So that we may not forget our Alma Mater and the many friends we have made in our high school days, we publish this book. In the years to come, may it be a source of great happiness to look over its pages and live those happy high school days again. BLSIE D. FAIRBANKS OUR CLASS ADVISER WE, the class of 1928A, consider Miss Fairbanks a very helpful guiding hand. She has had a great deal of experience as a class adviser and has endeavored to make our work successful. We are sure as we grow older it will be a pleasure to remember our worthy class adviser. She has always been interested in our Alma Mater, and has been a very successful History teacher. WUQWZ X Mmm CUSSOF 1928A 1' f eg 'W f ,Q C9 We 'Y 6 I U C7 2 5 I AO i A G L A I A Page Eleven SEFTON ABBOTT SrMM1E Ladies prefer blondes. Simmie might well be termed one of the most handsome men in our class. His golden locks have been the envy of all the girls. Sim doesn't care much about studying but his love for acting makes up for this. His keen sense of humor has afforded his classmates many laughs and his teachers many worries. FRANK E. ADAMS, JR. Hmmm Smile and the world smiles with you. Frank certainly believes in letting a smile be his umbrella for whoever saw him when he wasn't smiling? Some- day Heimie is going to write a poem or produce some great masterpiece be- cause even now he has started thinking and dreaming about it. HAROLD A. ANDERSON 4cANDYv:, uAHAL:s Personality plus. Andy is one of the most popular boys in our class. He possesses that ever elusive quality known as person- ality. Andy is a lover of hot dance music. In fact his one ambition is to equal Mal Hallet as an orchestra leader. Ancly's favorite pastime is breaking girls' hearts. RAY C. AVERY HBABEU He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be one, and he did it. There is a peculiar quality to Ray's smile that has led people to believe that he knows more than the rest of us, but his friends willingly testify that Ray is laughing not at but with us. Ray's chief interest in life is pole vaulting. Even those who haven't seen Ray's slicker know that he is an artist. Page Twelve A G L A IA OLIVE E. AYER HOLLY A maid of bewitching grace. Olive is the envied possessor of curly fiaxen hair, merry blue eyes and a sweet manner which have Won her many friends. Her specialty has been drawing. We have appreciated her gay posters around the school. Books, of which teachers cruelly relieved her, had a special fascination for her. SAMUEL T. BAKUS HSALI-N Always chasing a good time. Sam is one of those fellows who is always looking for a good time. Perhaps he isn't too boisterous in school, but we know that he is when he's out of school. However, Sam is one of these regular boys and can do good Work when he settles down. FLORENCE B. BARRETT FLoss1s If naught is happening, then will I make it. Flossie is' everything but quiet. If the class is too calm to suit her, she is sure to make something happen , especially in Economics. But when it comes to Stenography, Flossie is somewhat different. One might say that she becomes almost serious. We are sure that she will make someone an excellent secretary in the near future. EDWARD I. BARRY MED!! A lion-hearted caveuman, beware, fair maiden. In our school life Ed has proven himself an agreeable companion and a helpful friend. His leisure hours are used in playing baseball, and 'tis whis- pered around that Ed is quite a. lion with the young damsels of the class. Let's hope that Ed can usher his way through aisles of fame as he does at the Crown. . A G L A I A Page Thrrteen H ELEN E. BARRY Emu It's nice to he natural, when you are naturally nice. Helen is one of the very quiet mem- bers of our class. She is not well known by many because she is so quietg but never mind, Helen, some people get into trouble because they talk too much. We hear Helen is a11 ethcient chauffeur. MARION D. BEMIS h DUCKIE Black hair with natural curls And an everlasting smile. Marion's peppy ways and easy smiles have sent her through school on high , We heard that she is a biology star, and that bugs have a certain fas- cination for her. If she keeps smiling, we predict the very best kind of a time for her all through her life. ROGER P. BENEZET HBENNYH A youth of labor with an age of ease. Roger is intelligence personified. Does he study all the time?-we should think the girls would have something to say about that. He has time for athletics. Track has taken up a great deal of his attention. Oh, we expect great things to be done by him in the future. EDITHA M. BENNERT Kxnno Still Waters run deep. Editha is not as well known to us as we would like to have her, having come to our school from Andover last fall. Ffditha is quiet and studious and is right with us when it comes to studying. We wish we could have her pleasant company with us longer. Page Fourteen A G L A I A CLARE A. BRESNAHAN 4KCAB1v A foot more lightg a step more true Ne'er from the heath-flower dashed the dew. Cab is our foremost debater and received the first prize medal from N. H. U. Although she has been con- nected with an ice cream company for some time, she is not the least bit cold- hearted. She is always a willing helper and a friend. Cab usually makes a success of what she attempts. JOSEPH E. BRONSTEIN UJ'OE!Y Manchester High School's loss will be Bioston University's gain when Joe leaves. joe is well known through- out New England for his prowess as a basketball player. Joe was a regular guard for two years on our basketball team. Joe is also an all around good sport, and is known for being a very jovial pal. MARY A. BROOKS Little notes a flutter Sound like dancing drops Of a brook on pebbles,- Song that never stops. The voice of our Mary resembles the notes of babbling Brooks a name she really bears. She has made a good be- ginning as a singer and she has the good wishes of us all for a future known only to prima donnas. FREDERICK BROWN HFREDDIEH 'Freddie' Brown 'came to town To tease the girls And make the teachers frown. V Freddie certainly enjoys ruining the placid atmosphere of the classroom. The only time there is a lull is when Fred feigns drowsiness. We hope Freddie will grow up some day and put business before pranks. Despite his teasing ways, his classmates have enjoyed his company. A G L AIA Page Fzfteen NATHANIEL BROWN KINATU Still waters run deep. Nathaniel is a quiet personality who recently joined the Class of 1928A. To keep out of mischief he devotes his spare time to working for the famous A and P. Time would no doubt reveal several admirable traits in Nat . JOHN I. BUFFUM KKJOCKIY Minh, admit me of thy crew. John has been with us only two years. During that time there was never a class room too dull to stifle jock's laugh. The dark side of life never occurs to him. His practical jokes are continually keeping someone in misery. Few would pick Jock for a poet and yet-read the Oracle. MARY J. BURKE l1RED1r Silence never betrays you. Who said that a temper always goes with red hair? Maybe Mary has a temper, but if she has, her pleasing manner with her schoolmates doesn't show it. She has attained a good rec- ord in stenography and we feel sure that she will be a successful secretary to her future employer. WILLIAM E. CADARETTE HBILLH A second Demosthenesf' Demosthenes will have to look to his laurels when Bill begins making ora- tions. Bill is always on the lookout to work some boyish prank. He has displayed his business ability as Busi- ness Manager of the Aglaia. His name has adorned the honor roll quite a few times, and he was graduated in three and one-half years. Page Sixteen A G L A I A DOUGLAS M. CAIRNS l:D0UGr9 Ahl it is a goodly sight to see a man so handsome. Doug came to us from far-away Honolulu. He immediately made him- self known by his smile. Since then his chief excuse for having his name in the paper has been that he was captain of the swimming team. Doug can talk long and interestingly upon the amount of bunk in the usual romantic conception of Hawaii. MARY C. CANNON me Gentlemen prefer blondes. Mary is .one of our bright little blondes who is seen but seldom