This brings about the pleasure of recording in our Epilogue the history of four of the most enjoyable years of our lives. ' Bright rays of sunshine shone on the doors of Bellingham High that September morning in 1946. We stepped into the cor- ridor with a feeling of loneliness, nervousness, and excite- ment. Wasn't there anyone around whom we knew? where were we to go? Everyone else seemed to know his way around and the corridor was bubbling with laughter. We had just begun to know our way around when we were confronted with the horrors of Freshmen Iniation. Surviving the ordeals of the day, which kept us busy carrying out the demands of the Seniors, we were their guests at an acquaint- ance dance in the evening. As a class group under the guidance of Miss Silverson, our first duty was to elect our class officers which were as follows: President, Shirley Crooksg Vice-President, Merle Patrickg Secretary, Janet-Marie F1tzgeraldgTreasurer, Frances Namaka Q Returning to school after our Christmas vacation, we made plans for a Valentine Dance, our first social function Everyone came and danced in an auditorium attractively dec- orated with ruffled hearts, fat cupids, and red and white streamers. June soon came and we looked forward to summer and a vacation - a vacation which passed all to quickly and we re- turned to school as Sophomores. This time we could watch someone else survive a Freshman Initiation and weave their threads of friendship into our school ways. After we made out our new study routines, we elected our leaders for the year. The results showed Clifford Stead, Presidentg Paul La- taille, Vice-President, Shirley Crooks, Secretary, Lucille Garneau, Treasurer. Miss Silverson had left in June and we were greeted by Miss Ballou as our Class Advisor. In November we held a Thanksgiving Barn Dance and a tur- key raffle. In slacks and dungarees, everyone spent an enjoy- able evening dancing Virginia Reels and Quadrilles. The remainder of the year we were kept busy attending basketball and baseball games' with a good number of our classmates participating. Final exams brought to a close another year. Returning to school, we stood firmly on the third step of the ladder to success. Class elections showed Jack Van Rye, President, Clifford Stead, Vice-President, Shirley Crooks, Secretaryg Lucille Garneau, Treasurer. Miss Ballou was again our advisor One day a small package was received for the Junior class. It d1dn't take us long to find out that it was our class rings. The rest of the day we were kept busy showing them to everyone, and we made sure that everyone saw them. October brought about the preparations for a Halloween Dance. Our last barn dance was such a success we decided to hold another one. This one would be bigger and better than ever. The hit of the year, an 'Atomic Barn Dance.n Up a ladder, down a slide, into a pile of hay, and you were in the auditorium ready to twirl your partner. Immediately after learning our fate in the mid-year exams we made plans for the Junior Prom. It wasn't until May but such a gala affair took a lot of planning. We chose 'Moonlight and Roses' for a theme and set to work making flowers and cutting streamers. The evening finally arrived, and with the music of Gene K1ng's Orchestra drifting among the roses, the evening proved to be an unforgetable one. Again June came, another class graduated and we took an- other step up the ladder, this one the last one we would take at Bellingham. The officers chosen to carry out the duties of our senior year were President, Lee Ambler: Vice-President Paul Latailleg Secretary, Shirley Crooks, Treasurer, Lucille Garneau, and Miss Ballou was our advisor again. We put the Freshmen through the paces of an Iniation and rewarded them with a dance in the evening. Realizing the possibility of a trip to Washington, if we could earn the money, we immediately set to work. A Harvest Bazaar was planned for November and the girls made a quilt which was raffled off the night of the bazaar. Dancing was enjoyed amongst the various booths of grabs, pastries, handi- work, and refreshments. Our next affair was the nHolly Hop', a Christmas formal. Basketball season opened and we found Lee Ambler, Paul Lataille, Merle Patrick, and Jerry Lefebvre on the court. They had turned in many excellent performances during prev- ious years and they continued to do so this year. During the season, we sold candy bars, basketball pins and pencils. Throughout the year we continued to hold raffles, whist part- ies, food sales, and dances. A musical, 'Down Memory Lane', was presented in February under the direction of Miss Wilson, Mrs. Gagne, and Mrs. Arpin. The final event of weeks of fund-raising activities was a play, 'Everybody's Crazy,' presented under the direction or Mr. Collins. The reports of the treasurer showed that we had attained our goal, a trip to Washington. On Monday morning, April 17, at 9:30 we boarded a bus to Providence, then a train to New York. Arriving in New York, we visited Radio City Music Hall in the evening. After the show we took a night train to Maryland where, the next day, we visited Annapolis Naval Academy. From here we traveled by bus to Washington. During our stay here we visited the Capital Building, Smithsonian Institute, the F.B.I., the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Library of Congress, Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memor- ial, Arlington National Cemetary and numerous other places. Returning to New York, on Thursday, we saw Chinatown and the bright lights of Times Square in the evening. Friday morning we went on a boat trip around Manhattan and in the evening we attended the stage play, 'Where's Ghar1ey?' Saturday morning we went shopping and in the afternoon we boarded a train for home and a never-to-be-forgotten week came to a close. Baseball season opened and Lee Ambler, Paul Lataille, Ernie Verhoest, and Al Richard represented the Seniors on the diamond. Next we started work on our year book. Lee Ambler was our capable Editor-in-Chief. The time was spent busily coll- ecting and arranging the material and the final copy was sent to the printers. Graduation week came with a whirl of activities which passed all too quickly. Surely, we shall never forget that week, the excitement of the banquet, the gaiety of the class outing, Claes Night and then'Commencement with the feeling of accomplishment mingled with the sorrow of leaving. The next night wes the Commemcement Ball, when we made merry under a roof that would never again see us students, but as alumni. Typical H.S.

