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.

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.

JOSEPHINE CONSTANCE BONAFFINI Josie, the smallest of all our cheer-leaders, can make the most noise and raise the roof the highest when she gets going. Dramatics holds the greatest attraction for her, so that we will not be surprised if, in the near future, our peppy, genial Jo earns laurels in that distinguished field. ANNE MARIE BOURGEOIS Demure, petite Anne has many interests, skating and skiing take up part of her time, and the modern novels, especially those of Owen Francis Dudley, completes her list of winter hobbies. With her charming manner and sweet smile Anne ought to achieve great success, and go far on the road of achievement and success. DORIS ROSE BOURQUE Sparkling eyes, happy smiles, dimpled chin! That's Doris. She hasn't much to say, but she just seems to permeate the atmosphere with joy. It is her delight to col- lect odd trinkets, when she is not engaged in her favorite pastime — roller-skating. Bon voyage in business, Doris. MARGARET MARIE BROWN Margaret is the envy of many of us because she not only has her driver’s license but a car, too. She intends to put her classical training to advantage in the ranks of teaching, and we know she will become a veritable success in that field with her wealth of patient understanding and sympathy. OLIVE MARGARET BRUNEAU Ollie, one of the smallest girls in the Senior class, is distinctive among us because of her classic features and beautiful blush. Her hobby is collecting snap-shots but someday, soon, we expect to hear her saying, “Number, please?” i)