heard. She is one of our rare quiet girls. When there is something worth saying Mary is there to tell us. She likes dancing, how much we don't know. We all have enjoyed Mary's quiet, good nature. ALBERT CAN TIN HAL!! Laugh away sorrow and care for here I come. We think it would be a miracle if we saw Albert without a smile. Although he is always smiling, he is a quiet lad. Albert did not go in for many school activities because he lives near'Pine Island Park and does not have time to stay around school. DOROTHY H. CASEY IIDOTI! A smile will always pay. Dot is never found to be lacking in interest, though she reveals dancing to be her favorite pastime. All friends of Dot hope to continue their pleasant friendship after June. Ability and in- .terest are two good points to have, so we admire Dot . A G L A I A Page Seventeen HAZEL E. CASWELL BOBBY On with the dance. Despite her years and experience in the world she can still manage to blush which is a rare art. She acknowledges that dancing is her favorite sport. We are sure she will be a success in her future career. Her friends hope to continue their pleasant friendship after leaving school. MYRTLE S. CEDAR HAIUDIY Her heart jumps up, when she beliolds- Myrtle is endowed with a jolly, friendly disposition and a wealth of giggles and grins. She has been a great asset to our basketball team for four years, and we know Miss Sheehan will have to look hard to find a substi- tute for her, Mud has a weakness- shall we say for boys CPD or is it one special boy, Mud ? ROGER L. CELLEY uRAJAHn Rajah is well liked by his school- mates and is. never found lacking in friends. Now that ladies as well as gentlemen deal in worldly affairs we are sure of Rajah's luck. VVe all hope he does not forget the lessons taught in good M. H. S. and has also profited by them. DORIS M. CHALMERS t1DOT1x As cheerful as the day is long. Although Dot hast' not been with us long, she has gained a prominent place in M. H. S., and in the hearts of the many students who know her. Dot is one of the few proclaimed by Mrs. Daley as being an accurate stenographer. We know that someone will be lucky when he employs Dot as his secretary. Page Eighteen A G L A I A HELEN V. CHARAS UVICN Better late than never. We are sure of the fact that Helen is a great busybody. For at school she is always in a hurry but somehow, even though a puzzle to us, she manages to stay stationary long enough to be on trafhc duty. Don't hurry to forget your A quiet, unassuming girl classmates, Helen. IKLOUN thorn. Although she is generally and reserved, she is in fact person.

Jackson College will be for- tunate to have Stel's Latin transla- tions and her scholastic standing. If curls, in this day and generation become a girl, some one is fortunate. Your course of life is shaped, no doubt, by fate, so take each day as it comes. VIRGINIA M. CLARK There is quiet spirit in these woods That dwells where'er the gentle south wind blows. Virginia has a warm nature typical of the southern state whose name she bears. She is always ready to work and her help in the Home Economics Club has bCCl1 appreciated by all the members. Her command of English is unsurpassed. That she will succeed in the future is unquestioned. A G L A I A Page Nineteen CLIFTON F. CODY UCLIFH A hard and conscientious worker. Hard work and studying seem to go hand in hand with Clif. ' Clif, is a pretty good track man, having earned his numerals in our school. .A plugger like Clif will certainly reach his goal in life. Clif was an active member of the Hi-Y Club during the past year. PEARL V. COHEN srPAT1r In each cheek appears a pretty dimplef' Pat hails from East Boston. She will honor our class by being one of us when we hold our breath and reach for our diplomas. When you go to the school dances Pat is always there, al- ways jolly, with face shining and is the life of every party. ln school Pat is a very popular girl, getting along first- rate with her classmates-boys included. MARY E. COLBATH Come'wander with me, she said, Into regions yet untrod. Mary has been quite a traveller. She took a trip to Panama but we were all glad that she was able to return and graduate with the 1928A class. That she could travel and pass in all her studies, too, is proof of her good scholarship. She likes to play tennis and is an expert in that game. MARY A. CONCANNON Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others. Mary is a good English scholar and one of the best typists in the commer- cial department. The click of the type- writer caused by her remarkable speed will sometime bring good luck to the person who is fortunate enough to ob- tain her for a stenographer. Page Twenty A G L A I A CATHERINE P. CONNOLLY c:KAx,Exl Heart on her llips, and soul within her.cyes, Soft as her elime, and sunny as her skies. Catherine has always been quiet around school. Although you don't hear her say much, you always can see her hright smile. But just get Cathe- rine outside-say at a party-and she's as gay and talkative as anyone else. VVhatever she does, may she there End success. MARGARET H. CONNORS MARGi1 , NSMILESU Marge always has a smile for every- one. Her one ambition so far, is to he a nurse for some great dentist some day. She certainly will he successful. and we wonder who the lucky dentist is going to he. Vtlhenever We'll have a toothache, We'll be sure to look you up, Margaret. IRENE A. COTE Tho' life may uncertain be, W'li:1t cause have I to worry? lrene is willing to assume her individ- ual responsibilities and then willingly assist others. The class of 1928A has valued highly the companionship and influence of lreneg and shc carries with her the sincere regards of all. RODERICK COTE ltR0D1r I have met the enemy and they are mine. Behold a fast man! A runner. Even as a freshman Rod showed his heels to the older members of our track team. In 1927 Rod broke the State mile record with his time of 4 minutes, 40 seconds. The captain of the traffic squad is usually a conspicuous figure and Rod has been no exception. AGLAIA Page '1'wentyfOne DOROTHY A. CRESSY llDO1,Yl Here dwells no frowns nor anger. VVhere can one find a girl with as many admirable qualities as Dorothy has? She is dignified, bright, loyal, and studious. Dot is president of the Literary Club, makes a high standing in her class, and is prominent in school activities. NVQ are confident that suc- cess will he hers. BERNARD T. CUNNINGI-IAM Like the waves that dance on the sea. Vile are sure that Bernard will not object to the mention of the attractive wares which are the envy of many. Xlodesty adds to the charm of his per- sonality and wins the many friends he possesses. DAVTD VV. CUPPLES nDAVEn' uCUPn 1 pity hashful men, who feel the pain Uf fancied scorn, and muleserved disdain, Anil bear the marks upon a blushing face Ht' needless shame and self-imposed disgrace. Dave , although he has not entered many of the school activities, is quite popularg all the more for his freckles and red hair. One looks to a bright future for Dave . Math seems to be his pet study, and when the combination of Dave Cupples and Dave Lam- prey starts: take notice. However long your years may beg make use of them Dave ! FRANCES E. DADMUN FRAN XYomen were made to give our eyes delight. Frances has not always been in Man- chester High School. She came here in her junior year. Although she was homesick for her old school at first, she has come to like us better,-as well as we like her, I hope. She is quiet in school, but outside-well, judge for yourself, Page Twenty Two A G L A I A CHARLOTTE E. DAVIS HCHICKIEU Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low. Charlotte has always been so quiet in school that no one knew she was around. But she is always smiling. Perhaps it is that, together with her good looks, that has won for her many admirers-including the male sex. She may he quiet in school but, outside?