OUR CLASS PATRON The Wonder-Worker Among all the saints, Saint Anthony is the saint o:f wonders.

Tm marvelous power o:t: miracles conf'erred upon him by God has won for him throughout th~ entire world the name ot WonderWorker. The people of his day said or this holy Franciscan: "If, then, you ask :for miracles, go to Saint Anthony and you will obtain what you seek. 11 This is true or him :for he h a s been known to cure cripples, to heal invalids, to restore li:fe to the dead, to help overcome temptation and to :find things lost.

The Church invokes his memory every Tuesday of the year.

The Senior Class of 1952 chose St. Anthony as their patron because he was an excellent speaker who converted many heretics and who was noted for his study and prayer.

We are going to go out into the world where there is need or men who c¡an stand up :for the Faith, men with the knowledge of God to oppose evil and to pray to Him as Saint Anthony did. '£ his Doctor of the Church will help us.

Marcel Methot

We, the Seniors of St. Francis, being of sane mind and sound body, bestow our worldly possessions upon the faculty, lay professors, and our beloved Juniors: Firstly we offer to the Fathers and lay professors our sincere appreciation for their undying perseverance in all they have taught us, and we wish to say that their teachings have not been in vain.

the best of success

4~ /7/ f e~

~~a~~ 'J11/ollo nPer ardua surgimus." "We rise through di.f.ficulties. 11 In 11.fe we will have many hardships, for li.fe is not easy.

We must overcome these di.fficulties to be successful.

This is one o.f the reasons why we a.re going to school: to learn how to overcome these problems and be successiul in 11.fe.

One of the best examples o.f one who rose through innumerable di.fficulties to achieve success was Abraham Linc·o1n. We may not become presidents o.f the United States. we can achieve success without becoming president.

We will succeed if we learn to be masters of ourselves and try to live up to our motto.

Lester Collins

Violet, Royal rlobe, sweetest of all flowers! Magnificent, extralarge flowers of lustrous, de~pest violet-blue.

Intensely fragrant.

The large, superb flowers open wide.

The stiff erect stems grow up to --.-...·ueight inches or more.

It is hardy enough to live over winter even in this rigorous climate of Haine.

We, the class of 1952, have chosen this flower not only because of ·its beauty, but because o.f its durance through the long winter months.

It faces life with its hardship as we should all do. It pers~veres through dif.ficulties and emerges a.fter with all its beauty.

Alf'red Jacques

FR.c;SHMAN Y~AR In September of' the year 194d, a group of' "green" freshmen crone to register at st. Francis and thus started on their i mportant journey through high school.

Our class consiste d of' thirty-three members all of' whom were wet behind the ears.

But we soon established ourselves and got off' to a good start.

Class elections were held. The off'icers were as follows: p resident, Gary Michaud; vice-president, Maurice McDuf'f'; cha irman, Albert St.Cyr; and treasurer, Alf'red Jacques.

We were faced with many problems and one of the biggest was initiation.

The upper-classmen told us tales of' hor r or and warned us to be prepared :for the ordeal that we were to experience. Initiation was not as bad as we expected it to be, and we were very glad when it was all through, :for we were then :full :fledged boys of' St. Francis. Before we knew it the y e ar came to an end and we were only too happy to leave :for home.

SOPHOMO.tlt!. YBAR The summer of '49 passed quickly and the month or September found us reunited once more at St. Francis. One can imagine how happy we were to greet each other with smiling fac e s and warm hearts; but there were only twenty-four of' us t h is time and four out of this number were n e w members.

During the :first week of school we held our class elections. The of'ficers were as :follows: president, Gary Michaud; Vice president, Gerard Nantel; secretary, Carrol Soucie; and treasure, Alfred Jacques. Many Sophomores were s p orts-minded.

Six memb e rs represented us on the :football squad and :five did us justice on the basketball courts.

During our Sophomore year we took part,- i.n various activities and organized plays for dif'ferent parties.- We were kep t quite busy throughout the whole year and once again it was time to bid one another :farewell.

It "w-a s then we re a lized that we had completed half' of our journe;1~ugh hish school.

JUNIOR YEAR In the third year of our high school care e r, the number of our class was down to twenty-two. We elected our class officers and this time there was a change in the big wheels.

