Many of our speakers and writers would have us worried to the point of nightmares (‘‘civ- ilization is about to destroy itself,” ‘the atomic bomb has given us the power to blow the earth to“ pieces, petce ctGay) = I would have you dream of the kind of world this would be if every high school graduate every year could be given a trip like the one Betty Green, L. H. S., ’45, has just concluded. Never can Betty or any other of the young people in her party look at a Russian, an Englishman, a Czech or any other “foreigner” in anything but a tol- erant light. On Will Rogers’ monument is inscribed, “I never hated any man I knew.’ For a fraction of UNITY IS STRENGTH UNITY! What a big word it is, for now we use it in terms of the whole world—not just in terms of forty-eight states or one hundred thirty million people. The only defense we have against the atomic bomb is the Unity of all peoples. We must leave high school without prejudices against any group of people because of creed, color or race. We must be determined to broaden our education, outlook and understanding, whether we go into the service, to work, or to college. The motto chosen by this class of 1946 is vital! Let us not forget it. bag the sum spent on the recent war, every nation could send its high school graduates on good-will tours of the world,—and I don’t mean _ hurried, sightseeing tours. For only a part of the money paid to munitions-makers the nations of the world could make ambassadors of peace out of their high school graduates. No nation has a monopoly of all virtues. This our good-will tourists would find: that the com- mon people of every land are good, decent folks. “IT never hated any man I knew” would be said by more and more people if only we dreamers could spend as much on the promotion of inter- national understanding as we spend on instru- ments of death. ONWARD TOGETHER The army of the young, marching onward, is. the sign of development. The traversing of life's bridge, with hands joined, insures the safety of the number instead of merely the salvation of the individual. Now can we say that unity is the bar- ricade that obstructs the destructive force of the current, the current that would sweep the lonely member of human society toward subversion. How often have we said, “I am independent” or “I have no need of others.”” Yet how paltry would our efforts seem if we tried to withstand the tide of united youth. It is better for us to hold back the current together than to be thrown in- dividually against the rocks, for it has been, is, and always will be known that together we ad- vance, with unity as our strength. M. R. 46 CLASS ADVISORS MISSINA TALIEs HASTINGS MR. ROBERT LASERTE The Class of 1946 gratefully appreciate the unselfish leadership of their Class Advisors who have guided them through their high school years. CLASS OFFICERS MARCEL ROCCA MARY RAY President Vice-President RUTH EATON ELEANOR LYNCH Secretary Treasurer MARCEL XAVIER ROCCA Marcel Xavier Rocca, known to many of us by his nicknames ‘““Marco’’ and “Rock,” was born in the city of Belleville, New Jersey, on February 9, 1929. When he was six Marcel moved to Leominster and attended Spruce Street School. He soon became popular with everyone because of his sincere friend- liness. After Marcel reached junior high he became the holder of many important offices, including being Vice-President. Marcel has been our trustworthy Presi- dent all through high school and has done an excellent job for us. And that isn't a!l this young man has done. He has made the First Honor Roll every year and is the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Magnet. He has always taken one of the ou’standing roles in every play the class of '46 has produced. Although en- joying all sporis, baseball is his favorite and he is a very efficient first baseman. Matcel’s ambition is to make West Point and enter the field of military law. Marcel, we will always remember you as our outstanding leader and friend. Best of luck! MARY A. RAY Mary has taken the Classical Course all through school, where her name has appeared on the Honor Roll. She has proved capable of carrying out the duties of Vice-President of her class for the past three years. Her school activities include being on the Student Cabinet for three years, being a member of the Press Club and serving as President of the Girls’ Glee Club. Mary has participated in all the school sports and consequently has been chosen as a member of the class teams. Her favorite sport is skiing; and when there is sufficient snow on the ground, she can always be found at Sheldon Hill. Various prizes have been awarded to her because of her ability on skis. Mary plans to further her education at either Sargent College or Cornell University where she wants to major in physical education. Her pleasing personality and warm friendliness will