The leading nations of the world, having brought to a successful conclusion the greatest of all military conflicts, now turn to an even more difficult problem— that of establishing a just and lasting peace. Should they fail in this endeavor, the enormous sacrifices of the past few r years will have been in vain. Therefore, as the United Nations sit around the conference table mapping these plans for the future we, the class of 1947, do humbly dedicate this yearbook to those factors which are striving toward the elimi¬ nation of fear, suspicion, and intolerance so that a last¬ ing peace may prevail. Ob God! No more tby miracle withhold: T o us in tents give palaces of gold. And while tve stumble among things that are Give us the solace of a guiding star!” Bellingham Memorial High School Dbrar Bellinffiatru Massaclm i fc RETROSPECT We entered as meek little Freshmen Prepared to life and learn, And gazed with awe at the Seniors, Who seemed so strict and stern. Next we returned as Sophomores, And felt, oh, very smart, We entered into everything and Gladly did our part. Then we came back as Juniors, Prepared to stand the test, So the year we’d graduate They’d say our class was best. And then when we were Seniors, Days went so swiftly by, It seemed we couldn’t bear to leave The clear-blue Bellingham sky. Four years we’ve wandered happily Through the rooms of all our classes. Each class, each room, grows dearer As the time remaining passes. We face with fear the future When without its sheltering walls, We must meet alone life’s problems, And answer alone life’s calls. FOREWORD We present this Epilogue for what it is, a link in the chain of Epilogues which have told the story of Bellingham High School. In the Epilogue we have tried to incorporate the spirit of Belling¬ ham High School as we have observed it. That it serves its purpose is our sincerest hope.

Class History _Marilyn Cowen_ From pigtails to pompadours and from knee pants to knickers, we stepped hopefully into the corridor of Bellingham High School four years ago. It was a day we will always remember. Many of us never thought our first day could be so complicated. Yes, it really was puzzling— why were so many bells ringing? Why were we getting pushed around by upperclassmen? Why was it such a task to open our lockers? We hated to ask the upperclassmen for assistance, believ¬ ing they would think us stupid. After the first frightening weeks, however, we realized that we were definitely aged and experienced Freshmen and B. H. S. wasn’t so monstrous after all. One of our chief concerns was the election of our capable class officei’s; Dave Tuttle, President; Walter Nadolny, Vice-President; Jeannette Du¬ bois, Secretary; and Donald Thayer, Treasurer. Then came the biggest hit of our Freshman year—the Freshman Acquaintance Party. We were the guests of the Seniors, who certainly did their utmost to give us a splendid time. In February, under the capable management of Miss Rood, we sponsored a Valent ine Dance. This came as a grand finale to a week of exam¬ inations, and provided us with our first oppor¬ tunity to show the upperclassmen what we Freshmen could do. And so our memorable Fi ' eshman year passed on, filled with many war¬ time restrictions and experiences we would al¬ ways remember. September found the doors opening a new world to us; we were Sophomores! We had waited only for the days when we might be up¬ perclassmen. We held our first class meeting for the pur¬ pose of electing class officers. Dave Tuttle, President; Jeannette Dubois, Vice-President; Nancy Cowen, Secretary; and Donald Thayer, Treasurer, were the ultimate victors. Our first social event of the year was the Thanksgiving Dance and a turkey raffle. The dance was a great success, but most everyone had his eyes on the turkey. Much to our regret Mr. Rocha left us in De¬ cember for service in the United States Navy but our grief was soon forgotten when we walked into cur homeroom the following Monday morn¬ ing and found that we were under the guidance of Miss Downey. All received a great shock when we saw a notice on the bulletin board that we were to have mid-year exams. We were so worried we couldn’t sleep nights—can you imagine our not sleeping because of school work? Too bad that exemptions were ruled out for certainly, we would have all been exempted. (A very brilliant class!) It was a great relief when exams were over; now we wouldn’t have a thing to worry about—at least not ‘til finals. In February, we had another great dis¬ appointment, Miss Downey left us, but Mr. Hutchinson was with us as a class advisor until June. What was the matter? As Sophomores we must have been intolerable, driving out so many teachers. It was in our Sophomore year that we ordered our prize packages, our class rings. It was necessary to order them one year early that we might be protected against rising costs and dwindling supplies of metal. The great conflict was now progressing at a maddening pace and we found it difficult