Underclassmen ... A ctivities and Sports N the Fall of 1958, the staff, editors and advisors of the 1959 MEMINI met to compare notes on the theme for this issue. We settled on that meaningful French phrase for so many years emblazoned on our school ' s coat-of-arms, je main- tiendrai. What we of the Prep family, administration, faculty and students, had, have and will have preserved through past years and after many years to come — the spirit of D ' AIzon- ian education, the tradition of French Catholic culture, the aims of American democracy, the principles of Christian idealism — were all bound up in those two commonplace French words. To explore, to expand, to explain that simple phrase: this was the challenge confronting us. Then came a tragic event in the life of the Church: the passing of the holy Pope Pius XII. The Church and we of it mourned, but rejoiced, too, in hav¬ ing had such a man among us. There came a renewed interest in his writ¬ ings. We, too, paused to read, and there found at once an answer to our challenge and a tribute to our loss. On almost every page we found clear, forceful statements of ideals, of tradition, of principle to end our search for the apt expression. Turn these pages to see our glean¬ ings from the mind and heart of a great Pope. They introduce each sec¬ tion; they grace other pages as well. They are but a small token of our esteem for the saintly Pope of all our formative years. They are also so much more exact an expression than any we might frame of that spirit that permeates every aspect of our Prep life. But most important, they in their simple eloquence, help us to see why any answer which we may give in the future to the world ' s question, Why do you live as you do? must begin with quiet and humble reflec¬ tions on the true meaning of je main- tiendrai. 1 Chers Gradues de 1959: Apres quatre ans d ' etude et de formation, vous quittez l’Ecole Preparatoire de 1 Assomption. Nous nous joignons a: vos parents et a vos professeurs pour vous souhaiter un grand succes dans vos entreprises. Je suis heureux, avant de quitt r Worcester, de profiter de cette occasion pour saluer les eleves et les professeurs de 1’Assomption. Des mon arrives a Worcester en 1950, j’ai vite compris le role important que 1’Assomption etait destine a jouer dans la vie spirituelle et culturelle du nouveau Diocese de Worcester. L’Eglise ne peut faire autrement que profiter de 1 ' influence d ' une ecole consacree a former la jeunesse dans une atmosphere de culture francaise sous le regard du crucifix. N Pendant notre sejour a Worcester, nous avons vu 1’Assomption ressusciter du fleau de la tornade avec une nouvelle vigueur. C ' est dans cet esprit de courage et d’enthousiasme que les peres Assomptionistes ont exprime leur devise: Je maintiendrai . Soyez fideles a cet ide ' al de force morale et vous ferez certainement honneur a votre Alma Mater. Veuillez agreer, avec notre benediction, nos ferventes prieVes pour votre succes. • . A. Fid.element votre dans le Christ, W-lrt _ My “Dear Students ... You have taken, to spell out your theme words of wisdom from the writings of Pius XII. Wise and reverent gesture! For in honoring the memory of the great Pope, you also aptly solve the mystery of why you chose, Je mainteindrai, I will preserve. Pius XII believed in progress but only when its roots were plunged deep into the best the past had to offer. Psychiatry — yes, but it must respect the unchanging nature of man and the constant rights of his conscience. Atomic energy, space-travel? Marvelous — provided that man always humbly keeps his place before the majesty of the Creator of all things. Liturgical changes are most assuredly in order. But the liturgy changes only in outer garment and mode of presentation that its eternal value may better attract the twentieth-century mind and heart. These were the convictions of the great Pontiff. You, too, wish to be of your age. But wisely you have recognized that you must not strike out recklessly in all directions, in science, in business, in religion, in medicine, in law, or in politics. You need roots. These roots are the well-molded character, the deep