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.

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.

MARGARET CATHERINE MCCORMACK “A friendship that makes the least noise, is very often the most useful.” Sparkling eyes and a winning smile — that’s Margaret, and there was never a more loyal supporter of all school activities. Generous and helpful almost to a fault, she was ever regarded in all groups as a most popular classmate, and she leaves with the best wishes of all her friends. HENRY JAMES McCDERMOTT “Sincerity 1s a trait of true and noble manhood.” Henry has been with us all through the years, and as graduation ap- proaches, the links that bind our friendship becomes stronger and our regret at parting greater. His work on the Debating Team has been most creditable and we feel certain that his record in English will carry him far in the field of Journalism. CATHERINE MARIE McGowan “It is good to lengthen to the list a sunny mood.” The Senior Class wouldn’t be complete without ‘Cal.’ Her merry laughter could always be heard ring- ing out during each recess. To en- liven the pastimes “Cal” was always the one to be sought. Keep up the good spirit, Cal, for it means mak- ing the world a better place to live. GEORGE JOSEPH McGuIiIRK, Jr. “With sparkling bits of humor, he drives the blues away.” George is popular with every member of his class. It is his simple way of being a good friend and square shooter that has made him one of the best liked seniors. He has an excellent scholastic record, having attained the High Honor Roll many times during his course. Hope we will have the pleasure of often meeting in the days to come, George. JOHN THOMAS MCNAMARA “Serene, determined, kind and true.’ John is a quiet and amiable lad both in school and wherever you meet him. He is a sport-loving fan and has been always present at the contests. His reticence hides his fu- ture plans from us so we take leave of him with best wishes. GLADYS IRENE MERCIER “No matter what her rank or post- tion may be, a worthy classmate one may see.” Gladys’ wide popularity is in great measure due to a courteous demeanor and a cheerful counten- ance. Her lady-like composure at all times delighted us and predicts a splendid career as a trained nurse. Good luck, Gladys. RENE JOSEPH MOQUIN “Thanks to the man who invented sleep.” Rene’s infectious mirth, and love of fun, accompanied him to school every day, so that at his entrance into class the atmosphere become charged with gaiety. His ‘Sax’ played an important part in his school schedule and we expect to hear of his marvelous achievements in orchestral circles in the near future. MARGARET ANN MORAN ‘(A comrade blithe and full of glee’ “Maggs” is a friend to all and a very generous one at that. She is usually surrounded by a group of merry, happy school girls—she, be- i-g the merriest of them all. Her future interests lie-in Art, and we expect great things from her in that field.