to concentrate on our studies. However, the remainder of the year flew by and before we knew it, we were Juniors, the year we had been looking forward to. To our surprise, we started our Junior year under the guidance of Miss Mathieu and when our voting was over, we found that we had elected capable Dave Tuttle, President; Mike Berardi, Vice-President; Jeannette Dubois, Sec¬ retary, and Donald Thayer, Treasurer. It was during the beginning of our Junior year when a great fad took hold of the student body. The girls roamed around with bow ties and the boys rolled up their pant legs to show their classy socks. It really was a comical sight. We were given the name of “Jolly Junioi ' s” and we had to live up to it. With the assistance of Nick, Chuck, and a few others, we did a pretty good job of it. In October we sponsored the Halloween Dance. The hall was decorated with cornstalks and pumpkins, ghosts, and witches, which gave it a real appearance of Halloween. War travel restrictions were now lifted so it was possible once more to use buses for travel to and from school functions. We received our class rings and they are the proud possession of every Junior and the real envy of all the other classes. Bellingham was very active in sports this year with the Junior boys forming the backbone of ■CLASS HISTORY ( Continued ) both the baseball and basketball teams. (Now you know why Bellingham had such a good record.) Of course our Junior year couldn’t go by without a great disappointment—our advisor, Miss Mathieu, left us in February to get mar¬ ried and Mr. Granger was then assigned as class advisor. When April arrived, the event that every Junior longed for was finally ready—the Junior Prom. We spent most of our valuable time— valuable because the days sped by and time was all too short—in decorating for this great occa¬ sion. In the end we received a reward; the Junior Prom was one of the greatest social events that ever took place at B. H. S. After the great event we settled down to work because we realized that final exams were right around the corner and we did want to be Seniors in a few months. After all our worrying, we came through all right. Strangely enough the year was over and a little glad, a little sad, we wend¬ ed our way down the corridor for the last time as Juniors. The next time we walked through the doors of Bellingham High School we would be the Seniors. Many changes occurred during the summer. However, life went on much the same at school. We were pleased to find Mr. Granger was with us as class advisor. Elections came and cam¬ paigning was more heated than ever. The final tally showed Dave Tuttle, President for the fourth year. Dave really did a wonderful job in leading our class throughout our high school course. Claire Foley, Vice-President; Jeannette Dubois, Secretary, and Pauline Rossetti, Treas¬ urer, were our other officers. We opened our social events with the Fresh¬ man Acquaintance Party. The Freshmen faith¬ fully attended this dance and assured us they had a marvelous time. One of our greatest surprises came in Oc¬ tober when the photographer came to tell us we could have our pictures taken and ready for Christmas. We all went big for this idea— Imagine not having to worry about Christmas gifts! As Seniors, we did things we never would dream of doing when we were Freshmen. The underclassmen were surely surprised at us. It was no peculiar sight to see the Senior girls en¬ joying themselves playing jump rope during noon hour or before school. We also took a great liking to lolly-pops and bubble gum. Yes, we were Seniors and not grammar school stu¬ dents. The next great event of the year was the Christmas Ball. It really was a gala affair in spite of the attempts of the weather man to snow us under. Everyone enjoyed the Christ¬ mas atmosphere and the rhythmic music of Cervone’s Orchestra. Of course January couldn’t pass by without the horror of mid-year exams. Having taken them for four years, the suspense didn’t bother us too much. We always hopefully awaited the results and could never quite understand how we could reach an “A” in English and why a “C” in Chemistry was our reward after such diligent study over symbols, reactions, and val¬ ences. Then came the greatest task of our Senior year, the publishing of our year book. Jeannette Dubois was chosen editor-in-chief and was as¬ sisted by the members of her staff. Everyone cooperated to make it one of our greatest accom¬ plishments for it is to be a great and lasting possession of each and everyone of us. The days, weeks, and months seemed to go by so quickly with the same routine—school work, dances, and baseball games. It seemed in no time that June had arrived—Yes, the very June we had been looking forward to all year. How could we concentrate on our studies when Senior week was just ahead? We did manage to weather the storm of final examinations al¬ though our grades showed a marked decline from those received in former years. This did not prevent