ANNE THERESA COLLETTE Petite and pretty Anne seldom disturbs the peace unless it is to offer an excellent recitation in class. Quietly and modestly she treads our path every day, and we would hardly know it except for her gentle, kind friendliness. For such real merit we have sincere appreciation, and extend our heartiest wishes for a bright future. LORRAINE HELEN COLLETTE “Rusty” is a general favorite with all, for she is always ready to help or join in the fun. Patient and calm she never becomes unruffled, even when our demands on her time and talent are unreasonable. Her favorite hobby is skating on ice or in the rink. May you have the best of every- thing along life’s way, “Rusty.” MARION GRACE COLLINS In Marion we find all the grace, charm and personality, that Roxbury could ever hold. Living here in Fitchburg, she has an ample share in the ‘‘limelight.’’ She is a friend to everyone, and everyone is a friend of hers. Did you ever see those feet of hers move on a dance floor? Lots of luck and success, and don’t forget St. Bernard’s of Fitch- burg, Marion. MADELINE CATHERINE CONNELL Our tribute to Madeline would be incomplete without a mention of her greatest charm, so—“A woman's crowning glory is her hair.” Reserved and somewhat shy she has, nevertheless, made rapid strides on the way to commercial fame. Whether it will be at home or in the military ranks one thing we know for certain is that Madeline's industry and worth are going to be for her another “crowning glory.”

IRENE NATALIE BRUNELLE She'd blush prettily if you were to tell her, but in truth, Irene is one of the most attractive girls of our class. We who have heard her sing ‘Danny Boy” will never forget it; yet that same voice has at times almost raised the roof in leading Bernardian cheers. Good luck to a future sweet nurse! HELEN DOCIA CLAIR Helen is a new-comer to the class of 44. With her bright laughing eyes, soft voice, and easy manners, she has easily been drawn into the fold. She has quickly become accus- tomed to the rules and customs of our school and is, be- sides, an honor student. Since she is also unusually inter- ested in flying, the class wishes her every success and hap- piness among the clouds. RUTH MARY COCHLIN Ruth has so loved us that she came back to our ranks after leaving us for the great capital of our country. The attractions of Washington were varied, and the educational opportunities many, yet they could not compare with the carefree, happy, even pace of our days here at St. Bernard’s. So now we have to say goodbye with reluctance to Ruth, who made us so happy by remaining in our ranks senior year. MARGARET RITA COLEMAN Rita has come to St. Bernard's in order to secure a good Catholic education. In that she has done admirably for she has been a constant member of the honor roll. She is never seen without a happy smile, whether translating a dif- ficult Latin passage or enjoying a good joke. She is sec- retary of the French Club. We know. that you will make a splendid nurse, Rita. b 23 ea

NATALIE ANN CONNORS “Nat” is a quiet and modest girl. Her actions speak louder than her words. During her four years in high school, her name has occupied space on the High Honor Roll. She is noted for her smile, her friendliness, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. We will be proud to have you as a representative of $.B.H.S. at Our Lady of the Elms next year, and we certainly will miss you, Nat. RITA ELIZABETH CORMIER Rita, our titian-haired comrade from the renowned sub- urb, Cleghorn, has pleasantly, and in a friendly manner mingled with us all. She was a successful member of the Commercial Department, and we have every indication that her developed talents in that field will bear much fruit in the days to come. So, with reluctance we take leave of Rita now, wishing her well in the busy mart. MARIE AGNES COSTELLO If we had our choice of someone with whom to be ma- rooned on a desert isle, it undoubtedly would be Marie. She has the attributes which make lif e enjoyable, namely good nature, imperturability, sincere kindness, along with an oftseen dimpled smile. She has successfully completed the Commercial Course in the manner typical of West Fitchburg students. We hope you find life as gracious as yourself, Marie. MARJORIE ANN COTE Marjorie has been a true friend during our four years stay at St. Bernard's. Always merry and gay, she has cheered us up many a time. She is a zealous student as well as a tireless sports fan. Among her many outside activities, she prefers dancing. A member of the commer- cial course, she is sure to be a success in the business world. U =F ese
