In a sense, we have been training and practicing our different feats for twelve years; and now, having become fairly proficient in our vari- ous acts, we are ready to set out “on the road,” a tour which in the years ahead may take us far from our Winter Quarters on County Street. There has been fun in these twelve years; we've laughed and played and enjoyed the compan- ionship of our fellow-performers. But the laughter and excitement were only a small part: ‘There was hard work, patience, careful organ- ization, and determination. These, perhaps, were the most valuable part of our training under “The Big Top.” We hope that as you look back on your years with “the troupe,” you will find pleasure in your mem- ories.

In December, the annual Youth for an Honest America Week was observed. During the basketball season, Council members sold coke at home games. In addition, the Junior Class representatives selected outstanding Seniors, deserving of the Award of Merit for scholarship, character, and service to N.B.H.S.; the Point System committee checked to see that no student carried too many extra- curricular activities. Class and school elections were supervised by the Council, and the sale of bookcovers continued to be popular. Retiring teachers were remembered by the group with parting gifts. A family was ‘‘adopted” by the Council at Christmas time. All these activities, plus attendance at Council Conventions, made the ’55-’56 year a busy one indeed.

Cle lees One of the most active organizations at N.B.H.S. this year was the Girls’ League, composed of Juniors and Seniors selected from a large group of applicants. ‘These girls devoted their time unselfishly to serve the school and community. Their activities included making tray favors for children at St. Luke’s Hospital, helping at the City Mission one afternoon a week, and providing a hostess in the front lobby each period. At Christmas time the girls filled the many envelopes of Anti-Tuberculosis seals which were mailed to local residents. “They also sponsored the “Adopt a family for Christmas” project, in which the entire school participated. Members gave a party for the children at City Mission on March 14. In January a tea was held, to honor Miss Susan Shennan, who retired this year as Director of Guidance and Placement. The highlight of the year’s activities was the annual Girls’ League Ball on May 4, at which a royal queen and her ladies-in-waiting reigned, attended by Girls’ League members.

Designed to provide service to school and community, Key Club boys served as ushers at Junior Prom, donated to the Needy Family project at Christmas, provided a scholarship for a deserving graduate; and, together with the R.O.T.C., formed the Traffic Squad. ‘They cooperated with Kiwanis in boosting projects undertaken by the adult group. To finance their activities, members sold Christmas wreaths and trees, held informal dances, washed cars, and sold pencils imprinted with the basketball schedules.

Members also had the opportunity to display their talents in short plays presented during club meetings. Highlight of their activities was the production of their annual play on January 27. “Honor Bright” was this year’s choice. This play was especially appealing, since it concerned the antics of teen-agers who take over the reins of the city government on Student Government Day. Among the Seniors who had roles were Roger Allen, the student mayor; Rochelle Chadwick, his girl friend; Denise Kelley, the mayor’s secretary; Pauline Harrop, his mother; Norman Darrer, the owner of the gambling hall; and Charles Robinson, the bashful and only male City Councillor, who supplied comedy bits. — OFFICERS ENJOY “LISBON ANTIQUA” Thelma, Alice, Pat and Bob.

Plaud At the weekly meetings of the French Club, members not only increased their proficiency in the use of the language, but also learned about customs and culture of the people of France. Various committees presented programs dealing with such topics as French art, music, and literature. A club outing to the studios of Channel 2, the educa- tional broadcasting channel in Cambridge, provided an opportunity to meet the producers of the French programs originating there. A group of members flew to New York on a Saturday to see a matinee per- formance of “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” by the Comedie Francaise; these students also visited United Nations headquarters. In April each year, a written examination is sponsored by the French de- partment; the students who win highest ranks in the tests later compete in oral contests, for which prizes are awarded. A.

This year Allied Youth reached an all-time high in membership. Bi-weekly meetings were held, at which local speakers, including Major Jones of the Salva- tion Army and the Reverend John Hogan of St. Lawrence Church, gave in- spiring talks. Fourteen members, with three adults, attended the annual Inter- national A. Y. Conference in Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania, on November 18, 19, and 20. In March an informal St. Patrick’s Day dance was held for members and their guests. The annual talent show, ‘(Command Performance,” was held on April 6. Proceeds from this project and also from the annual cake sale in the spring will help to send delegates to the International Conference next November.

