Burke Once again I exhort you to set for yourselves some particular goal in life. This objective might be very remote at this time, but it would seem that you have now reached the stage in your life when your vocational plans should begin to crystallize. Since your graduation is also called commencement, it points up the fact that you are embarking on your life's work. Your preparation thus far has been of a general nature and, if you have applied yourself in the proper manner, it should serve as a foundation for your chosen work. May I extend to each and everyone my best wishes for your success. Always remember that your success will, of necessity, include service to your community. 8 BRYANT AGUIAR Smiley — General With a happy smile and a merry greeting 4 Most likely to be playing sports.

Rudy Cabral passed away At only sixteen years. But he is with us every day In memories so dear. His hand we'll never touch again; His eyes we'll never see. We cannot alter in this life What was meant to be. He always had a smile. His enemies were few. He loved athletics and the out-of-doors; Good sportsmanship he knew. But the joys and pleasures of his life Were soon to fade away, For his Heavenly Father was to call him back On that sublime and tranquil day. March 22, 1952, Marked the dawn of his life anew. Although not with us these past few years. This humble tribute to him we pay. The memory of him will linger with us Especially on Graduation Day. 25 First row, left to right: S. Motrone, J.

MorobeHo senior class officers President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Santa Motrone James Ferreira Edith Anderton Nancy Mascena EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE John Furtado — Robert Paiva Joseph Vaccaro Marklyn Trainor — Mary Ann Marabello Advisor Miss E. Doris Bullock class history It is June, 1980, the year that Bristol is celebrating its three hundredth anniversary and at which time the Class of 1955 is holding its twenty-fifth reunion. While sitting on the train, I kept glancing nervously at my watch, hoping that I wouldn't be late. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, and then heard the conductor call out, Bristol, Rhode Island; last stop; all out! With a start I opened my eyes and saw a modern railroad station in a very familiar location — the foot of Franklin Street. I hurried up to Hope Street and then to my Alma Mater. Several others were trying to gain access to the building at the same time as I. Could these distinguished businessmen and matronly women that were crowding the entrance be the same shy and awkward sophomores of only twenty-five years ago? How the memories crowded through my mind as I shook hands with my classmates. Then I heard someone call out my name and ask if I would read the class history that I had written. As I glanced at the paper the words before me brought back many happy moments. It was September again and time to get back to the old grind, but this year there was much excitement and anticipation about it. Yes, today would be our first day in the Bristol Senior High School. We loitered near the entrance and then found our home rooms, and were directed to the Auditorium where we heard our principal, Mr. Burke, explain rules and regulations that were to be followed. Our officers elected for the year were: President, Charles Ouellette; Vice President, Santa Motrone; Secretary, Theresa Mello; Treasurer, Anthony DuPont. The following were members of the executive committee: Marguerite Rebello, Madeline Rose, Nancy Mascena, and Dorothy Cavallaro. We settled down to our work and then in January the nervous tension of examinations began again. The dreaded word was on every tongue and in every mind — midyears. After the ordeal, days passed quickly and May finally arrived. Then it was time for the Sophomore Hop, a dance sponsored by the Sophomore Class. The next month came, bringing with it finals and summer vacation. September came again all too soon and we returned to school to start the second year of the best years of our lives. The officers elected to represent our class were: President, James Ferreira; Vice President, John Furtado; Secretary, Mary Buckley; Treasurer, Nancy Mascena. Members of the executive committee were: Jerome Simmons, Dorothy Cavallaro, Edward Cunard, Santa Matrone, Marguerite Rebello, and Anthony DuPont. We began our regular activities, attending football and basketball games, dances and parties until March. Then everyone began talking about whom they were going with, what they wre wearing, etc. Yes, to the Junior Prom. The dance was held April 30 26 and in the beautifully decorated Colt Auditorium all danced to the music of Al Rosen. The soft lights and charming music made the evening go by too quickly. We started to look forward to our summer vacation which would be our last one from Colt. Before we knew it September was here again and we were back at school, we the mighty seniors. The class held its first meeting soon after the opening date for the election of officers. They were: President, Santa Matrone; Vice President, James Ferreira; Treasurer, Nancy Mascena; and I, Edith Anderton, Secretary. Elected to the executive committee were: Mary Ann Marabello, Marklyn Trainor, Joseph Vaccaro, John Furtado, and Robert Paiva. In October were received our class rings and made sure that everyone, especially the underclassmen, saw them. The busy days passed quickly and class pictures were the next step on that long ladder leading to graduation. In December, the pupils were chosen for their ports in the class play, Girl Crazy, which was held on February 3rd and 4th. The play was very successful as was the operetta presented, under the patient and capable direction of Mrs. Donovan, on April 14th and 15th. June was upon us all too soon and then it was Class Day, the day the wills, prophesies, and history were read revealing our innermost secrets and ambitions. The banquet was held that night and the food disappeared almost as soon as it was placed on the tables. Then, at last, the big moment arrived — that moment that every student looks forward to, some with regret, others with great rejoicing — Graduation. The members of the senior class were very solemn that night as they sat on the stage and heard the first strains of Alma Mater. They tried to fight back the lumps that rose in their throats. On Friday night the Senior Reception was held. Everyone was dressed in graduation finery. This would be the last time the class would meet as a group. After the dance the members of the class of 1955 separated — each to go his own way.

