Conscious of this fact, we have in preparing this book for publication, ever kept in mind our motive—to express appreciation and thanks to those who have so generously and carefully watched and guided our progress during the past four years. Prominent among them stand our beloved Pastor, Monsignor Donnelly, our kind Principal, Reverend Father Martin, our devoted Teachers, the Sisters of the Presentation, and our self-sacrificing Parents. With this end in view we have accomplished the work, and hope that the spirit of gratitude which permeates each page may impress itself upon all who read this, the third issue of the Bernardian.

Each year as we journey life's highway, Where all seems so pleasant and gay, How oft will we quote our class motto, While seeking some light for our way; And now, Alma Mater, we linger To ponder your teachings so true, Forever we'll strive to be faithful And loyal, St. Bernard's, to you. Words by Anna T. McCann Music by Marte C. L’Ecuyer Class of 1931 RUTH MARY ATKINSON ALFRED MICHAEL BEAUDOIN RITA LORETTA BEAUDOIN ANTOINETTE HELEN BLAIS CECILE MARY BOUDREAU CHARLES IRVING BREAU MARY LOUISE BURNS CATHERINE ELIZABETH CARNEY JOHN WILLIAM CARPENTER MARY MARGARET CARROLL JOHN JOSEPH CAULFIELD MARY CARMELA COLELLO PHILIP FRANCIS CONNORS LOUISE BERNICE CORLISS PAUL FRANCIS CUNNINGHAM DOROTHY MARIE CYR HELEN ELIZABETH DOHENY MARGARET RUTH DONLAN ANNA TERESA DUNLEAVY JAMES WALTER EARLEY RACHAEL ELEANOR ENRIGHT WILLIAM EDWARD FOHY PAUL THEODORE GONVILLE CATHERINE ELEANOR HAGERTY ARNOLD GERARD HALEY JOHN THOMAS HALEY WILLIAM CHARLES HERRICK CATHERINE MADELEINE HUGHES JOHN BERNARD HUNT PAULINE FRANCES IDE BERNARD MARTIN KEAVENEY CATHERINE ANNE KELLY JOSEPH FREDERICK KINSEY HELEN RUTH KITTREDGE MARIE CECILIA L’ECUYER HELEN ELIZABETH L’ESPERANCE EDWARD GILES LYNCH ANNA THECLA MCCANN JOHN BERNARD MACMILLAN JOHN DALY MCCARTHY DOUGLAS PAUL MCCARTY LEO BERNARD MCDERMOTT BERNARD WILLIAM MORAN CATHERINE ANNA MORAN MICHAEL EDMOND O'CONNOR JOSEPHINE LAURA O'LEARY ANTHONY JOSEPH Posco JOHN PATRICK REGAN EDNA IDA RIVERS BERNARDETTE MARY ROUSSEAU JOHN ANTHONY SACINO ANNA DOLORES SEBOSKI GRACE FRANCES STANTON MARY GERTRUDE WALSH MARY MAGDALENE WARD EDWARD GILES LYNCH Ay. every inch a king. —Shakespeare Ed, the president of our class, has executed his duties most efficiently since his election in our Junior year. He is very popular with the student body and the faculty. When it comes to good fellows, ‘‘Giles’’ is first in line. His marks show that he likes his studies but he also finds time for athletics since he played en our football and baseball teams. His ability on the stage has secured for him an enviable position in the Literary Club and the Debating Team. He has appeared in all our school plays and contributed greatly to their success. Giles plans to continue his studies at Normal School and we know his magnetic personality will make him a capable teacher. Good luck, Giles, we won't forget you. 6- —P— WUIRTUS CORONA VITARS 8 — MARY LOUISE BURNS A mother’s pride, a father’s joy. —Scott We are all proud in presenting Mary, our vice-president. The class cer- tainly made a good choice and has enjoyed the reward and satisfaction of the efficient service which Mary has rendered. She is one of the most popular girls in the school and certainly is a live wire. Usually in the midst of a happy throng you will find her. Her name has graced the High Honor Roll many times in the past four years. Burnsie’s dramatic power was well displayed in the “‘Auto- matic Butler’’ and ‘‘Cat O’ Nine Tails’ and we realize that the Dramatic Club of St. Bernard’s is losing in Mary a member whose place will not easily be filled. Trusting that college days will be as happy as those spent in high school, we all take leave of Mary with earnest wishes for her future success. eS oe Se ne eS TES = u 2 SS SS ae “eye | en ee eee | 8 3] me aaa iaJi —_ ‘ SB — HIRTUS CORONA VITA ANNA THECLA McCANN Genteel in personage Conduct and equipage, Noble by heritage, Generous and free. -—Carey “Ab, for thirty days!’’ This has been set down as Anna’s favorite expression. Why? We do not know. As our class secretary Anna has served us efficiently for two years. She has always done good work in her studies and at the same time is known to be lively, witty, and full of fun. We will not easily forget her as Mary Casey in ““Turning the Trick,’’ nor as Kitty Preston in the “Automatic Butler,’’ nor again, as Mrs. Gordon in “‘Cat O’ Nine Tails.” Society is her aim, in plays only, of course. In September Anna intends to enter St. Vincent Training School for Nurses, and as she departs for her new scene of labor, she carries the best wishes of the members of the Class of Thirty-one. o PUTS.

