Those fortunate enough to have had this quiet, unassuming gentleman as instructor have been fortu- nate indeed. Always interested in his pupils as indi- viduals, Mr. Goodwin gave to them a wealth of knowledge of many phases of his subject: journal- wm, writing, and literature. The good wishes of the Class of 1957 go with Mr. Goodwin as he enters into a new way of life; his retirement from active teaching will allow more time for his hobbies: rug-hooking, stamp-collecting, and writing for publication. 7 HARRY S.

A mem- ber of the English Department at New Bedford High since 1936, Miss Burke exemplified all that is fine in her profession: sound preparation of her teaching assignments, a warm regard for the individuality of her pupils, a sympathy for their problems, and completely unselfish devotion to their best interests. Through the years, she gave untiringly of herself in extra- curricular activities; high school dramatics, in particular, interested her, and she contributed time and energy to those who participated in the field. A most impressive verse-speaking choir resulted from her efforts, and brought great credit to the school over a period of years. Students who came under the kindly guidance of this deli- cate, soft-spoken woman knew that before them stood not only a teacher, but a friend as well. 14 CLASS OF 1957 ie a ae ‘Bierponat io oe idaess eo Sihecmu eet Bagi ss st hp e i.

New Bedford Spring of 1957 Dear Friends, You happen to live in America; but you are not different from my friends in Swedish schools. Just as they, you forget homework, cut classes, smoke on forbidden ground, have trouble with that peculiar opposite sex, tell everyone how much you dislike school and Mon- day mornings. Just like my Swedish friends, you are nice, interesting, lively students. The differences between my home land and America are slight, and not disturbing: after half a year, I’ve even learned to stand dirty, brown-and-white saddle shoes and clumsy, thick, white wool socks! Your belief that Sweden still sticks to the Stone Age, and lacks telephones, cars, TV, jazz music, juvenile delinquents, and other marks of advanced civilization becomes tiring sometimes; but my part, as an American Field Service Exchange Student, is to straighten out things like that. You showed me that Americans are not so dollar-minded and unscrupulous in business deal- ings as I had been led to believe, and I in turn taught you that European countries are not as “underdeveloped” as you thought. Not all Swedes are cast in my peculiar mold. I happen to have black hair; a Swedish ambas- sador should be blond. A typical representative probably shouldn’t smoke a pipe, be so fond of the ladies, stay up most of the night on week-ends, and be so fanatic about newspaper work. It just happens that I am that way; another Swede would thank God he wasn’t so! Funny incidents have helped to make my stay with you pleasant: I became an honorary member of the Girls League; an understanding teacher prevented an awkward situation in re- gard to a corridor, an Exchange Student, and a pipe; helpful friends arranged two simul- taneous dates, while another friend, even more helpful, came to the rescue with a third one! Many happy things have brightened my year with you: election as editor-in-chief of the AFS-NEWS, writing for the Standard-Times and the Christian Science Monitor, and interviews by Life magazine, and being chosen vice-president of JA Staff Reporters; but the very hap- piest thing of all was to live with the wonderful Bainbridge family and to be graduated with my new “twin,” Bill Bainbridge, a tall young man with a beard. After I leave you this summer, I should like to hear from you. I do hope I shall come to America at least once more, for my first visit has been such a lot of fun!

Do you know that a fundamental concept in the pattern of our American way of life is “Freedom of the Press?’ Taking liberal advantage of this noble ideal, the Crimson Highlights boldly and freely stated that “So-and-so was seen with such and such’s boyfriend, you know where!” Seriously, our own school newspaper has played a meritable part in presenting an ac- curate picture of the happenings within the hallowed walls of 455 County Street. Topics of diverse interest were capably put forth in the paper by over seventy ambitious students. An essay contest “highlighted” the year’s activities. The Crimson Highlights has followed the pattern set by leading publications. Remember t he election reports, and Mr. Gracia’s editorials? Or perhaps you concentrated more on the gossip, sports, and fashion sections! How ever your literary tastes may vary, we are sure that you'll agree on one thing: The Crimson Highlights did much to promote friendships, give credit where credit was due, and further school spirit during our years at N.