surely make her a success. RUTH ELEANOR EATON Ruthie has held a firm position on the ladder of success ever since enter- ing L. H. S., each rung being reached by constant attention to her duties and devotion to her school and ciass. Ruthie enrolled in the Commercial Course upon arriving at L. H. S. and would like to become a nurse after graduation this year. In her sophomore year, Ruthie was elected vice-president of her home room and secretary of the Sophomore Class. Her Junior Home Room also elect¢d her as its secretary; and, once again, Ruthie was elected Secretary of the Junior Class. During her three years in Leominster High, she has been a faithful and active worker on many committees and her name has appeared on the Honor Roll several times. She has been a member of Speech Club throughout her high school career and is secretary this year. a In the winter, Ruthie may usually be found on Sheldon Hill, skiing; but in the summer she enjoys a cool, refreshing swim. Her activities outside of school include membership in the Rainbow Girls, in which she has held many offices. Last year she was president of the Baptist Youth Fellowship. os With such a record in her high school activities, we are sure Ruthie will successfully complete anything she undertakes in future years. ELEANOR LYNCH If you have been around high school at all, probably you know Eleanor, for she is one who stands out in a crowd. “‘Lynchie,’ as some of her friends call her, is a friendly, attractive person who gets along well with other people. Her interest in extra-curricular activities, sports, and her studies combine to make Eleanor an all-round girl. She is a representative for the Student Cabinet, and our Class Treasurer. She has been an officer in her home room during the three years she has been in high school. Her favorite sports are skiing and swimming, and she does all right for herself in both capacities. Eleanor is not certain as to what she intends to do after she graduates. However, she would like to go to college to study dental technology. We are sure that whatever Eleanor undertakes she will meet with success and happiness. JAMES ALLEN ALI Musician House of Seven Gables 2; L. H. S.

GEASS Smn@EM ONWARD ‘46! As men unite in peace and war, To reach the goals they’re striving for, So we in turn must join to aid Our classmates in a brave crusade. There’s much to do in days ahead To right a world which has been bled. And now and then we'll have to fight, To win the things we all think right. As future citizens we yearn A modest livelihood to earn. Meanwhile as members of the throng We'll strive to help the world along. We've studied hard for quite a spell To learn our fundamentals well. While some aspire to power and fame, The bulging purse we'll not disdain. And whether doc, or engineer, Financial shark, or country seer, Or teacher, or a merchant chief, We'll each make good-stay off relief. But always as we march along Through strife or peace, through tears or song, We'll not forget old ’ 46— In business or in politics. We'll show the world that we can be A force for good in liberty. So on, with courage all the way, Hor) Emrio.eands Usecees): Barbara A. Brown. HISTORY AND HOY FALOY I came in °43, Gale Seats ase To see what I could see, And graduate too fast! 1943-1944 To rack my brain, I know, ts useless still. For I have slipped beyond the help of pill. And yet the chance is left to but my will Alone. Before I’ve been all through the mill, May I attempt to help, again redeem? Or should I stay as lazy as I seem? And, if I satisfy this silly dream, Will my report, with better, good marks gleam? Term I In September, 1943, I came to L. H. S. as one of a class of bewildered sophomores. It seemed strange, at first, not to hear those old familiar words, “No talking” and “Single file, please,” but after those first two hectic weeks I got used to my new environment. During this first term I wrote my five-minute spcech and stood up in class ard recited it rather nervously. Whew! What a job that was, but, along with everyone else, I came through with flying colors! Term II This term was exciting in many ways, one of which was those snappy football games, which really pepped up our school spirit. To welcome the class of °46, the Seniors held a Sophomore party, at which we all had a won- derful time and became more thoroughly ac- quainted with all those friendly (?) Seniors. The Annual Interclass Play Contest was pre- sented on December 10. Our one-act comedy, en- titled “Getting Pinned,’ won first place. To top that, Martha Celli walked off the stage with the “Best Actress’ award for a marvelous perform- ance. Term III At the beginning of this term I wondered what would be the result of our class election. As you know, Marcel Rocca won the presidency; Mary Ray, the vice-presidency; Ruth Eaton came out as secretary, and Nancy