“ DOROTHY MARY BEAN Smiles, dancing eyes, energy, happiness—there you have Dorothy. No matter what is the issue at hand, whether studies, or hobbies, or sports, Dorothy is in it whole- heartedly and diligently. She took each day as it came, and was never heard to grumble about the homework. Summing up her many good points, we can only say in brief, that she is a Bernardian in the finest sense of the word. LORRAINE PRECILLE BELLIVEAU Lorraine, charming and vivacious, never did things by halves, whether it was chemistry, math or Latin, she was equally prepared in all, and she did have her special love among them. This is what we are told forms the advan- tage of the Classical course, when we employ a well-bal- anced application to the various subjects. So, in the case of Lorraine, we look for glorious results in the future. v LOUISE ANN BELLIVEAU Petite, vivacious, pleasant—such was Louise from the first days of freshman year. During senior year she kept Room 21 from ennui by her constant chatting and gig- gling. A more helpful classmate could not be found, and as for courtesy and cooperation, we can only sum it up in a tribute to Louise—noblesse oblige. MARGUERITE ALICE BOURGEOIS Peggy is one of the many girls who travels to Harvard Street every morning from Leominster. She ‘is a likeable gitl with the mildest manners. Quiet, until drawn into animated conversation, where she then displays a latent sense of humor, and a quickness of intellect that makes her a most delightful companion. She has chosen for her destined work the secretarial service, and we have no doubt but that she will reach high C. NO NO

EDWARD MANTHORNE WUESTHOFF High Rock Road is not too high for Ed to climb after a day of busy school work with us. He breezed in upon us each morning with a flashing smile that made us forget our grouches, and right through the day he was the mainstay of any flagging spirits. As a member of the C. A. P. he is very fond of flying; and can also make his car “fly” pretty fast, especially when he is behind schedule. Keep “em flying,’ Ed. We are all with you. EDWARD WILLIAM YOUNG Friendly, earnest, and preeminently capable Ed, with the handsome dark hair and eyes was the joy of our stay here at St. Bernard’s. Retiring and carefree he, neverthe- less, sought every opportunity of giving a timely lift or help whether it was in regard to studies or fun; and for this genial, true comradeship we will long remember him after school days are over. Here’s ours for the best in the world, Ed. RITA GRACE ALLEN Rita, blonde, blue-eyed, and smiling, used to hold us spellbound at recess with her stories of excitement and ad- venture. Sometimes we even forgot to eat, so that the bell rang before our hunger was appeased. In the business world we know that Rita’s efficiency will be equally as impressive. Loads of luck, Rita. THERESA DORA BASQUE Theresa has been a faithful guardian of the senior dig- nity, even when most of us were forgetful of that high perogative. In the morning she brought a quiet, gra- cious air about her which she maintained throughout the seven periods of the day. What an asset for a future suc- cessful secretary! 2

TERESA JANE BROWN Teresa is our bright-eyed titian, with a hundred laughs reserved for every hour. A student of exceptional ability, because her ratings were always creditable, and that with- out the slightest apparent effort on her part, she enjoyed her school days to the full. Her hobbies are sports and dancing, and we trust she will not lose interest in them when she takes up her chosen profession of nursing. LUCILLE THERESA BRUNEAU From the suburban slopes of West Fitchburg, Lucille sped to us each day, flitting in and out our classes with the maximum of results and the minimum of notice. She is shy, quiet, but withal friendly and an engaging conver- sationalist, when you have broken down the barrier of re- serve that surrounds her. So, best wishes for the best in life, Lucille. RUTH ELIZABETH CANNON What can we say of a girl who seems very shy on first acquaintance, but who later becomes the friendliest friend you ever had? She could be nicknamed “‘giggles’’ for she always has a merry group in stitches. Ruth, one of our titian-haired comrades, is striving to keep up in her secre- tarial work, for which we wish her the best of luck. JOAN THERESA CHARLTON Dignified, calm, cool, and collected, Joan steered through the difficult stream of Commerce for four years with an enviable record of high honor rating. This does not mean that she was a bookworm, for sports, the Blue and Gold, and other activities took up her leisure time. We remember especially her fine work in cheer leading team, and for her finance help to the Bernardian we are most grateful. Best wishes for success, Joan. WERE ee ned A nN Wo
