She has acted not only as our guide and adviser, but also as a dear, everfhelping friend. Our appreciation knows no bounds. Foreword The REVIEWi' appears again, this time published by the class of 1945. We hope that within this hook we have recorded all those things which will make the past four years stand clearly in our minds. Let us treasure this record of the class of 1945 and of this year 19444945 particularlyg and sometimes, we may even allow ourselves to get slightly sentimental over familiar faces and familiar tales of happenings to us at Burrillville.

For us it was indeed a thrilling day. Bewildered and amazed, we selected some senior hero as our! idol. We wonder, now that we are seniors, if some of us are idols in the eyes of present freshmen. We spent a happy greenhorn year, although at ticket selling time, when our salesmanship showed slackness, we were a little ashamed. Our pleasant class adviser was Mr. Thomas Conley, but when duty called him away to a more important position, Miss Donilon was placed in his stead. Our sophomore and junior years found us with a little more assurance, for we were no longer the lowest classmen. We had no soph dance due to the gasoline shortage, so our first affair was our Junior Halloween dance, which proved a great success. Our fondest memories of these years lie in Miss Flanigan's bright smile and the happy voice of Mrs. Farrell. Our boys also began to be known for their athletic ability and their names appeared on the highlight list of every sport. We, too, began to feel the tightening hand of war, for many of our mates were joining different ranks or leaving for factory positions. We glory, too, in the fact that in our class were such in- tellectuals as Mary, Barbara, Steiner, Rawson and others. In September, 1944, we entered our senior year, the last step in our climb to the outside world. Senior activities began early in the year. Among the list of busy moments were the freshman dance, class rings and pictures, the Christmas dance, proms, senior play and graduation! We were a busy but happy lot. To our surprise we found that being seniors felt exactly like being members of other classes. P Now that the end has finally come, we find it a hard task, indeed, to say farewell. The name Burrillville High has been engraved in our hearts and we shall never forget the many happy moments spent within her walls. We leave our heartfelt thanks and gratitude, and we know that whatever the future holds, never shall we erase her memory. Sing ye for Burr- illville, and may she live forever.

Walking into the studio One brisk September morn, I heard a lovely melody Loom from Bob Steiner's horn. He has a big name band, you know, And aires it once a week. With Norma Piche as singing star, They just cannot be beat. Miss Arlene Brown, the receptionist, Greets me with a smile. It is her job to answer calls And keep all things on file. Three stenographers were in sight- Hathleen, Phyllis, and Rose, Very busy at their desks Discussing the latest shows. The pages-Howard, Leo and Ralph- Were running to and fro. This studio's a busy place. Ask messengers-they know. Aimee, Louise, and Rosalyn, too, Are answering many calls, For they're at the switchboard every day, Each with different drawls. The information booth was next Manned by Miss Guilbault. She answered many questions here On which way, or how, to go. The elevator boys were there Whistling happy notes. There were Alphee Brousseau and Bobby Jahn Dressed up in bright red coats. The floor walker, Mr. George Menard, Works on the second floor. He supervises ushers now. There's no listening at the doorl These ushers: Jimmy, Reginald, Along with Dick Guthrie, Show crowds the way to studio shows. Nice job, you will agree! I looked my program over And all the news devoured, I learned Joyce, Dot and Leah Were guests on Jack Moore's Hour. This Hour is a variety show With questions, laughs, and songs. The guests, if questions can not get, Are gifted with the gong! Miss Alma Round, the comedienne, Whose joy it is to tease, Tells a joke, recites a poem, And keeps the guests at ease. Proceeding down the corridor, I saw a man I knew. 'Nith Janitor marked on his cap I recognized Olney Ballou. I saw a television show And I was filled with glee 'Cause Bill Gervais was starred with Hope Their actions-you should seel Announcers were around, of course, Just inside the doors. Musicians, with their instruments, VVere practising their scores. Walking to another studio I was in for a big surprise, For there on a door was Jack Doyle's name He's a manager now-and wise. He has a private secretary By the name of Elva Lambert. She has to sort out all his mail. She performs her duties well. Norman broadcasts serials And Gordon tells the news. Edith plays the violin To chase away your blues. Mary reads the tea leaves From this spot every night. She tells us things that we should do To keep our futures bright. Shirley and Lawrence are the stars On that story, Their Childhood Romance. Geraldine Faford, who writes this script, Succeeds in her first chance. Archie's the detective On the program Mystery Thrills. While David, the announcer, tells us How to cure our ills. A chorus was rehearsing now Por their show, the Hit Parade. There were Dorothy, Alice, and Gertrude- All masters at their trade. Going down the corridor I heard a brand new tune. Theresa Bertrand was airing it. You'll be hearing it real soon. And then the feature program starts PAGE THIRTY-FOUR With Evelyn as star. She's Lady of the Airlines now. She really has gone far. This program offers us a treat, For who was there to sing But Raymond Nolan, our good friend, l'le's now the music kingl Donald is the engineer On this-the feature show. He's in charge of all controls. l'Ie's really in the know. Lorraine was there with pencil and pad Taking notes for her paper, The News. She was accompanied by Viola Trinque. She has her own column- My Views. Leonard Nick and Charles Burnett Class Will . Were running all around. They're sound-effects men here, you know None better can be found. And then I saw Miss Christiansen, Accountant of the place. She keeps the records very neat. Not a frown upon her iacel Now you can see what we have done Since graduation day. We've settled down to things at last. We're sure we'll stay that way. We have responsibilities. For success we all do strive. And we'll always have the memories Of the class of forty-fivel We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-five, being of unsound mind and body, hereby establish our last will and testament this twenty-first,day of June in the year of our lord one thousand, nine hundred and forty-tive.

