Charity, as manifested by the illustrious Founder of Diman Vocational High School, is assuredly one of the highest inherited virtues among the noble sons of Alma Mater! i No Poet would dare to so mingle sweetness and strangeness, simplicity and pecu- liarity, sublimity and pathos, as Charity mingles them together! The Poets' conceptions r either stand out from the common virtues of men as exceptional cases, or else lose their distinguishable individuality altogether! A But Charity is at once, a grandeur and more beautiful thing than the creation of ' the Poet. it is,like a grand ennobling deed, which Providence itself performs, as the years go on, with an eloquent, dramatic gesture of love, from man to his fellow man! lt Charity is the true rule of life, and here at Diman, is actually resident among us t in countless ways. lt often leads a hidden life, and silently averts calamities encircling our future careers. lt almost holds our fate in control, and renders her might more be- nignant than her effect would have us anticipate. lt bridles the earthquake and tames the pestilence. it guides men on Earth, which is always quivering and dipping, turns the wild floods at their more perilous angles, casts aside the wrath of the Heavens, which would have scathed life . . . or limb . . . or property! 3 lt beautifies the rough way of life, even while it bids us tread them as the Destiny from which there can be no turning. A- Last of all, Charity is itself the love of mankind, causing life to be softer and more bearablep making all that is.noble within us, God-Like and more beautiful: and iust when life seems unendurable, opens a way to let the Sun shine throught opens a way to let us clown on a sudden bed of roses, without thorns, as if it were some Heavenly ' elixirl' '. . . Surely, no greater Gift, could Nlan possess . . ' ' -- F yr It l I S4 - -s 41.- ,4 J . To Mr. Martin H. Delahanty, Jr., instructor in the Science of Automobile Mechanics, as a manifestation of love and respect for so broad-minded a teacher, so willing a counselor, and so true a friend, this book is affectionately dedicated. .

Founder of Diman Vocational High School. SAINT GEORGE'S SCHOOL, MIDDLETOWN, R. I. PRIORY, PORTSMOUTH PORTSMOUTH, R. I. SCHOOL ln a report of the Massachusetts Commission on lndustrial and Technical Education, published in 1906, it was shown that 33'M: of the children of the state of Massachusetts who began work between the ages of 14 and 16 were employed in unskilled indus- tries and 6545 in low grade industries. Unskilled in- dustries were defined as those in which the work was a repetition of a single or simple operation easily learned in a short period of time, and in which the knowledge of one part was not essential to that of another. This called for a low grade of ability and led to nothing higher. Thus for many young workers who were forced into wage earning at 14 years of age there had been a pitiable waste of years be- tween 14 and 21, for many of those persons had ex- cellent mental ability and a strong aptitude for the mechanical arts and trades. lt was to help this class of boys that Fr. John B. Diman, headmaster of St. George's School, Newport, in a far seeing spirit of philanthropy, gave an en- dowment in 1912 which made possible the voca- tional school in the John J. McDonough school build- ing. Fr. Diman generously paid the salary of the in- structor, Mr. Frederick H. Rundall for two years, and furnished the best equipment that could be procured for such a shop. The cost of the equipment for the first year was approximately 5500. This included two lathes, operated by electricity, twelve drawing tables, four woodworking benches, and all neces- sary tools and instruments. For the school year 1913- '14, further equipment, at additional cost was in- stalled. An important feature of their training was the part time schedule. While the boys were in school, their mornings were usually spent in shop, and their afternoon sessions were usually spent in instruction in their academic studies, two and a half hours of arithmetic, English, civics, and mechanical drawing. The teacher for this work was furnished by the school department. In 1912-'13 there were sixteen boys in the school. In September of 1913 nine of these returned plus eighteen new boys. These boys were eager to obtain instruction that would advance them in the industrial world. The school while yet in its infancy gave promise of filling satisfactorily an urgent need. While the high schools and colleges provided opportunity for those between 14 and 21 who wished to further their education, no provision had been made up to this time for those who had to devote these years to earning a livelihood. Fall River owes to the generosity and public spirit of Fr. Diman its first example of this much needed form of education. To parents and children it emphasized the dignity of skilled craftsmanship and taught them the fact HISTORY that there was a bright future in this country for the well trained worker in the useful arts and trades. The city owed a debt of gratitude to Fr. Diman for this invaluable addition to its educational resources. Due to an increasing enrollment, the school com- mittee on May 22, 1916, requested the mayor to lease the two upper floors of the Kennedy Building to be used as quarters for a day industrial school, and to be known as the Diman Industrial School, with Frederick H. Rundall as director. The courses offered were carpentry, painting, house decoration, and sheet