MICHAEL ANTHONY SPADAFORA Mike was characteristically quiet, unassuming and care- free, and for that more than any other reason we liked and esteemed him. He was always dressed ‘‘Comme il faut,” and was a charter member of the “Senior Alley’ club. When Mike will have left our midst we will look in vain for his equal in sincerity and friendliness. ROBERT JOSEPH SULLIVAN Bob is one of our popular gridiron heroes who has always been singled out for his courteous, fine manners. He seems a little on the shy side, which with us has always been a re- guisite quality for popularity. After graduation Bob plans to enter the Marine Corps. Such a fine outfit will receive plucky, sturdy material in our worthwhile Bob. ROVeCUEFORDsLELLIER Roy commutes from Leominster to St. Bernard’s every day. An excellent student with a serious bend during class hours, he secures high ratings especially in Bookkeeping, and should be an inspiration to us of the mediocre class. But human nature won't learn, and so we take our hats off to an excellent student, splendid sportsman in swimming and baseball. ADRIEN GEORGE TOUCHETTE A pursuer of the chase with a reputation well established, Adrien scores high in commercial law, too. Although coming from West Fitchburg every day, we have yet to see him ses- sioned for tardiness. No doubt it is the speed he has ac- quired from the hunt that brings him to the bus just on time. We wish to join Adrien in his pursuit for success and happiness. JAMES PAUL TUCKER From the lofty heights of the Southside Paul brings us the golden glow of that delightful region. Low-toned, calm, and restrained he gives us an inkling of great things to come, for it is his kind that sets the world afire with achievements of worth. Pernardian 1947

1947 PAUL FRANCIS ROGERS Paul is one of the nicest boys Leominster has ever sent us, and this is the reason: he is quiet, unassuming, a good stu- dent, excellent baseball player, and swell classmate. What more could there be worthwhile saying? We certainly will miss Paul, not so much for what he said as for what he stood for among us. ALBERT EDWARD ROY Al, wholesome and jolly, is very careful to conceal his wealth of humor during class hours. He glides noiselessly from first hour to seventh with never the slightest annoyance to any of the faculty. In addition we understand that he can cook to perfection—a vital requisite in his favor as a future Ife partner. ALDEN HENRY SECTOR Alden has throughout high school been distinctly a gen- tleman. At all our gatherings he has been conspicuous for a restrained, modulated “savoir faire’, and in his perform- ances at the Debating Club this year we found a hidden talent unearthed. Maybe the law profession will benefit by Alden’s talent in the forensic line. EDWARD FRANCIS SHEA A student councilor may have many worries, but in Ed- die’s case, the burden fails to still the yen for fun. During two years he has made himself indispensable in the football team; and what Brook’s Drug Store will do without him, if he joins the Navy, is hard to tell. We hope you will stay around, Ed, and let us catch a glimpse of you now and then. ROBERT OWEN SMITH Bob, jovial, buoyant, and serious at times has companioned with us since junior year. Nothing in the world could make him change his mind after he was installed as a Bernardian. Now, that the parting has come he is dismayed in having to face the future without us. Keep f lashing your disarming smile, Bob, and you'll find you're all right with the world. No sy Bernardiai

PBEM REAR ESS SALVATORE ANTHONY VIGGIANO Sal has often proved himself a friend in need. Being en- dowed with an unusual amount of good common sense he studies at the right time, then comes prepared to meet the fray; while we with our easy-going neglect have to beg him for a lift on the way. His highlights include typing and playing the trumpet for with the latter he was one of the main props of our orchestra. THOMAS JOHN WONG The third of our illustrious class cartoonists, and one with his feet already firmly planted on the ladder of success; for you see, Tom is even now employed by our local paper in cartoon illustrations. We thank Tommy for his splendid service for our “Blue and Gold’, and also for his fine sketches in our year book. May the years bring a still greater host of friends and admirers. EUNICE MARGUERITE ANDERSON Eunice’s brown eyes and hair have become a familiar sight to all patronizing the school lunch counter. In her quiet way she has won a special place in the hearts of ail her classmates. The ability she displays in the Physics class has been the wonder of all present. We, her classmates, wish her the best of happiness and success as she joins the rank of the alumni. RHEA YVONNE ARCHAMBAULT Hobbies are fine when they complement one another, and we suppose that is why Rhea chose reading and cookies. Her dark charming beauty ought to make her an attractive sec- retary, while her suave, gentle manners and contagious laughter will undoubtedly produce the ideal hostess. CORNELIA MAY BALLEW With a rippling laugh and a great big smile, Connie greets one and all every morning. Her four years in our midst has never failed to find her in the top ranks of schol- astic achievement. As Connie leaves us, we send with her our best wishes for happiness and success in the future. Keep smiling, Connie. eum Peridrdian