It handled mainly infractions of traffic rules, and did not deal with serious breaches of discipline coming under the authority of school officials. Students given tickets by the Traffic Squad appeared before the Court. After each offender was heard, the judge ‘‘sentenced’”’ or ‘dismissed’ the violator, according to the verdict of the jury. Those placed on probation reported weekly to the Probation officer. Made up of members of the R.O.T.C. and of the Key Club, the Traffic Squad aided in gaining respect from the student body for the rules of the school. Members patrolled the corridors before school and kept order during the three lunch shifts. The Traffic Squad Secretary recorded all reported violations of school rules and the disposition of the cases, as determined by the Student Court. 1955-1956 OFFICERS Traffic Chief — ‘Thomas ‘Tollefson Assistants—Roland Beauparland Linwood Brown Stanley Gembala Floor Supervisors — Gary Cartwright Joseph Fernandes Brian Dextradeur Secretary ................. ene Brodsky Adviser ....

Rear: Ruth Bell, Carol Barth, See Colerain One of the most popular activities at N.B.H.S. was the half-year elective course in Driver Education. Under instructors Arnold Gulbranson and Mitchell Janiak, selected students each week devoted one period to classroom instruction and two to practice on the road. Seniors who applied and were at least sixteen years old, had parental per- mission and were in good physical and mental health were all included in the course. Texts used were ““Man and the Motor Car’ and the handbook of Massachu- setts rules and regulations for drivers. Classroom teaching was enriched by lectures, film strips, movies, speakers from the Police Department, Registry of Motor Vehicles, and insurance com- panies. Weekly tests were given. A final written-test score of 80% enabled the student to take the road test, for which highway inspectors came to the school. Those who passed received certificates, valid between the ages of 16 and 25, which would entitle them to the insurance discount for specially-trained young drivers.

Classroom instruction and drill periods provided basic, general, military information and techniques. Instructors were Captain Donald Oswald, Professor of Military Science and Tactics; Sgt. John Allen, and Sgt. John Duff, reassigned to the unit after having served in Iceland and at Fort Knox since the summer of 1954. In groups or as individuals, cadets participated in Manual of Arms and in automatic rifle competitions; formed mortar and machine gun squads; organized prize drill squads and platoons, a bugle and drum corps, and a rifle team. Activities were highlighted by participation in local civic parades, Federal Inspection, Field Day, and the traditional Military Ball. A new crest for the uniforms was adopted: a red shield, on which appears a silver whaleman with drawn harpoon, and below which is the motto Nos Adulescentes (We the Youth). =a : AT YOUR SERVICE!

Girls Auxiliary Military SS ie For the 175-member battalion of GAMS, 1955-56 was a very busy year. The three companies, instructed by staff and company officers in the fundamentals of military drill and courtesy, formed a unit much in demand for school and community service. R.O.T.C. instructors guided the officers in the military phase of their duties, while the Social Counselor acted as adviser in all other details. Each company had its own prize squad, prize platoon, and First Aid team. Squads drilled at both Junior Highs, in the Allied Youth “Command Perform- ance,’ at Federal Inspection, and at the GAMS Ball; platoons and First Aid teams competed at Field Day. The group joined the R.O.T.C. at Christmas to “adopt” a family, provided ushers for many civic activities, helped the Disabled American Veterans with their Tag Day. Sale of football programs and a highly successful Valentine Ball provided funds for conducting the activities of the organization, which is entirely self- supporting.

Ratcliffe, were made up of the Selected Choir, Senior Choir, Junior Choir, Mixed-Choir, and Male Chorus. In December a program of final choral music was presented at the Christmas assembly. ‘The program consisted of two sections: one featured Hannukah music and dancing in observance of the Jewish holiday; the other consisted of Christmas carols and hymns. Seniors belonging to any of the choirs sang familiar carols through the corridors. Another major project was the annual concert, held April 27. The theme of the production was “Brothers, Sing On.” ‘The choirs told the story in song of a young man who took a trip around the world, visiting such places as Italy, Vienna, and Scotland, where he met a girl, whom he brought back to the United States. The choirs concluded with “Oklahoma!” Seniors who served as officers in the respective choirs were Ruth Bell, presi- dent of Senior Choir, Gayle Eastham, its secretary, Patricia Kaczorowski, its treasurer, and Lucille Hansmann, librarian; Joan Faria served as librarian of Junior Choir, and Roger Allen and Robert Case served as president and treasurer, respectively, of Male Chorus. ae = amt Seets at SOME SENIOR SINGERS...

