John Bernard Enright Jack's successive positions on the Blue and Gold—feature writ- er, sports editor, and co-editor, brought our literary genius of ‘49 into prominence, But this unassuming, slender chap with a humorous twinkle in his eye is unaware that he can coin at will ten-dollar words to every one of our ten-cent variety. ‘dward Bernard Flynn Tall, affable, energetic Eddie is every inch a man, and true blue, A good student, a jovial wcere friend, a man of his word hese but partly explain efh- ‘nt Ed's popularity and our hoice of him tor Representative. or of owe yearbook, Eddie neither timy nor effort to ay Robert Finneron Robert is one of the lucky few to whom studies offer little dif- ficulty, as demonstrated by his high scholastic record. To his credit, Bob never assumed a superior air, but always remained a modest, congenial chap. As Treasurer of the Debating Club and as an active debater, Robert did a fine piece of work, Roger Paul Fontaine Chuck, mild-tempered and prominent in many activities, is a specialist in football and in the art of making and keeping friends. He has the distinctive honor of being the first Bernard- ian chosen as a member of the Worcester County All Stars, and has also been giv honorable mention on tl s. VXI aay Aearny g . . “ George Eugene Fluet George is a Bernardian about whom we can’t say enough con- cerning his admirable, - friendly traits. He certainly deserves the title “Amicus,” as we know from experience. Fortunate possessor of a never-failing sense Of humor, likeable George is just’ the fel- low to have around when the go- ing looks tough. Albert Whitfield Ganong Al travels a long road from Ayer to come to us every day, but it apparently hasn't impaired his habitual good nature and vi- tality any, for he’s always full of pep and ready for fun all day long. Although a newcomer in junior year, it didn’t take Albert long to become acclimated and make steadfast friends.

William Henry Dolan Although popular Bill estab- lished himself as a fine gridiron tackle, he still remained the same unassuming, friendly fellow out- standing for his sincerity and loyalty. As Room 31 administra- tor, and as co-manager of the yearbook advertising committee, Bill ably demonstrated his un- usual executive ability. James Joseph Donelan Everyone knows Coach, our tall, powerful senior, the cheer- ful fellow with all the jokes, and a great sense of humor. Jim is an ardent sports’ fan and a loyal supporter of the Saints. He has been an active student participat- ing in many events. During lunch period Jim’s forensic ability is at its best. Robert Edward Dumont No matter when we look Bob’s way, his face always expresses his cheerful disposition, sunny smile, and unchangeable good nature. Bob’s popularity was further in- creased by his fine work on the football squad. Room 31 vouches for the fact that Bob is most re- liable, cooperative, and highly efficient. 2 George Richard Dunn In tall, lanky George we have a happy-go-lucky schoolmate, who has no enemies because he is never antagonistic or disagree- able. He takes a loyal interest in everything that happens about school and lends his assistance in various activities to which he gives his staunch, wholehearted support. Pay y yr Neil Richard Driscoll Neil, one of our few real blonds, is a general favorite who not only enjoys himself but sees to it that others are brought into the fun. Possessing a good whole- some sense of humor himself, he appreciates this quality in others as his hearty laugh testifies. Neil is another one of our really good football players. Robert Armand Duval Through four happy years, we have enjoyed the pleasant com- radeship of dashing, debonair Bob. His clean-cut appearance, black wavy hair, and endless sup- ply of sharp ties are our pride and joy. Mechanical Drawing is the class where Bob is a shining light, which speaks well for a career as draftsman. Lrady of lncle and— YW ila Me Se eu

David Roy Ganong Dave, Al's little angel-face brother, is not only a mathemati- cal whiz, but also an all-round good student. But Dave always finds time to enjoy life to the fullest and add to the merriment of a jolly group. As manager of the basketball team, his unflag- ging interest and energy accoun- ted for his success. George Douglas Ide As we depart from St. Ber- nard’s, we will carry away with us very pleasant recollections of this fine friend, faithful helpmate, and athlete, who has won for himself a big place in our hearts. Doug could always be depended upon to be right there on the gridiron and basketball court do- ing his level best. Robert Layden Halstead Sophomore year brought us six- foot Bob. We soon realized that his friendliness, amiability, and gentlemanly conduct accorded well with his lofty stature. Bob is one of our best basketball players having been on the team for three years. Bob shines also at baseball, and pitches many a game of excellent ball. Ralph Edward Jena Ralph, or just plain Al, to his intimate friends, although a man of few words, makes up for his paucity of speech by the bigness of his manly heart and generous nature. Biology is the subject that has a big appeal for Ralph, and the sureness of his recitations evokes the silent joy of fellow biologists. 15 Robert James Harrington Smiling Harry adds luster to our coterie of East Siders. In addition to this cheery smile and merry twinkle of the eye, Bob has such a sense of humor that the wittiest of Erin’s sons might well envy him. When not playing his favorite sport, basketball, Bob en- thusiastically lends his support as a rooter. Emile Gerard LaFosse Even after a short acquaintance with Emile, it is apparent that his nickname Nemo is a mis- nomer, for he is one of those strong, manly characters posses- sing sterling qualities. By main- taining a proper balance between duty and pleasure, Emile is a fine student and a friend of the tried- and-true variety. La at yay, | A y, Lotter Ke a spl? =