metal work. On July 5, 1921, the committee authorized Mr. Rundall to establish an auto-repair course. As no funds were available, the class was not started until September, 1922. Upon the death of Mr. Rundall in 1940, Mr. Thom- as G. Doyle was appointed director. At that time, the school had an enrollment of thirty-two students. ln June, 1942, Mr. Joseph P. Gilligan was appointed director-. Under his wise and capable guidance, and with the whole-hearted cooperation of the faculty the school has grown by leaps and bounds until to- day it has grown to a number of approximately three hundred and fifty students. In September of 1943 the Machine Drafting course was set up in the Kennedy Building with Mr. Charles E. Matte, our present assistant director, in charge. In April, 1944, the physical education program was set up in the Kennedy Building. In that same year, the school was moved to the Giesow Building. Due to limited facilities, some of the academic classes were conducted in the Lincoln School. lt was during this year that the school dept. authorized changing the name of the school to the Diman Vocational High School. In September of 1945, the electrical course was set up in the Giesow Building. Due to the increasing enrollment and the trades taught, the school moved in its entirety to its present location on Hartwell Street in 1946. The present Diman Vocational High School represents years of effort on the part of Mr. Gilligan and the faculty, to provide a well-rounded education, for its students, and is a fitting tribute to the vision of its founder, the Reverend Dom John H. Diman. During the passing years, the faculty has increased until now there is a total of twenty-one instructors. With the installation of more and better equipment, the student body has also increased. There is no doubt, that at the rate Diman is growing, it will someday be considered one of the most outstanding high schools of its kind. May it continue to grow in the future, as it has in the past! 7 WALTER MARKHAM TO THE GRADUATES OF THE CLASS OF 1955 OF THE DIMAN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: You are indeed a fortunate group of young Americans, who have had the oppor- tunity to be educated and trained, not only in the traditional and conventional academic subjects in your high school course, but you have also received specialized training in the trade of your choice which will be the sound foundation on which you will build your life's work. By now you know it is a privilege and an honor to be educated as an American and to have the freedom of choice for your vocation in life. The vocational competency that you have acquired will enable you to take your rightful place among the skilled tradesmen of this great nation. Never forget to take and maintain pride in your ability as a craftsman. Today, our very existence depends on your generation of skilled artisans to combat the efforts of those who would destroy us. ln addition to your craft skills, your academic and extracurricular education has taught you to think critically and honestly, to respect every man, and to recognize the value of each man's work. To be able to do this today is a real accomplishment, espe- cially when there are so many interesting, confusing, and rapidly changing events of history being recorded. Finally, your education, a combination of skills and knowledge, has taught you to have confidence in our form of Government, a Government that still allows each and every man an equal opportunity to make the rules and regulations by which he lives. Continue to pattern your life to those rules so that you will recognize honor and truth, uphold iustice and tolerance, and be loyal to your God, your country, your trade, and to yourself, yourself most of all. May l congratulate you on your successful completion of this milestone, your grad- uation, on your pathway of life. Hold your head and your trade up high. Remember always, a true and faithful worker is one of God's noblemen. Sincerely yours, Walter Markham-Director Director, Division of Vocational Education Department of Education.

Campbell, Editor-inChief of the 1955 Artisan. ln September of '51, one-hundred and sixty eager young men entered the Voca- tional School of Diman, wide-eyed and staring as they beheld the machine-crammed building, that would be their educational home for the next four years. With ravenous impulse, they took advantage of the tools and machinery at their disposal, becoming more expert in their uses, forming basic working patterns that would one day evolve into fine craftsmanship, possessed by the true artisan. Through four years, they toiled and learned, cramming knowledge into their formative minds, learning their trades, attending lectures and obtaining information from their academic classes, until they had reached the end of their grueling journey, the graduation exercises and manhood, save for the hundred and some odd others who had found the pursuit of knowledge too trying, and had fallen by the wayside. But within their enriched way of living, they also shared and participated in vari- ous other activities . . . Dances . . . Assemblies . . . Plays and Sports. ln this book, your yearbook staff has tried to record in both picture and word, the memorable joys of our four-year stay at Diman. We hope that this book will be a treasure chest of golden memories, a record of fine accomplishment, a fragment of the past, capturing the pre- cious moments, of your once-in-a-lifetime, high school days.

