Class Colors - Blue and nS Al Glas Leiner = Yood Rose. - Foreword In presenting this issue of the Bernardian, it has been the earnest desire of its editors to maintain and strengthen the tradition of the school an- nual, and in the years to come to furnish a storehouse of happy memories. GEORGE BERNARD FISCHER “He had the warmth of genial courtesy, the calm of self-reliance.” ‘Bunny’ our esteemed class President, performed his numerous official duties in a quiet unobtrusive, yet nevertheless efficient manner. He has won many friends by his gentle, cordial bearing, and the senior class will long remember him as the perfect host, whenever the occasion demanded. His interest in his studies was unfaltering even amid the many activities of senior year. Such zest for real work cannot go unrewarded and we expect to see “Bunny” soon mount the ladder of success to a pin- nacle rarely attained. MARGARET MARY MARTIN “Simplicity and gentleness belie a character of strength and womanliness.”’ For two years Margaret has served us as Vice- President with a dignity and poise that bespeaks the student of worth. The most bewitching thing about her is enjoyment of fun, modulated as it is with her consideration of duty. Although immersed in the activities of school life her chief aim has ever been to attain a high scholastic standard from the first, and it is this trait of Margaret's that will linger with us after she has taken her departure from our midst. JEANNE GERTRUDE [IRISH “Here's to somebody staunch and true.” Jeanne came to us from Arlington in the Sophomore year and made herself right at home. Her great delight is found in her beloved music with which she has often charmed us. Her smile is contagious, her enthusiasm refreshing, and her cheer fever fails to encourage. She was elected Secretary in her junior year, and has filled this im- portant position with remarkable success. Her high school record augers well for her future, and no doubt her high honor standing of high school days will accompany her in her future career. JOSEPH HENRY CARPENTIER “A goal he set, the standard high.” In the fall of '32 Joe first brought his spontaneous smile from the golden summits of West Fitchburg. ° But that was not all, for possessed of a keen analytical mind, he put it to the best advantage in the difficulties of Math, and the seldom traversed regions of the classics. Our appreciation of him culminated in his election to the office of Class Treasurer in which capac- ity he has served us nobly. His peculiar virtue of reti- cence has veiled his future aspirations, but we know that honcr will ever gild his name. 13 FRANCIS JOSEPH ALLEN “We arrive at virtue by taking tts direction.” Franny is very popular throughout the school, and was a great football asset in spite of his business activ- ities each afternoon. Generosity and kindness are his predominant traits, and his strong unswerving ad- herence to vigorous principles of industry and determi- nation stand as a rampart to his calm unruffled dis- position. We do not know his intentions for the future, but we are sure that he will be a success. Goodbye and good luck, Franny. SADIE ELIZABETH ANZALONE “From her all sorrow fltes afar.”’ Sadie is a girl with an exhaustless capacity for fun, and the beauty of it is that she carries it right through the day, without ever infringing on the exalted realms cf knowledge. How she does it we have yet to learn. We like to see her excited because then, she displays a pretty way of blushing that actually fascinates us. We believe that with these good points to her credit she wi ll attain her goal in her chosen work. MARCELLA GERNANDE AUBUCHON “Charming simplicity throughout long days.’ , True modesty is a quality sought for and highly prized in every student. Our representative Marcella possesses it to a marked degree. Her ever present smile opened the way for her at once into our intimate con- fidence. Her intellectual powers are well known, as also her excellent French accent which we so often envied. We know that her quest for success will be duly recompensed CHARLES HENRY AUDET “As merry as the day ts long.” Charlie is one of our favorite students always found in the thick of everything. His greatest hope is ta grow two feet taller so that he can be a “‘G-man.”’ He is our great walking French vocabulary. Every member of the Class of 36 extends heartiest wishes for a happy future, Charlie. RITA ADELINA BAKER “Laughing eyes, a merry smile, And a merry, merry heart.” Rita 1s one of our dark eyed brunettes who attends to studies with much earnestness, but with all does not neglect the social joys in the least. She is a lover of all sports, and appears at all contests to participate in cheering. Rita’s ambition is to become a secretary, and we trust that her capabilities will bring her much success. 14 -_ - cs. - VANDA TERESA BARON “The world belongs to the energetic.” Her quiet and unassuming demeanor cannot conceal Vanda’s capacity for work, and her unusual business ability. She has been our outstanding representative on the High Honor Roll, and we point with pride to her four years’ record. None in the class have pros- pects more bright than hers, and we deem it safe to predict that her rare combination of talent and thor- oughness will make her an eminent success. VIOLA MARY BEBICK “Her worth ts very dear in our regard.”’ Viola is delightful and entertaining company. The fact that blondes are considered congenial friends, evidently accounts for Viola’s popularity. The out- standing thing about her, however, is her sincerity, which quality, coupled with her sprightly good nature, makes her a welcome asset in any of our gatherings. Keep your sunny straightforwardness, Viola, and that proficiency will carry you far. FRANCIS ZAVIER BEDARD “Little said ts sooner mended.”’ The above can but briefly describe Francis. He is one of our illustrious boys, who does cheerfully and speedily whatever he has to do. He is somewhat shy when it comes to class recitations, but outside of classes is a very friendly and likeable chap. Personalities such as his the world most often beams upon, and so we earnestly desire the world’s best for our classmate Francis. RITA ESTELLE BEDARD “A sunny smile is a real treasure.’ , We all know this smiling girl from Townsend St. who is always bubbling over with fun. She excels in many outdoor sports, being especially adept in skating. Her sincerity and straightforwardness are enduring qualities that will endear her to the Class of 1936 long after she has left St. Bernard’s. ANN THERESA BERUBE “Not too sertous, not too gay, A good friend in every way.” Ann's attractive appearance and pleasing manner won her many friends during her high school career. She is interested in all outdoor sports, and is noted for her skill as a skater and swimmer. With her pleas- ing personality, good humor, and admirable qualities there is no doubt Ann will have a happy and success- ful future. JULIEN JOSEPH BLAIS ““He was ever the best man in the field.” Julie is very popular with the members of the Class of ’36 and is noted for his gay and carefree manner. Although he may not be surpassingly swift in many walks of student life he certainly reveals his speed in baseball, football and basketball, being captain of our 1935 Basketball Team. Nor does his athletic ability stop here. In addition he may often be seen giving a fancy skating exhibition at Coggshall’s. Julie's com- petence in athletics should gain for him a successful career in his future life. Best of luck, Julie. JOSEPH GERALD BOURGEOIS “There ts no wisdom like frankness.’ From the confines of our sister city, Leominster, Gerald has journeyed to us every day for four years. Among his extra curricular activities, he has excelled in baseball and we all know that some day, when Gerry comes into the limelight of the baseball king- dom, the fans will no longer speak of Babe Ruth, and Lou Gehrig, but cf “Gerry, the boy from Leomin- ster’. Blessed with a sprightly and gay nature, he often aided in enlivening and cheering our classes. Here’s wishing you luck, success, and happiness, Gerald. HELEN BARBARA BUCKLEY “Happy am I, from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me?”’ Delightful humor to the nth degree, plus good na- ture, an amount of work and some play; then on the other side of the equation we have the young lady pictured here. Helen and Pauline are the best of friends but not to the exclusion of their, other classmates, who are always welcome amid their friendly chats, and who together with them form one great big friendly circle. Best wishes, Helen for a happy future. MILDRED RITA CADRETTE “Good humor ts the health of the soul.” This is one of the best poets in our class who has often entertained us with her recitations. But the Muse of Poetry cannot take her interest from the practical fields of stenography and its attendants. We all expect to see her emerge, in the not distant future, as a crowning glory of the Commercial department of S. B. H. May your future be bright and happy, Mil- dred. PATRICK PHILIP CALAMERE “On their own merits modest men are silent.” Pat as he is known to his many friends, comes from the ‘“‘“Tar Hill’’ section. He is a fine friend and a good companion as we can all verify. If baseball was a required scholastic subject, Pat would rate very high. You have only to ask his opinion on whose club is taking the pennant, to learn his knowledge of this sport. We trust that the future holds much suc- cess in store for him. We're rooting for you, Pat. 16 TERESA ELIZABETH CAPONE “Ready to aid tn any task With a willingness unbounded.” This is our gay and happy Terry who drifts blithely and gayly from class to class. She has a sweet melodious voice but rarely gives us an opportunity to hear it. Her hobbies are basketball, skating, and above all, horseback riding. She intends to follow a business career, where we are sure her charming personality will bring her success. HAZEL CATHERINE CARTER “For she ts the quiet kind, whose nature never vaties.” Hazel may be listed as one of the demurest girls of our class. We always see her with an armful of books, which naturally explains the reason for her excellent marks. The fact is that Hazel’s ambition is to enter the nursing profession where her many good qualities will have ample scope for demonstration. Good luck in your plans, Hazel, from the Class of '36. MARY CATHERINE COFFEY “Ever loyal, ever true to the task she has to do.” Mary is the embodiment of all truth and sincerity. Her ready smile and genial disposition made her the friend of all with whom she came in contact. She has been a loyal rooter of all the athletic events of the school, and did her share in all social festivities. Her goal is the business world, where we hope she will enjoy the best of success. CATHERINE LOIS CONNERS “A sunny disposition ts a treasure.” Smiling her way through even the hardest of school days, Catherine’s wit and good humor have won for her a host of f riends. This, however, did not prevent her from always giving a good account of herself in class. We do not know what her future plans are, but whatever field she chooses we wish her all the luck in the world. ANN MARY CONROY “To know her ts to love her.” Winning manners, happy chatter, and _ sterling character are what we most admire in Ann. She likes all sports including skiing, skating, and basketball. Her fine disposition makes her a necessary friend at all our gatherings, and when she is absent there is a general inquiry as to her whereabouts. Well may the business world receive her in its midst, for she is destined to augment the splendid record of her school days. 17 JANET HELENA CUNNINGHAM “True to herself and her friends.” The recollection of happy days cannot but conjure memories of genial, happy Janet. Her carefree dis- position has often cheered our path and brightened our hours during her four years with us. We feel certain that her wholesome cheerfulness will be a big asset in the nursing profession which she plans to enter. PHILIP CHARLES CUNNINGHAM “Today whatever may annoy The world for me ts joy, simple joy.” In Philip, our “‘Allegro’’, we have the epitome of wit and good nature. His effusive good spirits indicate an implicit faith in “‘l’Allegro’’ but we find at times that beneath the surface there is a touch of “Il Pen- seroso’’. He was an active moulder of the annals of the class, when he cheered and cheered the teams to victory. A firm believer in social obligations, he has ever been courteous to their demands. Keep up the good work, Phil, is our parting admonition. MARY MARGARET DARCY “Her hand ts ready and willing.” Mary is a likeable girl, a splendid student, and a true friend. No one has ever been heard to speak ill of her, as she is always ready and willing to help wher- ever she can. We do not know her plans but whatever she chooses she has the good wishes of all her class- mates for a successful future. SILVIO PETER DE BONIS “What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” The above is ‘‘Yak’s’’ motto for he is ever to be found in the midst of the fun. One of his hobbies is landscape gardening. In his spare time, he always calis on his friend, Fred, and together they get to work. We predict that “‘Yak’’ will take up his father’s busi- ness, and we wish him every happiness. HELEN Lucy DEL BEATO “A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature.” Always happy and full of glee, Helen is ever sur- rounded by a group of merry classmates. She believes in the proverb ‘‘Smile and the world smiles with you. Weep and you weep alone’, for we have yet to find her gloomy or a victim of the blues. May your sunny, jovial personality carry you lightly over the crags of time, Helen. 18 ELIZABETH ANN DESMOND “Her voice was ever soft and gentle.” Her pleasant manners and unruffled calm, together with her scholastic ability, have set forth a worthwhile example of a good scholar. Much more could we say about her various talents, but we know that her modesty forbids it, therefore we will content our- selves with offering Elizabeth our sincerest wishes for a future that will be a compensation for her work as a high school student. ANITA THERESA DESROSIER “How often have her actions taught How fine a smile can be.” A smile for everybody seems to be Anita’s motto, for her pleasant disposition has gained her a host of friends. A calm serenity hides a fun-loving heart, and she is always ready to appreciate a good time. Evi- dently she loves the fathomless seas, for somehow, we have learned that her ambition is to render service to the sick cast upon the stormy billows. May success attend your pluck, Anita. ANTHONY JOHN DININNO “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” As the hour of parting draws nearer it becomes doubly hard to express our feeling regarding this dark-eyed comrade of ours from Arlington Heights. We were attracted from the first by his affability and kindliness, an d feel that his winning personality will secure for him a successful future in the business world. The Class of '36 wishes you much happiness, Tony. JOHN EDWARD DONELAN “There is no wisdom like frankness,” John, like the rest of us, is ever ready for his share of the fun, and although an earnest hard-working student, had managed his time so well that his after- noons were given to business practice in a local store. He has secured unusual prominence by his achieve- ments in the Debating Society, and also by his work in the orchestra. We all wish John every success in the future. SALLY FRANCES DONOVAN “Of surpassing beauty, and In the bloom of youth.” Sally is one of the popular members of our class, pretty, charming, a good dancer, and the possessor of a lively sense of humor. She was an unfailing parti- cipant in all our school socials, and on every occasion cheered lustily the athletic contests. May her pursuit of learning in the coming years bring Sally as much pleasure as did her high school days. 19 ELIZABETH ANNE DOOLING “Carefree as the wind am I.” Nothing ever worries Elizabeth, she takes things as they come along. Not even studies dare to bother her, and yet we find her always with the work prepared. She is a graceful skater and many a clear cold winter's day has found her skimming over the glassy surface of Coggshall Park. When it comes to rooting at the athletic contests, she is there with all the ardor of youth, and it is our wish that this youthful spirit lighten her path through life. HELEN FRANCES DUNNE “Wistful, and shy, and gay She stole into our hearts for aye.’ Helen was another of our rooters from West Fitch- burg, and chalked up a perfect attendance record in spite of the distance. She is a laughing, happy girl who knows how to become serious at the right time. Her affability is unrivaled, which certainly ought to contribute to her future success in the world of busi- ness. Here we take leave of you, Helen, with every wish for your future happiness. MARY ANN FATTORI “A gentle maid, of aspect fatr.”’ Mary is one of those girls ‘“‘you just can’t help liking.’’ She always sees the funny side of things, and her happy outlook has always helped her friends over the bumps of school-life. Her favorite sport is basket- ball. We are all looking forward to a splendid debut for Mary in the stenographic field. MARY MADELINE FENTON “Contentment is found, When she is around.” Here is a happy, jovial girl who refuses to be dis- - turbed by anything or anybody. Mary’s great interest has been sports, as proved by her attendance at the gym classes. She hasn’t told any of us her plans for the future, but we think that the world of business will offer her the best of opportunities. Here’s to suc- cess, Mary. JOHN FRANCIS FINNERON “Real loyalty ts hard to find, But our John has the secret key.”’ In the years to come we will delight in recollections of John as our efficient classmate, who was ever busy, sometimes on his own interests, very often in behalf of others. We shall remember a good turn here and there, acts of friendship, and above all a most generous nature. With such anticipations, we take leave of him, hoping that good Fortune may ever accompany him. 20 i. FRANCIS EDWARD FISCHER “A goodly share of laughter in his eye.” Frannie is one of our athletes and a star at that. If laughter and geniality are some of the requisites of popularity, then Frannie is there with the goods. As captain of the 1935 Footbail Team, he unquestionably added much to its splendid record and paved the way for a record-breaking team next year. Best of Luck, Fran, in the future. PAUL FRANCIS FLAHERTY “Friends and acquaintances are the surest passpotts to the future.” “Flats’’ is one of our best liked seniors, and has often made his friends beat in rhythm to his spark- ling wit. He has been vitally interested in all school sports and has done his best to uphold the fine calibre of the football squad. He will be greatly missed by his companions of ’36 who will long remember his infectious mirth and unfailing good humor. EILEEN AGNES FLYNN “Serene, and resolute, and still, And calm, and _self-possessed.”” Regularly Eileen came every day on the bus, and her records show that she meant business in doing so, for she is an outstanding member of the General Course. She is a quiet, attentive, and charming student who has endeared herself to all her classmates. Best of luck, Eileen, and may your future be as successful as your past. FRANCIS JOSEPH FOLEY “The knowledge of words ts the gate of Scholarship.” Joe has been throughout a great supporter of all school affairs. He will be remembered as one of the school’s best debaters, and as a dramatist of unusual talent. He served efficiently as secretary to the De- bating Society, and also took active parts in the Latin and French Clubs. On his departure from St. Ber- nard’s, he unconsciously impresses this fact upon us that a boy of his type, a boy whose attempt in every branch was recognized for its merit, cannot fail. RAYMOND WILFRED FORTIN “T am monatch of all I survey My right there ts none to dispute.’ Sincerity, loyalty, and generosity are but a few of Ray’s winning qualities. His interests in history were deeply rooted, and by his earnest endeavor to clarify some question of the present day, he often saved a sinking comrade from the marshy precincts of an afternoon session. Many thanks, Ray. He is very pop- ular with his classmates and we all trust that his future will be as happily spent as his school days at St. Bernard's. , 21 BEATRICE CECELIA GAYNORD “Thy spirit, ndependence, let me share.’ Behold our chief youthful exemplar of la vie mod- erne, but feminine withal to the last degree. Beatrice is always cheerful and enthusiastic, and ever prepared to fall in line and codperate. She is fond of swimming and tennis, and is an inveterate hiker. Of her future plans we are uncertain, but we think that in the fall Beatrice will be enrolled in one of New England's best known secretarial schools. Best of luck, Beatrice. CORNELIUS EDWARD GEARY “His friends and fortunes one could guess, By his fine habits and gentleness.” Neil has been prominent as a student, a debater, and a musician. Amid his many activities he has through his genial, cordial manner won a host of friends. His work as assistant manager of the year book has met with a marked success, and we now regard it as a prelude to his future achievements. Whatever institute he chooses for his future studies will receive one of the finest and most loyal graduates of St. Bernard’s. HELENA ANN GORMAN “Just a wee bit of humanity with a great mind.” Oh, My! the qualities little people possess. Helena, demure and reserved, is noted among her friends for the fine, stable character she possesses. She is an en- thusiastic follower of the basketball and football teams and cheers lustily at the appointed time. With her genial, energetic manner may she set out, and proceed prosperously along the highways of the future. DOROTHY MAE HACKETT “She's Full of life, and full of fun.” Think of a never-failing good nature, a happy dis- position, and a smile that refused to remain hidden, that’s Dot. Beneath it a seriousness of intent and de- termination of purpose has carried her through a dif- ficult course of studies with more than usual success. That such good fortune may attend her in the future is the earnest wish of her classmates of 1936. HELEN FRANCES HARTNETT “Knowledge comes only from faithful study.” Helen is noted for her broad smile and willingness to help others. She is very much devoted to study for which her reward is found on the High Honor Roll. As sincerity and cheerfulness marked her in school, so we hope they will mark her in life. We trust that fortune will smile on her as she leaves the portals of her Alma Mater. 22 PHILIP JOSEPH HAVERTY “To an excellent student and comrade, To one of a nature, so true and so glad.” Phil, our friend from Leominster, has been a loyal member of the Class of °36; finding time along the way to make life-long friends by his keen wit and ready smiles. Because of his splendid height and weight, he has furnished us with an outstanding center on our football teams. For this and other worthy reasons our memories of Phil will be ever the most pleasant, and we hope that a brilliant future is in store for him. ELMER WILLIAM HORTON “A jovial classmate, loyal and true.”’ Here you behold a youth of confidence and sin- cerity. Elmer is a hunter of unequal prowess; in pur- suit of knowledge, he succeeds as well as in the stalking of animals, so that his accomplishments of the future seem assured. Best wishes, Elmer, for a happy career from the class of 1936. ALYCE ADA HUSSEY “The world smiles with her.” Ada’s unfailing good nature and general friend- liness have made her a favorite with all. She revels in outdoor sports especially skiing and swimming. Her ambitions for the future aim high, and our great hopes are that soon she will be sailing the sea of busi- ness as the private secretary in some large concern. MARGARET MARY IANNACONE “She goes through life on wings of song.” You will find by acquaintance that Margaret, our shy little classmate, is just as full of fun as anyone else. She enjoys all forms of outdoor exercise; especially walking. She intends to be a beautician, in which field of labor we know she wili be a valuable asset. Here’s to success, Margaret, and great happiness. MARY ALICE JACQUES ““As merry as the day ts long and ever ready to help us along.” Those who know Alice find that she has a heart of gold, in which like a hotel, there is always room for one more. She has been a High Honor pupil through- out her course, and we hope that as she was successful in school, so she will be in future life. 23 DOROTHY THERESA JORDAN “Tf you seek graciousness Here you find your quest.” Dorothy's good nature and broad smile has brought us much happiness, and her good humor has made the minutes fly by before school, and at lunch. She has not told us what her plans are for the future but we know that whatever work she will undertake will be well done, so here we offer her the best of wishes for a great career. ANDREW DAVID KILLELEA “He's armed without that ts innocent within.” Andrew's claim to distinction rests unmistakably in his calmness and unruffled poise. Optimistic at all times, and led on by an admirable taste for learning, this daily pilgrim from Leominster has brightened our ranks day after day. With his sincerity of manner, and great confidence and facility in surmounting ob- stacles, Andrew is entering, with our best wishes, upon a certain road to success. PAUL FRANCIS KIRBY “Gentle of speech, beneficent of mind.” Paul has stood out as one of the bright lights of the classical division. If geniality and friendliness are indications of a worthwhile character, then Paul has all the requirements. His exuberant good nature has ever been contagious, and he served as a beam of golden sunlight on our onerous path to knowledge. With these natural gifts and an acute business sense Paul is well nigh on the way to fame in his chosen profession, Best of luck, Paul. LEO THOMAS LAPOINTE “He may be small, but he’s the best of them all.” Let us now present our diminutive but sturdy product from up West, our ever genial Leo. He has traversed the weary way of high school fraught with a calm, imperturbable demeanor that challenges even the very placidity of Virgil. We feel now at the end of our high school days that Leo’s boyish nonchalance will carry him far on the roadway of life. MADELEINE MARY LAVOIE “Her ways ate pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.”’ We had been in school only a few months when we recognized Madeleine’s worth as a worthwhile com- rade. She is a lover of sports and has always given her loyal support to the school teams. The class of 1936 takes this opportunity of wishing her the best of luck for the future. 24 GLADYS LOUISE LEBOEUF “A dignity and quiet charm are to be found in Gladys.” Who ever saw Gladys in a hurry or without her cheerful smile? Her way is never in haste yet she’s always ahead of everyone else. Such methodical pro- cedure must needs have its reward. She intends to be- come an aviatrix. Happy landings, Gladys! BERTHA THERESA LEGER “An air of happiness about her.” For four long years Bertha has cast her lot with the travelers from West Fitchburg, to be one of the fortunates of our happy class. Whatever she entered upon, whether lessons or socials, she pursued whole- heartedly; and whatever occasion she sought to brighten was forthwith enhanced exceedingly. In the future we expect to find her an outstanding repre- sentative of our loved high school. CLARENCE RAYMOND LODGE “What hidden strength unless the strength of heaven?” Quiet, but extremely convincing, that’s Clarence. His appearance from the first day that he drifted to us from Leominster has always been immaculate and perfectly appointed. We soon learned to admire this slender youth, and noted from the beginning his lively interest in art and sports, as well as studies. May you enjoy the success in life, Clarence, that you have so justly earned in high school. MARY CATHERINE MCCANN “Charming simplicity throughout the days, Macks her path along the ways.” Mary’s unquestionable good qualities have made her a favorite with all. She is one of our Commercial Honor students, and we feel that she will be a credit to herself and St. Bernard’s, when she steps out into the business world to accept that fine position which we know is waiting for her. Best of luck to you, Mary! DANIEL FRANCIS MCCARTHY “Virtue ts like a rich stone, best plain set.”’ Danny is a friend of friends; he has aided and pro- moted good will in an unofficial capacity during four years at St. Bernard’s. He is a genial, friendly fellow and always ready for a good time. He has done his work well and we believe that he will ever be loyal to the ideals of St. Bernard’s. Au revoir, and not Adieu, Danny. 25 EILEEN KATHERINE MCCARTHY “A gitl sincere and true.” On even slight acquaintance one cannot but be im- pressed by Eileen’s pleasant and agreeable manners. She is a jolly, friendly girl who undoubtedly is a lasting friend to whoever cultivates her acquaintance. She excels in sports and is especially interested in basketball. Best wishes, Eileen, from the class of '36. JAMES FRANCIS MCCARTHY “He ts just the quiet kind, whose nature never vartes.”’ Although “‘Jimmie’’ seems to possess a quiet and retiring nature, he really is one of the most fun-loving Senicrs we have. He has been a competent, loyal member of our va- rious teams, faithfully attending the practice sessions called by Coach Tarpey, and he has well earned the reputation among his team-mates, of being a clean, earnest player Good wishes for a bright future, ‘“‘Jimmie.’’ WILLIAM JOHN MCCULLOUGH “What wit and humor in his little frame!’’ “Speck’’, as we call him, is always in the midst of a conversation where good nature abounds. Although small in stature he makes up for it by the merriment he creates wherever he goes. Is he an enthusiastic rooter in the athletic games of the school! His whole heart and soul are put into the cheering, which he gives for his team. ‘‘Speck’’ hasn’t decided yet what course he intends to pursue later on, but we know that his earnestness will be rewarded. PAUL JOHN MCDOWELL “A stalwart youth of quiet mien.” Paul has been characteristically quiet and unob- trusive, and has on many occasions given fine exhibi- tions of athletic skill, for during the four years he has been active in all the different sports. We hope that in his future life he will continue his interests in ath- letics and remember his classmates of thirty-six. RITA ANN MCGUIRK “Alive to each new joy that thrills a vibrant soul.” Possessing an affable nature and with it an abun- dance of common sense coupled with an engaging humor, Rita looks upon life and its difficulties from a whimsically ‘serious point of view. Her easy facility of making acquaintances has formed a lengthy chain of friendships which will ever be a part of our mem- ories of Rita at St. Bernard’s High. Sincere wishes from the class of ’36, Rita, 26 RITA FRANCES MCGURN “Mischief dances tn her eyes.” Rita is one of our sunbeams, and an outstanding supporter of the school’s social and athletic activities. Worries never seem to cross her path, as she goes on her way blithe and gay. We only hope that she may always have as happy a life as she has had with us these last four years, when she enters upon her life- work in the business world, JAMES JOSEPH MCNALLY “Young in limbs, in judgment old.” Through four years of endless and sometimes weari- some procession of facts and fancies, our ever popular James has succeeded in injecting into every school activity the cheer of his infectious personality. He is distinguished most, perhaps, for his thoughtfulness in circumstances that demand an understanding sym- pathy. With his qualities of a gentleman, and his knowledge secured from books and experience James is assured of success in his chosen life work. PHILIP DANIEL MONAHAN “’Tts easy to recognize a man with a will.” This is our classmate on whom the god of music has smiled benignly. His splendid renditions in the school orchestra have made us envious of his innate talent. But music is not the only interest Phil has, for he has equally distinguished himself on the gridiron and baseball diamond. One fact remains for us to re- call, namely that Phil did well in whatever activity he participated. That alone is sufficient guarantee for a successful career. IRENE YVONNE MORAND “Calm and poised, a lady true.” Our coy little Irene tripped along quietly but de- terminedly on her arduous way to scholarship. Not the least aggressive, she yet claimed our attention by her unswerving loyalty to class interests, and by her ap- plication to duty. If scholastic accomplishment and well-merited esteem are at all prophetic then we look for great achievements in the years to come from Irene. MARIAN ELIZABETH MORRILLY “In order to have friends, be one.’ , Marian is one of the tail members of our class, but she is just as full of cheerfulness as she is high. She likes to participate in all forms of sport, but is especi- ally a great lover of tennis. We hope that her fun- loving nature will accompany her as she steps forth into the busy hum of the business world. 1H PAUL XAVIER MULLOY “All things are ready if our minds be so.”’ Here is Paul, the complaisant. His quiet yet forceful manner has gained for him innumerable friends. He is always a gentleman and a good listener, until there is need to say something apt, simple, and unaffected. While he has not been a grind of Dame Knowledge, he has always managed to keep: his record above the regions of censorship. Best wishes, Paul, and may you win a high place among the world’s leaders. PAULINE ANN MULLOY “Mischief dances in her eyes.”’ To show how true the saying, “‘looks are deceiv- ing’’ may be, we have only to consider our classmate, Pauline. One would think that she is quiet and serious; but she is as full of mischief as she can be. Her cheer- ful, happy smile means more to us than money to a miser. An ardent pursuer of sports, she has not how- ever, neglected the great means of becoming a sec- retary. We wish her every success in this new field. FRANCES MARY PADULA “Behold a smile lights upon her face.”’ Frances’s hobbies are writing poems and playing the piano. Generally her presence in a group means the dismissal of care, and the entrance of clever wit and hearty laughter, for she is admittedly the smiling herald of good humor and gaiety. Her gay laugh, which has so often echoed through the corridors, is absolutely guaranteed to chase away all shadows of gloom from her pathway in life. NICOLINE MARY PANDISCIO “Witty, jolly, and carefree—always happy as can be.” “Nicky’’ is one of our classmates whose broad smile reaches the heart of everyone. If ever you wish to find her, you may be sure that she is with Grace, Pearl, and Frances. She has followed the Commercial Course, and we hope that she will be most successful in the business world. GEORGE ARTHUR PAYEA “A will to do, that ne'er admits defeat.’’ Few of the class have been as congenial, courteous and popular as George. His open-hearted smile, his genuine modesty, and his never-ceasing fun with all have made his journey with us a treasure of high school memories. Our sincere wish is that his kind- liness in offering help when needed, will be the bul- wark of his future success. 28 ARMAND GERALD PERREAULT ‘His smile is tempered by his gravity.” Armand came to us in his Sophomore year from The Fathers of the Blessed Sacrament in New York. He brought with him a store of wit and humor to brighten his classmates in times of trials. He is seldom without that big smile of his, as he goes about his round of duties. Best of luck, Armand, we feel that your future will be a record-breaking success. PEARL MARY PRINN “Indeed she was a merry lass.”’ The recollection of happy days cannot but conjure memories of genial, happy Pearl. All during her stay among us she has made none but pleasant impressions during the hours of school time. Characteristically unassuming and modest, she has not made known her plans for the future, but we are certain that her splendid qualities will win for her a deserving success. JOHN ANTHONY PTAK “The most manifest sign of wisdom ts cheerfulness.” This statement clearly applies to John at all times, for he is seldom seen without a smile playing about his features . His scholastic record is of high grade for his name is continually featured on the Honor Roll List. When he leaves us he intends, or at least hopes to “Do or die’ for the U. S. Navy. Let’s hope the ad- miral’s cap fits you, John, RICHARD ROBERT QUINN “The only way to have a friend ts to be one.”’ The above quotation forms a great part of Richard’s daily program at S. B. H. S. He is im- mensely popular with every member of his class. It is not his extraordinary achievements, but his simple way of being a good friend and a square shooter, that has made him one of the best liked seniors. We all hope that he may have a bright and happy future. Good luck, ‘‘Rich.”’ CHARLES JOSEPH RIVERS, JR. “A cheery hello, and a kindly voice.” Charles is a member of the Senior General Depart- ment where his splendid work in his studies has won for him a place as an Honor Roll student. Gifted with a sparkling sense of humor, Charles� was a keen ob- server, and was ever ready with a witty repartee. We valued him not only for his scholarship, but also for his friendliness and geniality, and feel confident that opportunity will ever find him ready. 29 4 = sat Hab OL ae JCSEPH ARTHUR RODDY “Veni, vidi, vict.”’ Joe is one of our big jolly classmates who knows how to apply himself to studies. He fulfilled the above quotation in regard to his Mathematics, for he buried himself in it every day until he mastered it. He has followed all the sports of the school, and has never been lacking when the coach needed help. He has made himself a beloved companion of all at St. Bernard's High and we unite in offering him best wishes for the future. THOMAS COLBERT ROGAN “He ts a man six foot Al.’ “Bud” is a general favorite. His election as Busi- ness Manager of the year book is an illustration of this. He and ‘‘Flats’’ may always be seen gently fight- ing at recess periods, With a smile and a cheer for everyone, even the youngest freshman, he leaves a trail of cheerfulness in his course that we think will characteristically follow him throughout his life. We have no fear of ‘‘Bud’s’’ future success, for we have had many predictions of it during high school days. IRENE RITA ROUX “Friends she has many, Foes she hasn’t any.” Irene is one of our High Honor students. She is a very talented and efficient. stenographer, as well as a star member of our orchestra where she displays her skill as violinist to advantage. When her ambition of concert violinist is achieved, we hope that Irene will still remember her classmates at S. B. H. GENEVA MARGARET SANBORN “She has the joyous gift of Finding joy wherever she will.” Throughout the four years of High School we have found much to admire in Geneva and much to value in her well-rounded character. She is very fond of outdoor sports, especially skating and hiking. Her plans for the future are unknown but with that genial smile “‘why worry, Sandy?” JOSEPH EDWARD SELINGA “A true friend ts forever a friend.” We chose the above for Joe, for it is evident that he has striven to live up to its philosophy. He has been a constant rooter at all of the school games, although he himself does not indulge in athletics. It is only an- other instance of his loyalty, and this sincere interest will be one reason for remembering him after he has gone forth into the turmoil of a busy world. 