To the sophomore class we leave all our good points which made us stand in so well with all of our teachers because maybe it will help their reputation a little. To the juniors we entrust Miss FitzGerald, and we hope that they will take as good care of her as we did. We, the undersigned, being of unsound mind and body, herewith establish this, our last will and testament, on the day of June 21, 1945.

The band has approximately 45 members who meet for rehearsals every Monday and Thursday. This year the band, with its snappy Drum Major, its majorettes, and its cheerleaders, traveled to the Colt and Barrington games where it helped in leading its team on to victory. They have also showed real school spirit in their playing at the home games. The band is under the guidance of Mr. Frank Berry, who has worked untiringly to perfect it. The officers are: President ....... ....... E DWARD LEVESOUE Secretary ....... ....... H OPE MCWILLIAIMS Treasurer ....... .......,..... E VELYN DUNN CHOIR Something new has been added. Yes, this year, under the supervision of Mr Berry, a religious choir has been formed. The Choir consists of forty girls and meets every Tuesday at 2:30. With Miss Lariviere as accompanist, the choir is greatly improving each week. ORCHESTRA The Burrillville High School Orchestra, under the supervision of Mr. Frank Berry, is composed of four violins, four trumpets, four clarinets, four saxophones, two trombones, one bass horn, two drums and piano. The orchestra rehearses every Wednesday afternoon during the special period and after school until three o'clock. It furnishes music at assembly programs and is now rehearsing for the senior play. Although few in number, the members of the orchestra show great talent and ability in playing. Mr. Berry has given much of his time and effort in making this orchestra what it is. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club was organized this year under the supervision of Mr. Berry. Approximately 150 members meet every Wednesday in the Assembly with Miss Lariviere as accompanist. Preparations are now being made for a spring concert and for graduation. PAGE FORTY-SIX BAND ROW1: J. Boucher, I. Zifclxock, M. Ballou, A. Brown, L. Cornil, V. Lange, K. Hoar, E. Phillips, M. Magner.

Seems as though we have a second Charles Boyer in George Ducharme. The club intends to present a number of other plays later in the year including Madl Madl and His Day off.

THOMAS ECCLESTON RADIO CLUB This year the Senior Class continued the Radio Club, which was formed last year to teach the Seniors the Morse Code. Under the direction of Miss FitzGerald, each morning the class has ten minutes of this code which is dictated to them from a phonograph. As the year goes on they advance into more complicated Morse Code. This club furnishes a good foundation for future Morse Code work to any boy or girl interested. PAGE FORTY-NINE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club was formed the latter part of September, with Mr. Louis Pascoe as adviser. The members of this club meet on Thursdays.

The publication, The Blue and White , appears bi-weekly and includes many articles that interest the student body as well as the boys in the service who formerly attended Burrillville High. As to cartoons and drawings, they have been improved by the help of a mimoescope purchased this year. The club has also inaugurated an exchange column and has been enjoying papers from other schools. The proof readers did a fine job as there were very few complaints about errors this year. Of course, the typists, under the rigid direction of Miss PitzGerald, contributed very much to the general appearance and the good reputation of the publication.

