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.

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

RICHARD FREDERICK MANNING Dick joined our ranks senior year, and since his coming has been most popular in all quarters. He became a mem- ber of the Dramatic and Radio Clubs, and made himself famous by his portrayal of the judge in “The Second Child- hood.” An excellent student, he ought to go far in the college work he intends to take up. URO HARRY MARBLE Harry is a distinguished classical student from Room 31, a neat dresser, and a true gentleman. He towers in height, as well as in character and learning, so that St. Bernard’s is proud to call him her own, and will be more proud in the future when he will have attained his final goal. ROLAND JOSEPH MARCOTTE Roland, since his arrival last year at St. Bernard’s, has impressed us most by his quiet reserve. The neatness of his apparet bordering almost on the fastidious gave a clear indication of an orderly, idealistic mind. When Roland's goal of achievement is proclaimed, we know it will be worthy of the greatest admiration. ‘ FRANCIS ROBERT MARTIN “Boogie,” our tall, slender athlete from Sterling, did much to bolster the renown of our basketball and football teams. Outstripping the tallest members of the class by a good margin, he had no difficulty in making baskets from December to March, hence our enviable basketball season. After graduation, we expect to hear that “Boogie” is going places in the sports world, and we'll continue to cheer him all the way. PETER JOSEPH MELLIT Peter, with the flashing smile, did a very fine piece of work on the gridiron, junior and senior years. We can never forget his curly hair, snappy answers, delightful com- panionship. His occasional tardiness for classes must have been a saving of speed for lunch time, for we think that then he could have even defeated an arrow. Keep up the quest, Peter, for the worthwhile in life, and we will try to keep up with you. No We
