By now you must be aware that time is the measure of life. In your span of years there is no doubt that you have experienced joy and pleasure, grief and pain, but the fact is that time has moved steadily onward, regardless of all feeling. You will continue to travel along the road, for you must go on with time, no matter what you put into it or what you idle away. It is yours for your span of life. Yours to waste or improve—to leave behind a scar, or a candlelight that may shine along the road into the lives of others. What a wonderful gift of God is this opportunity to travel on the Road of Time. Therefore, propose today that you will venture forth hard work, honesty, high purposes, and lofty ideals in your daily living. In this way you will serve as shining guideposts to countless others who will travel the Road of Time in the tomorrows to come. Sincerely yours, The Class of 1959 proudly dedi¬ cates this Maroon to Mr, Barry Argento. It is our way of express¬ ing our gratitude and our sincere appreciation for all that he has done as a teacher, counselor, and friend. 1959 yearbook staff, have worked Jtiy months to produce this volume Within these pages we have Tried to record the many memorable events that have happened to us during our journey through high school.

Their zeal for the welfare of each and every student has won for them the respect and admiration of the entire student body. Th$se two enlightened counselors have also dis¬ tinguished themselves as devoted classroom teachers. This personal contact with the stu¬ dents has placed them at the advantage of knowing each student quite intimately. In this way our students are served more realistically. Guidance English Research Special praise is in store for Arthur Nolette who painstakingly devoted many weeks to the building of this model of the Swan Theater. It is accurate and conforms to the last minute detail of the old Shakespearean theater. It is the contention of the faculty that there are many other students who, like Arthur, are gifted along certain lines. We encourage these students to display their native talents. We assure them that the proper recognition will be given to them. ACTIVITIES Driver Education Program The course in Driver Education is now in thecapable hands of Mr. Barry Argento and Mr. E. Jay Tierney. All must agree that the quality of young drivers that have been turned out in the past three years is ample proof that many potentially good drivers have become better drivers, and that the laws and regula¬ tions of Massachusetts are stronger because of these young, educated drivers.

HARDCOURT HYSTERIA What was in the mind of most observers a question-mark team with an overabundance of untested sophomores turned out to be the winningest and most successful team in Lei¬ cester history. The future of this gifted and well-coached team remains unsaid at this time, but surely it is not less promising. Much of the success of this year ' s unfor¬ gettable season is due to Coach Paige Row¬ den whose faith in these green and untried youngsters was rewarded with a league cham¬ pionship and a tourney title. Sentiment at the start of the season ran along this well-known line, especially if one were brazen enough to discuss this team in championship tones, It couldn ' t be done. You proved it could, Mr. Rowden. Congratulations!!!

VARSITY These action shots show clearly the wide superiority enjoyed by the faculty hoopsters. Leading 21-6 at halftime, the faculty juggernaut was urged by Supt. Tierney to slow down its awesome offen¬ sive. The varsity, meanwhile, had paid a tidy sum of money to referee Ted Provo for a fix-it second half. This bribe and the faculty ' s decision to open the gates of mercy resulted finally in a 41-37 victory for the varsity smoothies. ■■■ ■ . ;v Roger Boudreau Co-Captain George Albro Kneeling, left to right: Co-Captains John McDermott and George Albro.

