RAYMOND JOSEPH LAMOTHE “Unassuming, pleasant, kind. His zeal for work is unconfined.” Ray comes from Leominster which he praises at all times—the duty of a loyal citizen, of course. Attentive to work, but gay and debonair, he has won our affection from the start. As our hearts are not fickle we can persuade Ray that our af- fection goes with him as he departs from his alma mater. Doris Martz LANDRY “Indeed she was a merry lass.” Doris, the ever happy, glowing spirit of our class, has learned per- haps to sail serenely through class hours, from her persistent, steady practice of roller-skating. As the skates roll smoothly on so does her happy, carefree days. May life con- tinue to flow gently for you always, Doris. BEATRICE WINIFRED LAVIN “Loyal, lovable, sweet and true. A friend to everyone she knew.” The irrepressible blonde indivi- dual in Room 21 is nick-named “Bea.” When things go wrong she becomes a bit impatient but for a short while only, as her sunny gen- ial spirits crop up more vital than ever. An automobile accident kept her down a few weeks, but she came back with more pep than ever. “Keep it up, Bea.” EpitH STELLA LAVOIE “Ouietly she'll reach her goal with many honors on her scroll.” “Vivacious’”’ is the most suitable epithet that we can apply to Edith. She tripped noiselessly in and out of classes, making life hum in her cap- acity for work. Stenography and Typing were her pets so that we all expect to hear of her rapid advance- ment in the business world. xt Se ancl 4 24 Mary MARGARET LEAVITT “She is sweet and gentle of voice, an excellent thing in woman.” They tell us that Mary intends to take up the nursing profession, but personally she is a born teacher. Her affable calm poise was not bestowed for any other reason than to guide along the paths of learning the rest- less turbulent youth of today. Best wishes Mary, in either sphere. Cora DorotHy LEDUC “Beneath that shy exterior there lies a heart of gold.” After four years of hard work, Cora finds herself about to leave us. She is one of the few girls who isn't worrying about a position next year, for we hear that she has had many offers, one of which she in- tends to accept. We know that she will succeed in this difficult task as secretary as she has in the past. IRENE ROSE LEGER “She was a phantom of delight when first she danced upon my sight.” Irene is our petite brunette from West Fitchburg. She is often seen around school with her pal “Cal.” We are not as yet informed of Irene’s future plans but we think she will follow her sister's footsteps. Mary GRACE LELLI “She's the embodiment of womanly poise and character.” Mary is a dark-eyed mischievous young lady who has entertained us . for four years with her everlasting humor and good nature. Whenever Mary glances at you, beware! for one never knows. what is coming next. Good luck, Mary, and we hope you'll be that private secretary that we've heard so much about.

LucILLE Mary KEATING Serene and resolute and still, and calm and self-possessed.”’ “Lucy” is one of the sunbeams of the school who can always be seen with a smile on her face. She is one who never fails to appreciate a joke. A good ‘student who hasn't neglected the social side of school life and will be long remembered for her gracious compliance when a helping hand was needed. May you meet with every happiness in the future, Lucybell. BERNARD JOHN KEENAN Quietly he speeds ahead, to get there is his aim.” Bernard takes the 7:45 bus each morning from the West. He is al- ways on time because he does not believe in sessions. Each day he takes home books and we believe he prepares all his work because of his good recitations. He has made many friends during his four years. that will never forget his pleasant con- versations and contagious laugh. CATHERINE Mary KELLIHER Few things are impossible to dilt- gence and skill.” Catherine, our zealous little bru- nette, is never a shirker when it comes to class work. Always ready for recitations she certainly has found the way for a creditable role in the field of business. May oppor- tunity knock at your door soon, “Catty,’ for we know that it will find you prepared. JOHN FRANCIS KELLY “Inflexible in faith, invincible in work.” “Kel,” as he is known to a great many of us, has changed consider- ably since his Treshman year. He was then very demure, but today he can hold his own in any czbate or controversy, where skill in rhetoric or argumentation is required. Here's for a glowing career Francis, in the world of