Although graduation seems to be the completion of an era, actually it is the beginning. For some, it means becoming a part of the business world; for others, college is the ultimate goal. Whatever our purpose, we have begun to take our place in the adult world. We hope that this book will re-awaken dormant memories and provide a vivid reminder of high school years — one that will be remembered forever. edccatcoK S(mho i We, the senior class of 1954, take great pride in dedicating “The Chief” to Miss Eleanor Emery. Through our years at Joseph Case High School, she has been very patient and understanding with all our problems. Along with her job as teacher, she is the school treas¬ urer, and has given considerable attention to all class accounts. Miss Emery has started many students on successful business careers with her careful instruction in the various commercial subjects. As we leave our high school life behind, we wish to express our appreciation to you. Miss Emery, for the helpful start which you have given us. JOSEPH CASE HIGH SCHOOL The students of the Joseph Ca.se High School will long remember Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens. It was Mrs. Stevens who made it possible for us to attend this school. She gave to the citizens of this town, the school building, equipment, and furnishings in memory of her father, Mr. Joseph Case. Her gift was unconditional with the exception that it be named Joseph Case High School. Work was started on the school in June 1926. At the cornerstone ceremony on September 13, 1926, officials placed in the cornerstone a copper box containing papers and books relating to the building, town, and donor. The building was dedicated on September 1, 1927. In the fall of 1927, the school was ready for use. The first class graduated in 1930. It was decided in 1951 to build a new junior high school which would be attached to the present senior high school. The school was finished and ready for use in the fall of 1952 by students of both the junior and senior high schools. We are thankful to both Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens and the citizens of this town for making these educational opportunities available to us.

I would arouse you to an awareness of your richest possession your youth (and all it implies), and I would caution you to guard that youth with all your strength that you might never lose it. Than youth there is no finer thing in all the world. It is human nature at its highest potential¬ ity, untouched by the corroding influence of time. It is your young heart s that bring a new vision, a new strength, and a hope as yet undimmed unto the solution of humanity’s problems. It is the contemplation of youth that gives substance to all our dreams, and I am convinced that no labor can prove quite in vain, no sacrifice futile as long as there are young people. The truths that we who are older glimpse so darkly, your minds understand; where we falter, your hearts are bold; what we attempt so fumblingly, your hands are deft to accomplish. No man rejoices at finding his youth slipping away from him, and great deeds have not been accomplished save by those who have never lost its magic touch. The years that come when youth has passed are the years of affliction, of which the verdict must always be, “They please me not.” Your youth has manv engaging qualities, hut two there are that stand forth, and seem to e of its very definition. These are faith and courage. It is your way to believe, to trust, to have confidence. That things may not be what they seem does not enter into your calculations, lo you life beckons, revealing the vision of her opulence. Faith colors your relations ■with others. You do not put yourself on the defensive. You accept people on their face value. To you every human being is a potential friend. Being without guile yourselves, you do not look for it in others. Most important of all, you believe in yourself. You feel equal to your dreams and are not deterred by any sense of personal limitation. Whatever may be demanded of you you feel sure that you can give. herever the enemy may lurk, you do not expect to find him in your own soul. Of faith is born courage. There is a splendid daring about you in your you th that inspires you to cut straight through to the heart of any difficulty. If a thing ought to be done, it can be done, reads your philosophy. Now this is the saddest thing about life, as the years go on you may lose both your faith and your courage, and losing these you lose your youth. It is not the piling up of years that makes people old; it is disillusionment, the experience of misplaced trust. With faith goes courage. Facing the problems of existence, deplete of faith and courage, your hearts may quail within you and you begin to grow afraid in the way. Caution displaces daring, action yields to reaction, conquest to conservation. Then it is that “fear comes upon you,” and you labor feverishly to dig yourselves, to surround yourselves with the trench of routine and your lives become standardized and what, after all, is standardization but the pitiful salvaging of the spoils of earlier victories, won ere faith and courage had departed. You may now ask yourself, must things happen thus? Must faith bow to disillusion, and courage degenerate into cowardice? Is youth forever doomed to die? My answer to you is. Youth need never die if only you capture its spirit. The record of the deeds of the great ones of tie human race demonstrate that it is possible to advance in age without growing old, without faith and courage. They made their dreams come true, because neither length, nor breadth, nor height, nor depth could sparate them from their ideals nor weaken their high reso ve. ley never ceased being young nor did the years come to them of which they said. They please me not. These things you too may do if you will but hold fast to the vir es of youth, without suc¬ cumbing to its vices. For like all fair things under the sun, youth has its blemishes. The sin of youth is folly, the spawn of inexperience, which causes faith to degenerate into gu i i ity, and turns courage into bravado. Folly is impetuous, self-willed, intolerant of direction. It will lead you to squander your choicest gifts, and to put your faith in error and not in trut . le tangible and the material are the norms of the values of folly. Immediate results an t e materia rewards are its gods. Now, boys and girls, through your education you are the heirs to the experience and the wisdom of the ages. You are not asked to begin at the beginning and to fight battles already won. Rather it is for you to set forth to further victories, and so my prayer for you at this time is that you may never know the time of affliction nor behold the years drawing near of which you shall say, ley please me not,” that faith and courage may always be your portion and that your youth may never Affectionately yours.

