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

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

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
