Durfee High School - Durfee Record Yearbook (Fall River, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 130 of the 1957 volume:

I O our Guidance Directors, Miss Yolande B. Laliberte, Miss Alice C. Harrington and Mr. Thomas C. Cullen, in gratitude for their unfailing interest and wise counsel, we, the Class of 1957, dedicate our Record Book. Their thoughtful understanding and sound judg- ment have guided us throughout our years at Durfee, and in their untiring zeal on our behalf they have been of inestimable value to us. It is with sincere admiration and profound esteem we pay this, our parting tribute. Members of the Graduating Class: May I offer my congratulations to you as you graduate from your high school, and may I add my very best wishes for the successful fulfillment of those ambitions with which you look forward to the years ahead. One needs only to read the newspapers to realize how for- tunate you are to have been educated in an American community dedicated to the ideals of equal opportunity for all. While all of you may not have taken full advantage to date of that oppor- tunity, you have at least to the extent of fulfilling the require- ments for graduation. You are entering a new phase of life where wider and deeper responsibilities become yours. To varying degrees you will meet them. We, your teachers and elders, sin- cerely hope that you will meet them to the best of your ability, for we know that only in this way will you achieve the fullness of life which is the true measure of its success. For all of you we hope that the ideals of Durfee, involving, as they do, high standards of conduct and learning, will stand you in good stead. Again our congratulations and best wishes. Sincerely yours, To the Class of 1957: There is something in graduation from high school which crystalizes at once sentiments that have long lain dormant. There are on the one hand a loyalty to B. M. C. Durfee High School, a sense of pride of accomplishment, a certain readiness to go on. In opposition, however, is the prospect of relinquishing a known, pleasant way of life and facing a future which appears nebulous and challenging. But face the future you will, and with fortitude. The relig- ious convictions and moral standards which have been with you since childhood have been strengthened by your association with other young people of character and with devoted, high- minded teachers. You have developed gradually also that ability to weigh and consider, that desire to separate from confused and often biased reports on every conceivable subject, the gem of truth which must guide your thinking. The by-word of the day is automation, and you are stepping into a wonder-world of scientific achievements which reduce to Lilliputian stature the wildest creations of the Arabian Nights Entertainments, of Jules Verne, of H. G. Wells. You need not fear the “machine that make machines that make machines”. They will not enslave you, who are strong individuals; rather you will use them to make a better world. My heartiest congratulations go to every one of you as you graduate from Durfee. It is my earnest hope that you will all enjoy healthful and fruitful lives and that happiness will be your lot.

