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.

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.

RITA VIRGINIA BASQUE Quiet and unabtrusive, Rita has wended her way in and out among us, and we would scarcely have realized her presence if it were not for her fine scholastic rating. Her obliging manner and ready offer of service at all times will be her open sesame to success and friends. PHYLLIS MARY BEANE This blond favorite joined our ranks in Sophomore year, and has since continually made friends by geometrical progression. Our only regret is that she was not with us for the four years, and we are now parting from her all too soon. May your success increase in the same measures as your friends, Phyllis. LUCILLE ADELINE BEAUCHEMIN Lucille of the soft voice and gentle mien, never failed to add glory to our ranks when it was a question of scho- lastic endeavor. Apart from that she sought retirement as much as possible. May she continue in the coming years in her own inimitable way to shed the luster of merit on the Class of ’42. CONSTANCE MARIE BEDARD If ever mischievous brown eyes had an irresistable charm, then Connie’s have. That singular trait together with her friendly, affable manner is the secret of her unrivaled pop- ularity. May her abundant energy, so often displayed in cheering our teams to victory, be effectually employed in her future business career. ELIZABETH ANNE BENSON Betty is a friend that any class would be glad to have. We are glad she is one of us, and in the years to come we will recall with delight her merry laugh, and witty repartee. Here’s the best of everything to you, Betty.