Dennis, as treasurer. The basketball season afforded us plenty of excitement, and that fine-working team chalked up an enviable record. As you recall, the Junior Prom gave many of us sophomore boys a chance to take our best girls to one of the many big events of the year. Life naturally took on a beautiful aspect that night. Term IV Gosh, with the school year over half completed, I began to wonder what my junior year would hold in store for me and my classmates. Although this term was quite uneventful, I carried on. The end of the year seemed to come too soon. Term V Amidst the rush of the graduating class I thought to myself how wonderful it would be not to have to attend school for that extra week. June came around quickly, and with a sigh of relief I recetved my dreaded report card, which gave the answer to my future in high school. 1944-1945 School again! My junior year began with a rush. Almost before I realized it, I was recit- ing another five-minute speech. Everyone in the school was given an aptitude test to reveal his abilities in the various subjects. During this first term many of the boys from the class of ’46 entered the armed forces. Term II Boy, what a football team we had this year. From the way it looked we thought we could win even from Fitchburg. The election of the Junior class officers resulted in the same fine political machine as that of last year. That is: Marcel Rocca, as_ president; Mary Ray, as-vice-president; Ruth Eaton, as sec- retary; and Nancy Dennis, as treasurer. Thus the Class of 1946 was again well repre- sented. On November 17, the Annual Interclass Play Contest was presented by the Speech Club. The Junior Class won second place with the one-act play, ‘Bargains in Carthay,”” while the Sophomore comedy, “Wild Hobby Horses” took first place. Term III This term gave the class something to remem- ber, for during one of the worst snowstorms of the year, Henry Scott, the famed pianist, gave a concert at the City Hall. Our class netted quite a profit even though the snow was piled high _above the hydrants. The home room basketball tournament came out perfectly for our class. Room 9 won the championship and made our class victorious. Term IV Is Jealousy the spice of life? Or is it just a tempered strife? And what can now be wrong with me? To cause this bitter jealousy ? His charm, I know, is greater now Than is my own, a graceful cow. But yet I know I want the prize Above the guy whom I despise. What does she think I long to hear. That I may weep, or maybe cheer? I’m not a fine or swoonsome boy, But what is all this hoy faloy? The time really flew by, for during this term our class had its Junior Prom; but, even though the storm of colors was beautiful and the orches- tra superb, not many couples turned out for this gala occasion. Orchids should go to both the advisors and the officers for the work they did to make the prom a SUCCESS. Term V Again the end of the year came too quickly, and I began to look forward to my senior year and graduation. Finally, it was June 21, and school was over again for two short months. 1945-46 A Senior play and game and dance! No leisure holds me in its trance. With the sport of flunking an English test, And passing some of all the rest, I would find time, if I would try, To rack my brain and hold it high, Above the heads of smarter Joes, Who seem to be indifferent foes. But will I leave my love of fun, Become a lone wolf on the run? Or should I sleep and eat and sing? What tidings will the New Year bring? Term I School again started on time, and I found my- self laboring under the old strain of that des- perate morning sprint to reach my home room before the tardy bell! As the enrollment was checked, I found that the boys were outnumbered by the fair ones. (Ha!) With gratitude to all, I point to the Senior Class election results: Marcel Rocca, president; Mary Ray, vice-president; Ruth Eaton, secretary; Eleanor Lynch, treasurer. (This is a fine political machine if there ever was one!) Being second to only the Juniors, Seniors were not too sad about the Interclass Play Contest; and besides, Mary Oakley, ’46, literally ran over all opposition to cop the best actress medal. Everyone was very much disturbed by the lowa and Boston University Tests, plus the grinds of five-minute speeches, and the usual home work study. All my hard work was rewarded, how- ever, when I read those high marks on my first term report card? Term II Boy, the Blue and White football squad was really a smooth-runn ing outfit. Let’s hope that basketball, baseball, and track do as well as the gridiron game did. I wonder if all the L. H. S. eager beavers would have worked during Christmas vacation with no Charity Ball in view! If any scholarly personality is curious, those long faces were acquired from results of the al- most forgotten Aptitude Tests. Well, there’s nothing