In the logs of the old whaling ships, we find much of the tang and flavor of old New Bedford. In more recent times the importance of the log has diminished, but to the students of New Bedford High School the words “Crimson Log” will always hold a promiment place in that storeroom we call reminiscence. Although at times it may have seemed to some of us that we were experiencing a spell of bad weather, we will probably look back upon this period as a time of comparatively smooth sailing. In this log, we have tried to compile a record of this voyage, one of the many we are destined to take on the sea of life.

As great a scholar as she was a teacher, Miss Loftus always strove for perfection in her students, and was responsi- ble for more than one scholar’s finding, in the study of languages, a joy and, later, a profession. We of New Bedford High School, both teachers and students, have experienced a great loss in the death of Miss Loftus. Phjy; r. 'P Bro iF Pieg : e Dd bel ters New Bedford High School is fortunate in having a faculty of unusual capacity for understanding and helping the pupils as individuals. ‘Two teachers in particular possess all the good qualities of this group. Both of these teachers present their study material in a most interesting way. Both give of themselves in extracurricular activities; one is a faculty adviser of the SCUTTLEBUTT, the other of the Alpha Debating Society. We of the Class of 1953, in grateful appreciation and a sincere acknowledg- ment of their efforts, do dedicate this edition of the CRIMSON LOG to Mrs. Ethel R. Knight and Mr. Philip Bronspiegel.

Fire! 1m een Ready 4 Proudly we stand! “Ouc a Tah iby eT ‘i Dafa! Left with the remnants of a 1952 team which scored a seasonal total of 6 points in losing all its games, the outlook for Coach Amos Taylor and the New Bedford High School rooters was not particularly bright at the start of the season. However, the one factor which makes the difference between a team on paper and the actual performance — team spirit and hustle — carried the “11” on to a commendable 3-3-1 record and made New Bedford the surprise team of the century. In its first game, the New Bedford team surprised its rooters as well as a strong Melrose team which it defeated by a score of 13-6. Both T.D.’s were scored by Armand Pedroso, who was on the scoring end of heaves by “Shorty” Loureiro and Jimmy MacDonald, both of whom gave good aerial performances. At Barnstable, the team was less fortunate, gaining a 0-0 tie in a game which featured line play. For New Bedford, Brennan, Doyan, and Garrant were particularly outstanding. With the stands well filled for the team’s first home game, New Bedford came out on the short end of 27-6 ball game featuring the passings of Coyle’s Bob Galligan and the running of New Bedford’s Tony Fernandes. For the first half, New Bedford was able to hold off Coyle’s threats and pick up a few yards for itself on the ground. However, the second half was a different story. Exploit- ing New Bedford’s weak pass defense, Coyle’s Galligan chucked the ball all over Sargeant Field and within 5 minutes Coyle had scored 3 quick T.D.’s to which they added a fourth later on. In the last few seconds Fernandes, along with Spiliotis, Brennan, Garrant and Vien, played a good game, scored a beau- tiful 50 yard run to avert a whitewashing. After the fourth game and second league defeat, New Bedford rooters were wondering how much closer the team could have come without scoring. In Taunton’s territory for over 3 4 of the game and doing everything except to pushing the ball across the last stripe, the team finally lost a heartbreaking 6-0 decision. Again the sensational running of Fernandes, who improved with every game, kept New Bedford in the game. The encounter was enlivened by a 4th quarter skirmish which resulted in a Taunton player being put out of the game. Against traditional rival, Fairhaven, New Bedford High came out on the long end of a 6-0 ball game: The victory was achieved only after a thorough scare from Fairhaven in the last few minutes of play. Again it was Fernandes who led the way as he scored on a 39 yard run which resulted from a shovel pass out in the flats from Pedroso who had taken a handoff from Loureiro. With a barrage of points in the last few m inutes, New Bedford defeated New Bedford Vocational. After Brennan scored in the 4th quarter on a pass from Loureiro, New Bedford tallied for two more quickies, one on a buck by Fernandes and the other by Spiliotis, who fell on a Voke fumble in the end zone after everybody but the referee had touched the ball. At Fall River in the annual Turkey day classic, Durfee defeated New Bedford 30-19. For New Bedford, Brennan scored 2 T.D.’s on passes, one from Loureiro and the other from MacDonald, with Fernandes scoring the other T.D. Along the line, Durfee outplayed New Bedford, and to add to the troubles, Durfee intercepted 5 New Bedford passes. Although the record was not the best in the state, it was an improvement over last year. Throughout the season the team showed what hard work and spirit can do with Fernandes providing the spark. Each game, however, was a team affair with its consistent live play of Garrant and Spiliotis along with others par- ticularly outstanding. Se a WBaskethall With Brennan the only starter left from last year, Coach Cronin molded his material into a fine combination which compiled a commendable 13-6-1 record, good enough to warrant a Tech Tourney berth. The only team to defeat New Bedford twice was Weymouth, a tremendous