Reginald Chenard. His scholastic record stands out like a gleaming flambeau to guide the countless St. Francis students yet to pass through its sinuous halls of learning. His instruc- torship is quite evidently successful alas. Many are the new friends he has made at St. Francis this year. May God shower His choicest graces upon him, and may his stay here be a long and fruitful one. The Senior Class. EADMINISTRATION REV.

AUGER l For success, we must endure hardships : This is our motto, translated from Latin, Ad Augusta per Augusta , and chosen by the class of Forty-Hine. It is to this phrase of simple, yet philosoPhic truth that we must how our heads in humble acknowledgment. Years have passed and years have come: each bringing its own share of trials and tribulations to be coped with. Whether we were aware of the fact or not, this motto lived within us. For, did not every hardship endured bring forth its eonsolations? Was not the following day brighter? Everyone agrees that reading an exciting novel surpasses the monotonous memorizing of Latin vocabulary; but realizing that the task must be done we set aside all pleasures and begin doing the task assigned. it was not the fear of getting a zero that frightened us- no, rather the knowledge that we, we alone, would be the losers. In leaving our ilme Hater, we shall all strive to reach the heights of our ambitions with these words in mind. Who knows when, but each or us will meet his supreme crisis. Perhaps as a priest, lawyer, doctor, or what have you, the time will come when we must face facts or run away as eOwards. Upon the arrival of this dreaded day, we will be ready; for, our days at St. Francis have prepared us. Closing this bried account of our alas: motto, I know that as the God-given pillar of fire guided the Jews in the desert, so will Ad Augusta. per Augusta. guide us. JOHN FRANCIS VEZELIS This class of 1949 has chosen the most significant and the most beautiful flower as its class flower. The rose, which represents friendship, reminds the senior to love his parents who in their great love for him made the enormous and numerous sacrifices that are a nec- essary part of every young man's training. What influenced them to do this was the hope that we would benefit from this devotion in many ways. As we graduate we feel that an important result is that we have learn- ed to love and to be friends of learning. Our class flower will bring to memory the patience and friendli- ness of our professors during our four years at St. Francis, four years during which they toiled relentlessly among us. But notwithstanding these trials and hardships, they succaeded very well in giving us not only a desire to learn, but also a greater facility to understand our classmates and fellowmen. The rose of friendship will ever remind us of the strong bands 01' comradiship we built during our stay here, bonds of friendship neVer to be bro en. The yellow rose, signifies the value or wealth of knowledge. 664447Zam The fiery red ribbon binding it represents the fire with which we are zealous in our search for wisdom to honor and serve Christ our King more successfully, following ever in His footsteps. may the yellow rose in future years remind each of us of the strong friendships acquired at St. Francis, both in the field or learning and among our class and schoolmates. ARTHUR T. ANSTISS mama After mature deliberation Red and Gold were chosen for our class colors. Red is the symbol of fire, of enthusiasm, the very spark that has inspired us seniors to make outstanding contributions, as a class, to deer St. Francis; which has inspired us, tram our Freshman year, to live zealously 1n the service of God, in our devotion to our fellowmen and in the pursuit of knowledge. This ambition moved us to seek knowledge not for its own sake but as a means to happier tomorrows and eternal salvation. God 15 the symbol of intrinsic goodness, the great virtue which we have cherished above all others, the virtue that Shakespeare made immortal in one of Hamlet's most famous soliloguie And this above all: To thine own self be true; and then it must follow, as the night the day, Thou cans't not then be false to any man. The goodness of character which helps us to lead good, upright lives, true always to the ideal of St. Francis, true to ourselves and true always to our fellowmen.

The Fall of '45 found 31 enthusiastic treshmen registered at St. Francis; one or the largest classes in the history of the school. Since then about 15 of our classmates have come and gone, leaving us with a senior class of 19. After the passing of the first nostalgic days we adapted ourselves to St. Francis and made the school our second home. All of the freshmen of '45 remained at St. Francis that year, save Valmont Gilbert, who left after two weeks and rejoined us as a Junior in '4?-'48. The highlights of the year were the Initiation and lardi Gran. His Royal Highness: King John Eagles Jr. of Fort Kent, was crowned tend I do mean crowned13.t at the Freshmen Reception. Soon after came the retreat the banquet of the soul. Our preacher was the eloquent Fr. Porter, O.F.H. Football and tennis gave the freshmen a new outlook on school life. It is true that we were all rather small but we didn't pass unnoticed in Sports during that year. Like all growing boys, the freshmen needed supervision. we gave our poor prefect, fr. Norman quite a time; that 115 his last year as prefect. We were good boys, werenit we tr. Norman? Although a rather humorous sheet our class paper- Frosh Renate, edited by Charles Keenan proved very successful, as we glance through the 'Frosh Renate we are reminded of how Fernand Payer brought a screen to fr. Rector; of Hutt h Jeff , Ernest Sutton and Yvon Albert. a husky voice saying Listen You , reminds us of Rene Goniette. I could go on and on writing about the freshmen or '45- I would write a book. The class officers for that year read as follows: President: Ernest Sutton V.?resident: James Keegan Secretary: Robert Parenteau Treasurer: Rene Goulette Boy! What a year that was! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with the news that Fr. Aldee was prefect. And it was fun to watch the awkward freshmen unpack their trunks. I;wonder if we were as dumb as they when we first arrived at St. Francis. There was a change among our professors; Fr. Ange gladly welcomed us to his French Class, replacing fr. Aldee, whom we expected to have as X graders. I wonder 1! Peter still remembers the art of shooting sea- La ,5'. nP'JKV G'pt'F q. maggu mam; .