GLADYS FARRELL MISS ELIZABETH FITZ GERALD WRITERS-TO-FIGHTERS CLUB The Writers-to-Fighters Club was organized this year with Miss Doris Gelatt as adviser. It meets on the day The Blue and White is distributed, and its members work busily and efficiently to send the paper out to their former pals of B. H. S. who are now serving Uncle Sam. The Club consists of approximately 30 members who pay weekly dues to cover the expense of postage. This club should be given much credit for the fine work it is doing to keep up the morale of the boys in service. Club officers are: President ................ ............

ADVENTURE IN YOUTH The hit of the season, a three act farce entitled Adventure in Youth, was presented by the Class of 1945 on April eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth at the I-Iarrisville Assembly. The delightful story is about poor Mr. Pembleton, whose daughter Sydna has a fixation on him and is making Mrs. Pembleton jealous. Kirk Fairchild and Richard Pembleton, both amateur physchologists, come to the rescue, and in trying to straighten out affairs cause a riot of misunderstanding. Of course, all ends well and everyone is satisfied. Naturally, Sydna turns her fixation from her father to Kirk. The part of Mr. Pembleton was played by our class wit, Raymond Nolan, and Mrs. Pembleton was portrayed by Norma Piche. Other important cast members included: Sydna Pembleton, a grown up, seventeen year old, Hope McWilliams, Richard Pembleton, the son who goes about phychoanalizing everyone, James LaPorte, Kirk Fairchild, a romantic fellow, Donald Rawson, Lois Fairchild, his fifteen year old sister, Joyce Dunn, Yvonne, a flirtatious, soft hearted maid, Lorraine Mag- nuson, Andre Chenot, her husband and a mad butler, Norman Mainville, Helen Carey, an old flame, and her husband Joe, Barbara Christiansen and George Menard, Angela Eastman, a Hoi Poloi chorus girl, Evelyn Gart- land. The play proved to be an outstanding success, each member of the cast portraying his character in excellent style. This must played before enthusiatic audiences at every performance and received very favorable re- views. Our hats off to the Barrymores and Bernhardts of to-morrow!

