{ ti 2 ail ‘en. el LILLIAN MARY CORMIER “Merrily, merrily, shall I live.” Smiling her way through even the hardest of school days, Lillian’s spirit has been a quality to marvel at and admire. Resourceful and possessed of great initia- tive, she has succeeded in all her class work and be- sides has scored a good record as an entertainer and pleasant classmate. EDWARD FRANCIS COTTON “The man of the day.” If self assurance is success, then Ed. is already there. He seems to have invented the world extemporaneous, for he is never at a loss to demonstrate its definition, no matter what the exigency is. May you persevere in this talent Ed., for in it are the makings of future greatness. MARGARET MARY CUNNINGHAM “She was a phantom of delight.’ “Cunny,”’ is one of our most popular and likeable girls. Earnest and intent in her school work, she still found time for fun, and mirth, and friendship. We ever found her glad to help on any occasion; and win- ning for herself considerable esteem and respect in the process among all her classmates. IRENE REGINA DELOGE “Her ways are pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” We will be very much surprised if any work ever proves too irksome and laborious for our industrious Irene. Faithfully she came every day in the bus, and her records show that she meant business by doing so. The reward of fidelity, say we who know her, is al- most a certainty.

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.

JOHN FRANCIS DESMOND, JR. “He ts straight and strong.” A red-headed, full-blooded American athlete, that’s Jackie. Although he always managed to give a satis- factory account of himself in the class room, Jackie excelled on the athletic field. Captain of the 1934 Basketball Team, star football player, and baseball wizard, he certainly has an enviable record. His forte is Baseball and we expect him to make the big league some day. We're with you, Jackie, then as now. PHILIP JOHN DICOLOGERO “A youth, too certain of his power to wade.” Philip is a firm believer in the above quotation. Having a set purpose in life he has set out to achieve it, and we trust that his success will bring joy to St. Bernard’s, and much happiness to: himself. ANNA FLORENCE DI NINNO “C hild of the clouds, remote from every taint.” Display and Anna are at opposite poles, hence her work is always of the genuine type. Reticent without being unduly so; friendly, without great display, she was ever one of the few followers of the golden mean. Without being impulsive or precipitate, she gave all her energy and ability to her school work. HELEN THERESA DONAHUE “Dignity is the natural expression of nobility.” “Work before play’ is Helen’s motto, and as a re- sult her name continually appeared on the Honor Roll. During the past four years she has made many friends because of he r tact and graciousness which were indeed most admirable, and with these assets we know she is well armed to go forth into life's battle.
