It hopes that in the years to come, it will be more than a chronicle of school events — that it will reopen doors to memories that will be forever cherished, recall friendships and associations, and serve to brighten your corner, and bring happiness wherever you are. DEDICATION To George L. Beach whose long association with, and helpful assistance to the student life of N. B. H. S. has endeared him to all of us, we dedicate this Book. Coming to New Bedford in 1915, he has served the school continuously, except for the time when he was in the armed services of the First World War. He has been on the Athletic Council for twenty-five years, and is now serving as Agent for Sargent Field. His genial manner, and sympathetic understanding, together with his interest in all student activ- ities, has made him a dynamic factor in our school life. Classbook Committee Seated, Left to Right—Gilda Perez, Shirley Travers, Veronica Moniz, Joan Robinson, Dolores Rego, Mary Lou Kelley, Gisela Ruhroth, Ruth Mello, Joseph Lemos, Roberta Chace, Florence Chase. Standing—Phyliis Harrop, Joan Hall, June Coggeshall, Steve Peirce, Jean Paul Grennon, William Skinner, Samuel Coelho, Alda Pinto, Hazel Pinto, Ronald Sequin. CLASS MOTTO Virtute non vi viam faciamus.

Ce Te MESS The Girl’s Auxiliary Military service was formed in 1941 as a means of giving the girls a knowledge of military procedure and keeping them physically fit, and has been very successful ever since. Their black and white uniform has become very familiar to those who have seen them marching in parades or performing other civic duties during the school year. The G. A. M. S. ball is sponsored by its officers each year and is an outstanding social event. wae See COMPANY B ib COMPANY C COMPANY A First row, left to right—Lillian Cordeiro; Maureen McCarthy; Barbara Davis; Janice Clark, Ist Lieut.; Pa- tricia Cassidy, Captain; Eileen Hindle, 2nd Lieut.; Vivian McGee; Eleanor Sival; Lilia Pires.

FCOTBALL The first string in football consists of eleven players, however there were fourteen players on our first team this year — the reason — every- one of them belonged there.

B. vs VOKE N. B. vs DURFEE New Bedford vs. Voke Engaging in their first are light tilt for many a season the pencil pushers of N.B.H.S. really pushed the strong armed boys from Vocational all over Sargent Field. N.B. scored on the first play of the second quarter when Herlihy stepped over from the one foot line to score, the place- kick was good and the score read 7 - 0. Pmt 147 ao In the second half New Bedford capitalized on Voke’s sad mistakes by racking up two more T. Ds. A beautiful 55 yd. run by substitute “Dada” Watkins on an intercepted pass which sent him romping down the sidelines unmolested to score the 2nd touchdown. The final 6 points came in the last quarter with 3 minutes left to play. Ray Gamache and “Rabbit” Letourneau carried the ball up to the Voke 6 yd. line, where Joe Daluz put on his winged shoes and flew around his own left end on a re- verse, sending him into the end zone untouched. Long before the even- ing was over Coach Dodge cleared the benches and practically everyone got a chance to play. The N.B. line charged hard throughout the bruising contest to com- pletely cut Vocational’s ground gain. Only Grimley’s short passes pro- vided a never serious threat to the Crimson. This victory gave back to N.B.H. the City Scholastic-Championship which it lost last year to Voke who scored late in the game on a short pass; the score 6-0. Prediction Watch “Rabbit” Letourneau and “Dada” Watkins — two fine backs. Watch Bill Taylor Quarterback. I do not believe that there will ever be another Joe Bettencourt, but I say this much for Bill, — he knows how and when to call ’em. Crimson 12 — Taunton 7 A 40 yard pass from Ray Gamache to fleet-footed Joey Daluz in the first period put New Bedford ahead 6-0. In the second period ae A Ress neither side was able to do much damage so the half ended with New Bedford out in front. However in the second half we saw a different Taunton team take to the field, a team which was out to win, but, so was New Bedford. In the last quarter the Orange and Black scored a touchdown and the extra point. The score read Taunton 7 New Bedford 6. With less than a minute left to play a pass from Gamache to Buteau placed the ball on the Taunton’s 10 yard line. Gamache went through left tackle to score New Bedford’s second touchdown of the game. The game ended giving New Bedford its