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

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 =

OVIDE CHARLES DUBE Coming to $t. Bernards for the first time last September Charlie, found himself quite at home with us. In that short time he has made more friends than the rest of us during the past four years. Besides being Managing-editor of the “Blue and Gold” he also found time to serve as alternate in the Debating Team, and to engage in Dramatics. An honor-rating maintained all year in spite of various activi- ties, gives us a clear prediction of what to expect from Charles next year at College. NORMAN PAUL DUSSEAULT “Duss” starred in Dramatics and Debating as well as keeping up an enviable record in class work. His ready compliance with any request, and his generous support of all school activities place ‘Duss’ on a high plane of co- operation; and his fine spirit will remain as an inspiration long after he has left St. Bernard's. CLARENCE NORMAN FAGAN Genial and courteous Clarence has been the joy of his teachers at all times, and likewise has enjoyed a great pop- ularity among his classmates. A thorough sportsman he never let it interfere with his studies, for we found his rame listed in the honors at each quarterly report. Persevere Clarence, on your steady course, and you will reach the top. WILLIAM PAUL FISHER Cicero and Demosthenes would envy the fine rich quality and expressive cadence of William’s voice. His versatility revealed itself in his portrayal of Samuel in the “Upper Room,” and of Horace in “The Phantom Tiger,’ our class play. Whether it will be law or medicine we know, William will keep on scoring high. RICHARD OWEN FITZPATRICK Dick has been a devotee of the gridiron and also of the stage. Just which he will choose for a life work is not cer- tain, but whether he plays for the New York Giants, or appears on Broadway in a new role we will all be there cheering and rooting for our former pal.
