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

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.

ROBERT RICHARD HEALEY Robert is always unruffled, calm, unassuming and full of good nature. He never seeks the lamplight, not because he is easy going, but because he is worthwhile. In the years to come we will take pride in recalling our high school days in which reliable, irresistible Bob played a very great part. PAUL JOSEPH HURTUBISE If you should visit the Hurtubise home you would find one unique corner—Paul’s room which contains a display of banners that would rival that of a Republican convention. In school Paul holds a permanent position on the honor roll, and a lasting abode in the hearts of his fellow classmates. JOHN JOSEPH ISABELLE John, blond, handsome, with matchless brown eyes is a typical twentieth-century Catholic co-ed. His flashing smile and roguish shyness make him a swell pal and most popular Senior. When he’s settled in college next fall, if the G. I.’s make room for him, we expect to hear the campus resound with praise of his exploits. FRANCIS ARTHUR JOYCE Franny is our genial friendly pal from Room 35. He al- ways liked to set a pleasant tempo for class, especially one in Room 23 by proffering a little humor to start with. Fran- ny has long since been launched in business at McCann's Shoe Store. That’s why we often said to him from sheer envy: Oh, those shoes!! EDWARD ANTHONY LASTELLA If the business world is looking for a dependable, up- right, progressive young aspirant we hope that it meets Ed- ward, our gift to the economic recovery. All through our high school course he has carried high the standard of good will and cooperation. Mingled with his tempered, serious demeanor is a supply of genuine, bubbling good nature, and this as well as all his other good points spell inevitable success. Bernardian =