We hope that you will enjoy with us the happy memories of the last four years as we relive them today. We have been fortunate to have attended a school, which not only has been large enough to provide a good education, but has been small enough to enable each student to share in its spirit of friendliness and loyalty. We hope that the lessons learned here will help us through the years to face each challenge with courage and the will to succeed, and to be always a credit to Leicester High School. CLASS HISTORY As we, the Class of 1959, prepare to enter into the world, putting to use the knowledge we have obtained during our four years at Leicester High School, we pause in retrospection to glance back upon the four years we have spent at L.H.S. In September, 1955, we entered as timid, shy freshmen, but we soon became acquainted with the new routine. We elected our class officers: Jimmy Farrow, president; Franny King, vice-president; Bette Williamson, secretary; and Sandra Hanner, treasurer. Our class was starting off on the long road that would be traveled until June 3, 1959. We returned in the fall of 1956 as frisky sophomores who had only scorn and pity for the incoming naive freshmen. To lead our class we chose Franny Kennedy, president; Franny King, vice-president; Sis Zaveski, secretary; and Sally Streeter, treasurer. We looked forward with great anticipation to our one festive class event—the Sophomore Picnic—and, on a beautiful day, we headed for Whalom Park and had an unforgettable time. That year the educational crossroads were met by a few of our classmates, so we parted with the likes of Richard Robidoux, Carol Shea, Carol Barton, Earl Latour, Al Margadonna, Shirley Slocomb, Pat Foley, Ellen Bergin, and Betty Ringgard. In return we welcomed to our fold the following students: Eddie Curry, Pete Pastorelli, Judy Griffin, Carol Roche, and Judy Keefe. Advancing still further along the road, we returned in the autumn of 1957 as carefree and gay juniors. Leading our class were Franny Kennedy, president; Ronnie Friel, vice-president; Sis Zaveski, secretary; and Ruth Anger, treasurer. With Miss Scannell as our advisor, we ordered our class rings. Their long-awaited arrival, or so it seemed to us, occurred several weeks before Christmas. Spring came busting out all over and all our energies and interests were now channeled to the up¬ coming Junior Prom. We selected the theme of Twilight Time. With the help of Miss Scannell and M iss McPartland, the prom proved to be an outstanding success. We enjoyed life to its fullness that evening and undoubtedly memories of the prom will linger with us down through the years. More casualties were noted that year as we lost these classmates: Sandra Hanner, Sylvia Mac- Kenzie, Sandra West, Eddie Curry, Ann Mongeau, Pat Gallant, Linda Anderson, Franny King, and Ron¬ ald Wiliamson. Yet we were fortunate to extend the hand of greeting to Peggy Morin, Butch Casavan, Ron LaPointe, and Richard Avedian. Finally, after three years of waiting, the coveted title of Seniors was ours as we returned in the fall of 1958. Not to leave things undone we set about immediately and elected our class officers who were Franny Kennedy, president; Cliff Albrecht, vice-president; Ruth Anger, treasurer; and Mary Mc¬ Kay, secretary. Mr. Comer was our class advisor. Three years of stick-to-itiveness paid off as Franny Kennedy and Bill Aho were chosen co-captains of the football team. Mary Young was named D.A.R. Representative, Franny Kennedy was our choice as Student Government Day Representative, and Kathy Harney won the title of Homemaker of Tomorrow. Our class play, The Cannibal Queen, was ably directed by Miss O ' Neil. It was a sparkling suc¬ cess and was enjoyed by all who attended. After the play, plans were started for the Christmas Ball. The hall was decorated in a spirited holi¬ day setting to which we reacted with gaiety and dancing which made for another unforgettable eve¬ ning. That date which seemed as though it would never arrive—April 15, 1959—finally did, and we were on our way to Washington with Mr. and Mrs. Skelley as our chaperones. We saw many famous land¬ marks and spent a fun-filled week with our classmates. It was a thrilling experience that will not easily be forgotten. Our final year also had its share of dropouts. We lost Judy Bickford, Peggy Morin, Judy Dube, Nancy Fyffe, Helen Sheehan, Richard Avedian, and Bob Wood. Newcomers to our class were Sandra Hadley and Nancy McFerrin. The long journey that began in the fall of 1955 is now nearing an end. No longer will we meet each day in Rooms 2 and 3 but, rather, each will go on to follow his chosen pursuit in life. Still, no matter what paths we may take, the happy memories of our four years at Leicester High School will remain with us forever. —Mary E. McKay CLASS PROPHECY Memories of so long ago seem