WILLIAM HERBERT QUINN A few minutes before the last recess bell called us back to class each day, Bill sauntered off from the crowd, tired, no doubt, of our endless bantering, and eager above all to get back to the books. His tall, lithe form will remain a memory with us of the happy days we spent together at se EP Bercy, HUBERT JOSEPH RIVARD Hubert, our flashy left forward, in this year’s basketball team made an enviable record for himself by his skillful manipulation of the pigskin. His fame does not rest alone on athletics for we understand that his coterie of friends is endless. Such promising youth will surely make its mark in the field of letters and sports. OLIVA JOSEPH RIVARD Oliva, straightforward, strapping, and pleasant, added much to the glory of our illustrious class. He never failed to exhibit the utmost courtesy whenever an occasion arose, and we can point him out with pride if ever the chivalry of our noted class is assailed. An expert in the business line Oliva will not stop even at the rank of Captain of industry. RICHARD BERNARD RYAN Dick, one of our favorite seniors, has ever lightened our arduous path to learning by his ever-present genial, cordial grin. Because of his worth we chose him Treasurer of the Latin Club, and we predict that his tireless, constant ef- forts to master Latin point the way to a great future. Go to it, Dick, we are all with you. HAROLD GEORGE SANDERS Harold is one of our representatives from Leominster. He has gained a host of friends by his buoyant spirits and cordial manners. He is a loyal supporter of all school activities and is always ready when help is needed. We hope you will retain all these fine traits, Harold, in the future, in whatever you undertake, and may you receive the best this life can offer. 24

EDWARD THOMAS McHUGH Ed is one of the high lights of our class. Well versed in many subjects, and the possessor of a rich vocabulary, he makes an interesting conversationalist. An ardent sports fan, he is quite clever at cartooning sports figures. Always good-natured, with a sprightly sense of humor, he made our classes ever bright. Our best wishes, Ed, for a happy and successful future. JOHN EDWARD MURRAY “Jackie” is one of the most popular fellows of 43. A splendid athlete, he is equally at home on the court, dia- mond, or gridiron. Possessing a jovial smile and irrepres- sible good spirit, he is ever a welcome asset in any of our social gatherings. We will miss him more as time goes by. HERBERT LEO O’NEIL Herb is popular with every member of his class. His simple way of being friendly and a high aimer has brought him much success. He has contributed much to the suc- cess of our class paper by his excellent sketchings, as well as his fine direction as Editor-in-Chief. We all wish Herb much success and happiness. GEORGE JOSEPH PELLETIER Whenever there are any athletic activities at school, you will always find George present doing his share. For two years, he was a winning lineman on the Bernardian football team. If his success in later life can compare with his foot- ball ability, we can expect great things from George in the future. JOSEPH JOHN PORRELLO Every day meticulously at 8:10 Joseph greeted us with a cheery ‘Good Morning’. A smile ever hovered and played about his lips even in the darkest hours of midyears and finals. He was an earnest classical student, and we all look for great things from our Joe of high school days. i) We

ROBERT KENNEDY SMITH Here is one of four gifted scholars, and star athletes. Bob has starred in baseball for four years besides taking part in football and basketball. He is quiet and retiring, but does not hesitate to engage in discussions at any time if necessity requires it. His distinguished work in all subjects makes him stand out as one of our best students. We give you our best wishes for happiness and success in the future, Bob. WALTER EDWARD STANTON Wally is one of our carefree, happy students. He is able to tackle serious studies and difficult work all in one stride with no diminution of his habitual cheerfulness. We hear that he is interested in flying, and if so, may your success and happiness be sky-high, Wal. PAUL JAMES TULIANO If speed were the chief requisite in life Paul would be on top of the world. He is always seen rushing from one class to another with split-second timing. He is President of the Italian Club, and a member of the Debating Club, where he has often impressed us with his deep sense of consideration. May you speed merrily on your way, Paul, to a bright and happy future! PAULSIOSEEMAVALLLE TLE Paul is small in stature but mighty in power of thought. His name has always been on the honor roll, and we are sure that his noble deeds in life will be ever listed in the role of fame. Paul has always been an active participant in all inter-mural sports, and there is nothing too small to in- terest him in school circles. Best of luck, Paul, from all of us. 25 eee N
