John Bapst High School - Bapstonian Yearbook (Bangor, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1946 volume:

Q I 1 pi FOREWORD The first issue of the BAPTsToNIAN comes off the press with two main con- tentions: namely, that a year book should contain a factual record of the year and its activities, and that such a record should be arranged in as pleasing a manner as possible. Concerning these points, the book must be its Own witness. We have deliberately been sparing in our words. We did not want a volume that was a victim of verbosityg but, rather, one that would be concise, compact, and worthy of congratulation.

Nelligan and the Rev. John F. Nelligan whose interest in our undertakings and achievements has ever been kindly and sympathetic. whom We cherish as reverend pastors, prudent coun- selors, staunch supporters and loyal friends, we, the Class of 1946, respectfully dedicate the BAPTsToN1AN,' as a mark of abiding gratitude for their kindness of the past and as a pledge of our fervent prayers that God may hless them for the future. GREETINGS In the eighteen years that john Bapst has been established, there have been five principals in the boys, department and three principals in the girls, depart- ment. The past principals were notified of the publishing of the BAPSTONIAN, and we are printing here their messages to the faculty and to the students. Sister Mary Florence, first principal of the girls, department, is now deceased. Sister Mary Callista is ill, and we did not think it wise to contact her at this time. We are thankful to these former heads at Bapst and wish them continued success in their respective occupations. Dear Friends, I am glad to know that the students of john Bapst High School are to issue a 1946 annual. Annuals are always commendable for they are remi- niscences of pleasant school days and cherished friendships. john Bapst students have always been loyal and devoted to their alma mater, to her traditions, and to the teachers, who have directed them through high school years. Some of my fondest friendships have become even more estimable through a continual correspondence with the alumni and friends of john Bapst. That the 1946 annual may be to the senior class a joyous and pleasant reminder of happy high school days is the sincere wish of Yours devotedly, Bnormzn ADALBERT, C.F.X. Dear Students of John Bapst, It is with great pleasure that I learn of the progress john Bapst is making as a first rate Catholic High School. Your scholastic and athletic achievements have long been widely known. This year you have added journalism to your extra-curricula activities. Congratulations to you on the success of your paper, THE CRUSADER. Such a publication can noticeably increase the spirit of your school, if you keep the paper honest, interesting, and inspirational. Also best wishes for success in your new venture, your year book. The hard work you put into it will be amply repaid in later years when you go back over its pages, and relive the joyous days of your high school career. Congratulations to the class of 1946 and may you ever live up to the ideals set for you at john Bapst! BROTHER FLAVIAN, C.F.X. Dear Students, It is indeed a pleasure to send a message to the 1946 edition of the BAPSTONIAN. It is most natural that a former principal of john Bapst should retain a keen interest in all its activities. Distance from that institution can- not lessen oneis affection for the nobility of its idealsg the passing of time cannot dim oneis memory of its unique spirit. Any person who has had an intimate share in the life of john Bapst must treasure the happy memory of such an association. Cod has indeed blessed john Bapst High during the years of its exist- ence. It is with deep satisfaction that I observe the progress that has been made in the various Helds of educational endeavor. It is with just pride that I note a constant strengthening of the spirit that is characteristic of john Bapst. It is with a feeling of gratitude that I see the lofty purposes of the founders of that institution being achieved by a faculty dedicated to the sublime aims of Catholic education. To the members of the class of 1946, I offer my congratulations. May you be blessed with success in the place God has destined for you in life. May you exemplify in your lives the best traditions of john Bapst. REV. TnoMAs M. NELLIGAN 4, . , Greetings! May the yearbook serve to keep fresh the memory of the many happy and fruitful experiences of high school years! Bnorrmn PASCAL, C.F.X. BROTHER SAMUEL,S MESSAGE The students who volunteered their time in the preparation of this ANNUAL wanted to give you a lasting souvenir of your school days at john Bapst. The pictures of your classmates will remind you of happy, congenial companionshipsg the group pictures, of school activities maintained and promoted for your social, physical and intellectual welfare. May the memories revived remain forever green, may they rejuvenate your spirit and strengthen your loyalty. VV e would not have it otherwise. But more especially, we do wa11t this ANNUAL to keep alive something more tangible and precious than mere scholastic and sporting activities. XVe Want it to remind you in the uncertain years ahead of the Catholic traditions and truths which are your heritage and which you have been called upon to exemplify in your conduct. It was these abiding traditions and truths, so vitally necessary for your temporal and eternal peace and contentment that actuated your parents and co1'eligionists to build john Bapst High School. All other matters are transi- tory, the truths of religion are unchangeable and eternal. Unless you are faith- ful, then, to Cod and to His Commandments, unless you show and lead the Way by virtuous living to men and women in darkness and doubt, you are untrue to your Christian heritage, the sacrifices of your priests and parents, your teachers and benefactors will be, insofar as you are concerned, wasted. Let this ANNUAL remind you of your solemn and sacred duty to win eternal salvation for yourself and to promote, by your example, the kingdom of God in the hearts of your fellowmen. Tn the Graduates, Your day is here, Catholic women and girls. Public life needs you. These words of Our Holy F ather, Pope Pius XII, spoken in an address to the Catholic women of Italy, are a challenge to every American girl. During your four years at john Bapst, you have learned the real meaning of woman- hood, and the important part which woman has ever played in the history of mankind. Until recent years, it was generally agreed that the place of woman was in the home and nowhere else. Today, her place is indeed in the home, but circumstances have made it imperative for the modern woman to move into public life as well. It is your duty, then, as Catholic girls, and especially as graduates of a Catholic school, to take your rightful place in the world as it is today. The question is not that woman should abandon the home, but rather that she should be ready to combat the evils which threaten to destroy the sanctity of the home. You must, therefore, be aware of these evils. That is, you must be well-informed, intelligent Catholic women. Far from ending on graduation day, your education is just now be- ginning. The day is more fittingly called Commencement Day. To use once more the words of Our Holy Father, woman has today an intellectual and doctrinal mission, to study and expound the place and role of woman in society, her rights and duties. Only after this study will Catholic women be ready to carry out their second mission, that of direct actionf, Your mission is a lofty one, Craduates of 1946. Under the guidance of Mary, the Perfect NVoman, may you become real women. the restorers of home, family and societyv.

MYLES PHILIP M CMANUS Although Myles McManus was in Bapst but two years, there is a special reason why he should be singled out. Myles, a fine student and athlete, left John Bapst at the end of his sophoniore year to study for the Xaverian Brotherhood at Saint joseplfs Iuniorate in Peabody, Massachusetts. Since then, he has gone to the Sacred Heart Novitiate at Fortress Monroe, Virginia where he is drawing closer to his desired goal as a Brother of Saint F ancis Xavier. We all know that it won't be long now, and we hope that some day he will be back at John Bapst on the other side of the desk! e N M EMORIAM Death has claimed the lives of three memhers of the class of 1946. ln these pages We pay trihute to them and to the lovefl ones they left hehind.

