CAROL JANE DE CICCO In a list of traits describing Carol the leading one is un- doubtedly reliability. As complements to it we may add enthusiasm, balanced wit, and keen intelligence. Petite and charming she seemed to be everywhere at once, and yet pos- sesses a reserve that won our deep respect. We wish her success in her college work next year, and know that she will make many friends as she did here at St. Bernard’s. DOROTHY ALMA DOLAN In Dot, we have one of the most prominent members of our class. She has been especially active in both the Dra- matic and Debating Clubs. Dot is always present at all sport contests, where her wholesome spirit has done much for St. Bernards. In spite of these extra curricular activities, she has always maintained a high honor rating and we feel cer- tain she will do as well in her college days. BEVERLY ANN DOWER Summer, winter, spring you will always find Beverly at her best. She has gained the friendship of her classmates by her carefree, sunny manner. To us she is the ideal friend and classmate. Her desire to help others and her loving, winning ways are a real assurance of her future success and happiness. Best of luck, Beverly from the Class of '46. NORMA CATHERINE DRAGOTTI Pleasant, vivacious, and cheerful Norma is the girl with a million friends. She has generously helped to keep the spirits of ‘46 at a high tempo during our four years. A pursuer of the Classical Course she plans to enter college this fall. Best of luck and success to you, Norma. MARGARET MARY DRISCOLL Peggy won the hearts of all her classmates by her amia- bility. Although we were at first misled by her reserve, we soon found beneath this composed exterior, a fun loving, friendly student, alert and serious. She has been a high honor student and Student Councilor. We can see her now all set for a future smoothly paved in the commercial world. 23

JEANETTE MARIE CORMIER Jeanette is always happy and never worries about any- thing. Her naturally amiable and congenial nature has made her a general favorite in all her classzs. Often, her bub- bling laughter broke upon us at some dull corner of school life, and we could but reflect its vibrant happiness. In the future, may the best be yours, Jeanette. JEANETTE MARY CORMIER , Quick—best describes Jeanette. Her flow of words often gives us the urge to inquire, “Where is the fire?’’ Never- theless, she has paused long enough to carve her initials on the tree of our friendship, and to become one of us. We trust that Jeanette will find much success, as she keeps pace with her good nature through life. DOROTHEA MARY COTTER Dot is a combination of poise plus charm. She always has a good word for everyone and shows alertness of mind in any emergency. She is particularly fond of dancing and is also an earnest pursuer of the commercial course. Best wishes from the class, Dot, and may God bless you always. PAULINE ELLEN CROWLEY Poppy, one of our most popular seniors and an excellent debater, has never let her name be missing from the honor roll. Her whole-hearted support for all school activities could never be questioned. Anyone who has ever known her has been impressed by her friendliness, sincerity, and winning personality. It goes without saying that in the years to come, Poppy will be a real credit to her Alma Mater. RITA LORRAINE DAUPHINAIS Lorraine is the embodiment of friendliness, and an ever present readiness to lend a helping hand. Her serene smile was our daily assurance that things were running smoothly. When she has secured her coveted office work after grad- uation, she will continue, we are certain, to uphold the standard of her Alma Mater. 22

PAULINE THERESE DU BOIS Is there anyone more cheerful, gay, and laughing all the time than Pauline? She is always ready to hear a good joke and give one in return. She has maintained an honor rat- ing throughout her high school course, and we, now with reluctance, offer to the commercial field our finest example of wholesome cheer. MARY LOUISE FALLON Genial littie Mary was a staunch defender of all that was St. Bernard’s during the past four years. She moved in and out of class with the least disturbance, and was always ready with her winning smile to help us along the road of studies. We hope that graduation will not set us too far apart, and that the coming years will bring us often together. DOROTHEA PAULINE FINNERON Gentle and dignified, Dorothea spent her high school days most profitably, with the consoling result of high honor rat- ing. Still not one of us had a better time, nor was more gracious or genial than she. Her quiet laugh often soothed our ruffled spirits, and it is for this that we will miss Dor- othea long after we have left St. Bernard’s. Best of luck to a model student. ANN RUTH FLATHERS Here we meet one of the friendliest girls in our class. Whether it is the beginning or end of the day Ann is al- ways the same and willing to help anyone she can. Apart from her studies she enjoys many sports especially skiing and flying. We are not certain of Ann’s future career, but we take this occasion to wish her all the luck in the world. JANE MARIE FLYNN Jane is the personification of happiness, wit and esprit. We don’t remember her ever passing up an “A,” and as for reading she cannot be sufficiently supplied with the se- same. Yet Jane is ever ready to fill out a commission, and is never too occupied to lend a helping hand. We are glad to have made her acquaintance and hope that the future will give much happiness to Jane.
