Samuel Francis Belluardo He is a man of )iis oivn mtnd. It certainly enlivens a dry shorthand class to have Sam among those present. He is always ready to disagree with anyone over anything. Some think Sam is going to study law, but no one knows. It is often said that history will be made when Sam gives in. Clyde Joseph Bernier A man he seemed of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. Bernie is a big, bashful boy with a big, bashful smile. He wends his way through life with an easy independence that will never hinder his progress. He certainly lives up to the standards of the Hi-Y Club of which he is an officer. Football 2-3. George Storrs Bingham Rhythm is my btisiness. Rhythm is what I sell. From a little boy, Bing has been interested in the theatre until now he has become President of our Dramatic Club! But he has entered upon a new field of diversion now and has interested himself in popular songs, jazz- bands, and fox trots. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Chairman Junior Prom Com- mittee, Assistant Manager of Basketball 3, Chairman of Joke Committee, The Boulder, Class Play 4. Remo John Bonifazi His eyes are flooded with laughter. Beneath those twinkling orbs there is hidden a clever mind which is ever on sentinel duty. Cheerful, friendly, and always ready to accommo- date, Remo's good marks have become a habit with him. How the squad enjoyed his singing in the club house at Crocker Field! Football 4. Leo Ephrem Bordeleau Men of few words are the Vest men. Leo did not participate in high school athletics though he starred for many St. Joseph teams, espe- cially in baseball and basketball. His serious mien and muscular figure stamp him as one to be feared in any profession. Clare Louise Blanchard Come on, now, ' ire a hitj clteer! Since Clare isn t eligible for the football .squad it- self, being a girl, she is content with playing the minor part of cheerleader. And does she do it efficiently! Hockey 2, Glee Club, Cheer Leader 2-3-4, Dra- matic Club 3-4, Councillor 4, Chairman of Junior Class Day Committee. Janet Ann Bourassa She to her friends doth companionship present. We are going to accuse Janet of an extraordinary interest in U. S. History because every fourth period she can be heard anxiously begging for answers to the questions, Did you have a test in History? What did he ask you? Hockey, Basketball 2. Mary Ann Bouvier 'Tis well to see her cheeks with blushes dressed. Ergo, it is always well to see Mary for the ruddy glow of her complexion is never absent. We are willing to agree that this is a sign of enthusiastic, sport-loving youth, for Mary can often be found with- in the walls of Crocker Field. Volleyball 2, Hockey. Basketball 2-3-4. Rita Margaret Brion YoH liave i merry lieart. Rita's ebony hair creates a striking appearance when set off by the brilliant red of which she is so fond. Her dancing eyes and laughing voice, as well as her scholastic ability and able secretarial work for Miss Matson, have done much to make her esteemed. Glee Club 2, Basketball 2-3-4, Dramatic Club 4. Betty Brown A radiant twinkle of the eye, A joyous smile as she passes by. Betty has so many likeable characteristics it is dif- ficult to describe them all. Her happy face and dash- ing smile spread joy into many hearts while her pleasing attire adds greatly to her attractiveness. Bet- ty is a regular patroness of all the Y.M.C.A. social functions. Volleyball, Dramatic Club, Councillor 2, Hockey 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Junior and Senior Reception.

Philip Patrick Ashe Art is his virtue. Walk down Main Street any morning and you will find Phil, sometimes washing windows, or at other times, standing in one of them — not on exhibition by any chance, but placing on the glass his own works of art, in which branch he is remarkably efficient. Clinton Fredrick Barrett I am not by nature who I am by name. Clint strenuously objects to being labeled one of the Barretts of Wimpole Street, modestly stating that the life of a celebrity would not become him. Rather, he prefers to revel in work outside school and do about as he likes inside. Recall that Chem. class Jun- ior year? Russell Rawle Baum There is alivays hope in a man who actually and earnestly wor ks. My driver, no, my putter, caddy! Those are on- ly some of the commands that earnest, bespectacled kuss hears so often during the summer as he caddies at the Oak Hill Country Club; he was very, very busy during the recent State Open held there. Philip Charles Beauvais Youth, how may I retain thee.' Following an arduous week spent in checking birth dates, we are prepared to state that Phil is about the youngest member of the Senior Class, and does he glory in this distinction! However his youth did not prevent him from making a fine showing on our Re- lay Team. Councillor 2, Relay Team 3-4, Track Team, Dra- matic Club 4. Francis Joseph Belliveau If you didn't know it, learn it now. Loyal, honest, sincere, persevering are only a few of the adjectives which Francis' class-mates gladly apply to him. Not only his class-mates but also his teachers verify this statement, which should make you realize what a wealth of truth lies behind it. Mary Esther