Robert George Raboin Bob makes a fine first impres- sion, and one is not mistaken in judging him to be very friendly, of a pleasing disposition, cour- teous, considerate, and co-opera- tive. Bob was a starring right half-back until a leg injury de- prived the team of a fine player, and Bob himself of much enjoy- ment in his favorite sport. Jeremiah Bernard Sullivan Who can resist Jerry's per- petual smile and magnetic per- sonality? Senior boys of '46 took freshman Jerry under their pa- ternal wing, but the attention showered upon him then and since has not affected him. A great East Side team star, Jerry is famous also for his sports write-ups in the Blue and Gold. Philip Oliva Richard Phil is one of our energetic senior live wires, happiest when he is in action and mingling now with this group, and now with that, for everybody is his friend. We can vouch for it that there are no ‘blue Mondays’ when this sunbeam is around. Philip is a great authority on football and baseball. Thomas Martin Sullivan Sully was a most welcome ad- dition to our ranks in the fall of ‘49 and our capital stock went up with Tommy as an acquired asset. What is lacking in alti- tude is abundantly supplied for by a very broad smile, loads of friendliness, and personality plus. No wonder his arrival made the South Side boys POE go (LV Fo ve Norman Girard Sarasin Sudsy as a nickname for our neat, well-dressed Norman doesn't seem to measure up to the dig- nity of this worthy senior. We remember Norm an as an excellent student councilor in sophomore yeat, as an outstanding chemistry student in junior year, and for many friendly services through- out the four years. Roger Edward Touchette Roger is another of our ’49- ers who like young Lochinvar of old, comes riding out of the west, bright and early every morning, to be one of our first arrivals at - S. B. H. S. But matutinal rising Py) agrees with wide-awake Rogeré® Cr

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.

— Harvey Daniel Tousignant Tall, blond Harvey is always good company in any group. He has demonstrated his dramatic ability in many performances, but we enjoyed most his clever impersonation in “The Arrival of Kitty,” and his schoolboy role in “Swing Fever.” Although artis- tically inclined, Harvey looks forward to the medical profession. Henry Wood Well-dressed, gentlemanly Hank, although seemingly quiet and un- obtrusive, has made himself a favorite by his friendliness. The yearbook advertising committee appreciates his efforts in solicit- ing. Although interested in all sports, baseball and bowling oc- cupy first place. School of phar- macy is his next step. Vy ae ; 9 Gerald Carmen Volpe Gerry, always modest and un- assuming, attracted our attention even from the beginning of fresh- man days, by his strong manly character and high scholastic rat- ing. Gerald’s leadership qualities, efficiency, and unstinting giving of himself and time accounts for a school orchestra of which we may be justly proud. Claire June Anderson Claire, with her cheery man- ner, has such ability that she is known to many of us as Genius. Frequently she goes “Far from the Madding Crowd” to seek the solitude of camp life and fishing. Future plans are still undecided, but if it should be the business world, we know Claire will be an ideal secretary. H s ' Robert Wilfred Vowles Popular Bob, carefree and al- ways sociable, possessor of a dy- namic voice and extensive vocab- ulary, boasts striking red hair which vividly broadcasts his loyal, stimulating presence at various school activities. But it is in the thespian art that Bob excels and we are gratefully indebted to him for many laughs. Doris Mary Arsenault A slender brunette with a dig- nified and reserved manner— that’s how Doris first impresses strangers. But we who know her well have experienced the warmth and charm of her friendship, and know the zest and enthusiasm put into all she does. Haven't you often heard Dot's energetic cheer- ing at school games ?
