BOULDER 1940 Francis William Delea Fortune favors the bold. Francis is a member of the Fitchburg Sportsmans' Club, who enjoys hunting and fishing in neighboring localities. He hopes to serve Uncle Sam as a clerk in the Post Office ; perhaps his hobby of stamp collecting has interested him in this field of work. Robert Ernest DeLorme Silence is one great art of conversation. Robert is a quiet young fellow, who, though silent most of the time, always has a ready smile and a friendly greeting for those who know him. During the afternoon Robert works for a beverage company, making soda. For his future work he intends to study accounting. Ernest Michael DiGeronimo A well-bred man is always sociable and complaisant. Ernie is that rare type of person who can, at the same time, be a good athlete and a high honor student. His recitations warm the cockles of his teachers' hearts, especially in math in which he shines. Nevertheless when he is playing football he is 150 pounds of dynamite in the shape of a fighting full back. Outside of school hours he is employed at DiNinno's Market. He hopes to go to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Football 2, 4, Ring Committee 3, Basketball, Write-up Committee 4.

Lucille Odna Cournoyer An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow. You will remember Lucille by her grand smile and her red hair. You may also remember her through the French Club or the Girl Scouts for she is active in both. Lucille has a collection of toy Scotty dogs. Her ambition is to be a nurse.
