P 9 aelle, o L 6 CORRINE STREET, WORCESTER, MASS. » It is indeed difficult to ameliorate one’s disposition. Nevertheless, in this past year, Leo has changed noticeably from his natural tendency toward mischievousness. Porky s helpfulness in behind the scene activities, especially Intra¬ mural Sports, is a characteristic for which the entire class is thankful. As his favorite pastime, Leo enjoys a good book. His keen observation of incidents originating Around the Campus’’ gives him the right to use his pen name Hugh Sedit”. His interest and proficiency in chemistry will some¬ day enable him to work amidst the test tubes.

H. In the past two years, Tiffy” has successfully assumed many responsibilities in connection with the Memini-Heri- tage. As captain of the football team, Tiffy ' s’’ fighting spirit proved to be the bulwark of the team.

P, roi oit, Pi ierre 13 HILLSIDE AVENUE, AMESBURY, MASS. A natural punster, Pius” possesses an unsung wit which has enlivened many a bull session. Although indifferent to the laughter he creates, Benny” holds a bottomless store of spontaneous yet pertinent wisecracks. Benny ' s” religious education has taught him always to respect Scripture: Let not the right hand know what the left hand doeth.” Pius” should well understand the study of hieroglyphics, for his undecipherable handwriting well resembles it. One of the few aspiring engineers, “Benny” will continue his studies at Worcester Tech. Activities: Honor Holl 1, Class Basketball 3. 208 CARLETON STREET, PROVIDENCE, R. I. rme Here is one of the most devoted fellows in the class. The object of his devotion: the front office. He emerges occasional¬ ly to attend classes and to eat; otherwise, he resides in his sanctum. Spring cleaning is a weekly chore for the meticu¬ lous, well-groomed Ernie”. A fond disciple of Thomas (not the Aquinas), we little wonder why he has been track mana¬ ger these past three years. Amongst the numerous religious orders, “Ernie” has chosen that of the Oblates.

Only a complete self-sacrifice can typify his whole-hearted devotion to the success of our class. We will always remember J. P. ' s arduous, never-ending work toward the glorious completion of the Memini-Heritage. Here, there, and everywhere, the corpulent J. P. can easily be recognized as the nucleus of the Big Molecule.

Wavicotte, W arJ 0. “Cel 143 MEADOW STREET, BRISTOL, CONN. Celly , the first half of the Massicotte family, does not resemble his brother in most of his physical traits. He ' s not slow, he just takes his time. All kidding aside, Cel can really move.like a turtle. After working seriously through¬ out the week, Celly has often found relaxation on Saturday nights. Ever since Marcel received his Big Ben alarm clock, he has been putting it to good use in the oddest of moments. A Wall Street enthusiast, Celly hopes one day to play the market.

For the past three years, Bijou , our most efficient tennis manager, has been entrusted with a wide scope of duties. In moments of exasperation, often have we heard his habitual expres¬ sion, What the deuce! As Pop ' s pet peeve, he undergoes much criticism. If all turns out well, Bijou will be added to the list of practicing physicians.

His favorite entertainment is good music and girls with emphasis upon the latter. Although he is a day student, Timmy claims to work arduously at his studies. By nature he is easily influenced, even if some¬ what obdurate in his opinions. In his entire four years, Timmy has had the privilege of copying the rule book six times.

Jaiie, J}. l ?c ene 309 HAMILTON STREET, WORCESTER, MASS. His affable smile and gentle disposition, heart-warming indeed, will never be forgotten. Among countless incidents exemplifying his procrastinating nature, we will always re¬ member his tardiness in Pop ' s famous compte-rendu . It is a pity that Tass was not born with wings, because he is truly fascinated at the sight of an airplane. Could it be that less has Indian blood in him, being an ardent Cleveland fan. As it is Rene ' s wish to someday practice medecine, it is our wish to see him accomplish his aspirations. Activities: Class Officer 2, Varsity Baseball 2-3-4, Class Basketball 1-2-3-4, Class Baseball 1, Volleyball 3-4, Football Manager 4, Prom Committee 4. Pdrcajl, Ware P. ' Pte 278 PROVIDENCE STREET, PUTNAM, CONN. Pete is the one for whose sake everybody is yelling .... (for Pete ' s sake). When we think of April Fool ' s Day we re¬ member a certain joke that Pete played on a certain Latin professor in our Freshman year. To use a word from our en¬ riched vocabulary (thanks to Mr. Gaucher), Pete is an ardent bibliophile. A non-believer of the old maxim: Seeing is be¬ lieving, Pete goes to the other extreme. Seriously though, Pete is quite persitent in achieving his goal, for he sometimes revises his articles 8 or 9 times (at the request of Father Armand). As Pete leaves his Alma Mater, he plans to study for the priesthood. Activities: Cercle Saint-Jean 1, Dramatics 4, Heritage 4, Memini 4, Varsity Football 1-2-3-4, Track 3-4, Class Basket¬ ball 1-2-3-4, Class Baseball 1-2-3-4, Volleyball 3-4. P ormetf, PaJ 2). 37 COOLIDGE ROAD, WORCESTER, MASS. Every day around the campus we may easily see that Paul is Pius ' s alter ego. Born an actor, Paul has been ad¬ mired in many different roles at Assumption and has acted all with the same perfection. Dude Tormey enjoys to such an extent the atmosphere of farm life on weekends, that here at school he wears his ten-gallon hat and his cowboy boots. Easy-going, casual Paul ambles his way through satire, philosophy, and logic; the point is not that he understands it better than the rest of us — but he surely can speak his way through it all (especially when treating the settlement of Worcester). Activities: Class Officer 2, Librarian 1, Dramatics 3-4, Heritage 3-4, Memini 3-4, Tennis 4, Class Basketball 2-3, Volleyball 1-2-3-4, Debating 2. 42 GROVE STREET, WOONSOCKET, R. I. “V f Vaunore Valmore has the peculiar knack of doing and saying things in the oddest of moments. We ' d call him: Ditto to Seymore . Upon meeting Valmore , we have become so accustomed to hear the same petition: Got a butt? that we have considered dubbing him with that surname. Everybody thought that Yogi Berra was an excellent catcher until the Big Leagues saw Valmore — at any rate that ' s what our All-Star tells us. Did you say that you once operated a steam shovel? Although Valmore is All-American in only one sport, we must credit him as being an above-average athlete in all of them. Activities: Dramatics 4, Varsity Football 3-4, Class Bas¬ ketball 2-3-4, Class Baseball 2-3-4.
