Long have been the years since first we came. Many the ways you tried to frame On baby lips your hallowed name. That you did succeed and plant Much deeper than you knew we grant; For in living dreams we trace The hopes of culture and of grace That in our daily lives find place. And by the glint of coming night. Though our days have all been bright. We find the thought of leaving you Encircling our hearts both tried and true- Sad hearts all veiled from others ' view. As upon the shore of life we gaze. Our faithful hearts with love ablaze. We trtist your prayers will help us soar Far, far above the World ' s varied shore To endless joy and bliss forevermore. By MURIEL JODOIN y iass We yawn and stretch and rub our eyes to awaken ourselves to the fact that our four happy years at Bellingham High School have swiftly sped away It is now time for the class of 1951 to inscribe its history in the records of Bellingham High School. 0, what a wonderful feeling... 0, what a glorius day it was that September morning in 1947 as we entered the portals of this school as Freshmen. The build¬ ing was not new to us as we had been here as eighth graders, but it was a new and wonderful adventure filled with excitement and joy.Babble and chatter filled the hall as we renewed our acquaintances. We had just settled down to our course of study when we were beseiged by the seniors to do their bidding on Initiation Day.Laughs came from all sides because of the manner in which we had to perform. We obeyed their commands and were well rewarded in the evening as their guests at an Acquaintance Dance. Our first duty was to elect class officers who would guide us through our first year. They were as follows: Wilfred Vekeman, president; Mary Mazdrachi, vice-president; Marcia Crooks, secretary; Robert Pelland, treasurer; and Ethel Gaskill and Ramsey Desrosiers, student council. Miss Ledoux was our class advi¬ sor. Peace and quiet now prevailed as we settled down to serious study.After the Christmas holidays we made plans for our first social event,the Valentine Dance. Everyone forgot their cares as they danced in an auditorium gaily decorated with red and white streamers, cupids, and ruffled hearts. June came quickly and with a class trip to Nantasket we said so-long to our friends and to our Freshman year. Our Sophomore year was not an easy one. It seemed to be one long day after another of studying and exams. Class officers elected were: Mary Mazdrachipres¬ ident; Robert Pelland, vice-president; Marcia Crooks, secretary; Preston Fisher, treasurer; and Ethel Gaskill and Ramsey Desrosiers, student council.We were hap¬ py to learn that Miss Bailey was our class advisor. Our first social event was our Thanksgiving Dance.lt was a great success and we had fun as we danced to the music of Bucky Merchant’s orchestra. Our turkey raffle was also a great benefit to our treasury. The winter season brought basketball games and our class was well represented on the court and on the cheering squad. February 18,we held our class banquet and at the same time learned a lot about cooking chickens. We also ordered our class rings and in June we again enjoyed our second class outing to Nantasket. Why did it always have to rain that day? As jolly Juniors running up the steps of Bellingham High we eagerly assumed our task and once again settled down to a very busy year. Campaigning over, elections resulted in the following leaders being chosen: Alcide Bruneau, presi¬ dent; Warren Duffina, vice-president; Alfred Cote, secretary; Robert Pelland, treasurer; Barbara Fortin and Preston Fisher, student council. Miss Bailey was again our class advisor. How proud we were when our class rings arrived and soon the room was all aglow as they adorned our fingers. While studying was foremost in our minds,our social affairs and extra-curri¬ cular activities were not overlooked. The Halloween Barn Dance was held in Octo¬ ber and it was a happy affair. The auditorium resounded with music and gaiety. Again practice sessions in basketball brought forth our best players,and our en¬ ergetic cheerleaders again were included in the cheering squad. We’ll Remember April ...yes, and our Junior Prom. Will we ever forget the work of transforming the auditorium into a flower-filled garden with trailing rose arbors and picket fences. Beautiful gowns, the crowning of our Xing and Queen Alcide Brunoau and Barbara Fortin, the strains of Gene King ' s orchestra, and the long line of cars going for a snack are all happy memories.After the af¬ fair our treasurer ' s report was most satisfactory. Baseball, final