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

- - 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.

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
