EVA CECILE JDE “A vein of mirth beneath her air of dignity.” Eva with her ever-ready abundance of smiles cheered our path and brightened our hours continually during the high school course. Amidst it all she ever re- mained the essence of serenity and dignity—qualities which will always endear her to us after high school days are over. FERRIS LOUIS JOSEPH “Dispatch ts the soul of bustness.”’ Ferris joined our illustrious class during our Senior year. As a lively advertising manager for the Bernar- dian he revealed great ability. Although somewhat re- served in manner, he, nevertheless always had a cheery smile and a happy greeting for his schoolmates. He was particularly a great rooter for the teams, and fol- lowed the games both at home and away. Ferris’ plans for next year are unknown to us, but in his chosen sphere we are certain that his goal will be that of worth, WINIFRED MARY KILLELEA “T prefer silent prudence to loquactous folly.” Among the earnest toilers of our class we may un- doubtedly place Winifred since she was generally found engaged in the preparation of some assignment. Her fine recitations in the History class have won for her the admiration of her fellow students. As for the future, we hope that she will be most prosperous. HENRY EDWARD KIVLEHAN “Tn order to have friends, be one.’ Henry has a long way to travel to school, but he doesn’t let this annoy him, because he knows that upon his arrival at school he can enjoy himself in studying his Biology, History, and so forth. It took us scarcely a week to learn that he was a lad who was dependable and trustworthy, one whose quiet culture was not openly displayed but nevertheless truly char- acteristic. Once the borders of intimacy were passed Henry was a thoroughly delightful friend whom we will remember in years to come.

MARY JOSEPHINE HAMER “High in stature, High in talent.” In years to come Mary’s name will alw ays be con- nected, even for those who knew her least, with dig- nity and affability which have evinced themselves forc- ibly throughout her high school course. Her scholastic reward is certainly worth mentioning for her name has continually appeared on the Honor and High Honor Rolls, nor should we fail to mention her splendid work as pianist in our school orchestra. She intends to continue her studies, and we hope that her future will be as successful as her past. ANNE THERESA HAVERTY “Her clear blue eyes and pleasant smile Are things that make life well worth while.” On even slight acquaintance one cannot but be im- pressed by Anne's clear, blue eyes. She is a jolly friendly girl with whom one can form a lasting friend- ship. She has a most pleasant smile seen often through- out the day, even during the most strenuous of classes. Preserve the smile, Anne, continually throughout life. ELEANOR MARY HOGG “Her step was royal—queenltke.”’ This quiet, dainty maid is one who will remain al- ways in the hearts of those who knew her. She is a gentle, auburnhaired girl who is always dressed in the latest, most exquisitely fashioned clothes. She has up- held the high reputation of her sister and two brothers who here preceded her as graduates, and we know she will be equally as loyal and true as they to St. Ber- nard's High. MARY BERNADETTE HUSSEY “Rather quiet, rather shy, But a twinkle tn her eye.” Here we present Bernadette, one ‘of our many friends from “‘up West’’ who joined us our Freshman year. She is the naturally quiet type but with this quietness she has mixed a fine sense of humor and a keen perception of wit. Wherever there is any laugh- ing or fun there you can find “Bunny.” Best wishes from the class of '34!

JOHN JAMES KIVLEHAN , “True to himself and his friends.’ “Johnnie” came from West Fitchburg our Fresh- man year. Industrious, energetic, and faithful in all his undertakings, he has become a great favorite. His most intimate pal is Joe (F) and these two spend many happy moments together. ‘‘Johnnie’’ distinguished himself as a baseball player on the Varsity Nine last spring. As a member of the Spanish Club, his latent ability was displayed to much advantage, and it is with pride that we recall his achievements in the ac- tivities of that circle. HELEN RIFA LEBLANC “T dare not trust those eyes They dance tn mists, dazzle with surprise.” Helen’s eyes are the envy of her classmates but she is unconscious of it all. She is one of the quiet, atten- tive members, and has endeared herself to teachers and pupils. Among her own intimate friends she is a charming and delightful companion, as all the mem- bers of that envied circle assert. EDGAR JOSEPH LEGER “A man he seems of confident tomorrows.” Coming every day from distant West Fitchburg, Edgar won the esteem and regard of both students and teachers. He was a wizard in math., exceptionally fine in all his studies, and kept perseveringly on the Honor Roll. He was always willing to participate in any school activity, and his ability was very often in evidence during the past four years. He has not in- formed us of his plans, but we know he will respond whole-heartedly to any task. JAMES FRANCIS LOVE “Bright as the summer's noon.’ Were we limited to one word in describing Francis that word would undoubtedly be—sincerity. It’s a quality that has marked and characterized him since his coming among us. They say golf is his favorite sport, and so great has been his interest and his en- thusiasm in that direction that some day we expect him to be proclaimed the champion golfer of our country.