Several deep sighs of relief issued from faculty. 27 class prophecy-college preparatory class The conductor tapped me gently on the shoulder. Excuse me. Miss, but would you like to read a copy of the Bristol 'Phoenix' while you wait ior the train to start? I thanked him, and began scanning the headlines: Bristol Celebrates its Three Hundredth Year — Many Celebrities Present for Events. Why of course, I thought to myself, it's 1980 — twenty-five years have flown by since our graduation from Colt. I heard a shout of All aboard and glanced out of the window. There was on attractive blonde woman and, I supposed, her teen-age daughter running toward the train. They came into our car and sat opposite me. I couldn't help noticing their very chic attire, for being in the fashion world myself, I was conscious of clothes on other women. How familiar the woman's voice was to mel I kept reading but could not concentrate. All at once the woman asked politely if she could have a page of the Phoenix to read, for she, too, was on her way to the celebration. Why, BARBARA BALZANOI Of coursel Her daughter was the very image of Barbara in her high school days. We talked continuously from Union Station to the depot in Bristol. I explained that I was on a month's vacation and had just returned from France, where I had been working as the Paris editor of Harper's Bazaar. Barbara told me that she had divorced her first husband, who was president of the Texaco Oil Company and was now living quite comfortably with her debutante daughter in a Fifth Avenue penthouse. It was rumored that she hod been seen at the Stork Club with the owner of the Modeling Agency where she had been modeling mother-daughter fashions, but she flatly denied any romantic intentions. Strictly a business venturel she declared. We both were pleased to read in the list of celebrities in the Phoenix, the name of one of our former classmates, VIRGINIA BERNARD. She had become a world-famous scientist, having discovered the fifth dimension. She was doing important research at Columbia University for the government, but had taken a few days off to come to the celebration. According to the personal interview written up in the newspaper, Ginny was giving credit for all her success to Mr. Securo for giving her an excellent preparation while at Colt. We also noted that the governor of Rhode Island would be making a speech this afternoon. Barbara and I were really looking forward to this, for his Honor was none other than the inimitable — EDDIE CORDEIRO. He always was called Big Ed, I recalled. The train pulled into the station and Barbara and I promised to see each other at the reunion being held the following day. I carefully checked the schedule and saw that a regatta was about to get under way. I had always enjoyed sailing immensely, so I taxied to the Yacht Club. A great multitude was gathered on the pier and on the upper terrace of the club. On the end of the pier I noticed a particularly large group that appeared to be watching something other thon the races. Nearing the edge of the crowd I saw what it was that was attracting so much attention. A grey-haired, but comparatively young, handsome man was seated before an easel, painting a scene of sailboats in the harbor. He wore faded dungarees and a plaid shirt, as well as a pair of well-worn sneakers. Like a typical Provincetown artist he was smoking a pipe, and appeared quite unruffled and nonchalant about the many persons crowded around him. Putting the finishing touches on the painting with his brush, he signed his name at the bottom — CHARLES OULLETTE. I guess those many hours in Miss Nerone's art classes did have some marked effect on Charlie. I then focused my attention on the White Caps which were about to start. One led all the rest, and using a small pair of binoculars I could see that the skipper was a distinguished fair-haired yachtsman. I turned to the person beside me and inquired about him. As I had guessed it was RALPH LARSON. He had taken over the Herreshoff Boat Yard and was specializing in White Caps and luxurious, streamlined, and well-equipped quahog boats. By this time the boats were well on their way, so I thought I would go into the Club for some refreshments. There was quite a stir of excitement in the parking lot next to the building. A long, chauffeur-driven, foreign sports car had just pulled up. Several body guards got out and a pretty woman on the arm of her husband, who was wearing a white uniform covered with gold braid and medals. From the whispers about me, I surmised that this was the Count and Countess of Orange in the Netherlands. To my complete amazement and probably even more surprising to the crowd, the Countess rushed toward me and cried out a greeting. It was JUNE HADFIELDI We had so much to talk about but above all I wanted to hear how she had ever become a Countessl June explained that she had met her husband through a young Dutchman who had been visiting the Price family. June and