ASSUMPTION PREPARATORY SCHOOL Worcester, Massachusetts N ■ To other classes before us he was but a coach, but we knew him from the start as both coach and teacher. His¬ tory is his field, and baseball his sport. To each he has brought during these four years, his dedication to the molding of young men’s minds and characters and a spe¬ cial spirit all his own. It will be a long time before we for¬ get “G.W.” or “the torch of truth,” and it will be a long time before we forget him. And so it is that we, the class of 1966, dedicate our yearbook to a man we all respect: Mr. Robert F. Flagg. IBebication 4 to our spiritual Htfe To the class of 1966: A key is by its very nature and purpose an instru¬ ment for opening up and permitting us to enter through a door or gate. Most often and in the literal sense, it permits us simply to enter a building, a room or some kind of enclosure. When we speak of spiritual keys, however, we immediately think in much broader terms — of keys which not only open the way into a previously locked area, but usher us into a completely new way of life. We think of keys which are not mere¬ ly instruments to be used once or even only occasion¬ ally, but constantly. Actually, you have known and used these “keys” since childhood. You have perhaps learned to call them by other terms, such as means of grace. They are the Sacraments, the liturgical worship of the Church, especially the Mass, prayer and works of penance. Through the first of them, Baptism, you were ushered into a way of fife which is a sharing in God’s own life, a vital, intimate and mysterious, though very real, un¬ ion with Christ. In the intervening years, your continu¬ ing use of the other “keys” has nourished, fostered and, if it were lost, restored this precious life. As you now prepare to enter the years of young adulthood, it seems important to emphasize that this fife as well as the “keys” which usher us into it are not intended for our selfish or even our exclusive use. Our Christian vocation is by its very nature a vocation to the apostolate — to be witness to Christ, to the way of life which He taught and lived, and to which He has called us, in such manner as to make its truth, good¬ ness and beauty manifest to those around us. Constant and continuing union with Christ is necessary in order to fulfill this demand of our vocation, for as Christ Himself has told us: “Without me, you can do nothing.” In like manner, equally constant and fervent use of the “keys” which nourish and sustain that un¬ ion, especially the Eucharist, is essential to a fruitful apostolate. In recent months, the decrees of the Second Vatican Council have given us a new perspective of the scope, meaning and dignity of our Christian vocation. The docu¬ ments on The Church, the Sacred Liturgy, Ecumen¬ ism and the Apostolate of the Laity are especially per¬ tinent to the needs and demands of our times. They, too, may be regarded as “keys,” instruments for open¬ ing up a new era of Christian witness and Christian engagement in the mission of the Church to men. They deserve careful study and serious attention by all our people, but especially by those, who like you, have the advantage of a Catholic education. The Council’s aim of Christian renewal in the world of our day will depend in great measure on how well the people of God understand and make use of the “keys” or di¬ rectives which it has set forth for the more effective en¬ gagement of all of us in the work of witnessing Christ to the world. Sincerely yours, Bishop of Worcester 6 “Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: ‘Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy ... You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” “You, however, are a chosen race, a royal priest¬ hood, a holy nation, a purchased people, ... a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices accepta¬ ble to God through Christ.” “We, your ministers, as also your holy people, offer to your supreme Majesty . . .” “Because the bread is one, we though many, are one body, all of us who partake of the one bread.” 7 to education The Graduates of 1966 have chosen a timely theme for their Yearbook: the Key. The world has been offered a new key at the end of Vatican II. It is made up of the different Constitutions issued by the Council Fathers. They are meant to open the door to a full life in the modern world. The Christian has a vocation. He has been called to Christ who incorporates him into the People of God. He is our God and we are His People. We live from His life and we share His mission of bringing peace and unity to the world. This has been true since the first Coming of Christ. However, Christianity is vital and even in the process of development and clarification. In our day, good Pope John called this “Aggiornamento.” Vatican II was to prepare the way for the fulfillment of the Church’s mission in the modern world. In our day, it would be the Key to true peace and unity in Christ. The Graduates of 1966 hold this Key in hand. mvvwt umv ' i iwpiMBW m MATH FRENCH Jfatultp stommistration EDGAR A.

