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 =

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

RAYMOND JOSEPH LEGER Ray is our pride and joy in the world of sports. He played second base last year for our team, had his own football eleven—The Tigers’, and secured position of goalie in the Fitchburg Junior Hockey Club. His greatest love is base- ball where we know he will make a name. ROBERT HAROLD LOISELLE “Rocky” was the first to reach ‘Senior Alley’ every day at 11:15. If any other member should usurp the right woe to that wretch; for, before 2:30 at the latest he was tarred and feathered. “Rocky's” closest friends knew his fort was boxing, but due to studies and work his laurels in that field had to be retained for some future day. We hope then to be near him to cheer him on. EDWIN KIERMAN McCAFFREY We have aspirations for Edwin in the journalistic line, and we feel he has too; since he has so wholeheartedly given himself to the interest of the “Blue and Gold’’. However, he did not sacrifice his classes for his loved hobby for we've seen him reach high honor in Chemistry and Math. In fini he developed a well-balanced schedule for himself which will enable him to head for big things in life. DANIEL FRANCIS McKENNA, JR. Danny who was very active in the school athletics has held up the name of his school both on the football field and the basketball court. He can be seen anywhere because. of his towering height and because of this he has played basketball for a semi-pro team and the champions of the city. Through his high school years he has been very popular and we all hope that he will continue to be so in the future. LEO FRANCIS McMANUS Leo who hails from West Fitchburg was very active in extra-curricular activities. He has been the main stay in the “Blue and Gold’, working endlessly for its success. He has also been an honor student throughout the years. One thing he manages to squeeze in during his spare time is his hobby of collecting firearms of all sorts. One of the most popular boys of the class, we know that he will make a success of his life. PHernardian
