I i...... Anna Curley DEDICADOM ”1i here there is no vision the people perish,” There is in this ' venerable quotation, a fund of reflcb- tion for us, V ith justice, v e may say that where there is no vi¬ sion, education perishes. For the vision referred to of necessi¬ ty has to be a vision of eternal truth. It has to be something much more substantial than mere phrases throvm into well sounding speech,It has to be something much more enduring than mere flights of the imagination,It cannot be an appeal to mere emotion,It has to correspond to real substantial objects in reality. It has to exemplify the truth because it must be the truth. Since, therefore, in our day at least, the people learn to know and love the truth largely through the teachers who guide them, education itself must have a vision or the people perish.If the teacher lacks the vision how can the education he or she im¬ parts possess it? If education lacks vision,v hat v ill preserve it? Happily v e have never been V anting in that vision here at St, Mary ' s, Her teachers, the highly regarded Sisters of St. JosephjV ere personal embodiments of it. They not merely pointed it out to us. They themselves first of all possessed it. They gave it to us in the most beautiful of all ways a personal liv¬ ing by it.It was apparent in the poise and gesture of their daily lives. We sav it not ' far av ay but immediately before us in the beauty and simplicity, the devotion and self-sacrifice of their hourly occupation v ith us. They did not preach it in prose or po¬ etry unless v e mean by that that we could not help but read it in the prose and poetry of their busy,unselfish,unassuming zeal to serve the little ones of Christ, Indeed, v e at St, Mary ' s had a vision. It v as a vision which first sav the light of day in a deserted cave in far away Bethlehem. There was truth and beauty and peace in it. The Truth Itself was there in Bethlehem. Perfect Peace was there. The un¬ challenged Beauty of Eternity was there. Those who sav that Vision never were the same afterv ards. They couldn ' t be. To bring that Vision from Bethlehem to us was the beginning and the end of the very presence of ' a Sister of St, Joseph in our classroom. Every word she uttered, every line she drev , everv book she opened was for that ' noble purpose. Our classroom, therefore, had something about it, often enough indiscernible. e knew we were not merely in a classroom. V e knew that something more than the mere pur¬ suit of languages and history and science made our achaol ..days the happy v onderful days they were, 7e had teachers who had a Vision, They loved it so much themselves that it became part of them.Prom them the possession of it and the love for it came to us, t , We dedicate this Yearbook to these valiant wo ' men.We hope in this fashion to offer to the Sisters of St,Joseph one token of gratitude at least for their scrupulous care of the trust which v as theirs to show us the Vision. Me ask them to keep us in their thoughts and prav ers tliat by the Goodness and Mercy of God we may ever cherish and preserve that Vision, 2, is fitting th: t the Blue Mantle should contain some recognition of Our Holy Father, Pope Pius XII for it v as during our Senior year that this Vicar of Christ assumed the awful responsibility of the governruent of the Catho¬ lic Church throughout the world. Vihen Pope Pius XI passed to his eternal reward, mourned by the v orld - every nation except Red Russia extended sympathy - the eyes of all were focused on Rome to see v ho would be the choice of the Conclave, Cardinal Pacelli was chosen and the entire Catho¬ lic World accepted him as the choice of God.There is no doubt that he is the ablest man living to occupy the chair of St. Peter.He is learned, able and above all he is saintly. Before his coronation,he served as Secretary of the Pap¬ al State and hence has a keen insight into the problems which con¬ front the Vicar of Christ. There are some very interesting inci¬ dents connected with Pope Pius XII, that is little vagaries vdnich set him aside from the other Popes. He ’was the first Pope to riae in an airplane, the first to have visited the United States, the first to have had his election broadcast to the world by radio. Non-Catholics as well as Catholics admit that he is the best suited person for this highly exalted and responsible office. His career as a priest was marked by the brilliancy of his intel¬ lect, the capable performance of his duty as a diplomat but above all by his sincere piety. He was Papal Nuncio to Munich from 1917 to 1920 and displayed great prudence and wise judgment at a time when secular leaders were led astray into the by-paths which have kept the world in a constant turmoil oven to this day. Ho is a distinguished scholar and linguist being a mas¬ ter of French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portugeese and Latin.His gift of tongues has served him well in his various trips as Secretary of the Papal State. He addressed large audiences in this country in English and just as easily in French and other languages when the occasion reo,uired. The first official messages sent out to the Catholic World by Pope Pius XII was a message addressed particularly to the youth of the world. It v as a pi e a to show external as well as in¬ ternal devotion to the Mother of God.He encouraged daily Mass,fre¬ quent Communion and fidelity to May Devotions. V ' e honor and obey the Pope as Christ ' s Vicar. Therefore, if our love and devotion are sincere, we shall lieod his voice and we shall answer his summons calling us to the feet of Christ ' s Mother, the source of peace and fr£iternal unity. Josceh ' Nells ' 39 TRI ' UTE TO PATHTR RIORDAN To pon a fitting tribute to Father Riordan has been a hard task, and one utterly above cur mea¬ ger talents.lt is most difficiilt to find words suit¬ able to describe our friend, benefactor, and pastor. His wise counsel, and sage philosophy, his vigorous, wit and kindly banter, have indelibly stamped him in our hearts as our friend, b ' e have only to look about us at the material .and spiritual blessings,with which he has provided us, to realize forever that he ’ s truly our benefactor.As pastor his fearlessness and enlight¬ ened guidance have eased our paths, and helped us over the rough spots of adolesence as we groped hesitating¬ ly along. Vi e could continue in this vein for pages and pages and still, fall short of the mark ' -’fe are striving for, namely,to show our heartfelt apprecia¬ tion to i ather Riordan for v;hat he has done in our behalf. We cannot express our gratitude in words but if our hearts could be analyzed therein, would be, found our thanks deeply engraved in eternal letters. V ' e realize our inadequacy in expressing our thanks in words, so v e can, and v;ill alwa-ys continue to do so in our prayers, ever asking God to bless His priest and militant champion, to spare him, to St. Mary ' s for many years to come that other cio.sses fcl- lov ing ours, may share as we have in Father Riordan ' s wisdom, wit and piety. kathleen Bardsley � 39 THOUGHTFUL MD KINDLY, A PATRON OF THE SCHOOLS FATHER RIORDAN OUR LOYAL FRIEND AND KINDLY miTOR REV, J.P. DONAHUE OUR JOVIAL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR REV. FRANCIS RUPPRECHT U® (f� . ffiOWMEHQItt St, Mary’s High School is fortunate in having for its principal Father Donahue. He is a true shepherd to the little flock cor-miitted to his care v;ithin the confines of our Alma Mater, Long shall we remember the words of advice and wisdom v;hich he gave us and which we hope with the grace of God,to put into practice in our lives. He is a true friend,a kindly advisor,a tender Father - in other words another Christ. Our gratitude cannot be expressed in words VVe can only pledge our loyalty in return for his friendship and promise that we shall be faithful to his teaching and example. U® CFffi. ttQJ[I [fffi(I®OHU Father Rupprecht has been director of Athlet¬ ics at St, Mary’s for the past five years and during that time he has won the respect and admiration of the athletes and the entire student body. He is an inde¬ fatigable worker in the interests of everything connec¬ ted with St, Mary’s, The Class of’39 is deeply appreciative of his efforts and we take this opportunity to express our sin¬ cere tlianks and hope that he may long remain at St, Mary’s to guide and direct future classes.

Liurphy, ' pastor of St, Llary’s Church, Uxbridge, left the altar, a priest of God and an ar.ibassador of Christ, On that solemn and Joyous occasion he heard the words of the Bishop, ”Go forth and teach ye all nations-Thou art a priest forever”, Truly Father Lurphy has lived up to the obligations imposed upon him on that day. Truly, he is a priest of God, he guides his flock v ith paternal care and it is the youth of his parish which claims his greatest care. Not long after be¬ coming pastor in Uxbridge, Father started the flow of Catholic students to St. hary ' s High School, Ills group, of boys and girls grov s larger year by year, manifesting his zeal in the cause of Catholic education. The boys and girls of Uxbridge cherish Father liurphy as a guide and friend. They admire his strength of character and his unfailing charity. They appreciate all he has done for them and ask God to bless him v lth many fruitful years of ser¬ vice in the vineyard of the I master. In closing our tribute to a great man of God, v;e can think of no greater lines than the Call of Christ, to which he so nobly responded:- Come, if thou lovest he, feedUiy lambs. Thou knowest I love Thee, Lord Then take and give the priceless gifts LIy bounty both afford. Teach them the mysteries of Ily love V ho heareth thee, heareth lie. And when Thou sayest, ”I absolve”. Thou turnest heaven’s key. In memory of He, each morn Thou’It drink the sacred wine.

Helen Gordon-An artist. Eileen McCarthy-Sob-story writer. As the curtain rises, we see Dorothy absorbed in reading the paper. The door bell rings and Helen and Eileen enter to enjoy an ' in¬ formal chat. Dorothy; Hello Helen, Hi Eileen, come in and make yourselves at home. (Girls flop easily into chair) Helen: Oh, I’m all a flutter, I just left Mary Collins’ Hat Shop , I got a real bargain, a honey marked way down. Mary always was good at striking bargains. Dorothy: Say, did you hear about Cecelia Grant? Eileen: No, Tell us about it. Helen: Sure, let us in on it. Dorothy: It isn ' t much I guess. It’s just that she’s been after Edward ' ' Vhalley hammer and tongs since he became pres¬ ident of the VVhalley-Goddard-Eeenan Airline Inc. and- Eileen: That’s ancient history. Dot. I heard that yesterday so let me broadcast my trip to California. I’m just burst¬ ing with r.ll the news I have gathered en route. Think of it, just as I was boarding the train I saw the en¬ gineer, face and hands begrimed with grease and dirt and he walked right over to me with the assurance of an old friend. Imagine the surprise I got when I dis¬ covered that he was Donald Witcher. At New York I took passage on one of the S.S. Small Steamships, controlled and operated by our nov; famous classmate, Joseph Small. I didn’t meet Joe personally but, walking up the gang¬ plank I was saluted by two gallant and husky seamen. It took a second look to convince ms that they were rep¬ resentatives of old St. Mary’s, Stanley Gac and John Ford. Behind the ship’s large bar stood Joseph Wells whom I learned was the best mixer-up. I ordered a glass of ginger ale and had a little chat with Joe over the rim. Joe told me that Ernie Bouchard v as the ship’s head steward. The boat was not leaving until evening so I decided to take in a ball game. The Yankees were playing the Red Sox and I knew some of the players so was interested. ” Batteries for the Red Sox bellowed the umpire Murphy pitch, Eckersall catch . The Sox won and I loft New York in a happy frame of mind Imowing that two classmates had helped to bring the victory. After a pleasant voyage I landed in San Francisco. It was Election Day and stretched across tho Main St. was a sign proclaiming to the world that Joseph Scannell, was running for Governor.Underneath in less conspicu¬ ous script I read that Big Bill IC nnedy was campaign manager for Scannell.

Now don ' t be hateful, Helen, you ' re only wasting time. All right since you are too lazy to guess, I ' ll tell you it ' s Joan Tobey. Joan Tobey?Will v onders never cease and this very morn¬ ing. I read in the paper that r.Iafalda DeSalvia is living oh Hug de la paix. Rue de la paix? Pourquoi? Glad you haven ' t forgotten all your French, Helen, but what is Mafalda doing in Paris, Dot? She ' s designing fashions and has an international repu¬ tation for originality and- Really, what a diversity of paths the members of 1939 have chosen. There ' s Mary McKenna writing novels by the carload and Arlene Quirk hostess for the American Air¬ line Company, and Leon Osachuk- Of course. Leon, we all knew he would do something big but just imagine working his way to the very top of the Sinclair Oil Co.I met Grace Mitchell and Eddie Beyer in California and almost forgot to mention Jennie Koss. What are they doing? Grace Mitchell was entertaining at a dance and was ass¬ isted and escorted by Eddie Beyer. Jennie has hit star¬ dom with M.G.M. Girls who do you think called me up and asked for a date last Tuesday? You ' ll never guess so I! ll tell you----- Johnny Baker. The million dollar playboy who has gone stuck-up? None other. Did you accept? Of course, after all he ' s an old schoolmate and- Yeah, we know. V ell a million dollar offer doesn ' t come very often and you would do the same yourself. Don ' t get excited Helen, you ' re about the twenty-fifth on his list. I don ' t mind. I ' ll start from the bottom and v ork up. W’here did you go? What did you do? Luncheon at Ritz, dancing at Billy Rose ' s Castlemanor and listened to B. McGrath and his Ililford Minstrels. Mary Dempsky and William Hayes are professional dancers in the cast. Charlie Miller took us up in the elevator. At last he has reached great heights but still he has his ups and downs. Vir inia St. Geor. ' se has a News Stand in the South Stat- ion in Boston,and I heard that she ' s quite a wealthy, woman. I ' m sure she is. Virginia would draw a crowd anywhere she went.