With the new representation system, the members worked throughout the year painstakingly, analysing the Council’s role in the school in an effort to improve that role itself. Meetings were held with both the admin¬ istration and the faculty, and an opinion poll was taken of the student body. After evaluat¬ ing its findings, the Council rewrote its con¬ stitution, setting a precedent for active and meaningful Councils in the future. The eigh¬ teen elected members plan the traditional APS activities, such as the Fall and May dances. The Council is also the “voice” for student’s petitions and suggestions. The main problem faced by the Council was proving it¬ self to the school. After nine months of working together, the representatives came to know each other well and gained valuable leadership experience while serving their school. 73 JUNIORS: SEATED: William Galanes, Robert Longden, Jay Bagdis; STANDING: Thomas Ash, Stephen Gaffney, James Lukin, Stephen Pisinski.

Lastly, a candidate must attain a minimum average of eighty percent. The obligation of the NHS’s members is to maintain their record of achievements in the four designated areas. Through a continued and individual search for truth in schol¬ arship, (the use of the power of the person¬ ality toward progress); in leadership, (a tool by which to be effective); in character, (a be¬ ginning and end to education) and in service, Ta practical means of applying talents), a member of the NHS becomes a more meaningful citizen.

The Learned Blacksmiths participate on three levels of debate with a varsity team composed of seniors, an inter¬ mediate team of juniors, and a novice team of freshmen. The active debating season begins in January and con¬ tinues throughout the second semester when high school debaters throughout the country will be skillfully apply¬ ing the techniques of debating in lively and sometimes heated interscholastic tournaments.

Since 1939, school events have been noted and re¬ ported by the student newspaper, now called the Heri¬ tage. Its staff meets after publication of each issue, pool¬ ing collective talents and information in evaluating the current paper, as well as in planning the next issue. Possi¬ ble articles concerning current school events are dis¬ cussed, evaluated, and finally accepted or rejected for the upcoming publication. Topics for editorials dealing with school problems or current events demand more thought than those of other articles, for it involves passing judgment on issues instead of people. The Heritage attempts this feat six times each year, and tries to think in terms of solutions rather than diatribes. Objective presentation, as opposed to insipid placation, is the much desired goal. Obviously, such a challenge yields its crop of failures as well as successes. Technical snags as well as questions involving content, continually beset the editor-in-chief, who must spend many hours in making the page-plans for any one issue. This chore places demands on his skill in choosing and cropping photographs, checking articles, and measuring galley proofs. Much research by his staff and writers must be done in order to present factual and appealing copy. All of them give many hours of their time to present their readers with the Heritage.

In the informal and relaxed atmosphere of the weekly meetings, club members engage in group singing and in discussions on various topics. Lectures are also giv¬ en by the moderator or guest lecturers. The students be¬ come acquainted with France, her people, customs, cul¬ ture, civilization, and language.

To fill the t ap between freshman and junior years, Mr. Dubuque as initiated and monitored the Sophomore History Sem¬ inar. The goal of the club is primarily to instill an inter¬ est and an understanding of history and its personalities and events into the members. This goal is accomplished through weekly meetings and a program of guest speak¬ ers. All in all, the History Club serves to strengthen the history curriculum here at the Prep, and it enables the student with a particular interest in history to further enrich himself. 01 To allow the student who is not necessarily athletically inclined to participate is the goal of the intramural program at the Prep. This year’s program began with “flag-football” and a tennis tournament. For the winter, the pro¬ gram was forced to move indoors, into the limited confines of the gym. Regardless of this handicap and the obvious shortage of time for the program, four tournaments were successfully completed: the “two-gun” basketball, the five-on-five basket¬ ball the inter-class ping-pong, and the volleyball. The volleyball tournament was climaxed by a student-faculty game. In the spring the round- robin volleyball tournament was held. Each tourney ended with the presentation of trophies to the winners in the dining hall. LITURGICAL CHOIR Music is an essential element of the liturgy. Since the school’s founding the Liturgical Choir has served as the nucleus of singing at the Community Mass. The current spirit of renewal and ecumenism demands more than the traditional chant accompa¬ niment. Therefore, the choir, under the direction of Rev. Gilbert Chabot, A.A., meets weekly to pre¬ pare a program of music that complements the liturgy. jgmm gjww W v,. 1 IpP ! is ( : J |r ; 7 jjppEil B|| J l . , r. JM ; r £ 4 FRONT ROW: P. Savoie, R.

With other area schools who are members of this league, the club particip ates in four annual meets. Under the guidance of the Mathematics Department, its mem¬ bers hold meetings every Saturday to prepare for upcoming meets and to determine which members will participate in them. The club gives the school’s mathematically inclined students the chance to further themselves in their particular field of interest.