third victory. Gamache and Daluz were the outstanding backs of the game. Quarterback Eddie Clias of Taunton provided quite a spectacle with his accurate passing as he stood out for the Taunton Eleven. Durfee 7 — New Bedford 0 A 46 yard pass in the last ninety seconds of a tough battle, gave the highly favored Durfee Eleven its eighth straight victory, at Sargent Field before a record breaking crowd of 15,000 rabid fans. It was a very poor pass from Andrews to Brenner that broke the camel’s back. It was the same old story of New Bedford outplaying its foe, gaining 8 first downs to Durfee’s 2 and picking up 132 yards rushing compared to a measly 52 yards of their opponents. There was only one penalty in the game and it was a five yard penalty for offside against New Bedford. In the third quarter previous to this penalty New Bedford had marched 91 yards straight up hill field to score a touchdown with Gamache plung- ing over for the score. However this touchdown was nullified because the Crimson were offside. Brother how this really hurt; however this was not all; more misery was yet tocome. It was still New Bedford’s ball on the Hilltopper’s 10 yard stripe. Something happened on the next play between Herlihy and Gamache; the result was a fumble and Durfee recovered. The great star Andrews of Durfee who all season long had smashed the line of opposing teams took a back seat when he tried to go through the Crimson forward wall. New Bedford was credited with be- ing the only team besides East Providence to hold him in check. In playing his last game for High School Ray Gamache was the outstanding player cn the field. He really played a wonderful game. Joe Daluz and Larry Buteau deserve just as much praise. The boys played a great game and believe me when I say it was a tough game to lose, —— very tough. Line-coach Ray O’Leary of N.B. said after the Durfee game “He once thought there would never be another Crimson line like the group with New Bedford’s unbeaten state championship club of 1941; but he was more proud of this years front wall in defeat than he ever was of the “41” line in its many great triumphs.” Head Coach Win Dodge remarked after the game “The boys played great football and deserved to win. We did not get a break and luck was against us. I thought the line played a great game. And, I’m proud of the way they stopped Andrews.” AO re Memories of the Good Old Days The Cheerleaders ee , The Crowds The Machine . ee ee A Fumble The Bench In No Mans Land SPORTS — FOOTBALL — CLASSBOOK The long walks to Sargent Field — the splashing of cold water in the shower room — telling Bebchick to shine our football shoes for tomorrow’s game — dogin the warm-up exercises — doing one lap instead of the five that you’re supposed to do — the “friend- ly” game scrimmages — Mr. O’Leary and his “own” methods of keeping in shape — the firm yet wise advice from the “wimp” — game time — the little bugs crawling around in your stomach — the sleepless preceding nights (you couldn’t sleep, for you were thinking about the game) — the number of TD’s you would score — the number of pas- ses you would intercept — the 97 yard dash you would make through the whole team to NEXT score the only touchdown in the closing se- conds of the game — the making of all the important tackles — all these are recollect- ions. What dreams! Huh! Then there is Don Slocum and his one (1) CE false pivot tooth (I hear he’s so used to his peas mouthpiece that he sleeps with it) — Sy BROTHER Lecomte and his “Big, Big Mass” of hair — the way our boy Ray Gamache posed for those pictures — Joe Donnelly’s saying he was from Italy one day and Ireland the next, and the way he used to raise hell in that shower room. What a guy! I understand that he and Gamache are in the Naval Reserve. Ye gads! what a combination! Larry Buteau and that be-o-ti-ful schnoz of his — Joe Daluz and his “1946 Buick sedan” — (Have you ever seen 11 guys pile into a 1929 Chevie? Joe has!) —- Ed Toomey and Skowran with one eye open for Dodge (while they were smoking) and the other guy keeping track of all their “wimmen” — poor Jim O’Brien who was moved to so many positions on the line he began to look and feel like a checker — Bill Herlihy in a huddle with ten other guys trying to tell him which play to call — big Joe Forand who became a regular buddy when the squad learned that he had a car of his own — Don MacGuiness and his “Bi-focals’ — Don Davies a darn good end and a hard worker — Don “Breakaway” Hall