The class of ’54 first entered Case High School as naive freshmen, much bewildered by the bustle of independent activity created by the upperclassmen. We marveled at their suaveness, but gradually, we found that we ourselves had acquired this same sophistication. Our class began to work together—sponsoring dances, joining clubs, and supporting school activities. More and more often, our names appeared on the honor roll, in music concerts, and athletic events. During our four years at Case, we have grown both physically and mentally. Though our original number has dwindled, a bond of friendship has been formed which will never be ended. 50-51 51-52 52-53 53-54 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Arthur Kenyon Eleanor Olson Betsey Gray Dorothy Greenman Lydia Moniz Eleanor Olson Ursula Dittami Annie Thurston Gerald Morin Eleanor Olson Ursula Dittami Annie Thurston Annie Thurston Dorothy Greenman Ursula Dittami Sandra Pickens Class Advisor MR.

This year Annie Thurston was chosen, jointly by the students and faculty, for her qualities of leadership, patriotism, and service. Annie, an all-round student, active in many extra-curricular activities, has been a valuable asset to both the class of ’54 and to Case High School. The class wishes you much luck, success, and happiness, Annie, in everything that you may attempt. The Harvard Book, presented to a Junior boy, capable in leadership and display¬ ing unusual character, has been an annual feature at Case High School. The book, awarded this year to Dana Plante, is offered by the Harvard Club of Fall River, and is presented at the graduation ceremonies in June. Dana, an outstanding, intelligent, and all-around member of the Class of ’55, must be considered a true leader and a patriotic citizen, worthy of this honor. The entire school—both students and faculty—extend congratulations and best of everything to you, Dana! Good Government Day is a state wide feature in which students from secondary schools throughout Massachusetts have an opportunity to operate the state government for one day. This year, Mr. Madden’s Problems of Democracy classes chose Kenneth Bangert to represent Swansea on March 12, 1954. Ken held the position of chairman of In¬ dustrial Accidents. An all around student, Ken played both varsity football and baseball. He was also an active member of the boys’ chorus. The class of ’54 wishes Ken Bangert every success in the future. Dear Ursula, It was certainly a great honor and privilege to spend our senior year with you. It is very difficult to adjust oneself to a new country, town, and school, but, with your striking personality and your willing attitude, you have succeeded with honor. Your many new experiences, including classes, student council, driver training, and various other activities, illustrate a little of our American way of life. We hope that when you return to your native country, Saarbrucken, Saarland, you will remember the many enjoyable days spent with us. We wish you much luck and happiness, Ursula!

Their 5-3 record was the best since 1948. To recap the season, we will go back to their first outing which was against Oliver Ames. The Case gridders started strong and their 20-13 victory showed us what was in store for the remainder of the season. At Dartmouth Memorial Stadium, Case went down before a powerful Dartmouth eleven. It was a hard-fought defensive battle that won’t be forgotten by the many who witnessed it. The loss of Case’s center because of illness may have decided the outcome which favored Dartmouth 6-0. The Cardinals’ first home game of the season was against Franklin High, which had a squad big in both number and size. Case played good defensive ball holding Franklin to seven points while scoring twelve. Weakened by the loss of two outstanding pla yers, the Cardinals managed to score on an intercepted pass, but missed the point which spelled their second defeat of the year. Yarmouth, 7; Case, 6. Cohasset was no match for the Cardinal ball club. Case ran up its highest score of the season, 45-6, with the second string in action most of the game. Traveling to Mansfield, the Case gridders surprised everyone by upsetting the Hornets, 12-6. After a week’s rest. Case played host to a high-spirited Dighton team. Case fans were happy to see Dighton trounced 34-0. The big game facing the Cardinals on Thanksgiving Day was the Somerset tilt. From the kick-off to the last seconds of play, the battle was hard fought, but Somerset proved to be the better team, dropping the Case eleven 27-7, Two weeks after the close of the season, the All-Narry players were chosen. Eight players from Case were named. First string: A1 Gadbois, halfback; Bob Silvestre, tackle; second string: John Pysz, center; Kenneth Gray, reserve backfield; Frank Kenworthy, end; Arthur Kenyon, reserve lineman. Honorable Mention: Ken Bangert and John Freitas. At a special assembly, A1 Gadbois was awarded the American Legion Trophy for ability in athletics and scholarship.