Every year the senior class is faced with the task of putting out a yearbook within a period of less than nine months. This job is the work of the Memini, which consists of two editors elected by their classmates and of their staff, of which any senior can be a member. Work begins in earnest in early October with the compiling of pictures, the com¬ posing of write-ups, and the arranging of layouts. This activity requires daily work on the part of its staff, from October to June, with the brunt of the work falling on the shoulders of its editors. Hopefully the result is a book rich in memories for its readers. Layout editor, Joseph T. Ash • M M | Activities editor, Terrence W. Macy Sports editor, John J. Manning m AMATEUR RADIO CLUB The Assumption Amateur Radio Club (APARC) was officially chartered in 1961 by a group of students inter¬ ested in Amateur Radio. Two veteran “hams”, Richard Formato ’64 and Paul Clement ’64 instructed several stu¬ dents in the technique of radio communications as well as in the basic elements of radio. Since then, the club has flourished to the point where it now includes a workshop laboratory conducted in the Prep’s Physics laboratory. The present Amateur Radio Club aims to provide a background for students who will possibly pursue a technical career or who are merely interested in Amateur Radio as a hobby.

SER VICE t e - r The Service Corps is organized for the purpose of helping peo¬ ple in Worcester and surrounding areas who “ain’t got it so good.” In the spirit of the late Doctor Tom Dooley, the first teams entered active service in March, 1961 at Nazareth Home, Leicester. These teams visit the Home on Wednesday afternoon for one hour, and provide companionship and recreation for some twenty emotionally disturbed youngsters. Another team has been formed on the same principles to work at John Augustus Hall, West Boylston. The volunteer can help others to better themselves or develop a happy outlook on life. His work, however, will be limited and of¬ ten he will be dealing with intangibles that show no immediate results. He will find other rewards in his work, of the type men¬ tioned by Dr. Dooley in a letter to a friend: “Dedicate some of your life to others ... It will be an exhilirating experience be¬ cause it is an intense effort.” UPPERCLASSMEN: SITTING: J. Joyce, R. Elliot, P. Marsch, J. Thompson, G. Reills, R. Desmarais, V. Farese: STANDING: P.

David, the purpose of YCS has been directed, through personal development, toward building Chris¬ tian men to meet modern challenges. The challenge of Vatican II, has been and will remain, the greatest source of development for YCS throughout the coun¬ try; and particularly here at Assumption where educa¬ tion becomes the process of Christian thinking. The Young Christian Students, or YCS as it is com¬ monly known, is a student activity designed to pro¬ mote ' and develop the lay apostolate. YCS bases itself on the role of the layman in the Church. The chal¬ lenges of this role are reflected in the organizations commitment to form lay apostolates for a lifetime and in so doing to more realistically bring Christ into the world. Since 1945, YCS, here at the Prep, has provided both guidance and faith necessary to meeting these challenges.

In a fan¬ tastic scoring duel, the Monks lost a 20-0 lead, but staged a brilliant comeback, scoring 16 points in the final four minutes. In the last game of the season the Monks nearly came up with a repeat performance against a potent Marianapolis team. Their late rally failed, however, and the Prep finally succumbed, 8-12. At the end of the season, captain and star defensive end, Dick Lane, and hard-running Dick Boucher were given honorable mention on the All-New England Prep School Team. Awards given by the school went to: Dick Lane, Most Valuable Player; Dick Boucher, Best Senior; Dave Eddy, Coaches Award; Dick Dodge, Best Junior; Steve Sylvestro, Best Sophomore; Charles Gagnon, Best Freshman. Football fortunes at Assumption Prep took an unexpected turn for the better during the 1965 gridiron season. This year’s team started strong and finished strong, compiling a record of 2-2-1. The season could just as well have ended with the Monks sporting a 4-1 record. The losses came at the hands of Thayer Academy, 0-27, and Marianapolis Prep, 8-12. One of the wins was an upset victory over St. Sebastian’s, who the year E revious had clobbered the Monks, 0-19. This year, owever, the Blue and White eleven fought to a 22-16 victory. Instrumental in this prime upset were senior halfback, Dick Boucher, and junior backs, Dave Eddy, Dick Dodge, and Earl Lane. Another win came in a 22- 6 romp over Phillips Andover, with Dick Dodge, Dick Boucher, and John Manning, figuring in the scoring. APS — 0 Thayer Academy — 27 APS — 22 St. Sebastians C.D.

