Nous avons vecu ce temps glorieux pendant nos annees scolaires, et nous vous avons fetee avec amour et joie en Vos grands triomphes, 6 notre Mere du ciel. Vous nous avez suivis de votre regard maternel et nous avez combles de graces toutes speciales en nous associant ainsi a vos gloires immortelles. O Mere tout immaculee, suivez-nous encore de votre sourire et de votre grace maternelle w 5 f' x.. w Q dans les jours a venir. Pour etre dignes de votre amour et de votre protection, nous voulons vivre le mot d'ordre que vous nous avez donne par Bernadette: Priere . . . Penitence ! Ainsi vous pourrez, par VES- PRIT-SAINT, former en nous JESUS en tous ses mysteres, nous rendant par la, 1'objet des complaisances du PERE. Et nous aurons le bonheur de dire au terme de la vie: Que j'ai hate de vous voir, 6 ma Mere, car, au dire de Bernadette, vous etes si belle, que lorsqu'on vous a vue, on veut mourir pour vous revoir encore.

C'est donc pour partager cette jubilation tout argenteen et en meme temps satisfaire nos coeurs reconnaissants que nous, les finissants de 1959, dedions notre annuaire l'Etoile at la memoire de notre fondateur, Monseigneur Desrochers, P. D., aux premieres maitresses de l'Ecole, ,Soeur Sainte-Rollande, Soeur Francoise-de-Saint-Joseph, et Soeur Marie-de-l'Ange- Gardien, et e tous les etudiants qui ont passe par les classes de l'Ecole Superieure Notre-Dame. Depuis vingt-sinq ans, notre ecole a ete un modele de service consacre a Peclucation. de la jeunesse et a la formation des emes. Ce qui est encore admirable, c'est que le courage et Venthousiasme de nos devouees maitresses ne semblent pas avoir ete alteres par les annees. Au contraire, leur zele s'est accru afin de con- tinuer l'oeuvre de leur vie consacree et de garder la reputation dont nous sommes tours fiers: celle d'une ecole de premiere valeur. Les annees passent, des changements inevitables transfor- ment l'aspect de l'ecole: En 1948 le local est transporte dans une belle annexe batie par Monseigneur J.-B. Lamothe, puis ce bon cure eleve une batisse toute neuve en 1954 pour permettre de loger les eleves toujours plus nombreux. Les chiffres suivants prouvent le progres d'expansion depuis 25 ans: En 1938 il y avait trois graduees. En 1959 nous sommes 37 gradues. Mais si le temps change la figure des gens et des choses, le coeur de Vecole reste jeune avec nous, les jeunes, afin de garder notre enthousiasme pour les nobles causes et de nous conduire at Dieu, par Marie, notre Mere et NOTRE DAME! Honneur donc et reconnaissance profonde a tous les pion- niers de la premiere heure qui ont fait l'oeuv1'e de Dieu en per- mettant a tous les jeunes d'etudie1' dans une ecole superieure catholique!

Tomorrow by this time, 37 scared, shaking and bewild- ered but happy Seniors will join the alumni of their Alma Mater, Notre Dame High School. But what of tonight? Well, right now they are all trying to get some sleep. A feat easier said than done since even the deepest sleeper is finding himself haunted by the same recurring dream . . . a dream of the PAST! Through the haze from the world of yester- day we see the green entrance door of Notre Dame High School. As the haze clears, there appear 52 nervous, excited and very inexperi- enced freshmen. Everyone is standing around trying to knocking belie this resounds the door and the divide us act calm, cool, and collected but the knees and chattering teeth soon attitude completely. As the first bell in our ears, we all tumble through and into our classroom. One count teachers immediately decided to into two groups, 1A and IB. This soon proved to be a wise move by our devoted Sister Pierre d'Avila, Sister Sainte-Rollande, and Sister Bernadette-Marie, since it enabled them to teach us in an easier and better way. No one but a veteran, of many years such as Sister Marie-de-la-Reparation would under- take teaching 52 impetuous students at once! While we were settling into the routine of changing classes at curious hours and learn- ing new subjects with complicated textbooks, one thought kept creeping into our tortured cf gxi., df! r-,ly X .f minds . . . Initiation! When that day finally arrived, however, we soon forgot our fear in the whole-hearted enjoyment which we felt. The fun-packed day ended all too soon with a dance at which we waltzed with Norman Lafrenais, Freshman King, and Yvette Vaillancourt, Freshman Queen. No sooner had the events of initiation been packed away in the memory box when elec- tions