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 =

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 =

JEAN PAUL CHARPENTIER A classical senior of high repute Jean has his mind all made up as to the future. We trust it will be but an echo of his high school days—for in his case they were halcyon days indeed. His special loves are hunting, skating, and skiing, and who will not envy him the enjoyment of these happy pastimes ? WILLIAM AUSTINE CURTIS Bill nearly broke our hearts for well nigh over two months because of the serious injury which he received at the opening football game. On his return he was welcomed with open arms by both boys and girls. Since then he has enjoyed an unrivaled season of popularity, not entirely from his football renown but simply because he is our affable, likeable Bill. ALFRED JOSEPH DESILETS Greetings to a future electrical engineer. Freddie’s fort is Math. and rightly so, for his great ambition is to go to Northwestern U. to prepare for his work. Nevertheless, he finds time for a few hobbies such as radio repairing (?), and neckties, yes, and photography, too, if you look through this book. PAUL NORMAND DOYON Paul hails from Leominster and has upheld the glory of the celluloid city by courtesy, friendliness, and geneality. Throughout the four years he has been an honor student, and has participated in all intra mural contests. He is an enthusiast of winter sports particularly skiing. When we meet Paul at the Olympus we know he will be the same fine chap we knew at St. Bernards. 7 PHernardian LVL