Baglio My tongue withiyi my lips I rein. For who talks much must talk in vain. Mary is approaching a friend. Let's listen in. Say, Smith, (she never uses first names), did you go to the movies last night? I did, I seldom miss a good one. Oh, I have the words to another popular song — , (Mary's hobby). Ba.sketball, Hockey 2, Glee Club 4. Phyllis Isabelle Batterson Enjoy the present smiling liour, and put it out of fortune's power. A lively, cheerful, friendly girl, Phyl has a con- soling habit of foretelling her intimate friends' futures, concluding with the words, Now I'm telling you, — . Take my word for it and don't worry! Dramatic Club 2-3. Marie Madeleine Bean O smile that glows with friendship. A studious, zealous secretary for the History de- partment, Madeleine's friendly attitude, willing under- standing, and instant sympathy for the difficulties of her friends, have made her a delightful acquaintance. Volleyball, Glee Club, French Club 2, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Debating Club 3-4, French Club, Dance Committee. Dorothy Mildred Beaton There's mischief in this woman. Dot's keen, dark brown eyes reveal her peppy na- ture. We attributed to this young lady a great appre- ciation of good music but, horrors, we observe that she is active in the Glee Club! Now you try to unite that combination because it's just too much for us. Glee Club 3-4, Dramatic Club, Basketball 4. Dorothy Goldie Bever A modest miss is she. It certainly is true that the world knows little of it.s greatest people. We wonder how many of the class of '36 know that Dora is an accomplished guitar player whose splendid voice it is also a pleasure to listen to, especially when she sings in harmony with her sister? Glee Club 2-3.

John Alonzo Bowes Laugh and the ivorld laughs with you. So Johnnie, the big boy of our class, proceeds to set the world laughing. What a splendid soldier he made in the Senior Play at Open Meeting, and did he surprise us at the Major Blow's Program when he de- lighted us with that lovely voice of his! Baseball 2, Basketball 2-3, Football 2-3-4, Track Team 3. Tauno Frederick Braks A-hunting we 'icill go — . First on, first off, first to get a seat on the Gardner bus. If he continues his punctuality, he is sure to suc- ceed. Hunting is his favorite pastime, and Tauno has the hunting grounds in his back yard. Bet the squirrels hate to see him coming! Joseph William Bramante Extry! Extry ! Paper, mister.' The theater crowd knows Joe nearly as well as the early risers. You can always purchase the latest news from him, no matter what the time. Joe is saving his money, too, in order to pay his tuition at college. Bet he doesn't go in the newspaper business, though! Assistant Manager of Basketball and Baseball 3, Manager Baseball Team 4. Samuel John Briguglio A small but mighty man am I. Sammy, or Briggs, as he is best known, is never seen without being heard, for he is always humming, singing, or chattering. Sam has an easy-going, unperturbed manner, and believes nothing is as bad as overstudy. We nominate him leading contender for the title of Class Cut-up. Baseball 2-3, Glee Club 3-4. Dimitre Paul Brown He who gives promptly gives twice. On a bright summer's day, Dimitre, G. B. (Golf Bug), may be found under some one's bag of clubs at a nearby golf link. Between golf and hunting, Mrs. Brown's big boy has very little time for studying how to be president. Well, who wants to be president nowadays, anyway?! Lena Lucy Brunetti A basket, a basket, a basket, girls! Let us introduce to the expectant audience our star woman athlete, a girl whose spirit has kept the class reputation in the sports line on the highest level. We would advise Lena to be more conservative with her lung-power at the football field, for such active exertion is liable to frighten the players. Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball 2-3-4. Grace Evelyn Bryant Life is half spent before we know what it is. Grace is on her way to being a great dressmaker. She even spends her study periods in school finishing up a bit of sewing. Grace is a girl who can make what looks like a $100 wardrobe from the trifling sum of $29.50. Dramatic Club 3. Aili Maria Carlson As good do nothing as to no purpose. The spirit of the new generation is embodied in Aili who, we are frank to admit, is the first girl in this high school to acknowledge an interest in politics. She also does not believe that woman's place is in the home. Debating Club, Dramatic Club 3, Glee Club 4. Florence Mathilda Caron My talents are not all in one direction. Of course it's understood that we just hate to tell tales, but sometimes, you know, discretion is not the better part of valor. Florence actually bakes great birthday cakes for certain members of the faculty and we can guarantee that they are delicious! Hockey 2, Basketball 3. Mary Wilhelmina Cashman They laugh, that win. By careful observation we see that Mary has over- come the cute habit of sucking her thumb while curl- ing a stray lock of unruly hair. How often her quick wit and delightful sense of humor lent gaiety to an otherwise drab occasion! Hockey 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Red and Gray Board, French Club 4.