I then wandered onto the terrace for a cooling lemonade, and to talk over old times in our high school days. We were greatly amused by a delegation of kindergarten children playing tag on the lawn. Their teacher, a matronly woman in her forties, was good-naturedly playing ball with one of her charges. In a wild throw the ball bounced under our table and she came to retrieve it. June and I exchanged perplexed looks, then in one breath exclaimed, MARLENEI So it wasl She looked up in surprise, and at our invitation joined us for a cool drink. Marlene laughingly described RAWSON'S DELIVERY SERVICE. It seems that every morning she drives a large comfortable truck around town, picking up her children, who then spend the remainder of the day at her nursery school. She also blushingly admitted that ten of her former pupils were her own children. We were curious about some other of our classmates who had remained in Bristol. Marl obligingly told us that KEITH LUTHER and JAMES TERRA, having successfully completed an agricultural course at R. I. U. had become partners in scientific farming. They now were coowners of Colt Farm and both quite happily married to local girls. TOMMY MANCINI had become nationally famous. He was a daredevil unicycle artist and had his own carnival, which 28 trained in the winter months on the Bristol Common. Marlene urged us not to miss his oct. I silently thought to myself, If only Mr. Capone could see him nowl How about VIRGINIA DEITORO? June inquired. Oh, she is the manager of Mama Mia's Used Car Loti Ginger greets each potential customer personally, serving them pizza and coffee. Needless to say, Mamma Mia's is a very popular place. She's sold a great number of cars too — all with built-in cushioning ' I was fascinated to hear about all of my friends, but the next race was about to begin, so we reluctantly left Marlene with her forty children and walked out on the pier. The beetle class was under way and the woman beside us seemed unduly excited. She peered anxiously through the field glasses and called encouragement to several small boys that were skippering. ANGELA PANZARELLAI Why this certainly is a surprise! The woman turned, a bit puzzled at first, but at lost she recognized us. We were only too anxious to know the reason for all her concern for the beetle doss. Haven't you heard of the Mt. Hope Prep School for Boys, and their champion racing crews? She was astounded. My old friend WALTER YOUNG had founded this private school on the HaffenrofFer estate, and Angela was hired as chief cook ond dietician. I wondered ond with a smile if this prep school resembled that one Walt had mentally designed during geometry periods. We learned from Angela that JOSEPH MOTTA had attained the position of Chief of the Narragonsett Council of Boy Scouts ond was personally conducting a troop of Scouts in every parade. Angela began ogain to shout words of encouragement to the boys but something appeared to be interfering with the race. A fabulous, luxurious launch had come steaming ocross the course. It was unmistakably VAN LEAHY, the famous heart-throb of Hollywood, who wos summering in Newport at his estate, but decided to come up for the regatta. He couldn't have caused a greater sensationl On the deck, among the many bathing beauties, were the famed producer of Van's latest film, and the producer's wife, NATALIE D RISA, the vivacious Spanish actress. June ond I could hardly wait to talk to John ond Nat — they were so successful in our class ploy, we imagined that they were in the Cadillac — swimming pool category by nowl The launch was moored next to the Yacht Club, ond the celebrities disembarked amidst a flurry of excitement. Nat was exotically attired in a bright sarong-type afternoon dress and straw sandals. Of course she had dark glasses, to ochieve the movie star effect. As John (or I should say, Von ), stepped smiling onto the pier, two starry-eyed teen-ogers swayed, and one promptly fainted. It might have been the heat, I explained to the Navy nurse with a wink. She turned and smiled, and I immediately recognized her as JEANETTE FOTII She quickly rushed to the aid of the embarrassed girl, and then told me that she had to report to her C. O., a lieutenant commander. Jeanette thought we would like to meet her, so we followed her into the club. There sat MARKLYN TRAINOR, looking very trim in her Wave uniform. I congratulated Markie on her successful career ond the distinguished rank she hod attained. We sot down with our two friends to hear about their travels. Markie told us that she and Jeanette had been sent on a Pacific cruise for a few weeks and had quite an amusing experience. One evening they had stopped at an island and went into the town for a local dance. Whom should they find instructing the natives in the latest jitterbug steps, but EDNA VERMETTE! She hod married on officer in the Air Force ond they were stationed in the Hurricane Islands of the Pacific. By some strange coincidence, their