Sophomores On September 30, panel discussions were held in soph- omore English classes on the subject, ‘“Mental and Physical Recreational Activities in Fitchburg and Leominster.” This fifth period group with John Doyle, Estelle Morneau, Michael Crowley, Patrick Weith, and Ann Markham as speakers was judged the best group. World History pupils keep posted on world affairs by subscribing to current events papers, and use of world maps. In Coach Ronayne’s class, William Durkin checks on the correctness of Richard DeBarge’s location. BORROWED TAILS Seated: Bernard Hickey, Doris Gagne, Mary Keane, Sue Scachetti, Alice Finn, Jeannette Cormier. Standing: Walter Paton, Elaine Sullivan, Catherine Hannigan, Edward Lavery, Jane Cannon, Ann Progin. In play, but not in picture, James Picone. Yvette Dufour proudly dis- plays the placard testifying to the loyalty of her home room in being 100% in supporting the football team by each pur- chasing a season ticket. It pays to have a rally.

Freshmen Now that we are seniors, we look down from our lofty heights in the main building to the ‘“coops” below and reminisce on the days when we first came to SBHS and wandered like 280 bewildered chicks from coop to coop. History marches on . . . from primitive man to 1700 A. D. In Room 41, Arlene Richards tells the story of the centuries on the chro- nological chart, in picture form. Taking part in this active discussion are left to right: Mary Jane Lilly, Mary McNally, Arlene Richards, John O'Connor, and Edward Kuk- kula. Science appeals to our present freshmen as it did to us, especially experiments and the use of such in- struments as the microscope, which (left to right) Gerard Basque, John Pinder, Wailliam Harbour, Rene Bertrand, James Grimley, Richard Whittemore, Matthew Bryce, and John O'Neil are using in Room 42.

PRESS THE “STRONCH LD or THE CHORE All during the month of February, Catholic Press Month, our energetic sophomores were working on a very worthwhile project. This was to make the Catholic Press, which our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII has called “His Voice,’ better known and tread. The sophs did this by means of very original and colorful posters which were displayed in Room 34 and also throughout the building. Magazine racks also appeared containing Catholic magazines for which subscriptions were solicited. But the climax was reached on February 21, when a play entitled, “Defense of the Catholic Press’? was presented, and in which over sixty sophomores took part. We seniors were amazed at the poise and self-assurance of these little sophs who fearlessly faced their large audience and spoke clearly and forcefully without any apparent knock- ing of the knees as we ourselves have at times experienced under similar circumstances.