Alfred Jacques took the spotlight as chief executive, with the assistance of vice president Carrol Soucie, secretary Roland Guerrette, and treasurer Gary ivlichaud. We had two parties to organize: the Mardi-Gras and the Bonfire; the latter was to have taken place in June in honor of the Seniors. Our MardiGras party was a success and all of the faculty and students enjoyed it very much. Different plays and entertainments were presented and refreshments were served. We could not have our bonfire party because we left for home a day earlier than we were supposed to.

The junior class contributed quite a few of its class members to the school ball clubs. These boys made a good showing in the sports world and we were very proud of them.

We shall all remember our junior year because that year our school received two distinguished guests: the Most Reverend Bishop Feeney of the Diocese of Portland, who came to St. Francis on November 8, 1950 to bless our new school. A banquet was given in his honor. Walter Dropo dropped in on us in February and gave us his views concerning the forthcoming baseball season. A banquet was¡ also held in his honor.

Time passed quickly and again it was time for our summer vacation.

S~NIOR Y]:!;AR It was not long before we found ourselves together again at our beloved St. Francis; only this time we were going to complete the last part of our high school career. We immediately settled down and started to work on our Yearbook. Our class officers, being the same as the preceding ye&r, had some experience in the art of organization, so the Seniors wer e given the honor of sponsoring the initiation. We g a v ~ the new boys quite a rough time, but we compensated for our cruelty by serving refreshments after the ordeal was all over.

This year is the last year at St. Prancis for most of us; but we shall never forget our Alma Mater and we shall always be true to her.

During our wonderful stay at St. Francis we have experienced much happiness and we have also had a few difficulties, but these difficulties have always turned out for our ultimate good. we shall neve r forget this institution of learning and the wonderful work that the Franciscans have done for us. As we tread the path of life we shall surely always have a prayer in our hearts for our beloved Alma Mater and its faculty.

October 4, 1964, Saint Francis is holding its Silver Jubilee.

The graduating class of 1952 is holding its reunion in a new hall, recently erected through the generous contributions of the class of '52. It is a beautiful. structure built by one of our fellow classmates - an engineer.

The world has really progressed since our graduation. Atomic power is used on the same level as we used electricity; supersonic transportation is now commonplace.

And the class of 1952 is helping society to bear many of its burdens.

Our guest of honor is Father Kevin-friend, teacher and advisor.

In his talk, Father Kevin reminisces on those happy years at St. Francis.

"Another lawyer with the "gift of the gab~ and a very good and promising practice in Portland is Lawrence Cummings. .

"This class has certainly produced diverse professions. On the medical plane is Robert Gagne. Bob has his complement of patients and d~votes much of his time to the clinics.

"Francis Greco is also a doctor, and a heart specialist at that, Frankie•s practice has been so successful. ·that it was largely through his generous contributions that we were able to bui~d this new hall. ··a :propagator of the li'aith - _R oland Guerre~te, imbue_s the minds of the faithful with · Our Lord's teachings. His clarity h a s won him many followers among the clergy and the laity who come to hear him speak. And his inherent amiability has . won over many none omf ormi s ts.

11 A football star of college days is Robert Lamirande. · He had a higher calling and has been recently ordained __to ~~~ _E:;"__i~~t~oo_d .

"We are very fortunate to have w::i. th us.· today a musician of illustrious standing. George LaPointe, who started out playing a trumpet for Stan Kenton, has now taken over since Stan has retired.

His ideas and modern works on architecture will take him far.

"Patrick Picard is a farmer.

He is also an expert on soil fertility, crop rotation and fertilizer.

COLLEGE The collegians, although not allowed to be intimate with the high school, still r.1ake up a good part of the scho0l ~ For instance, they participate in a f ew of tJ:1.e intramural sports a ctivities, and in the past they have been very successful, much to the dislike of the senior cl a ss.

For we s e ni ors do like to be on the top as -c;he most advanced of the high sc:n.ool 'I 'hey h a ve b e en so far quite successful in their own 11 ttle sports circle. They beat ti.1.e seniors in football who, by the way, were tops in the high school. ·I'nen a g ain in baske tball they beat the seniors who were without their illustrious stars _, nar.i.ely the varsity boys.

1-Je can remember most o:f the p r e sent colleg ians when t hey wer e i n hig h school. ;.. few of their active 1r1ember s a r e comparatively new.

For e xample, the colleg ians have a promine nt member in the chapel se:e vices.

JUNIORS The junior class, which consisted of nineteen members, was very active in most of the year's events.

