BERNARD'S HIGH SCHOOL FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS Right Reverend James J. Donnelly, P. R., Pastor Co Our Beloved Pastor, Monsignor Donnelly We now must close our high school days, Whose happy hours and gladsome laps Hlooded our pouthful hearts; £et us hut linger pet awhile, And mem'rp’s golden hours beguile E'en with the tear that starts. Co pou, Monsignor, our true friend, Who all our pears with love didst tend, Our grateful hearts o’erflow; And as with pearning souls we leane, ®ur lives to Faith and Cruth will cleave, Chrough evening sunset glow. And when our eternal goal is won, And we behold God's only Son, On Bis bright throne above; We'll still recall pour lessons taught, And all the good for us von sought. In Beaven'’s enduring love. incipal . Reverend Francis J. Carroll, Pr Hedication As a conscious tribute for his earnest toil and priestly labors among us we, the Class of 1935, affectionately dedicate this book to our beloved Principal, Reverend Francis Wf. Carroll. Hoveword The happiness of this life ebbs and flows, and perhaps the greatest source of happiness is the recalling of sweet memories fraught with the delights and pleasures of pouth. Jn this volume we have sought to collect the scattered fragrance of those happy pears that formed our high school career. As the pears lengthen in the distant future map it be our greatest joy and pleasure to turn the pages of this book, and renew again the iopful memories of our happy daps at St. Bernard's Bigh School. 1935 CLASS OF EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief EVERETT DUPUIS Business Manager WARREN KEATING Assistant Business Managers CHARLES CASASSA Write-up Committee EDMUND CARROLL PHILIP RAGUSA ANGELA DEL BEATO MaAry SHEA WILLIAM DEMPSEY DOROTHY TAYLOR JOHN G UMBLETON ROGER VAILLETTE ELEANOR MCCARTHY ERNEST VOWLES RITA McCKEARIN MARY WALSH Class History RUTH MORIARTY CATHERINE WALSH HELEN FLAHERTY ELAISE CAREY Humor NOBERT LAFORTUNE ALBERTINA THIBODEAU RAYMOND BENOIT Picture Committee ELIZABETH PYNE MARGARET RAHER LEO RHEAULT ESTHER FITZPATRICK WARREN KEATING MARY KEENAN Class Will RUTH MORIARTY Activities GEORGE MATHIEU JEAN SPEARS ELLEN CARROLL Athletics CHARLES CURTIS JOSEPH KIVLEHAN WILLIAM O’CONNOR Typewriting Committee JEAN SPEARS ROGER VAILLETTE JENNIE VIGGIANO ANNA LIPNISKAS WALTER MORSE 10 WILLIAM ROBERTS .

AIS ee PHOTOS JOSEPH RAYMOND TWINING 71 Albee Street Technical Course Behold a prince among fellows—our president, Ray. Honors far fewer than those won by Ray have spoiled many a promising youth—but he has scaled the very heights of Olympus without losing those fine qualities that have made him the most popular boy at St. Bernard’s. Pages could be written on his vic- tories as an athlete until a physical disablement—an injured shoulder—trestricted his ardent courage by bar- ring him from athletics. As a leader he stood out by the perfect and harmonious way with which he piloted the Class of ’35. And so we thank our President for what he has done for us, assuring him that the Class of '35 is behind him to a man. DOROTHY JANE TAYLOR 135 Charles Street Classical Course Dot’s gentle dignity and poise, her willingness and ability in performing all the duties of her office have made her an ideal vice-president. She has been univer- sally popular among her classmates for her kindly tact and sympathy, her sincerity, loyalty, and helpfulness. And what can we say to sufficiently extol the high scholastic rank which she has maintained throughout her high school course? This combination of ability and winning personality should insure for Dot a suc- cessful and prosperous future, and we, her classmates unite in offering her our sincere wishes for a happy future. ANNA MARY LIPNISKAS 63 Sanborne Street Commercial Course Here it is our privilege and honor to present our demure and conscientious Secretary. She has labored diligently in our behalf, and we feel amply repaid for having chosen her as our representative. An ardent advocate of athletic sports, Anna was usually present at all the games cheering lustily for St. Bernard's. Her ever watchful attention to lessons, despite her partici- pation in pleasure, has had an undeniable influence on the members of her class, and we are certain that it will be a potent force and power beyond the precincts of our school. Best wishes, Anna, we will ever remem- ber your services. JOSEPH FRANCIS KIVLEHAN 48 Overland Street Technical Course Joe, the treasurer of our class, hails from West Fitchburg, and is as pleasant a companion as you would wish to meet. When it comes to school work he’s just like the rest of us, but we can never say that he was a shirker. He is universally popular throughout the school, because of his sincerity, understanding, modesty, and conviction. He took the floor only when he had something worth while to say, and then his senti- ments were listened to with respect. The Class of '35 takes leave of him with feelings of deference and affec- tion, and offers him every wish of success in the future. 12 LOUISE MARY AUDET 11 Portland Street General Course Louise, that little personification of mildness and gentleness has however, a firmness of character and determination which will be of priceless value in her chosen career. Her fidelity to study and earnestness of purpose will long be remembered, and as she leaves us to enter St. Vincent Training School we offer her our sincere wishes for success. JANET MARIE BASQUE 252 Boutelle Street Commercial Course Janet’s sparkling eyes and cheerful smile have dis- tinguished her as one who likes fun. But despite her good times she has measured up to a creditable stand- ard as a student. An earnest pursuer of the Commer- cial Course, Janet has not neglected to lend her assist- ance to all the school’s social activities where her loy- alty and good will were ever apparent. We trust that her cheerfulness will win her many friends in the future. Best of luck, Janet, from the Class of '35. ANTONIO JOHN BELLIO 50 Middle Street Lane Commercial Course Our United States History wizard! Although he joined us in the Sophomore Year, ‘‘Tony,’’ without delay showed us that when it came to studies, he could hold his own with the majority. In Coach Tar- pey's History Class he excelled, as well as in Current Events. Although quiet and reserved he nearly always assumed a commanding position. May you continue, Tony, to wield an influence worthy of a graduate of St. Bernard’s High. RAYMOND JOSEPH BENOIT 246 Mechanic Street . Classical Course Ray became a member of the class of ‘35 during our Sophomore year. Although quiet in school you could not find a more sociable fellow, or a better com- panion as his home friends, Leo and Everett testify. Ray is very active in our French club, where many times he has entertained us with that inimitable French accent of his. When he enters College to continue his studies we know his jovial disposition will make him as happy as he was at St. Bernard’s. 13 RAYMOND JOSEPH BISAILLON 4 Pearl Street Technical Course The recollection of happy days at St. Bernard’s can but conjure up memories of quiet, genial Raymond. He found much delight in study, History and Civics being his specialty. Characteristically unassuming and modest, Raymond has not revealed his plans for the future, but the most intimate of his friends predict that he is a lad who will go far in the world of success. GEORGE JOSEPH BODO 84 Phillips Street Commercial Course George is a model outdoor boy who delights in sports of all kind—hunting, fishing, skating, etc. In his lessons he was an insistent plodder who made ‘‘good.”’ Addicted to the intricacies of Shorthand we suppose that his success in it was only indicative of the charms it held for him. George will go a long way a nd bring renown to S. B. H. S., and we of the Class of ’35 boast to be listed as his fellow classmates. ELAISE THERESE CAREY 247 River Street General Course Elaise has been a very zealous student and this is evident by the customary appearance of her name on the Honor Roll. As a French student she was one of the best, and her French accent was the envy of us all. As a member of the French Club, her efforts to enter- tain won always the greatest success. May that smile of yours, Elaise, be carried with you throughout future years. DOROTHY MARIE CARNEY 15 Holt Street General Course This blond, blue-eyed maiden joined our ranks in Senior year, and since her coming has made very little commotion. The possessor of a most delicately toned voice she drew us to her irresistibly by that womanly quality that Shakespeare so greatly admired. Our brief companionship makes us hesitant about saying fare- well, and we trust that Dorothy will not forget her friends at S. B. H. S. 14 EDMUND WILLIAM CARROLL 21 Elizabeth Street Classical Course Eddie’s many likeable characteristics have made him one of the most popular boys in the Senior Class. Al- though he is a good scholar he finds time for football, basketball, and skating which seem to be his favorites in the field of sports. Eddie is to continue his studies at college