exams, and our class trip to Nantasket again, and another class had graduated. Next year would be our turn. Tine waited not and our summer vacation sped quickly and now we were Sen¬ iors. It seemed as though all our dreams had oome true. Our days were over-sha¬ dowed by the thought that this was our last year at Bellingham High. Class offi¬ cers elected for the last time were Alcide Bruneau, presidentjDaniel Whitehouse, vice-president; Marcia Crooks, secretary; Robert Pelland, treasurer; Barbara Fortin and Preston Fisher, student council; and Mary Mazdrachi, Chairman of sen¬ ior activities. Miss Bailey was our class advisor. It was our turn to initiate the freshmen, and they were rewarded in the evening with an acquaintance dance. Our main objective this year was to raise funds for our trip to Washington. Realizing how much we would have to work for this, our first project was a bazaar held in December. The cooperation with which the class worked made the affair very successful. We also held paper drives, dances, a raffle, and sold candy at basketball games to raise our funds. Basketball season was with us again and we were proud of the superb perform¬ ances of our athletes. Pres Fisher, A1 Cote, and Al Bruneau. We were cheering our boys on for the last time and we were also proud of our cheerleaders, Lil Laprade, Mary Mazdrachi, and Liz Stratman. The exciting moments of some of those games will long be remembered. A formal dance, the Mistletoe Ball was held before our Christmas vacation. The Epilogue staff under the capable direction of our editor-in-chief, Dan¬ iel Whitehouse, began collecting and arranging the material for our yearbook. It was finally arranged and sent to the printer. Then came the long-awaited day. Yes, we were really leaving for Washington. Our goal had been reached and our hopes realized. The thrill and anticipation of April 14th as we boarded the bus for Providence and then the train to New York. New York was unforgetable. Its towering skyline, its network of communications, and the historical and beautiful buildings and places which we visited left a lasting impressive on us. Washington, magnificent in appearance and in heritage, will always be a treasured memory. Turning homeward, we visited Annapoibis and enjoyed its beautiful surroundings. Another day in New York and finally the trip home...tired but happy we all agreed that it was a week that will live always in our hearts and minds. A play entitled ’’The Darling Brats was produced under the direction of Mr. Collins. Baseball season came with spring and Roger Marcet and Al Cote again dis¬ played their good sportmanship and ability. All the joys that we shared during the past four years are now but memories. The days and weeks had passed by so quickly and finally June was here. How could we concentrate on our exams with Commencement Yfeek just ahead? We shall ever re¬ member our class outings, the excitement in preparation for our Class Banquet, our Class Night, and Commencement. With joy mingled with sadness we received our diplomas as a token of our security in this world. Our Commencement Ball climaxed our activities at Bellingham High School where we will ever look back as alumni. . , A it it 0 | 32 , i ■ 1 r 39M K ladS Editing a big city newspaper isn’t all fun, but when a news story such as the one I received this morning makes the headlines, I can’t help but grin and feel a swelling sensation in my chest. Bruneau Cops Oscar” was the way this particular headline read. Ah, yesl My ole buddy and former class president... 1 always had a yen for acting and since he broke into Hollywood a number of years ago I haven’t missed a single picture in which he starred. And now,for the first time,he copped all the laurels turning in a splendid performance in a beautiful love story en¬ titled Julie My Six-guns”. As I placed the paper on the desk and leaned back in the chair,ny head nest¬ ling comfortably on its leather-padded rest, ny thoughts drifted back over the years to that evening in the Bellingham High School auditorium when each of seventeen students—proudly and with a feeling of accomplishment—accepted his hard-earned diploma. My mental wanderings lingered contentedly on that thought for a moment. The present was all that mattered then, the future was a haze of uncertainty. And now here it is ten years later. What of those years that have elasped? Have ny classmates penetrated that darkness of doubt? Did they find that elusive key to success? Curiosity was aroused now and no less than complete knowlege of the whereabouts of iy