Attack the foe wherever he comes in view, Halt not till thou hast won a vict'ry new. Let not the glitter of the world deceive, Nor honor's path, e'er thee induce to leave. Keep clean thy heart and worship God alway, With Bread of Angels feed thy soul each day. When danger threatens and temptation tries, Seek lVlary's aid, 'gainst wily fath'r of lies. A helping hand unto a brother lcndg Thy country's honor with thy might defend. Devote thy health, thy head, thy heart, thy hand To serving God and hon'ring native land. T. S. F. Q aff? R A+: Q -Iv EDMUND A. BERGERON Blessed Sacrament Good thoughts reduced to practice become good acts. That blue-eyed, blond-haired, stocky piece of manhood is Eddie Bergeron. His 4 personality and his understanding manners ,Q make him one of the best-liked students of the class. He takes everything in his stride, never letting anything ruffle his serene countenance. Although ill health prevented him from attending school regularly, he managed to pass with a sale margin. His plans for the future are indefiniteg what- ever his choice, we are assured by his energy that he will be successful. Nickname: Eddie . Pastime: Roller skating, ' Temperament: Cheerful. Weakng,5g Girls, Typical saying: Gee, I missed the bus! Ambition: To tour the country. Pet hate: Missing school. Favorite sport: Volley ball. ARMAND BIBEAU Notre Dame -a mighty man wus he! This lad, with the broad smile and the no less remarkable muscular development is Bib, the erstwhile man of the class. His ever-preserved good humor and witty sallies enlivcned our lunch periods. Armand is a staunch supporter of school organizations. In him, our school harbors one of those care-free spirits, always bubbling over with laughter and ever intent upon draining the very last drop of the joie de vivre out of this hectic life. If our predictions are , right, Bib will turn to the Navy as a career. l Glee Club 1, 2, 3. Dramatic: 4. NiClih1lm9I Bilv'1, PUfl.ial-'u- Weakness: Potaroe chips.

BLAIS St. Matthew Character is higher than intellect. Don't be deceived by the apparent apathy of this young man. Under a placid exterior and an habitually smiling countenance he hides a dominant spirit and a rugged will. In his four years with us, George has proved a sincere, loyal friend. He faces the future with the assurance of an experienced fighter who ignores fear. What his plans are is unknown to us. We are confident however that his- energy and intrinsic ability will carry him to the top. Bicycle Club 4. Nickname: Georgie , Pastime: Shooting pool, Temperament: Carefree, Weakness: Chewing gum. Typical saying: Give me a grapefruit . Ambition: To own Alpert's. Pet hate: Bowling: Favorite sport: Football, PAUL AIME BOULAY St, Matthew Blushing is a sign of virtue. Among the gay band of cyclists who pedal their way from Bowenville to Pre- vost each morning, shines the radiant smile of that quiet, unassuming lad, known to us as Red, the genius of the class. His enroll- ment as a member of the class of '42 marked for the rest of us the end of our first place dreams. Only once was he taken out of first place. His favorite sport is volley ball. He believes in hard work as a means to success, and has been well repaid so far. He intends to take up aviation after gradua- tion. We foresee for him a fruitful career. Good luck, Paul. Claw Secretary 4. Bicycle Club 4. Nickname: Red . Pastimes Selling war stamps. Temperament: Reserved. Wleakness: Blushing. Typical saying: Oh yeah! Ambition: To he a pilot. Pe: hate: Girls.

If I can't do a job well, I dou't do it,,' seems to be the motto of this sedate young man. Always smiling, he tackles his duty with a will and determination that bring results. He possesses unbounded energy and his willingness to help is unfailing. His ambition is to become an aviator in one of the branches of the service. If he attains his goal, he will undoubtedly add another name to the long list of brave men who are fighting to preserve democracy. May you have an illustrious career, Casey. Dramntiu 1.

Young Mr. Caron is known to us as Jack: Tall and lanky, he is a favorite with the boys. His congenial nature, his flashing wit, and his innate love of fun have carved for him a niche in the hearts of his friends. It is well nigh impossible to picture Jack without his body guard, thi: husky Bib. Jack is one of Prevost's oldest sons, having entered when he was a charming lad wearing lcnickerboclters. At one time he played the violin in the orchestra. Class Secretary 2, 3. Glee Club 1, 2. Public Speaking 3. Typist Le Prevent. Nidfhamei .lHClC 4 Pastime: Driving Bibzau's jalopy.

CLAIRMONT Notre Dame Music washes away from the soul the :lust of every day life. Ever since his admission into the school jerry has taken part in all its functions. He is a charter member ef the orchestra founded eight years ago, and is now one of its mainstays. With him will disappear a popular figure in that organism which his brought much credit to the school. The confidence his fellow students place in him is reflected in the fact that for four suc- cessive years he has been chosen class pre- sident. He is endowed with a charming smile, a winning personality, an unselfish devotion to the school. Whatever the career you may choose to follow in life, you will scale the heights.

