ANNA LOUISE CATALINI With a gleam in her eyes and a smile on her lips Anna has proven to us her sterling worth. We all appreciate her ability as a writer, and acknowledge her to be perfectly stable and well-balanced whether performing in the class- room or on the stage. Much success, Anna, on life’s great stage. ELENA GIOVANNA CATTEL This wisp of a maid with her dark comely locks often held us spell-bound, when with precision and self confidence she had the floor at recitation. Her elfin, enthusiastic cheers often roused a flagging team to victory, and we expect she will chalk up many such conquests in the world at large. BARBARA RITA CHAINEY Barb is our happy and vivacious classmate who is de- lighted with all that life is offering her. She excels in many sports, but is especially interested in “driving a car.” As Barb devotes much time to commercial work we feel con- fident that some day she will be a great success in the business world. Here’s the best of luck and happiness to you, Barb, for the future. ANN RITA COFFEY Ann's gentle, quiet manner will remain fixed in our minds long after graduation, when we will be immersed in the noisy whirl of the busy world. Then we know her gracious smile will soothe the pain and aches of many as she will go about garbed in the white uniform of Florence Night- ingale. MARY ESTHER CONNORS Mary is our pride and joy from West Fitchburg. Rarely was she absent from our midst. Quietly and courteously she moved from class to class, seldom heard until her ex- cellent recitations made us sit up and take notice. Such application to duty, and charming personality will carry Mary far in the field of her chosen profession. HELEN MARY CRAWFORD This golden-haired lass from West Fitchburg has ever stood out a dependable and conscientious student. Good judgment and high idealism have constantly been her watch- word, so that in the future, with her poise and charm, we expect to find in her the perfect Catholic woman.

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.

RITA MARY CROTEAU Rita is one of the liveliest graduates as well as an able enthusiast in all our sports. Her pet hobby is roller-skating in which she takes the keenest delight. Yet, she does her. part as a senior too, by helping to uphold the honor roll and that is a real assurance that she will be successful in the world. DOROTHY MARIE DAIGLE In Dorothy we often found the source of a merry laugh, while her artistic talent in cartooning bears evidence in the Bernardian. As her essays were often the catch of the weck we were surprised to learn that Dot plans to be a dietitian. Best of luck, Dot. MARGARET TERESA DARCY Margaret’s calm, gracious serenity was often the envy of many, and yet, a more genial or gay companion could not be found. She has pursued with a laudable record the Commercial course, and we have no fear in saying that we know success awaits her in the business world. IRENE AGNES DESGROSEILLIERS Lighthearted and gay Irene is as congenial a companion as anyone could desire. Her sparkling eyes and cheerful smile never seemed to dim even at midyears or finals. Although we do not know her intentions for the future, we are sure she will be a success and trust that she will not forget her classmates of the Class of ’40. ANNE SARAH DONELAN Anne, of the lovely Irish smile, will always remain in our hearts and minds as a loyal friendly classmate and true friend. Her high honor ranking has been such a regu- lar feature that we do not hesitate to present her as an able secretary even before experience has strengthened her ready ability. Best wishes, Anne. MARY ELLEN DOOLING The fact that Mary came to us only in the Junior Year did not hold her aloof from our friendly circles. Right at home in our midst, she was soon a favorite because of her modulated, well-balanced capacity for seriousness and fun. When she became acclimated she was one of the best supporters of all school activities. Sorry your stay with us was so short, Mary.
