John Edward McNally Ed travels no long road to St. Bernard's as one jump over the portable fence and he’s almost reached destination. Capable, sin- cere, friendly, all this and more we could find to praise in Ed, who is one of our fine football players, but at the same time very modest about this and his other achievements. iscovering new in- As presi- ergil Club and co- our yearbook, his spirit ooperation was always in evidence.’ Baseball and skiing are the predominant sports. A pre-medical course is Art's next step. Richard Vincent McNamara Ziggy has been a center of at- traction ever since freshman days, especially for his prowess as an athlete. Autumn, winter, spring come and go and find Ziggy star- ring in football, basketball, and baseball. Of the three, basketball is his favorite, and we will re- member Richard as an exception- ally fine guard. Norman Edward Nadeau Norman has distinguished him- self as an active member of St. Joseph's Drum Corps and as a fine football and basketball player. Around school Norman mixes in well with all groups and con- tributes to the fun and friendly spirit, especially at recess. We hope Norman continues his pre- sent interest in pharmacy. a ae 19 N Onn Norman Joseph Messier Stalwart Joe is another Cleg- horner who is high in popularity, partly because of his sociable, friendly ways, and partly because of his athletic ability. For three years he played varsity football and was one of the spark plugs on the team. But in victory or defeat, unpretentious Joe. still bore his radiant smile. John Joseph O'Connell John is better known as Okie to his best friends who, by the way, are a numerous group never stingy in their encomiums of this tall, well-built, and neatly-dressed senior. Keen intellectually, John at times amazes us by his flashes of genius. Football and especial- ly baseball are his chosen sports.

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

Herbert John O’Connor Herb, with personality and ani- mated spirits that are a good match for his huge frame, is one of our gridiron stalwarts, who also. distinguishes himself at basketball. A crooner from way back, he always has a song which often bursts spontaneously from him. We hope it’s college and more football for Herb. Robert George Pelletier Even one cursory glance at Bob's cheerful face, and you can’t help but sense the genuine friend- liness of this fine Bernardian. On the S. B. H. S. football eleven, Bob made an excellent linesman. Interested in all sports, skiing and skating are the two prominent hobbies in which Bob gets most fun. Joseph William O’Toole We're glad Joe decided to come to us in sophomore year, for his genial affability has con- tributed much to class happiness. Always friendly and courteous, Joe fits in well with any crowd, and does his bit as proven by his willingness to assume the labors of co-editor of the Bernardian and work for its success. Norman Paul Provencher We owe a debt of gratitude to Pro for keeping us in good humor by his witty remarks and con- tagious. laughter, -which have smoothed out many a bump and made our school days together pleasanter. As sea Ge Gar se an finds Pro poe ‘ipating in his, favorite sports -football, baskétball,, bas€ball.. J ier ie ae 4 24 2. Michael Joseph Pandiscio Just why Michael should be nicknamed Hermit is a mystery to us, for he’s anything but the type of person to seek solitude and shun the society of man. He’s most sociable and companionable, mixing in admirably with every- body. Mike has the reputation of being a fine basketball player, and sports enthusiast. Patsy Paul Quatrale Although Patsy is far from having a “‘lean and hungry look,’ he is light of heart and constant- ly gives us the benefit of his sunny disposition by warm dif- fusions of neighborly good cheer. An industrious pursuer of the technical course, yet Patsy gives his spare time to sports, and faithfully follows the teams.
