DOROTHY GRACE CANTON “Shy and demure she looks, But, my, how decetving are looks!” Dorothy is a happy laughing girl, but she becomes serious at the right time. She has taken the Com- mercial Course, and was a member of the Spanish Club. She is a faithful friend, has an amiable dis- position and is one of the most pleasant girls we know. She delights in sports and how she would like to distinguish herself in this field! Good luck, Dorothy! Don’t forget us. JOHN JOSEPH CARDULLO “A knight of gallant deeds.”’ John is a smiling-countenanced diminutive lad who is always looking at life from the bright side. He ever greets one with a smile, and we are confident that if he goes on in the same fashion he will be a great success. JOHN JAMES CARNEY ““A better fellow nowhere could be found.” For four years, John has manfully braved his assign- ments with success, the only difficulty being in the mastering of Spanish, a feat which he heroically per- formed. Together with Bob Clancy and Eddie Ber- nard, he has succeeded well in enlivening our spirits around school. John’s plans for next year are not as yet decided, but he carries the best wishes of his class in whatever field he will be. WILLIAM CLARENCE CARR “Gentle of speech and manners.’ If an honor list of candidates for the title of a real gentleman were published, ‘Bill’’ Carr would be con- spicuous. In school, he believes in applying himself diligently to his studies, and. the results have been in keeping with his efforts. His sincerity and tireless efforts will, no doubt, spell success for him in the great mart of life.

ALPHIE EDGAR BOURQUE “Silence best speaks the mind.” Although our acquaintance with Alphie has been short, it has, nevertheless, been a source of pleasure to his classmates. He is a reticent young man from Cleghorn, who has his lighter moments too. It was a real treat for us all to see his broad friendly smile, and his restrained but enjoyable delight in some trivi- ality. With his naive sincerity and friendliness he is high up in our ranks. VIRGINIA BROGNA “Oh! blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today.” Here is a merry, happy, singing girl, who refuses to be disturbed by anything. She has followed the Commercial Course and her greatest interest is in sports. She hasn't told any of us about her plans, but we think that the world of business will offer her opportunities. Best success, Virginia. PRISCILLA REGINA BRUNELL “The reason firm, the temperate will Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” Priscilla has been with us since Freshman year. During this time we have seen much to admire and respect in her simple unassuming manners. She is a Fitchburger who takes an interest in all about her— school work as well as sports. We cannot decide what her future plans are, but may every good for- tune be yours, Priscilla. CECILIA MARY BURKE “She that was ever fair and never proud.” We should not be amazed that such a charming per- son could be so totally unaware of her own good qualities, for after all that is the greatest charm. It took only the early weeks of Freshman year to make us appreciate her worth, and her ever-thoughtful quiet way singled her out as a steady and dependable class- mate who has a host of admiring friends.

JOSEPHINE MARY CATALINI “On with the fun.’ Josephine has been a veritable ray of sunshine in our arduous road to knowledge, and that is an asset not to be overlooked. To say she was quiet would be an injustice, for she was very often to be found among the leading frolickers of the class. But she ever remained within limits, staying far from the extremes that she always sought to avoid. We hope she will retain her cheerfulness in the sterner road of life. PIA FLORENCE CATTEL “Witty, jolly and carefree, Always happy as can be.” Pia is one of the most ardent sport fans in the school. Never would she think of missing a game of any sort. She herself engages in athletics, her chief hobby being basketball, which she plays exceedingly well. Pia and Josephine have been inseparable both in and out of school, and we trust that Dame Fortune will kindly direct their paths in channels close to- gether. ROBERT EMMETT CLANCY “Naught cares he for battles, and naught For the fierce disease of thought.” Bob is one of the most likeable fellows in his class, and is popular both with students and teachers. Re- sourceful and possessed of great initiative, he has ac- quitted himself well in all his undertakings during the past four years. Graduation finds him departing from us with the title of ‘‘pleasant comrade, and all-round good fellow,” EDWARD KENNETH COMINELLI “Who loves not knowledge?” If knowledge is power then Eddie is a veritable giant, as his four years’ Honor Roll standing amply proves. Although his studies kept Eddie fairly busy he managed to star in interclass basketball and also in tennis, in which he excelled. His dramatic ability is unquestioned and was displayed by his participation in numerous presentations and school plays. He cer- tainly has the best wishes of all his classmates for success in the future.
