U Eg IW , LJ 1 1 L I j THE 1960 Bernardian Presented by the SENIOR CLASS f R3 X 3, XA vff ffm N 9 -J Q L 1449 St. Bernard's High School is located about half way up the hill on Harvard Street, between Harrison Avenue and Summer Street. On the school campus are two convents, both adjoining each other on Summer Street. The older convent, Mt. St. Mary's, is at the corner of Harvard Street, and the other, at the corner of Goodrich Street. These two convents accommodate the twenty-two Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who teach in the high school. November 21, the feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin in the temple, is observed each year by the Sisters. Although we may have heard often, the account of the founding of the order, the sacrifice of a heroic woman bears repeating: Nano Nagle was born in lreland during the reign of George I. As a Catholic education for Nano was impossible under the existing Penal Laws, her parents sent her to France to complete her education. Nano Nagle did not return to Ireland when her school days ended but remained in Paris and became a part of the gay society of that city and of the Royal Court of Louis XV. But she thought often of her own poor people back in lreland, and strengthened by God's grace, she broke forever with the world of pleasure, and returned home to devote the remainder of her life to the poor. In spite of the Penal laws which forbade Catholic education and harshly punished viola- tors of this law, Nano rented a room and be- gan instructing poor children. Her evenings were spent in visiting the homes of the poor and in instructing working girls. Her entire fortune was spent on the poor. Soon other heroic women volunteered their services and more and more rooms rented to take care of the children. To perpetuate such work, a religious community was necessary. In spite of the laws against such a community, Nano took the first steps for such a founda- tion, and in 1775, opened the first convent of her order. Today her Sisters are to be found not only in lreland, but in England, Newfound- land, Australia, India, and the United States. In 1886, the Sisters of the Presentation opened their first school in Fitchburg. 3 Our St. Bernard, a most devoted fol- lower of Mary, the Mother of God, re- minds us of her great love for us: Whoever you are, if you would not be overwhelmed by the tempest, keep your eye on this Star's clear shining. If the hurricane of subtle temptation rise against you, call upon our Queen, Mary. In danger, in difficulty, or in doubt, think of Mary, call upon Mary. It you follow her, you will never go astray. lf you pray to her, you will never need to despair. If she hold you, you will never be weary. If she keep you, you will reach home at last. . 'W 2 5 yrcshman Days Turn back, Father Time, the hands of your clock, Which for three years never stopped its tick-tock, As we iourneyed on through frosh, soph, iunior year, And now into senior days with graduation so near. List now to the history of a famous class, Come with us as we from day to day pass, Reviewing each Step we trod along the way, Until we have reached the summit of today. Alma Mater was beginning its thirtieth year, When two hundred seventy-six of us drew near, And studied assigned lists on portables six, For no one we knew his homeroom ever picks. ln the Declamations sixty-eight of us took part, All learning selections so thoroughly by heart, Representing us in the intra-class preliminary, Were classmates John Moryl and Joyce Catalini, ln Harvey, the alleschool play our class did well, With thespians Bizzotto, DeBonis, O'Neill, Gowell, As were also Bakstran and Mullahy in the musical show, Together with Sandra Bissonnette and Mary J. Costello. SBHS orchestra benefited by our musical ability- Donald Daddario, Claire Goguen, Rosalind Tourigny, Added respectively trumpet, accordion, and violin To an orchestra sure in any contest a prize to win, At football, under Coach Garvey, we took our place, Bourque, Cascio, Gerow, Goguen, Horgan, John Mace, Laino, Pete LeBlanc, Fran Smith, Jim Nowd, McGuirk, Trottier, Weymouth-never did stiff training shirk. Although but freshmen we made the Christmas play- St. Nicholas and the Crown -we are glad to say, In the cast were boys Brisebois, Turcotte, Hurley, Girls-Caisse, Kemp, Gowell, Walsh, Pervier, Pelkey. At frosh basketball, FHS and ND hoopsters to us bowed To Captain Lewis, Bourque, Cascio, Gerow, and Nowd, Goguen, Dave Leger, Roger LeBlanc, Roy, Trottier, Mace, Under Coach McNamara we frosh champs set the area pace As Blue and Gold contributors these names we met, M. Mattila, A. Rossi, Fran Smith, Carolyn Gaudet. Daniel Hurley a S25 Bond in essay contest won, And elected C.Y.C. historian was our Jerry Horgan. These frosh girls nipped the sophs at softball- Angelini, Beaulac, Bissorinette, Buckley, Duval, Capone, Cormier, DeBonis, Dufort, Farnsworth, Earley, Duguay, Finneron, Gaillardet, Girard, Girardin, Catalini. Frosh boys persevering to end in baseball practice- Mike Bourque, Mike Cascio, Bob Gerow, Richie Lewis, Gary Goguen, Jerry Horgan, Pete LeBlanc, John Mace, Jim Nowd, Ken Weymouth-each doing well in his place At the end of the year we bade farewell to headmaster, Father Bernard J. Conlin, assigned now to Westminster, To St. Edward's to be its pastor and spiritual guide, After six devoted years at SBHS and ever at her side. As a class our attendance record was most exemplary, For fifty-one of us from school missed never a day, Neither were tardy marks entered against our name, So the following contributed much to our class fame: Diana Angelini Kathleen Bernard Nancy Bosworth Gerard Bourque Noreen Buckley Jeanne Charette Edward Corcoran Annette Cormier Bonnie DeBonis Janice Dufort Denise Dufresne Carol Duguay Elizabeth Duval Joan Finneron Mary Fletcher Carol Girardin Helen Gonville Nancy Gowell June Hayes Linda Hebert Dorothy Karkutt Judith Landry Ronald LeBlanc Annette Leger Linda Leger Richard Lewis JoAnn Mamone Ann Marrama Carol Marrone Nancy McDonald Thomas McGuirk Linda Membrino Margaret Montesion Mary Mullahy Judith O'Neill Joseph Pellegrini Lucille Proteau Nancy Regan Judith Richard Carol St. Cyr Patricia Sears Francis Smith Barbara Stebbins Joyce Tremblay Kenneth Weymouth Roger LeBlanc Lucille Menard 'fl jp- fr Q ' :SV ,ew - W-L -JV F :SN E D cv: 73:1 ,. qv, , X., H ard 5212 ,.y, .J .UQ 10 f fa cw- f 'I-r, . 1 'fx n J x Ly' 2Si3lT ?'1 f I, 1 'J u F :Q ,E Q .,. .,., . , 'iw w u.Q I 4 ,f fi ,, argafff' Ta?

