' How dull would college life be if thara aura no Prefect to watch over us. Fr.Aldeu the Prefect, is with us most or the ting. His favorite acne seems to be hide and seek and that ha play! dly in and day out, catching most everyone where he shouldn't be. The boys still like him and think he is a great man, despite his determination to keep order Icconding to the rules. The proof of tlds ts that we quickly notice his absence, even though it be for just I short while. . Sometimes Fr. Aldes needs a little holy. Help cones tram Hnntreal. Fr. Severin, the aaeiatmt prefect. 13 a little man bubbling with enar-g who is ever speaking of his future missionary career in South America. Pr.

Every morning rain or shine. even in bllzords the Brother manages to get here from Biddeford to teach us mathematics and sciences. Now lend me thine ears; Ind be silent that you may hear, the melodious compositions of Fr. Ange. played and sung by the orchegtra and choir under his direction. Being cu: director 01' music Fr; Rugs achieves admirable rasults with the orchestra and choir Although he has been mrkins in Boston far several years Fr. Ange has not. yet caught the Bostonian accent spoken so beautifully by the perfect gentleman from Boston. It is noticeable how much everyone's vocabulary has il'lpl'OVQd. since Mr. Dolan has become the English teacher. No wonder rk. Fremond; French professor in the College section has lnarnt English ac rapidly. Coming here from France especially to learn Shalish Mr. Bremond has done remarka- bly dell in adapting himself so quickly to our hy or living and to our mentality. Rector, teachers and prefects' are all nece'5ury. bub dhat would we do if .12 didn't have Bro. Rovellon to cook for us. His cuisina tin out or this world leave it there J is prepared with the utmost dalecacies of a well trained char. dhy: we have prefe- rations that. could be found. in no hotel or restaurant. Bro. Nnvellon really does a 500:1 job. And we are thankful ta bin as we are to all our- teachars. May God hear our grateful prayers and bless Rev. Fr. Rector and all the faculty. Rolnnd Peloquin '.

Before entering into the challenge of life, we have deliberately chosen our permanent class motto: labor Omnia Vincit. This motto has a great importance on the success and on the welfare of everyone of us so- niors. It's significance is tremendously profound. We have inscribed it at the back of each or our cerebellum, and we shall put it. into practice during the whole course of our lives. Man 15 born to work as the bird in barn to fly. The man who refuses to work, as the bird that refuses to fly. will get nowhere. and. thus he is not cccPer-ating with M's planJJ-od gave us a. free will; but He wants the success of all; He gave us the means to attain it: We must work to achieve it. All the great men have attained their career by the sweet or their brow. Thus the illus- trious works of Beethoven, those of Iangfellow. Shakespear. and my others, have proven to us that masterpieces are not produced by the willfylly idle. The only key. that can open the door to success. 15 work hard worr: end plenty 01' it. Red and Gold are our class colon. These epitonim the Senior class ideals and charac- teristics. Red signifies the charity and enthusiasm which maintained the class unity through out many sports contests in which we were victorious without sacrificing good will and sport- manship toward all our fellow students. Red is again a symbol or the good spirit and zeal with which the Seniors have always cooperated with all the school activities. Gold stands for the riches which He found here, not earthly truauras but the riches of the mind and the soul which we suught for and which we have tried to accumulate throughout our nu:- years at St. Francis. The class has worked hard to gain as much profit as possible from the classical training offered here. Red and Gold, good fellowship, zeal for all good causes. true christian principles, are- bition for learning. may these alxays remain strong realities in the lives of the Senior: of W7tam Several reasons prompted our chuice or the canution for- uur' class flower. It's simpla beauty appeals to large numbers. The decisive reason, however. was the fact. that the came - is always associated in our minds with Ibther's Day. It. seeme1 that amt flmr that would continuously over the years remind us of the love, kindness and understanding or our mothers during our school years ms above all other: arm ideal class flower. 'nie hope that our wthers will accept this choice as a humble token of our filial grati- tude and as a tangible mark of our- determination to daily strive to become the men that the;- hive prayed and hoped and aork so hard to realize.

