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.

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.

Mindang Peter Brown Prudent,- futuri. Thoiiyhtful of the future. Minda, as he is called for short, plans for the future but acts in the present. In the summer time he can be found somewhere on the Oak Hill Golf Course chasing those fickle little eggs. His favorite sport is skating on the Brown Reservoir, better known to its frequenters as the Mud Hole. This cherished winter resort occupies the larger part of the family's back yard. Happy landings, Mindang! Douglas Homer Buskey Life is but jest; a dream, a doom; a yleam, a gloom. Would it be telling tales to say that Doug was the playboy in the class — and out of the class, also? Perhaps a more serious outlook on life would be somewhat beneficial to him but far be it from us to suggest the idea, for. if it were adopted, there would be no more Doug! Tennis 2, Band 2-3-4. Orchestra 4. George Francis Carney refuse to lose my temper. Serenely and unperturbedly. carrot-topped George makes the above statement and then looks for results. Though appearing to be a hard-boiled truck driver for Chase and Sanborn's Tea and Coffee Warehouse, we know that the hard-boiled angle is all a blufT. This happy-go-lucky youth couldn't get sore if he tried! Football 2. Bruce Lee Carpenter Take the world as it is, not as it ouyht to be. Here comes whistling Bruce Carpenter. Not very active in school affairs, but sh-sh!, you'd never guess what someone told us about him the other day. Despite his apparently level headed coolness, he is quite interested in the fairer sex! But then, to be fair, isn't that a school custom? Tennis 3. Roderick Joseph Casavoy A small coin in a biy jar makes a great noise. If angels don't smoke cigarettes Rod will never be in line to join the heavenly choir. This descendant of the God of Mischief managed to keep his Math, class in a state of perpetual expectancy. Glee Club 2-3, Junior Relay Committee 3, Cheer- leader 3-4. Ruby Louise Chesbrough Have I done my yood deed to-day f Before saying. Now I lay me down to sleep, Ruby asks herself the above question and if she can't give an affirmative answer, she refrains from lying down to sleep. Why? Because she's an ardent mem- ber of the Girl Scouts and conforms to all the rules. Hockey, Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3-4. Lillian ChitofE The glamor of the drama calls her. Like a ray of sun is the delightful laughter of our Lillian, whose ready sympathy and wise counsel can always be depended upon. Pronounced the school's best actress. Lillian has also been awarded honors in the field of diction. Hockey 2, Orchestra, Prize Speaking. Open Meet- ing 2-3-4. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Write-Up Committee, Councillor 4. Class Play 4. Helen Ruth Clace As a mouse is, so am I. When we originally wrote the above we didn't realize what we were letting ourselves in for. The most repeated question has been. Does she really steal cheese as much as that? We innocently meant you to infer from the quotation that Helen was ex- ceptionally quiet! Arlene Evelyn Cleveland Her little tongue is never still. Talk it must and talk it will. Arlene is listed among those of the commercial group who have managed to survive the call-downs in Room 110. difficult though that task may be.. Arlene's mornings are filled with typing for the Con- tinuation School. Hockey 2, Basketball. Volleyball 2-3. Dorothy Louise Cleveland And we're not Siamese t vins! Think what it must be like to have a cousin in the same class in high school with you — one who takes the same courses that you do. has the same teachers that you do. and, to climax the situation, lives in the same house that you do! Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3-4, Write-Up Com- mittee 4.