Each of our parishes has tor its spe- cial patron Jesus Christ, His Blessed Mother, or one of the saints. St. Ber- nard, in a letter to his sister, exhorts her to follow in the footsteps of the saints, whose example rouses the courage of sinners and fortities the courage of the iust. Their falls and repentance keep the sinner from despairing ot forgive- ness, for he can be confident that the hand of God which drew them back from the precipice is at all times ready to give aid if implored with humility. 52 ST LEO S Paul Malo Joan McCarty Keith McManus Michael McDonald Nancy Regan Mary Scanlon Patricia Sears Francis Smith 3 fy Sf' sf' S ST.

Our goal should be to make more right and beautiful the worship of God in our own parish church, especially that greatest act of wor- ship - the holy sacrifice of the Mass, at which we should assist by following with a Missal. Those who contribute in a special way to the promo- tion of worship are the altar boys, the ushers, the girls and women who care for the altars, the flowers, the linens, and the vestments, those who contribute to the support of the church according to their means. Parish organizations should be actively engaged ing assistance given to the orphan, the poor, the sick, the aged, the Propagation of the Faith and other mis- sion groups generously supported. Vocations to the priesthood and religious life should be encouraged. 3 ff ,0 s 1.4, L7 The parish, our supernatural family, is our closet neighbor , next. to our own natural family. We are expected to carry Christ into our parish life, to be alert to every source to attain this goal. To point out these sources to us, Christ came to earth to be the way, and the truth, and the life: Uohn 14:61. Christ gives the layman the duty of cooperating with the parish priest in the building up of the parish, both spiritually and mat- erially. These senior girls are actively en- gaged in the Confraternity of Chris- tian Doctrine. Not only do they teach religious truths to the child- ren of their own parish, but in true apostolic spirit, embrace other parishes where their services are needed: Judith Buskey Janice Dufort Judith Gaillardet Anne Kielty Charlotte Labonte Jane Lachance Mary Lawless Anita Leclerc Noreen Pelletier Nancy Regan 1 l.

