C'est la plus belle oeuvre fran- coumericaine de Pall River, dit-il, et le devoir de tout catholique et de tout patriote est de la soutenir et de l'encourager. Pour mieux faire connaitrelecole, son but, son programme, ses avanlaqes et en vue d'etab1ir plus d'interet entre les eleves, le Frere Iacques inauqura notre mensuel Le Prevosf' auquel il consacra ses soins et ses loisirs. Anime des directives de 'l'action catholique, il nous inculqua l'amour de l'Eqlise, cles mis- sfonnaires, des personries de bien, le gout des lectures serieuses et spirituelles, le desir d'ai- der le prochain soit au point de vue materiel, soit au point de vue moral. Reverend lfrcrc ANSELME Une annee scolaire avec le Fi-ere Anselme. c'est une experience inoubliable. Sa legon de lrangctis, nous l'avons iuqee notre favorite dans le proqramme. Il profita des evenements actuels, des divers incidents de la vie quotidienne, de la conduite qenerale des hommes pour offrir E1 nos re- flexions des remarques pleines de sens et de saqesse et pour nous presenter dans un panorama synthetique les actes des humains et les causes et les consequences de ces actes. La justice et Yhonnetete etaient souvent les suiets cle ses entretiens familiers avec nous. Le Frere Anselme se devoua avec zele aux interets de l'ecole Prevcst. Notre mensuel, nos jeux, nos concours oratoires beneiicierent de son enthousiasme et de ses talents. A nos deux vaillants eclucateurs, il nous fait plaisir d'exprimer la reconnaissance qui s'e- leve naturellement cle nos coeurs et de les assurer, at la veille de notre depart, que leurs enseignements ne seront pas steriles en nous.