came around. Here the students showed the seeds of a new-found maturity and wis- dom by placing the reigns of power into the hands of President Donald Cournoyerg Vice- President Marguerite Giguereg Secretary Celine Lazureg and Treasurer Richard Cour- noyer, Class 1Ag and President Donald For- cierg Vice-President Yvonne Guillemetteg Secretary Doris ,Lippeg and Treasurer Carol Young, Class 1B. All in all it was a wonder- ful year, a year to be cherished and remem- bered always. Turning lightly in our sleep, we come face to face with our Sophomore year. A year of pleasure as well as of schooling. Classes are deeper and the work harder, and with this extra work comes new names to our groups. We are now proudly bearing the titles of Classical and Commercial Divisions. Sister Wilfred-du-Sauveur, Sister Marie-de-la-Re- demption, Sister Sainte-Rollande, and Sister Monique-du-Crucifix were gladly shared by both groups. Donald Cournoyer was chosen to preside over the destinies of the class for a second time with Donald Forcier as Vice-President: Doris Lippe as Secretary: Celine Lazure as Treasurer, Rachel Beaudry and Paul Cour- noyer as Counselors. Parliamentary procedure was the by-word for all meetings this year and the all-time motto unanimously voted for was Dominic Savio's words of wisdom: What we are to be, we are now becoming. . . . On devient ce qu'on se fait. The first real hard work of the season was the essay contest, I Speak for Democracy sponsored by the Junior Cham-ber of Com- merce. The Sophomore pride was flying high when Sandra Lesniewski came away with the top honors for the school. We were really walking on air a few months later when Shirley Provost won the Bishop Wright Dec- lamation Contest in Worcester. In early December, Public Speaking was in style. Varied oral reports demanding much research work, were given. It was far from rare, also, to hear our classmates spouting various passages from our classic Julius Caesar. Then came 'Christmas with its gay holiday spirit. Highlights of iour traditional party were a short ballet dance by our graceful Sister Sainte-Rollande and the PREMIERE of our singing group, the Honey-Tones. Seriousness came with the January exams but as soon as these necessary evils had been passed, we relaxed our nervous muscles by attending The Seven Wonders of the World in the Cinerama Theater in Boston. It was a very fruitful and helpful year especially aided by the wonderful instructions from Monsignor Lamothe who instructed us in the practical way of living a real and active Faith. ' Nestling deeper into our snug and warm blankets, we smile in fond remembrance as our Junior Year comes to mind. Here was a year! On that glorious day called September 4, 1954, we paved our way back to another year of books, friends and teachers, as upper- classmen. The World was at our feet! First on the list of our busy agenda was the election of class oilicers. Chosen to lead our valiant crew of forty were: Donald For- cier, President 5 Donald Cournoyer, Vice- President, Doris Lippe, Secretary, and Rob- ert Provost, Treasurer. As October came along, every Junior buckled down to prepare for the declamation contest. After working hard for two weeks under the guidance of Soeur Sainte-Rollande, Norman Lafrenais was chosen to speak at Worcester. We were very a-bly represented. Then the most touching and solemn event of our beautiful and memora-ble year came into view. The reception of our class rings. This was the moment we had been striving for since our first days just a few short years ago. With great solemnity we received the blessed ring upon our finger and with joy in our hearts we realized that now we not only could proudly show we belonged to Notre Dame High but to Our Lady as well, for we would always carry the Miraculous Medal as long as we wore our ring. The end of our overflowing year came with the traditional Senior prom which is spon- sored by the Junior class. The hard work and long hours were Well worth the effort as .we saw the admiring glances and the happy crowd. Our gratitude for the success of our year goes especially to our headmaster, Father Lamothe, who worked so hard for us all, and- to our teachers, Sister Wilfred-du-Sauveur, Sister Marie-de-Lourdes, Sister Sainte-Rol- lande, Sister Louis-du-Saint-Sacrement, Sis- ter de l'Enfant-Jesus, and Sister Lucile-de- Jesus. Their devotion helped to make our Junior Year one that we shall long remember. The dawn comes silently creeping into our rooms as we silently relive our Senior Year, the year of years! 