club which later became Class B Champs in the Tech Tourney. The other teams that defeated New Bedford in their first encounter were in turn beaten handily the second time around. Throughout the season the team showed great hustle, with Brennan’s unerring one-hander and “floating” layup, along with Quinn’s hook shot and tap-in, setting the pace. Little Johnny McKenna proved to be worth his weight in gold with his tremendous solo drives, usually ending up with himself on the floor or the ball in the basket, or both. Johnny Foster improved with each game, his one-hand jump shot and layup proving to be of special value in the last few games as he took up the scoring slack. Another player showing improve- ment as the season progressed was Jack Sheerin, who was especially valuable off the boards along with Foster and Quinn, the team’s chief rebounders. This trio gave New Bedford the best rebounding team in the County. Dick LeBlanc, little used at the start of the season, did a splendid job of filling in when needed, as did Ronny Moniz. Known mainly as a seco nd-half ball club, New Bedford came on strong in the third and fourth periods to pull many games from the fire. High scorers for the team were captain Johnny Brennan and Hank Quinn, who consistently turned in fine performances, usually resulting in 20 points or more per game. Following these two for scoring honors were “Fighting John” McKenna and Johnny Foster. All in. all it was a season packed with thrills and excitement, with the famous 77-77 “tie” with Fairhaven, the Salem Tech Tourney game, and thrillers with Coyle, Durfee, and Voke leading in this department. Certainly New Bedford was fortunate in having such a combination of ‘basketball players, who, with their clean living and hard work, made this a season long to be remembered.

Playing what was probably their best game of the year, New Bedford lost in an overtime thriller to a strong Salem quintet by the score of 73-71. Trailing by two or three points most of the way, each New Bedford bid to climb into the driver’s seat fell short. With Salem leading by six and with less than two minutes to go, it looked like curtains for New Bedford; but they came back to tie it up with a last-second layup by Sheerin. In the overtime, however, Salem’s height and shooting accuracy prevailed. DURFEE In a “must” game if New Bedford was to stay in Bristol County League competition, Durfee was defeated by the score of 54-43. In fact, New Bedford actually outplayed Durfee with its own style of possession ball. The game was close, the largest lead up to the fourth period being an eight-point bulge in the first half. In the last quarter, with McKenna and Brennan showing the way, New Bedford built up a large lead as it went on to victory. FAIRHAVEN Showing grim determination, New Bedford met Fairhaven in a return game on the latter's home floor, ending with a very debatable official score of 79-77 in favor of Fairhaven, the game was called a tie by mutual consent of the coaches. The rhubarb caused by this game will live long in the history of sports in this area. With seven seconds to go and Fairhaven leading by a score of 76-74 a technical foul was called on Fairhaven. The foul shot was made by Brennan and LeBlanc scored when the ball was taken in bounds. Fairhaven brought the ball back up the court, missed several shots, and in the ensuing scramble, a foul was called against New Bedford. It is debatable whether or not the foul was called before the time was up, as the buzzer failed to sound. However, two foul shots were taken by Fairhaven, the first one being made and the second one missed. As the ball came down after the second shot, it was knocked around and finally rolled out of bounds, Fairhaven taking it in. A long pass to MacLean and a quick shot from three-quarter court resulted in a basket, but it seems im- possible that it could have gone in in time, as it had been agreed by both coaches and the officials that one second remained when the foul shots were taken. At any rate, the officials considered it to count. Quite a long second, don’t you think?????? Beaschall As the baseball team had not opened its season when this book went to press, there were no scores to report. However, a preview of the tentative open- ing lineup can be given. There will be many familiar faces back from the varsity of last year, such as Foster, Brennan, Cardoza, Garrant, and LeBlanc. For the catching position there is a scramble between Johnny McKenna of basketball fame, Russ Barton, and Danny Loureiro. At first base, Johnny Foster, a natural at any sport he plays, stands out alone. Last year’s keystone combination of Brennan and Cardoza will be back, picking up where they left off, although Jerry LeBlanc is out for Cardoza’s position. At the hot corner Davey Roberts and Frank Baylies will battle it out for starting honors. Among the outfield campaigners, Don Garrant, a long ball hitter; Billy Frates, another slugger; Jack Sheerin; and Jim MacDonald appear to be the leaders. For the all-important pitching staff, Dick LeBlanc, Hank Quinn, Lionel Monte, and Johnny Rapoza are included in the list of those trying for the starting berths. Unless some outstanding candidates are found among those trying for the first time, the team will be composed of the above players. As for the sched- ule, it will closely resemble that of the basketball season, with the addition of Westport and ‘Tabor Academy. That’s all there is to report at this time, so, good luck, boys, and here’s wishing for a successful season.