like going into the pearl-diving business. Term III Alone I stand to think the thought, Of what to do, or to do not, And realize that you are here, Although your presence isn’t clear. The night has gone, the morning come, And you must know that I am dumb, For through the evening, time and time, I wasn’t worth a wooden dime. But maybe you, in Angel’s stead, Can now sustain my troubled head. Will someone hit me with a bomb? She spoke her thanks about the Prom! We are yet reminiscent over the gay Senior Prom, and we have sharpened our ears to the pleasant rhythm of a Juntor Hop orchestra. Our L. H. S. basketballers surely are enjoying their season. I know now that you don’t have to win to be happy. Please don’t mention writing to any Senior yet because the chances are that he or she is still feel- ing confused and tired after the completion of an excellent Senior Essay. Gabriel Heater, Clifton Fadiman, Fred Allen and all important radio personalities can once more breathe easily. George Smith, Helen Mann, Marcel Rocca, Carol Spalding and Pat Green cer- tainly did a commendable job as they answered many questions in good voice. The quiz of schools brought them victories over Lunenburg, Fitchburg and Townsend. We at Leominster High can all be proud of our station WEIM Einsteins. Why do sad, sad report cards have to follow such a happy term session ? Term IV Yes, there was plenty to be offered as I started on the last lap of my race with Leominster school- ing. Together with track, baseball, Senior Class Play, Junior Prom and clubs like Hoya Frater- nity, I found myself under the work of any con- fused dilemma victim. Those lucky underclass- men know not what is in store for them. Yes, I of the 1946 graduating class know that my time as a Leominster High student has been short, yet successful in phases of remembrance. I also am sure that I reflect a popular sentiment as I look ever toward the horizon where good fortune and harmony lie in waiting for the unity and individualism of my class. Brainfully, JOE DOAKES.

THE IDEAL BOY AND THE IDEAL GIRL Would you like to meet an ideal boy and an ideal girl? After careful consideration we have come across with the following descriptions of a high school boy and a girl whom we think you would like to meet. Our ideal boy isn’t another Van Johnson, but we think he’d make any girl’s heart beat faster. He would have Franny Crowley's brown, curly hair; Roger Davidson's light green eyes, and Ray Lemay’s “School Boy’ complexion. We would also like him to have a personality like George Smith's, the sharp appearance of John Bovenzi, and the brains and ability to “get ahead” of Mar- cel Rocca. At the proms he should have Bob Vorse’s dancing ability, and Bob LaFrance’s smile to keep the girls happy. Turning to the field of sports, he should have a physique like Richy Pizzuti’s, and the athletic ability of Dick Chester to keep L. H. S. on top in any compett- tive sport. Now let’s look at the sugar and spice depart- ment to find out what traits an ideal girl should have. Anna Tata’s long, brown, curly hair, Ar- lene Mullan’s ‘Palmolive Complexion,” and Ruth Roffee’s blue eyes would make any solid Joe sit up and take notice. The ideal girl should also have a personality like Eleanor Lynch’s, the smooth appearance of Joan Tunstall, and the academic standing of Carolyn Spalding. Our ideal couldn’t help being busy at school dances if she had Pat Green’s winsome smile and Ginny Lakso’s dancing feet. To complete the picture, she must have Paula Raatikainen’s athletic ability to keep the girls continuously on top in any of our sports. You may be able to think of many other fea- tures which you would like an ideal Joe or Jane to have, but with a background like this, how could anyone go wrong? WHO'S WHO (cont.)

The production was one of the most elaborate in the history of high school dramatics, and it involved the services, in some capacity, of each member of the class. As its gift to the children of the city schools, the Class pre- sented a special matinee on the afternoon of Wed- nesday, April 24, at which 700 young people of the Junior High School and the elementary pub- lic and parochial schools were guests. TRAC E.ONG_ CEE Friends all, what will this stage unfold tonight? What scenes have you desire to see portrayed ? Wouldst thou behold a sad and tragic plot Provoking tears, and piteous lamentation ? Or one of truth, historic and profound ? Then can we please you not. Or is't thy wish to see enacted here Some story with a moral grave and true; Or dost thou choose to watch a gory tale Of mystery unfold, with many a chill Of sharp suspense—a wicked, murd’rous plot? This may we not fulfill. Nay, not such things, but these we bring to thee: Sweet love, youth’s merry pranks, life’s joyful spring ; We only ask that you may laugh today, And then, remem’bring afterward, be gay.

