Class Ode Sustain us, Alma Mater, through all the years ahead Up the familiar pathways whereon we have been led. Our goal is known and settled, our eyes are on the peak, The heights we see and long for may we not cease to seek. Keep us, O Alma Mater, from pitfalls and false ways, Bind our hearts fast to virtue with wisdom's saving rays. May we for our high purpose the toilsome climb endure And with steadfast devotion our triumph make secure. Help us, O Alma Mater, to share the good we've gained With those who dwell in darkness, whose hope and faith hav May we be strong to strengthen God's purpose everywhere, And ne'er forsake our effort, to seek, secure, and share. e waned

3111 illlrmnriam In loving memory of our classmate, Paul Edmund Gervais, we, the Chelmsford High School Class of 1947, dedicate this page of our Year Book. Paul was an active member of our class, devoted to all our interests, and a tireless worker in inconspicuous positions. He sought no acknowledgment and consistently avoided the limelight. In school he was a serious minded and thorough pupil, and as manager of the football team, he served in his usual faithful, conscientious manner. Outside of school he devoted much of his time to 4fH work, and he had an unusual number of awards for his achievements. Whzitever he did was well done, with a. smile and a pleasantness that were unfailing. Paul's going was not like the sudden blinking out of a bright light that glares in a small spot and casts heavy shadows, but rather it was like the fading of a soft and luminous glow that radiates into each remote corner. Only gradually have we realized the loss of the warmth and glow of his personality, and the memory of his quiet cheer' fulness grows in vividness. With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair lt needs must be, since he lingers there.
