eee TIMOTHY JOHN COFFEY “He was wont to speak plain, and to the purpose.” Although he appears to possess a quiet and culm reserve, Tim is one of the most fun-loving Seniors. He does not let his humor get the best of him, however, which may be suf- ficiently proven by his f ine scholas- tic record. His plans are in the business line, and we are unanimous in wishing his success. EDWARD FRANCIS CONNELLY The picture of an active lad, Never tired, never sad.” Ed came to us as a Junior just in time to teach us how to translate “Cicero.” He always had a joke up his sleeve and kept our class in good spirits. He was one of the carefree members who usually managed to have a ‘‘pink slip’ in his pocket. Good luck, Ed, and we'll see you in Room 22 at 1:30. EILEEN TERESA CONNELLY “Quiet and industrious she sticks to every task.” Eileen is a happy light-hearted girl, full of pep, vim, and vigor. We feel sure that her unfailing good spirits and naturally cheerful dispo- sition will carry her through any position and every situation. Here’s to you Eileen! May you always keep that sunny smile! ELLEN Mary CONWAY “As merry as the day is long.’ When you meet a girl alive with wit and gaity, full of life and energy then you know you have met Ellen. She never wears a worried look for she feels that life is too short to be unhappy. Continue the good work, Ellen, and do not forget your friends. 18 MarRGARET ELIZABETH CONWAY The better known the greater is her worth.” We should not be amazed that such a charming person could be so ioially unaware of her own good qualities, for after all that is the greatest charm of Margaret's. It took only a few days of acquaintance to make us appreciate her worth, and her ever thoughtful quiet way singled her out as a steady and de- pendable classmate. We will al- ways remember Margaret and our happy days together. GEORGE RICHARD CONROY Blessings on thee, little lad.” “Red”? comes to us daily from South Fitchburg, and always ap- peared long before the 8:15 bell. A cheery smile always lit up his coun- tenance even on the hardest of days. We are not sure of his plans but wish him luck in all his under- takings. JOSEPH VINCENT CROWN “A loyal school companion is J Joseph.” Not many of us have had the chance to know Joe as he really is. Although bashful among his class- mates, from outside reports we learn that Joe is really very witty. We also learned that Joe is an expert elevator tender, and as he so often went up in the elevator he will like- wise go up the ladder to future success. ERNEST THOMAS DAUPHINAIS “His interests range o'er everything, and many views he holds,” Ernie comes all the way from West Fitchburg, and is one of these boys who prefers listening atten- tively to having the floor. Through- out the four years we have found much to admire in him and much to value in his sincerity and straight- forwardness which we feel he will display to much advantage in his future life. Best of luck to you, Ernie, from the class of “37”.

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.

ALPHONSE SyLvio Di Narpo “His music has its lingering charms, from voice and violin.” “AI” is a commercial student and a first “‘Kriesler’’ in our orchestra. His steady determination and indus- try will be a reminder to all of us when we leave school to satisfy our laudable ambitions. Here’s wishing you success, “Al.” ELIZABETH MARGARET DOHERTY “Better to be small and shine than to be great and cast a shadow.” This can be said of Betty at all times. Around the classroom she is quiet and demure but in her out- side activities you really see her jolly nature. We know that her winsome character will not change and the class of ‘37’’ wishes her the best of luck in whatever profession she may follow. FRANCES MAryY DONAHUE “Though in pleasure she is bent, she has a frugal mind.” Frannie is one of the popular members of our class, attractive, charming, a good dancer, and the possessor of a lively sense of humor. She hasn’t told any of us her plans for the future, but we think that the world of business will offer her the best of opportunities. Mary THERESA DONELAN A diligent student, not without result.” Mary is one of our talented musi- cians and music appears to be her chief interest, although she eagerly pursued the sports and other activi- ties of school life. Her work in the orchestra has been most faithful, while much credit is due to her in the Bookkeeping Class. May suc- cess be yours, Marty. 19 EpDWwarD FRANCIS DRISCOLL ‘A ruddy and a steady chap, that wends his way along.” Ed is the perfect model of the dignified senior, and we know that some day his perseverance and abil- ity coupled with his generosity and kindness will bring him his just re- ward and success. All through high school he has displayed these ad- mirable qualities and our apprecia- tion can be summed up only in our earnest wish for his successful fu- ture. Good luck, Ed. RAYMOND FRANCIS DUANE “No worries ever trouble him He’s always light of heart.” Ray has been with us for three years, but it didn’t take us half that time to discover what a happy, cheerful chap he is. Nothing seems to worry him, except that once in a while he can’t figure out how to get his homework done for the next period. May the coming years only augment your blithe, gay spirits, Ray. LORRAINE DUBOIS “That gentle mind by gentle deed is known.” Lorraine is an unfailing example of what real goodness is, both in regard to student ability, and genial companionship. We are certain that her efforts cannot go long unre- warded in a world that recognizes real merit. LorETTA LILLIAN DUVAL A sweet attractive kind of grace.” Loretta, the ever smiling pal from South Fitchburg, is a most success- ful and prominent member of our commercial course. Because of her steady and dauntless ambition, she will undoubtedly go far in the fu- ture, and ‘37’ wishes her the best of luck. |