law. 23 Mary BERNARDINE KILMARTIN “Zealous yet modest; innocent and sweet,” Scarcely any of the pupils came to our notice more quickly than Mary. We know that the patients at St. Vincent’s hospital will be greatly relieved when they meet their little nurse with those clear blue eyes and constant smile. The entire class of °37 will be for you Mary, as we are now. EVELYN Mary KIVLEHAN Tf you seek graciousness, Here you find your quest.” “Kivvy” is our sparkling wit from the northern sphere. There she di- vides her time between skating and dancing, while in our midst she has never ceased in the pursuit of learn- ing. Here we trust that her zeal for study will not wane until she has made a record-breaking career. MILDRED MArRy KRULIC “Her smile was prodigal of the sun's bright rays.” “Millie's golden locks’’ lend a soft halo to the gentleness that char- acterizes her facial expression. Gay but at the same time dignified and reserved she will ever dwell in our thoughts as a loyal little classmate whom all loved to meet. MARGUERITE OLIVE LAFORTUNE Gentle of speech, beneficient of mind.” Marguerite is our gay, jolly and happy-go-lucky student, another of our Florence Nightingales! She has certainly all the requisites for the making of a splendid nurse from the genial, happy smile to the tire- less pursuit of knowledge, while a healthy interest in manual work should list her career as a top-not- cher. We're with you, Marguerite, don’t forget.

JOHN JOSEPH LODGE “A veteran of many full days, he sets the pace in varied ways.” John is the best pal a boy could have and he comes from Leominster at that. It may be a surprise to many of his classmates to learn that John is a talented artist. His modesty prevented the fact from becoming wide spread. Here’s luck to you, John. CARMELA PHYLLIS LUNETTA “There's ability in knowing how to conceal one’s ability.” Carmela, who is nick-named ‘“‘Mol- ly” is one of our best looking senior girls. During her four years in high school, her name has often appeared on the high honor or honor rolls. We know that she will get far in the business world because of her ability to think first and act later. Best wishes from the class of 737, Molly. Mary MaArGARET LYNCH “She was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud.”’ The phrase “To know her is to love her’ fits this young Miss very well. Her winning smile and pleas- ant manner will be her great asset in the outside world. Very often at 8 o’clock you would see Mary just starting over the hill toward school with an exclamation of “Will I ever get there?’’ Good luck Mary. ALBINA MARIE MALOUIN A friend in need is a friend in deed.” Albina is quiet, reserved, but a most congenial companion. The day she joined our ranks we knew that we had won a sincere friend. Since Albina intends to be a nurse we are certain another Florence Nightingale will honor this world of ours. 25 JOSEPH ARTHUR MARCEAU “He lends his voice and leads them on to victory;—our athletes.” Joe is one of our best cheer- leaders. He is always on the side lines ready to give a hearty yell. His friendliness with all was his distinguishing characteristic. Ever since he came to us from the other end of the city he made himself right at home, which of course made us all feel right at home too. Loads of luck, Joe, from all your pals. EUGENIA KATHARINE MARSH “A smile she has and a helping hand, whenever there is need.” In every class there is a group who seem to overcome the scholas- tic barrier with the utmost ease— especially by a sunny smile and a cheerful word. In such a group we place Eugenia. She will ever re- main with us as the lass who smiled at things others worried about, the girl with the serious face and twink- ling eyes. MarIAN PHILA MARSH “Thus I steer my bark and sail on even keel, and gentle gale.” Marian impressed us deeply from the beginning by her sincerity, ap- plication to study, and capacity for fun. We all wondered how these diversified elements could mingle so harmoniously in one small per- son, but Marian is the living proof that such a case is true. May the future be a bright sojourn, Marian, in our good old world. MARGARET Mary McCarTHy “To live with her, and live with thee, In unreproved, pleasures free.” We all have to admit that Mar- garet is a most enjoyable classmate. She is always polite, friendly and entertaining. No wonder she is always surrounded by an admiring host of friends. Let us hope that as years go by her circle of friends will grow larger and larger.
