Business Manager ACKNCDWLEDGMENTS. The Record Book Staff wishes to express its gratitude to the many persons responsible for the compilation of this class record. ' To our faculty advisors, Miss Katherine L. Hogan and Mr. John V. Donnelly, we owe our thanks for their invaluable counsel. We wish to thank the presidents of the various student organizations, who, with their faculty advisors, contributed the pictures and information concerning their activities. Credit is due to Robert Hellens '43 for his candid shots which provide the Record Book with an appropriate pictorial review of student life at Durfee. The Staff also wishes to thank the Fall River Herald News for the use of pictures of our athletic teams and activities. Without its cooperation our book would be incomplete. Recognition should also be given to Alice L. Boyer '43, who performed the tedious job of Staff Typist in a praiseworthy manner. We wish to thank Mrs. James M. Morton, Jr. and Mr. John S. Brayton for the permission to photograph a portrait and bust of Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee. S E 3 A BOY AND 'if JJ' I A century ago was born in Fall J 7 E radiant through the years and will River a boy whose name has lived continue to live as long as there will be high school graduates in our city. Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee had a short life as time goes, but he intensified that life by his gifts of sympathy and imagination, gifts which made him see the need of a good high school for the boys and girls of his city. Because he loved Fall River and recognized the need, he expressed the wish that part of his estate be used for the purpose of promoting higher education not only in the classical subjects but also in the chemical, physical and mechanical sciences. His bereaved mother fulfilled that wish by her gift to the city of the beautiful and well equipped B. M. C. Durfee High School, dedicated June 15, 1887. The building itself is a splendid monument to the memory of Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee but a far greater monument is the memory of the gratitude of the thousands of Durfee graduates, who in each generation are living tributes to his name. The centennial of the birth of Bradford Matthew Chaloner Durfee is marked by the cataclysm of global war, war in which are many graduates HIS vlsloN OF A GREAT scHool. of Durfee. Members of your class, the class of 1943, are already fighting. Very soon mostof you whose names' arepin this Record Book will be eng rolled in the armed forces. The education that you have received in the Durfee High School will enable you to take your part intelligently and courageously in this war for the emancipation of countries in which intellectual freedom is enslaved and for the protection of that freedom in ourown land. When victory is achieved and a just peace established you 'Will march to your homes where you belong and desire to be and take your place. in building up your country and helping to build up the rest of the world. We are grateful to the youth whose foresight and love for his city caused to be erected a building to promote the system of public education in our i yi country, a system, in the Words of , Thomas Jefferson, For the preserva- tion of freedom and happiness, which you, graduates of 1943, go forth to defend.

Because of the transportation difficulties, state and sectional meetings have been omitted. The usual school program, however. has been carried on, with the addition of a highly successful Freshman party to the customary afternoon socials. Outstanding among the events of the year were the Pigskin Hop in November, the Football Banquet in January, and the Officers' Banquet in March. A football rally, an Honor Students Assembly, Awards Assemblies, and the organizing of the Speakers' Bureau were also among the year's events. The faculty advisors are Miss Mary Lee, Mr. James F. Conlin, and Miss Anne L. O'Neil, treasurer Presvjdent LILLIAN P. DUFFY '43 Vice President Secretary WILLIAM A.

