Winooski High School - Carillon Yearbook (Winooski, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1951 volume:

THE CARILLON Published by The Senior Class of the WINOOSKI HIGH SCHOOL In the ancient town of Bruges, In the quaint old Flemish city, As the evening shades descended, Low and loud and sweetly blended, Low at times and loud at times, And changing like a poet’s rhymes, Rang the beautiful wild chimes From the belfry in the market Of the ancient town of Bruges. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1951 VOLUME SEVEN WINOOSKI VERMONT THERESA JULIAN Editor-In-Chief PAULINE BERGERON Business Manager DEDICATION We the Class of 1951 respectfully dedicate our Carillon to Miss Katherine Margaret Nowland, our beloved teacher of Mathematics. Miss Nowland, who fostered our spirit throughout our high school years, made us not only hope for great tilings, but actually prompted us to do them. Our increased dealings with her revealed her to us in the splendor of her witty, honest, straightforward and forceful character, endowed with a solid sense of loyalty inherent in the greatest of teachers. What she has taught us will always be a living monument to our valued friend and adviser - a memory and an ideal to inspiration for future years. For help that she has given us during our periods of need, for the interest she has so consistently manifested in our endeavors, both individually and collectively, the Class of 1951 devotedly dedicates the 1951 Carillon.

It must be remembered that this will was written in moments of rash thinking, there- fore, these gifts should not be declared void upon request. Before I go any further I would like to give a little bit of advice to the oncoming seniors. They should appoint two husky, strong boys or girls to act as guards in the event that an underclassman tries to get smart and make use of the front entrance, a privilege only for seniors. This may solve your problem. To the members of the faculty we wish to express our sincere gratitude for all the time and untiring efforts they have given us, to aid us in reaching our goal, our gradu- ation. Their patience and guidance will always remain with us throughout the years. I shall now proceed to the following personal bequests: I, Mary Leveillee, leave to Janet Crady and Joyce Tobin some of my old love letters. I, William Arcand, leave to Guy DeVarney and Donald Lefebvre my Charles Atlas Course, it hasn’t worked yet. I, Betty Lister, leave to Lorraine Merchant my rendition of the Charleston.

Signed: The Class of 1951 Jacqueline Bergeron HISTORIA CLASSIS As the C]ass Historian of 1951, it is a pleasure to present to you, our teachers, parents, and friends, a view of our twelve years of schooling. It is no doubt a repetition of what other classes have encountered. It was a very pleasant fall day when we entered school. We were as shy as those before us, not knowing what to do when we arrived there. It was a great event for which our parents had tried to prepare us, but it was not what we had expected. There were new faces and the absence of our parents added to much of the confusion. We soon began to enjoy the routine of school, but were greatly disappointed on the days when there was no school. The reason for this was that we had come to enjoy the companion- ship of other boys and girls and all the fun we had. The years passed by in rapid succession. We learned the basic courses for our future studies, which were reading, writing, and arithmetic. We played games, sang, and drew, along with the basic courses. We put on many musical skits which were enjoyed by the whole student body. Before we realized it we were ready for Junior High School. The changing of classes confused us in our seventh year. We were also confused with the length of classes and examinations, but we soon became accustomed to them. In the eighth grade Marion Sal 1 ah was awarded the Good Citizenship Medal. Class Officers: William Arcand, Robert Bouffard, William Tobin, Ludger Benoit, Mary L«u Mongeon, Marjory Mongeon, Theresa Julian, and William Daley. Along with our losses of classmates in the ninth grade we gained new ones. They were: Anita Quintin, Joyce Gay, Aline Hatin, Jacqueline and Pauline Bergeron, Irene Chari and, Lorraine Limoges, and a few others who left us later that year. We were allowed to select our own courses of study and we tried to make wise decisions. We kept wondering what the future held for us. We had our choice of the following activities: Glee Club, Band, Dramatics, Baseball, Basketball, and Cheerleading. During our four years of high school numerous social events were put on. We have many pleasant memories of our dances, plays, class trips, and glee club concerts. The Junior and Senior Banquet which was held at the Burlington Country Club was the main event of our Junior year. The girls in our class looked very attractive in their evening gowns. Their corsages