The opening weeks of school were busy ones filled with such activi- ties as the diocesan declarnations, the all-school play, CYC week, foot- ball, rallies, etc, But in spite of these demands on time and energy, classes and hounevvork assignments still prevailed, and Bernies carried on with a smile as these brightfeyed seniors testify: Linda Leger takes advantage of a few minutes' respite to concentrate on that bookkeeping snag. Patricia Crowley, as French club officer, practices conversing in that tongue. Joe Laino, tries to put football in the back of his rnind, as he strcggles smilingly with that physics formula at the board in room 34.

Nancy Regan, at the close of a full school day, hur- ries off to her CCD class, Sheila Connors, a declafnation contestant, applies that art to the explaining of a Math IV problem, checked by Marion Bakstran, Michael Bourque, Carolyn Gaudet, and Jeanne LeBlanc. Carol Darrtina, Judith Landry, Ann Pelkey, Rosalind Tourigny, and Joyce Tremblay, having already received the lOO-Word award are how pressing forward to the l2O-words-a-rninute rnark in stenography. In the New Testament are found these references to Mary, the Mother of God, to whom St. Bernard and our Bishop in his motto, Respice ad Mariam, would have us always Look up to Mary. Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, 'Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women . . . Do not be afraid, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.' . . . Mary said, 'Behold the hand- maid of the Lord, be it done to me, according to thy word.' Now in those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town of Juda. And she entered the house of Zachary . . . And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb!' . . . And Mary said: 'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit reioices in God my Savior.' Now it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a. decree from Caesar Augustus that a census of the whole world should be taken. And Joseph went from Galilee out of the town of Nazareth into Judea to the town of David-to register, together with Mary his espoused wife, who was with child. And it came to pass while they were there, that the days for her to be delivered were fulfilled. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds in the same district living in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them . . . and said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy . . . for there has been born to you today in the town of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord . . . So they went with haste, and they found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger . . . But Mary kept in mind all these words, pondering them in her heart. Behold, there came Magi from the East to Jerusalem saying, 'Where is the newly born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him.' . . . And behold, the star that they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over the place where the child was. And entering the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they worshipped him. But when the Magi had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, 'Arise, and take the child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and remain there until I tell thee. For Herod will seek the child to destroy him.' So he arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew into Egypt. But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 'Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of lsrael.' So he arose and took the child and his mother, and went into the land of Israel . . . and settled in a town called Nazareth. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. And after they had fulfilled the days when they were returning, the boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem . . . After three days they found him in the temple and his mother said to him, 'Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold, thy father and l have been seeking thee sorrowing.' And he said to them, 'How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business.' And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subiect to them, and his mother kept all these things carefully in her heart. And on the third day a wedding took place at, Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now Jesus too was invited to the marriage, and also his disciples. And the wine having run short, the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.' And Jesus said to her, 'What would you have me do? My hour has not yet come.' His mother said to the attendants, 'Do what- ever he tells you.' Jesus said to them, 'Fill the iars with water.' And they filled them to the brim. And Jesus said to them, 'Draw out now, and take to the chief steward.' Now when the chief steward had tasted the water after it had become wine . . . he called the bridegroom, and said to him, 'Every man at first sets forth the goodwine, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is poorer. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.' This first of his signs Jesus worked at Cana of Galilee . . . After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren. Now there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold thy son.' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold thy mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his house. 'A . MONSIGNOR JOHN J. O'BRlEN Superintendent of.

