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.

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.

BEATRICE ALOUISA BENINATI “Time is never heavy on her hands.” Beatrice is a happy girl delighted with all that life is offering her. She excels in many sports, being espe- cially interested in swimming and hiking. From much experience already secured in business life we feel cer- tain that success is already hers. WILLIAM ADOLPH BERGERON “Tet me die to the sounds of sweet music.” From the beginning William has revealed himself as a youth of discriminating tastes and keen insight. He has shown a marked preference for soft strains of music, but in all activities he had a keen interest. In the orchestra as a saxophonist he was a valuable asset, and his good work was only equalled by his fidelity and application. We have appreciated him not only for his earnestness, but also for his friendliness and genial ity, and trust that Fortune will smile on this worthy graduate of St. Bernard's. EDWARD JOHN BERNARD “Competition is the Spice of Life.” If this quotation is true, then Ed. is well seasoned, fer whenever he is about, there is sure to be friendly controversy. He, and a certain other Edward verify this statement all too often. Throughout the four years we have found much to admire in him, and much to value in his sincerity and straightforwardness which we feel he will display to much advantage in his future life. MARY CATHERINE BIRD “The fatrest garden tn her looks, In her mind the wisest books.” Our Math. genius is a most charming person. Be- sides possessing high mental faculties for math. and the classics, she is a most agreeable companion with whom to become acquainted. One of the several stu- dents from Leominster, since the first day of her Freshman year she has never missed a period of school. This exact attendance has attributed much to Mary’s success, It is her intention to attend State Teachers College next yeat, and once again we repeat the old saying, ‘‘our loss is their gain.”’