The stars for the year '46 - '47 were, Bob Labbe, Bob Perenteau, Rudy Pelletier, Jimmy Keegan and Phil Nadeau. During the winter most of us were well occupied working on the 49er a class paper under the direction of Fr. Luke. The Forty-niner Editorial Board follows: Editor in Chief: Peter Barry Co-Editors: Rene Goulette Robert Parenteeu Joke Editors: Reno Quellette John Eagles Sports Editors: James Keegan Rudy Pelletier Circulation Manager: J.L. Bourret Sabin Hilliard Typist: Robert Parenteau Misc. Editor: Lucien Garneau Clarence Pelletier Cover Design by Phil Nedeau Days passed quickly and June was soon at our door. The year ended with the same class officers as the preceeding year except for president Peter Barry who replaced Ernest Sultan. The honors that year were given to Peter Berry, Raymond Lagece and Robert Parenteau. Soon we were home and what did we do? Some of us worked but what about the three musketeers? Did they continue to take their midnight snacks? JUNIOR YEAR .....So begins a new chapter in life- the Junior Year. New faces? Surei-w Arthur Boucher, Richard Renaud, Hervey Poisaant and John Vezelis. Not a week elapsed before we chase our class officers. Elected President was Peter Berry, V. President: Bob Parenteeu, Treasurer: Rene Goulette. We decided not to elect a secretary but later found it quite an inconvenience not to have one, so Raymond Lagace was elected. After the Hid-Iear Recess, Paul Morrissette, the noted Cardinal Fan was unable to return. The most important social event or the year was lerdi Gras, sponsored by the Juniors. John Bourret, laster of Ceremon1es led the Grand March with Miss Legece. Hr. Bourret's previous experience as Hester of Ceremonies during the See-Scout Christmas Party V462; had initiated him in the duties of an H.-C. With gay costumes and decorations the atmosphere transported us to New Orleans, Louisiana. The Fall of '4? brought us two new professors. The Blue-Blooded Bostonian with his big black book, Ir. Dolen, end that handsome youth with Ehe French smile, Mr. Robert Bremond rralTlarseille, who is new studying in aris. In dramatic: we can boast about our two performers Peter Barry nna Rene Goulette who brilliantly presented their parts as Hamlet and Petrucio in When Shakespeare's Gentlemen Get Together. Valmont Gilbert and Hervey Peissant sterred in Le Poisnard . The year soon passed-1t flashed before our eyes and when we knew it h we were sweating over our finals. ' QFasKD afisfovgo SENIOR YEAR At the opening of the Fall term a tall blond stranger appeared. You've guessed it,-it's the new resident coach Henry hichaelwicz, our Trig- onometry Professor. Under his able direction the football team is becoming better known. Among the senior players were: Rudy Pelletier, Robert Paren- teau, Joel Bouchard, Hervey Poissant, Phil Nadeau, Yvon Levesque, Clement Auger, Lucien Baron and Arthur Anstiss. The senior class has also given the Football Squad a manager, Charles Paul Rosie Randall. Seniors en the basketball quintet were: Robert Parenteau, Richard Renaud, Lucien Dube, and Joel Bouchard. Hailing from Florida is Jimmy Alwin, day-hOpper at school. Jimmy that handsome Southerner is quoted for his smile. But let's not forget Luc en Dube from Exeter, N. H. who is a wonderful basketball player. The class officers are: President- Peter Barry, Vice President- Joel Bouchard Secre- tary- Hebert Parenteau and Valmont Gilbert, Treasurer- J. L. Bourret Seniors taking special courses, from Reginald Chenard, a former student, are: John Vezelis, Lucien Dube, Paul Randall and Philip Nadeeu. After the Thanksgiving Holidays we arrived to find Rudy Pelletier gone home. In losing Rudy Pelletier-we lost a swell sport and an amiable classmate. The seniors can boast of their class without conceit. Seniors have been enthrusted many positions here at school. Do we not have Louis Pelle- tier, a jovial scout, as infirmarian. Louis doctors the sick and brings up their Spirits. In the kitchen we find two Seniors, Clement Auger and Hervey Poissant. But let us not forget the best Job in the college-that of working near God. In the sacristy we find Raymond Lagace and Valmont Gilbert. The print Shop also is headed by a senior, Peter Berry and John Bourret works there too. . This year we find a few SeniOrs as officers of the Third Order of 4 St. Francis. President: Raymond Lagace, Secretary and Treasurer: Louis J. ' Pelletier. Soon our mid-year will be history: the rest of the year will flash by and graduation day will soon be here. What state of life shall we chose? What Shall we do later on? The future is known to God so let us entrust ourselves to Him and live happily within the protection of the Good St. Francis.

