. Se qui produit cet etrange phenomene d’un peuple qui croit une chose le dimanche et accepte plus ou moins passivement des principes con- traires le reste de la semaine ou en tout cas vit comme s’il les acceptait. Contre ces deux obstacles reagissez fortement tout de suite et toujours. Revenez-nous ensuite souvent. Nous serons fiers de vous comme nous esperons que vous le se rez de votre Alma Mater. 6 . 4

Pere Edgar Bourque, a.a. Prefet des Etudes. Our four years at Assumption are embodied in Father Edgar. Numerous are the times we found ourselves in line at his door waiting to see him. A great part or the majority of the memories of our school days at Assumption are traced back to our beloved dean. An incessant worker, a man devoted to his tremendous task of organizing a school year for four hundred students, make him a busy man, yet with all this, a man with whom we could still have the privilege of sitting down and discussing our prob¬ lems. The number and type of exams he administered to us to help us in many different ways proved to be most beneficial. Father’s task along with that of all the faculty w T as to make mature men out of immature boys. His efforts have not been in vain. As a priest, organizer, teacher, counselor, and friend, Father Edgar is remembered in the hearts of all the Seniors with the words “Merci beaucoup.” Fr. William Dubois, a.a. Dean of Discipline Assumption’s Fr. William is one of the most industrious and devoted deans our school has ever seen. Ever since he joined forces with Father Edgar, we have felt a constant improvement in all phases of our student life. To keep up with the times seems to be his aim. His youthful spirit has made him an in¬ spiration to many a student especially those who have been with “Wild Bill” on his hikes through the “rugged mountains of Worcester.” We Seniors re¬ member him as “study monitor”—the only one who ever kept us under complete control. For the sincerity and devotion which Father William so freely gave to Assumption, we Seniors will always be grateful. 6