Catholic Faith we hope you developed thanks to your school, your home and your Church. They also are the well-balanced intellectual formation, the bi-lingual — better, the bi-cultural-training you received at Assumption Prep. This and much more is the living tradition we pray will be a part of you forever. Seen in this light, Je Maintiendrai is a fitting theme for the Class of 1959! sM ;Dedication Zo father Edgar Bourque, A-A- WE HEARD A VOICE TWO THOUSAND YEARS WISE; Sons of mine, take a lesson from your father; A lesson that will make discerning men of you, If you but heed it. Wisdom be your goal, though your quest, mere knowledge, urges; Keep her as your guardian; cherish her, your preserver. Wiseness is a lamp to guide you, Teaching, a light to beckon you, The learnings corrections gave you, signposts on the road called lif For the prudent, skill guides every action; Ignorance but betrays the fool. Never lose sight of these words; cherish them in your inmost hearts. Let a man master them; they will bring life And healing to your whole being. THIS IS A FATHER’S LOVE, EXPRESSED IN THE HOURS OF TRIAL; THIS IS A DEAN’S WISDOM, SO OFTEN A SOURCE OF STRENGTH. THEREFORE, WE, THE CLASS OF 1959, EVER STRIVING TO BE LIVING ECHOES OF YOUR WISDOM, DEDICATE THIS YEARBOOK TO YOU, FATHER EDGAR. The student body returned last September to find the office of the Dean of Students occupied by Father Philip. The Sophomores well remembered him as a competent teacher of Religion. Again this year, but at this new post, he proved himself fully as competent. The Student Council will not soon forget his ability to plan, organize, direct and follow up student projects. He labored constantly in our behalf and showed himself most understanding in any situation. To Father Philip, therefore, the Class of ' 59 gives well deserved thanks. He has done much for us which we shall not forget. Father Philip Bonvouloir, A.A. Father Maur ice All aire, A.A. The Externs in Study Hall knew him to be serious and strict, but we can ' t say he was oppressive; he did create a very bright and healthy atmosphere in which to study. Outside of study, he was quite amiable, and without the black robe, he could be mistaken for one of the boys. He took the newly-created job of Assistant Dean of Students in stride and turned in his usual commendable job. One thing for which we shall all remember him is the way he mixed philosophy with discipline. He wasn ' t content to tell us that we had done wrong but continually reminded us that our present habits could become our future principles. He may have been short in stature, but he certainly was long on wisdom. Frere Armand Goffart, A. A. C’est pour nous une grande joie de feter le Frere Armand Goffart a Toccasion du cinquantieme anniversaire de ses voeux perpetuels. En meme temps nous voulons lui exprimer publiquement notre reconnaissance pour les nombreux et varies services qu’il a rendus a l’Ecole Preparatoire de l’Assomption pendant ces cinquante annees. Car le frere a passe presque toute sa vie religieuse ici en s’occupant de nos malades, de notre cuisine, et de toute autre affaire qu’on lui confia. Et cela avec un devouement total et un visage toujours souriant. II n’y a personne d’entre nous qui n’a pas recu un jour ou Tautre ses services d’infirmiers, et tous nous nous rappelons ses banquets somptueux. A lui done un grand merci du fond de notre coeur! ' f . . . make teaching live, make students think and uncover for each . . . the talents he has at his disposal. Pius XII, Pupils and Teachers in Delayed Education (Doc. 162, p. 387) pg. 33. Pere Etienne Aubert, A,A. Le Pere Etienne nous familiarisa avec les grands auteurs de la litterature frangaise. De plus, en nous montrant le developpement du genie de nos grands auteurs: Moliere, Racine, et Corneille, il en fit des applications pratiques a notre propre vie. Nous demeurerons, sans doute, toujours en- dettes envers le Pere Etienne pour notre connaissance de la France et de sa litterature. Pere Yvon Dubois, A.A. Ceux de la classe de ’59 qui ne con- naissant pas le fran ais en arrivant a l’Assomption le parlaient pas mal cou- ramment a la fin de notre