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

EXCEL 2 U Sl 9 0 0 .Junior Class--Commercial Course OFFICERS President ...................... ............... G erard Roberts Vice-President .............. ................. L eo McDuff Secretary ........... , .... ..., .... ,.....Wilfrid Cote Among the three Junior classes in the school, the Junior Class Commercial deserves special mention for its achievements both in scholastic and athletic ability. The Junior commercial class leads the other Junior classes, by placing the three first students on the Honor Roll in the exams. Under the capable direction of both Brother Henry and Brother Alvarez, the boys have certainly progressed. Three prominent members of the Rhode Island State Hockey Team came from this class, Marcel Pilon, Roland Lemire and Marcel Bessette. ln basketball they were represented by Captain Walter McPherson, who was given honorable mention on the Rhode Island State Schoolboy basketball team for Class B. Robert Dusablon was elected Football Captain for next year. Walter McPherson and Robert Dusablon are also counted upon by the baseball fans to place the Mount on top of Class B. The city of Manville, should we say the borough of Woonsocket, had the largest representation in this class, Roger Roy, Lucien Peloquin, Gerard Roberts were luminar- ies of that city in the examinations. Without fail, we must say that Brother Henry, who hails from that borough, finds it natural that bright boys come from there. JAMES BROGIE 77 1940