They were very cooperative and willing to do their part in the parties presented during the scholastic year. Jerry Parent was elected president of the class with the assistance of vice-president Bertrand Bouchard, secretary George Poulin., and treasurer Charles Murray.

Richard Fongemie, the only member of the junior class on the football team, made a good showing on the gridiron, while Bill Laverdiere, Al Goupil Bill Doran and Ray Simoneau had a very fine record on the ba;ketball courts. 'rhe eleventh graders were represented in the band by ~ 0 O'Neil. We also finct drawing talent in John O'Neil. The Junior class also had some members in the Third Order and the Cam.era Club . i"le Seniors are deeply interested in the Juniors because th:3y have been our fritir1d.ly rivals in sports and other ac ti v~ tiE:~ since their freshman year.

They are a class which has 1 nad~ much progress in studies and discipline.

It is with great sincerity and pleasure that we, the Seniors, wish then1 all the success and happiness in the world.

May God bless them!

FRESHMEN st. Francis opened its scholastic year of 1951-1952 to twenty-nine eager F reshmen. They elected Richard L'lieureux as class chairman to take care of things. ~arly in the month of October, these zealous freshmen were initiated. They took quite a punishment but nevertheless they took it with much spirit.

Th~y also shared in the field of sports and furnished some brilliant football players, such as, Richard ~lourde, Francis Waldron, and rtaymond Beaumont.

In basketball they gave to the varsity Robert Raftice and Richard Denton, a highscoring forward. Some didn't have enough ability to play on the varsity squad, but they showed their spirit by participating in intramural contests.

We wish a pleasant journey to these loyal son~¡ during their stay at St. Francis.

EIGHTH GRADE Last :Jeptember when we arrived at .St. Francis, we found out tha t the number of eighth graders had increased .

Last year there were but six o.f them .

This year there are fourteen. They are all fine, courageous, che e rful .fellows .

They elected a few class officials .

The president is Robert Ouellette; vice-president is Charles Hc.Swigj:n; class representative is Peter Caron; and class manager is Ronald Pe lle t i e r .

The eighth graders had their own dormitory this year.

Their Pre.fects have been Father hldee and Father Donulus .

On initiation day in October the eighth graders were initi a ted along with all other newcomers.

They had a rough time on the night of initiation, but they showed wonde rful spirit .

We are all proud to have such a i'ine group of schoolmates with us this year . vie wish them success in their i'uture years .

May they keep the spirit of Saint Francis with them throughout their lives t May God bless them all and guide them through life!

SCHOOL ORCllliSTRA Last fall, the indefatigable F ather ~dmour took our small school orchestra under his care.

The orchestra was first started by our present Rector, Father Fred eric, and went through several success.t'ul seasons under his expert direction. A gifted composer of music, Father Ange-Marie wa s its next director.

But, in recent years the orchestra's activiti e s have dwindled We were very fortuna te to /considerably. have Father ~dmour this y ear. He h as done a lot of painstaking work and has taught the boys much.

The boys played exceptionally well at t h e Halloween Party and at the Mardi Gras. Their best-loved selections we re 11 Twelft'.n Stree t Rag 11 and "September Song. 11 Scho ol Combo Richard Clement Sea .i!:.xplorer Ship

When the boys a rrived last fall, they were very much impressed at the sight of so many boats in the bay and on learning that most of them belonged to the Sea ~xplorer Ship

315.

The Sea ~xplorer Ship is very fortunate to have Father Norman as its advisor.

He has a license to pilot a boat, and is a member in good standing of t he United States Fower Squad ron and is Chaplain of the Casco Bay District.

Th is is enough to assure us tha t our skipp e r is full y prep ared to teac h u s how to cruise safely .

The Third Order This universally known organization was founded by the saintly father and patron· of this school, St. Francis of Assisi, during the thirteenth century • .

When st. Francis founded this Order of Penance, as he called it, he had already institutedtwo orders: the first for men, under the name of Friars ¥.dnor and the other for women, under the guidance of St. Clare.

This popular saint created the Third Order so -t hat the lay people of the world, who were already in social or marriage ties, and who were not in a position to bid farewell to the world and spend their days in the solitude of the cloister could participate in the advantages of Religious life and attain .to perfection.

The Third Order of St. Francis has come a long way since the day it WA-S ~ecognized by the supreme he~d of the Church: and it is known and loved by thousands throughout the whole world. st. Francis' College arid High School is one among the numerous places where the Rule of the Order is kept and practiced, Many students have taken the Holy Habit of the Third Order in the past, and even more enroll at present.