C., the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was dedi- cated with impressive ceremonies. The history of this beautiful shrine goes back to the Sixth Coun- cil of Baltimore in 1846 when the assembled bishops chose the Blessed Virgin Mary to be the Patroness ofthe United States under the title of her Immaculate Conception - her preservation from original sin. In 1918, after World War I, Cardinal James Gibbons of Balti- more, sounded his rallying cry at a meeting of his fellow bishops: Now that we have overcome the dire peril which so long con- fronted us, let our gratitude take permanent shape. Let us begin soon and finish splendidly a great monument in honor of our Blessed Mother, whose intercession and protection our Christian world has implored for twenty centuries. Cardinal Gibbons directed attention to the people of Catholic France who fulfilled a national vow by the erection of a splendid basilica of the Sacred Heart on Montmartre, Paris. Excavations for our shrine began on September 18, 1922. Today the edifice is not yet complete, however, it is fully ready for serv- ices. lt is the largest church in the United States. Structural prin- ciples employed more than a thousand years ago were used in building the shrine. At the same time, it embodies electronic de- vices that are the very latest developed in their fields. .5-fs, .4 E 4' ' iff I X The Christmas program of SBHS was held on the morn- ing of December 23 in the school auditorium.

The Spirit of Christmas: The early books of the Bible are filled with the desire for a Savior who would come to save His people from their distress and misery. Listen to the prophet Isaiah as he gives voice to the Messianic desire. Isaiah: Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and His name shall be called Emmanuel. There shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse and a flower shall rise up out of his root and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him. And thou, Bethlehem, city of the Most High God, out of you shall come forth the Ruler in Israel. His origin is from the begin- ning, from the days of eternity, and he shall be magnified even to the ends of the earth.

You're the Blue and Gold. Re- gardless of how you fared down through the years, you've commanded a tremendous amount of respect. For one,thing, your student body always received a Class A rating for its loy' alty and enthusiasm. Your teams have always been well-conditioned and in most instances marvelously coached. You used to play Leominster on the gridiron. The last time, as a matter of fact, they humiliated by romping over you, 52 to O. But that was seven years. Since then, you've Mike Bourque, Richie Lewis, Bob Gerow, John Mace, Dennis Holman, Joe Laino, Pete LeBlanc, Gary Goguen, Jim Nowd, John Gallagher, Milton Morin, and Roger LeBlanc. You got a chance to become men the other day and you took advantage of it. You did it the hard way, too, com- ing from behind in the final period. Your win was somewhat of a curiosity as the deciding touchdown was tallied on what you and the coaches called the Leominster special play. You worked hard all last week get- ting ready for this one. Somebody in the press box creacked, as you ran onto the field to start the game, that you were being groomed to be executed. There was some iesting that whoever arranged the game should be arrested for cruelty. That's the kind of a chance everyone gave you. Your squad is small, you're outnumbered, but you positively refuse to be outfought. To- ward the end of the game, as a matter of fact, it was Leominster who was showing the greater signs of wear and tear. Your first action in the dressing room following the game, flopping to your knees as a unit in prayer, was impressive. Some of you laughed, some of you cried. You're at the top of the area football heap, at least for the moment. You've got a million little things to be proud of, the most ima portant of which is what the score- board said at the end, St. Bernard's lA, Leominster 8.

Touchdowns were scored by Mike Bourque, who had three, Richie Lewis and Bob Gerow. The first touchdown was scored by co-captain Lewis on an end sweep, A shortly after Milt Morin picked up a first down. Bourque added a first down with a run to the 11, Morin went to the four and John Gallagher ripped off M left tackle for what normally would have been a second TD only to have the play nullified by an offensive holding penalty. With the ball back on the 19-yard line, the Bernardians started all over again as Bourque passed to Gallagher on the two and then carried on a quarterback sneak for a legitimate tally. lt was 12-O when the period ended. Following a scoreless second period SBHS backfield drove deep into Assump- Pg' tion territory early in the third canto with Mike Bourque going over from the ' one-yard line. An aerial from Bourque to Gerow closed out the scoring, Bob outrunning the Assumption secondary on the 51-yard play. On October 3 at Doyle field, SBHS stunned area fans with a 14-8 upset over Leominster High, fashioning one of the biggest upsets in the recent history of North Worcester County football. On the first play Mike Bourque passed to Bob Gerow for 55 yards, putting the ball on Leominster's 28-yard line. A few plays later Milton Morin carried to the one-yard line, where Richie Lewis went in to score the first touchdown. Leominster however went ahead late in the second quarter. In the final canto Mike Bourque, Richie Lewis, Milton Morin, and John Gallagher, SBHS backfield, moved the ball from deep in their own territory to the 45-yard line of LHS.

