During our Junior year, we were fortunate for having him as our French teacher, and this year he has ably guided us as prefect of discip- line. As a graduate student of St. Francis, he is able to cope with our various problems with kind attention. We will always be grate- ful for the knowledge he has passed onto us and for the guidance he has given us since his return to his Alma Mater. x H 'K Mr. Fredrick Warner Another man to whom we are proud to dedicate the Essef of 55 15 Mr. Fredrick Warner. Mr. Warner, also a. former student of St. Francis, has been with us for the past two years as our physics and American history teacher.

The original staff was composed of sixmembers, but three others were added as work piled up and time moved on. Each staff member was put in charge of a. committee which in turn was in charge of com- piling material for a certain part of the book. This required the co-operation of the entire senior class as well as that of the faculty and different classes of the high school and college. The Essef Staff extends their 5 inc e r e s t Thank You to all who helped in making this yearbook a successful one. Raymond Neveu ROBERT S. VERM ETTE Pres. WILFRED H. GAGNON JR. V. Pres. RICHARD L 'HEUREUX Sec. Treas. FA'NK U I Wt! Wm VI The American Beauty, clustered with its deep pink to crimsonbuds, is found to be one of the most exquisite flowers of today. This rose, known as the symbol ofbeauty,was brought from France to the United States in 1886. While at St. Francis, the class of '55 has learned to recognize and ad- mire beautiful things, and that is why we have chosen the American Beauty as our class flower. WW Of the many sayings that exist the class of '55 could not find a wiser one than, Age Quod Agis. This familiar quotation comes from the lips of one of the greatest saints that ever lived, St. Augustine. It means that whatever one does, one should do it well. We seniors should follow this advice carefully, and we will profit much from the sage motto we have selected. U a Robert Vermette l St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus St. Theresa, known as the Little Flower of Jesus, was born in Lisieux, France where she entered the Carmelita Monastery as soon as she was of age. Throughout her life she practiced simple acts of humility, generosity, and love. Though she was small, this did not prevent her from loving God and doing, her duty. All over the world, people show a quiet but deep and fervent devotion to the Little Flowe r As a sign of this devotion, Pope Pius XI named her Patroness of the Missions. She truly is a perfect model of our time, and we the class of '55 feel assured that through our supplications she will keep us under her guidance. 11 maaa Wizturg 71444 In the fall of the year nineteen-hundred and fifty-one, a group of thirty boys entered Saint Francis. Like all former freshmen, we,the class of 55 , causedalittle disturbance among the others. Time indoctrinated us in the school's regulations and its environ- ment. The initiation--a terror to all freshmen--came with all its fears. The seniors were successful in frightening us with their overly-exaggerated threats. Then the day came, the ordeal wasn't so severe as we had anticipated. Towards the end of the initiation the seniors were kind enough to give us refreshments. The initiation over, we riveted our attention to the spiritual and to the scholastic. During the waning days of October, we had our yearly retreat. The retreat master preached excellently. Being tyros in the political field and fearing too much domina- tion, we elected a chairman, Richard L'Heureux, rather than a full slate of officers. The Christmas season came, and home we went. When we re- turned from our Christmas vacation, it took us little time to set free the feelings of nostalgia. The semester examinations were upon us; the majority of us towed the marksuccessfully. Lent past, spring came, and we soon found ourselves packing our trunks. 50:54 Arriving for our second year at Saint Francis,we were quite trained in the art of unpac king . It didn't take long for us to feel AT HOME. A few of our classmates hadn't re- turned, but we were fortunate enough to have others to patch the holes. S till ou r group diminished to the number of twenty-seven. When initiation came, it felt good to relax and watch the others pass through, the ordeal. 12 In the fir st days of March the School sponsored their annual Lenten Drive. With the help of Father Jean Marie, our religion professor, we r ai s e d s ixty dollars among our group. In reward for our generosi- ty, we were given an extra day of vacation at Easter time. June came and we left. u; , H Had you entered the junior class during the years 1953-54, you would have felt the atmosphere of integrity, the spirit of co-opera- tion and willingness, and the attitude of work. We numbered twenty-seven. The quantity was the same as the year before. The officers elected that year were as follows: Robert Ver- mette, president; Wilfred Gagnon, Jr., vice-president; Richard L'Heureux, secretary- -.treasurer After Christmas we undertook our yearbook project. Having elected a staff, we immediately started raising money. Through- out the year we sponsored different parties to help us with our financial problems. We worked effectively; the results were mar- velous. June came and we had raised the sum of six-hundred dollars; furthermore, we were quite advanced in our project. If fls , Our last year at Saint Francis will be mostsignificant to us although it promises to be a year of patience and hard work. Seniors may be the elites of the high school, but this high posi- tion demands great effort. The yearbook requires enough work to keep us busy throughout a good part of our school year. Combining old ideas with our own innovations. we organized the initiation party. In June all of us will separate, and it will be with deep regret that we will do so. We shall never forget our Alma Mater. We are very grateful to the administrative and faculty who helped to instruct us spiritually, scholastically, and socially. Patrick Martin, Jr. 13 ROGER C.

