The BO LI LI) Eh, 1952 DOROTHY LOUISE BEAUREGARD Quietness is best. Dot is one of our few quiet, studious girls. She is a girl of varied abilities, art being foremost among these. She has displayed this artistic talent many times while doing excellent work for school func- tions. She has gained many friends during her school years at F. H. S. and due to her wonderful personality will never be without them. Dramatic Club 4 ; Glee Club 2, 4 ; Junior-Senior Reception 3 ; Thanks- giving Dance Committee 4; Competitive Play 4. RICHARD ALBERT BEGIN .4 little mischief now and then Is relished by the best of men. A dark-haired lad, Dick is a South Sider, but refuses to admit it. He has more than an interest in shoe-repairing for he helps his grand- father in this line. During apple season he may be seen picking apples at Marshall's. He does both of these jobs well. An all around good fellow is Dick, and quite likely to make his way without difficulty. VINCENT GEORGE BELAIR Those of few words are the best. Vincent is known to most of his classmates as Vinnie. He has a quiet kindly way that has gathered in a good supply of friends. Vinnie is an enthusiastic sports fan, keen about motorcycle riding and racing. This handsome lad is responsible for many a broken heart. Vinnie spends most of his time after school working for his father, with whom he will perhaps enter business. Tennis 2. GLORIA MARY BELLABARBA Who says little, has little to answer for. Through her quiet and friendly manner, Gloria has made a lasting impression and won her way right to our hearts. Her pleasing smile and dark eyes, combined with her numerous nice qualities, have capti- vated us for always. We don't know her destination after graduation, but we know her efforts to make a success of herself are not in vain. BERNARD SYDNEY BERGMAN All things come to him who stands and waits. Bernie is one of our best athletes, participating in football, basket- ball and baseball. He has many friends and can often be seen with a host of them. He can be distinguished from his friends by his special stride in walking. Our best wishes go to one of our interesting class- mates.