Dexter's activities have been so numerous and their attendant success so complete that it is difficult to outline them briefly and give him the credit he justly deserves. A good student, a fluent orator, an able singer, an accomplished actor, an original cartoonist, Dex is all this and more. He knows how to make the most of any situa- tion, even the most embarrassing. His reacly wit has often dispelled. the gloom of many otherwise dull trigonometry periods. Any one who has seen him both ar work and at play knows that Arsene has qualities that spell success.

DUFQUR St. Matthew Diligence is the mother of good luck. In September 1938, Duffy came from St. Matthew's on his bicycle. This laborious pupil set to work with his customary de- termination and was rewarded with marvel- ous results. Never did he allow difficulties to discourage him. He believes in the old saying Work while you work, play while you play, for if in school he is as solemn as an owl, on the campus he is as joyful and active as a swallow. He finds in soccer, volley ball ancl softballacliversion from the labor of his studies. His qualities, both moral and intellectual, are strong assets that will undoubtedly pay him large divi- dends in the future. Class Vice-President 2. Bicycle Club 4.

He is oif medium height and weight, has dark black hair and black eyes, and is sun tanned the year round. He would go withour lunch rather: than miss a game of softball. Danny is a good sport, a ready hand whenever help is wanted for a good muse. In school, he managed to keep good grades in spite of his apparent lack of interest during the lessons. He took part in oratory where he distinguished him- self. He intends to go to college before he faces life. Good luck, Dan.

Mention the mere name of basketball within hearing distance of Red, and you'll see, a twinkle in his eyes, for that is his favorite sport. He coached the grammar school quintet to the city championship in the C. Y. O. parochial school loop. He knows no enemy. His jovial and cheerful disposition makes him a favorite with his fellow students. Small of stature, he won't let anyone walk on his toes no matter how big is the opposition. Red has the ability to go places. Here's wishing him the best of luck. Class Vice-President 3, 4. Typist Le Prevosl. Pastime: Playing pool. Weakness: Bowling, Ambition: To be a basketball coach.

Albert will long be remembered at Pre- vost as a model student: at work or at play he cloes his best. He is endowed with an in- domitable will to learn and a perseverance that will lead him to the top. We all know his interest in aviation ancl foresee for him a brilliant future in his chosen field. He has been very active, of late, on the volley ball court where he displays his heretofore dormant skill. Quier and reserved, he be- comes animated when discussing airplanes. Good luck Al. May you achieve the success E that you richly deserve. Public Speaking 4. Nickname: Al . Pastimc: Building model airplanes. Temperament: Dignified. Weakness: Airplanes, Typical saying: What type is it? Ambition: To be an air cadet. Pet hate: Mathematics. Favorite sport: Driving a car. ARTHUR HEBERT Holy Name They conquer who think they can. Here is, in sooth, the mathematical genius of the class of '42, The scientific angle from which he looks at things has earned for him the appellative Doc . Nearly all of his talent extends in the di- rection of numbers, roots, sines, cosines ancl formulae. He juggles with trigonometry and geometry problems that have baffled many others. Art will pursue his quest of knowledge at an engineering, school where his talents for science and mathematics 'are sure to be rewarded with success. Best nf luck, Doc. Nickname: Doc . Pastime: Golf. Temperament: Ambitious. Weakness: Figures. Typical saying: It'x like this. Ambition: To be an engineer. Pet hate: Detention. Favorite sport: Racing. U Page NORMAND LAVALLEE Notre Dame Haste makes waste. We like to look upon Ncrmancl as an outstanding student whose large vocabulary, vast stock of knowledge on almost every question have earned for him the cogno- mrn of Professor. His studious habits have kept him among the highest ranking stu- dents. He has not taken a large part in extracurricular activities bu: is interested in whatever pertains to the school. He is now preparing to join the U. S. Army Air Corps. We have faith in you, Norm, so go to ir, and climb that ladder of success that you have been long preparing for.

U Page 16 1 -4.1- LAURENT LUSSIER Notre Dame Men of few words are the best men, Larry is a tall, energetic young man, with a heavy beard. His many occupations leave him but little leisure to practice his fiddle. He is one of the two remaining charter members of the orchestra but will be lost by graduation. His departure will leave a big hole, for none was more reliable, more as- siduous at rehearsals, more willing to con' tribute his time for the success of the orchestra. He tackles every task with zest, and once he gets the ball rolling, nothing will stop him. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Nickname: Larry . Temperament: Placid. Typical saying: Go home! Pet hate: Shaving.

He delights his audience with his wit, and his repartees call for more teasing. In class, he can be very serious, but will not miss an ,oppor- tunity to lighten the heavy atmosphere of some days with pranks all his own. He is a jolly good fellow, a friend to all. He likes reading, and talking. His future ,lies in the Army Air Corps, where two brothers have preceded him. Like many an other, Joe is air-minded, but he keeps sufficiently on the ground to pass the scholastic requirements of the school. Glee Club 2, 3. Pasrimc: Fooling. Weakness: Cigarettes.

When Russ joined us last September he not only boosted our number up one point but added his stock of enthusiasm and good cheer as well. He soon gained our affection and confidence by his winning ways. Russ and his favorite pipe have become a fam- iliar figure around the school. Small in stature, he stands high in intellectual attain- ments and general worthiness. He excels in mathematics. We wish him good luck wherever he will go, and assure him that he leaves behind only fond memories and fast friendships. Rattling coppers Nickname: Russ . Pasrime: Temperamenr: Noisy.