quatrieme annee. Le Pere Yvon — qui, a lui seul et pendant trois ans, fut, pour ainsi dire, notre precepteur particular en fran ais — croit qu’une langue ne s’apprend qu’en le parlant. Aussi n’a-t-il jamais prononce une parole d’anglais dans ses cours: c’est pourquoi nous comprenons si bien le fran ais. Nos plus vifs re- merciements au Pere Yvon de tout ce qu’il a fait pour nous aider a gouter la langue et la culture fran aises. Father Gilbert Chabot, A.A. Father Gilbert’s Senior Latin was more than just the study of a classical lan¬ guage. True, we learned much about syntax, vocabulary, translation arts and all the rest. But we learned something beyond. We had a glimpse of some of the beauties of Gregorian Chant, heard of the value of a liberal arts education and, what’s more, saw it in the person of the warm, jolly Father Gilbert, ver¬ satile and capable. Both the man and his classes, which we looked forward to, we sincerely appreciate. Father John Gaudet, A.A. For most of us, Senior English study proved a grand climax to the three previous years. For Father John’s stu¬ dents it was simply more so. He pol¬ ished up our composition, improved our research and term-paper writing techniques, further enlarged our vocab¬ ularies and broadened our literary in¬ terests and tastes. For his classes characterized by a great variety of sub¬ ject matter spiced with his native hu¬ mor, we say, Thanks,” to Father John. Father Noel Collette, A.A. For the past three years Father Noel has served the Class of ’59 well, not only as a capable teacher, but also as a wise counselor. In the classroom he taught with the zeal and vigor of the devoted professor. Outside the class¬ room he advised us on class and in¬ dividual problems as Father and friend. Father Noel has certainly helped to guide and enrich the Prep years of the Class of ’59; they will not soon forget it. Mr. Thomas Gilmartin Mr. Gilmartin, being a newcomer to our list of teachers, left us somewhat uncertain about what to expect from him at first. However, his personable manner and ready wit soon made each class a realm of its own. That he al¬ ways provided his students with a wealth of interesting data, that he was devoted to his class: these are under¬ statements. A believer in the integrated view of life, he urged us always to work for greater knowledge. The Class of ’59 says Thanks” for all his effort and concern for us. Mr. Donald Lapointe Those of us who shared in the pleasure of having Mr. Lapointe as mathematics professor agree that, not only has he labored to instill in us a solid founda¬ tion in trigonometry, but he has strived equally hard to make us better and more mature Christian gentlemen. His words for the day” will long be re¬ membered. Hats off to Mr. Lapointe, who, although a relative newcomer to the Prep faculty, has found a special place in our hearts as well as in our minds. Mr. Alphonse Palaima Everyone knows Mr. Palaima as a genial, good-natured man; only his stu¬ dents came to know him to be even more — a great classics instructor. Because of his mastery of his subject, he was able to give us some of that wealth of classical Greek thought. What he gave us was always interesting, live¬ ly, lasting. Two years with Mr. Palaima are two years which we are not apt to forget — ever. Pere Gerard Messier, A.A. Le Pere Gerard, bien qu’il soit un nou¬ veau venu dans notre faculte, est deja tres estime par la plupart des Seniors. Sa lecture animee du Petit Prince,” ainsi que sa personnalite si charmante, aide a soutenir toujours l’attention des eleves. Sans nul doute, tant de belles qualites ne seront jamais oubliees par les jeunes de l’Assomption. Mr. Robert Palson No different than previous classes, the Class of ’59 looked with apprehension toward the study of chemistry. But soon after school started, Mr. Palson removed all our fears as he got down to teaching us the fundamentals of chemistry. Dur¬ ing the year, even though it was a lot of extra work for him, he provided us with many useful aids to learning like the model test, the extra credit question and the little quiz.” One of tbe most de¬ voted teachers, Mr. Palson worked al¬ most unceasingly