To Mr. Frederick Demetrius, who coached us on the various and complex tasks that confronted us in the com- position of this record book, we are grateful and thank- ful for his valuable assistance. To Mr. Silva, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Demetrius, a deep vote of thanks, for a iob well done, for without their im- measureable experience and assistance, this yearbook would not have been possible!

MATTHEW DREWNIAK '4 +-,ERE D UFFy 'Rf CLASS PROPHECY On June 'l, 1960, we were discharged from the Fugi Air Force Base in Hong Kong, China. Tom Teves and I decided to use our flight pay instead of having the U.S. Air Force supply us with the transportation to the States. In this way we could tour half the world on our way home. We were sorry that we had to leave Ray Michaud and Matt Drewniak behind, but they had another year to serve. Bidding farewell to them, we drew our flight pay and were on our way. The Navy was kind enough to give us a ride on the U.S.S. Hank to Tokyo, Japan. While en route, we were given our seasick pills by Pharmacist Mate, Jim Giblin. Then to add surprise to surprise, we learned that Seaman Ken Cookson was also aboard. When we reached Tokyo we were greeted by Lt. John L. Rogers of the U.S. Marines, Commandant of the Serviceman's Club. As we chatted away like magpies, John managed to tell us of an American baseball team touring Japan, and the starting pitcher of the team was Big Bob Coulombe, whose pitching record for the Milwaukee Braves was tops in the Na- tional League. Tom decided that he needed a shave and a haircut at the Army Ex- change. Guess who wrapped the towel around his neck? None other than Richie Biello. We talked over old times as he stood on a stool cutting Tom's hair. He told us that Vince Campbell was a foreign correspondent to Japan. He also said that Jere Duffy was doing a great iob broadcasting for Radio Free Europe. It was suggested that we go to the Sung Lo Air Force Base to get a hop to Hawaii. The suggestion was the best piece of advice we had been given. Before we knew it we were on board and the pilot, Dave DeNadal, quickly had us 10,000 feet above the ground and headed for the paradise island of Hawaii. The overnight accommodations on the plane were sumptuous and comfortable. Thus, we were very fresh in the morn- ing when we started our short tour of the Island. We went to Dave's favorite restaurant, the Hamel Lunch Box, owned and operated by Al Hamel. Jim Greenwood, Mr. America, who was vacationing in Honolulu, dropped in while we were finishing our coffee. Jim told us about Alex Bond who owned and managed a fieet of fishing boats and advised us to see Alex who was planning a trip to the States and maybe we would be lucky enough to get a leisurely cruise home. As fortune would have it, Alex was heading to- ward Frisco and was only too happy to have us on board. We also learned that Alex had taken on a partner in the business, Ken Legaulty and they were a fine pair to run that business. While en route to Frisco, we contacted Don Hamel on the short wave radio and our conversations were long and we were brought up to date on all events. We had a wonderful trip and were happy to see San Francisco Bay. After Bond's boat was moored at Fisherman's Wharf, we hailed a taxi to get us to the center of the city. Needless to say the hackie was Al Bento who brought us to a friend of ours, Tom Clarke, the super salesman for Pontes' Clothiers. We were fitted for our first civilian suit which was a welcome change. While the tailor, Walt Bigos, was altering our suits, we realized that we were famished. We found a nice little restaurant on Main Street and went in. While we were eating, the chef stepped out to visit the customers to make sure that everything was satisfactory. We almost dropped! He was none other than our own Foster Thompson. After hearty greetings, Foster brought us up to date with the news of Dimanites who were living in California. He told us about Ron Talbot's attendance at college in California and his working part time in the restaurant. John Wheadon and Francis Harrington owned an Orange Grove in Southern California and were very prosperous. Bob Boissonneault and Ron White were logging and lumbering the Redwood trees of Northern California. The real surprise came when Foster told us about George Faris having a five year contract with the Los Angeles Rams. lt, indeed, was a pleasant reunion and we sadly departed. We returned to pick up our suits, said our goodbyes, headed for the station, and boarded a train that was headed for Texas. After being comfortably seated and en- ioying the view, we were asked to present our tickets. The conductor, none other than 38 Henry Joannes, was so busy talking that he