V ith a grin he replied, Don’t rub it in, Helen . Does that conclude the subject of Johnny Baker? Almost. I say you’ve finished Helen.Give someone else a chance. Dot, now that we are reminiscing, haven’t you anything further to report? I think I can offer a little information, on some of them. In fact I actually bumped into one the other day or to be more accurate he bumped into m.e the big brute. Vho? Patience,Helen. It was Joe Moore, He ' s a Western Union Messenger Boy and did he looV cute ridina a bike.I saw Larry Heron playing football last fall. He’s with the Green Bay Backers, a professional team. Only last night I met Kitty Bardsley. She is making her debut tonight and I’m invited. I suppose you got invitations? I did. Me too. I guess the four hundred will all be there. Which means that we’ll have a chance to meet the really famous members of the class. For instance? Admiral Keenan and Professor V. P. Goddard. Really, what a thrill to meet Vln, the inventor of the invisible ray. Have either of you heard from Greta Chapdelaine? Greta will be there tonight. She’s superintendent of Nurses at the Metropolitan Hospital so it’s hard for her to got ofi but her assistcht, i.aryalice-Wrenne, is go¬ ing to take her place for the evening. Roselie Lescoe will be there too, but a little late as she has taken over the Kate Smith urogram. I wonder if the bearded bruiser, Dave Lynch, will come. I hope so. I’ve always wanted to meet a v-zrestling champ¬ ion and this will be my only chance. By the way, what about Irene Bessette? She has been studying culture for the last seven years, and is thinking of opening a studio in the metropolis of Mendon. Oh, girls! Did I tell you that I went to see Macbeth in New York? Well. This is really good John Davoren took the part of Mac¬ beth and Alice Moroney portrayed Lady Macbeth. It’s kind of hard to picture Alice Moroney playing the part of the hard and ambitious Lady Macbeth but it’s true neverthe¬ less. That just goes to show that We can never tell what the future holds for us. I’m sure no one ever thought Jack Davoren would appear behind the footlights, and still, when we read Hamlet he certainly did the ghost stunt su¬ perbly .

That’s nothing to the surprise I got when I read that, Betty Duggan and Louise Tosches had become opera singers and Anna Curley 9. concert pianist, and Mary Condry, the amateur Tennis lueen. Guess we’ve hashed over the whole class--wait-what about Edith Krauss? Goodness, Eileen. Didn’t you recognize her? She is my maid and she admitted you this morning. Gosh, Dot, I didn’t Imow her she’s grown so slender,I’ll have to see her before I go. I think I’ll have to be traveling along now,Dot. I’ve an appointment with my dietitian, Connie Hev combe at 4;40. Better step on the gas, Helen, it’s almost that now. I think I’ll move alono- with you as I’m taking dancing les¬ sons from Peggy Pahy and I promised her faithfully I’d be there on time. Just for a chance. No sarcasm. Dot, please. But Eileen, why are you taking dancing lessons?! thought you were so wrapped up in water colors and oil paints, that nothing so frivolous intorosted you. Just a diversion, Dot. Need a little exercise after the long hours before the ceenvass. You see I haven’t a mil¬ lionaire to amuse me as Helen has. Well, I think I need a little diversion as well as you. Yes I agree. It must be av fful to write those so b stories all dav long. And for Boston American! U ' h, Helen, can’t you get into some of the higher spheres of literature? Must earn ray bread and butter girls, and if the world wants sobs why not give it to thorn. Coming Helen, we ' ll both be late. Bye Jot, see you later. Bye Dot, I’ll drop in soon. I ' ll be seeing you tonight. ?j OfrJ£Cy The future lies ahead of us We leave the past behind The things to come, we look to now Perhaps a Job to find. Prophesying people say our future does look bright But we must be on the side of Christ To make our life go right. ?ATROMS Rev. Jel ' emiah A, Riordan Rev. John P. Donahue Rev. Julius N.

Cormier F Saint Mary’s important extra-curricula activities, ' debating stands out as attracting the most attention from the school as a whole and its followers For years it has been the custom of fifteen Catholic Hi h Schools in the Springfield Diocese to prepare an af¬ firmative and negative team to debate on a question given out by the director of our schools in Springfield, who was Doyle, the originator of our diocesan debates, until three years ago when Doctor Rooney replaced him. It Monsignor his death wasn ' t until Doctor Rooney’s in the debates. taking charge that girls took part Saint Mary’s under the excellent and untiring guid¬ ance of Father Donahue, has always presented a team worthy of her fair name. Saint Mary’s teams may not always have achieved the diocesan championship with Bishop O’Leary’s trophy, but it has been done, with the result that this school has taken its place in the envied class. In looking ahead this year. Father Donahue had many interesting inter-class debates which paved the way for the choosing of the team to represent the school in the diocesan de¬ bates. Father Donahue took his valuable time to get these de¬ bates organized because of his appreciation of the importance of public speaking, and because only six speakers can be chosen when the letter concerning the championship debates arrives in Milford. The letter came in January and candidates were called. A large delegation came forth, with five eager veterans, namely: Cecelia Grant, Margaret Fahy, V illiam Barron, Joseph Dorasky and Paul Daily. The true debating spirit was not lacking ih anyone of the contestants for a place on the team. The final team chosen was: Affirmative 1st. Miss Cecelia Grant 2nd. ilr. Paul Dally 3 rd.

Our affirmative team met Saint Mary’s High School of Westfield in Milford, while the negative team traveled to carry the name of Saint Mary’s afar in North Adams.Both teams achieved well-won victories along with five other schools v;hlch competed. On Wednesday night, February fifteenth. Saint Peter’s of Worcester defeated Sacred Heart Academy of the same city, and Saint Michael’s of Northampton defeated Saint Joseph’s of Pitts¬ field. On Thursday night, February seventeenth Saint Mary’s neg¬ ative team faced Saint Peter’s in Worcester. Vv ' ell, there isn’t much more to be said-Saint Peter’s achieved the decision two to one. Saint Mary’s fought until the end and they were glorious in defeat. On the following night Saint Peter’s defeated Saint Michael’s of Northampton and were made diocesan champs. We gave our all for the school, but as debators vfe owe an eternal debt of gratitude to Saint Mary’s and Father Donahue for the training in public speaking that can never be taken away from us• To the underclassmen,I say support your debating teams. If you are not a member, help those v ho are:they need your spirit to lead them on to victory or to bear the disappointment for St. Mary’s.We, Senior debators leave a wish and a prayer for the suc¬ cess of your future debates.

In ad¬ dition to the two upper classes, the Sophomore Class was very proud to have two of its members in the cast The players under the able guidance of James Farrell and Father Rupprecht, rendered a splendid performance. We owe tre¬ mendous gratitude to these two men for the interest they show St Mary s High School in dramatics. The cast in the order of their appearance was as follows: Billie a mysterious girl Reeves a gentleman s gentleman Steve Arlen an adventurer Charles Toomey his occasional friend Julia Pettingill a widow Angelica Wayne a charming girl Frances Brown another girl Niki Murphy another girl Ruth Auburn another girl Blake a police officer Sigsbie Sullivan from Alabama Mrs Gay a fretful mother Joan M.

Grant Cecelia Grant The Blue Mantle is a history of our school life. Its pur¬ pose is to enable us to preserve a record of the events which helped to make up the days spent within the walls of our Alma Mater. Perhaps in later years,a perusal of the Blue I antle v ill serve to recall old friends to draw our hearts back to the foun tain of knowledge from which we drank deeply during..the happy days of our adolescence We shall feel ourselves vifell repaid for the hours of labor given outside of school time to prepare these pages, if in the years to come our book serves to bring some pleasure to those who have been our companions along the way. V e are grateful to those who contributed material for the Blue Mantle,and to those v ho typed and printed the stencils and also to those who solicited advertisements for our Yearbook.

Our first teachers were Sis¬ ter M. Dominica and Sister M. Andrew. Because of the entire change in subjects, we found the curriculum most interesting and were we proud to be studying Lat¬ in and solving problems in Algebra. Prom the very start our class showed a keen interest in Athletics contributing to the football squad Larry Heron, Dave Lynch, and Red Eckersall. We were represented in baseball by Dave Lynch, Joe Small, Red Eckersall, Larry Heron, Bill McGrath ‘and Ernie Bouchard. In the fall St. Mary’s presented a Minstrel Show under the supervision of Father Rupprecht and directed by Mr. Edward Sullivan. This public performance called forth considerable tal¬ ent from our midst. t June came all too soon with the final examinations and the much needed rest. V fe carried away with us lasting impressions of our Freshman year and though v;e have traveled along the road to commencement we shall always hold those days dear. September l’ 35 saw a merry group of Sophomores gather¬ ing at St. Mary’s greeting old friends and meeting new ones. We noted with regret that some of those who walked with us the pre¬ ceding year had left but the gap v as more than filled by the new students. Sister M. Imelda and Sister M. Peter were our teachers this year and we found the intricacies of Lati ' n and Algebra ever Increasing.New subjects were added to those of the Freshman Class and we had few idle moments. Athletics, however, played an impor¬ tant part and we succeeded in having some good material accepted for the various sports.In football there were Red Eckersall, Dave Lynch, Larry Heron; in baseball. Red Eckersall, Dave Lynch, Bill McGrath, Larry Heron, and Ernie Bouchard; in basketball. Ripper Collins and Bill Eennedy. Although the members of the Glee Club are usually se¬ lected from the Junior and Senior Classes,we ¥ ere honored by hav¬ ing Eileen McCarthy, Greta Chapdelaine, Anna Curley, and Mary Mc¬ Kenna selected. We had the thrill this year of making our bow before the footlights producing a one-act play ”In Doubt About Daisy”. The cast included Cecelia Grant and Joseph Scannell as heads of the Turner family; Anna Curley and Charles Miller as Honor and Mac the Turner children; Mary McKenna and Stanley Gac as Kathy Berry and Herb, the farmer lad. All of the classes in High School presented plays be¬ fore the student body and the best ones were selected to be giv¬ en publicly at the John C, Lynch Auditorium. Ours was selected and although we didn ' t win a prize we felt justly proud of those who took part in the very creditable performance. Another June was upon us and with fond farewells we parted for the summer with promises of reunion in the autumn, I don ' t remember who said ”Tempus Fugit” but I really believe it is too true. September witnessed another gathering at St. Mary ' s Church and then the chiimmy Vv alk to the Assembly Hall there to meet new friends and greet old ones. At this point of our High School career, we had to make a choice between the classical and commercial course thus the Class of ' 39 came to the first crossroads. This was a banner year for Athletics and our class rose to the very pinacle of success in the various sports. Coach NicK Morris worked wonders with the football team, as expressed in one of the Boston Papers, he brought them from ’’Piags to Riches ’.St. Mary’s won every game but the last two and these were lost only because the heroes were worn out from the toils of bat¬ tle . Joe Scannell, Eddie Beyer and Jack Davoren represented ' 39 on the team. The debating team was largely made up of Juniors in¬ cluding Cecelia Grant, Margaret Fahy, and Edward Vhalley as al¬ ternate . For Class officers we elected: PrcsidGnt--Leon Osachuk Vice-President--Edward Beyer Secretary--Anna Curley Treasurer--Louise Tosches Class Day of 1938 brought us many a humiliation which wc accepted with resignation while our hearts burned within us for revenge which we prom.ised ourselves on the night of Junior Reception, Ernest Bouchard, Bill Hayes, Eddie Beyer and Joe Small advertised on the baseball field while Joe Moore and Ripper Coll¬ ins upheld our glory on the basketball floor. In June Father Donahue entertained the continuous mem¬ bers of the St. Thomas Aquinas Circle at a banquet in Hopedalc. The following members of standing and were at table; Helen Gordon Dorothy Lucier Frances Cullinan Louise Tosches Alice Moroney Mary Collins ’39 attained the required William Hayes Ernest Bouchard Constance Newcombe Leon Osachuk Mafalda DeSalvia Kathleen Bardsley Vife maintained and increased our representation in the Glee Club and Orchestra. V n;iile we had no class play this year, several talented members of the class, namely:Margaret Pahy, Anna Curley and Cecelia Grant took part in the school play, ’’It’s Papa Who Pays held in the Town Hall. The play was a great success. We had the thrill of taking part in the graduation ex¬ ercises of the Class of ’38 being members of the chorus. The mus¬ ic was exceptionally good on this occasion and will serve,we hope as a preparation for our own big day, June 23, 1938. So ended our Junior year and September 1938 we were back occupying the front seats in assembly an honor anticipated for the last three years. « Our teachers this year were Sister Piose Concepta • and Sister M. Bernadette in the classical subjects and Sister Eliza¬ beth Mary and Sister Immaculata in the commercial subjects. Athletics continued to outside activities. The follow! football squad; Joe Small Charles Miller Joe Scannell Eddie Beyer Jack Davoren Leon Osachuk Seniors admitted to tK Bill Kennedy play an important part in our g Seniors were accepted for the Stanley Gac Lawrence Heron John Eckersall William McGrath Dave Lynch Joe Murphy basketball team were; Joe Moore The following Seniors baseball team; Ernie Bouchard Bill Hayes Eddie Beyer Leon Osachuk played on the almost undCfbated Larry Heron John Eckersall David Lynch Joe Murphy Social and scholastic activities filled the year to capacity.