30 4 THOMAS DANIEL SHEA “Laughter and fun are my close friends.” Tommy is really the spark-plug of our class, being ever designated the pep and the cheer of the Seniors. Endowed with an abundance of native talent he has generously let it contribute to the success of the school, both in athletics, where he has starred as captain of the 1936 Baseball Team, and in dramatics and class work. We trust that his buoyant aggressiveness will not desert him in his future business career. ‘-FREDERICK LEONARD SHEPPARD “They'te truly great who are truly good.” As a student Frederick is excellent, for the Honor Roll was never seen without his name—as a class- mate he is par-excellent. These few words convey our feeble but sincere appreciation of him, as we came to know him intimately during the four years of high school. We learned his worth more fully during his term as manager for the athletic team. His endeavors in the field of commerce have been amply rewarded, and we feel certain that his selection of any enterprise will lead to great success. ; EDWARD JOSEPH SKARZYCKI “Where words ate scarce, they are seldom spent tn vain.” The above quotation applies characteristically to Edward, for he seldom fails the golden rule of silence. This does not mean that he is, in the least, morose or unsociable: for a friendly chat with him reveals a lad of buoyant, cheerful ways who is vitally inter- ested in all the affairs of the moment. We take leave of him with regret, and trust that his future will be a happy and eventful one, ALPHONSE CHARLES ST. GEORGE “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” From Alphonse’s great knowledge of bookkeeping, we all believe that he intends to pursue a business career. He certainly never neglected his home prepara tion in this particular lesson. He is, without doubt, a very jolly lad who likes to have fun at the right time, sometimes perhaps during school hours. Seeing his exuberant enjoyment at recess we catalogue him as a general favorite, and we ask the future years to smile kindly on this favorite son of our school. RAYMOND JOHN STANLEY “All things are difficult before they are easy.” This quotation refers to certain studies of Ray’s, and although they are difficult, he plunges into them, and does a worthwhile piece of work. He has been a loyal member of the school for the whole four years, and is liked by his friends because of his unusually even temperament. He has furnished good material for the sport activities especially football. You have our best wishes as you leave, Ray. 31 BERNARDINE ANN SULLIVAN “A worthy classmate you here meet.’’ “Sully” takes advantage of all the enjoyments school affords, not even neglecting study, which she says is no enjoyment. Her major interests are outdoor sports in which she greatly excels. As to the future she has prepared for a business career, and she takes with her our best wishes for a happy and prosperous future. IRENE GRACE TAYLOR “Her worth beams from her dark gray eyes.” Here let us introduce our class brunette, whose re- tiring habits have often held us at bay. Among her intimate companions she is noted for her constancy and loyalty, especially where there is question of school activities. Her interest in sports has been sub- dued, but nevertheless, hearty and enthusiastic; and thus we expect to see her all along the way, hearty and enthusiastic in whatever she engages. Best wishes, Irene. FRANCIS EVERETT VAILLANCOURT “Good nature is a special charm T hat wins a host of friends.” Happiness and joviality are the chief characteristics of our hero “Rudy.” A remarkable good nature makes his frequent discourses a treat not easily for- gotten. He is ever ready to take either side of a ques- tion, for the sake of a good argument, and when it comes to topics on sports he is right there with the latest reports. Certainly his sunny, carefree nature will go a long way in helping him to his goal. ALFRED ANTHONY VERGARI “A day for toil, an hour for sport.” Although his countenance does not justify it, Fred always seems to be without a worry in the world. His ingenious mind is ever willing to supply wit and humor. Fred surely likes Spanish, for in every spare minute he has, he pulls out his text and gets to work. We don’t know what his future plans are, but he seems very interested in landscape gardening, so let’s wish him luck in whatever he does. CATHERINE MARY VIGGIANO “Duty first, pleasure afterwards.” Aithough Catherine was ever attentive to duty in school, that did not prevent her being a rippling source of merriment. Her ready wit and humor often delighted her companions, and smoothed the rugge d path of knowledge. Although Catherine’s plans are uncertain, we know that her laudable ambition will spell her success in the world’s great mart. 32 a JOHN FRANCis WALSH “Be silent and safe Silence never betrays you.” John has been a member of. our class from fresh- man year, and has ever been interested in all our activities, attending both the athletic contests and the socials. We hope that his will be a bright and happy future. JOHN JOSEPH WALSH “Steadfast, loyal, and a dispenser of fond, good cheer.” John or “‘Squeaky’’ as he is better known is an outstanding member of the classical course. He is as fine an example of school spirit as you would like to see. He applied himself unflinchingly to his studies during the four years; and when it came to the sports he was ever there cheering his head off for S. B. H. S. Best of luck for the future, John. In Memoriam WILLIAM J. O’DOWD Rem lets, And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! —Tennyson. Bie ALMA MATER TO THE GRADUATING CLASS Yes, child, glad bells are ringing, While you raise a festive lay, And I know your hearts are singing On your graduation day. I also rejoice in your pleasure, And join in your happiness too, Though saddened because of your leaving I beg many blessings on you. May always our kind gracious Mother Beam on the path of you all, May her loving embraces enfold you Till you answer God’s heavenly call. Ann Conroy. GRADUATING CLASS TO ALMA MATER Memories, how they fill with wonder Hearts of ours so light and gay, As the mists o’ercloud our eyelids When we view the parting way; Years of carefree joys and pleasures Alma Mater, we have known, And what seeds of worthwhile knowledge In our souls you’ve daily sown. We will cherish long your memory, All the lessons that you taught, And the future years will herald Our life’s quest—the good we sought. Frances Padula. 34 SV, | CLASS HISTORY Class History In the month of September 1932 we stood on the threshold of a new world, glowing with the eagerness and pride of having successfully emerged from the humiliating ranks of grammar school pupils to the more dignified, dependable position of High School students. The entrance into high school seemed the most desirable period of our lives. The first few days proved exciting and were filled with the new adventure of traveling from one class to another. After the difficulty of finding classrooms was overcome we attempted to settle down to our studies. The upper-classmen sought to crush our air of superiority and to blot out that exaggerated opinion we cherished of ourselves. Much to our dismay and horror we found that it was necessary to undergo that stage known as initiation. Alas! Just poor little defenceless freshmen molested by those cruel taunts of initiation. We cried out for vengeance but were utterly overpowered when the huge Juniors stole our shoes, leaving us sitting on the stairs unable to attend our classes. The consequences were even worse for how could we furnish the unwarranted excuse! Still our freshman year was a period of chills and happiness. The summer vacation sped rapidly and again we marched eagerly to school, a little more subdued but still glowing. We found our class greatly enriched by an addition of boys from the former class who could not resist our enchanting charms and fiery spirit. This year proved very different. Upper-classmen paid us more respect, and we, in our lofty position, could look down upon the little freshmen. Among our classmates we could boast of a number of good athletes and we did not neglect to cheer them on to victory