punched a hole in my thumb instead of the ticket. Luckily a bone specialist, Dr. Len Mroz, was on board and treated my thumb. We' slept in our lower berths that night and the next morning reached our destination, Da as. As we were in no hurry, and we wanted to enjoy ourselves, we registered at the Shannon Biltless Hotel, owned and operated by Gerald Shannon. We visited him in his Pent House and Ron Leger was in and out all of the time. It seems that Ron and John Harrington were silent partners in the business. That afternoon we read the Texas E. C. , a daily newspaper. When we reached the editorial page, we found that Ed Campbell was owner, editor, reporter, and copy boy. The ball game was being broad- cast at the time and we knew the voice was familiar, but could not place it. When the announcer gave his name we knew that we were listening to an old familiar voice, that of Ernie Cote. When the ball game was over we listened to the Frank Ciosek Hour. We heard him play such popular songs as, I'll Break Your Bones Again, Cathleen. After this tune, the radio went on the blink.. Ron Leger picked us up for supper and he took us to the Chase Casino, where we saw Reliable Ray and Gruesome Bruce wrestle for the Needleweight Championship of the World. These aliases were none other than Ray Curry and Bruce Burton. We managed to see Richard Chase, the owner of the Casino, who apologized for not being able to entertain us, for he had an appointment with oil-millionaire, Eddy Michael, on a big deal. We wanted to relax a while and we did exactly that at the Boyerhemian Room, where we met the owner, bartender, and sampler, Kenn Boyer. We swapped stories, brought each other up to date on the Dimanites we had met. After checking out, we decided that Swansquarter, North Carolina would be next on our list, because Les Robinson was making this spot a center of his activities for the Jimmie Fund. It was a quick trip and before we knew it, our goodbyes were said and we were on our way to Flatbush, New York and the LaRosie Macaroni Plant. There in the middle of this famous plant was Roger Toni bending elbows in the macaroni. From there we went to Manhattan to see the play Julius Seize Her, starring Chuck Prezalor, the oddest name and also the most famous on Broadway. After seeing the sights of New York, we decided that the most welcome sight would be Fall River. And indeed it was. The Main Street had many familiar faces and a few and new businesses such as, Hinchliffe-Your Friendly Lincoln, Mercury Dealer, Norm Baraby's Funeral Home, Banville's Waste-Land Real Estate Company, Medeiros' Beauty Saloon. We knew that we could find Ray Legault at the nearest Boys' Club, so that was our next stop. He told us of George Wilson, who was teaching advance physics at the new' Diman Vocational High School, which included Nick Fitton's barn. Ray also said that Alan Levrault was seeking the appointment of Secretary of State, and Ernest Desnoyer had an auto plant for hot-rods iust outside of Boston. Teves later informed me that Tom Krupa was also getting his beans every week, playing in his uncle Gene Krupa's band. Tom and I then parted, as he was staying at his folks home that weekend. I took a bus to my own home, and to my amazement, the driver was my old friend, Walter Drewniak. As we drove through the city, I told him of the other students of Diman I had met, and he enlightened me about Ray Wrobel, who had become a patrolman, and is still pounding the beat. Just then, we swerved off the road and plummeted over a I000 foot drop. I screamed, only to open my eyes and find myself on the floor besides my bed. I wiped away the sweat, as I realized it was only a dream, but best of all, today is the day I am supposed to enlist in the Air Force, and now I can hardly wait to be discharged . . . in Hong Kong! James C. Hopkins Thomas M. Teves Kenn J. Boyer 39 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ln each hugh epoch of time, there comes forth from at least one school in this wonderful country of ours, a group of men whose academic and voca- tional achievements are so great, so irrevocable, and so unapproachable, that it would be a blotch on our American way of life, if their accomplishments were not made known to the rest of the world! This is the story of the 55 of '55, and long may it be told before the hearths of the humblest cot- tages, or to an eager audience housed in a mamoth hall, for this is the story of fifty-five American men who attempted in the true American spirit, to gain the knowledge and wisdom which was so profoundly given by a score of adept instructors in the Voca- tional High School known as Diman. Their battle against an uneducated way of life deserves recogni- tion. Their struggle to acquire