The llirectciws. a boy anrl a girl from each homi- room, are clecteml by the stuclcnts on the basis ol' scholastic records and clepenclability. These members relieve the home room teachers of several cluties, such as checking attendance and reading bulletins. They promote the various drives and campaigns, including' S.A.A.. Heil Cross, Anti- Tuberculosis Fund and the school entertainments. The importance ofthe group is illustraterl by the fact that its president is automatically a member ot' the S.A.A. Founcil. This year. llome Room llircctors have clone much to make the XV211' Stamp ancl Ilonrl llrive successful. The group is a prog'ressive, important factor in school life. JOHN P. CYCONNOR, I'rfsz'f7w1f 3I,xHJoic1i5 flOl,llVVEI,l., S1f'I'!'flII'jf RCAMERA CLUB The main purpose of the Durfee Camera Club, founded in 1938, is to teach the basic and fundamental principles of photography. Photography has become a great factor in the present day world and of more than usual importance in conjunction with the war effort. The dark room technique of previous years has been temporarily discontinued, except in theory. Developing, printing, enlarging, cropping, and spot printing technique have of necessity been dealt with wholly from a theoretical angle. Professional and amateur photgraphers have given talks and advice to the club members. Visits have been made to the Fall River Herald News for demonstrations of newspaper photographic procedure. Social events and contests have been sponsored by the club. This year the members have been especially determined to aid the school and the government in the successful completion of the present world conflict. The officers are: President-Robert C. Hellensg Vice President- Edward Bielerg Secretary-Lillian Cunningham: Treasurer-Jacqueline La Forestg and Faculty Advisor Mr. Joseph J. Lawlor. I. f I IM, COMMERCIAL CLUB P1'es1'rIe1zf ALICE L. BOYI-:R Secretary T'l'6!lSIll'f7l' HELEN KACZYNSKA NORMAN KAPLAN The purpose of the Commercial Club is to create higher standards of commercial scholarship and greater interest in business education and to provide vocational guidance and social activities for members. The club has 100 members this year. Requirements for membership this year were lowered so that more commercial seniors would be eligible for membership. Previously, only those who had attained 827 or more in English in their junior year could join the clubg those who have attained 8024 in English this year can now do so. The Commercial Club suffered a great loss last fall, when shortly after the first meeting of the scholastic year, Miss Isabelle E. O'Neil, who had been our faculty advisor, died in the Cocoanut Grove disaster. Club members, as well as other Commercial seniors, attended the funeral services. The club welcomed a new advisor, Mr. George C. Hoar, who was appointed the new director of the Commercial Department. At the January meeting, Mr. John V. Donnelly, Vocational Guidance Director, spoke on the importance of Preparing for and Selecting Clerical Positions in Wartime. The first social affair the club held this year was an Acquaintance Party held in February, one ofthe many activities of a successful year. Dramatic Club Program Presented at Camp Durfee l942-I943 Gentlemen of Camp Durfee: Tonight, we are indeed fortunate in having the Durfee Dramatic Club here to entertain us. First of all, they will give a Hallowe'en celebration. dramatizing the popular songs of today, Praise the Lordf' I've Got Spurs, Rosita, and Strip Polka. Next, a program of four plays which, by the way, are original. They were written by the following members of the Dramatic Flasses: Adele Zais, Betty Trask, Muriel Katzman, and Patricia Jewell. They will show you the Dramatic way of celebrating Christmas, making each Thespian Alumnus enact the story of a famous lover from history or fiction. And now, gentlemen, after these impromptu acts we will have the feature number ofthe program. Once a Pupil, Ebb Tide, 'tAfterwards, and Creatures of Impulse are the four interesting plays. Is there a soldier here from Providence Z' They will now see the group of National Thespians who installed a new troupe at Providence Classical High School. Excerpts from The Gondoliers will now be sung by Fall River's best talent. Hold on to your seats, gentlemen, for you will now witness a group of forty grand stunts, planned especially for your enjoyment. Several of these acts have been requested by other camps including Camp Veridames and Camp Home for the Aged. One cast of troupers journeyed to Lynn with Creatures of Impulse, which has played that famous Camp Henry Lord. The last number on our program is an out-of-door play prepared for The American Association of University Women and given in their garden. We will all join now in the singing of the 'tStar Spangled Banner. Muriel S. Licotsky, Pres. Raymond Larter, Vice-Pres. Mae D. Schraer, Svc N DEBATINC Because the district and state speech tournaments of the Massachu- setts High School Speech Association were cancelled this year, the Durfee debating team under the direction of Mr. William F. Kaylor, faculty member, found it difficult to arrange a suitable schedule since most schools had dispensed with debating for the duration. However, a five team schedule was arranged, and debating on the subject, Resolved: That A Federal World Government Should be Organized, began late in April, David Keusch and David Israel, experienced debaters, scored a 3-0 victory over the New Bedford affirmative. Raymond Larter and Dorothy Mitchell comprised the Durfee affirmative which lost a 2-l decision to the Pawtucket West debaters. Keusch and Israel switched to the affirmative, defeated the New Bedford negative, and won the praise and decision of Critic Judge Brother Ivo, F.S.C., debate director of Coyle High School. I' ming their negative roles, Keusch and Israel scored a 2-1 decision over me Pawtucket West affirmative, but were decisioned in their last debate by the Classical High School debaters of Providence. by a 2-1 vote. THE HILLTOP The Durfee Hilltop, student weekly, is published by seniors who are members of the second year Journalism Class. Its four page make-up consists of news, editorials, features, sports and advertisements. 