owner of a smile that made the girls go “crazy” (incidentally Don was absent when football pictures were taken and when he learned about the picture he said, “I’ll never smile again”) —- handsome boy! Yep! those were the days! They are gone forever, but the joys and sorrows will linger with us. As the years pass and we flock to the gridiron as spectators to watch our Alma Mater play, per- haps there will be a tear or two as we recall the days when we, too, wore the Crimson colors. In closing I say this: to you who have never participated in sports, you haven’t really lived; to you who have, you have achieved something that the tables of time will never alter. In later years these remembrances will brighten your moments of sadness. Yours in sports, Sammy Coelho, Sports Editor — 152 — BASKETBALL Despite their ups and downs the Crim- son had a fairly successful basketball sea- son with a record of 13 wins and 6 losses. Near the end of the season New Bedford beat Coyle to put the “Dodgemen” in sec- ond place in the Bristol County League. After this victory hopes for an invitation to the M. I. T. Tournament were high. All these hopes were shattered when Mis- sion High of Boston was invited. The Boston team had a record of 22 wins against 2 losses. Perhaps New Bedford’s record wasn’t as impressive as the great teams of past years but they certainly didn’t lack the will to keep trying until the final buzzer sounded. It seems that the boys got the hard breaks all the way, losing several games by one or two points. Again this year New Bedford showed its supremacy on its home floor. They suffered only one defeat at home, which was to the great Durfee team from Fall River. The “Dodge 5” played their best ball of the season during this game. Al- though the score was in favor of Durfee, 46-44, it was a great moral victory for New Bedford. Some of the other close games the team played were: against Vocational, the first game of the season, which we lost by one point; the first game with Holy Family, their narrow court gave the Crimson a lot of trouble; the game with Durfee on our home floor was a heartbreaker. Our first game with Attleboro we lost by one point, 47-48. Fairhaven scored a big upset by defeating the home team, 32-27. Our second encounter with Attleboro was a more fortunate one. The Crimson was on the winning end, 37-35. These are only a few of the many thrilling games the team played. There were many more. Seniors who played on the first team were: Louis Sirois, a great center and high scorer for the season; Don Davies, second highest scorer and did a great job as guard; Bill Herhily, the flashing Crimson guard; Don Lajeunesse, another guard who improved steadily as the season went on; Conrad Gaudraud, who deserves a lot of credit for his smooth passing and shooting; Len Lees, who was a good man under the backboards; and Don McGuiness, who played only half a season due to scholastic difficulties, but was ikng of the backboards in every gamehe played. Other members of the team who might play for our Alma Mater next year are: Norm Nickerson, Joe Correia, Howie Baptiste, Gerry Dlouhy, and Paul Lavoie. Sen- sational, little Jackie Nobega, the speedster who was the sparkplug of the “Crimson 5” this year will be back at the helm next year. Good luck fellows — bring home the bacon, we’re hungry.

As we prepare to receive our diplomas, we think back to the day when we sat in the auditorium listening to Mr. Dorman telling us the rules and regulations, and the best ways to keep out of trouble, especially the Student Court. The excitement we felt when we met to elect our class officers and how proud we were of those who were chosen, namely: Pres. Jean Paul Grenon V. Pres. John Silva Sec. Helen Claus Treas. Bernice Adamsky Our first social gathering was the Freshman Party, after which we all felt that we knew each other better. Many members of our class joined such organizations as the G.A.M.S., Junior Girl’s League, R.O.T.C., Dramatic Club and many others. The excitement of being high school students soon wore off though, and we settled down to our studies. Some of us soon became as used to home work and yellow cards as we were to eating; while others made up their minds that they would become members of the Honor Society. The year went along and soon came that “very much looked forward to event” — summer vacation. When we returned as Sophomores a slight feeling of superiority surged through us. For we knew the routine, whereas