Academy ■ DEEICATION We, the class of 1932, think it only fitting and proper to take this opportunity to dedicate our year book to one who has done so much for us and made our path so cheerful. We take pleasure in dedicating this book to Peverend Father Riordan, our good and loyal pastor. John T. Glennon ’32 Address of Welcome On behalf of the graduating Class of 1932, it gives me great pleasure to greet you and to bid you welcome to these exercises held yearly at Saint Mary’s both in commemoration of Memorial Day and as part of our class Day program. It has been and will continue to be, a source of great inspiration to us, that you have been so genuinely interested in our progress from year to year and that you still care enough to come here at this time, both but of respect for our dead heroes and to manifest your interest in our work. The visitors of the various societies are most cordially welcome to our exercises. Your good-will has manifested itself in the unceasing interest you have shown in our school and we thank you most sincerely. We hope that you will enjoy our offering as much as will our friends the Juniors, — Nor o ir admission shall your realm disgrace, Nor length of time our gratitude efface. Great is the dignity of priests, to whom that is given which is not granted to angels. I To bring Jesus down upon earth in his priestly hands What a ministry!

The morning of which I speak dates hack to September, 1928, when form every dir¬ ection of our big town, there sailed into St. Mary’s Academy, about thirty boys and girls, who when united, formed the glorious class of 1932. So did the history of our class begin. Commencing with that very first morning, when under the kindl direction of our beloved pastor, Father Riordan, who at the expiration of a few salutary words of advice, assigned us to our class room. Here under the guidance of Sister Rose Vincent, we made a good imitation of learning the intricacies of Algebra, and the rud¬ iments of Latin. During our first year, base-ball was renewed at St. Mary’s. Our class, freshmen though we were, was ably represented by John Hourihan, John Glennon and Joseph Gallagher. Then too, we were calle upon to share in the social activities of the school, which we did with all the zest and energy that has since characterized the class of 1932. June arrived, and with it good-bye to school and books for ten long weeks. Our first year was over and we departed to enjoy our vacation with the sense of a work well done.” After vacation, for the second time we entered the po rtals of St. Mary ' s, and this time, with more confidence for were we not sophomores? We tackled the books again, this tine under the watch¬ ful eye of Sister Francis Assissium. But unfortunately, before the year was half over, bister became ill, and Sister Rose Vincent was called upon to take her place. As Sophomores, we again contributed to all social and athletic endeavors. Our stars in basket-ball this year were Joseph Gallagher, John Glennon and William Noe. We van- our rivals, Milford High, in two overwhelming defeats in baseball and we were also fortunate in the scholastic line by being represented on the debating team. The summer vacation soon came, and although sorry to leave school, we received it with smiles, repressing the sad sighs that arose, for we knew that September would soon come. Our third or junior year, was in many respects the most eventful of our course. This year brought us a parting of ways for some chose the Commercial Course under Sister Rose of the Holy Name, and others, the Classical, with Sister Saint Ignatius. Class elections were held and the officers chosen were: John Davoren for PresidentRita Pyne for Vice President; Ann Lally for Secretary and Elizabeth Meade, for Treasurer. On the basket-ball squad, we were again represented by Jphn Hourihan, Joseph Gallagher, and William Noe. While in baseball we defeated Milford High for the second, time, gaining a firmer hold on the Daily News Baseball Trophy. Here again, John Nolan and Franci Stock, two ‘-ro e Juniors were largely responsible for our reputation as high scorers. This year we produced the ’’Georgia Minstrels” and ’’Turning the Trick”, the juniors again renewing their past successes. Senior year came at last and we were impressed with our own dignity when we saw how the Freshmen looked up to us. We tried to imagine how they must feel at seeing this glorious class of dig¬ nified young men and women, who took the first place in everything. How serious and self-possessed they we e in debates, actually defeat¬ ing Cathedral for possession of the coveted Bishop O ' Leary Cup. How CLASS POEM A little while ago, our hearts were full. Full of fair dreams of things we planned to do, Mow dreams have given place to bitterness, The time has come when we must part from you. In youthful fire our fondest dreams shone bright, The self-same fire has burned to ash ’ere now, The word farewell must cross our paths today, We knov. ; not hew. With