1 With twenty-one years of success to its credit, both financially and in student interest, The Hilltop is a medium by which the student has become acquainted with his school through the years. Intended to unify school spirit, it has also encouraged and increased student interest and participation in various school activities. Members of the staff, under the able supervision of Mr. John T. Crowley, faculty advisor, have greatly benefitted from their journalistic endeavors during this past year. Following the fundamentals of journalism obtained from text book theory in their junior year, they have received much practical experience in meeting the dead-line which required much time and effort on their part. The staff realizes, however, that much of the credit for the success of The Hilltop lies with the subscribers and the advertisers for their interest and cooperation. This year's staff consisted of the following: Editor-in-Chief L2 ,h V. Mercier, Business Manager, Mary C. Harrington, News Editor, Rose M. C. DeBonisg Sports Editor, Robert H. Sherman, Features, Muriel L. Rowell, Dorothy M. Mockas, Mae D. Schraer, Phyllis M. Briggs, Lois M. Moss, Mildred L. Snell, Circulation, Anna E. Henry, Elaine M. Padelford: Exchanges, Evelyn Lima. LIBRARY AIDS President THERESA OLIVEIRA Vice President Secretary EDITH COOK GLORIA E. URCELAY Social Committee--MaryElizabeth Field, Chairman, Aids-Victoreen L. Ashker, Edward J. Burns, Arline Copeland, Nola A. Desforges, Lillian P. Duffy, Estelle C. Garonsky, Morgan J. Glavin, David L. Keusch, Fer- nande L. Lemay, Mary L. Melia, Virginia P. Merritt, Mary L. Pereira, Beatrice F. Pereira, Elizabeth Ann Salvo, Margaret M. Shea, Joseph E. Sullivan, Richard W. Wallace. The Durfee Li-brary Aids, under -the guidance of Miss Marion E. Kernan, the school librarian, is one of the most important organizations in the school. Its membership is made up of students who have been selected according to their scholastic standing, dependability and coopera- tion from the sophomore, junior and senior classes. Since there is a great deal of work done in the library throughout the day, a library aid's duties begin at 8 o'clock. From 8 to 8:15 each morning, four aids are on duty to issue passes and to check returned books. Other duties are: to collect and take passes, which were issued in the morning to the study halls each period, to locate pupils absent from the library, to locate books which are overdue, to keep books arranged in an orderly way upon the shelves according to the Dewey Decimal System, to assist students in finding material, to prepare new books for the shelves, and, in general, besides keeping the library in order, to be helpful to teachers and pupils in every way. The sophomore class is assigned to regular Library Science work once a week. The aids assist here in checking attendance and papers. However, the duties of the aids are not confined to the library, for they are often called upon by the teachers to render efficient service else- where. The Library Aids not only are beneficial to the school, but they them- selves receive valuable experience which later may be of help to them. Qi, THE LITERARY CLUB The Durfee Literary Club this year continued its service to the school by offering students interested in writing an opportunity to read their work and receive criticism from their like-minded associates. The pro- grams, unusually interesting this year, included little verse but produced many fine bits of descriptive and atmospheric prose and a few good essays in the lighter vein. With David Israel '43 serving his second term as president and Alice Coyne '43 as vice-president the bi-Weekly meetings were conducted with efficiency. Barbara Jackson '45 served as secretary. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY LEONARD A. WAITE, President WALTER E. MOORE, Vice-president EDITH E. COOK, S9C'l'l'fUI'jl Miss MILDRED V. CARROLL, FlICIlIf1jAlfl'l.Nlll' The Mu Kappa Delta Chapter of the National Honor Society holds a high position among Durfee organizations, for it is the only society with its members elected on the basis of their high scholastic standing. This organization strives to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, service, lead- ership and character The members are chosen from the upper 25? of the junior and senior classes by a faculty committee. An induction ceremony formally initiates the new members. At this ceremony four torches are lighted, representing the four characteristics for which the society stands. These characteristics-scholarship, service, lead- ership and character-stand as a goal to be achieved, not