of roses, orchids, and gardenias made them look even more attractive. Our guests were Superintendent and Mrs. Lull, Principal and Mrs. Couture, Mrs. Long, and the Senior class. Our Junior class advisor was Miss Stone. The first social event of our Senior year was the class play. It proved to be a suc- cess, both socially and financially. We chose our class colors, name cards, and Commencement invitations in the early part of the year. The CARILLON Staff and the cast of the cl ass. pi ay were chosen at this time. The following were elected to the CARILLON Staff: Theresa Julian, Editor-in-Chief; Anita Qiintin, Assistant Editor; Pauline Bergeron, Business Manager; Anita Quintin, Elaine Merchant, Beverly Francis, Joyce Shiner, Jacqueline Bergeron, William Daley, Aline Hatin, Audrey Provost, Ix rraine Limoges, and Jeannette Bouffard. After tryouts for the class play, “ Murder in a Nunnery,” a three-act comedy and mystery, the following cast was chosen: William Daley, William Gregorek, Elaine Merchant, Theresa Julian, Anita Qiintin, Audrey Provost, Shirley Fitzgerald, Aline Hatin, Mary Leveillee, Pauline Bergeron, Jacqueline Bergeron, Irene Chari and, Robert Rabidoux, Albert Sweeney, Donald Ignaszewski, Joyce Shiner, and Jeannette Bouffard. Miss O’Brien directed the play. Our class advisors during our four years were: 1st year----Miss Garvey and Miss Taylor 2nd year — Mr. Herbert 3rd year----Miss Stone 4th year — Mrs. Long The following class officers were elected during the four years: Freshman year: President — Norman Poulin Vice-President----Albert Sweeney Secretary----Theresa Julian Treasurer --- Mauriee Lefebvre Sophomore year: President — Paul Lister Vice-President — Norman Poulin Secretary --- Maurice Lefebvre Treasurer —- Joe Caforia Junior year: President----Marion Sal 1 ah Vice-President — Beverly Francis Secretary — Jacqueline Bergeron Treasurer — Lorraine Limoges Senior year: President — Mary Leveillee Vice-President — William Gregorek Secretary----Jacqueline Bergeron Treasurer — Aline Hatin We, the Class of 1951, wish to thank our parents, teachers, aid all those who helped us through our twelve years of school. It has been a pleasure for us to review and relive this history with you, and to us history has not repeated itself. Elaine Merchant Cl ass of ’51 AUGURIUM CLASSIS By Joyce Shiner Station WWHS Joyce Shiner speaking. Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Stand by for the latest news reports.

That hour has arrived for the Seniors of the Class of 1951. We are pleased that you have come to attend these exercises which formally mark the close of our high school training. Commencement is a great, happy time for those who are advancing step by step in the pathway of education. Comnencement marks a certain work accomplished, a task well finished, and for this reason, it is a joyous time. It is a time when we forget past mistakes and difficulties and turn our faces to the future. We only hope that past errors and mis-steps may be guideposts for us in the newer experiences before us. Our Principal and teachers have been more than instructors. They have been the truest of friends and we greet them most heartily at this time. Without their patient guidance and instruction, our graduation at this time would not have been possible. It has indeed been a rare privilege to have worked with them. We would also salute our superintendent, Mr. Lull. His efforts have been untiring in our behalf and because of his deep interest in our welfare, our school days have been very happy ones. To our parents, we owe a great debt of gratitude. They have made our school days possible. They have worried over our shortcomings and sometimes, perhaps, they have resorted to severe measures to induce us to keep on with our work. Today, all that is of the past and we are glad that they have kept us at our tasks. Youth hears America call. America is calling us to get into the activities which will preserve democracy in this country. She is calling us to take up arms in the great humanitarian movement to preserve freedom for all people in every nation. Youth is being called upon to tackle the problems of conserving the natural resources of this nation. We hear the laboratories calling us to help work out new formulas for agriculture, medicine, and manufacturing processes. The pulpits of the land invite the young person to take up the cause of religion, that spiritual guidance may be given our people. Our young people are needed to fight the battles of the world in the war zones. We believe that youth is needed to fight the battles of humanityon all fronts. Educational systems need the young and progressive ideas of youth. Health programs need the sug- gestions of youth - for not only must this nation be concerned with preserving the health of the adult citizen, but the young people must have a chance to live happy and healthful lives. The hope of the future is in