"W H ATS RIGHT WITH YOUTH?"

Sound different? . . . We hope so!

We of the '61 Memini staff are tired of hearing all the negative remarks about our generation.

We know our generation has faults, problems; we know it has hopes, ambitions, and ideals, too.

We agree with Bishop Flanagan, with Father Oliver, with the others we have quoted in these pages, all wise people who see youth as something more than a kind of disease.

We intend to do what we can to defeat such negative thinking. We are beginning by publishing this yearbook, by letting these young people, with a picture story of their actions, refute the notion that our whole teen-age group is escapist, is soft, is irresponsible, is morally feeble.

Our editor summed up our thinking in a letter to a local paper when he wrote that our generation was very concerned with "the realities, the problems, the plain moral defabrication of this country."

As he put it, "We even worry about it. We have had bad dreams about it.

Even if we are sheltered to ... a degree, the real and dirty ugliness of the world about us would not fail to gain our attention,"

He spoke for us then; he speaks for us now. We intend to keep on speaking — through this book.

We are not offering it as eighty or so pages of self-congratulations, but as proof that good things are being done, that there are places where people our age can learn to do better.

We are not going to answer the question,

"What's right with youth?''

We are going to show YOU!

Zke Senior Class Annual of Assumption Preparatory School Worcester, Massachusetts T is good to note that you have chosen for your theme this year, "What's right with youth." One hears so much about what is wrong with youth that it is encouraging to learn you are convinced that the picture is not all black. And, indeed, despite all that we see and hear of delinquency among many young people in our day, there is a brighter, though less publicized, side to the picture.

The late Pope Pius XII evidently felt this way about our Catholic youth. "This germination of youth from a generation which almost seemed doomed to extinction," His Holiness once said, "is marvelous and charming. It is a youth new and vibrant in its spiritual and social programs aimed at extending freshness and vigor, with eyes fixed on the future this influence, our Catholic young people have risen and also with an unrestrainable impulse directed to the challenge with admirable zeal and enthu¬ to the highest ideals.

On the contrary, especially through our Youth Council, I have noted I am confident that with the direction and guidance an awareness of the challenge which our present being given to them by so many devoted priests world and society present to them.

> MAURICE R. ALLAIRE, A.A., ACTING DEAN OF STUDIES

In his first year as Dean of Studies, he did a tremendous job in helping each of us take another big step in educa¬ tion. He was always willing to discuss the student's problems with him, and his advice was welcomed and respected by all. His great understanding of youth created an atmosphere of friendliness which always helped us to feel relaxed in his presence. As Dean he was very good; as a friend he was even better. He took an avid interest in student activities, knowing very well that the complete man is composed of a sound mind in a sound body. We are indeed lucky to have had such a man to guide us.

PHILIP E. BONVOULOIR, A.A., DEAN OF STUDENTS

As Dean of Students, he taught us the value of discipline in our lives. He was indeed the student's friend, always ready to help a student with a problem, no matter what it concerned. Later on in life when we look back on the years we spent at Assump¬ tion, we will thank him for greatly hastening our formation. He was a strict but understanding discip¬ linarian. We all remember the numerous privileges he granted us. As moderator of alhletics, he did much to encourage our participation in sports. Rest assured he will not be forgotten by any of us.

Recorder Everything these days is in terms of psychology.

Who are we youth not to be with it? So we came up with these words from an American psychologist, William James. He said: "Let no youth have any anxiety about the upshot of his education, whatever the line of it may be.

If he keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself.

He can with perfect certainty count on waking up some fine morning, to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation, in whatsoever pursuit he may have singled out.

Silently, between all the details of his business, the power of judging in all that class of matter will have built itself up within him as a possession that will never pass away.

Young people should know this truth in advance.” We do know this truth in advance. We have learned it from those who have taught us how to "keep faithfully busy each hour of the working day.” On the pages that follow you may see those who — both by word and by example —- have taught this truth — the faculty of Assumption Prep.

It was a lost generation that became our parents; it was a silent generation that became our teachers; it is a soft generation that now sits on the pad. What makes us a little more?

The Alumnus said it, answering the question: "What is a true preparatory school?" "It is the launching site of all that is to be . . . the countdown of four critical years . . . the fire and flame that propel a boy's ideals to rocket — arrow-like, man-like — toward the eternal lure: knowledge and love ... it is the riving-away from the earth of parental dependence ... it is the missile knifing through the higher unknown and slashing at the new, at the cosmic horizons of the soul . . . it is the noblest experiment of them all."

So we sit like Commander Shepard, waiting for the countdown for life. Like him, we have had good training; like him, we cannot predict what is ahead. But, like him, we still want to know what is up there . . . nine . . . eight . . . seven . . . and do what we can to use it to man's benefit . . . six . . . five . . . Senior Officers

FRESHMAN YEAR

Beset by many apprehensions, the Class of ’61 arrive and meekly survey these "hallowed halls." What lies in store for these once-proud, one e-mi ghty kings of grammar school? Oh, if we had only known!. . .

Orientation days aren’t too bad — at least we can suffer in relative seclusion ... In three days the invasion begins .. .Who can ever forget the frighten¬ ing novelty of Latin or Mr. Gaucher’s lively classes? . . . Sports season opens and Johnny Grenier makes a spectacular Slyard run for a T.D. against St. Bernard’s . . . With promotions by Rene Bonneau, yo-yo sales in Greendale skyrocket . . Both the Asian Flu and Fakeritis claim many victims among us .. . Some un¬ known artillery expert manages to propel a paper clip across dorm .. .The 61st Division also distinguishes itself in snow skirmishes with the rest of the school ... "But Father, why can’t I go to CCD classes, too?" . . .The laurels of Field Day find their rightful owners

— namely, us .. . Then we get a coffee-break — after nine months. SOPHOMORE YEAR

The ’ fwise fools” return . . . Old faces are missed, new ones are greeted . . . ”How come the freshmen are so puny this year? Last year they were just our size!’’ . . .