Sold to the American Tobacco Company. The twentieth reunion of the Class of '38 is to occur next week, So while waiting for the boys to get in town, I observed many changes in the part of tl1e city of Fall River which was formerly called the Flint. Prevost High is now one of the biggest High Schools in this section of the country. Even the famous Rolling Rock has lost value with the growing fame of that Catholic Institution. I was wandering aimlessly about the streets when suddenly the cry 1 MPAPER! EXTRA! rang in my ears. A newsboy advanced toward me. Paper, Mister? - Yes , I obliged. I then began to peruse the paper. The head- lines read: Roland tj. P. Morgan, Chabot After Second Million . VVith awakened interest I scrutinized the story that followed. It told that it all began when Mr. Roland Chabot was at Robert LETOURN EAU Prevost and won a certain iifty bucks' raffle. Goes to show that every particle helps. A caption on the front page revealed 1 Cop Catches King Hobo . I looked closely at the picture and I observed a resemblance to some mug who shared schooling with me. The few lines below the picture stated that Lieutenant Rudy Lepage of the Homicide Squad had made the spectacular arrest of Public Hobo No 1, Normand Hamel, who was charged with tipping his hat at a railroad conductor, which according to the rules of The Hobo Society is a grave offence, subject to one-hundred years in jug. I also saw on the front page the wording : FLYER FINDS l'lERMlT . The sub-title commented : Cote, Noted Flyer, Finds Lonesome Hermit On Hawaian Isles . The story wasrall about Gerard Cote who was stranded on the I-Iawaian Island in an attempt to ily the W'orld Non-stop. I-le had left New York, zoomed across the Atlantic. Europe and Asia but was forced down at Hawaii for motor trouble. On the Island he met one of his class mates, Reginald Durand, who was doing some dry-cleaning for the Islawaians. Regie's claim was that their wash is much smalier than that of the average American. So nmch for front page news. Nonchalantly I turned pages until my eyes were captivated by the picture of a horse. M y sub-conscious imme- diately reminded me that this was the sports page. Beneath the picture I beheld a title printed in bold type 1 lVu Fang lYius Santa Anita l'Iandicap . 'lihe story that followed related that Win Fang, a Chestnut horse owned by Raymond Roux had roinped home in the SF 100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in quite an easy fashion. This prize animal had also been selected the racer of the year according to many horse handieappers. Good work, Fang. Be.ow that write-up was tl heavy lettering that ran thus : Local Sportsman Shoots Biggest Rabbit of Season . The hunter was Roland St- Amand who claims that placing his trust in his faithful shot-gun, his fear is greatly diminished. The following page was the editorial. The left top column of the page supported the staff of the paper among whom outstood the name of Marcel Boyer, General Manager ot' Publication Depart- ment. 98- 1 Lli PRIEVOST The pages that followed were advertisement but somehow they appeared attractive. One of the ads was this : If you cannot see further than your nose SEE Maurice Clement, Optician, in his new ottice, Granite Block Spa, opposite Dentist Brodeur's othcen. Speaking of Edgar Brodeur this molar extractor has made a collection of all the teeth he has pulled and his collection is now in exhibition in the Wrigley Building. Follr tring those ads was this one : VVhy suffer living death. when Dr. Edward Peloquinys new dark pills makes the living death vanish and only eaves you with the dead death . Marvelous boy, that Pollock! My eyes begged for rest, so I put away the journal and observed the pedestrians brushing up and down the streets. Suddenly I recognized an unconcerned hespectacled man as Raymond Thi- bault. He accidentally bumped into me and un- consciously stamped an HARMOUR O.K. on my arm. I clidn't have to guess twice that he was now a meat inspector and was making it a business to stamp any kind of meat for money. I walked up the street a little. There I beheld a group of tiremen playing checkers. Suddenly one of them rose and greeted me. And I re- cognized our good pal Maurice Gaudreau. I had about started a conversation on old times and things when the fire bell rang. Fast Freight leaped from his chair and sprinted to the truck. This surprised me a great deal but when he asked me if I had done my homework and if so to let it on my desk before leaving, I knew that he was the same old Gaudreau. The day of the reunion had tinally come and so I hastened to Prevost School Reception Hall to meet the former chums. The first fellows I met were the Roussin Twins. Romeo approached and identified himself as a reporter for the local Daily Tribune. 1-Ie asked me if I had a word for the press. I obliged. He then turned around and introduced Father VVilfrid Roussin to whom l offered congratulations and compliments. But the Roussin twins were busy. VVhat reporter is not busy, and Father Roussin had to swing in tune with Romeo. So I moved to a secluded spot in the assembly hall in order to find my bearings. From my point of vantage, I could spy the janitor of the building coming around for an inspection of the premises. On finding some loose nail, the consciencious LE PREVOST janitor began to bang at it with a red-hot burst of manly puissance making all the while the loudest din I ever heard. I protested to his racket, but he turned around with a jerk and showed me a typical Arthur Levesque : I decided that I might as well leave him alone. Another runipus was heard, this time in the hallway. The door swung open and two Well dressed individuals entered. As I could hear from gossips it was Julien Gamache and Paul Laiorest. From things I have read in the paper, Gammy is now a well known politician in Washington, and was taken to Fall River by Paul who was thus showing his gratitude to the one who got his license back for him. A hush was detected in the crowd, and upon the stage rose the man who had just been introduced as the greatest lawyer in this country, Master Rodolphe Bourgeois. His speech Howed as follows : Friends, tofday, the strife to undermine the surrepticious doctrine of the Communitz. . . Vifow, thought I, that's Pancake all right. Two men were seen speaking to each other. And as I overheard them I could judge that they were talking shop. One apparently was a mechanic and the other an engineer. It seemed that the engineer upon forgetting his principle of expan- sion and contraction of metals had not put some rocking post on a bridge that spanned the Atlantic Ocean. That forgetful engineer was none other than Bernard Levesque, and the hot arguing mechanic. Albert Dudand. The following announcement was made by our millionaire chairman, Roland Chabot : We are unable to have with ns tonight Roland Cardin, because his wife insisted on going to the show to see that great actor, Eugene Dion, playing the part of a schoolmaster in the big picture of the year : Teacher Makes A Mistake . By the way, Gene is very busy in Ilollywood at the present time. Speaking of Kip, well, he has to stay home and mind the little Cardins. But our two absent friends sent us telegrams of congratulations and wishes of a happy gathering... and, well... let's go some place where we can play Poker peacefully... So we adjourned and went to play Poker. . . flntlmr : Master Wu FANG. Rcrfictrlrr' : 44Nornw NlTXX'lT. lViIm'.t.r1r.r: I. C. U. NVell, Phil M. Upp, R. U. Daffec, I. M. Nutts, Wee R. Cracked, N. Y.

