JOHN FRANCIS GARVEY Retiring, studious John has been a most worthy asset to the Class of ’41. As an athlete he excelled in football and basketball, and was the embodiment of quiet, efficient service. Every member of the class is behind such a stal- wart character, and congenial companion. ROBERT CHARLES GAUDET Robert came to us this year. Right at home in our midst, he was soon a favorite because of his modulated, well- balanced capacity for seriousness and fun. Robert meets everyone with a cheerful smile, and has shown his inter- est in ali school activities. We are sorry that he couldn 't have been with us longer and we all wish him the best of luck. ARTHUR JOSEPH GINGRAS Art was known to his friends as “the shadow’ because he was so silent and unobtrusive, and a firm believer in the saying, “Better seen than heard.’ He was a star foot- ball player in his junior year and promised. to be the com- ing outstanding player, but hard luck forced him to quit. Let us hope that only good luck will be his in the future. FRANCIS MARTIN GRIER With a quiet self-confidence in his ability, “Eli” has pursued a varied and successful course during his years in high school. In his junior year he was the mainstay of the baseball team, and was, moreover, always a loyal supporter of all school activities. His ever ready courtesy, combined with his sterling character makes him the fulfill- ment of Newman’s conception of a gentleman. Smooth sailing, “Eli.” CHESTER HAROLD HUTCHINS Quiet and serious, Chester is conspicuous for his natural sincerity and avoidance of the limelight. He was always a great supporter of all school sports, and his voice ever rang out above all others. His kindness was unbounded, and we sincerely hope that such prudence and generosity will be highly rewarded soon. FRANCIS WILLIAM JEFFERSON Jeffy is the typical Abe Lincoln of our class. His pleas- ant, generous and simple character has made him one of the best friends possible. Jeffy’s unassuming modest be- haviour has not deceived us in his ability. He is the “Schatzmeister” of the German Club, and a distinguished chemistry student. Not cognizant of Jeffy’s future plans, we all hope that his ship will arrive soon in port. 21

EDWARD FRANCIS DONELAN, II Edward sometimes had one regret, namely — that he is tall. The reason is that he is seen when he doesn’t want to be, for example, in class. However, this doesn’t prevent Edward being always ready to give and take his share of the fun. His warm heartedness and generosity will cer- tainly be missed long after '41 has dispersed. JOHN CORNELIUS DRISCOLL “Pic” is one of our most humorous and best-liked stu- dents. He is a real student who has learned how to work, with an honor roll record not to be overlooked. In par- ticular he is a combination of sincerity, friendship, and cordiality that has made a lasting impression on his class- mates. Au revoir to a real friend, scholar, gentleman. ROSWELL THOMAS EDWARDS, JR. We liked Roswell because he was a hard working, con- scientious student, and a loyal, jovial, true friend. In studies he made a fine record, while in the debating field he distinguished himself for clear, logical thinking and forceful, restrained eloquence — at all times a gentleman of the highest type. So here’s success to an ideal student, and fine classmate. WILLIAM JAMES FALLON Bill has always kept the Sisters guessing whether his first name is William or James, but under whatever appel- lation he went he never lost his humorous sallies. Bill represents Lunenburg and that town can justly be proud of her son because of his fine record as baseball player, guard of the basketball team, as well as a conscientious student. GEORGE JOSEPH FARINEAU We've yet to see George without that assuring smile on his face, as he is continually overflowing with joy and laughter. George is extremely modest. Few of us knew of his great musical talent till recently, when we discovered he is saxaphonist in a local orchestra. Best of luck in all your undertakings, George, and especially in the musical field. EDWARD JAMES FINNERON Ed was the diminutive, affable member of the class of ‘41. He was an enthusiastic sports fan, and has won his way into our hearts by his sincerity. At times quiet, he was ever genial and good natured. Thus we feel sure that such a pleasant personality combined with a fine character will go far on the road to fame and success. 20

f oe RAYMOND JOHN LARIVIERE “Serene as a day in June” is the most apt comparison JOSEPH ROY JENNESS Roy is the personification of dignity and reserve. Dis- tingushed as an honor student, he has done much to bring honor to St. Bernard’s. His quiet but firm opinions simply stated often served as enlightment to his fellow students. The warmth enveloping his personality expands to those about him, thus making Roy a favorite graduate of 1941. RAYMOND FRANCIS KITTREDGE A true classmate, a loyal friend, Ray has earned his place in St. Bernard’s Hall of Fame. Quiet and collected, he has proved himself worthy of the name gentleman and scholar. His studious attitude and complete frankness will long live in our memories as fine traits of a real friend. May you have every happiness and success in the future, Ray. PAUL VINCENT LAMKIN Ever since Paul entered high school he has been in- creasing his stock of friends who admire him for his gen- iality, firmness, and laudable ambition. He is the class draftsman ‘“‘par excellence’? and a classmate whose ability we respect, and whose friendship we prize. we can find for Ray. His quiet, gentle manners enhanced by his keen dark eyes brought him often to the fore in spite of his determined endeavors to remain in the back- ground. His dislike of sham is an indication of character that together with his agreeable nature will put him in the future with the best. LIONEL AUGUSTIN LOZEAU An actor of paramount importance we have discovered in Lionel, for in his able portrayal of a difficult role in the .Passion Play took us by storm. Otherwise he has im- pressed us most by his ever courteous, gentlemanly be- havior. We all feel that St. Bernard’s will be long re- capturing the real successor to Lionel. ROBERT JOSEPH LYNCH Bob has proved his worth by a splendid record in the technical department. He is a fine basketball player, but never seemed to have time for the practice that is necessary for a boy on St. Bernard’s squad. To us he has always been the perfect gentleman and as we say “Bon voyage” we wish him every success. WEES) 1 OE 22
