The Spirit of ‘76 was one of courage, determination, and grit, With many dangers at every turning of the road to be traveled— How could unity be achieved when not only miles separated but Also differences in religion, customs, habits, and temperaments? Overcoming these and other obstacles in the struggle for freedom, Americans showed the world that there could be unity in diversity. Our American heritage is one to be proud of and very challenging. To our founding fathers, freedom was both priceless and fragile, And they told us to always treat and cherish it with great care. FITCHBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY FITCHBURG, MASS. Contents Looking back Senior Candids Administration Faculty ‘75 Portraits Activities Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Supporters Leading the three horsemen riding into the little college town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, on July 7, 1775, was Georg Washington, the Virginian, now in charge of the Continental army. Washington, from the very beginning, set about to discipline his little army of about fourteen thousand. His was no easy tas) and during his first few weeks in Cambridge, he did not hide his dislike for the New Englanders with their blunt, arrogant, in| dependent, argumentative ways. But Minister Emerson who daily visited the cam) could soon write: “There is great overturning in camp as to order and regularity .. Everyone is made to know his place and keep it.” In a few months Washington was better disposed toward the New Englanders Working together, the man from Virginia and the men from New England had bi their combined efforts and deft maneuvers driven the British out of Boston wit! almost no bloodshed. : What won New England’s heart, was not only Washington’s manly, military ap pearance and leadership qualities but especially his utter devotion to the Cause. Thi devot ion is best summed up ina letter he wrote to a general having trouble with can tankerous New Englanders and on the verge of resigning: ‘When is the time for bray men to exert themselves in the cause of liberty and their country, if this is not? Shouk any difficulties ... deter them? ... We must bear up against them, and make the bes of mankind as they are; since we cannot have them as we wish.” | During the cold winter of 1775-76, Henry Knox of Boston, succeeded in transport ing 60 tons of the most useable artillery captured from the British at Fort Ticonderog by Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. | The cannon that had traveled over 300 miles of snow-covered moutains, frozei rivers,and muddy forests finally came to rest on the hills surrounding Boston Harbor Unable to reach the American’s position from land or sea, Howe and his Britis! troops quietly boarded the ships on March 17, 1776, ready to sail from the harbor, Knox and his men had often been discouraged by the challenges that faced them é almost every turn of the road. Crossing the Berkshire Mountains proved the mos hazardous. Another big opponent was the weather. Warm winds caused the snow t melt and mud and slush beneath the runners of the sleighs made the going slow an) difficult. When the oxen drivers from New York became homesick, Knox let ther return home. But the local citizens came to his aid with a fresh supply of animals an) hired drivers to continue the journey. When the time came for Washington to choose officers for the United State government, Henry Knox was his choice for Secretary of War. July 2, 1776 was hot and sultry in Philadelphia. In spite of a sudden deluge, nearl) fifty delegates already filled the meeting room. The day before showed only nine © the colonies in favor of independence. Congress was out for a unanimous vote as an} disunity could weaken the enterprise. Hopes were high when the vote rose to twelv: in favor. Delaware alone was undecided. Then came a rattle of horse’s hoofs over thi cobblestones and Delaware’s third delegate entered, soaking wet, mud-spattered, an¢ fatigued after having ridden all night. A handkerchief covered the lower part of hii face, afflicted by cancer. “The thunder and rain delayed me,” he said mater-of-factly After his vote in favor, the colonies took the step that severed their 169-year-old po litical ties with England, proclaiming that they are, “and of right ought to be, free and independent states.” On July 4, the Congress endorsed a Declaration that stated the colonies’ many reasons for leaving the mother country. John Hancock, the man from Massachusetts, was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. The other members of Congress would sign later. It was a big risk as those who signed could be hanged for treason.

