Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1957 volume:

FALLING LEAVES Our cover depicts so appropriately the theme that pervades this occasion. The inexorable hand of time has methodically taken its toll and now, like falling leaves, we waft gently from the tree of secondary education. As God has ordained the withering leaves to separate from the embrace of a tree, so are we now appointed to sever our close relations with the high school to which we have been endeared for the past four years. On September 9, 1953, beneath a panoply of brilliant late summer sunshine, we commenced our high school careers. Four inexplicably short years later our Washington Class Trip served as a prelude to the realization that our high school days were hastening to their end. The dazzling splendor of that Septem¬ ber morning had recoiled in deference to an atmosphere of passing twilight. Tonight, graduation evening, June 5, 1957, we come to a profound awareness of the fact that the curtain of darkness has descended forever on the four happiest years of our lives. Knowing that it is impossible and vain for us to relive our high school days, we have dedicated our Senior Year to the formation of this volume so as we may ever cling to the cherished memories of the years 1953 to 1957. You are now cordially invited to reminisce with us as we rekindle those pleasant memories of bygone days, found here in our fabulous treasure—the 1957 Maroon. 957 MAROON My Dear Graduates, For the past four years your educational training has had this focal aim: the formation of true leaders for future life. We know that you are the products of good home influences and avid religious training which have readily disposed you to a knowledge of truth in the classroom. Mr. Skelley and the teachers have demonstrated truth to you, portraying it in such a way as to provide light and guidance to you in your daily living. You have been made partakers of the power and beauty that is to be found in possess¬ ing a knowledge of truth. Yet a teacher’s purpose is merely to sow truth. You are now called upon to harvest this truth by going on to lead exemplary lives. By so doing you will prove to be of immense credit to Leicester High School. You will have earned the title of “true leader” and you will be emulating the Author of Truth by following “the way, the truth, and the life” that will one day lead you to eternal happiness. MR. EDMUND F. TIERNEY, SUPERINTENDENT A TRIBUTE TO MR. EDWARD L. SKELLEY Our incomparable principal, who has so enthu¬ siastically inspired and guided us during our four years at Leicester High School. Knowing that we have been the fortunate recipients of his keen wis¬ dom and understanding, we wish to thank him for the sympathetic consideration that he has given to our myriad requests. His approach has always been that of a friend offering help, not that of an erudite scholar imparting a code of ethics. With the trans¬ gressor he has always been kindly and human, quick to reprove, quick to forgive, yet capable of righteous indignation against wrongdoing and error. Today, June 5, 1957, at the successful completion of our high school careers, we recognize him as having been a true inspiration to us in our daily lives and realize that he has advised us “as one having authority.” MR. EDWARD L. SKELLEY, PRINCIPAL DEDICATION TO MR. JOHN F. MADDEN whose genius has inclined him with delight to his profession, who has proved himself to be able, diligent, and methodical in his teaching, and whose ability to inspire has made a profound impression on the student body at Leicester High School. FACULTY . . they have always exemplified the lofty ideals associated with their honorable profession.”—John Gilbert: President’s Address, Class Day, June 3, 1957.

To our parents we pay profound gratitude for fostering in us an enthusiasm to pursue the myriad benefits inherent in a high school education. Pausing in retrospection today, we realize and appreciate sincerely the mature wisdom exercised by our parents in our behalf. To our teachers we pay tribute for the vast fund of knowl¬ edge that they have bequeathed to us. Zealously diligent to their profession, they have always exemplified the lofty ideals associated with their honorable profession. In this way they have nobly served by being a constant source of guidance and inspiration to us. To the underclassmen we pass the torch of loyalty—loyalty to Leicester High School and its hallowed traditions. Accept the torch from us today—be yours to hold it high. To all our well-wishers we leave the corridors of Leicester High School for the avenues of life, t rusting that we shall be able to impress our footprints on the sands of time. We depart with the firm conviction that in the days and years that lie ahead we shall continue to grow in wisdom, and age, and grace before God and men. CLASS OFFICERS John Gilbert, President Jean Williamson, Vice-President Judith Aselton, Secretary CLASS MOTTO Finis Coronat Opus CLASS COLORS Blue and White CLASS MARSHAL Robert Young Nancy Shivick, Treasurer Now, as Seniors, we are ready to go out into the world and put to use the knowledge that we have acquired during the past four years. Before thinking ahead to our future, we pause to look back upon our four years at L.H.S. with fond recollections of our teachers, classes, and, of course, our numerous p ranks. Remember our freshman year? Many new faces appeared and after a period of getting