T. S. F. 9 Page FU L The Class of '43 There is not an activity in Prevost High School, 'but the members of the Junior Class are the mainstays thereof. Scholastically the class aver- age is high. The honor of top- ping the list of brilliant leaders goes to Gerard Dextraze who has repeatedly tal-ten first rank in term examinations. The musical organisations, Glee Club, Double Quartet, find their most enthusiastic members, and some of the most capable, in our class. The Dramatic Club, which presented both a French and an English play'this year, was with very few exceptions, made up of Juniors. This wealth of talent in the fields of knowledge and art, in no way hind- ers us from being successful in the field of sports. The baseball team's star per- formers are students of high standing in the Junior Class: Pitchers Omer Blais, Milton Dunlop and Louis Fontaine, Fielders Edmond Tremblay, Paul Dufour and Robert Poulioc. In inter-class competition we claim the titles of Football and Softball Champions. School spirit runs high in the class of '43. Every school activity is of interest to us. We topped all other classes in the drive for funds for Athletics and in the Ticket Sale for the school play. The School's Champion Salesman for both these contests was none other than our own classmate, David Talbot, who fairly typifies School Spirit and unselfish devotion to the common cause. We have spent a happy year together, and how we are looking forward to the crowning of our High School career. We have set our goal high, and our determination is to achieve success, to follow the noble example of Christian manhood which our predecessors of the Class of '42 have set for us. We shall endeavour to keep aloft the Blue and White standard of Prevost High School, which they now relinquish to us, and as they leave the hallowed pr:- cincts of their Alma Mater we bid them Godspeed.

U Page ZZ The Class of '44 As we reach the close of our Sophomore year we turn with satisfaction to our achieve- mcnts. Without being boastful, we, 'wise-fools can readily say that we did our share in helping the school. We presented movies to replenish the sports fund, we competed in the oratorical con- tests against the more exper- ienced Juniors and Seniors and almost won top honors from Sophomores form the them, main body of the Glee Clubg three lend their talent to the Prevost orchestra: N. Gingras plays the piano. L. Proulx, the and E. Lachance, the violin, saxophoneg and two of us had parts in The Feed Store Mystery . The baseball team, hard hit by last year's graduation and by the employment opportunities, found a valuable 3rd baseman in Lionel Proulx, and a wide-awake , catcher in Albert Cournoyer. Our preference during recess went to volley ball as a means of giving our bodies rhc necessary amount of physical exercise, and to touch-tackle football, during the Autumn season. Our gridmen shone brilliantly in the interclass football series and all but won the top honors from the heavier juniors. To infer from that list of extracurricular activities that most of our time was consumed in play and consequently the more serious side of our school life suffered from it would be, to say the least, very rash. Denis Marcoux headed the class term after term. He was closely followed by Dominique Nadeau, Laurence Vigneault, and Gerald Sr. Denis. Not much is to be said about our studies as a whole except that we experienced some hard moments in Intermediate Algebra, blundered over languages and came through in grand style in Business Arithmetic. This history would not be complete without a word about our class jester, Cyrus 'Wilson. He always has something up his sleeve and we owe him many an enjoyable moment. Even the teachers have to smile at his ready humor and inoffensive quips. It was a happy and busy year. We all have grown in years, in intelligence, in knowledge. We hope to meet again in the Fall, and encourage one another throughout our Junior year.

A Soldier boy whose death approached, Had little thought of cure, yet hopedg A prisoner deprived of friends Awaited silently his end. He calmly lay there on his bed And rushing thoughts ran through his head, About his home among the fegs Which rise from the surrounding hogs. He pictured now a home so grim, A home that long had sheltered him. Over the flower-box he saw The stricken eyes of his dear Mom in awe. He'l1 never see his friends again Nor streets, nor home, where once he lived. Tl1ey'll never see his gallant face That years nor death cannot erase. Normand Pilotte, '45, 0 Page Z4 QQ Ns m1 i The Class of '45, Section A, Forty young faces, bewilder- K ' ' ' ed and anxious, entered the 1 Freshman class last September. FRESHMEN! All felt important at being the bearers of this grand title, yet, with the feeling of superiority, was that gnawing annoyance called anxiety. Some of us were accustomed to the classes at Prevost, because we had been trained here in Gram- mar School. A large percentage of us were a little more nervous: coming from other parishes, all this was absolutely new. After a short period in which everyone became acquaint- ed, the Freshman Class began to cake shape, and unite into one big happy family. Once things started to roll smoothly, and that everyone of us cooperated in the common effort to make this the best Freshman Class in the his- tory of Prevost, many among us began to take an interest in extra-curricular activities. We have in our class, Glee Club members, Orchestra members, Athletes and Public Speakers, In other words, the Freshmen have done their part to, maintain the renown of Prevost High. Our first year in High School here, has taught us many things, but most important of all, that as yet, we only have the key to knowledge, and that it will take many more years of study before we can say that we ate mature enough to go out into the world. It has taught us to study hard and. like it. All these things, however would not be possible without adequate guidance, this of course, was provided by the Reverend Brothers whose sincere and diligent efforts to cultivate us into good Catholic boys do not go without a great and genuine appreciation from the members of this class. Andre Giroux '45 THE SOUNDS OF THE HELL-GATE OF SOISSONS The air is oppressing with the weight of the seconds. A shrill command signals the charge. A driving wave of soldiers rushed forth from trench and ditch, over wall and hedge, headlong for the fire that blazed the path. Cannons pealed their thunderclap, bombs burst, water splashed, shots rang against the steel bridge. One could make out the sharp cry of the falling soldier in the din of the fight, the cradc of rifle fire, the whiz of a passing bullet, the clangor of bugles, the roll of drums, the rat-tat-tat of machine gun lead on the bent helmets, the echo of distant grenades. All contributed to make it a deafening mess of clashing powder and steel. Gerald Caron '45 0 Page Z5 so - l ff? The Class of ,45, Section B.