- well, decide for yourself. HENRY A. DENIES DeN1Es , CAP Every inch that is not fool, is rogue. Everybody knows that little fellow, who teamed up with Rod Leavitt, makes the best pair of gymnasts in the state. Cap, DeNies has entertained us by his acrobatic stunts on the parallel bars. Never has he ever attempted to flirt but girls seem to hold a queer spell over him. Good luck, Henry, at Springfield! PAULINE DESCHENES llPOLLY!l Our great little helper. Polly certainly does believe in help- ing others. She is always doing some- thing for some one. Pauline is the president of the Home Economics Club. She is thinking of training for a nurse, and if she carries out her expectations she certainly will be successful. WILLIAM M. DOLLARD BILL So quiet that often his presence is not known. Silence is one of Bill's virtues. That is why little is known of Bill in our school. Bill is a great fellow when one gets to know him. Bill's ten- dencies are along the manual training line. We wish you success, Bill . A G L A I A Page Twenty Three RAY E. DOWNTON NROY11 A shining light which burns through all the night. Of course, every one knows Roy, but they don't know his real first name. Well, it is Ray. One day he did not respond to the teacher's habitual Roy. When he was accosted for not answer- ing he replied, My name is Ray Eugene Downtonf' Nevertheless, Ray or Roy -he is all the same to us, just Roy JOSEPH P. DULUDE KJOEYI Ah, now for the fun. Another one of our athletes is called Joe . Quarter-back, half-back, boxer, weight thrower, and gymnast are his titles, not to mention traffic cop. Joe is a humorist and an optimist. Joe is usually to be found where there is a crowd, and in the center of it, too. MARGARET ELIA HIJEGUY HMARGID Petite and short, Mischievous and always smiling. But don't forget Margaret has a long time to grow yet, although she could not possibly be any nicer. We heard she either intends to be a nurse or a Home Economics teacher, but whichever road she takes we know she will be success- ful. We wish her the best of luck. VELMA C. ERICKSON Thy face is fairy There is wonder in thine azure eyes. Velma is a quiet girl who always does her school work well. She passes in work that brings admiration of her classmates and her teachers. She is always good matured and her smiling face will be an inspiration to future pupils as Velma has decided to become a teacher. Page Twenty Fowr A G L A I A JOSEPH H. FIERMAN Thy speech will make thee famous. This is the owner of that loud laugh We hear constantly. Harry has special- ized in math. He always can argue about a theorem, and he usually is right. Harry enjoys his classes and life in general. lf optimism counts, Harry will succeed. NATHAN FLEISCHMAN HNATU I'll. walk the studiuus cloister's pale. Ah, here's the petite garqorf' of the class. Small in stature, Nathan is not content with simply getting by . He aims to make the grade with all A's. Ask his teachers. Little Nat surely has worked hard during his four years. Success is due him. DORGTHY A. FREN CH Dow Practice makes perfect. Dorothy is one of our studious busy- boclys who finds it ditlicult to divide her time correctly between music and school. Dot has a important part as the pianist for the Glee Club. She is sometimes shy on talking but she is ever ready for work. tJon't neglect your piano practice, Dot . JOHN A. GIBBONS JOHNNY A good companion and as firm a friend. Hail to our shorthand shark ! John has excelled in shorthand to the extent of winning a fine gold pencil.- VVc all think that if gold pencils were awarded in every class, John would be- come top-heavy due to over loading. VVe are sure that Johnny's' winning ways will make many friends for him in later life and will be very helpful to him in gaining success in his future undertakings. A G L A I A Page Twenty Fwe PARKER E. GILL PARKm Silence often of pure innocence Persuades when speaking fails, Parkie's height has made him a rather conspicuous figure around the school. He is better known, however, for his banjo playing. lt is whispered 'that l'arkie may some day be a great musician, but maybe after his experience in The Goose Hangs High he will choose the stage. He is another one of that gang headed for Durham. NATT W. GIJNES A man's a man for a' that. Several members of the class of l92SA have not revealed their inner selves to their classmates. Natt is one of these. Thought is often the result of silence, so we credit Natt with a serious purpose in life. JOSETTE A. GODIN Hustle, but don't forget. Being ambitious and studious Josette graduates with us in less than the usual time. Since she has been with us things have been humming and she will not forget her pleasant memories. Tiny girls are not always timid. Smile on, Ilosette, it is a good trait to have. ZILLA A. GORDON HZILN Love sought is goorlg love given unsought is better. One does not see Zil in the class- room but outside school when studies are cast aside-here she reveals her real self and everyone knows she has an appealing character. As an oflicer of the Literary Club she holds the friendships and love of all about her. A bright future to you, Zil . Page Twenty Six A G L AIA ALICE M. GOULD AL , HGOULDIEH As gay as a lark, as wise as an owl. She is Al to some of us, and G0ultlie to others, but she's the same jolly, amiable Alice to everyone. Gouldie's name has been on the honor-roll ever since she entered M. H. S. as a freshie in 1924. Her greatest ambition is to become a nurse. No one will ever mind being ill then. COSTIS GRAVAS Great men are known to blush. His only weakness is for the fairer sex. Quite like other woman-haters Costis is jovial, good-looking, always neatly dressed. Costis spends his extra time in helping his father run his cloth- ing store. We cannot fail to mention that this man Polished to the Nail has knowledge also. RUBY E. GUSTAFSON TEDDY Zealous, yet mildest, serene amidst alarms, Inflexihle in faith, invincible in arms. VVhat would the honor roll look like if Ruby's name were not on it? Gra- cious! It wouldn't be complete! Ted- dy has achieved a high scholastic standing, and we are sure she will succeed in anything she undertakes. Why? Because she possesses the necessary determination. Ruby also enjoys a good time. HOWARD M. HALEN Howie And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman. Here is perhaps the best known boy in our class. If the clothing advertise- ments are right, he will go a long way in the business world. Howie has worked hard and earned some high marks. He will graduate well up in the class. A G L A I A Page Twenty Seven GEORGE I. HARRIS Youth comes but once in a life time. George believes in having a good time while he is young, happy, and free QPD, for sooner or later he may be tied down much more than he is now in business or otherwise. However, those who know George realize that nothing can ever stand in the way when it comes to his always being a happy-go-lucky, carefree individual. LORETTA HARRIS BOBBY Smile a little bit. That's Bobby's favorite motto. No matter what time of the day you see her, there's always a smile for you. We never think she has ever had a sad day in her life and we hope she never will. VVe do not know what she intends to do after leaving school, possibly though, to be some lucky rich man's Secretary. ELIZABETH L. HARTMAN KFBETTYDI Active and busy. Betty is one of our active little busybodys who finds time for all the school activities. Whatever she at- tempts in the future we are sure will be done to the best of her ability. Her work in the Home Economics Club shows her friendly and charitable per- sonality. JOSEPH HATTON nJ'0Eu A great lover of the out of doors. Joe is one of those all around boys, being one of Manchester's few Eagle Scouts. Among his characteristics, quietness seems to predominate. Scien- tihc work seems to interest Joe a great deal. When Dan Beard dies, Joe can be mentioned as a possible successor. Page Twenty Eight A G L A I A HAROLD F. HAVVKIN S M:my'z1re his lnurelsf' Harold has been a very active mem- ber of many school activities. He made a very good impression in our Senior Play. The Maskers will certainly miss Harold when he graduates this June. His work for the flglnia is very com- mendable. Harold is always busy working in the afternoon at the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Company. PAULINE