Foreword : A feeling of sadness fills us as we publish this volume of the “Bernardian.’’ In its pages are contained the joys and experiences of four happy years, never to be relived. But again, we are happy in the thought that here forever will live those happy memories which will serve to lighten our hearts in the years to come when our most cherished treasures will be the reminiscences of our high school days. To you, kind friends, we present these pages as the final fruit of our endeavors, but even in your kindness we do not ask you to look upon this book as an achievement. Rather, if you would see here a greater advancement of the glory of Saint Bernard's, if you would realize and appre- ciate the self-sacrificing efforts of our Faculty to mould us in character, mind and soul, if you would see that we worked, not for fame, but rather to perpetuate our four happy years together, you would satisfy in fullest measure the highest aspirations of THE EDITORS. 10

RICHARD WALDRON CROWLEY Richard is our chief presiding officer, who has always maintained on the heights the virtues and worth of the ranks. His true officialdom was always kept in the back- ground except on rare occasions, when he then appeared his true self with a quiet, dignified and winning smile. How efficiently he has led the Class is very evident, and we all join in hearty wishes for a success his ability and high honor ranking deserves. JENNIE RITA PICCICUTO Here let us introduce our gracious little Vice-President. She has always a smile and friendly word for everyone and has done all she could to advance the welfare of the class. In the Italian Club she has held the office of Vice-President and Secretary, and has throughout maintained a high honor rating in her studies. We extend to Jennie our heartiest wishes for every happiness in life. MARION FRANCES MULLAHY Marion is our charming Class Secretary who has very conscientiously attended to her high office. Always affable and approachable she has added much to the pleasant days we have enjoyed as Seniors. Marion has been attentively preparing for a successful career in business, and we know that her experience as Class Secretary will add much to her fame. Best wishes, Marion, from all of us. BERNARD FRANCIS CHARTRAND Here meet our cheery Class Treasurer, who never seems to be borne down by the weight of his office. Wherever and whenever you meet Bun he is ready for a friendly chat on anything from Archimedes’ Principle to the latest Jap convoy we have sunk. His keen interest in all that con- cerns the welfare of the Class of ’44 has met with a ready response of gratitude from everyone. Best of everything, Bun. )