ac¬ quainted and getting used to the new routine, we decided to elect our class officers. Our class be¬ gan to progress. We were proud to enumerate our classmates that year among those participating in all sports, debating, cheerleading, the Arrow Staff, and, of course. Glee Club. When we came back as Sophomores in the fall, we really began to feel a part of L.H.S. and we were ready to help the incoming freshmen or, in other words, to tell them that it was their turn to sit in the back of the auditorium. That year there were many absentees in the sense of drop¬ outs. To offset the losses we were fortunate to gain Judy Aselton, Sally Dobie, Arlene Giroux, Nancy Shannon, and Priscilla LaCoste. At the controls that year we had Bob Slocomb, Presi¬ dent; Dave Luoma, Vice-President; Beverly Cox, Secretary; and Nancy Snay, Treasurer. It was the year of our first major project . . . the Sophomore erise, Carole Brown, Arlene Giroux, and Marilyn Tibbetts. Thinking of future events, we found difficulty in settling down to study. We are very proud to boast of the work of Dave Luoma and Bob Johnson on the football team and we also remember the others who par¬ ticipated on the teams of other years . . . Louie Martin, Ron Chad, and Ray Soucie. Liz Larsson was appointed editor of the Arrow. Under the supervision of Miss Frye and the co-operation of Mr. Madden and the office practice class the Arrow was successfully “run- off-the-press.” After receiving permission to have a Christ¬ mas Ball, we elected committees and began de¬ corating once again. It was a festive affair, typical of the holidays, and was enjoyed by all. Mr. Argento took a chance with us in pre¬ senting our play “The Groom Said No.” The cast consisted of John Gilbert, Donna Carney, Karen Manthorne, Betsy Pearsall, Liz Larsson, Sandy Jacobson, Dave Luoma, Jean Williamson, Ron Chad, Bev Cox, and Steve Sieron. The cast put in many hours of work but somehow seemed to enjoy it. They were rewarded for the play was a success in every way—Mr. Argento had scored a hit! The basketball season bounced up. Dave Class History Picnic. We boarded the buses on a beautiful day and headed for Whalom Park. Amid pickles, wa¬ ter pistols, and spiders, we had a wonderful time which will be remembered by all. In the fall we were back again as Juniors look¬ ing forward to the day that we would be called “Seniors.” As class officers we elected Bob Slo¬ comb, Beverly Cox, Nancy Snay, and Nancy S hivick. With Miss Scannell as advisor we chose our class rings. We waited with much anticipation for the day that they would arrive. That day came about Christmas. The glistening rings of the very proud Juniors were the talk of the day. As spring came our minds turned from studies to thoughts of our Junior Prom. With Miss Scan- nell’s help and friendliness we worked diligently for perfection. That night we arrived rather tired, but enthusiastic. We danced to the music of the Bontonians. It was a very successful and unfor¬ gettable night that will always remain in our hearts and memories forever. This, along with other ac¬ tivities, ended our junior year. Finally, after long awaiting, came the title of Seniors. This was our big year. To lead the class to a successful year we chose John Gilbert, Presi¬ dent; Jean Williamson, Vice-President; Judy Aselton, Secretary; Nancy Shivick, Treasurer. Among those missing this year were Bob Slo¬ comb, Ellen Harty, Barbara Gelatt, Carol Lem- Luoma and Louie Martin were partly responsible for the team’s success as also were Judy Aselton and Donna Carney whose fighting spirit in the role of cheerleaders inspired the boys on the court. When we came back from our February vacation, we nominated DAR and Good Govern¬ ment Representatives. Liz Larsson and Nancy Shivick were chosen. In a home-making contest Betsy Pearsall was named “Homemaker of To¬ morrow.” We were proud to have Marcia Sundberg, Donna Carney, Judy Aselton, and Doris Wright representing our class on the debating team. They did a terrific job as did Betsy Pearsall, Sandy Best, and Alice Shemeth. Soon April popped up and the days were counted till the day of the Class Trip. With Mr. and Mrs. Jubinville as chaperones, we boarded the train headed for the Capitol and exciting New York City. We saw many famous sights, added to our knowledge, and came home with wonderful memories of a week well spent with classmates. After graduation the past four years will evolve into wonderful memories. The future will pose a challenge to each of us in selecting a field of endeavor suited to our abilities. Because of our teachers and all that we have learned at L.H.S., we, no matter where we are, will always be confident that “The End Crowns the Work.” Miss Nancy Shivick Oiatung, Japan Dear Nancy, I just returned home yesterday from our class reunion in Leicester, and since you asked me to write and tell you all about it, 1 thought I’d do so as soon as possible. It ' s unbelievable how much everyone has changed since those four wonderful years at L.H.S. They all look wonderful though; a perfect realization of our class motto “The End Crowns the Work.” Oh well, I suppose 1 should start from the beginning. I was greeted at the airport by Liz Larsson and Nancy Snay. Nancy took us to her exclusive hotel where we were to stay for the duration of the trip. Nancy is the owner of a whole line of hotels along the New England Coast. And Liz, as you know, is a famous stunt driver and now a legal