The news gathered by its reporters has appeared in the Senior High News of the Leominster Daily Enterprise every Saturday night. Among the most outstanding weekly features, the Training Table has contained the biography of a boy or a girl well known in our school sports. The Editorial Staff of the Enterprise has acted graciously as an advisory board and helped with many of the problems affecting the gathering and preparation of news. The Press Club has also served the school by assisting the office in gathering important facts about graduates, by acting as a publicity bureau for school-sponsored activities, by keeping a scrap book of all school activities, and by sponsoring an occasional assembly or social event. The club has been efficiently led by the Editor- in-Chief, Gary Mansur, ’47, under the supervision of Mr. John Joyce. MAGNET BUSINESS STAFF The business dealings of the Magnet yearbook of 1946 have been handled by Mrs. Lydia Hawes and the members of the business staff. This group, together with the Editorial Staff, are responsible for our fine yearbook. One of the most important duties of this club was to get the glossies for the graduation pictures in order and decide on the arrangement. They also got the adve rtisements from various stores and companies who sponsor our book and take orders for the book from the students. The officers are: Manager—Georgette Cormier, '46. Assistant Manager—Margaret Peck, ’47. Advertisement Manager—Murie Arsenault, '46. Assistant Advertisement Manager—Theresa Casacca, °47. Subscription Manager—Angela Piermarini, '46. Assistant Subscription Manager—Mary Landers, 46. MAGNET EDITORIAL STAFF The Magnet Editorial Staff, which composed and edited this class book, has been directed by Marcel Rocco and Patricia Green, co-editors, and Miss Elizabeth Colley, faculty advisor. All mem- bers of this club were required to have received an average of B in English. The heads of the various staffs have been seniors, but junior members have helped to prepare the material. In doing this, they have gained experience for preparing their own yearbook. The junior editor for this year has been Richard Foltz; he has assisted our senior editors in arranging the book for publication. Great social events for the Magnet Staff were the annual Christmas and spring parties. Com- mittees from the Business Staff and the Editorial Staff got together to plan these parties for the enjoyment of the other members. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB All girls who enjoy singing were given an op- portunity to join the Glee Club. Over forty girls have been sufficiently interested this year to meet every Tuesday after school hours, under the super- vision of Miss Lucile Brown. The club has pre- sented many holiday musical programs and school assemblies. The most outstanding activity of the Glee Club was the Spring Concert, given by the combined Glee Clubs of Fitchburg and Leom- inster. The following girls were elected officers of the Glee Club: President—Mary Ray. Vice-President—Joanne Foss. Secretary—Annabelle Gates. Librarians—Mary Delle Chiaie, Lucy Armil- lotti. THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club is a group of selected boys under the direction of Miss Lucile Brown. The members have been: Nunzio Lattanzio—President. Edgar Maxfield—Vice-President. Ernest Farnsworth—Head Librarian. Robert Roberge—Librarian. Robert Lewis, Robert Baer, David Raher and Elmer Russell. These boys have sung at assemblies, Parents’ Night, the Annual Concert and other special oc- casions. Some of their specialties have been “Without a Song,” “Great Day” and “The Ran- gers Song.” Although this club has been noted for splen- did work, its members have always tried to 1m- prove and have practiced weekly. All members have fairly good voices, but most of all they have liked to sing a great deal. fe Xk nk x We greatly appreciate the fine work Mrs. Ferguson has done in the music department dur- ing Miss Brown's prolonged absence. THE CHORAL CLUB The members of the Choral Club were chosen from over one hundred students who were inter- ested. The members, like those of the other mu- sical organizations, have sung for the Parents’ Night in November, for assemblies, and at the Joint Concert with Fitchburg. Rehearsals have been held only once a week during X Period. Club members have delighted in singing of oratorios and light opera by such composers as Bach and Sullivan. This group is one of the finest of its kind because it consists of the best singers in L. H. S. Miss Brown is the excellent director. Under her, leadership the Choral Club has become a great success. Miss Brown has been assisted