Ea JOHN THOMAS HALEY Il vaut son pesan d'or. —Grosjean The Class of '31 has much trust in Tee Dee, since he has been guarding the money bags for two years, and what a splendid treasurer he has made! We all agree that John is a peer of good fellowship, first as a gentleman and then as an athlete. His great ideal is journalism and he plans to enter Boston Univer- sity in the fall. In preparation for his new work he has secured invaluable experience in the office of Brockelman’s store where we have learned that his winning personality has won for him many friends. Once more, Tee Dee, we want you to know of our heartfelt gratitude for your excellent services as a class officer, and associate editor of the Bernardian, and you take the best wishes of all with you to college next fall. ee — —-- = y Ul i Sa-—_ or oo ] val ae 4 3 WAAL ‘ 5 US CUF ———— x SS RUTH MARY ATKINSON Let me be blessed for the peace I make. —Shakespeare “Ruthie, let me take your pen” and faith- ful, quiet Ruth is ever ready to grant the favor. As willing as she is to show kindness to her schoolmates she is equally prepared to recite at class, and always submits neatly arranged papers. Her work as an artist is of high value, and who of us would not have ctr picture drawn by Ruth? We are in doubt as to her future, but we hope she will not neglect to develop her talent for drawing. ALFRED MICHAEL BEAUDOIN His smile is sweetened by his gravity. —Eliot Freddy certainly has made plenty of friends since coming to us from Assumption College in his Sophomore year. He was a flashy back on the Football Team back in ’29 and ’30. Freddy takes the Classical Course and we wish him every success when he continues his studies at Holy Cross. Sas VITAE See ror a = eR. , } Ct) —. e g ne a He RITA LORETTA BEAUDOIN Grace was tn all her steps, Heaven in her eye, In every gesture, dignity and love. Milton Rita joined our ranks as a Sophomore, and soon won the friendship of everyone because of her gay and winsome disposition. Her work on the Bernardian has been exception- ally good, and she will retain a warm spot in the hearts of all of us. Rita plans to continue her studies at Boston University and the Class of Thirty-one joins in wishing her success. ANTOINETTE HELEN BLAIS She does well, acts nobly, Angels could do no more. —Young Antoinette comes from the sunny South Side; and she certainly shows evidence of it by the genial warmth of sunshine that al- ways seems to cling about her person. Her work is ever quietly, neatly, and efficiently done. So faithfully and earnestly has she pur- sued her course during four years that it al- most seems useless to extend wishes for suc- cess in the future. CHARLES IRVING BREAU CECILE MARY BOUDREAU What eer she did was done, with so much ease, In her alone ‘twas natural to please. —Dryden Cecile is one of our Leominster pupils and in spite of the distance makes the first bell every morning. Upon her coming she won the admiration and esteem of both her teach- ers and schoolmates. ‘‘Skipper,’’ as she is known, intends to follow a business career and we know that her earnestness will bring her much success. He does not come in my books. —Beaumont and Fletcher Carlos, a member of the famed Walton A. C., comes from the South Side and is al- ways seen with either Bun, Mike or young Coly. Carlos, at times, is at odds with his studies; but for the most part treads his way without need of being checked up. Dame Fortune is smilingly beckoning him forward, and we know with his nonchalant disposi- tion he will advance and seize a worth-while opportunity. @UIRTUS CORONA VITAES CATHERINE ELIZABETH CARNEY My mind to me a kingdom ts. —Dyer “What fun can we stir up next?’ Cath- erine is always there when it comes to enjoy- ment and pleasure. She is a great favorite with all the pupils and if smiles do win, she will never lose. Catherine’s work in the Com- mercial line is of high quality and we all wish her the best of luck as a secretary of note. JOHN WILLIAM CARPENTER Rich tn saving common sense. —Tennyson Crash! bang! bang! What is that, a tor- nado? No, only Rip Carpenter coming into Shorthand Class. Oh! does he like Shorthand? Sliliscayeso. = ship: takes;the 45 car from West Fitchburg every morning and is always on time since he believes haste makes waste. His model is Cicero and during a Senior Assembly Program he showed the school his ability as an orator of no small degree. Good luck, Rip. MARY MARGARET CARROLL She was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will and yet was never loud. —Shakespeare The better we know Mary the more we like her. Her ready smile and genial disposi- tion have made her the friend of all. During our four years she brightened our way with her cheerfulness and often lent a helping hand that meant a great deal. As she tripped quiet- ly down from the South Side she was ever on time and her pleasant “Good Morning”’ will be missed for a long time to come. Best wishes, Mary, for success and a happy future. JOHN JOSEPH CAULFIELD Charm strikes the sight, but mertt wins the soul. —Pope Here is a model student, since Coddy’s name frequently appears on the High Honor Roll. He has great ability as a debater and was a member of the team that represented St. Bernard’s High at Sacred Heart Academy, Worcester. Basket ball seems to be his favorite sport as he has been a varsity guard for three years. He has a four-year Classical founda- tion to his credit, and we hope he will meet with success at Holy Cross as he did at St. Bernard’s. 6 —P— SUIRTUS CORUNA UITAES 8 MARY CARMELA COLELLO Wise to resolve, and patient to perform. —Pope “Pep” is her middle name. When Mary is serious be assured that something terrible has happened. When it comes to studies, however, Mary is no shirker as her marks indicate. Her proficiency along the Commercial line will unquestionably enable her to win a lucrative and responsible position in the near future. The entire Senior class offers Mary its sin- cere wishes for a bright and _ prosperous career. PHILIP FRANCIS CONNORS Sweet are the thoughts that savor of content. —Green “Red” is always ready for fun, and his most intimate pal is ‘‘Squabsie.’’ He showed his mettle this year by getting his name on the Honor Roll. Fun and studies, however, step aside for athletics, as he is one of the best athletes in the school. He has upheld S. B. H. S. on the pitching mound for four years, played the back field in our Interclass Tournament, and was a forward on the school Basket Ball Five. As your motto, Phil. is ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you,”’ we hope you will keep it up in the future. ah _ 3 Ya, —¥F Z bw = a bras b —P—=IRTUS CORONA UITARS = 5 LOUISE BERNICE CORLISS All things are ready tf our minds be so. —Shakespeare. When it comes to acting who can beat Louise? Whether it be in the role of leading lady or not, Louise has always excelled. Her acting has never interfered with her school work, however, and one can always depend on Louise’s recitations. She is very popular among her classmates and we all trust that her future will be as happily spent as her school days at St. Bernard’s. PAUL FRANCIS CUNNINGHAM They're truly great who are truly good. —Chapman Paul is one of the few quiet boys in the class. He just delights in mechanical draw- ing and some day we expect to see him making great use of his talent. Among his other studies English seems to be his favorite in which his faithful application is height- ened by an unusual supply of originality and power of expression. With such ability Paul ought in future years make illustrious the Class of ’°31. With reluctance we say ‘‘fare- Welle haul, guia, {es 6- —— IRTUS CORONA VITAES= 8 DOROTHY MARIE CYR She thinks most good and speaks least ill of her neighbor. —Sheridan. Dot hails from Worcester and rain or shine she is always present. She is another lively member of the class and certainly has no great aversion to fun and mischief. She in- tends to be a stenographer and has our best wishes for a successful career. HELEN ELIZABETH DOHENY Victory follows me, and all things follow victory. —Scudere Helen is one of the quiet but efficient mem- bers of the class. She never has much to say, but her actions testify her ability. ““Doc’’ was our cheer leader for two years, and how she led us! In the ‘Nifty Shoppe’’ she was a model and a good one. Her success as a photographer may be gathered from the sn aps found in the year book. Accept our sincere wishes, Helen, for a happy future. gh e—=wUIRTUS CORUNA UITAES MARGARET RUTH DONLAN Nothing introduces a heroine like soft music. —Sheridan “Where's Margaret?’ “With Mary.” These two are inseparable. “‘Peg,”’ our pianist will be sadly missed by the remaining mem- bers of the orchestra as well as by the mem- bers of her class. Her name is no stranger to the High Honor Roll and her untiring work greatly helped toward the success of the year book. Margaret’s work at college, we trust, will be equally as good as that which ANNA TERESA DUNLEAVY The noblest mind the best contentment has. —Dryden Anna has proved herself an earnest student of the Classical Department. Her outstanding subjects are Latin and History. She is going to Normal School and we think that the object of her goal is to become a teacher of History. We wish you every success, Anna, in your career. she has produced in high school. VIRTUS CORUNA VITAES JAMES WALTER EARLEY Variety 1s the mother of enjoyment. —Disraeli “Jubal’’ is the name by which he is known among his classmates and we think that if his parents and teachers did not call him James he would soon forget it. ‘‘Jubal’”’ played guard on the Senior football team and showed us his ability to play the game by holding his side of the line like a stone- wall. He plans to enter Normal School in the fall and some day when he is a famous teacher we hope that he will look back and think of his classmates of °31. ELEANOR RACHAEL ENRIGHT Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind. ——Pope “Rachy”’ is a friend to everyone. We think she acquired her sunny disposition because she comes from the sunny South Side. In studies Rachael is one of the first, especially in English. She appeared in the ‘Nifty Shoppe”’ as a model and was a great success, and we trust that her success will steadily in- crease with the passing of years. 193] Oo rs WILLIAM EDWARD FOHY I am monarch of all I survey My right there is none to dispute. —Cowper “Skinney,”’ “Willie,” or “Malachy” as he is known to his chums, is very popular with the whole school and was captain of our Baseball Team in his Senior year. During his summer vacation he was behind the bat for the champion East Siders. Although base- ball is his first love he has worked diligently on the basket ball squad. We hope some day to hear that “‘Skinney”’ is in the big league and we wish him loads of luck. PAUL THEODORE GONVILLE Wise, steadfast in the strength of God, and true. —Lowell. Leominster should take pride in Paul as a resident as we take pride in him as a class- mate. He has a wonderfully quiet and gentle manner except when in a debate, when he shows the force within. Since he is an excep- tional student in the Commercial Course, we are certain he will be a leading figure in the business world. Best of luck, Paul. CATHERINE ELEANOR HAGERTY The sum of earthly bliss. —Milton Kiki is a splendid type of school girl, ever ready to co-operate and to do her share toward upholding the high ideals of the Senior class. Fun has a great part in her life and helps to endear her to the members of her class. We all hope that she will continue her good work long after she has left us, and that her future will be a bright and happy one. ARNOLD GERARD HALEY All we have willed, or hoped, or dreamed of good shall exist. Not tts semblance, but itself. —Browning Arnold is another Leominsterite. He has certainly been loyal to St. Bernard's, span- ning the distance between Leominster and Fitchburg faithfully through the past four years. Arnold’s future plans tend toward aviation. That’s right, Arnold, always aspire toward the heights and we wish you hangars of luck. 5 —P—=-IRTUS CORONA UITAES 4 —— WILLIAM CHARLES HERRICK We arrive at virtue by taking tts direction. —Emerson Large bodies certainly move slowly, judg- ing from Bill's speed in navigation. You can always recognize Bill by the lack of a hat as he evidently belongs to the fresh air advo- cates. As manager of our basket ball and base- ball squads for two years he certainly con- tributed to their success. He is undecided about his future but all trust that he will be CATHERINE MADELEINE HUGHES Diffused knowledge tmmortalizes itself. —RMackintosh “‘Hughsie”’ without doubt will be a diplo- mat some day. “If you don’t understand, ask,’’ is Madeleine’s frequent assertion and she certainly makes steady work of it. She generally keeps the teachers busy answering her questions, but then, who cares to look up a reference book? Madeleine is well liked by the class and ranks high in her studies, especially in Mathematics. We wish her every success at Fitchburg Normal. successful, JOHN BERNARD HUNT The true strong mind ts the mind that can embrace equally great things and small. —Johnson John is probably one of the most indus- trious boys in the class and is, they say, al- most a personal acquaintance of Virgil. He breaks his usual silence in recitation and he certainly does break it. He is an ardent lover of athletics, having played three years on the baseball team and helped Coach Roberts’ squad by his faithful service. John plans to spend his next four years at Holy Cross, and we hope that the college will be as happy to receive him as we are sorry to lose him. PAULINE FRANCES IDE Brevity ts a great praise of eloquence. —Cicero Polly is a very studious girl and she cer- tainly knows when to be silent and when to talk. Specializing in the Commercial subjects she has become quite an adept in typewriting. We hope that her sunny disposition will carry her successfully through life. [o —e—=eURTUS CORONA VITAE So = BERNARD MARTIN KEAVENEY His words like so many nimble servitors trip about him at his command. —Milton Bernard is another of the boys from Waites Corner and in spite of that fact he is always on time for school—thanks to the F. L. He is a very good debater and is usually hard at work preparing arguments. The fact that he does not belong to the athletic teams does not prevent him from being an ardent sup- porter, for it would have to be a very stormy night to make Bernard miss a basket ball game. Every member of the class extends heartiest wishes for a happy future, Bernard. CATHERINE ANNE KELLY Gentleness, Virtue, Wisdom and Endurance These are the seals— —Shelley Catherine is a member of the Senior Com- mercial Department where her excellent work in her studies has secured for her the dis- tinction of an Honor Roll student. We know that Catherine will be a success in the busi- ness world and this is the wish of the Senior class who found her quiet, pleasing disposi- tion a great asset all through the four years of high school. oa RTS CR WI iad JOSEPH FREDERICK KINSEY A qutxotic sense of the honorable. Po e “Leominster is my home town and not such a bad place at that.’’ The above quota- tion is frequently uttered by Joe, for he cer- tainly is loyal to Leominster. He appreciates a good school, however, and that is why he comes all the way to attend ours. He stands out pre-eminently for his readiness and will- ingness to help out about the school. He plans some day to be a great architect and he has our sincere wishes for success. HELEN RUTH KITTREDGE As merry as the day ts long. —Shakespeare “Kitty” is what we call her. When it comes to skating she certainly carries off the trophy. Helen is good-natured and always smiling. “Worry? Why Worry?” says Helen. “Tt never does any good anyway.”’ Her weak- ness is Spanish and how she speaks it! Good- bye, Helen, and don’t forget the Spanish class. MARIE CECILIA L’ECUYER Her best companions Innocence and books. —Goldsmith Marte is also a member of the merry group of South Siders. She specializes in the. Secre- tarial studies and is an Al pupil. Her ability as a pianist and organist is well known, for Marie’s spare moments are usually taken up with either the piano or organ. She is very quiet and demure and evidently follows the rule of being seen, not heard. All hope the future will bring her much joy and happiness HELEN ELIZABETH L’ESPERANCE Young m limbs, in judgment old. —Shakespeare If it were not for Helen’s recitations one would never know that she was in the room. Her pleasing disposition and her ability to meet every situation have won for her the love of all her schoolmates. We all know her worth as an artist and her contributions to this book have, no doubt, had a great part in making it a success. Good luck, Helen, we are all with you. as an organist of note. 6 —P— IRTUS CORUNA UITAES a= JOHN BERNARD MACMILLAN A town that boasts inhabitants like me Can have no lack of good soctety. —Longfeliow “Maxie” is one of the leaders in the merry element of our class, but nevertheless finds time for his books since he is one of the charter members of the Spantsh class. After school hours ‘‘Maxie’’ divides his time be- tween study and work, in the latter of which he has distinguished himself by his ability and ready willingness to oblige. What the future has in store is as yet withheld, for as ‘“‘Maxie”’ himself says he hasn’t decided whether he will put the public out of business or not. JOHN DALY MCCARTHY His deeds tnimitable like the sea. —Chapman John takes pride in being the only boy in our class who can claim the ‘“‘Knickerbocker State’’ as his birthplace. We had the pleasure of welcoming him into our class at the com- mencement of our Sophomore year when he came from De Witt Clinton High. His quiet, unassuming personality has made him a host of friends and his faithful service as business manager has undoubtedly brought success to this edition of the Bernardian. His unremit- ting application to study has prevented his participation in athletics, although he has been an ardent rooter with an almost perfect record of attendance at our basket ball games. We extend to John best wishes for a happy and successful college career. Qs Re 193| C6 @ No oe, N=: : aT, DOUGLAS PAUL MCCARTY He’s armed without that ts innocent within -—Pope It is said that the chief reason for the success of a very fine store in the city is Douglas, for in his spare time he labers there most industriously. In his career as a student he has quite a remarkable record which is the result of his serious application to duty. In the future we hope to hear of Doug as a great salesman in one of the great business concerns of our country. LEO BERNARD MCDERMOTT As a wit, tf not first, tn the very first line. —Goldsmith Here's P-E-P himself. Mack certainly be- lieves that a laugh a day keeps the undertaker away. He doesn’t exactly love his books but no mathematical example can be found that is too difficult for Leo. He is noted for his per- petual smile even when the joy of a session confronts him. Always keep your smile, Mack, and the class smiles with you. B — — eYIRTUS CURUN BERNARD WILLIAM MORAN God bless the man who tnvented sleep. =—Saxe Bun can be seen hastening to school every morning and arcives there about two minutes before the bell, if he is early. He likes his studies, especially Spanish, but when it comes to basket ball we find Bun a shark, and under his leadership St. Bernard’s certainly made a splendid record in basket ball. He also played on the Baseball Team for three years and helped to make it a success. Keep smiling, Bun, during the future as you have done in the past. CATHERINE ANNA MORAN Humbleness ts always grace, always dignity. —Lowell “Cassie’’ is also a member of the illustrious Class of Thirty-one. As a student of the Com- mercial Course she makes a very good stenographer and we all feel that she will have no difficulty in securing a position. Catherine is another of the popular and well liked members of the class because of her genial and obliging disposition. We wish her success in the years to come and we trust that either as bookkeeper or typist her splen- did work will bring great credit to St. Ber- nard’s High. [o =e —=IRTUS CORONA UTA SOF MICHAEL EDMOND O'CONNOR Magnificent spectacle of human happiness. —Smith Mike represents the brawn and muscle of our class (not forgetting the wisdom). He is one of the best athletes of the school, star- ring in basket ball, football, and baseball. He is also one of Bun Moran's best pals, which probably accounts for his frequent presence during fun and enjoyment. Never- theless. Mike is the chum of the whole school and although he hasn’t made plans for the future he has our offerings for just ‘‘shoes”’ of luck. JOSEPHINE LAURA O’LEARY Today whatever may annoy, The word for me ts joy, just stmple joy. —Bangs Jo, a diminutive young miss, is certainly full of fun and frolic, and can raise a greater rumpus than the rest of us together. Jo and the Honor Roll are very good friends in spite of all the mirth. She is very popular through- out the school and although she never exerts herself to be in school on time, she gets there just the same. Good luck, Jo, St. Ber- nard’s will miss your mischief and fun. a [2 —P——WIRTUS CORONA VITAE = ] ANTHONY JOSEPH Posco As a strong bird on pintons free. —Walt Whitman Anthony comes all the way from Water Street. Tony, as he is known to his class- mates, is very small but as the old saying goes that good things come in small pack- ages, we can see the evidence of it in An- thony’s case. He liked English very much and had great ability to give oral talks. (?) Here's hoping you will not forget your talent in English, Tony. JOHN PATRICK REGAN There ts no wisdom Itke frankness. —Disraeli Reagie comes from Tar Hill, arriving every morning in school about 8:10. With quiet and consistent application he has passed a creditable career for four years which cer- tainly ought to spell success for him in the future. Reagie was also a valuable asset to Coach Roberts’ team and helped many a time to win a victory for St. Bernard’s. He intends to continue his studies next year and we offer our best wishes for success in his chosen profession. | o —P—=-IRTUS CORONA UITAES 9 ——— 5 EDNA IDA RIVERS Be silent and safe Silence never betrays you. Sy ABO Rely Edna comes from the big city of Town- send, and if you cannot find it on the map, don’t blame Edna. She drives to school every morning and is seldom late. In studies she is always ready, whether it be Spanish or Eng- lish. Edna is headed for Training School where her earnestness and fidelity to duty will win for her a worthy position in the pro- fessional field of nursing. BERNADETTE MARY ROUSSEAU Virtue ts ltke a rich stone, Best plain set. —Bacon ‘Bernie’ like Catherine, her chum, is very quiet and has little to say; -Eut when it comes to lessons she seldom lets an opportunity of reciting slip by. ‘Bernie,’ with her beaming countenance softened by the depth of her great brown eyes, has added much to the happiness of the class, especially when things went wrong. She is going to be a nurse and we know her patients will never suffer from lack of care. 6 —P— HIRTUS CORON A VITAE JOHN ANTHONY SACINO Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony. —Lamb Here he is; the Mayor of Water Street. Better still the Mayor of Room 5. Johnny is the proud possessor of an agreeable disposi- tion. Very seldom does he