driver of the drag strip. After regis¬ tering and getting settled, we sat down to talk about all of our former classmates and how we might go about locating them for our reunion. We decided that Karen Manthorne might be a good contact to make. Her polite gossip was so often quit e revealing. And so, bright and early the next morning I climbed the long hill that I had hiked so many times before on my way to classes at Leicester High School. Here Karen was employed as a teacher of geometry, assisting Mr. Comer, whose once lovely titian hair was now dangerously thin. Karen took time out from her noticed an old school friend, Bobby Johnson. Bob apologized for his actions and explained that he was merely testing for termites which is his pre¬ sent occupation. He told me that Sandy Jacob¬ son and Barbara Maleckas were now working as secretaries for a large manufacturing concern. It seems that Sally Burdzel has also become a private secretary. She now takes all of Mr. Madden’s letters for him. I also learned from Bob that Ronny Chad was now a rising young architect whose blueprints were looked on with envy. He is said, however, to have one original twist on his architectural designs. He insists on using ledges and backs his stand by saying that you can never tell when they may come in handy. For some obscure reason, this brought back recollections of our fabulous Washington trip. We had been talk¬ ing for a while when Betsy came out. Leicester has grown considerably in the last decade, Nance. It’s now a fairly good-sized little town and thriv¬ ing community. You can see that it is in able hands with Betsy Pearsall as mayor. From her I learned that at least two of our former classmates have risen to considerable fame in the entertain¬ ment world. Sandy Antanavica is now under¬ study to Jayne Mansfield and Jean Williamson is the wife of Elvis Presley. I found Louie Martin to be a suave college professor and Mary Kuz- micki to be a model in Venezuela. Betsy suggested that 1 get in touch with Judy Aselton next. Judy, being a newspaper reporter, was efficient in assembling the facts. She told me usually busy day to talk over old times. I found that another member of the class was now em¬ ployed by the Leicester School System. Marie Gustafson was now teaching Driver’s Ed. Karen also said that the once lethargic Steve Sieron was now a champion wrestler going by the name of “Steverino the Great”—but Steve was not alone in his choice of professions. Sandy Best, another member of our former class, was also engaged in this fine art. Incidentally, her professional name is “Bang Bang” Best. For Sandy, however, this is only a part-time job. She is also head librarian at the International Library of Scientific and Na¬ tural Research. I would never have thought it of Sandy. Karen said that Carol Rondeau is now giving a series of classes and lectures on correct elocution. Of course, you know that Audrey Bolivar is now married, having achieved her own degree of fame as proud owner of Mantelli’s Spa. And here’s a really surprising partnership—Doris Wright and Mary Jane Hager are now sharing the profits in the revival of an old and almost for¬ gotten trade—genuine leather money belts, now with waterproofing. Well, Karen and I had a wonderful visit together, and I was sorry to leave, but it was getting late and I had to stop in to see Betsy Pearsall. So I said good-bye to Karen and proceeded up the hill to Betsy’s house. I walked up the steps and was just about to ring the bell when I noticed a suspicious looking character sneaking around the corner of the house. Think¬ ing it was a burglar, I was about ready to scream for help when he turned, and to my amazement 1 that one member of the class had changed con¬ siderably. Donna Carney was now a nun and had been one for four years. Norman Manion is a rising scientist while Dave Luoma is a successful chicken farmer. Marcia Sundberg is a dancing instructor with her specialty being the Charleston. Her able assistant is none other than Alice She- meth. Carol LeDuc, better known to her class¬ mates as “Ducky,” is a talented artist, now resid¬ ing in Greenwich Village. Shirley Wood owns a well known dine-and-dance concern known as “The Primrose Path.” Florence Zaveski and Bev Berryman are fashion designers, living and work¬ ing in Paris. Frannie Marley is the police chief of Leicester and Sally Dobie is a prominent member of the F. B. 1. Ray Soucie is employed in New York as a male model. He always was a killer in a suit. His agent is the redoubtable Johnny G il¬ bert. And just to m.ake the list complete I shall here mention that you and I are now nursing in Japan. Well, Nance, there they are. The entire Class of 1957. We’ve come a long way since those care¬ free high school days. Perhaps we’ve a long way yet to go. But distance and time are immaterial boundaries. Our hearts and minds can never for¬ get the lasting friendships that we have formed which will always remain as much a part of us as the many experiences that we have shared to¬ gether at L.H.S. Sincerely yours.

Wealth of beauty, joy and sunshine. Nature’s best my longings fill. While I trudge along a pathway Toward the high school on the hill. Let the past become the present, Brush the mists of years away. And once more upon that hilltop High school is a yesterday. There’s a chamber in my memory, In my heart are held the keys, And its treasure, schooldays’ pleasures Will remain till heavens’ cease.
