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. ,

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.

FRANCES Mary O’DONNELL “Her air, her manners all who saw admired.” Who is the curly headed brunette in the rear of Room 21 with a dozen books surrounding her? Fran is an energetic pupil who loves to study her lessons when in the right mood. Her future ambition is to become a nurse. Much luck, Fran. ROBERT WILFRED PELLETIER “Active, buoyant, beaming, Of energy, great stores.” Bob is the busiest person you could meet. His energy, ability, and willingness have made him the best manager St. Bernard’s has ever had. Nevertheless his studies did not suf- fer since his name was listed very often on the High Honor Roll. Efficiency and personality such as his are rightly appreciated in the mod- ern world, so we feel assured of Bob’s future. LouisE ALICE PETTS “A cheerful temperament will make beauty attractive.’ A picture of glowing health and happiness we behold each time we gaze upon Louise. Sheer joy of liv- ing often causes her to burst into song, and we would feel lost with- out her at recess. May she always remain the happy carefree girl that she is today. ARTHUR JESS PIERCE “Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others.” Arthur's scholastic ability is sup- erseded only by his never-failing wit and infectious chuckle. The friend of one and all he is generosity per- sonified. Boys such as this are few and far between, and the school does not fail to appreciate his worth. Would that you could continue Ar- thur, forever and a day. 28 JOSEPH ALBERT POULIN A baseball season veteran, Whom rivals cannot rile.’ Joe is a regular attendant at all the school activities particularly all the athletic contests. He served as a member of our Baseball Team where he scored as first class baseman. We don't know whether he will join one of the big leagues next year — but if he does, we'll be there to do the shouting. Mary FRANCES PYNE “Modesty that low sweet root, From which all heavenly virtue Shoot.” Frances is a combination of re- serve and gaiety. During class hours she is as demure as any kitten, but the ever present smile makes you remember the real Fran. On the Basketball floor she was the embod- iment of grace and agility, and if girls were eligible she would have been an outstanding member of the tournament squad. JOHN ROBERT QUINLAN “The rule of my life is to make bus- iness a pleasure and pleasure a business.” Bob is well liked by his com- panions. His chief characteristic is his keen sense of humor. He plans to enter Amherst next year and take up forestry and we know he'll make a great go of it. Here’s wishing you the best, Bob. AIME LUCIEN RHEAULT “Honest, willing, generous, Sincere. A studious mind is present here.” Coming every day from Leomin- ster, Aime won the esteem and re- gard of both students and teachers. Along with being gifted excep- tionally in the physical line, he is a mental giant, and his name was very seldom absent from the Honor Roll. He has shown a marked brilliancy in French, but never failed to master his other subjects of the Classical Course.
