Assumption Preparatory School - Memini Yearbook (Worcester, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1961 volume:

4 W H ATS RIGHT WITH YOUTH? Sound different? . . . We hope so! We of the ' 61 Memini staff are tired of hearing all the negative remarks about our generation. We know our generation has faults, problems; we know it has hopes, ambitions, and ideals, too. We agree with Bishop Flanagan, with Father Oliver, with the others we have quoted in these pages, all wise people who see youth as something more than a kind of disease. We intend to do what we can to defeat such negative thinking. We are beginning by publishing this yearbook, by letting these young people, with a picture story of their actions, refute the notion that our whole teen-age group is escapist, is soft, is irresponsible, is morally feeble. Our editor summed up our thinking in a letter to a local paper when he wrote that our generation was very concerned with the realities, the problems, the plain moral defabrication of this country. As he put it, We even worry about it. We have had bad dreams about it. Even if we are sheltered to ... a degree, the real and dirty ugliness of the world about us would not fail to gain our attention, He spoke for us then; he speaks for us now. We intend to keep on speaking — through this book. We are not offering it as eighty or so pages of self-congratulations, but as proof that good things are being done, that there are places where people our age can learn to do better. We are not going to answer the question, What ' s right with youth? ' ' We are going to show YOU! Zke Senior Class Annual of Assumption Preparatory School Worcester, Massachusetts T is good to note that you have chosen for your theme this year, What ' s right with youth. One hears so much about what is wrong with youth that it is encouraging to learn you are convinced that the picture is not all black. And, indeed, despite all that we see and hear of delinquency among many young people in our day, there is a brighter, though less publicized, side to the picture. The late Pope Pius XII evidently felt this way about our Catholic youth. This germination of youth from a generation which almost seemed doomed to extinction, His Holiness once said, is marvelous and charming. It is a youth new and vibrant in its freshness and vigor, with eyes fixed on the future and also with an unrestrainable impulse directed to the highest ideals. It is a youth determined to improve on the past and obtain more solid con¬ quests of greater value to the progress of man on earth. In my contacts with our Catholic young people, especially through our Youth Council, I have noted an awareness of the challenge which our prese nt world and society present to them. The importance of a good education, the attention and careful thought given to the selection of a college to fur¬ ther their education, and the sacrifices which many young people are willing to make in order to attain this goal are notable characteristics of modern American youth. I think, too, that there is a marked increase in the number of Catholic young people who recognize the implications and responsibilities of their membership in the Mystical Body of Christ. They understand that it is no longer enough to be just a passively good Christian, but that one must also be apostolic and on fire with zeal to bring the influence of our faith and moral standards to bear upon others who do not share this precious heritage. Wherever they have been given the op¬ portunity to assume positions of responsibility, ac¬ cording to their age, and to carry out cultural. spiritual and social programs aimed at extending this influence, our Catholic young people have risen to the challenge with admirable zeal and enthu¬ siasm. While I would naturally wish that there were many more Catholic youth who fulfilled this descrip¬ tion, I am definitely not among those who consider modern youth a lost generation. On the contrary, I am confident that with the direction and guidance being given to them by so many devoted priests and adult advisers, and with their own youthful devotion to high ideals, our young American Catho¬ lics will develop in increasing numbers into the better men and women needed to build the better world of tomorrow. With the late Pope Pius XII, I hold that, Today our Catholic youth is one of the finest forces to be relied upon. Sincerely yours in Christ, Bishop of Worcester headmaster’s Message Dear Graduates of 1961: I have been asked to vindicate the reputa¬ tion of teen-agers. Upon reflection it seems best not to undertake the task. Rather should I leave it to you and your co-teen-agers, for your own actions will be your most objective judges and, we believe, your staunchest de¬ fenders. I will content myself with putting these unrelenting attacks in perspective: I will cut them down to size. This may help you to meet head on the challenge of these charges. Let ' s begin with the beginning: original sin. Common to mankind, original sin is nonethe¬ less rarely mentioned. Unknown to some, dis¬ regarded by others, this blight on all human ity explains, at least in part, many of the deviations in young and old. It accounts in some measure for the waywardness of youth whose fresh and unbridled passions wounded by this primeval sting are harder to check and to direct. Naive, indeed, are those who hope that universal education will eventually pro¬ duce the perfect teen age generation! History also aids in putting this matter in focus by reminding us that times haven ' t changed that much. Remember the quotations found in your Heritage of February 8, 1960? Youth is a lunatic. — Hindu Proverb, Ageless. Corruption, vice and laxity are the rule today. This is particularly true among our youth. Our society cannot endure, for the young men of our race are given up unto vain pleasures. They think n ot of tomorrow. They live in folly for the day. Woe, woe to our land, the land of our fathers. — Urukagina, King of Sumeria, 2545 B.C. The atrocious crime of being a young man, which the honorable gentleman has with such spirit and decency charged upon me, I shall neither attempt to palli¬ ate nor deny; but content myself with wishing that I may be one of those whose follies may cease with their youth, and not of that number who are ignorant in spite of experience. — William Pitt, House of Commons, 1741, A.D. And if the ancient teen-age problem has worsened are not the adults who are im¬ mediately responsible for the world your gen¬ eration has been brought up in somewhat to blame? Mustn ' t at least some of them share the responsibility for the accusations hurled at you? Isn ' t it through the vicarious though intense experience of smart adult American life that young people get their first ideas? Isn ' t it, as Bishop Sheen declares, because youth senses that too often adults have no true respect for Divine authority and law that it all too readily refuses to recognize parental authority and civil law? I am not exonerating teen-agers; I am merely striving to put the situation in its proper perspective. Youth maintains its re¬ sponsibility. Last, but most important, is the fact that you in a special way as young men of Assump¬ tion and all of youth because of the mercy of God, retain the power of doing good, of becoming or remaining virtuous. The words of St. Paul apply well here: For if by the offense of the one the many died, much more has the grace of God, and the gift in the grace of the man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many. When in later years you return to these pages, may you discover, in all simplicity, that the seeds of the hard-earned virtues, the solid accomplishments of your maturity had been sown and cultivated during the teen-age years recorded in these pages. This will be the long awaited moment of vindication. For a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. (Matt. 7:18). s ' ' MAURICE R. ALLAIRE, A.A., ACTING DEAN OF STUDIES In his first year as Dean of Studies, he did a tremendous job in helping each of us take another big step in educa¬ tion. He was always willing to discuss the student ' s problems with him, and his advice was welcomed and respected by all. His great understanding of youth created an atmosphere of friendliness which always helped us to feel relaxed in his presence. As Dean he was very good; as a friend he was even better. He took an avid interest in student activities, knowing very well that the complete man is composed of a sound mind in a sound body. We are indeed lucky to have had such a man to guide us. PHILIP E. BONVOULOIR, A.A., DEAN OF STUDENTS As Dean of Students, he taught us the value of discipline in our lives. He was indeed the student ' s friend, always ready to help a student with a problem, no matter what it concerned. Later on in life when we look back on the years we spent at Assump¬ tion, we will thank him for greatly hastening our formation. He was a strict but understanding discip¬ linarian. We all remember the numerous privileges he granted us. As moderator of alhletics, he did much to encourage our participation in sports. Rest assured he will not be forgotten by any of us.

