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.

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.

ROSEMARY ANNE DRUMMOND A peal of laughter and ‘a sudden rush from the stair- way.’ We became familiar early with these delightful por- tents, and grew to love them as we became more familiar with their source. But despite these jovial sallies Rosemary was always serious about lessons with the result of honor ratings. So — here’s to you, Rosemary from the Class of '40. CATHERINE ANN ENWRIGHT “Honey” showers upon us much of the genial warmth of the glorious southside sun. She is a connoisseur in sports and possesses a strength of character that foretells future leadership. Then, as now, we will be proud to proclaim “Honey” as our loyal and trusted school friend. LUCILLE ANNA FASANO Gified with a keen sense of humor, “Lu” has done much to brighten the hours of her classmates. Although a student in every sense of the word, she could always be relied on as a participant when a good time was at hand. We all wish you every success in the future, Lucille. MARY AGNES FLAHERTY “Flats” is our jovial, high-spirited classmate who has been rated as one of our best dressers. Her genial manner endeared her to all and the Class of ‘40 unites in extend- ing to her every best wish for the future. CECILE NOELIE FOREST We salute heartily our most outstanding scholar. For Cecile is more than a student. At the end of her high school course, we may proudly class her as a savant be- cause she has earnestly and faithfully attended to what most of us neglected — the acquirement of learning. When we will be struggling for success, Cecile will be sailing the sea of achievement, a welcome guest at any port of intellectual pursuit. We wish you the very best, Cecile. MARGARET LOUISE GEARY It is difficult for us to name the many likeable qualities that Peggy possesses. Her happy countenance, lighted up by a dashing smile, is enhanced by her dignity and general attractiveness. In fine, we are certain that in her future profession Peggy’s presence will be a thing of distinction and worth.