by: President—Nunzio Lattanzio. Vice-President—Eleanor Mackey. Secretaries—Sue Sanders and Gerry Kilcoyne. Librarians—Chiare Del Guidice, Mary Tata, Daniel Paquette and Wilfred Gaillardet. THE LEOMINSTER HIGH SCHOOL BAND Our L. H. S. Band, directed by Mr. J. Richard Sutcliffe, is one of the important parts of every football game. No game would be complete without the familiar strains of our school song and other rousing airs. The sight of those bright blue uniforms adds considerably to the spirit of the team and the spectators. The Band, however, does not exist solely for the football games. It has taken part in parades, assemblies and the Joint Concert with the must- cal organizations of Fitchburg. Because of the fact that this year many band members have had afternoon jobs, rehearsals have been cut down to once a week. This means that the members have foregone seeing the assemblies for the sake of practicing. Several members of the Leominster Junior High Band have been used to swell the ranks. Hats off to the Band for the fine job they have been doing under difficult con- ditions. ORCHESTRA The L. H. S. Orchestra is an important organi- zation in our school. Under Miss Lucile Brown's fine leadership it has made outstanding conttri- butions to some of our musical assemblies. On Tuesday or Thursday during Period F the members have rehearsed faithfully for coming events. The officers for the year of 1945-’46 have been: BUENA DCE Li, Babs tia cies. crete ds Louis Tata, °46 Assistant Manager ........

During the year, its members have sold football pencils and Christmas cards. They also sponsored a favorite movie at one of the local theaters. Most of the meetings have been held outside school at someone’s home. This has added to the friendliness ard good spirit of the group. Mrs. Miriam Bucknell, faculty advisor, has been assisted by the following officers: President—Roger Thibaudeau. Vice-President—Patricia Green. Secretary—Sally Harrison. Treasurer—Margaret Smith. Several committees, each having a_ specified duty, have been an important factor of the club. A very large enrollment has helped the club have a very successful year. PRE-INDUCTON CLUB The Pre-Induction Club prepares its members for service in the Armed Forces of the United States. It acquaints members with the general classification test and invites all boys nearing eighteen years of age to spend Tuesday X Periods with Mr. Laserte of the faculty. This year, in addition to group guidance, there has been in- dividual guidance for those boys who entered the service at mid-years or who plan to enter in June. This wartime addition to the Leominster High School curriculum is being continued during our postwar emergency. THE SPEECH CLUB One of the most outstanding clubs at Leomin- ster High School is the Speech Club. This club, which has met once a month on a Wednesday evening, has consisted of seventy-two active mem- bers. Early in the year various committees were appointed to help make the club the best of its kind. The members of the Speech Club have pre- sented plays, monologues and speeches, and they have sponsored activities, including dances. The members are more than grateful to Miss Ricker for her unselfish efforts and deep under- standing, which have made this club very enjoy- able. The officers are: President—Patricia Becrelis. Vice-President—Raymond Arris. Secretary—Ruth Eaton. Treasurer—Valida Little. T. A. C. The Leominster Teen Age Canteen, which has been in full swing for over a year now, held its first anniversary party on February 16, 1946. The organization has become highly successful under the management of Martin H. Burns, advisor: Rene Rheault, president; Nancy Dennis, vice- president; Gloria Spadaro, secretary; Charmayne Bonner, treasurer, and the executive board, con- sisting of Marcel Rocca, Mary Ray, Virginia Lakso, Mary Oakley, Roger Davidson, Patricia Becrelis, Irene Howard, James Coughlin, Phyllis Tessier, Sally Harrison, Margaret Smith, Alfred DePasquale, Guy Barassi, Constance Bovenzi and Sally Nicholson. Open every Saturday night, T. A. C. is a haven for the Teen Agers of Leominster and vicinity. The music is provided by either records or—on special occasions—engaged orchestras. Johnny Newton is a favorite among the members; how- ever, Frankie Kahn, Eddie Hamilton and Allan Curtis are also quite popular. T. A. C. has sponsored many special dances; such as the Victory dance, the Christmas party, the New Year's party and the very special Mardi Gras just before Lent. For those who don’t like to dance, there are games downstairs; such as ping-pong and various kinds of checkers. Also, there is a “Coke Bar” where soft