island was called Hurricane Ednal The Countess and I reluctantly left Markie ond Jeanette and tried again to watch the sailing. The roces were all very close and we were disappointed when the lost boot finally crossed the finish-line. The committee boat came in next to the dock to ollow the commodore of the Yacht Club and his socially prominent wife to step off. The wife was, to our amazement, EMILY GARVIN! We greeted her warmly and she graciously invited us to be her guests at the reception to be held in honor of the racing champions. The reception was a gala offoir. To our great delight even the governor and his party arrived on the scene. Eddie came over to talk with us awhile about the big-scoop at the capitol. He had his private secretary along with him — ELAINE SOUSAI She hod accepted this position after working for several years as a nurse and receptionist to a physiciatrist. She and the doctor were very happily married and had three well-adjusted children. Eddie also hod one of his aides with him — the chairman of the workmen's compensation board, CHARLES RAIOLA. Charlie and Eddie were planning a campaign for re-election this fall. June, or I should say, the Countess ond I mingled with the crowd, meeting old friends, and talking about old times. In the course of our conversations we heard that Suzanne Rene hod become a very successful portrait artist and traveled all over the world painting famous government officials, debutantes, ond royalty. A group of committeemen were in a heated discussion obout the condition of Bristol s streets for the parade to be held the next day. As I understood it, JOSEPH REGO and A. J. NUNES Construction Company hod just begun a project to narrow Hope Street and beautify the town by planting trees. The line of march would hove to be completely altered to allow for the tearing up of the business district. Hoping they would soon find a solution to the fo-miliar problem, we left the committee. As we left the Club, June and I were drawn into o huge crowd which had gathered around two elephants - one twice the size of the other. Astride the smaller beast was SANDY PAGANO, wearing khaki Bermuda shorts and o khaki shirt. She wore dork glasses ond was carrying a clip board and pencil. Looking up we saw a small, suave gentleman, similarly dressed, but wearing a pith helmet ond rifle. CARLTON PINHEIROII The very picture of a wild-game hunter in Africa ond as Sandy explained it, she octed as his girl Friday, keeping on accurate account of the animals he had bagged. This certainly was the climax of an exciting day. I have my doubts about tomorrow! JANET K. JANNSEN 29 class prophecy-commercial class Today Bristol celebrated her 300th anniversary and what a wonderful day it was. I arrived in town this morning by car and my chauffeur had a hard time finding a parking space across the street from what used to be Guisti's but was now a Home for Old People. It was a pretty modern building, and some of the old people were nosily sipping milk juleps on the patio. As I was about to leave I heard someone call my name and I turned to see THERESA BARBOZA running down the steps of the Home. Theresa was head of the Home, and since we hadn't seen each other in years, we had much to talk about. She hadn't changed a bit except she was a little thinner, wore glasses, had gray hair and used a hearing aid. She told me that ROSE CANALE was working in Mexico as a bullfighter. Rose had always wonted to wear a red cape. I heard the music of the band and I hurried off to find a good place on the sidewalk so I could watch the huge parade. While I was standing there I heard a familiar voice shouting tunelessly: Balloons, Hot Dogs, Cotton Candyl You name it and I've got it. The street peddler was my old friend, LINDA DIAS, sitting on top of a motor-driven contraption that looked like a cross between a fruit truck and a hardware store. She always said she would go into business for herself someday. Close on her heels came the all-time famous parade. One of the first bands I saw was the Portuguese Independence Band directed by DEOLINDA RODRIQUES in a flashy red and green uniform. Then a cage with wild animals in it rolled slowly by with the brave trainer standing in the center of the cage cracking her whip. Just as the cage passed by, I got a good look at the trainer who turned out to be LORRAINE BROWN. While I gazed with open-mouthed astonishment at the disappearing cage, I heard a nerve shattering sneeze behind me and I knew it could be no one else but NANCY BUCKLEY. She was wearing a sandwich board which read, Try Buckley's Super Snuff, One Sneeze Puts Your Mind at Ease. And off she went sneezing down the street. I turned my attention to the parade just in time to see a big black motorcycle speed by and riding it was BARBARA ALVES, with the words, The Wild One, printed on her jacket. My, how she hod changed. After the parade was over, I began to feel hungry so I stepped into a diner called the Cup and Saucer which