only in school life, but throughout life itself. THE ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS The Durfee Chorus and Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Helen L. Ladd, have successfully completed one of their busiest seasons. Starting in December, the two organizations participated in at least one public appearance each month until the end of the year. The Chorus at Christmas made its annual procession through the school corridors singing carols, and later sang at the Fall River Rotary Club. In January, members of the Orchestra and Chorus gave their annual recital. As is customary, the Orchestra and Chorus, assisted by the Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Barbara Wellington, staged a popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Gondoliersf' The Orchestral Department inaugurated a new type of concert in the month of March when Professor Bjornar Bergethon of the University of New Hampshire was the guest conductor at a Youth Concert. Much val- uable experience was gained under his direction. Less than a week later, at the beginning of April, the annual Chorus and Orchestra Concert was held. The month ended with the performance of the same program at the USO. May was an extraordinarily busy month. First, the Orchestra and Boys' Glee Club performed on the National Music Week program, later the Boys' Glee Club assisted at the All-Boy Concert. A The month ended with the Orchestra and Chorus entertaining the Durfee Alumni at their. Annual Reunion. , - . ' Both organizations furnished musicfor the Class Dayand Graduation Exercises to conclude a very busy and enjoyable season. n A SPEAKERS' BUREAU Durfee's mostly recently formed organization is the Speakers' Bureau. The club is composed of eighty selected seniors chosen by the public speaking and debating teachers for their excellence in speaking. The purpose of the club is to speak in behalf of any campaign or school activity which may make itself prevalent. Members are asked only to prepare their speeches from notes given by advisors, and to deliver them in a quality manner before the home room assigned to them. Officers of the Students' Activities Association automatically become members of the Bureau, and at the end of the year, juniors will be permitted to enter so that they may gain experience in addressing an audience. The officers of the Bureau are: Chairman--Phyllis M. Briggsg Sec- retary-David J. Israelg Attendance Officer-Mary C. Harrington. Miss Elizabeth L. Leonard is the faculty advisor of this group which was instituted by Miss Mary Lee. I mn uf! TRAFFIC SQUAD Although the Traffic Squad is smaller this year than it has ever been, its members have worked hard throughout the year to live up to its reputation. In brief, the duties of the Squad are to maintain good conduct throughout the corridors of both buildings during the changing of classes and lunch periods and to devise rules and regulations which will enable pupils to pass to their various classes quickly. The Traffic Squad also has control of automobile traffic on Rock Street during the passing of pupils from one building to the other. The Traffic Squad is considered one of the most important branches of student self-government in the school and although its members, under the capable direction of Miss E. Estelle Miles, derive no benefits other than self-satisfaction, the fact that they report for duty reflects their willing- ness to serve. Co-captains-William Renaud, Ovila J. Pichette. First Lieutenants-Gerald Carlin, James Ponte, Russell Greenhalgh. Second Lieutenants-Donald Ashworth, Dennis Medeiros, William Martin. HH' v 'L at 5 B. 1' , Cv' L glial' -L- rnznunzl gg YUU Ill!

DURFEE'S ATHLETICS ff , ff -...-... . J I.. CHEERLEADERS The first cheering squad at Durfee was organized in 1932-33. From year to year the popularity of cheerleaders has steadily increased. The number of applicants for positions on the squad is so great that an elimination contest is necessary. Cheerleaders are chosen for their lead- ership and personality. This year, the cheerleaders have been under the able direction of Miss Virginia W. Frost. A junior, Nancy DuBanevich, was chosen to act as head cheerleader of a squad of two seniors, one junior, one sophomore and one freshman. Regular practice sessions were held in the girls' gym and the cheer- leaders demonstrated their ability at pep rallies and athletic contests held at Durfee. The cheerleaders were present at all football games and with their leadership, offered inspiration and encouragement to the team. The cheerleaders are: Nancy DuBanevich, head cheerleader: Jacqueline Urban, Yvonne Gagnon, Marion Furze, Mary Sullivan, and Constance Maines. GIRLS' NUMERAL CLUB President ARLINE M. COPELAND Vice President - Treasurer Secretary MARY ZAIDAN CYNTHIA BETAGH An organization for athletic girls is the Girls' Numeral Club, composed of gym leaders, girls with numerals, and promising sophomores. Its purpose is to cooperate in promoting girls' athletics at Durfee. To date our organization has sponsored a basketball tournament in which all sophomore girls could participate and a Play Day, the purpose of which was to meet prospective members. Six of our members took the course in Recreational Guidance and assisted at the Freshman Social. Some took a course in basketball referee work to qualify them to assist in our tournament. All members of the Club may belong to a bowling