Members of the Honor Society are chosen from the student body on the basis of sound scholarship, distinct quali- ties of leadership, high character, and unstinting service. For membership, students must have attained an average of 90% or better at the end of freshman year, an 88% for two years of work, or 85% for three years, in addition to character recommendations from the faculty. Seniors attaining an 85% average for three and one-half years are considered for mem- bership at that time. Seventy-one new members were inducted at an assembly on November 2. President John Barrows was assisted by Vice-president Judith Burgess, Secretary Louise Gardner, and ‘Treasurer Lillian Gomes in awarding membership cards and library permits to these new members. At the mid-term mark, the Society numbered 139 students, of whom 71 were members of the Class of ’57. Miss Mary E. Carroll is faculty adviser to the society. A get-acquainted party in November, a dance in the spring, and a tutoring clinic for students needing help were three of the projects carried out by the group this year. 74 SENIOR MEMBERS Left to right Front row: Joan Hebert, Marsha Kramer, David Goldberg, Arleen Gendron 2nd row: FKileen Hertz, John Maslanka, Elizabeth Longden, Randolph McGregor, Judith Miller, Mary Ann Marco 3rd row: Natalie Mendes, Mary Jervis, Richard Griffin, Charlotte Loureiro, Daniel Gilmore, Marianne Ladeira 4th row: Charles Mello, Carol Jones, Donald Lepore, Lucille Medeiros, Robert Laflamme, Lynne Green TL if ae Se “ —————— Seated: Sandra Costa, Margaret Bettencourt, Frances Cierpial, Frances Correia, Gail Barton, Justine Durfee, Betty Crock, Edna Francis Standing: Alfred Alves, Robert Barboza, Beverly Corrie, Mary Lou Fonseca, Beverly Filochowski, Shirley Bourbeau, Sandra Boyce, Mathew Frauwirth, Richard Bonin, Alfred Fernandes b “J (3 BS Lefi to right Front row: Wallis-Ann Miller, Edna Mello, Patricia Swain, Patricia Poitras, Maureen O'Neil, Nicole Richter 2nd row: Barbara Ryder, Beverly Zaslona, Annabella Tavares, Mary Beth Vancini, Yvette Pothier, Stella Souza, Jonathan Ziskind 3rd row: Noel Tripp, Nancy Senesac, Joan Rasmussen, Joan Rowand, Bette Ryan, Thomas Paoli 4th row: David Rocha, Judith Robinson SENIOR OFFICIALS Amos Simas, Carl Johnson, Richard Griffin, Carl Ostler, Daniel Dufresne, Robert Bettencourt, Norman Medeiros, Clifton Hathaway TRAFFIC SQUAD LTO fic, CHIC] ee Carl Johnson ASSISLOU Steer ee eee ene William Hayden, Roger Ames CA GUISCT en Bey eee a Melver C.

Finally the foreman rises and declares, “Inasmuch as the said traffic ticket was issued to the said defendant on the charge of loitering in the corridor; and whereas, under cross examination, a witness has fearlessly stated that the defendant was walking quite briskly along the corridor and stopped only briefly to speak to friends, we are obliged to find the defendant innocent of the charge.” The judge, with a beneficient smile, lowers the gavel and says, “Case dismissed.” You walk out of the Study Hall, a man free and unafraid.

Brady Louise Gardner “A downright fabulous club!” was the reaction of Nils Persson to Girls’ League. Perhaps our Swedish A.F.S. student is better-fitted than most boys to describe the organization — wasn’t he made an honorary member this year, in an effort to extend the “hands across the sea’’ policy? Members assumed the customary assignments at the hostess table in the front lobby; this proved practical in more ways than one — what would we have done without the table to park our books on during recess and seventh period? The girls continued to help after school on Fridays at the City Mission, and, in March, gave the little girls there a party, complete with clown, refresh- ments, and marionettes. A Hallowe’en party to acquaint everyone with her fellow-workers for the year, and the Annual Ball in May to raise funds for club projects such as the “adoption” of a family at Christmas kept members of this busy organization “on the jump” all year.

Beserosky, Violett, and Rosenberg of the parent-club as advisers, never rests on its laurels. Raising funds for club projects was accomplished by the sale of pencils im- printed with basketball schedule, taking orders for school sweat shirts, and operating a car wash; during the latter project, more than one key-man found himself slightly damp around the edges! For a while, around Christmas, it was feared that the club was short a few lads — until it was learned that said lads were only buried beneath an avalanche of fir, pine, and other assorted greens which the group was selling as a money-raising project. Some of the helpful undertakings of this busy group include donating to the Christmas fund for families in need, contributing toward the new glass backboard s, helping American Field Service by selling tickets for its Soiree Internationale, sponsoring a film for the library of the Vocational Guidance Department; future plans include awarding a scholarship to a June graduate, and helping to obtain electric scorekeepers for the gymnasium. Key Club has proved an exceptionally fine youth organization. SENIOR SWEAT-SHIRT SALESMEN John Barrows, David Goldberg, David Rocha, George ‘Taber, Gordon Massingham DRAMATIC CLUB President .....

