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

J o hn Carr Vice-President ............. ............... L eon Allard Secretary ............... Q ............................... . ............................ ,. ..... , .... , ..... James Munson This group of fair-looking students will soon replace us and assume our respon- sibilities as dignified seniors. During this school-year, they have contributed many athletes in the different sports activities, their name has flown quarterly on the banners of honor, they have respected us and they displayed a fine spirit for the Alma Mater. The senior class of '40 will long remember them for their typical habits. We will long visualize the optimistic Toupin-Myette team, we will listen to the echoes of the low sonorous voice of Bob Carignan, the gay songs of Bob Boudreau, we will listen to the famous debating pair, Raymond Linton and Leon Allard, we will overlook the size Of. Mike Vanasse, we definitely will approve the romance of Charlie Allard, we will all look forward to the generous smile of Tommy DeSisto. On the field of sports: Marcel Peloquin, Johnny Carr, Jules Guy, William Heffernan and Johnny McNamara were distinguished players on the hopeful varsity baseball team. The Junior Varsity hockey team was represented by Russ Ethier, Marcel Peloquin, and Ray Frost, these boys appear as promising prospects for Brother Adelard's varsity hockey team. ln the first quarterly exams, Charles Allard, Omer l-loule, Christopher Sullivan, John Carr and Marcel Peloquin ranked the highest. The second quarterly exams found James Munson on top followed by Allard, l-loule, Peloquin and Sullivan. -The third quarter results finished with l-loule, Munson and Carr tied for first place, with Sullivan and Tommy DeSisto close behind. Other outstanding class members were: William Duffy, the nervy New Jerseyite, the famous Mousseau brothers, Fran and John, Dick Mulligan, a bright basketball prospect, Leo Dubuc, who earned his sweater and letter on the football team, and Walter Morris, the persistent pupil from Wellesley, Mass. Jack Mahoney tried hard to make the ball. team this year but needs another season of conditioning in Bro. Elisee's minor league loop. John McAuliffe was a Junior Varsity basketball player, an intramural baseball and football star, besides being a member of the Altar Boys' society. Farewell, Juniors, you have worthy reasons to be proud of your group, we know you will spread the Mount's reputation far and wide. RICHARD RONDEAU 75 1940
