Sincerely, Don Chabot Muriel Johnson (Co-editors-in-chief) IN MEMDRIAM Or ever the silver cord be loosed . . . , then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. The Class of 1952 dedicates The Northern Light to the living memory of Gloria MacDonald. Gloria ' s congeniality and cheery Hi will always be remembered by her classmates. Never to be forgotten are her contributions to girls ' sports, for Gloria was active in volleyball, softball, and basketball, serving as co-captain of the basketball team in her senior year.

Mott TO THE CLASS OF 1952 Ma you find in a confused and tronl)led world the shining path of the heart’s direction and follow it through all your days. Arthur J. Mott Miss Nola Priestley The Northern Light PRINCIPAL OF THE NORTH ATTLERORO HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Leon A. Regan The evaluation of our civilization will not be made from the speed of our automobiles, the streamlining of our architecture, the mass production of our factories, the piling up of wealth, or the break- ing of the atom. It will be measured by the physical, moral, and spiritual makeup of the men and women in existence at the time of that measurement. The young men and women graduating from North Attleboro High School will be vital keys in that evaluation of our future civilization. May you always live up to everything that is expected of you.

BETWEEN TAKES Gf €rtcv� en The IVarthern Light cMotto -- Out of the harbor into deep waters. Colors ' cMaroon and White CLASS ODE Assembled here together We bid our fond good-byes To our four years at N. A. High With teardrops in our eyes. The lessons that we ' ve learned here Will help us to attain The things we want the most of all Proceeding down life ' s lane. We ' re sure to miss our dear friends As each goes his own way But through the years we ' ll not forget The way they look today. Through future years to come The class of 52 Will do their best to gain success Owing all, North High, to you. And so the time has come for us To say our last farewell. For in the distance we can hear The last sound of the bell. THg IVorthern Light The CLASS WILL of 1952 l t aru rjLou yi junroe an JIZLrlJ. QL To have this Class Will different was our aim, But like all the others, ours seems to sound just the same. This one wills , this one bequeaths , that is the way they all start. We are physically and morally of sound health, but maybe not too smart. So here, dear underclassmen, is where we Seniors from you part. To the Junior Class we leave the few left over privileges they have not already taken. To the Sophomores we give the authority of calling themselves Juniors come next September. To the Freshmen we leave the prestige of being Sophomores, which will proba- bly inflate their egos for sometime. GUS ARNS donates his tin-lizzy to anyone who is fortunate enough to keep it going. MARYANN PARKER wills her auburn locks to that flaming beauty of the sopho- more class, SANDY LANGILLE. PAUL RIOUX leaves his title of Most Popular Boy to that lady killer of the fresh- man class, RAY CHARRON. SANDY COLBOURN bestows her witty remarks and her inexhaustible HI to SYLVIA WITSCHI. To follow in DICK TEMPLE ' S footsteps, as best athlete of 52 is the deserving junior, CLARK GAY, one of next year ' s co-captains, too. GRETCHEN KIEHN leaves, only to further her ability in art, at the RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN. BOB and RAY LABRIE leave to put the very popular BOB and RAY of WHDH out of a job.