become angry, an excellent trait in anyone. Moreover, this young man enjoys pleasure about the best of anyone in the class as many of us can declare. Johnny has often a great battle with old man Sleep but, nevertheless, he comes to school and is usually on time. ‘‘Squabs’’ intends to continue his studies, but if he doesn't we all say ‘Stick to your trade, Johnny, and we will all die some day.” ANNA DELORES SEBOSKI From the crown of her head to the sole of her foot She ts all murth. —Shakespeare. We all know who that petite young lady in the corner seat of Room 5 is. Anna cer- tainly has an abundance of energy which she gene rously exerts for the enjoyment of her classmates at the 11:45 recess. As a member of the school she is very popular, and goes to take up the work of training to be a nurse with the best wishes of the Class of Thirty- one. IRTUS CORUNA UIT GRACE FRANCES STANTON Laugh if you are wise. —RMartial “Honey” is her nickname and a more suitable one could not be found. Although she is small, she usually succeeds in making herself heard, and her coming 1s generally known in advance. Grace was one of the most faithful rooters at all the basket ball games of the season, and could always be seen cheering enthusiastically for St. Bernard’s. As for Grace’s future we know that her loyalty will go far in making her life a happy one. MARY GERTRUDE WALSH Defer not till tomorrow to be wise. Tomorrow’s sun for thee may never rise. —Congreve The above quotation is indeed applicable in the case of Mary, for she is ever seen alert and attending to duty, and consequently she is ever found prepared when it is a question of studies. She is another member of the Commercial Department and her name is often found on the High Honor Roll. Mary is yet undecided as to whether she will be a commercial teacher or a private secretary; but we need not worry, for we know she will be a success in whatever field she labors. =e o —P—=-IRTUS CORONA VITAES MARY MAGDALENE WARD The fatr, the chaste, the unexpresstve she. —Shakespeare Mary’s chief characteristic is modesty. ‘‘I should be seen and not heard,’’ seems to be on her lips continually, and what goes hand in hand with such excellence is the fact that she is a pupil of good rating. Everyone ad- mires Mary for her simplicity, as well as for her willingness to do her share when the occasion demands, and it is with sincere re- gret that we all bid her adieu. rr | KV FEE DT Se NO UITAES ett Se SS ee GLASS OF 1932 CLASS HISTORY Class History Once there bloomed a lovely garden of roses of every hue in pink, and white, and crimson, such as only the marvelous skill of the divine Master could form. Year after year they blossomed and grew beautiful under the warmth and splendor of God’s sun, and long after their season had passed, the memory of their delightful fragrance was a source of pleasure especially in the dull and dreary days that usher in old winter. At length, in the course of time, the unsparing hand of passing years made no exception even in the case of those exquisite flowers; and one day, on the spot where the varied colors blended so harmoniously, a majestic building raised its lofty heights to the deep blue vault of Heaven. Beautiful as was the symmetry and grace of every arch and pillar some hearts were sad at the loss of the roses— a loss irreparable for so they thought. On a glorious morning in September, 1927, the golden rays of sunlight sought the garden with its roses: but instead fell upon the noble walls of the new St. Bernard High School which was to become, at the request of our Right Reverend Bishop, a central high school for Fitchburg and the surrounding district. Soon a troop of merry school folk trudged up the steps that led to the new seat of learning, and with beaming countenances took their places in class- rooms that the scholars of old might well indeed envy, were it in their power. Quickly and speedily the days flew by——happy days they were—as only the school life of youth can be. Soon the dignity of the Freshmen caused them to lose their identity as the babies of the school, but they were ever ready and proud to declare their unique privilege of being the first Freshman class to commence its career in the beautiful new high school. Report cards were the first novelty to thrill the young, eager hearts, and up to the Senior year they never lost their charm, although at times the thrill they occasioned might well be called a pang of remorse. The outstanding event, 6 —P——@IRTUS CORONA VITAE however, in the Freshman year of these fortunate students, was unquestionably the dedication of the new building by Right Reverend Bishop O'Leary. It was on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in early October that the eventful ceremony took place, and Heaven seemed to lend its loveliness to enhance the grandeur of the occasion. How jubilantly the Class of Thirty-one looked on as the Bishop. attired in his episcopal robes and followed by a procession of surpliced clergy passed from room to room invoking the special protection of God on their Alma Mater. With the advent of Sophomore year, in due course of importance occurred assembly programs, plays, basket ball and baseball games. The Sophomores were proud to have their ranks represented in Father Featherstone’s excellent play “Turning the Trick,’’ and in various other performances given at the assemblies. Athletics, too, claimed representatives from them, and it was with greatest pleasure that they watched the marked progress of their classmates in the gym, and on the diamond. As Junior year drew nigh a realization of their growing dignity became evident, and with the election of class officers they set to work in order to win the distinction of being the best class to ever graduate from St. Bernard’s. With their eyes always fixed toward the goal, they enjoyed the various activities of the year, even the grand privilege of seeing their beloved Pastor raised to the rank of Monsignor. How they rejoiced in that never-to-be-forgotten event only the coming years will adequately reveal. In June joy reigned supreme for two reasons: first, because of the success of the Juniors in the State Normal examina- tions; and then, because the reception they tendered the Seniors was such a bright gem in the crown of achievements of their Junior year. The long-looked-for goal of Senior year was at last reached, and President Lynch with his efficient co-workers Mary Burns, Anna McCann and John Haley left nothing undone that could add to the happiness and pleasure of the last months of school life. Class rings, pictures, and other adages that mean so much to high school students were carefully selected, and under the able guidance of John Caulfield and John McCarthy the Bernardian grew in size and quality. In the early autumn, Reverend Mother M. Helena was the guest of honor at 193] O-, 6 —_5 j- —%— IRTUS CORONA VITAE one of the assemblies, on which occasion the Seniors presented the operetta, “Lady Frances’ for Reverend Mother’s enjoyment. At the close of school for the Christmas holidays, the students were privileged to present to Monsignor Donnelly and the priests of the parish, Reverend Mother and the Sisters, a charming Christmas sketch, redolent with the spirit of the season, entitled ‘‘One Gift Above Another.’’ In February, under the direction of Reverend Father Lucey, the school gave the three-act play, “Cat O’ Nine Tails,’ in which a large number of Seniors participated and were glad to share the praise that was every- where evident for the splendid production. Eyer on the alert for the spiritual as well as the scholastic welfare of his children, Monsignor Donnelly added to the curriculum at this time, an im- portant feature in the form of a course in Christian Apologetics. These profitable and interesting lectures were given in the auditorium by Reverend Father Martin and Reverend Father Kelley, alternately. In the latter part of January, Reverend Father George Hurley, head of the “Society for the Propagation of the Faith,”’ in the Springfield Diocese addressed the student body regarding the work to be done for the conversion of China and other foreign nations. In an effort to co-operate with his appeal the Sisters devoted a part of the religion period every week to interesting programs con- cerning missionary work, and there is every hope that in the future St. Bernard’s will be second to none in the noble enterprise of missionary activity. This year marked the entrance of the school into the Diocesan Debating Contest in which the winning team receives the trophy given by our Right Rev- erend Bishop. The ability and whole-heartedness displayed by the boys surpassed all expectations, and great joy was manifested for the splendid work of the home team, although defeated, as well as for the victorious representatives who carried home the laurels from Sacred Heart of Worcester. Another feature of the Senior year was the inauguration of clubs to further the interest of the pupils in the different subjects. Chief among these were, the Literary and Debating Society, the Spanish, French, and Latin Clubs. Although the main object of these activities was to increase the knowledge of the pupils, yet skilful management made the hours of meeting most happy and agreeable, : | IK TUS CUKY ‘A UIT OES } the remembrance of which will be a source of pleasure in future years. About the end of March the Basket Ball Team was honored by an invita- tion to participate in the Tournament at Pittsfield. Under the direction of Reverend Father Martin, Coach Roberts secured all that was necessary for a pleasant journey for the boys. Not even the enthusiasm of a spirited rally was wanting to rouse the courage of the ardent sportsmen, and amid the cheers and best wishes of the entire student body they departed for the scene of action. The days sped on, and soon the snows of winter were melting on the distant hills. To a thoughtful member of the class who watched the cheerful, rosy faces passing through the corridors, the remembrance of a rose garden which flourished once brought a prayer and a wish that those who formed the Class of Thirty-one, and who were about to be transplanted into the vast garden of a busy world would waft on every side the fragrance of their noble lives—a fragrance which would be a testimony to all that the ideals and lessons gleaned from a thoroughly Catholic education are the true means of attaining whatever is great and noble in this life.

The 1931 presentation ‘“‘Cat O’ Nine Tails’’ was a huge success, especially as it was a most difficult play to stage. A camp setting, a summer night accompanied by a terrific thunderstorm, and a general atmosphere of mystery with a mixture of comedy on the part of Henry, whose antics and quotations forced a continual round of laughter, af- forded the audience a period of thrill and excitement. The acting was done so cleverly that no suspicion of the “‘Cat O’ Nine Tails’ could be placed on any character and the solving of the mystery came as a surprise to everyone.

William Furlong ‘34 o — E—=SUIRTUS CORUNA VITAE a ——— Our Assemblies This year’s schedule of assembly programs revolved itself into a special- feature display by each of the classes. At the commencement the Seniors enter- tained well with individual literary discussions, dealing in particular with modern writers. “The Kipling-Masefield Day’’ was made especially pleasing and ended with the singing of ‘“‘On the Road to Mandalay” by the entire Senior class. The Juniors entered into their work with zest and vigor. Their method of procedure was somewhat different from that of the Seniors. They dealt entirely with poetry, one pupil discussing the setting, another reading the selec- tion, and a third speaking on the literary merits and contents of the poem. When the Sophomores gained control of the stage they forged ahead at once into the field of dramatics and kept their audience spellbound and delighted with their sp!endid handling of several sketches including “How the Story Grew,” “My Aunt from California,” and “‘March Madness.” Before their season closed, however, they impressed all with the fact that their talent was not confined to dramatics for they furnished a very interesting program in the form of a debate, the question of which was: “‘Resolved that the United States should own the Merchant Marine.”’ As the Sophomores saw their programs nearing completion they began to sense a feeling of comparative ease and relief; and all the upper classes—Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores awaited with expectancy the programs of the Fresh- men, the first of which, it was rumored, was to be a sketch from the ‘‘Merchant cf Venice.”’ At all the assemblies the school orchestra rendered valuable service by the splendid demonstration of musical talent which it set forth, and had a great part in making the programs a source of great pleasure and enjoyment for the pupils of the school.

The Spanish Club aims to promote the knowledge of this language, especially facility in fluent conversation which, to those entering the business world, may be of immense commercial value. Sophomores and Juniors hold the majority in membership, although membership is not restricted to these. The meetings of the Spanish Club are presided over by the following: Chairman JAMES COLEMAN ’32 Secretary ; CATHERINE TARBELL °32 French Club Much activity characterizes this assembly. Its chief aim is to promote an interest and afford an opportunity of conversing in French fluently and well. Everything that is conducted in this organization is carried on in French, thus instilling and broadening the knowledge of the French language in the mind of each student. As yet the membership is not large, but with the future large classes a great increase in the number of members is expected. ii wnt erin, torah a ee ee : i : j : i Latin Club The Latin Club has perhaps the smallest enrollment, nevertheless the pupils have enjoyable moments at the weekly meetings. Much of interest to Latin students is discussed which could not justly claim a place in the busy class hours of the Latin course. Above all the aim of the club is to arouse a keen interest and a great liking for Latin which, even in the rush and whirl of modern life, is recognized by the best authorities as a necessary foundation for a thorough, well-balanced education. Debating Team The outstanding work of debating this year was the competition in the Diocesan Contest. The question was: ‘‘Resolved that the Chain Store is a detriment to the Community.’’ As the subject was an important one at this time, it attracted many business people of the city to the debate. Our affirmative team which consisted of John McCarthy, Gerald Barnicle, John Hunt, with James Earley as alternate, met St. John’s School of Worcester here: while the negative team, consisting of John Caulfield, Geoffrey Hughes, Edward Lynch, with Thomas Carroll as alternate, met Sacred Heart School of Worcester in that city. The honorable judges awarded the decision to St. John’s team at Fitch- burg, but St. Bernard’s brought home the honors from Worcester. We offer cur thanks and congratulations to the debaters for their excellent work. The Forum Although the work of this society is not confined to debating; from it, however, the Diocesan debaters are selected to represent the school. The meetings are made enjoyable as well as beneficial, especially by the presentation of plays, literary talks and readings. The society renders much assistance to the members of the Faculty in that it enables them to determine the oratorical and argumenta- tive ability of the pupils.

