CURT Ph.B.CSc-Edl as a manifestation of respect and appreciation, we, the class of 1952, affectionately dedicate this book to one who has been so potent a factor in the development of our education. IEIDIICEATVIIC ' TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF DIMAN: Again it is my happy privilege to congratulate a graduating class at Diman Vocational High School. To you, I offer my heartiest best wishes and my sin- cerest congratulations. The particular nature of your high school training provides very special benefits which as you grow older, you will appreciate more and more. As our society becomes more complex and specialized, individuals in it become in- creasingly removed from the possibility of expressing themselves through phy- ical skills and talents. The young man with a trade, therefore, occupies a par- ticular happy spot, for he is one of the few who can express himself directly and creatively. Today the special concern of our nation for its defense and for its standard of living provides endless opportunities to the young man or young woman of skill and ambition. Just as important as the satisfaction of being able to find an honest and useful occupation in our community is the great inner satisfaction which can come from the knowledge of work well done. Besides, in your scientific and tech- nical training, you have been taught the values of good citizenship and high character. The two together should serve as the basis for a happy, fulfilled life. The lessons you have learned at Diman have given you skill of craft, faith in democracy, and confidence in God. Now it remains for you to apply these lessons. We are certain that you will and that as a result, the Diman Vocational High school will ever be proud of the Class of 1952. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM S. LYNCH Superintendent of Schools f . Dl'RE.CTOR'S MESSAGE Graduation from High School to most of you means the end of your formal education. However, for the ambitious, the opportunities for advancement and additional education are unlimited. It is our hope that the training and counsel- ing you received while at Diman Vocational High School will, in a great measure, assist you in the formation of values that regulate the living and working of men together which is necessary from the standpoint of both the general social welfare and the full development of human beings as individuals. Graduation is also a time for congratulations and best wishes. I am most happy to add mine to the many you are receiving at this time. Sincerely yours, JOSEPH P. GILLIGAN ASSISTANT DIRECTORS MESSAGE To the graduates of 1952: We know the habits and attitudes you acquired at Diman will lead you to work cooperatively and happily with others in your chosen field of vocational work and that you will be able to adjust yourselves to varying requirements. Work experience is a natural approach to adult living as well as giving expression to youthful energy. It is my sincere wish that you will be most successful in your chosen field of endeavor and that you will always remember your alma mater. Sincerely yours CHARLES E.

To give you, gentle readers, an insight into the four years which we, the Class of 1952, have spent upon the good ship 'Diman'g to give you a glimpse of our life upon the broad river of knowledge in search of 'The Springs of Success'g to picture to you the eddies, whirpools, and rocky reefs towards which we have frequently been lured by the song of the siren only to steer away and seek the broad and open stream, to give to you some ideas of the agonies which we have suffered when our intellects be- came parched with their thirst for wisdom, and also to disclose to you the many pleas- ures and enjoyments which were used as oil to still the troubled waters surging around us, I shall unfold the story of those eventful days, gleaning my story from the log of the good ship which has borne us in safety to our destination. We lost no time in setting sail upon our cruise. Our vessel, like all Gaul, was divided into three parts, Academic, Shop, and extra-curriculum. It carried a motley throng of some one-hundred odd passengers gathered mostly from all parts of our native Fall River, but containing a few who came from the tall timbers of Swansea, Westport, and Tiverton and were willing to admit it. Aboard our ship were two pilots, Mr. Joseph P. Gilligan and Mr. Charles E. Matte, both equally skilful at the helm and each alert to the needs of our 'boot trainingi Mr. Gilligan having sailed before the mast for many years, insisted that the two most dan- gerous points upon our journey, or anywhere upon the sea of life, were the 'Haven of Laziness' and the 'Whirlpools of Indifferencei He firmly maintained that a successful voyage could only be accomplished by hard work and then more work. Those of us who mutinied under his firm, but