and if his career is a repetition of his high school days, he is assured of a mark that will put him in the honor class. Best of luck, Eddie. ELLEN WINIFRED CARROLL 21 Elizabeth Street General Course Her cheery word and merry laughter combined with a modulated seriousness made Ellen stand out in any group. Ever a loyal supporter of all school activities, sh e always lent a willing and helping hand when needed. As she plans to be a nurse we are sure that the patients will recover soon under the enervating influence of her cheerfulness. Best of luck, Ellen. CHARLES JAMES CASASSA 176 Myrtle Avenue Our Walking Dictionary! Charlie knows the Diction- ary from cover to cover and has made good use of his knowledge. His energy and capability stood out ad- mirably in his splendid work as Assistant Manager of the Year Book. He isa genial, friendly fellow and always ready for a good time. We do not know his plans for the future, but we are confident that he will be success- ful in whatever he attempts. The entire class joins in wishing you a long and prosperous life, Charlie. General Course FRANCES MARIE COMISKEY 124 Middle Street, Leominster General Course Frances, who has come to us every day from Leomin- ster is outstanding for her generosity and is always will- ing to lend a helping hand. She is one of those enviable to all, in spite of the fact that studies at times are tedious. Our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future are yours, Frances. 15 fe ae ea “a ad 296 Te - = RENE AIME CROTEAU 15 Broadway Street General Course After four years spent with Rene we have come to know just what a strong, quiet student he is. In place of athletics he dedicated his time to the pursuit of learn- ing.. We have ample testimony that his method proved efficacious. We know that his future will be happy, for he is a youth who will be faithful to the ideals of his school life and will never forswear them. CHARLES LYMAN CURTIS 77 Kirby Avenue, Whalom Technical Course “Curt’’ the boy from Whalom has been one of the most versatile members of our class. Aside from being captain of Basketball, a mainstay on the gridiron and a snappy fielder on the Baseball team he has found time to do his studying as well. He spends his spare time mak- ing up riddles and jokes with which to ‘“‘panic’’ his friends. We are sure that he will be successful in any branch of work in which he decides to labor, and that he will attain a goal worth striving for. Best of luck, Charlie. DOROTHY IRENE DAUPHINAIS 105 Appleton Circle General Course “Dot”’ is one of our companions from West Fitch- burg. She has made many friends and her spirit of fun has endeared her to all. She has done her work well and we believe that she will ever be loyal to the ideals of St. Bernard’s. Your class unites in wishing you good luck, Dorothy. ANGELA MARIE DEL BEATO 17 Third Street Classical Course There is hardly a better known member in the class than Angela. Her carefree, jovial countenance ever beamed upon us. Although a student in every sense of the word, she could always be counted on to be present when a good time was at hand. She is still undecided as to her future plans, but we feel sure that those from whom she is seeking a position will be won by her smiling countenance. Au revoir and not Adieu, Angela. 16 WILLIAM BERNARD DEMPSEY 14 Middle Street Classical Course Essentially a gentleman, this quality has gained for William many friendships to cherish in the future. Not the least but the greatest is in his comradeship with John, and it would be a most unusual occurrence to see the one without the other. A conscientious student William nevertheless was an ardent and loyal supporter of school athletics and socials. Cheerfulness, perseverance and loy- alty are his in the happiest possible degree, and we feel that in the distant future he will be the same William whom we liked so well at St. Bernard’s. JOHN MICHAEL DONLAN 17 Thomas Street Classical Course John, who boasts that he has four years of Latin behind him, is to be the M.D. of the Class of '35. He has been undoubtedly a good scholar of which the Honor Roll was a star witness. His willingness for work and his ready sense of humor have gained for him many friends. We hope he will continue to keep up the good work, for we know if there is a place for a real man in the world John cannot fail to attain it. MARY IRENE DOWER 18 Grafton Stret, Leominster Commercial Course “If you would reap praise you must sow the seeds,— gentle words and useful deeds.’’ We cannot say the exact amount of praise which Mary has won, but we are not at all hesitant about saying that she has sown the seeds ever since she stepped inside the portals of our high school. Her frank and open manner won us from the start, and seemed to reve al, time and time again, some new shade of merit in her character. Good luck, Mary, and keep up the good work. EVERETT JOSEPH DUPUIS 155 Fifth Street, Leominster Technical Course Here is a jovial, kind, and thorough gentleman whose outstanding scholastic attainments have brought him to the forefront. His unassuming dignity captivated us, and his true friendliness and loyalty from the beginning to end of high school days reminded us of the foundations of ancient Rome—deep and vast; but unlike Rome, in that his deep sincerity will never allow his friendships made at St. Bernard’s to crumble in ruins. Best of luck, Everett, and plenty of it. 17 ESTHER MARIE FITZPATRICK 351 Mechanic Street Classical Course Tessie’ was a general favorite. She was kind and pleasant towards everyone, and in return she gained the admiration of all. Her beaming smile is a dispenser of joy, and we hope that she will continue to display it when she pursues her studies in that profession that furnishes so many occasions for bestowing that bene- ficent good—a kindly smile. HELEN CATHERINE FLAHERTY 62 Marion Street General Course Did you ever hear a rippling jolly laugh ring out from the Class of '35? Yes,—that was Helen’s. Her ready wit won many friends for her, while her dancing and dramatic ability have often graced our weekly pro- grams. She was a member of the French Club and served on the Junior-Senior Entertainment Committee. In years to come the Class of ’35 will delight in recalling Helen’s many pleasant readings, not least among them “The Highway Man.” JOHN JOSEPH GREER 19 Fulton Street General Course Joe is a friend of friends, quiet, restrained and thoughtful, but full of ideal humor. He was a studious pupil who believed in the theory of work before play. As a member of the orchestra he was most outstanding for his faithful attendance, and for his earnestness in adding to the excellence of it. The Class of ’35 on part- ing from Joe, cannot but recall the words of Mark Antony: “‘He was a friend faithful and just to all.” MARY DOROTHY GRIFFIN 184 Ashburnham Street General Course Our dark-eyed little companion from West Fitchburg needs no credentials; she has aided and promoted good will in an unofficial capacity during four years at St. Bernard’s. Blessed with a sprightly and gay nature, she has often aided in enlivening and cheering the class, which feature has added to the number and depth of her friendships. Yours for unbounded success, Dorothy, is the reluctant leave-taking of the Class of 35. 18 FLORENCE GRIMLEY 175 Elm Street, Leominster General Course Although Florence is about the smallest member of our class we are all aware of her presence because of th fun she creates wherever she goes. She is called “Chickie’’ by most of her friends, no doubt because of her frolicsome performances. In all respects a determined and undemonstrative pupil, Florence, our little class- mate, is a girl of essential worth. JOHN ROBERT GUMBLETON 23 Hobson Street College Course John, our “‘Virgil’’ is a veritable champion of knowl- edge. He is usually found amid a group of enthusiastic Seniors discussing some pointed question of Civics, or wrestling with the intricacies of Math. As Manager of Athletics he scored a perfect record, and we all sincerely wish him every success for the future. MARGARET MARY GUMBLETON 23 Hobson Street Commercial Course Margaret is a curly haired, smiling student who has tripped faithfully every day from the hilly summits of the Southside to take her place in our midst. It is only now that we fully appreciate her companionship, and for it we would be willing to prolong our high school study. Judging from her classwork we assume that she has striven to live up to the sage remark of Franklin— “Do not squander Time for that’s the stuff life is made of.’ Here’s wishing you luck, success, and happiness, Margaret. DANIEL THOMAS HURLEY 215 Boutelle Street Classical Course That outwardly benign countenance hides beneath its calm exterior an indomitable thirst for knowledge and for fun. His various activities in the school in- cluded Football, Basketball,: and Orchestra. ‘‘Dint’’ plans to continue his studies, and we hope that his life then will be as pleasant as his days spent at St. Ber- nard’s. Good luck for the future, Danny. 