Les preuves irrefutables de vos aptitudes se sont particulierement manifestees ici 5 Notre-Dame de Southbridge, ou nous vous devons une reconnaissance profonde pour la construction d'une Ecole Superieure la plus moderne et 1a plus renommee des environs. Mais ceci n'est qu'une de vos oeurvres remarquables. Nous pourrions fort bien en citer plusieurs autres notamment, en 'lannee meme de Wotre arrivee, la restauration de 1'interieur de 1'eg1ise, puis en '52, 1'addition d'une aile contigue 21 1'eco1e primaire, nous permettant de continuer notre ecole superieure. Dieu n'oub1ie personne, particulierement ceux qui se sont voues a le faire connaitre, aimer, et servir. Pour vous, Monseigneur, i1 avait reserve 1'honneur, d'etre le pasteur d'une eglise solennellement consacree en 1950 et 1'honorifique titre de Monseigneur que vous meritez pleinement. Mais d'apres le conseil que vous nous avez souvent donne dans vos captivantes classes de theologie pratique, vous etes reste tout 21 la fois, noble et humble et c'e5t en cela surtout que nous vous admirons. Pendant vos cinquante annees de prextrise, vous avez converti plusieurs personnes, aide' 5 beaucoup d'autres, temoigne un amour paternel envers tous. Nous voulons donc, vous offrir, cher Monseigneur, nos sinceres felicitations, souhaitant que 1957 soit pour vous vrairnent une Amee Doreen.

We are faced with innumerable decisions but though we feel our inadequacy in making these vi- tal decisions alone, we know that we can count on the guidance of our devoted curates who before us have faced these problems. From their experiences of success, they have given us valuable and irre- placeable guidance, for which we are greatly indebted. Guidance, regardless of the form it may take, indirectly springs from the omnipotence of God. Father Lucier, you have been a guiding light throughout our schooling at Notre Dame, and we, the Sen- iors of '57, wish to express our deepest gratitude to you. As chaplain of the CYC and Yearbook Advisor, you have exerted a personal influence on us and have helped us prepare for our journey into life. God bless you, Father, for your zeal and devotedness. In the hearts of each member of the Class of '5'7,your memory will live on and as a shining beacon, will guide us to righteousness and success. Father Smith, to you we owe very sincere thanks for you have tried to develop in us the ability to apply our knowledge rightly. To the growth of sports you have given your time and your effortsg you have taught us the sense of fair play, the need for a strong character, for determination to win the bat- tle of life. We appreciate your interest in the sport activities of Notre Dame and express our heartfelt thanks to you, Father, for promoting an upward trend in this field. The natural result of a deep faith is words. Father Choquette, your work among the Altar boys, Boy Scouts, C.C.D., and CYC reveal a faith that is strong and secure. You have won the hearts of all and we deeply appreciate your kind interest in our school activities. May you find in this life of service real satisfaction and abiding happiness. In unison, we, the Seniors of '57, thank you, the curates of Notre Dame, for your spiritual guidance and help that have made us stronger youths in the living Army of Christ and closer children of Mother Mary.

As the rest of the staff can attest, this phrase haunted us throughout the pro- duction of our yearbook. Yet with heads lifted high and the yearbook our cry, we fought our way through a maze of copy and pictures we meet our deadlines which always seemed to be behind us before we started. But we will always remember the yearbook gatherings and the enjoyment they gave us. While the finishing touches are being added to our masterpiece, I wish, as editor-in-chief, to take this oppor- timity to express my gratitude. First, to the staff who so willingly contributed their time, I wish to say a big thank you. It is con- soling to an editor to know that he is not alone when the work seems insurmountable. On behalf of the staff I wish to thank Father Lucier, whose helpful hints and concern made the work seem lighter. To the sisters who Lmdertook the task of correcting our copy, we say a well-deserved thank you. And to all the members of the class who donated their writing ability or spirit, may the yearbook be a source of en- joyment whenever you read it. Last but not least, our patrons must not be forgotten for it is they who made this yearbook possible. Once again to everyone who gave us their time or efforts a grand merci.