K. HAYES l'0I.I.Y A trner,'nol1ler, trustier heart More loving, pr.more loyal Never beat within a human breast. Polly , as you know, is one of the firm of Dunbar, Hayes and Lord Co. A Hirtation or two may have marred her gentle self, but otherwise Polly is carefree and modest. In Room 3 one might hear her occasionally say, My heart for a Latin translation. Syra- cuse University is her destination. HANNAH R. HEALY UANNAYI I have a little shadow. lf you happen to see Anna any- where, you won't have to look long be- fore you see Flossie , too. They arc almost inseparable. Anna makes a jolly pal, for she loves fun, and if it isn't already furnished, she supplies it herself. She is an excellent stenog- rapher, and economist UD. For refer- ences, see Mr. Daley. ROSE A. HERLIHY Listen and learn VVho is livelier and friendlier than our classmate Rose who endeavors to like most everything in and about school? Then she still has time for her favorite sport, dancing. The quality of being a good listener belongs to Rose. We are isure that Rose's personality will later prove a great asset. A G L A I A Page Twenty Nme GEORGE E. HOWE SHoRTY Many a great man was small in stature. Bicycle riding' seems to be Everett's greatest pastime and sport. He may be seen every afternoon delivering papers over his route on his bicycle. Everett is quiet but sincere, always doing his work well. Everett was Associate Ecli- tor of the Oracle during the past year. lXlURIEL N. HUTCHINSON 'iHlITCHY Looks are deceiving. Muriel's well prepared lessons prove her right to some witty remarks during class. In the near future we hope pu- pils will enjoy her good nature as well as we do. ,lust try to corner Hutchy in a good argument and see how you will squirm. GERTRUDE M. HYLAND Gent A merry twinkle in her eye, 'Twas always so. Everyone knows Gert as the girl who is always just bubbling over with smiles. Her good-naturecl manner has made her a favorite with our whole class. She has a high scholastic stand- ing, too. Latin and Spanish seem to be her pet hobbies. We are sure that a happy future awaits her. THOMAS VV. HYNES llT0hil! Hang study! Care'lI kill the cat. Here's the boy who can honestly say that lessons never bother him. Yet, he is an all around good sport. Especially, he is popular with the ladies of Room 5. We hear he just loves intelligence tests and ring committees. May life always be as pleasant, Tom . Page Thirty A G L A I A NORTON JACKSON Cheerful and gay, He passes each day. Small but energetic, Norton has earned the just reward for serious ef- fort. His associates hope that he will continue to maintain his cheerful atti- tude toward life. Happiness is earned not given. ROSAMOND P. JERAULD KIRONNIEIY A day for toil, an hour for sport, But for a friend life is too short. To know Rosamond is to appreciate the worth of her friendship and to understand the reason for her popular- ity. Everyone knows that she is a good sport. Tennis is her specialty. She is a member of the Literary Club and the Glee Club. She was publicity manager for the operetta, Patience . ELVIN V. JOHNSON MALI! He says but little and that little said Owes all its weight, like loaded dice, to lead. Quietness breeds content. Al seems to thrive through himself alone. He is a quiet chap: but one who loves sports-although he is not indulgent. We have seen much of his literary work in the Oracle. It must be remembered that he is a member of the Oracle Staff. Hopes are highg keep them flying. MYRON T. JOHNSON A pleasanter boy could ne'er be found. Myron's personality and good-nature have won him many friends. Even though he may seem quiet, you will find that he is always ready for a good time. We cannot imagine Myron as being terribly stern, but if you want to find out for yourself, just go up the east stairway on the wrong side. He's on trafhc duty there, and he seems always to be obeyed. A G L A I A Page Thirty One WILFRED VV. JOHNSON nVVILLn A sharp-wittecl youlth, starving his body to inform his mind- V, VVhat would neeome or us if no one Vfvere brilliant? VVho keeps thc stone rolling in class? Nobody else but VVill. Will is somewhat quiet and persevering, and he cares not for girls. Besides being a good scholar Will is an accommodating companion. Here's to you, VVill . GERMAINE F. JOLIN NIO!! He seems to be a man sprung from himself. jo is quite bashful in a crowd of girls but with a certain one-I don't know. He just keeps on plugging mak- ing each year count at Manchester High. Mr. Tougas' advanced French class is a shining light and Io is one of the stars. Adieu Io ! Bon voyage! MARJORIE L. JONES UMARG1-: Her heart leaps up when she beholds-? Can anyone imagine Marge sitting in a corner all by her lonesome? Not much! She's the Sweetheart of Cen- tral High. Marge is one of the lucky ones in this old world who makes a go of everything she decides to do. She is an honor student, and a royal rooter of M. H. S. Last year Marge took a sudden interest in football. An explanation is unnecessary. VIRGINIA H. JONES Gm , G1NN1E Oh, 'Ginnie' you're a wonder, And when you're old and grey, We'll all say, Yes, by Thunder: You were some girl in your day! Ginnie through her cheerful dispo- sition has gathered friends from all corners of Manchester High School. As a member of the Profile Staff she has assisted in editing the school paper by her diligent and efficient work. She is also a member of the Glee Club and took a prominent part in the operetta. Patience . Although she is going to the far away University of California she will be ever near us. Page Thrrty Two A G L A I A LEAH JOSEPH HIJEEU Music makes the world go 'rounclf' Lee is one of our school musicians. She takes great pleasure in furnishing us music at Assemblies and other school concerts. Dancing seems to be another pleasant pastime for her. VVe, your classmates, who would have liked to have known you better, wish you the best of luck in your future secretarial work. LOUIS A. JOUBERT Louis And he danced, he danced, I say, right well. Louis is very optimistic and the proud possessor of a pair of feet which simply move with the music . Confronted with a math proposition, Louis would be clumbfoundedg but when it con'u:s to dancing, he's got us all beaten. Louis is also a born business man. JOHN KABLIS JoHNNx ' Ambition is a good synonym for John. john has plenty of ambition and is always working. He does not care to mix with everyone but he is one of those boys who holds a friend when he makes one. Anyone with the ambition that John has could not fail, and we are sure that he will not. SEVESTE S. KARATZA HSYLVYY Silence is golden. Sylv is not a great talker but she is right there when it comes to her studies, although she believes in a little fun sometimes. Seveste has not decided what she will do after finishing her Home Economics course of four yearsg but she is bound to do well. A G L A I A Page Thirty Three MOLLY KATZ USMILESH Youth is full of sport. We know Molly is interested in our school but we also find that she shares an interest in Malden High. We are wondering' why, Molly. She has been with us only three and a half years but she has made up for lost time and made these very jolly ones. GERALD KEARNEY I UJERRYH A man by nothing is so well portrayed as by his manners. Jerry is the artistic member of our class. He can draw anything from car- toons to landscapes. He can play the banjo-and grin. He can sing. And he can act. Contrast Slovsky with Mr. Ingals and again with Monsieur Beau- eaire. jerry will go far in anything he tries. FRANK J. KENNEDY Lacs , ULYssEs Let a smile be your umbrella. Frank possesses that rare ability of meeting everyone with a smile. This smile plus his happy-go-lucky nature has awakened the keen admiration of all of his classmates. Frank is another one of our husky good-looking athletes. His thrilling performances on the grid- iron will be long remembered by every- one. MILDRED F. KERSHAW A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world's desire, An opal holds a tiery spark, But a Hint holds fire. Our Mildred is of the ilinty type. How often her fiery and brilliant words have saved a debate for our M. H. S. team. She is an artist too and has been a prize winner in the making of posters. Her talents are many and her success for a brilliant future is assured. Page Thirty Four A G L A I A EDMUND T. KING The Rock of Gibraltar. One can see that Edmund possesses a serious nature. The look of determina- tion bespeaks a quiet firmness. Self confidence will accomplish much if properly controlled and Edmund has the will to do well. MATADY KOROL MAT Knowledge is success. Mata is an excellent student, ranking high in his subjects. He is a true com- panion. A position on the Honor Roll is a mere trifle to Mat , in fact he took three more studies to take up his time. School spirit?