19 KATHERINE ESTHER KEATING 359 Water Street General Course Our memoirs of high school days would never be complete without Katherine. Vivid recollections of merry hours stand out conspicuously in the mention of her name. She and Helen made certainly a delightful combination, and when their youthful exuberance over- flowed, it took more than the recess bell to quell their mirthful pranks, and produce the accustomed lull that precedes application to study. As our parting tribute she was a high-spirited girl and a real friend. PAUL WARREN KEATING 2 Brigham Park Technical Course Warren was one of our outstanding personalities. As a debater of note he has an unrivalled position, while in studies he was always a top-notcher without undue exertion. His interests lie in the realms of science, and some day when he has completed his higher technical education we expect to hear of Warren’s unheard-of discoveries in the field of research. Let us now offer this worthy graduate our wishes for a glorious career. MARY MARGARET KEENAN 16 Vernon Court General Course Petite and demure from Freshman days was Mary, nor did the dignity of Senior year change in the least this retiring little pupil from West Fitchburg. Attentive alike at all her lessons she ever sought the golden rule of work before pleasure, for which reason the Class rejoices in her companionship, and promises to share in her joy of future success. ‘THOMAS FRANCIS KELLEY 75 Granite Street General Course Tom is one member of the Class who studies, works, and has a general good time. He is popular among all his classmates and, in fact is a great favorite throughout the school. It is certain that Tom will reach his goal as surely as of old he labored with industry at St. Ber- nard’s High, 20 IRENE HELEN KURTYKA 42 Middle Street Commercial Course We will be very much surprised if any job ever proves too irksome for our laborious and industrious Irene. Her work, thanks to her efforts, has been suc- cessful, and nevertheless she has failed to show any evi- dence of undue strain. Following the line of procedure that she has already traversed in high school, Irene’s arrival at her goal is, to those who know her, practically an assured attainment. NORBERT FRANCIS LAFORTUNE 51 Mt. Vernon Street Commercial Course We have in Norbert an earnest participant in con- versation especially regarding sports and civics. His late arrival in Senior year in our midst prevented the usual length of acquaintance, but from our intercourse with him we have discovered a very good student. He is a genial, gracious sportsman and a most agreeable com- rade, from whom we must now take leave wishing him every success and blessing for the future. RITA IDA LAFORTUNE 51 Mt. Vernon Street Commercial Course St. Bernard’s was most fortunate in securing Rita as a pupil. It took us but a brief space to learn that here was a student who was dependable and trustworthy, one whose quiet culture was not openly displayed but nevertheless was truly characteristic. She was ever atten- tive to the preparation of class assignments, and bore the fitting reward of Honor Roll distinction. It would be hard to find another like Rita, one who has followed the middle path of gentle restraint and kindly friend- liness. MARIE COURTNEY LAVOIE 97Grand Street, Leominster Commercial Course In the past four years Marie, in her own little way, has endeared herself to all her classmates. Her sweetness and cheerfulness prove she has a kind, fun-loving nature, which will not fail to enhance her prospects in the busi- ness world where she is soon to enter, and where we hope she will be very successful. 21 EVELYN ANTOINETTE LEGER 32 Birch Street Commercial Course Our little rotund classmate never failed to cheer us with her good nature, and although she would prefer it, we should not like to see her lose in weight, lest she should not be the same Evelyn whose beaming smile was such an asset to the ranks of 35. Every success be yours, Evelyn, and do not forget in the future your friends Ofssaibe He RITA ANTONIA LEGROS 84 Columbus Street Commercial Course Rita is a quiet, gentle girl whose manner was ever gracious and well poised. Her constant and conscientious application to duty has given her a place among our honor students. Her achievements in Bookkeeping have been outstanding, and we only hope that a wise busi- ness man will recognize her worth, and give her a start in the business world which she so justly deserves. HELEN JANET MACKIE 38 Summer Street Commercial Course Here is a young lady of unquestioned merit and abil- ity. Prominent in social circles, Helen did not neglect the athletic activities in the school, for she was ever found a ready enthusiast, and for three seasons led the teams to victory as a cheerleader of note. Ever willing to help, and generous of her time, she will long be remembered as a loyal member of the Class of ’35. GEORGE ARTHUR MATHIEU 250 Franklin Road Commercial Course George was one of the finest musicians at St. Ber- nard’s, He also took prominent part in numerous social activities connected with the school. In general, he was quiet and reserved, but was ever ready to step forward and assist when an occasion offered, and we will always remember him as a genial dispenser of hospitality, a smile on his face, a friendly greeting on his lips, and a welcoming hand outstretched. 22 HELEN RITA MCANEANY 21 Franklin Street Commercial Course It would be a difficult task to enumerate the pleasing qualities of this little Senior. She was an enthusiastic aide and buoyant participant in whatever activities the high school placed her. We hope that she will meet with as much success in the future as she has in the past. Best wishes, Helen, from all your classmates. LILLIAN JULIA MCCARTY 97 Priest Street, Leominster Classical Course Despite many and varied outside activities, Lil always had her lessons well prepared. She ever possessed vigor, perseverance, and self-sacrifice, requisites for a successful student. It demands no stretch of the imagination to pic- ture Lillian in the golden future as a wide-awake, active Catholic and a credit to St. Bernard’s High. ELEANOR GERTRUDE MCCARTHY 107 Summer Street Classical Course During her high school career Eleanor has been a friend to everybody. Although her marks show that she has pursued her studies faithfully, we have yet to see her when she was not ready for fun, or for any diver- sion worthy of the name. Always reliable when a task required real determination, Eleanor was often called upcen and never failed to respond. Modest as she was, her cuiet depth of seriousness was hidden in her devo- tion to school and class work. All of us vouch for the prediction that Eleanor will be a success and a credit to St. Bernard's. MARY CATHERINE MCGRATH 127 Laurel Street - Commercial Course From the exuberant freshness of the Southside has come every day for four years a modest lass in quest of knowledge. Now that her quest has been fulfilled she is ready to face the world with all confidence. It is the business field wherein she intends to labor, and as she leaves we say: ‘“‘May unlimited success and happiness be yours in the future, Mary.” 23 bie oll a se ‘ ‘ aI BARBARA MARGARET MCGURN 79 Walnut Street Commercial Course It takes an unusual girl to be tactful and forceful at once. We can say no more of Barbara than that she went through her four years without the slightest friction, and with the ever present assistance of tact and poise. Her gentle voice will long echo in our ears, and we hope she will be the recipient of boundless luck in the years to come. ELEANOR ANNE MCHUGH 12 Cleveland Street General Course It is only natural that the Senior Class should unite in praising Eleanor. A chubby maid of good nature she simply radiated friendliness and cheer. The General ranks have no more faithful member than Eleanor, and we trust that as a result her future career in the busi- ness world will be one of note. MARY ALICE MCINERNEY 2 Weymouth Street General Course Mary’s twinkling orbs are indicative of her sprightly humor and determined will. She was frequently strug- gling with the last bell in the morning when sometimes she won out, but on many occasions the last bell was the victor. Mary’s mastery of this difficulty shows her future tendencies. She will rise and conquer, and make a great success of life. Go to it, Mary. We are all with you. RITA JOAN MCKEARIN 16 Marion Street Classical Course Rita combines a sincere interest in her studies with a personality of rare charm and appeal. Her loyalty, frankness, sympathy, and gaiety have won the respect and affection of her classmates. These qualities will re- main as a pleasant memory to her friends here, and they will aid her to make her future at Emmanuel, and in later life, a friendly and successful one. 24 ELEANOR FRANCES MERRICK 97 Harrison Street, Leominster Classical Course A friendly, genial manner has characterized Eleanor, throughout our four years’ acquaintance. She displayed great enthusiasm as a member of both French and Latin Clubs, and the various social activities of the school. Although her future plans