considerate orders, soon learned that he was right. Mr. Matte, likewise had had some lengthy experience and quickly taught us that a well-disciplined ship always maintains its true course. A meeting of the passengers was called at which we decided to choose a Presi- dent. Lewis Constance was unanimously elected. Having been out of port for about a year, we were now well versed in the ways of a 'swabby' on the deck of the S. S. DIMAN. In June, of that following year we 'lay to' in the little town of Rest, until we could resume our journey on the following September. It was here that some members of the Cruise strolled too far from port and were among the missing when we re-embarked for points North. Sophomore year found us reassembled for our cruise on September 6th. Our ship had been overhauled and now consisted of a new gym as well as our main deck. Many of our companions of the first leg of our journey were conspicuous by their absence. Among these were Ed. Chicca, Bob Cusick, A1 Mendes, Harry Thomp- son, Jim McMurray, Jim Cyr, Nelson Shea, and a few others who had strolled so far away that we can get little account of them unless through service records. We gathered together for a re-election of officers, George Lelievre being chosen president of the Class. Coach Charles O'Keefe, first mate extraordinary, now appear- ed upon the new deck to teach us the ways and wherefores of a sound supplementary Physical Training, so helpful in the full development of a good citizen. It is needless to mention the accredited accomplishment of our noble crew when we recall that First Mate O'Keefe's efficient coaching brought aboard the coveted Eastern Mass. Class C. Basketball Championship, as well as the Narry League Em- blem of Leadershipg both trophies now on display in the Main Cabin on deck A. , Shore leave was granted to all hands that we might celebrate our greatest deed for Diman and we basked in the sunshine of prominence because of our victorious record, for many days to follow. At the Victory banquet in the Eagle restaurant, we were showered with heroic praises and the gifts of an appreciative citizenry. Nor was the social side of our development by any means neglected. A series of enjoyable assemblies tended to give surcease from the steady drill of school-life. It is worthy of note at this time to mention the progress in social niceties displayed on the dance floor of our classy gym deck, by so many of our bashful brothers. Many a wall flower crewman became a dancing fool at the insistence of the more sophisticated hoofers of our worthy gang. About the middle of June, we slowly steamed into the harbor of Repose, dropped our anchors, and scattered abroad to come together the following September and take up the third stage of our journey. Junior year discovered many more vacant chairs at our table when we first ap- peared for lunch after resuming our journey on Sept. 7. Pickering, Lord, Vanesse, Lowery and Dagais had been enchanted by the call to arms and had decided to sign up for the next few years. Some, and one in particular, had been felled by the darts of Cupid as they wandered about the by-ways of Boston after enjoying a 'Peach of a time'. Because of his estimable character and superior scholarship, as well as out- standing Basketball prowess, George Lelievre was re-elected our class President. He immediately planned and accomplished a series of happy events for the hearty mem- bers of his crew. The social event of the Junior season was held in February. Need- less to say, in 'brilliancy and numbers, our 'Junior Hop' set a standard to which our successors can look for many a year to come. Basketball accomplishments were by no means as successful as we had hoped for, but we fought a good fight and landed in the top finishers. One bright light, however, was the world record batting feat of 'Stanley Szelag, featured by Ripley in his famous column. On the first of June we heard some mention of a year-book and a committee of seven was appointed to look into the feasibility of the matter. Utterly fatigued by our exertions, we dropped our anchors, and sought once more the comforts and enjoyments of vacation. Once underway on the final leg of our cruise, Senior, we found there was no rest for the weary as the goal was in sight. Compilation of the Year Book was the first important item on the agenda. This was followed in rapid succession by a series of dances, football games and the usual Basketball parties. Graduation came with its thrill of diplomas won, and the knowledge of satisfaction and happiness for our beloved parents and friends. Last, but not least, the close of our four years so- journ, the Senior Prom. The 'Springs of Success' so long sought by us are now within our grasp. Cer- tainly the burdens for striving for our port were lessened by the helping hand of Mr. Curt, to whom we owe so much. It was he