TRA ue ye Shes � ee Paes SHIP’S LOG Property of jjane os an Qu Memoriam © It was with deepest regret that we learned of the sudden death of our beloved librarian. For 22 years she had carried on her work in the high school where she was loved and res- pected by both the faculty and the pupils. Her presence will be missed by all who knew her. Foreword Our thanks and appreciation go to the staff of the Crimson Log. It was they who kept the record of our long voyage so successfully in spite of rising costs and deadlines. To Miss Brady we are most grateful. She was the one who helped us hold true to the course. We have endeavored to capture the memories of our four years’ voyage in N. B. H. S. in the following pages. Our only hope is that when you glance through them in the future, you will regaim glimpses of a cruise such as we will never go on again. —The Editors CLASS MOTTO Sunt sua praemia laudi Merit has its fit reward Aeneid 1, 461 (Geral eed?

Although it was Miss Brady’s first year in this capacity, she did a remarkable job, and our Class Book would not be complete without a word of gratitude and appreciation. It is hoped that in the years to come, other classes will realize how fortunate we and thev were to have her as our Counselor. ee Bat, ALEXA NDEF WOMSO™ SUSAN E.

The social events, the various activities of clubs, the important football and basketball games, and, of course, the “Grapevine” will all bring back pleasant memories some day. ‘The writing staff gains great experience in style, in exactness, and in meeting people. The business department will certainly be able to use the knowledge that it has acquired later on. As for the executive staff, well, they must have a good idea of the problems of running a newspaper. The Courier has be- come traditional at New Bedford High School. It has a high standard which each new staff strives to uphold.

Junior Girls’ oleague The Girls’ Welfare League is divided into a junior and a senior section. Freshmen and sophomores make up the former, while upperclassmen comprise the membership of the latter. Meetings are held weekly. ‘The social counselor is adviser to both groups. The two leagues alternate in going to the City Mission on Friday after- noons to entertain the children there. They also share the project of making tray-favors fog St. Luke’s Hospital for each holiday. ‘Thanksgiving and Christ- mas baskets for the less fortunate were two of this year’s undertakings, as well as a Senior League contribution to the Community Chest and a Junior League project of scrap books and rag dolls for hospitalized children. Senior leaguers each year volunteer to give up study periods to serve at the Hostess Table in the front lobby, to greet visitors to the school and to do errands for teachers and office staff. Many also help in the school library. Working on committees for picnics, informal Christmas and Valentine dances, a tea for faculty and mothers of club members, and the Cotton Ball helped senior leaguers to become better acquainted. The Junior group met for an informal Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged, and held a spring picnic.

Its records date back to 1924, though it was probably in existence even before then. The constitution drawn up at its beginning is still in use. The objects of the society are to furnish training in public speaking and debating, develop poise, and help students gain practice in the organization of ideas and the analysis of contemporary problems. All members take part in various types of inter-club debates and round-table forums. Additional activi- ties of the group are the Varsity and Junior Varsity Debating ‘Teams which are entered in the Narragansett Interscholastic Debating League. Eight debates were scheduled for this year. Alan Novick, varsity team captain, and Harris Weinstein participated in the club’s first three league débates with Rogers High School of Newport, East Providence High School, and Aldrich High School of Lakewood, R. I. New Bedford won unanimous decisions over Rogers’ and Aldrich, and lost by a split decision to East Providence. The Debating Society was in charge of the auditorium on March 2, Student Government Day. A panel of students discussed problems submitted by stu- dents and teachers. ‘Those taking part were George Jacobs, Elizabeth Milliken, Betty Pacheco, Donald Martins, Joyce Pimental, Eleanor Azevedo, Joan Alfonso, Bruce Lennon, Daniel Gillis, and Janice Fournier. Alan Novick moderated. The 1950-51 officers of the society were Alan Novick, president; Harris Weinstein, vice-president; Robert Shapiro, treasurer; Madeline Travers, record- ing secretary; Eleanor Azevedo, corresponding secretary. Alan was also captain of the debating team.

Under Miss Janet Ratcliffe’s direction, the choruses presented their third annual concert in April. With the help of the Dramatic Club, the groups portrayed American folk music along with a complete choral concert of songs ranging from religious to popular. ‘The school’s musical rating is high.