by our attendance at all athletic contests. An outstanding football event of our Sophomore year was the introduction of an annual dance. How proud we were not to occupy the last seats in the auditorium for the apologetics course. The third year of our High School career held many unforeseen pleasures. Our socials began with a Hallowe’en dance, when the gym was fantastically decorated with pirates, witches and ghosts. Entertainment, games, and dancing carried the evening to a happy end. Our annual Football Dance was bigger and better than the preceding year. Then came the excitement. How excited we were Over the election of class officers and the preparation of our Reception to the Seniors! We looked forward eagerly to that night as the most important of our high school course. Finally the evening arrived and our anxiety knew no end. Not even the pouring rain could drown our eager, carefree joys. It was a great success. Ihe quickly prepared entertainment consisting of a play entitled, 36 a re a . ae?’ s ‘a “The Whole Truth,’ and other specialties amused our Senior audience. After the entertainment we danced to the music of a well-trained orchestra. This was undoubtedly our greatest achievement of the year and we talked of nothing else for months. It seemed impossible to believe that with our return in September we were the dignified seniors of the school. The fact remained, and we were daily in- formed of our responsibilities and duties. The usual procedures of senior year kept us busy, not the least being examinations for which we prepared with much exactitude. Our Christmas entertainment was unusually beautiful, as the rich costumes of the three kings and Roman officials heightened immeasurably the depth and feeling of the sweet story of Christ’s birth. An event that sad- dened our happy school year was the death of a popular, studious classmate, William O’Dowd, whose sunny smile was greatly missed at all our classes. As our enrolment this year greatly surpassed that of any other, our beloved pastor, Monsignor Donnelly provided for ou r growing needs by the erection of a portable building which took care of the greater part of our freshmen class. The apologetic instructions given by Father Carroll especially during the Lenten season, were inspiring and thought-producing, and, perhaps it was be- cause we were Seniors, we seemed impressed as never before. As the warm spring days ushered in the rich warmth of June we realized that the end of high school days for us had come, and I suppose, as all the seniors who have gone before us, we thought of the past and future—of the past with feelings of regret, love, and above all gratitude to our loving Parents, Pastor, Principal, and Teachers; of the future with a mingled sensation of awe and expectancy, but nevertheless with confidence inspired by the realization that we possessed a well grounded training in religion and secular branches— such as only a Catholic High School like St. Bernard’s could furnish. a7, Christian Character In the June issue 1933, of the Catholic Educational Review appeared a timely article entitled ‘““The Education of Christian Character’. So exhaustively and thoroughly did the author deal with her subject that I have thought it worthwhile and opportune for us, graduates of 1936, to dwell a little on some of the salient points discussed. The term character, we learn, fundamentally means a distinctive mark impressed or otherwise formed. In psychology we find that character is person- ality in action. On our entrance into this world we were sealed with the dis- tinctive mark of Christian at Baptism, and as such it has been the duty of those charged over us to develop and educate the Christian elements existing in our souls. That we have been thus trained is evident in the happy occasion that presents us to the world as graduates of a Catholic high school. When at our Baptism we, as Christians, came into our inheritance, the Catholic Church, we began our training in character in an atmosphere per- meated with holiness that came down to us from the Founder, Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Our starting point then, was holy; consequently, our aim and goal must be holy. After we scan the entire expanse of this world we find that there is one goal designated as holy, namely the Beatific Vision or Heaven; that there is one safe way of arriving there clearly pointed out by the great Saint Paul in his third epistle to the Colossians in which he says: “‘Your life is hid with Christ in God.” If then the words of the Apostle of the Gentiles bear weight, they convey the unmistakable injunction that as Catholics we must take Christ as our model. On looking back over our past school days we behold ourselves as most fortunate in being molded along these very lines; that Christ has been pointed out to us as our leader and model from our earliest years of instruction. Our school life may rightly be termed a period of the study of Christ, and it re- mains for us to apply the lessons learned to our dealings with our fellowmen in our allotted span of life upon this earth. 39 You may ask what are the distinctions that should characterize us as fol- lowers of our Model. Primarily they are the Christian virtues known as such to all men—humility, patience, charity, temperance, faith, hope, etc., the noble traits displayed by our Lord in His life of poverty and suffering—the lessons He taught during His public life—perhaps most beautifully summed up in the “Sermon on the Mount’’. Since we have had so firm a foundation for the development of our Christian character, and since the study of Christ has been our starting point, it remains for us the Graduates of 1936, to profit by our study, and to reveal ourselves to a world steeped in materialism and injustice, as Christlike members of the Catholic Church; and finally by making the imitation of Christ our life’s one aim, for if we do this we may have great confidence as we revert once again to St. Paul's epistle to the Colossians: ‘‘When Christ shall appear who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory.”’ Resolved A resolution we have passed, Each and every member, That honor is our future badge, And this we must remember. When o’er life’s trail we all must go, For worthwhile joy to capture, A beacon light—our priceless Faith Will e’er our souls enrapture. Mildred Cadrette. 40 Bon Voyage It was the Class of Thirty-six Of good St. Bernard High, And the Freshmen, and Sophomores, and Juniors alike Were sad to say good-bye. Gay were the members of this fine class, Their hearts were aglow with love, And the lessons they learned in their high school days Were sealed with a light from above. The days hurried on with a rapid pace, The parting hour was nigh, And the classmates of dear old Thirty-six Drew many a heavy sigh. They pondered at length on the future days, And wondered what fortune they'd bring, But their happy souls drove sorrow away, As their joyful hearts did sing. Such was the Class of Thirty-six In their school life's after-glow, God bless them all in their future life, And success on them bestow. 41 ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE - - - ACTIVITIES 43 Socials As we glance through the class books dating from 1929, the year of the first graduating class from the new high school, up to the present time, 1936, it needs no second glance to show our marked progress in every field of activity even in our social functions. Throughout the socials which have been conducted in the gymnasium, have been attended by the good, fun-loving boys and girls of Saint Bernard High School. Perhaps a large contributing factor, relative to the success of these func- tions has been the limitation in attendance to Saint Bernard’s pupils. As the gym is necessarily limited in size to its four walls, the number allowed must also be limited to our pupils, for if otherwise there would be many dancing with tears in their eyes because of their toes. Among the socials held during the past year the more important were: 1. Hallowe’en Social, of October 31, 1935, under the auspices of the Junior Class. 