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. |

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”.

: ) 1] i} ee ARTHUR ROBERT DWYER On either side he could dispute, Confute, change hands and still confute.” Art is one of our very studious boys who believes in completing all his tasks. Outside of school he spends his time at work but certainly finds time for pleasure also. His name has been found on the honor and high honor rolls several times during his course in high school. He is a loyal supporter at all sports, and how he cheered the teams to victory! Best of luck in all your work. LAVENIA AGNES EISNER All golden thoughts, all wealth of days, friendship, love surround her.’ Levy is one of our fair maidens from Leominster who ever upheld the high scholastic standard of her class. She kept her real hobby from us, but now that the secret is out we will not betray it. Here’s hoping for much success and happiness, Levy. JOHN DANIEL EsPIE Thou art a fellow of good respect’ Here we have the assistant editor of our class book and a very indus- trious one at that. None of us would consider our class complete without John’s pleasant countenance. Were we limited to one word in describing John that word would undoubtedly be — sincerity. This quality has marked and characterized him since his coming to us and has consequently obtained for him the true, loyal friendship of all his classmates. THERESA MARIE FARINEAU “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit,’’ Theresa is one of the girls on the quiet list. She is a demure young lady with raven locks and big brown eyes. Although Theresa did not participate in all school activities she gave her loyal support on all necessary occasions. She intends to become a telephone operator. Here’s luck, Theresa. 20 Lucy HELENA FATTORI “Gentle to others, to herself severe.” Lucy is a member of the Com- mercial class. She can't be surpassed for her gentleness and courtesy. Very often her name topped the Honor Roll which fact revealed cap- abilities that combined with rare poise will secure a worthwhile post in the field of business. Success in abundance, Lucy. THOMAS ALBERT FITZGIBBON “A kindly and obliging youth, A smile that always wins.” Fitzie is one of our stellar athletes who has-shone in class as well as on the basketball floor. He was chosen left guard on the All Tournament - Team, when he displayed ability that brought credit to his Alma Mater. For some reason or other he is generally seen in the vicinity of the school. We certainly will miss Tom’s alibis and are unanimous in offering him the best wishes for the future. EMILE ANDRE FLUET “Little said is sooner mended.” Emile travels far in order to join our ranks as he lives on a distant eminence overlooking the city. Al- though quiet and unassuming in school he has made an enviable re- cord for himself in the Guy de Fontgalland Drum Corps. Best of luck to you, Emile. JOHN PAUL FLYNN “Enough of humor does he find.” John swears allegiance to the West. His specialty seems to cen- ter around baseball, but his friends claim that he has great ability in football too. We hope that he will continue the good work and win great fame in one of the great leagues. Here’s hoping for much success, John.
