: ) 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.

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. |

ARMAND ‘JOSEPH GELINAS “A quiet mind is richer than a crown.” “Gelly” is a pleasant, playful chap. He’s always performing little pranks, and helps to keep every one in good humor. Armand should make a hit with Hal Roach some day, and we hope that then he will remember his pals of high school days. JENNIE Mary GERANTE She was made for happy thoughts, for pleasant wit and laughter.’ Whenever you see or hear of Jen- ie you think of her delightful dim- ples and those big brown eyes. She has made many friends but has kept them always in suspense, for one never knows what plans gleam from her sparkling orbs. Good luck, Jennie. — IRENE MATHILDA GILMAN “Persuasion tips her tongue when- ever she talks.” A small package but it certainly contains the best. Irene walks to school daily and does not seem to mind it. We have not heard about her future but wish her every joy. ELAINE PAULINE GINGRAS “Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee, jest, and youthful jolity.” Pauline has brought to us every day a goodly supply of that glow- ing sunshine which they say grows on the Southside. She is a very good specific example of the fact, and we only hope that in the coming years she will not lose any of her bright- ness and charm. Best wishes, Pauline. 21 Mary Doris GouLpD To be merry becomes you.” Mary is Thirty-seven’s ‘Best Bet,” attractive, witty, good-natured, bright what more could any one want? Her popularity is unquestionable as she is always the center of every social affair. She was one of the speakers in the Diocesan Debate. Incidentally, her ‘‘terpsichorean art” is unexcelled. Loads of luck and happy days, Mary. Mary ELIzABETH GRAY “My mind to me a kingdom is.” Mary is best noted for her schol- astic ability; although her many tal- ents may at first seem hidden, be- fore long they make their presence known. She is also a musician of high standing, so it is a foregone conclusion that with this knowledge and arts, she will make the grade. and here’s luck, Mary. JANET MARIE HALEY “A face with gladness spread Soft smiles by human kindness bred” Janet travels from Leominster every day for a Catholic education. She has many capabilities but the most outstanding are those of imi- tating and drawing.» Always her ready smile greets you, and conse- quently we all know that whatever occupation she undertakes, she will succeed. So here we cheer her on to victory. CLAIRE VIRGINIA HANDLIN “She came to us quite lately But soon became our friend.” Curly-top Claire appeared in our midst about five or six months ago and made herself right at home. She came from Bellows Falls, Vt., which she informs us, is the biggest little town in the country. Her broad smile and sunny disposition won us all from the start, and now we take leave of her with much regret.