Under the careful and conscientious instruction of Coach Cassidy and Coach Madden, the boys have developed both in¬ dividually and as a team. The Case Cardinals have grown steadily and, in future years, will be known as a championship team. All those who have contributed to the success of the ’54 team—Coach Cassidy, Coach Madden, and the players—should be highly complimented.

With most of the ’53 squad back and with a new and enthusiastic leader. Coach William Madden, the record was strengthened. CASE CARDINALS — 1954 COACH JAMES CASSIDY Coach James Cassidy paved the way for future success with his sincere coaching efforts this year. He has already lifted the name of the Case Cardinals and Case High School to higher levels. After a successful season as head-coach of football, he brought the Case basketball team their share of victories. The football and basketball teams have a fine coach and Case High has a strong leader. Good luck to the future teams and to Coach Cassidy! COACH WILLIAM MADDEN As assistant coach in football this year, Coach William Madden con¬ tributed his part to the success of the team. Coach Madden was also the head coach of J. V. basketball for his first season. His basketball squad showed marked improvement with each game and we are sure with the careful coaching of Mr. Madden that his future teams will be successful. As head coach of baseball for the first time. Coach Madden was a fine leader and devoted all of his time to the success of the team. Good luck to Coach William Madden and his future teams! COACH NORMA RIZY With the expert and conscientious coaching of Miss Norma Rizy, both the 53 basketball and track teams won the local championships. Her ’53 basketball team won the Greater Fall River Championship and the girls were winners of the Annual Narry League Track Meet. The Varsity team found itself in the winning column at the beginning of the 54 season. For this, the girls would like to extend many thanks to Miss Rizy, for her skillful coaching and, also, for the many hours she has forfeited in order to make it a victorious year. Luck and success with all future teams goes to Miss Rizy, an outstanding leader and coach. URSULA DITTAMl HEAD CHEERLEADERS HELEN McKENNEY CAMILLA FISKE CLARA PETERS ANNIE THURSTON r nil 11 ' ' ■ 7.

This record was finally broken at the annual playday held at Somerset where New Bedford defeated Case, 32-31, in a colorful and high-spirited game giving New Bedford the championship for the Greater Fall River-New Bedford League. This year’s team has attempted to uphold previous records and following a very successful season, made an outstanding appearance at the Annual Playday. 1954 Case_ _35 Case_ _29 Case_ _44 Case_ _37 Case_ _30 Case.- — . _34 Case - — . _47 Case_ Case Case_ Case_ Alnmiini _31 Somerset .. .. _46 Dighton _ _26 Dominican .. _22 Bristol _ ..-...22 Diirfee 14 Bristol _ _33 Dighton _ Somerset _ Dominican ..

FIELD EVENTS Dorothy Greenman Sandra Bell Lorraine Durand Janice Chace Judy Jaekson Annie Thurston RUNNING EVENTS Lorraine Durand Susan Beynon Hope Jacobson Dot Greenman Sandra Pickens Barbara Grello The 1953 Girls’ Track Team of Case proved, without a doubt, to be one of the greatest teams ever to enter the Narry Track Competition. Beside the fact that the girls took first place in every event, they broke four old records and tied the fifth. The team was inspired by the great sportsmanship and ability shown by Dot Greenman who set the record in the fifty-yard dash and tied the high jump record. The future track teams will undoubtedly miss the outstanding ability of Paula Deubel who graduated in 1953. Paula broke the softball and broad jump records. Both Paula and Dot were also runners on our relay team. The scoring was as follows: Event Name Points BROAD JUMP _Paula Deubel—1st (14’ 19”) _ 5 HIGH JUMP _Dot Greenman—1st (4’ 7”) _ 5 SOFTBALL THROW _Paula Deubel—1st (201’ 11”) _ 5 SOFTBALL THROW _Judy Jackson—3rd _ 2 FIFTY-YARD DASH _Dot Greenman—1st (6.9 seconds) _ 5 FIFTY-YARD DASH _Hope Jacobson—3rd (tied) _ 1M 880 RELAY TEAM _Track Team—1st (2.06 minutes) _ 5 28M Here’s hoping that the 1954 team will have as much fun and do as well as the team of 1953. 4«uUe For the second consecutive year, the student body of Case High School elected a football queen on the basis of personality, enthusiasm in school activ¬ ities, and leadership. The football queen chosen for the 1953-54 season was Annie Thurston. The Gridiron Ball, held on October 24, 1953, was the setting for the corona¬ tion. Annie’s crown consisted of maroon and gold chrysanthemums. To you, Annie Thurston, the class of ’54 extends congratulations, success, and happiness through the coming years. 2,uee«i €UtcC MR.
