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.

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

RAYMOND WILFRED FLUET All the girls were agog wondering who the versatile young man was with the definite trend for studies. It was in History that he keyed up most interest, but soon on the campus he revealed himself equally intriguing, and woa the distinction of being sociable, good-natured, and friendly. Now, after a short acquaintance we leave Ray with our very best wishes for the future. JOSEPH BERTRAND FREDETTE The tall, slender youth who covers so lithely the acreage of Oak Hill Links in his effort to become an expert golfer is none other than our Joe. All the free time that he has apart from his studies and work he devotes to this healthful pur- suit with the eager longing for a future of success. Keep on Joe, and fame will be yours. RICHARD THOMAS GARVEY Dick was a friendly, affable lad who kept the teachers busy answering questions and problems that were ever dis- turbing his youthful mind. On the gridiron as Co-Captain he was always on the alert and often earned in great mea- sure the victories that so often crowned the efforts of this year’s eleven. We hope to hear great things from Dick in his future career. JOHN FRANCIS GILLIS Jack is one of our giant members from the Southside. Characteristic of Jack is his ever pleasant smile and “wave’’ the latter of which he is very proud. We all remember him as the end who first scored against Fitchburg High. He often participated in Dramatics and Debates and ever ap- peared a loyal Bernardian. THOMAS JOSEPH HARRINGTON, JR. Tom was a very welcome member in our midst, when re- turning from Uncle Sam's service, he brought to us his fine lean stature, laughing blue eyes, and that mature calm- ness so characteristic of our returning heroes. We showed our appreciation of his joining our ranks by quickly electing him Student Councilor of Room 21, and President of the Spanish Club. —-Bernardian 19