On the sunny morning of September 3, 1941, forty shy Freshmen studded the verdure- clad campus of Prevostg their coy demeanor spoke the anxious- ness of their souls to get ac- quainted with the new world into which they were about to enter. Before many weeks had elapsed they had demonstrated that they were intent on their school tasks and ready to parti- cipate in any organization. In fact, the Freshmen held many class meetings, each one bringing its own enjoyment. Courtesy Week which headed the list of those meetings was intended to refine some of our fresh manners. Every one still remembers the words of the school principal on the opening day. In our war-tom world L A wherein hatred and rancor pre- i V vail, wherein courtesy and civility are but masks concealing treacherous intents, we must maintain high our standards of true politeness and genuine urbanity. Even to this day, the polite manners of the Freshmen bear testimony to the enduring effects of Courtesy Week . The last week of November witnessed the election of the class officers. Lafleur easily won the presidency and his sterling qualities made of him a most capable leader. N. Picard carried the vice-presidency to the great satisfaction of his staunch backers and his genuine enthusiasm served him well in his office. I-leon secured the secretaryship. We hail in him the ideal class secretary. The solemn proclamation of the notes at the end of the first term brought satisfaction to the majority who had earned good marksg the few who had teap- ed a crop of pigmy notes were roused from their intellectual inertia and adopt- ed a different strategy for the following terms. When the bicycle club was formed by Bro. Thomas to develop safety-mind- edness among the students, the following classmates joined the organization: G. Morrissette, R. Phenix, B. Charlancl, R. Croisetiere. The Social Science Class also celebrated the Bill of Rights Week, George Washington,s and Lincoln's birthdays, everyone remembers the patriotic speeches delivered on those occasions and the entertainmen: given us by our musicians. The entire trumpet section of the orchestra is made up of Freshmen: R. Gaf mache, C. Bouthillier, R. Petit. The Class has another musician in clarinetist M. Simoneau. Let us hope all will be back next September to benefit by the sound education we receive at Prevost High ' Page 27 ie! .

But we have weathered the storm and now present the snappiest little instrumental group Prevost High has ever had. Here we are all dressed up in our attractive suits of white and blue, ready again to favor you with one of our catchy semi-classical tunes. To the roll of states in which our orchestra has shown the skill of Mass- achusetts musicians, fwe have previously played in Mainel, we may now add that of Rhode Island for in the Spring of '42, we visited the most charming parish of St. Charles Borromeo in Providence and there gave a concert to the students of the Academy. We have three Seniors in the orchestra, and they are our leaders in the violin section. They are important, indeed, but the Junior class forms the nucleus of the orchestra. Seven musicians occupying key positions are Juniors. A special mention must be made of our appearance at the opening of the U.S.O. center, where before two bishops, Most Rev. Bishop Cassidy, of Fall River, and Most Rev. Bishop O'Hara, of the Army and Navyg before national, state and local organizersg before delegations of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, and a capacity audience, we performed with zest and vigor the best selections of our repertoire and were applauded enthusiastically even though we did not play the Notre Dame Victory March . Thanks are here extended to Roland Carrier and Lucien Roy, two of our former companions who have come devotedly to the rehearsals and helped us at our public performances as often as their many duties permitted them.

Back row: Rev. Bro. Patrice, Rene Tremblay, Donald Domingue, Paul-Emile Lapointe, Leona-l Breault, Prof. Dominateur Plante. The sixteen young men pictured above have two things in common: first, they are all students of Msgr Prevost High and second, they form one of the best Glee Clubs that this worthy school has ever been able to boast of. Although the membership is rather small, it is no handicap whateverg indeed, it is even an asset, for thus the singers can master new selections more quickly and with a minimum of disturbance to the other students. The Glee Club was asked to sing at the school assemblies, in St. Anne's Auditorium, at the Franco-American Hour. It has also presented a cantata entitled Williain Tell , written by Roecltel, which was the feature of the annual recreational evening presented at Notre Dame Hall. The selections which best pleased our audiences during the year are: Stout Hearted Men , Song of the Jolly Roger and Old King Cole . It would be impossible to write something about the Glee Club without giving Bro. Patrice and Prof. Dominateur Plante out recognition and our most profound thanks for the splendid work done by them throughout the year. They sacrificed valuable hours in teaching us more patiently than we deserved, those things for which we got the credit. Les martyrs aux arenas , which we are to offer at the Commencement Exercises, promises to be the best ever.

