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

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

IRENE RITA DELONGCHAMP Irene has always been the rainbow behind the clouds. She has never been too occupied to befriend everyone, especially in necessity. Her sweet voice and appealing personality entertained us not only in the Operetta and the Christmas Play, but daily during the monotonous routine of school life. May you always act as well on life’s great stage, Irene. JEANNETTE THERESE DENOMME Jeannette’s ready smile and willingness to cooperate have made her a sincere friend to all who know her. Because of her amiability and application to studies, we know that the business world will greatly profit by Jeannette’s en- trance into it, and we all join in wishing her every suc- cess and happiness. MARY RUTH DESGROSEILLER Ruth’s ready smile and cheerful disposition has made her the friend of all her classmates. Never very noisy, but always ready for fun, she has brought a lot of sunshine and happiness to our classes. Her dreams for the future center on Forsyth Dental Infirmary, and we expect great things from her in that field. JOANNE MARTINA DESMOND Joanne, one of our live-wires, was always a prized asset of the Class of ’41. Sweet and lovely, she was everyone s friend. Merrily her bubbling laughter greeted us at some dull corner of life, and we could not but reflect her shin- ing happiness. An ambitious commercial student she prom- ises great things for the future, and it is our only hope to be listed then, as now, in the group of her chosen friends. DELIA MARY DEZINGAS Delia is another of our quiet girls, seldom heard except in shorthand, where she can read her transcriptions quickly and accurately. Her reserve and serious application to studies have been apparent throughout her school years. We know that the future holds many fine things for you, Delia, may they all be realized. CATHERINE HELEN DINNEEN Kitty is a veritable rippling brook, but she becomes quiet and attentive at the right time. She is a faithful friend, has an amiable disposition and is one of the most pleasant companions we know. We cannot decide what her future plans are, but may every good fortune be yours, Kitty.