the knowledge they so desperately sought and needed, should be made known to the rest of the world, as a shining example of how fifty-five young men, braved four years of grueling assignments and exhausting shop work, to emerge as well-rounded, skilled and experienced artisans. This then, is their story . . . A tribute, to their glory! As the last week of summer heralded the ending of our vacation period, the Horn of Diman, ini- tiated us into our Freshman year, a great awaken- ing sound, burning into us, the imprint of our future days in the spacious and well-tooled shops. It wasn't easy for us to give up comparative freedom and Congeniality of an ordinary high school, and resign ourselves to the simple, hard, but rewarding task of work . . . work . . . and more work! We began our torturous iourney in the Fall of '51, with a text book in one hand, and our shop tools in the other, but we kept to the task assigned us, and soon became prolific, if not expert, in our respective trades. But the journey to reward was hard, and by the end of our first year at Diman, many faces that were with us when we started our courses, were not to be found among us, as we headed down Hart- well Street away from the school for a while, to our homes, to recuperate from our first year, and pos- sibly our hardest, and show off our gained knowl- edge! In the Fall of '52, we again entered the portals of Diman, to continue our gauntlet of education where we had commenced. Through forty weeks, we fought relentlesly against the basic desires in each and every one of us to take the easy way out, to go through life with a strong back and a weak mind, yet as strong as this desire was, the drive for knowl- edge was stronger, and it wasn't too long, before the last week of our Sophomore year was hence, and we were receiving our report cards, overioyed that next year, we would return to continue our pursuit of education as Juniors. But as ioyous as we were, we were also despondent, for this Sophomore year had been the most grinding year we had faced, or would ever, face: almost half the group of 55 had found the course too grueling, and had either been dropped out, or turned to less strenuous fields of endeavor. Our Junior year was a credit to our previous three years of preparation and training. We sky-rocketed through the forty weeks of exams and shop work to reach the end of the vintage year without a fatality in the whole group. We also attempted our first stage play, entitled Decision! , by Ed. Camp- bell, with Robert Coulombe, Kenneth Boyer, James Hopkins, Raymond Curry, and Foster Thompson. Senior year! The end result of three previous years of gruelling preparation and thought-provocative assignments. This was the year we all remember best. Dances run regularly helped to speed the year along. Sports activities helped erase the bitter memories of seemingly unmerciful instructors. The production of our yearbook became a breakneck contest between our four years of manufacturing skill, and the yearboak's deadline! The fourth year came and passed, and the inex- perienced young men who had started on the uphill iourney to knowledge, had evolved into master craftsmen in their trades, with a fine crop of acad- emic records to booster their titles. But the fourth year was also the hardest, and the responsibilities placed on their learning ability were great. Still, three years of preparatory assignments had hard- ened them, and various activities and assignments made the year pass swiftly. So, they conquered the fourth year in true American style, and those who saw it through, and mastered the four years of toughening assignments, were now graduates, and ready to meet any challenge that life could hurl at them! They had it rough, those 55 of '55, but it was not without fun and laughter and good times. Although at first, we were inclined to look upon our instruc- tors as foes to be wary of, it was not long before we had found that they were in reality, loyal com- panions, and true, and there was not a one among them who would not give up freely of his time, to help us in our quest for knowledge. We are proud that we have had the opportunity to share in the proud and growing heritage of Diman. We are equally proud, that Diman has been an instrumental factor, in our lives, starting us off in the right di- rection, and with the basic knowledge, to a well- rounded, well-adjusted life, in this wonderful coun- try of ours. To Diman, our Alma Mater, to our teachers and instructors, who so amply aided us, and to our be- loved parents, to whom we owe so much, our humble thanks, and sincere appreciation, for giving us the right, and the means, for a well-adjusted, and un- doubtedly, bountiful life. To you, the very best.

