The phone rang in Room 128 .. . “Good morning, Miss Brady speaking.” “Hello, Miss Brady.” The chairman of one of the city’s big associations was speaking. “I wondered if you could help us out?) We're now trying to instill in every American boy or girl the idea of equality, goodwill, and brotherhood. ‘To do this we’re sending a boy or girl from high school to Boston and will represent your school as being the most symbolic of goodwill and brotherhood. Could you devise some method to choose that person? Could you help us out?” 68 “Certainly, I'd be glad to be of assistance. Ill refer the matter to the Student Council immediately.” The next Tuesday at the student council meeting a committee was selected and then organized to look into the matter. Then things were done... This is an example of one of the many projects undertaken by the Student Council. Selling coke at the basketball games, preparing for Student Government Day, supplying the school with book covers, sponsoring Youth for an Honest America, offering a $100 scholarship to a deserving Senior, and many, many, other services for the school and community were performed. 1954-1955 OFFICERS (A halves David Constantine CU LOLCT Vanes eet BME NG arti tech a aus Gail Perry OS ha gas a7) Kenneth DeRego Preasuyver ..0.2..

The money received from their sales was used for charity. Also, the club has been addressed by a few people who have traveled either in Portugal or Brazil, including Miss Barry, Miss Carroll, and an exconsul of Portugal. On April 15, the members entertained the whole student body with a play, “Pan-American Holiday,” during one of the regular weekly assemblies.

Girls’ Auxiliary Miltary Sie For the Girls’ Auxiliary Military Service, the largest organized group at school, the 1954-1955 school year was an extremely active one. Under the joint guidance of the R.O.T.C. instructors and the Social Counselor, members became proficient in close-order drill, learned military courtesy, and gave countless hours serving school and community. Armistice and Memorial Day parades, Valentine Ball, Federal Inspection, Field Day, Prize Squads Competition, First Aid ‘Teams Contest, Ushering service, Tag Day Collection — all contributed to a busy, busy year.

It is open to boys who desire to learn about weapons, tactics, and military duties. During the year, the “RO” presented its annual Military Drill and Ball with the special feature of prize squad drill competition. The entire battalion also participated in the city’s Veterans’ Day Parade and Memorial Day Parade, as well as in functions carried on by other military organiz ations. Another of the major events was the Federal Inspection held in the Spring, by a military official sent by the Department of the Army. New Bedford’s R.O.T.C. unit has received a “superior” rating for many years now. ‘This rating is given to very few units throughout the country, and must be maintained if the school is to have an R.O.T.C. battalion. At the end of the year all the cadets were treated to a picnic held at Fort Rodman. ‘The regular army teaching staff acted as chefs, and a good time was had by all. Cadet officers were selected from the third year class on a basis of leadership, military bearing, exercise of command, and scholastic standing. Heading the list of cadet officers this year was Major Stanley Gembala. Members of the staff were Captains Thomas ‘Tollefson, Frederick Bielawa and Lieutenant Manuel Mello. Company Commanders included Captains Robert Verville, John Golda, Thaddeus Smietana, and Charles Adams. Executive officers were Lieutenants Daniel Barboza, James Strupczewski, Roland Beauparland, and Linwood Brown.

The: (Bypered Groups This year has been a busy and successful one for all the choral groups. In December they presented a cantata, “Childe Jesus,” for the Christmas assembly. ‘They also combined and adopted a Needy Family. Under the able direction of Boris Goldovsky, conductor of the New England Opera Company, New Bedford choirs harmonized with voices from area schools to present “Carmen” at the annual opera sing in Fall River. With the four seasons as a theme, the choral groups presented their annual concert on April 1. The young singers also participated in Music Week and entertained student bodies at each of the g g ] i junior high schools. The annual party was held in June. Our congratulations to the choral groups and Miss Ratcliffe, their able director, who made our year musical and happy.

In its curtain raiser, the Crimson defeated a strong Barnstable eleven by a score of 18-13. Dave Roberts scored twice and Jerry LeBlanc, who was playing his first football game, also scored. At Father Woodley Field, New Bedford turned back the Coyle “Warriors” by a 26-6 score. Again outstanding was Roberts, who tallied twice for the ‘Yaylormen. The Crimson ripped the game wide open with a twenty point barrage in the second period. The first home game was a joyful one for the Crimson, as it stunned North Quincy, 13-6. Roberts brought the fans to their feet with a fifty-yard run for a touchdown. Diminutive Leroy Tablas displayed fine defense. After winning three straight, the Red and White suffered a defeat at the hands of Taunton High School 20-0. The Herringtowners capitalized on every break and kept N.B. in trouble all afternoon. High School had one golden opportunity late in the third quarter, but a penalty called the play back. Playing on a rain-swept field, the Crimson gained a 6-0 victory over arch-rival Fairhaven. It wasn’t until the fourth stanza when the Red and White scored from the one-yard line. Bob Forcier, Denny Louriero, and Dave Roberts led the way in an outstanding team victory. With a crowd of 2000 watching, the Crimsonites suffered a 20-7 defeat to rival Voke. At the end of the third quarter the score was 7-7 and still anybody’s ball game; but soon the Mackmen came to life as they scored two ““T.D’s” in the last quarter. Forcier played his usual good line game. Riddled with injuries, the Taylor coached gridders could not cope with Rindge Tech. The Green and Gold had a 21 point lead at the half-way mark, and then tallied 8 more points. to defeat the New Bedford team by a score of 29-0. At the annual Turkey Day classic, N.B. ended up on the short end of a 14-6 score in Fall River. Dave Ritchie scored the lone goal for N.B. The Durfee backfield gave the N.B. linemen trouble during the entire contest. 96 Wud. BS wien? ena! Seis. F.B. Dare Roberts R.E. Terry O'Toole Forcier i Q.B.