the youth of the land. America has been called a land of opportunity. We are interested in keeping it a land of opportunity. We believe that we should live in a society which will give the older people security in the declining years of their lives, but we do not believe that such a program for security for the aged should jeopardize open opportunities for youth. We do not believe that such a program of security should even jeopardize the elder’s opportunity for continued service within bounds of health and strength, to do so. Youth seeks a future with both security and opportunity. Youth hears America call to get into action and help form its own future. Youth needs the adventure of seeking new opportunities beyond high school. We are about to enter a world that has few geographical barriers - a world nearly devoid of political boundaries. We are about to enter a world in which the peoples of the human race, regardless of the color of their skin, their political and religious faiths, the language they speak, or the garb they wear, are making one tremendous effort to understand each other, and to learn to live and work together. This new world we are about to enter is in confusion. We find men’s opinions changing rapidly to keep up with the changing times. We can not withdraw from this atomic age, it is here. We must learn to live with it. As our civilization stands today, we have a society of intelligent people but too often we let a few leaders influence the thinking of all. The country is flooded with propaganda to support the things the leaders want, not always that which is for the common good. An obligation rests upon every individual to study the problems of the community and state, the nation and the world and to decide for himself what the answer is. Habits and customs are like plants. They seem to come up from nowhere and to grow unattended. Just as it is possible to influence the way plants grow, there should be a way to influence the way human habits and customs grow. People should be better trained for straight thinking. Whether or not the youth of our generation will succeed in mobilizing all resources for a better world is going to depend upon how many individual persons here and in every remote corner of the world will dedicate their lives to the application of a principle, which, if not entirely new, must be stronger and better. We must all join in the fight to keep our independence. The dangers we face and the jobs we have to do are great. The enemies that have smothered a dozen nations have struck our shores. We must be determined that “ Our government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Up to this time, the members of this class have been one body with a single aim, that of completing the course of study outlined by our school. From this time forth we shall be individuals with separate aims and different goals in life. We will no longer be united by one common tie, but will go our separate ways. We will go forth from this school into other schools perhaps, and into the broader school of life. Our paths may seldom cross or meet, but we will carry with us ideals and inspirations given us by our school. To all the friends of the class and of the school we, again in closing, extend our good wishes and heartiest greetings. The voices of the past whisper to us in review of the school days which are now be- hind us, as we sit here at our Corrmencement exercises. We also hear the voices of the future calling to us. We are not surrounded by doubts and fears. We have confidence that we can help preserve democratic freedom in the world, and in so doing also preserve the American way of life for ourselves. America is calling and the youth of America will answer.

DIRECTOR GLEE CLUB NOTES The Winooski High School Glee Club embarked upon another full year of activity. In September voices of Glee Club candidates were tested; from fifty candidates, thirty were chosen. Aline Hatin was elected President of the club. Practices began the last week in September. The first time the club was heard publicly was at a P.T. A. Social, where they were very well received. Enthusiasm ran high when a select few from the club formed an a cappella group which met twice a week directed by Mr. Saucier. The Glee Club and the Caroleers (ana cappella group) were invited to sing at the Champlain Teachers Conference in March. The audience was a very appreciative one, and this gave a great deal of confidence to the Glee Club members. There were many excellent comments from principals and superintendents who attended. Many letters came to the club congratulating it for the splendid renditions. The next part of its activities was to prepare for the Annual Concert, March 30th. John Donoghue was guest soloist, Mrs. Geneva Devino guest accompanist, and most ap- preciative and those attending enjoyed the concert very much as did the Glee Club members themselves.