The material which reported for this year’s combination was for the most part, veteran, and competition there- fore, was keen. The schedule at hand was very much stiffer than any of the preceding years, because of the fine reputation earned by the 29-30 Team. Bear- ing this in mind, Coach Roberts held strenuous pre-season practice, seeking by this means to develop a fast combination which would win consistently. This combination was actually found as is testified in clear, strong and glorious terms in the marvelous record of the team. That we may, however, always remember, we have here set down this glorious season in graphical form. With Captain ‘Bun’ Moran, as leader, the third basket ball team to represent St. Bernard’s High opened its season on Dec. 18, playing host to St. Mary's of Milford. The Academy boys were confident as they ran onto the floor, but the fast-working “‘Saints’’ wove, passed, and cut up and down the floor in a bewildering maze of speed. With a 32 to 8 victory St. Bernard’s won, Bun Moran piling up 23 points, helped by Billy Mackie. The first victory gave the squad added confidence, but in the next game they caught a Tartar. The Alumni Team, led by Don Lennon, was the opponent for the evening and an easy St. Bernard’s victory was anticipated. But the Alumni more than met the Saints, and for three quarters that “‘easy’’ victory was turned into a back-to-the-wall stand for the Saints. Amidst a burst of applause Bill Mackie sank the winning basket, clinching the game 17 to 15. Coach Joe Tarpey’s Team from Ware started the New Year right for 1Q31 « [ —=aIRTUS CORONA UITAES = St. Bernard's Team on January 1, at the Harvard St. Gym. The Saints breezed through for their third straight win, with Bill Mackie leading the victory by 8 points. It was with some misgiving that St. Bernard’s lined up against the strong Worcester South Team for their fourth contest of the season. South had beaten Leominster the previous week, and a St. Bernard’s victory would send their stock soaring to a new height. At first a furious battle, the Saints emerged victorious under the skilful leadership of Captain Moran who, with 11 points led the 18 to 12 victory. Looking for their fifth straight victory, St. Bernard’s entertained at home Haverhill Trade in their next encounter. The Vocational boys, coached by Jack MacDonald, were game, but they lacked the fast criss-crossing attack which characterized the work of the Saints and with Captain Moran leading the way, St. Bernard’s achieved their objective by a score of 15 to 8. For their first out-of-town game of the year, St. Bernard’s journeyed to Winchendon to play the strong Murdock High Team. Bill Mackie ran wild in this game, chalking up 16 points for a new high-scoring record for St. Bernard’s. The final score gave an easy 32 to 18 victory for St. Bernard's. Six straight games for the fast-traveling, sharp-shooting St. Bernard's quintet. Their fame had spread abroad and Manchester heralded their approach with blazing headlines. Alas! history repeated itself, because for the second time in two years, St. Bernard’s lost to St. Joseph’s of Manchester by one point in their seventh game. The game went into an overtime period, and to the failure to “‘cash in”’ on charity shots may be attributed this first defeat. Smarting under their close defeat, St. Bernard’s wreaked vengeance on St. Louis of Webster the following week. Mackie broke his record in this game, tossing in 19 points to lead a 47 to 13 victory for St. Bernard’s. 6 —P—=MIRTUS CORUNA VITA = we r es f21 LF S = 4 ; ae I—2,— d . — ; Lo SS . St. Bernard's next played host to Murdock High of Winchendon in a return game. With the famous combination of ‘Moran and Mack’’ cutting under the basket in lightning exchange, the Saints took the Winchendon scalp by the clean-cut 32 to 13 victory. Courteously paying back Jack MacDonald’s visit, St. Bernard's next journeyed to H averhill for the second Trade School encounter. The fast attack and fine defensive work of the St. Bernard’s combination was too much for the Haverhill boys, and the Saints chalked up their ninth gain. St. John’s boys of Worcester came to the Harvard St. Gym for the tenth game on the Saints’ schedule. The Saints took the Worcesterites by a 22 to 14 score with Bill Mackie dropping one-half of those 22 points. St. Bernard’s had now taken over two Worcester teams, and expected to send the Worcester North aggregation home in gloom when the latter came here. But Alas! That high-scoring combination o f “Moran and Mack’’ was broken by the illness of Captain Moran, and North turned out a 16 to 11 victory. The strong Nashua High Team provided the most keenly contested, bit- terly fought and most thoroughly enjoyed (by spectators) game of the season. Trailing by six points St. Bernard’s entered the final quarter resolved to win quickly or lose all in the attempt. With Trojan efforts they sprang to the task, and a brilliant rally was climaxed by that never-to-be-forgotten shot of Billy Mackie which won the game 21 to 20. Mackie set his name in letters of gold in the history of the school that night. Boston College High proved too weak for the Saints in the first meeting of these two schools, and St. Bernard’s ran up a new high-scoring record for the school. This score was led by Bill Mackie 53 to 14. Another high-scoring orgy was held as St. Bernard's chalked up the —P—=WUIRTUS CORONA VITA thirteenth win at the expense of St. Louis’s of Webster. Bill again led the way with his sixteen points, and the score was 42 to 12. In the semi-final game of the season St. Bernard's ran up against unex- pected opposition from St. Mary’s of Milford. Playing on a large floor the Saints were slow in getting accustomed to the surroundings, but soon all began to function in perfect running order. When the smoke had blown away a 45 to 31 victory shone through. Bill Mackie continued his record-breaking career with thirty-one points for a night's endeavor. In a blaze of well-deserved glory the Saints rounded up the most success- ful season ever completed by defeating St. Joseph’s of Manchester. As a parting effort, the Saints sang their swan song to the tune of a 23 to 13 victory. At last that seemingly unsurmountable jinx was chased and the previous defeats in two years by the Manchester squad were amply avenged. There could be no question of superiority left after seeing the Saints run through the game with the New Hampshire boys, a big feature being the fine defensive work of the two chain store guards, Caulfield and Regan. A truly wonderful season was finished in a most fitting manner. SQUAD B “EAM BASKET BALL On Parting The old order is passing, the new moves on to take its place. Thus we go, and with our departure comes the passing of one whose loss will probably be felt much more keenly than that of the passing Seniors of