Fortunate indeed is the student who has had the opportunity of graduating from the Machine Shop course at Diman Vocational High School. Here, in one of the best equipped school machine shops in the state, the student receives basic training on the standard machine tools used in industry. During his four years of high school education the student learns about the construction of these machine tools, the function of the principal parts, the basic operations that are performed, and the wide variety of cut- ting tools that are used on these machines. He learns how to read and how to make drawings. He is instructed in the use of the various measuring tools used to obtain different degrees of accuracy for given iobs. Safe working habits are continually stressed. Knowing all these things does not suffice. The student must have the necessary related technical information that is so vital in developing workers who are resourceful, who have initiative, who are creative, and who are capable of independent thought, and action. In the related classroom, the student learns the science of the trade, the fundamentals of metallergy, and the math, geometry, trigonometry, and logarithms directly related to his trade. Yes, the graduate of the machine shop course at Diman Vocational High School has every right to be proud, for he has something that industry can use, a sound mind, and a sound foundation for future craftsmen. - Mr. John P.

SOCCER The Diman soccer team, while not particularly successful from the standpoint of games won and lost, actually was a great deal more impressive than its record would indicate. Crippled by the loss of five starters from last year's team, and further weakened by the departure of two more veterans after the third game, not too much was expected from the team but it very shortly proved to its followers that it was a truly representative Diman team. In only one game all season was it outclassed and it was the only team to hold the Southern Massachusetts champs, New Bedford High, on even terms. Prospects for the coming year are excellent and it is expected that Diman will once more achieve its customary lofty position in the schoolboy soccer world. Stopping it dead.

Runnin' wild . . . with a clarinet. Amidst the turmoil and confusion of a school's academic and voca- tional programs, the most welcomed sounds by far, are the enlightening and strengthening strains of music. Almost the very heartbeat of a school depends upon it's activities, and no more informal or rewarding activity, utters so much variety and expression, as the Held of music does. Surely, it is an honor and a privilege, to be able to say, l am a memher of the Band! Ti xox xllllll 03' v 2. .- 55. 4 Rfk ii l ik 5 r I at .1 K R Lady of Spain I adore you!

THE CHOWHOUND DERBY lt's a great day for the races, folks, the skies are clear and the contestants are eager. As the teachers bring them up to the starting doors, all entries are tense and nervous, they brace themselves for the bell. Oh, oh . . . there's one who jumped the gun, but they've got him back now. The race is iust about ready to start I imagine, the boys all look ready and waiting, the teachers step back, the doors are swung open, traffic officers take their places, students get a firm foothold . . . silence falls for the click of the clock that will sig- nal the start of the race . . . And there's the bell . . . They're off! ' At the start it's the auto shop in the lead, with the machine shop a close second, electric is in third place with drafting and academics classes vieing for fourth. Cabinet shop is a strong fifth and Interior Decorating is bringing up the rear. Down the corridors and onto the stairs, it's still Electric in third but academic is pull- ing up fast on the inside. Ancl there's a iam on the third floor bend. Traffic officers are waving them on but it looks like Cabinet and lnterior Decorating are out of the race. Down the stairs and into the locker room, Electric and Machine shops are iockeying for position. Mean- while, up on the third fioor, the iam is breaking up. The shop classes are turning in the corridors, breaking through .the cordon of traffic officers, and plunging headlong down the center stairway. The traffic officers are putting up a brave stand, but, oh, oh! There's one down on the railing, he's down, he can't get up, and the students are streaming by him with complete disregard and unconcern. Out of the locker room and into the alley, the pace is territfic out here, they've got the smell of the food now, and no power on Earth could stop them. lnto the turnf it's still Auto in the lead with Electric and Machine trying desperately to pull away from each other. Rounding the turn, it's still Auto in the lead, but wait, here comes the academic classes rushing up fast on the outside from the center stairway. There's a col- lision on the inside railing. A man's down. He's out of the race. He looks as if he's really hurt. The dust is settling now, and the seconds are rushing to his side to administer the last rites. Back to the race, around the turn and into the stretch: it's still Auto in the lead, but wait a minute, the Electric shop has switched to A.C. and has pulled away from the steady grinding Machinists. Academics are in fourth place, with Drafting and the third floor shops hope- lessly embodied together in fifth place. Down the home stretch, it's Auto and Electric, Electric and Auto, Auto and Electric. Machine shop is right on their heels, the smell of food is terriffic now, what a race. Oh, man! What a race! Auto is slightly in the lead now, by a head, no . . . by a neck . . . by a length . . . they're through the double doors and across the finish line into the cafeteria! it's the Auto Shop, winner by two lengths. And so we come to the close of another spectacular race, of . . . The Chowhound Derby! A f sm-iw, -' ' ' Q - P . Q ' 5 .ir ' . A if N N 1 , ny' 1 xv hx ,.

