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.

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.

THOMAS HENRY MortarTy, JR. “Talented in many ways, yet, oratory his fort.” Tom is quite an electrician, and a capable dignified usher outside of school hours. He more than holds his own in school work too. His work on the Debating Team was such that we expect to send him to the Senate in the near future. DorotHy Mar Morin “Her faith and work were bills of full accord.” Dorothy's good nature and smile has swept along with her to all her classes, and spread to her classmates. Everywhere she goes her smile goes with her and so does ours. We all offer our best wishes for a success- ful career. WILLIAM JOSEPH MoriIN, JR. “Bill makes himself illustrious in doing what you ask.” Bill comes to us from Leominster rain or shine, but he is totally un- aware that his quiet yet pleasant character is so essential to our hap- piness. He and “Del” Richards have been constant companions since their Freshman year. We know that such true companionship will leave last- ing memories of their high-school cays. Continue to strengthen the bonds, William, as time goes on. Marie MARGARET MORLEY “Blue were her eyes like the airy flax.” Marie, always cheerful and sym- pathetic, is everybody's friend. She has bee n a loyal supporter of our Football Team and a player on the Girls’ Basketball Team. Her hearty laugh which has often echoed through the corridors is absolutely guaranteed to chase away the blues. Good luck, Marie. ELIZABETH May NELSON “In all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.” Sincereity, loyalty, and generosity are only a few of ‘“Liz’s’ attributes. She shines in the Shorthand and Bookkeeping classes. Her clear voice will long echo in our ears, and we hope she will be the recipient of boundless luck in the future. DANIEL FRANCIS O'DEA “In everything that’s going he plays an active part.” Our memories of High School days would be incomplete without he sunshine of Danny’s counten- ance. Many days would have been gloomy, indeed, but for the ever- glowing smile and good nature that he persistently bore. We hope that in the days to come we will find him still kindly and smiling as in che days of old. MARGARET O'DEA “Her eyes are homes of silent prayer.” Margaret came to us as a fresh- man and has successfully completed the Commercial Course. Although unusually reserved she has a fine sense of humor which she has often dis- played. The entire class of ’37 unites in wishing her success and happiness. BEVERLY MaryLtys O'DONNELL “A merry, amiable little lass, The youngest of our Senior Class.’ Bev has a distinctive poise which we all admire. The only complaint ever heard from her is that there are not more hours in one day. She is always busy rehearsing with the Orchestra, the Debating Club, and at the same time keeping her name on the High Honor Roll. Her wit and de ermination assure her future success in any activity. ,