are hidden from us, we feel sure that she will enjoy a most prosperous life, and will always be happy in recalling her pleasant sojourn at her Alma Mater. ELIZABETH ANN MORAN 21 Holt Street Classical Course It would be difficult to imagine Betty to be down- hearted. Although experiencing the very great sorrow of being deprived of both father and mother during Junior year—a circumstance in which we heartily sympathized with her—she ever showed herself courageous and womanly. She has two predominant hobbies—big dogs and little dogs. Ever gracious in doing favors and essen- tially likeable, Elizabeth has held and always will hold a high place in our affection. RUTH MARGARET MORIARTY 15 Henry Street General Course Ruth is preéminently the fun-loving spirit of our class. She is always seen with either Helen or Ellen. Whenever she is absent the whole class is quiet, and her companions seem to be lonesome. She has, however, never let her fun-making interfere with her studies for she has always been an A-1 student. We all wish you every success in the future, Ruth. IRENE HELEN MORIN 53 Granite Street Commercial Course Irene was so retiring and reserved that we could scarcely say anything about her were it not for her win- some smile. Then, too, there was her enviable record as a pursuer of the Commercial Course. Her name was continuously on the Honor Roll and we are confident that if she continues the same assiduous attention to duty, a fine future will be hers. 25 ‘a: he oe 4 PATE Withee “ 7, 4 ss ee a Petal Sere Re ME WALTER JOSEPH MORSE 6 Fourth Street, Leominster Commercial Course Walter, a veritable giant both physically and in the powers of persuasion, has furthermore, as violinist, given his faithful services to the school orchestra. Foot- ball appealed to him, but he excelled in debating. We, of the Senior Class extend our heartfelt appreciation for the unselfish labor with which he played his part in the different activities of the school during his four years. May Dame Fortune smile benignantly on this worthy graduate of our Alma Mater. ALFRED JOHN MURPHY 99 Temple Street Classical Course Alfred is one of these rare individuals who can make life worth while. No matter what the circumstances may be he can adapt himself to the situation, and in some mysterious fashion make the worst appear the best. While many wonder and Alfred denies any knowledge of the trait, those who know him can readily give the answer. It is the result of a nature that can see nothing but the good around it. May you continue, Alfred, to practise this same trait as a student at Holy Cross. WILLIAM O'CONNOR 200 Charles Street Classical Course William is a young man of fine stature, a splendid student, and a pleasant companion. He was for four years an outstanding athlete, Captain of the 1934 Foot- ball Team, a three-letter man, and the bulwark of St. Bernard’s defense in all sports. For all his size he is a quiet, self-composed young person with outstanding qualities of kindness and generosity. Good luck for the future, William. MARGUERITE THERESA O'DONNELL 11 Whitmore Street, Leominster General Course Rita has come from Leominster every day for four years to swell our ranks at St. Bernard's. At the same time meek and imperative, she was always solicitous for her friends, and ever ready to defend their interests. We do not know what her future plans are, but we are all confident that she will be successful and happy. 26 MARTHA LOUISE O’NEIL 174 Highland Avenue General Course Here is a member of one of the most delightful quartets of the school. With Mary, Kitty, and Betty, Martha forms an unusual grouping of girls, at an age when whims and fancies run high, and prevent the stability of such friendships. So far the chums have been inseparable and we only hope that the simplicity and charm of Martha’s school days will hover about her in the future, and add much to her happiness. BEATRICE JOSEPHINE PADULA 16 Boyle Court General Course If Beatrice had never become a member of our class we might not have noticed that we missed a worthy personality, but since we have met her, we realize that without her we would have truly lacked an important cog in the wheel of our high school career. Cheerful and pleasant this diminutive Miss lightened the cares and anxieties of those pupils with whom she came in contact, and the remembrance of her genial influence will long prevail after her departure from St. Bernard's. LEONARD HUDSON PAIGE 24 Norwood Ave., No. Leominster Technical Course Wisdom and sagacity prevail in the well formed char- acter of Leonard. Doing homework during recess ac- counts for his solitude at times, but it is no indication that Leonard is a solitary or anything like one. His business activities outside of school hours account for the necessity of his recess procedure. His obliging man- ner and generosity in the use of his “‘chevy’’ for school activities will be long remembered and appreciated, and we hope that he will be rewarded by an unusual success in the field of business. ADOLPHUS JOSEPH PETEKIVICZ 28 Institute Street Commercial Course We have in Adolphus a fine stalwart, strapping chap and a smiling, happy youth. This is how he came to us in 1931, and after four years of arduous work he is leaving still smiling and happy. The years of strenu- ous study did not bother Adolphus even though he had to maintain and uphold the high standards of his class. We do not know his plans, but we are certain that if he continues along the same path success and universal success will be his. 27 CHARLES BERNARD PIERCE 100 Maverick Street General Course “Red” has always been just on time for school al- though he lives only about a two minutes’ walk from the school. Quiet and unassuming he has made his way through school acquiring many new friends along with keeping the old ones. He has always done well in his studies and although we do not know his inten- tions for the future we are sure he will be a success, and we trust that he will not forget his comrades at Sask YVONNE ESTHER POULIN 143 Fourth Street, Leominster Commercial Course Sincerity, loyalty and helpfulness are only a few of Yvonne's attributes. For four years her smile and pleas- ant manner have won for her the esteem of all her classmates. Her achievements along commercial lines have been unparalleled in the history of the school, and the Class of ’35 is confident of her future success. CATHERINE ELIZABETH PYNE 32 Fulton Street General Course Betty's keen blue eyes and warm smile are among her external charms, but what shall we say of her many other qualities that have so endeared her to the Class. Ever willing to assist in any undertaking, she was a valuable asset to the Class of ’35 who offers her its sincere thanks and God's blessing for the future. PHILIP FRANCIS RAGUSA 7 Young’s Road, Lunenburg General Course Phil, a steady, quiet chap, was ever engaged in his school work and its success. Such characterization is invariably given only to those who are held in the high- est esteem, and Philip is no exception to that rule. As far as the worries of books were concerned, Philip was an academic oracle, Whatever activity he joined found him a diligent worker and thus we know Success will be his, for it is the keynote of loyalty and courage such as his. 28 MARGARET ELIZABETH RAHER 9 Winter Street, Leominster Commercial Course It is not easy, indeed, to pick out the qualities that make Margaret, our little friend from Leominster, the admired classmate that she is. It is mainly the fact that she is Margaret, the silent and unobtrusive little per- son, that has brought her so much popularity and friendship. Liked and respected she has ever shared our joys and sorrows, and is as much appreciated now as at the start, for her tact, geniality, and ability. HELEN ANN RAIMON 29 Belmont Street General Course Helen and the Honor Roll were pals and met every few months. She came from that part of our illustrious city known as Albee Hill where she and the sunshine were rivals. As a member of General Course, she has fitted herself well for her future career, at which time we sincerely hope that she will have her full share of happiness and success. LEO JOSEPH RHEAULT 227 Spruce Street, Leominster Classical Course Noble stature and mobile countenance go far in mak- ing Leo the attractive youth that he is. He has many noteworthy attainments to his credit among them be- ing his Baseball successes. As a member of the picture committee for the Year Book he showed taste and good judgment, while his unquestioned generosity of his services was most distinctive. With his happy optimistic outlook, Leo will surely go far in life where sincerity and straightforwardness, such as his, will doubtless meet with appreciation. WILLIAM JOHN ROBERTS 121 Myrtle Avenue Technical Course It seems to us that Bill’s wit is never exhausted, and we have yet to see him without that continual smile. Although books do not seem to worry Bill, he has made a good record during his four years. As Assistant Manager of our Year Book he has shown his aptitude for hard work, and willing co-operation, which went a great way toward the unusual success of that enterprise. May your eagerness and buoyancy never flag, amid the many activities of your future career. 