The sodamy The Sodality is intended to group such' students as urged by the call to Catholic action will endeavor, by every means at their disposal to promote the interests of Christ in their immediate sphere of action! The two great principles of the Sodality are personal holiness and active Catholicity. Sodalists must lead a holy life and they can achieve this through devotion to and the imitation of the Blessed Virging by devotion to her Son, that is by frequent confession and communion, daily mass, visits to the Blessed Sacramentg and by devotion to the Sodality Patron, Saint Stanislaus. In possession of God and his Grace they can exert a truly Christian influence. As active Catholics, the Sodalists are expected to participate in all the religious activities of the school, to help propagate Catholic Press and stamp out indecent literat- ure, to be, wherever they worlt or play, alteri Christi. ' ACTIVITIES Once a month, the Sodalists became pilgrims and walked. to a church of the neighborhood to attend mass and receive Holy Communion. A retreat was organ- ized by the officers of the Sodality and though it was held during the Spring vacation, it was very well attended. We shall long remember these quiet hours of meditation and prayer. May our chaplain and retreat master, Rev. Father Du- puis, find here the expression of our sincere thanks for his unfailing services and for the interest he has taken in the Sodality. Lately, we have launched a campaign against objectionable movies and in- decent litcrature by taking a solemn pledge to refrain from shows and reading banned by the Legion of Decency. We have individually subscribed to the Catholic Register and volunteered to sell Catholic papers. We are now selling over 200 Catholic newspapers each week. Recently we have printed a paper of our own, The Sodality Forum . The paper is composed, printed and published by the members and thus far has proved to be one of the best agents in propagating good reading. Sodalists, the school relies on us to live up to the principles of our brother- hood. Let us always bear in mind the words of the hero of Bataan: The best strategy is that of the offensive . By so doing we shall be a credit to our school. Sodalists, we want our organizatioh to resume its activities next September, but the Sodality will not keep rolling unless you supply the wheels. The wheels are your generosity and your devotedness. In this present crisis wherein prayer and sacrifice are the most effective weapons, we should unflinchingly cling to our Sodality which gives us the opportunity to serve God and save souls.

Thomas, Louis Fontaine, Louis Bibenu, Milton Dunlop, Marcel Messier, Omet Blnis, Edmond Tremblay, Robert Mercier. Absent, George Fromenc. The 1941 baseball team established the best record in the school annals. In Narry League competition they won eight games and lost two, taking the run- ner-up position in the league. In pre-season games, Coach Brother Thomas had taken his charges against strong schoolboy combines, bowing to Coyle and Dur- fee, but twice taking Fairhaven into camp. With last year-'s graduation went most of the baseball tcam. This spring Brother Thomas faced the problem of building a team around two veteran field' ers, Edmond Tremblay and Paul Dufour, and pitching ace Lefty Blais. The return of Milton Dunlop to Prevost raises our hopes a little higher. The squad as it now stands is about evenly made up of Juniors, Sophomores and- Freshmen -a team with the Dodger slogan Wait till next year , but with the intention and ability to do something about it this year. ' As this goes to press, the squad has completed the first half of the 1942 schedule. The boys defeated Fairhaven twice, to sweep the series for the second successive year. After being edged out by Holy Family 3-2, at Lafayette Park, the boys took the second game -4 a 10-inning fracas -- by an ll-8 score, on the Parochials' home field. Westport and Dighton bowed to our warriors in close contests, while the defending League champions over-powered our aggregation in a 6-0 shut-out. At Somerset the Prevost men played what Narry League followers have termed the best defensive game in- the league's history, when they shut out the Blue Raiders 9-0, behind Lefty Blais' one-hit pitching. The squad of 1942 wishes to express here its deep appreciation to Coach Brother Thomas for his untiring efforts, to Mt. E., Gendreau for his frequent help in practice sessions, to our friends who made,it possible for us to travel to out-of-town points, and finally to the student body and fans for their hearty support.