It was the big day - September 3, 1948! Teachers, students, and even the janitors were anxious to see just what was ahead of them for that year. We surprised them, for we were the smallest class they had ever seen! We may have been small in size but it did not take us long to expand and join the fun of the many activities offered us during the past four years. THE PERIOD OF EXPLORATION As Freshmen we were given ample time to get acquainted with our class- mates. As a result o! this we chose as our class officers, Robert Gilmore, Presi- dent; Patty Leary, Vice President; Richard Temple, Treasurer; and Margaret Pepper, Secretary. Robert Gilmore, Richard Breed, Ronnie Miramant, George Chretien, and Robert Hall were our favorites on the football field, while Richard Temple, Charles Sullivan, Rocco Armillei, Robert Grosse, and Charles Schmidt repre- sented us on the basketball court. Let us not forget our girls, Gloria and Gladys MacDonald, who contributed greatly to the success of the basketball team. Due to the fact that we were only Freshmen, we did not hold any gala events this year. THE CRITICAL PERIOD As Sophomores we really became a part of N.A.H.S. In the October elections we found that we were to have four new officers to lead us success- fully through our second year. They were: Charles Sullivan, President; Joan Joyce, Vice-President; Paul Rioux, Treasurer; and Ann Capodanno, Secretary. The first activity of the class was a profitable cake sale. We later proved to the upper classmen that we too, could hold a successful dance. This was called the Kerry Kaper in honor of St. Patrick. DEFENSE OF OUR REPUTATION Our sophomore class contributed to the power of the football team when Paul Rioux, Ronnie Miramant, Robert Hall, Richard Temple, Robert Gilmore, Adam DiFilippo, and George Chretien proved themselves to be a great help to the squad. The boys who played on the basketball court were Robert Grosse, Richard Temple, Robert Gilmore, Rocco Armillei, Richard Breed, Howard Rioux, and Paul Rioux. On the baseball diamond we were represented by Richard Breed, Paul Rioux, Howard Rioux, and Charles Sullivan. The sophomore class also proved to have some very attractive girls when Joan Joyce, Sylvia Dolan, and Nancy Chabot were chosen as drum majorettes. Pa e 53 The Northern Light = While we are on the subject of the weaker sex, on the athletic side, were Barbara Roberts, Gloria and Gladys MacDonald, Frances Fisler, Gertrude Rush- low, Louise Azarian, Ann Capodanno, and Patty Leary who supported the basketball team. All in all, this year proved to be a very exciting and profitable year for us. THE MIDDLE AGES Well, we could finally consider ourselves upper classmen. It might have taken us two years but it was loads of fun. Because they proved to be such fine and capable officers, we again elected Charles Sullivan, President; Joan Joyce, Vice-President; Ann Capodanno, Secretary; and Paul Rioux, Treasurer. We all hoped they would do as well as they did the year before, and they did. We must have had a sweet tooth, because we held numerous cake sales which helped build up our bank book. The real big event of the year was our Junior Prom. This was the dance that went down in the books as a fine event. We then held a dance with the senior class, called the Snowflake Swirl! This was the first of its kind, and it proved to be very successful! That takes care of our social affairs, but there are still more activities to come. DEFENSE OF OUR REPUTATION The football team would have had to struggle fruitlessly without the help of the Junior Class. Our football stars were: Adam DiFilippo, Robert Gilmore, Ronnie Miramant, Richard Temple, Robert Hall, John Thorpe, Hamilton Wyche, Russell Irving, Richard Breed, John Hayes, Arlon Nelson, and Frank Balut. Russell Irving, Paul and Howie Rioux, Adam DiFilippo, and Charles Sullivan were on the baseball team. We also had many outstanding players on the basketball squad, such as Paul and Howard Rioux, Richard Temple, Robert Gilmore, Richard Breed, Adam DiFilippo, and Russell Irving. While on the subject of basketball, our Junior girls who stood out on the girls ' basketball team were Louise