Rayons de la Vierge . Le culte du Coeur de Marie nous revele que route protection, route bonte, route grace venant de Marie, est accompagnee du plus maternel amour. Ijetoile peut nous guider pendant route la nuir, mais en rayonnanr sur nous elle ne nous aime pas. Marie veut rayonner sur toutes nos tenebres, mais tout rayon venant d'elle est un rayon d'amour en meme temps que de lumiere. Le soleil peut nous eclairer tout le jour, mais pas un seul moment nous ne pouvons dire qulil nous aimeg Marie nous eclaire et veut toujours nous em- braser des feux divins. Pas un moment nous ne pouvons penser qu'elle ne nous aime pas extremement. La source la plus bien- faisante s'epanche, sans aucune sympathie possible, pour ceux qui beneficienr d'elle, Marie, aqueduc, canal, source derivee de Jesus, ne s'epanche jamais sur nous qu'avec la tendresse la plus maternelle. Marie est un miroir qui rellete pour nous tout jesus, et ce miroir ne regoit pas seulement la lumiere. Il recoir en meme temps l'amour, l'amour de jesus, son Fils, et cet amour, elle nous le donne a nous, ses enfants. Un pretre, ami intime de Marie 3 ,,., ,w. fl xlr. ' ,A 24?

We are in the year 1950, the place: School Harborgn the ship: Knowledge Ship ahoy! . . . and the seniors of '54 launch out on their journey across High School Bay, onto the scholastic sea, in quest of intellectual and spiritual treasures. For four happy years with Mary as our guiding Star, and with capable teachers as our helmsmen, we sailed through the rough mathematical seas, up the gulfs of Religion and Literature, and down the streams of shorthand and the natural sciences. Now, as we complete one phase of life and stand on the threshold of another, we look back to recapture the happy memories of our journey through High School. These happy memories are kept sacred in our yearbook of '54 to which we have entrusted more than mere words or pictures, but the living memories of our school days. I am persuaded that each senior will forever cherish this yearbook, and, as he turns its pages, will realize more fully than ever that our Alma Mater was truly a little patch of heaven. Each will recall the serene or sometimes solicitous faces of our teachers who unfailingly remained On duty to help us steer our ship to its destination. Each will summon the carefree and jovial faces of our schoolmates who, by their friendly countenance and valued co-operation, helped also make this the happiest journey of our life. 7 QV: x-. s P . h .f'.!..

Iacques A. Smith Rev. Charles E. Landry 18 Om As we, Seniors, leave our dear Alma Mater, we shall want to keep in mind, among many happy memories, that of our dear Curates - Curates who have been for us through our high school years friends, advisors, spiritual guardians, but, primarily, priests humbly and charitably devoting their lives in the service of God. This is a tribute to you, Fr. Lucier, Fr. Landry, and Fr. Smith - a tribute which you rightly deserve, but which, unfortunately, cannot adequately convey our deep gratitude. There are innumerable things for which we may thank you: Whenever we, Seniors, needed encouragement or moral support, did you not willingly give up your time in our behalf? When we needed advice, did you not counsel us? When we needed assistance, did you not help us? But more important yet, you taught us to better know, love and serve our Heavenly Father. You helped us to be truly His children. For this, dear Curates, we shall remain eternally grateful. There are also many instances for which we may thank you individually. Though you have been here but a short while, Fr. Landry and Fr. Smith, you have already proven to be an inspiration to our parish and to our school. Your interest in us has been felt by everyone. Sincere thanks go to you, Fr. Smith, for having so zealously continued our fine athletic program. If we, N. D. students, have learned good sportsmanship, it is due, to a large extent, to your untiring efforts. Your particular interest in youth, Fr. Landry, has been proven by your never- ceasing work with the scouts. If these youngsters become real citizens and true Christians, you will have played an important part in their betterment. May God bless you for this fine work. And to you, Fr. Lucier, words cannot express the gratitude which lies within our hearts. You have given up countless hours of your time to help us - educationally -- socially - spiritually. If our yearbook is what it is today - a book of which we can be proud - we owe it largely, Father, to your untiring work in this endeavor. Too long would be the enumeration of the thousand and one instances in which you have assisted us, so we shall simply sum it all up in a heartfelt Thank you and may God bless you! You may rest assured, dear Curates, that everything you have done for the Class of '54, together or individually, is highly appreciated. Please believe us when we say that, whether you be far or near, your memory as Christlike Curates and devoted friends, will forever be cherished by us, Seniors of '54 4 'IW - game,-ZZa:.C,2,' az 'I9 '25, pg' -g Rev.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 41953-19547 What a memorable day this is! How exciting to become juniors! We number 28 - 14 boys and 14 girls - on this September 9, 1953. We, under the excellent leadership of Sr. Marie de la Reparation, as home room teacher, voted for the following as our class officers: Bernard Robert, presi- dentg Roland Boisvert, vice-presidentg Joyce Cormier, treasurerg and Claudette Ouellette, secretary. Throughout the year, with the cooperation of the entire class, the following social committee did its small part to make our weekly dances and other social activities great successes: Donald St. Jean, chairmang Roland Boisvert, Pauline Courtemanche, and Claudette Ouellette as assistants. It was in November that Bernard Robert, our very able president, represented the school at the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. Our class takes this op- portunity to again congratulate him for his outstanding accomplishment. Hurrah for the Junior Class athletes! The boys' basketball team boasts of several top stars: Lawrence Sam Lavigueur, Bernard Bang-Bang Robert, Arthur Tutur Rousseau, and Roland Boisvert. 38 l CLASS OFFICERS CSittingJ Bernard Robert, President.