who guided us with keen eye, in times of stress, through the filmy veil that might have separated us from a happy future. In like manner, during our four strenuous and uninterrupted years of study and play, we have ever been conscious of the paternal guidance and brotherly comradeship of our teachers. We cannot fully recall the innumerable instances when they directed our stumbling footsteps, or when they shared our praise and censure. We do hope in future years, by noble ideas and manly character, to reflect some credit upon the gen- erous and untiring efforts they lavished upon us. In that way alone, can the crew of 1952 sufficiently express its thankfulness and appreciation. George Lelievre William King CLASS PROPHECY Twenty years have come and gone. The world has plunged forward through many revolutions since the happy graduation day in 1952. It seems incredible, even as a mat- ter of History. The past has been more wonderful than any oracle would have dared to depict. These were my reflections as I gazed down upon my beloved Alma Mater, Di- man Vocational High School, from the blue and cloudless heavens over my native city, Fall River. I had planned this, my first visit home in two decades, by air, as a surcease from my labors in Oak Ridge, Tenn., where I had finally completed my World-anni- hilating Bomb as a threat to all aggressors of my native land. Likewise, as a loyal son of 1952, I felt it my incumbent duty to greet and con- gratulate my former classmates, now in happy reunion at the Vocational School 'on the banks of the old Quequechani Brushing aside the autograph seekers and news photographers assembled at the big F. R. airport, I entered my assigned government car and waved a gesture of thanks to my police escort. As was my custom, I suggested a brief stop at City Hall in order to pay my respects to the Chief Executive, His Honor the Mayor, whoever he might be. Dismissing my escort, I quickly mounted the steps to the entrance. The sweet music of the old belfry chimes that ushered in my arrival, quickened my pulse. I now knew what it was like to be known as a 'big wheel' to my fellow-citizens. What a surprise awaited me! His Honor was none other than my smiling class- mate, Ed Lafleur, now in his fifth term as First Citizen of his illustrious city. Need- less to say, I was overwhelmed by his address of welcome, particularly when he con- fided to me, aside, that he had finally learned to spell 'bananas'. Politely refusing any further attempts at formality, Mayor Ed, and myself ex- plained our desire to enjoy, once again, the scenes of our happy school days, by non- chalantly strolling down Hartwell St., to the place of our reception and banquet, the Diman Gym. At Fifth St., we paused momentarily to reflect upon that historic spot where the beloved Poet Longfellow had been inspired to immortalize the first American explorer, 'The Skeleton in Armor'. From afar, we could hear the deep religious note of the silvery bell in old St. Mary's, as it ushered in the evening angelus. As we approached the entrance to the school, we were shockingly startled by the mad rush of two adults stopping abruptly in front of us, both out of breath. They proved to be classmates Jim Toolin and Dick Berube, rushing to the reunion in like manner as in school days-always late. Across the street, surrounded by a bevy of rustic beauties from 'over the river', we watched a beau-brummel wax and groom his hirsute moustache. Without further strain on our memories, we suddenly recognized that notorious entertainer of femi- nine pulchritude, Leo Ccookie-dusterj Duquette, enjoying his favorite pastime. Now we were greeted by a number of classmates including Bill King and Gerry Buchanan, manufacturers and distributors of Colonial Furniture De Luxe, to a select clientele. We exchanged greetings with Capt. Andy Lusignan, now engaged in teach- ing Texas-bound recruits how to pronounce 'you-all', and with John Serba, Fall River's leading interior decorator. We were delighted to renew memories with Stan Szelag and Frank Mello as they modestly related their conquests in big-league baseball. Stan pitched the Braves to their recent championship, while Frank succeeded Walter Dropo at first base, some few seasons ago. Meandering down the lane to the old gym, we were amazed at the exquisite dis- play of multicolored lights and ,school banners intermingled with bunting around the interior walls and ceiling. Advancing with his wonted dignity, was our distinguished class president, Capt. George Lelievre, now Chief draftsman in the Pentagon at Wash., D. C. Without re- vealing any of the top-flight secrets of National Defense, he intimated that science had advanced with such gigantic strides that this horizon of knowledge was immeasurable. His only regret on this happy occasion, he explained, was the deep personal con- cern for the immediate welfare