GRACE FELICcITAS ALTOBEL “Her dark eyes, how eloquent!” Full of vitality and energy, Grace has gained a good many frieads in her four years in High School. She is already established in the business world, we are informed, as a secre- tary. Good Luck, Gracie! Mary ELizABETH AMBROSE “It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends.” Our Mary may be distinguished for her very rare copper curls. She has acquired a fund of knowledge which she is placing to best advan- tage in a newly secured position in a business firm as stenographer. Best of luck, Mary. We are all with you. LEON JOHN BEBICK Wise to resolve, and patient to perform.” Leon is one of our best commer- cial pupils. We've heard that he thinks bookkeeping is not hard. It must be (to him) since his name has so often been on the Honor Roll. If we would be all as com- posed as Leon, there would probably be more dignity found in connection with that great name Senior. Keep ¢ wp, Leon. CARMELA ANTANETTE BELLIO “Every why has a wherefore, and She seeks it in her books.” Carmela has been one of the earn- est toilers of our class and was gen- erally found engaged in the prepara- tion of home assignments. Her re- serve and willingness to help have won for her friendship in abund- ance. As for her future, we know that her loyalty will go far in mak- ing her life a happy one. 15 ARTHUR BELLIVEAU “By name and nature he can win. Success just seems to smile on him.” Jerry joined us in Sophomore year and greatly impressed us by his good looks. He particularly distin- guished himself in the realm of sports and would rather play basket- ball than eat. His rare qualities as coach were revealed in his work with Squad B which was of high grade. Hope the future years will reveal more clearly your athletic ability, Jerry. MICHAEL ANTHONY CAPONE “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and where there’s fun there’s Mike. How true! He has often entertained us with tap dancing, too. Don't for- get to tap up the ladder of success, Mike. ROLAND JOSEPH BENOIT “You're sure to hear much of his deeds This worker, true and steady.” Although our acquaintance with Roland has been short, it has, never- theless, been a source of pleasure to his classmates. He is a reticent young man who also has his lighter moments. It is a real treat for us all to see his broad friendly smile and his restrained but enjoyable de- light in some triviality. We are un- animous Roland, in wishing you the best of success in the future. EDWARD PATRICK BIRD “Brevity is a great praise of eloquence.” “Buddy,” our sole representative from Whalom, has been one of the scholarly boys of our class. His willingness for work and his ready sense of humor have gained for him an enviable reputation in geniality. Buddy plans to enter Baltimore Medical School in the fall and we, his classmates, unite in offering him our sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous future.

CLASS OFFICERS ROBERT JAMES TWINING “Rugged as the mighty oak And unsurpassed in sports.’ Bob has led the class of °37 faithfully for two years and therefore has an esteemed and honored position among his classmates. He was not only a great man on the gridiron but was also Co-Captain of the Foot- ball Team which under his leadership staged many vic- tories. He is always the center of activity and is ex- ceptionally courteous in all demands. The Senior Class of ’37 wish Bob the best of luck in whatever field his future interests may lie. ’ Mary THERESA GUMBLETON “Always pleasant and always. bright, Whatever she does is always right.” Mary, the Vice-president of our class is one of the most popular members. Wherever there is fun, Mary is sure to be present, and is most probably the cause. Basketball and dancing are her favorite pastimes when she is not intent on lessons. For her kindliness and interest in all our activities we thank her most heartily and hope her future days will have bright sunny skies. ANNA ELEANOR HURLEY “A winning way, a pleasant smile - And yet most thoughtful all the while.” Anna, who has served as Secretary of our class, has measured up to a creditable standing both in scholastic rank and social activities. Seldom has her name been missing from the Honor Roll. Her pet diversion is dancing, and incidentally we found out that she is also the tailoress of our class. Her pleasant smile endeared her to us from the beginning. We all trust that in her future career in the business world, success will loom high on her horizon. JAMES MARK RAHER “So impatient, full of action Full of manly pride and friendship.” Jimmie ranked as an excellent student and at the same time attained a grade of A-1 in the realm of wit. He was never conspicuous for absence from any school function. Along with actively guarding the class treas- ury, he also managed skilfully the exchequer of St. Leo’s Boys Club. Jimmy plans to go to Catholic Uni- versity in September, and we know that we'll find him still smiling there as in the days at St. Bernard’s. 14

MARGUERITE CLAIRE BOUDREAU “The mildest manners, and the gent- lest heart.” Marguerite is one of our pretty brunettes. She is always there when it is a question of fun. The bas- ketball games would be a failure without her lusty cheering. With such enthusiasm we know our Mar- guerite will score well in life. KENNETH GEORGE BREAU “Just a bit reserved, Cheery in his smile!’ Kenney came to us in his sopho- more year and was one of our out- standing personalities. | Although books did not seem to worry Kenny he has made a good record during his three years. As manager of the “Bernardian’” he showed his willing- ness for hard work which accounts a great deal for the success of that enterprise. Best of luck for the fu- ture, Kenny. SOPHIE ANNE BuDRICK “Humility is always grace, always dignity.” Few in the class have won as much respect for character and admiration for pluck as this earnest pursuer of the light of knowledge. Womanly in every sense of the word Sophie leaves us to take up the profession of nursing, bearing away with her our deep friendship and admiration. JOSEPH FRANCIS Woops To his tasks devoted with grit and even mien.” If knowledge were power, Joe would be a dictator long ago. Al- though his studies kept him busy, he managed to star on our Football Teams as well as in Baseball. His unquestioned ability as a chemist last year proved to us what field he would pursue. May you preserve this talent, Joe, for in it are mak- ings of future greatness. JOHN FRANCIS BuRNS, JR. “Today whatever may annoy | The word for me is simple joy.” Here we might say we have a perfect example of contentment. Many days would have been gloomy but for the ever-beaming smile and good nature that John persistently bore. We hope that in years to come we will find him still kindly and smiling as in the days at St. Bernard's. HELEN LOUISE BYRNE In interest and right spirit call On Helen to lead the way.” Helen our unobtrusive and retir- ing little classmate has come in for a large share of our affection. Dur- ing the days that we journeyed to- gether through high school she ever displayed a loyalty and firmness that we will long remember. The world is in need of such, and so with much assurance we bestow upon it our worthy Helen. SAMUEL PHILIP CALI “I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly.” Sam is a cheerful fellow, always in good humor. He starred on our Football Team and would have be- come a good basketball player were it not for his trick knee. Sam was a great follower in the sports in which he did not participate, and a frequent attendant at school activi- ties. We offer Sam our best wishes. Mary MARGARET Woops “Her hair was not more sunny than her heart.” Mary is famous for her lilting in- fectious laughter. She entered with a ready spirit into all school activi- ties as the successful results show. Although she has been with us but for two years, we are aware that as her firm friends and staunch allies, we will always be with her and wish her happiness and success.