The girls, led by Jackie Auger, have a strong team, and, if they can find coached competition, should give a good account of themselves. ‘The team should have more incentive this year than in the past as, for the first year, the team will have an official uniform. ‘They will play a rugged schedule featuring such teams as ‘Tabor Academy, Rogers, De LaSalle, and Fairhaven. Candidates for the boys’ team, which consists of ten men, are: Danny Morrison, Ray Normandin, Bruce Lennon, Arthur Siegal, Ray Bolton, Gil Dutra, Steven Schwartz, Bob Kaufman, Dick Ades, Lenny Feinstein. Girls out for tennis include: Jackie Auger, Cathy McNulty, Bev Lachapelle, Marilyn Lachapelle, and Joan Stuck. Under the fine coaching of Mr. Bonner, the tennis team is looking forward to a successful season. WSeeree In the third consecutive season of play since its disbandment two decades ago, the New Bedford High School soccer football team continued to create more interest for its participants and spectators. The 1952 squad claimed a growth in teammanship and popularity in the rejuvenated sport, while being a source of athletic recreation to many soccer newcomers. In posting a record of one victory, four setbacks, and two scoreless ties, the Crimson eleven showed much potential promise and rapid improvement. Coach Benny Wilson, past soccer great, bemoaned the fact, however, that each successive team is “one year away from a championship combine’; the same nemesis dogs next year’s team in that the outstanding performers become ‘alumni in June. The squad battled a polished Tabor Academy team in its initial encounter, drawing the shorter end of a 2-0 count. In two following contests the Red and White again emerged defeated, succumbing to New Bedford Vocational, 2-0, and Diman Vocational of Fall River, 2-1. Center-half Johnny Brennan dented the nets in the latter tussle, slamming in a penalty shot for New Bedford's first goal. Sparked by greater coordination and an inimitable spirit, the Crimson booters were successful in deadlocking their next two opponents, Tabor Academy and Diman Voke, in identical scoreless ties. The highlight of the campaign took place far from the Crimson’s home pitch, as they upset a formidable Brown University Freshman eleven; wingman Bob Murphy provided the margin of victory as he popped in the winning marker. The team created citywide interest as it rang down the curtain for the season in playing host to arch-rival New Bedford Vocational. The boys, many playing their last game under N. B. H. numerals, lost the heartbreaker, a 1-0 squeaker. The soccer faithful were saddened at the passing of the 1952 County Street squad; remembered not for outstanding stars but rather for sheer gameness and will to win, the graduating varsity will be remembered as having displayed a clean and wholesome brand of ball. Senior fullbacks Frates and Amaral were the defensive bulwarks; half- backs Captain Phil Auger, versatile John Brennan and veteran Wolfgang Koenig were instrumental in setting up many goal shots and evading opposing defenders. Forward linesmen Dave Fernandes and Bob Murphy, among others, carried the offensive hopes of the Crimson. Special mention should go to Wolfgang Koenig and Bob Murphy, who -have followed the team since its inception in the fall of 1950. Many plaudits should be directed to the respected and beloved Coach Benny Wilson, who supervised the team’s training and was responsible for the success realized. The boys will long remember the many good times as Ashley Field echoed to their calls; in years to come if high school memories wane, may the members of the 1952 New Bedford High School soccer team recall the close acquaintances, and relive the happy hours of championship and unity.