team, participate in after-school basketball, volleyball, badminton and gym leader practice. Speakers on sports activities have addressed some of our meetings. New sweaters, on which to wear the club numerals ,have been pur- chased by the members. A new type of award for the second and third year activities has been chosen because of the lack of metal needed for the former awards. At the end of the school year, if the members are in good standing and have participated in all activities, they are given their numerals or awards. The faculty advisor is Miss Virginia W. Frost. FOOTBALL The football squad enjoyed one of its best years in 1942, when it compiled a record of five victories, two defeats and one tie. The credit for this splendid season must be given to the Durfee fans, the coaches, and, of course, to the players, for without the close cooperation and keen interest of these three groups, no team can be victorious. Before the start of the Taunton game, beneath a terrific downpour, the entire crowd stood silently as taps were sounded for Seaman Arthur S. Margarido, a former Durfee football star, who died in the service of his country. The game on Thanksgiving Day will be regarded by the members of the team as a cherished victory, regardless of the 7-7 score. The Durfee players outrushed, outsmarted and outplayed a heavier, highly favored New Bedford team. Seniors who finished their high school careers in such a blaze of glory are: Charles Parsons and David Keusch, co-captains, David Shultz, William Renaud, David Dunne, Thomas Dolan, Donald O'Neil, Norman Kaplan, Robert Weeks, Henry Borkowski, Gus Lambros and Lucien Rego. Graduating into a war-torn world, the seniors on the football team, nevertheless, feel confident that in future days, wherever they are, they can in their reminiscences look back and feel genuinely proud of being on one of Durfee's better football teams. BASKETBALL Although the basketball season was not as fruitful as the football campaign, the Durfee hoopmen can well be proud of their 1943 record. Despite the fact that the opposition this year was better than average, and the Durfeeites were almost an entirely new team with little experience, the Hilltoppers succeeded in defeating, at least once, four of their seven oppos- ing teams. The Red and Black showed great promise in defeating Durfee Textile, New Bedford, St. Andrews, and the Alumni, but as the season wore on, it was impossible to hold back the onrush of such capable squads as Taunton, Vocational, and Coyle. Coach Urban built the nucleus of his team around the three senior lettermen, David Dunne, Charles Parsons, and Gus Lambros. For the first time since basketball was added to Durfee's list of sports, transportation difficulties were experienced due to government regula- tions, however, no games had to be cancelled. if if oil l, . , l ,,.,.,- -- - K' BASEBALL The 1943 baseball team began a highly successful season on April 20, under the direction of Coach Louis J. Urban. Seniors responsible for the string of victories include Dallas Cates, Manager, David Keusch, Norman Kaplan, Charles Parsons, Donald O'Neil, David Dunne, John Cabral, Gus Lambros and Saleem Mizher. A fourteen-game schedule was arranged, with additions likely to fol- low. Foremost among these were three games each with New Bedford High and Vocational. With the first game delayed by inclement weather, the team nevertheless displayed a driving spirit and had compiled a string of victories. At the hour of going to press, Durfee had won 11 straight games and suffered its first defeat in the 12th game on the schedule. TENNIS This year's tennis team found itself confronted with difficulties which had not been entirely .unexpected Fortunately we had a supply of tennis balls on hand, but other schools were not so well equipped and had to abandon their schedules. Most of the team'sQ regular opponents, such as New Bedford and De La Salle, sent their regrets. A short schedule was finally arranged, however, including home-and-home matches with Ports- mouth Priory School and Moses Brown Academy. At the time of writing we were awaiting word from Hope High School, La Salle Academy, and Rogers High of Newport. Members of the Class of 1943 most likely to see action on the clay courts under Coach Ambrose F. Keeley this year were: Sumner Alpert, Donald Klotz, Jerome Mitchell, and Manager William Kaplan. VARSITY CLUB Presideiit Secretary THOMAS J. DOLAN CHARLES V. CARROLL, JR. Vice President Treasurer DONALD P. O'NEIL CHARLES PARSONS The membership of the Varsity Club consists of all students who have received a varsity D in any sport. The club was organized to spread interest in competitive athletics and to encourage school spirit by fostering high ideals of sportsmanship. Each spring the organization presents an annual exhibition. This year the program was more elaborate than usual. There were eight boxing and novelty fights, arranged by C-oach Urban. The feature bout was between Robert Weeks and Stanley Hirsch, with the former winning by a technical knockout. A one-act farce entitled Dress Reversal was enacted by members of the football squad. Miss Elizabeth L. Leonard and Mr. John J. Harrington directed the play. The program was brought to a close with the showing of three sport movies. Three members of the club are in the service of the United States. They are: Thomas J. Dolan, the President of the club, Henry Borkowski, and William Harrington.
