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

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

el ai 2 FRANCIS RICHARD LE CLAIR Franny has been our synonym of bodily vigor and unde- finable mirth. He has revealed himself as an athlete of worth, and as a dependable friend. We know that his wit and joviality have as a founda‘ion, aggressiveness, sensibil- ity, and seriousness of purpose. We wish the best of every- thing for him. NICHOLAS JOHN MONTESION We get the impression that Nick is a busy man of the world whose many inieresis keep life from becoming drab for him. Quiet in manner and sincere in purpose, he has impressed all of us at St. Bernard's as a good dependable fellow to have for a friend. PHILIP NORMAN NORMANDIN Phil made himself a renowned figure in the field of sports—football his specialty. Although bold and daring on the gridiron, Phil is retiring and decidedly conservative in the social sphere, but it is just that which will get you far in the world of friends, Phil. Keep up the good work, and Dame Fortune cannot but repay. ROBERT ALFRED NORMANDIN Bob, straightforward, strapping, and pleasant, added much to the glory of our illustrious class. He never failed to exhibit the utmost couriesy whenever an occasion offered. From what we hear Bob intends to become a draftsman. Go to it, Bob, we're all with you. ERNEST ARTHUR NOURIE Here we introduce our future “‘Inness’’ of the class of '46. On the side Ernie's cartoons have furnished many chuckles; but his paintings and formal drawings have ever impressed us as evidence of the latent talent that will bring glory to our class. Smooth sailing, Ernie, and here's hope that your ship will dock at the desired port. 17