The Tertiaries at St. Francis High and College have weekly meetings, during which the Rule is explained under the direction of their master, Mr. Ernest ~uery, and they also have monthly spiritual lectures given by Rev. Father Luke, advisor of the Order.

The Third Order i6 a holy institution, offering great advantages to its members.

Pope Leo Xlll says: "Both the records of times gone by and the nature of the Order itself show how great is its influence in promoting justice, good works, and religion. We are convinced that the Third Order is the surest antidote for the evil of our times and the most efficacious means of bringing the world back to a true and lasting practice of the teachings of the Gospel."

CHOIR choir consisted of approximately fift een memwere inexperienced in the art of singing and of notes.

But this did not discourage our very Rev. Father Norman, for he did a most remark11

This year our bers, most of whom . reading music capable conductor, able job.

Practices were held twice a week, on Monday and Friday. .L'he choir sang the High Mass on Sunday Mornings and sang at Benediction on Sunday and Tuesday e~enings. The Schola also .rendere d its services for any special occasion tha~ arose during the schol a stic year.

I especially wish to give an honorary memtion to George St. Laurent and Ernest Query for the ir outstanding singing. Ge orge and Ernest sang many solos at Mass and at Benediction, and they c e rtainly made wonderful impressions on everyone who had the opp ortunity of hearing them sing.

For a choir of little experience, one may truthi'ul l y say that much p rog ress was ma d e throughout the year. Thi s , of course, was mostly due to the patience and hard work of Fa t her Norman wh o d eserves much praise.

T&: C~RA CLUB

On October 7, 1951, Rev. Father Norman genial leader, organized the Camera Club here at St. Francis.

The Camera Club, after many dicussion~ finally organized itself into a prominent fellowship.

Tl;le officers for the year are: president, Alfred :Marin; vice-president, George Roderigue; secretary, Joseph Lemieux and ,:treasurer, Richard Levesque.

The Club has an excellent dark room with modern equipment which has been lent to us by the Sea Scouts.

The purpose of · the Club is to direct students in the art of taking and developing pictures.

Three contests were sponsored: one for the best pictµre of the year, and one for each semi-annual period.

O.F.M., our

The Club sponsored various social activities throughout the school year. We decided to have a birthday ·partJ , each month for all the students whose birthday fell within that month.

It is our sincere wish that this organization will prosper at St. Francis for many years to come.

As the winter snow covered t he St. :-t<·ran.cis crunpus the Red Knights progressed through their second season of organized basketball.

Coach ·:lilkinson, who had molded a successful combine in the 1950-51 carn.paign, had slightly better material to work with. The only ·advantage gained was height.

As we now look back over the season we find th~t Coach ,lilkinsun molded another powerf'ul quintet that wen-c thPough the season with only one loss. 1Je see a team that hud twenty-six straight victories in two secsons, twenty-one straight ones this season. · 'f aking a look at the tearn we find Frank Greco as the tall man in the pivot. Frank, being 6'4", has an advantage on rebounds and can also score heavily.

Co-captain Lawrence "bunky 11 Cw.111:nings is the stylish ballhandler of the club and is in his s econd year as co-captain.

Bill Laverdiere shares the captaincy with Cw.mnings and is the team 's main scorer.

Phil Austin is a 6 1 2 11 boy who is dangerous around the boards.

Dick Denton, a young f'reshman, is the set-shot artist of the te am.• These five men carrie d the colors most of the year but the substitutes cannot be shoved aside .

Capable ballplayers such as Al Goupil, Carrol ::;oucie, Hannie Cyr, Leslie Bouchard , Bob Lamirande, Bernie Croteau, Billy Doran, Leo Roy Dick Plourde, and Guy Banvill e , worked hard all season. He memberl Some of these boys will be wearing the varsity colors next year and t he year after.

So hats off to the 1951-52 Red Knights squad!

BASÂŁ;BALL Our baseba ll team may not be as strong as as we would like it to be this year but there is one consolation: .eve n &t this time of writing, everyone knows that the boys will put everything into their game for the sake of the school~ and throu gh love of the s p ort.

The team will be built a round a few veterans , namely, Bob Lamirande, Gerald Cloutier , Bill Laverdiere, and Bernie Croteau.

So, good luck, fellows, and play ball!