AWM Not long ago an ancient Egyptian manuscript was discovered in the Museum of Cairo; the supposed truth that manuscript contains was found by the astronomers of the time, This manuscript foretold the future of the Seniors of the class or '49. Before revealing the contents of this precious document we have studied it carefully, and personally we do thind that those able men have correctly prophesied our future. As ou see in the above design twhich is the original one of the manuscript they foretold it by the stars 0 No doubt you are anxious to know what these astronomers saw about us in this certain star. First of all: in the far corner of the first point or this star was a large city-no one ever suspected it to be so large; in fact, it included the whole northern part of Maine. All the smell plantations in the vicinity of Fort Kent had united to form one of Maine's largest cities. This task was completed by the tireless efforts of our new Maine Governor--PETER BARRY. Among the well-known professional people of this city are two of the class of '49, JOEL BOUCHARD and HVON LEVESQUE. Joel was recently elected to fill the office of layer, while Yvon, a native of Quimby, has his office in Fort Kent. He is President of the Aroostook Railroad. As the famous star moves southward in its orbit, we get a glimpse of the second brilliant point and here it shines majestically over Augusta, Heine's second largest city. We see a dignified executive administering one of Maine's meet humanitarian institutions. As we enter the executive office, Lo and behold, if it is not one of our most illustrious classmates, RAYHOND LEGACE, Head of Augusta's famous hospital for the mentally sick. Since Peter's inauguration, the map of the state of Heine has changed completely. On Easter Sunday morning in the year 1970, we stroll down Augus- ta's fashionable thoroughfare and see the majestic spire of St. Augustin's Cathedral pointing towards the heavens. We quietly enter this famous edifice. As the bells toll and High lass begins, we see His Excellency the BishOp of Maine's newest and largest diocese take his seat on the episcopal throne. Mirabile dietu it is none other then our charming and studious classmate. VALIONT GILBERT. At night when we move down into the business district, we marvel at this 20th century skyscraper whose lights brilliantly Overcast the city. Looking up at its famous neon sign, we see the name of JEAN LOUIS BOURRETg who has succeeded in becoming the new Vice-president and General Ienager of H. P. Hood a Sons, Inc. whose principal office for the New England States is now located in Augusta. ild.'s Notei The star rotating southward reveals new in its third prophetic point, an array or gentlemen who occupy outstanding positions in Maine's chief industrial centre.

This busy executive is easily recognizeable as our own HARVEY POISSANT. Moving down the Pool Road which is no longer a snmi-circle; it is new a four-lane thoroughfare and one of the finest in New England due to the heroic efforts of Gov. Barry. We approach, somewhat in awe, an inspiring edifice, English Gothic in design. It is- as you have surmised- the new St. Francis High School. he the bronze doors or the administration building swing open, you are cordially greeted by the prefessorial looking gentlemen. He is Professor CHARLES PAUL 'EQSIE RANDALL. Suddenly as we move back to Biddeford we see, as we approach the new Notre Dame Hospital a high-pewered Cadillac driving in, and out steps a very professional-looking gentlemen. We seem to recognize the figure. Approach- ing the gentleman we are pleased but not exactly astonished to see our dis- tinguished classmate, ROBERT PARENTEAU. He tells us to come in to View the premises. After a briet conversation we learn that Bed is new Chief-of- Staff of this famous hospital. Entering Biddeford's new city hall as we stride along the corridors to inquire about the tax rate or this thriving community we spot the usme of Auger on one or the doors. 0n sieser inspection we see the title.

Over the super highway which leads from Biddeferd to Portland, we grew weary and in need of refreshment. At South Portland we see the sign Club Mayfair. The club looks inviting so we stroll in she to our surprise we hear the melodious but familiar tones of our genial JIMMY ALWIN JR. who is now serving as master of ceremonies in this famous club. The star moves in its shining orbit. The fourth point is very revealing We tune in to Southern Maine's newest television station located in Kennebunk The Catholic Hour is in progress. The strains of Ave Hsrie are coming tunefully ever the air waves. A beautiful diction, a resonant voice remind man of his eternal destiny. Suddenly we see the televised figure of our esteemgd classmate; it is the noted Lithuanian Franciscan JOHN FRiNCIS VEZELI . ' Around the femOus point we cross the boundaries into New Hampshire and hear murmurings of theiigh tax rates of this region. The name of PELLETIER is mentioned and soon we learn that our inimitable LOUIS is now New Hampshire's commissioner of taxes. At another corner of this point we see a commanding figure instructing a large class in Shakespearean English. The voice sounds familiar. He shown an eminent grasp of this difficult subject. We listen carefully and hear our own LUCIEN BARON elegantly dissertating upon the values of Shakespear- een drama in the sacred halls of St. Anseln's College.