THE DIMAN VOCE EDITION Vol. 1 No. 1 Fall River, Mass.,.l une 17, 1955 One Page For Free DIMAN GRADUATES SECOND LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORYI With the completion of four years of training, Diman Vocational High School has graduated its second largest body of seniors to date, with the awarding of fifty-five diplomas at its commence- ment exercises. This student body comprises the second largest group of students ever to successfully complete the four-year course in the school. The school's director, Mr. J. P. Gilligan, was especially proud of the class. Said Mr. Gilligan, l have never seen a finer group of young men leave the school. I wish them the best af luck. DIMAN PUBLIC ENEMY No. I CAUGHT ln o thrilling backyard chase in the last week of school, Leslie C. Robinson was caught as he attempted escape from a certain diner on Pleasant St. through its back doors. C. Matte, our assistant director, made the unexpected arrest. For a long time now, it had been suspected that Robinson, Dim- an's No. I Public Enemy, had been sneaking out to have lunch at noon time, but up until now, it could never be proven. Robinson, it seemed, was iust too smart for our assistant director. The capture finally came when Mr. Matte saw him in the diner eating One OatmeaI. Mr. Matte gave no reason for ,being there at the time. It was Robinson's 99th dinner, and as he was spirited away, he had this to say, I only wish I could have made it an even I00. Thus ended the thrilling saga of Diman Public Enemy No. I. CHEF COURSE OMITTED The chef course at Diman, which has been in progress for the past five years, was finally omitted this year, with the graduation of its only senior, Foster Thompson. The office gave no reason for the omission. Lucky underclassmen. DIMAN BOY ANSWERS CALL OF HIS NATION David DeNadal, a Diman senior, surprised the rest of his class about the middle of his senior year, when he announced to the startled multitudes that he was embarking upon a career in the Army. Dave has long been loved and respected by his classmates, and will long be remembered for his cheerful and friendly spirit. He is succeeded by his girl friend. FIRE RIOTS JUNK YARD Toward the end of 1955, a blazing fire in the rear of one of Nick Fitton's trucks caused chaos and confusion for the better part of half an hour. Due to the alert U1 watchfulness of our custodian, .lim Carey, who was taking a rest at the time, and looking out the window at the grand view, Mr. Fitton was warned in time. Leaping into the cab of the flaming truck, pulling out one of his men as he did so, he recklessly threw it into reverse, and roared toward the Quequechan, crushing a wooden horse in his inadver- tant haste. He successfully maneuvered his tire truck between the gates leading to the river, and dumped the flaming cargo into the muddy waters, only to have the' carriage of the truck smash into the fence post on his left, as he tried to avoid the one on his right, when he lowered lt. After considerable effort, and with more help from his men, he finally succeeded in freeing the speared truck, after which, he stood wiping his forehead. Officials, after examining the facts, concluded that the fire started from red-hot cools left in the truck. THRONG ATTENDS PROM Perhaps the greatest thrill of a lifetime is the senior dance and dinner, held at the close of school each senior year in high school, known to all as simply, the prom. Dressed in finery amidst a rich array of gowns, Diman students, with their lady friends, thronged into the spacious and well appointed dining room at Stevenson's Lodge, for their once in a lifetime prom. The dinner consisted of a choice of turkey, or broiled lobster for the fastidious. After the dinner, the orchestra provided music for the couples, who gingerly accepted the invitation and filed out onto the dance Boar to swing their partners to the enticing music. Punch was served about 9:30, and the couples enioyed a brief pause, after which, they renewed their dancing once again. Later in the evening, some couples strolled out to the rear of the lodge, where in the pale moonlight, they snapped pictures of each other, for the years to come. The party ended sometime in the late evening. The prom was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. .lose Silva, and Mr. and Mrs. August Curt, senior class faculty advisors. .i... ii. WHERE ARE YOUR STUDENTS GOING? When they leave the room? Do you really know? It has come to the attention of this reporter, that some boys from the electric shop and some from the machine shop have found a new recrea- tional interest.'This new man is referred to as the B.R. What is it? Where is it? Ask any of the boys from the two previously men- tioned shops, who have been tracked by this reporter to their secret hideaway, what it is. Will they ever stop this menace to the school knowrl but to a few, and whispered in