Whenever you see a new styled gown, you may be sure Nancy is present. She has a large circle of friends of both sexes, and is very fond of dancing. Nancy is an ar- dent sport fan and attends nearly all the games. Altho books haven't much interest for her, she manages to get along. Advanced Typewriting Club (1), Dramatic Club. Harold Cass Tarbox We can live without a brother, but not without a friend. Harold certainly can make and keep friends. He be- lieves in silence; but as it is generally men with brains who keep silent, why should he worry? Harold can be found at the Y. M. C. A. bowling alleys almost anytime.

Katharine Harriett Thompson What winning graces, what majestic mienl She moves a goddess, and she looks a queen. ] Iany a young man's heart flutters when Katharine gazes at him with her deep blue eyes. A true Saxon type with flaxen hair. She sings, dances, plays the piano, and is excellent at tennis. Katharine doesn't waste any too much time pondering over volumes of Plato or Socrates, but on the contrary prefers to play bridge for hours.

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. Arthur Napoleon St. Pierre Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. Arthur is a quiet chap who always tends to his own af- fairs. He is greatly interested in radios and in drawing especially. 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

class '29 book Carl Merrill Thrasher, Jr. What is well done is done soon enough. Doc Thrasher is one of the very few of the class who are able to grow a mustache. Most of them would look de- cidedly unbalanced if a hair was taken from either side. Not so with him. He has a wonderful smile, coming like the sunrise, showing faint at first, later more sure and final- ly it beams forth. He fears he will get a marcel in his spine from leaning on things while waiting for the car to and from West Fitchburg. Meri Tikkala She is the sweetest of all singers. Meri, our golden haired nightingale, may generally be heard humming some pretty tune. She is a continuous giggler, and her happy disposition makes all her pals forget the miseries of school life. Meri is the shining star of Mr. Dufour's Spanish class, and as the daughter of a Spanish grandee in The Belle of Barcelona, she mimed the perfect Castilian. We wonder how Mr. Bouvier will manage without Meri, for there hasn't been a musical entertain- ment in school to which she hasn't contributed her rich soprano voice. Glee Club (1-3), French Club (1), Dramatic Club fl-2), Orchestra (1-3), Belle of Barcelona, Rose Maiden Cantata. Ursula Tully Hail to thee — blithe spirit. Ursula was with us only during Senior year; however, she has gained many friends. She was a good sport and made a desperate attempt in basket-ball. In history she scored ace high. Ursula is very interested in the theatre and in modern art. Her ambitions are pointed towards Radciiffe, and we are sure she will be very successful there. Dramatic Club (4), Basket-ball (4). Tauno Ensio Valimaki All great men are dying and I am feeling ill. Tauno is that tall, Herculean young man who walks down the corridors, with his head held high, as though he hadn't a care in the world. He is a divine dancer, and at- tends-all our social gatherings. Do you remember way back in our Freshman year when he participated in a great many dramatic club entertainments, and was also the leading man in Alley 9990 ? He is still an actor, pretending that girls hold no interest for him whatsoever, but we who know him, do not surely accuse him of being a woman-hater. dee Club (1-4), School Council (2), Write-up Commit- tee. Eleanor Constance Wagner Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Eleanor is an ardent history student. Most of her spare time is spent in reading either historical novels or history text books. Miss Smith may soon have a rival, for we hear that Eleanor intends to become a history teacher. Her oral talks are always welcomed in English, for they prove to be long and very interesting. The best of luck to you, Eleanor, and may all your pupils be history shsrlcs Glee Club (1-4), Dramatic Club (1). 151] » — iililVnfr'