- Mat's can't be beaten. 'Tis said that he can shoot baskets too. We expect great things of Mat . HENRY A. LABELLE SENATOR My tongue within my lips I rein, For who talks much, must talk in vain. Henry's tongue murmurs like a bab- bling brook, but always in a convincing manner. He is a debater, and a good speaker. His part in school activities was great and he will be deeply missed by M. H. S.. We do not know what his ambition is but we think that Doyle and Doyle and a few other lawyers would find competition in this coming lawyer. FRANCES H. LE BLANC LE BLANC The glass of fashion, and the mould of form, The observed of all observers. Frances' giggle has been heard for four years at Manchester High School and her happiness has been infectious. She took the leading part in both pro- ductions of the senior play. Dancing is her favorite pastime. Wherever she goes she will always be sure of a good time and of many friends. A G L A I A Page Thwty Fwe VELMA M. LADIEU IAVELQD Velma, a quiet girl whom not every one knows because of her tirst year in M. H. S., is not only a brilliant student but also a clever dancer. She is a mem- ber of the Reception Committee and although she hasr1't decided what she will do in the future we know she will be a success in anything she undertakes. AMEDEE D. LACASSE XVere e'er I go, Pm happy. NVhat more should I ask? Amedee has so conducted himself as to warrant the favorable opinion held by his classmates. An even disposition is clearly evident. Is not this an ad- mirable trait? VVould that more people possessed it! LIONEL D. LAVOIE ULEOIJ A practical youth on business intent. As student athletic manager Leo has had a hard job this year. He took care of all equipment and handled all business deals on the trips. With foot- ball, basketball, and baseball, Leo had only two weeks of vacation. Leo apparently is never angry at anything. MAIDA R. LENEY MAC It's a friendly heart that has many friends. Mads personality and character has won her many friends. It is truc that she is quiet, but she has the distinction of being one of those perfect pals, who always understands. Reading is her hobby, but her chosen vocation is teaching. We know that she will hold as great a place in the hearts of her future students, as she does in the hearts of her classmates. Page Thirty Six A G L A I A WINTFRED M. LEONARD WINNIE Appearances are often deceitful. One might think, by general appear- ances, that Winnie is rather quiet, or shy, when she really isn't at all. Win- nie likes a good time as well as the rest of us. Law is her favorite study CPD but as women lawyers aren't so popular, she plans to be someone's secretary instead. NATHANIEL LONDON IKNATYI 1 You're a better man than I am Gunga-Din. Nathaniel just honored us with his presence this year. We hardly knew he was around because he was so quiet. However, he made the debating squad, and helped Manchester High on to success. You should hear him recite history! There's not much difference between his recitations and Mr. Muz- zey's history book. DOROTHY T. LORD Dom The strength Of twenty men. When opportunity knocks, we can be sure that Dort will open thc door with a smile. We all remember her clever poems that have appeared in the Oracle so frequently. She has a vast amount of school spirit, two enviable dimples, and an appreciative sense of humor. ' KURT S. LUNDH SwEnE His rioaxxzirsation does not show the minute But he strikes the hour very correctly. No one ever disliked Kurt , It is fun to be with anyone as good humored and as optimistic as he. Kurt fairly resides at the Y where he is some sort of swimming expert. Kurt doesn't believe in crossing his bridges before they are constructed. I A G L A I A Page Thrifty Seven PRUDENCE W. MACKISSOCK HPRUDYU We that live to please, must please to live. Prudy is another of our real actors for she took the part of Aunt Julia in the Senior Play most expres- sively. As treasurer of the Maskers, Prudy has given the most eiticient help. She thinks that bobbed hair is going out of fashion. I just wonder when her sailor friend will call for his coat! Well, we wish you all the suc- cess at Radcliit. EDWARD X. MARA acEDrl, c4EDDIE1l Another boy who believes that silence is golden. Mechanical work is what Edward en- joys more than anything else. How- ever, all of his work is well done. As the years go by, we may hear of Ed- ward as engineer or a mechanic of some kind. If we want anything well done, we could do well by calling on Edward. - EDNA G. MARTINSON UEDDIEU A word to the wise is sufficient. When it comes to good detailed reci- tations Edna is right there with her great store of knowledge. Eddie takes interest in all school doings and is an all around good friend and pal. One can always rely on Edna for help. We wish' Eddie the best of luck in all future undertakings. MARY R. MCLANE Away dull care! WVl1at claim hast thou? Everyone recalls the enthusiasm shown by Mary, as the collegiate twin in the senior play, The Goose Hangs High. She finally consented to re- main quiet, long enough to have her picture taken. Happiness will always be hers. Page 'Thirty Eight A G L A I A ELLEN F. MILES Heaven favors the diligent. Here's to Ellen Miles, a good friend to all who know her and have enjoyed pleasant memories with her. Being adept at the business subjects we are as- sured of the best of success for her in the days to come. Her good nature and ability are sure to be found out. GLA DYS L. MILLER Silence is a virtue. Gladys has very little to say, but that does not necessarily mean that she has not anything to say for you'd be sur- prised. We do not know what Gladys' expectations are after leaving school, but whatever she undertakes, we're sure that she will be Zl success. MARION L. MILLER GmNNv , Cine Take her up tenderly Lift her with care, Fashioned so slenzlerly, Young, and so fair. The Maskers and Literary. Club may be proud of Granny . Clie is one of those who was responsible for the success of the Senior play, In scholas- tic standing she is among the leaders. She is always Lucile to everyone and a bosom-friend of all who know her. B. U. will be fortunate to get Cile . DOROTHY R. MOLLER rlD0Tl1 Av:iunt, oh! Shakespeare! I love thee nut! Dot has two big dimples and a win- ning disposition. Wherever there's fun there's Dorothy. VVherever there's Dot there's fun. The teachers all agree she's a good student even if a certain 1'nan's plays do not agree with her. VVe'll always remember her giggle. A G L A I A Page Tfzrrty Nine FRANCIS G. MOLLER FRANK , HARP Greater men than I have lived But I doubt it. On this side, Ladies and Gentlemen, you see two captains and three letter- men! But here does not end Harp's ability. He is a master of the art of making side remarks called bright cracks . His grin can cover his whole face-and usually does. Frank likes Frenchg he is learning to make French Pnns. THOMAS F. MOONEY tlT0M!l A lndy's dream. St. Joseph's High School lost a good man when Tom decided to come to Manchester High School. Tom has many good qualities, among them being his cheerfulness, his business ability, and his athletic ability. Hap Price will have to look a long time to find a third baseman as good as Tom. GORDON E. MOORE UE D Y! There is music in his soul. He looks like an artist. He is one-ri musician. Plays in both the Band and the Orchestra-the cornet. That mouth shows determination. Yes, and