Old English Proverb: "Em with yon — things are tough all over” .. . ”Procrastination” becomes quite the rage ... Brother Paul takes his final vows . .. Every Wed¬ nesday afternoon, a group of repressed young men huddle around the TV set for ”Bandstand” ... ” Allons, enfants de la patrie” .. .The freshmen don’t seem to appreciate too well the mole’s-eye v':ew that we offer them of the beautiful winter scenery . . . The battlefield changes from Dorm to Study Hall, "Where the paper clips’ glare; Elastics twanging in air; Give proof through the period; That no monitor is there” . . . Victory is ours in the One-Act Play Festival and again on Field Day . . . Then, on the last night, Father Joseph is seized by a sudden fit of insomnia and keeps us up till 1 a.m. in Dorm — or is it vice-versa?

JUNIOR YEAR

Hail to the mighty upperclassmen!. . . After two years of unceasing strife, we can at last enjoy the fruits of our labors ... Shiny new class rings are sported — and sought!. . . ”Shirts and ties!” . . . 'Heat waves” scorch several little ’’seats” ... We live — and flunk

— by the 15th, 14th, and 15th Amendments . . . Marcus Moran is ever-striving to attain his Master’s in barbering . . . "Take page 189, please" . . . From the darkest depths of the TV Lounge comes the mighty cry: "l want Huckleberry" .. .The boiler room illus¬ trates its need for more space graphically — ka-boom! ... Due to excessive rainfall, three carp migrate to our pool... Once again, honors in the Play Festival and Field Day go to ’61 . . . Ronald Bosse decides to go to confession the hard way — from the choir loft down! .. .The bell saves us again, and we pause and refresh ourselves for the final round.

SENIOR YEAR Top dogs at last! . . . "Les especes de sots sont bien nombreux cette annee” .. .The seniors revolutionize the novelty industry by presenting to the public a bigger and better type of squirt gun known as a "wash bottle" ...

And as the sun sets on the last vertebra of the departing backbone of dear old Alma Mater, one last mournful plea can be heard: "But I don't want to be a nuclear physicist — je veux vend re des peanuts!'’ Lyman Bryson, of TV and radio panel fame, once wrote, "Youth thinks intelligence a good substitute for experience, and his elders think experience a substitute for intelligence." Cynical, we admit, and a bit unfair too, at least if we are speaking about the Prep's underclassmen. We saw them as intelligent, yes, but as receptive to the training and example of their elders, professor, priest or parent, as well. We know their elders here at the Prep as skillful combiners of experience and intelligence; we see these underclassmen, based on their records in class and out, as solid replacements for their elders. In fact knowing them, we think it may have been they whom Henry Adams had in mind when he wrote: "What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn."

"Youth is such a precious thing, it's a shame to waste it on children." So the saying goes, based on the idea that youth is all energy and no purpose. In contrast, here are remarks about their activities from some of the Prep's club presidents and leaders: "Keeps young boys who think they have vocations in touch with other boys with similar ideals . . . gives the boys a better understanding of their ideal." —

Kevin Nordberg, St. John's Guild

"Learn to weigh both sides of a story . . . learn the value of deadlines . . . learn not to take good newspapers and the work behind them for granted . . . learn to be more intelligently critical of other publications." —

John Paulhus, Heritage

"This year’s debate topic made members more aware of humanity's problems; of global strife and tyranny, and the need for an organized, unified, peaceful human race." —

Leon Frigon, The Learned Blacksmiths

"Consacre a I'etude de la langue parlee . . . I'occasion de pratiquer et de manifester leurs talents sur les planches en meme temps que s'exprimant dans le francais magnifique des geants du theatre: Moliere, Racine et autres." — Gregory Chabot, Paris par ici

Energy? See the pages that follow. Purpose? These words show purpose well-understood, energy well directed.

"If youth be a defect, it is one we outgrow only too soon." James Russell Lowell said it, and perhaps he was right. Organizations... Catholic youth Cornell

RESOLVED THAT THE UNITED NATIONS SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENED Noel J. Collette, A.A., capable and personable director of the group

The combined Assumption Prep and Notre Dame Academy Glee Clubs at their annual Parents' Day Concert at the Prep. President Kennedy says, "The television set, the movies, and the myriad conveniences and distractions of modern life all lure our young people away from the strenuous physical activity that is the basis of fitness in youth and in later life.” We cannot deny his remarks entirely. But we do offer the members of our own class who are active, who have not gone soft. These are our varsity men. Our biographies also show that many of our class were active in intramurals as well. "Youth is not a time of life," said General MacArthur, "It is a state of mind. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty." General, we agree — to a point! On these pages are proof that all of us have not gone soft physically but proof too, that fifty is not the magic age — nor twenty, either. Perhaps the magic age is more like the average age of the Class of '61, or any other class with some of that desire for physical activity that all youth is supposed to be losing. FOOTBALL

But, to show that we do not learn from our elders, we close with these pictorial memories called All Sorts. A bit of humor may lighten the load, ease the pain that an American writer, John Burroughs, summed up this way: "In sorrow he learned this truth — One may return to the place of his birth, He cannot got back to his youth.”
