ROBERT THOMAS DENOMME Robert joined our class junior year, enriching the honor roll with one more Bernardian. He is ever on the alert to uphold the honor of the southside, being ably assisted by a score or more in the noble work. His ultimate aim is an A.B. degree, in the striving for which we wish him every success. EUGENE JOSEPH DRISCOLL Gene more than proved his gridiron mettle senior year. For three years he kept the basketball court running at high tension, often dropping the deciding basket in our favor. Around school he is a friendly, sociable pal with the kindest smile, and most obliging way. In the years to come when far apart we will always remember the happy days spent with our friendly, genial Gene. FRANCIS EUG ENE DUFOUR Since Francis came to us junior year he has grown stead- ily in our esteem. Perhaps it is his shy, retiring disposi- tion that has won us; or rather we like to think it is his sterling worth that shines through the dark luster of eyes. Whatever the cause, he has our unbounded affection, and will continue to hold it all through the years. GEORGE ANDREW DUFOUR George is one of our favorite sons from Cleghorn. He has a most bewitching smile, that often warded off a threatening session. He is a thorough sportsman,—swift on skates, peerless with the saxophone, accurate in deer hunting, and superior in swimming ability. All through, he has succeeded in making our class periods memories for future years. Good luck, George. JOHN JOSEPH FENNO Tall, and good looking Jack brings to us the undefinable spirit of West Fitchburg—vibrant, persuasive, but withal reserved and shy. We know that he is a drummer of merit like his brother Dick, although he likes to avoid applause and public acclaim. For four years he has pursued the technical course, and has his mind set on mechanical engineering. Best wishes for every success, Jack. U7

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

ARTHUR ROBERT FOREST Bob, a fine quarter-back, led the team through a good season. You couldn't find a better friend anywhere, as he has the knack of fitting right into every occasion in ‘the desired manner. Ask him why he took his football suit home one day, and wow! What sharp, red, basketball togs he used to wear! CHARLES MARTIN GIONET Who would think that quiet, retiring Charlie had the reputation of being a good boxer? Much credit is his due for coming daily from Shirley with very few absent marks chalked against him. Here at school he had always been a likable chap with a ready smile, and willingness to be of service at all times. The best of everything, Charlie! MARCEL JOSEPH GIONET Marcel’s quiet manner made a lasting impression on us from the very first day he came in junior year. We had only to watch him at fourth hour study. In orderly fashion he settled down to work immediately while most of us were flustering about for some minutes. We see a career wrought efficiently ahead for Marcel and we hope he will enjoy every hour of it. JOSEPH BERNARD GOGUEN Joe, our trumpeter in the orchestra, has the girls stark envious of his dark, curly locks. He dwells in the heart of our metropolis, bringing glory to that loved section by the reputation he has built up of being tops on manners. When he is not studiously engaged in school work he is efficiently laboring in the self-service department at Brockel- man’s. Best of luck, Joe. LAURIE EMILE, HACHEY Laurie comes from Cleghorn which he thinks is great, and we second the motion for it is. He possesses the usual Cleghorn trait of taste for “sharp” clothes, and also the enthusiasm for all sports. Energetic and steady, Laurie, has revealed a taste for real work, and will no doubt, be a future glory to his Alma Mater. 18
