MARY THERESA KEANE Tripping along the corridor at a spirited rate, Mary still at times comes late to class. The reason why? Ask Mary. She is for the most part bubbling over with fun, but a re- strained exterior belies the fact. Merry trips, Mary, in the corridor of fame. JANET MARY KEATING Janet, the girl with a million friends, a gay smile and a heart of gold, concluded her fourth year of classical studies at St. Bernard. She is frequently seen at the wheel of an Oldsmobile rolling away without a worry in the world. Her sharp wit and keen humor have enlivened numerous groups at lunch hour. Intending to further her studies at Mount Holyoke, we are sure that she will be a credit to St. Bernard’s. THERESA MARGARET LABELLE Theresa has been our delight and St. Joseph’s pride during the past four ycars. Naturally likeable and delight- fully congenial, she has unassumingly maintained a cheery atmosphere about her, especially before school and at re- cess. We are at a loss as to her immediate plans, but we know with her whimsical humor she will continue on to a creditable goal. Here’s luck, Theresa. ROSE MADELINE LANDRY Tall and unruffled, quiet and affable, Rose emerges each day from Room 31. With a goodly number of books she trips along noiselessly from 31 to 35, then to 24, and after- ward to 33. By the end of the seventh period, she has acquired a well-rounded stock of knowledge—such as only a true Bostonian, which Rose formerly was, is able to grasp. To such a worthy senior, we offer sincerest wishes for the future. 29

FRANCINE ELAINE LOUISA HANNON Fran is distinguished for her sunny disposition, her ready smile, and her willingness to cooperate. She is well versed in the art of singing, as demonstrated by her rendition of “Tll Walk Alone.’ But it is not in the fine arts alone that Francine is skilled, for few can beat her rattling the keys of the typewriter or deciphering Gregg. Now, with re- luctance, we say adieu, wishing Fran happy office hours, merry typewriters. FRANCES LEONA HEALEY Light-hearted and gay, Frances tripped from Monday morning until 1:45 Friday afternoon. We never remember seeing Frances blue or glum, but often her amiable per- sonality dug us up from the depths. No danger the world will ever slap down on Fran, for the top is meant for girls like her. ; MARGARET MARY HOGG Room 31 is the happy possessor of this titian-haired maid who, like a veritable dynamo, covers a wide area each day in the interests of '45. Richly endowed with an irre- sistible smile, Margaret makes each class of ours ‘“‘a bit of heaven dropped from out the skies’; and what we are go- ing to do without her in the future is a sorry guess for us. All possible luck, Margaret. THERESA LORRAINE JACQUES A shy little miss who is ever ready to help, and who helps at recess to make a merry party in Room 35, Theresa winds her way among us without the slightest pretence of seeking notice. It is only as she is about to leave us that we have appreciated her full worth; and thus we hope in the years to come, to make Theresa conscious of our great esteem.

MARY JANE LaPOINT Pleasant, vivacious, and talkative Mary Jane helped to keep the spirits of ‘45 at a high tempo all the time. One little word with her seemed to clear the clouded sky; and many a pensive moment was robbed of its languor by her oft’ whispered query, “Did you have a good time at the dance?’ At the end of four years we have learned Mary Jane is a classmate worth knowing, easy to like, and good to have as a friend. MARY LOUISE MILDRED LaROCHE Here we find a girl not too much on the studying side, but also has cultivated a yen for piano and xylophone. What would a class be without Mildred’s jokes, and ques- tions on the subject being discussed? She is noted as be- ing always good-natured and willing to help a friend in need. Although her plans are not quite definite, we wish her the best of luck for the future. LUCY MARY MAZZOLA In Lucy, we find a quiet, reserved studious lass who says “little and knows much.” Although always in on the fun, she has the ability to check herself in class. With these qualities we are sure she will make a success in every- thing she undertakes. BARBARA ANN McDERMOTT Fun-loving and still in earnest at the right moment, Barb makes her way. She is fond of hayrides and parties, as well as football and basketball. Having enjoyed four years of her cheerfulness—some of which she shares with her friends at Brock’s, we now bid her good-bye and wish her the best of everything in future years. 30 — Ti } win é