A combination of inexperienced personnel, lack of depth, and injuries played an important part of the season. In the opener, Coyle turned back the Red and White 20-12 at Sargent Field. Successive defeats on the road were suffered at the hands of North Quincy 26-6, Taunton 6-0, and finally the 7-6 heartbreak at the hands of Fairhaven. Barn- stable stopped the Crimson 27-13, and Vocational ran wild 31-12. On Thanks- giving Day, Durfee won the sixty-first renewal of an ancient rivalry, 39-19. Only eight seniors — Captain John Connor, Murdoch MacDonald, John Reale, John Armanetti, Egbert Christopher, Emil Morad, Dave Bancroft, and Bob Braley — were on the squad of thirty-four. With a large number of veterans forming the nucleus of next year’s team, Crimson gridiron outlook is brighter for 1956, Golf This marked the second year for New Bedford High School Golf League. The coaching of the team was turned over to Stanley Grabiec, after the retirement of Harold ‘‘Pete”’ Willey.

Dick Monjeau, a junior, was a standout for the team during the indoor scason. He tied for first place in the high-jump at the Boston Athletic Association Schoolboy ‘Track Mect, held in the Boston Garden. He was the outstanding performer of one thousand schoolboy athletes at the Indoor State Track Meet at the Garden, setting a new Class B high-jump record of six-feet and one eighth inches. He also won the fifty-yard dash, to become the only dual winner of the meet.

The season opened on the road with a 46-34 triumph over Rogers High of Newport. Three more victories followed: Alumni 80-45, Attleboro 66-51, and Coyle 63-54. Then Brockton handed the Red and White its initial setback, 45-43. After a seesaw battle, the visitors’ Ed Burke caged a jump shot three seconds before the final buzzer, to break the 43-43 tie. The Crimson buried Taunton 70-42 and topped Fairhaven and Vocational by 63-53 and 66-46 scores. Durfee routed N.B. 68-48 in a second-half scoring spree. The score had been tied 31-all at the end of the first half. Bobby Roza and Ken Martin scored twenty points apiece to lead the Red and White to a 79-50 rout of Attleboro. Then Brockton defeated N.B. for the second time this season, 75-63. The Crimson hit the winning trail again with a 74-48 victory over Coyle and a 44-43 squeaker from Taunton. Voke upset our applecart, handing us a 62-45 pasting. Arch-rival Fairhaven fell for the second time 71-49 as Bobby Roza flipped in 24 points, setting the stage for the second Durfee game. No one will ever forget that memorable evening when the Crimson defeated Durfee in Fall River for the first time in twelve long years. The undefeated Hill- toppers fell in a heap before the Red and White as Charlie Correia scored 22 points to lead the victors to the cherished 77-57 win. ‘The victory also clinched a Tech ‘Tourney elimination bid. The Crimson closed their regular season by topping the Blue Wave of Holy Family 54-49. The Crimson ended the season at Brandeis University in a Tech Tourney elimination game, when the Big Red of Everett High handed us a 52-46 defeat. The game was a thriller all the way, with the victors pulling away in the final two minutes.