' Page 33 I N An I deal. Who could tell the influence of an ideal on the life of an individual? It surpasses all thoughtsg it exceeds all powers of manis ingenuity. It inspires and agitates those who look forward to success. No artist has prospered without its support. No conqueror has achieved dominion without it. An ideal is beautiful, but without a set resolution and strong will-power ir will avail nothing. Many have comeg many have gone-some have met with success, others have floundered in failure. To those who have succeeded, a strong ideal has proved its worth, its enthralling power. Those who have not reached their goal, have failed because their ideal was naught but a misty, nebulous dream. In this time of crisis, our country needs all available help,-help from men who have looked forward with anxiety and yet have planned with eagerness, help from men with fire in their eyes and determination in their hearts. After four years of earnest preparation and expert guidance we are now launched out onto the deep, threatening, storm-swept sea of ,life. The time has come to realize in action these lofty ideals, cherished subjects of our youthful dreams, which have so often fired us with noble zeal and o'er-vaulting ambition. Already the sea rises. . . the sea of dark and threatening waters, whose depths are as yet, by us, unfathomed, whose forces are still to us unknown. Our skiff bravely heads into the storm. Above, dark, lowering clouds' obscure the cheering light and warmth of the lsun. Black night comes on. . . But in the midst of this outward desolation and strifeg in spite of trials and dif- ficulties ancl reverses, high in the firmament of our souls shines the glorious light of our steadfast purpose to progress, to overcome obstacles, to sail through the tempest, to come safely to port. i Gerard Clairmont '4Z. Graduation As Graduation Day draws nigh, Pray, note our joy, our spirits high: Rejoicing now that we have heeded Every time dear teacher pleaded. As Graduation Day draws near, Each Senior hearkens, glad to hear The master's voice dispense advice, Which followed well, will ward off vice. When Graduation has come and gone The new-made man toils boldly on Towards heights that are by courage won. i To Mother, Father, Friends we say: Receive our humble thanks, we pray, On this, our Graduation Day. X Armand Caisse, '42 0 Page 34 Class Prophecy Returning home from a long voyage abroad, I entered my home and greet- ed my parents who were very happy to see me. I was exhausted, and went to bed as soon as I had terminated my supper. I fell asleep immediately. Then it was day. I found myself in a very large room, completely different from my own. Everything seemed! to be new and expensive. I dressed, and then I strolled down a long marble stairway. I looked at the calendar in the hall. It read April 14, 1982. Wow! I was stunned, and looked again. But I was right the first time. I walked out the door, and I met Danny Fisette, on old. school- matt. He was sitting in a car that looked like a big Land-cruiser. In fact, it was one. He offered me a ride to the post office, my destination. The city was beaut- iful, nothing like the old Fall River. We reached the P. O. a giant new building. I went in and strolled from corridor to corridor still puzzled. Looking through a door, I spotted Armand Bibeau still trying to join the Navy, and his pal Roger Garon sitting down wait- ing for him. I also found out that Alphonse Leblanc, was now the postmaster. My business finished, I started back for home, through the center of the city. I passed by the new expensive looking Durfee Theater and saw Gerard Clairmont's and Larry Lussier's photos in the lobby. They were giving a concert that day. To purchase some cigarettes I walked into the nearest cigar store, only to see that George Blais now owned his own wholesale and retail tobacco store. He pointed across the street to a large bakery owned by Paul Boulay, who made his own bread and pastry. Paul even had several branch stores in different cities and Gerard Dufour was manager of one in New Bedford. So I strolled along until I met Joe Pineau. He was now married and had three children. He informed me that Eddie Bergeron died after being treated by Doctor Paul deVillers. I purchased a paper and read an ad advertising Bob Gauthier's new shoe store. I also found that Arsene Dextraze had a comic strip in the paper I was reading. He always did like to draw. I inquired about Arthur Hebert and found that he became an electrical engineer and made good. I concluded my walk by visiting the municipal airport. There I met Albert Harrison boarding a giant streamlined Rocketship with Norm Lavallee as his co-pilot. He invited me for a ride. We took off like a flash heading for Mars. Then the rocket tube failed to fire and we began to fall down, down, down. . . Boom! I woke up and found myself in my own little room, on the floor instead of in the bed. Whew! What a nightmare! I should have known better than go to sleep on a full stomach. A. Caisse ,42 ' Page 35 Gi. ffl' 19. . Un Pea Vif Roberr Picard, Lionel Breaulr, Ax-sine Dexrraze, Lin Renaud.