29 JOSEPH AIME ROBILLARD Westminster Classical Course Aime is a sturdy representative of Westminster of whom the Class of '35 is justly proud. He was a re- markable Football player and a type of young man noted for honesty and upright loveness. He came to St. Bernard’s as a sophomore and soon revealed himself as an intelligent young lad. In his Senior Year he shone as one of the School's best debaters. The Class of °35 wishes him every success and will not forget him as star violinist of the orchestra. PASQUALE FRANCIS ROSETTI 92 Heywood Street General Course During these years of depression and want, Pasquale has managed to hold his own among the weightier peo- ple in America. As a member of the Class of '35 Patsy takes away with him a large “‘slice’’ of good fellowship and joviality which is so prevalent among the students of St. Bernard’s. He is also a remarkable athlete, since in Football his defense has proved impenetrable to many a sorrowing combatant. The Class of '35 bids him a fond goodbye, and gives its heartiest good wishes for a bright future. RAYMOND GEORGE ROY 2 Whitney Avenue General Course Ray is one of those unassuming students who for that very reason is noticed the more. Generosity and kindness are great virtues and Ray possesses them to an almost unbelievable degree. For the pa st four years he has been a quiet but staunch and loyal attendant at St. Bernard’s, and we feel certain that his loyalty will con- tinue and remain his outstanding characteristic in his future life. ANTHONY JOSEPH STEPANOVICZ 29 Third Street General Course “Tony’’ is one of the members of our class who is noted for his excellent handwriting. He has done splen- did work in various school activities. He is a fine friend and good companion, as his friends will testify. Always an ideal student, he departs from us with many wishes for a bright and prosperous future. 30 MARY ELIZABETH SHEA 70 East Street Classical Course Not only has Mary’s ability placed her among our best students, but her pleasing personality has won for her the high esteem of us all. At the Latin and French Clubs we were privileged to see her worth and we know her capabilities will insure for her a happy and sus- cessful future in whatever field she may decide to enter. ALICE JEAN SPEARS 10 Mayland Street Commercial Course Jean certainly lives to the well known adage that valuable things come in small packages. She has come from West Fitchburg daily, and has performed her duties so well that she ranks among the high honor pupils. With scholarship of such high rating one might question Jean’s social qualities, but the doubt is cast aside after five minutes’ conversation with the genial, brown-eyed maiden of the Class of ‘35. RITA STARR STANLEY 120 Granite Street General Course Rita, that girl with the friendly smile and the merry twinkle in her eye! Her cheerful disposition and willing- ness to help others have endeared her to all. She has achieved much success in her studies and when she enters the field of nursing, we know she will be as greatly admi red and valued as she has been here with us. Best wishes, Rita. CONSTANCE MARY SUTTON 110 Myrtle Avenue Commercial Course We have in Constance an outstanding example of modesty. When praise is bestowed upon her, she at- tempts to change the subject, or if this be impossible, the only alternative is to accept it modestly. Never have we heard her speak ill of anyone, and often she has main- tained silence rather than approve ill-spoken words of a friend. She lends support to all branches of athletics, and certainly has added to the general pleasure of the Class of ’35. We hope her future will be as worthy of mention as her days in High School. 31 SAMUEL JOSEPH TASKA 21 Hale Street General Course As an actor, Sam certainly has the ability. In view of his excellent demonstrations in dramatics the role of an actor would certainly suit him. The generosity with which he served as a member of the Entertainment Com- mittee for the Senior Reception was greatly to his credit. His presence, be it where it may, always foreshadows the presence of “‘Patsy’’ his intimate and jovial friend. Regarding his future plans, little is known, but if his short career here means anything he will be a huge suc- cess. Best of luck, ‘‘Sam.”’ MARY EVA TAYLOR 90 Rollstone Street Commercial Course Mary, our brunette from the Southside, strove always it seems to keep in the background, but that did not prevent us from noting her worth, and seeking as much as possible to enjoy her pleasant companionship. Her soft, musical voice was heard most often in class reci- tations, but frequently when with her intimate friends, her light gay laughter resounded through the corridor. Keep your naive and gay sincerity, Mary. They will carry you far in life. ALBERTINA MATHILDA THIBODEAU 84 Columbus Street Commercial Course Albertina is one of our pupils who came a long dis- tance to school every morning, and despite the distance was always prompt. Another quiet and reserved mem- ber of the class, she nevertheless, revealed a delightful Vivacity at the right moment. Her special interest was the Commercial department where we feel she fully pre- pared herself for a splendid career in business life. The Class of '35 wishes her every success in the future. ROGER JOSEPH VAILLETTE 224 Sixth Street, Leominster Commercial Course Gifted with a keen sense of humor Roger had a genius for pertinent observation and witty repartee. Genial, friendly, yet capable he was a favorite with everyone. His dialogue presentations on the stage are unforgettable memories, and his ready and obliging per- sonality will long be remembered by his classmates of °35. Wish you all the luck in the world, Roger. 32 JENNIE DOROTHY VIGGIANO 46 Spruce Street Commercial Course Jennie made a late, but nevertheless most welcome entrance to our midst in Junior year. In years to come the name of Jennie will always be linked with a certain dig- nity, affability and courteousness of disposition that have evinced themselves during her stay with us. As a typist, she has few peers, and when she comes into her own in the realm of business, we know a successful future awaits her. ERNEST HENRY VOWLES Lunenburg Commercial Course Ernest’s youthful shyness has developed into an at- tentive personality accompanied by a sincere smile which has gained for him the confidential friendship of his classmates. His earnestness and ability were seen to great advantage in his dramatic activities especially the Christ- mas Play. We are assured that he has benefited by his sojourn at St. Bernard’s, and will always be a true exponent of her standards in all his future undertakings. BARBARA FRANCES WALSH 8 Cross Street General Course Smiling her way through the difficulties inherent in student life, Barbara has been a quality to marvel at and admire. After a splendid start in Freshman year she has sped on through the four years with an insistent application to study that has brought her unrivaled success. We valued Barbara not only for her scholar- ship, but also for her friendliness and geniality, and feel assured that opportunity will ever find her ready. CATHERINE EILEEN WALSH 98 Myrtle Avenue Classical Course If ever a pupil brightened the hours of her class- mates; if ever there was a humorist who was always good-natured, always cheerful—then it was our Kitty. A’ few days of acquaintance with her made us feel, thanks to her friendliness, that we had been companions for years. She has kept and added to this fe eling all through our four years, for which reason we now dis- like the idea of parting, and trust that many occasions of renewing our friendship will occur in the future. 