In the fall of 1950, a half-dozen enterprising, young enthusiasts originated a square dance club for the first time in the school’s history. Permission to have the use of the girls’ gym on occasional Monday nights was obtained. Due to the tremendous number of applicants, membership had to be restricted to juniors and seniors. The purpose of the club is to teach the fundamentals of square dancing to as many interested individuals as possible. Instruction has been given by Mr. Charles Dexter, veteran dance caller; Miss.Lillian B. Ross, the club’s faculty adviser; and by Warren Sterns, Adrien Auger, and other club members. 74 First Row: Mr. Carl Bergstrom, Shirley Mello, Sheila Cudish, Janice Newell, Beverly Bollea, Louise DeSimas, Rita Dusseault, Elizabeth Milliken, Edith Rogers, Sally Ann Holmes, Raymond Vieira, Sandra Goldberg, Estelle Siegel, Sylvia Kristoffersen, Eleanor Jones, Barbara Francis, Jean Blanchet, Mary Reis, Mr. Walter Bonner.

Because of the resignation of “Win” Dodge and Charles ‘Tsou- prake, Amos G. Taylor Jr. and his assistant, Jack Cronin, became the new mentors of the team. The squad faced its toughest schedule in the history of the school. In the season’s opener, the team suffered a 6-0 defeat by Providence Central, but bounced back to a victory over Hope High of Providence 37-0. The next five tilts proved to be too much for the inexperienced squad, which lost to Quincy 14-13, to Malden Catholic 20-0, to Rindge Tech of Cambridge 34-6, to St. Raphael of Pawtucket 7-6, and to Springfield Cathedral 20-14. New Bedford’s traditional rivals, Fairhaven and Voke, intended to revenge the one-sided slaughters which they received last year. In thé Fairhaven battle, New Bedford won 13-0. In a closely fought contest, Voke was nipped 7-6. With a much improved eleven, the squad went into the Turkey Day game with Durfee as a two-touchdown underdog, but emerged triumphantly with a 12-6 victory. Although the team’s rating was very low in the state competition, the eleven did capture the City Championship and won even greater honor by being named the undisputed Bristol County Champions. A factor in gaining these titles was the great all-around playing of the hard-plunging Bobby “Da-Da” Watkins. For the second consecutive year, Bobby made the first All-State team. He also, for his third straight year, made the first All-Bristol County eleven, along with Bill Etchells and Joe Dubiel.

Mr. Cronin, who replaced Win Dodge as head basketball coach, inherited players who had comparatively little experience but he managed to get the team to fight hard and flash a good brand of ball occasionally. Jerry Cofield, the elongated center, carried a good share of the scoring punch, with considerable help from Dave Lammers, Norm Nickerson, Billy Dandrea, Ed Moriarty, and Len Cald erbank. John Brennan, a highly promising sophomore, missed several games because of a troublesome ankle injury but provided spark and steady scoring when able to play. Henry O’Brien and Don O’ Malley rounded out the varsity, and they too, showed signs of good basketball. The aforementioned Nickerson is the only player who will not return when the next season commences, as he is a member of the graduating class of 1951. New Bedford’s overall record stood at 8 won and 12 lost. However, its Bristol County League record was 5 won and 5 lost, so they actually didn’t fare too badly. 90 Dave Lammers .

Among these players is Norm Nickerson, a varsity player for four years. Norm has been the Crimson Ist baseman most of the time he has played. A dependable hitter and a good fielder, Norm is one of the standouts in the Crimson infield. One of the best schoolboy catchers in years is Fred Ward. Fred also plays right field when not catching, and is one of the most powerful hitters on the team. He has made quite a few extra-base hits against, Bristol County League foes. Bobby Watkins, a Crimson football immortal, is also a good outfielder. Like Ward, Watkins is-a power hitter. Last year he was hampered by a shoulder injury which kept him out of action much of the time. Fran Worden, a dependable pitcher, was one of the mainstays of the Crimson mound staff this year. Fran can be counted on for the tough games. “Skippy” Levow, the New Bedford shortstop, is one of the better fielders in Bristol County. Robbing the opponents of basehits is one of his favorite pastimes. “Skippy” also can come through with a hit when one is needed. 93 First Row, left to right: Bob Murphy, Richard (Brooklyn) Carreiro, Ronny (Bird) Barboza, Jimmy Gorman, Ray Lima, Wolfgang Koenig.

