We were not alone in adjusting ourselves to this new environment as Mr. Timon had just arrived upon the scene to become a part of the faculty. John Falk was elected presidentg Janet Derosiers, vice presidents Warren Lane, treasurerg and Agnes Mahan, secretary. We were well represented in the field of sports, scholastics, and act- ivities. Our freshman year passed quickly and happily. September and school time again. As sophomores we were ready to show our superiority toward underclassmen. Our second year was unusually eventful. Mr. Tierney became a mem- ber of the faculty, Mr. Hopkins was appointed Music Supervisor, and Mr. Turner was made Superintendent. Richard Ward was elected class president. Softball, fgotbgll, and baseball had as our members Eleanor Dandro, Irene Marco, Evelyn Whitney, John McKeon, and John Falk. A dramatic spirit was aroused by NHere Comes Patr1cia,n the first play sponsored by the A.A. Among the cast were: Margaret Mary Davenport, Harold Nothdurft, and Mildred Baris. Another highlight of the year was the publication of WThe Arrow,N our present newspaper. Mary Milner submitted the win- ning title. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Hopkins, the band was re-organized. During our sophomore year, class rings, school colors, school songs, and athletic awards were stan- dardized. Ruth Devinsky was elected Sophomore Director of A.A. With due respect, we compliment ourselves for triumphing in practically every contest connected with Freshman-Sophomore Field Day. Mid-year and final exams were re-introduced. Mem- bers who received honors were: Mary Milner, Helen Gablaski, Ann McKeon, Anthony Cerce, and George Murphy. We left the high school in June with the satisfaction of knowing that our class had been well represented and that we were essential to the life of L.H.S. As Juniors we set out briskly to hold our position as an active class at L.H.S. Stella Paulauskas was chosen the Jun- ior A.A. Director. George Murphy was elected president. The vice-president was Marcia Grahamg the secretary, Ruth Devinskm and the treasurer, Robert Mannix. Mr. Semino was accepted as g gc THE Mfxaoom L: LJ a new member of the faculty. Juniors who played football were Anthony Cerce, Walter Klosek, Robert Newell, Raymond Southard, and Captain-elect, John McKeon. In January, we moved into our new high school, a change we greatly appreciated. The outstanding social event of the year was our Junior Prom. with Mrs. Brown as our class adviser we considered it an overwhelming success. Boys' and girls' basketball was organized under the direction of Mr. Semino and Miss Bergin. Robert Newell, Walter Klosek, Robert Mannix, Harold Nothdurft, Irene Marco, and Olivine Mulcahey were active members of the teams. With spring came baseball and the l9LO championship of the Western Worcester County League. Mr. Timon organized a golf team and Mr. Semino coached track. We deeply regretted the departure of Miss Larkin, who was well liked by the entire student body. Thus we ended our junior year with eager hopes of becoming future leaders of Leicester High. Our senior year! At last the honor of our school was in our hands and we set the pace for the underclassmen. George Murphy was again elected president, Betty Kennedy, vice pres- identg John Falk, treasurerg and Ruth Gallagher, secretary. Mr. Skelley was appointed English Instructor and Miss McPart- land, Art Supervisor. Activities began at once. The band and glee club were formed once mere, with many Seniors taking act- ive parts. Captain John'McKeon, Walter Klosek,'Anthony Cerce, Robert Newell, and Edward Jacobson represented the seniors on the gridiron. Mary Milner and Ann McKeon won honors in the Forensic League. The seniors were champs in the girls' inter- class basketball games coached by Miss McDonald. The success of Leicester High's first yearbook ' was entrusted to the seniors with Mary Milner as editor-in-chief. We immediately began making plans for our Washington trip. The senior play, WThe Arrival of Kitty,M under Mrs. Brown's excellent coaching, was an immense success and contributed extensively to our needed funds. The cast included Ann McKeon, Mary Milner, Mary Duncan, Anthony Cerce George Murphy, Ray Southard, Edward Jacobson, Robert Newell, and Janet Desrosiers. On April 18, thirty-nine seniors left for their long-awaited trip to the Nation's Capital. Mr. and Mrs. Semino were chaperons and Miss Harmon, our class adviser was our guest. This eventful trip will remain in the memories of all of us for a long time. As we glance back over our high school life, our senior year seems the shortest and most enjoyable period of all. We will always hold this year in our mind as a treasure well worth keeping. N, CUQLZKSS '-L. ' k ' C fx. lj 'M' F-LWVAZ EET H 'l':' , 'Se Twenty years hence, in 1961, finds me working as director in a home for aged Italian children. Despite the great amount of work I have to do, I have made a hobby