PROPI-IECY Being a chemical engineer had its advantages in 1960. I realized how important my Job was and how much this field had developed in importance. Thinking cf when I decided to enter this field my mind, of course, turned to my high school days and friends. I decided to call up Bellingham High School as I figured that would be the best place to look for news of my classmates. Much to my surprise Shirley Crooks answered the phone and when I inquired why she was there she told me she was one of the faculty members and head of the English Department and doing very well. I invited Shirley to the house where we went over old times such as my spilling punch all over her gown at the Christmas Ball and then we looked at our old yearbook. Shirley told me about a new invention which one of our classmates had perfected. It showed pictures of what people were doing now. All you had to do was think of the persons name and turn the sta- tion to the first letter of the persons last name. Paul Lataille was the genius responsible for this remarkable device. The machine was still in its infancy and yet unnamed. Paul was about to experiment with it and when we told him about our plan of looking at our classmates, ne decided to test it this way. After Paul made a few last minute adjustments we turned it to Channel A and we all sat around thinking of Mary Arsenault. Suddenly a vision appeared on the screen and we saw a huge Jet air liner landing at the Bellingham Airport. When the door opened and the steps went down, we saw Mary Arsenault stepping out and helping each passenger. We noticed the smiles on all their faces and realized Mary must still have her wit with her. Our thoughts turned to Helen Dolan and we saw her suddenly appear with her white uniform. She sat down at the desk and we noticed the sign which read Helen Dolan,Head Nurse. We knew Helen just fit into this type of work for in high school she always was the quiet, neat, and understanding type. . Turning to Channel F we say a vision of Janet Fleuette. She was a private secretary and bookkeeper to the president of a big chain of department stores. We saw Janet getting out of the cab and she was holding quite a conversation with the cab driver. We then noticed Romeo Pelland for the first time and from their conversation we learned that Romeo owned a lerge fleet of taxi-cabs which had all the latest things in them--automatic shoe shines, television, cigarettes which came out all lit, and all other things which a man in a hurry sometimes forgets. Janet entered a huge department store and glancing up at the sign in front of the store we noticed the owner's name It was that of Lucille Gagnon. Luc1lle's business course and part time Job must have come in real handy for she now owned one of the largest of department store chains in the world. Channel M suggested our classmates Pauline Massarc and Joyce Mcwry and the scene on the screen materialized. It was a fashion salon and a very successful one. I first greeted Pauline Massaro. She in turn called Joyce Mowry and Joan Kaezneski. All three had gotten together after school and decided to go into business. All three had real talent and they really worked together to make a fine establishment of this business. Pauline was handling the business end while Joyce was designing all the gowns the girls wore. Joan Kaczneski was one of the models and made a very beautiful one. The next scene was a familiar one to me as the screen showed a room in the Hotel Plaza in Washington. Sitting behind a huge desk in his private suite was Jerry Lefebvre I guess our trip to Washington really inspired Jerry as he was making out all right as Senator from Mssachusetts. He then made a phone call and we heard him say to the person on the other end of the line that he would meet her downstairs. Once downstairs we saw Lucille Garneau. Lucille was Jerry's right hand woman. She made up all his speeches and took care of all his secretorial work. Then noticing a paper lying on the Hotel Desk I saw at the top the name of Merle Patrick. He was the managing editor of this paper -which was considered the best in the world and it had just increased its circulation to surpass the New York Times. At this point Paul volunteered the the information that Barbara Sherwood was society page editor. Both Barbara and Merle had been school reporters, and now they