Many years have gone by since that bright spring morning of June 5, 1955, when thirty-two seniors walked through the portals ofSt. Francis CollegeHigh School to assume their chosen positions in the world or to continue their education in various institutions ofhigher learning. Now, they are men preforming their work and putting their accumulated knowledge to good use in their various fields of endeavor. During these years of experience. they have cleared up many questions and solved many problems which they had during their high school days. All thirty-two alumni of 55 are back once more on the campus of their Alma Mater for a dual purpose: They are attempting a class reunion and also to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the found - ation of the School. It is a very joyous occasion and'very unusual, too, because it is seldom that you see a perfect attendance at such an event. There is much excitement in the air as old friends and classmates meet each other once more after thirtyefive years of separation. For some, though, the separation has not been so long. Such is the case of Phillip Collins, Eugene Kovacs, and Ronald Provencher, who have been working together as civil engineers. Their home office is located in Brooklyn, New York, with branches all over the country. Some of the Class of 55 are renowned engineers. For instance, Roger Beaupre has recently made public his plans for the construction of a new type of railroad motor. You may well be interested in the fact that Wilfred Dufour is his right hand man! The men ofSt. Francis have spread all over the world and have entered many professions. They have been brought here to Biddle- ford through the courtesy of T.W.A. for whom no other than Gerard Bosse is chiefpilot. Another classmate who chose aviation is Robert Ross,he now owns the largest air charter service in the New England area. We might very well add another purpose to this meeting. We must say farewell to some of our old classmates. Dr. Richard L'Heureux, M.D. and his assistant Dr. Patrick Martin, Jr.,M.D. are leaving shortly for the Dark Continent to set their practice among the needy Africans. Another of our departing conferees is Maj. Robert Vermette who has accepted a command in the Far East. 24 J WW The School has also made a great contribution to the business world. h Roger Daigle has risenalmost to the top of the business world by being first Vice-president ofthe largest chain store on the Pacific coast. The reason for his being only vice-ptesident is because none other than our own Jean-Louis Nicknait is president. Henry Ross has also been climb- ing tothetop. He recently has taken over his father's enterprise, which has grown tremendously in the past few years. His keenest competitor is his friend and also a Biddeford native, Raymond Gagne. Another group of graduates of S. F. has chosen the field of engineer- ing in which to make their contribution toward the scientific progress of their country. These men, Roland Dumais, John Ouellette, Roget Jalbert, and Rodney Milliard, are installing the world's most powerful 3-D color television station, WLIV, under the direction of Wilfred H. Gagnon, Jr. --chief engineer. l f the person of John Plourde, tax collector of Madawaska, the metropolis of Northern Maine. To help the unwilling pay their taxes, Mr. Plourde h There is bound to be a Shylock in every group, and we have one in K calls in the chief of the State Police, George Fellows. In the employment of the Federal government, we have Bernard Nadeau as a foreign relatlons man We have also Raymond Neveu working for Washington as a nuclear phystcrsts Before leavrng for thts reunion he had Just completed important work on a top secret pmJect Hts assrstant, Bernard Maurais lS helptng Prof. Neveu w1th the intricate mathematical calculation necessary to perform such deli- cate work. At the termination of this event we will all proceed to the newly constructed chapel to hear solemn benediction by the Rev, Mgr Raymond Lambert, the only one of the class to become a member of the clergy, As we reach the end of the roster, we see that the remaining two members, Dr. Reginald Poulin and Dr. Eugene Michaud have taken medical careers and have set up practices in their respective cities. e 1w 5., hf 252;: e You now have met the members of the Class of '55 and have seen what profession each has chosen to reach that ultimate goal-- happiness in a successful career. After this memorable meet ing, everyone will return to their homes and places of work and continue to spread the Christian Principles they learned here at their Alma Mater. Wilfred H. Gagnon.