' ymm The class of 1950, under the capable leadership of President Gerard Bonenfent, has surprised the entire student body of St. Francis. As or now, with the help of their Physics professor, the honorable John Delan, the Juniors have done exceedingly well in their effort to replenish the Physics lab . New apparatus has been purchased, gas has been installed and Prof. Dolan plans to install his wirelese , so as to acquaint the boys with many different fields of life. Briefly, everybody is all enthused over it; for some students will even Spend the recreations in the lab to become better acquainted with the apparatus. We hOpe that, in the new school, there will be a larger and better equiped lab than that which now serves the purpose. As we come to the sports department, we find that the mid-eentuxhns are not to be left behind. Their outstanding ability to participate successfully in the divers Sports, was proven during the past curricular year. When Coach Michalewicz posted his cell for star football players, many of them showed up. Some of the best first string Varsity players were found in this class: Francis Red Duguay, Eight Halfback; Vincent Audibert, left guard; Paul Gelinas, right end. Other junior players were: Albert Fortier, fullback; Norman Theriault, and Raymond Simoneau, half- backs and Leo Morrissette at the guard position. In basketball, the Juniors did very well. Some of them were tall and lanky, others were good shots and fast. The Varsity men were: Albert Fortier, Red Duguay, Donald Duplessis- J.V. men were: N. Theriault, L. Morrissette. In the high scoring department, Fortier was second high scorer with fifteen points to his credit, and Red Duguay was third with fourteen. Even though the skating season was very limited due to poor weather conditions, the illustrious Juniors-whowed their ability to play hockey. In a few contests held against other classes they came out victorious in every game. Last year, they were competition for the baseball championship. We hepe to receive as much cempetitien again this year. Intellectuelly, the Juniors have many outstanding students. The whole class is very proud of its honor student, George Desroberts. He is an assiduous worker in all his undertakings; he is also a reporter for the Vigilant and the Chronicler.mr the Troubadour . Other students to be proud of are: Francis Duguay, Roland Gaudin and Gerard Bonenrant. Many students of the 11th grade are active in non-curricular aetivitbs Sponsored at St. Francis such as the orchestra, the glee club, the Third Order and the Stopa. The Juniors in their attempt to foster more social activity at St. Francis, organized a very successful Mardi-Gras party, the biggest social event in School. George Desroberts, Master of Ceremonies, did a Splendid Job. The program was one of the most diversified yet. Under the able leadership of Jack Bonenfant, all the decorating and preliminary work was done to perfection. They employed Brother Juniper's workshop as the cuisine . At the other end was an elaborate stage where each class entertained us with exceptionally fine sketches. The Juniors didn't mind cleaning up; especially, with lots of food. CLEEENT i t ween aw, uv-f-vnzun. k. , SOPHOMORES SWW When the present sophomore class entered as freshmen 1t numbered thirty member33today twenty remain. This class has good leaders and Fernand Lavalle and Arthur Barry, their class president and vice president, are these. The class secretary Paul Proulz, besides being the outstanding scholar of the class is also editor of the Vigihent to which Barry contributes regularly his Sophomore conditions. The sophomore class won second prize for their Halloween play. They put on a great show vhich everybody liked. The Mardi-Gras party was also very successful for these gentlemen. They put on a good sketch which did not, however, win a prize. Hartineau won the prize for the best costume at the masquerade and he surely deserved it. The public speaking hopefuls of the saphomores are Proulx tFrenchk, Cournoyer IEnglishi and Poncin tEnglishi. We Iish these three success. In Sports this class established a fine record in football and hockey. Boucher, a capable captain, led his team to seven victories and suffered one defeat. Four saphomores who made the varsity were a real contribution to the team. They were: Robert Gelines, Jacques Brissart, Henry Cournoyer and Roger Doiron. In hockey they chalked up a 4 and 2 record under the leadership of Captain Marin. The Juniors tare the only ones to defeat this team and that in no easy matches. Iarin represented this class on the varsity team. Three sophomores made varsity in basket- ball and proved themselves warthy choices. They were as follows: Guy Archambanlt, Roger Doiron, and Robert Martineeu. We must also look to the sophomores for a fine baseball team. Under the able leadership of Robert Hertineau, their pitcher, and Henry Cournoyer, Co-Captain, they can stand up against any class and make a good showing or it. We wish the adphomores continued progress and success. LDCIEH DUBE You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips. -Goldsm1th N E M H S E R F 7mm September last saw a refined group of freshmen anchoring.at St. Francist port of knowledge. Though most of them arrived in small shy vessels; they sailed bravely with us onto the sea of another school year. The first port at which they anchored, for spiritual light, was the Annual Retreat . They then went onward across the blue sea learning as they sailed the deeps, till the Port of Initiation they did see. The initiation went on for three days. Now many a freshman got his instructions for the long journey ahead. Some learned how to swim, namely Jack Bilodeau and Rene Valade, who were elected Royal Rulers of the class. While they posed for their pictures, it seemed that all the waters of Niagara came down on them. Many a freshman was scared stiff during the ordeal but none more then Carrol Saucy and his friend James McManus, who were ordered to jump on tacks. As they stood on high ready to jump, sweat rolled down their faces onto the floor, and they turned purple with fear. Many other humorous incidents including the ever popular hot furnace told the freshmen how warmly they were welcomed here by the sympathetic seniors and other upper class-men. Before the end of the ritual a more realistic group of older boys managed to comfort the Freshmen with an un- expected cold shewer as the g marched out of the hall. tP.S. I had never seen so many unhappy ducks. Again the sails were set to the winds, and our freshman ship roamed the Sea of Knowledge in scholastic pursuits. There Roland Breton and Gerald Nantel shared first place and Gary Michaud occupied third place, while the fourth and fifth places were seized by Carrol Saucy and Alfred Jacques respectively. Early in the year this fast sailing class'took time off to elect these officers: president Gary Michaud, vice president Maurice McDurf, chairman Albert St. Cyr, treasurer Albert Jacques and secretary Gerard Nantel, these last two represent the class on the Stope committee. 