to help us, and would not hesitate to stay at school long after classes to give extra help to those who requested it. ’59 extends its deepest grati¬ tude to one of its most popular profs. Mr. Joseph Mondor Civics, history, and government are Mr. Mondor ' s forte; tests are his avocation. The combination has helped him to provide us with a clear and comprehen¬ sive knowledge of these studies during our last two years at the Prep. His well- directed discussions and debates on timely and thought-provoking issues, his thorough coverage of the text, have clearly showed us the method of history study. More important, they have made us see the value and influence of history in our daily lives. For this understand¬ ing, the Class of ’59 says, Thanks, Mr. Mondor.” Mr. Edward Powers If most of us had come to think of English as being a tiresome tour of grammar and Shakespeare, we were soon forced to change that opinion, mainly because of Mr. Powers. To his ability to teach us the depth of Shakes¬ peare he added another dimension: humor that made the subject matter both interesting and understandable. Mr. Powers, one of the best-liked teachers in the school, will not soon or easily be forgotten by the Class of ’59. Fr. Lawrence Richard, A.A. Father Lawrence will long be remem¬ bered as the amiable, energetic English professor of Senior C. He labored many hours trying to instill in his students the value of Hamlet, of Milton’s poems, and the finer points of English prose. He devoted his time to the betterment of his students; he was truly absorbed in this task. Therefore, to Father Law¬ rence, the Class of ’59 extends its warm and well-earned gratitude. Mr, Lawrence Simpson Mr. Simpson, a newcomer to our fac¬ ulty this year, soon showed the skill of the old hand.” He knew his subject well and he also knew how to put it across to his students. His good nature and enthusiasm for his students earned their deepest respect. His fairness in all cases also earned him the respect of his students. His exceptional knowledge of Roman and Greek history, mythology and customs often amazed and delight¬ ed his classes. ’59’s noble Romans” say Thanks” to Mr. Simpson for a year well spent. Mr. Bernard Tremblay At the beginning of the year, trigo¬ nometry was indeed a mystery to many Seniors. As the year advanced, Mr. Tremblay began to prove that trigo¬ nometry could be both interesting and understandable. He tried to implant in his students the notion that math is not simply the memorizing of methods and principles, but the understanding of them. To Mr. Tremblay we extend our appreciation, not only for proving him¬ self a capable professor, but for proving that math need not be mysterious. Fr. Ildefons Van De Linden, A.A. One of the most popular Senior pro¬ fessors, Father Ildefons’ most obvious and appreciated talents were his thor¬ ough knowledge of mathematics and his gift for imparting that knowledge to us. For his talents and accomplishments and for hours of work with our em¬ bryo Math Club, the Seniors are deeply grateful. Rev. Robert G. Ward La contribution du College a la liste de nouveaux professeurs pour l’annee scol- aire ’58-’59 fut le Rev. Robert G. Ward. Une maniere affable, des explications precises, et un sourire engageant lui ont bientot acquis le respect des Versi- ficateurs. Nous avons quitte sa classe plus surs de notre grammaire franqaise, plus habiles dans la lecture, et plus a l’aise dans la conversation. Le Pere Ward s’est montre a la fois capable et devoue. Nous, la classe de ’59, lui sommes reconnaissants de nous avoir fait beneficier de ses deux qualites. M e m. o r i a m S long as the name of Assumption remains in the annals of education, of Valmore X. Gaucher will be there beside it. His spirit, his zeal for education helped Assumption achieve its high standards. H is smile, his humor added a new spice for his classes to savor. His good will and helpfulness kindled the hearts of the many who knew him as a friend. Even on those who knew him only as a vibrant personality, he made a lasting impression. We, the members of the Class of 1959, offer him our humble and fervent prayers in grateful remembrance.

