VICTOR JOSEPH CARPENTER Vic has developed in the course of the four years an al- most insatiate thirst for knowledge. However, he always kept a happy medium, and never failed to flavor the un- savory dishes of learning with a bubbling, stimulating hu- mor. He took our jests as well as we took his, thus en- shrining him in our hearts as one of our best friends. Good luck, Vic. JOHN PAUL CARRIER A Leominster fellow with his heart set on flying, John is another valuable asset to our class. His pungent and quick wit has won him many friends and a classroom wouldn’t be complete without John. He is another worthy of the C. A. P., and after graduation, plans to do a little (?) flying. Keep ’em flying, John. RALPH ARTHUR DEROSIER Ralph is a lover of culture and fine arts, confirmed by his pursuit of classical lore for four long years. He has an established reputation as an athletic rooter, while his musical ability is of no small order. For your persistent endeavors in the field of learning, Ralph, we hope an abun- dant harvest of achievement will be yours. FRANCIS AUGUSTUS DULING The cartoons and art work of our book are greatly due to Francis, who strove his best to give us something worthwhile. He is a sturdy rooter for West Fitchburg, and intends to place his home town on the front lines by his future achievements in the world of art. Go to it, Franny, we ’45ers are a hundred per cent behind you. 15

J NORMAN JOSEPH BOURGAULT Norman's persistence in the field of learning was sec- ond only to his alertness for fun. In class his enthusiasm must have been as refreshing for the Sisters as an April shower, for he was ever a hundred per cent with the teachers. In the cross-roads of life we hope to meet Nor- man often with his usual engaging smile and friendly greeting. RICHARD DONALD BRODIE If there is any truth in the fact that the contrary of our dreams always materializes, then Dick's future, as the contrary of school days, will be quiet and almost dull. Never a day passed without his enlivening each class, and his loyal support of athletics helped to keep the tension high there, too. Dick’s eye is on the Navy, and we can al- most see him now—Admiral of the fleet. Best of every- thing, Dick. GEORGE BERNARD BUSSIERE George’s heart is in keeping with his height, and over and above that, it is gold—pure gold. Will we ever for- get his car filled with rooters, and his lusty yells at the football games? When it comes to studies he slows up a little, but nevertheless worked with a definite goal in view. All the luck in the world should be yours, George. ANDRE GEORGE CARON Andre has drawn much advantage from his ° slender frame by managing to reach hither and yon in the briefest space of time. He was scholastically inclined for the most part, but in the tennis court often shone with more bril- liance than many a larger luminary. His plans are un- known but as the going is, we suppose it will be the Navy, Army, or Marine.

CHARLES EUGENE DUMONT Here meet Charles, our “Blue and Gold” Editor, and one of the most versatile seniors we have. Charlie's art tomes furnished the motif of our year book, and his industry gave us a good portion of the art work. We hope that he will keep up his educational interests after graduation and wish him every success. JOHN LOUIS FARINEAU John is one of our fortunate pals on the pulchritude slant, and was no slouch when it came to studies. He daily spent a goodly amount of time in study, and an equally prolonged period in seeing that he was spotlessly groomed. To this sterling representative of ’45 we tender our very best wishes. EDWARD CHARLES HEALEY Eddie for the most part stood ace high physically, intel- lectually, and socially. He was always on time for school, but no thanks to him, since the ‘““Gruener Hardware’ did the trick. However, we suppose if Eddie didn’t wake up the truck wouldn’t either. So for much of the happiness of the past four years, we thank Eddie very much, and wish him the best in the world in the years ahead. RICHARD HENRY HOMEWOOD Dick was industrious, quiet and always most popular around school. His main fault was that of suffering from ruthmalism. He was a great football player as well as an admirer of all sports, especially hiking. As his car took up most of his time, we were the losers in that we did not enjoy enough of the society of one of the most friendly, genial seniors of °45. 16
