= Nisi Dominus, frusha — STE BERNARD MARTIN BARRON They say greatness always comes quietly and modestly. If so, then we have the primary requisite moving in and out among us every day in Bernard. That is why we can find so little to say about him, but that little is a grand tribute to a splendid, worthwhile chap. FRANCIS EDMOND BEAUREGARD Francis, tall and athletic is very quiet, with a courteous and businesslike appearance. A good student, he also takes an active part in sports, particularly basketball. The year book is ample proof of his skill as a cartoonist. We give him our sincere wishes for a happy future, and we feel certain that he will reach great heights in the commercial world. NORMAN EDWARD BELLIVEAU Norm, quiet and well-mannered, never had much to say, though a more loyal and cooperative student cannot be found. Some of his distinguishing traits are good nature, and a genuine sense of humor. To a hard worker in the classroom, his classmates give their best wishes for a happy and successful future. WILLIAM JOSEPH BERUBE Bright, clear-eyed, and radiant with life and vim, Wil- liam traveled to us every day from the northern regions of our great city. Quiet and unassuming until some help was needed, then alert and courteous he showed what a real Catholic gentleman was. Carry on the good work, Bill, and you will win the paim. LOUIS PHILIP BREAULT Here is a portrait of ideal Catholicism. Louis, reserved and silent, nevertheless did his share nobly whenever the need was apparent. His efficiency stood out clearly in the fine work he did for the advertising committee of the Year Book. Here’s hoping all his efforts will be crowned with like success. 17

DAVID BERNARD LEAVITT David has been a peer among class officers. Always willing to do anything for the good of the class, he not only accomplished his endeavors, but with such good grace, that we feel all the more deeply indebted for every- thing. Strong in his quiet, well-poised manner, David has the goods that will carry him far, and we all unite in of- fering him our sincere thanks for everything, and our best wishes for every success. MARGARET MARY MALLAHY Here we present our charming and dignified Vice-Presi- dent. In that capacity, Margaret Mary has shown herself an able leader in class affairs, and has with thoughtfulness and consideration of others, played her role in the interests of 43. In spite of her extracurricular activities, she has throughout maintained a high honor rating, which is a safe prediction of great things to come in the teaching profes- sion. How we would like to be a student in those classes of hers! Best of luck and prosperity, Margaret Mary. MARGARET MARY LAVALLEY In Peg, we have one of the lovliest assets to our class. Her popularity may be measured by her election as senior class secretary. An active and loyal supporter of school activities, Peg has cheered on many a score to victory. May success and happiness gild the road of life for her. STEPHEN JOSEPH O’HORO Steve is a student that undergraduates would do well to imitate. Courteous, studious, gentlemanly in all his actions and a lover of good, clean fun, Steve is one of the most popular boys in the class. His popularity is shown by his election as Class Treasurer. The fact that he is a sports expert added greatly to his popularity. We all missed Steve when he left us to enter Holy Cross, but we have no doubts concerning his future success. 16

—— Nii Dominus, pushtra ——— RICHARD PAUL BRUNEAU Dark and handsome, Richard has been a cynosure of every eye, not only in senior class, but also in junior and sophomore circles as well. However, “handsome is as handsome does,” so we look for great things in this modern topsy-turvy world from our friend Richard of ’43. NORMAN MATTHEW BRUNELLE Norman, a late arrival in our midst, has that unexplain- able trait that all new-comers seem to exercise upon us— namely that of walking straight into our hearts’ inner sanc- tum. That has unmistakably bespoken our true affection. Have no fear, Norman, for it will continue through the years. VERNE THEODORE CASAVOY “Cas’’ is known as a live-wire in the class, or to put it mildly, a genial classmate. Many days would have been gloomy, indeed, but for the ever-glowing smile and good nature that he persistently bore. He has informed us of plans to join the service, where we know he will do great things for Uncle Sam, and shed much glory on the Class of °43. ALEXANDER LOUIS CASTELLI “For he’s a jolly good fellow,” is the phrase which best describes ‘‘Cass.”’ Of a calm and affable nature, he is dis- tinguished by his ready wit and subtle sense of humor. He displays a keen sense of punctuality which we know will tide him over in the business world, and will send him off on the road to a happy and successful future. FRANCIS JOSEPH CHARLTON Ability, achievement, and a never failing fund of humor. That’s Frankie complete. In debating he was an ace, while we wouldn't have a year book but for his unremitting in- dustry and skill. Our only hope is that such talent will find a ready outlet, and shine with becoming luster in the years to come. 18