CLASS HISTORY CLASS OF ' 59, WHAT IS YOUR HISTORY? What is our history — four years as a part of Assumption — four years filled with memorable experiences and wonderful friendships which time will find difficult to erase from our memories — four years which yielded many experiences, which saw many fall by the wayside and still others come to take their places with us — four years of hard work, joy, a little discouragement and, finally, the beginnings of appreciation of everything Assump¬ tion means — four years ending too soon as we become the 51st graduating class. As we look back upon those four years, we are enveloped in mixed emotions. We laugh at some old escapades; we recall wistfully how often we were unappreciative of things which seem so different now. It ' s 1955. One hundred and forty-nine happy freshmen are coming up Homer Gage Avenue, are saying good-bye to anxious, tristful parents, are setting out to conquer the years ahead. We quickly become friends and settle ourselves for the un¬ expected events which lay before us. In Dorms I and II, the freshmen dorms, an evidently youthful Brother Paul, and the monitors ( Stonewall, Shake¬ speare, Beak, Rudy, and ' Fit-coq ) finally succeed in subduing us — but not until we have launched the first peanut-satellites (of course the Class of ' 59 led the space race!) The following morning at 5:30 a.m. we meet Fr. Gregory, the Dean of Students, and have our first taste of Assumption discipline. Soon we begin to produce grey hairs on the freshmen profs, Mr. Pages, Dr. Kunst, Mr. Gaucher, Fr. Edward, Fr. Marius, Fr. Arthur, et al. We masterfully conquer the schedule and begin looking forward to week¬ ends and their enjoyable moments. This becomes a memorable year: 25 movies on Saturday, losing trunk keys. Porter, Page, Bellino, Moriarty, etc., dinner-time mail call, falling belts, a spooky Hallowe ' en party, potato chips in dorm, and more. Classical conjugations are murdered; new de¬ clensions appear. Seniors talk us into shining shoes, profs keep us busy and letters from home keep spirits high. South Americans are unwarily hood¬ winked into the mail-order business, the football team has a successful season and freshmen begin to achieve recognition through sports or studies. Thanksgiving comes along; whoops, it ' s Christmas vacation. The upperclassmen are devoted to our destruction in snowball skirmishes, the hockey team is doing well, and the basketball team is going to tournaments. We proudly find ourselves champs of the New England Catholic Basketball Tournament and the Assumption College Tourney. Field Day awakens sleeping muscles and now we are officially members of the Assumption family. We go down to the movies or Queenies and begin to buy our books for Sophomore year. The end of the year flies by, we take final exams, and then we are heading for home. It ' s September, 1956. A Sophomore group that has dwindled to 101 returns to spend another year at the Prep. But the Prep has changed. We are now in Dorm III and Study III. We are shocked by Fr. Camille ' s morning sprint through the aisles to shatter sweet, restful dreams. We find Soph profs Fr. Alfred, Mr. Lemenager, Mr. Tremblay, Mr. Bonin, and the younger Mr. Gaucher more gener¬ ous, the work more challenging, and the grades less encouraging. We are more quiet in dorm, but we hold secret meetings in a certain location. Someone throws a penny at Fr. Camille ' s metal door — This is precisely uncalled for! There is a TV in the lecture hall for our leisure time entertainment. The C. Y. C., which is now developing rapidly as the school ' s system of Student Government, sponsors the Discussion Groups. New monitors are keeping us busy ( Andy and B.B.S. ). The class is divided into many little cliques. Tho Glee Club determines to sing with Venerini, and many Sophomores join. Our classmates begin to hold imoortant positions in the school; others appear in the limelight of sports success. We gain a reputation for doing zany things between classes (like throwing books out windows!). Fr. William is Dean of Students and he disapproves of many of our customs — our chorus is stopped in the middle of Happy Birthday at the dinner table. The basketball team has another good season, wins the Western Mass. Tourney and then competes in the New England Tourney at the Boston Garden. We finish the Stork Club, go to Queenies, now Pete ' s, and become pizza-specialists, aid and abet the development of Elvis Presley and R R, form Les Boys, and throw a few profs into the pool on Field Day. Soon we are watching the Seniors stage a dramatic automobile parade, cause a few gangland murders with water pistols and leave for another summer. It ' s fall, 1957. Taller, quieter Juniors, 78 strong, we return to