BE TRUE Now that we are about to leave Iohn Bapst most of us will no longer be un- der the supervision of the religious teachers, Sisters and Brothers. Instead we shall be on our own, and it is up to us to take up where teachers left off. We have a precious gift in the Catholic religion, and it must not be lost. Our religious duties we must perform without the prompting of our teachers. If we have been instructed well, and we know we have, we will remain true Catholics and good citizens. We shall be tempted many times to deny our faith, but we should re- member that the loss of wealth, power, and fortune are but trifling compared to the loss of our souls. A INTO THE SCHOOL OF LIFE To everyone, everywhere, and at all times, the days of graduation are filled with some feeling of regret and with determination to do well in one's life work whether it be further study or employment. For years, the student has believed that the old life is over and a new life has begun. He thinks that the life of the student and the life in college or at work are widely diHerent. However, the transition is not so abrupt as usual, the new life is but a continuation of what has gone on before. If the student applies himself to his studies and observes the discipline of the school, he will be well equipped to battle the problems of life. All the graduate must remember is that he should do the day's work as well as he can. He should benefit from the instruction he has received, that is, if he has been faithful in his school days. The responsibilities of the student in high school are not great. It is after- wards that the graduate realizes the seriousness of life. He has been with those of his own age and not until he goes forth into the world does he meet the vari- ous kinds of people. Success will come if preparation has been sufficient. The future, to everyone, is unknown. It is only the present that matters. It is what we actually do that counts, not what we plan to do. One may have hopes and aspirations, but they avail nothing unless they are translated into deeds. The afternoon of graduation lengthens into the eve of life. School days that once seemed so long have become a memory, but the student will always treasure them as the basis for the great school of life. THE NEW ALUMNI As we, the class of nineteen hundred forty-six, leave forever the well-known walls of john Bapst, we must remember that we should always be true repre- sentatives and products of Catholic education. We are marked in a way that secular education cannot copy. Whatever We do, good or bad, will be but a re- flection on our Catholic education. Thus we should not only be careful but proud of this reputation. With our departure, we seniors are not cut off entirely from Iohn Bapst. We have an Alumni Association which is for us. We should join and take an active part in it as others have. VVe should always be shining examples for the future Alumni to come. 12 SAVING Many of us are planning to work this summer. How many of us, though, intend to save part of our earnings? Perhaps we've never pondered long enough on this thought. A great number of us plan to attend college. Wouldn't it be something to say that we contributed even a little bit toward our education? This is possible by putting away some of our pay each week. Naturally we .should have an object in our saving. If we have no plans for college, surely every one of us has dreams of taking a real trip some day. Maybe we have a yen to go to South America, Paris, Italy or any other place which World War II has brought so vividly to our eyes. Remember that maroon convertible that fasci- nated us when the new cars came out this year? Well, it's ours if we save our money! By saving our money iniiation, which is threatening the country, will be curbed. A very iine investment would be buying Victory Bonds. By buying bonds, we would have money in years to come. Let's take our jobs seriously this summer and save our money so that we may better prepare for the future that awaits us. UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION Formed only four sho1't years ago, the United Nations Organization is today a growing and vital concern whose unknown lies ahead. Will it be a glowing monument to the willing cooperation of the nations of the world or will it, like the League of Nations, be but a broken house of ideals? The United Nations Organization has the advantages which the League lacked. With these encour- agements, the UNO seems assured of success. But even now the members upon whom the success of the Organization de- pends are fighting and quarreling among themselves, giving forth an air which bides no good. If this bickering among themselves goes too far, there will be little hope for success. The Great Powers and the Little Powers should, there- fore, put aside their differences and work together. They must realize that this Organization is manis last chance for peace. They must either take it or leave it. We pray it will be the former! 13 I I I I I I I I I i I I I . I .

Cecilia came to Bapst from Winn two yeas ago. ller sweet and unaffected manner has won for her a host of friends. This fact was proven when Cecilia was elected treasurer of the senior class. She has always been too busy to attend so- cial functions because of her weekend excursions to her hometown, NVinn. May success always be yours, Cecilia. lima.-Im ANNE BARTON Silence is golden. lu her quiet and unassum- ing manner, Barbara has won for herself a host of friends. As Romeo goes with Iuliet so Barb and Mary llyder have been insepar- able during their high school career. Barbara was presi- dent of the class during her iunior year and has con- sistently beeu on the honor roll. Cood luck, Barbg we know a rosy future awaits vou. CIDIIINNIC CIIARLENE BONNEAU Whose little lzorly lodged a mighty mind. As the saying goes, the best things come in small packages. We think that Connie is one of those Kbest things . Connie has taken part in school activities and has been interested in all class affairs. Connie has been a member of the school orchestra for three years, displaying her tal- ents on the piano. A pros- perous futurc beckons you, Conniel CIIIARLENI-I LUCIA BROCHU Women of few words are the best womenf, Charlene took part in the Dramatic Club's production Shuvbert' Alley during her junior year, and has served as secretary of the Dramatic Club this year. We wonder if the cafe will survive next year without Charlene as its expert cashier. Char- lene's future can't help but be rosy with her pleasant manner and even disposi- tion. RUSSELL LEO BAKER In his tongue is the law of kindness. An eager advocate of the outdoor life, Rusty has nevertheless found plenty of time to keep up in his studies. Rusty has kept us all interested with his hunt- ing experiences and has seldom come from a trip empty-handed. With his pole-vaulting, he gained many points in the P. V. C. track meets. A future bank- er, he'll probably cash our checks some day. ROBERT Louis BARRY Let thy words be fewf, Bobby has been our class golf enthusiast and once started on the snbiect there has been nothing that could stop him. Despite this great liking for golfing, he has not let it interfere with his scholastic duties. Always eager to help, Bobby has been able to render infor- mation on practically any subject. Bobby's plans are for higher education. IKOBERT WILLIAM BRANGWYNNE, Jn. A merry heart makes a cheerful countemzncef' Always cheerful and a willing worker, Butch has been active in everything. Although not too tall, his aggressiveness and courage in all sports have gained him the respect and admira- tion of all. A fine scholar, he is one to whom Bapst can point with pride. What- ever he does, one may be sure he will always live up to John Bapst standards. WILIREIJ IOSEPH BROOKS Virtue is indeed its own reward. Brooksie is an easy going fellow but, unlike most of that type, he can always be counted upon to do his share and do it well. His pensive character is em- blematic of his whole per- sonality. His name has consistently appeared on our honor roll. It is with com- plete coniidence that we predict his success in the college days ahead of him. FRANCES MARTHA BROCHU And still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all she knewf, Frances measures all of five feet one. Alertness and agility are her trademarks. During her senior year, Frances has wbeen secretary of her class and a zealous worker in the cafeteria. There is never a dull mo- ment with Frances around, and her quickness has had the whole class astounded. We are certain that success will accompany all her en- deavors. HELENE MARIE CAMERON From every blush that lrindles in thy cheeks to revel in the roses. Helene has been our bubble of serenity for four years. A diminutive lass of peaceful and ladylike com- posure, Helene enjoys people as much as they enioy her. She has been our promotor of good will and is always trying to relieve someone of worries. Her gentle laughter has proved to be her salient point. Helene has always been serious at study and merry at play and is secre- tary bound. INEZ LOUISE COMER An ounce of mirth is worth a pound o sorrow. Inez is a morn optimist and refuses to worry about the daily problems of life. She has traveled around during her high school ca- reer in a casual and easy- going manner. Inez has alf ways been at ease and is the keeper of a placid disposition. At all times she is willing to take a back seat and watch. Inez's goal is the business world. DORINDA ELIZABETH CONNELLY The little sweet cloth kill much bitterness. The prefect of St. Iohn's Sodality is symbolic of the greatness of this society. Affability and complacency accompany her every work. Dorinda has been an honor student throughout her four years at Bapst. She has gained many friends through her charming and lady-like ways. Life can't help but be good to one of its best products. FREDERICK GERARD DAICLPZ Believe that you have and you have itf' Freddy has spent much of his time in class being quiet. However, when he has said something, it has been worthy of note. Never having very much trouble with scholastic affairs, Freddy has always managed to comc through on examina- tions. Freddy plans to cntcr business college when he graduates. NVQ- are wishing him success there. ALPHONSE IosEPII IJESROSIENS Mind moves mattcrf' Punch has shown football enthusiasts what really can be done with 175 pounds of brawn and determination.