to be the cornerstone of the happenings of the present. Upon gradu¬ ating from Leicester High School, I was unaware of what the future bad in store for me, but here I was—a reporter—waiting with enthusiasm to meet Dr. Dorothy Pisarski, now a famous doctor of re¬ search. My assignment was to accompany Dotty to the Belgian Congo where we planned to make an inten¬ sive study of the incredible advances made by the primitive natives. Of course, I was very eager to hear all about our former classmates so I listened intently to Dotty for all the news of home. It seems that Leicester is now a large sized city and this year elected its first woman mayor— Mary McKay. Politics always did run in her family. The Leicester Weekly News is now the Leicester Daily News and has Ruth Anger as its editor. It was amazing to hear of the many thriving businesses that have sprung up in town. Carol Roche and Judy Keefe are operating a very exclusive dress shop while Ronny Friel and Carol Fitzsimmons have discovered a solution to prevent blushing. Kathy Harney is now a Home Economics teacher. After lunch had been served, I glanced over a newspaper and found that Caroline Shong had a birthday party for the first of her three sets of twins. There was also a series of articles on Mary Young, named Teacher of the Year. One of our pranksters has turned out to be a successful author. Who? Pete Pastorelli, of course. He has just completed a new novel, Butterflies: A Delightful Hobby. I noticed John Sweet ' s ad. He is now a C.P.A. and is in partnership with his wife, Karen Jacobson. It seems also, according to the paper, that Phil Williamson is looking for another secretary. Dotty says it ' s the fourth one this month. There was also an excellent picture of Bill Aho setting in new telephone poles. He always was a darling of the tele¬ phone company. We now arrived at our destination and were met by a helicopter piloted by, of all people, Tommy Dodge. He told us that his late flame, Sandy Hadley, is now a registered nurse and then informed us that Cliff Albrecht owns a men ' s store which specializes in sportswear. His top salesman is Ron LaPointe. As our helicopter landed, we bade good-bye to Tommy and met two starry-eyed missionaries: Nancy McFerrin and her husband, Ollie Johnson. They took us to a missionary school operated by a nun called Sister Zaveski. The kind sister occasionally had the good fortune of visiting home. On her last visit she met Bette Williamson who is now an antique dealer. She told us about Judy Griffin who is the top model for Simplicity Fashions, a magazine owned by Caroline Piper. Judy received her know¬ how from the Steph Chad Modeling School. Later on that day we joined a safari led by, yikes, David Byron, now a big-game hunter in these wilds. He told us that Jim Casavan is a strongman in a circus which features Lenny Anderson. Twice a day poor old Lenny is shot from a cannon. We encamped for the night and presently heard .strange noises. It seems we had camped at the edge of a movie set where Frayer Comtois was the star of a new African Queen series. We talked with Jeannette Donahue who is Frayer ' s private secretary. It turned out that Jimmy Farrow is her leading man. I inquired about Bill Farrow ' s whereabouts and found that he has a photography studio in Hollywood. What a chuckle we were in for when Frayer told us that Killer Claire Mae Lachance is now champion lady wrestler. Frayer also told us that Bob L ' Homme is a Russian diplomat. Just then we saw Lois Bergeron walking toward us. She now owns a chain of Lois ' s Kitchens and was on a business trip to this region. She had recently received a letter from Betty Ringgard who now manages Grant ' s Department Store. Betty relayed the startling news that George Jerome is now a priest and has just been transferred to St. Pius X Parish. She also mentioned that Judy Gabriel is owner of an auto repair shop while Suzie VanHook. is engaged to a professor. She sent along a clipping of Lorr aine Clarkson, Tootie Spooner, and Marilyn Whitney who are now combining their talents for the local P.T.A. Just then Jimmy Farrow interrupted to say that Franny Kennedy had been elected president of Kennedy Die Casting Company and was vacationing at a ski resort operated by Barbara Stearns and her husband. All was in readiness for our departure the next morning. It seemed quite strange that we had heard all about our classmates excepting petite Shirley White. At that moment we glanced down the river and saw her cruising along in a banana boat. We all laughed in amazement but I now realized that everyone in the Class of 1959 has achieved success in one field or another. The fact that we were the 175th class to graduate from Leicester High School has served as a lucky omen, as our careers to date have been colorful and marked with dis¬ tinction. 53 —Patricia H.