us from embarking on our final cruise through the most memorable week of our school careers. The first great event of the week was our class outing and we had one solid day of fun. This was followed by our banquet. Here between the steaks, chops, and salads were the songs and laughter of a very happy class. Class Day and Graduation were not so happy, for how could one be anything but sad at the realization that we were swiftly bringing to an end our active association with our Alma Mater. We leave Bellingham High School with re¬ gret and ill-concealed sorrow. We see ahead many years of tentative hardship and labor, but does it daunt us? Oh, no! We feel certain that the training which we have received here, sup¬ plemented by that which we shall l ' eceive in higher institutions of learning or in the business world will help guide us through the many try¬ ing situations which will confront us as we as¬ sume our places in society. Class Prophecy Irene Wilde It was nearing dusk as the train slowly pulled into the station and I caught a glimpse of my old home town. In the gathering darkness I could see that it hadn ' t changed very much. It had grown a little, a few new stores and shops were scattered here and there, but on the whole it was the same town that I had left ten years before when I began my nursing career. I had entered private nursing and, as I had a week before my next case, decided to stop off at Bel¬ lingham. Except for a car with chief of police written on the door, the station was deserted. I saw the chief coming and walked over to ask if he knew where I might stay. Much to my surprise, the chief was none other than Charles Delaney. He told me to hop in and drove me to their one and only hotel on Maple Street. Chuck conveyed the information that Donald Thayer had gone into the farm business with his father and was doing very well. Donald had evaded marriage so far but it was being rumored about, that at long last, a girl had overcome his resistance to marriage, and had persuaded him that two could live as cheaply as one. As we pulled up in front of the hotel, the chief suddenly turned to me and asked if I had heard that Dave Tuttle was running for governor. Charles was getting as many votes for Dave as possible. Thinking over our school days together, I found it wasn’t hard to picture Dave as a politician. He had always been a good talk¬ er and a likeable chap who could put his ideas across to his audience. Leaving Charles, I entered the hotel and went directly to my room; consequently it was not until the following morning that I met the owner of the hotel. Having ordered my break¬ fast, I glanced across the room and saw Sophie Shahtay, the owner of the establishment, coming over to greet me. The going had been rough at first for Sophie, but the hard times were behind her now and it looked like clear sailing ahead. I asked her if she knew what had become of our classmates and she informed me that Therese Drapeau had started a beauty shop of her own and her partner in this venture was June Gas- kill, our petite, dark-haired classmate. Before parting, plans were made to go shopping in the afternoon. Leaving the hotel about 2 o’clock, we went to a small dress shop where one could buy the latest styles. Jeanne Dubois greeted us with, “May I help you, madame?” Jeanne and Eileen Buckley had gone into business together, Eileen, who had a flair for designing, designed all the clothes sold in the shop and Jeanne took care of the business end. After leaving Jeanne we went to a drug store for a soda and there we met Marie Wilson trimly attired in a nurse’s uniform. The three of us talked over old times together. Marie was now a school nurse and liked her job very much, traveling from one school to another to care for the health of the children. Before we left we made plans to go to the Junior Prom which was to be held at the high school the following eve¬ ning. Marie volunteered to contact as many of our classmates as possible to let them know of our plans. When Marie departed we continued our shopping and bought many odds and ends so that by the time we were ready to start back to the hotel we were heavily laden with bundles. There was no alternative but to hail a passing taxi to speed us on our way. I thought the driver looked familiar but did not recognize him until he turned around and asked us where we wanted to go. I then saw that it was Albert Benoit. He proudly showed us a picture of his twin sons who were four years old. He had married an out-of- town girl and had started a taxi business which was a thriving one. Two other taxis besides the one he himself was driving, were also on the road. When we told him about our plans for the Junior Prom he said he would come with his wife if a nursemaid could be procured for the twins. Early the next morning Marie called to tell us she had been able to get in touch with most of the class and all would come. When Sophie, Marie, and I arrived at the High School, we found some of