We soon learned that there's no room 605, however, and in a short time we were at home in our “second home.” Eager to take part in the social activities, we enjoyed ourselves immensely at the Pigskin Hop. During the football season we supported the team and although we lost to New Bedford, we were aware that we still had three more opportunities to win. In December, elections were held and the freshman class chose Thomas Davis, president; Brenda Medeiros, vice-president; Richard Poirier, secre- tary, and John Fonseca, SAA councillor. At the half-way mark Ina Goldberg made the All-A List and many others were on the Principal's List. With the basketball season under way we again rallied to the support of the Hill toppers. When Durfee captured the Bristol County crown we made the trip to Boston Garden. Though Durfee was eliminated, twro of our own classmates were already showing potential varsity ability in the Freshman League — Russ Gibson and Tom Arruda. Gibson won a foul shooting contest sponsored by the polio fund committee and was awarded a road trip with the Boston Celtics. In the spring the annual Varsity Club show was wrell patronized by our classmates. Our first year in Durfee was important in shaping our characters and preparing for the years ahead. It was a year of “firsts” for us, but in taking the hurdles as they loomed up before us we gained confidence in ourselves for the three years that stood between us and a diploma. (54 '54-'55 In the fall of '54 we noticed many new classmates — newcomers from the junior highs — and Durfee '57 was now at full strength. The football season was climaxed with a 14-6 win over New Bedford and we were proud that our classmate, Russ Gibson, was awarded a letter. Class elections brought a complete change of officers. Margaret Mary Nawrocki became our president; Janice McCallum, vice-president; Ann Baraby, secretary; Vivian Mello, SAA secretary; Hannah Cabral and Daniel Sullivan, SAA councillors. We became active in clubs and enjoyed the school's numerous activities. The Music Department presented “The Christmas Story and the Dramatic Club, “Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates.” In the DDC production of “I Remember Mama,” we were delighted to see in the cast classmates Paul Hackett, Pauline Garcia, Helen Klek and Ann Baraby. Our thoughts turned next to the Eastern Massachusetts Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, in which Durfee participated for the 11th straight year, having tied New Berdford for top Bristol County honors. Though defeated, 63-47, by a strong Quncy quntet, we were proud of the work of Russ Gibson, one of the starting five. Our class led in Principal's List honors at the end of the third term, 73 of us making the 82-or-over grade required. On the All-A List were Stephen Avramdies, Janice Borges, Irene Cardoza, Marie Corea, Ina S. Goldberg, Janice McLaughlin, Barbara Mello, Carol Rogers, Louise E. Shapiro, Madeline P. Silvia and Marie C. Teixeira, Durfee and New Bedford shared Bristol County baseball honors, with sophs Tom Arruda and Russ Gibson on the varsity. 65 '55-'56 We began our junior year with Margaret Mary Nawrocki, president; Janice McCallum, vice-president; Eleanor Arruda, secretary; Vivian Melio, SAA vice-president; Jeanne McCallum and Daniel Sullivan, SAA councillors. Names of juniors appeared regularly in the football line-up — Gibson, Andrew, Leary, McDonald, Keeley, Salvo, Bridge, Urban, No wonder we beat New Bedford again! In dramatics, Ann Curt, Paul Hackett, William Karp and Fred Levy were answering curtain calls. We became more prominent in clubs, too. John Fonseca was secretary of the band; Madeline Pereira, Commercial Club vice-president; Topper Urban, vice-president-secretary of the home room directors; Lois Hicks, Math Club vice-president; Mary Hammond, GNC secretary; Arthur Smith, Music Appreciation Club vice-president. In sports, Durfee won the New England basketball championship with juniors Arruda and Gibson among the five starters. Scholastically, Lynne Riley, Dan Sullivan, Janice McLaughlin, Ina Goldberg, Stephen Avramides and Bessie Jamoulis and many others kept our class prominent. Socially, our Junior Prom was a grand success. The close of school in June sent us on our last long high school vacation. Only one year remained — THE YEAR — long anticipated, now almost here, an exciting prospect to contemplate during the summer vacation. 66 56-'57 Margaret Mary Nawrocki leads our class as president through the final stage of the journey. We kept our other officers, promoted Viv Mello to the presidency of the SAA, and added Alice Sullivan, editor, and Mary Hammond, business manager, of the Record Book. Buddy Andrew and Russ Gibson co-captained our football team through a great season, climaxed by a 30-0 win over New Bedford, Andrew was awarded the Jake Reagan Memorial trophy. Gibson, Arruda, Andrew and Urban were basketball starters. The team won the Bristol County championship but lost to Boston College High in the Tech Tournament. Dan Sullivan represented us in Boston on Student Government Day and Janice McLaughlin was our DAR representative. Senior debate tourna- ment honors wTent to the team of Geraldine Callahan and Stephen Avramides, with Ambrose Keeley as alternate. Seventy seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society. We extended our congratulations to Stephen Avramides and Janice McLaugh- lin, named as the two highest ranking seniors. At the Awards Assembly, many of us received recognition for our work in the school's numerous activities. As graduation day draws near and the prom and gift committees are making arrangements for the final events of our high school years, we think of the past four years, the friends we made and the good times we had. We thank our teachers for their patience and understanding, promising to make them proud of us in the years ahead. 67 Vol XXXV.

The Student Council, its governing body, fosters extra-curricular activities and develops school spirit and leadership. The Council has had a particularly busy and successful year. To orientate freshmen and sophomores, the S.A.A. issued Guide Books in September, Later in the month, a very successful drive for membership was conducted. The first school dance was the Harvest Hop, and the program of activities continued with the Pigskin Hop and the Thanksgiving Victory Celebration. The Football Banquet in November, held to emphasize the accomplishments of the squad, climaxed the season. The Christmas season was highlighted by the Christmas Dance. The Mid-Winter Hop began the social activities for the New Year, and was later followed by the Spring Dance. In May the annual Officers' Banquet was held.

On an average Tuesday, Durfee students deposit between $400 and $600, To handle the work entailed, cashiers are needed to receive the numerous deposits. The procedure is quite simple. First, the student makes the deposit in his home room. Together with other deposits they are sent to the Durfee office. Deposits are then called for in an armored car, and then go to the bank. Mr. George C. Hoar, head of the commrecial department, is the advisor for the bank cashiers. 70 Left to right, first row: A. Boyko, S. Moss. Second row: P. Cwildik, P. Petit, C. Viveuos, J. Hughes.

Besides stimulating interest in the various phases of photography, the club sponsors a photographic exhibit consisting of prints from the National High School Photographic Awards Contest sponsored annually by the Eastman Kodak Company. Some of the activities are talks by professional photographers, participation in the student-operated dark room, various seasonal parties, and a combined field trip and outing at the end of the year. The officers are: Paul Petit, president; Clarence Viveiros, vice- president ; Ann Irene Boyko, secretary; Shirley Moss, program chairman; John Hughes, co-chairman.

CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club was founded in October, 1955, to foster interest in the language, literature and civilization of ancient Greece and Rome through pleasurable activities. Each meeting includes a talk on some aspect of these topics, sometimes with pictures or movies. The officers of the club for 1956-1957 are Ambrose Keeley, Jr., Consul (President); Judith Symons, Praetor (Vice-President); and Lorraine Hennessey, Censor (Secretary). The program committee consists of Nan Woltman, Curule Aedile, and Barbara Fischer and Joan Packer, Aediles. Many members of the class of 1957 have served the club usefully. Among these, Geraldine Callahan was its first Censor and Luiza Schwartz its first Curule Aedile. Jane Zawrotny helped in drafting the Constitution, and Eileen Cabral worked on the Publicity Committee. Barbara Fischer, Lois Hicks, Luiza Schwartz, Charles Ashworth, and Stephen Avramides contributed talks and entertainment on Greek and Roman topics. 73 Left to light: C. Lund, J. McLaughlin, A, A madeo. COMMERCIAL CLUB June, 1957, brings to a close many of the various activities of the Commercial Club. A program of exciting and interesting tours was enjoyed by members on the first Wednesday of each month. Beginning with the reception for new members in October until the installation of new officers in June, the club scheduled various tours of widely known business establishments. In November a bus was chartered for a trip to Bryant College in Providence where members toured the campus, met the faculty, and had refreshments in the women's dormitory. In December and January members toured the main office of the United States Post Office and the Fall River Herald News, respectively. Tours of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Fall River and the Coca-Cola Bottling Company were scheduled for February and March. In April the members held a “Guest Day.” To this social were invited not only speakers of the WAVES, WAFS, WACS, and Marines, but also commercial seniors of Case, Somerset and Westport High School. Boys toured the Latex division of the Firestone Company. Electricity was discussed when the club members were the guests of the Fall River Electric Light Company at our May meeting. The June tea for seniors was in honor of the new officers as well as the commercial faculty. 74 Left to right, first row: S. Silk, M. Sperling, K. Pollen, N. Woilman, A. Levine. Second row: B.

Mr. Mcllwame named Douglas Salmond and Adrian Levine to uphold the affirmative and William Reilly and Kalman Pollen the negative. During the year, for the first time in recent years, informal debates were held. These were intended to provide “battle experience” for new members. One such debate saw Richard Levine, Lee Philips, Sheldon Isenberg and Jeffrey Entin, handle themselves like pros. Durfee debaters were so enthusiastic in putting across their arguments this year that we doubt if the library rostrum can survive another year of pounding. Good luck to Bessie Jamoulis and Geraldine Callahan. It has been a pleasure having you on our team. tXD.C.

No, you can’t take with you your life at Durfee but you CAN take the memories, and those of the past year are ones to remember for a long long time. After a thrilling trip to Indiana University in June, those who returned to Durfee started us off with a bang. After tryouts were held, the membership was brought up to 100. President William Karp conducted the weekly meetings. Our Hallowe’en get-acquainted party gave new and old a wonderful time. You CAN take with you the memories of our plays: T.N.T., which included Finders Keepers,” “Land of Heart’s Desire,” and “Sunday Costs Five Pecos.” These were student directed by Thespians and resulted in the addition of nine new members, initiated at a banquet November 29, Ann Kathleen Curt is president of the Thespians, On December 19, THE PANDA AND THE SPY delighted a full house of children. YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU, one of America’s most rollicking comedies was presented February 14 and at the performance Lucy Dubiel was chosen “The Sweetheart of Durfee Hi,” On March 23, we sent an act from THE MAD WOMEN to the Massachusetts Drama Festival held at Beverly High School. Our final performance was the All-Durfee Talent Show celebrating the silver anniversary of the Thespians at Durfee. You CAN take with you the memories of attending the Little Theatre plays and Mt. St, Mary’s “Quality Street” as guests. Besides these activities and many others, we participated in five expeditions to Tufts University, Emerson College and University Club in Boston, and Winchester and Stoughton High Schools. 77 Left to right first row: K.

This purpose is achieved through the median of such activities as lectures, games and songs in which the individual members participate under the direction of Arthur Bakst, program chairman. The French Club, known as Le Cercle Francais, is now in its sixth year of existence. As its main project for the year, the club sponsored a play for students of French entitled, “Leave it to Suzanne.” This play, under the supervision of the faculty advisor, Mr. Carmi Belmont and of the club officers, President Louise Shapiro, Vice-President Constance Poirier, and secretary Richard Levine, was directed by Maurice Blanchette. This year the members of the club voted to donate some money to the French Department to be used in the purchase of French films and records by French composers to stimulate an interest in French art and culture among pupils. The activities of the club were terminated in June at a social given for the members. 78 Left to right, first row: R. Racette, D, Salmond, J. Ragsdale. Second row: D. Each]in, N. Harrison, H.