During the 1951-1952 season, they won.all their games and tied Dighton in the champion- ship game to become co-champions of the Narragansett League. ‘This year, however, their venture was more successful. ‘They not only won all their games, but succeeded in defeating Case High School by a 32-31 margin to gain the Narry League Title. As a team, the girls were undefeatable, due as much to their teamwork as to their individual ability. Their knowledge of co-ordination and unity gave them a “want to win” feeling. At this point, we feel credit should be given to their coach, Miss Hope F. McFadden, who worked constantly to perfect her team. The three “dead-eyed” members of this year’s team are Constance Forand, Florence Forgue, and Ruth Appleby. Connie, the center-forward, was high scorer this year as well as last, and was responsible for the team’s championship. At the three minute mark of the Championship game, New Bedford trailed Case High by eleven points. Realizing that something had to be done, Connie calmly dropped in twelve points to win the game. Florence and Ruth did their share to make the season a successful one. The ability to score when it was most needed is a typical trait of this fine trio. Not to be overlooked by any means are the defensive players at the other end of the court. They are Captain Joan Gonsalves, Sally Kraska, Patricia Peterson and Phyllis Meunier, the latter two alternate places for the starting berth. Their speed and efficiency in guarding that ball prevented their com- petitors from scoring. Sally and Phyllis are a fine jumping duo, while Joan and Pat control the passwork. Six of this year’s starters are Seniors, leaving Miss McFadden with but one starter to form next year’s team; but we are sure she will again emerge victoriously.

The track team is now practicing for their coming season, running off the weight of a soft-life and building their wind and stamina for the approaching track meets. Back from last year’s track team are Roger Bavoux, Walter Butts, Bob Buckley, Richard Cunha, Joe Fields, Dick Stackpole and John Cook. Seniors out for the first time this year include Tony Fernandes, Norman Seigal. New Bedford has meets scheduled with Fairhaven, Durfee, Taunton, Attleboro, Rogers and traditional rival Vocational. Such events as the 100 yard dash, broadjump, 440 yard run, Mile, 880 Yard dash are featured. As ususal under Coach Kelly’s instruction the team will be in fine condition, ready to take its share of the meets. . e. eo LOR oe EP es DOUGL 4S S LOUISE RUTH PFENINGER GALLO REGIS AFPPLEBY DANIEL GILLIS JOAN RAWL INS NORBERT DEMERS JEAN FULLER MOST W NEED OF ORIVER TRAININ = ao ROBERT R IDIN@ LOUISE REGIS Say Ee MAQELINE 7 RAVE RS DANIEL G LLIS RITA DUSSEAULT FONALD MEN DOZA BEST y= PERSONAL T; y( 5 JOAN RAWLINS SY MOST —— é ye 4 rN ReGing VEN JURA GEORGE MONT. ‘ Q RONALD BLAU) 4 9 3 JOA ROBERT MURPHY af SAME S GALLO S7TUQIOUS SOA NV MADELINE COSME TRAVERS NORBERT DANIEL IAM ER GILELS ( a LORRANE LOURO MONA DISTEFA VO | SUDITH TOHEL.

