MARGARET THERESA CONROY Titian blond and = gentle maid are apt descriptions of Peggy. We have but lately dis- covered the wealth of beauty hidden in clear rich voice, and in our enthusiasm we do not hesitate to predict a coming “Lily Pons.” ANITA MARY CORMIER Anita is a small little miss with an attractive and winning smile. She is a lover of poetry € and operas in the latter group of which she is well versed. Her future as a stenographer looks bright because of her even temperament. : 6 ¢ eC CLARISSE LENA COUTURE Clarisse, a striking brunette, is always cheerfully disposed, and has personality as her forte. Her charming nature, always forceful, volatile is the magnet for her myriad of friends who now wish her every success. JEANNETTE RITA DAVID “Ready, willing and able’ seems to be a phrase put into practice by Jeannette. In all sport activities she was always on hand, and showed what ex- cellence she had acquired in that field. Incidentally we learned of her talent as an artist, and with firm assurance we hail her as a coming ‘‘Rosa Bonheur.”’ Mane, Ei evi ee GILDA EUCY DEL BEATS® Rollicking, diversion and jolly times are what we link with remembrances of Gilda. Her glowing optimism per- meated all classes, and never interfered with her fine work especially in English where she excelled in essay writing. All hail to our budding journalist! CLAIRE JOAN DEMERS y) Claire has been outstanding as a student, a classmate, and an actress. The way she sus- tained her difficult role in the Christmas Play was amazing, and it won't surprise us in the least if she is soon starring in one of the modern productions of worth. It seems that no class is com- plete without a demure and petite brunette and in this case Mary fills the bill. Her manner is most friendly and her ap- pearance particularly neat. We are sure that the class of ’39 unanimously wishes her gvery luck, in the) furuse, ; Mie rats Vy MARY ANNA Dra EGORIO ‘This is one of our favorite seniors. Mary is a bit reticent at times but her cordial, gra- cious manner never fails you when occasion demands. As a typist and stenographer of the first class she has firmly placed her feet on the upward verse to- ward distinction in the commer- cial world. th MARY ANN 1 fe DI BENEDETTO

R Ys yh 2 ar Tyee yy ‘% aiske roy bys MARGARET MARY BEAUVAIS Truly gracious and ever a lady, Margaret has, indeed, been the essence of dignity and poise. A good scholar, she has con- stantly graced our Honor Roll. Whatever course she may choose to pursue in the future, we the class of '39 know she will meet success because of the splendid spirit she has manifested in the Lane A JOAN) LORRAINE past. — g z YF ad ELLIVEAU Srna is a very quiet, demure , ‘ young lady, that is, until the fun begins—then she is in the midst of it lending a loyal sup- port to all that is merry. The future will be bright for her, we know, for coupled with her gaiety is her true school spirit in both extra-curricula and scholastic activities. DOROTHY FRANCES BOISEAU Quiet and reserved, Dorothy i has a gay laughter and keen it. A staunch supvorter of all school activities, she has, never- theless, worked faithfully at her studies. And as she met success in her’ scholastic endeavors through the honor roll, we are certain that such ambition can only be rewarded by a bright and successful future. THERESA FRANCES BRUNEAU Theresa’s quiet unassuming manner was a cloak which con- cealed an abundance of talent. At rare intervals she flung the cloak aside to let us enjoy her dry, subtle wit. Her persistent industry brought her splendid results, and we trust will con- tinue to do so in the future. : acs YS MARGUERITE CARTER Gladys has come to us from Leominster and has brought with her a spirit that has made us grateful to that city. Her gay laughter, her eagerness in all school activities, her loyal enthusiasm for all sports, as well as her scholastic ability prove to us that Gladys will have a brilliant future. MARGARET LOUISE CHARTRAND This brown-haired represen- tative of our class has often im pressed us with her sincere and earnest efforts in the class-room. She has evinced from the be- ginning the deepest interest in all things educational. If a smiling nature goes any length, then Margaret will go a long way after graduation. MILDRED ARLENE CLUNAN Nature never fashioned a milder, gentler, maid, and yet Mildred never lost out in any of the fun. As a true follower of all sports, a ready and will- ing participant of school activi- ties, and as an honor roll student she has truly exemplified school spirit. This same spirit we hope will abide with her into a suc- cessful future. Ret eed ) MARY ANNA CONNELL The author of ‘“‘Smiles’” must have had Mary in mind for her identification consists of two laughing, clear, blue eyes. If the color means anything then the true deep blue has fashion ed for us a life-long friend and Classmate or '39. oe

Fe esos FRANCES DONLON |! Laughter, Kay believes is the v perfect antidote for any diffi- culty. The efficacy of such a code is well illustrated in her enviable equilibrium. She is the proud possessor of a winning smile and two dimples. Good luck, Kay, St. Bernard will miss your mischief and fun. gif MARGARET MANNIX DOOLING a k Peggy is vivacious, blithe, ge and debonair.

Known throughout the school for her frankness and affability she will have no difficulties in experiencing the reward such merit deserves. ) HELEN ELIZABETH DRINK WINE To the casual acquaintance Helen is quiet, reserved and per- haps distant. For her classmates and friends, however, what a wealth of spirits she reserves. Loyalty is her greatest asset and with such we send her forth a worthy representative of the cla RITA DOROTHEA DRISCOLL Rita ranks on the top in scholarship, proving that effort does bring the desired results. Besides this she has an abun- ce of good humor topped off by a sunny smile. She hopes to be a nurse and we know her patients will never suffer from lack of care or the blues. MARY GERALDINE ENRIGHT “‘Gerry’’ is everyone’s darling. She has beautiful wavy hair which is the admiration and envy of all the girls. She sends forth flashes of her keen sense of humor, and life is never dull when she is around. It is with sincere regret that we bid her adieu. 9., GLORIA MAY FARQUHAR Gloria’s high scholastic stand- ing will surely give her a seat among the learned. She has been a faithful member of the orches- z tra for four years, and her vic- @, ; tories in the commercial course . are but shadows of the triumphs to come. Ae CLAIRE MARY FINNERAN | Though she is just a little YD : : girl, Claire is far from being : disregarded or over-looked. Fun has formed a great part of her ’ life and helps to endear her to the members of the class. We all hope her future will be a 2 bright and happy one. cy LORETTA MADELAINE y FORTIN We may yet see the day when Loretta will be the featured — pianist of a very famous all- gitl orchestra. Her music, how- ever, is but the echo of her sound, practical attainments in the commercial department. Which she will continue to per- fect we do not know so we leave you, Loretta, with the most sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous future,