Added to the Class Officers Madeleine Cournoyer and Donald St. Jean were elected to the Prom Committee. The entire class hopes that by our efforts the Prom will serve as a lasting memento of our appreciation and good wishes to our incomparable Senior Class. February 15th, we were the guests of The Cross and Crucible , Chemistry Club of Holy Cross College. With students acting as guides, we were shown through the entire Chemistry Department. Faculty members and Chemistry students gave a series of short addresses on the opportunities for young men and women in Chemistry. A Social Hour with refreshments served in Kimball Hall brought this most inspiring and interesting afternoon to a close. Respice Stellam, voca Mariam ! Behold the Star, invoke Mary ! Indeed a very fitting motto for our class rings. The emblem a star with live rays symbolizes our devotion to the Blessed Virgin, patron saint of our high school. With the close of another lucrative, scholastic year at Notre Dame, we gratefully give thanks to our teachers and curates for their untiring devotion and guidance. 39 l SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row CL. to RJ: Marguerite O'Neil, Jeanne Boudreau, Diane Phoenix, Lucille Gendreau.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTCRY The long anticipated day is here! We are now boisterous sophomores . . . After mounting the steps of N. D. H., we proudly take our places among the upper classmen in the new addition to the school. Our eagerness is somewhat subdued by the thought that our close-knit freshman class is separating into classical and commercial groups. Eleven pupils choose the former and twenty- three the latter. A new classmate, Constance Dufault from Wells High, joins our happy family and scholastic life begins its busy hum. Out successful year commenced under the direction of Sister St. Rollande, home-room teacher, Sister Elisabeth-de-Hongrie, Sister Marie-de-Lourdes, Sister Eusrelle-de-l'Eucharistic and Sister Bernadette-Marie. Already in September we selected able class oflicers. The elected were Diane Phoenix, presidentg Richard Gregoire, vice-presidentg Lorraine Roy, secretary, Barbara L'Heureux, treasurer, and Sylvia Gregoire, chorister. The industrious leaders named on the Social Committee were Richard Patenaude, Lorraine Roy, Jeanne Boudreau, and Lauria Saulnier. The Class as a whole progressed very enjoyably and successfully because its members took an active part in all school activities. Barbara L'Heureux represented our class for the finals of the fourth annual Bishop Wright Declarna- tion Contest held in the Little Theater of the Worcester Auditorium on Novem- ber 22. To commemorate this day Bishop Wright sent the class a picture of His Excellency taken with the contestants. As a token of her success, Barbara was presented a bronze medal. 40 1?

In order to insure a memorable finish to a magnificent beginning, a surprise party was held in het honor on November 24. May the future ever lie bright before this charming young lady! Thanks to the Decoration Committee with Donald Coutu as chairman, Jeanne Freniere and Pauline Picard, his helpful assistants, the Second Year High was gaily decorated for the Christmas Season. Cecile Peloquin's artistic masterpiece on the front blackboard attracted a multitude of admirers. The clever initiative of Constance Lafleche, Barbara L'Heureux, Lorraine Roy, Marguerite O'Neil and Anne Marie Normandin, is re- sponsible for the first blue-and-white shakers used at the N.D.H. games. While the eleven biologists enunciated photosynthesis and experimented on osmosis , the Busy Bees , Swingalongs , Little Greggs' and Shooting Stars made curves and lines. Our commercial star, Lucille Gendreau, was awarded an O.B.E. Pin COrder of Business Efficiencyj by the Business Education World Magazine for submitting an outstanding bookkeeping paper in the November Bookkeeping Contest sponsored by the Business Education World magazine, published in New York. As the days rolled into weeks, the weeks into months, our second year terminated with a delicate gesture from our beloved Bishop - a special blessing to us his good friends and loyal children at Notre Dame - sent with his autographed photo.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTURY September 9, 1955, is a date long to be remembered in our life as our first day in high school. The upper classmen opened the doors to us as we flooded the corridors and classrooms with greenhorns. There we were, fresh indeed from grammar school. As we looked into the Crystal Ball we could see in advance all the wonderful things the future held in store for us. Afraid to tackle the large task ahead? Not us . . . We were young, gay and carefree - the forty-three freshmen of September, '53. After our two months' vacation we were all set to get right down to brass tacksf' Under the capable leadership of Sister St. Rollande and Sister Bernadette-Marie we began our freshman year. It didn't take us long to become accustomed to the high school way of life, since the rest of the student body readily accepted us as part of Notre Dame High. Durirg the lirst three brief days of school, questions such as What will happen next week? What can we expect? What will they do? Will we survive? kept racing through our minds. It wasn't long before the opening day of senior picnic week. Monday had arrived and everybody was having a ine time, but we were always on the receiving end of the deal. Such things as peeling and eating an orange in two minutes, proposing to a girl, shining shoes, carrying books for the seniors and running fantastic errands were all in a day's work that week. However, it all ended with a frolicsome evening at the Hall, starting with a scavenger hunt which we won over 42 CLASS OFFICERS CSittingJ Armand DeGrenier, President. fStandingJ Omer Guay, Vice-Presidentg Therese Martin, Secretary, Pauline Racicot, Librarian, Ronald Trudeau, Treasurer. the juniors and sophomores. Later in the evening came the tricks, Blindfolded we were led over chairs, benches and a tub of water Cto make it a little messierj to the stage, while some loyal members of the school orchestra played that popular and ever appro- priate tune Dragnet, The best part of the evening was yet to come with the eats and who was to get the pea in the cupcake . . . Much to their astonishment, it was Ronald Gaumond and Gloria Proulx who found the peas. Thus were elected the King and Queen of the dance. Eleven o'clock soon rolled around and with it came the climax of a perfect day. We were now full-Hedged members of N.D.H.S. After this hectic week, electing our class officers came next on our busy program. Leading our class in our First Year would be: Armand DeGrenier as president, Omer Guay as vice president, Therese Martin as secretary, Ronald Trudeau as treasurer, and Pauline Racicot as librarian. Declamation time came soon after, and when the five elected boy contestants fthe girls weren't good enough to beat usb appeared before the ladies of the jury Call the nunsj the verdict was: Armand DeGrenier, guilty of eloquent declamation, will represent us at the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. A find choice indeed, for he did us high honors in it. CGood luck in the years to come and a tip of the old hat to you, Armand! J Saturday night is awaited by many a dancer at Notre Dame and quite a few from surrounding schools as well. Our Social Committee took excellent care of things at our monthly dance under the direction of the continental himself, Dick Giguere and his able associates: Lorraine Brunelle, Thomas Forcier and Gloria Proulx. Thus comes the end of a wonderful year. In a way we are sorry to leave all these things that have made our freshman year so enjoyable, but, on the other hand, we are glad to advance because we know that it completes another stepping-stone on the road of life as we find ourselves one stride nearer to the goal which each of us bears in mind and one degree closer to a greater reward in heaven. To the freshman-to-be , we extend our sincerest wishes for a great and exciting year - a year filled with joy and surprises, a true counterpart of the one we've just passed. dV26'fLZr'L-Kg Wu , f 2,7 - ,Q 1Q 2 i.'F' ,:ff25 .Q 5 ,fe 3?3fffiS35 R935 ' M gif? if iff X, ,MW 4 g: - X gii cy,-ajHgy0'i iwwgovfws ff'f'w M Aki JU '1 -g 2 ' j g ' 'WWI Xi w - 'I int, A ig.