But we will assume that we were all intent on the business of our futures. Our destination — 1953. After having become acquainted with the “ups and downs” and rocking of the ship, we elected our officers to guide us in our activities aboard ship: Robert Murphy, President; Henry Pedersen, vice president; Dorothy Oste, sec- retary; and Frederick Haskell, treasurer. Soon the crew was able to use our assistance in steering. Our representa- tives on the Student Council were: Robert Murphy, Margaret-Mary Gunning, Dennis Sanidas, Neil Gordon, Richard Manelis, Janice Hillman, Eli Nefussy. We sailed into our first port in June, 1950, where we signed up for our next year’s cabins. We were given a two-month vacation on shore so that the crew might ‘recuperate! 1950-1951 This year when we set sail we were joined by transfers from our sister ships —’The USS Normandin and USS Roosevelt. We were very glad to have them aboard, for they soon got acquainted and helped to enliven the voyage! Our officers this year were: John Brennan, president; Ruth Appleby, vice president; Elsie Cabral, secretary; and Anita Lebeau, treasurer; and our Council members were: Patricia Capra, Jean Dumas, Margaret-Mary Gunning, Shirley Hann, Barbara Lovit, Robert Murphy, Dennis Sanidas, and Madeline Travers. Among our sports enthusiasts were Billy Dandrea, Ron Beauvais, and Tony Fernandes on the football squad, and John Brennan and Billy Dandrea on the basketball five. Margaret-Mary Gunning joined our fine line of cheer- leaders. This year we became more interested in our ship’s activities and joined the various organizations for pleasure on our voyage. But soon, again, it was time to prepare to drop anchor and sign up for our third year on the Sea of Knowledge. 1951-1952 Having already become well accustomed to our ship, we reported back in September just as the crew was casting off. Our officers, having been elected last June, took over their duties more proudly this year. John Brennan was chosen president; Rita Dusseault, vice president; Patricia Peterson, secretary; and Ruth Appleby, treasurer. The Student Council gained Virginia Brayton, Jacqueline Denault, Shirley Driscoll, Daniel Gillis, Margaret-Mary Gunning, Marjorie Peters, Richard Ponte, Carol Ramsdell, and Madeline Travers as members this year. Robert Murphy was chosen president of the council. Our steering committee was composed of Martin Shapiro, John La- chapelle, Florence Camara, Shirley Hann, Elaine Emerson, Susan Petit, Barbara Phipps, Beverly Bollea, Dorothy Oste, and Jean Dumas. Our sports aspirants increased; and even though they were unsuccess- ful, the fans stuck by our defeated football team. Georgette Torres joined our cheerleaders. Besides the many social events of the year — the Cotton Ball, GAMS Ball, etc.—our own Junior Prom highlighted our year’s activities. Our “Winter Wonderland” was held, true to its name, on a snowy January night in 1952. It was a gala affair, enjoyed by all. We arrived back at port in June, quite excited and full of sea air. We faced that great question, “To be or not to be — Seniors.” Those preparing to continue the voyage signed up once again and set off to enjoy the freedom on land for the summer. 1952-1953 With anxious, eager spirits we hove anchor this year; with our eyes ever on the horizon, we set forth to map our futures. Our officers elected were: Daniel Gillis, president; Ruth Appleby, vice president; Roberta York, secretary; and Theresa Ottavianelli, treasurer. Our steering committee included Virginia Furtado, Janice Marland, Sylvia Barros, Carol Spinney, Sandra Luckraft, Aldina Rodriques, Frances Machon, Mona Distefano, Sheila Xavier, Barbara Lawton, John Couris, and Sandra Glaser. We began to astonish the crew with fantastically high marks and ab- solutely no studying! Our Student Council included twelve members from our class. They were: Virginia Brayton, Jacqueline Denault, Margaret-Mary Gunning (secretary), Jacqueline Auger, Madeline Travers, Carol Ramsdell, Robert Murphy, Daniel Gillis, Marjorie Peters (vice president), Tony Fernandes, Wolfgang Koenig, Joan Rawlins, Dennis Sanidas (president), Frank Bures, and Henry Pedersen. The latter two were honorary members, being head of the traffic squad, and student court judge, respectively. This year began a whirl of activities which was the height of our voyage: our pictures—and payments; our Senior-Get-Together —and payments; the annual social events — and payments; our classbook — and payments! Our football team was defeated in its Turkey-Day game with Durfee, although its season’s record was fairly good. Our basketball team was success- ful in its year and was invited to attend the Tech Tourney in Boston Gardens; we were defeated by two points, however, in an overtime period of the quarter- finals. Our girl’s basketball team won the Narragansett League Championship by topping Case High, 32-31. The skies were blue in the last months of our trip and we sailed smoothly through forty-weekers and college exams with nary a shipwreck along the way. We set to work to prepare for our final anchorage. This was to be the grand climax of our journey. At the dances and other events held in our honor we glowed with pride and happiness. To the strains of “Pomp and Circumstances” we received our “discharge papers” from Skipper, Joseph A. McDonnell. Although we were sad to leave our ship, the USS New Bedford, we would like to say to all future passengers, “Bon Voyage!” Respectfully submitted, Roberta York, Ship’s Scribe feat Will ride YE ent We, the members of the graduating class of 1953, being of unsound mind, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT; wherefore we make the following bequests: Daniel Gillis — My desk in 128.

