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

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.

MICHAEL HERBERT MORAND Michael, smooth, sincere, and cheerful had scores of friends in °48 because he seemed to worry little and laugh a great deal. He has a friendly, approachable way about him, that has made him a successful business man outside of school hours, and thus we expect to hear great things from “Morand, Inc.” in the not-far-distant future. LEON ARTHUR NORMANDIN Leon has upheld admirably the family trait of intellectual excellence. He is quiet, retiring, but has a merry twinkle in his eye, especially during the fo urth hour study when he loves to anticipate the true pleasure of lunch hour. We are sure his plans for the future have the same happy out- look, and hope that the reality of them will far outweigh the joy their anticipation. JOHN MICHAEL O'CONNOR “Rusty's” pleasant smile and rare humour puts you always at your ease, and makes you realize that this handsome Ber- nardian of 48 possesses in full measure the much-desired “savoir faire.’ He has been acclaimed a deserving two- year football letterman, and the hope of the seniors is that he will continue the sport when he goes to college. JAMES BRENDAN O’DONNELL The ‘Senator’ by popular vote in our school Brendan won it no doubt because of his friendliness, jolly wit, and cheerfulness. He is the only one of us who stands out as a three lettered man, and deservedly so. Besides sports Brendan has participated in dramatics and public speaking, and was awarded the Fitchburg Exchange Club trophy for outstanding scholarly and athletic ability. Best of luck to a worthy Bernardian—student, athlete, and friend. ROBERT THOMAS PARE Bob possessed a wholesome, carefree, disposition en- hanced by the nicest smile imaginable. He is a lover of joking and spreading good cheer, but once in class applies himself earnestly and sincerely to the work at hand. Hunt- ing and fishing are his special hobbies, and we trust he will continue enjoying them, when he is established as a successful businessman. 24
