WATCH THE TELEVISION PROGRAM JUNE 14, 1963 WHEN THE BIBLE HILL TELEVISION THEATRE PRESENTS A PREMIERE SHOWING OF ' la4:9t4e774t4waqof-life' Intrigued by this attractive announcement printed in daffodil yellow on soft green paper, I proceeded to read further. Were my eyes deceiving me? No, the program description was clearly detailed in simple words. A cast of thirty-five, the entire Class of 1953 who were graduated exactly ten years ago from St. Mary High School, Claremont, are starred in this presentation. Surprised and pleased, as any loyal St. Mary alumna would be, and with a natural newspaper reporter's urge to secure news, I hurried to phone Claire Chamberland St. Sauveur, for more information. Claire, who had always been an active member of the Class of 1953, and was now a local housewife, assured me that the program should prove worthy of an Emmy award for excellence. Weeks of careful preparation, including dozens of letters and phone calls necessary to contact the scattered class mem- bers and to arrange for a group personal appearance, gave promise of a successful production. With a young son clamoring for her attention, Claire was forced to end our conversation, but before doing so sug- gested that I visit Rollin Baldwin, manager of the Bible Hill television studio. Upon following her suggestion, I learned that the idea for this type of program had originated with the ever-ingenious Pinky who felt that it would serve two purposes: provide appealing entertainment for any television audience, and guarantee one hundred per cent attendance at a ten-year class reunion. Employing the facile pen of Mary Thi- bault, now an X-ray technician at the local hospital, and the dramatic talent of Rene Brodeur, a certified public accountant, Pinky delightedly approved the results of their joint efforts, a series of scenes bringing every 1953 graduate into focus under the general title of Along the Pathway of Life. My perusal of the manuscript revealed that Mary and Rene had written a clever human interest drama sparkling with humor in its portrayal of the current everyday life of each class member. Before leaving to attend a conference, Pinky referred me to his secretary, Annette L'Heureux, for further discussion of the pro- gram. In her usual charming manner, Annette explained that several of her class- mates lived in Claremont or its immediate vicinity so that it had been easy to secure their enthusiastic cooperation in the project. In addition to Claire St. Sauveur, who had graciously consented to act as chairman of the planning committee, others were Florine Girard, the studio receptionist, Norman Sirois, the studio's capable engineer, and versatile Irene Lapointe, its program director. Denise Theroux, private secretary to Mr. Norman LaRoche, president of Claremont Papercrafters Corporation, willingly as- sumed the task of locating, classmates and handling the ensuing correspondence. The eyecatching illustrated booklet sent to each member of the class represented the combined artistic talent of Louise Dion and Gerard Lague, two of Norman's art department employees. Norman also permitted Lucille Bacon, his office switchboard operator, to place unlimited calls in connection with the project. Turning around to her desk, Annette picked up a copy of the Twin Valley Gazette and proudly pointed to a well- written feature article headed Bible Hill Television Theatre To Feature Unique Pro- gram on June 14. A by-line gave credit to Gerald Gingras for this excellent piece of reporting and stated that Jerry had momen- tarily stepped aside from his work as sports columnist to do this feature. In glancing over the page, the picture of an attractive Powers model met my gaze. Looking more closely, my recognition of Lorraine Cote was confirmed byrthe explan- atory paragraph underneath the picture. This stated that she planned an extended visit to Claremont during which she would appear on television with her class. Her usual traveling companion, Armante Grenier, a nationally-known beautician, was to ac- company her, while photographer Maurice Martineau had been appointed by his news- paper, the New York Herald to do a pictorial story of Lorraine's activities in her home city. As I retumed the paper to Annette, she smilingly called my attention to a large framed photograph of Lorraine Boisson- neault in the uniform of an airplane steward- ess. Annette explained that Lorraine flew regularly between New York and Paris, frequently in a plane piloted by Roger Lewis. A third member of the crew was registered nurse Doris Lepicier. All had arranged their schedules to permit participation in the proposed telecast. With an apology for the interruption, Florine appeared in the doorway to remind Annette of a previous appointment with Cecile Garneau, physical education teacher and girls' basketball coach in the Manchester school system. As I thanked Annette for a pleasant and informative visit, she remarked that Arthur Dion, proprietor of the city's leading Supermarket and Spa could give me further information if I wished it. I decided to lunch at the Spa and renew Arthur's acquaintance. He greeted me cordially, and promptly invited me to be his luncheon guest. Recommending choice items from a tempting menu, he placed the order with a waitress. As we ate and talked, Arthur spoke proudly of Rudy Fortin, renowned pitcher for the Milwaukee Braves, who was ex- pected home long enough to make an ap- pearance with his class on the program. Dick Barton, racing car operator at the Detroit Hippodrome, was to drive Rudy home. Another passenger in the car would be Dr. Richard Beaulieu, owner-veterinarian of the Long Island Stables and Kennels, who planned to meet his fellow classmates in New York. Changing the subject momentarily, I complimented Arthur on the excellence of the food being served. He informed me that much of the credit was due Harry Descoteau, manager of the local Foodmaster plant, who personally supervised all Spa orders, thus assuring a continuous supply of the best products. Genially greeting a prosperous- looking young businessman who paused at our table, Arthur introduced the three-term president of the Class of 1953, Harold Cloutier. Cookie had just arrived from Philadelphia, his headquarters as chief gov- ernment inspector of meats for the entire eastern coast region. Appointed master of ceremonies for the telecast, Cookie was on his way to the studio for briefing in his role. Before leaving, he inquired for Armand Lefevre and Red Syriac. Arthur replied that both had enlisted in the Air Force immediately after graduation, had decided to make a career of military life, and were now Captains stationed at the Newington air base. With our luncheon finished, Arthur left for his Supermarket, leaving me to chat with his Spa hostess, Gloria Sevigny. Knowing of my interest in the Class of 1953, Gloria spoke enthusiastically of Gerald Picard, now a well-known Boston pianist, and of Claire Roy and her assistant, Phyllis McElreavy, popu- lar dancing teachers. These three, and Marilyn Clough of the Tot and Teen Dra- matic Studio, had been assigned specialty numbers in Along the Pathway of Life. Continuing joyfully, Gloria said that the whole class was rejoicing in a letter received that morning from Jeannette Limoges, now a Sister of Mercy, who had been granted permission to appear briefly on the program in portrayal of the religious life. On this note of happiness I took my departure, confident that the Class of 1953 would attract and delight a large television audience with their novel presentation- Along the Pathway of Life. We? ' Soon we must go the way of all former students and leave the classrooms that have sheltered us throughout our high school years, and so it is with a feeling of nostalgia that we bid these familiar halls adieu. With the rapid approach of the moment when we will receive our diplomas, and as we look forward to future endeavors, we pause a moment to leave you, our classmates, our prized possessions. Provisions of this will are dependent upon the guarantee that you, our legatees, will continue the traditionally high standards of St. Mary High School. Our general bequests follow: To the Class of 1956 we bequeath our social initiative, an ingredient necessary for success. To the Class of 1955 we bequeath our love for books. To the Class of 1954 we bequeath our luck in their senior year. Individuals of the Class of 1953 bequeath: Anthony Sadoques Leo St. Martin Roger P. Lewis Friendliness Harold C.