The cast follows: Joseph Small THE BITTER END Irene Bessette Joseph Scannell Three debaters were chosen from our ranks this year. They were Margaret Fahy, and Cecelia Grant and Leon Osachuk as al¬ ternate . The St. Thomas Aquinas benquet held on the feast day of the great doctor of the Church was well attended by our class proving that athletics and dramatics v ere no obstacles to high standing in class.The following members of the class were Invited to the banquet; Kathleen Bardsley Louise Tosches Mary McKenna Alice Moroney Mary Collins Anna Curley Frances Cullinan Dorothy Lucier Leon Osachuk Cecelia. Grant and Margaret Fahy were eligible as debaters. Mission activities at the school were enkindled hy vis¬ its from various religious orders. Father Kao, a Chinese priest, gave an interesting talk on the missions of his country and told us of the sufferings caused by the war still waging between the Chinese and Japanese. After his lecture, he invited us to ask questions. One of the questions chanced tobe ' V hat • ' progress has Comr.iunism made in China?? ' Father Kao said that the Chinese people are devoted to their families and home life and that Communism does not anneal to them at all. He also said that the Chinese government is favorably inclined toward Christianity. The ‘ ' Jhite Sisters of Mary whose Mother House is in Af¬ rica lectured on the progress of the Church in that country. The work among the negroes is easy in comparison with their endeavors to convert the Mohammedans. The Sisters showed pictures to bring out the interesting phases of the missionary fields. Sister M. Coronato representing the Hary ' ' moll missions lectured on the missions in China, the Philippines and Hawaii, She showed pictures to brina home to us the difficulties under which — w the Church labors in these lands and also impressed upon us the necessity of supporting the missions. Early in April the elimination contest in preparation for the Oratorical Contest took place. Fourteen were selected to take part in the Contest which took place April 21 in the assemb¬ ly hail. One of the most enjo ' able assemblies of the year was the occasion on v hich Father Riordan presented Father Donahue with an oil painting of St. John and Sister Superior with a similar paint¬ ing of the Madonna. It was a surprise gathering and this added to the zest of the participants. Those present were Father Riordan, Father Donahue, Father Rupprocht, Father Collins, Father Kelley, the Misses Riordan and the entire student body. Sister Superior was escorted to the platform by throe members of the orchestra who played a lively march suited to the occasion. Father Riordan expressed hh appreciation of the work done by Superior and Fath¬ er Donahue in behalf of St. Mary’s. The recipients wore then called upon to say a few words. Sister Superior said a few words and withdrew leaving Father DoneJaue the width of the platform to express his sentiments, which he did in his accustomed way bring¬ ing a lesson of gratitude before us for our consideration. Le Cercle Francais” was organized this year as an in¬ centive to further interest in French and a Science Club was started with a similar motivo. May 17th the Senior Clags assembled to hear the an¬ nouncement of the honors. Father IhLordan read the names of the four classical students who had the highest standing for the four years of high school and then the four highest among the commer¬ cial students. The honor students have worked untiringly during their high school course and v ell deserve the recognition shown them. The are as follows: CLASSICAL Mafalda DeSalvia Kathleen Bardsley Leon Osachuk Edward ' ’dialley COMMERCIAL , Frances Cullinan Louise Tosches , Mary Collins Alice Moroney After assembly the Senior girls were dismissed to at¬ tend High School Day at the College of Our Lady of the Elms. Class Day was held May 26 and true to form, the secrets of the Juniors were aired in public much to the dismay of the Class of ’40. A dance was held under the auspices of the class on May 25th. Now there is only left the Junior Reception to be held June 8th, then graduation June 23,and the class of 1C39 makes its final bow, and bids farewell to St. Mary’s. Like others before us we leave with grateful hearts and high hopes and a promise to re¬ member always the sense of duty to God and Church and School im¬ pressed upon our minds during our high school days. June 2nd the high school staged Melodeemania” something several degrees a:� c ve a minstrel. It was well attended and highly praised by the audience. Those in the Class of ’39 who helped to put it across were.;- Joe Scannell,Eddie Beyer,Bill Hayes, Joe Moore, Anna Curley, Mary McKenna, Anna Small, Roselie Lescoe, Mary Condry, Edith Krauss, and Fred Collins. And now our stor ?- is done. In fear and trembling we look forward to Junior Reception June 8th and even the thought of the banquet and the good time following cannot still our hearts. Last¬ ly comes the biggest day of all,the climax of our high school days -graduation which will be held in Town Hall Friday evening, June 23, 1939.

Tills event is one of the most enjoyable ( for the Seniors) of all the school year. John Eckersall read the Glass hill and as each Junior’s name v as called, he or she had to mount the steps to the platform to receive the parting gift of the Senior’s. In some instances, the Junior’s v;cro asked to perform some little stunt such as rendering a solo, dancing a tap or even explaining to the audience hov; to star-t a car or use a paddle etc. The Seniors take a particular cldright in playing sleuth for v eeks ahead of this affair that ■ ' tlr.y may publish to the v;orld the secret aspirations and inspirations of the Juniors. ■ The Prophecy v as presented in a rather novel form this year, Ernest Lemirc, vilio v as selected ' to v rite this paper, produced a playlet in v hich Dorothy Lucior, Helen Gordon dnd Eileen McCarthy? ' moot in the home of Dorothy Lucier, in the year of 1949.

Collins THE HURRICANE The wind blew strong with mighty force It rose and fell along its course And swept the great New England shore To change its lines for ever more. It started as a gentle breeze Then rose to wind among the trees, A gale became and mixed with rain Until it was a hurricane. Which filled the hearts of men with fear When first its mighty scream did hear. As worse it grew the terror spread For many a man was lying dead. Trees of a hundred years or more Would raise their lofty arms no more. And houses few that held their roofs That showed against the fury proof. And ships that sailed the briny deep, Were high on land, a shattered heap. Throughout the night not many slept V niile many broken-hearted wept. And many a homeless child was hurled Alone upon this wretched v orld.. So let us kneel and God implore That this will happen never more. John Ford Personality. Popularity... Smile.. Hair... Eyes...

V . . 0 . . . . 1 Be tty Duggan N this,the 25th day of May,1959,a day feared and dread¬ ed by the sophisticated and haughty Juniors,v e, the un¬ surpassed Class of ’39, the most intelligent group of students to conduct a Class Day at St Mary’s nov be¬ queath to the lov ly Juniors,as a reward for their boast¬ ing and swaggering, the following articles and advice As each insignificant Junior hears his or her name he will approach and no ' -unt the stage regardless of high blood press¬ ure, nervous breakdowns or the like.We appoint Sir. !ffichaol Archi¬ bald Mayhew Vopicelli, Mickey for short, to assist each trembling victim to the witness stand. To Father Riordan, the Class of ’39 leaves this bone for Sunshine We inderstand that that canine has a propensity to chew holes in your rubbers and we suggest that v hen Sunshine feels like having a chew you hand him this bone Also in accordance with an established custom of eight years standing v e are sending ' you u lobster dinner as a gift from the Class of ’39. To Father Donahue, we leave this fishing pole to com¬ plete your equipment for your favorite pastime,We understand that you have everything else required for the art except the pole and it gives us Jjleasure to supply this deficiency To Father Rupprccht,who consumes such a large number of cigarettes daily, we leave t his beautiful mahogany pipe V e feel that it will be much cheaper to buy tobacco to fill the pipe than to indulge in Lucky Strikes. To Father Collins, who has a passion for ice cream, we leave ' this nice cold ice cream sandwich to have all for himself Pie is not to share it with anyone, not even Father Kelley. To Father Kelley, whom we hear has a sweet tooth, we leave this box of home made fudge. The Senior viho made it hopes that you will enjoy eating it as much as she enjoyed making it for you. To Father Pitroff, we also leave an ice cream sandwich so that he will not be teasing Father Collins for a bite of his. To Coach Casey we leave our congratulations on the ex¬ cellent baseball team which we have had this season Also our hopes for a rousing defeat of Milford High on Memorial Day. V in or lose, we offer him our best wishes for future successes. To I.Ir. Cudahy, Sister Superior leaves this silver mouse trap as a recompense for his diligence in ridding the school of these little animals. To Sister Superior, we leave this small effigy of her¬ self. V� e suggest that Sister keep it on top of her desk so that if Father Riordan comes to the office during her absences, he may be greeted by a smile. To Lir. Sullivan, v e leave an order at Casey’s Hardware Store for a new broom so that if he wears out the present one, ho may get a new one. To the Faculty of St. Llary’s, the Class of ’39 leave a Class Picture so that they will always be able to recall the fac¬ es and figures of the Perfect Class. To Raymond Bagley, Llargarct Fahy leaves this bank to serve as a safe deposit for his earnings.Ray, it seems is running a date bureau in Uxbridge and charging the boys fifty cents for an introduction to his pretty cousin and one dollar for a date. To William Barron, the girls of the Senior Class leave this majic potion v hich is paaranteod to rid his system of con¬ ceit and render him more sociable. To Thomas Creighton, that cute little frocklcd-faced boy, Joe Wells bequeaths this car hoping that he v ill now have the courage to invite Joan Tobey out for a ride. To Charles Crowley, Joe lioorc bequeaths this sheet of instructions on how to play Post Office.V e understand that a lack of this knowledge has kept Charlie away from several parties. To Joseph Domsky,LIary LlcKenna leaves this list of girls upon whom he may try his new technicgie. In ' ’Wedding Spells”, Joe thought that Red Feeloy’s romantic technique v as sadly deficient so ho has given thought to the question and developed a process which he believes is unbeatable. To Joseph Donegan, Joe Scannell leaves this photo col¬ lection of beautiful girls hoping to create an interest in the fair sex. Joe Donegan at present is more interested in his chick¬ ens than in girls, dancing and other frivolities. To John Smoke House Fceley, Larry Heron leaves a box of Whcatics, assuring him that if he eats them faithfully, he will be able to take Larry’s place on the football squad next year.