the eyes show thoughtfulness. Maybe he's a composer in the making. FRANCIS MORAN Hail to the Chief. The class of l928A has enjoyed the prosperous administration of Francis as President. He has been earnest, con- stant and eager to serve well, those who selected him as their leader. The serv- ice rendered proved the wisdom of the choice. Page Forty AGLAIA ARTHUR J. MOREAU HARTU, u.llIAYOR,, To know him, is to like him. The title prince of good fellows fits Arthur perfectly. His ever obliging manner has caused everyone to like him. After studying, Arthur prefers dancing. He takes a different girl to each social function thus proving variety is the spice of life. Art and his Franklin coupe are staunch companions. JANET M. MORRISEAU CIJILLU O this learning, what I1 thing it is! Janet is a modest, shy maiden who always manages to know the correct answer. We hear she excels in Latin and French- besides being a valuable asset to any history class. Janet is a little above the average student and we expect Keene will welcome her next fall. WALTER S. MOZEK CKMOSEYI' Few can surpass him as a great all-around fellow. As a member of the famous Mozek- Bozek combination, Walter -is well known in basketball circles. His fame in football and other athletics equals his fame on the basketball floor. He has run many successful football dances, which shows that Walter has some business ability. HELEN M. MURPHY My thoughts, real company are to me. We notice a pensive mood has won Helen. She has the serious and even longing expression that indicates thought but a smile is ready to light up her countenance when called upon. Helen is not easily satisfied but has the ability to adapt herself to circumstances. A G L A I A Page Forty One NORA M. MURPHY DINIPLES,', SMn.Es', In each cheek appears zx pretty dimple. Nora is true to her nickname, Smile-s. Her sunny disposition has gained her many friends. She was a member of the Maskers Club and the Debating Squad. She said that she loved them both. The Goose Hangs High would not have been a success if Nora had not been the assistant coach. SAMUEL MUSHLIN SAM Laugh and the world lnughs with you. A villain-not intentionally so, an uneducated social climber named Day- It takes a good actor to play a part so foreign to his own personality. Sam could never push another down to help himself climb, he is too good natured. He is one who loves his fellow men . VVALTER F. O'NEIL' UDINNYU A verile youth, with admirable traits. Everyone knows Dinny , especially in Dave Lamprey's Math classes for there he stars. He is not only profi- cient in Math but also in hand-ball, for he is our foremost hand-ball player. Although usually quiet and sedate, when the situation is provoked, one can al- ways count on hearing from Dinny . CARL OTTERSON AU'rr1e An empty vessel gives the greatest sound. Carl is one of our quiet fellows who says little but knows much. His leisure hours are spent mostly with rod, dog and gun. They say he is quite lucky with the traps, too! It is expected that Carl will take up bookkeeping and ac- counting latcr, and we all wish him the best of luck. If he can keep books as well as keep discipline in a classroom, we all know he will be successful. Page Forty Two AG L AI A MARIAN E. PAGE UPAGEH Cleanliness is next to godlinessf' Although she is tiny she is not a bit timid about letting us know of her pres- ence i11 and about school. We wonder who will be the next victims of the joke column when Page leaves the Oracle staff and we can no longer pront by her learned writings. MABEL V. PAQUETTE BABES Think of the cutest things. VVe who see Mabel daily are assured that work is her favorite sport. Read- ing may be secondary. Mabel certainly shares an interest in school and is sel- dom found guilty of failing to prepare lessons. Don't be lead to think Mabel is solemn, for her bright remarks often cause an uproar even in class. ISABELLE E. PARENT MBELLEU Never judge a book by its cover. We are sure dancing is Belle's favorite pastime. When Isabelle is around we get some jolly laughs and witty remarks. Isabelle is quiet and small but her circle of friends has no limit. We enjoy your company, Isabelle, so why be so unjust and hide yourself from friendly classmates? ELEANOR A. PARFITT HEPPIEH Those clark eyes-so dark and so deep! Eleanor has been called a star of the first magnitude in her studies. She loves a good time but her work never suffers for it. Latin and French are her pet hobbies. She is a member of the French Club, the Literary Club, and the Oracle staff. Success to you, Eleanor! A G L A I A Page Forty Three HELEN M. PARKHURST PAnKY Yours is the charm of calm, good sense. Quiet, studious, and conscientious, Helen is one of our demure, little girls who docsn't make noiseg but when it comes to regular school work, she's right there. Parlay has made many friends among the student body and faculty. We all wish her success. PRISCILLA PARNELL God be praised,' the Pilgrim said, XVho saw the blossoms peer Above the brown leaves, dry and dead, 'Behold our Mayflower here! Priscilla, like her namesake of old Pilgrim stock, has been a flower in our class. She has shown her ability as a writer and as a scholar. Her name has appeared on the honor roll many times during her course at the M. H. S., and she will undoubtedly be among the leaders in the Final averages. FLORENCE W. PEARSON FLosSv Let all things be done decently and in Order. Florence is a quiet, dignified blonde who was never attracted by the bobbecl hair craze. Most of us envy the elli- cient way in which she does everything she undertakes. She has gone through the four years without creating any commotion but has succeeded in making a great many friends. GLADYS G. PEARSON A noble type of good heroic womanhoodf' Gladys has proved to her classmates in M. H. S. that no obstacle is too great for her to plough through in order to get to school. Rain or snow, hail or sleet has not kept her from get- ting into the city from her home in Candia. By the help of her little car she has always made it. She is a quiet unassuming girl but a friend to all. Page Forty Four A G L A I A ARNOLD B. PERKINS UCYU Smooth and calm am I. Arnold is one of these smooth going fellows as he demonstrated in The Goose Hangs High. He is a member of the Maskers and is said to be one of the best actors in the club. The stage may claim Cy when he leaves school, but there is also the possibility of his being an auto mechanic. IDA E. PEROLMAN SHoRTY Be silent and safe. Ida is another quiet girl who is sel- dom heard. Although small of stature, she ploughs away energetically at her studies. Nevertheless, she is a good friend, and we all agree she is a splen- did pal . ARLENE A. POLLARD 'I saw a ship a sailing A sailing on the sea. And oh, it was all laden NVith pretty things for me. 4 Arlene has not been on the briny ocean but she has seen enough waves to make an ordinary person dizzyg but still she goes on doing the marcel for her girl and maybe some of her boy friends. She is always good natured and can never be classed as a grouch. Arlene is sure to succeed if personality counts. THOMAS A. PRICE AATOMJI Life's a jest, and all things show itf I thought so once: and now I know it. Who does not know that tall, auburn- haired fellow, named Price, who comes from Candia? It must be understood that Tom does not ride a hoss to school, but nevertheless we sympathize with him when he has to travel twelve miles to school every morning. Keep on striving, Tom , and you will suc- ceed, I A G L A I A Page Forty Frue HAROLD R. PUTNAM HBENH 'Tis worry, not work, that kills men. Ben is an experienced soda-jerker and what not. It is said that he is the class authority on repairing automobiles. When he is not absorbed in studying he spends his leisure hours in repairing his car. He does not devote all his time to the study of these phenomena, how- ever, for it is known that he has a fairer pursuit. We, the class of '28A, anticipate big things of Ben . THELMA D. RANDALL IKTHELV! A merry heart maketh a cheerful counte- nance. Thelma is another quiet girl who has studied hard these