sadness born of deepest reverence, And grief that parting calls its very own, Our hearts frame fond farewells to you at last, In faltering tone. Farewell, 0 Alma Mater, Ln the course Of years, may fortune and success be i hine, Remembrance of pleasant days spent We claim for all time. Again farewell, We cannot add thereto, The fancied pleasures shat within us dwell, Our hearts are much too full for further speech, Again farewell. MEK DEBATING St. Mary 1 s High School has been represented yearly by the best debating teams in the Springfield Diocese. During the last four years the teams attained their greatest success, reaching the finals three times and winning the championship twice. The record of the school speaks volumes for the work of Father Donahue, the coach of the teams 7 rho gave his time whole-heartedly and unstintingly toward these achieve¬ ments. In our Freshman year the debaters won the Bishop O’Leary cup sym¬ bolical of the diocesan championship, by defeating St. Joseph’s High of Pittsfield in the latter’s City. They reached the finals by vanquishing the forensic forces of St. John’s and the Sacred Heart of Worcester. Although the class of ’32 was not represented on the teams, the boys she ed much promise and received praise and recognition from Father Donahue. In 1930, the finals were attained, but the decision was awarded to Cathedral High of Springfield, in a very close and interesting debate. In order to reach the finals the team conquered St. Louis of Webster, and St. John’s of Worcester. Joseph Gallagher as alternate was our sole representative. The following year the juniors blossomed forth in all their glory and the team included these of the class of 1932: John Davoren, George Trudell, and Joseph Gallagher. Although the boys work¬ ed very hard, they were not as fortunate as in other years and lost in the preliminaries to St. Peter’s of Worcester. This defeat nullified the triumph obtained by the affirmative over Sacred Heart of Worcester, as tv o victories were necessary to reach the finals. This defeat lost us the cup, as St. John’s Y ho had two previous legs on the trophy won again, and obtained permanent possession of the cup. The next year St. Mary’s won the first leg on the new trophy dona¬ ted by Bishop O’Leary, by defeating our archrivals, Cathedral High. Prior to this triumph, the team conquered Sacred Heart of Worcester, and St. Bernard’s of Fitchburg. The boys on the debating team included three members of the class of ’32: George Trudell, John Burns, and Joseph Gallagher. May the glory of St. Mary’s never die and may her debating teams be ever successful - these are the earnest wishes of the class of 1932. Joseph E. Gallagher ’32. DRAMATICS Three years have elapsed, since the Dramatic Club was introduced into St. Mary’s Eigh School and the class of ’32 has been pro¬ minent in every branch of this organization. The primary purpose of the Dramatic Club is to raise funds for the support of St. Mary’s Ath¬ letic Association. The Georgia Minstrels, was the first attempt. Joseph Gallagher, a talented member of the class of ’32 sang his way into fame as a mem¬ ber of the Georgia Quartet. This first endeavor of St. Mary’s was well received and a financial success. In May of that same year, St. Mary’s produced Hot, Ain’t Itl , a rural comedy in three acts. In November of the following year a snappy Minstrel Show was presented under the direction of versatile Eddie Sullivan. This was St. Mary’s best effort so far, and the class of ’32 was largely responsible for its success. In May 1931, the Club produced a mystery thriller, the class of ’32, true to form, contributing to the evening’s splendid per¬ formance. During the past year, 1931, the Dramatic Club presented a musical comedy entitled, Hinky Doodle Town . Joseph Gallagher as a social refor¬ mer and George Trudell as a county sheriff gave a very creditable performance. In the supporting cast were many members of the class of ’32:- Leo Sears, William Quirk, John Roche, John Burns, Gen¬ evieve Casey, Ann Lally, Alice Tenant.y, Doris Bul¬ lard, Rita Pyne, Sarah Byron, Barbara Dillon, Eliz¬ abeth Meade and Rita Maheu. The Dramatic Club has been enthusiastic¬ ally supported by the present senior class from its inception. It is the sincere and the whole-hearted wish of the class of ’32, that it may continue to increase and prosper, and bring lasting fame and hon¬ or to St. Mary’s High School. John Davoren ’32. BASEBAL L The Baseball team of this season as one of the best that ever represented the school. They have won eleven of the seventeen games played, although ' hey regretted losing the championship of the town to Milford, High. Much credit to the team’s success should be given to Fr. Donahue Director, Sime Hickey the coach, and the Captain Francis Stock. The senior members on the team were Wonoski pitcher, and Gallager and Hourihan first base, G-lennon catcher, Nolan centerfield, and 1 anas’er Willian Quirk: The scores are: St. Mary s 11 18.