Just as a singer antici- pates the outcome and acceptance of his first song, so do we look out at the days a- head, and just as an old favorite of every music-minded person sinks into the past, so will we sadly fall into the oblivion of N.D. History. Before we go, however, we would like to leave our heirs what is rightfully thens. Pauline Ayotte leaves to Therese Therrien her commercial ability. The right key, the right characterg right business. She also leaves her love of obedience to Pauline Lavallee. Obedience is the quality of the wise.

' 6 . We ll From smiling sophomores, we forty-three, too quickly entered category of Jolly Juniors . The gay, light-hearted group was soon entangled with the complicated problems of physics, and algebra, with Sister Saint Blanche as the professor. The niceties of our American Litera- ture and the politics of America were introduced to us by our new home-room teacher, Sr. Wilfred-du-Sauveur With the inspiring Religion classes and French Lectures of Sr. L'Enfant- Jesus we were very soon in step with the most arduous workers of Notre-Dame. We all hailed Sr. Veronica, our long appreciated Commercial teacher. We welcomed into our year a new student Constance Bonneville and the return of Ronald LeBlanc and Paul Senecal. Studies began in earnest but were interrupted by the all-important election of our class of- ficers. The results were: President, Donald Dufaultg Vice-President, Louise Beaupre'g Secre- tary, Pauline Payant, Treasurer, Paul Laliberteg Librarian, Jacqueline Dupre. The I Speak for Democracy Contest brought Frederic I-letu and Raymond Lavallee as Junior Class representatives in the school elimination contest. We shall be glad to remember our Junior-Year Christmas because our class unanimously voted to cancel the traditional gift, to contribute the money for the benefit of the Hungarian refugees. It was our little gift and our way of thanking Christ for the blessings that are ours. The highlight ofJanuary was our beautiful Class Ring Blessing Ceremony. Monsignor Lamothe presided over the blessing and he handed to each Junior his long-awaited Notre Dame ring. Our proud parents were the guests of honor. To them and to our teachers we owe all we have been given. The mid-term examinations brought another epidemic of shivers, fears, and nightmares rendered even worse by a few days of inclement weather dampening our spirits even more dur- ing last minute reviews! But everyone soon recovered and Monday, January 28 the second semester was violently attacked. Days of study--days of exams--days of run, scattered here and there made of our Junior Year a Red Letter Year. We are grateful to all our teachers who help make Notre Dame one of the very best of all schools.

Two new teachers were assigned to the Classical Sophomores: Sister Wilfred-du-Sauveur for Latin and Biology Sister Marie -de-la-Redemption, home-room teacher, for Geometry and Engl ish. Sister Marie also taught English, Typing and Shorthand to the Commercial Sophomores while our loyal and devoted Sister Saint-Rollande took Religion and French and became the home-room teacher for that group. Sister Monique-du-Crucifix also gave Business Mathematics to that same group. Donald Cournoyer was chosen to preside over the destinies of the class for a second time, while Donald For- cier was elected Vice-President, Doris Lippe, Secretaryg Celine Lazure, Treasurerg Rachel Beaudry and Paul Cour noyer, Counselors. Parliamentary Procedure was strictly adhered to in our class meetings, this year. The yellow rose was chosen as our class flower, and we unanimously, voted for our class motto, Dominic Savio's words of wisdom: What we are to be, we are now becoming. --On devient ce qu'on se fait. Our first real work of the season was the essay contest, I Speak for Democracy , sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. We were proud to have Sandra Lesniewski as one of the school finalists. And how happy we were to have Shirley Provost bring honors to Notre Dame from the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest which took place in the Fall. Last November, a great number of Sophies attended the CCD Convention held at Wor- cester Auditorium. ln early December, Public Speaking was in style. Varied oral reports, demanding much research work, were given and proved very informative. Another interclass competition was held in January: this time, memory pas- sages from our classic Julius Caesar were delivered. Sister Superior acted as judge. Among the outstanding orators were Sandra Miller, Marguerite Giguere, Rachel Picard, Rachel Beaudry and Paul Cournoyer. And very soon came Christmastide. Highlights at our traditional Christmas Party were a short ballet dance by our graceful Sister Saint Rollande, the PREMIERE of our Honey Tones , and the great surprise of the projection of our own baby pictures coupled with our actual selves . The January examinations we faced with the utmost seriousness, but what a relief once these necessary evils were passed! ,To relax our nervous muscles after those mid-year exams, we attended The Seven Wonders of the World in the Cinerama Theatre in Boston. This January 28 outing was a delightful event. And so our sophomore year has rolled by--a year we are porud to have lived and we havelived it! To all our teachers, especially to our home-room teachers, who were the true backbones of our Sophomore Year, and to Monsignor Lamothe, who faithfully instructed us in the practical ways of living a real active Faith, we express our sincere gratitude now and always.

