BENEDICT GUAZZO Benny’s breezy cheerfulness is as good as a spring tonic. Every morning he arrived on time wreathed in a smile, and the early afternoon found him bracing the burden of home- work even when football wooed his interest. This fidelity is his guarantee of success of which we wish him cartfulls. WILLIAM EDWARD HANNIGAN Bill has never flinched under the pressure of study during the past four years of Classical lore. In his Senior year he was a member of the affirmative debating team for the Dioc- esan Debate. His spirit of co-operation has been noted at all school activities. His keen sense of humor has won him many friends who will remember him long after the years spent at St. Bernard’s have passed. Best of everything, Bill. PAUL EDWARD HARRINGTON Paul was one of the best all-round athletes at St. Ber- nard’s in the class of 1946. He received letters for playing varsity baseball, football and basketball, starring in the latter. In addition he has won a place for himself on the honor roll. His willing helpfulness gained for him a host of friends, who now wish Paul all the success he so richly deserves. JOHN GERARD HAVERTY John turned out to be first class football material and dis- tinguished himself so that the New England Sport Writers nominated him to be Northern Worcester County All Scho- lastic Team. However, he did not become too engrossed in the gridiron, as his good line of school friendships show. When he enters college in the fall we wish him the best of luck all the way. BERNARD ALOYSIUS HORGAN A classical student of high ideals Bernard represents us at our best. He was retiring and studious, but whenever his services were needed he was right there with the help- ing hand. We understand that he is heading for Holy Cross, and we know there will be no better Crusader on St. James’ Hill than our West Fitchburg classmate of '46. 15

EDGAR YVES CHABOT Beyond the confines of our school “Speed” is known as an ardent lover of the wide open spaces. He likes skating, hiking, camping, and riding horses. He is also a stamp col- lector of fame, but when questioned admits that his ambi- tion is to travel far and see the world. Our sincerest wishes for luck will travel with you, “Speed.” ERNEST PETER COUTURE Ernie has always been an exceptional student, his name always prominent on our Honor Rolls. As a cheer leader he is outstanding and has inspired and united our cheering sections on many occasions. Always courteous and geniai Ernie’s saxophone playing has been an indispensable sup- port to our school orchestra. As a school councilor, a dra- matic star, and as the popular vocalist in our Junior-Senior Reception we have much to remember of Ernie. Good luck, Ernie, we know that great success is in store for you. ROBERT EDWARD CUNNINGHAM Bob is a member of our class who needs no introduction. We just have to mention his name and the thought of a friendly, earnest and capable Student Councilor comes to our minds. As president of the Dramatic Club, he has certainly proved his worth. Bob has the happy faculty of being quiet and reserved at the right moment, but when the hour for fun comes there is no more ardent enthusiast than Bob himself. So, to a swell classmate, we wish lots of success in the days to come. DONALD RICHARD FISHER A whiz at Chem and Math, that’s Donald, who has been with us since our first high school days in the portables. We will always remember his outstanding rendition of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” in our Junior-Senior Re- ception. Because he has such a fine sense of humor, Don- ald is a favorite with all his classmates. We are most con- fident that the future holds much of worth in store for him. Best of luck, Donald. DAVID WILLIAM GILMARTIN Merry brown eyes, wavy hair, one of ou r best dressed students, there you have Dave. Due to his ingenuity as Editor-in-Chief of our Blue and Gold our class paper has been printed for the first time. He is one of the most hu- morous boys in our class and his witty remarks have often entertained us. The class of ’46 joins in wishing all the luck possible in the future to Dave.

JOHN JOSEPH KEANE “Boogie” never failed us once in any time of need; and although possessing the customary reticcnce of our boys, he came out forcefully when the occasion demanded it. In sports he played football and starred in baseball. We extend nothing but the best to “Boogie” in his future studies. JOSEPH PETER KILLELEA Joe is a regular fellow whose undefinable mirth has al- ways been our welcome companion throughout our high school days. A real classmate, Joe manages to keep his mis- chievousness and seriousness well balanced. We feel sure that such a pleasant personality combined with a strong character will go far on the road to fame and success. The best of everything for the future, Joe. ROBERT MALACHY KITTREDGE A willingness to co-operate, loyalty to his friends, and his ever ready smile, have been the general characteristics of Bob. In high school “Bookie” has often spent his time in making his classmates laugh, and believes that one should worry about nothing. We all know that despite his humor and his nonchalant bearing, he possesses a real steadiness of purpose. Best of luck to a fine classmate. BERNARD THOMAS LAMKIN Always smiling, always pleasant, Bud has been a good tonic for his fellow students. He is one of the most like- able members of our class, an ardent sports fan whose pres- ence at all sports activities we took for granted. We hope that the coming years will serve to keep us always in close touch with Bud. CHARLES ROBERT LAVALLEE Charlie comes from the neighboring town of Leominster every morning. He is well-accomplished in playing the piano, his boogie-woogie performances winning him many in the line of an audience. He can also be heard talking of a new “this” for his electric accordion, or a new “that” for his saxophone. Keep up the good work, Charlie. We know you ll succeed. 16