drinks and candy are served. The membership is large—about 500 and every week more young people are joining. We are all proud of our Teen Age Canteen, and we know that future generations of Teen Agers will also be very proud of it. BABY PICTURES ack Page) B SWeTS ON ”, A ( - 46 1945 SOCCER After tennis came soccer, the first sport played in competition. A large group attended the prac- tices, which shows that although soccer 1s quite new and not so popular in this section of the country, the girls were eager to learn new sports. On the Senior Class Team were Valida Little, Ruth Roffee, Nancy Dennis, Mary Oakley, Joanne Foss, Virginia Lakso, Marilyn Larkin, Ruth Rob- bins, Pat Green, Barbara Pickford, Lucy Armil- lotti, Barbara Piper, Natalie Ingalls, Doris Houle and Mary Ray. The Senior team played both the Sophomore and the Junior teams. Although the teams played hard and furiously, both games ended with a scoreless tie. The Junior team was chosen to play the Seniors again. This time the Senior girls, de- termined to win, played a wonderful game. It ended in a smashing victory for the Seniors, with a score of 6 to 0.

But, as noted in many a gridiron contest, the team that could gather in the points after touchdowns was the one rewarded with victory. Leominster High in racking up two T. D.’s and an extra point with each downed a hard fighting Drury Club 13 to 12. Eked Out Win Capitalizing on a forty-yard heave, Waltham High eked out a six to 0 decision over a scrappy Blue and White eleven. Outside of this well ex- ecuted play in the first period, Leominster High battled on even terms with the Waltham boys and looked good even in losing the ball game. Margin of Victory Two touchdowns set up by a pair of beautiful passes was the difference between victory and a tie ball game as a favored Nashua team defeated Leominster High 13 to 0. Trying desperately to score in the final minutes of play, the Broderick men smashed their way to the hostiles’ five-yatd stripe only to have the game end at this point. Well Trained Having dropped two successive contests the Blue and White warriors were well trained for this game at Springfield. Unleashing great aerial and ground strength, Leominster High played up to its old-time stamina and smothered the home team by a score of 33 to 0. Startling Run-back After running back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, St. Bernard’s High failed to pene- trate Leominster territory throughout the remain- der of the game. The Blue and White line strengthened, and the backs ran wild as Leomin- ster High piled up 26 points to the Bernardians’ 6. Lack of Reserves Leominster and Arlington played on even terms for three periods, both having scored 12 points. Lack of reserves prevented the Blue and White from keeping pace with Arlingtons’ fast charges in the final quarter, though, and the big Red tal- lied 14 additional points before the final whistle blew. Final score: Arlington 26-Leominster 12. Spirited and Colorful Foe A spirited and colorful Clinton High team was ready to give Leominster a battle this day such as it had never given before. Smashing and plough- ing throughout the contest in attempts to score, Clinton came close to doing just that on several occasions, only to have the Blue and White team buckle down and halt the threat. Leominster, on the other hand, ran into the same kind of diff- culty in their attempts to register, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Taking to the Air Once again taking to the air Leominster High scored all its points via the pass route and routed Manchester West 20 to 0. Manchester played a good defensive game, but it wasn’t good enough to hold the ripping Blue and White backs in check. Off Day Numerous penalties and costly fumbles kept Leominster High out of pay dirt at Gardner where the Chair City boys defeated the Blue and White 6 to 0. The home team’s score was set up by a pass in the third period. Muddy Affair Under the severest downpour imaginable, the Red and Gray of Fitchburg met the Blue and White of Leominster in the traditional Turkey Day classic. Fitchburg, aided by a fine end run that featured good down-the-field blocking, drew first blood in the second period when they scored their lone six points. Leominster quickly re- taliated in the third quarter on a sustained drive that saw the Blue and White rack up eight con- secutive first downs, good for about ninety yards and the tying six points. The try for the point after touchdown failed. That marked the end of the scoring in the game, for by now, the rain was coming down in buckets. To handle the ball with any kind of proficiency was highly impossible.