Thirty-one; one who is responsible for our achievements in the field of athletics—Coach Richard D. Roberts. We were Freshmen when Mr. Roberts came to St. Bernard's, and his coming marked the advent of an important factor nowadays—athletics. He at once inaugurated a coaching system which succeeded most admirably, and his training methods were those of a man well-versed 1n competitive athletics. When we were Sophomores, in 1928, the first basket ball team of St. Bernard’s High came into existence. We all know the instant success that it met, competing with teams which had the tremendous advantage of experience and mature material, and yet Mr. Roberts’ “‘green’’ squad soon ranked among the leaders. After that strenuous campaign our coach was not content to exalt our 6 —— UIRTUS CORUNA VITAES schoo: by means of basket ball alone, but chose the diamond as a fellow line of endeavor. In due course of time, our Junior year saw the second basket ball team organized under the direction of Coach Roberts. This team proved Mr. Roberts a true genius of basket ball, and swept through its season in whirlwind form, hanging up the excellent record of sixteen victories against four defeats. That same year our diamond activities were again guided by Mr. Roberts, and the team turned out by him proved to be a good choice, playing always away from home, where it frequently defeated old and more experienced teams. With cur Senior year drawing to a close our last basket ball season was also completed. It was successful even beyond the fondest dreams of Coach Roberts. The team of our parting year, a fine example of well-organized, sturdy material, was brought to the highest degree of smoothness by the indefatigable efforts of Mr. Roberts. It competed with the strongest teams of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, emerging victorious again and again, until each game resolved itself into the glowing spectacle of the splendid work of St. Bernard’s Team. Finally in recognition of his untiring zeal, came the supreme reward, and Coach Roberts’ crowning success. The attention of the Catholic basket ball world has focused itself on his team, and the great honor of participating in the Catholic Tournament at Pittsfield was bestowed upon him. Perhaps no other tribute could more clearly express appreciation of his services, than this final achievement which makes this year, though one of parting, a glorious success, the success which comes to those who have faithfully toiled and labored. And now as a tribute to Coach Roberts for his faithful services of the past four years, we who have been the only class in constant relation with him during that period, thank him most sincerely for his efforts in our behalf, con- gratulate him heartily on his success, and hope that his future endeavors will be continued from that high pinnacle of attainment on which they now rest. We are certain that the recognition which he has won at our Alma Mater will be invaluable in helping him to mount the heights that lead to higher athletic honor.

Graduation here, but— b ——=UIKTUS CORONA VITE The Class of Thirty-One “Twas a dozen years ago When first we entered school, There to learn our lessons well, And follow every rule. For the first day we had fun, Not all cur own that’s true; And how kind our teachers were All day, ‘tis well we knew. But the first eight years were long, We learned, and learned, and learned; And at last the great day came, To high school we had turned. Then the work began and Oh! How hard the Latin came, There was Ancient Mis'ry too, I tell you we were tame. We reached Soph’more year at last How glad we were to pass! For the splendid work we did Who'd spoil so nice a class? The assemblies came in turn We trembled in the hall, With our heart-beats thumping loud, We answered to the call. With a Junior year at hand, A noble work was done, For we chose Giles Lynch to lead, The Class of Thirty-one. There was also Mary and Ted Who helped to rule the State, And our gracious Anna stood, To help in many a strait. How rejoiced we were at last! As Seniors we ranked high; But often we wished at heart The title were not nigh. What is left for us to say? Our school days now are few, And our happy years have sped, So we must bid adieu. —John Caulfield. oS Se ai ae eS SES SS tree SECTION B CIEASS OFV1934 6- —P—=-IRTUS CORONA VITA NAME Ruth Atkinson Rita Beaudoin Antoinette Blais Mary Burns Cecile Boudreau Catherine Carney Mary Carroll Louise Corliss Mary Colello Dorothy Cyr Anna Dunleavy Margaret Donlan Helen Doheny Rachael Enright Catherine Hagerty Madeleine Hughes Pauline Ide Catherine Kelly Helen Kittredge Marie L’Ecuyer Helen L’Esperance Anna McCann Catherine Moran Josephine O'Leary Edna Rivers Bernadette Rousseau Anna Seboski Grace Stanton Mary Walsh Mary Ward DISPOSITION Jolly Determined Quiet Sunny Obliging Unruffled Cheery Bubbling Pleasant Smiling Anxious Sweet Ardent Unassuming Good Deliberate Dignified Retiring Cheerful Modest Even Lovable Quiet Obliging Frank Reserved Calm Smooth Serene Mild UE WIRE School Teacher Physical Training Teacher Author of “How to be good’’ Poet Public Reader Professional Typist Teaching French Kindergarten Teacher Artist Social Reformer ‘Reacherof. leat Great Composer Famous Author Illustrious Designer Social Service Worker Defender of Women’s Rights Prima Donna Journalist Secretary Organist Successor to Bud Fisher Dietitian College Professor Private Secretary Auto Racer Governess Cooking Teacher District Nurse Court Stenographer Milliner b —B—=YIRTUS CORONA VITA Humor Willie Fohy: Too bad Shakespeare wasn’t born in London.

Autographs | 5 —2—=WUIRTUS CORONA VITAES Au Revoir In nineteen hundred twenty-seven, We formed a rampart strong, To take by storm the realms of knowledge And there to tarry long. To progress true our word was given, We clearly saw our way; Toward different goals we all did strive With toil from day to day. E’er soon our mettle well was proved, As Sophs we were supreme; On lowly Freshmen we looked down, It seemed to be a dream. The Junior year saw Lynch our head, Marie we made his aide; John Haley treasurer, we said; A scribe of Anne we made. Proud Seniors now at last we are, Our knowledge near complete; Our efforts true are not o’erlooked, With joy each heart’s replete. Commencement beckons on ahead And utters harsh demands, We'll soon be saying “‘au revoir’ As Thirty-one disbands, Arnold G. Haley. James W. Earley. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-one wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to those merchants who contributed so generously to the advertising section of this issue of the Bernardtian. mm) HA Compliments of TREARORSY 25 172 Water Street JOSEPH ADDANTE HIGH GRADE SHOE REPAIRING Stock and Work Guaranteed Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Shines 286 Water Street Fitchburg, Mass.