Upon their arrival in their Freshman year, they formed a good attack in all sports and although their record wasn't too good. they were Llways guud campatition for any clasa. 'In their second year of interclass competition they really ahodn. In the Fall they were the champions in baseball. In football they were always eiual to their upper classmen. By a strange coincidence they tied the Juniors of 'h? four times. They took the spotlight again in hockey but because of a streak of had luck they lOSt first Place in baseball. In all sports this class made valuable contributions to the school Lsams. Hacauaa they lost two or their best athletes, they didn't make out too well in inter- claaa games this year. but they still contributed to the Vlrsity team. Rudolph Palletier played fullback. Robert Paronteau was right halfback and ?hilip Nadeau was left and. The three starred in all gangs. On the ice Bob and Phil sLill helped their hlma Mater to success. The trio will return to shin: again on the baseball diamond. Intellectually the Juniors hsvo many good students. Among these Peter Furry is out- standing. He won first prize in the speaking contest last year. This year he founded the vigilant , our weekly newshoet. with the help of Charles Keenan, a Sephomcre, and since its foundation he has been its editor. Hervv Poissant, Robert Parenteau, Clement Auger are others of whom the class is fPJUd. In an :LLwrpt to hacoma a aocial success the Junior: aponsored the Murdi Gris party, the biggest social event of the year. The initiatihe and cooperation of the whole class made an outstanding success. Our school 13 very prcud of thia class. Mnraso, the seniors who are leaving this year are certainly hapgy to xnow that an all around Junior class will step up and take over.

LONGFE LLOW HAWTHORNE FRESHMEN Ease: 7m $444 On returning here last September we found that. the school had. inherited, from 31.1 6- ver New England, a fine group of Freshman. M. first. they were rather shy. In 1 van short. time they too had learned all the tricks and banana frisndly with the older boys. The initiation ceremonies, which the upper classmn aln-aya enjoy unreservadly. undoubt- edly helped to weld the whole stLdent. body into one large family. Immediately after the retreaL the class settled down to serious Hrirk and organized for the year. The first step was the election of officers. The results Hera noun made public and generally applauded: Arthur Harry, President; Robert. Golinas.Vica-Praaident; Femand Lavallea. Secretary; Philip Pelletier'. Treasurer. These leader's prom then- aelves capable and soon had their class well represented in all tha school activities. iveryiay they had-tm football squads practicing on the field. Every Saturday. they were out there battling the Sophmr-e rllmren. They didn't. win many matches but they did prove themselves remarkably good sport:'. They carried this good aprtmnship right on into the hockey season. This ap3rt was something entirely new for many 01' the Freshman Class. Some of they had never owned a pair of skates 01 even seen a hockey stick. Onca again they took to this sport as- riously and accepted L119 cnallsnge at any school team. Victorian were few and fu- a- part. Still the good work carried an during the Fall and. winter was not. lost. I bet. these Freshmen will do marvels in sports naxt year. The initiative and. serinuanesa Inimifeated in s,mrts the Freahmen carried right on in- to their study hall and class mama. If a teacher 15 a little tardy in coming no clue Arthur Barr: carries on. At. the mnthly reading or marks the whole school always ua- Lena attentively to the Freshman marks. There is a real contest on for first. place in between Arthur- and raul Broulx. We've a fine group of Freshman indeed. Richard Putin PHIDIPPIDES HERCULES ATHLETICS Essar 7mm The year 19h? brought about many changua in the sport curriculum at St. Francis.

After another week of hard practice, tha squad again tried to register a victory by ex- cepting the great St. Louis boys from Biddeford as their opponant. It Has a hard fought game, but again our team lost 13 to 6. For tbs Red and Gold, Bouthot, Purantenu, Pellobier and Des- hai-a shone offensively, while on defense, Bourasul, Levesque and cloutier utr- topl. lther tun scrimnlgaa against the mighhy squad of Eiddorond High School. which were Iirj good considering our limittsd experience in that phl:e or football. gave us sane mighty bnd do teats.
