Z ffm 64,65 0 7948 Many thanks to you for the enthusiasm and friendliness with which you have received me as your new superintendent. I admire your frankness, your readiness to argue for your point of view, and your acceptance of fair decisions. Good sportsmanship has its place in many other life relationships besides athletics. As you go out into life, dare to keep your ideals and your aims high. Keep up your interest in your school so that future students may benefit from an education at least as good as the one you have received. Practice the principles of your religion in your daily life. Make your life a force for good in your community and nation. Dr. Lowe and his secretary, Betty in his office Mr Arthur J. Mott, Principal The pcrmanency of our way of life rests squarely upon the shoulders of our young people, You are the spiritual heirs of all that has gone before. And you should mark well the price that was paid for the characteristics of democracy as they were accomplished one hy one. This liherty we enjoy looks easy lwccause no one has to die to get it. Faith in the common man and equality of opportunity arc wholly American. You who are graduating from high school have a heavy and lasting responsibility to cherish and defend this priceless heritage. mc um? ON? WISDOM U H KNOWLEDGE Miss Marjorie D.

This was quite a term, but then that's life. Classes come and go in ole N. A. but we're sure we'll leave a lasting impression in the minds of the faculty ffavorable, of courselj Many a long hour they asked us to remain after school for our charming company. Now, to get down to brass tacks, we will point out some of the highlights of the brilliant record we leave .... Our freshman year, to be truthful, was mentally exhausting. Every upper class' man, the seniors in particular, would give us a quizical stare which seemed to' say, What strange creature standeth before mine eyes? However, we managed to pull through the crisis with the able assistance of Arthur Ross, as presidentg jean LaRosee, as VicefPresidentg Carol Tennant, secretary, and Gene Nardelli our treasurer. We were youngg we were awkward, and we may have had our playful moments but we were envied. Ours was the first Freshman class in ten years to have a dance. That proves that you can't keep a good man down. Speaking of good men , we had quite a few in the field of sports. Chuck Ciolfi and Arthur Ross represented us on the gridiron. Gene Nardelli, Albert Desilets and Chuck Ciolfi were on the court with Harry Azarian, Ciolfi, Dick Deschenes, Gene Nardelli, Jerry Sherman, and Jack Rioux surrounding the baseball diamond. The girls' basketball team was composed of such notable characters as Mae Allinson Alma Bishop, BettyfLou Johnson, Shirley Brown and Carol Tennant. Mae Allinson also starred in volley ball. Out on the softball field were Terry Courtemanche and Caroline Girard. Our second eventful year found Herbert Chuck Ciolfi at the reinsg Jean LaRosee for a second term as VicefPresidentg jackie DeBlois as Secretary and Gene Nardelli again as Treasurer. page fwenfy-Ave Bw 1948 THE NUIITHEHN LIGHT 1948 We were well represented in sports with Jack Rioux, Harry Azarian, Dick Deschenes, Gerald Parenteau and Jerry Sherman playing baseball, Chuck Ciolfi, Dick Deschenes, Andy Velletri, Jimmie Mott, Dick King, Jack Rioux, Roger Cloutier, Red Langille, Jim Munroe, Bob Sullivan, Ed Macaruso, Jerry Sherman, and Bob Fownes playing varsity and JV football. Jimmie Munroe managed the basketball team with Gene Nardelli and Jerry Sherman on the court. On the girl's activities we had Mae Allinson, Jean LaRosee, and BettyfLou Johnson playing basketball, Marion Boyles and Mae Allinson in the volley ball contests. Lil Leger and Caroline Girard were cheerleaders. Our Junior year arrived. We were now UPPERCLASSMEN!! Chuck Ciolfi was our president, Jean LaRosee, vicefpresidentg Jackie DeBlois, secretary, and Eugene Nardelli as money handler. Cheerleaders were Louise Luchetti, Jean LaRosee, Caroline Girard, and Lil Leger, The boys in the public eye were Chuck the Atom Ciolfi, Dick Deschenes, Junior Mott, Dick King, Red Langille, Clip Cloutier, Andy Velletri, and Jimmie Munroe for football, Harry Azarian, Gene Nardelli, Jack Rioux and Dick Deschenes on the baseball field, and Gene Nardelli, Dick Deschenes, and Jack Rioux playing basketball. The various girl's sports had Shirley Brown and Janet Culhane for volley ball, Mae Allinson, Joan Colburn, and Jean Bragg in basketball. Other activities were French Club, Stags, Red Cap and the most colorful Junior Prom in years. After three long years we finally hit our longfawaited SENIOR year. We were the big wigs in the Wigwam. Chuck FDR Ciolfi, was again the students choice for president, Cynthia Wyche, vice-president, Jackie DeBlois, secretary and Dick Deschenes our worthy treasurer. In the girl's sports were Captain Allinson and Jean Bragg for basketball and the versatile Mae Allinson as captain of volley ball. Cheerleaders were Caroline Girard, Jean LaRosee, Louise Luchetti, and the boss of the crew, Lil Leger. On the football field were Captain Chuck Ciolfi, Red Langille, Dick King, Roger Cloutier, Andy Velletri, Dick Deschenes, and Leo Bonneau. This year's band was a highly praised outfit. Among its members were Dave Beaulieu, Harry Azarian, Bob Fish, Jerry Sherman, Larry Shea, Bob Fownes and Jerry Fish. Harry Azarian, page fwenfy-ALI' raw 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 Andy Velletri, Chuck Ciolfi, Gene Nardelli, Jack Rioux and Dick Deschenes played baseball. Jack Rioux, Dick Deschenes, Gene Nardelli, Red Langille, and Dick King played basketball. This year's Red Cap with Jean Bragg as editor was a big success. The senior play was so good this year that two performances were necessary to accommodate the eager crowds. In the play were Joan Colburn, Janet Culhane, Marion George, Bob Fownes, Jim Mott, Jimmie Munroe, Betty-Lou Johnson, Jeanette Rockett, Jackie DeBlois, Roger Cloutier and George Jacobs. Their performances showed what kind of talent North High will lose. Now Without further adieu, we, the class of '48 wish to thank the entire faculty for helping us ascend an important step in the ladder of life. We hope the classes following will study diligently to achieve the goal that we have attained f GRADUAf TION.

