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

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

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