was operated by DOROTHY SAUCER, and ordered a mayonnaise and sardine sandwich. I asked her if she knew anything about my old classmates and she said that LILLIAN BROWN operated an exclusive barber shop for French Poodles. While I was talking to her, a woman dressed in a fur coot, hat, and gloves entered the diner. As soon as she removed her hat, I recognized her at once as PEGGY REBELLO. Peggy was just back from Alaska where she was trying to sell Christmas trees to the Eskimos. Peggy walked with me to the Common, and told me that DEANNE MAGEE was running a private swimming pool for dogs, and no people were allowed. There was a jazz concert going on in the Bandstand and those two famous former classmates of mine; LU ANN ALVES and BETTY ANN JOSEPHS were singing a Be-Bop version of Braham's Lullaby. After they finished singing they were swamped with requests to leave. I continued on my way, making a tour of the various booths until one booth featuring small live lizards on pins caught my eye. As I drew closer to the booth I saw that MARY BUCKLEY was selling them as novel necktie pins. Just as I passed a fortune telling tent, an arm reached out and pulled me in. The fortune teller to my surprise wos BETTY ULSON. She told my fortune for free and then we gossiped a while. I found out that MARY GOMES had gone to Hollywood to co-star with that dashing movie stor, Rin-Tin-Tin. They made wonderful movies together. Unexpectedly a customer entered the tent so I reluctantly said goodbye to Betty. It had started to rain so to avoid uncomfortableness, I paid a dime and ducked into a side show called Megathlin's Flea Circus. Yes, EUNICE MEGATHLIN was the owner and proprietor of the show. By the time the show was over it had stopped raining and a large group of people had gathered around the flagpole. As I came closer I saw that the flagpole was greased and that several people had been trying to climb it but none had succeeded. Then out stepped Bristol's champion flagpole climber, IDA CIRILLO. In o few seconds she climbed the pole and then slid down amidst thunderous applause. The crowd drifted away ond I went over to talk to Ida. Ida invited me to her house for a party after dinner. She said she had invited as many of our former classmates as she could find, so it was going to be a reunion party. I had dinner with my old friend MARY ANN MARABELLO. Mary Ann was in the exterminating business ond her motto was Kill the Pest in Your House. Since Mary Ann hod also been invited to the party, we walked over to Ida's house together. On the way we saw a small thin girl in a white jacket pushing a large broom along the street. She looked very familiar to us so we went over to talk to her. Why it was CAROL GIBREE! Somehow, I never imagined her as a street cleaner, but one can never tell. When we reached Ida's house the party was already in progress. Ida met us ot the door ond ushered us in to the living room which was packed with people. The first person I saw was THERESA MELLO, talking to a small group of intelligent looking people, who were listening to her explanation of what causes smog. I found out later that Theresa was a smog inspector. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around to see SHIRLEY PALMER. Shirley told me that she was a model and I must admit that I was impressed. That is, until I found 30 out that she modeled Dr. Shuller's Foot Pods. A little later we were joined by JOSEPHINE FANARA carrying a troy of stufFed olives. Josephine hod o job in o small department store. She was head assistant to the assistant of the assistant manager in charge of assistance. Then our hostess demonded our attention and introduced her distinguished guest Professor Cavallaro. I was shocked to find out that DOROTHY CAVALLARO was a professor of hypnosis and magic. For her first trick, she pulled a dead rabbit out of her pocket and then made it disappear. We found it later under the piano. For her next trick she decided she would hypnotize someone. She called for a volunteer with a blank mind and out stepped IVA EDLER. After dangling a watch fob in front of Iva's face for a half hour, she finally succeeded in putting Iva to sleep. Then she asked Iva what kind of work she was in and Iva answered that she was.the owner of a small fishing fleet named Edler's Shrimp Boats. After a few more questions, Dorothy awoke her and we all applauded. On my way home I met NANCY MASCENA, dressed in the uniform of the Salvation Army. With a bell in one hand and a tin cup in the other, she was standing on the corner. This didn't surprise me too much because Nancy wos always collecting money when she was in school. When I reached home I heard fireworks in the distance and thought, What a perfect climax to a perfect doyl ANNA DUARTE class prophecy-general class The year is 1980, people from all parts of the country were flocking into Bristol. From a small town, Bristol was now the equal of any large city in the land. Tonight the ploy Macbeth was to hove