VINCENT JAMES LAUTIZI Vinnie’s hearty greeting sets you on the right road every morning at 8:12. With an energetic step, he invaded the home room bringing a world of light and sunshine. An excellent student he served as president of the Italian Club, and was an active member in dramatics, where he climaxed his career as a great deputy sheriff. JOHN HENRY LEBLANC, JR. John has been friendly and popular right through the years. From the beginning he has taken an active part in all activities, such as winning in the Negative Diocesan Debate, scoring a tremendous success as the ‘mad scientist” in “Second Childhood,” and distinguishing himself in the Advertising Committee of the Bernardian. These accomplish- ments have not dimmed his scholastic attainments, for we know his name was seldom missing from the honor roll. Keep it up, John. PAUL JOSEPH LEBLANC A wholesome bit of Leominster alighted on our way, when “Red’’ decided to join us. First appearances might in- dicate him as the sober type, but a short acquaintance re- veals a flashing smile, subtle sense of humor, dependable, and with a yen for study,—above all mechanical drawing. We like to think of him as one of our Football stars even though an injury sidelined his activity. ALBERT JOHN LEMIEUX Albert, with us in the beginning, left us for Cushing Academy; but pursued with a longing for the old haunts, he came back to us in his senior year. He has always im- pressed us by his pleasant, obliging manners, and sincere friendliness. May you always have luck and happiness, Al. NORMAN ALPHONSE LOISELLE Norman chose the technical course with a definite aim in view. We had a hard time keeping him from becoming our “sailor boy,” as he was over-intensely interested in the navy. Our memories of him take us back to the chemistry experiments of junior year. Oh, that they had continued! Success to you, Norman. 21

JOHN JOSEPH KELLEHER “Goose” is heading for professional sports, and when the light of his star shines on the gridiron and basketball court, there will be news in the sport page of many dailies. He is usually quiet and retiring except for the blissful hours he pals with Michael, when he reveals a spirit of fun and mischief. A great future, Goose. WALTER DAVID KIELTY Wally always friendly and jovial was a great leader of “48, whether it was a question of studies or fun. He piled up a splendid sum in ads, for the Bernardian which helped in keeping our expenses at a low ebb. We often admired his fine dental possessions, and were not surprised when we learned that he won a prize for a composition on “Care of the Teeth.” Keep up the good work, Walter. RALPH JOSEPH LAMBERT Ralph, one of our affable pals from Shirley always has the most contagious smile,—contagious for we all catch a bit of it even during exams. He relishes math, as the rest of us do snickers, and we expect that he will go far in the mathematical field. A courteous, considerate gentleman will always be our remembrance of friendly Ralph. GERARD FRANK LANDGROF Gerard of the Leominster group kept us in good humor daily with his spontaneous laughter. He often did great business for the F. and L. selling his tickets to tardy com-ades. After a trying day it was often a joy to ride homeward, kept happy by the jokes and wits of Ralph. He may be considering professional sports, for we remember well his accurate aim. Best of luck, Gerry. LEO, LOUIS EANDRY Leo is one of our jolly, optimistic athletes. He was an outs.anding halfback on last season’s football squad and was a leading factor in the previous undefeated baseball season. He must be a great lover of languages, as we often saw him beaming with fun in the fifth hour French Class. Keep up the hearty cheer, Leo, for it spells victory. 20

MICHAEL MITCHEL LUNIEWICZ Michael is one of the highlights of the technical course, and likewise, a valuable asset of the football squad. Al- though quiet and retiring he radiates a frank, whole-hearted courteousness which has drawn to him many friends in the class and local club to which he belongs. His definite goal is unknown at present, so we wish him all the luck in the world. FRANCIS JOSEPH McDERMOTT, JR. Francis has always been retiring, serious, and sincere. He revels in Math, and would even slight the modern lang- uages for it if he could. As one of the best-liked boys in the class he departs from our midst with the best wishes of every member of °48. PHILIP JOSEPH MAHONEY The outstanding debonair blond of our class has a friend- ly, pleasant disposition. His favorite subject is English, and his ultimate aim—a pharmacist. Although his hobby is dancing he has been one of the most enthusiastic rooters of sports that the school has had, and his cheering will be greatly missed next year. FRANCIS CHARLES MAKI Frank is a master of dramatic technique and was elected Vice-President of the Dramatic Club senior year. He also served on the executive board of the Radio Club and was President of the Latin Club. In spite of so many activities he was able to maintain an honor rating in studies, which is an indication of a steady mind and a forerunner of future worth. Go to it, Franny. RICHARD BERNARD MALONE Quiet, conservative, a gentleman always, Dick has made many friends at S. B. H. S. His kind thoughtfulness was ever outstanding, and his earnest application to study was something worthy of imitation by any undergraduate. The best of everything for the future, Dick.
