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

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

ANTHONY PANDISCIO “Marka” made an enviable record for himself by his skillful manipulation of the pigskin on the gridiron. His fame does not rest alone on athletics for we understand he has a host of friends in and out of school. Best of luck from us all, Marka, and may your star shine long and bright. JOSEPH ROMEO PELLETIER Romeo is one of our represcntatives from Leominster. He makes life pleasant for himself and his classmates, as well as his teachers, by combining both work and play into a harmonious whole. Our best wishes for a happy future, Romeo. LEO JAMES REGAN “Clem” won his laurels in sports often, but never more so than in his famous ninety-yard run in the game with Leom- inster. He portrayed “Judas” with distinction in the Pas- sion Plays, and “Tony” in the Junior-Senior Reception. In social circles he is well liked by all, and now at graduation he takes away with him the best wishes of every member of his class. JOHN PAUL SARASIN With very little exaggeration John is a veritable treasure house of learning. In the math. classes it simply bubbled over, as he was never at a loss in the solution of the most difficult problem. In his social interests we rate him Al for he was always genial and kindly. He was a member of the Dramatic Club, and often entertained us with apt performances. The best of everything, John, in the dra- matics of life. ROBERT ALFRED SAVAGEAU Robert was our daily companion for four years during which time we learned to appreciate his worth. Retiring, and with enough level-headedness to be an interested student, he scored many unusual successes in the classroom. With a practical bend to business, we won't be at all surprised to hear great things from Bob very soon in that field. Loads of luck, Bob. 18