our classmates there before us. Among them were: Walter Nadonly, Pauline Rossetti, Claire Foley, and Nickey Petrosky. Pauline suggested that we all go to her studio sometime within the next week and have group pictures taken. Pauline had gone into the photography business with Claire CLASS PROPHECY ( Continued) Foley, and for the last two years had taken the Seniors’ graduation pictures. Walter was once again wearing the uniform of the United States Marines but this time it was that of a snappy officer. Nickey Petrosky, who had always been in¬ terested in radio, is now an announcer for the radio station, WWON, 1240 on your dial, in Woonsocket. During intermission we went over to talk to the members of the band. There we found three more members of our class, Edward Richards was the accordion player, Lucien LeClaire played the piano and Roland Jodoin played the violin. Together with a few others they had started the band which was fast becoming the favorite of the surrounding towns. Just then Eunice Foley and Tommy Nichol¬ son entered the auditorium. Tommy is a first- class carpenter and Eunice holds a secretarial position in a law office in Woonsocket. Eunice said she had just received a letter from Marilyn Cowen who was in Washington on a government job. Nancy had taken a Civil Service Exam the summer after we graduated and had been in Washington ever since except for short visits home. Tommy told us that Gerard Daigle had found what he terms the “perfect job,” $60 a week for working 30 hours and a month’s vacation with pay. For recreation and pleasure Gerard plays on the Alumni basketball team. Two of our classmates who were missing were Mike Berardi and Richard Genereaux who are both engineers now doing construction work in Panama for the United States Government. They had gone to engineering school together and were still together on their first big assign¬ ment. Jimmy Janiszesk i had gone into the real es¬ tate business. His specialty was buying run¬ down homes, repairing them, and then reselling at a profit. Charles Sanford had taken up flying and now has his own plane with which he gives fly¬ ing instructions. At the time of the reunion, Charlie was away on a business trip so therefore was unable to be present. Frances Kinnear came in about ten-thirty with her husband. She had married a few weeks after graduation. She greeted us joyfully and said she had been worried about making it as at the last minute the girl they had engaged to care for their children, a boy and a girl, had called to say she couldn’t make it. They had been lucky enough, however, to find another girl to take her place. Wednesday afternoon all of us went to Paul¬ ine’s studio for our group pictures after which all went to the station to see me off. The train started, and as it gradually gath¬ ered speed, my former classmates slowly faded from sight, leaving many remembrances of those happy hours we spent together. Benr £ n - Wemorfar RfeR ScKmT HBrarv iigfiam, Massachusetts QiOij Class Will We the class of 1947 of Bellingham High School, in the County of Norfolk, in the Com¬ mon v ealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, cognizant of the uncertainties of this life, do make and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills and codicils made by said class. To Mr. Granger, our class advisor, we be¬ queath our sincere thanks for the help and guid¬ ance he has given us through this our most dif¬ ficult year. To our respected principal, Mr. Collins, who has openly professed his interest in masterpieces of art and literature we bequeath the inscrip¬ tions on the desk covers. To Miss Ballou, we leave an English Class that will be more appreciative of the gram¬ matical elements than we were. To Miss Silverson, we bequeath a shorthand class that will see how rapidly it can take dic¬ tation, and not how slowly the period passes. To Miss Kaczor, we leave the bad impression of the Senior Class we gave her in study periods and hope she has forgiven us. As a special gift to Mr. Keough, we leave a pole with a nail on the end to aid him in picking up bits of paper in his clean up campaign. The school is much neater now, ISN’T TIT? To the rest of the faculty we bequeath our gratitude for having tolerated us during our four years of study. To T. J. Bennet, we leave the key to happi¬ ness, although the key to his heart seems to be lost around the corner of North Main and Hart¬ ford Avenue. To Patricia McMahon, we entrust the care of Pauline Rossetti’s book, How to Be a Pracitcal Joker and Still Keep Your Friends. We are cer¬ tain that “Pat” has the ability to carry on after Pauline. To those who wish to know of a delightful shade of red for the toupe of the future, we be¬ queath the memory of those brilliant locks of Red Daigle. To Rose Potter and Joan Vayette, we leave straight jackets so they can control their over abundance of pep when necessary. To Freda Schafer, we bequeath a white line detector used by Eileen Buckley, so she can stay on