It was also known is the Turtle as it could dive under water and attack by surprise. It struck with an explosive device which its creator named a orpedo. Franklin inspected the Turtle and praised it to Washington who later described -as “an effort of genius.” 1776—With General Howe threatening New York, a great engineering project was � 9pardized—a plan to provide a public water system for all of the 22,000 inhabitants of Jew York City. Except for a few wealthy citizens who had had wells dug in their back ardens, New Yorkers got their water from public pumps. But this water was so yrackish, that even horses of out-of-town strangers would not drink it. 1776—The small pox, a dread disease extremely contagious and often fatal, deterred Vashington from trying to fight his way into Boston. He said: “If we escape the small Ox in this camp it will be miraculous.” And John Adams remarked, ‘’The small pox is 2n times more terrible than Britons, Canadians, and Indians together. This was the cause f our retreat from Quebec; this the cause of our disgraces.” _ But now there appeared a highly dangerous treatment, inoculation. Puss from a blister n an infected person was placed directly into the blood stream of a healthy one. For ver 50 years the Turks had resisted small pox by such inoculation but in Boston, the ity’s leading physician denounced inoculation as a heathen practice. That this treat- rent was effective was proven when only 6 out of 286 people inoculated died in an pidemic. 1776—Questions about electricity were much in the air and reports of experiments ere published such as Franklin demonstrating with his kite that electricity could be rawn from the sky. But what was electricity and what caused it? Would electricity ever ave any useful purpose? 1776—On the distant coast of the Pacific, 193 Spanish colonists from Mexico pitched Neir tents at a large bay, which they named San Francisco. To the American colonists far way California was a rough and desolate place, hardly worth settling, as there was no old there. 1776—Caught short without an aide, Colonel Champion asked his daughter Deborah, 3, to ride the 100-plus miles from New London through enemy lines to Washington’s eadquarters in Cambridge. After some anxious moments and experiences, Deborah got irough to Washington and delivered the payroll and dispatches. 1776—America’s first WAC was Deborah Sampson, a husky farm worker. Hearing the ews of the battles of Lexington and Concord, she made herself a set of men’s clothes and nlisted. Her army service was distinguished by her courage and despite two wounds, it yas not until she fell seriously ill that her secret was revealed. Congress later gave her a yidier’s pension. 1776—Delegate John Adams was by no means pleased when his spirited wife, Abigail, r ote him in terms less than dutiful: “In the new code of laws ... I desire you would 2member the ladies. If particular care and attention is not paid us, we are determined to yment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no pice.” John responded to his wife’s “saucy” request with his usual firmness: “As to your ex- ordinary code of laws, I cannot but laugh ...... The delegates know better than to peal our masculine systems and would fight the despotism of the petticoat.” [wo hundred years ago in 1776 our nation took a most momentous step. So, it was with us, four years ago, when we wer the entering FROSH. — i an — = = Ze — © = a a = 7, a = ea DN ra a ea = ca za ea!

Love is expressed in many ways, and we hope that through this dedication we can show you some measure of our gratitude. We owe much of what we are today as a class to you, Mr. Nicastro. You have stood by us, and guided and supported us for four years. The easiest thing in the world is to give up and move on. However, you have firmly held to your beliefs, and tried to instill values in us. To some, you may be just another teacher, but to this class you are a friend. We realize that it is hard to thank anyone for things such as those which you have given to us, but thanks just the same—for being YOU, being a friend, and for being there when we needed you.

A typical day’s rations would be something like this: 1 pound of fresh beef or salt fish; 3 4 pound of pork; or 20 ounces of salt beef; 1 pound of bread and 1 pint of milk. In 1776, it cost 11 cents for all this. Contrast these rations with this lunch pictured in our cafeteria on an ordinary school day: fruit juice, a big juice sloppy-joe roll; green beans, milk, and dessert.

Although The Bicentennial theme was much in evidence, there were also many native dances from different countries all over the world. Modern trends also found their way into the performance such as “We Beseech Thee, Hear Us” from Godspell, and “Mother Freedom.” The Charleston with sixteen seniors, was a big favorite. f Bernies Present | International_ Fair! Included also in the evening’s entertainment of dancing were organ selections by Thomas Creed; Chopin’s “Military Polonaise” by Paul Roy; and “Malaguena,” a trumpet solo, by Andre Jacques. The guitarist was Norman Garneau. Janet Brousseau, Cheryl Dauphi Karen Fluet, and Carol Masse formed a singing quartet. Taking part in the skits were Mary Ann Aubuchon, Daniel Do Craig Driscoll, Rita Godin, Kathy Kelly, John McGrail, B Siciliano, and David Woodcome. a wae’ With the emphasis on the country look today—Jeans, bandanas, calicoes, checks and polka dots—square dancing is being revived. Teenagers of ’76 have rediscovered a colorful kind of dancing. Gr They are becoming familiar with the sing-song chant: “Allemand left with your left hand. Now back to your partner.

In the Southern colonies, every plantation house had its large ballroom and there were frequent fancy dress balls. Dancing teachers were much in demand as is evidenced by the ads in early newspapers, although there were instances where they were driven out of town by the authorities. 4 x2 5 i) 2 ; | | The dancing master not only taught the steps of the popular dane¢ of the time but also the social graces. Such instruction was deemed { be of great value in convincing Europeans that Americans were uncouth barbarians. As the pioneers gradually moved West, they took their dances wi them and from these evolved the square dances of the rugged fro tier. These were suited to the musical instruments available and co be held in almost any cabin or around any campfire.