H. S. is basketball. This year the girls started the season with much enthusiasm. Miss Lavin began the practices early, in order that the girls would real- ly be prepared to undertake the out-of-town teams. There is exceptional interest in this sport and a great deal of talent in the teams. The class games were played, with the Juniors winning the honor. On this team were Beverly Richards, Pat Becrelis, Marjorie Porter, Anna Tata, Maxine Hertel, Diana Chiumento, Barbara Brown, Sally Harrison and Audrey Fitzgerald. The Senior team consisted of Valida Little, Lucy Armillotti, Nancy Dennis, Ruth Roffee, Joanne Foss, Natalie Ingalls, Mary Oakley, Bar- bara Pickford, Marilyn Larkin and Mary Ray. The varsity team played games with the Alum- nae, Ashby, Hopkinton and Gardner.

SOFTBALL Softball was one of the favorite sports. A very large group attended the practices. Under the able leadership of Miss Gladys Lavin, the girls im- proved rapidly in their batting, pitching, and fielding. VOLLEY Early in the year there was a large group of girls from all three classes who turned out for volley ball. They practiced for several weeks before the class games. Although the competitive spirit was high in all three teams, the Seniors won two victories, one The varsity team was kept extremely busy play- ing three games a week. Among the other teams played on a home to home basis were Lancaster, Townsend, Lunenburg, Orange, Hopkinton and Gardner. BALL over the Sophomores, and one over the Juniors. These successes made them the champions for the ear. ‘ Senior girls playing were: Ruth Roffee, Valida Little, Mary Oakley, Barbara Pickford, Nancy Dennis, Natalie Ingalls, Beverly Osborne, Barbara Piper, Marjorie Davis, Mary Ray and Pauline Ash. BOWLING Every Tuesday night through November, De- cember and January, the high school girls assem- bled at the Recreation Alleys, where, under the supervision of Miss Lavin, they really made those pins fly. The girls were divided into competing teams. The Seniors among this interested group were Pat Green, Perina DeCarolis, Joanne Foss, Janet D’Arcy, Gerry Burke, Barbara Aston, Mariorie Aston, Lorraine LaChance, Jean Gordon, Bar- bara Pickford, Gloria Kalin, Carolyn Spalding, Martha Celli, Virginia Lakso, Valida Little, Terry Duplease, Ruth Roffee, Mark Oakley, Mary Ray, Phyllis Mackie, Joan Tunstall and Marion Har rington. Special teams were chosen from each class, and these bowled to determine the class winners. The winners were the Seniors, whose team consisted of Janet D’Arcy, Valida Little, Pat Green, Gerry Burke and Marjorie Aston. SKIING One of the healthiest exercises and most pop- ular sports is skiing. Every Wednesday during the winter months (weather permitting) many high school girls are seen at the Leominster Skt Tow. Under the able tutorship of Miss Gladys Lavin, these girls really learn their “snow plows’ and “‘christies.”’ TENNIS The girls’ sports are really underway this year under the direction of our able and willing phys- ical education teacher, Miss Gladys Lavin. Early in the fall the tennis practices were held regularly at the Monoosnock Country Club. A group of very much interested girls took advan- tage of the opportunity to learn this popular sport. Senior girls attending regularly were Paula Raatikainen, Ruth Roffee, Valida Little, Nancy Dennis and Marion Harrington. SQUAD A TEAM SQUAD B TEAM BASKETBALL The Leominster High School Basketball Quin- tet blew hot and cold this year in winning seven games and losing the same number. To start the season, they lost a heartbreaker to a very strong alumni team. They also lost two games to Fitch- burg and Nashua. They won two games from Marlboro and split with St. Bernard’s and Clin- ton, winning one of the games with each and losing the other. The only bright spots were the victories over Gardner High, once there and once here. They also beat the Foster-Grant Co. team of the City’s Industrial League.