of our two classmates Don Lavoie and Al Pimental. Don was absent, he said, because he had been called before the Supreme Court in Bos- tong it being alleged that he had promoted the sale of Andy Michaluk's NON- IGNITIBLE COLLARS to the local fire dept., at a recent muster. The case is now in the hands of the jury. A1's absence was explained by a sudden decision on his part to take his beloved J oanie on a gondola ride down the lovely Quequechan. No one knows the loveliness of moonlight till he beholds it on that Queen of Waters Al had confided to George at dusk. Joanie does so enjoy the sight of stately stepping clouds marching to the music of the upper winds and the fragrance of every wild-flower along the river banks . Un- der these circumstances, his return was unpredictable. Now we shake hands with Lieut. Roger Lavoie of the Army Tank Corps and the other Roger of drafting days, who is on the staff of the Patents Office in Wash., D. C. Continuing our rounds, we greet Paul Roy, with his accustomed smile and genial greet- ing. With a pardonable pride he told us of his success as Pres., Treas., Salesman and Chief Mechanic in the HESITATING AUTO CO., of East Freetown. We noted among these present, in great glee, Bob ibachelorb Dean, Fred Louro, George Jasmin, Bill Dupere, Art Ferris and Norman Berube. Bob has founded an Aca- demy for young ladies between the ages of 14 and 16. In honor of Mrs. Dean and the five little Deans in his family, he has called it UPANDEMONIUM HALL . Fred Louro explained that he had spent much time in travel during the past twenty years. He is employed as Ticket Collector on the Merry-go-round at Lincoln Park. On his night off, he collects tickets in the dance hall between dances. George Jasmin has made his pile as Pres. of the Just As Good Perfume Co., of Swansea. Bill Dupere, now a member of the Legislature, has recently introduced a bill regulating the size of 'Schooners'. Art Ferris has signed for bed and board on a slow boat to China. Mostly bed , he said. Norman Berube has invited us to pay a visit to the Monte Carlo Casino, where he is the proprietor. As we gazed about, we espied Dick Morrissette astride the Parallel Bars teaching George Tonelli, now Principal of the Diman Girls' School, the art of operating a six- jet Cargo plane. Gerry Buchanan spoke of his happy employment as Coach of the Chess, Checkers, and Ping Pong Teams at Durfee High School. Wandering near the head banquet table, being readied by Miss Lavender and her efficient Ccash onlyj ticket sellers, We spotted the towering figure of John Midura in his de-elevated shoes. He was listening in rapt attention to his pal, John Howarth, who warned him not to use his knife when eating peas, but rather his fork. Well, I'l1'be darned , replied Big John, I always thought that forks was only used to clean barns with. Both are partners in the renowned Perfumed Fertilizer Co. of Rusty Gate, Iowa. In the center of the gym floor we listened with much pleasure to our old cronies Romeo Potvin and Dick Boler as they demonstrated their advanced showing of the latest in Paints and Wallpapers. Nothing like a little business mixed with pleasure , they explained. The Banquet was, to say the least, out of this world. Fred Louro asked for a sec- ond helping of the delicious home-made hash. Upon gulping it down, he seemed ut- terly disappointed. Asked why, he moaned: Tastes like a return engagement of the famous Hungarian Goulash in my Senior Year at Diman. The post-prandial exercises were brief by agreement. Worthy of note, however, was the lively debate between Jim Toolin and Tish Lavoie on the virtues of endowing a new home for Indigent Custodians. Sounds like a Mexican duel to me, shouted Big John. Now the festivities are over as we opened the flood-gates of our voices in a song to our Alma Mater. With a hasty adieu to all, we wend our way up Hartwell St., alone in our thoughts. As I gazed skyward, the vast Vaults of the purple night enthralled me with their splendor. The stars were burning brightly in the clear sky. This had indeed been a tribute to Diman by the Class of 1952g our Alma Mater, Mother of useful men . George Lelievre Lewis Constance Albert Pimental CLASS WILL WE, the illustrious members of the Class of 1952 of D. V. H. S., having now reach- ed the FINIS of our Vocational Careers, sound in body and mind, in the year of Our Lord 1952, and having widened the sphere of our knowledge and attained the objectives of our intense desires in this noble school, do hereby MAKE and PUBLISH this, our last will and testament, revoking all others made by us.

To William King: An admonition that he stop growing in the middle so that he can start growing at both ends once again. To Robert Lavoie: An explanation as to why Al. Pimenta1's quivering mustache does not resemble a man who swallowed a St. Bernard dog and left its tail hanging out.