Cependant, chaque jour une periode de 45 minutes nous permet de prendre un contact plus direct avec le bon Dieu - c'est le programme de religion qui se cleroule alors. Le but general de chaque legon se ramene it ceci: Apprendre at toujours mieux servir notre Pere du ciel, puisque la vie eternellement heureuse doit commencer a se vivre des ici-bas. A cet effet, notre professeur, dont le devouernent n'a pas connu de baisse, s'est efforcee de nous faire comprendre ce qu'est la vraie vie surnaturelle, cette vie que nous devons chercher at vivre des maintenant, cette vie que nous devons avoir en vue tout d'abord, avant la gloire, 1'argent, le plaisir. Que sert a l'homme cle gagner 1'univers, s'il vient 21 perdre son ame! Si nous sommes fideles aux principes que Souer Marie-de-la-Reparation, a tache de nous inculquer, nous serons des chretiens vraiment vivants qui s'enracinent dans Yeternite, qui se nourissent d'eternite, qu'ont les promesses de vivre une eternite: Dieu en eux, et eux en Dieu. En agissant ainsi, nous realiserons le but cle notre passage sur la terre: grandir pour atteindre le ciel. Soyons grands et grandes! Vivons des ici-bas la vie de Dieu. Et ainsi nous continuerons eternellement. f New wha? 2 ff b okwdrrn. 90 an-6'ihe'7 aid one staffed. one CMH 'Lo i Q5 Neff 'Edna It ,fs hy'-'J Il -.I M 36'H-'ing so n l gear me 32505 But, in Sabi 4 YI C 4 Slu6Ted' NH, nuts Sao s -sg i LANGUAGES Our program of languages is a very interesting one. The languages taught are well chosen for background and practicality. The hrst and most important is English, the current language of our country. The English Department is concerned with teach- ing us to read, write and speak correctly. It does however give us more background while taking us cruising in Literature to various parts of the universe. Next to English, our curriculum boasts of intense teaching of French, the language of our ancestors and one which we should take pride in writing and speaking cor- rectly. A real practical familiarization with the complicated French grammar and its application are two of the Departments' aims. French is such an integral part of the people who speak, read and write it, that we should always bear in mind while study- ing this beautiful but diflicult and harmonious language the famous proverb: Qui garde sa langue garde sa foi . Last but not least is Latin the study of which is optional but can be very bene- Hcial to all students. This language of the ancient Romans and Gauls is called a dead language but its study can contribute immensely to the development of the mind and to a deeper thinking and a more sound reasoning. In the study of these languages, we must always aim higher than the mere learning of the 'language itself, and delve in their history, their comparative qualities and practicality. God, Who gave reason to man must be called upon in the study of those languages, that He may grant us the necessary intelligence to learn them rightly and use them wisely. ?if.74w A Ji, -5 5 A teak system.

Sei ee BIOLOGY With the birth of a classical course in our high school, came that interesting subiect biology, with Sr. St. Elizabeth-de-Hongrie as teacher. The biology students are always captivated with interest and amazed by Sr. Elizabeth's wonderful teaching. The course is divided into two terms the lst of which includes the study of botany in all its magnified details by the use of the microscope. The second term is given to the study of Zoology, physiology, and hygiene. Pupils are always fascinated by the wonderful discoveries the malt ' h L y 'e in t e dissection of various insects and animals. Consequently, not one can refrain from proclaiming: Isn't God Omnipotent? CHEMISTRY In addition to biology and physics, the Science Department offers chemistry under the super- vision of a very capable teacher Sister Elizabeth-de-Hongrie. Like biology, chemistry is designed to prepare students for different professions such as nursing or pharmaceutics as well as for later college training Although this year's chemist cl s . ry as is very numerous its members are truly eager to learn. Perhaps this eagerness has been fostered by h . t e numerous experiments performed in our laboratory, most of which proved to be so satisfactory and thrilling. 75 ,Z alll-IOL ,W Q wall ,gggp 5 7 ,f I.

To understand fully the importance of mathematics, we must try to visualize this subject as a narrow path opening into a wide highway. Algebra I, which discovers the path, blazes the trail to the mature intellect - the goal to be reached through this training in mathematics. With geometry, the subject matter changesg we now begin dealing with triangles, angles, and set rules. This again forces the grey matter to start thinking and reasoning. Algebra II - the path which has now become a road is safe and ready for colonization. After the clearing of the dense forest, then comes the modern highway. Of course, the subject matter now is trigonometry which deals with technical treatment of every- day circumstances necessary to the curriculum of daily living. The intellect of the pupil is wide open, but its full maturity now depends on the willingness of the student to obtain the material necessary for the attainment of his goal. jf E .