It is June 1966 and the famed Crimson Circus is again coming to New Bedford. As always, there is a grand procession down Purchase Street; riding in ‘front are the co-managers, John Miguel and Patricia Oliveira. Following close behind is the colorful circus band, led by none other than Allan Lewis. ‘The dashing, lively majorettes, Laurie LeClair, Carole Feldon, Denise Kelly, and Rosalie Macedo, whirl their batons. Next are seen the bouncing, devil-may-care clowns, Janice Silva, Charlie Nunes, Jeanne Taylor, and Manny Lima. The tallest and shortest men in the world, Jimmy Nightingale and Gaylord Lucas, de- light the watching audience. The booming voice of the barker, Hal Dutton, is heard above the cheers and shouts, telling of the wonderful acts to be seen at the grand opening. At last the procession is over and the real work begins. While the able constructors, Richard Motta and Joseph Silveira, survey the erection of the Big Top, many others are running about: people who are vital to the circus, yet are never seen. ‘The circus doctor, Stephen Brown, is aided by his most efficient medical secretary, Barbara McClure, while Irene Centio and Margaret Vosseler, X-ray technicians, are at his beck and call; so are his nurses, Jean Telesmanick and Judith Quintin. Voices can be heard from a small tent; investigation reveals them to be those of the ever-important instructors, June Stefanik, Patri- cia Kaczorowski, and Charles Robinson, teaching the ropes to the young ones. Of course, a circus is never complete without a food tent; under the supervision of the Head Dietitian, Emma Jennings, everything runs smoothly. The performing artists must look glamorous for their various acts and are made so by Priscilla Robinson, beautician, and Judith Gif- ford, costume designer. Handling the business side of things are Thel- ma Roderiques and Robert Freitas, who keep the records straight, while Judy Ganson, treasurer, takes care of finances. The extensive communication system, so essential in such a stu- pendous organization, finds Joyce Bower and Eileen Bromley in charge. Billy Moniz, the mayor of New Bedford, along with Roger Allen and Pauline Harrop, Standard-Times writers, and Judy Manelis, pho- tographer, come to welcome the show and are permitted to watch the rehearsal. First the band consisting of John Barrows, Robert Falcon, Donald Mayer, Frayda Brody, with Muriel Furness at the calliope, to name a few, play a lovely waltz while Pat Batacao, the high wire ballet artist, performs. Next the Crimsonettes, Terry Vertente, Carole Foster, Pat Meunier, and Joan Kelly, come tumbling onto the scene. The jugglers, Bobby Rosa, Charlie Correia, Bob Resendes, Ken Martin, and Ted Jonas, run through their number and are followed by the Preci- sion Drill Act headed by Shirley Wypych and Tony Baldo. Holding the burden of the show on his shoulders would literally describe Bob Braley, the strong man. You have not met all those who make up the circus family, but it takes so many that it would be impossible to name them all. The circus is a success as always; it will move on to new towns and horizons; but let’s hope that we will see these people again, who belong to the Crimson Cir- cus and who work to bring you the Show of Shows, “Under the Big 9 ‘Top. 6é R 99 Vile (N.B.H.S. REVISION) To High we came four years ago; We're sad those years have sped by so! We'll have these moments to remember . . . The way we used to wait in line To buy our lunch at recess time! We'll have these moments to remember. And then there were the studies, And teachers whom we knew — Our friends as well as buddies, And our advisers, too. We yelled our best at every game To cheer our players on to fame! We'll have these moments to remember. The Junior Prom was mighty grand; It was our “Winter Wonderland” ; We'll have these moments to remember. From now till June, there’s much to do, With caps and gowns and classbooks too; We'll have these moments to remember. Now soon will come the Girls League Ball With queen and ladies fair, A buffet-dance, and Senior Prom, To banish every care. Our High School years brought happiness And laid the ground work for success. We'll have these moments to remember. — ee Pee ee UL oe ee ee 10. Li va 1: .4: LD. 16. 19. 20. Some Wade W. (eae The feeling we’d been turned loose in Grand Central Station when we first entered High. The length of the cafeteria lines the first week of school. How we enjoyed the carol-singing in the corridors at Christmas time. Cheers that accompanied the breaking of milk bottles in the cafeteria. How important we felt when elected to our first important office. The confusion and clamor of program-making ‘days. Cramming for the following day’s finals. Decorating and cleaning-up the gym every time we had a formal. How lovely the gym was when it was transformed into the blue “Winter Wonderland” for Junior Prom. Our one-minute allotment for showers after gym class! The all-day Aptitude Test in junior year. The disappointment when we tried out and didn’t make the cheerleader’s squad! Finding that hoops and petticoats took lots of room when we tried to fit three couples into one car! The mob scene in 220 when class rings arrived. Finding we had more friends than we realized when we started to swap class pictures. The disappointment we seniors felt when we were “put on the shelf” in auditorium, instead of in the choice seats in the front rows. The way the boys were transformed to Prince Charmings the night of our Senior Prom when they appeared in their dinner jackets. The thrill of finding Old Study Hall repainted as a background for bigger and better coin-tossing operations. The mad, mad social whirl toward the end of Senior year. How exciting it was to have the distinction of holding Senior Prom at Lincoln Park and the graduation exercises in the Olympia Theatre. a= 4 Lu ra = = Lu [a TO | FOOTBALL GAMES re MOMENTS � 4 ns i | ee Me CHEM CLASS fe oe 3 3 (wipes = et a “t 43 Bey Phy Rep Ot evil ; Win PHS bisa? —. “nN CAFETERIA LINE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER me OUR “FAVORITE SON” jag CANDIDATE REMEMBER TERM PAPERS O a WY — rh Lu = O = CHRISTMAS PARTIES Get on the Wand Wagon cee ee OM “4 - rir ee = And Sign Jit. | . : —_ . ae i : REMEMBER NOT FOR “ie FAME - + ee ee ™ ies nioent hw.
