CHAUNCEY EISNER After skipping the eighth grade, Chauncey literally skipped through High School. He received a prize last year for doing the most work under the greatest handicap, and has completed his course in three years. Most of his marks have been A’s. GRACE ELLIOTT Grace, more generally known as “Mickie,’ is a Sterling girl. She believes in being among the minority, in that she is one of the select, who have not bobbed their hair. She is by no means a man hater. Indeed, she seems to have a weakness for the “Ramblers.” MARY FLYNN “May” “May” is a most jovial person. “What's the matter with being late for school every morning?” asks May. This fair one was a very loyal supporter of school athletics. Her reddish hair acted as an attraction to all males. Cheer up, they will fall for anything! Who said “weaker sex?” ADA OPHELIA FOOKES “Dimples” is one of our more wmirthful members. Ada is pursuing the Normal Course and hopes some day to become a teacher. Let us hope she finds that occupation as amus- ing as her present one. Ada is very athletic and plays good basketball. One can depend on seeing her present at all our games. GERTRUDE ISABELLE FOSTER “Gert” Gert won basketball fame for two years. She hails from North Leominster where all intel- ligent scholars come from. She is noted for her height. At present she is letting her hair grow (how could she help its growing) so that she may become a frequenter of Massa- chusetts General next fall. 22

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

MARY LEDGERWOOD FRASER “Mollie” Mary is really a worthy senior, although in size one must count her a freshman. Mollie makes up her deficiency in size however, by being one of our brightest pupils. Her favorite saying seems to be, “My cow!” When she grows up into a school teacher she will have to give up slang. ELEANOR GALLAGHER “Lena” Lena has got it all over everyone as far as the “art of being silent” is concerned. We all know that Eleanor studies a great deal, but when she comes to class, she just won't talk. No hope of putting off your own recitation by having Lena called on first. BRONI GARGULINSKI Among those who came from the big city of Sterling to try their luck at Leominster High School in the fall of 1924, we find Broni. He was one of the unobtrusive members of our class, but we all wish him the best of luck. WILLIAM GAVIN This is William Thomas Gavin, ordinarily known as Cueball because of his ivory-colored pate. Cueball is some little hoofer and he has the most “college” suit in school. Although he is only a little over five feet tall, his big smile and pleasing personality make him one of the big men of our class. KATHERINE BREVOORT GORHAM “Kay” “Of manners gentle and of affections mild.” “Kay” was a keen pursuer of knowledge and a brilliant student of the Commercial Depart- ment. This is the first time the most of us have had our names in print, but Kay beat us to it by writing an article for the L. H. S. News. Keep it up, Kay, you'll beat us all. 23 Va