It was in our sophomore year that typewriting was first introduced to us and made so appealing through the competent instructions of Sister Marie-de-Lourdes, With a somewhat contagious zest, we immediately ser our minds upon acquiring a thorough mastery of typewriting. This enthusiasm of ours, held high throughout our junior year, is now maintained by our worthy Sr. St. Jean-du-Cenacle who frequently reminds us to keep an eye on the ball, and to watch the game. Some of her best recognized watchers of the game of accuracy plus speed are: Laura Bachand, Therese Fortin and Jeanne Lacasse. We are confident that the valuable training we have received will open many an avenue for us as we face the Big World. :,' CD 0 Q 3,-7,2 U5 ...,, Q C SHORTI-IAND Shorthand was sold to us in our sophomore year by capable Sr. Marie-de-Lourdes, who gave us all that was necessary and more for a solid shorthand foundation. Then, in our senior year, came Sr. Eustelle's clever shortcuts which helped us build up speed. One of the annual attractions of the shorthand class is the participation in the International O. G. A. COrcler of Gregg Artistsl Contest sponsored by the McGraw- Hill Co. of New York. Were we thrilled when on May 14, 1955, it was officially an- nounced that the Notre Dame team submitted by Sr. Marie-de-Lourdes and Sr. Eustelle- de-l'Eucharistie had won Third Place in the Parochial School Division! Now for individual achievements: Every student earned her Junior and Senior Order of Gregg Artists Certificates. A theory Certificate for mastery and application of shorthand principles was earned by each of the following: Laura Bachand, Alice Belanger, Jeannine Blanchet, Therese Fortin, Marguerite Gervais, Jeanne Lacasse, Doris Martel, Constance Langlois and Lucille Martel. Speedsters in our class are: Therese Fortin, and Jacqueline Bergeron. May the ability that we acquired in shorthand under the direction of our two wonderful Sisters prove to be an indispensable asset in our future careers. 26 COMPTOMETRY A new subject: Comptometry. Its aim is to quicken our perceptive faculties and to develop logical reasoning to a fuller degree. We are hoping that comptometry has somewhat accomplished its purpose yet we know that we have not reached the zenith of our reasoning power, for we are still in a daze trying to determine Sr. St. Jean-du- Cenacle's tricky method of correcting by inspection hundreds of answers without a single help other than that of her keen eye and brain. Although that mystery remains unsolved for us, we can say that we have acquired skill. Under the able direction of Sr. St. Jean, in a short while our limbered fingers were accustomed to tapping the keys swiftly as well as accurately. W 0 , BOOKKEEPING AT NOTRE DAME For those who contemplate a career in Accountancy, Notre Dame High School offers a two-year Course in the fundamentals of Double Entry Bookkeeping, accord- ing to the Cash or Accrual Basis, Those desiring positions in Bookkeeping, after having successfully completed the Course above mentioned, secure positions in business offices. But for those who wish to become Accountants, they must continue the Subject in a Business College. In 1942, the Bookkeeping classes of Notre Dame won first prize in the Business Educational World Contest, and in 1953, a third prize. 53 E - MAC A short cu! YO third P el Shoithagd.

Her substantial ex- position of ancient as well as of modern Europe paved the way for a better under- standing of American History in which course, during our Senior Year, we have studied the intricate problems of the present age, and we have been made to appreciate and to prize our freedoms as well as our God-given rights under the Stars and Stripes. It is our intention to live up to the teachings of our devoted Sisters and to strive to make of our land a haven of peace and of brotherhood. rses at Notre Dame High -f-L '5 ...- S 7 g .