St. Mary s Academy Basketball team finally woke up and began to make a record that was the envy 6 ' f the county. Coach Doc Crockett started the season with four veterans for his varsity quintet, namely: Bill Noe, Joe Curley, Jack Hourihan and Joe Gallagher, These veterans plus the newcomer from Holliston, Charlie ' Vtpnoski, comprise the best team that has ever represented St. Mary s on the basketball court. The greatest happening during the basketball season was the winning of the two game series with our arch-rival Milford High who were represented on the basketball court for the first time in the history T of the school. In the first game with Milford High, St. Mary s gave them quite a lesson in basketball beating them 39-9-. But the second game was a different story. Milford, High had a two weeks rest before this game, while St. Mary s were playing six game in eight nights. However after a nip and tuck battle. St. Mary’s again showed their superiority by nosing out Milford High 18-17. The record for the season 1931-38 is as follows: St. Mary s 20 St. Mary s 25 St. Mary s 18 St. Mary s 26 St. Mary s 20 St. Mary s 24 St. Mary s 21 St. Mary s 33 St. Mary s 20 St. Mary s 31 St. ia ary s 31 St. Mary s 32 St. Mary s 38 St. Mary s 19 St. Mary s 21 St. m ary s 53 St. Mary s 52 St. Mary s 21 St. Mary s 39 S t.

The hot-dogs were sold throughout the high School and Grammar School buildings. Every one was sold, and a substantial sum of money was realized for our treasury. The Junior Reception The Junior-Senior Reception and Banquet was held on the evening of Wednesday, June 1, 1952, in the Assembly Kail of St. Mary’s Academy. t eight o’clock, all were assembled. An hour’s program of music nd fun by the Juniors at the expense of the Senior’s dignity was then in order. At 9:15 all sat down to a most enjoyable bancuet. Almost everyone re ained until the end, and all agreed that they had a wonderful time. CLASS ALPHABET A Is for Alice, Albert and Ann, Two are ladies, and one Is a man.

Best wishes from T 3 2, Beulah. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Doris Louise Bullard Doris is known as n Eucie. n She is a good student and has a charming personality. She is kind and gen¬ erous. She is a loyal friend and a staunch supporter of St. Maryfs. Ducie ! s famous smile wins all hearts and has helped to make her a success¬ ful saleswoman at our various sales. Doris expects to travel abroad for a year studying scientific farming in preparation for her poultry farm which she expects to buy and operate. Best wishes from the class, Ducie. j ohn Edward Burns John marched triumphantly through his High School course, making an en¬ viable record as far as marks went. In his senior year he was a member of the prize-winning devating team, and of the basket-ball team. He is also the possessor of a fine tenor voice which was an asset to the Dramatic Club, of which he was a member. The possessor of a keen intellect and a wide range of knowledge, we feel certain that John will go far in the pursuit of education Valet -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Sarah Ann Byron Sarah is The Class Baby, and the most ambitious girl student. She has won fourth place in her class. She is always ready to help and has taken part in the plays we have had for the church and school. Sarah has displayed much executive ability also in our various sales, and it is partly due to her ef¬ forts that they have been so successful Sarah hbpes to be a secretary, and the Class of ’32, wish her every success. I Margaret Mary Carroll Maggie hails from Upton. Since she entered St. iVi ary s she has been a popular member of the class. She has taken an active part in all the school activities . Her pleas¬ ing manners and sweet disposition have won for her many friends. Maggie hopes to be a seamstress and we are sure that Paris fashions will be. a thing of the past when she hangs out her sign in Upton. 32 wishes you success. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Marie Genevieve Casey Gene’s attractive person came into our midst from M.H.S. at the beginning of our third year. Her pleasing smile and cheery dispositioi her love for fun and Crackerjacks, have earned for her a lasting popula: ity with the Class of 32. Her chi ' failings seem to be an inherent dis¬ like for Homework and a faculty for being forever contrary. In spite o: them Gene, we hope that wherever you go, you will find pleasant company and happiness. John Patrick Clement John, while never a great lover of the Classics, is nevertheless one of the most popular boys in the school. Canuck loves the great outdoors and in sports prefers baseball to the more arduous pur suit of Chemistry or Virgil. However, his sunny humor and good nature have won for him our best wishes for continued good luck in his future endeavors. -O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O- John Francis Xavier Davoren John, better known as Shadow, is another one of our popular members. His cheery good nature and easy-going dis¬ position have endeared