0n the Sea of Sports the going was rather rough. Though they lost all their football games against the upper classes, they showed the will to win and good clase spirit. Untold hours were spent at practice to perfect the teams as much as possible. Every freshman played and loved football under captain Richard Coriveeu. Maurice EcDurf, who played varsity football was captain of the hockey team that strove to defeat the Sophomore Six with near success once. A W few of the freshmen stars are: Richard Bonenfant, Marcel Levesque, Leslie Bouchard, Robert Lamirande, Harvey St. Amend, Elmer Dumond, Roland Guerrette and Lester Collins, In basketball we found Elmer Dumnnd, Robert Lamirande, Harvey St. Amend, Richard Corriveau, Rene Valade, Norman Charrette, Charles Maynari Richard Powers, Leslie Boucherd and Gary Michaud playing very well in one of the Junior varsity games. Though the freshmen did not play many games in basketball, they practiced considerably and defeated the fresh- men from Biddeford High. And thus ends our voyage with the Freshman Class. We wish them a brilliant success in their studies and mu . ch ha iness durin their eta at St. Francis. pp 8 Y R LUCIEN BARON . BEETHOVEN VAN DYKF. ACTIVITIES M In the school year of 1946 and 194?, Rev. Fr. Ange-Marie Portelence, graduate of the heele Academia Filarmonice of Rome, organized the Glee Club and Schola Cantorium here at Saint Francis. The new group's first public appearance will long remain a memorable event. After many long hours of practicing and rehearsing, the Operetta, Royal Dindon was put on in May of 1948 at Saint Andre's Parish Hall. This Operetta proved to be a great success. Last December 19 a group of singers rendered Especial Christmas pro- gram over the local radio station on the weekly Hour of God. Once again the group was most successful and it received many congratulations. The schole is now preparing a mass to be sung in Portland some time in May. For its second Annual Concert the Glee Club will this May present a romantic comic opera for boys, The Vagabonds by Arthur A. Penn. The senior class has made many important contributions to the Glee Club and Schola Cantorium. The following especially have been very active: Clement Auger, Arthur Anstiss, Raymond Legace, Jean-Louis Bourret, Joel Bouchaid, Herve Poissant, Robert Farenteau, Valmont Gilbert and Louis Pellet er. Rev. Father Frederic Belanger organized the first school orchestra in the Fall of 1940, when we were still nothing but scrubby third graders. The first group was rather skimpy: one violin, a trumpet and an harmonica with piano accompaniment. Very soon after a small set of drums was purchased by Fr. Frederic, as always, at a bargain price. This imposing group made its first appearance at the second annual Christmas party. By 1942 the St. Francis Orchestra had established its value. Its services Were demanded often for a great variety of occasions. Fr. Frederic would make judicious Selections and travel with the group to such sedate affairs as St. Andrefs parish bazaar and Knights of Columbus communion breakfasts. Occasionally the group would become more worldly and appear at such affairs as a Jackson Day dinner at the Felmouth Hotel in Portland. In 1947 Rev. Father Ange-Marie Portelance a specialist in music, be- came head of the music department here and took over the direction of the orchestra. . Unfortunately, a dwilling in the number of instrumental music students here has considerably curtailed the activities of the orchestra lately. The group, however, still exists. It did exceptionally well at the rendition of Royal Dindon last year. We are all anxious to see the school orchestra regain its pepularity or former years. LOUIS PELLETIEB Sitnpa The Students' Organization for the Promotion of Activities was born in the month of January with the purpose of promoting and nurturing act- ivities in the school. With but half a school year left to produce results, it cannot be too productive; yet, it will try to do its utmost. Consisting of a committee of two members from each class, the organ- ization convenes twice a month in the form of a democratic legislature. It may in years to come prove the vitalizing force at St. Francis, but only when it has surmounted its many present difficulties. leuded on tut pntn. Mr. Dolen, our English professor, else in charge of English dramaties, selected a ghost story- The Ghost of Jerry Blunder -for our annual com- petition one act play. This seven male character play will enter the York County contest for the Southern Maine district, March 31. Early in April, winners will contest in the finals for State honors. Last year, these finals were held at Bowdoin College. Because of extensiVe alterations now going on at Bewdoin, the place and time of the event have not as yet been determined. Rev. Fr. Frederic, in charge of French dremetics, is tentatively cons- idering St. Francois et le-Hechant Homme for presentation this year. It should be quite appropriate for this school. This year again Fr. Ange-Merie will present an Operetta for the students and residents of the neighboring cities, The Vagabonds , by Arthur A. Penn. The great success of Royal Dindon lest Hey augurs well for another fine performance this year. PUBLIC AND PRIZE SPEAKING Preliminary exercises for the Regional Spears Speaking Contest will he held abOut the middle of April in our school auditorium. Five studentsn-one from each class-will participate in the English division. The winner will then preSent his speech at Deering High School in Portland the latter part of April. The winners in this regional contest-a boy and