B.H.S. 14 GORTON 0 The Broncos of Burrillville High School opened their football season with a hard-fought victory over Gorton, a class B team. All our touchdowns were scored by Bill Gervais, with Lavoie and Gervais adding the extra points. B.H.S. 25 PUTNAM 0 We continued our winning way by easily defeating a very weak Putnam eleven for our second non-league win of the year. Our boys had no difficulty gaining against them and showed great defensive power when it was needed. B.H.S. 13 PAWTUCKET EAST 13 Playing their third non-league game of the season, the Broncos battled a strong Paw- tucket East team to a 13-13 deadlock. Lloyd Foster, who was playing his last game before entering the service, led the attack with his fine running, passing and kicking. G. Menard scored our first touchdown on a pass from Foster, and Lavoie made the other on a short plunge, with Ballou adding the extra point. B.H.S. 32 DE LA SALLE 0 Burrillville opened its league season by overpowering a strong De LaSalle eleven. Our big advantage was Billy Gervais, who scored four of our five touchdowns. All our boys did a fine job, with Burnett, G. Menard, Rawson and Pelletier starring on the defense. B.H S. 39 WARREN 0 We hurdled our second obstacle toward the championship by easily defeating a weak Warren team. So one sided was the game that every member of the squad saw action. Bill Gervais continued as high scorer by scoring two more touchdowns. Dick Smith also scored two, with G. Menard and Ballou adding the others. B.H.S. 13 COLT 6 Playing before the largest crowd of the season, Burrillville downed a strong Colt team. Playing an uphill battle all the first half, we struck back in the second half and scored both our touchdowns. Olney Ballou scored the first touchdown by pouncing on a free ball PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT in the end zone, and Bill Gervais scored the other by plunging over for the score. Gervais also scored the point after on a pass from Smith. Gervais again sparked our attack, with G. Menard and Pelletier starring on the defense. B. H. S. 47 BARRINGTON O Burrillville's high flying Broncos came an- other step closer to the championship by subduing last year's champion, Barrington. Every player who made the trip saw action in this game. Bill Gervais again spearheaded our attack by scoring three more touchdowns, with Lavoie scoring two and G. Menard and Ballou one apiece. G. Menard and Pelletier again starred on the defense, breaking up many plays before they had a chance to get started. B.H.S. 32 NORTH PROVIDENCE 6 Before one of the smallest crowds of the season, we walloped a fair team from North Providence. We got off to a fast start by re- covering three fumbles and turning them into touchdowns. Bill Gervais continued his scoring spree by scoring two of our touchdowns, with G. Menard, Lavoie, and Keefer contributing one apiece. B.H.S. 34 SOUTH KINGSTON 0 In our postponed Thanksgiving Day classic, we defeated a weak South Kingston eleven and brought the Championship back to Burrill- ville. Bill Gervais again led the attack by scoring 27 points, thus clinching the state's high scoring berth. Olney Ballou scored the other touchdown. Again we played a good defensive game with Rawson, Piche, Cahill and Burnett starring on the defense. At the end of the year our boys were well rewarded for their fine work during the season. The team had the best offensive record in the state and was regarded as the best defens- ive team Burrillville ever had. The team scored a total of 249 points during the season and Bill Gervais, by scoring 119, only a few less than the State record of 123, was the state's leading scorer. Our school was also well represented in the All-State game with four boys being selected to play in this game. The boys were G. Menard, Gervais, Burnett, and Pelletier. However, Gervais hurt his ankle in practice and was unable to play. He was substituted by Lavoie, who played a good game. Each one of them played a fine game and each was given high praise for his work in this game. Our boys were well representated on the All-State and All-Suburban teams. Bill Gervais and George Menard were selected on the All-State teams. On the All-Suburban teams we had seven players. They were Gervais, G. Menard, Pelletier, and Cahill on the first team and Smith, A. Menard, and Aubin on the second. At the end of the season a banquet was given to the boys by the townspeople in ap- preciation of the championship. Also, every letterman was given a jacket by the Stillwater Worsted Company of Harrisville. Lettermen for the year were Ballou, A. Menard, G. Menard, Gervais, Rawson, Burnett, Steiner, Piche, Cahill, Aubin, Smith, Dutch, Lavoie, Dupont, Butterworth, Hardman, Keefer, Pelletier, Foster, Doyle, Guilbault, Peck, Nolan, and Boucher.

