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

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

‘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