37 tired, hard-working but eager students are finishing the task of preparing to face the outside world and the difficulties that it will present. To aid us in the final steps, we are guided by the wisdom of our devoted headmaster, Father Lamothe, Sister Louis-du-Saint Sacrement, Sister Ma- deleine-du-Divin-Coeur, S i s t e r Marie-de- Lourdes, Sister de 1'Enfant-Jesus, and our most Reverend Sister Directress, Sister An- toine-de-l'Assomption. Mother Mary has in- deed watched over us and blessed us! Our class leaders for the Senior Year Were: Donald Forcier, Presidentg Donald Cournoyer, Vice-Presidentg Doris Lippe, Sec- retaryg Robert Provost, Treasurer. The C.Y.C. which we had all joined in our Freshman year continued to grow and to unite the students in work, play, and prayer. Paul Cournoyer, a capable Senior, was hon- ored with the presidency at the June elec- tions. Other Senior oiiicers were: Donald Cournoyer, First Vice-President, Doris Lippe, Second Vice-Presidentg Sandra Lesniewski, Cultural Chairman. They and Father La- mothe, our chaplain, worked to bring about creative inspirational monthly meetings Sports were not lacking in the Senior Year with the boys and girls -both fighting valiant- ly for their victories, spurred on by the cheers of the school and 'Captain Yvonne Guillemette's cheerleaders. Thanks to the business management of Louise Bonnette and her assistants, our pro- ject of card sales to raise funds for our class trip brought a substantial revenue. After a week of traveling and visiting the Nation's capital and metropolis, we were glad to be back home for the last months of our student lives at Notre Dame. But morning is here, and our reminiscing stops as voices call us to the present. Gradu- ation Day! Soon 37 students who have shared life and its experiences for four years will meet on 3, huge stage to say good-bye. Some will never meet again and though their lips will be silent, their hearts will join us all to say adieu. Adieu to our dear school, our pas- tor, our curates, teachers, and underclassmen. Parting is an undefinable feeling, one that other classes have experienced 'before us and will continue to experience. But in that feel- ing is found the simple words that express it all: We are grateful, and we will never' forget.

JUIIIUH CLHSS HISTURU September time and our third adventurous voyage on the sea of education was just begin- ning. It promised to be a big year with the reception of our class rings and the Tri-Hi Prom ahead of us. However, to sail our ship through stormy weather, class elections were held. The ballots were counted, making Arthur Marquis, presidentg Madeleine Hetu, vice-presi- dentg Joan Huard, secretaryg and James Martel, treasurer. Our Junior class boasts of many more officials. This year, the social committee consist- ed of Robert Guertin, Therese Lavallee, Lorraine Gamache and Madeleine Gregoire. The Elite Glee Club secured a few of its officers from among us, Juniors. They are Aline Despres, and Lucille Gendreau. The industrious CYC made a few of our classmates, oflicers. They took Ar- thur Marquis, Madeleine Hetu, and Elaine Col- lette. More elections followed. The worthy oflicers of the newly formed Science Club were elected. Kenneth Allard, Ronald Senecal, Jane Beausoleil, and James Martel became the leaders of Sigma Phi Alpha. Now that the tedious work of decisions was over, we were sailing along nicely but not with- out work to do. This year there were many activ- ities requiring class participation. The first to encounter was the essay contest on the life of Philippine Duchesne sponsored by the CYC. Bishop Wright's Declamation Contest being' just around the corner, Lucille Gendreau graciously accepted to represent us. Next encounter, the Voice of Democracy Contest, again brought out the author in us. Madeleine Hetu, the class Shakespeare, sailed up and took first honors. Time out for recreation and a little bit of excitement. The Junior boys did credit to the basketball teamg the cheerleaders had that school spirit to cheer the boys on to victory. Under the protection of Notre-Dame and through the guidance of Father Lamothe, Sr. Directrice, Sr. Madeleine-du-Divin-Coeur and Sr. Marie-de-Lourdes, our home-room teachers, our ship came into port safe and sound. We have enjoyed our year and are awaiting for our fourth and final voyage through high school.