33 EILEEN MARY WALSH 11 Doane Street General Course Typical of people of her size Eileen has ever radi- ated cheerfulness, happiness, and peace. She was ever alert to the announcements of vacation but once in school she was a faithful worker, reliable friend, cheerful neighbor, and pleasant classmate. Don’t forget, Eileeen, “Hide not your talents, they for use were made,’’ and thus enable us to be proud of your achievements. MARY MADELINE WALSH 126 Lawrence Street Classical Course Mary has worked faithfully during her four years of high school, and her name has always been found grac- ing the High Honor Roll. She was always eager to ren- der service on needed occasions, and because of her courteous manner has secured many friends. We all trust, that with such a splendid record, there is a bright and happy future in store for Mary. RITA ELIZABETH WENZEL 124 North Street General Course Rita came to us in the Junior Year and immediately became a real member of our class. Though quiet and dignified her gentle smile has made her a delightful com- panion. We are unaware of her future plans but we wish her success in whatever field of activity she may participate. In Memoriam JENNIE SANTONOCETO Though modest and retiring in disposition, she was ever distinguished by an eagerness to help, a des ire to do her part, and a loyalty to her classmates and school. The Class of 1935 sincerely mourns her loss. 34 To Restore All Things In Christ With the march of modern science which has been steadily going on for many years past, came also the modern trend of materialism and all its relative errors. [his of itself did not result from scientific discovery, for science in all its phases does but reveal more clearly the handiwork of the Divine Artisan. It was man’s own wilful neglect to see God in all his creation, and his turning away from that great vital force called religion, and seeking his satisfaction in his own poor self-sufficiency, that has begot that baneful development of modernism. The Church, ever a watchful mother, foresaw the harm that was steadily growing, and always alert to the needs of her children, sought to effectively ward off the impending danger. We recall that as far back as the time of Pope Pius [X the Church was combating the new enemy as evidenced by the issuing in 1864 of the Encyclical, “Syllabus Errorum’”’ against modern errors. Then following him came the gifted Leo XIII who with masterful force, dignity, and success pleaded the cause of the working man in his ever memorable encyclical on Christian Democracy which is so often quoted today in the still harassing question regarding the rights of the working man, and place in the world. In the reign of the saintly Pius X we find Modernism rampant with all the errors of Kant and the Rationalists. The humble shepherd of the faithful in his struggle with this and other evils of his time chose for his motto — ‘’To restore all things in Christ.’’ At the present time perhaps he is most remembered by the singular way in which he attacked the foe, and at the same time drew the faithful closer to God. It was his decree on Holy Communion. That was the great source whence he drew the force necessary to conquer the enemies of Christ, so that now we say of Pius X that he did restore all things in Christ. Today the battle is still raging. The enemy has sought a new point of attack — the destruction of social morality. In his rage to undo the work of Christ he leaves no approach untried, and so the dangers surrounding the youth- ful graduate of our time are immeasurably increased. ‘That was the reason, no doubt, why the Class of ’35 chose for its motto — ‘“To Restore All Things in 35 Christ.’” The Seniors fully realize the dangers that are awaiting them in the world, and thus as a bulwark in their defence, they chose the stirring watchword of the Vicar of Christ. Great, worthy achievements await our young Catholic graduates especially through the institution of ‘‘Catholic Action’’ which is so earnestly fostered by our great and holy Pontiff, Pius XI. William O’Connor NEY NV The Future O, Father Time to what goal do you tend? What is the path for me that you decree? My high school work is o’er, and now you send Me forth it seems upon a shoreless sea; O, that the day had past when I must choose That unknown way, so fraught with pending fears! When darkness lowers upon my earthly cruise, | And [I uncertain view the future years; But should I worry what the future sends, Be it great joy, or sorrow, work or pain? In every life much joy with sorrow blends, The worthy use of which is all the gain; But here I find one oft’ consoling thought, God always leads the way if truth is sought. John Gumbleton 36 The members of the Class of 1935 take this oppor- tunity of extending most heartfelt thanks to their Faculty, the Sisters of the Presentation, for all their self-sacrifictng labors tn their behalf. The memory of their loving counsels, thoughtful guidance, and tender care will ever re- main in the hearts of the Graduates of 1935; while the example of their unselfish, tireless lives, devoted to the welfare of their pupils will, in future years, stand out as an inspiration to nobler heights. aT Class Poem ‘Linger a while, dear classmates, And let your memory dwell, How swiftly have passed our bright school days, Those memories we all love so well. Linger a while, dear classmates, Think of the days that are past, Some filled with gladness and sorrow, And friendships that ever will last. Linger a while, dear classmates, A short while before we part, Away from our school and our friendships So near and so dear to our heart. We are henceforth to challenge the future With all its great joy, and its strife, May we all find success and good fortune, As we journey the highway of life. Helen Mackie 38 1931 - 1935 39 j , ” oan . neal a = Na vi “4 “2 , Cy nee y i = Class History Did you hear that whiz-z-z and burr-r-r-r? How loud it was and near! Oh, there it is. What a mighty plane and big! Thus might be heard the eager observer when somehow, as if by magic, the gigantic plane with the frolicsome Class of ’35 whizzed through the upper air. It was a glorious morning in early September, 1931. No cloud dimmed the deep azure above, and with unseen but masterful skill the pilot gently sloped the huge machine to its appointed land- ing — St. Bernard’s beautiful athletic field. Out bounced, and jumped, and scrambled a happy crowd, a hundred strong, who with buoyant strides soon reached the high school building on Harvard Street. A gracious and cordial reception awaited the newcomers, and amid much enthusiasm they were assigned to their respective classes. After a period of trials and difficulties the zealous freshmen became acclimated to their new surround- ings, and life went on at a serene and pleasant pace. The events were such as occur in the freshman life of every student except for two outstanding events. The first was the privilege of these young enthusiasts to welcome to their midst Reverend William Mulcahy as their new principal. On account of illness he was unable to be with them in September, and the prolonged anticipation heightened their delight, and possibly added to their love and esteem which made Father Mulcahy’s stay among them an unforgettable term of happiness and good will. The second event of importance was ‘‘Vaccinations wholesale.’’ Owing to the outbreak of a smallpox epidemic the entire school had to be vaccinated, and not least among the students did the lively freshmen enjoy the thrill of the unexpected episode. Nothing after that experience could excite too greatly their mirth until the warmth and roses of June brought the looked-for summer vaca- tion. When September came again a sturdy band of Sophomores with ranks un- depleted adorned two spacious rooms on the upper floor. A year had made a great difference in these young lives. It was with a sagacity unusual for their age that they listened to the various lectures delivered in the auditorium. Outstand- ing am ong these was Father Hurley’s annual talk on the foreign missions, and also the interesting explanation of the Mass delivered by Father Reilly, a close friend of Father Mulcahy. The Christmas program of this year was an unpara- lelled success, and all left for the Christmas holidays imbued with the spirit of the Christ Child as revealed in the Christmas play. Basketball and Baseball were important activities of this period and the hardy young Sophs lustily cheered on the teams to victory. hen as usual came the lull of the summer vacation. When the next Fall united the students again, what a crowd of jolly Juniors thronged the school! They were gradually breaking away from the childish pranks of the younger pupils, and were assuming the more dignified role of the upper classmen. What a host of activities marked this delightful year! It began with the thrills of Football, soon it was the Thanksgiving Social, and before long the beautiful strains of the Christmas music made each heart jubilant on wit- nessing the annual Christmas Play entitled, “The inker.’’ About this time they wisely and sagaciously chose their Class Officers, and on all sides were warmly congratulated for their judicious choice: namely, Raymond Twining as President; Dorothy Taylor, Vice-President; Anna Lipniskas as Secretary; and Joseph Kivlehan as Treasurer. ; Following in quick succession occurred the Diocesan Debates in which the boys gave their usual display of talent and merit. About this time an unlooked- for vacation was added to the customary mid-year one after the strenuous days of mid-year examinations. The cause of this unexpected pleasure was an epidemic of measles which was ravaging the city at the time. 40 _ Soon the lazy days of spring made the jolly Juniors glow with a joyous anticipation — the reception that they planned to tender the Seniors. Great preparations were made, and under the able direction of Charles Curtis the com- mittees worked effectively so that the event turned out to be the best ever. It was their closing triumph of the year, and often since the pleasures and delights of that gathering have been the topic of conversation. Another September had come again — the eventful one of 1934, for be- hold the one-time freshmen have reached the zenith of their high school course in the privileged title of Senior. Father Time spares no one, and so he acted now in the departure of our beloved Principal, Rev. Father Mulcahy. However loath the Seniors were to let him go, still they rejoiced with him in his promotion from the rank of curate to that of Pastor of St. Roch’s at Oxford. Reverend Father Carroll succeeded Father Mulcahy and has in his kindly interest and endeavors been warmly supported by the student body. A certain feeling of loneliness pervaded the otherwise happy Senior year. It was of course, the foreshadowing of the parting of the ways. In spite of this the Seniors thoroughly enjoyed the various activities especially the Hallowe’en a Football season, Christmas entertainment, and the Washington Birthday ance. With the coming of the holy season of Lent an unforgettable treat was in store for the student body in a series of Lenten talks delivered by Reverend Father Carroll. He spared no pains in recounting the minutest details, and the events of our Lord’s Passion were so vividly portrayed and clearly explained, that the entire Senior Class was not only greatly impressed, but forcibly moved to cultivate a great love for our suffering Savior. At the approach of Easter thoughts turned wistfully toward graduation, and as such events make the mind reminiscent the Seniors of 1935 were no ex- ception. Emotions stirred their hearts, but dominating all was their intense gratitude to their beloved Pastor, Monsignor Donnelly; to their kind Principal, Father Carroll; to their loving parents; and to their devoted teachers, the Sisters of the Presentation. To each and all, they poured forth their hearts’ sincerest thanks, and prayed God to bless abundantly those loving ones who had enabled them to secure such an abundant store of true and worthwhile learning. Once again the loud whizzing reports, and the puff of an engine announced the final act, Graduation is over, high school days are over, and the Class of ’35 must embark once more on a more momentous journey — The Journey through life to eternity. GRADUATION Graduation day so long awaited Has come for our dear class, What memories hover round us! How fast the years did pass. In these dear halls in years now past Good times we had in work and play, Though now we note the fleeting hours We often longed for this great day. Dear school, our home for four short years, From you we soon shall part, But filial bonds to you will bind us, And ever guide each grateful heart. Ruth Moriarty 41 St. Bernard’s High School Fitchburg, Mass. April 26, 1935 REVEREND WILLIAM L. MULCAHY St. Roch’s Rectory Oxford, Massachusetts Dear Reverend Father: As our school year is gradually drawing to an end, and graduation is close upon us, we extend to you our cordial greetings and best wishes. In behalf of the Class of 35, I wish to express to you, their and my sincere appreciation for all your labors among us during the three years preceding our Senior term. We enjoyed studying under your guidance, and the memory of your friendship will linger in our hearts always. We will ever consider you one of our sincere friends, and trust that your recollections of us will be most pleasant, and that amid your busy, happy years of pastorate you will remember with affection and prayer the Senior Class of 1935. Respectfully yours, I) fee Zaymond Twining President of the Class of ’35 42 ACTIVITIES 43 Socials During Senior Year During our Senior year several socials have been conducted with great suc- cess. Ihe students in large numbers codperated with the different committees and made each event a source of great pleasure and enjoyment. Chief among these was the Hallowe’en Party, the Football Dance held during the Thanksgiving holidays, and the Washington Birthday social which brought to a close the mid- year season of festivities because of the Holy Season of Lent. For all of these our gymnasium was prettily decorated in keeping with the occasion of the social. The Senior participations in assembly programs during the past year were most ably rendered, and at the same time most entertaining. Aside from the sev- eral debates in which the Senior oratorical powers were unrivaled, the following plays gave undisputed evidence of the Senior talent. The Burial Scene from Julius Caesar The Bellman of Mons Nerves iw is an: anted —a Turkey Thanksgiving Plays (A Thanksgiving Mistake A Little Mistake Thanks Awfully Pearls The Christmas holidays were ushered in this year by the most successful of programs. The songs and hymns, appropriate for the season, served to en- hance the significance of the annual Play entitled ‘‘Christmas Destiny’’ which proved most entertaining, and at the same time productive of those wistful mem- ories that always hover around the Crib of Bethlehem. A special feature of the program was the rendering by the School ensemble of the beautiful ordination hymn, ‘Tu es Sacerdos,”’ in commemoration of the forty-third anniversary of the ordination of our beloved Pastor, Monsignor Donnelly. Among the guests present were the curates of the parish and Reverend Mother M. Helena, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the splendid program.

Madame Fashion is busy engineering new modes and fashions in which to array her, and literature and dramatics serve to sing her praises and reveal her charms. g It was not always the young girl graduate who was feted and feasted; rather it was her brother, supposedly more intelligent, and capable of mastering the arts and sciences, who was held up as the quintescence of ideal youth. The young girl was relegated to the culinary department, and it was not thought expedient for her to enter the realms of knowledge. Perhaps no greater champion of the higher education of women has lived than John Ruskin who in his beautiful lecture “On Queens’ Gardens’’ pleaded the intellectual cause of the English maiden. Today the case is quite the contrary. Woman has come into her own, and possibly too much so. In every sphere of public and business life she stands forth the equal of man, and has even entered the ranks of government, so that now we have female representatives in the most important official positions. In view of these radical changes that have come over the world, what should be the sentiments of the young girl graduate from a Catholic high school? She must realize that she is about to step into a sphere that is for the most part in con- tradiction to the principles taught her in her secondary education. What course is she to follow? The easier is to glide on with the current, and drift along with the majority, but in her God-given Faith she knows this is not the course to pur- sue. She must stand firm for the tenets of her Religion, and reveal loyalty, cour- age, and conviction in maintaining her course. To do this she need not assume the offensive, but rather through her uprighteousness of life show forth the sweet-. ness of the yoke of Christ’s Church, and in this way draw souls to the fold of the true faith, rather than repel them from it. In maintaining and pursuing such a worthwhile mission our young gradu- ate does not rely on herself, or think her strength sufficient to labor in such a cause. She keeps close to Christ by receiving Him often in the Sacrament of His love; she ever cherishes a tender love and devotion for His Blessed Mother, and in con- sequence she is never guilty of any act unbecoming a child of such a mother. Thus by her sweet and virtuous life, the Catholic Girl Graduate fulfills a sublime mis- sion, and makes the world of her day a better place in which to live. Mary Walsh 49 Biography of the Class of ’35 We entered as meek little ‘‘Freshies’’ Prepared to live and to learn And gazed with awe at the Seniors Who seemed so strict and so stern. We came back again as the Sophomores But soon we were found to come round To work and to labor and study Because of the knowledge we'd found. We reported once more as the Juniors With plans and endeavors — our best To help us in facing the future To encounter and pass the test. And then came our turn as the ‘‘Seniors’’ What days that so swiftly passed by! It seemed that we could not bear it To part from our dear old High. Now, some will soon enter college While others at some work will strive But always with honor and loyalty pledge As the Seniors of thirty-five. Eleanor McCarthy 50 ATHLETICS ATHLETICS Athletic Director—REV. FATHER DONOHUE The past season of Football was one of hard fought battles for the Varsity Squad. They did not chalk up as many victories as in previous years, but this was due in large measure to the illness and the injuries of several members who were consequently disabled and barred from participation in many of the games. Coach Tarpey staged a splendid line, but was often handicapped at the critical time by the changes necessitated through the illness of some of the boys. The squad, how- ever, made a splendid showing, and hopes for next year are very high even with the ranks depleted by the departure of Captain O'Connor, and the other Senior mettle which added such force to the squad.

