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

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

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