For the first time, both classical and commercial courses were to be held in the freshman year. Finding ourselves safe and sound the following week, we elected our class officers: Arthur Marquis, presi- dentg James Martel, vice-presidentg Lucille Gendreau, secretary and Madeleine Hetu, treasurerg for our social committee, Richard Lapierre, chairmang Therese Lavallee, co -chairman. Even as Freshmen we were cordially invited to become co-operative CYCers. We want to congratulate the CYC on the wonderful work that they are doing. Thank you for admitting us into this prosperous organiza- tion. A class ice-skating party was held at Ronald Senecal's camp at Cedar Lake on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Everyone enjoyed themselves and went home weary but happy. To display our talents we all participated in the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest under the capable super- vision ofReverend Sister St. Rollande. We really gloated over the results for Rene Ferron came through with fly ing colors as he won the semi-finals. No small honor indeed! Our freshman boys showed us their terrific ability on the basketball court. Keep up the good work boys? Here you have our eventful Freshman Year. Though we are pushed by the march of time and must advance as Sophomores, one sure th ing is that the memory of our first day and first year in High School will remain ever sacred. We shall always think of our teachers as having been the source of our inspiration toward our highest ideals and noblest sentiments.

Ll 7262 No matter how many extra curricular activitiesenter the agenda of the average high schooler, sub- jects always take priority, for this is the essence and purpose of high school. We, through the generos ity of our parents and parishioners, have had the added advantage of receiving the Catholic principles that will guide us to our eternal salvation, while acquiring the necessary abilities to make our way through this life. In the following two pages, we have not attempted to make a ponderous treatise on education, but rather we have attempted to give you a cross sectional glimpse of us while acquiring this education and, at the same time, have tried to arrange these pages with the hope that a glance through them will take us right back into the classrooms where we received it, and where we spent a good part of our wonderful high school days.

P 1 1.-. Looking back into history we find that the Catholic Youth Council at Notre Dame High School has been in existence for only three years, and already it has grown to a considerable size. Its active membership during the recent scholastic term totaled 150 students, ten officers, two moderators and one chaplain. In that order, the student body chose: Armand DeGrenier, president, Norman Ledoux lst vice-president, Ronald Richard, l2nd vice-president, George Bellerose, treasurer 5 Gloria Proulx, secretary, Donald Cournoyer, historian, Omer Guay, spiritual chairman, Diana Pariffau, cultural chairman, Madeleine Haling, social chairman and Paul Cournoyer, physical chairman. The capal: 3 moderators were Sister St. Veronique and Sister St. Monique-du-Crucifix and our revered chaplain was Fathe. Gerard Lucier. Throughout the year, the entire group labored unrelentlessly in the four fields of action wi. which the CYC deals, namely, spiritual, cultural, social and physical. To go on record without remembering r few of these activities would be like burning incense Without enjoying the aroma. Our devout communion Sundays and first Fridays, our wonderful CYC flyers, the gala corn-eating festival, the meritorious Christmas distributions, the elaborate Parents' Night 5 the happy skating parties 5 the dignified weekly dances, the frolicsome Mardi Gras, all projects of the CYC, all events laid for the unifying, sanctifying and activating of the Catholic youth of our school. As another first for the council during '56-'57, the weekly Saturday night dances were placed under its spon- sorship. The able social committee, however, did not mind the change and ardently continued their difficult task of setting up and preparing for this week-end amusement. Although various methods of organization are used in the many councils throughout the home diocese, the assembly was held in high esteem as being one of the few chapters which held its montly meeting outside the regular school hours. On the second Monday of every month the entire body, uniting the efforts of each individ- ual in the school cafeteria, planned and debated the varied extra-curriculum. Each meeting disclosed new talent and sincere participants. Successful in organization, the council has gained many laurels on which to rest yet the most cherished treasures of all stand far above the material accomplishments of the group. The sincere blessings extended to it by His Excellency Bishop John J. Wright, and by our pastor, Monsignor Jean B. Lamothe, have been held in high regard by all the members. The Catholic Youth Council is a young order of young people. Its ideals are great and its workers are many. Its future is assured as the positive outlook on a bright morning sunrise. We are but a sector of a unified group, bent to make itself known throughout the world for the greater glory of God. Once again, Notre Dame has add- ed a note to the majestic symphony, For God and Youth .