her own side of the street while driving. To those unfortunates who have formed en¬ tangling alliances, we leave Claire Foley’s fickle¬ ness. To Muriel Perreault, we leave a loud speak¬ er to be used in cheering so she won’t have to exercise her lungs to such an extent. The flash light seen many times in use by “Red” Daigle, we leave to Tracy Garneau, with which we hope Tracy will look on the bright side of things. To Velma Kwiatkowski, we bequeath a switch board; we always heard that Velma was a big time operator. To any vagabond student frequently wan¬ dering from our institution of learning to seek new acquaintances and especially interested in the Uxbridge trend, we bequeath the congenial companionship of David Tuttle, whose traveling instinct turns toward the west. To Lillian Dubois, we leave her sister Jean¬ nette’s lady-like manners and we know that Lil¬ lian will continue to be the perfect lady her sis¬ ter was. To Clifford Stead, we bequeath a movie con¬ tract with M.G.M. to play one of the characters in OUR GANG. To quiet, shy, Bib Tuttle, who never says a word, we leave Charley Delaney’s never ending flow of nonsense with which “Bib” could easily become the most talkative boy in his class. To the boys who ride on the school bus we leave a book of Etiquette, so they can conduct themselves properly. They evidently never heard of “Ladies Before Gentlemen.” To our school we leave the spots of green paint on the floors of rooms 9 and 10, in memory of the Junior Prom we held. - CLASS WILL ( Continued) - In testimony we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three witnesses declare this to be our last will, this nineteenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun- dred and forty-seven.

However, since they do help to in¬ fluence our High School atmosphere we are including their pictures in this year’s publication. m i GRADE VIII Miss Ballou, Advisor GRADE VII Miss Ledoux, Advisor JUNIOR GOSSIP Once the Silly Freshmen, next the Saucy Sophomores, and then we proudly stepped into the corridor of Bellingham High School as Jolly Juniors. Living up to that proud title we began another school year under the capable guidance of Miss Addante whom we have had as class ad¬ visor since we made “ze grande entrance.” Our first act as a class was to elect officers and student council members. After a few days of campaigning the following were elected: Bib Tuttle, President; Lucille Pelland, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Freda Schafer, Secretary; Tracy Garneau, Treasurer; and Shirley Cowen and Victor Forte as student council members. After the excitement of elections we settled down to our daily routine of study and more study—until one day news got around that a package in care of the Junior Class Advisor ar¬ rived in the office. Of course the Juniors got a little inquisitive and began to wonder. Could it be—? Yes, it was! The following day our snappy class rings were ours to wear. That day was a big day for the Juniors. Then our social events of the year took place. First was the Halloween Dance. It proved to be quite successful, but “Natch,” as the Jun¬ iors sponsored it. The auditorium was elab¬ orately decorated in Halloween style and every¬ one had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Cervones Orchestra. Extra-curricular activities also occupied our attention. Interested Juniors participated in all sports. At our first cross-country race, Tracy stole the show by riding across the finish line on a bicycle. He said that he wanted all his en¬ ergy for a later date! Who is she, Trace? Next in line was the selection of the cheer¬ leading and basketball squads. This showed that the Junior class has real pep for many members from the class were chosen to participate in these sports. Lucille Marcet, Shirley Cowen and Rose Potter, with Murielle Perreault as co¬ captain were picked as cheerleaders. Tracy Garneau, Dick Guyette, Bib Tuttle, Carlton Pat¬ rick, Vic Forte, Howard Crooks, Ralph Berardi and Vic Glowka took part in winning our bas¬ ketball games. What! did I hear someone talking? Oh, my aching back! Midyear Exams. Oh, but heck, they were the least of our troubles. Didn’t you know we are the most intelligent class in B. H. S. ???????? Ahem! Then came the time for that ever longed for gala affair—the Junior Prom. The girls with their long pretty dresses and boys with their starched shirts and matching neckties, made this a colorful affair. The Juniors were also kept busy trying to conceal their secrets from the gossip program, “Rumors are Flying.” Along with this program we had a vocational guidance series which help¬ ed us to choose our future careers. As you can see, these programs were not only educational but also recreational, but of course the latter was preferred. Whoops! That aching back is returning again. This is a symptom of final exams. The result shows whether we are worthy of the dig¬ nity and sophistication of a graduating class. And so the Jolly Juniors, who