Although its record of five wins, two ties and one loss was not as good as last year, the team did receive the approval of the BOSTON GLOBE sports writer Ernie Dalton as the champion school- boy soccer team of Eastern Massachusetts because of its fine record. Twenty-two candidates reported for practice on the opening day of school and seventeen of these were kept on the squad for the season. Although the players as a whole were small in size and the team was short in capable reserves, the players more than made up for their lack of size by their hustle and determination to do their best. It was this fine spirit of hustle and determination that carried them through their last seven games without defeat, after losing a heart breaking two to one decision against a strong New Bedford High team. Diman later avenged this loss in a game at New Bedford by a score of five to two. Co-Captains Norm Casey and Donald Dupere along with Fred Louro, Everett Cabral and Albert Ferreira were outstanding. Casey led all scorers with nine goals. The highlight of the season was the two to one victory over Medford High School which annually has one of the finest teams in the state.

Under the watchful and guiding eyes of Coaches Charles C. O'Keefe and Edward P. Sandomierski, the boys worked long and arduously to whip themselves into condition for a banner football year. Although the campaign was not as fruitful as in the past years, the players can well be proud of their recordg for what was lacking in experienced material was surpassed by a green but game team, boasting both courage and determination, Since Coach O'Keefe built the nucleus of his team around such veterans as, George Jasmin, Edward Fernandes and Thomas McDermott, he was able to develop many inexperienced players into aggressiveness among the undergraduates who prom- ise more potent football teams at Diman in the not too distant future. We feel confident that the experience gained on the gridiron field of battle will immeasurbly aid the graduating members of the football team to withstand the trials and tribulations of a chaotic world into which they are setting forth. DIMAN DIGHTON 48 DIMAN COUNTRY DAY 7 DIMAN CASE 1 3 DIMAN SOMERSET 6 DIMAN DARTMOUTH 26 BASEBALL Diman Vocational High School may well be proud of its baseball team which won nine games while losing three. Any of the losses suffered by Diman could easily have been won, if Lady Chance had not smiled upon the victors. Winning four games in a row by terrific scores, Diman fell before its nemesis, Somerset, by a four to one score. A new victory string of two games was halted by Dighton, which posted 'a six to five victory over Diman. It seemed as if Diman would be unbeatable in the remaining games, because of its tremendous batting power and splendid mound staff led by Len Pereira, who tossed a no-hitter against Case High. Len was ably assisted by Stan Szlega and Frank Mello in the pitching department. They were the Big Three of the pitching staff. The batters were led by Stan CThe Manh Szelag whose phenomenal one game hitting performance broke all existing high school records, and became national syn- dicated copy when his feat appeared in Bob Ripley's Believe It Or Not . Although they did not win the Narry League Crown, no team received as many honors as did this spirited baseball team of Diman Vocational High School.

No team in the strong Narry League gained a double victory over Diman. The four losses suffered by Diman were contributed by Holy Family, the league champions, Prevost, Somerset and Dartmouth. A singular distinction was gained by Diman in that it was the only team to defeat Holy Family during the cam- Daigfl- . Seniors on the squad, center Bill Dupere and forward Tish Lavoie, weregreat competitors who contributed highly towards team spirit and balance. Juniors Phil McManus, the team's most prolific scorer, Bill Prayzner, George Leclair, Sophomore Bob Letendre and members of the JV team which suffered only one loss while capturing the Narry League JV championship assure Diman of con- tinued power and success on the hardwood floors of basketball courts. Captain Ed Fernandes again displayed his all around ability. His exceptional skill was a vital factor to Diman's success.

A Each shop has its own team, 'and the pupils who haven't -the ability or opportunity to play for the Diman basketball varsity are able to vie every Friday in wholesome competition forthe championship of the Shop League. Weights and sizes are evened by fighting spiritg and razzle-dazzle basketball appears with comforting showers for some, a touch of despair for others, and glory for all. As the season progresses, the competition has become keener al- though the Electric Shop has gone undefeated in eight games. With the second round nearing its end, every team will be victory bound, each game will be hard fought, and many thrills will be experienced before the final play-offs in March between the winners of the first and second round. The championship team will be presented a plaque by Mr. Driscoll, faculty advisor.
