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]

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]

GEORGES OCTAVE DESLOGES “To ease another's heartache ts to for- get one’s own.” We never went to George in our difficulties when he was not ready to help in his own generous way. We must make our bow of thanks and appreciation, while at the same time, it grieves us to bid adieu to this worth - while, likeable classmate of ours. RAYMOND FRANCIS DION “Happy, pleasant and contented.” Let us class Ray as one of our ‘‘out- of-town’’ pupils, for he also hails from Leominster. Ray may be con- stantly seen in the company of ‘‘Nick’’ and ‘‘Wally.’’ We haven't been able to peep into the secret precincts of his future plans, but we are sure that his happy and cheerful disposition will bring him through. May luck be yours, Ray. THOMAS FRANCIS DARCY “A prince... blue-eyed and fair in face.” “Darc’’ is always happy and never worries about anything. In the realm of knowledge they say he is quite a proficient lion, but we haven't space for that now, so we will take leave of the fair complexioned lad whose wit and lively imagination carried us far on many a blue Monday. JANE MARY COLLINS “Happy am I, from care I am free, Why aren't they all contented like me.” Jane is a very quiet and studious girl with great thoughtful eyes. Her plans for the future are not as yet complete. We wish her the best of luck and happiness in whatever path of life she follows. GERTRUDE EDNA COULOMBRE “None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise.” Gertrude has ever dwelt among us as one intent upon a quest. She re- veals it clearly in her splendid scholas- tic record. Do you ever remember her failure to respond when called upon in class? She furnished much enter- tainment for the French Club, and has a splendid accent in French. LEILA GERTRUDE DAUPHINAIS “Friendship ts a sheltering tree.”’ Leila leaves us bearing the reputa- tion of being one of the finest musi- cians at St. Bernard's. During the past four years, she has taken promi- nent part in many social activities, winning new friends by her kind, friendly manner. Her affability and courteousness has often stood her in good stead, and will continue to do so in the business world where she is soon to enter. [21]
