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.

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

JOSEPH IRVING PATON Joe came to us from Lunenburg his junior year, and since his arrival has made steady progress in winning our sincerest affection. As a basketball player he is one of the best, and also a debater of weight. On the quiet we sometimes hear him at the piano, and know his ‘tenor’ has great promise. Ave atque vale to a grand pal. RENE EDGAR PELLETIER Our school photographer in the near future! Rene is the dapper, neatly dressed senior who never fails to reach school early, thereby preparing well the day’s work, while most of us are sleepily struggling to hit off the last bell. His hobby for snapshots has developed into a promising business, so that soon a shingle will protrude from some up-to-date stu- dio—‘R. Pelletier—Photographer.” NORMAN HECTOR RABOIN “Yicks” ushered at the fourth hour period every day, and did such a good job of it, that he has won the commendation of all. He is another of our handsome athletes, with a defi- nite interest in the major leagues. Some day we'll be yell- ing, “Yea Yicks, Yea Raboin,”’ at Braves Field or the Chi- cago Stadium. NORMAN EDWARD RHEAULT Scott’s ‘“Malcolm Grahme”’ he appears to us, and in fact Norman has all the earmarks of the sturdy youth who was the inspiration of the great poet and novelist. He is a typ- ical American in his avid reading up of all sport news in the ‘Sentinel’, ‘““Gazette’’ and ‘Boston Post.’’ Such careful reading will bring results—professional or college football. JOHN PAUL RODDY John is a four lettered man having participated in sports since freshman year. His love of the sports is second only to his love of studies, if we are to judge by his earnest ap- plication at fourth hour study. A gentleman always, quiet and affable, John will be a welcome asset in any profes- sional sports outfit, or college team. 2» Pernardian
