J oseph Willoughby We have reached the stage where our secondary school course is completed. Some of us will go further into the mysteries of learning and others will step out to face the world. We feel, however, that we are prepared to take our next step into life. We have been as well-trained in our religion as in our studies. The realization that life is just beginning does not daunt us because our teachers have instilled in us the desire to get ahead and the ambition to be worthy citizens of this beautiful country. With all this in mind, we know that God will help us. Many boys among us have been standouts during their sojourn here. Raymond Cote, Raymond Loughman, Francis Carrier, James Bolton, Jean Louis Bolduc and Rich- ard Rondeau are noted for their scholastic achievements. ln the field of sports we have such names as Joseph Donahue, Captain of the football team, Martin Cogavin, Roland Martelly, Joseph Perreault and others who have shown themselves to be good, clean and honest sportsmen. The names of these boys have adorned the honor roll as well as the sports column. They are examples of what true Christian fellows should be. They are typical Mount boys. The time has come when we must bid farewell to Mount Saint Charles. We are proud that we have been permitted to attend and graduate from this true Catholic school. We cannot express in mere words the respect, the honor and the love that we hold for our Alma Mater . To the Chaplain and the Brothers, we wish to bestow our sincere but humble appreciation for the many courtesies shown unto us. To the undergraduates, we leave the duty of upholding the honor of our school. May their sojourn here be as pleasant as ours has been. PAUL l-IEFFERNAN 7l 1940

J ames Rogers Secretary ...................... ..... ................ ...................... ....................... G e o r ge Belanger Almost everyone is familiar with the scholastic and athletic achievements of our class. We are all proud of the fact that fifty per cent of the boys have graced the Honor Roll during the year and at least one or more of our fellow-students have been prominent on every athletic team. But since very few are acquainted with their more conspicuous doings, let me take you for a visit through our class on a beautiful Monday morning when our future business men are busily preparing for the big week ahead. There is James Brogie trying to explain to Brother Florian, unsatisfactorily as usual, why he used red ink instead of blue ink in his English work and why he used blue ink instead of red ink in his Bookkeeping work. Grenier and Lemieux are not bothering to close the doors, for the Messrs. Desaulniers and Santanna should make their entrance in about five more minutes. Beauchemin, Caron, and Normandin are still arguing about who pulled the worst l:oner in yesterday's Royals' game. Gregoire has just received the result of last week's English examination and yells out, lt's a gip. Blais wants Turenne to return his English homework pronto. Peppy Jolin is fast asleep as usual. Plante is bewildered to see some boys come in with as many as two books. Ethier, proud of his steady improvement in Bookkeeping, remarks to Bour- get, Boy, am l good! l'm only two thousand dollars out of the way in my last Work Sheet. Biron, who has just noticed that his friend is absent again, wonders what excuse William will have this time. Lavallee should be through with his Commercial Law in a few more minutes. Paul Cayer, straining himself to see what time it is, mut- ters disgustedly, Why don't they make bigger and faster clocks? The OH BOY Gum Company sales sheets should show a terrific decrease this month because Pelo- quin has changed his brand. Andrew Henry is polishing up on his shorthand. Belisle asks Rogers if he has collected a list of words in Literature because Cam always likes to have a model to help him along. Champagne and Belanger have started their little daily discussion which begins exactly at 8:30 and ends promptly at 3 il 5. Poor Mande- ville! He still cannot convince the Brother that too much studying is responsible for his being tired every Monday. RO ND O LA THER UX 19610
