Commencement Speaker. A little revision of a certain line about Wash- ington would just about Er Gerard: First in school spirit, first in scholastics, and first in the hearts of his classmates. We've never had another Washington, and we doubt if the Prevost High School will ever have another Gerard Lafond. His magnetic personality has made him one of our most prominent students. His studious and energetic disposition won the respect and admira- tion of his teachers and fellow classmates. He is still uncertain of the future, but whatever Gerard does will surely be a credit to him and to his Alma Mater. HENR1 HAMEI., 77 Trapp Class President 3, Class Vice-President 4. If you are looking for a level-headed, appeal- ing person, step closer, folks, and allow us to in- troduce you to the one and only Henri Hamel. Possessing a splendid personality, he is a good mixer, always happy and smiling. It is with much reluctance that we bid adieu to a student endowed with such an abundance of school spirit as Henri. Au revoir, friend, the road to success is steep but you have the grit to reach the Summit. 9 Page ll 'C R ROGER BOISVERT, 75 Broad In September 1936, the Prevost High School opened its doors to welcome Roger Boisvert. Since then, he has been a loyal and faithful student of this institution. He never macle any claims to being :A second Einstein, but he managed to hold his ground in scholastics. As he leaves us, now, to go into the greater school of life, he knows that it is with the best wishes for success from all his companions. ROLAND CARRIER, 104 Quequechan Orchestra 1, 2, 35 Concert Master 4. Roland has a place of his own in our esteem. He is a typical, kind-hearted artist. Needless to say that his fiddle accomplishments are our pride and glory. He is very gentle and is an advocate of peace at any cost. His ideal being lodged high, his virtue tried, he will no doubt cover himself with fame. We shall miss him but shall be consoled in the idea that he will carry on, out in the rough world. 9 Page 12 ROGER DUFOUR 60 Murray Class Secretary 33 Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Roger is an earnest lover of music and his great -aptitude for piano is bound to prove an asset all through his life. He has been a student of the finest calibre and in the classroom few could surpass him. Held in the greatest esteem, loved by everyone as a friend loyal and true, a man of few words and great potentialities, he is prepared to scale the heights. WILFRID DUPUIS, 1267 Davol Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Quiet and unobtrusive, never boisterous and yet always with a smile and a word of greeting, that is all in accordance with our classmate Wil- frid Dupuis. During his four years at Prevost he has been a model student, thoughtful, con- servative, unafraid of hard work and always de- pendable. To a fine fellow and a good friend we bid Godspeed and farewell! GEORGES FAILLE, 196 jencks Glee Club 3, 4: Dramatics 43 Commencement Speaker. As a student Georges has grit and mental abil ' ity. He is always ready to give advice and words of encouragement to a schoolmate. Often we have wondered at his outspokenness and at the candid manner in which he gives his opinions We are proud of you, Georges, and we have the firm conviction that success is awaiting you if wherever you turn your footsteps. ROBERT FISETTE, 429 So. Beach Class Secretary 49 Dramatics 4g Baseball 3, 43 Commencement Speaker. This young man who entered our midst two years ago has, beyond doubt, become an important member of our class. His disposition, the cheeri- est, his wit, the sharpestg his intellect, one of the cleverest. Though he is not among the most studious, his grades have all been very satisfac- tory. After all, does he not claim the distinction of being the Benlamin of the class and will not wrinkles and gray hairs appear but ton quickly? ' Page 13 OSCAR FONTAINE, 12 Roper With pride and admiration we present Oscar Fontaine, one of the finest students Prevost High School has produced since its foundation. Oscar is a quiet fellow who has earned the esteem of his fellow students because of his scholarly na- ture. In and out of class he is a firm believer in the motto Silence is golden . May his name be ever identified with the movements that are for higher and better things. PAUL GIROUX, 78 Melville Class Treasurer 33 Dramatics 4. Glee Club 2, Camera Club 4. Paul shines not because of his wealth of red hair, but rather because of his ingenuity and pleasant personality. A fluent speaker and a good strategist, he has succeeded more than once in talking his way out of a tight situation. You will be missed by all who knew you at the Prevost High School, and were benefited by your unfailing optimism. 