PHILIP L. BURGESS aidie Who is Phil Burgess? What a question to ask! Who does not know? Burgess, the president of the “L” Club. Phil, the comedian. Jimmie, the actor. Burgess, the promoter. Burgess, the football player. Studious (?) Phil. Assistant business manager of the Leonine. One fine fellow! MERRILL EUGENE BUSH Merrill joined us during the fall of our freshman year. His position as news editor of the L. H. S. News and picture editor of this book are examples of the “stick to it” trait which has made him so successful. His com- mon sense, which he shows to perfection in the Student-Teacher Council, will carry him far. His fairness and good judgment have made him the respected chairman of the Welfare Department. HAZEL E. CAISSE “Casey” “Casey, as she is sometimes called, really isn’t a cop, but a worthy and happy-go-lucky member of our class. She never lets little things worry her. That’s the right spirit! We hope she sticks to that in the future when hard times confront her. Luck in heans! ROY CAMPBELL Roy came to Leominster High School after spending two years in Harvard High School. In Harvard, he was popular as a wrestler and he starred on the baseball team of that school. His two years in L. H. S. were spent in the pursuit of his studies and occasional class sports. MARTIN HADLEY CASEY “Goldilocks” “Goldilocks” is our “Mexican” athlete. He has been one of our most studious pupils, es- pecially in French; also an adept in breaking windows and evading results. He must have a pull with the janitor. Here’s hoping he skips along just as carefree in later life. 19

18 ALVIN CARL BAKER “Cutsey” “Cutsey!” Where do you suppose he got that nick-name? As a track man, he sure is there. There’s no doubt about it. We admire his ability as a bookkeeper, along with that of a few others in the same class. Oh b-b-b-boy, Cutsey! KATHERINE BARR “Katey” Katherine is a studious, quiet girl, but be- neath her quietness there runs a tremor of gaiety and gladness. She is one of the worthy members of the Literary Staff and Library Board. CORIENE BELLE BATCHELDER “Put her amongst the boys” Coriene is very studious in short-hand, but simply despises bookkeeping. You see, her mathematical cells are not yet developed. She is young, however, and there are hopes. Cor- iene looks like a cute little dutch girl when her hair is straight. She always has a merry smile. In the first period class, you could always find her asking Mr. Donnelly something. “Oh my gosh!” ELIZABETH AMELIA BILLINGS Elizabeth is one of the few “Students,” as it were, who called themselves Seniors. One could never catch her not knowing a question in class! She was always one of those “can’t I help you?” girls, though she never let any- one take advantage of her good nature. EDWARD WILLIAM BRADY A remarkable personality, a keen sense of humor, oratorical ability, and leadership— qualities when mixed together produce the King, our worthy and honorable class presi- dent for the last two years. Although not athletically inclined, his write-ups as sports editor of L. H. S. News are most interesting. We are enjoying the way he presides at Eng- lish Club meetings. He surpasses Hodge in oratorical ability, which we hear he uses with good effect on the Student-Teacher Council.

FRANCIS JAMES CAVANAGH “Cav” “Cav” was a player as well as a manager of the basketball team this year. How’s that for apples? He was a member of that gang in Room 4 that Mr. Donnelly had to put up with. He is a member of the track team, too. Watch out for the bees! MARTIN CAVANAGH “Marty” Martin possesses a gift for playing the piano. He is talented, as well, in the vocal line of music. As an actor, Martin takes the wooden nickels. He was leading man in the two oper- ettas the school has given. Don’t let your fingers get mildewed, Marty. EDITH ELIZABETH CLARK “Edie “Kdie” could be heard long before she reached Room 20. We all knew noise and laughter were her greatest assets. She pur- sued the Commercial Course like many other classmates and she was quite a “shorthand shark.” “Edie” was the best janitor in our Gym class even if she did hurt herself while trying to manage the unruly windows. JACK COHEN Readers, gaze upon the one and only real broker L. H. S. ever had! Holding this worthy position didn’t stop Jack from becoming an honor student, though! He was manager of “the” football team of °25. Always rushing, but always having a definite purpose, we leave Jack to carry on his business ability in the future. GEORGE OSCAR CONNORS “Hackey” George, or rather known as “Hackey,” has the appearance of a quiet laddie, but beware, he is right there. Once studying and being late for school were his enjoyments; but now just being with Doris is his only employment. 20