Azarian, Ann Capodanno, Sandy Colboinrn, Shirley Brown, Frances Fisler, Virginia Kelley, Nancy Kindberg, Patty Leary, Loretta Sarazin, and the Duff Twins . Loretta Sarazin, Jackie LaRosee, Mary McAteer, and Frances Fisler were picked as cheerleaders to cheer our teams on to victory. While Joan Joyce, Sylvia Dolan, and Nancy Chabot continued their splendid job as drum majors. In January we received our class rings. To us they were unbeatable. We also could say that we were the first class to get them so early. Well, as you can see, our Junior year was one that any junior class would be proud to speak of. Now we are all waiting anxiously for our Senior year to begin, knowing that there is lots of fun in store for us. NEW FREEDOM To think, at last! - - - we made the grade. It does seem odd that we are in our final year at N. A. H. S. =ThE Northern Light To preside over us this year we picked as class officers, Charles Sullivan, President; Joan Joyce, Vice-President; Paul Rioux, Treasurer; and Jean Deschenes, Secretary. Co-Editors-In-Chief of the Red Cap were Gordon DiRenzo, and AUce Milot. They really made this year ' s Red Cap a wonderful school paper. DEFENSE OF OUR REPUTATION No longer were we merely the scrubs of the football team. Co-Captained by Richard Temple and Robert Gilmore, it has completed one of its best sea- sons in five years. To back up our co-captains were Ronnie Miramant, Paul Rioux, Adam DiFilippo, Russell Irving, Frank Balut, Donald Stack, Donald Lyle, John Hayes, Don Guthrie, Paul Rizzardini, and Raymond Beaulieu. On the basketball court, ably captained by Paul Rioux, were Richard Temple, Howie Rioux, Adam DiFilippo, Russell Irving, Robert Gilmore, Donald Stack, and John Hayes. Charles Sullivan and Russell Irving were a great help to the baseball team. Playing for the girls basketball team, co-captained by Gloria and Gladys MacDonald, were Barbaro Roberts, Frances Fisler, Sandra Colbourn, Alida Nault, Louise Azarian, Loretta Sarazin, and Ann Capodanno. Two more girls were picked to assist the cheerleaders this year. They were Ann Capodanno and Patty Leary, along with head-cheerleader Frances Fisler, Jackie LaRosee, Mary McAteer, and Loretta Sarazin. As drum majors we had Joan Joyce, Sylvia Dolan, and Nancy Chabot. In November we had our class pictures taken. Need we say more? This year the seniors had full priority at the Pigskin Parties, which turned out to be a complete success. All who attended these dances can vouch for this. Our next big event was the Senior Play, which for the first time had an all girl cast. The girls deserve a big hand for this. But let ' s not forget Miss Erving, who put a great deal of time and effort into this play to make it a success. We later held a Christmas Dance, but that was over shadowed by our biggest dance of the year. The Senior Prom. The decorations were out of this world. To see some of the couples you would think they too were out of this world. After hearing all the comments the following Monday we know all had a grand time. There were also many seniors who took part in such organizations as Press Club, Camera Club, Student Council, Student Monitors, Student Librarians, Radio Club, Audio-Visual Department, Red Cap, and the Yearbook. On March 7, 1952, our cheerleaders entered the Southeastern Massa- chusetts Tournament for Cheerleaders. And might we add, that they walked away with third prize. Nice going, girls! The next few months were taken up with preparations for our graduation. We hope we have given you the highlights of our four wonderful and ex- citing years in North High. The memory of them will follow us through our years to come. We would like to thank our superintendent, Mr. Mott, our principal, Mr. Regan, and the faculty. Also the rest of the classes for putting up with us and our whims through our high school days. 55 The northern Light CLASS GIFTS Oiin oi ce and --ddamitton IdJijcke Classmates, friends, parents, and faculty, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nineteen hundred and fifty-two, and the first month of the new year on the thirteenth day of the month, and the second week of the first month, and the second day of the week.