WBashethall The 1955 basketball season proved very suscessful for this year’s Crimson basketball team. Enjoying a fine sixteen-and-four record, the Red and White were Co-champions of the Bristol County League and went to the Tech Tourney at the Boston Garden. Players who wore the Crimson uniform for the last time are Captain Jerry LeBlanc, Roger Gauvin, Danny Loureiro, Dave Hutchinson, Lenny. Hirst, and Bob Fuller. Against city rival Vocational, New Bedford won the two league games and a third in the elimination for the Tech Tourney which was played at Brandeis University. In the first meeting between these two, the Red and White edged out Voke by two points in a contest which went into an overtime. The second game was won by an eight point margin 61-53. In the game played at Brandeis, again the Grabiec-coached players were victorious by a tally of 53-48. Bob Fuller kept New Bedford alive in this game with his stunning set shots and ended up with twenty-two points for the victors; little wonder he was picked for the All Bristol County team. In league encounters against Durfee, New Bedford was defeated in the first game at the Fall River Boys’ Club 45-43. At the County Street gym it was a different story, with the Red and White defeating the Urbanites by a 40-33 score. In the latter game, Dave Hutchinson, who also made the All Bristol County team, was outstanding offensively and defensively. The New Bedford basketeers were very successful in both games against Fairhaven this season. Danny Loureiro and Bobby Roza provided plenty of good basketball in these contests. In the quarter finals of the Tech Tourney, New Bedford High was eliminated by Attleboro High, who previously had split in Bristol County games during the season. The successful year was due to Mr. Grabiec, Mr. Palmeri, and, of course, the players themselves who showed the spirit and determination that makes championship teams.

Cb Bashethall The New Bedford High School Girls’ Basketball ‘Team finished the 1955 season with a 6-2 record, with two wins over Dartmouth, Westport, and Fairhaven and two losses to New Bedford Vocational, which finished first in the New Bedford half of the Narragansett League. The first team for the Red and White consisted of forwards Marcia Oliveira, Sandra Rocha, Rosemary LeBlanc, Marilyn Newton and Liz Saunders; guards Judy Ganson, Pat Meunier, Betsy Bell, Nancy Berg and Natalie Mendes. This team was made up of Juniors and Sophomores so that next year Miss MacFadden and the team can look forward to a very successful season and possibly the Narragansett League Championship.

ESgeee Deserving special recognition for bringing N.B.H.S. back into the soccer spotlight, by enjoying an undefeated season are the Benny Wilson coached soccer players. The Crimson booters laid claim to the State Championship, ending with a record of 7 wins and | tie. Opening the season with a 2-0 win over N.B. Voke, the Crimson broke a series of losses to the Green for the first time since 1933. Center forward Billy Roberts scored both goals. In following contests the Red Raiders defea ted a strong Brown University team 1-0 and tied Diman Voke 0-0. Next foe for the Crimson was Westport High; the Central Villagers were easily defeated by a score of 5-1. Jerry LeBlanc scored 3 goals for the Wilsonites. Sparked by determination the Red and White downed Portsmouth Priory 2-1 and Diman Voke 2-0. The undefeated Crimson defeated Westport for the second time by a score of 3-2. The curtain rang down on the season by New Bedford High School winning the City Championship by virtue of a 1-0 victory over Voke. “Fighting Roger’ Gauvin scored his first goal of the season and it proved to be the one that brought the championship to New Bedford High School after a lapse of twenty-one years. To receive special congratulations are senior players Gauvin, LeBlanc, Roberts, Helme and Jardin. Coach Benny Wilson merits heartiest congratulations for not only being responsible for their successful season but also for making them a credit to N.B.H.S. on and off the playing field. 106 a ron eg tne at pone 4 a, nme. ie 17) At Last — The Travers Trophy!