take the place of upperclassmen. Al¬ though we have again dwindled in number, our spirit is much more unified and we are determined to last out or at least outlast our remaining Prep years. Names like Bergeron, Casavant, Dugas, De- Witt, Routhier, and more are out of sight. With a number of Juniors on the squad, our football team promises to be the best in years. Some of us are now denizens of Fr. Noel ' s famous corridor. New members bring youth and exuberance into the class. Intramurals are taken more seriously and we begin advanced math courses while Sputnik circles over¬ head. The prices are higher in the candy-store, but we are helping fight off the threat of a recession. The girls from St. Christopher ' s aren ' t coming any more. Many of us now have licenses so we have regular gatherings at the Totem Pole. We have a fall dance and a dance at Notre Dame Academy. Freshmen seem smaller than ever, and a busier schedule proves that we are up higher on the ladder of Prep School education. Jackie Foley leads the basketball team to another fine season and wins the honor of All-American as he heaps glory on himself and the school. (A ten-day vacation, thanks to the Asian Flu epidemic, halts the footb all season and cancels the Hallowe ' en party.) The Christmas party is great and then one-a-day brand mid-year exams have a stunning effect. The days are flying by, and we soon are going through the College Boards — trial run. Spring is here; Already! we chorus. We are beginning to take over the leadership of the school. We print our first issue of the Heritage, watch the Seniors take their class trip and find June around the corner. Once more we pack up, wade through final exams, and realize that those long four years are almost over. It ' s September, 1 958. With a regal air, 72 Seniors, bolstered by the addition of new faces and P.G. ' s, walk up to the door for their final year. Again names have passed on from the roll: Rock, Plourde, Wojcik, Buyniski, Gallant — gone but not forgotten. We find ourselves leading the school and we de¬ termine to do a job on it. Some of us don ' t have our class rings anymore, but we smile contentedly. We find the monitors of Senior Row different from M. Normand, but we don ' t have time to waste dur¬ ing study periods. The football team seems beset by bad luck and the Hallowe ' en party sports a wide variety of talent. The Jewelry sale lives on for many weeks as an excuse to miss class. The homogenious system of class grouping has a stimu¬ lating effect, we all agree, and many of us go beyond the call of duty trying to become good young chemists. Fall is gone already and we ' ve murdered Hamlet. We pin dim hopes on the Basketball and Hockey teams who prove regularly that the Assumption spirit will not die. We are being threatened about not paying for our College Boards in time, but the members of the Charlie Brown Club come through and meet the tests with success. The axe rises again as funds are low for the yearbook and class treasury, but we hit our goals with seconds to spare. Not to be outdone by the men at Cape Canaveral, we erect our own Jupiter C chimney which doesn ' t get off the ground either, but keeps us warm while repairs are made on the old chimney. We are worrying about college acceptance, but the French tasks keep us from having too much spare time. John Brown ' s Body moulders in the grave, while we anxiously plan the Prom and finish up the year¬ book. Some of us crash through the driving course with Easter only a few weeks away. The One-Day Flu knocks out February exams, and Easter vaca¬ tion sneaks up behind us before we can plan for it. We ready our pictures and graduation cards for Easter vacation. Too soon it ' s the night of the prom — a truly dazzling success which is a tribute to the work put into it. The final months are slipping by without time to appreciate them. Exams bring back vague memories of Virgil and Milton; graduation plans are squeezed in when we find time. The spring dance is an enjoyable evening and then — well, the next thing is graduation, and we are alumni of Assumption Preparatory School. Four long years have rapidly melted into the mold of each of us. We stand now upon the for¬ bidding threshold of college and future life. With a lump in our throats, we admit that the time has gone by awfully fast, that we could have done more to appreciate it. But, it ' s too late now, because our four years are over. We are the Class of ' 59. f r . . . youth new and vibrant in its fresh¬ ness and vigor, with eyes fixed on the future and also with an unrestrain able impulse directed to the highest ideals . . . youth determined to improve on the past and obtain more solid conquests of greater value to the progress of man on earth.

