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

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

ALFRED WALLACE GOVE “His Heart is in his Work.” Wallace is one of the lights of our class. He is a hard and consistent worker, always achiev- ing that for which he aims. Last year, he won first prize in Competitive Drill. Wallace is not by any means a grind, and sometimes he - does show a gust of humor. CURTIS REGINALD GREENLAW “A modest and well mannered youth.” Curtis, who is better known by the less mu- sical name of Curt (due not to his character, but to a contraction of his full legal title) is well liked by all his classmates. His social activities are limited to one field of endeavor, the Glee Club. EVELYN MARY GREENLAW “It’s the Horrors.” Here we have Evelyn without her Arthur. Don’t be surprised. Evelyn is one of the busiest girls in our school. Collecting English Club dues, Annual Literature, taking part in plays, and vaudeville is how she spends her time. This young lady is quite popular, and has aided in the launching of many new move- ments. JOHN GRUBB Otherwise known as “Johnny,” is a shy re- tiring boy, but nevertheless, a boy of great ability. He is one of the main props under the band and orchestra. We cannot imagine what would become of Kingsbury if he could not depend on Johnny for the answers to his chemistry questions. He is also one of our most noted “trig sharks.” HILDEGARDE LENNEA GUSTAFSON “Sweet, demure, a lovable girl” Hilda is one of our quiet girls, who gets re- sults from her class work. Tuesday morning, during the extra period, she is always helping out some poor unfortunate with his short-hand. Hilda says basketball gives her nice red cheeks. Well, we’re inclined to believe it. 24