THE SOCCER TEAM For the first time since the middle 1930’s, New Bedford High School was represented in this area by a soccer team. While this year’s team did not exactly live up to the standards of those set so many years ago, it did all right when one considers its opponents and the general inexperience of the players. Its record of 1 win, | tie, and 5 losses does not seem too impressive until one gets down to the details of the story. The first game was lost to Tabor Academy of Marion by the score of 2 to 0. However, the Crimson showed promise of much better things as they gained experience. The second game, which was against Diman Voke of Fall River, was also lost, this time by a score of 3 to 1. This was not surprising, when one considers that Diman has been fielding a team of experienced players for years. Another game with Tabor was tied 1 to 1 in the best showing of the season to that date. New Bedford Voke, which has claimed the State Championship for two consecutive years, lowered the Crimson hopes by the score of 3 to 0. Then at last came the only win of the season. New Bedford came out over Duxbury High by the narrow squeak of 1 to 0. In another game with Diman Voke the score was also 3 to 1 in favor of Fall, River. Then came the final game of the season, which was another one with New Bedford Voke. However, Voke’s experience and depth again proved too much for the undermanned Crimson who went down fighting to the tune of 4 to 1. Hopes for the next year are high, since only three players are in the gradua- ting class. The experience gained by the other boys will probably prove invalu- able to them next year, when they will, in all probability, come in with a much better season. 94 First Row, left to right: Walter Aspden, Arthur Seigal, Mr. Bonner, Daniel Morrison, Robert Shapiro. Second Row: Alan Novick, Richard Gleckman, Mr. Bergstrom, Joseph Harrington, Adrian TENNIS Tennis reached a high peak at N. B. H. S. this year. ‘The boys’ team was undefeated during the first half of our senior year, beating Durfee, Tabor, Country Day of Providence, and LaSalle Academy. The girls’ team, undefeated since its formation three years ago, is under the guiding hands of Mr. Bonner and Mr. Bergstrom. Mr. Roland Auger also has given much valuable instruction to both teams.

In basketball, the record for the season was two wins and six losses. Because of injuries sustained in playing, the varsity squad was limited to seven practically all season. With the second team winning five out of eight games, and with many of this year’s players still available for next year, the prospects for the 1951-'52 season should be brighter. Badminton, shuffle-board, and volley-ball were enjoyed during winter months. A group of thirty-four swam at the Y. W. C. A. after school each week, under Miss McFadden’s supervision. In the spring, tennis and softball brought many girls out to Buttonwood. With all these activities, the girls of N. B. H. S. have a chance to develop their physical, as well as mental abilities.