BOYS BASKETBALL Though only in its third year of organization, our basketball team- the Notre Damers played the toughest schedule of the three local teams. Though the majority of the games were lost, this year's squad showed a great improvement over last year's. That was due to the experience picked up by the players in the two previous years and also the fine coaching of Greg Decataldi. Let it be remembered that before the framework of a home can be started, a strong founda- tion is necessary as the first step in the building process. Such is the case at Notre Dame. The foundation has been laid, thus making the framework a task within the grasp of our students. With the school constantly growing, the birth of better teams is assured! Wonders cannot be accomplished in little time. As a departing member of sports activities at Notre Dame school, I wish to take this opportunity to remind all athletes and fans to keep up their school-spirit. I personally think that someday we will be able to say that we, members of the basketball and baseball teams of 1954, have laid the foundation for a truly promising sports future. Notre Dame began its third basketball season under the new directorship of Greg Decataldi, who succeeded Clifford Pontbriand as Notre Dame mentor. A total of nineteen candidates reported: Daniel Yvon, Alfred Hevey, Bernard Robert, Law- rence Lavigueur, Roland Boisvert, Arthur Rousseau, Paul Proulx, Richard Williams, and Raymond Desrosiers. Freshmen were: Arthur Lafortune, Ronald Richard, Ronald Gaurnond, Richard Giguere, Thomas Forcier, Donald Charpentier, Francois Seguin, and Richard Ledoux. junior Varsity coach was Donald Charperitier. Losing only two members of last year's team, the future for Notre Dame basketeers looks bright, with a good junior Varsity team expected. Sports Committee: Rev. J. A, Smith, Director. Claudio Proulx, Pres. Normand Lemoine, Sec. Oscar Lazure, Sylvio Ferron, Normand Brodeur. Varsity Manager: Richard Patenaude. Junior Varsity Manager: Richard Ledoux. The Blue and White was sent to a heart-breaking 50-47 defeat in their season's opener at Charlton's match-box gym. With three men six feet or better, the Charltoners commanded both boards but nevertheless needed a last ditch rally to top the hard fighting Notre Damers. Sam Lavigueur, Dan Yvon and Ray Desrosiers all hit for double Egures and the entire team played excellent brand of ball. The J. V.'s were also nipped, 38-37 as Tom Forcier and Sonny Lafortune played tremendously in a losing cause. 60 JUNIOR VARSITY Front row left to right: Paul Forcier, Thomas Forcier, Richard Williams. Standing: Mr. Donald Charpentier, Coach, Richard Ledoux, Manager, Armand DeGrenierg Ronald Richard, Donald Charpentier, Francois Seguin, john Despres, Ronald Gaumond, Rev. J. A. Smith. A highly favored Wells High team was nearly upset as the smaller but hard-fighting Notre Damers were beaten 58-49. Trailing by as much as thirteen points at one time, our boys came roaring back within three points of our arch rival, but saw the taller and more experienced Wells- men, led by Paul Kollios, stage a late rally to finally pull out a hard earned victory. Ray Desrosiers led Notre Dame scorewise but it was the continual ball-hawking of Dan Yvon and the superb rebounding of freshman Sonny Lafortune that inspired a 20 point underdog to play the game of its life. The JV's took a 17-15 victory as Tom Forcier scored 11 points and the fiery competitive spirit of the team as a whole showed bright prospects in this glorious victory. Saint joseph, North Grosvernodale, nipped the Blue and White, 56-51 as the absence of two starters unable to make the game hurt the squad. To add more woe to misery, two more regulars fouled out in the hnal period. Sam Lavigueur played, perhaps, the best game of the Notre Dame players as he was the play-maker of the evening, setting up Dan Yvon and Ray Desrosiers beautifully all night long. Inability to counter on their foul shots proved disastrous to the JV's as they missed twenty in a losing cause, 28-18. Notre Dame encountered Holy Name of Worcester and when the smoke of the battle lifted, Notre Dame emerged with their First double victory in two years, 43-41 and the jV's in a 27-26 triple overtime thriller. With fifty-five seconds remaining and Sonny Lafortune just getting into action, he pumped in a beautiful hook shot to win the game. It was indeed a team victory for coach Decataldi's hands, for playing sensational games were Dan Yvon, Sam Lavigueur and Fred Hevey. The JV's won on Ronald Gaumond's foul shot in the third overtime period, as Paul Forcier con- tinued his improved playing while leading our hopefuls to their brilliant victory. Sacred Heart of Worcester nipped the Blue and White in their second bid for victory, Dan Yvon and Ray Desrosiers, being fed beautifully, scored 19 and 20 points each, while Sam Lavigueur hooped 12 and played a tremendous floor game. The Notre Damers led at the first quarter, were two points behind at the half and tied it up in the third canto. The jV's lost, 32-25 as Tom Forcier and Lefty Richard led their team. David Prouty pulled a 54-48 victory out of the ffre, scoring six straight points in the last minute of the game to come from behind and take a well-earned victory. Ben Robert paved the way for Notre Dame scoring 17 and playing an excellent over-all game, while Ronald Gaumond again showed his ability to clear the boards, but they couldn't do it alone. The JV's lost as Tom and Paul Forcier teamed up with Lefty Richard in a gallant try, as only their inability to control the boards proved fatal in the outcome.

Well . . . said the boys. But in spite of all misgivings, the first year we 7 nevertheless won one victory. Besides, we pondered: N Next year we will do better. In a sense, therefore N ff' our own boys were our biggest rivals! After receiving excellent coaching from Lorraine Proulx Cnow Mrs. Bouthillierj the team is now getting skillful training from Mr. Edward Julien. In spite of a strong enthusiasm, to date, history has only repeated itself and the girls have only won again this year, just one game . . . But, preparedness is everything . . . and Rome wasn't built in a day . . . and the junior Varsity won two games to date . . . so . . .

Whether by the process of elimination or simple voting, Laura Bachand emerged as captain of the cheerleaders. No mystery there! The Senior class can boast of two other cheerleaders: Sylvia Mar- and and joan Paquin. If it is true that a new broom sweeps clean, those two new girls brought out the truth of the adage and did a wonderful job. The Juniors added pep and vim to the cheering squad with Pauline Courtemanche, Dolores Racicot and Claudette Ouellette. The Underclassmen were represented by Diane Phoenix, Sopho- more, a granc' leader in her second year of cheering. At the t p of the Crescendo we find our little mascot, Henry Lavallee, whose voice powerfully vibrant in its small way was as an harmonic to the fundamental chorus of many cheers of the Blue and White . Make those cheers lasting, girls . . . cast that Blue and White ' spirit of cheer ahead of you always . . . It helped Notre Dame High, it will boost you when in need, and will keep each and every one of you always on the way up instead of down. Jacqueline Bergeron 65 A pi. it 1. A' 6-:-za 1 Sedan!