' Page 39 0 Page 40 xx i En marge de - Maria Chapdelaine Le contact avec le chef-cl'oeuvre de Louis Hemon fut pour nous une reve- lation. Nous nous expliquons maintenant le pourquoi cles nomlareuses editions de l'ouvrage, sa traduction en plusieuts langues et son succes au theatre. Le livre sera lu par les generations a venir comme il l'a ere par les generations presentes. Pour les nations cle la vieille Europe qui ne savent pas ce que c'est que le defrichement, il revetira un caractere exotique et historiqueg pour les pays cl'Amerique, l'oeuvre cle Louis Hemon garde son actualite: des terres pouvant faire vivre plusieurs mil- lions cle population restent ai defricher et clevront l'etre si l'on veut qu'a la popu- lation urbaine du Quebec corresponcle une population rurale forte, nombreuse et prospere qui soit la gardienne et la soeur nourriciere de la population des villes. Les methocles de clefrichement pourront changer, il n'en restera pas moins vrai que l'esprit des anciens clefricheurs cloit vivre dans les clefricheurs actuels et fu- turs. Samuel Chapdelaine restera le prototype du clefricheur et il faut savoir gre a llauteur de l'avoir immortalise dans cles pages que ceux qui vienclront liront avec emotion. L'oeuvre de Louis Hemon presente une belle tranche de vie. Le terrien y est campe avec tous les traits caracteristiques qu'on lui connait, pendant qu'autour de lui gravitent les personnages qui, de tout temps, ont accompagne les clefricheurs, tantot partageant leur dur labeur, tantot s'aiclant de leurs exemples, tantot consti- tuant pour eux et leurs enfants de vraies causes de cleracinement, de Clesertement :lu sol. Et c'est Eutrope Gagnon qui nous vient a l'instant a la memoire: attache is sa concession, aimant la terre, la trouvant bonne, concredisant sur ce point, et sans qu'il en paraisse, la mere Chapclelaine qui regrette les terres clefrichees, le terrain planche, la grande culture, la proximite er la variete des voisins de St-Prime et de St-Gedeon. A ses regrets, il opposera avec un calme imperturbable la defense des defricheurs: Pourtant, la terre est bonne par icitte . Eutrope Gagnon resre ancre a la terre et c'est lui qui, finalement, olatienclra Maria pour compagne cle ses iours. Partageant les travaux des Chapdelaine, apportant a son travail le maximum cle sa force et de son energien, Eclwige Legare, seconcle aclmirablement le pete Sa- muel. Comme lui il semble avoir la passion du defrichement plutot que cells de la culture . On souhaiterait chez lui plus cle retenue dans ses paroles, mais on lui parclonne ses ecarts de langage dont la vehemence de sa nature est la source. Il est du nombre des hommes de bonne volonte a qui, sur terre, la paix a are promise. Il semhle bien que les fils Chapclelaine vont marcher sur les traces du pete. Le jeune Telesphore va-t-il constituer l'exception dans la famille? Conservera-t-il, en vieillissant, ce upolytheisme compliqueu, avec lequel il s'entend parfois si bien pour s'innocenter une fois les escapades accomplies? Se regardera-t-il toujours comme un simple champ clos, ou des demons assurement malins et des anges bons mais un peu simples se livrent sans fin un combat inegalu? Nous inclinons pour une solution pacifique E1 ce clrame interieur de Telespl-mre qui pourrait de- venir un drame familial. Nous l'esperons, quand, a 14 ans, le jeune garcon pre- nant part a tous les travaux cles hommes, sera traite en homme, sa nature se sera mise a la hauteur de toutes celles qui l'entourent, et la famille Chapdelaine ne comptera pas de mouton noir clans ses membres. 0 Pai' 41 ard K ei.. e , - 5 'Q Q, 1.5 Pour deraciner les fils Chapdelaine de la terre, pour les faire sacrifier au clin uant des vi les ou au mira e des vo a es, il a Fran ois Paradis et Lorenzo q S Y S Y 9 Surprenant. On peut meme dire que le succes de Francois Paradis fut reel, seule la fatalite empechera l'heroine de sacrifier la vie seclentaire du paysan a celle plus changeante et remplie d'imprevus :lu coureur de bois. La mere Chapdelaine avait la ses responsabilites: tant de fois elle avait fait entrevoir le bonheur cle vivre dans les paroisses organisees que Maria, en etait venue tout naturellement A s'imaginer qu'elle partageait ses gofxts . Un instant, peut-etre, elle caressa le reve de vivre comme une Dame dans une importante paroisse, voire meme, une ville, pendant les voyages de celui a qui elle avait fait des aveux dissimules. La Providence ap- porta au probleme une solution aussi inattendue que tragique. Lorenzo Surprenant personnifie un autre danger, l'exode, toujours menacant meme si la crise aigue du. fleau est passee. A. la question de Samuel Chapdclaine, il n'a pas envie de garcler la terre et cle se mettre habitantu? il repondit avec son sourire enjoleur-Non. Qa ne me tente pas de devenir habitant. . . Je gagne de lJonnes gages la ou je suisg je me plais bien, je suis accoutume a l'ouvrage .... Puis, sa voix s'eleva quelque peu et longtemps, il fit 1'apologie des pays lointains, des grandes villes ou se trouvent des edifices immenses, dc grandes usines, de nombreuses voies ferrees, des marches puhlics, etc. . . le tout debite avec convic- tion en regardant Maria tres souventl Cepenclant, il ne l'emporteta pas, Pap- pel de la terre sera plus fort que le mirage, mais la lutte aura are dure, presque tragique, et Maria, une seconde fois, aura are ebranlee. Nous avons passe cle bons moments avec le vieux Nazaire Laroucheg parfois meme, il nous est arrive, comme lui, de parler en paraboles. Apres avoir ecoute Napoleon Laliberte debiter ses nouvelles comme un charretier anime ses betas dans une cote, nous sommes entres par ld pensee, dans le magasin general et nous avons ecoute les habitants devisant de leurs problemes. La saveur de leur langage ne nous a pas eclxappe et nous nous demanclons comment il sc fait qu'on ose encore qualifier de patois la langue parlee par les terriens dans le Quebec. Le livre de Louis Hemon qui a connu un si beau succes cle librairie en France a du ouvrir les yeux des Parisiens et des Francais credules, souhaiions qu'il en soit ainsi pour les Torontois, plus difficiles 51 convertir sur ce point, nous dit-on, et pour tous ceux que la culture franqaise interesse. Bref, Maria Chapclelaine est un beau livre