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

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

ROBERT LEO LAVOIE Tall, dark, and every inch a gentleman—such we desig- nate Bob. In appearance, undoubtedly serious, until his mild but subtle humor lights up the day. As for things material including studies, Bob has always maintained a balanced unconcern, looking always toward the highest goal where such trivialities have no place. Keep it up, Bob, and win out. ALPHONSE L’ECUYER Al is our gift to America for an all-out win in the next few months of warfare. His likeable grin went hand in hand always with an innate sense of humor. We don't think that Al is the worrying kind when it comes to les- sons, but we all agree that he is a fine classmate and a portrait of a true Bernardian. PIERRE LEGER Morpheus waged many a battle with Pete, but thanks to the grit of the Cleghorn warrior the god was completely routed. French II was the period of the greatest conquests for which we must crown him. Pete tells us the sun looks best at night; but why argue, for he must know. Stick to your guns, Pete, and you will come out on top. ARMAND HENRY LOZEAU Small in stature but a dynamo of personality, Armand was Uncle Sam’s choice in early January, so he was forced to part company with us to enter the Tank Corps of our great army. Ever bubbling with fun and mischief Ar- mand, nevertheless, maintained a healthy balance of each as the time required. In his new work we hope he will ever remain the same cheerful, steady chap that we knew at St. Bernard’s. V7
