JOHN DOMINIC PAROLIN John’s interest in school work and mental alertness are demonstrated by the intelligence of his questions and his ability to argue his point. His businesslike efficiency explain his success as Editor of the BERNARDIAN. This courteous, well-dressed senior has also been prominent in dramatics and track. CLELIO PIERMARINI A gentleman to the core, Clelio distinguishes himself by his unfeigned good manners and friendly interest in all of us. He is also most sincere and honest. As Clelio is in- terested in flying, it may be aviation school next year. The Italian Colonial Band has also benefited by his fine clarinet playing. ALPHONSE QUARELLA This popular president of the Italian Club is a good stu- dent and a fine friend. Although inclined to be rather reticent, he is nevertheless an interesting and humorous speaker. By nature quick and spirited, this does not affect Al’s thoughtful consideration of others, and his loyal sup- port of St. Bernard’s. ROGER LEO RABOIN Manly, amiable Roger is a general favorite, who deserves special praise for his remarkable record throughout the four years. A high-honor classical student, president of the Dramatic Club, sports writer for the Blue and Gold, Boys’ State representative—briefly, these must suffice to show his fine caliber. JAMES ALFRED REGAN Jim’s friends are high in their praises of this favorite Bernardian who beamingly smiles his way among us with never a shadow of gloom. Humphrey may appear to be quiet and a man of few words, but you'll soon change your mind when you find him surrounded by his pals. Jim is an outstanding football player. 27

THOMAS BROGAN McINERNEY Tom is far from being one of our giants in size, but what may be lacking in height is made up for by his cheerfulness, generosity, and sociability. Although his specs give him a professor-like appearance, they can’t hide the glint of his bright, friendly eyes. Tom has an interesting collection of old coins. JOHN RICHARD MEMBRINO The invigorating, bracing air of the South side heights accounts for John’s high spirits and breezy friendliness. The Southsiders Club would be incomplete without John working for its success, especially as an outstanding pitcher. A rabid baseball fan, John cheered the Pittsburgh Pirates to the bitter end. WILLIAM HAROLD O'CONNOR Bill, our star basketball center and hard-working football player, is also an avid baseball fan. Gentlemanly, neatly- dressed Red, never fails us when it comes to contributing some good story or laughable skit. A good entertainer himself, he manages to get a lot of enjoyment and laughs out of it for himself. JAMES JOSEPH O'MALLEY Jim is another '50 celebrity who shuns the spotlight whenever possible. This highly personable and popular Bernardian is one of SBHS’s most loyal adherents. We will remember him as an excellent classical student, a good thespian, clever Blue and Gold sports writer, BERNARDI- AN worker, and athletic rallier. FRANCIS XAVIER O’NEILL Fran is another worthy son of our sister town Leominster and a welcome addition to SBHS. His sunny countenance evidences his happy disposition and genuine friendliness. Winner at the Leominster Junior Tennis Tournament, who knows but our Fran may one day be a national tennis champ. HG. As is mecca, 26

RAYMOND ADELARD RIVARD Ray is such a fine baseball player that we hope one day to see him on some major league. His ability on the dia- mond is on a par with his pleasant disposition and friendly ways. Although he will never be criticized for being ver- bose, Ray never fails to be sociable and contribute his share in humorous remarks. JOEL JOSEPH ROULEAU Joe comes to us every day from Lunenburg and did not make our acquaintance until junior year. But in this short sojourn with us, he has become one with us in everything. We recall especially the big hit Joe made in the Junior- Senior Reception and as a cheerleader. Joe is quite a musi- cian and an artist. RAYMOND ROBERT ROUSSEAU One reason why Ray is a welcome addition to any happy group is that he not only is able to get a good laugh from others but has a most contagious laugh himself, and if a joke is at his expense, he takes it good-naturedly and with- out offense. Ray is active in most sports but basketball is by far the favorite. LOUIS NICHOLAS SCACHETTI Although Louis waited until junior year to come to us, we all know him to be a welcome addition to the class of 50. Possessor of a very likeable personality and a goodly share of wit, when some merriment is in the offing, we may be sure that Louis will not be in the background but an active participant. LEON SALVATORE SICILIANO We're not exaggerating when we say that Lee has one of the cheeriest dispositions in our class. Who can ever remember seeing him when his step was not buoyant, his head held high, and the sunniest smile brightening up his pleasing countenance? What we like best is his willingness to do a good turn for all. 28