As any one can see She is wittier than most of us. Just as witty as can be. So for you, my friend and culprit. For you I have a gift — It ' s just this pair of scissors. To cut up all you wish. Because Hambone ' s vocabulary produces such weird sounds which only he can translate, we give him this nicely bound book, just to show him what Mr. Webster did with the words HE made up.

As the football season rolled around, North ' s hard fighting Rocketeers be- gan their practice for the most successful season which they ' ve had in many years. A great deal of this success is due to the excellent coaching of our coaches, Connie Pennsavalle and his assistant, Phil Coakley. The spirit and the will to win always gave the fans a thrill no matter if the team won or lost. The spirit of the team can also be indicated by the closeness of the scores of the various games which were never lost by more than 14 points. On Thanksgiving Day the North boys led all the way, but in the last quarter North lost some of its drive and stamina and Attleboro pulled ahead to win - 13-8. The team will suffer the loss of such outstanding players as Co-Captains Bob Gilmore and Dick Temple, Paul Rioux, Adam DiFilippo, Ronnie Miramant, Frank Balut, John Hayes, Ray Beaulieu, Don Stack, Donald Lyle, Russ Irving, Paul Rizzardini, and Don Guthrie. 72 Left to right 1st row Dick Langille, Kent McMorrow, Douglas Spencer, Clark Gay, Ronald Miramant, Dick Temple, Paul Rioux, Bob Gilmore, Ray Charron, Bob Shaune ssy, Don Guthrie, Adam DiFilippo.

They have shown themselves to be fine sports in and outside the school, whether in physical education period, or on the gridiron or base- ball diamond. I feel that our boys have achieved much in con- scientiously applying themselves in physical activity this past year. I hope that they also feel that they have learned a cleaner, a healthier way of living. Continue to practice some of the habits we have tried to develop in your short stay at North High and be a credit to us, v ho have in every way endeavored to help you. Good luck to you from the world of sports!! C. R.

Playing their first year in the Hockomock League, North had a fairly successful season. North showed some scoring ability during the year and ran up a season high of 75 points against Canton High School. Under the capable leadership of Coach Coakley, the team always showed a brand of ball that would be a credit to any squad. Those that will be graduating in June and played varsity are Captain Paul Rioux, Dick Temple, Adam DiFilippo and Howie Rioux.

A BALL PLAYLli’S ' BALLPLAYEH” Athletic attitude ol North High is getting closer to its true mean- ing. The boys and girls are apparently approaching the real con- text of what athletic attitude involves, - self sacrifice, and a sense of cooperation - evidenced by not alone physical participation, but by equitable thought and manner as well. The ultimate in athletics - as in any and all pursuit in life - is to give of ourself whole-heartedly in service to others. This is what is known to the trade as a ball-player ' s ballplayer. To this end, our every effort should be directed. Phil Coakley Mr. Philip O. Coakley Pa e 75 BASEBALL BASEBALL SCHEDULE FDR 1952 April 21 Foxboro 7 N. A. 6 24 Mansfield 3 N. A. 6 30 Oliver Ames 5 N.

The Rocketeer baseball nine, under the capable direction of Coach Penn- savalle and Capt. Charles Sullivan, got off to a poor start this year, as it was edged out 7-6 by Foxboro in the first game of the season. They found themselves in the second game, however, led by the masterful pitching of Russ Irving, they defeated Mansfield by a 6-3 score. The Rocketeers met Oliver Ames next in a hard fought pitcher ' s duel, but Oliver Ames gained the upper hand and won 5 to 1. The remaining games have not been played, as we go to press, but we ex- pect great things from North Attleboro ' s baseball team.

Miss Elizabeth Mansfield To sum up the girls ' basketball successes of the year 1 would like to state that the average of games won was far above that of last year. The girls had quite a few misfortunes, however, but on the whole showed more skill and team work than opposing teams. The coach thinks the reason for the season ' s losses was due to a defeatest attitude among the players. Things look very promis- ing for next year, however, because there will be good experienced material to work with. By the way, thanks go out to all of you spectators for support- ing your team! f a e 7 7 CHEERLEADERS Left to right — Jeanne Prefontaine, Kendra Poirier, Pat Todaro, Ann Capodanno, Jackie LaRosee, Frances Fisler, Mary McAteer, Loretta Sarazin, and Patty Leary. The cheerleaders really started the year off right this year with their snappy new uniforms. There was never any doubt that the girls would do their best whether the team won or lost. Their pep and enthusiasm were a credit to every game. After their great year, the cheerleaders ended it in the same manner by winning a trophy at the Southeastern Cheerleaders ' Tournament held at Wren- tham. The first trophy ever won by the cheerleaders of North High! This year was the best and most successful that has been had by any cheerleaders in years. Great work, kids! The senior cheerleaders, cheering for the last time, were Frances Fisler - head cheerleader, Mary McAteer, Loretta Sarazin, Jackie LaRosee, Patty Leary, and Ann Capodanno. 8 IT’S ALL IN THE GAME ORCHESTRA First row — Leo Stevens, Cloudette Dorothy, Mr. Bronson, Beverly Barlow, Barbara Elderkin, and Carolyn Yates.