Marion is to be congratulated upon her splendid work in music. Mr. Saucier was very proud of the club this year as usual. It received a rating of “ Excellent’’ at the Festival. The critic mentioned especially the posture of the students, their platform appearance, Mr. Saucier’s work in directing and Mrs. Long’s accompaniment. It was a very active club throughout the year. A banner was purchased, thanks to Mr. Lull, our Superintendent, and the kids were very proud to march at the Festival parade. Miss Aline Hatin, president of the Glee Club for the past three years, has been a most efficient and an untiring worker. She will be greatly missed by the club members, by Mr. Saucier and Mrs. Long. ONE-ACT PLAY “ The Perfect Gentleman” was put on in Waterbury High School in the State One-Act Play Contest. Winooski came out second behind Waterbury High, who won first place. Winooski was followed by Peoples Academy, Waitsfield and Lamoille. “ The Perfect Gentleman” was directed by Miss Margaret O’Brien, of the faculty. Synopsis of “ The Perfect Gentleman” -- The play opens as Margaret Ames, in high school, has a.crush on her chemistry teacher, Mr. Crawford, and invites him to dinner. She insists on lowered shades and lighted candles and tries to instruct her young brother, Bob, on how to be a perfect gentleman. But everything Bob does, he does it wrong. Her sister, Alicia, comes home from college for the weekend and at once Alicia and Mr. Crawford are interested in each other. Mrs. Ames, her mother, has quite a time trying to avoid arguments between Bob and Margaret. Bob tries to be on good behavior, but after entertaining Mr. Craw- ford with Alicia’s baby book he finds his efforts aren’t appreciated. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Ames . . . . Robert E.

These and other nations of the earth explain a lot about themselves just by the use of their proper names. But the citizen of the United States has a different problem. There lives in him a kind of unspoken assumption that his nation is something more than a nation; that it is an experiment, perpetually evolving into something new; that it embodies an ideal. In referring to his country, therefore, he is led on a quest for words. The best word he has ever found is “ Liberty,” or to use a longer phrase “ the American way of life.” Precise thinkers detest this phrase. It is used by every orator on every side of every issue; by the labor leader, by the business man, and by the dentist. It is used beyond our shores by intellectuals. This phrase gets the American into many dif- ficulties. In a way, it sets him apart from the rest of the human race, as if he had taken up residence on another planet. This aspect of the matter worries him deeply. He likes to be liked and he likes people. He is proud that his country is populated by so many races and national origins. He welcomes into his midst their various cultures and traditions. He cherishes a liking for many distant peoples - the Chinese, for instance, have always been favorites of his (and the fact that he is fighting them now is a tragic inconsistency). He is taking very seriously his new role of leadership in the Western worJd, whose culture and spiritual traditions form the basis of his own, and whose civilization he is prepared to defend. Thus this phrase, “ the American way of life” however useful for certain purposes, has become productive of a great deal of misunderstanding and friction. However, it would not be practical to abandon it, because it does mean something important - in- deed, to the American, something indispensable. What is the American way of life really like? To the foreign visitor the most disturbing thing about our way of life is its “ materialism.” The visitor is drenched with sights and sounds and smells emanating from a manmade environment to which almost all Americans appear to give almost all their energies. Pervading these sensory experiments there are the psychological ones - the indifferent way in which the radio combines “ entertainment” with the most humiliating requirements of the human organism - the ever present advertising, seek- ing to identify human happiness with bright teeth - the infantile movie heroes - the wasteful “ abundance” protruding from every store. The visitor sees all this, and is impelled to somber speculations concerning the fate of humanity. What price “ this American way of life?” A noted Russian recently in our midst, a Mr. Vishinsky, states that American capital exists for the purpose of exploiting the people. The American capitalistic system still works injustices, but to think of it in terms of exploitation is to think in terms of a past century. It is not the capitalists who are using the people, but the people who are using the capitalists. Capita] has become, not the master of society, but its servant. The Federal Reserve Board shows that four out of ten American families possess at least $5,000 of assets over liabilities; and that nearly one family in ten has net assets of $25,000 or more. We are a capitalistic people. There is not just one American way of life, there are American ways of life, almost without number. There are the great regional differentiations, where nature herself has conspired with American institutions to create ways of life as different from each other as those of two nations might be. Take the Far West. This vast area which begins east of Colorado, has many things in common with the rest of the United States, but the ways of those people are very dif- ferent from the ways of the Easterner. The Western people are more outspoken than the Easterner, more cordial, more generous of their time and money; they speak slowly and they have a way of cutting through a lot of argument to reach a quick conclusion on which they are willing to stand or fall. There is another vast region of the U.S. lying between the Rocky-Mountains and the Appalachians, where a river may be a thousand miles long and where everything drains into the Mississippi. Here life is practical and real. Ways of life here are based on the soil. The Midwest farmer is fat with the world’s riches. The South is a problem country. It grew up differently from the rest of the nation with an economy based on big land holdings and slave labor. The southern way of life differs radically from other American ways of life. The pace is slower. The extremes of poverty and riches are greater. The traditions are better preserved. The storied Southern “ aristocracy” is becoming something of a myth but we still hear much of Southern hospitality and of the peaceful ways of the South. Geographically, Texas belongs to the Mid-West