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

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

HERBERT COREY “Herb” Oh, what a sheik! We notice, though, that he is a “one woman man.” Herbie was our prize center on the basket- ball team this year. He knew his jump! He is also a first-baseman on the baseball team. Don't bother with flannel nickels, Herbie, they shrink. GUY CUTTER Guy “Lengthy” Cutter, nicknamed thus— well, if you don’t know why, ask someone who has seen him. Guy served as vice-president of our class during our freshman year. This year Guy is chairman of the Traffic Depart- ment and carries the distinction of being a second lieutenant in “Eddies Army.” WALTER IRVING DEACON “Deac”’ “How do you do, please! Oh, but politeness is a virtue, Walter!” “Deac” made the winning touchdown for us at Fitchburg. He plays basketball and base- ball, too. One hears rumors that he likes “voung” girls! We wonder! Keep the home fires burning, Walter! (but not too near the cradle.) RAYMOND DEPELTEAU Raymond, known as a pool shark, is quite a boy. His neat appearance, shiny shoes, and slicked hair show that he intends to be a business man in the future. He takes no part in athletics or other school activities, but spends plenty of time studying. MARY FRANCES DORMIN Mary has no real nickname. She’s one of our honor pupils and during her four years with us has taken great interest in all the sports. Very easily known why! Mary is proof con- trary to the saying that red-haired girls dis- like other red-haired people. We know Mary will be successful in college and in her life work. 21
