CATHERINE ANNE ASHE “Ever loyal, ever true to the task she had to do.” Catherine is a Leominsterite who has made that city proud by her fidelity as a student and classmate. If ever you wish to find her you may be sure that she is with Winifred. Catherine has followed the Classical Course and we hope that she will be most successful in the future. LOUIS OLIVER ASHLINE “Not too sertous, not to gay, A good fellow in every way.” Louis has always been notedly quiet around school, and many of us were misled by his sober expression. We soon found out that he was frequently quite the contrary, and enjoyed himself at “every opportunity. His interests seem to center on mechanical drawing which we are certain he will put to the best advantage. ROBERT JOSEPH AUBUCHON “A youth light-hearted and content.” Robert came to us as a Junior and we were greatly impressed by his unusual reticenc e. Yet what a sur- prise he gave us when we knew him better! His geniality and good humor came bursting on us like a strong sunbeam through a dark cloud. His hobby at present is traveling from Cleghorn to school. HERMANCE AGNES AUDET “Upon a green and shady bank, A modest violet grew.” Hermance is one of the little violets of the class. If it were not for her recitations one would hardly know she was in the room. Her work has always been very efficiently done, and her name has very often graced the Honor Roll. With her pleasing per- sonality’ and admirable qualities there is no doubt as to the happy future of Hermance.

GERALD PAUL LOMBARD “Discourse was deemed man’s noblest attribute.” The Class of 1934 will ever pride itself on its choice of President. Gerald is one of the most versatile members of his class. He excels in debating and dramatics and is an ex- ceptionally good student. One of his chief assets is his ability to make friends and keep them. Words of praise can add little to his accom- plishments, for as a leader he has been outstanding, and has justified all the confidence that °34 placed in him. He leaves with our friendship, gratitude and assurance that we will continue to have confidence in him. PAULINE MARY FOLEY “We her discretions have observed, Her just opinion, delicate reserve.” To our Class Secretary, we offer most sincere congratulation for the excellent work she has done in behalf of the class. As a companion we have all enjoyed her quiet amiability to the highest degree. Many of us, too, have undoubtedly succeeded in a greater extent because of the discreet opinions she has so often and so will- ingly expressed, and the advice which she so kindly offered, for which our gratitude in the future will be last- ing and sincere. ELIZABETH JANE KILMARTIN “Friends she has many; Foes she has not any.” One of the members of the Faculty once informed us that the one thing our class could boast of was our good judgment in electing class officers. So now we'll boast not of our judgment but of our Vice-President. An ordi- nary conversation with Jane will satisfy the most exacting critic and justify our pride in her. Besides pos- sessing a magnetic personality she has been endowed with unusual skill in acquiring knowledge and has made a pleasing leader of the Honor Roll Brigade. ‘The entire class of thirty- four unites in wishing her success and happiness in her career at Our Lady of the Elms. OscAR JOSEPH ROUX “To us as diamond ts to glass.’ Oscar was elected treasurer of his class in his Junior year. Recogniz- ing his worth we chose him for the post and kept him there through two years of growing admiration for his sturdy sincerity and rugged simplic- ity. His interest in all school activi- ties was unflagging and he was ever ready to lend a helping hand. Al- though resolute and exact in class work, a spirit of lightheartedness and pleasure characterized him, and these qualities will stand out in our mem- ories of him hereafter.

PRESTON ALEXANDER BAKER “IT came, I saw, I conquered.” The pride of Westminster, and why not? Preston is in school rain or shine and is interested in anything connected with it. He played on the Football Team. acquitted himself splendidly in the field of oratory, and is an all-round Honor Student. ‘There is a popu- ular rumor about that he will in time gain great official dignity in his home town, and we know that he will then play true to his title of a ‘St. Bernard’s High School Graduate.” YVONNE ZOE BASQUE “Graceful in name and deed.” Yvonne is noted as one of our demure little stu- dents who seldom is heard, but often is seen working diligently and earnestly at her school work. When you penetrate the reserve that surrounds her you find a most genial and entertaining young lady—traits that will stand by her in her business career. RENE JOSEPH BEDARD “A little mischtef now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” Rene was certainly one of our best-natured boys. He believed in taking everything just as it came, even to “bumping off” football carriers. His hobbies (for he has many) were footbal! and the exercising of ‘‘Pop Fletcher’s'’ horses, and how he exercised them! We know his future will be free from gloom. EVA DORIA BELANGER “Mildest manners and gentlest heart.” On Eva's joining our ranks we received an invalu- able increase of friendliness and sincerity. An affable gentle maiden, she could be serious and painstaking when the need arose, and when there was question of lessons Eva was never found to shirk. Students of Eva's type are not common, and that is why she will live long in the memories of all of us.