Harmony among the many members of our orchestra was due in large part to this hardworking group, which met weekly, and attended to dozens of details necessary for smooth performances of our symphony. This was the group which was constantly seeking funds for one cause or another! Its members served as a social committee; kept at us until our photo- graphs for this program were complete; saw to it we were properly fitted for platform appearance on the season’s closing night. Without the cooperation of this distinguished group of Arrangers, there could never have been such a fine esprit de corps among our orchestra personnel. 114 -Latin Lovers ?

At the request of the Director of N.B.H.S., Mr. Donald Torres, I shall make a report of the proceedings, together with a description of the members in attendance and their present standing in society. (After spending a few hours with these people, I must admit that I have never encountered a more varied group of men and women, nor a more intelligent one!) My eyes fall immediately on a crowd of luscious, curvaceous femmes, milling around a suave-looking gentleman. Staring behind a curly blond mustache, I recognize our own dear Norman Fletcher. Norm drawled out in a newly-acquired French accent the latest news of our famous fellow musicians: Esther Senna is playing piano with David Rose’s Orchestra; Norma Arruda, Miss America of 1958, still attributes her success to her personal beautician, Lorraine Hebert. Dave Goshien is broadcasting Red Sox baseball games and has gained the whole orchestra’s devotion to the team. Now that we can shut him off with a twist of the dial, we don’t want to! How different from Miss Rutter’s class of twenty years ago! Excusing myself, I cross the crowded floor, and walk over to Danny Loureiro. After dancing a few steps to the beautiful music of the “‘Star- dusters,’ one of the Big Name Bands of the day, I pop the question, “Where’s the wife?” With the half-smile of a little boy presenting a not-too-good report card to his folks, Danny admits that he is still a confirmed bachelor, and quickly changes the subject to fellow musicians now in the literary field. Earle Holden’s latest publication, a biography of our own Mr. Felton, entitled “I Knew Him Intimately,” immediately soared to the top of the best-seller list. The blare of the trumpets interrupts our dance, and shouts and cheers ring out, “Here comes the mayor!’’ Who'd ever have believed that our Council President would someday be our Mayor Constantine. In the few minutes I spend with Dave, he lauds all the friends who have come back to New Bedford to teach, to work, and to make their homes: Tony Karalekas, Greek teacher at N.B.H.S.; Lorraine Bollea, who took over Mr. Gulbranson’s job as driving instructor; Joan Whitehead, proprietor of Nellibelle’s Auto Lot; Joan Tarle, a nurse at St. Luke’s, who came home from the Beth Israel Nursing School with R.N. after her name and M.D. after her husband’s. Dave also mentions that he is working side by side with District Attorney Elgin Boyce, who won the recent election by a landslide; with Mrs. Duff’s backing, “You can’t lose!”’ The D.A. is sitting beside the Rev. Dave Hutchinson, just as he did twenty years ago, until certain conductors made them change their seats. Dave is to give the invocation at the banquet which follows this social hour. I walk into the dining room for the banquet with the former Irene Pina, who now has three tall, red-headed sons attending New Bedford High. Upon my mentioning the exquisite decorations, Irene explains that Joanne Dzioba, now one of the finest artists and interior decorators in New York, planned and worked on the effect for several weeks. The feast, catered by Janice Goodwin, is absolutely superb. What an improvement for the frightened girl who was worried about cooking a satisfactory breakfast for her hubby! Several of our graduates have done exceedingly well in business and manufacturing fields: Billy Fontes owns Cherry and Company; Joann Norris is president of an optical company, which bears the motto ““The glasses you must dare to wear.” Fran Herlihy, “The Little Philosopher,” still maintains that the best things in life are free; but Bob Forcier continues to disagree (especially since he’s made his second million). Bob shops at the finest 126 men’s store in the city, A. Bor Co. Aaron’s business has boomed since Buzz Karten, who made a fortune in Texas oil, proved that ‘Pants bought at Bor’s won’t split.’”” Every year, on the anniversary of the orchestra’s Hallowe’en party, Aaron sends Miss Rutter three roses — for sentimental reasons! The former Jean Sneizek and her husband have just returned from piloting an expedition to Mars. ‘They report Peter Groblicki, assisted by Flash Gordon, is making progress in changing the earth’s orbit, so that we may be closer to the sun, and thereby eliminate all winters. Bob Fuller has organized and coached a fine basketball team up there, inevitably called the Martians! Let’s get back down to earth! Leroy ‘Tablas has been up in the clouds for a while, too — the reason: ‘The new elevated shoes that Tabby invented, manufactures, and wears! “Oh, oh, what’s the commotion over there?” “Did Iris Towers and Met} Holland finally find the missing Crimson Highlights money?” “‘Is Susan Tripp still politicking?” “Did Rosalie Peirce fall down the stairs?’ Oh, No! Babs May’s crinoline is falling down, again! The hour grows late, and I take my leave, again commenting on the beauty and intelligence of the ladies, the distinguished appearance and intelligence of the men!
