hc Saxifrage CHARLES EVERETT DOHERTY Harrison Street Leominster, Mass. A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. May he always remain so ! One cannot imagine Charlie other- wise. His smiling unconcern in the face of the hardest tasks, and his inimitable and unfailing sense of humor at all times have helped to brighten many of the dark clouds which threatened to envelop us during our voyage across the Sea of Knowledge to the Port of Grad- uation. He is a student, par excellence, chemistry being his special delight ( !?!) and he is also an athlete of note, as was shown in the famous Faculty vs. Grammar Master Basket Ball game. In addition, he is a noted debater, and can make a perfect thermometer. Some day we expect to hear of his having become an inventor. Then the teaching profession will suffer a great loss. Good luck, Charlie! We all wish you great success in the future, and we know our wishes are not in vain, for you have in you the stuff of which success is made. Glee -Club; Debates. FRANCIS LEO HALEY 77 Allen Street Leominster, Mass. ' He may not be tall, But he ' s the best one of them all. Leo is another one of our Leominster boys, and he certainly is a studious creature. We never see him studying but he always has his lessons ! Who is this Miss K we hear sometimes mentioned in connection with your name, Francis? As the saying goes, Still waters run deep. He is the best-natured fellow in our class. We certainly hope that when he has been teaching a few years he will want to come back and see us all again. Debates; Glee Club. CATHERINE LOUISE TOBIN Pleasant Street Becket, Mass. And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew. When Mother Nature was casting the various moulds for man- kind, by a sudden impulse she poured several of her rare gifts into one fortunate form and then smiled at the agreeable product — Cathy. The talents and gifts of this Berkshire miss are so manifold that a Sears-Roebuck catalogue would be inadequate for indexing them. Cathy is one of our most conscientious members, and is very dependable any time and any where. She is clever in all her studies, and as coach for J. H. S. IV she is unexcelled. Under her capable direction, we won a decided victory in basket ball over the well- trained Faculty six. Catherine has worked well and faithfully for her school and class, and there was no project or activity planned which did not receive her whole-hearted cooperation and where Catherine cooperated, success was certain. Our petite member has received a fine start in her four years with us, and when the race of life is at its height we shall expect to see Cathy break the tape, a winner. May- success crown all her efforts. Glee Club; Secretary Girls ' A. A.; Hockey; Secretary Senior Class ' 21, ' 22; Saxifrage Board. JQ Rtchburg Normal O 22

ffiie Saxifrage 12 Spring Street CATHERINE CANTY North Adams, Mass. have no other but a woman ' s reason; I think him so because I think him so. Here is one of the most active members of the J,. H. S. IV Class. As an authority on primary education Catherine can not be sur- passed. One year of her four was spent inculcating high ideals in the rising generation of Westminster. She has taken an interest in ath- letics, playing basket ball for the honor and glory of the class, cheer- ing lustily for the Varsity team for reasons known only to herself, and acting as general hike leader for the school. The Ghost Story, in which she took the lead, brought forth her hitherto concealed dra- matic ability, and the J. H. S. IV debate showed her talent along that line. We hope her ambition to become a primary supervisor will be realized in the near future.

Fitchburg, Mass. In Betty ' s case, it is Friends, classmates, students, lend me your ears. Betty is our artist par excellence and therefore was chosen to supervise our project in the drawing department. She proved an able teacher, and it was then that we began to realize her remark- able versatility as an authoritative dictator. Our Hallowe ' en Party was a glowing tribute to Betty ' s artistic talent and decorative abil- ity. Her untiring efforts and ceaseless cooperation at this time will always be remembered by the class of ' 24. Betty is a lover of nature study, and in this class again, she has reigned artist supreme. Few artists are athletes, but Betty is one of the few. She proved to be a fine basket ball player in the famous contest of J. H. S. IV vs. the Faculty. Glee Club ; Saxifrage Board. CHARLES TIMOTHY CROWLEY 168 Nashua Street Leominster, Mass. Not to speak your opinion well, but to have a good opinion worth speaking. The above quotation fits Charlie, for his contributions in class certainly show good thought. A discussion in economics is never closed until he gives the finishing touches. As an artist and a nature student, he reigns supreme. His efforts at forensic oratory were not in vain, for he was elected a member of the school team to oppose Keene. Charlie came to us from Leominster with a good rep as an athlete, and served as Vice-President of the A. A. for the past year. We all wish him a prosperous future as a Grammar Master.