or the South, but in terms of its way of life it belongs to neither. Texas has got richer faster than any comparable region of the U.S. ever has. Oil derricks, skyscrapers, flamboyant hotels, oil and gas pipelines, canals, piers, and great industrial shapes have sprung like mushrooms from a landscape. The making of wealth dominates the Texas way of life. The Texan likes to spend money as wildly as he makes it. He loves the “ feel” of struggle, and the exhilar- ation of victory. In the East the way of life is crowded. In the winter, the Easterner takes to the trains and planes if he wants to go anywhere; in the summer he chugs despondently along obsolete highways, breathing carbon monoxide from the car ahead, snarled in the traffic of his innumerable cities. He lives in an industrial jungle. His most awe- inspiring sights are not the works of nature but the works of man. He is caught in a maze of brick walls and steel shapes, communication lines and enormous switchboards, six lane clover leaf highways and railroad switch yards of such complexity that the eye can not predict the path that a train will follow through them. The island of Manhattan with its subways, tunnels under the rivers, and its millions of people living on it, tier above tier, could not be endured by the Westerner. Yet the East is exciting and it generates big ideas that have had enormous influence in the development of America. From the Manhattan apex there extends westward an enormous triangle, one side 900 miles to Chicago, the other 1,000 miles to St. Louis. This is the industrial tri- angle.” Within the triangle, ways of life differ. The way of life in New York City differs from the way of life in Boston. The elite’ in Boston still cling to a great cultural tradition. Up here in Vermont and New Hampshire we find a stubborn folk who have never yielded to the most “ advanced” versions of industrialized life and on a number of instances they ha e refused to accept Federal aid. However, this New England ruggedness is on the wane. Which one of these ways of life does the American mean by “ the American way of life? The answer is all of them. New England is no less “ American than the North- west, nor Denver no less than Atlanta. This diversity itself is the way of life - nations within nations. Nor can the way of life be defined by the life of any one particular community - the late Sinclair Lewis notwithstanding. American life is not regional but local. The life of one town is influenced by a newspaper editor who wrote a history of-his country and is a specialist on Indian warfare; the life of another, by a unique Chinese restaurant; and still another is influenced by a German “ verein.” All cultures are cherished - interwoven - modified. Our American way of life is many things. It is the man with a thousand canaries, the man who keeps five buffalo in Connecticut; the electrician with odd working hours who spends his mornings in the town library in blue jeans reading Shakespeare; the vegetarians; the Indian fortunetellers; the old lady who writes poetry in the manner of Sara Teasdale; the hobbyists; the carpenters; the gardeners; the amateur painters; the man who plays the flute in the morning; the expert on Japanese prints; the col- lector of chess sets, and the newsboy shouting on the street corners, “ Read All About It� ” Americans pour out an incredible amount of energy whacking golf balls, playing tennis, hiking, camping, sailing, fishing, and hunting. Most foreigners fail to under- stand all this dashing around. They fail to understand the American belief that energy creates energy. An American likes to parade as a “ tough guy” but his armor is figuratively paper- thin. There are apt to be vulnerable spots - for example, children. Americans love children to the point of being silly about them. Americans wish that other people could see their country as it really is; not as an achievement, but as a process - a process of “ becoming.” In the American’s eyes, the individual is an enigma. Therefore, America is an enigma. Study the Great Seal reproduced on every dollar bill - an Egyptian pyramid rising from a mysterious plain; a mystic eye blazing light from a pyramid’s top; it is clear that few Americans can tell you what that seal means. The American way of life em- bodies a mystery, which no one has yet solved, but which is common to all men the mystery of the human spirit. In our America, every man has his chance, regardless of his birth. Every man has the right to live, to work and to be himself and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him. Our American way of life has been won by courage and it must be kept by courage. Our flag which first saw the light of day under the loving fingers of Betsey Ross, was born of the sun and the stars, christened in patriotism and dedicated to liberty. Our American way of life began in the cradle of liberty and it has now grown into a world power. The words of Thomas Paine, “ These are times that try men’s souls” are as meaning- ful now as they were during the Revolutionary period. The words of Patrick Henry, “ Give me liberty or give me death re-echo in our ears, when we hear that a foreign power looks with jealous eyes on our wonderful country and its people. “ May Our star Spangled Banner in Triumph ever wave” - as it must and as it will “ O’er our land of the free and our home of the brave, and accordingly preserve this our American way of life. Classmates: It is said that every rose has its thorn; every joy has its undercurrent of sorrow; certain it is that the Class of 1951 frids the pleasure of achievement dimmed by the severing of school and class friendships. To the shortest path, to the longest lane, there comes an end; inevitable change brings the sweet, sad word “ farewell.” We have come to the first harbor in the journey of life, graduation from high school, now we shall scatter to the four corners of the world, and a new class will fill up the empty places we leave in the ranks behind. We shall become but names and memories in school history but our Alma Mater will be ever dear to us. To our friends gathered here, to the teachers who have been our guides and to our fellow students, it is my privilege to bid farewell. We do so with lasting gratitude and marked respect, for it is due to your work and your efforts on our behalf that we are ready to do some of the work the century has in store for us. We feel that, if the future deals with us as kindly as the past has done, life will be very good, indeed. We go to meet it gladly, carrying in our hearts only kind thoughts of our school, its teachers and students. Goodbye and thank you.