Officers elected were President Douglas Salmond, Vice-President Russell Racette, and Secretary James Ragsdale Monthly meetings have provided programs such as listening to German records and talks on Germany. A most interesting talk was given to the club by Barbara Fischer, a native of Germany, who talked on German foods. The first Constitution of the club was adopted during the year. 79 Left to right: E, Arruda, S. Avramides, E. Piehe. HEALTH CLUB The Health Club, a sophomore organization, is designed to promote health and sanitation throughout the school. This objective was reached when the officers conducted one of the most successful campaigns Durfee has experienced. Attractive posters were placed in the hallways and an effective display was set up in the library corridor. The theme wTas the Heart, and an appropriate assembly was organized with a heart specialist speaking. The successful outcome of the various activities of the club was made possible through the cooperation and hard work of its officers under the fine supervision of Miss Angelina B. Crispo, faculty advisor. so Left to right, first row: P. Haekett, L. Riley, R. Dorsey, L. Abbott, Second row: H. Pereira, C. Brown, D. Lincoln, P. Sludsky, H. Cabral. HILLTOP The HILLTOP, which has just completed its 35th successful year is published bi-weekly by the second year journalism students under the guidance of Mr. John T. Crowley, faculty advisor. By handling the HILLTOP, senior students are given the opportunity to put to good use the journalistic knowledge they gained in their junior year as members of the Journalism I class. As in past years, the staff has tried to keep the student body informed about important school activities, as well as relating interesting items and expressing editorial opinions that will promote the best interests of the school. The responsibility for a good paper lies not only in the hands of the writers, but also in the hands of the readers as well. This year, working under the handicap of having only eight senior staff members, the HILLTOP was a completely successful series of publications, because of the interest and cooperation of the students. 81 L.

Lyons HOME ROOM DIRECTORS The largest and most helpful organization of all school activities is the Home Room Directors, The group is made up of a boy and a girl elected from each home room at the beginning of each school year. These pupils assume the responsibililty of sponsoring S.A.A. and Junior Red Cross membership. They also assist in their home rooms by carrying out any duties required by their home room teachers and by presenting all matters of school interest. They also bring to the attention of their classmates matters of outside interest such as the food and clothes collection. In these ways the directors make themselves indispensable. This year the group has been led by President Luke Urban and Vice-President-Secretary Edward Lyons. Faculty advisor is Miss Mildred V. Carroll. 82 Left to right, first row—C. Liebman, G. Braz, H. Wilson. Second row: R. Costa, F. Barmody. JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross Council is made up of students of all classes who are interested in helping in any way many worthwhile community-wide projects. The first major function of the council each year is to conduct the annual three-day enrollment drive. Under the co-chairmanship of Richard Costa and Harold Wilson, more than 1,000 Durfee students became Junior Red Cross members this past fall. Another Durfee project initiated each fall is the Junior's Aid Program in which many of our girls devote one hour each week doing volunteer work in our local hospitals. One of our Durfee students, Paul Cwiklik, is in complete charge of “Junior Speaks , a fifteen-minute program heard once each week over a local radio station. The Red Cross Chapter House is always willing to assist by providing guest speakers and interesting films for the regular meetings, each of which is chair manned by an officer of the Durfee Council. The officers are: President Gladys Braz; Vice-President Harold Wilson; Secretary Caroline Liebman; Councillors Patricia Darmody and Richard Costa. Faculty advisor is Mrs. Mary Y. Kostas.

LIBRARY AIDES The main purpose of the Library Aides is to render service to the entire student body and to encourage the proper use of the library. Probably the most hectic time of the day for the library aide is the interval of time between 7:50 and 8:10 A.M., for it is then that many books are distributed and returned, and last minute reference work is done. Also library passes are given out. Included in the group of “pass-getters,” are those pupils who have a book report the fifth period and would like to read a book the fourth. We do not cooperate with these pupils. Others wish to do, for the following day, research on an assignment given a whole month before. Consequently, it is quite obvious that the library is of vital importance to everyone. Duties of the Library Aides also include checking the passes every period, helping a fellow student searching in vain for “Shakespeare's Way,” checking the books which are taken out and which are returned, distributing special material to discriminating members of the faculty, and, above all, keeping the library running smoothly and efficiently. The Library Aides meet once a month, but a special meeting is called occasionally. Early in the year, the members hold an informal gathering in honor of the newly elected members. Our club is exclusive in that it admits only those students who have attained honors on either the All-A or Principal's Lists. Activities also include the annual observance of Book Week, special projects and displays, a Christmas party, and some form of social gathering as a climax to a successful year. 84 Left to right, first row: D.

