x ‘ Tl : ; ue VY in 3h - A Edith Ann Donelle Edith, with her quiet, dignified demeanor and gracious reserve, 1s every inch a lady. But under- neath a poised exterior lies a good sense of humor and fun. Always neat in her work and ap- pearance, Edith is a smart dresser. She excels in sports as well as in studies, and is considering a medical career. Claire Marie Dufresne Duff, with her blue eyes and dimples, is our attractive, well- beloved vice-president. Everybody is her buddy, and as she is al- ways bubbling over with joy, we have no dull moments in her company. One of her hobbies is the collecting of the latest jokes. Nursing is the choice of our Duff with her personality plus. te J, Gloria Olive Dower Gloria, a very petite member of our class has stolen a big place in our hearts by her win- someness and simplicity of speech and manner. Her loyalty and splendid school spirit is evi- denced by her regular attendance at Bernardian games. As a nurse, Glo will continue to make life pleasanter for those about her. f Gertrude Irene Edwards A smile, a cheery hello, a sparkling personality, a good stu- dent, and there you have Trudy, who is happiest when in the midst of some school activity, doing her utmost to make it a success, whether it be the Blue and Gold, yearbook, dramatics, French Club, Latin Club vice- president, athletics, socials. PADS LS Or Florence May Ducharme Tall, slender, energetic, and enthusiastic —— that’s Florence, whose congenial nature has made her a general favorite. We see Flo at her best during lunch period, when her joviality makes it a merry period. Stamp collect- ing is one of her hobbies. Her pleasing personality and high grades assure secretarial success. Maureen Agnes Flynn Hear that friendly “Hi”! That's Maurie, a brown-haired, bright- eyed lassie, with everyone for her friend. Her lovely voice has been heard to advantage in the Glee Club, Girls’ Choir, and dramatics. We expect some day to have a copy of Flynn’s “Book of Eti- quette,’ for Maureen’s perfect manners are proverbial.

Joanne Barbara Curtis Dancing, friendly eyes and ir- risistible charm are part of the make-up of our Joanne. Her sin- cere and rather shy, unassuming manner has won for her a choice place in our hearts, for we know she is true blue when it comes to friendship. Although fun-lov- ing, Joanne balances study and yo in a most favorable way. ) ) Constance Theresa DeLisle With a rippling laugh and a great big smile, Connie greets us every morning. Modest and retiring, her appearance, poise, and voice always bespeak e f- ficiency and refinement. Connie has not only done fine work in studies, but has also ably de- monstrated her dramatic ability in the Christmas and Senior class play. Charleen Mary Dahlin Charleen and Jeannette are our Damon and Pythias of the West. Where you find one, you'll find the other. Charleen is al- ways affable and gracious, and so cooperative and efficient, as demonstrated in her willingness to work and do more than her share on the yearbook. Swimming is the sport she likes best. Lucille Yvonne Desaulniers The girl with the happy, smil- ing, dancing eyes is no cther than our friendly Lucille, secretary of the French Club. She has moved among us day after day, and we are pleased to report that we have never seen thase sparkling eyes, dull or lowering.

F Ly r Barbara Ann DeBonville Barb typifies the well-known saying that good things come in small packages. A dynamo of en- ergy, she dances, bowls, skates to perfection and shows great vim in supporting Bernardian contests. Barb’s innate sense of what constitutes good taste in dress will favor her career as a fashion designer. Therese Lena Dignard That tall blonde is our Terry; another famous senior from Leo- minster, who dispenses general good will wherever she goes. Terry has a variety of interests and is always right at home with the world. A great lover of mu- sic, she plays classical and popu- lar selections remarkably well and is also a great sports fan.

Barbara Dolores Forest Barb, with the friendly smile, amiable disposition, and pearly white teeth, comes to us from Whalom. All during the day her sunny disposition is as good a tonic as a day spent at her near- by lake. Barbara’s nimble feet are often found gliding gracefully over the dance-hall floor or rol- ler-skating rink. Doris Mary Gagnon Meet Doris, the other friendly half of the famous Gagnon twins, who so. skillfully manages to maintain that happy medium in her school life—a time for work and a time for play. Doris is ac- tive in many sports but swim- ming is her forte, and football, the game she follows with the keenest interest, and enjoyment. Pauline Cora Forest To her best friends, Pauline is known as Bushes, although her tall, dignified bearing would rath- er suggest a stately pine of the forest. We will always remember Pauline for her contagious, spon- taneous laughter and spirit of fun, for her zest and vigor as a football rooter, and as an expert roller skater. know that popu- has been in the ol activities since H.

Our football games wouldn't be complete without her enthusiastic cheering help.