0 Page I4 FERNAND GUAY, 4 Murray Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Dramatics 4. During the past four years the walls of the Prevost High School have echoed and re-echoed with Fernand's gay laughter. When one is gloomy it takes Fernand to cheer him up. A welcome guest in every gathering, in and out of the school, he literally radiates sunshine wherever he treads. Well, Fernand, the world needs steady, honest workers. You are one of them. May your fu- ture be as bright as the past has been enjoyable. EUGENE HAMEL, 212 Eagle Eugene, because of shyness and rather taci- turn disposition, is to-day as much an enigma to most of us as when he enrolled four years ago. He says little but accomplishes much. In his studies he has struggled on with steady deter- mination and unyielding courage. The class of '40 is not a bit worried about Eugene's future. We know he'll manage to smile his way through somehow. RAYMOND GUAY 4 Murray Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Orchestra 4, Camera Club 4. RAYMOND LABBE, 75 Walker Glee Club 2, 3. Raymond is a congenial individual, one among thousands to force his way into the hearts of others, at first sight. He is our idea of the pet- fect gentleman at all times: tall, dignified and gracious, that's Raymond. He is a happy-go- lucky lad, as we all have discovered, and doubt- less will not let the cares of the business world weigh too heavily on his shoulders. May his beaming mile brighten every mile of the road he has to travel. Raymond is one of the quiet supporters of the Ptevost High School, but none the less a staunch one. In studies, he performed admirably. Be- sides his intellectual attainments he is a thorough- ly enjoyable companion and possesses all the traits that win esteem and friendship. With the best wishes for a successful future we bid him farewell. - Page is . A candid smile, a fine disposition, a will to win-all three spell Robert and these need no elaboration . . . Cheerful of manner, tranquil by temperament, free from all worry, Robert has al- ways been considered the all-around good fellow. It is not easy to say adieu to such a worthy and likable comrade. We feel sure that his winning personality and studious habits will bring him to the top rung in the ladder of success. 1 Page is ROBERT LAROCQUE, 160 Reney Glee Club 2, 3, 4. RENE LAJOIE, 173 Mason Glee Club 3, 4. Nine years ago Rene made his first appearance at Prevost. He was only a small boy in knickers then but time has wrought quite a change. Rene has since grown into a young man of dignified mien. However he is still smiling-and, inci- dentally, now wears trousers . . . When Rene leaves the Prevost High School we shall all feel that we have lost a very dear friend to whom we sey, May God bless all your endeavors. HERVE LAVOIE, 207 Leonard Glee Club 2, 3, 43 Dramatics 4. Herve came from St-Mathieuis School four years ago and during this time he has become truly one of Prevost High School's best. A good student, a polished gentleman, a lovable com- panion, such is Herve. He is serious and con- scientious in his work. One cannot help but be impressed by his unfailing good nature. I-Ie has enough of it for two ordinary fellows. Positively we're sorry to part with Herve. GERARD LEPAGE, 937 Globe Baseball 2, 3, 4. Here is one of our most versatile young men. He is a fine student, a good athlete and a jolly companion. Gerard is a veritable power house of activity and one cannot put limits to the worlds this young man may conquer in the years to come. Our parting wish for Gerard is that, in whatever field he may continue, the cup of success be filled for him to overflowing. MAURICE LEVASSEUR, 162 Jenclis Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Maurice says: One step at a time but always forwardn. All of us certainly praise his ambition. I-le wants to get somewhere in life and with such noticeable aspirations our predictions are that he will surely obtain a position worthy of his talents. Indeed he should succeed in this world because he has both brain and brawn to help him accom- plish his encl. So lung and good luck, Maurice FERNAND LIZOTTE, 921 North Main Glee Club 25 Camera Club 4. Fernancl is a hard-working fellow with a re- markable personality. Now at the close of his high school course, he can look back with satis- faction over four well-filled years, replete with the joy of duty well done. Good-bye, Fernandg you helped mal-te our stay at the Prevost High School a pleasant one and we wish you all the success and happiness in the world. 1 Page 17 CLARENCE MCCARTHY, 140 McGowan Baseball 2, 3, 4. Clarence is somewhat the mystery man of the class. Behind the maslc of an apparent indiffer- ent expression there lurks a keen and alert in- rellect. Success to you, Clarence, and remember that Life is a see-saw game at best, And whether you're up or down Do your duty and don't forget 'Tis better to laugh than to frown. 