In its seventh year of existence the team earned its first winning season with a record of 5-2. The Prep harriers opened the season with an impressive 17-46 victory over Thayer Academy. They were to go 4-0 against Prep School compe¬ tition, running to easy wins over Lawrence Acade¬ my, Winchendon School, and Marianapolis Prep. At the Marianapolis meet, the Monks took the first five places for a perfect score. In high school competition, the Monks encoun¬ tered their only losses, at the hands of David Prouty and St. John’s. They also came up with a one-sided win over Holy Name. All in all, it was quite a successful year for the Monks and for Coach Robert Cormier, who was in his first year at the helm of the Prep harriers. Records for the school’s 2.4 mile course were set and reset this year. At the end of the season, Pete Walsh, co-captain, held the school record with a time of 13:33. However, two runners from David Prouty High School ran the course in 13:17. Runners honored at the end of the season were Ronald Menard, Most Valuable Player Award, and Jay Bagdis, Coach’s Award.

As the 1965-66 Prep basketball team went into its season, few held an optimistic outlook for their suc¬ cess. With only one returning letterman having consid¬ erable varsity experience in the forecourt, the Monks appeared to be in serious trouble in the height depart¬ ment. However, to the surprise of many, these Prep hoopsters parlayed a combination of blinding speed with scrappy defense into one of the most successful Assumption seasons in years. The Monks gave their first indications of what was to come by ripping off three impressive wins over po¬ tent Milford Academy, New Prep, and Providence Country Day. Solid team efforts were the key in these triumphs. They then headed for the Kingswood Invita¬ tional Tournament in Hartford, in which were entered some of the top Prep Schools on the East Coast. With John Gabriel coming off the bench to contribute 18 points, the Prep rolled past Hopkins Grammar of New Haven. In the semifinals, though, APS ran into a pow¬ erful St. Stephen’s team from Alexandria, Va., and were decisively beaten. The following night, however, the Monks came up with a stunning upset over de¬ fending champion Williston Academy, to return to Worcester with third place. Here, the Prep ran up a winning streak of eight games, all of which were easy victories. Included in their list of victims was Kingswood School, who had won the Kingswood Tourney by beating St. Stephen’s. Instrumental in these victories was a sticky all-court press led by John Bouffard, Tom Grayman, and Mike Laska, which completely demoralized many oppo¬ nents. Equally immense was Pete Cragan who contin¬ ually dominated the boards over bigger and stronger opponents. The Monks then suffered their first two losses against New England teams, at the hands of Cornwall Academy and Huntington School. But these Class A schools had been undefeated against Prep schools. In the Cornwall game, the Cavaliers simply had too much for the Monks to contain. They ran up a big lead then held off a determined Assumption rally to win. The Prep came up with one of its finest efforts in the heart-breaking two-point loss to Huntington. The Monks came back strong several times, but couldn’t quite go all the way for the win. During this period, the Prep added three wins over Moses Brown, Thayer, and St. Andrew’s, to run their record to 15-3. As the Monks closed their season against Chesire Academy, they had been assured of a berth in the New England Prep School Tournament.

Publishing a YEARBOOK Don Lendry Publisher’s Representative American Yearbook Company Cambridge, Md. Hannibal, Mo. Topeka, Kan. Vasalia, Calif. 108 Manchester Terrace Is As Simple As To the casual reader a yearbook is often simply an “album” of pictures with written text. Merely ink on paper . . . though nice to own and enjoy. But to the staff and adviser the yearbook means much more. For yearbook work comprises a multi¬ tude of details: Layout, Art, Photography, Copy, Typography, Covers and Binding, (not to mention the small detail of money-raising). Highly techni¬ cal and often time-consuming and a source of anx¬ iety to a staff unless the publisher’s representative is trained to give needed help and suggestions. At American your publisher’s representative is a member of the school’s yearbook team. He is skilled in the many facets of yearbook work, hav¬ ing at his fingertips the answers to yearbook prob¬ lems as well as a multitude of ideas. He is always there when you need him. This is why we say “Publishing a Yearbook is as simple as AYC.” Al c Y Western Massachusetts Office: Box 209 Forest Park Station Springfield, Massachusetts Area Code 413 732-7692.