We, the Senior Class of 1948, upon graduating from the North Attleborough High School and knowing that we are of sound health both physically and morally, but sometimes wonder about our mental faculties, do however, take it upon ourselves to leave to those who are remaining in the school, some privileges or bits of knowledge enjoyed by us during our school term. We, therefore, leave to the Junior Class, the privilege of calling themselves Seniors, and, also, to have the authority to snub and ignore the underfclassmen. To the Sophomores we leave the right to initiate the new members of N. A. H. S. and to keep them out of the upperfclassmen's hair. To the Freshmen, we leave our good luck and good wishes, as they are not im' portant enough to expect anything more elaborate.

The seasonal record was far from heing impressive with only one victory over Wzirreii, R. I. and a Off? deadlock with Mansfield High along with seven other defeats. This type of season is often experienced hy smaller schools who invariahly run through cycles of good and had seasons depending greatly on the material availahle. Along with material, experience of the material will produce the sweet fruits of victory. Last year's crop was comparatively green, with exception of a few hoys. This year's crop could mean a fine harvest. Our line of last year, as an effective working unit, was inexperienced and as a consequence inconsistent and spotty in play. They have gained their much needed experience and should provide excellent opportunities for the hackfield in the coming season. Qur hacks are more experienced and have acquired considerahle finesse in their actions and have gained the much needed confidence in an experif enccd line operating in front of them. With experience and determination, with courage and spirit, yet to he broken or even shaken hy the successive defeats of a poor season, the Red Rocketeers are looking to the future with grim determination to avenge its every defeat of the past seasons.

The basketball schedule for 1948 presented a fifteen game season which concluded with an annual entry in the South Shore Tournament. In the inf adequate surroundings of the Brockton Y. M. C. A., the ill fated Rocketeer hoopsters closed a trying year of basketball hardship by dropping a 4207 decision to Hingham High School. A recapitulation would serve only as a reminder of the poor sportsmanf ship of a school and its authoritiesg said school in close proximity to North Attleboro. Perhaps a quick appreciation of the boys who are the colors of the Red and White would be more satisfying in the light of the 5 win f 10 loss record that resulted in forfeiture. Of the eight boys who filled berths in the first club, Red McDuff, the only regular holdfover from the '47 ball club, played his usual valiant game. His scoring kept North in the many contests throughout the season. Bishop, Nardelli, Bates, Rioux, McCretton and Deschenes, all graduates of last year's B team, filled in admirably along with Bernie Doyle, transfer from Franklin High School. At the whistle the club lined up with Jack Rioux, the most imf proved ball player on the club at center, the two red heads, McDuff and Bates, at the guard spots, and Nardelli and Doyle at the forward posts. As a unit the boys worked well what with only a year of playing together. Deschenes, Bishop, and McCretton did a good job as alternates. fag.