LITERARY CLUB Under the expert guidance of Miss Katherine Lomax, this club has broadened its scope tremendously in recent years. Not only was creative writing encouraged but also literary gems by well known authors were discussed at meetings. 85 Left to right: M. Farrington, L. Hicks, T. Nunes MATHEMATICS CLUB So you think that nineteen minus one is eighteen? On the contrary, the answer can truthfully be twenty as members of the Mathematics Club could tell you. The purpose of the club is to foster an interest in phases of mathematics which are not generally considered in the classroom. Membership is open to all sophomore, junior and senior students who have had at least one year of algebra. Meetings are held once a month when an invited speaker or club member presents a program of interest to the group. The club's activities during the current year were highlighted by a display in the library corridor, composed of projects prepared and submitted by members, and the annual mathematics tournament in April, from which the four highest scoring contestants were chosen to participate in state-wide competition. Mr. Joseph B. D'Adamo, faculty advisor, did his usual fine job of guiding the organization through another successful year. 86 Left to right, first row: N. Thomas, N. Harrison, D. McCarthy, B.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT Officers of the Band are Thomas Davol, Business Manager; Robert Poirier, Librarian; Judson Carlberg, Assistant Librarian. Officers of the Mixed Chorus are Nancy Thomas, President; Robert Binette, Librarian; Delia McCarthy, Assistant Librarian; Dale Silva, Business Manager. Officers of the Orchestra are Nancy Harrison, Business Manager; Barbara Fischer, Assistant Business Manager; John Fonseca, Concert- master and Librarian; Kathleen Burns, Assistant Librarian. The band is the first of our musical organizations to appear in public at the beginning of the school year. An outdoor assembly is held for the entire student body on the day of the first football game and from that day on for the next ten weeks the band is busy playing for football games, Armistice Day assembly and Armistice Day parade. At Christmas time, the chorus and orchestra are very active with Christmas concerts, assemblies and carols in the corridors. After Christmas, the band prepares for their appearances at the Boston Garden basketball games. After this exciting and exhausting time the whole music department settles down to prepare for Spring concerts, festivals and graduation programs. Our small ensembles, The String Quartet, String Trio, The Silvertones, Hilltop Serenaders, the Vocalaires and the Melodettes present many programs for school assemblies, P.T.A. and civic organizations. 87 MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB The Music Appreciation Club was organized four years ago to afford the students at Durfee an opportunity to become acquainted with music on all levels of listening. Meetings are held in an air of informality so as to make the absorption of the musical content of the material presented more enjoyable. The programs, prepared by club members, have varied from jazz to classical, thus giving members a knowledge of many different types of music. The officers are President Alice Guillemette, Vice-president Kathleen Burns, and Secretary Marceline LePage. Mr. Faust D. Fiore is faculty advisor. 88 Left to right: L. Bullock, R, Cornell, S. Friar NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Each year, juniors and seniors who are in the upper twenty-five per cent of their class and are outstanding in character, leadership and service, are elected to the Mu Kappa Delta Chapter of the National Honor Society. The induction ceremony takes places at a special assembly held in May to which parents and members of the senior class are invited. A coffee hour is held in the fall and a tea in the spring, two occasions looked forward to and enjoyed by all members and guests. At these events a social period with refreshments precedes an instructive talk given by a guest speaker. Throughout the year, senior members voluntarily tutor students who have been absent from school through prolonged illness. The advisors of the National Honor Society are Miss Mildred V. Carroll, Principal Ambrose F. Keeley and Miss Yolande Laliberte. 89 Left to light, first row: C. Viv.eiros, B. Mello. Second row: H. Mendonca, C. Quintal. F. Oliveira, F. Cabral, M. Leandro. PORTUGUESE CLUB Only students who are attending or have attended Portuguese classes are eligible for membership in the Portuguese Club. The objective of this club is to acquaint the members with Portuguese ways of life and traditions, to increase their knowledge of Portuguese culture, and induce them to become better citizens. Each year the club sponsors a display in the library corridor. Through the organization of parties and outings the club promotes recreation. Both the good times and the interest in a nation’s heritage prove beneficial. The club advisor is Mr. Antonio A. Serpa. 90 Left to right, first row: S. Friar, E. An uda, M. Smith, B. Fischer, J.