past four years. She is sometimes called Smiles , a good name for her because she is a happy-go- lucky girl who always has a smile and a pleasant word for everyone of the many friends she has made. LOUISE E. REMINGTON Reine One thing is forever good: That one thing is Success. Louise made her high school course in three and one-half years. Whenever there were any lessons to be done, Louise was always prepared. She didn't believe in just getting by . She was a member of the Literary Club and the French Club. GERTRUDE L. RESNICK HGERTIEU I scream for ice cream. For she's a jolly good classmate are good words to use for a description of Gertie . Genie seems to keep busy with all the activities in and about school. Seeing how Gertie enjoys trips and treats downtown we hope that she gets many such times in the future. Page Forty Six A G L A I A MADELINE S. RICHARDSON mn Full of wise saws and modern instances. If you want to have a good time, just become one of Madeline's many friends. Dancing and hair curling are her spe- cialties. She is a member of that much envied society the dumb duo . Ask her the way to win the men teachers' hearts and, consequently, get an Al RUTH M. RICHARDSON NRUTHIEQ A youth to whom was given, So much of earth, so much of heaven. Ruth came to Manchester High School in her junior year from Pinker- ton Academy. At first she was rather home sick for her former school. She came to like us better-as well as we liked her, I hope, No one ever saw Ruthie without a broad smile on her face. BEATRICE M. RIORDAN UBEEH Lively, merry, full o' pep, sporty Beatrice is easily one of the most popu- lar girls of our class, perhaps because of her pretty curls. Don't you just envy them, girls? VVe hear that Bee can cook as well as dance. Stand in line, boys! GEORGE C. ROBINSON KIJOEU My lips are virgin to a maiden's kiss. Joe has caused much heart-Hutter- ing among the fairer sex and is very popular with the young ladies of the class. We all feel sure that besides popularity he has brains: in fact, it is doubtful if the chain stores could run were it not for his help during the afternoons. A G L A I A Page Forty Seven JOHN F. ROCHE FRANK My talents run in many different directions. Although Frank has been with us but one year, he is one of the well known members of the class. As a stage manager, he did a good job for our Senior Play. Frank played baseball and basketball while he at- tended St. Joseph's High School, and was out for our teams. ADA R. SAN DER A merry heart that laughs at care. Ada always has a smile for everyone. We hear that she is deeply interested in elocutiong and that her one ambition is to become an elocution teacher, so perhaps some day she may be our second Miss Sawyer . We wish you all the luck in the world. LOUIS A. SARRE IILOUY! 'Twas said that he could read and cipher too. In class Lou even tries to conceal his very great wisdom-beneath a retir- ing manner. So far Lou seems to have evaded the fair sex-but you can never tell, he might change in the fu- fure. With all his winning qualities and pleasing personality, we all know Lou will be missed by M. H. S. MADELINE K. SAWYER UMIMII1 It's niee to be natural, if you're naturally nice. Three guesses, who is it. She's just about tive feet two a11d everybody likes her. We see her playing her violin in the Orchestra every Wednesday morn- ing. She is a prominent member of the Literary Club. Why it's Mimi of course, that was easy. Madeline wants to be a teacher and we guarantee she will, if she really wants to. Page Forty Eight A G L A I A ORA Z. SHAKA UCOOKIEU l'Tl1CI'E,S a mischievous little twinkle in your eye. Cookie , with her ever ready smile is liked by us all. She is very clever finishing her high school course in three and one-half years. just what Ora in- tends to do after leaving school we do not knowg but whichever road she takes she is bound to be successful. MARY W. SHAW SHAW I have a passion for the name of Mary, For once it was a magic sound to me, And still it half calls up the realms of fairy, NVhen I beheld what never was to be. It is thought that Mary has been especially favored by the divinities be- cause of her good looks, her sweet manner, and her peppy spirit. She has always been at the top scholastic- ally, too. Mary was captain of the girls' basketball team in her senior year, and took part in the Senior play. HELEN M. SHEA IIKIDQJ I't is good To lengthen to the last, a sunny mood. Did you ever see Helen serious? She has as her hobby-talking. Neverthe- less, Helen's report cards are the envy of many. We hear that she is going to Vassar. We hope that she has as many friends and as good a time there as she has had in high school. FRANCES E. SHEDD Silence has more eloquence than words. Frances is one of our quiet girls. She hails from the sticks but nevertheless she is hardly ever tardy after walking about three miles to school. Her ambi- tion is unknown to us but with her pleasing disposition she is sure to be missed by many friends of the class of '2SA. Good luck and happiness to you. A G L A I A Page Forty Nme EVELYN E. SHOWERS Blue are her eyes as the fairy flax Her cheeks like the dawn of day. Evelyn is the pianist for our class and she surely can play the piano. She has brought showers of luck to our class in having this accomplishment. She has indeed had to go some to accompany this illustrious class in all their musical endeavors. Evelyn is also an artist and a good scholar. Her talents are unlimited. JENNIE SIDERIS HJENNIEH Happy go lucky. Jennie does not believe in taking anything too seriously. She is one of our good nalured girls, who has never been heard to say an ill word of any one. As yet, we don't know what she intends to do after finishing her com- mercial course but we wish her all the luck in the world. FRANCES R. SILBER A quiet maid, but wondrous wise. Quiet CPD yes. One never can tell what Frances is thinking about, but we are quite sure that it is her music. Frances, besides being an excellent student, is a pianist of marked ability. After graduating, she plans to study further, and become a teacher of music. That your path through life will always he one sweet song is our one sincere wish for you, Frances. WILLIAM R. SILVERMAN BILL Eat, drink and be merry, that's Bill. Bill is always on the lookout for a good time. Athletics seem to be the iavorite pastime that Bill enjoys, especially basketball. They say that Bill is quite a sheik, at least he is always ,well dressed. VVe wish you luck in whatever you undertake after leaving school. Page Fifty A G L A 1 A ELEANOR SIVIART SMAR'rY On with the dance. Smarty is one of the highlights of our class. Her charming personality has won the admiration of all her class- mates. The title vice-president and Eleanor seem to have something in common. Eleanor is vice-president of the class and vice-president of the Maskers. Dancing is Eleanor's chief pastime. ERN EST SMITH At least, ru ny. Ernest has now won the reward in store for all who will work. May he always enjoy the fruits of his labors during the years in M. H. S. He has the best his friends could wish. CATHERINE STANCZAK RUSSIAN PRINCESS A princess at heart if not by birth. Those who know and understand Catherine hold her friendship very dear. She is gifted, it seems, in everything, but her greatest gift lies in her ability as a writer. Catherine has taken a great interest in Literary work. Who knows but some day we will be reading some of the great works of the Rus- sian authoress, Catherine Stanczakf' LUCY H. SULLIVAN SULLY A heart as true as steel. Sully with her sunny disposition has a smile for everyone, thus making herself so popular among her class- mates. Lucy intends to be a teacher after finishing her commercial course, and we know she will surely be suc- cessful. A G L A I A Page Fzfty One DANIEL A. SUNDEEN 1:DANls A little nonsense, now and then Is relished by the wisest men. A four-letter word to describe Dan Sundeen-- grin . Dan has the un- usual ability of always seeming cheer- ful. Another art he has acquired is that of appearing to take his school- work easily and at the same