HERBERT NORMAN ARCHAMBAULT Herbie is a real student who has learned how to work. His six feet of sincerity, friendship, helpful and patience all combined serve to make him a classmate who will long be remembered long after high school days are over. May you have everything in the line of success, Herb. PAUL HOWARD BALLENTINE Paul is most admired by his friends and intimates for his frank sincerity, keen sense of humor, loyalty to his friends and convictions. His quiet demeanor, quick smile and ready wit have all served to secure for this earnest senior a host of friends among the students. We all join in giving a salute and good luck wish to a fine friend and classmate. FREDERICK RAYMOND BEDARD Biographies are written by actions, not by words, and Frederick is one of those students who may be proud of the pages he wrote while at St. Bernard’s. His sunny dis- position, friendly manner, and unchangeable good nature will always be one of our pleasant memories of our days at St. Bernard’s. The best of. everything to you, Fred. RAOUL ANATOLE BEDARD Raoul is outstanding for his quiet, unassuming ways, and his kindly attitude toward men and life in general. Who will ever forget Raoul’s portrayal of “the tramp’ in our Christmas play; or, his frequent habit of always showing up at our out-of-town sport contesis regardless of the means taken to get there? The world will soon forget what we (the team) did there, but it can never forget how Raoul reached there. May such ingenuity make his life successful. ROBERT GERARD BELLIVEAU Bob, our little Napoleon from Leominster, has like the Little Corporal high ambitions. Those who know Bob best will always remember his quiet, unassuming manner, and his easy going disposition. But the scene changes when a situation calling for real effort arises — for, then we see Bob as he really is — a true friend, and a fine comrade. GERARD FRANCIS BERUBE A serious mien, a sense of responsibility and work well dcne have been the general characteristics of Gerard during his high school days. Wiih a quiet self confidence he has pur.ued a varied and successful course, and although good- natured and easy going, he has accomplished much in the field of serious endeavor. Kcep up the good work, Gerard. 17

HERBERT JOSEPH SCANLON Herb is our jovial, efficient Presid=nt, and along with it the most popular boy in our school. A cheery hello, a humorous sallie, and sincere advice (especially to Freshmen) are just a few of his many distinguishing characteristics. As an outstanding figure in extra curricula activities, he was manager of baseball, basketball, football, and track; a highscoring, flashy forward in intramural baske:ball, as well as a member of the dramatic and debating clubs. Herb’s ambition is to become a journalist and if the zeal and enthusiasm which we have encountercd in him, con- tinue, there is no doubt that he will succeed handsomely in the literary field. PATRICIA LILLIAN COUNIHAN Pat is noted for her sense of humor, her serene attitude, her gay smile, and her brains. Such qualities have made her an ideal vice-president and augur well for her planned career of nursing. Acquaintance with Pat has been one of the high-lights of our high school career, and it is with a keen sense of regret we bid her adieu. TERESA MARY CARPENTER “Carp” has been a perfect class secretary. Quiet, un- assuming, yet full of fun and a splendid student, she has done much to brighten our school days. It would be hard to find a friend more sincere than “Carp.” We don’t know her plans for the future, but we are sure that in whatever field she enters she is sure to find success. RICHARD ANTHONY LAVALLEY A rare combination of handsome scholar, athlete, and actor has characterized our class treasurer throughout his high school days. His courtesy, his thoughtful, jovial, kindly disposition as well as his exploits in sports have endeared him to all of us. Our cherished memory of Dick will be a quiet, cheery, studious, respectful gentleman, and we hope such traits will carry him far in life. 16

ROBERT WILLIAM BODO Bob is the kind of classmate we all want to know and remember. A representative of West Fitchburg, he ever reminded us of the excellencies of that revered section, not by his words but by his whole appearance and manner. Bob will succeed, because he has plenty of ability, initiative, and resourcefulness. JOHN JOSEPH CHARTRAND Behold black wavy hair, flashing eyes, a winning smile— “Chartie.”” In addition to being the best dancer at our school socials, ‘“Chartie” has also the honor of starring in last season’s basketball team. Nor does his enthusiasm stop here, for in every phase of school activity we have noted the same characteristic vigor. Keep it up, “Chartie,” for it unquestionably leads to fame. ROBERT JOSEPH CORMIER Bob is one of those diminutive, congenial! chaps who certainly deserves the title, amicus. His unusual amount of personality has been a worthy asset for him in securing a host of friends. He has often spent his time in making his classmates laugh, and believes that one should worry about nothing. Our years with Bob will be a precious memory in the future. RAYMOND ARTHUR COULOMBRE Coulie has be:n our synonym of bodily vigor and un- definable mirth. He traveled the tortuous road of learn- ing with a goodly supply of grey matter to a creditable academic record. He, nevertheless, produced a more-than- abundant supply of fun along the way, and we hope that the supply will last all through life. Best of luck, Coulie. JOHN FRANCIS CROTTY Here is a senior who has been noted as generous, a good mixer, helpful to everyone and the possessor of a keen sense of humor. In studies he is consistent, rather than strikingly outstanding. So if you are looking for some- thing worthwhile in English Composition, you have only to seek out John to obtain it. He is modulated in fun, yet no livelier or enthusiastic sports fan has been in our midst. Keep up your sports, John, we are all with you. KENNETH PAUL DAUPHINAIS Although seemingly quiet, Kenny keeps up laughing and cheery most of the time with his dry wit, especially in physiology class. A regular fellow, Kenny manages to keep his mischievousness and seriousness well-balanced. Best of luck in the long time ahead, Kenny, and keep your sense of humor. 18
