PHILIP WILLIAM WOODCOME Alphabetically Philip's name is at the end, but not so long in the hearts of his classmates. Genial, jovial, and courteous to a “T”’ he was the ever trusty manager on whom Coach Tarpey could rely. Consequently, Philip is one for whom we don’t have to predict worldly success. ANITA CLAIRE FOREST Here is simplicity itself in a very small package. Never- theless, Anita is very active. She was in the play, “White Christmas,” in her freshmen year, has been on the honor roll many times, and has acquired many honors in sten- ography and bookkeeping. Best wishes to an expert, little accountant. MARY THERESE WELCH Mary’s height is no indication of her intellectual stature. Unassuming though capable, and possessed with a keen mind, she has a most charming manner. Her name often graced the High Honor Roll, so we are sure that the future holds much success for our friend and classmate, Mary. MARY ROSE ADDANTE Although Mary is small in stature she has always come out on top in her studies by making the High Honor Roll. She has continually shown her worth in Math and English. Mary's quiet, gentle manner has made her a delightful companion to the Class of ’40. We all wish her success in whatever field she may choose. MARIE RITA ANTHONY Marie, our golden-haired maiden with laughing eyes, is the epitome of vivacity and fun. In our athletic activities she served both as an enthusiastic spectator and skillful participant. We hope that her glowing enthusiasm will not cool in the stern region of business, but will serve as a stimulant to revive prosperity. CECILE IRENE AUBUCHON Cecile has woven her way into our hearts from the very beginning. “Still waters run deep” may be aptly applied to her; for although she enjoys fun and little ripples of laughter, yet she delves into her studies with an ardor and seriousness that amazes the majority. With reluctance we let her return to her beloved Leominster.

BERNARD PATRICK SHIELDS Every day Bernard continually offered new reasons for liking and respecting him. It was surprising to note the unworried ease with which he adapted himself to one new activity after another. Ability such as this is worth- while, and will surely win its own way. Years of con- tinued success to you, Bernard. THOMAS WELCH SMITH Here is our hunter—par excellence. No need of trying to argue, for this year’s 1300 pound trophy silences all opposition, and establishes Thomas as a revered sportsman. Our best wishes, Tom, and we trust that you be success- ful, too, in seeking and finding the worthwhile in life. RAYMOND CHARLES STARKEY This happy son of Fitchburg has had as his underlying motive success in all his school work. His tenacity of pur- pose has been much admired, and we are convinced that he will remain adamant to the last, sincerely fighting for what he believes to be right, and true, and good. JOHN FRANCIS SULLIVAN Sully is one of the most popular boys of the school, and incidentally the ideal rooter at all the athletic con- tests. His popularity is unrivalled, for all, from the most minute freshman to the most reserved senior, know Sully. Such aptitude of winning friends will spell tremendous success in the business world. WILFRED JOSEPH THIBODEAU Here is one of our best-liked students from Leominster. A reserved yet up-to-date friendliness won him to our side once for all. With his quiet, low voice, wavy hair, and patrician manners we found a choice companion and glor- ied in our finding. May it be our good pleasure to retain such worthwhile friendship. THOMAS JOSEPH TIERNAN During the four years in high school there was no more genial a companion than Tom. When you met him at any time of the day his words of sincere greeting and gestures of friendship buoyed you up. Our gratitude for his kind- ness is boundless, and will follow him long after he has left the precincts of St. Bernard’s.

MARY LOUISE BALLEW Mary came to us in the Junior Year and immediately became a real member of our class. She has very often made the Honor Roll and was chosen Secretary of both Latin and German Clubs. Mary meets everyone with a cheerful smile and has shown her interest in all school activities. We trust that her cheerfulness will win her many friends in the future. ELINOR DORIS BIRD El, our blue-eyed blond classmate, has a nobility, grace, and diginity all her own, and holds a special place in our hearts. As editor of the Year Book she has done outstand- ing work, while her participation in the orchestra gives every indication of splendid musical talent. When we con- sider her scholastic record — high honor throughout — we know that success awaits her with open arms. KATHLEEN JANE BOYD Kay — “the class canary’ — can hold the attention of the most talkative when she begins to trill. Her ambition is to become an opera singer and we are confident that her sincere and earnest efforts will reward her. She pos- sesses a delightful personality and is well known as an outstanding cheerleader. Good luck, Kay, may your life be one sweet song. MARY ROSE CARBONE Another Jascha Heifitz! Yes, this is Mary Rose, our talented musician. She has been our noted violinist for four years in the school orchestra. A real student, she has often won honor ranking. Mary Rose has been a pleasant class- mate, and in her college life we wish her success and happiness. PHYLLIS MARY CARBONE With her soft, low voice Phyllis has, indeed, endeared herself to us all. Always dignified and poised, she has never appeared even slightly discomposed. A student who always knows her matter, she has, nevertheless, devoted much time to music, and has often entertained with her beautiful piano performances in the orchestra. In her future career we wish her every success. CONSTANCE ANN CASAVOY Connie is vivacious, gay and debonair. She has done well in her studies, has lent her support to all sports, and has been prominent among social affairs. As we bid her adieu we understand that she is to-continue her studies. Best of luck, Connie, from the Class of ’40.
