CLASS WILL We the Class of 1952 of St Martin of Tours do hereby make and declare I ' ,I this to be our last will and testament, in form and manner as follows: ' 5 J I To Rev Father Quinn we bequeath our deep gratitude fihal veneration and lifelong remembrance, for all the favors he has bestowed upon us. To Father L'Heureux, we give our respectful attachment and sincere appre- ciation for his interest and kindness. To our beloved teachers, our grateful affection and everlasting devotion. Upon the junior Class, we bestow our greatest treasures: our Senior dignity, our excelling wit, our superlative brilliancy, our good looks and charming man- ner, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades and our triumphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever seen-these, the rarest of treasures, we hand down to the coming Seniors. But it would not be fair if we withheld our other valuables, and with great largeness of heart, we pass them along, too. Our capacity for fun, our ability to giggle, our good times, our friendships and our loyalty we do hereby bequeath to the Junior Class, and may they number them among the richest legacies they have ever received. To the Sophomores and Freshmen we convey the power of saying the right things at the wrong times and vice-versa. just how this is accomplished, we are not able to say, each one will need to work the matter out for himself. There is no doubt that they will beneht much from the effort. Now we come to the personal bestowals which have been awarded to indi- viduals with complete consideration to the fitness of the recipient. To Ann Landry, June Murphy leaves her affinity for words, we are sure it will increase Ann's vocabulary a hundredfold. Cecile Lagassey leaves to Mary Theresa Daley her vast treasury of males, with the vow that she's going to die an old maid. Rena Santerre leaves her height to Ronnie Albert, if he gets any taller, we'll have to raise the doorways. Billy Rush leaves to Llewellyn Baron, the brakes of his Nash, in case Swill's don't take in a tight squeeze. - To Shirlene LaPlante, Theresa Jamieson leaves her distinguished laugh, so that she may sound as happy as Theresa. Roland Blanchette gives to Joanne Albert his curly hair, may she make good use of it in the future. Olga Brigalli leaves to Elizabeth Thibodeau her loud voice and boisterous manner, this may help Betty to be heard more easily. Francis Vienneau transfers his sunny disposition to Ralph Caruso, maybe the school will be more quiet now. To Felixine Cote, Mary Griffin gives her diet which' keeps her slim. Don't let it go unused, Felixine. Bobby Guimond bequeaths his boldness and wayward disposition to Cary Landry, hoping Cary will make good use of them. john Costello donates his great ensemble of Hill-billy songs to Rodney Corriveau, hoping Rodney entertains the Classes in his place. To Irene Lagassey, Shirley Pelkey leaves her pose and poise. We hope that these will help her in the future. In witness whereof, we attach the signatures of the Class of 1952: ,sxq -.15 Y.,- vv gl ff'1114nl1!!,11!,zf-5g,,'1q2,,flJ,,',y,f J ,

S . Zaenld For the twelfth time, the September sun has risen on a new school year. This year, however, the sensation is somewhat different, for we realize that it is the last time that we, as children, will be going to school. A feeling of joy, mingled with regret, enhances us. Upon our arrival, the merry group, who, for so many years, shared our toils and leisures, are-no more. It seems strange, but they tell us that we will gradually become accustomed to it. Days glide into weeks, and the various activities take form once more. SEPTEMBER 7 First day of school. 17 Witnessed the election of officers of: The St. Thom- as Aquinas Study Circle, The Knights of Our Lady, Forum, Civics, Latin, French, Science and Athle- tics Clubs. 18 Something new: a Y.C.S.A., Young Catholic Stu- dents' Association. Yes, we're out to improve St. Martin's: its standards, morals, studies, manners, sportsmanship, and so on. Wish us success. With God's help we'll get places. 20 It's about time that we Seniors get organized. Elec- tions revealed the choice of the following officers: President, Robert Guimondg Vice-President, John Costello: Secretary, Mary Griffin, Treasurer, Mary Murphy. ' 26 The afternoon off. So sudden! 14th anniversary of the Sisters' arrival in this parish. 27 Our first social sponsored by the Seniors was en- joyed by all. 29 Days of salvation. Two Redemptorist Fathers gave us teen-agers very enlightening talks during the mission held here this week. It is up to us to pro6t by them. OCTOBER 10 First open Forum. Our new chairman, Cecile La- gassey, tries her authority. Our little Freshmen are not so green after all, they already took an active part in discussions. 19 Principal's feast day. Greetings, congratulations and especially GRATITUDE. 24 Study Club meeting. With such an able President as Francis Vienneau, we are going to improve our manners and study habits or else . . . 25 The Seniors spent a good part of the afternoon beautifying themselves. Easy to understand that it would take some time . . . Graduation pictures taken. 31 Last minute decision for a Hallowe'en Social. Cos- tumes were elaborate, funny, ridiculous, apropos, etc .... NOVEMBER 5 The Latin Club received its junior Classical League Charter. The dead language is surely get- ting lively. 4 At a sodality meeting today, the sodalists voted to receive communion and pray the rosary in a body on the first Saturday of every month. 8 Eureka! A spaghetti feed. Nice financial success. The Senior Class Fund is progressing slowly but surely. ll We open Education Week by organizing our New Library. Books are purchased with the proceeds of the school socials, It makes us look smart, re- gardless. 14 Education Week assembly: the important school clubs perform skits, demonstrating their various activities. Parents and friends compose the au- dience. 16 Eloquent speech by Father L'I-Ieureux was fol- lowed by an open forum on Christian Education. 22-23 No school. Thanksgiving recess. 27 Last social before Advent. Let's enjoy ourselves, it's later than we think. DECEMBER 18 Pictures for the yearbook. Look pretty, everybody! 20 First basketball game played by our brand new team against East Millinocket. We lost. 21 Christmas Vacation begins! Believe it or not, but we need a rest. 27 Alumni Meeting. The Class of '51, all smiles as usual met in their Home-Room to draw up plans for the Alumni Constitution. That same night they are entertained at a Social put on by the Class of '52. - JANUARY 7 School reopens. Time is gliding! Senior Play re- hearsals. More pictures taken for the Yearbook. We feel more and more like Seniors, but do we show our feelings? . . . 8 Basketball game down East . . . We lost again. We, at least, are learning good sportsmanship in losing. I4 Today, no school for the Seniors. A holiday? . . . Oh, no. We are out soliciting ads for the l952 VICTORIA. The schools are fortunate to have co-operative businessmen. 21-22 Mid-Year Exams. Why do we have to do such things? 23 Bang! That was the balloon and fun at the Social prepared by our dear little Freshmen. We needed to relax after the strain of the Exams. 28 Lo and behold! A bright plastic wall finishes the new Freshman Class which leaves the former Freshman Class a long, well-lighted spacy room for Home Ec. where the girls learn the art of good housekeeping.