At 7:30 am., the schoolyard is buzzing with eagerness as everyone is waiting for the reluctant freshmen, the to-be victims of Initiation Week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday pass while the freshmen are kept busy polishing shoes, running errands, and trying to carry out the orders of the Mighty Seniors . On Thursday, the to-be-initiated are assigned their special attire for Friday - the big day. Friday morning! Here they come, bravely marching on! Girls wear- ing their fathers' shirts backward, one sock, one nylon, clay packs on their faces and pigtails and pincurls in their hair. The boys look no less freakish with rolled-up trousers, ribbons tied around their legs, a generous coat of makeup, their mothers' hats and a safety-first umbrella. What a day this is. But the freshmen truly dread to see dusk creeping upon them, because they know that worse is yet to come. At 6 pm. every senior is at the parish hall waiting for the freshmen in order to send them out on a treasure hunt. A half hour is allowed for the quest and a prize is awarded the winning team. 'UN' WN? LL,t...: uealw liKvX-: 'f'xU 'Y'1'- After being safely escorted to the lower hall, the freshmen simply have to await their fate. As the time approaches for the formal initiation, the Sisters, the Priests, and the underclassmen are made comfortable to view the procedures. As soon as the jury is seated, the Senior Court comes to order. A Senior Prosecutor awaits the first accused who, blindfolded, is led through the hall, accompanied by the haunting strains of Dragnet . On stage, the defendant faces the Court, while the prosecutor states the case, convinced beforehand that the tried and true members of the jury can return no verdict other than that of guilty , The accused, having been found guilty, must pay his debt to society, and consequently is sentenced. Then, in sharp contrast with the ordeal of 45 trials by jury, follows the election of the king and the queen of the Freshman Class. To Miss Gloria Proulx, goes the honor of Freshman Queen , while Ronald Gaumond is acclaimed as King of the Freshmen. Following the Coronation, a gouter is served to all by the Senior Class. Hearty congratulations go to you, brave Freshmen, for your remark- able sportsmanship! May this excellent spirit abide with you always, especially throughout your High School DAYS Cnot DAZED! Q?

Through it much has been done for entertainment and social gatherings of all sorts, primarily for the benefit of the whole student body at Notre Dame High School and secondly for all the youth of the parish. Laura Bachand has proven herself a very capable leader of the Social Committee and very justly deserved the title of General Chairman . She was ably assisted by fifteen other members, all students at Notre Dame High School, hand picked for their leadership and taken from all four years of High School studies. This school group is an important one. It is a very meritorious one, because the Work entails many a sacrifice. It is a very happy one because these students find many an opportunity to devote themselves, to learn that it is more blessed to give than to receive , and they really do radiate that serene and profound peace promised to men of good Will. Dear students, keep up the good work you have been doing so faithfully under the supervision of Father Lucier. May Mother Mary guide you and Watch over you in the years to come as she has so lovingly done in the past. SOCIAL COMMITTEE Front row - Pauline Courtemanche, Joan Paquin.

I I 1 1 'ZX WNW 414 In .7 W ! .jini . qu, - T 1-ve' The evening of May 29, 1955 will long be embedded in the hearts of seniors from the three schools participating in their annual prom - Seniors from Cole Trade, Saint Mary's, and Notre Dame High Schools. The hall was gaily decorated with a large crystal ball donated to the parish by the Amer- ican Optical Company. Streamers of pastel shades radiating from this crystal centerpiece produced a rousing effect. The stage was adorned with a large maroon curtain upon which stars had been sprinkled, while in the foreground, and to the right of Russ Cole's orchestra, was a statue of Our Lady, the Pat- roness of our prom. An eyeful of beauty was presented by the centerpiece, a large white, beautifully constructed bridge which was mounted over a large pool in which lilies were floating in blue tinted water. After the Grand March, the King and Queen of the prom were chosen in the person of jack Barry and Mary Day, Seniors of Cole Trade and Saint Mary's respectively. Each was presented with a gift. At ll P.M., the dancing ceased as the major- ity of the dancers left for the Webster-Dudley Country Club. There a hearty meal brought to an end a prom made successful by the full cooperation of juniors of Cole Trade, Saint Mary's and Notre Dame High Schools, but chiefly by the protection of our Holy Patroness Mary, our heavenly Mother.