a girl-will appear in the finals to be held at the State House in Augusta, early in May. In addition, Profressor Dolen plans to enter contestants in two more cantests, namely: the 40th annual Montgomery Interscholastic Prize Speaking Contest which will be held, as usual, at Colby College, Weterville. This contest is limited to young men in the secondary schools of New England. Last year, Peter Berry our Spear winner, was selected to appear in the finals at Colby on May 3th. 0n the 30th day of April, 1949, there will be held, on the campus or the University of Maine at Orono e speaking contest for the secondary schools of Maine. The purpose of this annual contest is to stimulate int- erest and training in effective public speaking and interpretative reading in the high schools of this state. Prof. Delan is considering Peter Berry as a candidate for the second division, which is Original Oratory . In this division, the contestant is expected to write his own oration. The subject matter is left to his discretion. A rendition of Branch Declemstions will also be given in the prela- wineries. A delegate from each class will pertieipate. CLEIENT B. AUGER V755. Entree nf Sn 3?. Although Saint Francis is but a young, small school it has two fine periodicals, the Vigilant and the Troubadour . Each is an excellent school paper in its respective field. Every student can in all earnest- ness feel proud of both, because both show the endeavors, ingenuity and, capabilities of the student body. It shows that the fellows who have under- takegtto form the nucleus of each paper, the editorial staffs, have school spir . The Vigilant our mimeographed news sheet was born in the fall 1947 thanks to Peter Barry, Charles Keenan and, Philip Cloutier. From the start, the Vigilant has risen steadily to a stellar position. It is very probable that one day, or even now, this 7 by Be inch paper will outshine the official school periodical Troubadour . If the students in the years to come put the time and effort into the making of the Vigilant that the boys of past and present have done and are now doing it will continue to new and greater heights. The paternal, demure gentleman who refrains from frequent appear- ances , as Peter Barry refers to the Troubadour does so very correctly. The Troubadour is of equal interest both to the alumniawayfrom Saint Francis and to the students here. The Troubadour is becoming more and more the voice of Saint Francis College and High School in the world. The growing Alumni and others interested in the school are given by it an in- sight into the rapid educational and material development of Saint Francis. Throughout the years to come the Troubadour will become an ever more binding link between the memorable past and living present. Together Vigilant and Troubadour are part of Saint Francis, 3 very living and essential part, and will continue, we trust. Each has its place in the school today and tomorrow.

Norman, 0.F.l., still our indifetigable leader organized the Scout movement here at St. Francis. He hns since been the leader of the Sea Scouts. Rev. Fr. Desire, 0.F.l., was appointed first leader of the Boy Scouts. But Fr. Desire was called away and Rev. Fr. Alberic, 0.Eu., took over in the Fail or 1945. He in turn received a new appointment in 1947. Fr. Norman has since then taken over the complete direction of both groups, The Sea Scouts, after patient waiting, received their first motor launch February 14th, 1943. With the motor launch, a twenty-rour footer weighing three tons and a halt, came two deries. After long tedious work, the great day finally arrived. The coldest day in Hey Rev. hr. Luke, 0.F.l., Sea Scout Chaplain presided at the Christening of the 5.5.8. St. Frencis . Rev. Fr. Ange-Marie, O.F.H., lead the band, and Rev. Fr. Frederic, 0.F.H.. took moving pictures. There was at the same time, a general blessing of the College Fleet gnily decoratea and gathered in the hey for the occasion. In the Fall of 1948, cruising became one of the chief occupation of the Sea Scouts. Many cruises were organized and greatly enjoyed. Of the many incidents which high lighted the cruise one stands out especially after an all day cruise, To one of the many islands a few miles out, the crew made ready to return, manned the ship, and are the signal snd......:ound itself grounded. There was absolutely nothing that could be done. The tide went down and dawn and there was our boat very solidly grounded. Fr. Norman, the let Nate, Robert Simard and a member of the crew stayed while the others returned by Gory. It was way past mid-night when the 5.8.5. St. Francis finally docked at the school wharf. The Boy Scouts have also been very active. Iany overnight hikes were enjoyed by the group. Nature study and fire building during this time were the main requirements studied. The Scouts especially enjoyed Jamboree at Chisholm, Heine. Many of the Senior class have been active in scouting. Special men- tion, however should be made of the fine work of assistant scout master Hervey Poissant, and 2nd Hate, Louis Pelletier. LOUIS PELLETIER em thrhrr The Third Order at St. Francis, was first organized by Rev. Fr. Luke, D.?.H., in 1940. Six pupils took the Holy Habit on June 13, of that year this being the feastday or St. Anthony after when our fraternity is named. During the nine years of its existence it has succeeded in gradually overcoming all the obstacles impending its progress. The enthusiasm of the members seems to die down during summer vacation but flares u inne- dietely upon their return to school. This enthusiasm is due chie 1! to the lack of weekly meetings and the daily recitation of the Office together. However as soon as these practices are renewed they weld the entire frater- nity into one enthusiastic group. U to date Ie have had five directors namely, The Reterend Fathers Luke anbot, O.F.H.; Normand Thibodeeu O.F.l.; John Forrest Galvin, O. .l.; Reginald Roy, 0.F.l.; Guillaume stallge, 0.F.l. thectori our present director. Each in turn did much for the betterment of the treternity. Already more then one hundred and torty-eight students have entered the Order, of these seventy-one ere professed members. At present there are ten professed members in residence here who with thirteen novices are striving to earry on the spirit of St. Francis. COMM OI Ill! W'- sm -. '91.: .