its grand opening. The players were the best in the country and the theater was the most modern of its type anywhere. That night I managed to arrive early at the theater. After getting settled, I sat bock in my seat and started to read over the program. Taking the lead in the play was the great Shakespearean octor, BRYANT AGUIRE. I turned to a woman seated at my right and told her that Buddy and I were classmates. She looked at me in surprise and. exclaimed that she and Buddy also were classmates. As I peered over my spectacles I immediately recognized ELEANOR CARD. In our conversation she told me that she had become a deepsea diver and searched for rare tropical fish. I asked her if she had heard anything about our old classmates. Eleanor told me that JEROME SIMMONS had put to use his bird call and had become a canary hunter. His whistle paralized the birds and his business was now very successful. And that JAMES FERREIRA had followed his philosophy on life; now he was a political boss in New York. Then the house lights started dimming. As the play progressed I could not help but to remember our class ploy. I could picture MICHAEL VENDITOULI as he wos then on the stage. Now Mike had become President of B. H. S., Bristol Harbor Shellfishing, and wos backing a campaign headed by JOHN MOORE for the Prevention of Cruelty to Quahougers. Time passed quickly and soon it wos intermission. In the lobby I met WILLIAM XAVIER in his flashy Army uniform. Billy had become a Brigadier General in the National Guards. I remembered in school how he always talked to me about the time he had at the armory. While we were talking we were suddenly made aware of a great commotion on the other side of the lobby. An argument wos in full progress. In the middle of the argument wos ROBERT PAIVA. Well, he always did think that he was an authority on everything that's anything. Right now he was on the Investigating Committee that wos investigating the Investigating Committee. Before I could talk to Bob a large sign caught my eye advertising King Cocoa's Chocolate. Under the sign wos a large picture of SANTA MATRONE. I turned and asked Billy about it. He told me that Satch had gone down to South Americo and had started a large chocolate plantation. He now hod a monopoly on all the imported chocolate and the business men had given him the nickname of King Cocoa. It was just about then that we were called back to our seats for the remaining part of the ploy After the players had token their final bow, the Mayor of Bristol, RAYMOND FREITAS, gave one of his short hour-long speeches ond introduced famous men in the audience. Eleanor and I went backstage to congratulate Buddy, at which time we bumped into PEGGY ANDERTON. As we walked along together Peggy told us thot she had become the Football Coach at Colt and for the lost few years she hod had a champion team. Peggy asked us if we had seen LILLIAN MAGEE recently. Naturally we wanted to know why ond we were told thot Lillian was going to Germany where she was to be honored for her work in chemistry. In Buddy's room we found him busy, being interviewed by the local newspaper critics. I decided to wait until he was through and settled bock in on easy chair. I was leafing through a magazine when on advertisement caught my eye. The ad showed on old-foshioned girl busily preserving pickles. I stared at the ad. The model seemed very familiar. Suddenly I recognized her to be PRISCILLA USHER. Finishing the magazine, I looked around the room and saw that I wos not the only one woiting. Two people in particular caught my attention. They were standing in the corner and I could tell by their expressions they were disagreeing obout something. They sow me watching them ond came over toward me. After talking to me for awhile and noticing my confusion they introduced themselves as MARIO MANCIERI ond JOSEPH FURTADO. Morio told me that he and Joe hod become partners in MANTADO'S. 31 I then asked Joe about his brother JOHN. He told me that after graduation, John followed his lifetime ambition and had become a street-cleaner. The last Joe had heard, at the statewide banquet for street-cleaners, John was made Honorary Truck Loaders' Supervisor. I left the theater that night, knowing it would be one night I would always remember. PATRICIA BULLOCK class prophecy general clerical - industrial arts-household arts The big day had arrived — Bristol's 300th Anniversary Celebrationl Crowds from near and far were gathered to watch the gala parade and join in the festivities of this joyous occasion. It was 11 o'clock when the line of marchers commenced. Leading the band of the first division was my old school chum AMEDEE DALLAIRE. Through all these years he had remained with the Kingsmen. And who was that cheerful girl strutting behind him? It looks like PAT VOL-LARO, but it couldn't be. Pat has, or should I soy had, short hair and this girl has a long bob. But, yes, I recognize that familiar smile. While all these familiar thoughts