SUPHUHHIHE CLHSS HISTURU The jolliest of the teenagers headed for Notre-Dame High on September 3, 1958, were none other than the used-to-be Freshmen, or better still, the new Sophomore group. Each one was at his best after a good summer vacation. One might have guessed rightly, judging by appearances that this coming school year was going to be just about as perfect as could be found this side of heaven. At least, everyone was ready and willing. A hearty welcome was given to our loyal and devoted teachers who faced us with a year of scholastic endeavors. We were pleased to find Louise Allard in our midst after a year's absence. Sandra Green was soon added to our number and to the merriment of all. We elected class officers in the persons of George Proulx, Presi- dent, Louise Allard, Vice-President, Diane Trahan, Secretary, and Alice Martin, Treasurer. We chose Pius X, Pope of frequent Holy Communion 'as our class patron, Effort Brings Success, as our class mottog red and white, our class colors, and the lily as class flower. Among the first activities of the year was an essay contest sponsored by the CYC in which Madeleine Blinn won first honors in the second group for our school. Her work was on Blessed Philip- pine Duchesne, Heart of Oak. In the following weeks many of us but it was Constance Berger's rendition of Le Cheveu par Z'abbe Sylvain which deserved highest praise. In the I Speak for Democracy contest we competed once again. Beatrice Daignault, Pauline Yvon and Nancy Langevin succeeded best in our class. The classical Sophomores proved themselves to be school Cham- pions in a magazine drive which had as its two-fold purpose the getting of good reading into the homes and obtaining funds for setting up the school cafeteria. Pauline Renaud was awarded a trophy of St. Francis de Sales for best salesmanship. Two other outstanding workers were Carol St. Onge and Nancy Langevin. 'The spirit of leadership, cooperation and good speech is stressed and developed along every line of our every day activities, but both classes especially enjoy the English Club Session held every Friday during the regular English period. The commercial group is headed by Pauline Gadoury as chairman, and helped by Constance Berger, Louise Roy and Therese Goulet. The classical group is headed by David Sevens as chairman and helped by Ruth Bonneville, Madeleine Blinn, and Alice Martin. Wednesday is the special day chosen to emphasize French. Our mother tongue is ours to have and to hold. We are indeed very fortun- ate to be able to improve and preserve a language which is as beauti- ful as it is helpful. Besides their class work most Sophomores participate in extra- curricular activities. On the CYC staff is Nancy Langevin, spiritual chairman 5 and David Stevens, historian. The Social Committee com- prises Richard Blais, chairman, Donald Richard, co-chairmang David Stevens, records, and Diane Trahan, chaperones. Our Glee Club officer is Raymond Jolie, master of ceremonies. Our basketball aces on the Boys' teams are Ronald Heve , and Robert Servant on the varsity, and David Stevens and RichardyBlais on the Junior Varsity. The Girls' varsity members are Diane Trahan, Judy Langlois, and Nancy Bachandg and Junior varsity members are Ruth. Bonneville, Pauline Lapierre, Constance Morin, Alice Martin, Pauline Lazure, Pauline Renaud, Suzanne Jalbert, and Beatrice Dalgnault. We think that Joyce Bouchard is just about the cutest and the best on the cheerleading squad. All. in all, as the year rolls by, the sophomores are always up and doing. There is time for action and there is time for serious thought. We do keep in mind what is meant by the sweetest word in the language which is LOVEQ the greatest which is GOD5 and the shortest which is NOW. Together they comprise our dearest and most noble duty: LOVE GOD NOW. Richard Blais ROW 1: Jo Anne Gauthier, Carmen Fafard. ROW 2: Olivia Anctil, Cheryl Pinel, Marie Seguin, Jeanne Chenier.

