JAMES EDWARD MANNING Jim is a scholar and athlete par excellence. He has played on the basketball team for three years and this year was first team guard. Though small of stature, he has yet to be outdone by any of his larger opponents. We don’t know yet what field of endeavor he will plan after graduation, but we do know there will be good plowing. ROBERT FRANCIS McGREGOR Appollo and Diana must be good friends of Robert, for we understand that his prowess in hunting can only be ex- celled by his scholastic ability. We don’t know which he will profit by most, but we are confident that his assets in both will give a full game bag at the final reckoning. THOMAS FRANCIS McHUGH Tom promises to be an outstanding citizen of our thriv- ing metropolis. He keeps the spirits of the class high with his humorous sallies, but who of us would ever doubt that the merry twinkle of his eyes, and the careless freedom of his manner hide a seriousness of purpose which will stand Tom in good stead in life? F t i GEORGE DONALD MOORE Let us introduce our Mayor of Hampton Beach. Every year the closing cannot come soon enough for him, in order to fly to his favorite summer haunt at Hampton. Perhaps this year — the last one — there will be a linger- ing on the part of our jovial fun-loving Don. Let’s take long in saying good-bye to him. RICHARD WILLIAM MORIARTY Dick is versatile in a modest, inconspicuous way. He bears about in him the genial nature of the sunny south- side which enables him to get places in a carefree and leisurely good-natured manner. Without much study hand- some results were his, which we trust will accompany him in the forward journey. JAMES MICHAEL MORLEY “Speed” is very fond of sports, especially that of base- ball. When attending any game, he gets so greatly excited that he has to be told to cool off. This is the only accusa- tion we have against him for otherwise “Speed” is always a kind, benevolent, worthwhile gentleman of whom we're proud.

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.

FRANCIS WILLIAM MURPHY Francis is one of our selected High Honor students. He is a great lover of sports and may someday prove a worthy coach. If he wishes to make sports his life work every member of the class is behind such a stalwart character. We wish him luck, success, and God's benison. WALTER HENRY MURRAY A happy, carefree lad if there ever was one. ‘‘Squeaky’s” beaming expression often restored courage in the darkest hours. He was president of the most famous “Around the Corner’ Club. In his future undertakings we wish him every possible success. ANDREW JOHN O'DONNELL Andrew contributed much to our happy high school days by his beaming countenance. Without his smile and excel- lent spirits our school days would seem incomplete. In the future, we expect Andrew to go far, and bring fame to St. Bernard’s, by his smiling personality JOSEPH ALBERT PELLETIER Joe is the embodiment of quiet, efficient service. He never says much, but acts; and the silent atmosphere of confidence which pervades his every move made him a val- uable asset in the managerial staff of the Bernardian. With such desirable requisites for success, Joe enters the battle of life well forearmed. HERBERT LEO PHELPS Here we meet hale and hearty West Fitchburg. A more jovial and sprightly spirit never joined our ranks; and it will be a dark day, indeed, when we will forget Herbie and his practical jokes. However, he has never let us forget his steadiness of purpose, and we know that with this asset “Rocky” is a diminutive, affable member of the Class of '40. His one ambition is to manage the best basketball team in the State, and to run his own business; so in the future, “Rocky” just keep smiling and we know that you will fulfill each of these ambitions. ) he will mount high.
