JOHN ROBERT SULLIVAN Athletically inclined, Jack has shown his ability in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. Although unassuming and retiring, Sull had to pay dearly for his popularity by being besieged by adoring autograph seekers. Always on time, Sull is practically the only one from Nashua Street area not running to make the last bell. RICHARD FRANCIS TUCKER How the prestige of the top-of-the-world South side would suffer if Dick departed from its midst! For he’s also a whiz when it comes to battling with studies, especially math, always emerging with the coveted A. But Dick gives no evidence of such erudition, as he serenely and smilingly wends his way among us. GEORGE WALTER VALLEE Outstanding in George, domiciling in fair Leominster, 1s his sincerity and his readiness to offer a helping hand. Possessor of an unselfish spirit and fine gentlemanly traits, he is never aggressive nor quarrelsome but always a fine wholesome comrade, mixing in well in any coterie. Baseball is his sport. GABRIEL RAYMOND VEZINA Gabe’s traveling to SBHS every morning on the French Hill bus seems to have an invigorating effect on his natur- ally energetic and affable disposition, for all day long, he is alert, wide-awake, and smilingly conscious of all that is going on. A fine friend and athlete, we know that Gabe will be successful. GRACE NORMA ANDREWS Smiles, energy, dancing eyes, happiness—these we have in Gracie, a fine Leominsterite with a million friends and a heart of gold, the girl who will go places and will do everything with fine spirit. This bundle of laughter is is found early every morning on our main corridor start- ing us off in good style. 29

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

ELAINE TERESA ATKINSON Elaine has absorbed the sunshine and exhilarating atmos- phere of her South side summits, so that we always find her cheerful, carefree, and optimistic. Literature, especially poetry, and drawing are the subjects that appeal. Elaine has been active in dramatics and in loyally supporting Ber- nardian teams. CECILE MARY BABINEAU Little Cecile is never boisterous nor one who selfishly monopolizes the conversation. But in her own quiet, refined way, she adds her share to the good time of any circle by her congeniality and timely well-chosen remarks. Cecile creates a favorable impression by her tidiness and good taste in dress. CONSTANCE BERTHA BARRETTE If smiles were paid for in money, Constance would surely be one of our millionaires. Small, dainty, spotlessly groomed, Connie will be remembered not only for these exterior qualities, but also for her humorous sallies and lively companionship. Connie surely has the qualifications demanded for an air hostess. DOLORES MARGARET BARRIEAU Dolores, the smallest of our Shirleyites, is an excellent student and intelligently capable in all she does. But she moves unaffectedly among us with no superior airs but just the best friend one could ever have, always jovial and helpful. How Lorraine’s fingers can make the typewriter keys rapidly click! DOROTHY DOMETHILDA BASTARACHE Dot is one of our quick-thinking, brilliant seniors, who knows how to get the most out of study and fun. We're glad she finds it easy to smile as it shows up her sweet little dimples all the more. We can always depend upon Dot to be straightforward in all she says, even when it takes much courage to do it. 30