This quotation, I think, is most fitting for the Notre Dame High Glee Club. It's members have tried their utmost to contribute to the greater glory of God. l In 1955, at Christmastime, the students presented the play Star Over Bethlehem . The Glee Club V r sang that night and made a great showing. Our sincere thanks from deep within our hearts go to Sister 3 Claire-de -la-Trinite for her tireless devotion and to Sister Eustelle-de-1'Eucharistie who very ably as- S sisted her. As the years go by, we shall never forget the joys we had singing at the 8:00 Mass on Sunday. In blending our voices in praise of Cod and His Blessed Mother we can be sure there will be a reward in the end. We extend our sincere thanks to our choir directors and especially to Sister Aurea, and we wish the best of luck to the up-and-coming Glee Club members.

Why of course, where else, but to the beauti- fully decorated Tri-Hi Prom, being held at Notre Dame Hall. Many couples seated at our gaily decorated tables watched the enticing couples gliding along to the enchanting music of Russ Cole and his orchestra. In the course of the evening delicious and refreshing punch was served by gracious students. Then came the highlight of the even- ing--The Grand March---As the couples paraded before the judges, rainbows of assorted pastel colors enhanced our elegantly decorated hall. The glamour and splendor of it all left glowing faces on balcony onlookers. Then it was decided--what a thrill! The judges, had picked our own classmates Annette Duval and John Despres as queen and king of this memorable evening. Decoration Committee Chape- . vi . ,UW A Iii .

Miss Duval's attire consisted of a ravishing yellow evening gown. She also wore a corsage of yellow baby orchids given to her by her escort. Mr. Despres was not behind the door either, being one of the most handsome and elegant boys there. The two seated together made an ideal couple. A fter the crowning, the orchestra was asked to play a waltz, and the royal pair was spotlighted for a few moments. The other couples then joined in and resumed the evening fes- tivities. Around 11:30 p.m. when dancing feet started to tire and girls and boys started to get a little restless--no, the evening was not over yet but rather was at its climax. At this point only one thought became dominant. Every- one sought their brightly shining cars and started off where they would later meet at the Colonial Club in Webster. There we were entertained by soothing organ music, all the while, eating a meal fit for a king. It was around two in the morning that we walked up our front walks and said good night to our escorts. Then we faded away in a slumber, only to dream of all the exciting and glamorous little details of this wonderful evening that we will al- ways--remember.

The 1956-57 basketball season opened at the North Grovernordale gym. Our first and our most exciting game was a feather in our cap. Although behind by fifteen points during the third quarter, Notre Dame zoomed by to win Marianapolis by a two-point margin. After this tremendous show of energy and will to win Notre Dame was assured of an outstanding basketball team. As the season rolled by, the team was provided with its share of thrills and spills. At the season's end the team had piled up with a record of 9 wins and 10 losses. A very impressive one, con- sidering past years. For this vast improvement, we give a hearty thanks to our Athletic Director, the Reverend Father Smith who so fully devoted himself. We are sincerely grateful to our coach, Greg Decataldi, for his ex- cellent coaching, and his ever-ready work of encouragement when the chips were down.

'E The Notre Dame 1957 baseball team will be under the leadership of Mr. Ovila Tiger Donais, who will be assisted by our able basket- ball coach Mr. Greg Decataldi and our devoted sports director and chaplain, Father J. A. Smith. Under such leadership the N. D. boys will make out quite well. This year we will be a part of the newly organized Catholic League and besides these games, we will only play the traditional home-town games. The prospect of players, which appears very good, constitutes the largest turnout in the history of N.D.H. All last years' players with the exception of Richard Patenaude, a graduate of '56, will return this year. From the freshman class, we find a very encouraging group of energetic boys hoping for positions on this year's team. Looking ahead, it will give Mr. Donais something to work with in order to perfect the team for future seasons. Mr. Donais has a big job on his hands. We wish him the best of luck, and hope that he will be successful in all his endeavors to make of this year's team, the best yet at Notre Dame High.