To Margaret Arsenault and Virginia McDonough, we leave a quarter that they may toss up and see who captures i.Ielpignano ’ s affections.

To Grace Condry, Bill hayes leaves this picture of Jack Davoren, her football hero. To Pauline Connors, Betty Duggan leaves this book of ad¬ dresses of the boys and girls v ho live in V hitinsville. We hope this will help to make her forget John Murphy. To Rosemary Conway, that attractive brunette from Ux¬ bridge, Virginia St. George leaves this book, ”Kow to Pr-e-ccrve Youth and Beauty Vvithout the I nconvenience of a Beauty Sleep . If Rosemary follows instructions, John Planigan may be able to sta T- a little later than G:JO the hour at v;hich Mickey Vopicelli said Good Right . To Marguerite Consoletti, Coach Casey leaves a list of rules which he urges her to enforce upon Ernie Bouchard. The Coach insists that Ernie must have his sleep at least on ni ' hts before a game.

To Napoleon Mainville, Vincent Goddard leaves this con¬ tract to work this suiumer in a vaudeville act as one of the Sing¬ ing Midgets.

To Olivine Leheny and Phyllis Duggan, Johnny Ford leaves this compass. We hope that it will guide their footsteps aright when they go on those long mysterious walks together. To Forrest Noe, Roselle Lescoe leaves this bottle of Listerine so that he may gargle his throat before trying to hit the high notes at the Glee Club. To Amelia Kaczawka,Joe Murphy leaves this pair of box¬ ing gloves to enable her to indulge in her pugilistic tenden- ci:;s. The next time anyone calls you ’’Mugger” let em have it. To Mary Lynch,Mary Condry leaves this key so that when she is coming heme late she won’t have to awaken Dave to let her sneak in while her father is parking the car in the baclryard. To Gerald Heroux, Mary McKenna leaves the address of Jeanette Koss. We hope that this will give him the courage to date Jeanette up for the Junior Reception. To Joseph Krol, Joe Small leaves this meal ticket for Curley’s Restaurant. This Is an excellent opportunity for Joe to get better acquainted with Anna. To Paul Daily, Stanley Gac leaves this book for ap¬ pointments .It is better to write it down and not take any chance on getting the dates mixed. To John Malia, Bill McGrath leaves this season’s pass to the State Theatre in order that he may keep his dates in the back row with Peggy Dillon. To Nasaro Mantoni, Louise Tosches leaves this corres¬ pondence course on ’’The Art of Selling Shoes”. We hope that when ?v!innie’s big moment comes, he will make an impression oa the Wonderful Shoeman and thus win further favor with Gpracie.

To Marie O’Donnell, who aspires to lead in Shakesperian dramatics, the Seniors leave this edition of Romeo and Juliet. We also request that since she expects to star with Richard Hoynihan the two will nov give a demonstration of their artistic ability by dramatizing the scene between Romeo and Juliet at the balcony. To Eileen Nealon and Katherine Nealon, the Seniors give these two straws. Rumor has it that these girls are picking bones with each other over Mr. Ambrogi. The one who draws the longer straw wins the prize. To Vvilliam Norton, Ernest Lemire leaves this soft ball so that he can play anytime he wishes. This seems to be the only sport in which Bill excels and his only chance to win a little hero worship from the girls. To Kenneth Clouart, Doc Goddard gives this beautiful touring car so that he won’t have to walk to Lynwood every night. To Edward Pior,Irene Bessette leaves this paddle. Since Eddie is the unchallenged Ping Pong champ we would like to see him in action.We ask that you give us a demonstration now of your ability to handle the paddle. To Howard Fitch, Roselie Lescoe leaves this pack of cards, all marked as usual,and a loaded pair of dice. We also ask that you give us a brief demonstration of your gambling ability by getting down on your knees and talking to the dice. To Charlie P’itzgerald, Bill McGrath leaves this flash¬ light. It is dark and rather rough walking through the park at night and we thought it would help him to guide Anna’s dainty feet over the rocks and crevices. To Kenneth Forbes, Alice Moroney leaves this soft light belt.We heard Kenny’s father believes in the old fashoined method of making the boy behave and we thought that perhaps he could change this belt with the tough one that his Dad now uses when he stays out too late with Barney. To Joseph Gallerani, Joe Small leaves this season pass to the Garden Theater. We feel sorry to have Joe spend all his weekly allowance taking Mary DeCapua to the Garden every Friday night. To KMtherine Cullinan, Joe Scannell leaves his best wishes,and the Senior Class hopes that Katherine will always keep her dimples and smiles. To Margaret Lliller, the Seniors leave a pass to the St. George Theater so that she raay attend the pictures and at the same time have a few visits with Joe Wells. To Rita Moroney, we leave this cushion so that she may see and be seen through the windshield when Harry Usher calls for her in his black coupe at 1:30 p. m. after school. To Virginia Morse, Eileen McCarthy leaves this monkey wrench thus helping in a small v ay to start Mr. Anderson on his career as a pliimber. ( To John Norton, Eddie Beyer leaves this pair of daM’; glasses. When John is coaching the girls on how to pla y softball he finds it very difficult to keep his ‘eyes on the ball and off the girls. To Henry Pyne,Charles Miller leaves this arm rest so he will have a place for the other arm v- hen Peggy is not v;ith him. To Robert Phillips, Anna Small leaves this letter re¬ questing him to give it personally to Barbara Murphy. V fe all know that Bob is the big moment in Barbara’s life and Anna is asking her to give the others a chance. To Joseph Rosetti,the Senior Class gives this poem w-ith the request that he read it to the audience. It v as found among his collection to Christine Kearnan. ”Teena dear, I love you so- In mind your with me v her’er I go; Wlien I visit you evenings, you look sO fair But gee-must the family always be there ? To Francis Pov ers, Virginia St. George and Marguerite McGr ath leave their photographs so that next year he will not be lonesome. To Thomas Seaver, the Seniors give a letter of intro¬ duction to Mr. Dalrymple. During Lent, Tom had An excuse for es¬ corting Janet home but now he has his doubts about his reception at the Dalrymple home. To Michael Vopicelli, Dottie Lucier leaves this cow bell. If he hangs it around the nock of the girl who follows him everywhere he can give some one else a break and still have time to escape.

' Lb during the month of June in the year of 1943 a class of approximately seventy-six will graduate. However, just at present we are knovm only as the Junior High or eighth grade. We entered the High School building September sixth a class of seventy-four strong. hvery one of us v as filled with a desire to do a great deal for St. ?:ary’s Academy. We were a very ambitious, capable and spirited class far-above ordinary grade of Junior Pligh pupils. As there was such a large class another eighth grade had to be formed downstairs in the former nurse’s room. This class which was rather small was to be taught by Sister John Aloysius. The greater number of pupils went upstairs to Sister Leona. The Junior High pupils are proud of their standing in St. -Gary’s Academy. We are represented in practically every enterprise that is undertaken by the High School pupils. Our representative in baseball is Martin Lynch. Boxing, another sport which v;as only introduced at St. Mary’s this year interested a number of boys from the eighth grade, many of whom took part in the boxing bouts held on Tuesday nights. Our representative in the school orchestra is ’J ' illiam Murphy, the band also claims quite a number of eighth grade pupils. V e were also given a booth at the St. Mary’s Pood Sale held for the benefit of the school fund. At this table many articles were sold tlirough the aid of a committee appointed by Sister Leona. Another great achievement of the Junior High was the two dramatic sketches, ‘ ' Son of David ' , and ' ' The Christmas Class ' , given just before the closing of the school for the Christmas vacation. Many of the pupils of the Junior High showed their dramatic ability by taking prominent parts and carrying them through excellently. yrienever a call for donations or assistance in school activity you w ould be sure to find that the Junior High class was ready and v illing to co-operate. At the beginning of this year Father Donahue visited our class and gave us a pleasant surprise by annoucing to- us that a La Salle Honor Circle v as to be formed. In order to gain admission to the circle a pupil must attain eighty-five per A bove left: freshman st. thomas aquinas circle. RIGHT; SOPHOMORE ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CIRCLE. LOW LEFT: SENIOR ST.

Officers were elected v hich placed Vincent P. Goddard as President, Joseph ells as Vice-President and Stan¬ ley Gac as Secretary. At the first meeting v hich was held on Monday, December seventeenth, the President presided as Chair¬ man. These meetings occur every other Monday. At the close of each meeting, the Chairman for the day appoints the chairman for the next meeting The duties of the Chairman are to prepare an u.nteresting and educational program for the next meeting and to select the speakers. The primary purpose of the Senior Science Club is to present a solid foundation of modern science and its principles to the Senior students at St. Mary s. In order to shov how the aims of the Club arc accomplished, a Science program for one of the meetings v as developed as follows: I II III IV V VI VII VIII Introduction by the Chairman Resume of Ant Life The Importance of Marconi s Telegraph The Procedure of Deep Sea Diving Short Talk on the Mechanism of the Bathysphere •Discussion of Aeronautics Sound in Connection with Radio A Student Demonstration on the Theory of Electric Motors The interest shown by the students is truly remark - able. That they are willing and anxious to further their sci¬ entific knowledge, may be ' seen by the varied subjects that arc chosen for the assemblies. V e, the Class of 1959, hope that future classes v ill carry on the good work of the Club by taking an active interest in Science. May wo offer our good wishes for their future suc¬ cess . Vincent P. Goddard -:::7 E Cercle Francais ' was reorganized in December under the supervision of Sr. Rose Concepta with the follow¬ ing officers elected for the coming year. President.Leon Osachuk Vice-President.Edward Whalley Secretary.Mary McKenna This organization is very popular among the Senior Classi¬ cal students,giving them the opportunity to obtain a better vo¬ cabulary which is essential in speaking French fluently. Our meetings, held twice a month, have included poems, biographies, and proverbs, always in French by members of the Club. The success of the Club is due to the untiring efforts of Sr. Rose Concepta on whose behalf French has been made an in¬ teresting and enjoyable subject. We hope that next year’s class will take advantage of the excellent opportunities given to them by enrolling as members of ’ ' Le Cercle Francais.” Jeanette Koss ARLY IN SEPTEMBER 1939, a very progressive step v as taken towards spreading the light of science among the Junior Class.. A plan was suggested whereby the Juniors v rere to elect officers for a Science Club of their own, distinct and apart from the Senior Science Club. The idea was enthusiastically taken up by the students and shortly afterward officers were elected in a very business-like manner. Thus the torch v as prepared. It was determined to hold meetings on alternate Mondays. These meetings in which every member of the Club is given an oppor - tunity to participate, have been seriously entered into, and many varied and interesting talks and theses have been given and advanced by potential scientists. The papers which the students prepare and deliver at the meetings, fully warrant the existence of the Club, for the speakers cover every conceivable branch of science but now especially Physics. The sessions tend to give students a wider knowledge of the vast field of science than they ordlnarilly v ould have. So the torch has been prepared and lighted, the flickering flame nourished,until now it burns highly, a beacon of knowledge for the present and future classes through the intricate way that pretends to be science, but when held up to close scrutiny reveals itself. Science - The Light of the World. Robert Sumner Phillips r r ' . ONTRARY to former years the Junior Classlca?u now has its own French Club v hich it established early in the school year. After the election of officers the class chose as a name for its club, Le Cercle d’Ars in honor of St.Jean Vianney venerated throughout the Catholic world and some times referred to as the Cure ' ' of Ars Its purjjose is threefold; first, to familiarize us with the French pronunciation; second, to increase our vocabulary and third, to acquaint us v ith the beautiful country of France, in short to further fluent French for its study is virtually useless unless it is put into practice Our meetings were held semi-monthly and in accordance with Parliamentary Laws. All the members of the class were given an opportunity to contribute to the meetings. Within the compar¬ atively short thirty-five minutes of the French period we were afforded ordinarily, five or six speakers. The talks related to France, its statesmen, its poets and authors, its situation, geo¬ graphically and politically, its manners and customs;briefly, all concerning France that should interest us as French students. We have even engaged in a Spelling Bee in which the whole Club par¬ ticipated and have also had two very interesting debates. Thus, Le Cercle d’Ars has set a high standard which we sincerely hope may be equalled but we feel sure cannot be sur¬ passed by its successors in admiration and love of the melodious speech of La Douce Franco.