0 Page is NORMAND LIZOTTE, 161 Duluth Baseball 3, 4. Normand possesses a winning smile and a ine, smooth, good nature. In athletics, he distinguish- ed himself on the diamond, while in class com- petition he was always A thorn in the opponent's side. He has the rare ability of combining both athletics and studies-doing justice to both. Good luck, Normand. May your life be ever crowned with successful ventures. ALBERT MILOTTE, 723 Middle Camera Club 4. A calm, unobtrusive student is our Albert. Positively he is one of the most reserved of our lively senior class. His ardor in the pursuit of knowledge knew no flagging, no spring fevers, no blue Mondays. We entertain no doubt of Albert's success, for we know that he will keep up that spirit of constancy which brings in its train new triumphs. LIONEL THIBOUTOT, 334 Vale Says he: Oh, Sleep, 'tis a gentle thing Beloved from pole to pole. Lionel migrated from St. Ann,s School four years ago and from the very first day found him- self quite at home in his new surroundings and. with his new companions. Gifted with an uncom- mon stock of earnestness, he does well everything he attempts, and is not dismayed by difficulties nor downcast by failure. Au revoir and God- speed, Lionel. JACQUES ROQUE, 1846 South Main Glee Club 3, 43 Dramatics 43 Commencement Speaker. He says: There is something finer than ability and that is the ability to recognize ability . jacques is one of those fellows you cannot help liking, His frank, open smile, his happy-go- lucky countenance, and the cordiality of his greeting have won for him a host of friends and admirers. May good fortune walk hand in hand with him in the battle of life. ALBERT RAYMOND, 165 Nashua Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Typist for Le Prevostn. The spotlight now rests on a debonair member of our class, Ladies and gentlemen, we intro- duce Albert Raymond. He is a young man of high ideals and upright integrity. He leaves with us pleasant memories of kindness and affa- bility. The whole Senior Class extends to him the wish that he may have a very happy and suc- cessful future. 9 Page 19 Au Revoir A tous les finissants, l'Alma Mater oifre ses meilleurs souhaits cle succes et de bonheur.

Frequently, we have found the road to be very difficult, but, endowed with a true spirit of grit, we came to the conclusion that these obstacles could he overcome without much difficulty. First we wish to thank our teachers: Brother Alix, Brother Florien, Brother Leo and Brother Patrice, for the aid they gave us in our victorious battle with Physics, Geometry, Latin and other perplexing subjects. Now that the year is finished we realize that the daily recitations and nightly homeworks were all nec- essary. We are well prepared for our Senior year. Next year it will be our duty to uphold the honor of the Prevost High School. Each and every one of us having a goal in sight shall unite that we may even sur- pass its records . . . In concluding, we wish to grasp this opportunity to congratulate the members of the Graduating Class who have attained an enviable record during their four years at the Prevost High School.

It seems hut yesterday that we were graduating from Grammar School, but it seems a long to-morrow until we will graduate from High School. On n sunny morning, last September, a group of alert students gathered at the Prevost High School to throw off the yoke of Freshmanship. Most of the faces were familiar, yet some were strange. Now. however, no countenance within our classroom could he deemed strange . . . We smiled, not knowing the hardships that lay ahead. We knew nothing of Intermediate Algebra, Modem History, but we were willing to learn. Classes were organized: elections were held, and the following were chosen to pilot the class ship over the treacherous, yet beguiling waters of the coming year: Gerard Clermont .. . Presidcnl Gerard Dufour . ..., .,,, . l'ir'v-l':'vsidcnt Roger Caron .... SPcr1'I1l1'y As all good things come to an end-and wc do mean good-so too, has this joyful year. Some of us have been very successful, others less, but whatever happy results have crowned our poor efforts we owe to our teachers: Brother Alix, Brother Patrice, Brother Florien, Brother Leo and Brother Alexis. To them, honor and gratitude. I Page zs The Freshman Class fsection AJ Front row : Second row: T11 ini raw: Back row z 0 Page Normand Durette, Adelarcl Soucy, David Talbot, Rev.

We also wish to express our sincere thanks to the faculty for their efforts to hasten our pace on the flowery path of knowledge. Individually they are: Brother Leopold, our class moderatorg Brother Patrice who worked very hard with us in Ancient Historyg and Brother Alexis who grounded us in Algebra and Latin. Some say the first year is the hardest because of the change from Grammar School to High School and the difference in curriculum, but we were greatly helped by the way the Reverend Brothers taught us and we soon got right into the swing of things. The transition was not really as hard as we had anticipated. The new subjects opened new horizons of intellectual development and their novelty lured our interest from the start.