(Ap IZ rophec Y Having weathered high seas and squalls tempered with some smooth sailing, the good ship “New Bedford High” is weighing anchor once again at the port Commencement. The valuable supercargo, our class of ’53, has been set ashore and each crew member is preparing to set out alone. To what far shores will the future beckon some of our classmates? Let’s invoke the mysterious power that aids all class prophets and see, across oceans of space and time, what some of us may be doing ‘““I'wenty Years After Grad- uation.” The first graduate we visit in 1973 is our distinguished class president, Daniel John Gillis. We learn from “Who’s Who” that Mr. Gillis is in Italy so we zoom over to that country in a transatlantic liner propelled by atomic power — the joint invention of Paul Gauvin and Alan Wolstenholme. We find Danny in a library in the heart of Rome. He tells us that he is about to assume his duties as ambassador to the Vatican, a position to which he was appointed by the President of the United States, Raynor Taylor. Last year, Danny reveals, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his translation of Virgil’s ‘“Aeneid” into Russian. Danny tells us of several other classmates abroad, with whom he has kept in touch. Hilary Kelley is prima ballerina in the “Swan Lake” ballet in Paris while Donald Fryer, a guest of Tilman Falk, the famous journalist in Berlin, is choreographing a new dramatic production. Ingely Hansmann, world traveler and lecturer, is now in Australia, having recently completed her eighth jaunt around the globe. Danny recently chatted with Dolores Surprenant, who en- tered a convent. He asks us if we have seen anything in the. newspaper about Jean Blanchette, who swam the English Channel last week. Danny invites us to a concert (Dutch treat) at Naples, where Paul Trafton is conducting the Philharmonic which is touring Europe at this time. In the orchestra we recognize the familiar faces of Norman Seigal, Raymond Camillo and Alipio King. Next we visit France where we meet Richard Manelis, Martin Shapiro, and David Amaral basking in the sun on the Riviera. All three are eminently successful. Dicky has become president of Brink’s Inc., while Marty has made millions in the junk-dealing business. Dave is a five-star general taking time out, he informs us, to write his memoirs. Dave says he saw Judith Mohel recently in Algiers, where she is a leader in youth and social work. We speak of Norma Pacheco, who owns a rubber plantation in Brazil, and of Ronald Mendoza, who controls Pan-American Airlines. Aldina Roderiques, we learn, has joined the Texas Rangers while Nancy McLaughlin, Mona Distefano, Shirley Costa and Lorraine Louro are models in New York. Marty, who has lost none of his garrulity, tells us that the group is expect- ing Eli Nefussy any minute. Eli has also done well, selling refrigerators to Eskimos. In Europe also are Douglas Pfeninger and Antone Gioiosa who are run- ning a Good-Humor wagon. Tony provides the goodies and Doug supplies the good humor. While walking through a handsome park in Paris, we see Leo Giroux feeding the pigeons. Leo has just returned from the Orient and is now gathering funds to start a chain of Chinese laundries. In New York we find that many of our classmates have made their mark in the entertainment world. Regina Ventura is singing “Madame Butterfly” at the Metropolitan Opera House while Elaine Emerson and Theresa Mesquita, piano artists, are appearing at Carnegie Hall. Georgette Torres and Shirley Cyr are dancing with the Rockettes, while Raymond Normandin is a popular nightclub singer. Ralph Moyer has re- cently returned from a world tour with his all-girl orchestra and choir. Vivacious members of the internationally known choir are Beverly Lachapelle, Margaret Fournier, Joyce Parker, Carole Presner, Betty Dawson, Dorothy Oste, Dorothy Keyes, Vilroy Doucet, Janice Marland, Nancy Maloni, and Frances Jennings. At Radio City we see several of our classmates’ names in lights. Virginia Brayton is co-starring with Carol Ramsdell in a four dimension film — a process discovered by Alan Duffie. Carol and Jacqueline Denault have won Oscars for their fine acting in an aviation movie, written and directed by Rita Dusseault. We are sorry that we are unable to see Henry Pedersen, “Pundit of the Pun” on T.V. He was forced to leave hurriedly after a particularly bad joke and is now being replaced by Demo Karelakas, who is just as “able” (and just as liable to be run out of town.) At Sach’s Fifth Avenue we see Susan Petit who married an oil magnate. Sue is on the 1973 list of the ten