Mary’s Orchestra has completed its sixth year of unwearying effort to present the school.with a suitable body of musicians. The orchestra was founded by Father Donahue, who has been much concerned with its welfare. Mr. Alphonse DeCreontis, chosen as its leader, is res¬ ponsible for a large part of any success the orchestra may have achieved.‘ ' Al” has no ordinary knowledge of music for he is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of I fusic, having com¬ pleted a six year course in orchestra work. Sister St. Berchmans has also been a constant source of encouragement to us. Father Donahue’s purpose in forming the orchestra was to give the student body a greater appreciation of music and to help develop any who may have musical vocations. Rehearsals are held weekly and it is evident the or¬ chestra’s members are desirous of improving it. Both classical and popular music is included in its repertoire. A few members v ere lost in last year’s graduating class. However, new players appeared to replace them namely;John McGrath ’41 for the drums, John Curran, ’42, Rosemary Conway ’40 and Jane Gallagher ’41 as pianists. Among the veteran members are; Gerald Heroux ’40 accompanist, Joseph Krol ’40, William Barron ’40, and William Burns ’42, saxophonists who along with Gordon Thompson’41 clarinet, hold down the reed section, while Paul Dally ’40 Joseph Domsky ’40 take care of the brass section. Marguerite Alter! ’40 and William Murphy ’42, play violins very effectively. Since its organization the orchestra has changed the atmosphere of our assemblies and offers the type of entertainment the student body apparently enjoys. It also provides musical en¬ tertainment for many social events of St. Mary’s. As no members will be lost in this year’s graduating class, the members of the orchestra look forward to an even more successful combination next fall. The members of the orchestra wish to make a public acknowledgement of their appreciation and gratitude to A1 Dec” that untiring leader v ithout whose fidelity to rehearsals and patience v e v ould not have been able to persev¬ ere. We also thank Father Donahue, and Sister Superior for their persistent attention to the interests of our musical endeavors. AQUIMA great St Thomas Gtv ' ' Thsmas Aquinas Arch 7, 1C58, the feast day of the Aquinas, marks the birthday of the Circle. This illustrious scholar was born of noble par¬ ents at Aquino in Italy in 1226. At the age of nineteen he entered the Dominican order in spite of the opposition of his family and friends.As a religious his life was so pure and blameless that he v;as called the Angelic Doctor .Ho-.stud¬ ied under Albertus Magnus and completed his education in Paris where for many years he taught philosophy and theology, Prayer ' he said taught me more than study . St. Thomas, be cause of his sanctity and high scholastic ability, has been appointed the patron saint of students. Therefore, the selection of St.Thomas Aquinas as the pa¬ tron of our Circle is a most appropriate choice. The purpose of the St.Thomas Aquinas Circle is to ' stimu¬ late a greater interest in studying among all the students of St. Mary ' s High School. To become an ordinary member it is necessary to attain a grade of Bo% in four major subjects; to become a mem¬ ber with distinction, one must attain 85 in all subjects. At the end of each semester, those members v ho have succeeded in maintain¬ ing a continuous membership in the Circle are invited to attend a banquet given by our school principal,Father Donahue.This occasion is a memorable one and those v ho have been fort inate enough to be guests are eager to go again. The students have taken a keen in¬ terest in keeping up the standard of their work and the spirit of friendly rivalry adds zest to the competition. for The following the semester ending Dorothy Lucicr Alice Moroney Prances Cullinan Louise Tosches Mary Collins Arlino Quirk Seniors attained membership in the Circle February 1, 1939: Margaret Pahy Mafalda De Salvia Mary McKenna Elizabeth Duggan Edith Krauss Anna Vifilliam Hayes Charles Miller Sdv ard whalley Kathleen Bardsley Leon Osachuk Curley Prances Cullinan ’39 1 ttoisojaua St. Mary’s Score Opponents Marlboro 14 0 Hyde Park 0 6 St. Bernardos 7 45 Angel Guardian 12 13 Whitman 34 6 Hopkinton 13 0 Northbridge 13 0 Joe Scannell 39.

Joseph Murphy. fOOTBAL! T. MARY’S football team of ”38” was not as successful as the team of ”37” However the team, of 1933 was a fighting courageous team, and v ould have .had a much better season if it were not for the injuries of Cap- tain Larry Heron Larry is as good a player as you can find on any high school eleven. He is a speed merchant; a quick thinker, a hard plunger, and a spectacular broken-field runner. The loss of Larry v;as a servere blow to the team, and we are sure that with him in the line-up for the complete schedule, the hard fighting Saints” would have had a much better season. We make this stat- ment judging by his performances in the games in which he played. Do not think that we had a one man team, because be¬ sides Captain Larry Heron we had that tall red headed demon, John ”Red” Eckersall, Dave Lynch, Nasaro Mantoni, Stanley Jeep” Gac,, and William Bill” McGrath, and other players who could make most of the high school elevens. John Red” Eclcersall, the hard hitting tackle, had an outstanding football career at St. Mary’s which started in his freshman year. Red” made the first te’am as a freshman, and continued to stay as a first team man for the follov ing three years. Red” played under four different coaches during his four years of football, and each coach thought that he had the mak¬ ings of a .good football player. Red” did not disappoint these coaches, because he played spectacular football for all four. Dave Lynch is another lad who assisted in the football line-up for four years. Dave started as a backfield man when a freshman, and in the second year, he v as converted to a lineman. Dave played outstanding ball in each position. He was a very faithful player, for the four years which he played, and was never on the injured list long enough to miss a game. There¬ fore he deserves much credit for his consistent and outstanding playing. Bill” McGrath is another boy who played a good brand of football for the fighting Saints”. Bill” did not play . four years, but he did play for three years. During his first year he was handicapped by his size and when in his third year, he only weighed 140 pounds his opponents found that he, although he might be light, was a hard player. Stanley ”Jeep‘ Gac, another member of our graduating class was a first team man Jeep” is not built as you v ould expect an end to be. He is about 5 feet 10 inches tall which isn ' t very tall for an end, yet he played the position to perfec¬ tion Leon Osachuk was the left end on the first team This was Leon ' s second year on the squad, but last year, he was a back- field candidate Coach Eddie Casey decided he v ould make a bet¬ ter end, and he placed him at left end on the first team. At left tackle was that hard hitting Jack Buck Davoren who played bang-up football for two years Jack started under Nick Morris, and fitted v ell into Morris ' s slam-bang style of football. Next year Jack will be missed a great deal when the opponents start those off tackle plays. Joseph Abigail Scannel started his football career un¬ der Coach Morris and played outstanding football for him Abigail has been a regular these past two years, and specialized in break¬ ing up enemy plays The boys mentioned above,with the exception of Mantoni, are members of the graduating class and their departure will leave a big gap in the football squad 6eS0:z.Z I VS ' . 23 30 4 6 11 17 18 21 24 26 30 1 3 6 8 10 15 17 21 24 RESULT TEAM ST .

Joseph Murphy JUNIOR R£C£fTIOM June 8, 1939 marked the last big event in our High School career. Junior Reception, This is an exclusive affair confined only to the Juniors and Seniors and after the Juniors ha d their fling, the evening was most enjoyable. The evening’s program was opened by an address given by Paul Lally, President of the Class of ’40, Other numbers on the pro¬ gram included musical numbers and recitations. Probably the most en¬ tertaining selections were the Junior Razz song and the Intelligence tests. The latter called forth much laughter and good natured banter, Robert Phillips, Howaird Pitch and Joe Krol acted as inquisitors,while Marguerite Consoletti and Elinor Duggan served as time keepers. The embai ' ' assed Seniors were called to the limelight and the persecutors asked some tall questions delving into spheres of widely deversified Imowledge, Of course, there was nothing for the poor Seniors to do but to say ”ce pas”. Then a Junior was asked the same question and because he had studied the answer for the last three weeks, he gave the correct information and was cheered by his classmates. Marie O’Donnell added a bit of spicy humor to the reception by a recitation in which she personified Virginia St, George in con¬ versation v;ith Betty Duggan, Many laughable disclosures were made which may or may not have an atom of truth in them, Henry Sullivan tapped to the tune of ”East Side-West Side” and received vociferous applause. The program closed with a chorus ”Let Me Call You Sweetheart” paraphrased to suit the occasion. After entertainment, a turkey dinner was served at which the guests of honor were Father Riordan, Father Donahue, Father Murphy, Father Rupprecht, Father Collins and Father Kelley. Dancing followed dinner and continued until midnight when tired but happy the Class of ’39 bade farev ell to the Class of ’40 grateful for their hospitality, ’39. Mary Kay Collins Mid the cheers of the crowd of more than three hundred excited and enthusiastic boxing fans, the trial bouts of the boxing tournament that is being sponsored by Saint Mary’s Alumni for the students -of St Mary s School took place April 11, in the school auditorium. Prom start to finish the excitement of the bouts had the fans on the edge of their seats watching for some prospect that might be good enough to wear the crown of some boxing divi¬ sion in the future. The bout that attracted the most attention v as the one between little Joe Fitzpatrick and Johnnie Martin. It was won by Martin, our forty-eight pound hopeful, on a decision. It was one of the three bouts that went three rounds. Another interesting bout was the one betv een Freddie Goodnow and Freddie Collins. It was stopped in the second round when Collins, the southpav battler, had floored Goodnow three times, after Goodnov; had staged a courageous but fatal attempt to ward off the hard lefts thrown at him by Collins. There v ere only tv;o bouts that saw KO’s the bouts be¬ tween Joe Hayes and Bob Powers, and the one between Tony DiAnto- nio and Bill Bird. The second half of the semi-finals was held May 2nd a- mid the cheers of a capacity crowd still excited from the thrills they v itnessed a� they watched and listened to the slamming and pounding of fists as they landed with terrific force putting the fans almost in hysterics. And again the fight that got most of the attention was the fight that saw Johnnie Martin go down to his first defeat of the tournament after Joey Fitzpatrick hot on the comeback trail pounded out a decision over the perpetual motion kid from Pine Street. The ninth bout of the evening saw the surprise victory of the evening when Fran Morin hammered av ay at the highly favor¬ ed Eldon Barrows and gained the decision of the judges. There was another surprise victory in the 11th bout when Tony DiAntonio defeated the blonde bomber of the senior class, Stanley Gac, by v;ay of a three way decision. On May 23, the finals of the boxing tournament was held in the School Hall. There were fifteen nip and tuck bouts with everybody flinging everything they had behind their punches. As these were the finals it meant that ever body who won would re¬ ceive a worthwhile prize for their hard work in the tournament, and the losers received an av ard of merit. Those who went through the tournament undefeated were George K’O Sullivan who had an easy time pounding out a one round technical K ' O over Eddy Carey. George Clements who had a hard time trying to get a round Arthur Murray but after the three rounds were up, he manag¬ ed to get the decision ' . Walter Converse a slugger who went through the tourna¬ ment without getting so much as a bruise had an easy time pound ing out a three round decision over Billy Clements. Jimmy Powers the North Bow Street hopeful after a nip and tuck battle managed to get a three round decision over the best boxer of the tournament Cosmo Delano. Fran Hayes who pounded out a.three round decision.over Freddie Collins. After a pretty fair match Hayes let two terrify ic right hand blows go and they caught Collins right square in the Breadbasket and sent him sprawling to the floor. Joe Hayes and Tony DiAntonio who were both undefeated gave an exhibition as there v as so much difference in there weight. Frederick Collins 39 Everyone has his ups and dewns But the boxers I think the mtst: To th se who enter sportsman-like, They certainly deserve a toast So here’s to the boy who boxes, For exercise and sport Yes he ' ll succeed in later life, For he’s learned to use what he’s t alight. fs L ' ( Vf V? f . •.:•• ' •■ ••.vlS ' ;• •.� . •• • V • . • . . • •: ?A ' E C fc Kathleen Louise Schraitthenner Constance Marie Gorman Bruno Emedio Carnorali Alfred Joseph Bliss Francis Leo Cormier John Carroll Dewing James Joseph Casey Lina Lea Deilanche John Francis Ford Florence Anne Clement John Ross Curran Eleanor Mary Fitzgerald Mary Jane Sarah William Thomas Higgins Joan Theresa Smith Mary Margaret Gaffney Adeline Jean Morin John Frank Bresciani Francis Joseph Alves Leo Michael DeManche William Patrick Ford J oJin Jose ph Erne rick Catherine Mary MaePherson Ann Margaret Maher Francis Augustine DeRoche Dorothy Marj?

