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.

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

GABRIELLE FERNANDE FORGET Gabrielle possesses a spirit of fun and frolic, while vivac- ity marks her every move. She has much promising talent in art as our Christmas angels revealed. Whether it is art, or the business mart that will engage her interest after grad- uation we all unite in wishing her oceans of good fortune. DORIS MARGARET FOURN IER Doris, always happy, carefree has spread her friendliness and cheer throughout the class, as the mayflower does its perfume. She was often the wit of our English class af- fording us many genuine, hearty laughs. We hope that Doris will find in the coming years all the happiness she has given us by her presence in high school. ROSE ANN FREDRETTE Our Rose has climbed steadily the ladder of honor rating for four years; and now from the top waves a lusty farewell to us, and she turns her eyes toward the promised land of success. We will miss her daily ‘cheerios’ but hope that her new acquaintances will derive as much heartening pleas- ure from her society as we have at S. B. H. JEANNINE MARIE GARIEPY We have recently learned that Jeannine is to be a repre- sentative of us in the telephone system. We will all be calling up just to hear the sweetness of her voice as often as we can before the dial system will silence it indefinitely. Best of luck, Jeannie, from the class. FLORENCE MARY GINGRAS Florence has been so quiet and pleasant that she has us floored as to what to say about her. We cannot say enough, however, in praise of her gracious, pleasant manner, and so we will end with a hearty wish that everything good comes her way in life. a Loy) a WH aN