RICHARD FRANCIS F onn Opinion in good men is but knowledge in the rnakingf' Dick can justly be 'tagged our class jester. Always ready to make classes in- teresting with his quick wit and good humor, hc has won for himself a host of friends at Bapst. Dick has filled a different class office each year, and he has served well in each. He plans to become a veterina- rian, and we're wishing him best of luck in his profession. MANY JOAN CUSHINI.-KN Her frowns are fairer far than smiles of other maidens are The girl with rippling laughter is our own Mary Joan. Alert at all times. words and laughter come easily to her. Mirlh is her constant companion. Aside fronl her gaietv she lends lnany minutes to the serious problems of life. XVhen things appear dull, Mary Joan can always furnish pep in large quantities. Our classroom wouldn't have been complete without her. -JOAN Cr:Nr:v1Evr: DAv1'1'r joy rises on her, like a smnnzerls mornf' Joan came to us from Garland Street Junior fligh and has livened no end room 207 with an account of amusing incidents that could only happen to her. ller interest is all in the school and she has never failed to lend assistance when it has been needed the most. Bapst will cer- tainly miss the spirited per- sonality of Joan. Gr-:n'rnUniQ lhlAllY Downs Frierulship is the chain of gold shaped in Coffs all perfect mold. Gertrude has been per- haps one of the most scrions girls in the class of 19-46. She has attended Bapst for two years and has been a silent but vital addition. Unohtrusive and generous, she has blended in a shy manner with her classmates. Gertrude can always he de- pended upon to perform the smallest task cheerfully. Good luck is what we are wishing for you. Gertrude. Ei.Llf:N lSAl3l'ILl.E Dunnv With the smile that was child-like and bland. Our own bundle of per- sonality and vitality gave her all as leader of the cheerleading squad this year. Ellen has taken major parts in the Dramatic Club's productions during her inn- ior and senior years. Her cheery disposition and sunny manner have been well in her favor. Ellen's weaknesses are green con- vertibles and black sedans. Ileumzrvr FRANCIS HARDY Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Sincere in everything he has done, Herby's willing- ness to learn and his de- termination to succeed have won him the respect of all his classmates. A varsity football player, he came all the way from Great Pond to attend Bapst. Herby has sailed through all his sub- jects near the top of the class. He plans to enter college engineering after receiving his diploma. THCDLIAS RAYINIOND HOGAN 'Speech is great, but silence is greater. Jolm Bapst won't be the same without Ray's infec- tious grin. Always with a smile on his face, Ray sel- dom lets gloom overtake him. Never has he worried except possibly before a test. Ray hopes to enter business college if the Navy doesn't need him. Heill get there even if he is a little late. We of 1946 just know that he will. JAMES Louis JAMESON Silence is the prefectest herald of ioyf' Now we meet the smallest member of 4A, little Louis, Small maybe, but he's made it work to his advantage. Never letting his size hin- der him, Louis has taken active part in intramural basketball with more than mediocre. success. After he graduates, Louis plans to enter college. Knowing Louis, we know he'll do his best for John Bapst. DoNALn Josizm-I KING A sound mind in a sound body. Fuzzy is our class vale- dictorian. He has been tops in all studies during these four long years. A class officer every year, Don also Played in the school or- chestra. There are two things in particular that we shall remember about Fuzzy, and they are his uncanny ability to solve every type of problem imaginable and his willingness to help those who needed help. ANN Fonn Her wit, her mirth, her smile are all beknownf' Brewer's contribution to Bapst is Ann. 'She has only been with us one year, but during that time she man- ifested her dramatic ability by taking part in the Dra- matic Club's production. Shiny Nose. Quick and determined in every action, Ann never ponders a sub- ject too long at a spell. Constant anxiety is ever surrounding her, and she definitely is an enthusiast for life and fun. 'FHERESA VALENTINE GALLANT The soul of man is larger than the sky. Theresa has been our practical miss with the quiet nature and unruffled poise, an aid in any class- room. She is one of those rare persons who is an ever- willing listener. She has often been caught clay- dreamintg, dreams Off her future which she keeps to herself.

CWENDOLYN MARIE IANSSON Her voice was ever soft mul low, an excellent thing in a woman. Next we present the presi- dent of the Dramatic Club. Through the capableness and efficiency of Gwen, the club has lived up to its standards of the previous year. Gwen has been an energetic worker on the ad- vertising staff of The Cru- sader as well as on the yearbook. Her reticent and appealing manner has been a welcome asset to the class of 1946.

