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

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 =

JOHN HERBERT MORAN When you walk into Room 21 early any morning you may see a thin bespectacled lad rabidly setting forth his views on sports in general. Who is he? Jack Moran, of course. Besides being one of the fixtures in Enright’s Drug Store, he enjoys a game of football or baseball in the corner lot. Al- though he has a jest and a smile for everyone, he is one of our more serious students, well versed in debating. Here's wishing you all the luck the world can give you Jack. DAVID ANTHONY MORLEY “Great things from little acorns grow.” “Mel,” the smallest Senior boy with the biggest smile has accomplished many worthwhile things during his four years here. Not least of these is his art work in the “Blue and Gold,” and the “Bernardian.” Whether he will be manager of the De- troit Tigers, or Cartoonist for the Worcester Telegram, we know “Mel” will do a fine job. HERBERT FRANCIS MURPHY Our friendly and likeable Herbie in his daily bits of hu- mor, slipped in at lunch always made us conscious of his pride in being a resident of the ‘Comb City.” The excellen- cies of Leominster he thought were far in excess of those of our loved burg, but we let him win (?) since his forensic talent was superior to ours. MARK EDWARD O’NEIL Groomed to perfection, modest, and unassuming, Barney was one ideal Senior. He was an outstanding member of the basketball team but you would never know it unless you watched a contest or heard the account of one. Even though he was high scorer during the past season, we prefer to re- member Barney especially for the nice friendly way with which he always greeted us in and out of school. ROBERT JOHN PANDISCIO Bob of the Southside takes an active part in all school ac- tivities. As President of the Dramatic Club he has exerted tireless energy for the success of that organization. His role of in the Class Play won thunderous ap- plause. On the side his interests center on flowers, and we love to meet him driving the “Black Moriah.’ Every suc- cess, Bob.