SANITATION COMMISSION To supervise school sanitation conditions and emphasize the responsi- bility of students in matters leading1 to better health is the purpose of the Sanitation Commission. By having all of the health activities under the control of a central group, the goal of the commission is more easily attained. One of the main functions of this group is to act as a court for students who have violated the health rules of the school. This court has the power of sentencing the guilty to punishment for their offenses. Such strict enforcement of regulations tends to minimize the number of offenders and improve conditions of neatness and cleanliness in our school. The Sanitation Commission is divided into two governing parts, namely, an Upper Council and Lower Council. The upper council consists of the president, vice-president, and secretary of the club. Also, represen- tatives from each class: three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, one freshman. All other Health Councillors, who represent their respective home rooms, comprise the lower council of the organization. This year the officers are Barbara Fischer, president; Malinda Smith, vice-president; Jane Zawrotny, secretary. Through the guidance of Miss Angeline B. Crispo, faculty advisor, the Sanitation Commission has tried to act fairly in all matters concerning the health rules of the school. 91 Left to right, first row: J. Lip son, L. Hicks, N. Harrison, A.

Back row: IL Chafitz, G. Reed, J. Hahn. SCIENCE CLUB It is important that every person should understand and appreciate the role of science in modern life. Such a broad understanding will help us to achieve a complete harmony with our environment and exercise our duties as citizens in making necessary decisions which more and more are influenced by the latest scientific discoveries. To gain an understanding and appreciation of science is the primary aim of the Westinghouse Science Club. 92 Left to right, first row: A. Robinson, J. Carvalho, M. C-abral, J. Clinton, N. Thomas.

SPEAKERS' BUREAU This year saw the Speakers’ Bureau enjoying another of its successful and profitable seasons under the capable direction of faculty advisor Miss Elizabeth L. Leonard. The membership of the organization embraces S.A.A. officers, varsity debaters and seniors singled out for proficiency in public speaking. Each member participates actively in one of the bureau's bi-monthly meetings and gains invaluable experience as a speaker or program chairman. Voice recordings are provided, the use of the rostrum is taught, and members engage frequently in panel discussions and serious and mock debates. Those who took advantage of the opportunities offered for speakers to address outside audiences this year are Ambrose F. Keeley Jr., Stephen Avramides, Harold Wilson and William K. Reilly. The chib’s activities in 1956 and 1957 spanned a myriad of informative speeches and humorous talks. Different personalities projected themselves with casual, conversational ease or dignified, formal poise. Highlight of the year occurred when the organization was addressed by guest speaker Principal Ambrose F. Keeley. The festive annual Speech Banquet in June concluded the club’s activities. 95 Left to tight, first row: R. Greenberg, D. Pingley, E. Springer, W. Pereira, W. Springer. Second row: Mr. Silva, R. Cote, H. Pankowski, N. Bottomley, J. Paulo, P. Donovan, M. Freitas. TRAFFIC SQUAD This year, as in past years, the Traffic Squad has successfully fulfilled its purpose. In order to maintain safety and orderliness in the changing of classes, this group of students has faithfully carried out its assignments. Assignments such as placing the “Do Not Enter” sign at the inter- section of Rock and Cherry Streets, the opening of doors to insure a steady flow of student traffic, and the familiarizing of students with traffic rules and regulations are essential tasks. Thus, punctuality for classes and student safety can be best maintained. Faculty Advisor is Mr. Jose Silva Jr. Members not in the photograph are R. Bouchard, R. Clarke, J. Costa, J. Driscoll, D. Luiz, J. Marques, R. O’Brien and A. Poitras. 96 Left to right, first row: M. Rodcrigucs, B. Stocklinski, L. Bullock, P, Kepple, A, Wheatley, L. Shapiro. Second row: A. Lane, J. Synnott, M. Verros, E.

WORLD HISTORY CLUB The World History Club has completed its fourth year under the guidance of Mr. Herve B. Lemaire, faculty advisor. During these years the club has carried out its purpose to increase members' interest and knowledge of world affairs of yesterday and today. Being one of Durfee’s larger organizations, the World History Club affords an opportunity for many students to participate in activities, enjoy trips, hear speakers, view slides and movies, and become aware of their responsibilities as future leaders of the United States of America and citizens of the world. The World History Club sponsored its annual trip to the United Nations in New York on November 15 and an educational excursion to Boston in the Spring. The officers of the club are Eleanor R. Fozzard, president ; Malorie Verros, vice-president; Jane E. Zawrotny, secretary-treasurer. 97 Left to right, kneeling: I), Baxendale. R. Hargraves, T. Leary, L. Urban, D. Sullivan, M. Freitas, J.