best-dressed women in the world, along with Cecile Scheck, Beverly-Ann Bollea, and Emmy-Jo Kittila. Phyllis Zais and Randall Enos are staging an art exhibit in New York, and Roberta York is head cook at the Waldorf. Next we visit Washington where we see that many of our classmates have attained high diplomatic positions. Diplomacy was always a special talent of our class. Remember how good we were at making excuses? Wolfgang Koenig, a master at the art, is now Secretary of State. We hardly recognize old Wolf with his blond mustache. He is a model of sartorial excellence as are Frank Bures, Secretary of Defense, and Walter Sidd, Secretary of Agriculture. All three men are wealthy in their own right as they own large shares of General Motors stock (it’s a Republican administration). John Ban- darra is a U.S. delegate to the U.N., while Robert Sterns and Armand Pedroso are Massachusetts senators. Richard Ponte is the Speaker of the House. Dennis Sanidas has grown a beard and is now Supreme Court Justice, while Theresa Ottavianelli’s name is on all U.S. bills. Norbert Demers, chief of the F.B.I., is credited with apprehending many a criminal. Many of our illustrious 1953 Seniors, in 1973 have made great contribu- tions to science. Walter Helgeland has invented a plane that flies by voice impulse, while Antone Medeiros has discovered the chemical process with which he is directing the melting of the ice-caps in Antartica. Edward ‘Twarog is running and piloting a regular jet rocket service to the moon. Anita Rose-Lima is stewardess for the flights. Although Jean Oliveira is now organizing tours to the moon, there are few families living there. We know a few of these moon-struck pioneers — Paul Marois and the former Eileen Armstrong, former Diana Tripp and Jean Dumas with their husbands. Florence Camara and Antonia Dzioba are organizing a GAMS unit on the moon. In charge of moon development and resource research is the renowned chemical engineering expert, Robert Murphy. George Tolley is taking a vacation from his engineering professorship at M.I.T. and with George Mont is planning the first trip to Mars. In the year 1973 we see Ruth Appleby and Robert Buckley training for the Olympics. Marilyn Horton has become the first woman to play on a Major League baseball team, while Jacqueline Auger and Daniel Morrison have won the tennis doubles championship. John Foster is basketball coach at Harvard; Hank Quinn and Dick LeBlanc are playing for the Red Sox. Bravo for the unbeaten team of Constance Forand, Patricia Peterson and Sally Kraska, who along with Joan Gonsalves have joined the championship girls’ team. Finally we visit the city of New Bedford where we expect to find most of our former classmates. At the rocket port we are met by James Gallo, genial mayor of the city accompanied by Daniel Machado, his secretary. We tour the city seeing old friends on every side. Ronald Nichols has become Chief of Police and Joan Cosme, head librarian. Barbara Enos, Lorraine Fortin, Helen Nader, and Ida Alves are private secretaries and Louis Rusitsky is news photog- rapher for the Standard Times. Margaret-Mary Gunning, Shirley Driscoll and Carol Spinney have risen high in the nursing profession and are now happily married At William and Purchase Streets we see Captain Edward Leite leading the Salvation Army Band. Among his musicians are David Leite, Dolores Torres, William Smith and Barbara Staron. Out side New Bedford High School which we are visiting again, we find George Botseas directing traffic. There is John Brennan, principal, anxiously watching his charges as they dodge cars across the street. In 1973 Billy Dandrea has taken Mr. Kelly’s place and David Baylies, Mr. Cronin’s. Florence Forgue is director of physical education for girls and Jean Fuller is assistant principal. Joan Rawlins, who recently published a textbook on math and physics, is teach- ing math at high school, while Jean Bernier is French teacher and Lucilla Monteiro, teacher of Portuguese. Mary Kougias teaches her favorite subject — U.S. History, Alice Coelho is typing teacher; Elaine Joseph, bookkeeping; Elaine Hotte, Latin; and Philip Auger is head of the English department. There are many other famous and successful people in this year of 1973 who graduated with us twenty years ago. No matter how small or large the job, whether he be a janitor or a scientist, every member of the Class of ’53, we found in 1973 is working just as hard and as well as he is able.......... Now that we’re back in 1953 let’s all try to live up to this prophecy — and be a credit to New Bedford High School!