2. The Football dance given under the auspices of the athletic association. 3. Washington social held February 19, 1936, and under the di- rection of the Junior class. At all these the gym was colorfully decorated as fitted the occasion. On Hallowe’en, it was decorated in black and orange; blue and white formed the colors of the football dance. An additional feature of this dance was the foot- ball table with all its revealing facts about the players. The more recent Wash- ington social was very colorful with its dimmed lights in red, white and blue decorations. A picture of our first president adorned one end of the hall and lent that peculiar, peaceful charm which only the image of our loved Washing- ton can give. The programs given in the school auditorium especially hold a great in- terest among the students. The foremost of these was the Christmas entertain- ment. I'he address of welcome was given by George Fischer. Nell Geary de- livered a speech commemorating the anniversary of Right Reverend Monsignor to the priesthood. A play of the nativity was presented by the following cast.

Daniel McCarthy ‘Treasure Lest we forget the friends we have made, Lest youthful dreams grow dim and fade, Lest we should wander away from the right, A treasure of mem’ries will e’er greet our sight; When laboring hard in life’s busy mart When joys will desert us and troubles will start, When clouds of deep sorrow before us will rise, A treasure all golden—our class book we'll prize. Daniel McCarthy 39 ATHLETICS Football Coach—JOSEPH T. TARPEY Asst. Coach—EDWARD J. SULLIVAN Captain—FRANCIS FISCHER Manager—-FRANCIS VAILLANCOURT Asst. Manager—-ROBERT PELLETIER Our 1936 football team enjoyed a very successful season winning three of its games, losing three and tying one. This past year assured St. Bernard’s of a standing equal to that of schools twice its size and shows that the untiring work of Coaches Tarpey and Sullivan has not gone unrewarded. This year marked the opening of what promises to be a long and interest- ing series of games with Fitchburg High. Such teams as Gardner, Holyoke, St. Peter’s, and others of this class were met and our club displayed a very clever brand of football. Members of the Class of ’36 who were outstanding are: Captain Franny Fischer, an able leader and an inspiration to his mates. He was kept out of the first few games with a severe knee injury but came back and played a sterling game for the remainder of the season. Next we have Julie Blais who proved himself one of the best ends ever developed at St. Bernard’s. He is a cool, level-headed chap and served as acting captain during Captain Fischer’s absence. Then we have Tommy ‘‘Pep’’ Shea who was the sparkplug of the team and incidentally the best ground gainer. Although Pep was small, he was a thorn in the sides of our opponents. Next in line comes Phil Haverty, the Leominister lad who played the center position. He was a rock of Gibraltar and halted many an assault upon our goalposts. Phil was in the thick of every play and deserves a lot of praise. Franny Allen, who acted as our blocking back and threw our passes, gave up his job to play football and proved to be a better football player than a clerk. Rudy Vaillancourt and Bud Rogan received injuries during the 1934 sea- son and were unable to participate in this year’s sports. 54 Jimmy McCarthy was one of the best punters on the squad and Paul Flaherty furnished the comedy at practice and on the trips. Andy Killilea was a hard working guard with a never say die spirit that resulted in his being a valuable asset to the squad. Phil Monahan also played but as he is responsible for this writeup, noth- ing more will be said. The game with Fitchburg High was the first game of the season and every boy on the team gave a glowing account of himself. We emerged from this game on the short end of a 6-0 score, but as our team was greatly outweighed, this was in no way discouraging. Our second game was with St. Peter’s High and the heavy Worcester aggregation was taken into camp by our faster team, a score of 13-0. Then the following week we defeated the strong Angel Guardian outfit by the same score. Once more superior teamwork defeated a strong and plucky opponent. We went to Holyoke and in a poorly played game were defeated 18-14. Our dejected feelings were hurt once more the ensuing week when we went to Gardner and were defeated 13-0 in a hard game played in a sea of mud. We got into the win column on the following Saturday when we went to Milford and defeated St. Mary’s 20-7. Every boy on the squad saw action in this game. We closed the season at home with Athol as our guests. When the final whistle had blown, the score stood at 7-7. Our compliments to the Atholites. Thus the curtain of conclusion was drawn upon our careers as high-school gridders. If in the opinion of our opponents we have accomplished anything in the interest of good sportsmanship our efforts have not been in vain.

Next Appleton Academy went down to defeat at the hands of our basketeers. Our next victory was at the ex- pense of the alumni. This winning streak was broken by Fitchburg High at the B. PF. Brown gym in a closely played game. Our fast passing five easily won the next two games with St. Louis and St. Mary’s High Schools being the opponents. Then the boys went down to defeat in the season’s best game bowing to a powerful St. Peter’s quintet in an overtime period. The tall Sacred Heart team also took the measure of our smaller team in a loosely played game on our home floor. We then dropped successive games to Fitchburg, St. Louis, St. Peter’s, and Gardner. This slump was caused by the ineligibility of three of the members of the first squad. With these boys back in the lineup once more our quintet easily trimmed St. Mary’s and closed the season in a blaze of glory by marching over the Sacred Heart team to the tune of forty-two to twenty-five for the worst beat- ing ever administered said team on its own floor. Members of the class of thirty-six on the first team were: Captain Julie Blais who certainly earned his captaincy by brilliant per- formance and who lived up to his high grade of play throughout the season. His height was a decided advantage and he used it to block many an opponent's shot as well as to flip the ball through enemy netting time and time again. Tommy Shea—a bulwark on the defense and a dead shot for the basket. Who could ask for better guarding or shooting than that exhibited by this member of the team. 56 ay Jimmy McCarthy—wWe all know of Jim’s ability to come through in the tight places and his sensational shots will long be remembered. These boys formed the backbone of the team and their steady work during the entire sea- son was outstanding. Our second team under the capable direction of Assistant Coach Edward J. Sullivan won the second team championship of the Eastern Massachusetts Division of the Catholic League. The team went through the season dropping only league games and enjoyed the distinction of defeating every league team which it met. Senior members of the second team were: Paul Plaherty—although handicapped by his much broken little finger. Paul certainly was mighty in ability and dangerous in the crucial moments. Raymond Stanley—a fast, high scoring forward who was always at his best in the heat of the battle. Paul McDowell—lanky center whose eye for the basket proved to be the Waterloo of many of the teams which were encountered. And last but by no means least we have— Joseph Roddy—a quick thinker and a fast passer who figured in the many triumphs of his championship team. All in all the °36 season proved to be a very successful one and it is here that we wish to express our heartiest appreciation on to our able coaches ‘‘Joe’’ Tarpey and ‘Eddie’ Sullivan for their untiring efforts in whipping into shape athletic outfits so formidable.