Ah yes — the month we set forth on the first quarter of our four year voyage! We were assigned to our cabins and were given the layout of our ship. On the first leg of our voyage, after we landlubbers had become experi- enced crew members, we elected our Skipper — Gloria Phipps, First Mate — John Halloran, Yeoman — Joyce Palmer, and Purser — Jane Cooper. Our Engine Room Crew included Polly Ann Cotter, Ronald Fryer, George Jacobs, and Janice McIntosh. On our first stop we were honored at the Freshman Party, one of our numerous social events. The committee worked hard and the crew became better acquainted. Many gala affairs, such as the R. O. T. C., GAMS’, Officers’, and Cotton Balls, enlivened our voyage. We sailed into port in June for a two-month vacation and signed up for the next quarter of our voyage. 1948 - 49 We heaved up anchor in September and were once again on our merry way. For the second time we elected our officers: Skipper — Norman Araujo Yeoman — Kathleen Riding First Mate — Earl Smith Purser — Jane Cooper Engine Room Crew — Norman Araujo, Betsey Berg, Eleanor Champion, Paul Forand, George Jacobs, Theresa Martel, Janice McIntosh, Sandra Perry, Robert Shapiro. The top deck men who obtained high honors for their hard work in the previous year were as follows: � Janice McIntosh, Betsey Berg, Janet Sherberg, George Broadbent, Herman Hunt. Among our football aspirants were Robert Chapman, Robert Watkins, Norman Nickerson, Ivan Sylvia, and William Etchells. Although they had few opportunities to show their skill that year, they were to be our mainstays in the coming years. Also, Eleanor Champion was chosen to be a cheerleader. Many. of our shipmates joined the ranks of the R. O. T. C., GAMS, the Girls’ and Boys’ Choirs, Band, and Orchestra, providing many off-watch pleasures. Among our most talented musicians were two accomplished pianists, Philip Oliver and Norman Araujo. Philip accompanied the choral groups in their presentations and Norman performed for many auditorium periods. Once again it was time to return to port for our vacation and upon our arrival we signed up for our next year’s cabins and duties. 1949 - 50 Once again we boarded ship. Yes, we were on the second half of our voyage. It almost seemed impossible that time could pass by so quickly. By now, we were old hands at getting squared away and it wasn’t long before we set sail. It was election time again and the crew chose officers: Skipper — Janice McIntosh Yeoman — Rona Shuster First Mate — Marjorie Greaves Purser — Jane Cooper Engine Room Crew — Betsey Berg, Eleanor Champion, Paul Forand, Ronald Fryer, Beverley Gerstein, George Jacobs, Janice McIntosh, Alan Novick, Sandra Perry, Gil- bert Portnoy, Janet Sherberg. 100 The number of our top deck men had increased this year and the new members included Jean Cleary, Barbara Horvitz, George Jacobs, Agnes Sylvia, Lloyd Lapham, Dorothy Sorensen, Dolores Correia, and Elinor Arruda. This was our greatest year in sports. In football, we nearly went over the top but because of one little point, we lost the game to Watertown — and the championship. However, we did beat all of the other rivals and that was a great satisfaction. The most outstanding player on the team was our own Bob Watkins, who was really something for New Bedford High to be proud of. Bob won national honors for his great work. ‘The rest of the team was something to remember, also. ‘The participants from our class were Ivan Sylvia, Bill Etchells, David Jones, Bob Watkins, Larry Cudish, Fred Ward, and Paul Markey. This year Annemarie O’Leary joined the cheerleading squad. The main social event this year was, of course, the Junior Prom. Ona cold February night, almost all of us third-year: men filed into the boys’ gym with our escorts. We danced, had refreshments, and, almost before we knew it, it was time to depart. The other annual dances were held and at the Cotton Ball, our own Beverly ‘Texeira was chosen queen for a night. At the convention of the Student Councils from all of Southeastern Massachusetts, George Jacobs from our ship was chosen President. We arrived back at home port in the latter part of June, and once again the crew signed for the last portion of our voyage. 