BOYS' CLASS HISTORY Un Tuesday morning, September 8, 1942, sixty smiling boys dressed in their Sunday clothes entered john Bapst High School for the first time as freshmen. From that day on, we underwent the subtle transformation from just a bunch of kids to high school students under the surveillance of Brother Luke, C.F.X. and Brother Medard, C.F.X. Their most difficult job was to harness us to the routine life of john Bapst, to teach us to account for our actions, and to help us learn self-discipline. The hours of punishment awarded us for late-comings and mis- deeds remain one of our most painful memories. But our teachers, though stffct at times, were fair. After a month of our new life as freshmen, we were nearly all acquainted and we easily saw a few forging to the front in academics. Be- ing freshmen was fine, but we still longed for the happy day when we would be- come seniors. Freshman year went by quickly, and we found ourselves sophomores the following September. As sophomores, under the guidance of Brother Canice, C.F.X. and Brother Martinian, C.F.X., we took a more active part in the school activities and some of us slowed down a little scholastically in order to get full enjoyment of the new social life. Study periods were spent without too much ambition. The many themes required in English kept our literary, ambitions to the front as we tried to prove to Brother Medard that we really were literary masters. Some members of our class became prominent on the football and basketball teams, while others mastered the arts of speech and debate. Many changes took place before we gathered again for our junior year. Many had departed to serve in the armed forces and for various reasons, varying from academic deficiency to physical disability, some left the class of 1946. A few changed courses when they learned they were -better suited for the opposite course. Those who were left, however, were guided by Brother Victor, C.F.X. and Brother Leo Francis, C.F.X. as homeroom teachers. Our lessons became more difficult as we delved into the mysteries of chemistry, shorthand, book- keeping, and aeronautics. VVe learned, too, that we had actors in our midst when several members of our class did so well in that grand Dramatic Club presentation of THE SONG OF BERNADETTE. Social highlights of the year were the Dfamatic Club Formal and our own junior Prom at which time john Mooney was crowned as our king. We selected and received our class rings and before we realized it, our junior year was over and we were about to become the school kings as members of the senior class. The long awaited moment had arrived. After three years of work and anticipation, we entered school in the fall of 1945 as seniors. The world was at peace, and we no longer had to fear the armed forces whisking away our class- mates. Thirty-four boys emerged victorious over the straight and narrow path of freshman, sophomore, and junior years and accepted the exalted position of john Bapst plutocrats with Brother Dennis Joseph, C.F.X. as our adviser. We soon discovered that our responsibilities were great. We formed a Senior Council to instill order in the more than two hundred underclassmen, and we received the praise of the faculty for our efforts. Studies were not over, however, and we found it more difficult than ever to concentrate on our lessons, but we knew they had to be done as we all found different ways to get a passing mark and com- plete the last lap of the race to receive our diplomas. As the number of days dwindled down, we began to realize that we would soon be leaving john Bapst and entering the world of good Catholics and good Americans. Now june 16, 1946 is almost here, that day toward which we have been moving since the fall of 1942. It will be a new kind of feeling that we shall experience upon grad- uation, one of our hard-earned achievements, anxious to venture forth to the outside world, yet reluctant about leaving our four-year home. It will be that sort of feeling that brings a lump to the throat, but the lump will be welcome because it will be what we have worked for these years-graduationl 26 Some of us will leave Bapst to settle down and bc married, others will enter the peacetime army, while the rest will strive for a higher education level in the various colleges and universities -of the land. But no matter what we choose as our profession in life, we shall all try to fulfill our religious and civic obligations as graduates of john Bapst High School. GIRLS, CLASS HISTORY A priceless heritage is being left for the annals of the glorious and immortal pages of the history ot jolm Bapst by those priceless seniors of the class of 1946. ll he word priceless', may be interpreted the way the seniors themselves would prefer it or it may, and probably will, be interpreted the way the students who are in the know about the seniors would prefer it. But in order to be just, we shall present the case in a simple, sincere, and upright manner that is so charac- teristic of each and ever senior: l The September of iff!-12 found a good representation of both commercial and classical students ready to start the high school term by willingly accepting the homework assigned by Sister Mary Dolorosa and Sister Mary Raymond, homeroom teachers. These green freshmen quickly took up the high school tradition so thoughtfully left to them by yesterdayis seniors. Scholastically, traditions were upheld by the brain of the class, Mary Alice O,Leary. Shirley Madore turned on her speaking ability during this term. The freshmen outdid the seniors in a war stamp drive, and we were treated to a party by them. It was duing this first year that we new students got a taste of the guillotine treat- ment commonly referred to as midyears. The next September found our class with a few newly acquired personages most earnestly interested in furthering their education. This was the year that Caesar played such an important part in the lives of Sister Mary Loyola's sopho- more classicals while Sister Mary Eulaliais school loyalty and Stearns' visitors left the commercial girls happy. We now advance to the year '44-'45 where we find the girls busy sewing miniature vestments as a Religion project. Ellen-Marie Polyot represented the junior class on the cheerleading squad while Gwendolyn jansson became queen of the junior Prom. The girls' pride was justified when Mary Alice O'Leary was chosen to represent the school in the Constitution contest. During this year our school days were made more illustrious by the arrival of Miss Profita. A Dramatic Club was organized, and its first presentation was the renowned play, THE SoNc OF BERNADETTE. The girls worked extra hard during their junior year to satisfy the wants of Sister Mary Raymond and Sister Mary Pius. H The following year was the fulfillment of all dreams. Seniors at last! The first day, Sister Mary Teresita and Sister Mary Monica greeted the eager girls. A new school paper, THE: CRUSADEH, was issued, and the seniors were repre- sentedg in fact, they were practically the brains, but that is for you to judge. The cheerleading squad was led by Ellen Duddy with Carolyn Mann. Eleanor and Ellen-Marie Polyot helping out to the best of their lung capacity. During the month of November, Frances Brochu finally summoned enough courage and spoke at an assembly, while Pauline johnson made the librarian search every nook and corner .trying to decide whether Henry Clay was born in 1777 or 1776. This year also brought to john Bapst Sister Mary Carmel who was named prin- cipal of the Girls, Department succeeding Sister Mary Callista who had served faithfully in that post. Sister Carmel proved to be a most progressive and won- derful individual and a delightful discinlinarian. Under the excellent guidance of Sister Carmel a delightful Mother-Daughter tea was held in April. Leaving these few indelible thoughts on your minds, the class of 1946 bids a fond farewell to the other classes reminding them that the top is not reached by a single bound but viala ladder that is mounted rung by rung. . 27 BOYS, CLASS PROPHECY As we tur11 our radar controlled chronometer toward the year 1960, we find many new developments in this atomic age of the future. Our assignment being to l'0CiltC all jolm Bapst graduates of the class of 1946, we go immediately to Robert Barry, National Open Colf Champion, who has kept in constant contact with all members of the class. Bob first tells us that his bosom schoolboy friend, D011 Rogers, retired from twelve years of sea duty, is spending most of his time in the night club he recently opened in Bangor. Al Sheehan is his doorman and chief bouncer, having gained much valuable experience from his days at the Opera House, while john McCarthy is master of ceremonies at the evening entertainments. Bob tells us that we can seek further information from Don Richards, Managing Editor of the Commercial. Arriving at the Commercial office, we sight Louis jameson who is the head of the advertising department there. Louis takes us in to see Mr. Richards who tells us that news of three forty-Sixers is appearing in the evening edition. Buying the paper, we first read that Dick Martin, world famous test pilot, has just flown the atomic powered jet plane, Aj-46, to a record speed of 1,946 miles per hour. Next we notice that Robert Moran, representative to Congress from the third Maine district, has announced that he will be a candidate for Governor at the next election. Turning to the sport section, we see that Coach Bill Rivers has just piloted his john Bapst Crusader basketball team to its third consecutive New England championship. Leaving the Commercial, we walk down Main Street where we notice the Smith Dental Laboratories which, we learn, are operated by Neil Smith, noted dental technician. We also pass the Professional Building which houses the offices of Dr. Virgil L. King, DDS, Dr. Thomas D. Trainer, M. D., and Dr. Richard F. Ford, DVM. We also pass the firm of McAloon, Hardy and O'Brien, contracting engineers who have recently drawn up the plans for the erection of a huge new auditorium for the city of Bangor. We continue on and at the top of State Street hill we see joe's Fish Market which is operated -by joe Rice. just next door, we stop in at Whitty's Delicatessen where we can easily see that Hugh Whitty is proprietor of one of the most modern delicatessens in the state. Returning to john Bapst, we learn that Al Desrosiers is head football coach while he teaches French as a sideline and that Freddy Daigle, Bangor business- man, has just been named president of the Alumni Association. While in the office, Bob Brangwynne, noted sports columnist, enters to interview the basket- ball champs. Bob tells us that two other members of the class of 1946 are-in the world of sports. These are Russ Baker and Ed Willett who have established themselves as two of the best hunting and fishing guides in the state of Maine. Our next stop is at the University of Maine where we find Clifton Moors is an instructor in French Essay. We also learn that Alfred Leavitt is head of the Language Department and instructor in Latin composition. We find, too, that Donald King has established a fine record for himself as Dean of the College of Technology. Continuing on to Old Town, we are very much surprised to see the newly established Cross and Hogan Trust Company which is operated by George Cross and Raymond Hogan who live in Bangor but run their business in thc Canoe City. Coming from the bank, we are stopped by Albert Willett, president of the Penobscot Fibre Company, where asbestos suits are made for rocket ship pilots. Al tells us that Gerald King may resign his post as City Manager and accept an offer from Holy Cross to coach football there. On the return trip to Bangor, we notice that Wilfred Brooks has opened a huge scientific farm at Veazie, and Arthur Provost operates the Provost Motor Company where all makes of airplanes are sold and repaired. In Bangor we look up Dan Flanagan who is at the present time general manager of the New England offices of the Coca-Cola Bottling Plants. Thus we leave the class of 1946 in its successes and triumphs in this atomic year of 1960. 28 GIRLS, PROPHECY QEDITOPCS NOTE: Ten years have elapsed since the graduation of the class of 1946. , The boys and girls, now matured men and women, have ascended the road of life and have chosen definite paths to follow. Frances Brochu, class secretary, has compiled a few notes and has made startling discoveries regarding the whereabouts of the members of the class.j Barbara Barton whose compositions had the class spellbound is now writing professionally for the Ladies' Home journal. Ellen-Marie Polyot, the iirst lady referee, has opened a gymnasium for women in Brewer. She also gives boxing lessons. The beauty parlor operated by Charlene Brochu and Leona Silver is doing famously under their expert guidance. Helene Cameron, once employed at Woolworth's, is the present owner and has enlarged the store as far as Liggettis Drug Co. Ellen Duddy, former dazzling cheerleader, is superintendent of the Rest Home in Brewer. VVe all remember Pauline Iohnsonis aspirations toward the world of science, she is now laboratory technician at her alma mater, the University of Maine. Garland Street Pharmacy, one of the most interesting places in Bangor as far as Mary joan Cushman and Carolyn Mann are concerned, has been renovated into the Cushman-Mann Cut-Rate for men only. Eleanor Polyot has finally graduated from ticket sales girl to secretary of the M.6zP. Theatres, Inc. Ioan Davitt has been transferred from the Bangor telephone office to the office at Castine and is very much interested in her work. Barbara Nelli- gan is employed by the Northeast Airlines as a hostess and entertains the pas- sengers frequently by singing in that mellow voice of hers. The telephone com- pany has just received a new addition, Frances Hamel. She completely sways the listener when she lltt6l'S the word, hello,'. Alice O,Leary, the brain of 1946 and a graduate of Regis College, is teaching Dramatics in Hollywood, California. jean Stockwell, R. N., is taking temperatures at the Eastern Maine General Hos- pital. In a few weeks, she will advance to the supervisoris position. A new old- age home has been opened in Bradley under the guidance of Teresa Gallant. The enchanting voice of Daisy Nichols is bei11g heard bi-weekly over the national network of the United States. Louise McGrath, famed opera singer, is booked for a year to give recitals in Carnegie Hall, New York. Dinah Shore, who has retired from her career, has been succeeded by Geraldine Sproul. Florence Martin has been voted the best hat designer of the year and because of her artistic ability, she has been offered a position in Paris contriving the latest models of hats. The telephone company is doing a great business. Corinne B-onneau and Gwendolyn Jansson are operators there. If you get a wrong number, you know where the trouble is. Charlotte Smith, a graduate of Farmington State Normal School, is teaching mathematics at the University of Maine and still carries the Bangor Daily News with her. Ann Ford and Gertrude Dowe are employing their talents by teaching short- hand and typing at the Maine School of Commerce. The Chamber of Com- merce has a most efficient young lady as its secretary. It is none other than Cecilia Albert. Rose McNally displayed her debating ability in high school and is the first affirmative speaker in the International Forum. The question of the month is: RESOLVED: SHOULD BANGOR REMOVE ITS CAR TRACKS? Through extensive research, it has been discovered that lane Pooler is a labora- tory technician. That makes two from the class of 1946. More power to them. Nursing seemed to be the predominant profession for the class. Madeline Parady is nursing at St. Maryis Hospital in Lewiston, while Marv Ryder and Dorinda Connelly are imparting their talents at the Mercy Hospital in Portland. Shirley Madore has opened a dress salon on 5th Avenue, New York, after graduating from the National School of Design. Inez Comer and Viola St. Germain are hair dressers and in time intend to set up a business all their own. With their ambition they can't help but get ahead. Nadine Pelletier has settled in Paris with Bill and with only vague thoughts of the Queen City of the East. Paris Must Be Paris Once Again, as the song goes. Dorothy Rankin is enthusiastically 29 teaching chemistry at Hampden Academy. Gloria Luckey, after many years of study, has finally attained her objective, she is a child psychologist. Elaine Cummings, ambition to settle on a farm is here at last, as she is cultivating the soil in Missouri. Thus ends our glimpse into theseiprivate lives. We wish all well and promise that we shall come again before another decade is over.