have fulfilled their position as the peppiest class in the school, will take another step forward to stardom as Seniors. But for now we leave grand old Bel¬ lingham High until next September. —Shirley Cowen and Rose Potter SOPHOMORE HISTORY One September morning at an early hour the members of the Sophomore class were slum¬ bering peacefully in their respective homes when their dreams were rudely shattered by maternal voices calling, “It’s time to get up and get ready for school!” This interesting fact had unfortunately slipped our minds, but when we were reminded of it we were rarin’ to go. (Oh, yeah?) Upon arrival at good old Bellingham High we were glad to discover our class advisor would again be Miss Wanagel. This year we would be Sophomores—now we could laugh on Initia¬ tion Day as we remembered last year’s trails and tribulations. A strenuous campaign was soon under way by candidates for the various class officers and, when the ballots were counted, it was found that those candidates surviving the heat of battle were Leo Remillard, Gladys Pichie, Dolores St. Germain, and Lilliane Dubois, in the positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. Representing our class in the student council were Joyce Wilson and Tommy Berardi. This weighty problem being duly solved, we turned our minds to more frivolous matters, i.e., our Thanksgiving Dance. As was inevitable (???) it was an overwhelming success. The musical entertainment furnished by the “Jolly Hoboes” was enoyed by all. Our treasury was also replenished by the proceeds from our most successful Turkey Raffle. Never let it be said that the Sophomores are backward when it comes to sports. We were well represented on the track team by Paul Le¬ vesque, Ernest LeBlanc, and Loren Cook. When the basketball season rolled around, our repre¬ sentatives, Paul Levesque, Thomas Berardi, and Ernest LeBlanc, gave good accounts of them¬ selves. In the background on the cheering squad encouraging them to victory was the co-captain of the cheerleaders, Velma Kwiatkowski. As for baseball, in this field Paul Levesque and Tommy Berardi proved themselves worthy dele¬ gates of our class in this sport also. When it came to radio activities, the Sopho¬ mores really were outstanding, what with using this means as a way of advertising our dance, and being represented in the Radio Club by Joyce Wilson, Jeannie Bouvier, Florence Bouvi- er, Florence Remillard, and Frances Clancy. As for “Rumors are Flying” that gossip column which caused a good many blushes by revealing dark secrets—who could be mistress of cere¬ monies on this program but Velma Kwiatkow¬ ski? No class record would be complete without some mention of those braintwisters, those puz¬ zlers of already overworked brains—you guessed it, examinations. After they’re over, it’s all very well to say they aren’t as bad as they sound, but it’s the sus¬ pense that really flattens us! What with studies, basketball and baseball games, and other activities, the year progressed by leaps and bounds ’til it is now June. Finals and last report cards are behind us, our Sopho¬ more year is ended, and we’re looking forward to September when we will return as Juniors, one more step forward in the high school career of the illustrious Class of ’49. —Frances Clancy FRESHMAN HISTORY Once more it is June and time for school to close. Good old B. H. S. How we hate to leave her even though it will be only for three months. We are saying good-bye to our Fresh¬ man year and now look forward with young dreams and hopes and plans for our Sophomore year. Our Freshman year has been successful with a few minor mishaps which happen to everyone everywhere. The first day was spent getting acquainted with our new teacher, Miss Ledoux, greeting former ones and conversing with our friends. We went to our new home room to make out our schedule cards and pick out our courses. The same month we elected class officers. The following received the highest number of votes: President . ESTELLE PLANTE Vice-President . MERLE PATRICK Secretary . JEANNETTE TROTTIER Treasurer . FRANCES NAMAKA Student Council for Girls . JOYCE MOWRY Student Council for Boys . PAUL GELINAS Class Advisor . MISS SILVERSON The first big event of the freshman year was the Freshman Acquaintance Dance. During the day there was much joking and many tricks played. Each boy wore fingernail polish, carried a doll and a lady’s handbag, and brought an ap¬ ple for the teacher. The girls wore aprons, neck¬ ties, and carried a doll’s toy. Woe unto those who failed to do the Seniors’ bidding! In the evening we feathered out in our best plumage to attend the dance. Later in the year we held a Halloween par¬ ty to which we invited the seventh and eighth grades. There was a door prize and the lucky person received a cake. At the same time we got a slant on a new kind of talent for those present had to make paper hats to compete for prizes. Basketball season rolled around, and a few boys joined from our class. The