1950 - 51 Up anchor! Set the sails! We were now on the last leg of our cruise. This, to us, was the most important year of all. When we arrived at port last June, the crew had elected this year’s officers as follows: Skipper — George Jacobs Yeoman — Elaine Chartier First Mate — Elizabeth Milliken Purser — Jane Cooper In case you haven’t noticed, Jane had been elected Purser for the entire four years. Congratulations were in order. The officers of the Engine Room Crew for this year were all fourth-year men. Chosen were Gilbert Portnoy, president; Ronald Fryer, vice president; Beverly Gerstein, secretary; and Betsey Berg, treasurer. Other members were Norman Araujo, George Broadbent, Elaine Davis, Eleanor Champion, Paul Forand, Lewis Freitas, Raymond Veiera, and Robert Watkins. The officers of the top deck crew were Norman Araujo, president; Dolores Correia, vice president; Jean Cleary, secretary; Betsey Berg, treasurer. The new members included Beverly Amaral, Henry Barros, Mary Bosteas, Helen Chambers, Carol Davis, Beverly Dayton, Mary Alice Fernandes, Paul Forand, E. Margaret Francis, Celia Freitas, Lewis Freitas, Antoinette Gomes, Jean Gonet, Terrance Goyer, Natalie Ibrahim, Gertrude Lewis, Dolores Lopes, Eleanor Martin, Mary Mello, Elizabeth Milliken, Beverly Mosettig, Alan Novick, Alede Pacheco, Elizabeth Pacheco, Joyce Pimental, June Robert, Edith Rogers, Irene Shubsda, Estelle Shuster, Lucille Silva, Wanda Smietana, Dorothy Soares, Beverly Teixeira, Margaret ‘Travers. After we were all organized, the first thing on the program was to have individual pictures taken for the class book. Even the faculty had their pictures taken! It was a tough struggle, but they finally consented to it. Then came the worries of the log-book. The committees worked hard at getting miscellaneous pictures and write-ups; after many months of labor, their goal was achieved and the book was put together and sent to press. The Steering Committee made all of the collections for the class book, caps and gowns, etc. ‘They also made plans for the Senior Get-Togethers which were held in October and April. At the gatherings we danced, played games, and had refreshments. A good time was had at both parties. 101 The student body elected Gilbert Barboza to represent our school on Good Government Day in the port of Boston. In March, we had a Student Government Day on which the faculty stepped aside and let the selected crew members prepare work and take over the run of the school for a day. Acting as principal was Norman Araujo; assistant principal on the Commercial side, Gilbert Barboza; assistant principal on the Academic side, Ronald Fryer; and Social Counselor, Dolores Correia. In the morning, the auditorium program was conducted by shipmates and an open discussion on various problems of the crew was held. Crew members who headed the off-watch activities for 1950-’51 were Barbara Horvitz, French Club; Alan Novick, Debating Club; Elizabeth Milliken, Girls’ League; Nancy and Adrian Auger, ‘Tennis; Alzira Souza, Pan-American Club; Sally Ann Holmes, Dramatic Club; Lewis Freitas, Editor, and Beverly Gerstein, Photography Editor for Year Book; and Paul Forand, Editor-in-Chief of Crimson Courier. The leaders of the GAMS were Major Jean Cleary, Captain Adjutant Carol Davis, and Captains Patricia ‘Tresham, Sylvia Cassidy, and Shirley Bragdon. The R. O. T. C. leaders were Major Herbert Robinson, Battalion Com- mander; Major Theodore Small; Major Edmund Richer; Captain Adjutant George Brodbent. The Student Court Prosecuting Attorney was David White and Paul Forand was Justice. The featured players in the band were Clinton Taber, Lewis Freitas, and Anthero Nicolau, trumpets; Bob Mello, clarinet; Elaine Chartier and Sandra Perry, French Horns; Gilbert Barboza, trombone; Alan Novick and Arnold Oliveira, tuba; William Appleby and Joan Wunschel, drums. Recommended by teachers for their proficiency in stenography, typing, and use of business machines, Claudette Blecha, Dorothy Valentine, Phyllis Spiliotis, Alice Fernandes, Elaine Chartier, Joan Dziewit, Anita Balestracci, Helen Teixeira, Ellen Lague, Alede Pacheco, Delores Affonso, Delmar Tavares, Elaine Medeiros, and Jane Cooper were chosen secretaries in the Guidance and Placement Office. The soloists or selected members of the choirs were Dorothy Sorensen, Anita Balestracci, Marthra Moquin, Adrian Auger and John Price. Two new clubs introduced in the school that year were the Square Dance Club and Allied Youth. They were not very active, however in their first year. The Senior men of the football squad were David Jones, Bill Etchells, Anthero Nicolau, George Wright, Fred Ward, Ivan Sylvia, Larry Cudish, and Eurico Rodrigues. The last addition to the cheerleaders from our class was Dolores Correia. j We came back to port early in order to prepare for graduation. The month of June was crammed with excitement. First of all, we got our log books, and the corridors of the school were always cluttered with people signing the books. There were rehearsals for graduation exercises, and committees were making decorations for both the prom and the banquet. ‘That same week many of us attended our first Alumni meeting. There we met many friends who had graduated before us. But the biggest event was still to come. On Thursday evening, June 21, we filed into the auditorium to the familiar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” played by the school band. This was both a happy and sad evening for all, for we knew that this may be the last time that we would see some of our three hundred and sixty-nine shipmates. We received our “commissions” and were now on our own to chart a lone voyage to prosperity.