of collecting newspaper clippings about the class of 1941 of Leicester High School. To begin on the bright side of things, I don't believe any members of the class have passed on to their reward, but those few who were dead while alive, back in '41, need not be mentioned. The first clipping I have concerns an outstanding classmate. John A. Falk, Jr. U.S. Senator from Massa- chusetts is trying to put through a bill to simplify the constitution on the grounds that in its present state, it remains too difficult for high school stu- dents to memorize. Senator Falk also has pending a bill that grocery stores pay a living wage. We find that Mag Rita Foley inherited her father's job. and continues to hear arguments from Superintendent Turner as to when new clocks will be installed. In the ad- vertising sections I found that many former inmates were publicizing their respective products. Here is a bit from the classified ads: WBaby chicks and loam for sale. Call Rochdale OOO and ask for Mg. Raymond or Mrs. Shirlgy Yoodcock Southard.n A few of my classmates are found located in the theater advertising section. Pauline Stachura, star- ring in nFanchette Faints,N running for the 15th year. Incidentally, on visiting the theater, I dis- covered Elaine Mondor running the mechanisms which control the descension and ascension of angels. Speaking of angels, here is your chance to purchase, at extremely low prices, beautiful flying carpets from Gladys Nordigian and sister proorietresses. In the radio section, I found that Mary Mgyeil THE MAROON has her own radio program, broadcast from station WHEW South Boston, Monday through Friday, and that gpg MgKeon was Mary's announcer and adviser. On this pro- gram she answers questions on anything from the way to conduct one's self in the latest dance, to whether or not the little finger should be curled while eating celery. Another item states that Betty Kennedy has been graduated magna cum laude from Worcester State Teach- er's College, and has been successfully teaching chem- istry at Worcester State Hospital ever since. The students of Miss Mary Duncan Csuccessor to Arthur Mur- rayl will give a prolonged recital in town hall this evening. Twenty years hasn't done much to Mildred Barls. You know Millie has a newspaper column titled, UAdvice To Those Who Need It And Those Who Don't.U Mg, Leon Martel of Leicester formerly of Malden, has brought a boom to Leicester industry. His Nylon hosiery plant has surpassed all sales records within the state. Leon's boyhood ambition to have L.H.S. girls wear silk stockings every day has been ful- filled. By the way, Miss Dorothy Hurd the famous dancer, sincerely endorses Martel's Mylon Hosiery. Records prove that she has danced for 500 hours with- out a run. In the art section of the New York Times I found that Edna Boughard and Wanda Mighalak were successful partners in a commercial art studio with their work in all our popular magazines. I discovered a little ex- cerpt in the same newspaper a complaint by Samuel Smith, Postmaster General, that the mailmen in south- ern California and northern New York were wearing out too much shoe leather delivering letters to and from Evelyn Copp and Walter Klo ek. Another ad revealed that Eleaggg and Helen Daniro were in the real estate business, specializing in hog farms and gasoline sta- tions. Upon reading Greta Green's Gossip Column I found that Janet Desrosiers, receptionist in the office of the Bubbling Bubble Bath Company, was soon to retire to be married. From another clipping I learned that Ruth Devinsky and Ruth Gallagher, partners in the In- terior ecoration of Bird Cages were asking for a helper to catch the birds when they opened the doors, I read that Annette Dorr was the guest of honor at the g T HE mx-xnyoogw :- annual banquet of the Fake Tooth Maker's. She has this business down to a tee,--th. While reading an article in the Sing Sing Ledger, I found that E15 Frazier is extremely popular with the guests at Sing Sing, for the unique designing of their wearing apparel. Also, that Bob Newell is making great headway as caretaker of thE'Ihmates1 luggage. In the latest news of television, I found that Helen Gablaski is greatly desired for television mod- eling. I was invited a few weeks ago to the opening of the Corcoran Art Galleries. Who do you think was my guide? Eddie Jacobson, a very capable one at that. Of course you all rombmber Shirle Jennin.s. She caught the,biggest and longest fish In Nova Scoeia since Hector was a up. In the Grange news, I read that Emma Kennen has gust been installed as grand mis- tress of that organization in Opaliki, Alabama. In the Army and Navy Annals, I was pleased to learn that Leola Lawrence had distinguished herself as an Army Nurse, taking special care of her brother ---------- and another. Wanamaker's in Philadelphia advertised nFashions of the Future.n I received a complimentary ticket, and, being a woman, I attended.