Provost High School, having now about reached the very sad end of our scholastic studies at the said Institution, and having undoubtedly grown in mature mental capacity and talent, and while in the full possession of our wits and faculties, this Sth day of April A. D. 1938, do make this, ottr lirst and last and only one will, which, in the care ot Public Notary Donald Duck, will bc published in its due time and place. All our belongings, material or artificial, profit or debt bearing, assets and liabilities, we do forthwith devise and bequeath as follows : To the venerable Pastor of Notre-Dame parish we leave our sincere and hearty feelings of thankfulness and the promise that we shall do our very best ever to contribute to the progress and glory of our Alma Mater, To the members of the facility whose angelic patience we have often tried but whose services have greatly benc- fited us, we leave loads of thanks but keep the privilege out of gratitude and appreciation of paying them numerous visits in the future. To the Second class of Seniors at Provost High, we leave our responsibilities and the sacred duty of being the model, diligent and unsophisticated Senior Class of 1939. lVe also bestow on them the pleasant tasks of preparing Le Prevost monthly for the press, of conducting High School meetings, of practising oratory and writing, of publishing the 1939 Yearbook and in general, of promoting all organizations for the prosperity and welfare of the school. To the Sophomores, we give the advice of being more modest about their tsophiar: besides we give them the right to drop Latin and the duty of using the Shorthand and Geometry books of the higher class in a most satis- factory manner. To the lowly Freshics who are about to emerge from their humble conditions, we leave thu permission to make a clean up in our desks on Jtuie 16th and carry all odds of looseleaf filler, pads, paper scrap, pencils, pens and ink bottles to use in the course of their long years of High School.

Sweet things oi the past! As we scan the events oi this dying school year, we iirst open the actual volume oi our life with page September 8th., l937 . That particular date did not exactly mark an event for the world to record in its annals but for the students of the Msgr. Prevost High School it was a real event --e the renewing of old iriendships and the making oi new ones, - the dignified students oi the higher class beginning their everlasting stories with Do you remember when ..,, ? - the bedlam ot yells and shouts when new students tried to make themselves heard over the noisy atmosphere: - that moment of tense silence when the everyday bell rang for the open- iriq session: -- the new teachers: - the many studies! - Aye! All' this, we remembern.. ln our tirst year at Prevost, we learned about discipline and its place in a school, about religion and its place in life. We learned many other 106 Francuqur.

Georges Fnille was absent things but specially how green we, Freshmen, really were. ln our second year, school lite took on another aspect, we became more serious, we settled down to real studies. During this present year, with the masterful help of Reverend Brother Anselme, we have been told how to choose our vocation and how to work to at- tain our goal. So, now, we look with awe and re- verence upon the time when, like our comrades ol the Senior class, we also shall become graduates. Our hopes? Our wishes? Well . .. we hope to be here again next year. .. in a higher grade though, let's say. .. in the graduating class. We hope to be a credit to our school, our teachers and ourselves in later life. We wish that our iriends and our school prosper in the future and that the education and religious training provided us at Msgr. Prevost High be never forgotten. So, fare you all Well till September 7th., 1938.

The pursuit of know- ledge has been arduous but perseverinq, and now the palm of victory is ours. We have succeeded in making the year 37-38 a pleasant, interesting and eventful one. The more we picture the past ten months. the more we agree that this year has been one of strenuous work and successful efforts. The ordinary course of studies furnished many items to the curiosity ot our minds. We lived in turns with the superstitious Egyptians and the powerful Romans: we even dared to unravel the dear old dialect of Caesar and Cicero: we ventured to China in the Far East where we admired the wonderful work of the Chin Dynasty. Brother .Anselme contributed to our scientific knowledge with a clever sketch very useful tor an easy understanding of mathematics. And LE PREVOST talk of the French periodl We obtained there the climax of interest: We are now good friends to Racine, Corneille, Massillon, Bossuet and many other qreat minds who have honored sa maieste la langue frcmgaiseu. We also developed in sports more than ever. To our great surprise Herve Lavoie has greatly im- proved in baseball. Gerard LePage, Rock Vade- boncoeur and Clarence McCarthy were considered good material for the Varsity Baseball Team. Upon nearing the second landmark on our hiqh school ascent, we are not ashamed to exhibit the work thus far accomplished. Moreover this year will be inscribed in gold upon our hearts as a sweet and happy remembrance. To the seniors of the day we extend congra- tulations and best wishes of future success.