former mates could extinguish its flaming passion of won¬ der It is only natural that of some of my classmates I have definite knowlege, but of the remaining I have none. Familiar to me, of course, is the success of Lilliane Laprade who handles the business end of this newspaper. A great manager, she is constantly brimming over with wonderful ideas. Her exceptional business talents came to the fore when, as a member of our yearbook staff,she handled this particular phase of publication with skill and alacrity. And then there is A1 Cote and Roger Marcet who are also connected with this newspaper. Both were inseparable in high school and it seems only natural that they should work side by side now. Kurley writes a daily column,a convenient out¬ let for his unquenchable source of inimitable witticisms. Cet is our chief photo¬ grapher with an uncanny knack for always being at the scene when the bigger news stories break out. Cet and Kurley together compose the best reporting team in the country. Why, only a short time ago they brought in the story of Barbara Fortin ' s mar¬ riage to a very wealthy oil tycoon.Babs had been his secretary and apparently the guy liked figures better than letters. Another evening the awesome twosome covered the debut in Carnegie Hall of a very promising and talented young pianist, our own Mary Mazdrachi. Many were the times Mary livened up class get-togethers with a varied program of popular and classical selections on the 88 ”. And now in Carnegie Hall when she had touched the last note of an especially difficult concerto, so many people milled about congratulating her that poor Cet had a hard tine getting a picture. When he de¬ veloped it we were surprised to see Muriel Jodoin standing beside Mary. Cur music critic volunteered the information that Muriel, who had composed our class poem so many years before, had developed into a brilliant lyricist and had written the lyrics to a song rendered earlier in the concert by none other than Barbara Cramb. We received word a few days later that Barbara, a smooth alto even in our school days, had been chosen to play the lead in a new Rodgers-Hammerstein musi¬ cal But to this point I have been able to outline the success of eight of my classmates with ease. What of the remaining of whom I have lost contact? There must be some way, some method od obtaining information about them. Then I remem¬ bered our newsoaper file. Where are more facts and data contained than in the files of a bie newsoaoer? W L l j ronhecu ' In e moment I was out of my chair. I walked down the length of the broad cor¬ ridor, took the elevator to the second floor, and made my way to the filing room. As I was about to enter, a feminine voice stopped me and as I turned Lil Laprade came up and handed me a letter she had just received. It was from Robert Felland requesting a full-page advertisement for a chain of barber shops he intended opening within the month. I noticed the corners of Lil ' s lips turned slightly up¬ ward and knew that she was as pleased as I to find that our class treasurer had made a success in his chosen field. After explaining my reason for going into the filing room, Lil admitted that she had felt the same way for some time but as yet hadn’t done anything about it. We entered together and immediately began poring over the file. Ten minutes later Lil called out that she had found one on Pecky” Fisher dated but a few weeks earlier. The article stated that Pecky had been named per¬ manent director of the NCAA basketball tournaments, a tribute to Pecky’s excep¬ tional skill on the basketball court. Only recently Pecky had retired from active participation having completed a number of seasons with the championship Celtics during which time he shattered the all-time scoring records,with no little thanks to the fine passing of his teammate, Moe Gregoire. Moe, the team’s playmaker, was now coach of the Celtics according to another clipping I dug up a few minutes later. fin item in the society section brought us two steps nearer to our goal when I discovered that Liz Stratman ' s gown creations had been given the ’’stamp of appro¬ val” by the elite of New York and Paris. Liz had always enjoyed designing and making clothes and her talents had been finally given their long-overdue recogni¬ tion. Also mentioned in this article was the fact that the nation ' s leading model had posed in Liz’s gowns. The model was Helen Wesolowski and she had been offered a contract to appear in a number of Beauty Soap commercials on one of the bigger TV shows. Lil and I continued our