The selection of the play was made by a committee under the guidance of Miss Blaisdell, Miss Margery Stocker, and Mr. Bergstrom; presented on March 22nd, the comedy proved most appealing to the audience. Another accomplishment during the year was the formation of a course in public speaking.

Perhaps we should have arrived at the meeting a bit earlier, for a discussion on the value of membership in the Alpha Debating Society had just been concluded. Summation of the viewpoints expressed by various speakers brought forth two main arguments: Many members had strengthened their ability to express themselves forcefully and with sound reasoning; this year’s new system of weekly discussions on topics of timely interest had furthered interest in world affairs. The Debating Team, made up of members of the Society, met teams from schools in the rest of the area covered by the Narragansett Debating League; dele- gates also attended conventions and conferences throughout Southeastern New England, and took part in radio panel discussions. The Alpha Debating Society, through these accomplishments, has proved itself a vital section in the pattern of school life. 8] CADET OFFICERS Lt: Colonel 42332 eee Thomas Paoli MajOr lace eee eee Charles Mello CAPTAINS Carl Johnson Daniel Dufresne William Desmond Milton Berube LIEUTENANTS Glenn Brum Nelson Viera George Nadeau Victor Fredette Stephen Almeida Donald Lepore Ronald Denham William Piche Robert Milliman Lloyd Wajda Lawrence Moreno Frank Zelinka Raymond Carpenter RIFLE TEAM Richard Paul George Pacheco Richard Roussin John Kurgan Carl Johnson James Skowron Milton Berube Bradford Sylvia ESCO WASEDA NY Francis Ouimet James Martin Lt.

Ist Class John Allen, the four companies making up the battalion have worked enthusiastically through the year. In addition to regular drill and classroom instruction periods, the unit participated in the citywide observances of Veterans’ Day, Memorial Day, and Armed Forces Day. The Annual Military Ball and Prize Squad Competition was held in the State Armory in November, with many distinguished guests, both civilian and military, in attendance. Federal Inspection was held at Buttonwood Park in April, and the Annual Field Day in May. During the year, the Rifle Team matched ability in shoulder-to-shoulder matches with Gloucester High, Rogers High, ‘Tabor Academy, and Providence Country Day School. The team also fired in postal matches arranged by the National Rifle Association, and participated in the Boston University Invitation Matches. In a time when the pattern of every boy’s like is likely to include some time spent in military service, the training received in the R.O.T.C. may prove of great value. 82 CADET OFFICERS Ist row, Capt.

The officers, all of whom were in the unit for the third year, taught to younger members of the group the rudiments of close-order drill, and instructed them in military courtesy. Regular drill periods were two a week; in addition, small details went out to help on community projects, on a purely voluntary basis. Members served at the Bristol County Teachers’ Convention, solicited funds for the Retarded Children’s Drive, ushered at the presentation of The Messiah, collected for the March of Dimes, and participated in the Allied Youth “Command Performance.” Each company formed a prize drill squad, a prize platoon, and a First Aid team, which competed either at the Annual Ball or at Field Day. The entire battalion won praise for its fine appearance in the Veterans’ Day and Memorial Day parades. Regular Army officers assigned from First Corps Area headquarters to inspect the R.O.T.C. unit here also inspected the GAMS battalion. Field Day and a picnic completed the year’s activities, all of which com- bined a program of physical fitness with one of service, thus forming valuable threads in the pattern of school life. 84 STAFF Janet Lacerda, Jule Silva, Ann Pflug, Patricia Quirk COMPANY OFFICERS Seated: Margarida Neves, Eleanor Morrissette; standing, Betsey Bent,’ Barbara Roderique, Linda Robinson, Lorraine Azevedo, Eileen Souza THE OFFICERS Beverly Motta, Nelson Vieira, Alfred Alves, Edna Mello PORTUGUESE PAN-AMERICAN CLUB The purpose of the Portuguese Pan-American Club is to promote friendli- ness between the United States and the Portuguese-speaking people in South America, as well as in Portugal. At club meetings, much information is shared on customs, culture, music, and other phases of the life of our neighbors to the south of us. On April 6, Pan-American Day was observed with a special program at the weekly school assembly. Members and their guests had a most enjoyable evening at a club-sponsored Christmas party, at which the boys presented a nearly professional interpretation of ‘Petticoats of Portugal,” to the delight of all those at the affair. Of the thirty active members last year, fifteen were seniors. The club has been setting a pattern of friendliness toward other nations, which is worthy of great credit.