NOEL THERIAULT FONTAINE BOYDA Cast Will and Zest ament of the Class of 1959 WE , THE SENIORS , BEING OF RELATIVELY SOUND MIND AND BODY , WISH TO BEQUEATH MANY GENEROUSLY OFFERED GIFTS TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW US. ARTICLE I Faculty 1. To Father Oliver, a friendly and conscientious Headmaster, we leave the paltry sum of $5,000,000 for a new building fund, and a warning to be on guard for our sons who will be hitting the school before our class is forgotten. 2. To Father Edgar, our close friend and advisor, we leave our sincere thanks for all the advice and coun¬ sel he has given us, and a 10-foot marble statue of Charley Brown. 3. To Fathers Philip and Maurice, our genial deans of discipline, we leave (you guessed it) a carton of Lucky Strikes, and the latest edition of that popular book, How To Make A Foolproof Rule Book. 4. To Father Donat, our smiling Athletic Director, we contribute $1,000,000 for a new athletic plant including a gymnasium, a cage, a fieldhouse, a number of playing fields, and a scholarship fund for the sons of Mickey Mantle, Bob Cousy, Rocket Richard, Herb Elliott, Pancho Gonzales, and Jim Brown. 5. To the wonderful Sisters who prepare our meals, we happily donate 25 shares of stock in the Skippy Peanut Butter Co., and also in the Cain Mayonnaise Co. 6. To Mr. Palson, our devoted Chemistry prof, we leave a $10,000 grant for research into the essential characteristics of marsh gas. We are sure that this gift, along with new and improved laboratory fa¬ cilities, will perpetuate the memory of our class with all the future young chemists at Assumption. 7. To all other profs we have had, we wish to make known our appre¬ ciation for their efforts in our be¬ half. We are grateful to them for their perseverance, and to show our gratitude we donate a larger, more comfortable faculty room and funds which will make possible a $.03 per hour raise for the lay profs. 8. To the lay brothers and the other workers who kept the school clean and comfortable, we leave the peace which will reign, un¬ broken, in the halls after our de¬ parture. ARTICLE II Underclassmen 1. To the Juniors we give the rights to the Senior privileges, the hal¬ lowed halls of Senior Row, and a reputation which they couldn ' t possibly live up to. 2. To the Sophomores we contrib¬ ute the idea that they may some¬ day become Seniors, the next edition of an Assumption-fostered band, and the crazy rumors that Senior profs are really hard. 3. To the Freshmen, who are be¬ ginning to realize what Assump¬ tion means, we contribute our sympathy and our best wishes. 4. To any enterprising Junior, John Mullins leaves his ability to raise money for any worthwhile (?) cause and his Santa Claus suit. 5. To Harvey Bernard, Red O ' Meara leaves his supply of red hair dye. 6. To Eddie Lynch, Dan and Jim Del Negro leave a collection of maps and football articles to prove that Gloversville, New York, really exists. 7. To his brother Dave, Malcolm Root leaves the Root Tradition. 8. To any ambitious Junior, Tony Detarando will give up his back¬ breaking schedule of meetings at 4:10 and 5:10 p.m. 9. To any Junior who can meet his price. Roll Cournoyer will give up his millions of telephone numbers. 10. To the new Finance Director, Leo Brassard tearfully turns over 500 boxes of Christmas Cards and a copy of his new book. How To Get Rich In Your Free Time. 11. To all those who follow us, we offer the memory of an As¬ sumption that will never die.

