weer nos en RES = 5 Wii Dominus, fustra —— JOSEPH JOHN JARZYNKA Only those who were with Joe in his mathematics classes and laboratory, fully realize what a scholar he is in those fields, and in others as well. We must not forget his bril- liant performances on the stage. Best of luck to you, Joe, in whatever field you labor. ERNEST RAYMOND JOYCE West Fitchburg is well represented in the Senior class in the person of Ernest. Quiet and conservative, he did not fail, however, to chalk up a number of worthwhile friends, who do not hesitate to hail him as an outstanding gentleman and scholar. Best of everything, Ernie, in this old war- torn world. JAMES FRANCIS JOYCE Another outstanding lad from Leominster has departed from our midst, and has joined our alumni, especially Bob Toolin, formerly of our class in Holy Cross. Jimmie has been an ardent follower of the athletic teams we have pro- duced. He will always be remembered for his realistic per- formances on the stage. Jimmie intends to become a doctor. Here’s hoping you have plenty of luck, Jimmie. PAUL THOMAS KEATING Paul’s list of friends does not stop with the Senior class, for we understand he is a favorite all over the city. Thus it ever was with worth, and although we are not green-eyed, we would like to know the secret of his success. Keep them guessing, Paul, as you mount ever higher in the ladder of SUCCESS. RICHARD THOMAS KENNEY Dick’s skill in handling the ivory was ever a great asset it | HI iT | to our class. Many a time our drooping spirits rose through his goodly offer to play. His ability does not stop with music either, for classes bear ample testimony to his schol- astic excellence, especially as a linguist. Best luck for al- ways, Dick.

JAMES GEORGE GALANOS Jim is somewhat on the quiet side. Unassuming, like- able and possessed of a strong, keen sense of humor, he has plodded through many a drowsy class period, and came out with a grin on his classic features. Although apparently nonchalant, he has accomplished much in the field of seri- ous endeavor. Keep up the good work, Jim. | LEO ISADORE GEROW Here we have a clear-cut youth of grit and determination —and enthusiasm when it comes to aviation air corps. Leo’s distinct and ringing voice convinced us often in debates, and entertained us highly in dramatics. His aim is high—no lower than the clouds, so we have no fear for a glorious future, when shortly after graduation he begins his training in the Army Air Corps. LEONARD WILLIAM GILMARTIN “Lenny” will long be remembered for his outstanding performance on the gridiron, stage, and forum. On the gridiron, a regular from his sophomore year, he was one of the best fullbacks we have ever had. Always quiet and low- voiced, we seldom heard from Lenny, but when we did—! Best of luck for the future, Lenny. RICHARD MYLES HANNON “Dick” is another product of what can come from that marvelous city of Leominster. He is a great sport and has many friends in both cities. Although born in Fitchburg, he moved to Leominster and spent most of his early days in the “Comb City’. Now he’s back in Fitchburg again, an item of much interest to St. Bernard’s. Loads of luck in the future, Dick. THOMAS JOSEPH HAVERTY Tom has been recognized as one of the best basketball players ever to set foot in St. Bernard’s gym. He has had the privilege of leading our team in many of its victories. Due to his size, agility, and skill, he was a tough target for his opponents, and was able to get through any enemy de- fense. We all hope you will break through as well in the outer mart, Tom.

JOHN BAPTIST LeBLANC John with the laughing, cordial expression radiated an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness wherever he moved in and out among us. In the morning his sunny smile geared us up for the day, and it was a gloomy Monday, indeed, that was not brightened by his presence. Keep it up, John. It’s worth all the trouble. FREDERICK MICHAEL MANSOUR Here we have one of the most outstanding members of our class. In the scholastic line he has distinguished him- self as one of the best. An able athlete and an ardent fan he formed an important figure in our sports program. Our best wishes ‘Freddie’ for a brilliant college career, and for every success in later life. RICHARD LAWRENCE McBRIDE Dick has faithfully traveled the torturous road of learn- ing, and has come out with a creditable record. He, never- theless, produced a superabundant supply of fun along the way. He has revealed himself as a football player well worth remembering. So we hope that he will keep his sense of humor throughout his stay in the army. VINCENT WOOD McCARTHY Neat, dapper, shy, one of our best-dressed students, there you have Vin. As our most enthusiastic cheer leader, a more ardent sports fan can nowhere be found. A winter- sports enthusiast, he is equally adept in skiing and skating. Good luck, Vin, we know that every success shall crown your efforts. JOHN FRANCIS McGRATH John is one of the most humorous boys in our class. Many a time he has entertained us with his witty remarks. However, John is never found neglecting his studies. He combines both work and play into a harmonious whole and makes life pleasant for himself and his classmates, as well as his teachers. John is what one would call a “reg’lar fella”. We'll be missing him.