PRAYER FOR PEACE O Prince of Peace, during this joyous season shower upon the world the true spirit of Christmas-Peace and Love. Give to depressed countries new courageg to our men in the service, the will to go on in their fight for peaceg to those ill and sorrowful, new happiness and joy in life, and to all, consideration and kindness for their fellow- ITICII. We beg of you, dear God, to give men the grace to abolish hatred and conflict and to enlighten their minds so that they will strive for a world united in peace. Enkindle their hearts with sincere brotherly love so that they may spread your spirit of peace throughout the world. As we light the candle of peace in our homes this Christmas, fill us with an over- powering love for You Whom we implore for peace on earth to men of good will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FOOTBALL Scarcity of football candidates last fall caused the usual eleven-man team to be replaced by the only six-man team in the state. Coach Omer Rousseau and his assistants, Kike George and Walt Granger, developed a hard-fighting unit through intensive daily practice. The Comets traveled to Eliot, Maine, for their first game. Displaying the qualities of a polished club, the St. Mary six-man team triumphed with a 26-20 score over the Pine Tree State sextet. Eliot High came to Claremont the following week and for the second time suffered defeat at the hands of the rugged Comets. This return game with Eliot ended a brief but successful 1952 football season for St. Mary High. Captain Roger Lewis, Toby Sirois, Gerard Lague, and Art Dion will be lost to the team by graduation, but Dave Gaudette, Roland Pinard, Tony Sadoques, Leo Lawrence, Pete Lesnick, Tom Barton, Jean Jacques, Jim Tebo, and several reserves, give promise of a successful 1953 season. if Ei 'vfsufir 1 2 an-we 4 f,w1M4bw 1'iHEMahawe , t A .mi N Kneeling: Donald Lapointe, David Gaudette, Capt.

BASKETBALL With but one veteran player, Coach Omer Rousseau again this year proved his ability to produce a good team based primarily on Junior Varsity material. After a fast start the Comets sped on their way to another fine season, ending with a 16-8 record, and even participating in the quarter-finals of the New Hampshire tournament. As members of the Twin State League, the Comets finished in a tie for third place with a record of 9-5. Toby Sirois, who scored thirty-six points in one game, placed first in the Twin State League individual scoring record. At the end of a rugged twenty-four game schedule, the Comets had scored a total of 1370 points, holding a 57.0 offensive game average to the oppositions' average of 45.9. Under the able direction of Coach Rous- seau, these team members made such a successful season possible: Captain Rudy Fortin, Toby Sirois, Pete Lesnick, Dave Gaudette, Don Lapointe, Leo Lawrence. Comet fans look to the latter four players to form the nucleus of a tournament team next year. - lt ' BASEBALL First Row: Leo Lawrence, Norman Boucher, Jean Jacques. Second Row: Roger Lewis, Capt.

The Comets won their first two games, dropped the second game of a twin bill to Windsor, and then racked up fourteen triumphs in a row as they raced to attain the state title. Rudy Fortin's outstanding 10-1 record marked him as a leader among the Granite State's top pitchers, while Cookie Cloutier finished creditably with a 6-0 slate as a hurler. Leo Lawrence led the team in batting with a .443 mark and powered twenty-nine runs across. Spirit played an important part in the team's success all season long. This spirit, and the loyal backing of St. Mary students and fans, reached its zenith in the tourney games when the Blue and White whipped Plymouth, Gorham, and Exeter to win the Crown. Each player on the squad contributed his full share to the team's success. No one appreciated the indivi- dual efforts and achievements of these boys more than Coach Belair. In turn, Coach Belair's untiring work with the champions evoked and merited the loyalty, admiration, and gratitude of the 1952 Class B New Hampshire baseball champions.
