THE BERNARDIAN 1952 PRESENTED BY THE SENIORS OF ST. BERNARD'S HIGH SCHOOL FITCHBURG MASSACHUSETTS © = RG PUBLIC LIBRA ere nc G. MASS. path A modern school intrudes upona lovely rose garden. In the background are the old Page house, now the con- vent; the Cookman house, now the convent annex; and the garage, now the Home Economics Laboratory. Our school now stands where once roses bloomed in the Page garden, one of the show places of the city. But in 1926 a transformation took place in this lovely garden. No longer could the sing ing of birds and the buzzing of bees be heard, for now giant steamshovels were digging deep into the rich garden soil to make a strong foundation for a school which would shelter us 25 years later. Visitors today are amazed when told that our school has been built 25 years. The credit is due in part to SBHS pupils who take pride in their school and try to keep it in good condition; but most of the credit for its preservation should be attributed to Monsignor James J. Donnelly, who personally supervised the construction of the school and saw to it that only the best material and workmanship went into its building. RIGHT REVEREND. MONSIGNOR JAMES J.

NEW LAB FOR HOMEMAKERS The Home Economics deaprtment at last has a home all its own after many years as a sojourner here and there. It is again the story of great oaks from little acorns. For in the beginning the homemaking course was taught largely from a textbook as laboratory facilities were lacking. But even at this early stage, pupils were given some practical experience in sewing and cooking. A step forward was taken six years ago, when one electric sewing machine was acquired. When three machines were at the disposal of the girls, a major project was successfully inaugurated in dressmaking and homecraft work exhibiting sewing techniques as well as individual differences and good taste in choice of materials and patterns. But this year when the Cookman estate became a part of the school campus, Father Curran made a dream come true for members of the home economics class by renovating the Cookman garage to serve as an all- purpose Home Economics Laboratory. The garage would seem to have been built for just such a turnover. Its many cottage-type windows and many-paned wide doors give ideal opportunities to the girls for project work in interior decorating. The cement floor has been attractively covered with linoleum tile over plywood. The Foods Unit, which takes up a little more than one-third of the floor space, has sink and cabinets con- veniently arranged. It has already been equipped witha modern electric range, a gas range, and a frigidaire. The Clothing Unit takes up the remaining space and is equipped with six Singer electric sewing machines, electric irons, ironing boards, and cutting tables. Soon the Red Cross home nursing course will be under way. Already the beds and other nursing equipment have been taken down from the large loft of the lab, where they are stored when not in use. These girls agree that when you’re hungry, the kitchen table and dishes do very nicely. Besides, the best china has been attractively arranged on the cupboard shelves in preparation for the exhibit; so why upset them now, say Helen Garvey, Estelle Morneau, Rachel Raboin, Carol Goodchild, Corrine Devarennes, Sylvia Houle, and Angela Capone. During the past few years, the annual exhibition of work accomplished throughout the first semester by the home economics class was on display in the auditorium. But this year, the new Home Ec Lab was the scene of this activity. Stencil displays, skirts, blouses predomi- nated. There was a most attractive array of luncheon sets, aprons, skirts, and blouses of many colors, textures, and patterns, With the Clothing Unit finished for this year, the Foods Course for the second semester began with a bang —spa- ghetti, meatballs, and strawberry shortcake with cream. This luncheon was prepared and served by the girls. Completion of setting up of the first semester projects for exhibition bring forth smiles of pleasure and satisfaction from Sylvia Houle, Carol Goodchild, Corrine Devarennes, and Rachel Raboin, as they survey their handiwork, the fruit of many hours of labor. Helen Garvey, Estelle Morneau, and Angela Capone smile as they near the completion of their project. With pride and joy Arlene Lakutis, Anna Tocci, Gertrude Pichette, and Jacqueline Prince display { their beautifully stenciled luncheon sets done in patterns of jonquils, wild roses, cherries, and A apple blossoms. Jeannette McCluskey smiles in anticipation as she gives her culinary ability a first test in the electric oven. The new electric sewing machines, added to the Home Economics department this fall, were welcomed by all the members of the Home Economics class. The machines hummed along as the seamstresses -- Rachel Raboin, Theresa Rocheleau, Angela Capone, and Carol Goodchild vied with one another to com- plete their cover-all aprons, to be worn in the Foods and Home-Nursing courses. All aprons were made in uniform pattern of yellow broadcloth with a stenciled monogram on the large pocket. In the FOODS CLASS, Alyce Finn and Joan Perreault prepare to put into practice one of its first rules -- “Serve hot foods hot, and cold foods cold.” Rita Goguen gives a smile of satisifaction as she presses the seams of her first apron. “Masters in the Art!” Barbara O’Connor, Arlene Lakutis, Jac- queline Prince, Anne O’Connor, and Joan LeBlanc demonstrate the various Steps in cutting a stencil. Martha Doheny acquires an expression of Seriousness as she works diligently on her first homeworking project. BLUE and GOLD Our school paper, the BLUE and GOLD will again enter the contest for school newspapers to be held at Columbia University. Six members of the staff will participate in this annual convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for editors and advisers of school newspapers and magazines at Columbia on March 13-14-15. Carol Barber will conduct a round-table on the subject of book reviews; Jeanne Bernatchez on the nexus between stories and editorials; Jane Cannon will give a talk on interviews; and Catherine Hannigan and Mary Keane will act as chairmen of sectional meetings. We hope that our fine school paper will con- tinue to maintain the first-place Columbia rating which it has held in the past four consecutive contests. March 15 will tell the story, This quartette -- Mary Keane, Catherine Han- nigan, Jeanne Bernatchez, Carole Barber -- can always be depended upon to do fine yeoman work. Maintains first-place rating for fifth consecutive year Jeanne Bernatchez and Carole Bar- ber, co-editors, take their respon- sibility seriously. , With keen, alert eyes, Bernard Hickey, Stephen Gilmartin, Ronald Ingalls, and Robert Legendre look over the dummy. Jane Cannon, Catherine Hannigan, Mary Keane do a good job in cutting the galleys. at Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia, New York The new staff look over the first issue of Vol. 10 with critical eye. Future secretaries, re Doris Peloquin, Corinne Donel Constance Boudreau, Josephine DiNatale, and Nancy Bergeron realize that they’ll need many more lessons and many more hours of practice before they become proficient at the mimeoscope. FUTURE SECRETARIES The mimeograph has been a faithful adjunct of SBHS during these many years, and still continues to work long and laborious hours without a break- down. After running off a few hundred copies, Marie Chevrette will without doubt heartily en- ii ip dorse the purchase of an electric mimeograph, although Doris Gagne and Mary Occhipinti are are standing ready to turn the drum when Marie gets tired. soe Necly Tost ene orn s Laino ome feanne Tourigny As juniors, present commercial students of ’52 looked with admiration at the speed records made by the seniors of ’51-such speeds as 50, 60, 65.

