SALVATORE JOSEPH ALBERT Musical Sammy has been in the foreground even back in portable days, when his sax harmoniously blended its tones with the rest of our orchestra. It is also to energetic Sam's credit that he did his best to lead our teams along the road to victory during his three years as manager of major sports. NORMAN WILLIAM BATES Extremely well-liked Norm is one of our best all-round athletes. But it is on the basketball court that he shines most, having been on the varsity squad since sophomore year. Norm also distinguishes himself on the baseball dia- mond. The prospects also look bright for his becoming a future tennis champ. ADRIEN ARTHUR BEAUDETTE There is nothing small about good-natured Zippy either in his size, generosity, or friendliness. Always a dispenser of good cheer, he even makes the kiddies happy with his toy shop. In his leisure moments, he finds enjoyment in playing ball, hunting, fishing, and making old cars quite peppy again. LEON SIMEON BEDARD For two years Lee has been a conspicuous figure on the gridiron. That he also has dramatic ability was proven by our November play. Although never pushing himself for- ward, Leon is a familiar figure in groups enjoying them- selves immensely. He is also a fine skiier, swimmer, and electrical wizard. FRANCIS NICHOLAS BELLAFIORI Gentlemanly Frank has no enemies for he never antagon- izes anyone, but is always unselfishly considerate of others. Frank's perseverance and business ability accounted for his success on the yearbook advertising committee. We know that Frank will always be a loyal supporter of everything Bernardian. ies,

Senior Officers RALPH JAMES PUGLIANO The high esteem we all have for Ralph was evidenced by the overwhelming vote we cast for him as our President. A truly ideal leader, Rapug has endeared himself to all by his friendliness and sportsmanship qualities. Ralph ranks high in scholarship, journalism, public speaking, dramatics, and athletics. GLADYS MARY LEBLANC With her bright, blue eyes, gracious manner, and engag- ing smile, Gladys so won our hearts that she was our choice for Vice-President. But this senior honor was fore- seen by her popularity even back in freshman days when she was chosen as student councillor. Furthermore, Glad has always been a fine student. WILLIAM JAMES HANLEY Bill is our popular Class Treasurer. He is also one of the outstanding athletes of our Class of °50, especially at football and basketball, where he could always be depended upon to do his level best. He is also noted for his loyal defense of Tar Hill, and for his almost unbeatable record at a game of chess. ANN MARIE DOYLE Ann, our talented, well-beloved Class Secretary, is a general favorite with everyone. No matter what she is asked to do, Ann always graciously accedes and rises su- perior to any emergency. Ann has been prominent in many school activities, especially plays, radio broadcasting, year- book, and as a spirited rooter. 18

ALFRED ULYSES BELLIVEAU The first look at Al is tremendously in his favor—for his whole general appearance attracts, especially the clean wholesomeness of his personality and neatness of attire. Those who know him best vouch for his powers as a comedian and the real humor of the never corny stories with which he regales his hearers. ALFRED JOSEPH BERGERON Al has the happy faculty of always taking a bright out- look on life and seeing the good points in others, rather than their weaknesses. It is in math and science that Al is at the top, although he would prefer not to attract attention to himself. Track is the sport in which Al revels and excels. PAUL EDWARD BOUDREAU Paul, hailing from Leominster, came to us sophomore year and soon became a favorite. His fun-loving nature is revealed from the mischievous glint in his eyes. Outside school he works off surplus energy in outdoor sports, espe- cially swimming and skiing; and fooling around with radio and television sets. RAYMOND HOWARD BRAY Ray, strikingly tall and a neat dresser, is a welcome pro- ducer of healthy chuckles in his immediate vicinity. He has no idle moments, as he continually keeps occupied with many and varied interests, especially art, for which he has a special aptitude. Ray may yet be our proud boast as a second michelangelo. DAVID BERNARD BRENNAN Dave delayed until sophomore year to make his debut at St. Bernard’s but soon made up for this lost time, by the rapid speed with which he made new friends. Besides being a good student, Dave has been active in the French Club, BERNARDIAN staff, basketball team, and treasurer of the Dramatic Club. 20
