FRANCES MARY BEBICK Tall, slender Frances is indeed a stimulant to her friends. She always has a good word for everyone, and shows alertness of mind in any emergency. She is particularly fond of outdoor sports, and is also an earnest pursuer of the commercial course. As yet she has not decided upon her future. Best wishes from the class, Frances, and may God bless you always. IRENE LAURA BEDARD Quick — best describes Irene. Her manner of speak- ing often gives us the urge to inquire, “Where is the fire?’’ Nevertheless, she has paused long enough to carve her initials on the tree of friendship and become one of us. We trust that Irene will find success keeping pace with her good nature through life. HELEN LUCILLE BENSUK Helen, a very petite member of our class, has always been ready with a friendly hand to help her fellow class- mates. Her serene smile always was an assurance that things were running smoothly. As a commercial student, her zeal will certainly crown her with that success in the business world which is duly hers, and we wish her the best of luck. MADELEINE GERTRUDE BERUBE Madeleine is always happy and never worries about any- thing. Her naturally amiable and congenial nature has made her a general favoriie in all commercial classes. We always see Madeleine in company with Eva and Flossie, in animated discussion about lessons — no doubt. Here's luck to you, Madeleine. YVETTE THERESA BLAIS Quiet, demure Yvette with her winsome smile has often waved her wand of charm on those about her. Standing highest in shorthand awards and always an honor student, Yvette aims to keep climbing and to reach the top. We wish you all the success you so richly deserve, Yvette. JOAN CLAIRE BURNS The girl with the Irish eyes and a million dollar smile. Such is our friendly, likable Joan. We often wondered if her slow, deliberate speech evinced a southern ancestry? Again, she exhibits southern hospitality in her willingness to play the gracious hostess. We wish her boundless luck in her future life. 28

EVERETT JAMES TOUCHETTE Everett possesses many sturdy and fine qualities that go to make the ideal man. In studies he has piled up an enviable record, while in the orchestra he has exhibited rare talent as a musician. Again in dramatics he has often entertained us by the able portrayal of difficult roles so that with every confidence we say “au revoir’ to this worthy, dependable classmate. EDWARD GEDEON VACHON Dressed to perfection and with a serious mien, Eddie busily pursued his way at school. Tall, quiet in manner, and earnest in studies he has acquired an enviable record which he will put to the best advantage in the business world after graduation. We now bid him adieu with every wish that the success which attended his efforts in high school will continue with him all through the years. ROSARIA MARY ADDANTE Rosaria has been one of our outstanding high honor students and her good nature and general friendliness have made her a favorite with all. She intends to continue her studies and we hope that her future will be as successful as her past, and that she will always remember her many friends in the Class of °41. HELEN ELIZABETH BALLEW Betty is one of our shining lights in studies, dramatics, and debating. She possesses a charm all her own, and her airy cheerfulness never flags even on the dullest days. She has been conspicuous always for her gracious courtesy dis- played at all times whether in treating with a member of the faculty or with the youngest freshman. We don’t hesi- tate to predict a prosperous future for such capability, grace, and charm. LUCILLE ESTHER BEAUCHEMIN Lu has won her way right into our hearts through her demure, friendly manner. Although we were sometimes deceived by her reserve we soon found beneath that calm exterior, a fun-loving, friendly, yet studious miss. She has often graced our honor rolls, and has exhibited much talent in the French Club. No matter what field she may choose for her future work, we know Lu will be a brilliant success. 27

CARMELA JOAN CAPOCCIAMA Always anxious to help and ever ready to be a chum, Molly’s shy, pleasant manner has won for her many true friends. Hairdressing is the goal sought by our Molly and we'll all be happy to clear the way for her. Good luck, Carmela, from the Class of ’41. RITA EVA CHABOT Rita is developing into a powerful rival of Carmelita Landry. Although she would far rather be whizzing away on her magic skates, or enjoying her other hobby of sketch- ing, she has not failed to hit a high score on our scho- lastic records. Her cheery laughter and gay disposition are sure guarantees of success and happiness in whatever field she may choose. MARJORIE ANNE COCHLIN Be it a corridor, classroom, or out of doors, Margie’s welcome laughter greets all. ‘Joy’ is Marjorie’s middle name. With not a care in the world, she lives each day as it comes. But — don't let that fool you, Marjorie hopes to be a stenographer so — good luck to you, Margie, and keep laughing. DOROTHY ANN CONNORS Sweet, blue-eyed, dimpled Dot is a delightful combina- tion of poise plus charm. The never failing presence of her name on the honor roll eloquently speaks for her scholastic accomplishments. With her enthusiasm and fidel- ity to class work, we predict great things for Dot, and now cordially wish her all the success and happiness in the world. GLORIA ROSE DeCICCO Well bred, gentle mannered, and a lady in every respect, Gloria has lent dignity and charm to our school days. Loyalty to her friends and school brought her to all extra curricula events. A lover of nature and all that is beauti- ful, Gloria has opened our eyes to many of the wonders surrounding us. We know these sterling qualities, and her calm assurance will guide her in years to come to honor and distinction. RITA MARY DELISLE Rita’s sober exterior belies the warm heart of gold be- neath. A zealous student and a sincere friend to all who have been so fortunate as to share her friendship, she is a fine example of a true Catholic girl. We know that the future will smile on a skilful, conscientious stenographer. Liste Mae! hy ea 29