The Prep ' s 1958-59 Football Season was a rather sad one as far as wins were concerned. Yet, the undying spirit of the team never lagged, and we learned the meaning of the words good sports. This year, in the middle of the season, Mark Foley, former Holy Cross College guard, took over the coaching reins for the ailing Eddie Boule. Although hampered by a lack of experienced men. Coach Boule, with a lot of hard work and wonderful co-operation, managed to as¬ semble a well-balanced club. The few students who turned out for the team worked very hard. With but three veterans, Gerry Prunier, left halfback; John Grenier, right halfback; and Luke Foley, quarterback, the Monks were forced to field eight inexperienced players who had never before started a game: Pete Kelleher, fullback; Rene Bonneau and Roland Laroche, ends; Senior Phil Caron and Les DiCicco, tackles; Senior Bill Gadbois and Pat Moran, guards; and Senior Ron Lewos at center. Senior stalwart Gerry Prunier and Sopho¬ more sensation John Grenier were offensive standouts, with Gadbois, Caron and DiCicco doing the honors on defense. Seniors Mike Haran, John Gabrielian, and Dan Del Negro contributed much to the squad and the season. The Schedule: St. Bernard ' s at the Bernardian Bowl; Bartlett High at Webster; Wachusett Regional at Holden; Notre Dame of Fitchburg at the Bernardian Bowl, and Classical at Rodier Field (rained out). Basketball ... With the graduation of Jackie Foley (All-American), Dave Con¬ nors, Pete Deckers, and Norm Routhier, the outlook for the Monks 7 1958-59 court campaign at the outset looked pretty dis¬ mal. Yet when the season had come to an end, everyone had to agree that it had been a hard- fought, well-played one. The record (7-9) does not seem so un¬ impressive, when we consider that this year ' s Monks had only one returning starter from the 1957-58 campaign, John Gren¬ ier, and only three other letter- men, Senior co-captains Charlie Keenan and Gerry Prunier, and Norm Yvon. With this year ' s squad, comprising four seniors, four juniors and three sopho¬ mores, Coach Charlie Bibaud faced the task of building a ball club that had only limited experi¬ ence. Starting in the forecourt was 6 ft. 2 in. John Gabrielian, the chief rebounder for the Prepsters. John not only played well on de¬ fense, but constantly came through with clutch hoops. In the other corner was Steve Gabriel¬ ian, a good jump shot artist and a smooth ball player who im¬ proved greatly as the year pro¬ gressed. Turning to the backcourt we had short, stocky but exception¬ ally fast Johnny Grenier. High- scorer Johnny not only played well offensively, but excelled on defense, too. Many a time he out-rebounded players who were three and four inches taller. Our co-captains, Gerry Prunier and Chuck Keenan, also played in the backcourt. This pair of average-sized ball players play¬ ed a fast, scrappy type of basket¬ ball. Working as the playmakers of the team, they helped the always-hustling Monks to many a victory, often proving them¬ selves the only players able to hold the team together when the going was rough. Jimmy Monahan and Bobby Kenny were also a big help this season. Mouse Yvon and Steve Warner with their hustle also gave Monk followers many excit¬ ing moments. So throughout the ' 59 season, though lacking in substantial ex¬ perience, these hustling Monks did show something that delight¬ ed the eyes of every fan: Spirit, Determination, and especially Potential. Juniors Norm Yvon, Steve Warner, Brian Cronin, and George Murphy and sophomores Johnny Grenier, Jim Monahan, and Bobby Kenny saw extensive game service that should prove helpful to Coach Bibaud in re¬ building another powerhouse.

The ' 59 Assumption sextet enjoyed a comme- ci, comme-ca season. Our spirited puck carriers, after a slow start, came fighting back midway in the season to play on even terms with the rest of the scheduled teams, and finally climaxed the year with a 2-2 tie with the state championship-bound Marlboro squad. Led by Captain Tom Sullivan, who placed on the All-Star team, and Larry McCarthy, the Monks proved to be more than a formidable foe throughout the ' 5 9 campaign. And who can ever forget the almost impregnable wall called Roland LaRoche, whose great stops proved a decisive factor in many tilts? Who can forget the aggressiveness of Larry Mc¬ Carthy and Jim Hjerpe or that die-hard spirit of the first line in those many close matches? Woodie Dubois, director of the second line, along with Phil Murphy, Phil O ' Malley, Dave Proulx, Pete Shudlark, and Bill Millett cannot go unmentioned either. All in all, the Monks icemen played spirited, hard, clean hockey in the Monk tradition. Front Row, left to right: J. Hjerpe, P. Murphy, T. Sullivan, R. LaRoche, L. McCarthy, P. O ' Malley, P.