Camera Club and Radio Club were resumed, and all eager en¬ thusiasts joined them. Came the dark, bleak month of January! How we shuddered and how chills ran up and down our backs as we thought of the dreadful storm of examinations which was reported head¬ ing toward B. H. S. We huddled over books to forestall some of the damage that would follow in its wake. The teachers encouraged us in the face of threatening disaster. Things did look brighter after they came to the rescue. When all was over we breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the damage report. Only a few had gone under. Brightening the horizon was the approach¬ ing Valentine Dance. Our spirits soared high as we pitched in to cut out red hearts and make gay decorations. Everyone forgot the cares of the past and enjoyed an evening never to be forgotten. After the dance and our week’s vacation, we settled down again to serious activities— reading, writing and arithmetic and an air of peace and quiet prevailed throughout the school. And now the day of parting has come so we say goodbye until next September, our tired brains being by then rested and refreshed. —Beverly Reed Jones CAMERA CLUB Miss Ledoux and Miss Wanagel, Advisors STUDENT COUNCIL Gerard Daigle, President Shirley Cowen, Secretary RADIO CLUB Dramatics MlSS SlLVERSON Music Miss Addante Director Mr. Collins Script Miss Ballou Sound Mr. Granger The Radio Club is really a combination of clubs. Students interested in building things are assigned to the sound effects department where they make all of their own sound effects. Those with technical inclinations are signed on as control operators. Students who are inter¬ ested in doing creative writing become part of the script department where they write their own scripts or revise scripts from our library, and those interested in dramatics become mem¬ bers of the club as announcers, actors, and actresses. Like a small radio station all departments are correlated to produce our own shows for the education and entertainment of the stu¬ dent body.

Coach James Keough had just returned from the service so he sent his charges through long hours of practice to get fully ac¬ quainted with their abilities and shortcomings. There was one accident during spring training and one during the regular season. Robert Murphy, leading candidate for the short-stop position, dislocated his shoulder and was lost to the team for the entire season. Tom Berardi, who eventually landed the shortstop position, suffered a painful back injury late in the season and was out of the lineup for two weeks. The team got off to a shaky start as it edged Northbridge in a loosely played game in the season’s opener. The next three games, all league contests, were lost to Medfield, Westwood, and Medway. Thereafter the Toppers settled down to win ten straight games to end the season with a record of eleven wins and three defeats for an average of .786. Tracy Garneau, our leading pitcher, was also the best batsman with an average of .353. Captain Chet Lewinski led the team in home runs and in fielding.

In preparation for the difficult schedule ahead of them, all candidates reported early in October for road work and drill. This constant adherence to fundamentals developed a fine spirit of team play and cooperation among the players with the result that Bellingham emerged victorious in 15 out of 21 games. The handsome trophy donated to the winner of the Bellingham-Blackstone series was this year won by Black- stone. Each team won a game, on its home court, with Bel¬ lingham dropping the third contest on a neutral floor. The prospects for next year’s team appear bright, for although we lose several key players by graduation, the rec¬ ord of the Jayvees” (14 won, 6 lost) assures Bellingham of a fine team in the next campaign. No basketball game is complete without the support of the cheerleaders. They too worked long and diligently to acquire that coordination so much admired by the play¬ ers, pupils, and spectators. ..

It is only fitting that we close our yearbook with Shakespeare’s well-loved sonnet. Our school years,—years of gladness, sorrow, strife—are rapidly coming to an end, and we trust that this book will stand the test of time in recording our activities of the past four years. Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore. So do our minutes hasten to their end: Each changing place ivith that which went before. In sequent toil all forwards do contend. Nativity, once in the main of light, Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crowned, Crooked eclipses ’gainst his glory fight, And Time that gave doth now his gift confound. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth And delves the parallels in beauty’s brow, Feeds on the rarities of nature’s truth, And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow: And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.” —Shakespeare PATRONS Mrs. Josephine Benoit Mr. Mrs. George Ber ardi Mr. Mrs. William H.