Ruth Moriarty 56 TO OUR PRINGCIFAS Here’s a friend we all appreciate For his lectures each Thursday at half- past eight. His work with us is for God on high; So that’s the reason on him we rely. It’s he who heads our splendid school, And where can we find a better to rule? His is a task to guide us with care, To help us greatly in God’s grace to share. There are many principals throughout this land, Who labor well with a firm hand. But we are thankful that ours is he Whom God has chosen our principal to be. Ernest Vowles TO OUR COACH We've got a fellow at St. Bernard's High And I think you'll find he’s a regular guy. His name is Joe but he’s not slow, For his fast teams have something to show. The boys all like him so they say, For in athletics he leads the way. In every sport his teams come through, And if they don’t he won't blame you. All he says is twas a better téam, But next time see we'll beat them clean. So you can see from what I've told, That he’s a coach with a heart of gold. Ernest Vowles HUMOR William—Say what kind of soup is this? Waiter—Chicken soup, sir. William—lI haven't found any chicken in it. Waiter—Sure, sir, and there is no horse in horseradish, either. George—A penny for your thoughts, Pal. Walter—What do you think I am, a slot machine? George—Well, you sound like one. Charles—Say where did you get so many freckles? Joseph—I was sunburned through a screen door. Siste-—How many beats does the heart make a minute? Helen—lIt all depends on whom you're with. Everett—Why does he close his eyes when he sings? Ruth—Because he doesn’t want to see us suffer. Father—Johnny, what is this ‘‘60’’ doing on your report? Johnny—I—I think that’s the temperature of the classroom. Professor—Do you think paper can be used effectively to keep people warm? Raymond—I should say so! My last report card kept the family hot for a week. Teacher—What’s water composed of? Etleen—T wo parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen. Rita—Isn't there any water at all? Eddie—You won't catch me working for Smith’s again in a hurry. Danny—Why not? Eddie—Because of a remark he made. Danny—A remark? Eddie—Yes—He said to me, You're Fired! Mary—There’s one thing | admits about ‘‘Joe,’’ he throws himself into anything he under- takes. Martha—I wish he’d go dig himself a well. Willte—Do you like to play with blocks? Leo—wNo I've passed out of that stage, why? Willie—Why then, do you keep scratching your head? Teacher—Why don’t you answer my question? George—I shook my head. Teacher—That doesn’t mean a thing. George—Can’t you tell by the rattle? Charles—I say, I have tickets for the theatre. Esther—Splendid, IJ’ll start dressing. Charles—Do, they’re for tomorrow night. Judge—For the crime which you have committed, you shall tie a rope around your neck, with the other end tied to a limb of a tree and then jump. Prisoner—lI'll be hanged if I do. Father—When I was your age, son, I was glad to get dry bread to eat. Bright Child—You're much better off, now, that you are living with us, aren’t you daddy? =i Past and Future So here we are a merry band, A group that’s all alive, We starred in all St. Bernard's sports, The Class of Thirty-five. Our past and future here you see, Whence we much joy derive, The thrills and pleasures so loved by The Class of Thirty-five. Our baseball fame you must admit Will many years survive, While football won the palm for all The Class of Thirty-five. And basketball with glory crowned Our well-coached team of five, So thus you see great praise is due The Class of Thirty-five. These cartoons are but a device, Our past joys to revive, Thus may the future years delight The Class of Thirty-five. 58 Teacher—Name one kind of organ. Patsy—tThe teeth. Teacher—What kind of organ is that? Patsy—A grind organ. Joseph—In the moonlight your teeth are like pearls. Helen—Oh, indeed, and when were you in the moonlight with ‘‘Pearl?’’ Esther—Why do you arrange your hair so carefully before you go to bed? Mary—So I can make a good impression on the pillow. Dumb—Do folks die around here? Brilliant—No, just once. Teacher—If you smoke too much you'll get a smoke heart; if you drink too much coffee, you'll get a coffee heart. Walter—If I eat too many sweets, will I get a sweet-heart? Aime—What shall I do for water on the knee? Leo—Wear pumps. Tony—Here’s that essay I offered you last year. Teacher—Why, I rejected that once. Tony—I know, but you had a year’s experience since then. Junitor—How long can a person live without brains? Sentor—How old are you? Teacher—When I say, I was handsome, I am using the past tense, when I say I shall be handsome, I am using the future tense. Now, tell me what tense I am using when I say I am handsome. Thomas—Pretense. Some cannibals assembled to decide what they should do with their captured white man. What was their verdict ? —‘‘Item”’ Patsy—Where does this road go? Sammy—I dunno. It’s here every morning when I get up. William—Every time you breathe someone dies. John—I'm sorry, but if I don’t breathe, I'll die. Teacher—Why did you construct that kind of a triangle? Edmund—wWell, you've got to draw the line somewhere. Student (leaving school) —Goodbye, teacher, I am indebted to you for all I know. Teacher—Don’t mention such a trifle. Warren (having picture taken) —-My back aches. Mr. Michon—Quit your crying. It won’t show in the picture. Helen—Doctor, why does that small cavity feel so large to the tongue? Dentist—Just the natural tendency of your tongue to exaggerate, I suppose. Teacher—Why can’t you conjugate this verb, Pasquale? Pasquale—I don’t think I’m in the right mood. Talented Sentor—When I left the stage the audience went wild with applause. C. Cassasa—Well, most likely they knew you weren’t coming on again. Helen—I've changed my mind. Katherine—Does it work any better now? PM TLY IS eb? fc That you think of the right answers just after handing in your paper? That a perfectly good composition came back with so many scars of battle? That the teacher never fails to look at you in the very act? That you think you have killed the exam. when the Sister marks an E? That when you are late for school your shoe lace breaks? Charles—Say, why is the patrol and the ambulance in front of the school? ; Walter—I guess it’s because the French students are murdering the French phonetics. Ernest—What five-letter word can you take two letters away from and one remains? Adolpheus—STONE! You take away ST and ONE remains. 59 A BOOK A book is a wonderful little thing, You never know what stories it’ll bring You look at the cover and think to yourself, “IT wonder if it will give me some help In making a cart or a long-wanted kite, Or a new airplane to make a long flight?”’ You now open the cover and see, Who is the publishing company. You then start to read what the book has to say, It tells you how to model clay. You never can tell what a book will bring, For a book is a curious thing. Raymond Benoit “GOODBYE S for St. Bernards Four years w E have spent Working a N d playing And educat I on we've earned Now time f O r parting The years have R olled by And so dear classmate S we must say Goodbye. Rita Stanley Sophisticated Co-ed—Would you leave your home for me? Dignified Sentor—For you I'd leave a baseball game in the ninth inning with the score tied. Joseph—Why do you hang around that pawn shop so much? Everett—They have so many of my things that I feel right at home. Helen—May I have some ink, my pen just ran out? Esther—Where did it go? What do teachers think when they keep students after school? “Tt pes tu tormentum”’ And what do you hear from those students who are kept after school? ‘Mons—moans”’ : And what are their pleading requests? “T(a) etus do out” What are their excuses? “De sede ars sic”’ Pe But what is their oral reason for desiring to go home? hs ealattesticigg Shorty—Who is that man over there snapping his fingers? Stretch—That’s a deaf man with the hiccoughs. Tom—Why does the whistle blow for a fire? ; oe Jo—lIt doesn’t blow for the fire, it blows for the water. They've got the fire. RIDICULOUS RHYTHM? Do ships have eyes when they go to sea? Are there springs in an ocean bed? | Does a jolly Tar flow from a tree? Does a cabbage ever lose its head? | Are fishes crazy when they go in Seine? Can an old hen sing her lay? Can you ever mend the break of day? Tony—Is there any particular way you'd like your hair cut? Customer—yYeah, off! ) Florence—I can read my sister just like a book. Irene—Yes, but you can’t shut her up like one. Johnny—My father was in the army and got a stripe on his arm for killing four men. Mary—That’s nothing, my dad got a whole striped suit for killing one man. Second-Hand Car Salesman—This car is sound in every part. Prospective Buyer—So I hear. 60 Literary Impersonations As a tributary evidence of our enjoyment of the various works in literature with which we became acquainted during the past four years, we have compiled the following impersonations which we hope will prove interesting to our readers.

With a complete coverage of national and world-wide events in Associated Press re- ports, its local and suburban news in unbiased detail, the Fitchburg Sentinel offers its readers each day the best method of keeping one’s education well rounded out and up-to-date.