Our class was made up of students from Milford and sur¬ rounding towns and it took quite a little time to get acquainted with each other but when we finally reached a plane of friendship, we concluded that the Class of ' 42 v as going to be an up and com¬ ing crowd. When the call came for football players the Freshmen re¬ sponded strong. Only Raymond Cross was accepted by the coach and assigned to the position of right guard by Coach Casey. In the orchestra we had but one representative, William Burns while Francis Alves was our sole boast in the Glee Club. During the first semester a series of debates v as held in the classroom. This project proved very helpful and will, we hope, lead to our representation on the Diocesan Debating Team in the near future. Walter Taylor and Francis Sears were chosen as members of the basketball second team. With the experience gained this year, it is hoped that they will be on the first team next year. March 7th, the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, was a big day for the favored members of our class. Father Donahue invited all those who had made the St. Thomas Aquinas Circle continuously from September to February to attend a banquet in Hopedale.lt was a day to be remembered and an incentive to v;ork for the good old 85 which is necessary to get within the charmed Circle.

The Freshman Class had a very attractive booth and brought in a sub¬ stantial profit. Toward the end of March baseball practice began. Again Raymond Cross represented us as first baseman on the second team. With a little more experience, he will undoubtedly develop into a valuable asset on the team in the near future. In April a series of boxing bouts was started under the direction of Adam Diorrio. Araong those accepted were: John Ford Philip Clement James Casey Tony Di Antonio William Higgins Robert Holmes William Ford Ray Stone Melodeemania, a musical review, was held in Town Hall June 2nd.Talent was selected from all classes in the High School and many Freshmen were accepted for the cast and rJmrus, They are as follows: Francis Alves Michael Read Raymond Cross Olive Brown Joseph Nealon hleanor Tellier Walter Taylor Marie Cahill John Spadoni Catherine Arata Kathleen Sciimitthenner Eleanor Fitzgerald Rita Horton and Joan Smith � 42 CROS ' J TflV L0( , V 3 SPAOoniv, ' - ' , ‘ C� ' QUA TfcT (CaA 5S JJ Mary Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Gordon Everett Tho’Tipson Anthony Joseph Tosches Helen Powers Mulligan Catherine Marie McAuliffe Claire Mary Drugan Christina Agnes Kearnan John Edward Kennedy Evelyn Catherine Casey Ruth Elizabeth Clement George Lawrence Sullivan Arthur Janes Luippold Grace Virginia Donahue Margaret Mary Lyons Virginia Mary Higgins Rosemary Anne MeIanson Katherine Agnes Broderick Helen Marie Small Vincent Francis Connors Harold Carl Leoncini William Bertrand Dugan Robert Henry Collins Frederick Joseph DeRoche Denis Joseph DeManche Lawrence Thomas Maher Claire Marie Clough Herbert Henry Sherman Helen Marie Wynowski Mary Josephine Cunningham Jane Vincent Gallagher Frederick Robert Goodnow Owen Patrick Keenan Helen Josephine Coggins Edward Nicholas Carey Anthony James DeAngelis Donald Francis Small John Francis McGrath Jennie Alice Murray Louise Agnes Casey Marie Joan Hilferty Nicholas Joseph DeMaria Rita Mary Manion Rita Marie Milan Pauline Anne Rouleau Paul Peter Rossetti William Francis Bagley Raymond Francis Collins Harold Joseph Hayes Joseph David Kane Barbara Mary Seaver John Francis Milan Marjorie Louise Kane William Thomas Summers Doris Mary Morin Lucy Agnes Cahill Gerald Patrick Smith Mary Rita Mullen Claire Anne Powers Stella Josephine Arata Greta Anne Stare Anna Mary Norton John Francis Holmes Edward Francis Parker John Francis Kearnan Margaret Loretta Rumsey Claire Agnes Drugan Evelyn Elizabeth Spencer of J fie curtain rises and the Class of ' 41 makes its formal bow.The occasion is the opening day of school,the place St. Mary ' s High School and the date, September 1937. VVe entered the portals of St.Mary’s with high ideals and flying. We were fresiimen but even as such we made our pre- very beginning. Our teachers were Sister Rose and banners sence felt from the Agnes and Sister M. Dominica. New subjects held our interest unfamiliar surroundin. s added to our enthusiasm. In the course of the year we v cre creditably represented on the gridiron, basketball floor and baseball diamond by Jackie Kearnan, Harold Leoncini, and Paul Rossetti. Others sou ' ht laurel in different activities.Arthur Luippold brought honor to our class by being chosen for Glee Club and Gordon Thomson became a member of the orchestra. During this year Father Donahue organized the St. Thomas Aquinas Circle as a reward for scholastic achievement. Those v ho attained a rating of 85 or over were eligible for membership.

September 1938 after a long and restful vacation, we re¬ turned to our books determined to make the most of our time and to uphold the reputation v e had made in the first year. Our teach¬ ers this year were Sister M. Imelda and Sister St. Fabian. There were some v ho did not return but there wore new students to take the missing places. Our class includes members from Milford, Mil- lis, Medway, Franklin, Uzbridge and Framingham. When the football season opened ‘George Sullivan, Larry Maher and Bill Summers offered their broad shoulders for the sup¬ port of the team and the glory of the Class of ' 41. As a. Catholic Action proJect,Father Donahue started the Sun ' ay Visitor Contest. Every student in high school had to enter this contest.The Sunday Visitor is a Catholic newspaper published in the interests of Christianity. The first condition of the contest is that each student read this paper carefully, secondly select the item in it which he or she finds most interesting and thirdly write an appreciation of that article in not more than two hundred and fifty words. A chart hangs in the vestibule of the Vifinter St.entrance of the school on which the standing of each class is recorded and first and fore¬ most on that chart is the Class of ' 41. In November 1938 the school play was presented in the Town Hall. ' Wedding Spells” was the name of the production and it was a conspicuous success.Donald Small and Rita Manion took prom¬ inent parts in it. In basketball v e were represented by one of the team ' s stars. Bill Summers and also by Joe Hayes and Tony D1Antonio. The following memboi s of the Class v ere admitted to the Debating Club: Donald Small, Marjorie Cain, Rita Manion and Jane Gallagher. March 7, 1938 Father Donahue Invited the members of the St, Thom.as Aquinas Circle to a second banquet in Hopedale. It was a memorable occasion and a sumptuous dinner, well worth striving for and v;g who were the favored ones are hoping that we shall be fortunate enough to be included among the guests in June, A nev sport v as introduced this year that is boxing. This activity attracted a large crowd of aspirants and here as in all branches of athletics, the Sophomores came out strong. Tyrone Sullivan, Eddie Casey, Joe Hayes and Turk Milan took their places in the ring. A modern Minstrel entitled ’’Melodeemania” was presentod by the High School in the Town Hall June 2. Under the capable direction of Mr, James Farrell the affair the best of its kind St. Mary ' s has ever find the Class of ' 41 outstanding. Those part were: Margaret Lyons Helen Small Ruth Clement Claire Drugan Jennie Murray Rita Milan Evelyn Casey Jane Gallagher Lucy Cahill Mary Mullen Claire Power Stella iirata John Kearnan turned out to be one of had, and hero from our ranks agi who took Catherine Broderick Christina Kearncoi Bill Summers Owen Reenan Pauline Rouleau Helen Mlllligan John Kennedy And so our Sophomore days are almost over. The dreaded examinations will soon be ancient historv esnd we shall be eniov- V KJ U ing a much needed rest. Rita Manion and Helen Mulligan ' 41 CHOSUOKW m ' 410 v e cp find N the Autumn of 1936 v e, the Class of 1940, entered St. Mary’s High School as Freshies. The class was made up of students from Milford, Hopedale, Uxbridge and other surburban tov ns. Eagerly we looked forward to four years of daily association in the fields of study, dramatics and athletics. ’’Time rolls its ceaseless course” and ourselves almost Seniors reminiscing over the four years. During our first year, many of the boys tried out for football but only two showed enough ability to receive uniforms. These fortunate youths were John Murphy and Nasaro Mantoni and al¬ though they made but a single appearance during the season,we felt honored in being represented. Better luck attended our musical endeavors for we had four members selected for the Glee Club and five for the Orches¬ tra . Joe lirol was the sole representative of the class on the basketball first team but he proved to be a rising star on the ho¬ rizon of ’40. Several v;ho shov ed exceptional ability and promise made the second team including Phillips and Mantoni. Phillips, Krol and Mantoni were selected to pitch on the baseball team while Halacy and Pyne, as outfielder and shortstop, reflected some fame upon the Class. In April 1937 we stepped before the footlights and al¬ though it v as our first appearance in dramatics, our play, ”The Pampered Darling” went over v ith a bang. It proved to be an hour of hilarious fun for our appreciative audience. As Sophomores we reported for class nearly 100 strong and with tv o new members added to our ranks, Michael Volpicelli and Joseph Gallerani. Freshman days were days of yore and v e felt our increasing importance in school. The struggle with Caesar and our initial efforts to grasp the fundamentals of French absorbed much of our time but not to the exclusion of athletics. In foot¬ ball Francis Byron, Jimmy Fullum, Thomas Creighton,Joseph Galler¬ ani, Nasaro Mantoni and John Murphy made the team. Mantoni brought glory to the cause by scoring a touchdown which meant victory for St. Mary’s in our game against Malden Catholic High School. This was but the beginning of a long record of success of which we are justly proud. V lth the closing of the football season, interest cen¬ tered in the Diocesan Debate which is an annual event of great im¬ portance in our curricula. Several members of the class qualified for the Debating Club and from this group three of our classmates, William Barron, Joseph Domsky and Paul Daily were selected to par¬ ticipate in the Diocesan Debates. Winter athletics claimed from our class Joe I rol, Paul Lally and Bob Phillips as members of our first team In ' babbit- ball. All rendered efficient service and r ave promise of de¬ veloping into first class players. In the spring of 38 we presented two One-Act Plays, ’’The Teeth of the Gift I-Iorse” and ’’Luncheon for Six”, The per¬ formance won the applause of the class and the school added to the reputation we had already established. Baseball was next in order and v re furnished the squad with some good material including Bob Phillips, Joe ICrol and Ra- saro Mantoni as pitchers; Barney Pyne v ho proved to be an excel¬ lent shortstop and Tom Kalacy, an outfielder. During our Sophomore year. Father Donahue organized the St,Thomas Aquinas Circle on the feast of the great doctor of the Church, St.Thomas Aquinas, March 7, 1938. The object of the cir¬ cle is to arouse a keener interest in the scholastic field. Those who attain an average of 85 j or over in four major sub¬ jects are eligible for ordinary membership while those who make 85f or over in all subjects are entitled to membership with dis¬ tinction. The following Juniors were present at the banquet hold June 1938: Robert Phillips Margaret Altleri ' Ruby Barrows Olivine Leheney Henry Pyne Charles Crowley Raymond Fredette Paul Lally Richard Moynihan Katherine Cullinan Eileen Nealon Maric O ' Rita Moroney Katherine Nealon Mary Shaughnessy William Barron Joseph Dornsky John Fooley Margaret Arsenault Marguerite Consoletti Virginia McDonough John Malia John Norton At the completion of our Sophomore year we found our¬ selves at the parting of the ways. Some chose a Classical Course 5.n anticipation of furthering their preparation ' while others took up a Commercial Course in preparation for a busi¬ ness career. Realization to the rapid flight of time dawned up¬ on us as we buckled dov n to our third year with zest cind a de¬ termination to make the last two year’s count most. Our class was augumented by seven new students: Rosemary Conway, Forrest Noe, Francis Powers, Ernest Wrenne, Vincent Ambroge, and Richard Knight. At a class meeting held in January, we elected Paul Lally for the office of President;Francis Ybungj.Vice-Pre ' sident; Nasaro Mantoni, Treasurer and June Rouleau, as Secretary. Our footbal.1 players, having gained much experience and some weight proved to be the backbone of the team. In the course of the year we organized a French Club, ”Le Cercle d’Ars” electing as President, Gerald Heroux; as Vice- president, Raymond Fredette; as Secretary, Mary Shaughnessy. We evidenced our further interest in education by forming a Science Club, The Edison Club , As officers we selected the following: Robert Phillips, President; Henry Pyne, Vice-president and June Rouleau, Secretary, As Juniors we furnished three debaters for the team besides an alternate. The forensic skill of William Barron,Joseph Domsky and Mary Shaughnessy helped to carry off the blue ribbon for St, Mary’s in the Diocesan Preliminaries and though we were defeated in the finals, we do not hesitate to say that our teams were a credit to the schools. The Juniors monopolized the basketball floor as nearly all the team was made up of members of our class. While the team didn’t carry off so many victories, the Juniors redeemed them¬ selves before the footlights. The school play, Wedding Spells was a howling success and much of the credit was due to the excellent work of John Peeley, William Barron, Mary Shaughnessy and I.Iarle O’Donnell, We still maintained our representation in the orchestra and Glee Club and even made an attempt to get into the boxing ring a new activity introduced by our director. Father Rupprecht, and sponsored by the alumni. The feast day of our Patron Saint, St, Thomas Aquinas, witnessed the second banquet of the Circle, Father Donahue waa host again and presided over tables simply groaning with all kinds of good things. Those v ho were favored to attend v ill not soon forget that memorable evening. Impromptu toasts and after dinner speeches were made by the host and guests while William Barron and Joseph Domsky held up the r.iusic assisted by warblers from the group. Thus ended an event to be cherished in the ann¬ als of our memories ' . The following Juniors were hidden: John Malia Margaret Arsenault Rosemary Conway Olivine Leheney Marguerite Consoletti Katherine Cullinan Note: Paul Lally was eligible as a debater The class of � 40 donated to the baseball team the fol¬ lowing seasoned players: Henry Pyne Joe Krol Nasaro Mantoni Robert Phillips mil Norton Richard Knight Charles Crowley, Man. Charles Fitzgerald, Man Paul Lally Michael Volpicelli While penning these few memorable lines, in imagination we see ourselves dignified Seniors but before we assume that title v e have to pass through the dreaded ordeal of Class Day. We do not beg for mercy but we promise vengeance at the Junior re¬ ception to all our persecutors. To the Class of,1939, the Class of 1940 extends good wishes for a future - ’’Bright with dreams that hope has bred”, Richard Moynihan ’40 Lord, when a thousand little things A friend has done for me Be lifted up to my poor thanks I’ll raise my heart to Thee I For Thou dost Imow - you made me.

