class '29 book Kaarlo Julius Sandstrom am not without suspncion that I have an undeveloped faculty of music within me. Kaarlo is one of our good-natured classmates, who is a ver - talented musician on wind instruments. He is a member of the High School Band and Orchestra, as well as other orchestras outside of school. Kaarlo studies faithfully, and receives good marks for his work. He does not, ho ve er, spend all his time stud ing or playing, for we often see him on Main Street with his pal Charley. Band (1-4), Orchestra (1-4). Helen Sayers A light heart and a joy of living are indeed a blessing. We have in Scotty a live wire, and a willing helper. As a member of the Rainbow Society, she makes their parties and meetings merry. Studies don't seem to bother Helen. Perhaps it is because she is Scotch and is always looking for something free. Whenever we are looking for Scotty we search Main Street first, because she is usually there with one of her gang. School Council (3). Dorothy Margaretta Schadlich Laughing eyes, a merry smile. And a merry, merry heart. Dot is one of our most popular and likable girls. She is interested in all class acti ities. We hear her heart went with a certain basket-ball pla 'er. Dot keeps a stern eye on the lines on the fourth floor to see that all the rules are carried out. She is well liked by all her teachers. Here's to our best triple threat, Gladvs, Priscilla, and Dot.

Dora Marie Seacrist A sweet, shy, pensive grace. Dora appears to be very quiet and serious, but under- neath we know she is the vtry spirit of fun. She always belie es in being prepared, and can be depended on to be there with the answers in every class. For three years she has shown her musical ability and loyalty to the school by faithfully playing her cello in our orchestra. Her usual expression in the corridor is: No talking, girls. Noted for those soft brown eyes. Orchestra (1-4), Dramatic Club (4), Track (3), Marshal. James Sheehan Skilled in sports and pastimes. Jimmy is one of our outstanding athletes in the High School. His great work on the football team, as half- back, will long be remembered. Didn't he just seem to flv through the lines of our opponents? It was an inspira- tion to watch him play, because he put his all into every game. Basket-ball, however, is another sport in which Jimmy ranks high. He is a favorite with the fellows and the girls especially. When there is to be a dance, Jimmy is not only ready to lend his assistance in putting up decor- ations, but he is usually at every social affair that comes along.

class '29 book Barbara Priscilla Smith ' Round her eyes her tresses Jell Which were blackest, none could tell. Priscilla is dark, sedate, and quiet. When stirred with emotion, her coal black eyes glisten like those of an Indian. Skating has a great attraction for Priscilla, and often on moonlight nights she is seen gliding gracefully o -er the smooth surface of the ice. She likes to dance, also. In the afternoons she trots to market with a familiar basket which we so often have seen dangling under her arm. We believe this is good practice for the future. Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Elinor Needham Stevens repose, I write, I think. Elinor is one of the most fascinating brunettes of our class. She has beauty, charm, and brimming eyes full of life and happiness. Everybody likes Elinor because of her charming manners and agreeableness. She holds us spell- bound when she dances. Elinor's chief method of ex- pressing herself is poetry. Sonnets, blank verse, and funny riddles are all in her power. We know she will be a great figure in the literary world, for all her attempts at story writing have proved satisfactory thus far. Dramatic Club. Lillian Gertrude Stockwell Quietness has its own charms. Lillian is one of our many blondes. She has a long walk to school. But we never hear of her being late, proving that she must rise with the chickens. Lillian is a very good cello player, but she seems to have hidden her talent during her high school career. She was, however, a very impor- tant member of the orchestra in grammar school. Lillian is a member of the hard-working part-timers, and every other week is to be found at The Safety Fund National Bank. Marshal.

We hear that in the past his pen has sketched some very pretty designs, mostly posters. Ernest Roy St. Pierre O this learninji, what a thin it is. Ernie believes in doing just as he pleases. He can be quite brilliant, but delights in playing pranks. Ernie takes great interest in the band, and never misses a dance. He certainly has his share of good looks, and con- sequently he is the envy of many of his fellow classmates. He is indirectly interested in the nursing profession. Band. I49j
