RICHARD JOSEPH ALLAIRE eixichy is our Plato and Aristotle combined. He believes in making hay while the sun shines. As he has not decided upon his future we cannot make any predictions, but we can, and do shower on him oyr very pest wishes. Blond and bland—that’s our “Brud.’’ Blond in regard to his ever-groomed hair, and bland in his humor, personality, and speech. We have had many oc- casions to view his worth; and we know that he will face the future fearlessly, with a deter- mination to win. ROBERT JOSEPH BABINEAU Bob has been a star high- honor student throughout the course. He has a large amount of natural nutriment, particu- larly iron from which great things are fashioned. After he tempers the iron into steel at college we look for great result from Bob oA ww “Rota RAYMOND JOSEPH BERGERON That smile of Ray’s! How it enlivened our days, especially our blue Mondays! Quiet and retiring, nevertheless his matured and well-balanced poise made him a general favorite. As a student he stood out for his characteristic sincerity—a trait we feel will remain with him through life. oe “fp Lay 7 CL “ss gq A ue 6 WILFRED ALBERT BERGERON Bill came to us four short years ago from Leominster. He majors in Mechanical Drawing, being second to none. With great expectations for the future, and a determination to realize them Bill now leaves us, and we need not hesitate to predict a worthwhile career. 2 7 3 — — rae J a) Se Lif ef ROBERT JOSEPH BOURQUE Bob is one of the most popu- lar boys of the Senior Class. He is a versatile debater and has never let a chance slip of exhib- iting his excellences in that field. As a youth of vigorous, pronounced opinions he gives evidence of future greatness, and affectionately we maintain no one deserves greater success than he. JAMES HENRY BURNS In “‘Red’’ we present to the reader a loyal, earnest rooter of St. Bernard’s. He is noted for never becoming ruffled even dur- ing the trying season of mid- year's and final exams. We are looking forward for great con- quests for ‘‘Red”’ in a turbulent, “bed of finance. ,y 4 Sth x Vie 7. E DONA DWARD CATALINI A youth, with a winning personality! Donat fills that role to perfection. He is of the quiet type who busies himself with his work, particularly in his capacity as Treasurer of the Italian Club. With this and his other high school activities there is every indication that he will shine in the world of finance. Mt AR,

Class Officers EDMUND FRANCIS O'CONNOR Bud, the President of our class, has more than measured up to the high requirements of this position both as a student and a star athlete. He displayed remarkable abil- ity both as an end on the football team and as a member of the New England Catholic Basketball Tournament. As trumpeter in the school orchestra throughout his four years he has enhanced the success of our weekly assemblies. May you long continue, Bud, in the line of success. MARTHA WINIFRED MILLS Martha, our diminutive, alive Vice-President, has fig- ured in practically all our activities. She was one of the most loyal of friends, and most studious of students, with a flair for friendship that has given her a great retinue of followers. With a knack of knowing how to do every- thing and with ambition to do it, no work in life should prove too rocky for Martha. MARION JULIA McTIGHE Marion’s sincerity and frankness, her sympathy and help as secretary have won her the deference and affection of students and teachers alike. She gave her loyal support to our athletic teams and was very active in all the social affairs. Marion plans to enter Teachers College and we know she will be very successful because she has one of the highest scholastic ratings in our class. cc ROBERT FRANCIS O'NEIL Bob is a rare combination of sincerity, frolic and fun. As Class Treasurer he has been most attentive to duty, while in Basketball he has been quite outstanding. His reassuring smile gains him an entrance to all groups, and in the years to come we feel that it will enable Bob to conquer any difficulties in his path. With regret we take leave of him and wish him only the best. [16]

FRANCIS JAMES. CONNORS “‘Red’’ never seemed too busy to stop and talk. This desir- able trait has won him a goodly following. ‘‘Easy does it’’ seems to be ‘‘Red’s’’ motto but never- theless he is a plugger and hard- worker. Many of us envy his distinguished crown of gold which we hope will bring him the palm of victory in life’s ¢ contests. JOHN EDWARD COUNIHAN John is one of our Leomin- ster representatives who is a fine all-round athlete, being a mem- ber of the varsity football and baseball teams. Added to this John has a very cheery disposi- tion through which he has made many friends. ‘Best of Luck, John.” ARMAND JOSEPH CROTEAU Armand is the quiet serious type, but he takes a vital in- terest in the school activities, especially the socials where he amazes us by his dancing abil- ity. His hobbies are dancing and amateur photography. Un- questionably, his sincerity and honesty will enable him to make his mark in the world. OHN ROBERT CROWLEY Bob is somewhat. on the quiet side; unassuming, likeable and possessed of a keen sense of humor. He is well remembered for his ability on the gridiron and they say he was a whiz at basketball. He finds intense pleasure in winning arguments and we hope that he will prove a winner in the future. ie RALPH GEORGE DEBARGE ““Rallie’’ has been an out- standing, high honor student throughout high school. As business manager of the Year Book he did splendid work; and it is our regret and loss that he did not continue his pursuit of athletics. We enjoyed his likeable, friendly, even-tempered comradeship, and reluctantly now. say adieu. FRANK PAUL DIBENEDETTO There are few among us who possess Frank’s knack of ar- ranging his affairs so that the even tenor of his happy exis- tence remains so undisturbed. Shortly after joining our ranks he won our hearts by his ““frank’’ sincere nature. His years with us have been pleasant JOSEPH ROBERT : DONAHUE Joe excels chiefly in the fine art of dancing. He and his pal, ‘Red’, are a pair of “swing- sters’’ of note and have generally been expected to touch off the fireworks at our school socials. We know that Joe's good hu- mor and pleasing smile com- bined with his carefree disposi- tion will carry him far on the road to success. because he was a real friend. p JAMES BERNARD DOWER Here is the future bus driver. We can sweep peacefully on with Jimmie at the wheel, for there is not a more dependable lad in our class. All along we have found him easy to get along with, willing and eager to co-operate so that we are very proud to have been associ- ated with Jim.
