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

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

PAULINE BROOKS HARNDEN “Pauly” It merely is a shame what a mere type- writer can do to a person! It ean easily cor- rupt one’s language. Pauline takes a fancy to red hair and basket- ball players. It seems as though these iwo traits go together as shown in another case in this class. CLARICE HARRINGTON Sweet and demure! That is Clarice’s stamp. Looks deceive, though; especially in her case. She may be sweet, but demure? Clarice’s favorite pastime is laughing. And it’s a good healthy laugh she possesses, too. Many say she is romantically inclined . . . I wonder why! FRANK EVERETT HARRIS “T don’t get going very often, but when I Comes. !” Everett hails from North Leominster, where they grow ice. He isn’t much of a sheik as yet; but just wait! M. A. C. seems to have attracted Everett; so here’s good luck to him in the future. VIOLA ETHEL HILTZ “Vi” is one of the literary bugs in our high school. It is a relief to have one of her kind in class, after all the “dumb” ones. Though not athletically inclined, she is a loyal sup- porter of all teams. Watch out for Marion, Vi! CLAYTON LUCIUS HODGE “And silence like a poultice comes to heal. the blows of sound.” His highness spends his time in pursuing the English dictionary and slinging it! His accomplishments include balancing teacher’s registers, performing in plays and vaudeville shows, and furnishing amusement for a female of the Library Board. What would we do without our Joke Editor? Here’s to times’ power of shrinkage! 25