Green Door, what's that secret you're keeping. When initiation night rolled around with its crash, bam, alakazam we nervously recited our Teenage Prayer. It's a good thing we did . . . for we Walked the Line that night. It was less than a week later that we, new -notes of the Notre Dame staff, chose our leaders for the year. They were Armand DeGrenier, presidentg Omer Guay, vice- presidentg Therese Martin, secretaryg Pauline Racicot, librariang Ronald Trudeau, treasurer. Under the guiding hand of our devoted home room teacher Sr. Bernadette- Marie and the watchful eye of interested Sr. Ste. Rollande, we were assured of a suc- cessful year. Not as strangers, now, we joined our musically inclined upperclassmen and chose our members of the social committee: Richard Giguere, ehairmang Gloria Proulx, Lorraine Brunell and Thomas Forcier, his associates who jumped in step with helping hands to give their all for the success of the Saturday night hops. As the trees lost their Autumn Leaves, all the Sisters students and candidates were In the Mood for the annual Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. After stiff competition, we selected Armand DeGrenier to represent usg although he didn't win, Armand Sincerely did his best. A stupendous job, Armand. After a White Christmas, and the Easter Parade , came the end of our freshman year, and time for our class trip . . . what better place to go than By the Sea, at Nantasket Beach. As we returned to Notre Dame High School for our second year, we held the proud title of Sophomores, determined to get our name in N.D.H. History. With Sr. Ste. Rolande, as our home room teacher, and Sr. Ste. Veronique, Sr. Jeanne- de -Florence, Sr. Bernadette -Marie and Sr. Marie -de-Lourdes as our Guiding Lights, our first great undertaking was to elect our class officers. We chose Armand DeGre- nier, presidentg Omer Guay, vice-presidentg Pauline Racicot, secretary, Norman Le- doux, treasurerg and Gloria Dumas, librarian. This year, Omer Guay was chosen to represent us at the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. Our confidence in him was not misplaced, for Omer showed himself very capable. Our social committee, under the leadership of Richard Giguere, Gloria Proul, Lor- raine Brunelle and, a new addition, Donald Charpentier, again proved their worth in putting on the Saturday night dances. It was A Grand Night For Singing on March 25 and 27, when the Glee Club pre- sented a very successful concert under the direetorship of Sr. Eustelle -de -l'Eucharistie and Sr. Marie -de -Montfort. We Never Felt More Like Singing the Blues than we did as exam time drew near, but we were consoled by the fact that the Good Old Summertime and vacations would soon be here. September, l955-- School Days were here again. Upperclassmen now, we felt like we were Sitting on Top of the World. In view of the busy year ahead, under the careful tutorship of our home room teacher Sr. Marie -de -la -Reparation, Sr. Eustelle-de -l-Eucharistic, Sr. Ste. Blanche, Sr. Jeanne -de-Florence, Sr. Ste. Veronique, we selected our leaders of the year, Ar- mand DeGrenier, presidentg Pauline Racicot, vice-presidentg Judith L'Ecuyer, secre- taryg Omer Guay, treasurer. 58 , , ' ' ' ' ' 'H' ' 'V' ' ' 'TC f if' X ' 'xv ' V41 'fl 1.14,-A :Q J- 1 .r:...n'9t. 9 76.-tzlgirfwf mp.