et nous Pignorions. Il y a des centaines de Gagnon aux Etats-Unis, tous descendent d'une fa- mille de Gagnon de la Nouvelle-France, Eutrope Gagnon ne fait pas exception, les Gagnon de Fall River non plus. De plus, les Bouchard, les Surprenant, les Larouche, les Pesant, les Laliberte, les Paradis, les Berube, les Gaudreau, les Tremblay, sont tous des noms bien connus dans la region. I1 nous semblait par- fois evoluer avec des compatriotesg une certaine ambiance d'amenite nous pene- trait profondement jusqu'a nous faire penser meme qu'il etait peut-etre dans les vues de la Providence ce fameux exocle de l'epoque de la Confederation. Tout en faisanr le malheur d'une contree, il constituait dans une autre d'importants grou- pes de catholiques romains qui n'ont pas are etrangers, nous le pensons du moins, a la creation de certains dioceses. Aux seniors,' de l'an prochain, nous disons, bien convaincus: vous etes des chanceux, vous arrivez a tempsg un beau programme de langue frangaise vous at- tend comme couronnement de vos etudes, allez a lui avec votre meilleure bonne volonte. Les Seniors de '42 U Page 42 XX X X Ms V . . . - for Victory Out of the chaos of this gigantic conflict which pits one half of the world against the other, one thought emerges as a beacon to beckon the harassed peoples to renewed efforts, to new sacrifices-victory. After the past long months of fighting, the dire privations to which they are subjected, they are faced with more suffering, greater restrictions, heavier sacrifices. There is needed an ideal to inspire the weary nations: they find it in the thought of victory. For the Axis powers and their leaders, victory means territorial agrandize- ment, room for expansion, outlet for surplus population, sources of raw material, markets for finished products, but above all the Axis powers seek the establish- ment of the new order . This term camouflages the intention of bringing the conquered territories and peoples under the regime that obtains in Germany, where the people live for the state and only as the state allows them. No sort of freedom is recognized or allowed the individual. He is denied the essential rights of, free speech, free press, and free worship. The abominable practices to which racism has led are a retrogression. to the darkest ages of paganism. The Allied Nations seek victory toog but for us, it is self-defense against aggrcssiong it is the fight to keep the homeland free from invasiong it is the pre- servation of what we have been taught to hold dearest, our freedom as nations and as individuals. Too late have we realized the stark menace of Hitlerism! Too many people still fail to realize it. Our President rightly said last year, that our first line of defense is in Europe. The boundless ambition of modern dictators does not stop at the natural frontiers that limited that of the conquerors of antiquity. Served by the modem inventions, they know no limits but those of the world. The sooner they are halted, the better. Everyone should now be ready to sacrifise the comforts of life for some time, in order to be spared the indefinite period of slavery that is bound to follow an Axis triumph. The ideals of the democracies, as set out by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in the Atlantic Charter are well worth striving for. They re- present thc flower of civilization against the destructive forces of hate and am- bition. Let us all get our shoulder to the wheel and work hand in hand for the final triumph of right. Paul de Villers '42 0 Page 43 0 Page 44 Buy Defense Stamps and Bonds Speech delivered by Paul deVillers, class '42, at the 12th Anniversary Celebration Programme of the Franco American Radio Hour , May 6th, 1942, in Ste. Anne's Auditorium, Fall River. Ladies and Gentlemen, We cannot fight this war, we cannot exert our maximum effort on a spend-as-usual basis. We cannot have all we want if our soldiers and sailors are to have all they need 2 EFENSE .y A BUY UNITED STATES SAVINGS , norms ANDSTANPS XM .. . . ,gr fx g isu., With this ringing call to rigid self-denial, President Roosevelt sounded the death-lcnell of that too prevalent complacency which still characterizes the attitude of far too many civilians, at this advanced stage of our participation in the war. To give point and meaning to his appeal for Spartan living , the President has proposed a seven-point program, before Congress, embracing, FIRST, in- creased taxes, to keep personal and corporate profits at a reasonable rate, the word 'reasonable' being defined at a low level g SECOND, ceiling prices af- fecting all classes of buyers and sellers, THIRD, stabilization of wages in in- dustry, FOURTH, stabilization of prices in agricultureg FIFTH, encouragement of citizens to buy Wat Bonds with their earnings, instead of using those earnings to buy articles which are not essential, SIXTH, rationing of essential commod- ities and their fair distribution among consumersg SEVENTH, discouragement of credit and installment buying, and encouragement of paying off of debts, mortgages and obligations. If and when this legislation is enacted we shall all be affected by most of its provisions. Let us shoulder the new burdens with patriotic courage and face increased sacrifices with a confident smile, secure in the knowledge that we arc doing our bit at home to help the boys at the front. Before any of these proposals is vested with the power of law, we are all in a position to carry out item five: the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. Said Mr. Roosevelt, enlarging upon this point: . . .I hope for a magnificent response. .. Every dime and dollar not vitally needed for absolute necessities shoulcl go into War Bonds and Stamps to add to the striking power of our armed forces. Fall Rivet has already gone a long way in the purchase of Stamps and Bonds. . . But there still lies ahead a long struggle to make this world safe for democracy and the freedoms we cherish. Fall River has sent many of its sons to fight on the world's far-flung battle fronts. . . Soon it will be sending us younger men. . . And proudly shall we go. Those who remain at home must fight in this Struggle with Stamps 4 they must win the Battle with Bonds. ' Page 45 X G?