Burrillville opened its quest for its second State Championship by playing North Prov- idence to a 0-0 deadlock in an exhibition game. The lack of practice showed up greatly and slowed up our attack. We played a good defensive game with G. Menard and Piche doing fine work. We opened our league season by crushing the Central High team, 8-0. All through the game we showed good offensive power as well as good defensive play. G. Menard scored three of our goals, with Rawson and Dutch scoring two each and Gervais and Jahn scoring one apiece. The next night we came back and defeated a stubborn Hope team, 6-2. Pressing the attack from the very beginning, we jumped into an early lead and were never seriously threatened. Bill Gervais spearheaded our attack by scoring three goals, with Ptawson scoring two and George Menard one. Stopped cold throughout the first two per- iods by young Jack Rennard, North Providence goalie, we finally won our third straight league contest by beating an inspired North Prov- idence sextet, 1-0. George Menard scored our only goal when he fired home Don Ptawson's rebound for the score. In a one-sided game, we registered an impressive victory over Classical, 7-O. Held to a lone goal during the first period, we broke loose in the last two periods and made the game into a rout. George Menard led our attack by scoring two goals and assisting on two others. The other goals were divided among Rawson, Gervais, Peck, Dutch and Davis. Playing before one of the largest crowds of the season, we won our fifth straight by beating hitherto undefeated LaSalle, 3-0. We had little difficulty in penetrating their defense and crushed their attack to nothing. George Menard again paved the way for our victory by scoring two goals. Ray Dutch scored our goal on an assist by Menard. A stubborn Mount Pleasant team, that put up one of its best performances of the year, gave the Broncos many uncomfortable moments but were finally subdued, 4-2. Mount Pleasant went into a 2-0 lead in the first period, but we tied it up in the second period on goals by Ray Dutch. In the last period Gervais and Rawson both tallied and gave us a hard earned victory. PAGE SIXTY We hurdled another major opponent by beating East Providence by a score of 3-1. We scored our first two goals in the first period and ended it in the second. Gervais scored :nur first goal, assisted by Dutch, and George Menard scored the second on assist by Bobby Jahn and .lack Keefer. Rawson ended our scoring by rifling a hard shot into the nets on a pass from Gervais. Playing before a packed house of nearly 5,000 fans, Burrillville went down to defeat at the hands of Mount St. Charles by a score of 6-4. Both teams played hard, clean hockey and not a penalty was called in the whole game. George Menard again led our attack by scoring three goals unassisted. Ray Dutch scored the other assisted by Rawson, who also assisted on one of Menards. We came back the next night and soundly trounced Cranston, 8-1. So one sided was the game that every player saw action in the game. George Menard and Bill Gervais with three goals each, Bob Jahn with two goals, Don Rawson with two assists, and Ray Dutch and Ray Nolan with one assist accounted for our scoring. In preparation for the forthcoming playoff series we traveled to Pomfret, where we played and defeated Pomfret Academy, 3-1. Our goals were scored by Bobby Jahn, Bill Gervais and George Menard. Don Rawson got two assists and George Menard one. In the first playoff game we again met defeat at the hands of Mount St. Charles by not a score of 6-2. Although the score does show it, the game was evenly played for the behind in the first period and a half. Falling first period, we rallied in the second to tie for the score, only to see Mount go ahead good. Ray Dutch scored our first goal on passes from Rawson and Gervais. Gervais sco- red the second on a pass from Menard. series to three Determined to prolong the games, we went into the second game with plenty of confidence, only to lose in overtime, 6-5. Our boys really played their finest game of the season and deserved all the credit they received. It was a tough game to lose. We were ahead with eight seconds left to play, in overtime. Bill Gervais scored two of our goals with Rawson, Dutch, and Menard also scoring. In the consolation series we were mat- ched against East Providence. We were hand- icapped by lack of practice and therefore didn't show our usual form. George Menard scored our first goal on one of his long shots. Rawson scored the second on a pass from Gervais, who in turn scored on a pass from Menard. PAGE Unable to hit our usual stride, we fell victim to a spirited East Providence team, 4-2. Due to this we had to be content with a third place tie in the final standings. East Providence got three goals in the first period, but we threatened to tie the score in the second period, only to fall short and then see them score one more. Our goals were scored by Dutch and Menard, with Bill Gervais assisting on both. At the end of the regular season our boys received a great honor by being picked to play against Mount St. Charles in a benefit game, all proceeds of which would go to the Red Cross. The game was scoreless for the first period and a half, but then Mount scored its first goal and got two more in the last period. At the end of the season the townspeople showed their interest in the team by taking the whole squad to the hockey game between Mount Si. Charles and Catholic High of Mon- treal, Canada. After this the boys were treated to their supper at Oates' Tavern in North Providence. At the end of well represented on by the Providence socket Call. George the year our boys were the All-State Teams picked Journal and The Woon- Menard and Arnold Piche were chosen for the first team at defense and goal respectively. Donald Rawson and Bill Gervais were chosen for the second at wing and center. Lettermen for the year were Captain George Menard, Rawson, Gervais, Dutch, Piche, Peck, Jahn, Keefer, Nolan, LaPorte, Lavoie, Dupont, Davis and Steiner.

Veterans returning are Captain George Menard, Ray Nolan, Norm Mainville, Jack Doyle, Dick Smith, Bill Gervais, Ray Dutch, and Don Rawson. Among the newcomers who show promise are Tom Dupont, Charles Burnett, Roland Morin, Kenneth Mor- rison and George Ducharme. We started our season by splitting a home- and-home series with Northbridge. We lost the first game at home 8-4 but defeated them at Northbridge 11-9 in 10 innings. We opened our league season by beating Coventry 5-2 at Coventry. Norm Mainville pitched this game and did a tine job for his first game of the year. Showing great hitting power we easily defeated Cumberland, 12-0. Our pitchers put in a great performance against them and al- lowed them but 1 hit. In a very close game we defeated North Providence, 6-5. Our boys showed good spirit by coming from behind to win in the las inning.

Because of traveling conditions games with the other schools could not be arranged, so two teams-Harvard and Yale-were formed. Lorraine Magnuson and Loretta Rondeau were respective captains ot the Harvard and Yale teams. Practice was held tour nights a week, the two teams alternating. At the end oi the season the girls had a Vic party in the cafeteria followed by dancing in the auditorium. ROW1f Miss Cassidy, D. Bernard, S. Keleher, C. Theroux, B. Gingell, L. Magnuson, T.
