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.

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!

IRENE MARIE GAGNE , “Sober, steadfast and demute.’ Irene’s ready smile and genial disposition made her the friend of all with whom she came in contact. Al- though in school she was ever attentive to duty, that did not detract from her friendliness, and we all felt no hesitancy about asking favors of Irene. Her name was never missing from the Honor Roll during the four years, and what future will dare oppose such earnestness? JAMES PHILIP GOULD “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.’ Jimmy was our star violinist, and though small, skilfully managed his saxophone, and thereby added more than his share to the melody of our orchestra. He pursued the College Course and always succeeded in giving a good account of himself in the classroom. We await expectantly Jimmy’s debut in the world of music. LEONARD MARIO GUERCIO “A magnificent spectacle of human happiness.” “Gerk,’’ as he is known to many of his friends, possesses a sprightly nature full of fun. He was one of the carefree members of the class, but nevertheless displayed a reputable amount of energy in his class work. ‘‘Gerk’’ was an ardent rooter scoring a perfect- attendance record at the basketball games. We feel that in whatever field he labors, “‘Gerk’’ will be loyal and true to the ideals set forth in St. Bernard’s High. VIRGINIA MARIE HALEY “Mischief dances in her eyes And smiles upon her lips.” “Jeanie’ has been an unusually active member of the Senior class, participating in all the social events with hearty enthusiasm and good will. She is a great basketball fan, and has enjoyed the greater number of the games both at home and out of town. One can always enjoy her big dancing eyes, which speak kind- ness to all. In fine she has a combination of qualities which we all admire and will long remember.