He was a tall man well built with pleasant features. After a brief conversation we discovered that this fine specimen of the masculin sex was no other then our Coach and Math. Prof. His name which you may have difficulty to pronounce is Henry hichelewicz, graduate of Boston Coilege, and also a member of the United States Coast Guards for sixteen months. On the day assigned for tryouts, thirty-five students turned out. Aft- er introducing himself, the Coach stated that he had but twenty-four uni- forms, and that he would choose the best he could find to fill them. After a few days of calisthenics only twenty-five were seen on the field for practice. Now the Coach had a better picture of his prospects; After a few more days of calisthenics, to get thepleyers in shape, he assigned uniforms and organized two teams for scrimmage. After seeing the boys in action he chose his first team and assigned each position. After a week's training the team was ready for the first clashiof the season vs. St. Ignatius in Sanford. The two teams met at Goodall field September 25th. The stars of the day for our Red and Gold Squad were Rudy Pelletier and Roland Ouellette, both did very well on beth offensive and defensive play. after a game or thrills and spills the Blue and Gold ended with a victory of12-6 over the St. Francis Alouettes. Coach Michelewiez stated that his beyswould not go down in defeat in their next game. And sure enough, Coach Michalewicz's predicament came true. The Alouettes are flying high again after defeating Al's Yanks 12-0. The game was played on our home field. It was also the first Football Gsmeever play- ed on our new gridiron. The home team showed their power both in the air and on the ground. The most spectacular play of the afternoon occured when the Yanks, in possession of the hell on the mid-field stripe attempted a lateral. The qugrterback, had just let the ball go when Rudy popped out of nowgeie, snatched the ball out of mid-eir and raced off to the goal line untouc e . For their third game of the Season, the Alouettes tried night flying against the St. Louis Blue and Gold. In the third period the Alouettes hit an air pocket which brought them to their defeat by a score or 6-0. Al- though, our first night game was not successful we hepe that more practice will bring more victories next year. Night rlying was a great experience for the new squad of Alevettes. November 6th, the St. Francis Alouettes overpowered a weak Wells High teem by a score of 13-0. After having lost in a night clash, the Alouettes had the cry of revenge on their lips. Leading the attack ror St. Francis Red and Gold were Rudy Cournoyer end Fortier. Touchdowns were scored by Rudy, Senior and varsity star, and by Cournoyer, Sophomore letterman. Nadeeu Kicked the first point after, but failed in his second try. Roland Ouellette querterbacked his team splendidly throwing passes to lercil, 7mm .Nedeau and Rudy Pelletier. After gaining height again the Alouettes hit another air pocket when they clashed against Al's Yanks for a second tihe. They surprised the St. Francis squad by using new tricky plays and also had this advantage: a few new experienced players. The Alouettes did not go down without a fight, however. The game ended with a 7-0 decision. Al's Yanks displaying some good sportsmanship in this game. Our most bruised player was quarterback Roland Duellette-whose mouth was pretty badly cut up. The Alouettes although the underdog in their last game showed high Spirits when they accepted to play the semi-pro-Thornton Academy Rooter's Club, a group of Thornton Alumni on Thanksgiving day. That morning we woke up to a dark cold day with a steady drizzle. The players kept up their high spirits and things looked pretty good. Most of our real team however were at home for the Thanksgiving recess. Still our team did a good Job. This proves that most of the twenty-four players had equal ability. The game ended with a 7-0 decision in favor of Thornton Alumni. Distinguishad players of the day were Rudy Pelletier and Bob Parenteau who led the squad both in the air and on the ground. The senior class wishes to extend their congratulations to the foot- ball SQHad for its magnificent display of good sportsmenship during all the games. Although it was hard to keep from getting mad at times, they behaved like true Christians. Our only casualties of the season were Bob Parenteau who got two fractured bones in the spine during the Thanksgiving Game, and Roger Doiron who got a brain concusion during one of the games. We also wish to extend our best wishes to the squad of '49 which will still be under the direction of Coach Michalewicz. LINEUP R.E. Phil Nedeeu . . . . . . Joel Bouchsrd R.T. Hervey Poissent . . . .

