1963 W ASSUMPTION COLLEGE WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS HIS EXCELLENCY BERNARD J. FLANAGAN BISHOP OF WORCESTER 1 “Christ is the great central fact in the world’s history; to him everything looks forward or back¬ ward. All the lines of history converge upon him. All the march of providence is guided by him. All the great purposes of God culminate in him.” —Spurgeon 5 DEDICA TION Holiness and learning are characteristics difficult to find today, even separately. When both these qualities, then, come together in one individual, the result is a truly outstanding person. Father Polyeucte is such a man. Father has led a life of quiet devotion to study (a devotion which is even more absolute than his attachment to good cigars). Many institutions in many countries have had the benefit of his great learning. Father Polyeucte is primarily a philoso¬ pher — this was his first love. His excellence in the field can be judged by the singular fact that just two months after completing his course of study at Louvain, he was named professor and began his teaching career with his former classmates as pupils. Father is also an expert in French literature, as those who have studied under him will readily agree. During the years 1946-50, he edited the literary criti¬ cism published in La Croix, the influential Assumptionist newspaper in Paris. Finally, Father is an historian; his published works (Portraits Assomptionistes, Vie du Pere d’Alzon, Histoire des Alumnats, etc.) reveal him both as a competent scholar and as a religious dedicated to the Assumptionist order. Indeed, Fr. Polyeucte can never really be considered apart from his dedication to God and to the Church, for this spiritual orientation is at the basis of his character and underlies all his actions. E (en ince his ordination to the priesthood on August 7, 1921, Father has been untiring in the execution of his religious duties. In his sermons and in his daily life, in the many important posts which he has filled in the order’s hierarchy, Father’s piety and ability are clearly demonstrated. He served in parishes on weekends, in addition to his other duties until 1956, when for reasons of health the 66-year-old priest was forced to become less active. Father’s life, cer¬ tainly, has been one of devotion, of prayer, and of zeal for souls; his history a model of Catholic virtue and action. We at Assumption College have had the advantage of his teaching and his example for many years, and it is with the deepest gratitude and respect that we dedicate the 1963 Heights to the Reverend Polyeucte Guissard, A.A. 7 as $ -.4 a ' A • t L UNION JAMrJEAN ' BAPTISTE v Samerique .

The diploma and degree we receive symbolize an accomplishment, and one that is wider han a simple abstract com¬ petence in the liberal arts. Certainly, as we leave Assumption, we are carrying away more than a good education. It is not only learning that separates us from Septem¬ ber, 1959, when, unsure of ourselves and our position, we first came to the campus. The second dormitory was still a foundation then, and we were still children. We have grown with the college. Assumption has been the center of our lives these past four years; it has formed us, and this comprehensive influence is irrevocable. We carry away our maturity, our philosophy, our ethical principles, and our abilities. We finish the dependent part of our lives, and we go to the world of responsibility as products of Assumption. 30 DONALD T.

Naive freshmen of three years ago, the class of ’64 has passed through the cockiness of the sophomore year and run the gauntlet of Junior independent study. From its first days on campus the junior class has shown an amazing capacity for work, coupled with an even greater aptitude for play. Its ranks have supplied the undergraduate culture with athletes, journalists, politicians, and thespians. The juniors have found their years at Assumption rewarding. Memories which the years will mellow to a richness possessed by few others have been acquired. Some of these reminiscences will be personal and individual; however, tucked in the corner of every mind will be the Spring Weekends, the all-night cram¬ ming sessions during exam weeks, parties in Boston, the “B”, the “T.G.”, and the basketball seasons. The class of ’64 has yet another year to gather memories. The senior year, replete with “bac,” thesis, and A.B., lies ahead. The best is yet to come.

To a freshman, it may suggest somebody who was consistently sadistic during initiation. To the juniors and seniors the sophomore is someone who has survived the freshman year, and with some luck and hard work, will follow in the footsteps of the graduates. To the world at large, the sophomore represents the more raucous and rowdy elements of the college crowd. In the eyes of the faculty and the ad¬ ministration, the sophomore may be associated with the ancient Greek meaning of the word. In these respects, Assumption’s class of ’65 is like every other sophomore class across the country. However, Assumption’s sophomores do stand out from the other classes according to their varied accomplishments. These accomplishments vary from the complete revitalization of the cheerleading squad to the compres¬ sion into three days of the most savage freshman initiation in the school’s history. To say that the class of ’65 has made its presence felt at Assumption is indeed an understatement. The sophomore class is constantly being pruned and refined, and promises to produce more than its share of high-quality scholars. Athletic¬ ally, socially, and culturally, the class is equally distinguished. The members of the sophomore class have travelled far since they first came to Assumption. Their journey is half finished, and they continue to travel towards their goal. 57 From left, SEATED: Frank Cottrell, Peter Ut singer: STANDING: Thomas Reyes, Ronald Do lan, Robert DeMott, From left, SEATED: Andre Norma nd, Dennis Berard; STANDING: Brian O ' Brien, John Finn, Raymond Ferland.