our new class- mates from the Junior Highs did not. This year, as our officers we chose: Pres. Jean Paul Grenon V. Pres. Frances Dagenis Sec. Sylvia Reed Treas. Shirley Travers Finally, after forty weeks of studying, we were told whether or not we were to be Juniors. We came back to school, in the fall, with that superior feeling of upper classmen. This feeling soon left when the mighty Seniors showed us where we stood. To represent the Junior class we chose as officers: Pres. Gilbert Brazil V. Pres. Russell Baldwin Sec. Shulamith Ziskind Treas. Shirley Travers Our first formal class dance was the gala and successful Junior Prom. To us, this was THE event of the year. — 156 — Finally in September 1947, the nervous, excited Freshman of ’44 were converted into “mighty, respected, and envied” Seniors. Pres. Stephen Peirce III V. Pres. Charles Alves Sec. Phyllis Harrop Treas. Shirley Travers Those of us who achieved the glory of becoming members of the Honor Society during our four years here were: Alan Ades, Theresa Barboza, Beulah Bellow, Carol Brown, Laurinda Caiado, Milton Cardoza, John Carreiro, Shirley Carter, Nancy Chace, Roberta Chace, Norma Chasin, Clarice Cornforth, Claire Costa, Lucia Costa, Catherine Delano, Ernest Dessert, Maria Freitas, Hilda Gomes, Mary Gomes, Elizabeth Gorman, Mildred Halliwell, Phyllis Harrop, Katherine Hassan, John Kilbride, Jr., Paula LeClaire, Amelia Leconte, Albert Luiz, Helen Macedo, Felicia Marnik, Betty Martin, John Mello, Jr., Joseph Mello, Hilda Meninsky, Edith Miguel, Evelyn Nikonowicz, Sally Pearson, Alda Pinto, Jean Poulton, Dolores Rego, Millicent Rogers, Isalina Sa, Curtis Schwartz, Ronald Seguin, Eileen Serpa, Eleanor Sharp- les, Eldora Sherman, Barbara Shuster, Aaron Siegal, Robert Singleton, Kathleen Stevens, Shirley Travers, Mary Valerio, and Lester Wishnet. Among the above, five held offices in the society. These were: Alan Ades, who was Treas. of the society during his Junior year, Clarice Corn- forth, who was President of the society in 1947-8, Ronald Seguin, who was Vice-President in 1947-8, Isalina Sa, who was Secretary in 1947-8, and Phyllis Harrop, who held the office of Treasurer in 1947-8. Immediately committees were formed to plan the Class Book, Prom, Banquet, Superlatives, Senior-Get-Together and all other Senior Activi- ties. The Class Book committee was the first to start functioning under the direction of our Editor-in-Chief, Gisela Ruhroth. The Senior-Get-Together was held early in the year and was really a success. Our Senior year was one of joy and sorrow. Happiness at the thought of being Seniors, and sorrow at the thought of leaving the many friends we’ve made, in other pupils and members of the faculty. The final social events of this memorable year were the Prom and Banquet. And now, as we receive our diplomas, on June 17th, we bid N.B.H.LS. a sad “Adieu”. The memory of our high school days will be with us forever and we will be thankful for them in future years. Phyllis Harrop, Sec. — 157 — LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of New Bedford High School, of the year of Our Lord, cne thousand and nine hundred and forty-eight do assemble to draw up our last will and testament.

THE GIRLS’ CHOIR The singing of the Girls’ Choir has been welcomed and enjoyed by all who have had the opportunity of hearing it. These girls who are under the direction of Mr. Bonner, love music and harmony and have often been invited to sing for outstanding organizations. ALPHA DEBATING SOCIETY The purpose of this society is to give its members ability in public speaking and to develop clear, logical thinking. Through discussions, open forums, and debate on current world affairs, the members of this popular club acquire poise, open mindedness and valuable knowledge. STUDENT COURT The student court worked in co-operation with the traffic squad to enforce our school’s rules. It is made up of ten members chosen by the principal and it is conducted much like official courts. How many of the more “unfortunates” can ever forget how the defense and prosecuting attorneys both tried to win their respective cases. THE GIRL LEADERS’ CLUB This club was organized in order to provide an opportunity for the girls who possess extra enthusiasm and ability in their gymnastic work. A commando course must be passed by each girl before she becomes a member. — 165 — , i ; i i ; : i ; % —— La — De ac er. ean Lelie irae iegestis an Rs ges tee Abe Pi yt 6t't SATs i] i RY,