La . er. .. .fs Qnrkrg In spite of winter's delay and unfavorable Weather when it did come, St. Francis was able to organize for its sport's fans a hockey team which proved itself superior to its competitors. Father William Lavelle, Rector, gave generously of his time and put great effort into preparing our boys for their .initiel victory over St. Andree, on Feb. 20th, the S. F. Sextet led throughout the entire game. St. Andree's only desire was to meet the S. F. Sextet agaih in the near future. The second game this was by our team against St. andree. This feat resulted in a tie. In this game, our goeler, Ray Jolin, suffered a deep gash in the lower lip which necessitated a few stitches. However, Bay was replaced by Leopold Nickneir, who in turn was replaced by Andre Giroux. This game was played under very unfavorable circumstances, a deluge of rain. The rain, however, did not dampen the spirit of the Sextet in the least. They still manifested a dagged determination to come through victoriously and led St. Andrea's players till a few minutes before the finish Of this spectacular game. When the S. F. Sextet played this third consecutive game with St. Andre, it had Steve St. Amend as s new addition to the team. Although slashing conditions at this time were still unfa- vorable, the S. F. Players mustered sufficient power to beat St. Andre for a second time. The S. F. found St. Andre's team very Sportsmenlike in its tactics. This unables St. Francis team to reciprocate with an equally high degree of Sportmanship. Inasmuch as hockey is the chief sport at St. Francis after the football season, the students are desirous of making its team an outstand- ing one in this vicinity. Its splendid record this year sets a standard which we hopefuture teams will be inepired to emulate. LINEUP: Center: Roland Quellette; Steve St. Amend; R. Wings Victor Poulin; L.

Our hops for a good mound staff has been dampened somewhat by the loss of Rudolph Pelletier. We have, however, Victor Poulin and B05 Parenteau, two experienced hands, who should take the burden of the mound quite gracefully. The infield is a dastardly sight but full confidence is put in the Coach, who will undoubtedly develop a clicking infield end a sharp outfield. Looking on the offensive side of the game, we find that our pre-season lineup is not as well packed with power as could be desired. The story of the games therefore will be decided on our defensive strategy. If Our team works hard, the games should develop into some extremely ex- citing contests. TRACK This is a new sport at St. Francis. How will this sport turn out??? The Coach has a monstrous job which will take plenty of time but if he succeeds and we are sure he will; St. Francis may soon have a team that will never say die ' RICHARD BENAUD VF .. ?W Basketball really took shape this year st St. Francis under the direction of Coach Michalewicz. Many of the stud- ents showed a keen interest in this sport introduced here this winter. At first the players displayed a lack of ex- perience, but their keen interest helped the Coach to knit together a team that proved quite formidable in all the contests entered. The lack of gym facilities on the campus made it quite difficult for the boys to get the systematic training so necessary to produce a first class team. Hewever, the Right Reverend Monsignor Decery very kindly allowed us the use of St. Andre's gym two days a week. This helped the squad considerably to develoP the well-ceordinsted team that the students felt proud of. The station wagon also helped provide transportation to tOwn for practices, as well as for various games. The Senior drivers per- formed their task most skillfully assuring the boys of rapid and safe trans- poehtion to and from St. Francis. Our first game took place November 19 at the Y.M.C.A. gym in Portland vs. North Eastern Business College. We felt quite outclassed in this game but the dogged spirit of our boys succeeded in holding down the somewhat high searing of the North Eastern players. Our next contest saw the Junior varsity of St. Ignatius engagingour junior varsity in a very Spirited game. Our boys showed a keen ability in passing and blacking, which kept the St. Ignatius players constantly on their toes. The score 29-20 in favor of St. Ignatius showed that the St. Francis team was coming into its own. Immediately after this game our ver- sity met with St. Ignatius varsity for one of our most challenging games. Here, St. Francis fought a hard and fast game, but St. Ignatius proved a trifle too powerful for our fast stepping five, On January 18 we met Old Orchard in its own gym. In this game Lucien Dube played a Spectacular offensive game but 01d Orcherd's snappy five out- men manoeuvered our boys walking off the court with a 59-21 victory. In a return bout with Old Orchard on February 8, we fared better. St. Francis moved more easily about the Old Orchard gym and put up a fine defense against its opponents. One of our outstanding game was against Biddeford's l J.V. in Biddeford High School gym on January 25. This was 1 a courageous feat for St. Francis to undertake because of . Biddeford's well known prowess in the field of sports. But our team faced the adversaries with its well-knowh en- . thusiasm and played a very skilfull game, Biddeford ' scored most of its points in the last quarter I defeating us by 33-20. Our final game was played against St. AndrE's on March let, in its own gym. The boys showed plenty of class in this game and used their skill to a decided advantage. We hope that the achieve- ments of St. Francis under the able direction of Coach Michalewicz will continue to flourish and prove fruitful in the years ahead.

By so doing it will help each tertiary to help himself by helping others. A good tertiary, to help others and himself, should give good example in the chapel, the study hall, the refectory, the dormitory and during recreation. Briefly he should give good example no matter where he is. This good example campaign has produced many good results since the founding of the fraternity in 1940. Every year a greater number of pious and zealous students enter the Order. This enables the group to exercise a greater influence upon the other students,nakes it easier to organize dif- ferent activities such as Hiseion Days and also Days of Prayer. The day will probably come when all the students at St. Francis will have the Franciscain spirit; influenced by the good examples of the Ter- tiaries. ARTHUR T.