were doing very well in their chosen field. Then we heard the long enthusiastic roaring of a crowd and when the screen picture cleared we saw a ball park and on the pitchers mound was Alfred Richards. He had really made good at baseball and was the ace pitcher of the World Champions. He had broken many records by his pitching prowess and was sure to break many more. Channel V showed us a large garage which fixed planes cars, trucks--anything. Hearing the ball game being broad- cast in the station intrigued us so we looked closer and I saw Ernie Verhoest watching the game on television. He was really a fan of A1's and they were both really good friends. Whenever Al was in town he would live with Ernie. Ernie's station was one of the biggers and best equipped stations in Bellingham and Ernie really liked it here. He knew his business and he always was popular. Just then Paul shut the machine off as it was begin- ning to heat up. He told us it was a real success though and that it only needed a few alterations. Shirley and I were enthusiastic and congratulated Paul on such an ad- vance in the field of television. We hated to part--- each returning to the work-a-day world, but with much hand- shaking and promises we vowed to meet again soon for ano- ther vislt with our happy and successful classmates. agf one Ceegfcmenf We, the thirteenth graduating class of Bellingd ham High School, Cknown also as the Globe Trottersl being of sound mind Kas sound as air can bel and fdbody do hereby present the followin bits of could salvage from four years of school To Mr Rowe we leave the remains of B.H.S. and a summer in which to re- ,, . -f,: . , 7 g wiki?

To Mr. Collins we bequeath a diction- ary for his Sikology Class in order that they may know how to spell Sikol ogy. To Miss Ballou we leave our undying gratitude for putting up with us for four years and a case of empty asprin bottles. To Miss Mulgrew, we leave a chewing gum receptacle so that she won't al- ways have a sticky waste basket. To Miss Bailey, we leave an engineer so that she may have her globe 'con- structed. To Roland Chamberland we leave a pun- ch clock so that he may get paid for all his extra work. Lee Ambler leaves to Alcide Bruneau a no-slip, no-spill, no-splash punch bowl with handles. We hope he car- ries on better than Lee. Mary Arsenault bequeaths to Lillian Laprade her ability to answer the teachers' questions with a Joke so that she may evade dif- f1cult.ques- tions Shirley Crooks leaves to future solid geometry students her ability to sew so that they may construct a dodecahedron. Helen Dolan leaves her quiet, retiring manner to Evelyn Moore. She sure needs it. Janet Fleuette leaves to Barbara Fortin her flatfingers and a worn out typewriter. Lucille Gagnon leaves to Anita Petrosky her ability to pick up all the news about everyone so that Anita may have a Rumors Are Flying Broadcast,yhat will last three periods. Lucille Garneau leaves to the next senior class treasurer her bookkeeping skill. Our Treasurer's report came out even after four years. After all, nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Joan Kaczneski and Ernie Verhoest bequeath the love seat in Room III to Moe and Mary so that they won't be bored by Mac- beth. Paul Latallle leaves his nonchalant way with the girls to Andy Gregoire. We hope Andy can fight them off as well. Gerald Lefebvre leaves to Barbara Chliszczyk a record of her name to be played whenever there is any doubt of how to spell it - or in case she forgets. Pauline Massaro leaves the secret of keeping thin, while al- ways eating, to Charlie Pantano: Just the record 'One Meat Ball.' Joyce Mowry leaves her ability to draw Pictures, Posters, and People to Danny'Wh1tehouse. Merle Patrick leaves his softwood desk to Al Cote so that he may sleep during English. Romeo Pelland leaves his Job at the bakery to Maurice Pelland so that he can make a little dough after school. Alfred Richard leaves his books entitled WJust Walk 'Em In' or 'How to Lose Three Hit Ball Game' to Roger Marcet. Barbara Sherwood leaves her high marks and gentle ways to all the high school girls as an example of what a busy senior can do. D Now in the presence of three witnesses, we declare this to be our last will, thereby revoking all wills made by said class. We close this twenty-third day in the year of Our Lord, nine- teen hundred and fifty.