I clipped a picture of Bettv MacLeod, sent along with an article on nLife'on a Buds Ranch,U written by her. She's been out west, you know, for three years, absorbing atmosphere for her book. I hear that Irene Marco is being kept busy designing bats, which Evelyn WEItne invariably breaks, 'in her slugging for he Boston Bees. In the nHerald,n I read an interview of John McKeon, Boston's noted music critic. Among other sage remarks, he said, UI got my start at Leicester High.n Of course, you've read the advertisement of the new Ruth Streimikis beauty cream. She cleared a cool million on the formula.

The Plymouth Theater is opening a new season of vaudeville with that well known star, Bill Stagikmas, who will render his ver- sion of early morning bird calls. And he used to be such a quiet boy! I don't have to mention the name of Marjorie Morin. You've secn her face in all your newspapers. She was just chosen by MGM for the leading role in NRebecea of Sunnybrook Farm.H Barnum and Bailey Circus will be in town August 22 23. Licia Cleva is starred as the only woman in captivity who can put her left elbow into her right ear without groaning. Of course, you know her name is Mary Milner. Among the inventors' news, I discovered that Anthony Cerce was working on a ladder with no rungs, for those people who wash cellar windows. The Gossip Column has it that Eileen Finn is a detriment to her husband's military career. She keeps arguing with his commanding officer, but he and their six little chil- dren love her just the same. p , In the social column we learn that the former Miss Dorothy McKeQn held a tea party for all the stray cats and dogs in her neighborhood.

The band also enjoyed playing at nearby Demo- cratic and Republican rallies as much as their audiences enjoved listening to them.

The members of the Leicester debating teams, coached by Mr. Skelley, were as follows: Affirmative--Ann McKeon, Mary Milner, Helen Bacon, and John Bragintong Negative-Mae Rita Foley, Eleanor Dandro, Helen Gray, and Robert Lawrence. On December 3, both Leicester teams met defeat at the hands of Charlton. In the second debate on December lO, the Warren Negative triumphed over the Leicester Affirmative by only a small margin. On December 18, the Leicester Affirmative were victorious over the Auburn Negative by a 3-O decision. On December 19, after a fair season, Leicester won the last two debates from their old rival Spencer. Leicester High School on March 15 sent representatives to the annual Worcester County Contest of the National Forensic League held in Shrewsbury. The five contestants were: Ann Bugdenovich and Mary Milner, who entered the Humorous Declamation divisiong Ann McKeon, Dramatic Decla- mation, Robert Lawrence, Oratorical Declamationg and Helen Gray, Original Oratory. Since this is the first year in which Leicester has entered a National Forensic League Con- test, Mary Milner and Ann McKeon must be congratulated for winning the preliminary contests and thus placing in the finals. Helen Gray, a sophomore, won two first places and entered the state finals of the American Legion Oratorical Contest. In the Worcester County elimination contest held at Leicester on February 21, Helen won over eleven other contestants who represented their schools. In the Western Division contest held at Worcester on March 15, Helen again won first honors for Leicester. Helen placed third at the State contest held in Boston on March 2l. Since this marks the first year the high school has competed, Leicester is greatly honored to have such an excellent showing. me wmaoong L-J L L GLORY TO LEICESTER Glory to Leicester Loyal we'll stand!

