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

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

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
