ARTHUR JOSEPH SOLOMITO Sol is, no doubt, an ardent admirer of our great Shakes- peare, for many a blair of his resembled greatly the pro- ducts of the great dramatist. As a sportsman he had no peer on the gridiron nor the court; so that now, as we go our different ways we find it hard to say ‘fare thee well.” FRANK ANTHONY TATA Frank was at all times a quiet, dignified gentleman who lent prestige to the senior class by living up to all the requirements of that weighty position. As the name of his home section, Granite Hill, signifies, he exhibited strength and firmness of character on all needed occasions, and we are not wrong in predicting great things for the future of Frank. ROBERT MICHAEL VAILLANCOURT Cowboy is our exponent of happy, carefree school life. A bit shy, on the whole, yet his golden hair and jovial smile greeted us at all times with unimpaired spirits. As a center on the football team his bullet passes egged on many a touchdown. Our parting with him is all too soon, but we give an assured promise that he will never be forgotten. JAMES LOUIS VALERA “Jimmie,” our sturdy little chum from Water Street, was so much in love with studies that he scarcely missed a day during the four years. It is a good thing, for we would have surely missed him. Oh! how happy he was when the good old lunch bell would ring! How he would dart out, and in three seconds be enjoying his favorite pastime! Forgive us for telling, Jim, and may the future give you many happy days and success. RAYMOND JOSEPH VEROLINI Energy and animation personified expends itself in “‘El- mer.’ He is ever in the spirit of the race, and when it comes to sports he is tops. A great guard on both field and court, he will be remembered longest by his falls in his unyielding effort for victory.

ANGELO ANDREW PICCICUTO Neat, dapper, with the most perfect cut of clothes, Ang. attended classes each day. On the gridiron he was a great “end” — maybe, an “All American” soon. Here’s all kinds of luck to the admiration of all the girls, and the envy of all our boys. JAMES JOSEPH PIERCE “Buster” from Tar Hill is always happy, witty, and smiling. In his early high school days he was a formid- able exponent of St. Bernard’s athletic clubs, but his great interest in the grocery business eclipsed a starring career. Such a practical outlook should guide Buster on to great heights in things commercial. THEODORE DONALD RENAUD Don is a bit on the quiet side, but still he is into every- thing. How he does love all social merry making! Yet he found time for his favorite author, Virgil, often de- claiming dramatically lines from the great Epic. He has not disclosed any plans for the future, so with much gusto we all join in “Bon Voyage, Don.” ARMAND JOSEPH RIVARD Armand is the serene listener who, when once aroused, reveals powers most convincing. Authentic etchings found even in the Year Book, indicate an artistic talent of no mean order. A manifest interest in aeronautics, however, warns us that the esthetic in art will cede place to the practical in science. NORMAN DANIEL SLATTERY ‘Pete’ is one of the most popular fellows of our class because of his sunny disposition and continual readiness for a good time. As to his future aspirations his silence has kept us at bay, but however, we feel confident that he will measure up to our expectations of him. bo to

GRETA ALMA ARSENEAULT Greta‘s dark beauty has always been beaming upon us. Whether in class or at lunch, just to hear her gladsome voice, and catch the warmth of her genial smile was enough to dispel the gloom of a rainy day. Keep on smiling down the years, Greta, and your recompense will exceed all your expectations. CORINNE LEA AUDET Corinne’s depth of soul glistens in the blue of her eyes. Her capacity for learning far exceeds her size, as we well know from the number of high honor ratings she has re- ceived. Continue the good work, Corinne, and yo ur success will come in cartons very soon. IRENE CECILE BABINEAU Irene is our generator of vivacity and intelligence. What is lacking in corpulence she, no doubt, expends in energy in the acquirement of knowledge. On the other hand, she never missed a social or a game, where she added much to the fun by her refreshing gaiety and charm. Let us hope that she will continue to spread enjoyment about her in life. MARY MADELINE BANIHAN Maty is a fine product of West Fitchburg, and has al- ways stood firmly for the right. Without her enthusiastic cheers our games would often have been lost. Now that she is about to leave us, we all too late, appreciate what a genial, friendly classmate we had in Mary. DOROTHY HELEN BARRON Dot’s sincere frankness grips you before you have been talking to her five minutes. She is low voiced and laconic, but most convincing. Her animation continues rising as you discuss the latest in sports; but there is no restraining her enthusiasm if she once begins on roller skating. Best of luck, Dot.