With your kind permission, I, as dramatic critic of the Notre Dame Yearbook, will review the play called The Class of l954 , in an absolutely unbiased manner. This is a four-act play, with three all too brief intermissions. Throughout the action, there is incidental music by the high school orchestra. The play, written by the Great Dramatist, was presented by the actors as they played their parts under the direction of our beloved Sisters of the Assumption. Scenes take place in the high school building, in corridors, classrooms, auditorium and gymnasium. ACT I Our appearance on the Freshman stage is for us new and thrilling. We start out as a cast of 35 students all willing and able. Stage directors for this first act are: Sr. Marie-de-la-Reparation and Sr. Elizabeth-de-Hongrie. Officers of the case are: President: Constance Langloisg Vice-President: Laura Bachandg Secretary: Therese Porting and Treasurer: Evelyn Bourgeois. By way of introduction, activities are not too numerous in our first year since we are just getting acquainted with the script. However we manage to take a trip to Rivier College to see a pageant put on by its students. This Hrst act is characterized by rapidly rising action and the appearance of the villain called Study becomes of alarming size and proportions. The curtain of the first act falls on the freshmen gradually rejoicing over their safe encounter with Study although they suspect that the worst is yet to come. After a ten-week intermission the play is resumed for ACT Il. ACT Il We are the actors, now known as Sophomores. Several of the cast who were disabled in. their encounter with Study's allies, Examinations, were unable to appear in the second act. And by a rapid action, officers are immediately elected for the cast. Constance Langlois fills the President's seatg Laura Bachand acts as Vice President, Lucille Martel, as Secretary, and Evelyn Bourgeois, as able Treasurer. This Second Act is under the direction of Sr. Marie-de-la-Reparation, Sr. Elizabeth- de-Hongrie, Sr. St. jean-de-Cenacle, Sr. Marie-de- Lourdes and Sr. Gerard-Marie. Still the mention of Study casts a gloom over the brightness. More time and planning than before are spent in preparation against the enemy. There also are more activities and social events in the course of this second act. Our daring Sophomore class was the first to start the Saturday night dances held weekly in the school auditorium. The first dance was held October 12, 1951 in honor of Columbus Day. A trip to Nantasket Beach was planned, and all who went will cherish its memory. Some thought about the trip for days and weeks afterward, as their burning bodies helped to stimulate their memory. The action continues to rise until the end of the act, when we again have the inevitable struggle and the crisis brought about by Examination. Again, after a bitter exchange of hostilities, the class wins, - thanks to the time spent in preparation. ACT III Another ten weekskinterniission, and, not yet recovered from the Pupil-Examina- tions conflict, we stagger onto the stage for Act III. Again the characters and setting are the same - that which may make the play sound monotonous to you, but I assure you it is not. The actors are so changed that this seems like an entirely new play. We are now called Jolly juniors. Our position and our pride have both advanced, but there remains the haunting dread of Study, that villain! Our capable directors for this third Act are: Sr. Marie-de-la-Reparation,, Sr. St. jean-du-Cenacle, Sr. Marie-de-Lourdes, Sr. Elisabeth-de-Hongrie, and Sr. Eustelle-de- l'Eucharistie. Stage directors for the third Act are Raymond Desrosiers, Presidentg Constance Langlois, Vice-President, Laura Bachand, Secretary, and Sylvia Beaudry, Treasurer. 80 There are many delightful interludes that contribute to make this a cheerful act. Om' Ringt. Selecting our rings was indeed a joy never to be forgotten. Upon their ar- rival, the hand of every junior was flashing before everyones eyes. The Prom. What excitement there was in preparing the Senior Prom held at our Notre Dame Hall on May 29, 1953! It is not surprising that one Thursday after- noon was entirely spent decorating our beautiful hall. Senior-jzmior Banquet. A beautifully prepared banquet was served at the Lincoln House in Sturbridge in honor of the Juniors and Seniors. Kind Monsignor Lamothe and our beloved curates were our honored guests. Music and dancing followed, to the enjoyment of everyone. Thanks a Million to the class of 53 for such a wonderful time. Our Concert. The memory of our outstandingly successful concert will live on through- out the ages it seems. With Rev. Sr. Ste. Anne and Sr. Marie-de Montfort as our tireless and efficient directors and Norman julbert as our improvised but dynamic conductor, it could not have been anything but a success. Before the curtain falls, there is a recurrence of the dreaded but inevitable conflict. Study's emissaries. Examinations is defeated again. Again there is an intermission of ten weeks, which causes the Actors' joy to be intermingled with a note of sadness, perhaps because they realize that there is but one more act to follow. ACT IV Act IV arrives at last and is warmly received. The actors who showed promise of being stars in the preceding act have fulfilled that promise and now shine brightly. Dick-jockeys are selected from our Senior class in November to announce the results of a Top Ten Tunes poll taken at Notre Dame High. Among those selected for a radio broadcast over WARE are: Laura Bachand, Therese Fortin, Carmen Gen- dreau, Lucille Martel, Raymond Desrosiers, and Norman jalbert. Directors for this last act are: Sr, Marie-de-la-Reparation, Sr. Eustelle de-l'Eucha- ristie, Sr. Marie-de-Lourdes, Sr. St. jean-du-Cenacle. Officers of the Senior class are: Norman jalbert, President, Raymond Desrosiers, Vice-President, Laura Bachand, Secretary, Therese Fortin, Treasurer. We see in the spotlight Norman jalbert, Laura Bachand, and Therese Fortin. Norman, who represented us in the Franco-American Contest held at Assumption College in Worcester, brings home a victory scored in the semi-finals. Laura is chosen as our candidate for Good Government Day at Boston. What an excellent choice and a fine representative! Therese is a contestant competing in the Semi-Finals of the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. We also see our boys trying hard to bring in more victories for our Alma Mater, We have a good team endowed with a strong will, but Lady Luck is just not with us. Basketball is an art boys, just as is every other sport, so keep the good will, and that alone will be our victory. Let us not forget our wonderful cheerleaders who put all their pep and vigor into their cheers for our boys. Notre Dame will be missing three of its top cheerleaders in September 54. They are Sylvia Marand, joan Paquin and Laura Bachand, their peppy captain. As our drama is now pouring into a pleasant denouement, Study, met face to face, finally reveals himself not as an enemy, but as a friend who proves to be an invaluable ally to possess throughout life. Gratitude to our dear Sisters is expressed from the deepest recesses of our hearts. Thanks to their Christ-like zeal and professional competence, our drama, which could have taken a tragic turn - had we been left to our own limited resources and experi- ence - was transformed into a thrilling 20th Century Romance! e Our play thus ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music and congratulations - in short, graduation exercises at Notre Dame High School. May all Notre Dame High graduates bring credit to its name and prove as faithful to the school as N D H has ever been to them.

Our little town of Southbridge isn't little anymore, it isn't South- bridge anymore. It is now called The Town , because we can find no name worthy of it . You are wondering, no doubt what caused all this? I'll try to explain it all briefly in the next three or four hundred pages. Well, our Alma Mater, Notre Dame High, has won nation wide fame, it has taken all the Declamation and Oratory trophies the world over for the past thirty years. The school now rents these as a by-line for money-making. By the way, N. D. has been added to the Seven Wonders of the World. The Notre Dame Times Cformerly the Southbridge News J is read throughout the nation. On Friday, the thirteenth of November, the following headline appeared in the paper - Former Student of Notre Dame High Dies -. And below one reads - Adieu, dear Classmatef' Sylvia Marand, graduate of 1954 has silently passed away, the hrst snowfall got her.