The Bomhcrs as they were affectionately called hy the fans earned themselves many plaudits through their competitive spirit and hustle.

Some of the games scheduled are with Norwood, Coyle, Walpole, Pawtucket West, East Providence, Mansfield, Franklin, Moses Brown, and Attleboro. With the exception of the shortstop and right field positions the team is composed of all veterans. At second base and in the lead off position is Pop Desilets, the old reliable of the team. Playing shortstop and in the num' ber two slot is a very promising Freshman, Owen James. Catching and bat' ting third is Allan MacDonald who not only looks good behind the plate but he is also a very capable hitter. Playing left field and in the cleanfup spot is Gerry Parenteau, who when he gets a hold of the ball you may kiss it good' bye. Jack Rioux, who is another slugger and very good first baseman is batf ting fifth. Dick Deschenes, the pitcher and outfielder of the team is bat' ting sixth. In the Hot Corner and batting seventh is Harry Azarian, a boy who isn't afraid of any ball, no matter how fast it comes at him. Batting eighth is Rippy McCretton who alternates with Bob Shaw and Bob LaRock in right field. The pitching staff consists of Lefty Rut Myers, Dick Deschenes, Bob Clark and Walter Main. Bob Ouellette, Donald Childs, and Jim Shaw are used as utility infielders. Mr. Salvati and Mr. Coakley coach the team and with their instructions and supervision the team looks to have a very successful season. Ee N. A. H. 5. .xyfALfic Cup The N. A. H.

An orchestra, excellent in harmony, completed a successful season this year. The State Festival of the year was held at Brockton The orchestra gave a fine performance. The regular occasions of the year at which the orchestra played were: special assembly periods, the Senior Play, Spring Concert, and Graduation. The orchestra will suffer the loss of Barbara Hayes on the piano, Harry Azarian, David Beaulieu, and Lawrence Shea in woodwinds, and Robert Fownes and Robert Fish in brass. We hope that in spite of these losses it will continue to keep its high standard. R432 Aixf? S 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 The band has proved to be superior to our last year's organization. Public appearances have been frequent at home football games, parades, the spring concert and the state music festival. It has performed with precision of step and harmony that has made us proud of it on all these occasions. Mr. john Bronson, who is in charge of the band has, with the cooperation of the boys, main' tained it at its high excellence. Senior members participating in the band are: Robert Fish, baritone horn, Harry Azarian and David Beaulieu, clarinetsg Lawrence Shea, saxaf phoncg Gerald Sherman, bass drum, Robert Fowncs, bugleg and George Jacobs, bells. janet Weygand, Head Drum Majorg Helen Strong, Betty Andrews, Rita Eastman, Pamela Straker. 6 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 The glee club is one of the growing organizations of the school. During our four years we have presented annual Spring Concerts accompanied by the school orchestra, with the auditorium filled to its capacity by an audience which enjoyed its excellent productions. In this, our last year, the glee club was divided into two parts because of the increase in members. Also we were pleased to receive many new male members which added favorably to our fine club. Mr. John Bronson has directed the glee club, and we have enjoyed sing' ing under his direction very much. Senior members of the club who are singing in the club for the last time are: Barbara Thornley, Shirley Brown, Mary Carrozza, Inez Earle, Herbert Ciolfi, Edward Macaruso, Lawrence Shea, Eleanor Vigorito, Marion George, Jeanne Mason, Richard Deschenes, Alma Bishop, Carolyn Ralston, Betty-Lou Johnson, Lois Larson, Joan Colbourn, and Marilyn Slaiger. We know they will be sorely missed when the glee club resumes next year but they are relying on their underclassmates to fill in and do just as good a job, if not better. We trust that future members will have this honor, and thus make the glee club as important to the school as its band and orchestra. page Ahrfy-fwo F5 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 . . le .Spring Gncerf On a rainy evening in May the Glee Club, Band and Orchestra, all under the direction of Mr. john Bronson, gave the Annual Spring Concert. It was well received by the large audience gathered in the auditorium to hear these much talked about musical organizations. The Band rendered six selections, among them a waltz, overture and a comedy number. The highlight of the Orchestra's performance was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony . Barbara Shairer's twinkling fingers thrilled the audience with several selections, including Durand's Valse E Flat Major. Miss Irene Bourgeois, soprano, sang a solo number. The Glee Club finished the program with Ours is the World and other colorful selections. . . . . . . we uglafe .yemfiuaj On May 8th the Band and Orchestra journeyed to Brockton to take part in the Spring Festival.

