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.

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.

ARTHUR EDWARD CARBONNEAU “Wisdom speaks little, but that little well.” “Carby’”’ is a member of the class coming from Waites Corner, and is he proud of it? Who wouldn't be! He does not do much talking, and certainly leaves time for work as well as play. He is a friend of all and we wish him luck and know he will be a success in the future. EMMA CATHERINE CARPENTER “A girl who quietly wends her way, And does her duty day by day.’ Emma is another of our West Fitchburg students. She made her- self known by her cheerful chatter and abundant laughter. Although Emma is a little Miss, she could often be heard without being seen. Her plans are unknown to us, but we know that with her excellent scholastic record she will mount high. Best of luck for the future, Emma. JOHN PATRICK CARROLL “Not too serious, not too gay. A good fellow in every way.” John was known as the live-wire of the class, or to put it mildly a genial classmate. His work in foot- ball was most creditable, while his interest in all sports never waned. His captivating smile and stalwart frame made him a popular figure about school. We all join in wish- ing John much success in the future. MIRIAM GENEVIEVE CASASSA “Golden memories of a beautiful voice.” Although Miriam’s love of re- tirement has kept her from the pub- lic eye to a certain extent, still such ability as hers did not remain un- noticed. With the future ahead we know that she will not fail to make an enviable record, and our best wishes go with her. 19 JOSEPH ACHILLE CATTEL “Play up, play up, and play the game.” Joe came to us from across the bridge. Industrious, energetic, and faithful in all his undertakings he has particularly distinguished him- self on the basketball court as well as being our signal-caller on the gridiron. Although he was kept busy by athletics he always managed to keep his studies deserving of honor. He has not informed us of his plans but we know that he will respond wholeheartedly to any task. HELEN MARIE CHARTRAND “Tis good will that makes intelligence.” What distinguished Helen during the four years was her readiness to respond to any call for help. Ever- gracious, tactful, and sympathetic she won a ready access to our hearts. What her plans for the future are we don’t know, but our sincere wishes go with her. LUCILLE GERTRUDE CHAINEY “Gentle in personage, conduct, and equi page.” Lucille has always contributed a tone of dignity and reassurance to the class which has made her class- mates conscious of the extent of her worth. In her we have discovered sympathy, good humor, and deter- mination of character that will carry her far in life. Best of luck, Lucille. ELsik JULIA COCKLIN “True to her word, her work, and her friends.” Elsie’s blue eyes and charming ways make her a favorite with all. She and Mary were often seen to- gether and made a delightful com- bination. Despite her good times, however, she made a good record as a student. We hope the future will hold for her the realization of all her wishes.