were wandering through my mind, I didn't realize that someone was tapping me on the shoulder. To my surprise, I faced EDDIE CUNARDI It had been several years since I had spoken to Eddie and it certainly was wonderful to talk with him again. He introduced me to his wife whom I recognized from high school days. Now there were three little Cunards. Marriage hadn't changed Eddiel He was just as happy and plump as everl By this time, the third division of the parade was nearing. The Portuguese Independent Band was playing a lively tune and none other than JOHN FARIA had a solo. Those sweet strains were proof that John hadn't lost his ability. Beside him was another classmate, BOB FERRARA. From friends, I had learned he had become a butcher by trade, but I guess The Band was a means of relaxation for him. In the midst of all these marchers, I spotted BOBBY MARSHALL, and Eddie informed me that Bobby had taken over his father's position as director of this organization. JOE TEXEIRA and EDMUND DIAS were his aids. Those three classmates of mine had stayed together all these years. After this reminiscing, I decided to follow the crowd to the Common where there were many concessions. The first, and I must admit the largest, sign I saw was one written in huge red and white letters which read. BENEVIDES and SONS - CHOURICE - BEST IN THE LAND. BENEVIDES? That name sounded familiar. Why I had someone in my class by that namel Weaving my way through the throngs of people, I arrived at the stand and sure enough, there was my old friend Albert. Immediately, I glanced at the attractive girl next to him. Of course, Albert was quick to offer an explanation. No, Frances just helps me at the store, he assured me. My goodness, FRANCES STANZIONE hadn't changed a bit. A few words, and I continued to wander around. Walking towards the center of the Common, I accidentally met ELEANOR CALOURO, who told me that she, BARBARA FOSTER, and BARBARA SALEMA hod been doing charity work for the church during the past few years. They always were girls who were willing to aid a worthy cause. Once more I began my tour of the grounds and as I passed the ferris wheel, I heard a deep voice calling, Tickets, please. Turning, I saw ANTHONY MARSHALL. Then he appeared quite busy, so I decided to talk to him later in the day. Except for a few gray hairs here and there, Anthony looked exactly the same as he did when we went to school together. As I turned, I was confronted with a small blond-headed child at my feet. His mother, ANN GABLINSKI, came toward us. She told me that she and her husband were living in Seekonk, but had come to her home for the holiday. Continuing on my way, I stopped at one of the booths to purchase a cup of coffee. As the lady handed me my change, I noticed that she was my schoolmate, ALMERINDA ARRUDA. She spoke my name and the girl behind her turned and faced me. Surprisingly I turned to ANNETTE MATURI, to whom I had not spoken for two or three years. I wos informed that her husband was on the committee that helped plan this anniversary, so she had offered to work in this concession. I glanced toward Church Street and sow a large gathering of people. Investigating further, I found that a muster was taking place. Was that JOE VACCARO at the head of one of the hose lines? He hod added a few gray hairs, os hod ANTHONY DUPONT who stood behind him. Both men had lost several pounds which did them no harm, but they were the same energetic pals. After Bristol's firemen completed their demonstration, I was able to talk to Tony and ask him about our old friend, MIKE PRINCIPE. He had become general manager of the First National, Tony told me. How time flies!! Why it seems like only yesterday that he was busy carting packages in and out of the store! That evening, my cousin LENORA LOPES, who was awaiting the return of her fmanct from China, went to watch the display of fireworks. When it was all summed up, I had spent one of the best days of my life, meeting all my classmates and reviewing those wonderful times we had enjoyed together at Coltlll 32 MANUEL FERNANDES BRITISH CUP DEFENDER ENDEAVOR This photograph was taken after the Endeavor was defeated by HerreshofF's Rainbow in 1934. Sii Thomas lipton's yacht, Erin marked the finish line. HERRESHOFF YACHT YARD Established in 1863, the Herreshof? Company manufactured a great number of gracerul, streamlined yachts, in its many successful years of business. The world-famous cup-defenders were built in the boat yard at Bristol, and every HerreshofF yocht since the Vigilant has defeated its British rival in the international races. The company was active in ship building for the United States Navy during World Wars I and II. After the Second World War the company abandoned operations ond has been closed until this past year. Harry Town, a former employee of the HerreshofF Company ond owner of the Tiverton Boot Yard, purchased the HerreshofF Yard after Hurricane Carol destroyed his boat yard at Tiverton.