FHESHIUEII CLHSS HISTURU Vacations flew by, and before we knew it, there we were making our entrance to Notre Dame High in all our glory. One never saw such happy faces. Thus our firstgyear at Notre Dame High oilicially began. It did not take us long to get acquainted wi-th the new atmosphere. It was one of friendliness, and the personality and generosity of the students were very pleasing. Our teachers gave all their strength and devoted all their time to making this, one of our most memorable years. They were Sister Madeleine- de-Galilee, our home-room teacher, who taught us Religion and Englishg Sister Lucile-de-Jesus taught us historyg Sister Sainte-Hilda educated us in the fields of Latin and algebrag and' last but not least, Sister Sainte Rollande, who made us recognize the importance of French. Then came the day awaited by everyone except us Freshmen. Initiation! We had to dress up in the most ridiculous clothes, with lipstick and powder smothered on our faces, and any kind of perfume you can think of sprayed in our hair and all over. Our week of fun and frolic was followed by a dance for 'our benefit. Refreshments were served. In two of the cupcakes that we had, there was to be found a little pea. Who- ever found the peas would be the king and queen of the Freshman class. Much to our surprise, Robert Ouellette and Pauline Berthiaume were crowned. Once settled and organized, Sister Sainte Rollande started preparing all the students who wanted to compete in the declamation contest which was sched- uled in Worcester. I am very proud to announce that it was George Fournier, a Freshman, who won the .beautiful trophy given by His Excellency, Bishop Wright. After our debut, we'returned to the more normal routine followed by high school students. We elected our class officers who were RobertOuellette. Presidentg Richard Ouellette, Vice President: Lucille Huard, Treasurerg and Suzan Trudeau, Secretary. We worked hard during the year showing a really sincere scholastical spirit. Time-passes on. The dreams of a perfect year have come true. The Seniors graduated, the Juniors and Sophomores were elevated to a higher degree. And we the lowernclass of Freshmen received our hard-earned title of Sophomores We wish a hearty and sincere welcome to all future Freshmen. May God bless you all. -anna-g is .1 'S , '4 'Magi - ang na Sona E W 9 -x.. .. ...g b ., -+......,f.... .., .,...,... ,, .

It seems only yesterday that I was shar- ing a classroom with 36 others at good old NDH. Father time has been good to me, but I wonder how he has treated them? I think I'll take a vacation and find out. The first part of my snooping vacation starts at the airport Where I am welcomed aboard a huge jet-propulsioned plane by a charming stewardess who looks vaguely familiar. It takes a pleasant smile and a cheering word to bring back the memory of Ann-Marie Lariviere, the petite, fun-loving girl whose ambition was to travel. After her duties of the moment are cared for we chat, as any two girls will do, about ourselves and our activities. I discuss the patients I have cared for as a pediatrician and she tells me of her world travels. Diane Giroux, who wished to see Europe is amassing a fortune in Italy as the owner of a do-it-yourself Pizza stand. And Celine Lazure is traveling through Califorina as the nurse-companion to the ulcers of Donald Mandeville, now a prominent Navy man. It seems we have barely begun to talk when we set down at my first des- tination . . . Homesville. It is a large community composed of people who Wish to dedicate themselves to the most beautiful task in the world . . '. that of making a home for themselves and their children. President and founder of this pros- perous city is Rachel Picard. Her efficient, neat, sturdy but comfortable home is the model for many newly-Weds. Second in command is Dorothy Maynard, a good housewife, who, because of her maidenly charm and manners, is in charge of inspection. The mother of the den is Gloria Boucher, who lives with her 35 adopted children in the center of the metropolis. Gloria's home is always open to a child of any age. After spending a full day in this thriving community, I wrench myself away and speed to England. This is now the home of Louise Garceau. She is working here as an English teacher. Since Louise Was busy I dropped in on Robert Provost, an important man in the U. S. embassy. After many years of extensive training, Bob has now become a full-fledged U. S. fly boy. Yes, he is now the odi- fiy chasing boy in the U. S. embassy. By a strange coincidence, my schedule fits in perfectly with that of the Interplanetary Globe Trotters, a great team of basketball, football, and hockey experts from all over the solar system. Between halves I manage to interview coach Paul Cournoyer. I had to cut my visit short, however, when nurse Terese Jolie told me that Paul still hadn't completely recovered from a severe attack of moonitis, a disease he caught from over-exposure to the rays of the moon While bathing on the sun. My next flight leads me to Bombay where my guide takes me to the company of Le Rougissanti' President Donald Cournoyer welcomes me. Things weren't going right for Don that day. After years of work he had finally gotten his