For this Donald King and Mary Alice 0'Leary were co-editors while Robert Moran was associate editor. Sports were handled by Edward Hughes, and the artistry was under the direction of Iohn Cassidy.

Profita. 46 CHEERLEADERS Left In right-Ellen-Marie Polyot, Betty l..r'ard, Ellen Duddy, Carolyn Mann, Patricia Farwell, Eleanor Polyot. When Bapst's athletes are doing their bit on the gridiron, the court and the diamond but that bit seems not quite adequate and the Bapst students in the stands begin to feel the blues, it is the cheerleaders who come to the rescue and draw out a lusty, rousing cheer, that sets the team up, and very often sends a flashy back or end over the goal, or a speedy forward across the court for a startling basket, or a snappy diamond king sliding to the home plate. Or when all is going well for the various teams, it is those same cheerleaders who line up and bring from the Bapst followers those yells and cheers that tell the players that they are supported and applauded one hundred per cent. This seasonis cheerleading captain is Ellen Duddy ,46, and her staff includes Patricia Farwell '47, Betty Leard '47, Carolyn Mann ,46, Eleanor Polyot ,46, and Ellen-Marie Polyot '46. 47 THE CRUSADER ubama.

Organized in September, 194-1. the cluh has progrcssecl so rapidly and so successfully that its tame has spread far and wicle as he-ing synonymous with rare and almost professional entertainment. Uncler the direction of the director of clramatics, Nliss Alosephine NI. Prolita, the club presented during its first season that lmforgettahle drama. True Som: OF Brc11NArJrr:'r 1'r:, and that powerful saga of a girl's arnhition. Srrersum' A1.1.m'. This year, the cluh produced the light comedy, SIIINY Noslc, and the short cornecly, True PAINHWCIIICID IDAIILINKI, which were tremenclous successes. Nlorc recently. the club with thirty-three other schools in Maine entered the state one-act play con- test with the psychological drama, NlooNCA1.1f NIUG1-'o1m. Although it was Bapstls first entry in a play contest. the group was victorious in hoth the prelirninaries and the semi-finals, and was one ot the five in the state selectecl to take part in the finals at Bowdoin College in Brunswick. Nor have the activities of this cluh heen restrictecl to things clramatic. The group sponsors an annual formal clancc anal hanquet, and this year helcl a highly successful Mother-Daughter Tea. Meetings are held semi-monthly, anal after each business meeting a stuclent clirector presents a one-act play with cliilerent memhers taking part each time. There have heen two guest speakers this year. Miss Margaret Matson. Fashion expert at Frecse's. spoke to the girls on 'l'een- Age Fashions , and the Reverend klohn E.

