1947 FOREWORD The heavy clouds of war with their spasmodic shifting and veering have receded in the distance; yet, like the summer thun- dershower they threaten to return and engulf once more our prostrate earth. We in our youthful enjoyments have not noticed the rumblings, but as we step forth to take our place in mature life we realize the imminent danger. Hence, in the preparation of our Annual we have endeavored to stress the importance in Catholic teaching, to high light the greatest joys and pleasures in our high school career in order that we may ever have with us as we cope with the problems of a chaotic world, a means of recalling the ideals and spirit of St. Bernard’s. ¥ DBernardian =”

JAMES JOSEPH DALY It didn’t take us long to find out the wisdom of our choice in selecting Jim as our leader in class activities. He settled down to work immediately and produced one of the finest class officers that St. Bernard’s ever had. He starred in athletics and dramatics and always appeared affable, smiling, likeable, and popular. Our heartiest thanks to a splendid pal. FRANCES ANN CHISHOLM Ann's dimples are our joy and envy. They charmed us into selecting her for our Class Vice-President. She has re- paid with generous earnest endeavors on our behalf, and has kept the records of illustrious °47 with a thoroughness not often seen. Although a Leominsterite she spends much of her time at school, and has worked hard for the success of the dramatic club. THERESA DOROTHY BOURQUE Class Secretaries seem to be always tall and slender; and Theresa is no exception to the rule. On the contrary she really emphasizes the truism, as she is tall, blond, witty, and a striking picture sometimes in a certain green sweater. She has carried on her duties as class officer with an ever-present — ease and poise that makes us proud of our choice of Secre- tary of the Class of ’47. RICHARD WILLIAM McCANN ee If you are looking for pluck and courage, here we present Pee it in our Class Treasurer. Forced absence in Junior Yeat = imperiled his chance of finishing with his class, but stead- fast effort brought him to the fore not only as graduate but as Treasurer, and a very efficient one at that, of his own loved crowd—the Class of ’47.