Z8 .X The Freshmen of Section B Last September, a group of boys lined up in the school yard on that all im- portant day, our first in the Prevost High School. If you had chanced to observe these newcomers you would have noted their gravity and wondered. They might have even looked timid and somewhat nervous. But that was last September. A year has passed since then, a year that will live long in our memories. The solemne ity wore off very rapidly once we became acquainted with our new surroundings. We left our elementary studies behind and were introduced to many new subjects with bewildering celerity, in fact, so swiftly that some of us were swept off their feet and found themselves with rather poor marks at the end of the first term. However, as the year progressed we steadied ourselves, confidence was restored and everything began to look brighter. Here, let us offer a vote of thanks to our teachers: Brother Alexis. Brother Leopold and Brother Patrice. If it were not for their patient and persevering guidance many of us would still be wonder- ing what our studies are all about. In a way, of course, we are happy to have completed this, our first step up the ladder of higher learning, but for the pleasant memories and happy times we have known, there is regret in the passing of our freshman year.

P. 0 Page sz A Trip to Maine With a roaring of motors, five cars containing the Msgr. Prevost High School Orchestra and the winners of the year-book sale contest, sped up Eastem Ave., on June Zlst at 7220 a.m.-destination, the Pine Tree State. The trip to Biddeford was marvelous. the swiftly passing landscape always opening new vistas of scenic wonders to our avid eyes. However, as Bro. Alix said: Every rose has thorns ,-we had just entered Commonwealth Ave., next to the Charles River in Boston, when, surprised by an unexpected sharp turn, our car crashed into the back of our accompanying car. The coolness of our drivers, employees of the Cozy Cab Co., of Fall River, pre- vented a more serious accident. As it was, a scratched bumper and a pushed-in mudguard were the only results of the incident. Our intrepid chauffeurs, after a look-see, continued onwards, unruffled by it all. Arriving at Everett, Mass., we stopped for something to eat,-as yet, we felt no fatigue. only a sort of exhilaration at the swift pace we had travelled. At 11:20 a.m. we arrived at Biddeford, not a bad pace-4 hours for 150 miles! We were enthusiastically received by Bro. Marcel, ex-principal of Prevost. Four cars showed up and we impatiently awaited Berger's car until, at the insistence of Bro. Marcel and our stomachs we sat down to partake of a sumptuous meal. After the dinner, still no Berger, so our hospitable host took us to see St. Louis School, -his school now. A very attractive institution we found it, fully equipped and neat as a pin.-Still we saw no Berger, so we proceeded to Alfred, and to Notre Dame Institute, the mother house and the training school of the Brothers of Christian Instruction in this country. There we were also received with open arms and with great hospitality. We inspected part of the huge farm of 350 acres. Orchards and fields were everywhere we looked, domestic animals were scattered in profusion also. We even saw a cow that gave 97 pounds of milk a day! It's a very nice place. -Ah, and here came friend Berger's car, limping down the highway like a wounded duck. Two of the tires had burst,-one had split right open, tire and all, and a third tire was just about ready to explode with the heat of friction. Immediately upon the arrival of the rest of the orchestra in the black- sheep car we hastened to give a concert for the Brothers and Juvenists. The day was surprisingly warm for Maine and so, after the concert, we hastened to don our bathing suits for a swim in the nearby lake. Needless to say, we had a grand time, for many, it was the first swim of the season and a nice one at that. After- wards, there, on the shore beneath the trees, we sat down to another lunch. Yours truly couldn't stand under the different and many culinary masterpieces offered and partaken of, and, added to the exertion of a swim, the heat of the day, and the fatigue of travel, I succumbed to what sailors call mal de mer . After a few minutes of hanging over the rail , so to speak, I felt much better and able to start and enjoy our return trip. First however, we returned to Biddeford where Corporal Armand Chabot, U. S. Army, graduate of the school, and our honored guest on the trip, took a bus for Portland. ' Page 33 Well, that's about all I think. The only thing we want to mention is that we left Alfred at 7:30 p.m. and I reached Fall River, at Z a.m. after lengthy stops on the way. Again, our thanks to the Brothers of Christian Instruction and to all those who made such a wonderful trip possible and successful. Plrilippc Dl'SL'iI!3Jl8S, '3.9.

The mysteries of Geometry and Algebra, the trials of Latin and other subjects hadn't as yet entered our minds. But these were hurdles that must be jumped. Sn the race was on. The First hurdle, our Freshman year, was easily leaped. On and on we went increasing the pace to meet our second hurdle, our Sophomore year. This too, with similar ease, was overcome. Undaunted, we continued onward. Our Junior year proved to be not as easy as the preceding two. This one required real work, :md work, we did. The transition from Junior to Senior was particularly interesting. when we began our final year, undergraduates of a lower rank noticed a different tone in our voices. a new twinkle in our eyes, a new poise and bearing. Solemn Seniors could be seen strutting to and from classes with an air that unmistalcalaly denotes that one is in his final year of High School. But the finish line was looming up in the distance. Down we came cutting the tape in all our pomp and glory. The race was won and proudly we accepted the fruit of our victory-our diplomas. CLASS OFFICERS Gerard Lafond .... ..,..