trans- atlantic bridge half-way only to meet Roger Bishop's bridge coming the other way. Well, that's life, boys! Next, I purchase a ticket for the town of Eggsville. It's a small town mayored by Albert Levesque and for the most part populated by chickens. Albert always did have an afiinity for eggs! The homes are magnificent down to the last piece of eggshell . . . from which, by the way, they are made. Designer Norman Lafrenais connived the idea for these homes. It was always his firm belief that the chicks of this country should have the best. Careersville is my last stop-over. I am met at the airdrome by Rachel Beaudry, the town's counselor. It is through her advice that the town is in the shape it's in. Her secretary, Louise Peloquin, who also substitutes as her chauffeur. drives us around the city in a car purchased at Pauline Desmarais' Used-New Car Lot. Around, did I say? I mean through the city. Louise always was wicked on- those corners. 42 I UGHHPHU After a short rest at my hotel, I drop in on Donald Forcier. I didn't have much choice. He had forgotten to close his manhole. He is in charge of the under- ground lighting system and is thus fulfilling his heart's desire. He is a work watcher. All day long he sits and watches gauges to see if everything is work- ing properly. As I glance at the town clock, I realize that it is time for the Carol Macuga Success Review. Carol's job is presenting successful people and telling their success stories. Tonight's guest star is Armand Trahan, a commercial artist. Armand's commercials are the most popular on television today. After the show I paid a visit to the sound stage where Rose Marie Morneau is using her artistic talents to direct Gerard Caplette in his latest movie, Gigi. At closing time, I crossed the street to visit Richard Cournoyer. Dickie is a famous printer. His pictures are seen everywhere. This couldn't sway the Sheriff, however, who insisted that there weren't any visiting hours after 6 P.M. While passing the doorway of the Hall of Infame, my curiosity impels me to get a closer look. The first room is entitled: The Housewife. Lorraine Goulet, now beautifully preserved in wax, is notorious as the wife of Mr. House. The next room is called: The Speed Typist. Doris Lippe, once a quiet girl, is now forever enthroned as the type who speeds just -because she got killed doing 300 m.p.h. in her new roadster. I almost collapse as I pass the room marked: Teacher. There stands Marguerite Giguere. I thought that she was a college professor down south. A closer inspection, however, proves my first idea correct. Marge is now immortalized because of her famous words uttered when she was asked to help a group of young children: you teach 'er. The vocation room sends me outside for fresh air. I would never have believed it. Carol Young, a C.C.D. teacher? Who would have suspected Carol as a card, crap, and dice sharp? My medical training gets a twang as I come in sight of a beautiful, entirely new and modern Feeling ill, wait till you get our bill hospital. Jacqueline Gaulin, now an efficient nurse-receptionist, greets me at the door and speeds me into a compact doctor's oiiice. Sandra Miller is sitting there . . . taking notes, of course. What else would a competent medical secretary be doing? After explaining my presence, I'm granted a visitor's pass and with it tightly clutched in my hand I head for the la-boratory and a visit with Lab Technician, Yvonne Guillemette. Her schedule is full so without ado I vanish toward room 212. Here everything is silent as Father Roland Gamache ad- ministers the last rites to Germaine Bergeron. Doctors have given up all hope for Germaine. She persists in thinking that she is the secretary for the man in the moon when the famous scientist, Professor Snewton, proved that the moon is inhabited by a woman. A sad case, findeed! But even the best of things must come to an end. So, with a weary sigh, I pack up for the long trip home. No vacation is worth-while unless you bring home a souvenir, so I drop in at Ann Marie O'Neil's Hair Styling Sallon. Ann has a way of massaging your scalp that makes all your tensions vanish. And her assistant, Gloria Craite! Her superduper cake iioats are the best in the world. So with my head in a cloud of dreams, I head toward home. It was fun reviewing memories and collecting new ones, but I don't think I can go through it again . . . at least, not for another 20 years. But then, with the wonderful arrangements Bookie Louise Bonnette makes, you never can tell. It's a big decision! Us if X ff! 52' jig! ,fi i 'f '!'

Being han- dicapped with a very heightless team didn't stop the coach's Fiery Spirit . He just took what he had and made one of the best ball clubs in the history of Notre Dame High. We again this year owe gratitude to our athletic directors here at Notre Dame High, Rev- erend Paul Choquette and Reverend Claude La- mothe, who have taken an outstanding part in the development of sports at Notre Dame. We, above all, must not forget our sports committee, Mr. Roland Levesque, Mr. Raymond St. Jean, Gerard Ravenelle, Mr. Leon Servant, and especially Mr. Norman Cournoyer. We are grateful for the sup- port these devoted' people have given to the Notre Dame Teddy Bears.
