HERBERT JOSEPH LAMKIN Herb has the happy faculty of being quiet and reserved at the righ moment, but when the hour for fun comes there is no more ardent enthusiast than Herb himself. Busi- ness administration seems to be his goal, where we hope he will have a blue-banner record, when Uncle Sam ceases calling youth to fields afar. ROBERT JOSEPH LEBLANC Bob has distinguished himself as a fine baseball player, and a good student. With this combination and with his friendly attitude toward all Bob is sure to be a success in the baseball profession which he desires to follow. So, to a swell classmate, we wish lots of success in the days to come. RAYMOND WILFRED LORTIE We have so many nice things to say about Ray that we don’t know where to begin. In the first place he is a gen- tleman par excellence, and one of the most thoughtful and considerate among us; for, whenever there was a task to be done Ray was ready at a moment’s notice. That’s the type our country needs now, and we wish Ray every bless- ing as he launches forth on the great drive. CHARLES HENRY LYONNAIS Charlie is one member who needs no introduction. We have but to mention his mame and the thought of gay humor comes to our minds. He has fine scholastic abil- ity and is a strong supporter of any extra-curricular activ- ity. Besides these fine points he has been the main attrac- tion in dramatics for four years. We extend to this fine lad our best wishes, hoping that he will gain as much friendship in later life, as he has at St. Bernard’s. p 18

CHARLES JOSEPH GALLAGHER Charlie is another of our traveling students who bridges the gap between Fitchburg and Leominster every day. Be- sides, he has served as assistant manager, putting in many earnest hours in that capacity. Leominster has favored us this year with several advertisements for the ‘‘Bernardian”’ due to Charlie’s ingenuity and endeavors. For this and for all his efforts on behalf of the class we are forever grate- ful. Success always, Charlie. ROBERT HURLEY GORMAN “Bob” is one of the Spartan youth group of the Class of °44. Wherever there is a sports activity you will be sure to find him, and as far as we can discern basketball and baseball are his favorite pastimes. Bob’s interest in all school activities and his well-balanced capacity for seri- ousness and fun are indicators of a successful future. PETER PAUL KEAVENY Pete, although shy, is a member of whom we are all proud. His cheery smile has greeted us every morning for four years, and never has an unfriendly word come from his lips. Besides, being an earnest student, he is a good sport, and is one boy that we feel sure will take life the right way. From all of us, Pete, the best of luck in any- thing that you may undertake. ALFRED STEPHEN KILLELEA We will long remember Al as the tall, distinguished- looking senior who moved quietly from 31 to 24 etc. dur- ing our last year at St. Bernard’s. Alfred admires the Navy greatly, so it seems most probable that he will swell the ranks of the U. S. A. after graduation. Best of luck, Al, wherever you go. a

JOHN JAMES MARTIN “Boogie” has been lent us for the past four years by the great center, Sterling. He is a worthwhile representative for his great height made him a terror in the gym; while he has pursued the goal of learning with a lion-like cout- age. We expect to hear great things from Sterling in the days to come, through her citizen No. 1—the Honorable John James Martin. ROBERT FABIAN McGUIRK Bob will always be remembered as an active player on the football squad. His talents rest not alone on football, how- ever, as we discovered at the football banquet. There he re- vealed himself the possessor of an unusually fine tenor voice. Bob's genial attitude toward all will go a long way in mak- ing his life a continual success. May success always crown your efforts, Bob! JOHN DANIEL McKEOGH John’s fine physique is surpassed only by the vibrant richness of his clear voice. Often it has thundered forth at unexpected moments, only to end in a hearty, sponta- neous laygh. As an athlete and student he is one of our best, and it won't be long now before we will learn of the manly exploits of our ‘former classmate. Loads of luck, John. CHARLES MARTIN McNAMARA Charles has all the characteristics of the renowned scholars of old. Tall, dignified, thoughtful, quiet, he gave us the impression day in, day out, that Leominster fosters men of deep minds and intelligence. When the chatter ran high Charles was never a leader; but in class when dis- cussion began, he was always on the front line, second to none. We sincerely hope a fitting reward awaits so worthy a son of St. Bernard’s. EEN == 19 |
