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

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

ROBERT FRANCIS MARBLE Small, dark, and handsome, Robert has been one of our most outstanding representatives from Cleghorn. In the early days he carried off many honors, and even up to the last held the front ranks in scholastic endeavors. Our surest prophecy is that Robert, being a man of few words, will achieve wonders, for men of that type usually do. OVILA ADOLPH MARCHAND Ovila came only in senior year, and our biggest regret is that he was not with us before. Endowed with a bland, winning dispostion, he found himself surrounded with a host of friends from the beginning. There is really nothing more that we can say to add to his worth, only repeating that to all he was a real friend and a “square-shooter.” GERALD JOSEPH MAZZOLA Jerry, smiling and gay, must have brought all the exub- erance of Leominster with him, as he breezed into our midst each day. His pranks and banter together with his even temper made him a grand pal on whom we often showered gifts such as the choice Persian feline, which he found in his desk on a bright spring day. Adios, with every best wish for the future, Jerry. BERNARD PETER McGUIRK Bunny’s friendly ways and cheerful grin have served as a Monday morning gloom chaser. Always with Walt, the two may be plotting a little mischief, or “digging up” some extra lunch. Troubles never bother Bun, and we know his happy disposition will aid his future as a busi- ness man and make him a grand success. JAMES AUSTIN McHUGH We have in Jim a fine stalwart, strapping chap, and a smiling, happy youth. This is how he came to us in 1937, and after four years of arduous work he is leaving still smiling and happy. We do not know his plans, but we are certain that if he continues along the same path, success will be his. ANDRE EDMUND MERCIER Andy is filled with irrepressible mirth. His hearty laugh- ter has continually cheered us up. Andy is a member of the track team and the school’s most accomplished drummer. As he is taking a course in automobile mechanics, it pos- sibly is the field upon which he will shower his talents. We certainly will be proud of your future accomplish- ments, Andy. 23