Semino, FOOTBALL 1940 squad, under the able coaching of Mr. ended the season with a final victory over our old rival Grafton by the score of 25-6. The squad headed by Captain John McKeon, was comprised of the following seniors: Walter hlosek, Anthony Cerce, Robert Newell, Edward Jacobson, and Manager George Murphy and under- classmen Robert Foley, Bomba, Thomas Monahan, Manager Donald Story, Larievy, Walter Giguere 9 Williams, Donald Sottak, Arthur Lahotte, Richard Jennings, Paul James Doyle, Morgan Childs, Assistant Goodwin Graham, Charles Lucke, Arthur Assistant Manager Harry Newell, Robert Richard Newell, William Gunther, Edwin Dow, Matthew Mcieon, Gerald Lemerise, Robert McKeon, Charles Albee, George Duquette, sistant Manager Forrest Gerald Doane, Russell Stone, and As- Stone. The student body, led by Cheerleaders Eleanor Dandro, Mae Rita Foley, and Harry Hachey, gave their enthusiastic support. The band, too, added its pep and spirit. Among the schools Millbury, Winchendon, played were: Hopkinton, Auburn, Holden, Tiestboro, Uxbridge, and Grafton. 'With the exception of Holden and Grafton all these schools have a larger enrollment than Leicester, and the teams out-weighed our ,boys by a wide margin. .5 I Outstanding this year was the backfield work of Morgan f2Ghilds and James Doylei and the line work of Tony Cerce and K Walter Klosek. Morgan Childs and Walter Giguere were chosen cowcaptains for next year. F' 5 s ,Q ..:-n ., ' o 'XL ' I.: :J I7 ... - E1 THE QAROON 'lj BASKETBALL By the first basketball game of the season, Coach Semino had chosen these veterans: Captain Walter Klosek, Robert Newell, Morgan Childs, and Joseph Slivoski. The newcomers were: John McKeon, Arthur Williamson, Arthur Larievy, and Edward King. At a pre-season game Brookfield was defeated by a score of 35-30. Outstanding in this game was the defense work of Walter Klosek and Robert Newell and the scoring by Edward King, who tallied fifteen points. The Maroons later defeated North Brookfield 20-12. The Holden game at Leicester held real significance for the Maroons. Holden was vanquished by a 37-30 score. For the first time since 1926 Leicester defeated a Holden basketball team. Five of these fifteen years Leicester had no team, hence, the Maroons defeated a team for the first time in ten years. In recent years, Leicester has played Holden four times, and in the first three games Holden came out on top with a one point margin. The Leicester Junior Varsity had a successful season, for they won over half their games. The J. V. members, for the most part freshmen and sophomores, were: Harry Newell, Thomas Lemerise, Gerald Lemerise, Richard Newell, Matthew McKean, David Askling, Robert Foley, Albert Melendy, Walter Jennings, and Emile Mainville. A few close games of the season were: January 3, 19L1, 1 HE M A goom I-1 .J Charlton at Leicester, Charlton came out on top 20-21. Morgan Childs starred in this game. January 7, 1941, Leicester at Oxford. The score was 28-26 in favor of Oxford. Larievy and Slivoski displayed their shooting ability by scoring eight points each. January 24, 1941, Holden at Leicester.- Holden 22, Leicester 21. This game will live long in the memories of the excited rooters. With four minutes left to play, the score was 20-10 in favor of Holden. Leicester then launched a brilliant offensive and took the lead, Joe Slivoski scoring eleven points. Holden sunk a last basket and closed this exciting contest 22-21. These are the highlights of the 1940-41 season. Leices- ter fans should keep an eye out next season for such pro- mising hoopsters as Donald Sottak, Thomas Lemerise, Matthew McKeon, Harry Newell, and Richard Newell.

We began yelling, and hooting, and Egwhistling at cats, and cheering a lady who was hanging out clothes. We passed a couple girls in our class and they walked along quietly, of course. Might think they were teachers or something. We all get a schedule and mine said rooms and periods but I didn't know which was who. A man with eyeglasses yelled at ne, uwhere do you belong?n and I was so scared I could only swallow and show him my schedule. I guess they called him Hr. Timon. He said, nYou study this periodg come with mein and we went into a room marked Ulu .on the door. I tripped on the threshold and everybody laughed. I felt foolish. The man said, UMr. St. John, Here is a freshman who craves to study in your domainl' Everybody laughed again. Once during the period a fellow with shiny hair came in and took a slip off the teacher's desk. He winkcd at the pretty girl in the front seat, so I suppose she thinks he's a dasher. I met him in the corridor afterwards and when I asked him how to get to Room 2, he said, nGo take an elevater.n All the fellows laughed, but when I told him to go chew a brick he get red all over and the fel- lows laughed harder than ever. I was late for classes today but I guess I'll get used to it and like it after a while. . X ' I Q Z --1 I f X .f.-we f Q. g Ax' u .

I went to the show last 'night with Tom. He's O.K., but he's such a kid! Why, he's only a sophomore!l!! Well, I guess I'll manicure my nails. I really ought to study my French, but I'm the quick grasping type so I'l1 get it in class. gm 4- w ji: nk x 'E ,I f-X 6 Cd BY A Gsrrtmmw JUNIOR X X f Believe me I'm sick of school. Everybody around this place thinks I'm a criminal or worse. Today a teacher stopped me and gave me three P.M.'s--one, two, three, just like that,--just because she caught me tripping Ed. It'S pretty tough when a fellow can't trip his own classmate without getting time for it. It's a good thing they never see us outside of school. I'm on the committee for the orchestra for our Junior Prom. If I had my way we'd have a name band, but everybody else would think we were Van- derbilts or something, so we're having a smaller band. I'm kind of weary now but when I look at some of these Sirls up here, weary as I am, I get wearier. ,W I. Q P BY A soPH1sT1cATED SENIOR Q-'Z At last comes the dawn! As I look back upon the four short years of high school, I realize how little I have made of the opportunities afforded me. Especially when I glance over the College Entrance Exams. The harsh feel- ings and the terrible thoughts I held against the members of the faculty now drop away and I can easily see the patience and painstaking work that our teachers cheerfully give toward our education. Our Washington trip and dance have gone by, and after graduation we probably- wonft be ever assembled again in such a cheery group. The memories of dear old Leicester High School with her inquisitive Freshmen, wild-eyed Sophomores, dignified Juniors, pop concerts, plays, friends that will remain forever, an im, print on the heart that we never want erased.
