MARY ANN COURCHENE We often wonder where Mary finds all that extra vitality to be a member of the Honor Roll, and still keep in touch with the latest dance steps. She evidently be- lieves in the happy medium of a well-balanced school course — much work and some pleasure. Such sensible pursuit of knowledge will necessarily outwit the book- worm, and at the same time, avoid the pitfalls of the extremist in pleasure. Best of luck, Mary. LUCY HELEN COSTIN Lucy, although she is a diminutive miss, shall never go unnoticed in a crowd. Her beautiful red hair is her crown- ing glory, and was often the envy of many of her class- mates. She has a light-hearted, jovial way about her that will carry her far in the field of nursing, which she has prudently chosen. May prosperity and happiness be yours, Lucy. CATHERINE HELEN CRAIGEN Catherine is listed as one of our most attractive blonds, and a general favorite of all our classes and social gather- ings. She has been a continual member of the Honor Roll, which bespeaks much mental worth; and that together with her lovely smile will lead Cathy a long way on the road to success in her chosen profession. GERTRUDE IRENE CRAWFORD Gertrude’s lovely complexion brightened by her merry smile has often been the envy of us all. Only her most intimate friends have been able to appreciate her worth and sterling character, for her reserve and unassuming silence has kept her far from the limelight. However, we did not fail to note many fine traits, and these will remind us of Gertrude in the days to come. MARY TERESA CURRAN Curry, one of our best-liked Seniors, has red hair, blue eyes, and the calmést exterior possible. But don’t be de- ceived. She is as full of fun and gaiety as the rest of us. She is particularly noted for her beautiful clothes, but her winning, attractive personality tops all. Loads of luck and happiness to you, Curry.

JENNIE THERESA CICALA Jennie was one of our lusty cheer leaders, and many are the games at which she lost her voice from cheering for good old S. B. H. S. Worries never seem to cross her path, and the class of °42 extends heartiest wishes that when she enters upon her lifework in the business world, she will continue to spread about her, the refreshing, happy atmosphere that characterized her at St. Bernard’s. ALICE THERESA COLLETTE Scarcely would you guess that this titian-haired miss were present were it not for her forceful recitations. We have all noticed that neatness and efficiency have always accom- panied her work, particularly in stenography, which she desires to make her life work. We feel confident that Alice will prosper, as we bid her goodbye with our heart- iest good wishes. EILEEN THERESE CONNELL Eileen’s poise and tact was often the envy of most of us. She always seemed to do the right thing at the right time; and yet, in such an unassuming way that we almost failed to appreciate her worth. It is with reluctance that we take leave of her, wishing her every joy and happiness on the way. ITA MARY CONROY Ita, a vivacious blue-eyed lass, possesses a pleasing per- sonality which has drawn us all to her. We only wish that the time had been longer so that we might have known and appreciated her better. May your life be like the proverbial ‘‘bow! of cherries,” Ita. YVONNE CORINNE COTE Yvonne is the ideal example of the proverb “‘better seen than heard.’’ She has been an attentive and careful student, and possesses a praiseworthy simplicity which we all ad- mire. We have no doubt that this gracious miss will be soon sailing the sea of achievement while we sit by to cheer her on.

IRENE ELIZABETH DEBONIS Here is gentleness and sweetness combined, shining forth from two, deep blue eyes. Our lovely Irene is an outstanding representative of the High Honor Roll; but she is outstanding also as a classmate who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Many’s the time Irene has saved the day in Latin, and we know there won't be any missing rungs in her ladder of success. ANNA MARIE DEL BEATO From Anna's great interest in commercial work we know that she intends to follow a business career. Her brown eyes, sparkling with fun, beam out on all occasions, even when as violinist in the orchestra she leads us to and from assemblies. With her record as high honor student she will be a welcome asset in any business firm. IRENE CONSTANCE DENOMME Although Irene has never sought the limelight, her superior scholastic ability has placed her on top. Her favor- ite recreation is dancing, and we know that with that lovely personality and attractive smile, she will never be a wall- flower at any dance. Best of luck in the future business world, Irene. JACQUELINE FLORENCE DESILETS Jacqueline with her bewitching smile and gay laughter must have brought from Leominster all the gaiety of that spirited city as she entered our midst each day. As a re- sult Jackie has found herself surrounded by a host of friends from the beginning. Lots of luck, Jackie, from all of us. BEATRICE LAURA DESGROSEILLIERS The remembrance of happy high school days naturally re- calls to mind stately Bea. She is one of the finest in our class, and has won the hearts of everyone. Her bit of joviality and genial humor have done a great deal to make our class a happy one. Won't she make a charming little secretary for some lucky concern!
