JOSEPH ALBERT It is hard to tell whether Joe is more indispensable at Sears and Roebuck’s or in the orchestra. Certainly he and his horn have kept the time for us faithfully throughout the years, and he has helped to maintain the fine reputation which our orchestra has earned. We have no doubt that as a salesman Joe will be tops. LAWRENCE JAMES ARNOLD Lawrence is in essence quiet, suave, well-mannered—a gentleman in every respect. Since his coming to us from Schenectady we have acquired a new interest in things scientific, and there may be more than several of us join- ing ranks with Lawrence in the pursuit of college engin- eering. Let’s look forward to great success for Lawrence and all our college boys. PHILIP EDWARD AUDET Genial, cheery Philip is a good advertisement of worth from the ranks of ’47. You would never find Phil out of sorts even when exams were bothering us, and his pleasant sallies with J. M. at French III were lots of fun for which we were most grateful. Keep on the sunny side, Phil, and you ll be a winner. RENE CAMILLE BERUBE Here is a boy of matchless good cheer. He will always brighten things up in a crowd. Leave it to Rene to come out. with a joke that will send the crowd roaring. That’s the way it has been for four years at 11:15, first corridor rear Room 22. Ask anyone who has had the joy of those lunch hours with him. Incidentally, Rene can also rival the art of Chris- topher Lynch. Keep it up, Rene. MICHAEL ANTHONY BORBONE Mike is ever quiet, carefree, and calm. Pleasant, unas- suming, and friendly he has made a lasting record as a good student, but much more so as a fine pal. Will we ever forget the English class when he asked so many questions we didn’t get a chance to recite? 6 Hermardian =

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.

ROLAND JOSEPH BOURGAULT A four-lettered man and an astute pursuer of technical lore Roland leaves us bearing with him the best wishes of every member of the senior class. He was always quiet, re- tiring but most dependable and sociable. Whether it will be chemistry or Trig that he will specialize in is of little mat- ter, for in either one he will be a whiz. HENRY GEORGE BOWEN “Hank” has exceptional ability as a student, which he puts to excellent use, but his dearest love is to mingle in forensics. At any time of the day, when allowable, he may be seen in the midst of a lively group, gesticulating and -pronouncing the right or wrong of some measure. We look for great things to come from our gifted classmate of °47. ROLAND HENRY BROUSSEAU “Navy” is our pride and joy on the baseball diamond and on the ice. In the latter sport he has carried off several awards, but plans a future in the baseball profession. We all look forward to the privilege of identifying ourselves as classmates of the world renowned pitcher—‘‘Navy’” Brous- seau, Class of ’47. RONALD OCTAVE BUTLER Just drop in to the meeting of the Debating Club some Wednesday afternoon and listen to Ronny air his views on how to handle the atomic bomb. You'll be enlightened, and at the same time filled with admiration for this wonderful chap whom St. Bernard bestows on the weary world to bol- ster up morale, and achieve a lasting peace. HENRY LIONEL CARON Henry possesses much strength of physique and char- acter gathered no doubt, from the good sod of Alphine Heights. Since we have known him he has always appeared a quiet, reserved lad taking keen interest in class work and all activities of school. In the “Upper Room” he splendidly played the part of Joseph, and will continue to fill a splen- did role in life. Bernardian =
