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.

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. ,

JOHN FRANCIS RICE “Your innermost thoughts he is sure to surmise.” John is one of those rare indivi- duals who can make life worth while as Tom and Carby will tes- tify. No matter what the circum- stances may be he can adapt himself to the situation. He is faithfully executing his powers as president of the Spanish Club. May you con- tinue the good work, John, when you are a student at State Teachers College. ADELARD GERARD RICHARD T live not in myself But I become a portion of that around me,” Our future lawyer or Congress- man. That is how we regard Ade- lard. He is noted for his eloquent speeches in the Debating Club, and we know we will not be disap- pointed to see him rise rapidly to heights never yet attained. ANNE Louise RIORDAN “A pair of eyes entrancingly bright Behind which lies a mischievous light” Another member of the illustrious class of °37 whom we will be sorry to leave is our own little Anne. Worries never seem to cross her path or if they do, they fail to dampen the exuberance of her mirth. Anne will probably be nursing us all some day, and we know we will have nothing to fear about under such competent care and sympathy. Mary ELIZABETH ROBERTS “The joy of youth and mischief her eyes displayed.” Marty is one of the livliest mem- bers of the class, for she never seems to tire of activity. She was just one more loyal follower at all athletic games and helped greatly in securing victory by her lusty whole- hearted cheering. Keep on cheering, Mary, you're not wasting time. 29 CLAIRE ANITA ROULEAU “Good humor only teaches charms to last.” Although Claire is more often seen than heard, she thoroughly en- joys a joke, for we often find her still giggling after most of us have sobered down. She has a reputation of producing in an efficient manner neatly typed letters. Thus we are placing her in some large firm’s office after graduation. RiTA ROSE ST. JEAN ‘Born for success, she seemed with grace to win.’ Rita, our Cleghorn belle, is a member of the Commercial Course, and is another one of our students whose name has appeared on the Honor Roll. She just delights in ac- quiring knowledge, a trait not often found among high school pupils. We hope that such a justifiable quality will meet its merited reward. Mary JOSEPHINE SCIABARASSI ‘Companion of the wise and good.” Mary evidently followed Shakes- peare’s suggestion for she was sel- dom heard, and when she did launch forth, it was with such subdued tones, that we must unanimously place her in the great dramatist’s ideal class. Keep it up, Mary, it is worth while. - JOSEPHINE MARIE SHEA “Her friends there are many Her foes, are there any?” One of the most lovable members of our class is the ever cheeful “Jo.” Brimming over with mirth we usu- ally find her talking if not smiling. Don’t forget, however, that she can be ambitious and serious. We think she would make a wonderful nurse since she has the requisite qualities in such abundance. No doubt her schedule would be a continually full one.