Attleboro High took quite an interest in the Red Cap this year and a few issues were sold there. Seniors leaving the staff are: Gordon DiRenzo and Alice Milot, co-editors-in-chief; Alma Arns, Ann Capodanno, and Frances Fisler, assistant editors; Theresa Carriere, Pat LaPerche, Mary McAteer, Barbara Roberts, John Hayes, and Leo Stevens, reporters; and Sandra Colbourn, Ann Levis, and Alida Nault, collectors. 84 SENIOR PLAY The play Sweet Sally Brown , this year had an all-girl cast. Although the boys were a little skeptical about it they finally admitted that the girls ' play appealed to men and women alike. The play centered around the goings on at Haddon Hall, a select school lor girls run by Miss Ella Dupree, a confessed man-hater: she never allowed a man in- side the precincts of her school. All 12 parts in the play were portrayed excellently and afforded great opportunity for the display of talent. Sally Brown — charming young heroine Ella Dupree Principal at Haddon Hall Anastasia Cooke a teacher at Haddon Hall Brooke Amery from the British Isles Nydia Marble— who is crazy to act Monica Milner of the upper set Dodie Bundy who never gets enough to eat Sylvia Bond —a young heiress Mrs. Camilla Bond Sylvia ' s socially prominent mother Delilah -a colored maid Ivadel Parker — a country girl Mrs. Jimmy Parker (Mayme) who has a score to settle Sara-Lou Munroe Beverly George Mary McAteer Nancy Chabot Ann Levis Sylvia Dolan Gretchen Kiehn Virginia Kelley Sandra Colbourn Shirley Perkoski Catherine Rockelt Loretta Sarazin Hats off to our director! Even though she had to start from scratch and go searching for a new all-girl cast play she did a splendid job. One never realizes all of the work that is put in by the unseen worker, the director, who drills with the cast day after day until the lines are letter perfect. Miss Erving, it seems, had to put up with quite a bit this year and we want her to know that we fully appreciate all that she has done to make the Senior Play of 1951 a huge suc- cess.

The Student Council of 1952 has had a most successful and active year. The officers who were elected in June of 1951 are; Richard Breed, president; Carolyn Yates, vice-president; Joan Childs, secretary; Gordon DiRenzo, treasurer; and Hamilton Wyche, Sergeant-at-Arms. During the course of the year the student council conducted a successful tag day for the purpose of raising money for new band uniforms. The council suggested and made it possible for any student maintaining a B average dur- ing the year to be excused from final exams. It has done much in the way of helping students and faculty by solving mutual problems. The seniors in the student council this year were Richard Breed, president; Donald Chabot; Gordon DiRenzo, treasurer; Hamilton Wyche, Sergeat-at-Arms; Russell Irving and Robert Hall. f a e 86 MONITORS X:) First row left to right — Bob Gilmore, Sara-Lou Munroe, Robin Romero.

As in other years, monitors were needed in the corridors to enforce law and order. This year they did splendidly. Meetings were held about once a month, in order to smooth out any difficulties which might have risen during the month. Along with the seniors there were many underclassmen on the monitor staff. Bob Hall, a senior, was head monitor this year. Other senior members were Virginia Kelley, Sara-Lou Monroe, Robin Romero, Frances Fisler, Paul Rioux, Richard Breed, Richard Precourt, Robert Gilmore, Robert Knowles, and Donald Chabot.