FOOTBALL Sparked by Gordon (Buddy) Andrew, Bristol County's fleetest back and highest scorer with a total of 98 points, the Urban coached gridsters set an impressive record of seven wins and two losses in '56, With a powerful, deceptive backfield and a hard hitting front wall, all under the orders of field general Russ Gibson, the Red and Black were looked at with respect by all of their opponents. The Hilltoppers ran up against their stiffest competition when they played a tough Archbishop Williams eleven at Braintree and bowed in defeat by the score of 40 to 18. Four games later Durfee fell in defeat for the second and last time to a strong Wareham team that had won 32 out of 33 games. This was a heartbreaking defeat because Durfee could have and should have outscored Wareham, In the remaining seven games the Hilltoppers met some of their most spirited rivals, such as Coyle and New Bedford. The outcome of these games can be best interpreted from the scores. Durfee won both, by scores of 12-0 and 30-0, respectively. The fact that Durfee blanked five of its nine opponents and scored 149 points against 7 scored by county opponents is proof that the unsung heroes in the line did a fine job. Luke (Topper) Urban who guided the defensive fortunes of the team can claim part credit for this fine record. He received the Trevisano Trophy as outstanding lineman on the Durfee team. The football season was climaxed by the annual football banquet and letter presentations. Seniors who received letters were: co-captains Gordon Andrew and Russell Gibson, (Andrew also received the Jake Reagan Memorial Trophy); Roland Boulay, Ronald Bridge, Michael Freitas, Gerald Hickey, Ambrose Keeley, Henry Kowalski, Timothy Leary, Barry McDonald, Peter Mersey, Donald Ray, Thomas Salvo, Jack Shapiro, Bradlee Smith, Luke Urban, Stanley Paine, manager, and Kenneth Shaker, assistant manager. 99 First row, left to right: G.

BASKETBALL This year's basketball team, four out of five of whose regulars are members of the class of '57, once again captured the Bristol County laurels and enabled Durfeeites to travel to Boston Garden for the thirteenth straight year, by winning a berth in the preliminaries of the Eastern Massachusetts Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. The Hilltoppers commenced the season by bowing to a strong Lawrence Central five and climaxed it by losing to a sure-hitting Boston College High quintet. The latter game eliminated Durfee from the tournament and shattered the hopes of optimistic Durfee rooters who thought that the Hilltoppers might go all the way for a second straight year and cap- ture the coveted New England championship. It was, however, a success- ful season despite this fact, and we can be proud of our basketball team for establishing a fine record of eight wins and two losses in county competition. Tommy Arruda was high scorer on the Durfee team with 152 points scored in county competition and runner-up was Gordon Andrew with 149 points. Arruda, Andrew and Russ Gibson were members of the Bristol County top ten scorers with averages of 15.2, 14.9 and 12.1 points per game, respectively. Senior members of the starting five were co-captains Arruda and Andrew; Russ Gibson and Topper Urban. Don Ray was on the second string. 102 Left to right; T. Amida, R. Gibson, G, Elias, J. Sheehan. VARSITY CLUB The club is composed of athletes who have been awarded a letter in one or more sports. The aim of the club is to bring about a spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship, off the field as well as on. The highlight of the club’s activities is the Annual Varsity Show, presented in the Spring under the direction of Mr. Joseph B. D’Adamo. The show features musical and dramatic skits, and novelty numbers. Crowning of the Varsity King and Queen is one of the highlights. 104 Spring Sports Because this book must be printed before the commencement of any of the spring sports, it is possible to give only the names of those who are expected to participate in them and an optimistic preview of their outcome. Baseball The baseball team is looking forward to another successful season. As Bristol County champs last year they competed in the Eastern Massachusetts Tourney. With a practically all-veteran outfield and infield the team expects to duplicate if not better the fine record of last season. Senior fnembers of this year’s anticipated lineup include Gordon Andrew, Tommy Arruda, Mike Freitas, Russ Gibson, John O’Brien and Luke Urban Jr. Track Coach Hammond will have a veteran track team of thirteen holdovers from last season to work with. Losing only one meet last season to a strong New Bedford team, the Hi 11 toppers will be working hard to better this fine record. Seniors on the team are co-captains Ron Bridge and John Esperian, Gordon Andrew, Kenny Hunt, Don Ray, Tom Salvo and Dan Sullivan. Tennis The 1957 tennis team expects to carry on the team’s excellent record. The results of last year’s successful season were 12 wins and 3 losses, and the team won the Massachusetts State Championship. It is interesting to note that in the past two years they were defeated by only one high school team; the other defeats came from the hands of more experienced prep school teams. Senior netmen include co-captains Jerry Hahn and Sid Poritz, Tom Coelho, Kenny Palmer, Larry Pollen, David Reback and Arthur Smith, manager. Golf Coach Nugent’s boys wll be trying hard this year to bring the same glory to Durfee that it has received so abundantly throughout the years from all its other sports activities. Golf is fast becoming a popular sport at Durfee and we can look forward to seeing better teams as the interest and enthusiasm grows. Senior members of the golf team are Bill Almeida, Carl Deeb, Bruce Hutchinson and Neil Sowersby. 105 Kneeling: M. Manchester, A. Boulay, J. Woltman, C. Amarantes, R. Kenney, V. Mello J. Podolski.

