hc Saxifrage 422 Water Street KATHERTNE GERTRUDE ROCHE ' A friend to everyone and everyone her friend. Fitchburg, Mass. The responsibility of the J. H. S. IV Class rests heavily upon Katherine ' s shoulders, as she is our president. Many rough places have been made smooth for us by her untiring efforts in our interest. Her executive ability has been shown in all class activities. During her last year Katherine became one of the star debaters of F. N. S., much to the satisfaction and pride of the class. Her lessons are always prepared, and if one has forgotten the assignments, one may be sure Katherine knows it. She is a good teacher and a loyal friend. The class of ' 24 wishes her every success. President J. H. S. IV Class 2, 3, 4; Debating Team; Saxifrage Board. 41 East Street PAUL JOSEPH CORCORAN ' None but himself can be his parallel. Fitchburg, Mass. A brilliant student, a wide reader, an invincible debater, a popular man with both men and girls, and last but not least, the most important member of the J. H. S. IV Class. Each morning we notice a young man striding up the middle drive with his Lord Chesterfield appearance and air, followed by a young man laboring under a load of books, and all the school realizes that Senator Corcoran and his secretary have arrived. The charms and beauty of the co-eds left Paul unscarred for some time, but lately we notice, with pleasure, that he is truly human after all. Paul ' s genius shines when a chance for argument presents itself ; then his legal instinct comes forth and a most interesting ses- sion is promised. Whether you be teacher or lawyer, Paul, the J. H. S. IV Class expects great things of you, and we know we will not be disappointed. Editor-in-Chief of 1924 Saxifrage; Associate Editor 1922; J. H. S. Class Vice-President 2, 3, 4; President of F. N.

Fall River, Mass. During the four years that we have known Jane, we have never found her wanting as a friend. From the time that Student Government was instituted, Jane has given it her loyal support, serving capably as vice-president of the association in ' 23 and house president of Miller in ' 24. The girls have found her just and sympathetic. By her friends she will be remembered for several things, her early rising, her Sh-h-h throughout the corridor of Miller, and her characteristic Oh ! Boy ! on all occasions. Her third year proved her fitness for the profession, and as a mathematician we have yet to find her equal. We are sure that Jane may leave her Alma Mater feeling that she has done her part for its advancement.

Clinton, Mass. Joe hasn ' t been a membe r of the J. H. S. IV Class until this year, but we have found him a valuable addition. He managed the financial affairs of our class well during 1924. Variety seems to be Joe ' s idea of life. He may be found nearly any time in the library or lobby entertaining various members of the fair sex. If not thus engaged, you will find him deep in conversation with Crowley or Haley, deciding on the evening ' s program. When Joe leaves F. N. S., we are sure he will be missed.