At the year’s start, these students instruct their classmates in the filling-out of complex inventory forms; each month, they report on the enrollment and employment status of home-room members. In addition to these Counselors, the Guidance Department trains fourteen senior girls enrolled in the Business Education curricula as office secretaries, providing practice in filing, business correspondence, and other phases of office work. These two groups of seniors carry out essential duties’ which benefit the entire school, and are already starting the pattern which should lead to responsible citizenship in the adult world.

The charter was presented and officers installed at a candlelight ceremony at the Harrington School, whose principal, Miss Doris Searell, is one of the sponsors of the F.T.A. project in this area. At the affair, Miss Ruth McFadden, Superintendent of Schools, was the speaker. Members spend at least one afternoon a week observing in elementary school classrooms, assisting the teachers with drills, preparing classroom aids to teaching, and otherwise becoming familiar with the educational system. A design has begun to materialize for these young people; it is for them to complete the pattern.

Sixteen members of A.Y. from New Bedford High attended the convention, at which were students from all over the world. The Buck Hill Falls trip was one of the highlights of the club’s 1956-’57 activities. Allied Youth is dedicated to seeking the truth concerning beverage alcohol, and proving that drinking is not necessary to social enjoyment. ‘Through a pro- gram of parties, guest speakers, and the annual Command Performance, members become better acquainted and work together to give the school a fine organiza- tion. Since life’s pattern is established in youth, it is necessary to formulate good habits in the process of growing up. Membership in A.Y. helps to establish these habits. 90 SOME DELEGATES TO BUCK HILL FALLS Catherine Carney, Mary Ann Marco, Joan Langill, Joan Hebert, Norma Casey, Judith Kaller on _— i AND MORE DELEGATES Lucille George, Barbara Boyle, Alex Johnson, Marie Walker, Preston Rowe, John Barrows at SENIOR BAND MEMBERS Richard Medeiros, Gertrude Boardley, Pauline Bochman, Richard Daniels, Raymond ‘Taber, Martin Miller, Norbert Sa, John Barrows INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC AND MAJORETTES Sixth period on Thursdays this year meant pleasant sounds from the audi- torium, when band members met for rehearsal under the capable baton of Kenneth C. Park. In addition to the customary schedule of parades, football games, and assemblies, the group was represented at the All-State Music Festival in North- hampton from March 27 to 30. Three band members were selected for the All- State Band: John Barrows, Norbert Sa, and Mary Ellen Lassow. Leslie Walmsley, cellist, and Mathew Frauwirth, violinist, were chosen for the All-State Orchestra. From the larger parade band have been picked certain instrumentalists, who now will make up the concert band for the school. The parade band was complemented by nine majorettes, whose well- rehearsed routines provided and added boost to school morale. Since music is part of our life pattern, the students who form our instru- mental music groups are preparing well for enjoyment in the years ahead. 92 ¥ ay oe 7 | MAJORETTES Margaret Walsh, Patricia Kuczewski, Alice Tenczar, Jo-Ann Rothmeyer, Lorrie Leen, Arleen Bishins, Cynthia Kalisz, Joyce Katz, Joyce Fournier 93 SENIOR VOCALISTS Directing: Miss Ratcliffe; at piano: Barbara Bowker; Jst row: Carol Jones, Beverly Motta, Lucille George, Nelson Vieira, James Porter, Joseph Souza, Valerie Cornell, Carol Duarte, Madeline Solfin; 2nd row: Edith Fonseca, Diana Centeio, Marcia Louro, Patricia Travers, Mary Ann Paiva, Geraldine Santos, Juliana Borges, Janice Gaspar, Mary deBarros; 3rd row: Nataline Fontes, Marie Britto, Theresa Joia, Marie Walker, Patricia Senna, Margaret Augustus, Anna Magina, Patricia Poitras; 4th row: Jean Barros, Nicole Richter, Bertha Santos, Bertha Gouveia. VOCAL MUSIC Two performances by vocal groups under the direction of Miss Janet A. Ratcliffe will be long remembered by the students who heard them. ‘The strains of favorite carols at Christmas time and of “It’s a Grand Night for Singing” at the annual concert on April 11 brought pleasure to hundreds and attested to the accomplishment and versatility of the five different groups comprising the Vocal Music department at high school: Junior Choir, Senior Choir, Girls’ Selected Choir, Male Chorus, and Mixed Ensemble. Several seniors were outstanding in the activities of these groups. Barbara Bowker proved to be a fine accompanist. Serving as officers in the Senior Choir were Carol Damon, presi- dent; Juliana Borges, vice-president; Beryl Epstein, treasurer. Selected to sing with the All- State Chorus in Northampton at the Festival in March were Marie Walker, Ronald Perry, and Gregory Centeio. Music is part of our cultural heritage. Those who learn to appreciate what music can add to their lives, such as those in the vocal groups at high school, have already started to enrich the pattern of their daily living. 94 oe “lM DREAMNIG OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS” SENIOR PHILATELISTS Daniel Gilmore, David Goldberg, Stanley Kameron STAMP CLUB TARASTOIADE. - cocennssicecuorgosenvavacies Stanley Kameron TN ACOSUIRG ccostecacoxoteconassendnobod: Marcia Benlifer Vice-president ten tees David Goldberg Adviser Kula Kontanis A stock exchange during trading sessions may often be no more exciting than a Stamp Club meeting!