It was decided to cut down on the amount of gossip and add other items of interest. They have succeeded in doing this. This year's editorials have been exceptionally good because they were concerned with the students themselves. Jean Bragg, editorfinfchief, with her three associate editors and the rest of the staff, deserve much credit for the hard work put into making this paper the best that has ever rolled off the press.

At this meeting an initiation of new members was held and will never be forgotten by anyone. The group has been quite active. Two trips have been made to Providence, once to see a French movie and another to see a French play at Pembroke College. The meetings were held regularly each month at the homes of different members. French songs are sung and games are played usually. This year each member kept a record in French as a reminder of the good times enjoyed at these meetings. The club spent a satisfactory season under the capable direction of Miss Gadoury. This year's officers were: BettyfLou johnson, Presidentg Viola Gananian, Secretaryg and .Ioan Malinowski, Treasurer. Marion George, Catherine Sutherland, Lena Lacasse, and BettyfLou johnson are the members who will not return next year. H190 Aixfif-fue S I8 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 DRAM SPRING FEVER The people of N. A. hraved the snow and turned out in a large number to see the presentation of the great hit, Spring Fever. As the curtain rose displaying a typical college hoardingfhouse, a murmur of expectation swept through the audience. Sring Feveri' hit Brookfield college on the day before commencement. Mrs. Spangler is the overworked landlady of the Brookfield roomingfhouse. In addition to Mrs. Spangler's hoyfroomers, their girl friends keep popping in and out. A few relatives and the faculty also find occasion to call. lt seems that Howard Brant, a senior, failed to pass in a term paper on Zoology. He will graduate if he can get the paper passed in on time. Anne Purcell, Howard's heart throh, has forgotten to reserve rooms at the hotel for her millionaire father and mother. She takes her mother to the dorm and persuades Howard to put her father up in his room. When Mr. Purcell arrives at the hoarding house things happen. Vic Lewis, an art student, who has his dais and easel in the living room, thinks that Mr. Purcell is the erratic model he has engaged to pose for him. Ed Burns, the young chemist whom Lou Herron thinks is a grand fellow, experiments with a suhstitute for dynamite and in this way intimidates Mr. Purcell. Finally discovered Mr. Purcell is released and departs infuriated. He withdraws his offer of a new Science huilding for the college also, page draft,-.11'.r Es 1948 THE NUHTHEHN LIGHT 1948 TIES 'Tm dying! Then to top things off, Howard's Aunt Maude who put him through college arrives. She poses as a famous zoologist in order to get on the good side of Professor Bean who failed Howard. She persuaded him to pass Howard. Anne, aided by her chum, Vivian, Vic's girl, and by Vic put on a death' bed scene to get Mr. Purcell to sign a pledge for a new science building to the college. Even though the deception is discovered, it all turns out fine for everyone. The play was such a great success, that it was put on twice. Miss Erving, the dramatic coach, made possible this great performance, and the Senior Class is very grateful to her. Robert Fownes BettyfLou johnson Arthur Mott, Jr. Jacqueline DcBlois James E.

For fun and relaxation they play foothall, softhall, haskethall and volley hall when the season for the certain sport comes along. Physical education has heen a part of the school's program only for a short time, hut it is advancing rapidly and is enjoyed hy all who have included it in their schedule.

Miss Lobdell has made it possible for the girls' teams, namely basketball, volleyball and softball, to compete with girls' teams of other schools.