In the upper right-hand corner, Cecile Smith and Nancy Bergeron are checking the prog- ress Of their class; while Carole Boyce, Marie Chevrette, and Lucille Craite are trying to beat their present high records. Transcribing a mailable letter from your own shorthand notes may look easy when you see somebody else doing it, but this senior group beginning transcription will tell you that it is not as easy as it looks.

Essay winners: SEATED -- Corinne Donelle, Marilyn Kelly, Veronica Tarr, Marguerite Sullivan. STAND- ING: James Grady, Ronald Blais, Peter McGuirk, John Nourie, James Sweeney, David Lavin, Wayne Benton.

This award will be presented at the graduation exer- cises. The boys eligible for this award must have served Mass fora certain period. Pronunciation of the Latin and ability to set up the altar for Mass and to arrange the Missal will be carefully con- sidered. Because of their essays on “What Fitchburg Industry Means to Me,” these Bernardians had a few wel- come dollars to spend for Christ- mas shopping. The top winners — Ronald Blais, David Lavin, James Sweeney, and John Nourie — were also heard over WEIM onaspecial radio program. Wayne Benton of ’53 won the local Crosley award amounting to $400, for the best essay of 50 words on the subject “What the American Way of Life Means to Me.” “Congratulations, Ronnie!” Ronald Ingalls ’52 was elected to repre - sent 850 Bernardians at Good Government _Day to be held at the State House in Boston, Friday, March 14. Ronald is a high-ranking student in the technical course and also is most active in decla- mation, journalism, and dramatics. His runner-up in the election was David Pandiscio, whose genial smile and friendly handclasp were not withheld from Ronnie. Lucille Craite, a high honor commer- cial student, will without doubt be the winner of the Becker College Key of 1952 at SBHS., Lucille has all the qualifications necessary for success in the secretarial field. “as og, VA A Tsien, 44 BERNARDIAN Biography Committee: SEATED -- Carole Barber, Mary Keane, Anne Markham, Jane Cannon, Doris Leger, Janet Demers, Jeanne Bernatchez.