Class September 12, 1962 was the beginning of a lengthy, but fruitful “apprentice¬ ship” for 126 students from numerous localities on four continents. Most were strangers when they arrived at Assumption’s breezewa y; apprehensive, nervous, and a little shy, they displayed feelings which today seem ridiculous to the stu¬ dents as they pass in the corridors shouting familiar greetings or working ener¬ getically in many activities. Apprehensions have materialized, nervousness still exists, but only before exams, and shyness is out of the question. These first hectic days were exhilarating to everyone from the first introduction and placement test to the final Freshman Dance and all-day picnic. Everyone is sure to remember these first impressions of college life long after he crosses the tassel on his graduation cap. Soon upperclassmen appeared on the campus, and the dreaded ordeal of initia¬ tion dominated every freshman’s mind. Somehow they managed to survive the degradations of shaving cream, water, and embarrassing speeches, to admit in the end that it was really great fun. The traditional rope-pull between upperclass¬ men and freshmen resulted in an un-traditional victory for the latter and be¬ came a prophetic sign of the Class of ’66’s quest for status at Assumption. When the freshmen of ’62 complete their “apprenticeship” in 1966, it will no doubt be with the same enthusiastic incentive plus acquired wisdom that will make Assumption confident of ' 66’s place in society. 62 From left, SEATED: Joseph Lee, Wayne Thomas, Steven Dupuis; STANDING: Richard Blouin, Paul Mahon, Alfred DeVito.

He is the coach of the Assumption soccer team. To him falls the task of creating, from basketball and baseball players, a soccer team which will compete against young men who have had up to eight years experience in the sport. And yet, each year for the last three years, he has developed a team. These inexperienced squads, if not brilliant, do command the respect of their opponents. The games are usually close, and on several occasions in the team’s short history favored enemies have found themselves on the short end of a final score. And the credit for any prestige the team has gained is due (and this is sort of a tradition at Assumption) not to the talents of any individual player, but to the sweat and determination of the whole squad. After dropping the first two games of the season, Assumption defeated Babson Institute 3-1, thanks to the goal making of Cap¬ tain Libby Gennetti and Jose .Aguirre. This was the first game for Aguirre, a freshman, who scored twice within eight minutes. The only other win of the season was against Nasson College. After a blank first half, two goals apiece by George Schneiderbeck and Libby Ginnetti paved the way to victory. The final score was Assumption 5, Nasson 2. There will be five seniors leaving this year: Captain Libby Ginnetti, Mike Haran, Jim Prevet, Terry Lapierre, and Dick Gembecki. However, Coaches Lundquist and Ferrie are confident. They see a much improved goalie in the person of Tim “Rufus” Reardon. They also feel that the large number of returning underclassmen who now know the rudiments of the game will enable the pre¬ season practices next year to be devoted to some of the finer points of the game. 1 } I r ' i W gpr 3 Itf Assumption 0 Clark 4 Assumption 3 New Haven 7 Assumption 3 Babson Ins. 1 Assumption 2 A.I.C. 5 Assumption 1 New Bedford 7 Assumption 5 Nasson 2 Assumption 0 Nichols 3 Assumption 0 Wore.

With the unexpected cancellation of the Holy Gross meet, the 1962 Assumption College Cross Country season came to a close. The Harriers, coached by Rev. Roland Guilmain, ended the season with a record of three wins, three losses, and one tie. Much of the credit for any success the team had must be given to Bill Langen. Bill, team captain, was Mr. First in the Cross Country picture this year. Bill showed his heels to the field in four of the seven hill and dale events which comprised this year’s slate. Langen also set two records, one at Worcester State, the other at Nichols College. By his encouragement and example, the captain provided leadership for his teammates. Other outstanding performances were turned in by Ed Johnson and Stan Stadnicki. These veterans could usually be counted on to tape a second or third place. Freshman Joe Krajewski showed great promise. With a season of experience under his belt (o r rather in his spikes), Joe should be a valuable asset to next year’s team. Indeed, their youth is the Harrier’s main cause for optimism. The entire ’62 squad was comprised of freshmen and sophomores, the trackmen feel sure that with experience will come success.