He was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts and moved to Winthrop where he lived for twenty-one years. He attended Winthrop High School from 1930-1934. In 1938, he started college at the University of Maine and graduated in 1942. He studied Business Administra- tion and Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences, and he minored in Education. He played football, basketball, and baseball on the varsity teams in his sophomore, junior and senior years. In 1942, he was captain of the varsity basketball squad. In 1942 and 1943, he was the Physical Education Director of Foxcroft Acad- emy in Dover-Foxcroft and coached varsity athletics. The team won the Piscata- quis County Championship in baseball and basketball. The basketball team made the finals for the Eastern Maine Tourney. In January, 1944, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces and was aerial gunner for the 459th Bomb Group, 758th Squadron and the 304th Bomb Wing, 15th A.A.F. He flew in B-24 Liberators, better known as the flying boxcarsn. In the last three months of the war he was in the European Theater and was put in charge of the athletic program for the 304th Bomb Wing. NVhile in Rome, Italy, he studied at the Central Sports School. On August 3, 1945 he sailed for the United States on the liberty ship, alashua Hendyv. He arrived at Hampton Roads, Virginia and left the army on August 27, 1945. He became affiliated with john Bapst High School on September 2, 1945 where we all know he has done a marvelous job coaching the varsity foot- ball, basketball, and baseball teams. 62 A FOOTBALL Front row flcfl to riglztj-King, Black, Rice, Pooler, Martin, Desrosiers, IIickson,.

When Coach Nat Crowley asked for candidates for the football team, more than fifty answered the call. After many days of practice, the number was re- duced to twenty-live. The team was light and was constantly hampered by in- juries, but out of the seven games played there were four victories. Edward Black, john Hickson, Gerald King and Ronald Pooler were the regular backfield men, and it was a sure win when they were all on the field. Due to numerous injuries, however, such an occasion was indeed rare. Captain Rich- ard Martin's position was at center where he proved himself to be outstanding. Alphonse Desrosiers and Herbert Hardy starred in the guard positions. Donald McCann and Terrence McAloon proved to be brilliant at the tackling position, and the opponents really fell when they were hit by them. WVilliam Rice and John McAloon were evenly matched on the offense and defense. Joseph Cushing, -lohn Ceaghan, Basil Murray and Hubert Lamb certainly proved themselves to be star substitutes. They and many others received plenty of excellent training making next year's football prospects mighty interesting. BAPST - OLD TOWN Our first game of the season was played with the Old Town Indians at Garland Street where we took an easy 25-6 victory. The game went oil to a slow start, but we opened a power drive in the second quarter when Pooler scored a touchdown. In the opening of the third quarter, Hickson received the ball on our 35 yard line and romped back 15 yards. In the next two plays, Eddie Black zigzagged through the tacklers and raced 38 yards for the second touchdown, 63 In the final quarter Hickson and Pooler both scored touchdowns, and Hickson made the point on Pooleris touchdown. Old Town then came in for a goal making the final score 25-6. BAPST - ORONO The second game of the season was played at Orono with the Red Riots. With Hickson and Pooler setting the pace, we marked up our second win scoring two touchdowns and two points. No scoring was made until the second quarter when Pooler plunged through the line for the first touchdown. Hickson rushed the extra point. In the third quarter, Hickson went through the line for a touch- down and also for the point again. There was no scoring in the final quarter. This left the score I4-0 at the end of the game. BAPST - STEARNS The Stearns Minutemen played us at the Garland Street field in our third game. We were victorious over them with a score of 20-0. There was no scoring in the first stanza, but we got off to an early start in the second frame when Rock Pooler made a touchdown. The point was missed. In the final quarters, Pooler made two more touchdowns, and Hickson rushed both extra points. The score at the end of the game was 20-0. BAPST - BANGOR In our animal game with the Rams. we lost by a single touchdown. There was no scoring in the first quarter. but it was very exciting. Both teams scored in the second quarter. The touchdown on our side was made when we landed on the 10 yard stripe, and Gerry King plowed through the center. The third quarter was a repetition of the first for there was no scoring although both teams came close to the goal line. The final quarter saw King scoring another touch- down while our opponents scored two. All the extra points were halted. This left the final score I8-I2 in Bangoris favor. BAPST - FAIRFIELD We collected our fourth victory of the season in our fifth game with the Lawrence Bulldogs here at Garland Street. In the first quarter, Pooler scored the first touchdown while in the second quarter we scored nothing. Fairfield did score one touchdown and one point making the score at the half 7-6 in favor of Fairfield. In the third stanza, King plowed over the line for a touchdown, and Brangwynne went over for the point. In the final quarter, Pooler made a beauti- ful 75 yard run for a touchdown. The point was missed. This left the final score 19-7 in our favor. BAPST - BREWER Our game with the Witches was played at Brewer. Eddie Black, one of our ace backs, was injured and had to leave the game. In the first quarter, after a difficult struggle, the Witches plunged through our line to score a touchdown. We opened up a drive in the second quarter and bulldozed through our oppo- nents' line to score a touchdown. Neither team got the point which made the score 6-6 at halftime. With both teams making a fumble in the third quarter, neither did any scoring. In the final quarter, a beautiful pass received by Brewer gave them a touchdown. The attempted point was stopped, leaving the final score 12-6. Up until this time, Bapst and Brewer were tied for the Penobscot Valley Conference title. This win put them at the top. BAPST - M. C. I. Our third defeat of the season was handed to us by Maine Central Institute. It was a hard game and our team fought all the wav. The Mules scored two touchdowns. but both the points were stopped. The final score was I2-0. h 64 FOOTBALL SCENES 5 S T Vx BAPST-OLD TOVVN GAME Q., xx.-Mx gy, iqbxt x X W x. gggzxvx NEJM: .L Q X BANGOR-BAPST GAME 65 BASKETBALL Sealed Uefl In rightj-C. Drinon.

