gXCEls 9 E ' 0 . 4 Freshman Class--Classical and Scientific Courses OFFICERS President ........................ ........... E dward Muldoon Vice-President ................ ................. T homas Morris Secretary ........................ ................ L ouis Beauchemin First we make our habits, then they make us. Keeping this quotation in mind, we may form a candid picture of this illustrious freshman class of l94O. Their persistency and sincerity have distinguished them from former freshman groups. lt is apparent, through their record of scholastic and athletic achievements, that they realize how the inculcation of the correct habits now, will alleviate the dreaded last minute work in time to come. The class could be ideally represented scholastically by Cluck Santanna, who has made many an upperclassman look with awe at such an enviable record. Edward Muldoon has also shown considerable ability in studies. Fred Musser ranks high among the leaders. Although they have not been able to participate in varsity sports, the freshmen have displayed splendid talent in the Junior High Sports League. Among the fore- most of these athletes are: Joe Cannon, Fred Sharby, and James Gookin. l n the short months that have intervened since the opening of school in Septem- ber, we have made the acquaintances of some of the most congenial personalities of the academy. A fine example of a friendly, frank lad, is Thomas McManus. After several months of arduous work, these freshmen have attained sufficient knowledge to give their teachers a cause for just pride and to permit the latter to justly promote them to a higher grade.

EXCELS we 'o S 0 a1'Vl'f'C. '-1 Freshman Class- Commercial Course OFFICERS President ........................ ................................. .............................. H e nry Henson Vice-President ................ ............. R aymond O. Robitaille Secretary ................... ............... A lphonse Marcoux I think it proper and fitting that we, the seniors, salute the kids of the busi- ness course, the first year commercial. These boys, under the expert direction of Bro. Louis and Bro. Joseph-Albert, are taught the elementary subjects of the High School course world. These kids , as they are known, are fresh from grammar school, therefore the teachers must double their efforts to break them into the daily routine work of high school. The freshmen at the Mount should consider themselves lucky for they are able to learn the art of typewriting in their very first year, an opportunity available only in the junior year of most schools. The most noted fellows of their groups are Henry Henson, proficient in both French and English, Alphonse Marcoux and Anthony Nardolillo, stellar athletes of Junior High Sports, Frederick Sharby, practically a professional on the piano-accor- dion, Leonard Rousseau, small package of sparkling personality, Eymard Willoughby, argumentative little whipper-snapper, Thomas Mclvlanus, living specimen of joviality, most handsome, and Edmund Robbins, quote, Ninety next time, Brother , unquote. To our Kids we offer our best wishes, and we hope that the class of '44 will follow in the footsteps of our intellectualists and our athletes. GERARD MENARD 87 1940