Last year a small group of students, failing to obtain official per¬ mission to form a varsity hockey team, initiated by their own efforts the Assumption College Ice Hockey Club. Bob DeMott, who played an important part in the organization’s formation, supervises (with the able assistance of Brian Murphy and Frank Cottrell) the 1963 squad. The young team, after completing a concentrated training schedule at the Worchester Arena, will embark upon its second season of competition. The roster has been improved by the addition of several new members, and DeMott feels confident that the club’s 1963 record will better last year’s somewhat disappointing one. The acquistion in particular of transfer student Norm Godin, an experienced goalie from Canada, should increase the team’s effi¬ ciency. The highlight of the Hockey Club’s rugged season is its participa¬ tion in the Open Senior Spring Hockey League. Competition here is probably as rough as any to be found in an intercollegiate circuit, and the team’s collective ambition is to become respected member of the league. wpr . suHPr ,; . s jHPr AWPr f m Wf� r ( mwprjfi yHpM It looks as if Andy Laska has done it again. The Assumption College basketball team is well on its way to another winning season, so well on its way that many are thinking of a berth in the post-sea¬ son N.C.A.A. tournament. They don’t talk loudly about it though, as many a Greyhound team has been disappointed in this expecta¬ tion, despite winning seasons. From what has transpired to date, the Greyhounds have every right to be optimistic. They have height in veterans Steve Warner and John Jenkins, and a pair of sharp¬ shooters in the persons of Chris Kiernan and Bill Norkaitis. These four, along with the steady board work and sharp eye of Captain Ed Ballo, make the team a very well balanced one. The season’s opener was against Worchester State. Coach Laska granted the starting backcourt slots to Chris Kiernan and Bill Norkaitis, and so far each has fitted nicely into the coach’s system of play. The system is traditionally a strong defense. Last year the team ranked a laudable second in the national small college defen¬ sive statistics, holding their opponents to an average score of just 51 points. In the State game, the Kiernan-Norkaitis alliance colla¬ borated to hold Steve Kokernak, the foe’s big gun, scoreless from the floor. In addition, Juniors John Jenkins and Steve Warner came through with big offensive efforts to lead the Hounds to an easy victory. The story was much the same against Clark, this time the superb rebounding of Ed Ballo playing a major role in the win. From left, KNEELING: R. Joanis, Manager; J. Monahan, W. Norkaitis, J.

Laska, Coach. plSSSiffiSl -t 1 asms TgF H j g: The team then travelled to Springfield to defend their title against A.I.C. In the opening game, Steve Warner played one of the best of his Assumption ca¬ reer. He posted 19 points, five in the overtime ses¬ sion, to gain the victory. In the second game, the Hounds came up with what has been termed their finest ten minutes of basketball. Trailing 19-11. Coach Laska, pooling together all his offensive and defensive know how, rallied the team to catch the Maroons and ultimately take the half-time edge. In that ten minutes, the Greyhounds functioned per¬ fectly, limiting the Springfield team to one floor goal while stepping up their own offense for a 21 point blitz. Springfield won it though, breaking away from a 56-all deadlock with thre ' e minutes remaining and going on to win by seven points. In our next tilt, a Frank Merriwell shot sunk by Bill Norkaitis with three seconds to go, gave the Grey¬ hounds a one point victory over Stonehill College. Then, the Holy Cross game, always the high point of the season. This was a defensive spectacular, Holy Cross in its customary plaster-tight man to man and Assumption applying a series of switching defenses, each brilliantly conceived and executed. Midway through the last half, the Greyhounds led 39-34, but a dry scoring spell and the untimely exit of Steve Warner on fouls proved to be their undoing. The final score was 50-46 with the Crusaders on top . . . another heartbreaker for the Laskamen. The Cross game was followed by more bad news: the loss of Captain Ed Ballo to mononucleosis. Coach Laska feels, however, that such depth as Jim Monahan, Fred Murphy and Charlie Aleksiewicz will fill the gap and maintain N.C.A.A. berth hopes. Assumption 60 Wore.

And (unless the Assumption 73 Clark opposition has suddenly grown weaker) this lack of Assumption 68 Stonehill upperclassmen might well be counted an improve¬ Assumption 53 Holy Cross ment, since at this writing the junior club enjoys a Assumption 44 Holy Cross 5-3 record. Two of these losses, moreover, were to a Assumption 70 Becker vastly superior Holy Cross squad; with these most Assumption 65 A.I.C. formidable foes safely in the past, it seems more than Assumption 64 Dean Jr. likely that the J.V. will finish comfortably ahead of Assumption 61 Wore.