Bourque quickly tossed to Gerow, who raced un- touched for the deciding score. Lewis scored the extra points and SBHS led 14-8. The strong defensive line kept LHS from gaining and we had possession at the final whistle. On October ll and on a rain-soaked gridiron, St. Peter's of Worcester battled SBHS to a 6 to 6 tie. Both touchdowns were scored in the opening period. We tallied first when Milton Morin raced into pay-dirt from the six-yard line, and received our first op- portunity to score by end John Mace falling on a Worcester bobble on his own 39. After we had been set back to the 37, it was Mike Bourque who got the ground back to the 21. Gallagher then carried to the 'I6 and Lewis to the six, and Morin from Bourque for the initial touchdown. Roger LeBlanc who did a great iob on defense and as a runner especially in game with Clinton High SBHS iniury-riddled team suffered the first loss of the 1959 season to Athol High, 36-14, on October l7 at the Bernardian Bowl. Forced to play without star quarterback and passer Mike Bourque, we depended heavily on Richie Lewis and John Gallagher who accounted for all of our points. On November 7 and on a muddy gridiron, SBHS de- feated Westboro High by a score of 20-6. Mike Bourque scored twice, while Milton Morin had one touchdown. John Gallagher converted for the extra points. Early in the second quarter Bourque tallied the game's initial touch- down after our team suffered the loss of Richie Lewis with a hip iniury. Jim Nowd, 37, who proved to be more than an adequate center, always played a fine game improving with each combat. Joe Laino, 38, who made rapid progress all through the season until at the Notre Dame game, he was by far the outstand- ing lineman on the field. f Ken Weymouth, -42, who did a fine iob in defensive at every game. Always ready with a ioke, he proved to be a tremendous asset by relieving the tension being built up by an oncoming foe. as Fran Smith, the great team-morale build- 'J' er, when sidelined for the season be- cause ot injury, the team lost a great halfback. October 31, on a rain-drenched field, Fitchburg High defeated SBHS 32-O. The Red and Gray completely domi- nated the play throughout by a powerful offensive attack, backed by a stout defense. November 14, and without the help of Bourque and Lewis, we defeated Clinton High 28-16. Bob Gerow opened the scoring for us by racing 12 yards to pay dirt with an intercepted pass early in the first period. Roger LeBlanc climaxed an 84-yard scoring march, adding an- other touchdown midway through the period. We scored our third TD of the quarter moments after end John Mace had recovered a Clinton fumble. Milt Morin scored the fourth TD and Roger LeBlanc: closed the scoring by rushing the extra points. Tony lacaboni, 41, who always provided as tough a campetition in practice as would be met with in any game, helped to win our biggest win of the season, LHS, by being the decoy for the winning touch- down play. Bob Gerow, 43, who gets the award for being the most-spirited boy on the squad, his plays both offensively and defensively left little to be desired as shown by his being voted the outstanding lineman on the team. Gary Goguen, 44, who in his first year on the squad was a pleasant w surprise, doing everything asked of him and doing it well. I November 22. at the Bernardian Bo.-.l SBHS retained the honor as City Catholic Champs by a 22-T8 victory over Notre Dame This game crave us the Rev. Michael J. Curran Trophy. Six thousand spectators witnessed the game. The Bourque-Lewis combination accounteo for the first score early in the opening period. We marched 74 yards for our first touchdown, all but 27 yards being accounted for on the wings of Bourque-to-Lewis aerials. Bob Gerow received the kick-off with John Gallagher, Lewis, and Morin carrying to the ND. 33. Richie Lewis, 24, co- captain and halfback, an outstanding runner and the best pass re- ceiver any high school could ever hope to haveg named the most valuable player in the Notre Dame game. John Mace 35, who did a great iob all season: but to be remembered always for his ftemen- dous defensive work in the Leominster game. Pete LeBlanc, 29 and Joe Laino 38, appear set to pounce on a Leominster fumble, Pete eventually recov- ered this third-period bobble. I28 5 v v 5 5' At the outset of the second canto Notre Dame traveled 70 yards in 13 plays for their first TD. Close to the end of the period Morin intercepted a pass bringing the ball to the N.D. 40. With time running out, signal-caller Bourque passed to Bernie LeClair, filling in for iniured John Mace, for 39 yards and our 2nd TD. With a fumble recovered by Morin, we prepared for our third and final touchdown. Lewis and Gallagher carried to the 4 yard line, and Morin pushed his way into the end zone. He then crashed through the line for the extra points.