Bob BoufTard gave consistent play as catcher and outfielder. VARSITY FOOTBALL For the first time in more than a decade, football again made its appearance in the MiJ J City. Under the tutorship of our new football coach, Stan Yankowski, and back- field mentor, Hal Tipson, the Miller Football Squad very satisfactorily completed a rugged five game schedule. All in all, the boys performed very creditably in their first season of organized football and sported records of two victories, two defeats and one tie. Our opening game was played against Littleton High School on our home grounds at Hawthorne Field. After the fireworks had stopped, we found ourselves with a thrilling one point victory over the powerful New Hampshire team. A forty yard Myers to Lister pass in the final seconds of play was the margin of victory. The following Saturday our boys were not as fortunate as we tasted defeat at the hands of St. Johnsbury Academy. The game was the Millers first contest on the road and was played before a capacity crowd under the arc lights of Hazen Field. We became partially consoled the succeeding weekend when we played host to St. Johnsbury Trade School.Coach Yankowski’s l oys displayed tremendous offensive power and easily outclassed the much heavier but less experienced charges of Coach Ingram. The final two games of the season were played against Newport High School and St. Mary’s High School of St. Albans in that order. At Newport, the Millers really came into their own and proceeded to push Coach Lander’s State Championship Newport Team all over the field for three quarters before bowing out in the final period. We climaxed our season at Hawthorne Fieldwherewe played a bruising, careless tie with the Gaels of St. Mary’s. Twice during the game the Millers crossed the St. Mary’s goal line only to have the plays nullified because of penal ties. Of the members of the squad, those particularly deserving of mention were Raymond Bruneau, Ronald Lacourse, Peter Formica and Dick Daigle at the guard positions, A1 Sveeney, Bernard Phillips, Norman Fregeau and Jim Mazzatelli at the tackle positions, and Sam Jacobs, John Ladue, Guy Devarney and Bradley Mayo at the ends. John Crowley was our tower of strength at Center. Crowley played a stellar role in the Millers’ line by participating in every game without substitution. Bruneau and Formica were also indispensable in the line while Jim Mazzatelli has convinced us all that he will certainly be a major cog in the Miller football organization next fall. In the backfield, Joe Myers proved himself to be an outstanding field general who very capably quarterbacked the Winooski gridiron machine. Plunging Paul Lister was our touchdown darling and gained honorable mention in the All-State selections along with Joe Myers. Myers and Lister were an unstoppable combination and were highly responsible for the offensive power which the Miller’s squad often displayed. The steady, dependable play of Buddy Dashnow, Eddy Seymour, Wesley Carroll, Ronald Langlois and Donald I.efebvre rounded out our not too heavy but very versatile backfield. Others on this squad, who deserve a great deal of credit, were linemen Birdie Bergeron, Bill Wilson, l,eonard Crowley, Joe Bielawski and Edward Audette. Backs, Ray Chicoine, Earl Kirby and Tony Aruzza completed the 35 man Miller football squad. VARSITY FOOTBALL FOURTH ROW: RAYMOND BRUNEAU. COACH STAN Y ANKOWSKI , JOHN LADUE.