The Crusader Basketball Team of 1945-19-16 had a successful season. XVith only a few lettermen back, Mr. Crowley trained the team so well that it was entered in the Eastern Maine Tournament where it lost to Cuiltord in the semi- finals. Tucker McAloon was the center man on the Hrst string. and .Ioe Cushing was the substitute for that position. They both showed their skill in all the games. Dick Drinon and Bill Rivers were first string forwards. They were both noted for their one hand shots. Once they got going, no one could stop them. Tommy Geaghan and Robert Nelligan Were the substitute forwards who were regarded as expert ball handlers. Block Hickson and Captain Tommy Trainer were the regular guards. They could be counted on tor an outstanding per- formance in every game. Robert Brangwynne, George Drinon, .Iames Cahill, and Eddy Black were all substitute guards for the '45-'46 hoop squad. They really kept the opponents on the go when they were in there. Next year We shall not have Tommy Trainer, Robert Brangwynne, or Bill liivers because they will be lost to us through graduation. BAPST - ALUMNI The first game of the season was played with the Alumni, a team represent- ing John Bapst students of earlier years. lt was composed ot B. McKenna, -I. Mahaney, F. Coughlin. R. Elliott, C. Kelly, C. Lovett, I. Marquis. V. Trowell, AI. Crowley, and G. Gunn. Coming from behind after trailing by ten points at the halfway mark. the Alumni spurted to nose out the 1946 edition of the Crusaders by taking a 45-43 decision. The Crusaders jumped to an early lead, and sparked by Dick Drinon and Bill Rivers, kept the game under control during the first half. The teams battled it out until the end when the ex-Bapstmen were out in front by a single basket. Those who scored were: McAloon 14, Coughlin lil, Hickson 9, Drinon 8, Kelly 8, Gunn 8, Nelligan 7. McKenna 6. Marquis 6, Trowell 4. Trainer Mahaney 2. Perry 2, Crowley 1. 66 BAPST - BAR HARBOR Our first game with the Bar Harbor Seasiders was played in our own gym- nasium. Nelligan opened the scoring with a well placed shot from out front. Rivers followed up with a free throw, while Trainer popped in one more point, to put the Purple and White ahead by a .few points. The score at the end of the quarter was 6-2. Dick Drinon, substituting at left forward, opened the attack in the second frame. The Seasiders gained six points but the Bapstmen came back strong, and sparked by Rivers and Drinon, went on to add twelve points. Rivers took high honors on our side with 14 points and Drinon took second honors with 12 points. Trainer made 3 points, Walsh 3, Hickson 2, and Nelli- an 2. g BAPST - FAIRFIELD For the next game the team traveled to Fairfield where the Crusaders downed Lawrence with a score of 61-40. In the opening quarter, the Purple and White cagers lost little time in piling up a lead, and they barraged the host team net, to pour in 20 points in the opening period to take a 13-point lead. With Coach Nat Crowley using his entire squad, the Bapstmen added six more tallies in the second frame, as the Bulldogs shaved down the lead by dumping in eight markers. The quartet of Drinon, Trainer, McAloon, and Rivers combined the fast pace as the second half got underway and added 17 points to their total, while the Bulldogs held a rally to chalk up 14. The final period was a repetition of the third, as the visitors kept the game in full swing by continuing to pepper the enemy hoop to the horn. Rivers took high honors on the Crusader side with a score of 16 points, while Trainer marked up 14. Drinon added 7 points, McAloon added 4, and the rest of the scoring was divided up among Nelligan 4, Cushing 2, C. Drinon 2, Walsh 2, and Hickson 1. BAPST - WATERVILLE On December 21, our Crusaders romped over the Waterville Panthers in Waterville. The Panthers were looking for their 66th consecutive victory but were defeated. Sparked by guardsmen Dick Drinon and Bill Rivers, the Bapst- men set a sizzling pace in the first and second quarters, taking a six point lead in the first and poured on twelve more in the second canto. John Hickson turned in a brilliant job in the guard berth as he broke up the Panthers' charges time after time and accounted for 11 points himself. In the third quarter, the Panthers made a comeback and came within three points of the Crusaders' score. In the final canto, our men started off the attack and opened another drive, ending the game with a score of 60-49. Drinon took high honors with 20 points, and Rivers took second honors with 15 points. Hickson made 11 points, Trainer 9, McAloon 4, and Nelligan 1. A BAPST - CHEVERUS Before 3,700 wild-eyed fans, the Crusaders won over Cheverus High School at Portland 36-34. Nat Crowley's invading Crusaders held a 13-8 lead at the end of the first period, saw it shortened to 24-20 at the halftime and narrowed to a scant 32-30 going into the final eight minutes. In the fourth chapter came a basket for Cheverus which made the score 32 all. Hickson got a foul shot and Cheverus made another basket giving them a one-point lead. McAloon dropped a foul to again tie the score. The crowd was in a frenzy as Drinon pushed through the telling basket, and we managed to control the ball until the final whistle. On our side the high scorer was Dick Drinon with 16 points and Rivers came in second with 10 points. Others who scored were: Trainer 4, Hickson 3, and McAloon 3. BAPST - OLD TOWN The Crusaders defeated the Old Town Indians on New Year's night. Paced by Bill Rivers, the Crusaders took a ten point margin in the first quarter, 16-6.

The Minutemen opened up a powerful attack to take the lead and were out in front 15-11 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, sparked by Drinon and Rivers, the Bapstmen bounced back to hold a 25-24 margin at the half. Both teams opened up as the third canto got under way, and the two evenly matched quintets battled for possession of the ball. The teams were not separated by more than three points during the period which ended in a 33 point deadlock. This same fast pace was continued in the final quarter, and the squads were on even terms when Drinon chalked up the winning basket. Dick Drinon was high scorer with a total of 23 points, while Rivers worked up 15 points for the second honors. Trainer made 7 points, Nelligan 3, Hickson 1, Cushing 1, and McAloon 1. BAPST - BANGOR On ,lanuary 11, our team suffered a loss to the Bangor High Rams in the Bangor Municipal Auditorium with a score of -19-33. The Crusaders controlled the tip as the game opened but missed the shot. Bangor got a foul shot to start the scoring, putting the Rams ahead. The Rams ran up ten more points in three minutes. Finally after two foul shots for Bangor, Tommy Trainer sank a nice shot to score our first tally in seven minutes. Dick Drinon tossed in two baskets while Bangor made a free throw good and also another basket making the score at the quarter 17-6. ln the second period, the Rams piled up a better lead as every man scored once or twice, while the Crusaders made three baskets and three foul shots to make the score at the half 29-15.

Our team was so powerful that the visitors were limited to only one basket and two free throws in the opening quarter. Two seconds after the opening quarter, Dick Drinon popped in the first tally, and from there on our entire team pow- dered leather through the mesh, to take a 26-4 lead at the end of the first period. The second period proved to be a repetition of the first as our team continued to pepper the Riots hoop, to go out front 32-7 at the half. The first string men, who played most of the third frame, continued to show superiority over the visi- tors, and romped nearly at will to lead 61-9 at the three quarter mark.

We peppered the invaders, hoop to gain a 22-10 lead at the quarter. The same fast pace was continued in the second frame. We held a 33-21 margin at halftime. The subs began to trickle in as the third stanza got underway, and the fans were treated to a lively battle. The score at the end of the quarter was 49-31.

This same fast pace went on in the third quarter as we pulled ahead to 53 to the opponents' 29. It was 60-40 at the final horn. Rivers took high honors with 20 points, and Dick Drinon made 17 points for second honors. McAloon made 12, Hickson 6, Geaghan 3, and Trainer 1. BAPST - BAR HARBOR We went to Bar Harbor january 25 and won 56-34. Our high-scoring boys wasted little time in piling up a lead as the combination of Dick Drinon and Rivers peppered the Seaside hoop, ringing up 8 baskets each. We held a 26-16 lead at half-time, and we opened up in the third and final quarters to take a commanding margin over the host team. Trainer and Hickson turned in a re- markable performance in the back court and kept the Bar Harbor five from l'l'1lClllIlg scoring territory on many of their dashes.