This gentle group of good-looking students is composed of graduates from different parochial schools of Fall River and Ocean Grove. Notre Dame has the largest representation with Ste- Anne corninq second. Last September as a little crowd of inexperi- enced Freshmen, we embarked on a puzzling cruise through the different subjects oi a high- school course. At the very start, Alfred Valcourt took the lead with a strong margin and has never allowed any one else to supplant him. Raymond Raiche and Raymond Berube kept struggling for the second place with Herve Lemaire close to their heels. Besides scholarship attainments, we can boast oi having drawn the attention oi both sport fans and music lovers. 108 Raymond Ouellette, regular shortstop, and Hen- ri Rousseau, powerful sluqqer, have won the cheers ot thrilled crowds, while Maurice Godbout, our slap bass player, and Alban Chouinard, first- rate drummer have attracted the attention of ap- plauding audiences. The spiritual atmosphere in which we live has iavored the sprouting of two religious vocations: during our Easter Vacations, Normand Fisette and Herve Lemaire, both from Ste-Anne, left us to study for the brotherhood. Pray for us, Normand and Hervey ask for your former classmates God's graces that we may ever remain pleasinq to Him through our high-school years and later in life. i LE PREVOST 1 Q 4, a.

We felt a bit nervous as We gathered in the schoolyard on that sweet noon of September Bth., 1937. Oldtimers and newcomers were constantly pouring on the school grounds. At last we were grouped into one swell bunch labeled Freshman B. lt took us but a week or so to get fully ac- quainted. Our teachers' careful guidance and our companions' wit and humor soon led us to think that a pleasant year was in store for us. We have not been deceived .... We began the work of the year in earnest. laying the foundations of a sound and efficient academic training under the direction of three zealous teachers, the Reve- rend Brother Principal and our home-room teach- ers, Brothers Patrice and Iulien. Normand Bembe, Roger Chagnon and Leo Boulanqer maintained a remarkably high standing in their class work. LE PREVOST The secretarial duties were shared by Ernest Guerette cmd Roland Chouinard. Different parishes from this city and Swansea are represented in our class, with Notre-Dame and Blessed Sacrament leading. i Though our class does its share in the athletic as well as in the artistic field, we cannot claim to have achieved any spectacular results in either. The best description of Freshman B can be summed up in these few words : oz group of eager, ambitious. wide-awake young men who noiseless- ly creep up the ladder of fame in an atmosphere of friendly comradeship and class spirit. We all hope to he back at Prevost next Sep- tember. The foundation is good: with grin deter- mination we intend to carry our work to the goal of success, .I 109 l ,J if ?, .,,L- OUR BASEBALL SQUAD Kneeling: Clarence McCarthy, Roch Vadeboncfeur, Vanie Marcoux, Gerard Lepage, Raymond Ouellette, Julien Gamache, Hugo Picard.

The only otiieial sport so far recognized by Prevost is always greeted with zest by the whole student body and more particularly by a fair number of ambitious candidates. In fact, it is the sport most enthusiastically cherished by the sportsmen at Prevost High. T he early Spring sunshine witnesses the sud- den appearance of bats, balls and gloves in the hands of jolly young folks, and Lafayette Park becomes the scene of many a stiff and lmrdfought contest. 110 X l Patriots' Day never goes by without its regular afternoon ball game. Then, in early May, League games come rapidly on the schedule to help the boys pass agreeably the last two months of the school year. And thus, with cheers and songs rending the air, the Prevost Boys carry on, ever onward for the renown and fame of their White and Blue!
