Roland Joseph Leger Roland’s unfailing good humor, clean appearance and sportsman- like qualities, together with all that goes into the making of a sincere friend, merit for him a high rank in our estimation. The team lost a fine quarterback when Rookie sustained an injury, but baseball will give him a chance to shine again. Charles Edward Lord Although Charles is not the type to attract attention to him- self, he has done this uncon- sciously by his flair for math. A sincere friend and classmate, his loyalty, geniality, and ready spirit of helpfulness, can always be de- pended upon, especially in the crucial moments when a fellow needs a friend. Alvin Joseph Legere Alvin, another indispensable in the Shirley trio, has the distinc- tion of being the youngest boy among us '49-ers. Diminutive in stature, Alvin is great in deeds and in his propensity to make friends. The yearbook advertis- ing committee knows Alvin has that tenacity of purpose which attains success. Henry Alphonse Lortie Fair Leominster made no mis- take in sending us Henry, an- other fine representative. General- ly an early arrival, he serenely settles down for the day’s tasks and does a good job. But from beginning to end, Henry enjoys himself and makes life pleasanter for everyone by his cheerfulness and cogperation. Charles John Levesque Charlie with his genial grin and hearty welcome makes every- one feel right at ease in his com- pany. Smoky’s abundant wit en- ables him to make the most of a humorous situation. As a foot- ball player, Charlie made a great showing, especially in the F. H. S. tilt, and is one of the North Worcester County All Stars. Douglas Hugh MacFarlane Not until senior year did we make the acquaintance of this blue-eyed, likeable laddie from Canada. But Douglas was not long with us, when we became aware of his friendliness, modest personality, and very generous nature. College and a pre-dental course is the goal Douglas has set for himself.

Donald Anthony Lambert Don, of the famous Shirley senior trio, is a good advertise- ment for his native heath. Al- though engaging in many school activities, Don prefers to remain quietly in the background as far as speech is concerned, but does not hesitate to voice his convic- tions valiantly and prove his point, when necessary. Roland Joseph LeBlanc Roland doesn’t believe in win- ning friends by resorting to words or flattery, for he’s a thrif- ty man where speech is concerned. But he’s a square-shooter and we admire him for his sincerity. His gentlemanly manner, even dispo- sition, and thoughtfulness for others have made him a boy without enemies. a ‘ Robert Rocco Lastella Bob is the personification of neatness in dress, habits, and in all that he does, especially his very legible, uniform penmanship. As an accountant, Bob’s books will be masterpieces. His genuine manliness, warmth of personality, and facility for acquiring friends are but a few of Bob's good points. Camille Armand Leger Camille, curly ie ppos- sessor of the vefy lates in fate, when, sweaters, is tl rht a in the center of a | i eu thas his serious S imself to study, rKsome at t enthu- orts, especially Edmond Louis LeBlanc Edmond, our Paderewski of '49 has added much to the glory of our illustrious class by his re- markable musical talent. Not only is he a proficient pianist, but already at his tender age, is out- standing as church organist. Ju- nior-Senior Reception opened our eyes to the unassuming genius in our midst.

i Uy Adelard Joseph Marcoux Prominent among the Bernar- dian commuters alighting faith- fully each morning from the Leo- minster Express is Ditto. Quietly and resolutely, he treads the path of learning, radiating happiness by his wholesome geniality and even disposition. Baseball and skiing are two of Ditto’s favorite sports. Robert Stuart McDermott Robert will linger in memory as an amiable, unselfish, and gen- tlemanly friend. Add to this a sense of humor and we have the reason why Robert has so many friends who always have a good word for him. Bob has been an active member of the Dramatic Club and a capable worker on the yearbook advertising com- mittee. Anthony Joseph Marrama One of our fortunate seniors whose arrival each morning is heralded by the toot of his car, is Tony, one of our cheerful class wits. Tinkering around said car gives much enjoyment to our clever mechanic. Science is Tony’s pet subject but he won't rest satisfied until he has improved on present theory. , f , George Joseph McManus South Siders and East Siders have been extolled, and now we present, George, a fine represen- tative and valiant champion of the wonderful West Side. Per- haps his perpetual smile, gener- ous nature, and gentlemanly con- sideration for others, explains George's constantly increasing coterie of steadfast friends. Eugene Michael Mason Buddy is no misnomer when applied to our Eugene, for he is all that this colloquialism con- notes—a companion who is a real pal, and one who is never morose or surly, even when jokes are being played on him. Eugene is one of our most brilliant seniors who just glories in the hardest math and chemistry. Thomas Patrick McMurray Energetic Mac, our most popu- lar president, has made himself so well liked by everybody be- cause of his cheerfulness, wit, and happy propensity of always having a good word to say about everyone. Our Senator has been a big success as actor, public speaker, announcer, Junior Rotar- ian, and all-round athlete. “Suck 7 a7 . ee oe a