secrecy, as the B.R.? DIMAN aovs womcmo In Since the beginning of the senior year, two boys in the electric shop have been supposedly working industriously at the girls' school repairing motors. To our knowledge, there are not more than 20, at the most, motors up there, yet these same two seniors have been up there a year fixing them. ls it the job that's holding them there, or could it be the girls? Could it be that while one fixes a motor, the other is busy dismantling another? Came on fellas, let's be decent about it! What's going on up there? THE WALKING DRAFTSMAN Perhaps we're old fashioned, but we believe that a person who is in the drafting shop should spend some time in that shop, but from watching a certain pencil pusher whose initials are J.D., it seems that all one has to do to become a draftsman is to know where the nearest water bubbler is and take walks to it every min- ute or so. On the average, as computed by our mathematicians, this person spends at least as much as half an hour a day in his shop, that is, the days when he comes at all. He'll never be sore where other draftsmen are sore, that's for sure! 1 Plcrune ANYONE? When the yearbook staff requested of the office for more pictures, they were told to see Richard Biello, who was rumored to be a competent, capable photographer. Providing him with film and a camera, he set out to take beautiful pictures of nothing, such as a grand shot of the ceiling, shots of half a person's head, and others of the like. However, the office was generous, and gave him another chance to show his skill. He accepted eagerly, and returned with shots of persons too high, out of focus, too low, too far, or too close. However, he had improved. He could now point the camera. After months of trial, study, training, and error, he finally came out with a good picture, after which he got his lessons down in Greek, and now he has them forever. You may see his first good picture on page 85, position 3. IN MEMORIAM ' Miss A. CHRISTINE LEARY, cAreremA ASSISTANT ln February of l955, the entire student body and faculty were bowed down with grief when the angel of death called Miss A. Christine Leary, our beloved cafeteria assistant, from our midst to her eternal reward. Miss Leary had served in the cafeteria for the past five years, and was respected by hundreds of former and present Diman stu- dents, as well as by innumerable members of the faculty. We shall always remember her as one who gave her all in the preparation and serving of good food to Diman men. To her beloved family, we offer profound sympathy in their loss. Her genial manner, kindly interest, and sincere concern for the needs of Diman men will ever be a precious memory of our school days. DIMAN YEARBOOK BEST Even more than its students, a school yearbook shows what a school is really like, and the 1955 yearbook, edited by the stu- dents of Diman Vocational High School, is the best to come out of a long line of outstanding record books, both in context, and in format. By far, it outshines the attempts of other surrounding schools, and leaves them behind in our printers ink. Said Mr. Lynch of the Diman Yearbook, It shows the quality of work a school that really tries con accomplish. It is one of the best I have ever seen, both in quantity, and in quality. Nothing could sum it up better, for as in the words of its motto, Diman Vocational High School, where quality, even more than quantity, is the goal we strive toward.

EXPOSE, BY THE ROVING REPORTER Attention Mr. 8: Mrs. America and all ships at sea. Your Roving Reporter speaks! While passing the center stairway one day, which is supposed to be used for the express purpose of ascending, I saw certain select individuals, permitted by the traffic officers, descending the stairs. Upon further investigation, I learned that only those persons with a Black Draggon tattoed on their chests were per- mitted this pleasure. This some condition exists at the water coolers, also, where cer- tain persons, who brandish a secret ring, are allowed a drink of water between periods. Mr. 81 Mrs. America, why is this flagrant practice permitted? I write this column in secrecy, knowing that if you are awakened, iustice will prevail, but even as I write, I can see my door opening. They have come for me. The Secret Legion. Awaken before it is too late, they plan to take the school over. Their ringleader, his name is . . . AAAAAaaoaaarrrrrrgggg . . .

DIMANITE LEAVES SCHOOL Robert Boissoneault, a good looking wood butcher in the car- pentry shop at Diman, left school early in his senior year for the richer looking fields of Connecticut. When asked the reason for his decision, he had this to say, There are more girls over there. We wish him luck, although the way his gas gauge usually reads, it is doubtful if he ever made it. 55995554 PATRONS Dr. 8: Mrs. John A. Arminio Dr. 8: Mrs. Munroe Dashoff Attorney 8: Mrs. Frank D.
