MARY AGNES DOOLEY “A sunny disposition is a treasure.” Scarcely any of the pupils came to our notice and friendship more quickly and easily than Mary. Her beaming smile in a few days of acquaintance made us feel that we had been companions for years. She has kept and added to this feeling all along, and our es- teem for such comradeship will long outlive our Senior Year. CHARLOTTE MARY DOVEDENAS “Silence has many advantages.” Charlotte is a tall, stately, and dignified gir! who prefers listening attentively to having the floor. She always has an encouraging smile and helping hand for -all her classmates, and won a high position in the es- teem of pupils and teachers. Charlotte plans to con- tinue her studies, and we prophesy a helpful and suc- cessful career of many years. ELEANOR MARY ESPIE “To speak the truth she always dares.” Eleanor is part of the representation who came to us from West Fitchburg. She is an extremely enthu- silastic student, and is always most willing to contribute her valued opinions, both in History and Civics. Throughout these four years she has added much jovi- ality to our classes, and has enlivened our periods with her interesting discussions. We are sorry to see her go, but we are eager for her success in a happy future. EUNICE PAULETTE FLUET “Knowledge comes from fatthful study.” The above quotation certainly applies to Eunice. Her ability to translate Latin has always drawn much admiration from her friends of the Latin class. Her willingness to help others and her gentle, pleasing man- ner are real pledges of future happiness. May the joy and success which has followed you through High School continue throughout your whole life!

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.

JOSEPH BERNARD FLYNN “He wears his manhood hale and green.” Here’s a fine all-round chap, a good friend to have and to keep. Joe’s favorite pastime was skating in which he aroused the envy of all about him. He also starred in baseball on our varsity team and daily lent his cheerful support to the sport. We shall remember Joe for his genial good-humour and friendliness. KATHERINE WINIFRED FLYNN “A golden head and a golden heart.” Few in the class have won as much respect for char- acter, and admiration for pluck as this earnest pursuer of the light of knowledge. Womanly in every sense of the word Katherine leaves us to take up the profession of nursing, bearing away with her our deep friendship and admiration. MARY VERONICA FOHY “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” Mary is an exceptionally studious girl who can also appreciate a good joke. During her four years, here, she has established for herself a standing place on the Honor Roll. She has many good qualities which will certainly contribute to her future success in the pro- fessional world. Best luck Mary. DAVID JOSEPH FORTIN “A young man of many faculties.” Dave was one of our energetic managers and to- gether with Joe and Ed, succeeded in financing our Class Book. Courteous and considerate, he was always ready to assist his classmates and join in any under- taking. The future looks bright for such a man as Dave. If results are the standards of ability, Dave need have no fear for the future.