Many of these ballads have be¬ come world famous for their beauty of rhyme, lyric and description. Volumes have been written describing Ire¬ land and her people from every angle and every facet. I will try, therefore, to give just a few impressions of Ireland as American tourists see it. Of course Blarney Castle is the Mecca of tourists to Ireland as are the Lakes of Killarney. With every scenic spot of the Emerald Isle, there is a legend connected. These stories - be they true or otherwise - are held tenaciously by the Irish people who avow that the facts connected with those legends are true. Everyone has heard about the Blarney Stone and how it is supposed to grant eloquence for life to those v ho kiss it. The legend connected with this concerns a chieftain of the fifteenth century named Comae McCarthy the Strong who rescued an old woman from drowning. In gratitude, she offered him the pov;er of elo¬ quence. All he had to do was to kiss a certain stone on the tow¬ er of his ncwly-erectcd castle and this singular powder v ould re¬ main with him forever. Ho followed her commands and sure enough he was endowed with the gift which she promised. This accom - plishment of Comae’s spread far and wide and from that day to this pilgrims visit Blarney Castle to kiss the stone hoping to acquire the miraculous quality granted to McCarthy. Another spot in Ireland famous for its scenery is Kil- larncy. Here arc three lakes, each more beautiful than the other. Famed in lore and song, these are known and loved throughout the v orld. One could hardly visit them without encountering a show¬ er of rain. Fortunately these are of short duration and the sun shines through the overhanging clouds. These lakes are secluded in a valley between mountains and hills. The surrounding country is luxuriant in rich verdure. The color of the water changes with the weather. If the day is dreary, the waters assume a dull, murky color and seem heavy, not unlike molasses. Wlien the sun shines on them, they smile with a rippling blue, a color not dup¬ licated elsewhere in the world. An old legend has it that the lakes were not always there, that the land beneath the lakes v as once fertile farm.ing land and a prosperous town flourished at the bottom of the vale. One of the inhabitants of this tov n had a charmed well which re¬ mained under control if it were covered at night One night the owner covered his well as usual and retired. A neighbor came to the well, took a bucket full of water from the well and forgot to cover it. The well overflowed and morning found the farms and the well fathoms deep under the swirling waters. Under favorable weather conditions, the peasants say that the tov n and even the well may be seen to this day beneath the surface of the lakes. On the north-east coast of Ireland, pointing towards Scotland,is the famous Giants ' Causeway, It is composed of small columns only a few feet in height,unique in their many geometric designs, being about fifteen or twenty inches in diameter. This foundation is believed to have been built by Fin MacCoul,a Giant Warrior of Ireland, in order that his Scottish rival might walk across without getting wet. Although it stretches only a few hun¬ dred feet into the sea, the almost indestructible basalt has with¬ stood ocean storms, leaving to this day fragments of the Causeway lending sufficient color to the legend. Returning to the southern part of the isle, on the pic¬ turesque slopes of the Knockmealldown Mountains, whose s xmmits are always clothed in a veil of fog, is situated one of the most flour¬ ishing abbeys in Ireland-Mount Melleray, There is no sight more beautiful than this Trappist Monastery-which dates back to 1833 - bathed in the rays of the setting sun. As a background to this secluded spot are the hazy, heather-covered mountains, with the sentinel-like spire pointing heavenward to remind the holy monks of the great hereafter. Entering through its leafy avenues, we come upon the community with its modern college and Guest Houses. The monks have erected a lasting monument to Almigbty God which is v orthy of His praise and blessing. About ten miles from this holy spot is a murky tarn dedicated, not to God,but to Satan. Nestling in the bosom of the Knockmealldown ' s is a small lake, seemingly no larger than a mill pond, called ’ ' Bay Lough ” Most of the scenic spots of the Isle are more or less associated with or dodicatod to his Satanic Majesty, However, if the Devil is not directly con¬ nected with tales of the place,he is at least the perpetrator of some maliciousness which has occurred there in the course of time. This particular spot in tho mountains is perhaps a hundred yards in diameter and nearly a quarter of a mile in circumference. The dark waters gaze morbidly up at tho overhanging sky. Tho air al¬ ways seems heavy and stifling and beneath the depths of the water some deadly struggle appears to be taking place. Low clouds drift even lower concealing the mountain peak a few hundred yards above. Their forbidding shapes reflect themselves in the pool. Although this lake looks very small, no one can hurl a stone diagonally across it. The sheep and goats grazing aimlessly on the nearby slopes lend specks of color to tho troubled ripples belov . This lake is believed to have been formed by Satan who bit out a hole in the mountain; the lake is bottomless and the waters are extreme¬ ly cold. Although this tarn looks very small, it is throe miles in diameter. Years ago a murder was committed there and the body of the victim was hurled into the waters. This explains why the waters are never still and never will be until the corpse is re¬ covered. To a mechanistic nation such as ours, the sweet, solac¬ ing beauty of Erin is refreshing but do not think that Eire, be¬ cause of her unparalleled scenery in a materialistice age, is not progressive. Far from it I Since gaining her independence after five hundred years of persecution; Eire has gone forward in the last twenty years economically, socially and politically far more rapidly than the wildest predictions of her most enthusiastic pa¬ triots.Today Ireland,because of her unique Constitution, is held aloft as the ideal Christian country. Weir may we,her sons and daughters, be proud of our il¬ lustrious parent. With the twenty years just passed as a norm.of • what Eire can do, we have no doubt that the watchword heard down through the ages of persecution will come to pass ‘ ' Erin Go Braugh”. Ireland has retained the glories of nature and though modern in every detail, it is still the stronghold of . medieval Europe and Old World charm.

' ; [RK ®[p DCE(XJ®CreA CW V practice horrible EFORE we delve into the present state of religious turmoil in the world today, let us retrace our steps to the age of Pagan Rome. Under the rule of Nero, Maximilian, and num¬ erous other tyrants, democracy was unheard of, but the nearest thing to it was the Catholic Religion. Here, open of their faith was refused the Catholics, under threat of tortures and torments, which eventually led to death. Al¬ though suppressed and overpowered, the Catholics took refuge in the Catacombs, and held there, their religious ceremonies, in spite of the fury and threats of the envious and jealous Emperors. Thous¬ ands upon thousands of brave martyrs, met courageously the violent onslaughts, unleashed by the power-crazed Rulers, who decreed that either the population do all things their way or suffer the conse¬ quences . We have many examples of this type of tyrant today, so again we are reminded of the adage that, ‘’History repeats itself.” It is not to be denied that the immortal Ceasar held the most absolute reign of power of all time. There is no man today who can honestly boast superiority in this respect. The power of the great Julius was thus handed down, many times falling into the hands of Anti-Christian Emperors. Each in turn violently persecut¬ ed the Church, yet unflinchingly the Church held its position; its numbers growing steadily, and as a result of the persecution, the Church is in existence today, flourishing supremely and mightily, v hile its persecutors have met their judgment and their bodies long since are of the earth. Logically if all the attempts of the pow¬ erful pagan rulers failed miserably to eradicate the Church, there is no earthly power present today that can possibly accomplish this attempt. Catholicity will live as long as the world is in exist¬ ence. Its present day oppressors, such as Communism and Dictators, will be dead and buried and the Catholic Church will emerge glor¬ iously unscathed and victorious, united by a common, democratic in¬ terest in the things of eternity.

As he visioned the glov of the Holy Face And fervently continued praying. As he knelt by the altar giving all attention To the life taking place up above His thoughts were of things too numerous to mention ' ut his heart overflowed with love. ”I wronder, ' he muttered, ”if God’s got toys And if at Christmas, He has a tree He probably gives them to all His orood boys I v onder if He’d mive one to me.” Someday ’ I’ll be there and knovr all these thin -s That is, if I be very good.