With the C.Y.C. in tip -top working order, we were pleased to have three Juniors among the officersi Armand DeGrenier, president, Norman Ledoux, vice-presidentg and Lucille Gouin, second delegate. Omer Guay and Gloria Dumas did a fine job in representing us at the Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. Omer also deserves much applause for attaining second place in a French Oratori- calContest held at Assumption Prep. The crowning glory of five months of research and effort was presented on March 25-26-27 at the First Notre Dame High Science Fair. At a luncheon for all partici- pants, the judges announced The Chosen Few. They were: the winners, Gloria Du- mas and Armand DeGrenier, who participated at the regional Science Fair at Worcester Tech. and Ronald Richard, Beatrice Pion, Pauline Racicot and Diana Pariseau who participated at the Massachusetts State Science Fair held at M.I.T. While Elvis Presley's Hound Dog look was sweeping the country, the Juniors class rings were the topic of conversation here, at Notre Dame High. The question continually being heard in May was Who's Gonna Take You to the Prom, and ours was the pleasure of sponsoring Harbor Lights , our prom. And so after a year of hard work, we left on a well-needed summer vacation. On September 5, 1956, we returned to school as the Mighty Seniors determined to make the best out of our remaining school days. You Gotta have Faith, Hope and Charity, so we decided to do a charitable deed by initiating the Freshmen. But, we were deeply hurt by the fact that the freshmen didn't appreciate our efforts. Our teachers for, this, our final year were: Sr. Ste. Blanche, home room teacher, Sr. de -l'Enfant Jesus, and Sr. Ste. Veronique. Class officers elected were: Armand DeGrenier, president, Richard Giguere, vice- presidentg Pauline Ayotte, secretary, Omer Guay, treasurerg and Rosaire Charland, counselor. Edwina Tardiff was our choice for the annual Bishop Wright Declamation Contest. Eddie did a fine job, and we're very proud of her. This year we were honored to have six seniors as C.Y.C. officers. They were: Ar- mand DeGrenier, presidentg Norman Ledoux, first vice-presidentg Ronald Richard, second vice -president, Gloria Proulx, secretary, Omer Guay, spiritual chairmang and Diana Pariseau, cultural chairman. In January, it was revealed that Diana was the winner of the Betty Crocker Home- maker of Tomorrow. Another of our seniors received an award--Thomas Forcier was given the Junior Good Citizenship Award of Southbridge. As the year progresses we Seniors are going Round and Round in a dither with all our activities: our Spaghetti Supper, the game between the Seniors of '57 and the Varsity of '58, and getting the yearbook out on time. Instead of being Apple Blossom Time it was Cherry blossom time in Washington, when we went there for our class trip. As Graduation Day draws near, Now Is the Hour for us to say goodbye but we shall always have these wonderful Moments to Remember.

