DOMINIC CARNIVALE “Is the goal so far away? Far, how far no tongue can say.” Dominic joined our ranks in Senior year and right off he made us more than realize that he was in our midst. Small but lively and likeable, too, he was ever alert to an occasion of fun. Shall we ever forget .the day he re- lieved Jean of his books! MARCEL EUGENE CARON “He only fears men who does not know them.” Marcel is of a retiring disposition, but we know that underneath his quiet exterior a more pleasant or like- able character coul d not be found. He not only does well in the class- room, but is furthermore one of the best sports of the class. We wish you every success in life, Marcel. JOSEPH ARTHUR CHABOT “The thirst that from the soul doth rise To quaff a drink divine!’’ Joe is the lad whose Oh’s! and Ah’s and boyish actions have re- minded us so much of the popular Edward E. Horton. But he has his serious side too. Joe was always a cheerful chap and his curly hair has been the talk of the school. Besides being a prominent member of the German and Dramatic Clubs he also acquitted himself well in the work of Assistant Manager of the BERNAR- DIAN. BLANCHE OBELINE BODO “Laughing eyes, a merry smile And-a merry, merry heart.”’ Blanche since her coming among us has just laughed herself into our hearts. We cannot but express regret at part- ing from her, and only hope that in the humdrum events of mature years we may at times bask beneath the gladsome luster of her laughing eyes. WINIFRED ELIZABETH BOUDREAU “Daintily little maiden, whither would you wander?”’ Winifred has kept the social sphere of our school at a high level; for gifted with a charming, dignified manner, she has lent her terpsichorean talent to the success of our school activities. With best wishes we take leave of ‘‘Winnie.”’ MARY CECILIA CATALDO “A merry heart ts a good medicine.” We're waiting to hear big things from “‘our Mary,’ in the future. She is planning to be a nurse and we just know she will be a success because she has proved to us that she is a capable worker in whatever sphere she enlists. Loads of luck, from your classmates, Mary. [19]

MARY MARGARET BARRON ‘The sweetest manner, and the gentlest heart.” Mary, petite, demure and friendly, has been an admirable student for four years. Although interested in sports and socials, she has never lagged in her endeavor to attain a high water mark in studies. We think her ambi- tions lie in the teaching profession, and we know that she will be success- ful. CONCETTA MARY BELLIO “Loyal, lovable, sweet and true, A friend to everyone she knew.” Connie came to us in her Sopho- more year from B. F. Brown and brought with her a little loyal soul with a sense of humor. She is ever ready when it is a question of lessons but nevertheless, is first to join the fun and frolic. We hope that she will remember the carefree school days at St. Bernard’s. BRENDA MARGARET BELLIVEAU “The cautious seldom err.” Bren has always been the big sister to our class. She was always the first we would run to for advice. Her natural leadership elevated her to a cheerleader post in her Sophomore year which she has retained through her Senior year. Her willingness to co- operate and her original ideas had much to do with the success of our social activities. We leave her with gratitude and every wish for a happy career. CHESTER JOHN BAKER “A day for toil, an hour for sport But for a friend, life ts too short.’ Chester is a sturdy representative of Westminster of whom the Class of ’38 is justly proud. He was outstanding in the German Club, and in the Debat- ing Club as well. His long list of friends indicates the likeable traits of his character and we trust that the list will increase as the years advance. EDWARD BERNARD BARRETT “His mind his kingdom, and his will his law.”’ Edward's lithe young form moved in and out among us with almost elec- tric force. Always the courteous gen- tleman, he couldn’t but win our esteem: but when it comes to personal neat- ness we award him the. perfect score. How often has not his immaculate; neatly pressed habiliments aroused our admiration and even our envy! Never lose that chief requisite of a finished gentleman, Eddie. EDWARD FRANCIS BOYCE “And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.”’ Ed’s fondest hope is to become the great baseball player his father was. He has another ‘“‘hope’’ also, which we shall not reveal. He has added his talents to the Debating and Dra- matic Clubs and played a fine role in the Christmas Play. Keep right on playing the role of life, with equal force, Eddie. [18]

MARY LOUISE CAVANAUGH “A mind at peace with all below A heart whose love is innocent.” Louise has already won fame, even before graduation, for there is not another Senior who can equal her in the art of knitting suits. But she knits as well in the scholastic line, and we don’t expect to wait long be- fore hearing of her great achievement following graduation. ANNA ELIZABETH CHISHOLM “A damsel of high lineage.” Anna has been a general favorite in all classes because of her naturally amiable and congenial nature. Ever a splendid student she has, however, found time to join in the athletic and social activities, always with a vim and ardent spirit that made her out- standing. Here's luck to Anna. BEATRICE ELIZABETH CLUNAN ““A dark-eyed maid of gentle mien.” “Bea’’ appears to be quiet but ap- pearances are often deceitful, and so it is in this case. We nearly always see “Bea”? in company with Millie and Anna, in animated conversations about lessons we suppose. If we judge from class reports ‘‘Bea’’ never neglects study and we hope a due reward is in store for such fidelity to duty. JOHN WILLIAM CHISHOLM “The world knows little of tts great- est men.” John, another habitant from the neighboring city, Leominster, never flagged in his allegiance to the tradi- tions and ideals of the Class of ’38. The Commercial department will send out in him a sturdy representative next June, and without any hesitation we predict a taking by storm of some commercial center by our hero, John. HAROLD JOSEPH CURTIS “Not too sertous, not too gay, a good fellow in every way.” “Curt,” one of the most popular boys of our class, is the center of all social activities and considered one of our best dancers and roller skaters. We know he will succeed in anything he will undertake. LEON FRANCIS DAGGETT “One smile is worth forty frowns.’ Leon, too, comes from Leominster'’s sunny valleys, but is at home just as well in Fitchburg where he and ‘‘Fit- zie’ are always together. He is one of the most carefree boys in school, and what dull day would not be en- livened by his ready wit and humor? [20]