After a fumble recovery on the opponent's 11-yard line, David Farnsworth went over and Alex Cruz booted the extra point for a 7-0 edge. Cruz was again on target and the Bernies had a 14-0 halftime lead. Robert Sullivan took the second half kickoff for 85 yards and a 20-0 lead. David Gillette later raced 60 yards. In the game with Gardner, St. Bernard’s best showing came in the second quarter as Sullivan carried the ball to the Wildcat’s 19-yard line on three successive plays. The game’s only score came late in the fourth quarter as Gardner entered to loft the game winner, 3-0. It took the Bernies just two plays to reach paydirt with Farnsworth blazing 38 yards straight up the middle on a semi-draw play for the first score in the Hudson High game. Cruz’ successful placement made it 7-0 for the Saints. Farnsworth skirted the left side for his sec- ond six pointer and David Whitney’s two point toss to Bob Sullivan made it 30-15 in Hudson’s favor. Outstanding for the Harvard Streeters in their homecoming game with Worcester South was their entire backfield, but especially John Donnelly, whose 12 carries for 66 yards, sparkplugged the resurgence. After passing 16 yards to Jeff Blanchard, Whitney handed off to Farnsworth who raced 48 yards up the sideline for a score. Cruz hit the extra point to make the final 12-0 Bernie victory. The Saints proved no match for the powerful Gael of Clinton as they fell to defeat, 28-14, in a game played in the pouring rain. Winding up with a score of 23-6, SBHS put up a tough fight in the game with St. Peter’s but just couldn’t hold back the Guardians. But the spirited Saints never lost hope and late in the fourth quarter Sullivan showed them a bit of what the team had left, putting six more points on the scoreboard. Against a staunch Athol defense, St. Bernard’s suffered a 22-8 defeat. Farnsworth and Sullivan had fans gaping at their blindi speed at times and were the Bernardian offense stars. Sullivan picked up 73 yards on the ground while Farmsworth got the lone Blue and Gold touchdown on a nifty nine-yard scamper in the second period. The Saints dominated the action in the third frame, running 13 plays before Athol got its hands on the ball. The Saints finally hit the board in the late-going Bedford game when Whitney hit Larry Badagliacca for the lone St. Bernard’s TD, The two-point conversion was good to complete the scoring, 29-8. The Bernardians rallied in the fourth quarter nipping Bartlett by a score of 14-12. John Donnelly carried the ball into Bartlett territory and then ran for the TD and the two points. With minutes remaining, Farnsworth brought in the winning touchdown to put the Saints ahead. Winding up the season, SBHS suffered defeat against Holy Name. The Saints rallied their strength late in the third quarter and in the fourth but just couldn’t seem to get by the points stacked up by Holy Name, 44-20.

Catherine Tousignant 148 The early-American schools were church schools. There were also tuition schools. Later, an early Massa- chusetts law required the towns to build schools. In these public schools, the teaching of religion was still stressed as it had been in the church schools. In the beginning, St. Bernard’s High was a church school. It was built and maintained by the pastor, Father James J. Donnelly, and his parishioners for the boys and girls of St. Bernard’s parish. Religion was the most important subject taught and was given the first period every day. Today, St. Bernard’s is no longer a parish school but a diocesan-controlled, tuition high school for this area. Religion continues to have priority over other subjects. Fifty years ago, St. Bernard’s High was being built on what was for years a beautiful rose garden on the Page estate at the corner of Summer and Harvard Streets. A carriage house and stable also vanished. Soon the electric trolley car which stopped at the cor- ner to take pupils on or off would be replaced by the school buses. The old order was changing and giving place to the new. As enrollment increased, eight portable classrooms were gradually erected. The building of the annex some years later marked the end of these so-called “chicken coops,” which had well served a definite need in their time. In the new annex were not only added classrooms but labs, offices, a chapel, cafeteria, and library. For fifty years the Sisters of the Presentation, founded in 1775, have served at St. Bernard’s High. In honor of their Bicentennial, the faculty gave the Sisters a dinner party. Pupils and faculty, together with the Sisters, assisted at a con-celebrated Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Bernard’s church. Father's Jaillet, Guenette, Downer, and Sickler were the celebrants. The pupils presented the Sisters with a check for $500. nn ™ itl Wi | Hi) th ih O Alma Mater, fair and true, our song we'll sing to you. Thy sons and daughters here proclaim the glory of thy name.