After visiting Jesus awhile. Mary McKenna N old dog was he, his last season on the track, alv ays in big time. His legs had a peculiar rubber-like qual¬ ity, not that they were weak, rather it v as the tough¬ ness of live rubber. Kis muscles lay close to the bone hard and smooth, whalebone wrapped in rawhide. He had run so much that his back feet toed in, denoting driving power.A deep keel and a broad chest, a solid beam-like back, rugged paws with tough nails and plenty of heart, that was Cheap Beef. Ho knev; his rights and stood up for them, yet he was tractable and easily handled. No other dog in the pack would alone tackle him, and on the other hand he did not lord it over the other dogs. Knov ing his place he kept it. Trackwise? Han alive, there was never another dog like him. He ran the rail all the v;ay around, whether he broke out of the eight hole or the one. There was only one draw-back--age the nemesis of every professional athlete.When he was brought to the track many v;cre the remarks of, ‘ ' Counterfeit”, Grand-pappy’, ' and Been eating nothing but gruel for three years . Entered at si: ty-four pounds,he did very v cll at prac¬ tice, but when the races rolled around the best he could do v as one-third and one-second out of ten starts. Oh! he wasn’t the worst dog at the meet, but he wasn’t showing up as well as he had during the schooling. It was decided that his weight should be changed, as he seemed to be putting on v eight and had to be left out because he was a few ounces over. Accordingly, his v eight was boosted to sixty-five pounds. This., procedure necessitated a little delay, as it was necessary to give him at least one school ing at his new weight before it became official. Altogether, the dog enjoyed a lay-off of about ten days, counting the time from his last race, (the race before it was necessary to have him scratched.) All this time he was carefully built up, and kept in good trim. V e had been cautioned against running Old ’’Buster ' in any distance greater thanj 405 yards. Hov ever, he seemed to bo in such fine fettle that his hondition plus his great track experi¬ ence v;arrantcd the risk of running a greater distance. The next r.onday, therefore, found old Buster” entered in tho 5 lS race (550 yards). He had drav;n the three hole and as this was fairly close to the rail v e expected him to be in tho monc r at least.The old timer broke sixth out of the box and p-rabbod the rail. On tho first turn the pack ran wide and old Cheap Beef hugged that rail to be first around the turn. In the back stretch it was Cheap Beef by two lengths, at the far turn ho v as still ahead , coining strong. But this v;as only tho beginning. ' On V cdnesday, again in a 5 lG, he drew tho one hole, broke fourth, grabbed the rail, was first around the first turn. In the back-stretch it again Cheap Beef by one length;rounding tho far turn it was again Cheap Beef by a head ith ’’Twinkle Lou” coming up fast on the rail v ith ‘’Dancing Comont” glued to her tail. The old boy Y as crovvr(iod in tho stretch but ho came in a fighting second. The • results ' ' road ‘Tv inklc Lou, Cheap Beef, Dancing Comont. On Friday, Buster drew the eight hole again in a 5 16, everything looked black. Hero he was a rail runner in the eight hole. V hat rotten luck! But v e reckoned not on his great heart and years of experience. He broke fourth, was third rounding tho first turn, was second in the back-stretch; the crowd was going wild. On tho far turn, the pack ran wide. Cheap Beef grabbed the rail a.nd ’’lit a shuck” for home. In a heart breaking spirit, dowTL the stretch he overhauled first one dog then another to win by a nose. Did I say this v as his last season on tho track? His last meet? Brother, I was v rong; the old follow is running nov ,-- in Florida. •: {I. aybc I should have called this yarn ’’Comeback”). EDV ARD VHIALLEY. Class of ’59, OUK rJISTOKY It was the seventh of September, The year was nineteen thirty-five We were entering school as Freshmen Peeling very much alive. The atmosphere was different now And we felt very proud We should really run things If only we’re allowed. Week in, week out, we labored To gain some recognition But alas-no use, we were ignored In all of our decisions. When the happy year as Sophs Came round in thirty-six. We were recognized a little And really allowed to mix. We were still considered young ones And always in the way But then the Seniors changed their minds When they saw our One Act Play. Well we struggled on till we. Were Juniors at S. M. A. Just one more year till Seniorship At last we’re on the way Everything went fairly well Until Class Day at last arrived Even now we are still wondering How we ever did survive. For now our hidden secrets Were known far and wide We blushed, as on the stage we staggered Even tears were hard to hide. Junior Reception night soon came And now it was our chance To return these shivery feelings And also, to conduct a formal dance. Although our upper classmen Were awaiting our time to entertain They bore expressions on their faces Of some one who was in pain. Now at last we’re Seniors And striving for the goal We’re fighting as Crusaders For Christ, and to save our soul. Farewell Alma Mater And to the faculty too Gratias, for our education We owe it all to you We go into the world, out up on our own To conquer under the Sign And we’ll practice all your efforts ’We’ll make you proud of ’39. And as out into the world we go With ideals, lofty and fine. We’ll try to make you proud of us So proud of the class of ’39, Mary McKenna, The nimble fingers of the wind Stretch forth among the trees And thru the forest nature’s harp Is echoed in a breeze: Like voices from a chapel choir Where hearts are gently stirred By unseen powers from abov e And then a hymn is heardl Mary Read, ’37, If I had the lamp of Aladdin I would rub it and hope to be Taken right up into Heaven The face of Our Savior to see I would deck myself in my lovliest frock And be on my best behavior I’d go to the gates and I’d gently knock Anticipating the face of my Savior. ■ on on entering the heavenly homo My cares and troubles would vanish I’d never care to return to my own Such beauty I never could banish. The atmosphere v ould be holy,- The dwellers within, full of grace; I’d recall the manger, lowly, Mary and Jesus in Holy embrace. Then the choirs of angels beautiful V ould chant their loveliest hymns Their apoearance would seem so youthful Because their hearts wc.re free from sin. I would be too ungrossed in this beauty To ever want to depart. But I suppose it would be my duty To achieve this, with all my heart Well, my musings are over, dear Jesus, And again I cm just ”me’ I’ll sleep on all my wishes And pray for a place with thee.

La Paix, La Paix, la rue de la Paix, For goodness sake, don’t you know what I say?’ ' ”En francais, je veux, la rue de la Paix. Naturally, now you know what I say?” But he shook his head and his face was sad. And then I thought, well, my French is had. In Paris its hard to get what you wish In fact it’s a stru:;,gle, to just order fish.

I thought that I would feel entirely dif- fcrent- ' you.Imow superior to the undergraduates - but I feel just the same as i ever did. Unfamiliar faces among the sisters greeted us, but there is no change in the Commercial department. Sister Elizabeth i ry and Sister Immaculata will be our teachers again this year. Sister Cecelia Mary has Freshman 11; Sister St.Fabian Sopho¬ more 11; and Sister M. Bernadette Junior Classical. There are two Junior High classes this year, the second being taught by Sister John Aloysius. Rosalind, why did you ever have to go to California? Milford just isn t the same without you. Oh well, I hope to see you some¬ time and in the meantime we can write to each other. Alv;ays yours, Kay. Sept. 22, 1938. My dear Rosalind: Your letter was J.ike music to my ears. I can t tell you how many times I read it because I can’t count up to that number. I enjoyed reading about your school life,but I think that there was just a trace of homesiclmess v hen you spoke about dear old St. Mary’s. But I am getting away from my purpose. I am writing this let ter to tell you of the terrible hurricane that struck our fair town yesterday. I ' ve often heard of the Big Wind in Ireland but I never expected to see anything like it. It rained all morning long,but then at dismissal the sun struggled through for a minute or two and then disappeared again. About three - thirty the rain poured down and the wind rose to about a hundred and sixty miles an hour. Darkness settled down upon us and people scurried here and there seeking shelter. Roofs were torn from houses, factories and stones and were throv n to the ground, A hus that had stopped on Main Street just escaped being buried under the debris of the front wall of Mullens’ store. About seven o’clock the storm let up a little but we had no lights because all the electric wires were and are down, so Mil¬ ford is all in darkness. School closed early because of the small attendance, I am sending you some pictures and clippings so that you can get an idea of the havoc that the storm caused. Right now Milford has nothing in common with California. Yours by the candle light, Kay, October 13, 1938. My dearest’Rosalind Every letter that I get from you makes me long to go to Cali¬ fornia, but I suppose that I will have to wait a while for that. At the last period of school today the Senior Class v as cal¬ led to the hall and there Father Donahue appointed the staff for the Yearbook. Edward Whalley was named Editor-in-chief, and who do you think was appointed Assistant Editor-in-chief? Yes,you’re right. I was named to fill that office. Others on the staff are: Mary McKenna, Eileen McCarthy, Joseph Murphy,William Hayes,Cecel¬ ia Grant, Alice Moroney, Margaret Fahey,Constance Newcombe,Helen Gordon, William McGrath, Ernest Lemire, Dorothy Lucler, Mafalda DeSalvta, Ernest Bouchard, Joseph Wells, Anna Curley, Kathleen Bardsley, Herbert Keenan, Irene Bessette, Charles Miller, Louise Tosches, Anna Small, Greta Chapdelaine, and Frederick Collins. I suppose that we will be very busy from now on, but I will always find time to write to you Rosalind, and write to me again soon, as your letters are always a joy to receive. As always. October 20 , 1938, My dear Rosalind: After reading one of your most interesting letters I feel ashamed of my own poor literary efforts, but nevertheless I am v riting to you again, V fe had instructions today, given as usual by Father Donahue, His talk was chiefly about Cur Sunday Visitor ,a catholic paper that is put out once a v eek. Father Donaliue wants every student in the school to write an essay every week on the most interest¬ ing article in the paper. To get the paper we will ha.ve to pay the small sum of two cent- a week, I think that Father Donahue is doing this to get the stu¬ dents of St.Mary’s interested in Catholic Action,and also to let them know the truth of what is going on in the ' world, and not the truth as seen through prejudiced eyes. Vi hen you write again tell me more about your school life as I am keenly interested in all that concerns you, I Alv ays yours, Kay, December 14, 1938 Dearest Rosalind: Father Donahue came into our room today and said that we were going to have a debate very soon and I was picked to take part in it. The other members of the class that are to be in it are: Helen Gordon, John Davoren, Joseph Moore,Joseph Small, and Frederick Collins, my namesake. The question that v e are to debate on is: Resolved: that the student body of St. Mary’s High ' School Is .not interested enough in its own welfare to obtain a better press for itself . Ify knees are shaking now when I think of getting up on the platform to speak, so what will it be like when I really get up there? Keep your fingers crossed for me Rosalind, and I will do the same for you some day. My dear Rosalind: Yesterday was a big day for us. We presented to an admiring audience our two one - act plays. The first and longest one was One Gift Above Another . The actresses and actors taking part were; Constance Newcombe, Eileen McCarthy, Marguerite McGrath, Dorothy Lucler, Helen Gordon, Virginia St. George, Joan Tobey, Charles Miller, Ernest Lemire, William Hayes, and Fred Collins. There were tliree children in the play and for these parts we borrowed Betty Rooney, Bobby Gleason, and Jean Fitzpatrick from the Grammer School. The other play was The Bitter End . Irene Bessette, Joseph Small,and Joseph Scannell took part in this one. Both plays were very good and those taking part in them are to be congratulated on their performances. Write again soon to your friend. Kay. My dear Rosalind: T e dredded oratoricals are all over and I felt just exactly as I knew I would on the platform. We of the Senior Commercial had our contest yesterday and the Senior Classical contest v as held the day before. Those selected to speak in the finals are as follows: Eileen McCarthy, Helen Gordon, Ernest Lemire, Leon Osachul-c, John Ford, John Eckersall, Joseph Murphy, Greta Chapdelaine, Cecelia Grant, Mary McKenna, Anna Curley, Mafalda DeSalvia, Margaret Fahey, and Kathleen Bardsley. The finals will take place in a few days and I know that everyone will do credit to the Senior Class. again soon. I enjoyed your letter very much and hope to hear from you vO ' Your sincere friend. Dearest Rosalind: Kay. June 1, 1939. Of course you know of the old custom of St Mary’s playing Milford High every year on May 30th. Up to the time of the game with Milford High on Memorial Day, St. Mary’s had won every game that they had played but one, and that you will agree was quite a record. But it seems that when they were put against Milford High they just wilted. Larry Heron made the only home run for our team. Ernie Bouchard and Dick Knight came through with two good plays for the Saints but their plays came too late to help St. Mary’s cause. Sprague, a pitcher for Milford High seemed to have our boys right under his thumb, or should I say ball? St .Mary’s bovi ed to Milford High 6-3. You,know Rosalind, I told you in the month of October that a staff had been selected for a Yearbook for the class of 1939, and that we would be very busy from that time on. Well truth to tell we were not very busy working on it for quite a while. No one seemed to have ambition enough to really get started on it Now we’re making up for lost time and I must get to work.