After playing Barnstable High to 6-6 tie, the Red and White fell at the hands of Coyle High, 13-6. A 12-7 decision against Taunton High was largely the result of fine work by Armand Fernandes, who scored both touchdowns, one on a 32 yard scamper, the other a 78 yard punt return. Crimson lost to Fairhaven 21-0, but went on to whitewash Attleboro 34-0 in the best per- formance of the season. ‘Tommy Eck, Jr. was the big gun for N.B.H.S., with two touchdowns and an average of better than 12 yards per carry. Against Vocational High, the Crimson emerged victor, 14-7, when quarterback Dave Rocha scored from the one yard line with little more than three minutes remaining in the game. 102 Captain John Mello Be Pore GS te “= STARTING LINE-UP Front: Bob Gracia, Carleton Eck, Dick Santos, Dick Ponichtera, Glenn Brum, Dick Mello, Thornton Banks; rear: Joe Sylvia, Dave Rocha, Bob Lee, Armand Fernandes Captain John Mello scored the other TD, when he fell on a blocked punt in the end-zone, near the close of the first half.

Coached by Albert Boucher, the team won all the meets which it entered, except the State Meet; even in this meet, the Red and White performed admirably in finishing sixth out of 63 competing teams. The first meet of the year was a Quadrangular Meet, which the Crimson won by 11 points over Boston English. In the next meet, involving five teams, N.B. again took first place by 20 points over English. Holbrook and Attleboro next fell to N.B. At the State Meet, John Silveira was outstanding, with a third place finish, breaking the old record of 12:20 for the 214 mile by three seconds. This sensa- tional time qualified John for the New England Meet at Colby College, Maine, where he finished fourth in freezing temperature. The pattern of achievement set by the Cross-Country Team of 1956-57 will provide a goal for next year’s team to aim at. 109 | LH ti THE SQUAD Front: John Tryznadel, Joseph Westner, Stephen Burkle, John Silveira, Ronald Rapoza, George Taber, Thomas Cummings, Wilfred Bowler, Richard Monjeau, Warren Doane; 2nd: Jack Wright, Donald Venancio, Robert Lawrence, Ronald LaStaiti, Arnold Fraga, Norbert Sa, Richard Santos, Edward Sylvia, Robert Girard; 3rd: Waldemar Burgo, Algn Curhan, Louis Rocha, Arne Isaksen, Thomas Eck, Frank Rodrigues, Coach Boucher; rear: Gordon Massingham, Carleton Eck, Stephen Wordell, Preston Rowe, Lee Baptiste TRACK After completing a successful indoor season, Coach Albert Boucher’s track squad looked forward to the outdoor season which began in April. The indoor season started with a meet in the Fargo Building in Boston. John Silveira was the only point-getter for the Red, with a tie for first place in the half mile against some outstanding collegiate runners. Next on the docket for the Crimson was the B.A.A. Meet in Boston Garden. Silveira and Dick Monjeau led the Crimson in this meet, with a second in the 1000 yard run and a tie for second in the high jump, respectively. Another meet in the Boston Garden was highlighted by Silveira’s gold medal in the 1000 yarder. ‘This State Meet, also saw Mon- jeau tie for second in the high jump. These two combined with Joe Westner and Tom Cummings to place fifth in the relay.

