•t- Q iCrTis ■ 5 ' y 1 , ' r it MILFORD MASSACH lOe%c ‘PcU%( tic Love of our democracy through understanding of its high ideals, respect for one’s leaders because their power comes from God, equality among men since knowledge banishes prejudice—enlightened by all these, St. Mary’s develops true citizens through a study of our country’s history, re¬ vering her flag, fighting for it, if necessary; indeed, we are truly patriotic. Because every classroom is God’s workshop, every student realizes he is here for a purpose, an instrument of God’s will, every religion class clarifies and expands our knowl¬ edge of the faith we practice, every religious activity is entered into wholeheartedly, every graduate becomes an embryo Christopher. Therefore we are Catholic in the true sense of the word. St. It ' s our blue and white colors which inspire spirit. It’s our Fighting Saints who are our champions on the athletic field. It’s our Fighting Sixty-Ninth” with its ideals of modesty and purity of life and daily living. It’s our loyal student body, dedicated to the Queen of Mothers and under the guidance of teachers consecrated to Christ. It’s our ALMA MATER. S cettcKC .... THE MOST REVEREND JOHN J. WRIGHT D.D. Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts He comes — Clothed in sacerdotal robes, A shepherd’s staff in priestly hands. And on his lips is peace. Love one another” — this, his prayer.

Another Christ — He stretches forth his hands, In the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, He claims all for Christ in his sheepfold. For color, race or creed Not one unsought. O Son of God, Give him Your strength Be unto him, the Way, the Truth, the Life, That he may gather through his consecrated years All sheep ivithin his fold, For Thee, O Christ!

In the academic classes, they prepare intensively for further studies in college and for the professional world. Here the French and Spanish Clubs scan their first language papers and magazines. SHORTHAND St. Mary’s intensive business course requires all the industry of our aspiring secretaries. Taking dictation at the board are M. Curley, C. Dalton, M. O’Brien and R. Lamontagne. CLASS .

It is the medium which brings the student body together and allows them to share one another’s interests, com¬ petitions and triumphs. The Sidelights’ reporters cover all school projects and extra curricular activities. Be¬ sides the news stories, the students show their creative talents on the editorial pages where they bring timely religious and secular topics to the attention of the students. The Sidelights is truly an integral part of life at St. Mary’s. STAFF PRINCIPALS The annual literary edition of the Blue Mantle requires the combined efforts of the staff to achieve the high stand¬ ards which it has enjoyed and which are anticipated by the student readers. Editor, Cyril Kellett, with the aid of the faculty advisor, Sister Rose Concepta, has assumed the entire responsibility of the publication. Subscription Mana¬ ger, John Kirby; Business Manager, Raymond Kelley and the senior suf ersalesman, Lester Maroney, have worked hard to publish and finance the book. The Blue Mantle is an outstanding example of the ability, loyalty and co-operation of the class of 1953. ( otcttcci A government for the student and by the student, thus St. Mary’s enacts one of the fundamental tenets of American democracy. Student-elected officers imbued with the co¬ existent virtues of justice and charity adminis¬ ter necessary laws under the proficient guid¬ ance of faculty advisors, Father Farnon and Sr. St. Berchmans, Principal; Albert E. Sayles, Coach, is the Athletic Moderator. The officers are President, Cyril Kellett; Vice President, Joseph Hannigan and Secretary, John Sawyer. tf- Each year fhe st-ate of Massachusetts invites the stu¬ dents in all its high schools, both nublic and private, to spend a week in intensive study of the workings of our state government. During january, an election is held in each high school for the purpose of elect¬ ing one student representative to participate in the exercises of Good Government Day which is observed in April at the State House in Boston. Here the teen¬ agers take over the various duties and offices of the duly elected representatives from the Governor down to the youngest member of the House. The Governor himself, draws by lot the names of the principals who participate, and the remaining names become senators or representatives. Elections were held at St. Mary’s on January sixteenth, while Good Government Day was observed on March sixteenth, 1953. J. KIRBY CONGRATULATED John Kirby, (fifth from left) being congratulated by his classmates for winning the coveted honor of Representative from St. Mary’s for Good Government Day.

However this is not the ' sole purpose of the choir di¬ rected by Sister Rose Concepta. It is an organization which promotes a better under¬ standing of the techniques of a choral group. All this is attained by months of practice, months of self-sacrifice, of weary repetitions, and endless polishing and perfecting. A generous, co-operative spirit is a vital necessity for the tedious hours of rehearsal, but the success of their efforts is for them sufficient compensation and reward.

Ck ;4eti yK The Christopher movement which swept over the country and over the world during the past few years was motivated originally by Father Keller, a Mary- knoller. The primary purpose of this trend of putting Christ into His rightful place in the world, is to com¬ bat the evils of Communism, and the idealogies of godless countries. By means of television, radio, books, maga2ines, movies, the classroom, business, the factory, the farm, would-be Christophers are en¬ deavoring to change the world in their spheres of daily living. Not the smallest effort expended in do¬ ing one’s bit to make the world a better place to live in, goes unrewarded. St. Mary’s sends out her gradu¬ ates year after year , with the Christopher ideal before them. All aboard the bus for their annual retreat at Participating in a panel on the titles of Our Lady are E.

FIGHT! of the Blue and Whiters who go into every ath¬ letic contest with the enthusiastic backing of student fans. Defeat and victory are met alike by the good sportsmanship which years of St. Mary’s tradition have inculcated in succeeding generations of cheerleaders.