BAPST - FORT FAIRFIELD In, the Eastern Maine tournament which was played at the University of Maine Memorial Gymnasium on February 28, we met the Tigers from Fort Fairfield in the second game at night and won a 49-46 decision in a game which left the 3,100 fans breathless. In the very beginning, the Tigers showed their prowess by piling up a 6-0 lead. We took time out and came back with 7 quick points. At the end of the first quarter, Fort Fairfield was out in front 15-14. We stepped up the pace in the second frame, and at half time we had a 28-22 ad- vantage. Late in the third period, the Tigers sliced the score to 33-31, but we were still leading at the end of that canto 38-31. In the final quarter with about two minutes to play, it was a 44-44 count. Tommy Trainer popped one in, and Rivers made a free throw and followed with a crip shot that clinched the game. Fort Fairfield sank another marker before the buzzer sounded. Dick Drinon made 15 points, Rivers 13, Trainer 10, Hickson 5, McAloon 3, Cushing 2, and Brangwynne 1. BAPST - GUILFORD Our second game in the tournament on March 1 found us opposing Guilford who had defeated Waterville the night before. The Golden Panthers eliminated us by a 51-44 score. Trainer was unable to play because of illness. The Piscata- quis boys raced to a 12-7 lead in the first quarter. NVe rallied and tied the count at 15-15 on Hickson's shot from the side, and the second quarter ended with us in the lead 25-24.

McAloon garnered 15 points, Drinon 13, Brangwynne 5, Hickson 5, Rivers 3, Cushing 2, and Ceaghan 1. BAPST - ELLSWORTH Our play-off game with Ellsworth for the Penobscot V. C. Championship resulted in a 36-34 victory for us. The game was played in the Brewer Audi- torium before a capacity crowd. The Eagles came up fast in the last period and really gave us a scare, but we had the necessary push and retained a slim lead as the buzzer sounded. We are very proud of Coach Crowley and his squad which has a season's record of 18 wins and 5 losses and 1 victory and 1 defeat in the Eastern Maine tournament. We salute Coach Crowley and his club which played good ball consistently, despite injuries, illness and some rugged slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

When Mr. Crowley asked for candidates more than fifty answered the call. After a few days of practicing, the team was reduced to the following: William Meucci, Francis Herbert, and Robert Paschal, catchers, joseph Cushing, Arthur Perry, William Rivers, Robert Baldacci, james O'Brien, pitchers, John McAloon, first base, Thomas Trainer and Vincent Viola, second base, Robert Violette, Gerald McLellan, and VVilliam Clarke, third base, Ronald Pooler and Edward Matson, short-stop, john Perry, Robert Brangwynne, Wil- liam Bice, Alfred Veilleux, and Robert Moran: outfield. The managers were Donald McCann and james Lynch. Because of a printer's deadline, it will be impossible for the BA1's'roN1AN to await decisions on the baseball games. However, we extend to Coach Crowley and his team best wishes for success in the following schedule of games: April 30 Bucksport away May 3 Bar Harbor home May 7 Ellsworth home May 10 Bangor away May 1-1 Old Town home May 17 Brewer away May 21 Orono away May 24 Bangor home 72 IAYV EE SPORTS lfmnl row flcfl Io riglztl-Matson, McManus, Lynch, captain, Pascal, Williams.

The jayvees were under the capable guidance of Brother Michael Joseph, C.F.X. who worked very hard with the boys and was directly responsible for their success. Brother Michael joseph, before coming here, had coached baseball and football in Brooklyn and these same sports plus basketball and swimming in Leonardtown, Maryland. He came here from Leonard Hall School. Brother Michael joseph said it was a pleasure to work with the team because the mem- bers had a cooperative spirit. NVe quote him, If the team received half the pleasure that I did from the experience, the time was well spentfi The football team was very light, averaging about 120 pounds. Every day the boys practiced and every once in a while, they would have a scrimmage with the varsity seconds. The squad included: Robert Trainer. captain, Leroy Mc- Kenna, Robert VVilliams, Boland King, Robert Paschal, Hubert Lamb, Robert jameson, Robert Violette. Robert Quinn, Joseph McCarthy, James Gallagher, John Rooney, Donald Cammack, and Edgar Picard. They played games with the Bangor Iayvees and the Old Town High qlayvees. The Little Rams won the Hrst one, 24-0, and the junior Indians eked out a 6-0 win. The basketball team consisted of William XVebb, Thomas Gallant, Thomas Drinon, Frederick Brennan, Robert NVilliams, james Abbott, Leroy McKenna, Ivan Lancaster, john Lynch, Reginald McManus. Robert Violettc, john Mooney, Robert Paschal, and Robert Quinn. The team played eighteen games and lost only seven. Many members of the junior Varsity are sure to be on the varsity team next year. Our congratulations go to Brother Michael Ioseph, C.F.X. and his teams for their marvelous work. '73 3 2 X I 1 ALUMNI ALUMNI Left to right--Frederick Knaide, prcsideutg joscphine M. Profita, vice-president, Laura Cuite, secretaryg jack VVelch, treasurer. ln the past, there have been several unsuccessful attempts to form an alliance of all graduates of john Bapst lligh School and the Bangor Catholic High School. These attempts have been unsuccessful not through any personal defi- ciency of the organizers, but because there was a laclt of cooperation on the part of the graduates and because the war intervened to scatter our people and make any sizeable gatherings an impossibility. Now we have peace and order, and the alumni have organized once more. Officers have been elected, plans have been formulated, meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, a successful informal Easter dance has already been sponsored, and everything tends to a progressive and ambitious organiza- tion. No matter how ambitious the plans or how numerous the activities, how- ever, the john Bapst Alumni Association cannot survive without the whole- hearted support of each and every alumnus and alumna. The days to come will tell the story of the faithfulness and progressiveuess of the graduates of the Ban- gor Catholic High School and of john Bapst lligh School. 76 ALUMNI NOTES The BAPSTONIAN sent out seven hundred letters in- viting graduates to order a copy of the yearbook and to send in information for this column.

Never be idle, if your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truthg make few promisesg live up to your engagementsg when you speak to anyone, look him straight in the face. Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else in life. Never listen to loose or idle conversationg you had better be poisoned in your blood than in your principles. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If anyone should speak evil of you, let your life be so virtuous that none will believe him. Always speak the truth and act as if in the presence of your MAKERg drink no intoxicating liquorsg ever live, misfortune excepted, within your income. When you retire to bed at night think of what you have done during the day. Never speak lightly of anyone, make no haste to be rich if you should prosperg small and steady gains give competency with tranquillity of mind. Never play any game of chance, avoid the temptation through fear that may not withstand it. Earn your money before you spend it, and never run in debt unless you can see a way to get out of it. Never borrow, if you can avoid it. Save when you are young to save when you are old. Never think what you do to alleviate the sufferings of fellow beings is time and money lost. Be kind and generous, for the whole human family is depending one upon the other. MERCI-IANTS NATIONAL BANK OF BANGOR ,M . . . l CTomplimw1l.s of OETCHELL ICE CO.