The inter- view turned out to be unfavorable for my own personal matter, but, as I was about to depart, after paying her well for learning nothing, the wrinkled old hag slipped me a package which she tool: care to tell me not to open till last night at midnight. That I did, and to my amazement it contained another little package, on which were written in recl ink, the peculiar words: Prophecy of the Prevost Senior Class ri of 1940 . Needless to say, I opened this last one with feverish haste. In it were Z5 slips of well folded paper on each of which was inscribed a particular prophecy. And this is how they read: Roger Boisvert Roland Carrier Roger Dufour Wilfrid Dupuis Georges Faille Oscar Fontaine Paul Giroux Fernand Guay Raymond Guay Eugene Hamel Raymond Labbe Henri Hamel Will become a very willing instructor in a school for nurses. Will finally oil the mouse in his violin and will then land an honorary appointment on the Hickville Welfare 5-piece Symphony Orchestra. Will so hypnotize the people of Fall River by his piano play- ing that they will donate him a special four-walled, window- less room for that purpose. Will become jitter-bug instructor in a Russian Ballet troupef' 'lWill become head of the Chisel, Jipp and Soak Insurance Firmf, Will teach Latin in the newly constructed Msgr. Prevost University. Will have died young experimenting with an explosive that would have revolutionized the photographing industry. Will found an insane asylum and be the first to need it. Will invent a combination bed, table, bathroom, and Chemis- try laboratory so that he won't have to move all clay long. 'WWi1l found a school where he will teach lazy pupils how to get flat tires on their bicycles as an excuse for staying away from school for a dayf' Will publish a book entitled: How to be glamorous while washing dishes. Will publish a bool: of unused excuses for being late for chemistry and getting away with itf' 0 Page 43 Gerard Lafond Rene Lajoie Robert Larocque Herve Lavoie Gerard Le Page l Maurice Levasseur Fernand Lizotte Normzmd Lizotte f i l Clarence McCarthy l Q Albert Milotte Albert Raymond Jacques Roque Lionel Thiboutot rv rr u rr rt u rr u Will fife himself away and his family of ten so that he won't have to feed them. Will die trying to clean up Davy Jones' Locker. Will be the only man licensed to sell hot dogs in Lafayette Park. Will die of hunger for trying to eat the inside of macaroni. Will surprise the world by staying single, thereby driving many of our fairest to suicide. 'iWill put Admiral Byrd to shame by exploring the South Pole in a bathing suit after rowing to it in a bathtub. Will cause a revolution in China by opening a laundry shop theref' Will assassinate Hitler and will establish typewriting classes in the Concentration Camps. Will teach the goldfish in the New York Aquarium how to play ping-pong. Will publish a book entitled: Wake up and Live , after he has done so himself. Will become coach on a girl's Softball Team in the South Sea Islandsf, Will become thc Charlie Chaplin of the second half of the 20th Century. Will establish his fortune by selling newspapers and calendars to Father Time. After reading those silly predictions, I knew that I had been wasting my money, for the Seniors of this year are all too ambitious to let such unfortunate events happen to them .

FROM EITHER SIDE Every congregation is supplied with hypercritics who figure that their dime in the collection box puts them on the board of trustees. They are the high judges of the community, the arbiter who decides that this was right and that was wrong. They take particular pains to make life unpleasant to their pastor. If he asks for money, he is charged with worldlinessg if his church falls to pieces, he is a poor financier. If he has bazaars, he is bleeding the peopleg if he doesn't, there is no social life in the parish. If he preaches more than five minutes he is long-windedg if his sermon is short, he hasn't prepared it. If he calls on his parishioners, he is considered a bore, if he doesn't, he is high-hatted. If he gesticulates during his sermon, he is trying to be dramaticg if he confines himself to the heatitudes, he is condemned for his platitudes. If he owns a car, he is too worldly, if he cloesn't, he always arrives too late on sick calls. If he gives advice in the confessional, he is consuming timeg if he doesn't, he is not a good director. If he starts Mass on time, his watch is fast, if he starts late, he is holding back the congregation. The critics keep a pastor's hands full-of everything except money.