BOISSONEAULT Secretary to the Headmaster Recorder Everything these days is in terms of psychology. Who are we youth not to be with it? So we came up with these words from an American psychologist, William James. He said: Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be. If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself. He can with perfect certainty count on waking up some fine morning, to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation, in whatsoever pursuit he may have singled out. Silently, between all the details of his business, the power of judging in all that class of matter will have built itself up within him as a possession that will never pass away. Young people should know this truth in advance.” We do know this truth in advance. We have learned it from those who have taught us how to keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day.” On the pages that follow you may see those who — both by word and by example —- have taught this truth — the faculty of Assumption Prep.

' ’ Lyman Bryson, of TV and radio panel fame, once wrote, Youth thinks intelligence a good substitute for experience, and his elders think experience a substitute for intelligence. Cynical, we admit, and a bit unfair too, at least if we are speaking about the Prep ' s underclassmen. We saw them as intelligent, yes, but as receptive to the training and example of their elders, professor, priest or parent, as well. We know their elders here at the Prep as skillful combiners of experience and intelligence; we see these underclassmen, based on their records in class and out, as solid replacements for their elders. In fact knowing them, we think it may have been they whom Henry Adams had in mind when he wrote: What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn.

Youth is such a precious thing, it ' s a shame to waste it on children. So the saying goes, based on the idea that youth is all energy and no purpose. In contrast, here are remarks about their activities from some of the Prep ' s club presidents and leaders: Keeps young boys who think they have vocations in touch with other boys with similar ideals . . . gives the boys a better understanding of their ideal. — Kevin Nordberg, St. John ' s Guild Learn to weigh both sides of a story . . . learn the value of deadlines . . . learn not to take good newspapers and the work behind them for granted . . . learn to be more intelligently critical of other publications. — John Paulhus, Heritage This year’s debate topic made members more aware of humanity ' s problems; of global strife and tyranny, and the need for an organized, unified, peaceful human race. — Leon Frigon, The Learned Blacksmiths Consacre a I ' etude de la langue parlee . . . I ' occasion de pratiquer et de manifester leurs talents sur les planches en meme temps que s ' exprimant dans le francais magnifique des geants du theatre: Moliere, Racine et autres. — Gregory Chabot, Paris par ici Energy? See the pages that follow. Purpose? These words show purpose well-understood, energy well directed. If youth be a defect, it is one we outgrow only too soon.

RESOLVED THAT THE UNITED NATIONS SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENED Noel J. Collette, A.A., capable and personable director of the group The combined Assumption Prep and Notre Dame Academy Glee Clubs at their annual Parents ' Day Concert at the Prep. President Kennedy says, The television set, the movies, and the myriad conveniences and distractions of modern life all lure our young people away from the strenuous physical activity that is the basis of fitness in youth and in later life.” We cannot deny his remarks entirely. But we do offer the members of our own class who are active, who have not gone soft. These are our varsity men. Our biographies also show that many of our class were active in intramurals as well. Youth is not a time of life, said General MacArthur, It is a state of mind. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. General, we agree — to a point! On these pages are proof that all of us have not gone soft physically but proof too, that fifty is not the magic age — nor twenty, either. Perhaps the magic age is more like the average age of the Class of ' 61, or any other class with some of that desire for physical activity that all youth is supposed to be losing.

But, to show that we do not learn from our elders, we close with these pictorial memories called All Sorts. A bit of humor may lighten the load, ease the pain that an American writer, John Burroughs, summed up this way: In sorrow he learned this truth — One may return to the place of his birth, He cannot got back to his youth.” m Sorts my doughnuts Sister.
