HALFORD CROCKETT North Main Street “Hal.” Bellingham ‘‘The Star of the North.” Toot! Toot! Here comes Hal,” our class president and big gun! Hal’s” ability is well known. Was it baseball, football, hockey, or track? All of them! “Hal” would do it! He put his shoulder to the wheel and helped things to go round. “Hal” was always more or less popular with the so-called “weak sex.” You could usually find one or two girls in “Hal’s” vicinity. Of course, he wouldn’t admit this fact, but he doesn’t have to, because we know! “Hal” is going to Fitchburg Normal next year. We wish him the “best of luck,” and hope he occupies the same position in his new classmates’ hearts as he has in ours.

EDWARD ACKLEY Cottage Street “Eddie” Franklin “There is no part too difficult for him to play.” “Eddie” was always a very popular member of our class. Not only with the fellows was this true, but he was also a general fa¬ vorite with the members of the fairer sex. “Eddie” was fond of dancing and could often be seen “tripping the light fantastic” around the floor. “Eddie” had two great talents, and they were for acting and public speaking. In the fall he is to go under the supervision of E. E. Clive of the Copley Theatre in Boston. We are sure he will be a great success, and wish him the best of luck!

That’s probably why “Dot” made such a good showing in basketball and hockey. “Dot” was also one of the intellectual members of our class, as was shown by the fact that she was made President of the Biology Club. If there was any work to be done or any help given “Dot” would co¬ operate and do her share. She was a jolly companion , a good sport, and a willing worker. We’re sure that if she keeps up the record she has set in High School she will make a grade A nurse. “Oskey” Editorial Committee; Class Treasurer 4; Dramatics 2, 4; Hallowe’en Committee 1, 2, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Marshal 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Interclass Track 1, 3; Captain 2, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3; Captain 4; President Biology Club 4.

NORMA MAYBELLE TRACY Winter Street “Norm” Franklin “Love, sweetness, goodness in her person, shine.” All stand! Meet Normal You don’t know who she is? Well, she’s one of the most dependable and most active members of our class. She was our prize dancer, and took part in all the dancing programs of the high school, and also of “Fannie’s.” As our class secretary—well—need we say more? We wonder if those are “Frat” pins that Norma is adorning herself with? We are informed that they are speed pins—that she has received for her excellent typewriting ability. “Congratulations.” We hope that “Norm” will he as successful a secretary in business as she has been in high school.

JOHN AUSTIN 430 East Central Street “Johnnie” Franklin “By the work one knows the workman.” “Oh, who’s that? What’s he going to do? Is he the “Cat”?” Such were the many exclamations and screams upon Johnnie’s en¬ trance in “The Cat and The Canary.” Although Johnnie didn’t turn out to be the “Cat,” we sure haven’t recovered from the scare he gave us that night. As you have probably guessed, Johnnie ' s special line was dra¬ matics, and could he act? About the only time we ever saw “Johnnie” was when plays were in preparation, for he was one of the few industrious boys in our class and managed to skip off right after classes every day. And his evenings were very much occupied,—but not by work. “Johnnie” will not need us pushing him to succeed in what ever work he will take up, but we’ll be there just the same. Dramatics 2, 3, 4. CHARLES AVADANIAN “Charley” Bellingham “Silence, mother’s genius.” Charley was surely a quiet boy to everyone who knew him. Ever since we entered High School Charley has been interested in woodwork and every annual exhibition of the students’ work shows Charley leading the class in this art. Charley is always con¬ sulted by his fellow students when there is any doubt in their mind as to how to proceed. Charley intended going to Fitchburg Normal but I believe he has found a position as cabinet maker in which he can work up to the height of prosperity which he de¬ serves. In this work we all wish him the best of luck. Glee Club; Hallow r e’en Dance Committee. [ 24 ]
