ae? Le STANLEY ANTHONY GOODE Stan has ever been a student of achievements. We have only to consult his record as captain and end of the Foot- ball Team to prove our statement; and when it comes to studies we are lost for words with which to describe his worth. Briefly — student, athlete, actor — What a record! DAVID ARTHUR GOULD Reserved in appearance and conduct David is ever sought as a true and amiable friend. Even a rainy day had no influence over his calm and even temperament. Thus we predict great things for David, possibly in the field of pub- lic accountancy. BRIG JOSEPH HACHEY Eric is always without a worry, and ready to greet you with a smile. His kindness has made him many friends. Studies come first in his litany and then the fun. He did not indulge in sports but was a consistent rooter. We all wish him a happy and bright future. PHILIP JAMES KEARNS Here is one of our stellar athletes, distinguished among his classmates by his classy clothes. Dispite his quiet manner, Phil is always ready for his share of fun. His one hope for the future is to secure an executive position in some chain store. So, good luck, Kearnsy. FRANCIS JOHN KITTREDGE Imagine a tall, stately senior with the roseate hue of youth upon his cheeks. Usually Francis’ rich, low voice was seldom heard except at the games, when he roared his best for Bernardian victories. We only hope that the vic- tories of life will come as often to his cheering as did the athletic conquests. JOHN FRANCIS KURTYKA Newman’s conception of a gentleman is completely em- bodied in John. We never knew him even on examination days to make the slightest slip in courtesy. With his high school training and this valuable asset in personality, we all are certain that John will go places.

LEO FRANCIS CONWAY Let us introduce Leo, our friend from Leominster. Be- neath his happy exterior he had a very studious nature and spent many an hour pouring over the Problems of Democracy. All in all he was a good pal, a generous friend, the kind we like to have about us. LEONARD ALBERT DAUPHINAIS “Lenny” is a likeable, energetic and spirited member of our West Fitchburg phalanx. He has great ambitions of joining Uncle Sam’s Navy, where with the training and character which he possesses, he is bound to go a great way up the ladder of success. Lots of good luck, ‘“Lenny,’’ and smooth sailing. ARTHUR LEON DESTROISMAISONS “Art” is a friend of the eagle, for in his dreams he is ever soaring upward in the realms of aviation. We know our flying ‘Art’ will succeed for during four years he has never been late or absent — an enviable record and a harbinger of future success. ROBERT FENTON DRISCOLL Bob is our tall, reticent classmate who modestly tried to conceal his great height even in class. In his tussle with the higher branches he always had an unfair advantage over the rest of us lesser mortals, and we magnanimously hope that the unfair advantage will stick to him through life. JOHN PAUL DuPONT We are informed that John is soon to scale the ladder of renown. We have no doubt, for many a time in class he demonstrated conclusively that his ambitions ran high. We wish him all the luck necessary to attain his end for if there is anyone deserving success, John is the one. DONALD FRANCIS FLATHERS Don, our Whalom representative, is one of the most amiable persons that it has ever been our privilege to meet. His nonchalant attitude, however, belies his real scholastic ability. Don plans to enter the University of Maine. Good luck in the tall timbers, Don.

EDWIN JOSEPH LANDGRAF Edwin comes to us each day from the fair and sunny city of Leominster. He is an enthusiastic sport fan and has won his way into our hearts by his jollity and sin- cerity. Good luck to you, Edwin. May the shadows of life always have a ray of sunlight for you in the future. BERNARD GEORGE LANTHIER . Bernard is another of the “most popular’ boys of our class. His witty conversation and pleasant humor form an index of his sincere character. He is a member of the Debating Team and Dramatic Club and has accomplished much in this field. Good luck, Bernard, and lots of it. FERNAND LEO LEGENDRE Fernand has proven his worth by a splendid record as a classical student. At times quiet, he was ever genial and good natured; so that we feel such a pleasant personality combined with an abundance of talent will go far on the road to fame. Certainly we wish him the best of luck. LOUIS JAMES LEGERE “Gus” came to Saint Bernard’s High from Leominster. He has acquired an admirable reputation on all fields of sport. He was star center for the football team and parti- cipated in many of the basketball games. He has also solved the great Problems of Democracy for which Mr. Sullivan praised him greatly. Keep on solving; it’s the key to success, “Gus.” HENRY ARTHUR LOMME “Hank” is the intramural star of the school, and about the most popular boy in the senior class. His naive, candid sincerity was well appreciated at lunch hour when he fur- nished much of the fun that prevailed. Our hats off to a real student, and loyal classmate! BERNARD JOHN MALONEY Bernard is one of the most respected members of the Class of '40. It is for the signal services which he so often performed that this self-effacing lad has won our heartiest appreciation. To us he has always appeared even under the searching spotlight of intimacy, a perfect gentleman.