Lewis, Leger, and Cormier led with 18, 13, and 12 points respectively. SBHS battled Leominster High down to the final period be- fore dropping a 64-60 decision, LHS led 17-11 at the end of the first period, but trailed 34-31 and A8-46 as the next two starizas closed. However in the final head, LHS outscored us 18-12. Cormier had 17 points, Lewis 15, and Leger 13. For the second time this season the clutch foul shooting of Captain Dave Lege. assured SBHS of a win over Notre Dame. With but five seconds left to play and SBHS trailing 61-60, Leg- er dunked two free throws to beat off a spectacular come- back 'by the Crusaders, 62-61, who although downed by as many as 26 points in the early going, actually passed us at the finish before Leger's heroics with five seconds remaining on the clock. Leger was high man with 21, Lewis with 13, Bourque 12, Cormier and LeBlanc 9. SBHS victory over FHS on February 12 was a thriller. During the early action, our boys roared to a 16-O lead and appeared well in command, But they had to stand off three driving rallies, the last of which saw the game tied with three seconds to go to pull the game out of the fire. Captain David Leger was the unquestioned hero for SBHS scoring 22 points and sinking the winning basket of the second overtime. Leger had also laid up the tying hoop as the buzzer sounderl to end the three-minute overtime period. Next to Leger was Richie Lewis and Ron Cormier with 17 points each.

Q 2' Aww. bf Mrs. .Mc Ching by Mary Chase and presented in New York City in T952 was selected to be the T960 senior class play. The play was a huge success despite the fact that each of the two casts had but two re- hearsals on the stage before the performances to the public on the evenings of February 26 and 28, in St. Bernard's High School audito- rium, which was painted and renovated from top to bottom. The audience not only enioyed the play but also a beautiful hall and comfortable new seats.

We made good time ar- riving at Mittersill Inn about 10:00 a.m. At 1:00 we had our first professional ski lesson. It took many falls and bumps to really get the idea of the snow-plow. On the morning of March 1, we were present at the Mass offered by Father Donahue and at which we received Holy Communion. After break- fast, we were again ready to challenge the moun- tains for another day of fun. Towards mid-after- noon, a tired group of boys and girls sat around the fire having had enough of skiing for the day. Soon it was time to change for dinner, after which we sang, talked, and played games. On March 2, we made the trip to the top of Cannon mountain at 20 below zero weather. n .4 ' ff' N 1 3? fi N it ., , ,,.,,5 4 f, sr. . We were scheduled to leave at 5 p.m., al- though we would have liked to stay longer. A stop was made at Concord, New Hamp- shire, for supper. We reached Fitchburg at 10:00 p.m. Father Donahue, Gary Goguen, Donald Selinga, Bob Gerow, Keith McManus, Dennis Fisher getting a few ski pointers. Liz Stanley, Nancy Gowell, Roberta Lavoie, Lucille Menard, Sheila Connors mastering the skiing art. Hot coffee never tasted better to Mary Jean Costello, Ken O'Connell, and chaperon Mrs. Bourque, Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Mullahy were also chaperons. ls The lOth annual SBHS Sci- ence Fair was held in the school gym, March 23-25.