It has become traditional in writing about Assumption’s lesser sports to term a season “a vehicle of valuable experience,” to mention the boundless spirit of the small team, and to close with a smile and words of hope for the future. In the past five years, the Greyhound swimming team has been no stranger to these cliches. But now it is 1963, and Alike Haran’s tank¬ men have called upon the sportswriters to put away their songs of spirit and hope. Not that the spirit is lacking; it’s as strong as ever, and hopes loom large for this year. This season it’s varsity talent that churns the lanes at the Worcester Boys’ Club. Captain Mike has forsaken the individual medley this year in favor of the 100 yard butterfly event. Just before the season’s opener against Babson Institute, Alike turned in impressive times, including a 30 second 50 yards. Junior Pat Powers paced the 200 yd. free-style grind, followed closely by Gene Columbo. Finishing times in the trials were 2:30 and 2:35. Returning sophomore Tom Heyes improved tremendously during early season training. Just before the first meet he was in shape to edge Chicago bred Bob Besse with a 27 second 50 yd. freestyle. Coach Richard LeHair was pleased this year with his squad’s new-found depth. Mermen numbered fourteen and were able to enter two divers and two relay teams in each of the four meets. Members of the growing swim-fan clan, hearken to the call of the new swimming squad, pocket those shy “good loser grins,” and unwrap your victory smiles. A new wave of talent has washed Assumption’s shores. | • ™ Jr 7 IIPP J§|i r ,7 After the running start standing finish Left: The first sweeping backstroke. From left: N. Trembley, S. Warner, L.

With the return of Father Ernest Fortin as coach, the Assumption tennis team is looking forward to one of its best seasons to date. Fr. Ernest, as you probably recall, spent the last semester in Chicago studying Aristotelian principals of clay court racquetry. This year, however, the Assumption netmen will reap the benefits of his coach¬ ing ability for the full season. Last year, a surprise 5-4 victory over St. Anselm’s college gave the Greyhound courtmen the first winning season in the team’s history. Hopes are naturally high to make this record a tradition rather than a novelty. The squad will be led by senior captains Jim Benestad and Ron Brousseau. Once again Steve Warner is expected to be the big man foi the blue and white, both in singles and in doubles. Last season, tla Warner-Scorza alliance finished with an impressive 6-0 record in the doubles. Other returning lettermen include Rene Bonneau, Tom Heyes and Pete Belhumeur. The experience of these vetrans, coupled with the talent in the freshman year, should produce a team of con¬ siderable depth, and one which will give another Assumption sport a winning record. BASEBALL From left: J. Mrzyglod, D. Lavin, J. Monahan, C. Aleksiewicz, J. Massaro, Co-captain, W. Norkaitis, W. White, P. Youd, D. Scavone. Not pictured: E. Ballo, Co-captain. The 1962 Assumption College baseball team finished the season with a mediocre record of two wins and five losses. Coach O’Brien sincerely hopes that this year’s squad will better that mark. The Greyhounds’ record certainly was not an indication of the work that the team put into preparing for the season. However, a lack of numbers and especially the absence of any experienced pitching staff greatly hindered the squad’s effort. But now, a year later, Co¬ captains John Massaro and Ed Ballo feel that the team is more mature; they eye not only a winning season but also the coveted city title. Again, the byword will be defense. Coach O’Brien’s philosophy broadly proclaims that the way to win a ball game is to keep the other team from scoring. In view of this, John Massaro, Bill Nor¬ kaitis and Jim Monahan will probably man the infield. All are ex¬ cellent glovemen. Junior Dennis Scavone is the undisputed center fielder, and will probably be joined in his fly-shagging duties by Paul Youd and Dave Lavin. The Greyhound hurling chores will fall mainly to Charlie Aleksiewicz and Jiggs Mrzyglod. Co-captain Ed Ballo will reassume his capacity as slugger, first-baseman, and official heckler for the club. If Coach O’Brien can instill in the players the spirit of unity and self-sacrifice that was characteristic of his record breaking team of two years ago, then it is quite possible that Massaro and Ballo’s prediction of a fine season will be realized. After drifting through the first hundred pages of our book, the reader may wonder at our having the Gaul to begin an informal section. But Gaul we have (albeit in an unfortunate state of health), and a glaring need besides. Thus far The Heights has concentrated on the public, posed aspect of the college; even play has been formalized in the Sports section. But the doings of a community of three hundred-odd (or three .hundred odd) people cannot be adequately posed; a candid camera view of Assumption life and leisure is needed to complete the picture. Many things have happened too quietly or too late to be included in The Heights’ earlier sections. First in impor¬ tance was the opening of the new gymnasium-auditorium in February; the rest descend by grades to the out-and-out barbarism of Initiation. We mean the following as a wrap- up; whatever hasn’t happened already in the ’63 Heights is likely to appear, welcome or no, in the next fourteen pages. But keep a stiff upper lip; our gall is dying fast. After finishing this informal section you will have only the ads to peruse. Initiation — Sept. ’62 Senior Skit — Sept. ’62 Christmas Party Dec.