In 1680 it was settled; By people stern and fast. And now that it is so grown up, It boasts of quite a past. Have you ever been a-sailing On our waters wide and free. And seen the lovely coastland That's surrounded by this sea? A busy little village — With its churches and its schools. To educate the children and To teach the golden rules. Of business too, it has its share And many there may be, — From the druggist on the town's main street To the tonger by the sea — The policeman and the baker — The teacher and the clerk — Each representing different jobs. That give our people work. So you see why Bristol is so fair, Our home here by the sea. Why, people come from miles around To see its sceneryl — By Ralph Larson BRISTOL Unique among New Englond towns Surrounded by the sea. Is Bristol, a lovely place With many a beautiful tree. The streets are always bustling With people here ond there. And the breezes from the waters Stir the fog and salty air. The Bosworth House still stands With a bullet in its side Lodged there since the British Siege During the War of '75. Our harbor proves a livelihood For many a Bristol man Who quahogs from his useful boat Working his tongs by hand. The lights, the shadows All compose this quaint New England town. For a place to visit or to live Bristol is the ideal spot around. In the heart of the Mount Hope Land, The town of Bristol does now stand. It received its name as told to me, From a town in England across the sea. Many great men of much renown. Have come from this New England town. Back in the days of the Vikings bold, Our dear old Bristol was a thousand years old. Next came Verruzano who sailed for France, And he told of the Indians whom he saw dance. King Philip's War has oft time been told, To young ones at the knees of parents old. The British bombed Bristol in '75, Our small quiet town was greatly surprised. By Captain Wallace who wonted battle, But settled instead for sheep and cattle. The secession took to war many a Bristol son. Some returned from Appomattox with the battle won. With the war over, in the town did reside, A Union general, Ambrose E. Burnside. Duty has called Bristol men by the score. To Cuba, Verdun, to the Bulge and Korea. The landmarks today are not all the same. Gone are many places that brought Bristol fame. Virtue et Industrie the town does not lack. We'll remember our heritage, and proudly look back! — By Carlton Pinheiro I'M A BRISTOLIAN In comparison to other places it is very small. But it is well appreciated, and enjoyed by all. When tourists come we're happy to show. The famous spots high and low, Mt. Hope Bridge and Colt's Drive, And many places through which they may ride. This little piece of valuable land, Is surrounded by bays, and shores of land. Because of these reasons, and many more. We're all thankful to live here, on this shore. You can tell us from others, whether we're riding or strolling Because we hold our heads high; as if to say — I'm a Bristolian 38 — Barbara Balzano — Angela Panzarella SENIORS THE FAITHFUL DOG Through the corridors the hustle ond bustle of Colt When os little Sophomores we tried to revolt; Then os Juniors come the prom.

Now we are Seniors, the day is here When we must follow our chosen career, Through happiness, sorrow, whatever may come,-We will always cherish our high school fun. At last it's ending onother year And graduation will soon be here. Some with smiles, and others with tears, Will march down the aisle, remembering the years. We'll carry through life those lessons we learned Of scoldings we needed, ond yet did spurn.

This all stands for Bristol, the best town in these parts. — June Hadfield There is a long drive, colorful and gay. Where sits a dog who did homage pay To his master, who was drowned at sea While fishing for food for his family. Sitting during the night, gazing to and fro. Wondering, Where, Oh Where, did my master go? The dog saw the golden sun rise in the east And visualized a perfect picture of peace. When the fiery sphere did rise again He gazed at its glare with mournful pain. For when ships returned from the sea His master's flag he did not see. But there the canine will always stay. Looking o'er the sea, so faithful and brave, Waiting for the voice he loved so dear, That would call his name from a nearby pier.