GERMAN CLUB If German has not been taught at SBHS for several years, it is not be- cause it is the wish of the faculty and students but because a cClass- room has not been available. Seniors welcomed the return of the German Club in October of this year and many enrolled as members, Club meetings have centered largely around the ac- quiring of a speaking vocabulary of everyday German expressions, and a study of German folkways and culture. German Club officers: Robert Bow- en, president; Mary Keane, vice- president; Ann Desnoyers, secretary; and Shaun Scanlon, treasurer, The INTERNATIONAL CLUB is one of the latest clubs to be formed at SBHS. Members of ’52 responded with alacrity to the call to enlist in this very worthy club, which has for its motive a better understanding and a more Christian spirit in inter- national relations. Through panel discussions, round tables, symposiums, and forums, members discussed the histories and present-day economic and social con- ditions of many countries, especially those with ‘which our history is so closely bound. SEATED: Ann Markham, vice-president; Edward Walsh, president. STANDING: Catherine Hannigan, secretary; and Michael Horgan, treasurer. LIBRARY CLUB During the past year, the Library Club has been very active, as evidenced by the fol- lowing activities: the weeding-out process in our school library; field trips to the Fitch- burg Public Library; gigantic book sale; send- ing of books to missions; acquisition of new books and magazines; big paper drive; “March of Pennies” drive to secure twenty-volume set of the “World Book Encyclopedia” set on book mobile; weekly club meetings. Library Club officers: Raymond Bonitz, Concetta Romano, Raymond Charette, Ann Desnoyers.

Senior members of the Italian Club talk over I PROMESI SPOSI which they readin class in second-year Italian. Although they find the translation very difficult they do enjoy it. Shown in the picture are Francis Pan- discio, who doesn’t care too much to read aloud in Italian, then Richard Maggi who enjoys reading Italian aloud. Albert Averso prefers the points of grammar; Catherine Bottazzi, and Mary Occhipinti like both grammar and literature, Anthony D’ Agostino stands way out front in the study of Italian and will carry off the Italian prize this year. Josephine Di- Natale and Theresa DiPietro worked up to honor roll rating and George Giacoppe enjoyed Italian so much that he wrote his Italian compositions partly in Latin! Junior members of the Italian class talk it over while they walk over the campus at SBHS one sunny morning in early fall. They are, left to right, Albert Brazili, who is the life of the Italian class; Rose- marie Boniface, who enjoys every activity, curricular and extracurricular; Joan Mc- Manus, who enjoys fun and people; and Anthony DiRusso, who rates first in Ital- ian scholarship. SCIPIONIC CIRCLE Ordinarily, the junior Latin pupils have been content to sit back and let the seniors practically take over the Latin club and its activities. But this year, members of the junior Cicero class decided to organize a club of their own -- the Scipionic Circle. The following officers were elected: Bernard McGuirl, president; Sally Bastarache, vice-president; Judith Murnik, secretary, and Anthony DiRusso, treasurer. Junior Spanish students organized their club early in the fall. Occasionally their youthful voices could be heard drifting out into the corridors as they sang some rhyth- mical catchy Spanish air. Below are pictured the officers of this club, From left to right are Janice Flynn, Arthur Lamothe, Paul Hanney, and Lois Mulkeen.

The big event was the organization of the drama club for the coming year, and one of the first steps taken was an election of officers for the club, The leaders chosen were: Robert Stocking, president; Roseann McCue, vice-president, Jean Lachapelle, secretary; and Charles Burnell, treasurer, A few days after this meeting on Sep- tember 24, Robert Stocking was elected president of the Central Massachusetts Drama Association at a joint meeting of the drama club officers of Fitchburg High, Leominster High, and SBHS. During October the various dramatic clubs were busy preparing for the one-act plays to be given early in November. Plays and casts were finally chosen and rehear- sals began. Large audiences witnessed the splendid presentation of these plays in the high school auditorium on the evening of November 13 and 14. SEATED: Roseann McCue,NJean Lachapelle.

VENITE ADOREMUS “Venite Adoremus” was the name of the Christmas play we planned to present Friday morning, December 21, in our own auditorium. We left school Thursday with stage, cos- tumes, and accessories, all ready for the performance the next morming, when Father Curran would be our guest of honor. The no-school signal is always a welcome sound but not on a day before Christmas vacation; especially when we have a play all prepared, and only a short school session. But regardless of how we felt, the no-school signal did sound because of the snow storm and so we had no school and no play. We were glad when we did return to school after New Year’s to know that we would have our Christmas play on the eve of the Epiphany or Little Christmas. With all the ex- ternal excitement of the Christmas holidays over, we were better able to enter into the spirit of the play which centered around the birth of our Savior. Francis Pandiscio, our class president, gave the address of welcome. Elaine Sullivan, our vice-president, was to have spoken on “The Spirit of Christmas.” Ronald Ingalls was the announcer, and the prelude participants were: Nancy Buckley, Paula Murray, Theresa Zungola, Muriel McGinley, Theresa Plourde, Mary Ann Barbaro, Audrey Bowen, Simone Allaire, Joyce Hassett, Anna Lanigan, Shirley Rivers, Carol Viau, and Barbara Ficarra. Robert Flynn and James Picone were in charge of decorations and pageant ensemble. The student body sang Christmas carols, the old favorites. The auditorium and entrances were still festively decorated and the Bethlehem star still lighted the crib on the balcony. As soon as the play was over, Father Curran arose and addressed the student body. His remarks were inspiring and interesting, especially his words recalling the celebration of Christmas and Epiphany in the old basilicas of Rome when he was a student there over fifty years ago.