search and were almost ready to give up when she found another story, this one about Maurice Pelland.The story disclosed that Uoe , who had joined the Marines soon after graduation from BHS, had been promoted to master sergeant and attached to the toughest company of leathernecks in the en¬ tire unit. Moe had already won a chest full of citations and one measly company of bruisers was no match for the incomparable Fearless Fat . As Lil put the article back into its proper place and closed the files, my eyes suddenly focused on a newspaper whose banner indicated a recent edition of my old home-town paper. The Woonsocket Call. We scanned its pages hurriedly and right there in the Bellingham news section was the final link. Marcia Crooks, teacher of mathematics at BHS and athletic director and coach of the girls ' unde¬ feated basketball and softball teams,had recently attended a party given in honor of Ethel Gaskill who celebrated her tenth wedding anniversary. The article also offered the information that Ethel was a part-time writer for magazines, and when I learned her pen-name I discovered I had read many of her stories. And so there it was, seventeen former classmates, all accounted for, all hap¬ py, all successful. Our curiosity satisfied we left the room and I sauntered back to my office, sat down once again at the desk and began editing the columns and stories that would appear in the evening edition of the newspaper. I glanced up at the sound of voices and saw through the open door Cet and Kurley strolling down the corri¬ dor bent on an assignment. They were walking and talking in that peculiar manner so characteristic of them when they had been up to some deviltry. Inwardly my heart leaped and though I didn ' t realize it at the moment I was smiling. For there were two members of a wonderful high school class, as com¬ pletely unaffected as they had been ten years before. Their positions in life had changed, but fundamentally they themselves had not. I suspect this is true of all my former classmates for, regardless of distance in time and distance in miles that would inevitabl y increase between us, we still were and always would be Bel¬ lingham High School ' s class of 1951. r V m • - ? ■ - ‘ •- . v_ ♦ - Ft y lzuv 461 HIT PARADE The Things We Did Last Summer..PARTIES Could Be...........THE RIGHT ANSWER Why Don ' t You Do Right.................CHEMISTRY LAB.

And that wasn ' t all. They added to their laurels by downing a stubborn Franklin quintet for the Franklin Rotary Club trophy. The Blackhawks overcame a first quarter deficit in the first game with Black- stone and went on to win 39-31, With a one-game edge, a ohance to capture that elusive Tradeboard trophy in straight games didn ' t go by the boards as Bel¬ lingham staved off a last period Blackstone rally to win the second game, 45- 44. The initial game with Franklin saw the Hawks bow 51-44 on the Panthers ' court. At - home, however, a scoring spree in the first half gave B.H.S. the necessary momentum to coast to a well-earned victory, 55-49. On a neutral floor at Mil¬ ford, Capt. Fisher and A1 Bruneau, snaring rebounds off both backboards, led their team to a 27-24 conquest and the trophy. These victories alone made the 1950-51 season a successful one and the squad members were rewarded at a school assembly with jackets of the school colors. Our future teams are only as good as the junior varsity, and this year the Jayvees, composed entirely of freshmen and sophomores, had an excellent sea¬ son boasting a 12-9 record. c f A Cote forward Fisher A Bruneau forward B Rowe guard A.

BASEBALL Inexperience proved costly to the Toppers in 1950 as they won but two games of eleven. Candidates reported to Coach Bill Conlon for the first practice session early in April, and elected Ernie Verhoest captain. As the season progressed Lee Ambler wielded the ’’biggest stick” and wound up the campaigr with a lusty .375 average. Although the team won only two games they proved to be an aggressive unit fighting right down to the last ”out” in each and every contest. Their poor record was not a result of a lack of hustle and team spirit. 1950 SCHEDULE Opponent B.H.S. fl Franklin..6..2 Blackstone.15.1 I ii-lis ..«. • .. .10...... 4 Westwood.........6.••••.4 iVedway ......11......8 I edfield .3.2 Blackstone.••••••6.....10 Hopedale.........8......7 W e s two od ........12... ..11 Franklin......... 7...... 3 Medfield.2.8 ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CHEERLEADERS j ( STUDENT COUNCIL CONCERT CLUB V GLEE CLUB RADIO CLUB • ' - COMPLIMENTS OF President. .