An organization proud of both school and team, the cheer- leaders made their debut at the annual fall pep rally. Attired in red skirts and white crew neck sweaters for football, and charcoal black puritan style outfits for basketball, the squad led capacity crowds with their skillful T-E-AM. The cheerleaders are to be commended for their perfect attendance at all home and away games, regardless of weather or transportation difficulties. The process of elimination involving outside judges is used for the selection of the cheerleaders. Many thanks to Miss Nancy Carroll for her kind guidance. 10G Left to right: D. Frain, S. Kan use, I. Medeiros, B. Greenwood. M. Donnelly, N. Ellis, M. Phenix. MAJORETTES The majorettes are always present wherever the Durfee band is seen. Their lively activities and colorful uniforms help to foster school spirit among loyal rooters. This group of seven girls works together throughout the year to produce original routines for pep rallies, football games, parades, and the basketball tournament at the Boston Garden, Another event which is looked forward to with enthusiasm is the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Festival where they compete with majorettes from schools throughout the State. To be selected as a majorette is the ambition of many Durfee girls. Each year in the spring tryouts are held for sophomore girls, all of whom must have had passing marks for the third trrm. They are selected by judges consisting of two teachers and the present members of the majorette squad. The head majorette directs the training and assists in the choice of uniforms, purchased by the individual girls. The selection of head majorette takes place in May and the present junior members are eligible. Judges comprising two teachers and one outside person select the girl they feel best qualified. At the football banquet each girl receives a D with baton insignium for her work during the year. 107 Left to right: P. Campos, D. Gardula, D. Hutchinson. GIRLS' NUMERAL CLUB The Girls' Numeral Club, under the direction of Miss Virginia Frost, is an organization devoted to the promotion of girls’ sports. The club is composed of 55 girls who like and enjoy athletics. They are chosen according to their participation in the yearly sports events, by a majority of votes, and by their cooperation, leadership ability, dependability, and enthusiasm for sports. In September members of the G. N. C. volunteered their services as Gym Leaders, to assist with physical education activities. To qualify as a “Gym Leader”, a girl must be either a junior or a senior. The girls are chosen for their leadership quality, their dependability, willingness to work, and their ability to direct a class when the teacher is not present. Four stars must be earned each year to obtain membership in the club. They may consist of either one red and three gold or one gold and three red stars. These can be earned by active participation in basketball, volleyball, badminton, bowling, gym leading, refereeing and by committee work. Numerals and awards are given if these four stars are earned and also a gold basketball to seniors earning these stars. While sports are emphasized many social gatherings such as the Alumnae Reunion and the Spring Outing are part of the club’s activities. 108 Left to right: J. Wilkinson, L). Robidoux, A. Savard, M.

GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL The Girls' Varsity Basketball team is a member of the Narrangansett Interscholastic League. Players are chosen by Miss Virginia Frost, coach. Twelve girls make up the Varsity team which consists of six forwards and six guards. Ten games are scheduled to be played during the season, five at home and the other five away. This year the team won six of its ten games, and was tied for second place with Case High School and Dominican Academy. At the playoffs held at Case High School, Durfee was defeated by Westport High School. The Narry basketball crown was captured by New Bedford High School by nipping Somerset in the championship playoff. New Bedford won the New Bedford Division title and Somerset led the field in the Fall River Division. All the teams participating in this playoff and all coaches and referees later enjoyed a banquet. 109 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Record Book staff is grateful to all whose cooperation was so important in assembling the material for the publication. We would mention particularly our classmates, who responded promptly to the call for glossies and information, and the faculty advisors and officers of clubs and other activities, for group photographs and write-ups. We are especially indebted to the Fall River Herald News for our sports action shots and group photographs of athletic teams. We appreciate, too, the service rendered by the several business organizations — the photographers, the engravers, the printers and the binders. Our thanks go also to our advertisers, whose patronage helped reduce the cost of the publication to the student. Our final word of appreciation is for our faculty advisors, Miss Katherine L. Hogan and Mr. John T. Crowley, who graciously guided us through the task of producing this book for our classmates. no SUCCESS TO THE GLASS OF 1957 LORINC STUDIOS 392 SPRING STREET i Opposite St. Mary's Cathedral Telephone OS 8-5022 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1957 DURFEE HIGH BOOSTERS CLUB Organized-----1954 Graduates .. - Congratulations on Your Successful Past • To You in the Years Ahead INSURE the Future — Work Diligently Francis E.
