Tlie Saxifrage DORIS VERONICA CONNOR S47 Westminster Hill Road Fitchburg, Mass. So mild, so patient, so loyal, so good. Doris has worked faithfully for four years at F. N. S. and wherever she was found cooperating, success was certain. By her kind words, her desire to help, and her artistic ability, she has won the approval of both faculty and classmates. She seems to have a great interest in Biblical stories, especially the one concerning Daniel (?). Doris is a little timid in expressing her views, but after reading her written work we find something of her real self and her ideals. We hope in parting, that Doris ' s faithfulness will be rewarded and that she will find good luck all through life. Tennis, Bowling, Girls ' A. A., D. G. A., Secretary French Club ' 25. HELEN IRENE KEATING Gentle of speech, Beneficent of mind. Fitchburg, Mass. When Helen left us to teach in South Royalston, we never d:eamed that she would return to F. N. S., but teaching in a .country schoo 1 was not all sunshine, so Helen found out. It may seem that Helen takes study too seriously. However, she found time for bowling once a week or playing tennis. We have no doubt that Helen will meet with success wherever she goes, and will be a valuable asset to any community. Tennis, Bowling, Girls ' A. A., French Club, D. G. A. MADLYN MARY MALONEY 126 Laurel Street Fitchburg, Mass. She moves a goddess and looks a queen. When first we met this tall, dignified young lady with the golden hair we wondered how we could know her better. Everything comes to him who waits and after four years Mad ' yn has won the hearts of all who have made her acquaintance at F. N. S. Mad ' .yn tried to make us believe that the best physical exercise was driving a Buick car, but Miss McDermott succeeded in getting her to show her re- markable abi.ity in bowling, as well as her speed in driving. Her hardest task at F. N. S. seems to have been to get to Assembly on time, and her only excuse is that it is a long walk from the South Side. Here ' s luck to you, Madlyn !

■ Tlie Saxifrage 8 Waverly Street PAULINE FRANCES WALDRON She has been our guide, sage, philosopher, and friend- The very acme of perfection! Fitchburg, Mass. The J. H. S. IV Class is proud, and indeed fortunate, in having such a good scout for a leader. Pauline has proved herself a very able pilot all through the course. We expect that she will secure an eminent position as a math, instructor, judging from her ability to solve trig, problems (?). Is there anything in my mailbox? is her constant cry between periods. Writing a letter a day is one way of fitting oneself for teaching English, and the outcome will not surprise us a bit. H. M. stands for His Majesty. Do you still believe opportunity Knox but once, Pauline? President of J. H. S. IV, W. A. A., Basket Ball, D. G. A. 69 Elizabeth Street WALTER CLARENCE POLSON Women are no assets to this world (?). Fitchburg, Mass. A firm resolution to maintain celibacy no doubt provoked the above statement. He may think he ' s deceiving us — but we advise him to have a care or the goblin ' 11 get him. Walt has spent many long hours at his books and his recitations surely prove it. Practically and possibly his spare time is spent in boosting the Y. M. C. A. At times Walt has made some rash statements in class but then — a debater always has his own views on any subject. He has a great deal of ambition — a characteristic of all great men. Vice-President of J. H. S. IV, Debating, M. A. A., French Club. 71 Spring Street GRACE ELIZABETH BROWN ' Grace in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love. West Springfield, Mass. Brownie, as she is known to all her classmates, shoulders a great deal of responsibility for her Alma Mater. By her ability in class discussions we can predict for her a brilliant future as speaker cf the House. Into whatever field she may go we can see nothing but success awaiting her. Grace seems to have a greater interest in psychology this year — is it the teacher or the subject, Brownie? President of Student Government ' 25, Secretary of Girls ' A. A. ' 25, Secretary of J. H. S. ' 24, ' 25, Hockey, Bowling. 154 Harrison Avenue LEO BERNARD FLANAGAN My thoughts are my own. Fitchburg, Mass. For two years Leo has served as the efficient treasurer of the J. H. S. IV Class. His dignified manner would lead us to believe that he cared not for the weaker sex, and careful observation has proved this to be true. We have often wondered what Leo does in his spare time but we have never succeeded in finding out. Rumor has it, however, that Leo is seen frequently in Leominster, but that isn ' t incriminating. His s incerity and natural ability predict a bright future for him. Treasurer of J. H. S. IV ' 24, ' 25, Men ' s A. A., Football ' 25, Treasurer of French Club. |Q Fitchburg Normal 5 19

CHARLOTTE FRANCES PICKARD Littleton, Mass. ' Happiness is living. X There came forth from a little town this maiden who won the x hearts of all who met her. Charlotte is one of the happy members of our class who seems to find pleasure in most everything. Lately she has been fostering the desire of going into the Kentucky mountains to teach and if she does go we know she will win many pupils by her sunny disposition. As a debater Charlotte brought honor to our class. She shows her debating ability in class also by trying to defend that home town. Charlotte will never lack friends, for all wish to know the girl with a smile for everyone. Tennis, Bowling, W. A. A., Day Student Government Council, French Club. JEANNETTE HERMINIE RICHARD 91 North Street Fitchburg, Mass. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. If you happen to stroll through Normal Hall and hear a mirthful laugh, you will surely see a little girl who is always happy and free. Jeannette ' s happy-go-lucky way helped us all in some of the long dreary hours of study. Jeannette usually makes us sit up and take notice when she brings her assignment to class where it is always appreciated. Each year spent at F. N. S. seems to have added more to her popularity, for everyone knows her to be a good friend. We hear she intends to continue her education and will again study French at Harvard University this summer. One of her great desires is to visit Le Francais et Sa Patrie. She has been known to confide a dis- tinct preference for the medical profession. Who could do better? President French Club, W. A. A., Tennis, Hockey, Bowling, D. G. A. LORANE CATHERINE SCHUDER 1020 Parchment Avenue Kalamazoo, Mich. Oh! how I wish again That I were in Michigan. Lorane tried hard last year to make herself believe that the West was God ' s country, but the East held too many of her dear friends, so back home she came. She is one of those happy-go-lucky girls who seems to bring sunshine wherever she goes. Two years ago, Lorane was one of the best athletes at Normal, but this year her artistic abil- ity was recognized and she has filled the position as drawing instruc- tor at Junior High. Friends she has many, but one young man whom we know seems to have first place. W. A. A. |Q Fitchburg Normal £5
