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

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

HENRY WILFRED MATHIEU Who would ever deny Henry the joy of riding after having once seen him drive his car? In class you would rate him as unusually quiet, but as once the last bell had rung, then see the gleam in his eye, especially at Enright’s Pharmacy. Happy days ahead, Henry. MARK AMBROSE McHUGH A sturdy fellow with a fondness for food, Mark will be remembered for the fine job he did on the football team three years in succession. Mark’s two hundred twenty pounds certainly scared the Keene eleven, for after the game was over it took them a week to recuperate. May your success in life be always as well earned and com- plete, Mark. THOMAS BASIL MULHOLLAND Tom’s philosophy of life never failed to intrude itself into even the recess periods; when he, soft-voiced, calm, collected, discussed the next basketball game or Harry James. We class him among the elite in the field of mu- sic, for how often has he not held us entranced with his soul-stirring trumpet. Manager of athletics, a high rating student, editor of the Bernardian—in all, Tom is one of our Outstanding seniors to whom we wish the best in life. JAMES FRANCIS NEITHERCUT Considering the little time he spends studying we are amazed to find that James stands among the highest in the class, yes, even to the height of five feet eleven. As the soul of sincerity James never let a day go by without taking his daily dozen strides to Harvard Street so as to pep up for the coming three periods. Cool, nonchalant but al- ways flashing his ingenious smile James has held our friendship all the way and will continue to do so in the years to come.