I am finally inside those pearly gates, and, having received per- mission from St. Peter, I am coming down to terra Erma to visit the class of '54, After making my three-point landing, and knowing the whereabouts of one Laura Bachand Cthe first lady Mayor of The Town J, I quickly flew over to the former Mayor's grand estate. There to find the now sweet old lady reciting in a crackled voice- Knit one, purl two-. Resuming my fiight, I hear a toot-toot. Was it a Choo-choo train ? No! It is joan Paquin reciting Tou-Tou , that touching poem which has brought her great fame. As I proceeded onward, a billboard attracts my eye, Eat jackies's Spaghetti . A closer look reveals that jackie is none other than my old class- mate. I could see it all! jackie's seven children busy grinding the spaghetti while the dear old lady is still trying for her I-40's in shorthand. Music, I hear music, it seems to be curling, I continue on my journey. Little June Proulx, as I now learn, has had a very successful life as a result of inventing a formula for elongating people. She now stands 5'6 instead 4'9 . CHow's the weather up there?J. That music! It's getting louder, curling higher. - Why that crowd down there? It's roaring with laughter. Oh! they are watching my favorite comedian - Dan, who, in his old age, had become the world's best Tella-Vision funny man. Several days later, I find myself over a great hospital. The nameplate seems familiar. Shifting my gear ito dis end , I land. The nameplate reads - The Gendreau-Trahan A-sigh- loom -. Our Nurses have perfected a see-run for curing an-easier . That curling music is really loud now, guess I'll investigate. Why, it's Curly! He's a travel- ing salesman for the Hammond Organ Co. Cstill making with the melodies. Ehlb. As I drift away from that music, my other ear picks up a lovely scream , Jeannine, present manager of the Chilly Ice Company, is melodiously singing Baby It's Cold Inside . - Strange, how it's getting smoky up here. I wonder what's up Cbesides smoke and mel. Oh a factory! What do they manufacture here? There's the sign - Home of Brainy Breakfast Food -. The Managers are Lucille and Connie. I must say, they are doing all right. And, as I later learnt, Connie has 'become a, millionaire - and all on account of one little key to one little trig book . Oh! yes, Lucille has become another Shakespeare. Her latest play called Mac and Beth is truly a literary gem. - Two days have elapsed! Up in N.Y. somewhere, I find more music: Why it's Terry F. who after giving concerts at Ca-rniggy Hall , now conducts a school of music, called the Moaning Groaning Conservatory . After listening to a few moans, a screech, and more groans, I left. - Ray, I discover, after washing Treadway's dishes for ten years C dig those dishpan handsj has inherited the Public House. He is now living peacefully in Desrosiersville. - Well, well, what have we here, another sign. 84 Are you forgetful . Wonder what it's for? - That mob seems very eager to get tickets for something or other. Perhaps I'm missing something? Down we go. The Follies on Wheels, presenting the Skating Grandmothersf' Maybe it's somebody I know. Well, I should say I know them, they are Pauline and Doris, Cquite an exciting life, ehj - Another sign Do you always forget your wife's anniversary? - Forty-eight hours later - I have to interrupt my journey for a while. Having been instructed by St. Peter, to write him a report, I must sit down to the irksome task of writing a letter. Then another sign hits my eye. Do you hate to write letters? If so, let Joanne do it. Presto - to Joanne. Making myself visible, I enter her ofhce, and, after administering the smelling salts, explaining why I am not in Heaven and why I am in her office, I leave. - Is your Memory failing? Do you have to tie strings on your lingers, and then do you forget why you tied the strings? If so, go to Alice's great school, Mem'ry, Mem'ry, Who's got a Mem'ry. - Several days have passed - the air is getting mighty thin, it is getting hard to breathe. I had better go down. Oh! there's the cause of the disturbance, that helicopter is spraying some treesp those germs are certainly getting it. That reminds me of one of my classmates, dear Jeanne, Cshe really was a germ-haterj. Wait! The lettering of the side of the 'copter reads - 'A germ or not a germ'. That is the question of the future. To get rid of these pests, spray with Jeanne's Germicide. It kills them all . After several days, I began to feel the need for mortal food. An ice-cream sundae would suit me to a T. Well, bless my soul! an ice-cream parlor. Making myself visible I enter, and after ordering one of their Specials, I comment upon the delicious and diloferent flavorg receiving as an answer, of course, it's one of Anne's chef-d'oeuvres . Questioning further I found out that Anne has become the owner of a chain of Ice- Cream parlors throughout the country. Following this delicious feast, I come upon a strange sight - Ladies emerging from a huge building with the longest locks I ever saw, and men with equally long beards. A dazzling neon sign tells me the cause of it all. It reads: Use the Terry-Shirlienne formula for longer and longer lasting hair . For further details, see Shirley Therrien. On a street corner directly opposite the factory, I notice a queue of people waiting anxiously. A Portrait While You Wait reads a sign. And sitting behind it, doing the honors and making the money, is com- mercial artist, Marguerite Gervais. Having ample time to spare I decide to go sightseeing. After viewing the Grand Canyon of Niagara and the Colorado Falls, I come upon a dense forest, and right in the middle of the forest, stands a great laboratory. Who could be experimenting in this wilderness? It will do no harm to investigate. Well, it's Joan LaRochelle, guess she could not stand the sight of blood so she decided to become a medical chemist. She is now at work developing a cure for tongue-ites Clyingb and noseritis Cputting your nose where it doesn't belongb. The crucial moment - she is mixing the potion, it is smoking furiously and throwing out sparks of fire. Our chemist has a fearful look on her face. Then, quick as a wink, the loudest explosion ever heard occurs. Poor Joan! May her soul rest in peace. Then I notice a black, smoky vision rising toward meg after a long look, the vision resembles Joan - We both arrive at the pearly gates, St. Peter is both surprised and amazed to see that I also am covered with black smoke. Leaving my sooty companion at the judg- ment stand, I hurry over to the rose-water fountain to refresh myself before returning to my pink, fleece cloud for a long rest. My trip altogether was a pleasant one, and I do not in the least regret having undertaken it. I am very proud that my classmates have become very successful leaders. Wouldn't you be? jg ,Law afzfdfffeavl CLASS SONG: Our Lady of Fatima Ave Maria Ave Maria The heavens were opened our Lady appeared at Fatima one day To tell us again of the great need for prayerg As Her children we answer this way.