The Crimson trackmen saw Monjeau tie for second in the high jump at the New England Amateur Athletic Union Meet held at Andover. In the National Interscholastics at Madison Square Garden, Monjeau finished seventh, while Silveira took a tenth in their specialties against the best schoolboy athletes in the nation. In the Bowdoin Interscholas- tics, Dick tied for first in the high jump. In the only dual meet of the indoor season, N.B. whipped ‘Tabor Academy 40-23 to avenge last year’s 52-11 defeat. Monjeau led the Crimson to this victory with a second in the 300 yard run and firsts in the high jump and the 40 yard dash. Dick’s winning jump was 6 feet 4 inches and broke the N.B. school record by two inches. | As the classbook went to press, our N.B.H.S. Bristol County Champs were waiting for the outdoor season and a chance to keep the title for the second year in a row; meets were scheduled with Fairhaven, Durfee, Attleboro, Taunton, and Vocational in league competition before the County Meet to determine the champion. Win or lose, our track men can well be proud of their part in the pattern of high school athletics.

In the next game, with Durfee High, the Crimson was beaten, 44-43, in the Fall River Boys’ Club, after holding a fourteen point lead at half-time. The Red and White bounced back from this defeat with a 51-26 victory over Attleboro and a 61-37 win over Coyle High. After suffering its 2nd defeat of the season at the hands of Brockton, 64-57, the N.B. five defeated ‘Taunton 74-44. At this point in the season, the Red was faced with elimination from the Tech ‘Tournament unless it won its remaining six games. N.B.H. scored re- peat wins over Attleboro, 51-26; Coyle 64-37 and Taunton, 50-45 in their next three games. In their second outing with Fairhaven, the Crimson gained revenge for their earlier humiliation with a 43-41 victory over the Blue. Playing his second game since his return to action, Andy Doyle led his team to a 51-50 victory over Vocational with 21 points. Having won the first five of the six “‘must’”’ games, the Red was only one game away from gaining a ‘Tech Tourney berth. Despite John Pacheco’s brilliant 28 point performance, the Crimson lost to a strong Brockton combine, 75-61. This Brockton team was the strongest team that the Crimson faced all year. Although he missed the Tech Tourney, Coach Grabeic can look for- ward to next year when he has five of his top six men returning. These players will be out to better their second-place finish in the Bristol County League, behind Durfee High. All season, the greater the odds the harder our boys fought. This determi- nation whether in school or out, can- not fail to be part of a successful life pattern.

Under the coaching of Miss Hope McFadden, the team captured the Greater New Bedford Championship, and went on to a hard-fought victory for the Narragansett League Championship, defeating Somerset, 56-55, at Case High, Swansea. Marcia Oliveira, team captain, played a remarkable season averaging 28.6 for ten games. | The pattern of co-operation which marked the playing of the girls brought results! 114 First row: Anne Doyle, Beverly Corrie; 2nd row: Lynne Green, Head Cheerleader Rosemary LeBlanc, Pauline Fortier; 7rd row: Joanna Brimley, Rosemary Mello CHEER LEADERS “Let’s go, team!” has been the cry of this year’s cheerleaders, who have done much to add color and enthusiasm to the games. ‘These girls organized and trained the Pep Squad, girls who attended games faithfully and kept spirit high. At the Cheerleaders’ ‘Tournament held in Spencer on March 29, our girls won fourth place and carried home to N.B.H.S. a David Prouty Cheerleaders’ ‘T rophy. Io promote good sportsmanship and encourage attendance at games has been part of the pattern of school life as practiced by these girls.

BASEBALL Strength down the middle is what Head Coach Charles Luchetti looked for at the start of the 1957 season. With a good double-play combination and a good catcher, the Crimson nine was expected to hold its own in Bristol County com- petition. Results of the spring contests were not available because of the early publication date of the classbook. Veteran pitchers Rick Medeiros, Jerry Sylvia, and Ernest Torres were destined to be the big guns on the mound. All-Bristol-County Medeiros was the leading Red and White pitcher a year ago. First baseman Bill Fawcett, also All-Bristol- County, seemed likely to lead the Crimson attack at the plate. Other valuable veterans returni ng were infielders Lionel Bourassa and Bob Gilkey; Outfielders John Charves, Dave Rocha, and Richard Foster; and catcher Bob Couto. Newcomers Joe Sylvia, Felix Swintak, George Gracia, David Holmes, Carleton and Tommy Eck, John Pacheco, and Danny Dalus were counted on to add punch to the lineup. Last year’s record was 9-7, and third spot in the Bristol County League; the 57 team hoped to better this standing, and become a bright spot in the pattern of school athletics in the area. 116 Pre ts Everyone’s happy!
