ROBERT JOHN BRUNEAU The Coast Guard will heartily welcome Bob when he passes from our midst into the sombre ranks of that guardian of our shores. Quiet, and almost shy, he, never- theless, piled up an enviable score in studies. For four years, he was our pride and joy in baseball, and during senior year, he enriched the gridiron with his mettle. Continue the good work, Bob, and we will continue to cheer. ANTHONY ANDREW CALAMARE Anthony is the personification of neatness. He glides silently into class, never disturbs the equanimity and emerges the possessor of much knowledge which the rest of us had passed up through our inattention and levity. We often ad- mired his nifty clothes, especially his colorful ties, but now that we are about to part we admire all the more, the worthy youth who wears them. RICHARD JOSEPH CAMPBELL “Soup” is one of our universal favorites. You may think it is because of the delicious aroma his nickname suggests but no; it is because he is simply a friendly, pleasant pal, with the most delightful sense of humor. His tall, lithe frame was invaluable in basketball, and often made specta- cular runs for the glory of the gridiron. May the name and the fame be ever the same “Soup.” GERALD BROOKS CASHMAN Gerry's cheery smile and enviable dark, curly hair, caused often a flutter in feminine circles. Why he fre- quently traveled in the direction of Leominster was a baff- ling question—but then, why press the matter. His interest in lessons and daily talks about books clearly indicated a college bend. Best of campus luck, Gerry. FRANCIS PAUL COLECCHI Francis, a Leominster product, delights himself and everyone else with his favorite sport—fishing. That ac- counts, no doubt, for his quiet attention in class, and also for his skill in mending the broken articles in homeroom. When Franny becomes that conservation officer he has in mind, many of us will have to watch our step. Good luck, Franny. 15

ROBERT HENRY BERUBE Bob, our pal with the million-dollar smile must have counted his senior winter season the best of his life. The reason is that his favorite pastime is skiing as well as skat- ing. What he does the rest of the year we will have to investigate after graduation; for up to this time he is known to us in general as “the friendly, popular Bob’— the skier and skating enthusiast. ALFRED JOSEPH BISOL Alfred’s good nature is a byword among the seniors. His daily occupation after school does not reveal a too lively interest in the horticultural field; but we sincerely hope Al will follow up that profession which has not only enriched this vicinity but the country at large. Orchids to you, Al, in the floral production world. GERARD ROBERT BOURGAULT Gerry is a regular all-round friendly pal who would never pass up the mechanical drawing class, not even for an assembly. Since the technical course has been his choice all through we expect that our favorite ice-skater will turn out a first class draftsman. Best of everything, Gerry. GERARD ROLAND BOURQUE A French Shamrock with a smile for everyone, Gerry won renown on the baseball diamond. In fact, St. Bernard’s would have often been lost without him. In the classes, too, he was outstanding, for he faithfully collected attend- ance slips daily the sixth hour. Here’s to evety success in life, Gerry. LEO CHARLES BRISSETTE An all-American award ought to be given Charles for his fidelity in following the sports news of football and basket- ball. Not only the ‘Sentinel’ receives its due attention on page eigh t everyday, but the Worcester and Boston papers as well. Keep it up Leo, even when you are a busy busi- ness administrator. 14

HERBERT FRANCIS CONGRAM Herbie, one of the highlights of Room 31 fought vic- toriously many a forensic battle in senior year. His dra- matic skill was of no mean order as proved in his per- formance of Peter in “The Redemption Play.’’ Winter sports especially attracted him, but could in no way cause a neglect in his studies. Success will be the reward of such fidelity, Herb. MARTIN JOSEPH CRAFFEY Marty is a good advertisement for youth, health, en- thusiasm, in a word a true Bernardian and a hundred per- cent American. If you don’t think so, just see the gusto with which he migrates to the lunch room at recess. His hearty laugh, heard then and at other times, too, is but a further affirmation of all that we have said. Best of everything, Marty. ALFRED HENRY CRAITE We thank Alfred for all he did as editor-in-chief of the Bernardian. Throughout high school he has stood out as a high honor student, possessing particular excellence in bookkeeping. Although active in dramatics he found time for lessons always, and never neglected his sense of humor nor his reputation as a smooth dresser. Good luck, Al. LEON ALOYSIUS DAVID Leon does not measure six feet one, but neither does he, because of this, upset the elements to seek applause. He is most genuinely quiet, retiring, but very likable. His favorite sport is baseball,—second base, and how he runs! Continue the race, Leon, we're all there to cheer. JOSEPH HENRY DeCICCO Joe’s silent, unassuming exterior is not entirely Joe; for there is another side to him which embodies a most de- lightful humor, and zest for fun and mischief. If you don’t think so, just watch him and cousin Fran at recess and other odd moments. An earnest student and loyal supporter of all things Bernardian, we will look for a continuance of his interest in Alma Mater long after his graduation. 16