Q We are now in the year 1977 and after 20 years of majoring in Screechology at the Lost Chord Institute, we have returned for a short visit to our town of Southbridge--now known as SUCCESSVlLLE . Much to our surprise, as we alight from the Flying Cup on which our dear old classmate, Patricia Marand Qwho has really gone up in this worldj was the stewardess, we are greeted by Edw ina Tardif, the owner of the Guide -A -Tour Agency , who upon hearing of our visit, made a point of being our guide in the city of Success- ville! fEddie always did make a point of being around when needed.J Walking on along Main Street, a billboard advertisement attracts our attention: Stand Tall--A dd Inches To Your Height--,Try Lorraine Payant's New Escalator Shoes--You'll Go Up In This World, She hasn't given up yet, has she? But wait--who's that with the bucket and brush--well, what do you know--it's our old friend Gertrude Pa quin cleaning the billboard. She 's still giving the Boards the Brush. Keep 'em spotless, Gert. Let's take a stroll to the East Side of town. They say Judy L'Ecuyer owns and operates a roller-skating rink down there. Here we are already at Judy's place-- THE BIG WHEEL . Let's look in on her. There she is-- Who's that with her--why, what do you know,--it's Phyllis Langlois. She now owns her own soda fountain-- PINK MALT SHOPPE. Eddie says Phyllis is the biggest malted millionaire of Successville. Leaving this section of the city, quite contented, we decide to go to the South End. Immediately upon cross- ing some golden gates we notice a huge marble structure. Let's read the inscription on the golden plaque. It says, Honey chile, you are now entering the residence of Armand DeGrenier, the President of the United States. He moved the capitol from Washington to Successville. Armand always was very loyal. Let's take a look around. There 's an out-of-state car. Its license plate reads Brainville , and there's Ronald Richard, the mayor of the said city. Upon asking him what the reason was behind his success, he answered: I owe my success to my motto--'Don't be dull-Use your skulll . Now that we've visited the capitol and have conversed briefly with a mayor and the President, we'll just sort of walk along and see what we can recognize. Why, there's what used to be the Town Hall . Eddie tells us it is now known as the lt Building. It has every new-fangled invention you can think of. It even has Estelle Lacasse's shorthand -writing machine. This is much easier and faster than commercial speed test. In one of the bigger offices of It, we find Pauline Ayotte, now executive manager of all the business affairs of Success- ville. She is bent over her large desk trying desperately to figure out a new bookkeeping system eliminating all journals except the General Journal, Leaving It Building we decide to go into another exclusively constructed edifice, once known as the Strand Theater, now one of the nation's largest Television Stations. Here we find Ray Cyr, world famous criminologist, rehearsing for a new T.V. series known as WHO DONE IT. On another set we see Annette Duval, who is now a Dance Studio Owner and Teacher, preparing her2000 students for a musical number. They are to render her new dance step the Top Hop fThey have to stand on their heads to dance it.J Enough of this elaborate show business. Let's just walk and talk about what Eddie's heard of our other classmates. ll 60 - -- .- - A -f -Jw ---c vw -vw' w H- wemwnrfxvnsrwuxpuv .- If lu 9 Lucille Gouin, who has devoted her life to the care of newborns, finally has to give up her profession because of the arrival of her twentieth child. Do you have trouble finding a baby-sitter? Call Sv. 9-2064 and ask for either Ioan Trahan or Cecile Robert now in charge of the R SL T Traning School which has an enrollment of students who are going to be the baby--sitters of tomorrow. i I Strolling along we notice a huge sign on the side of the road saying Do You Have A Sore Back? Do Your , B.. Teeth Miss The Bite? Do Your Bones Feel Starchy?--Visit Diana Pariseau or Physical Tear-a -piece. She 'll put t- an end to your ailments. - Eddie has just informed us that Richard Gigure and John Despres, who have alwa ys dreamed of being Engine- Q heirs have just inherited an enormous amount of engines. She also has informed us that two of our most beloved classmates Gloria Dumas and Norman Ledoux who were working on an hydratom bomb in their own research 2 laboratory, had the misfortune of mixing the wrong chemicals which ca used the greatest explosion of the history f of Successville. May they rest in pieces. Wait a minute, what's that zzzzz sound. It's coming from the right. Let's investigate. Well, we'll be ii d ---- , it's Rosy Charland sleeping on the job, but that 's all right--he's working at sampling mattresses for the Fa -La -Do-Do Mattress Company. Rosy always did appreciate his afternoon nap. gg As we walk down lengthy Scale Street, we decide to make a visit to the Black White 85 Red All Over Pub- lishing Company owned and operated by our classmate Ronald Gaumond. CBy the way, Ronnie now stands at :I seven feet.j Right across the street from Ronnie's place we find Witty-Wit Forcier sitting at his tidy desk writing jokes for Jerry Lewis. Qln his spare time Tom takes Bob Cousy's place with the CelticsJ gl Hearing the noon bell ring, we decide to go somewhere for lunch so we enter the Fair Price Restaurant, which if Eddie tells us is owned and operated by Gloria Farland and Gloria Proulx. Those girls always did believe in ad- 4, vertising the nuth. They most certainly do so. When we received the check we FEARED we couldn't pay the PRICE, Lucky we knew the girls. 5: We then decided to visit the rest of the city by cab so we rented one of Donald Charpentier's Triple C Spec- gi ials CCharpentier's Classy Cabsj -- has everything from an air conditioner to an electric heater--inkwells to Lg pencil sharpeners and has the exclusive Cloud-a-matic Drive. Like riding on air, lj Rolling along in this snazzy buggy, we pass a remarkably huge building owned by Dolores Lavallee, and dis- H I playing a neon sign reading Dod's Cookie Come -Pennie , Take a glint at the hint. 21 Eddie tells us that at the next street we will find the Cheery Academy where Pauline Racicot trains cheer- fi leaders of the future. Pauline was also chosen Miss Hip Hooray of 19'75. ffl Oh, there's the world-famous Guay Skyscraper. It dwarfs the once famous Empire State Building. It is 300 ff 'cyl stories high and is the resting place of many tired featured friends. And there 's Omer Guay the owner coming -- out of the building. My but he's changed. He looks at least twenty years older. Our visit completed we decided we would go back to the Institute by train, so Eddie led us to the Choo-Choo it Line owned by Paul Trahan fHe's really lived up to his nickname.J - Now that we've visited our old classmates and town again, we feel very contented and are very very proud of E-f our classmates--wouldn't you be? ff The Great Prophets F: F G Lorraine Brunelle.