him to everyone. As a member of the Debating Team, the Dramatic Club, and as a singer of no mea ability, John concealed to some extent a great deal of talent under a lazy ex¬ terior. We are quite sure, nevertheless that John will never forget his last yea at St. Mary ' s for various unmentionable reasons. In spite of it all, good luck to you John, in the years to come. Barbara Matilde Dillon Barbara is a quiet, unassuming young miss, who frequently regales us during class hours with the expression M I haven 1 it? which for some reason or other, al¬ ways seemed to provoke a smile from the class. Nevertheless, be it known, she seems to have made a deep impression on a certain person in another of Milford’s in stitutions of learning. Her popularity being then quite evident, we surely hODe that it will continue always and every¬ where. Au revoirl and best wishes, Tilli -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Joseph Edward Gallagher ' ’.Joe 1 ' our handsome class president, is known to some as Pansy. but to the faculty as just Joseph. Joe’s pop¬ ularity is quite evident to us all, while his talents are innumerable. He v as a member of our champion debating teams for three years, a hard-working player in bas ketball and baseball, a Dramatic Club mem ber and best of all, an honor student. Holy Cross in numbering Joe among her students next fall will receive, we know, a faithful and conscientious scholar. Vale, amici, and sincerest wishes from th class of ’32. John Thomas Glennon Johnnie” distinguished himself when only a soohomore, by his work on the base ball field. In the same year, he upheld the fame of St. Mary’s by his good playin, on the basketball team. Since then he ha continued to be an ardent sportsman and has kept up to the mark throughout. John expects to run a garage in Upton, besides he seems to like that village. We wonder why, Johnnie? Anyway, good luck from ’32 -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Margnret Mary Gurry Margaret, one of our commuters from Upton, seems to be quite popular among he: classmates and especially with the boys. Who could ever forget the Farewell Party, when Margaret decided to leave us for Haverhill? We welcomed her back in April glad that she returned to graduate with us. Her liking for study being in her es¬ timation, of minor importance, we feel sure, nevertheless, that she will eventual ly succeed in her chosen career of physi¬ cal director. Best wishes! _ John Thomas Hourihan ,T Jack n was one of oar many athletes who wore the famous S.M.A. For he was a member of the basketball squad, and he also played on the base¬ ball team. Though not over-studious in regard to his le ssons he did manage to attract a good de$l of attention with his crooning, sometimes to the annoyance of others. Anyway, there doesn ' t seem to be any doubt but that Jack will succeed in all he undertakes. a-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o o Mary Eleanor Kearnan Mary or Eleanor, as she prefers to be called, was one of the popular members of the class. In fact, she was one of these lively girls, who made their way through school gaily, with as little studying as possible. Nevertheless she always managed somehow to pass. he seemed to succeed in getting a great deal of fun out of life, and we trust that she will continue to so so Ann Marie Lally Ann , be sure it is not Anna is our likeable and popular secret¬ ary. Holding the position for two years evinces that fact. Her kind ly, charitable disposition has en¬ deared her to all of us. Her faith fulness tolittle things such as Homework” guarantee the future sue cess of our Ann. Always a diligen student she has made for herself a record of which to be proud. We wish that she could inspire Gene , her inseparable, with a similar am bition. Ann ! s capabilities will lead her far aiong the road to suc¬ cess. Adio s, Anit a! Mary Alvlra Leone Mary was a quiet and faithful student, although she did absent he ' self from our company frequently du ing the past year. Noted always fo: her generosity and kindness, we are sure that the patients who may one day benefit by her administrations, will appreciate these qualities as much as her classmates. Best wishe for success from 32, Mary Mary Rita itaheu Maheu is one of the happiest mem¬ bers of the class. ho matter what happens she always has the same sweet smile. She is a loyal member of the class and is always responsive to all calls for her services. She has att¬ ained some fame in St. Mary 1 s dramatics and rendered valuable aid in all our sales. Rita plans to take up newspaper work. We hope success will crown all your labors, Rita. “ 0—0 —Q —0 —0 —0 —0 — 0 — 0 — 0 — Q — 0 — 0-0 —0 — 0 — 0 — 0“0 — 0 — Elizabeth Ann Meade ElizabetiMs quiet, sunny smile made life pleasant for all whose good fortune it was to know her.

We feel confident that with such an ad¬ mirable beginning, we need not fear for the future. I William Henry Noe Bill is an Uptonian. In the fall of ’28, he came to St. Gary’s with high hopes of being a basketball star.