time bring- ing in 90's. Dartmouth is to be honored. EILEEN G. SUNLIN SUNSHINE The glass of fashion, the mold of form. Everybody knows Sunshine . Her attractiveness, and winning ways only help to add more names to her list of friends. During Christmas vacation, Eileen acted as sales-girl at Llewellyn's1 It is said that the company did more business that special season than ever before. No wonder, with Sunshine there to attract customers, most of whom, we can guess, were of the oppo- site sex. BARBARA D. SUTHERLAND Bmw A happy soul, that all the way To heaven hath a summer's day. Barb is the second member of the dumb duo. As studying does not seem to be' her favorite hobby, we wonder just what it is. She always seemed able to have a good time. Perhaps some of us would like to learn the trick. Our wish for her is eternal happiness. EARL W. THOMPSON Tl1ere's nothing as becomes a man A modest stillness and humility. We rather suspect that Earl will some day be a great man. He has the ap- pearance of one who even while talking is really thinking along distant lines, such as inventions or discoveries. He may in fact become a second Woodrow Wilson. Page Fifty Two A G L A IA ALICE B. THORNTON KKAL77 I't's nice to be natural. Al certainly is natural. If there ever was anyone who had personality it's our dear Alice. She will be well remembered as a faithful study room teacher in room 11 sixth period. She intends to be a nurse some day, and with her pleasing personality and heav- enly eyes many will there be who will make it their hobby to become sick. FRANK J. THORP NFRANKIEH A man who neither slouched nor pattered But planted his steps as if each step mattered. It might sound very complimentary to our class that Frank dropped back from '27 purposely. But we rather suspect it was track that attracted him. Frank is a quarter-miler, but he can place in a half-mile or a two-twenty when he has to. People with strong nerves sometimes accept a second ride in Frank's Hudson. LURA E. TITUS KKLU3! Her modest looks, a eottageqmight adorni Sweet as the primrose beneath the thorn. A wistful blonde who lives up to her reputation is Lu . She sang one of the leading roles in the operetta. Pa- tience which derived much of its mag- netic touch from Lu's efforts. ROBERT T. TOBIN . HBOBU Curly hair and a winning smile. Did you ever see a cuter smile? What wonderful teeth! And those eyes! These are some remarks made by the fair sex after seeing Robert. May he have the same kind of luck and the same number of friends when he goes to Portland to live and then later to Holy Cross college. A G L A I A Page Fifty Three EDITH TUFTS Modest and shy. Edith has never much to say, although she always greets everyone with her everlasting smile. She is a. rare modest young lady. Just what she intends to do after leaving high school we do not knowg but whatever she undertakes to do, she will do well. GERMAINE E. TURCOTTE UCHERRYH Modest and shy am I. Germaine's nickname should have been Chere , for she certainly is a dear , even though many of us haven't had the chance to find it out. Cherry is petite, modest and shy, but even so, she appreciates a good time. Germaine hasn't told us what she intends to do after graduation, but with such a win- ning personality, she cannot help but succeed. GILBERT L. TUSON HGILLIEN Rough and ready. Gillie was one of the class's foot- ball stars having played on the cham- pion 1927 football team. Gillie is a plugger and he will surely reach his goal, whate'er it is. As a good fellow and a great companion, there are very few like Gillie . As the years go by, may we hear from Gillie as a great college football star. EDWARD B. UPTON EDDIE , HLIYERSH The ultimate in comedians With his banjo Eddie has contrib- uted his share of music to the world. He dislikes studiesg likes vacationsg admires girls. He is not a bit lazy, just careful. As a comedian, Eddie makes Wallace Beery look like an amateur singer. If the girls don't get Eddie , the Keith Circuit ought to. Page Fifty Four AGLAIA HECTOR U. VINCENT IKHECH Rest First, then work. Hector is a happy-go-lucky chap tak- ing things as they come and not-abso- lutely not !-letting anything worry him, especially his school work. However, he has proved himself a good trailic otiicer and has been excellent company during his four years here. FLORENCE G. WAGNER UFLOSSIEH Small but sweet. Flossie is small but very sweet and gentle. She seems to find her way to everything without the least bit of dilli- culty. Even though not having an idea what she intends to do in the future, we wish her all the luck in the world. HAROLD G. WAITE K llTUBBYll There is no theme more plentiful to scan Than is this glorious goodly frame of man. Tubby is probably one of the best known members of our class. Football, basketball, acting and singing are among his accomplishments, and it is true that he once tried track-behind closed doors. His humor helped make him a valuable asset to the football team, and his tact made him an excellent president of the Hi-Y club. FREDERICK N. WALKER, IR. Faso He knows people-and he likes them. Tall, handsome, good-natured,-what more can anyone ask for? Fred likes movies, dances, math, people, and the Hi-Y Club. We see him everywhere, which doesn't mean that he neglects his Work. We expect from his activities with the N. E. S. R. E. that he will be- come a minister, or at least a deacon. A G L A I A Page Fifty Five ELVA P. WARD UTINYH, HSHORTYH A smile for every one. Elva is a diminutive girl. Her smile will certainly be missed when she leaves M. H. S. Her winning ways will surely win her a place in this world. Stenography and swimming seem to be the two things Elva enjoys most. She may be seen in the summer time swimming at Nutt's Pond. DOROTHY C. VVARREN MDOT!! Laugh and the world laughs with you. Dot is a brilliant example in swim- ming, her favorite sport. Everywhere she goes, Dot is sure to be hailed by a number of friends who are rewarded hy her sunny smile. The school will miss her pleasant personality but others will benefit by it in the profession she will follow. HAZEL M. WEBSTER Nothing is worth doing that is not worth doing well. VVhatever Hazel starts out to do, she does it and does it well. We do not know just what she intends to do after leaving school but after taking a four years' course in Home Economics, she is bound to make a good --- for JOHN J. WHALEN IonNNv VVhen he is good, he's very, very good-? Everyone knows John, teachers and all, but perhaps they, the teachers at least, have cause to. Some people are just naturally mischievous. Johnny , we hear, is a shark in History, but we won't mention English. Don't be sur- prised if you see johnny at the Arcadia every night next summer. We hear he's some stepper. Page Fifty Stx A G L A I A JAMES R. WHEELER URAYU A jolly good fellow: full of fun. Ray and his Star are familiar tig- ures around M. H. S., VV. H. S. CPD and surrounding towns. He will be greatly missed, not only by the many friends he is leaving behind, but also, by teachers in charge of Detention Room. However, Ray has his good points. If you must have proof, ask his many lady friends. FLOYD L. WHITE UYVHITEYU In an ocean of dreams without a sound. Whitey is a likable member of our class. Although he has frequently played tricks on many of his mates, yet he has such a way about him that no one can hold a grudge against him. He is the champion spit ball thrower, too. Whitey is our authority on insurance. As a matter of fact he spends his after- noons working for the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Company. The class of 'ZSA wishes that he will be sitting in the president's chair some day. DOROTHY M. WHITING nD0Tn' :tRED!y No frown shall mar her countenance. Dot says little, yet we know that she will, at least, make a try at Over- coming the biggest obstacles in life. Dot usually has a look of determina- tion on her face which means that she is thinking, and which also foretells that when she gets through thinking some- thing will be accomplished. We do not know her aim, but we all know her undertakings will meet success. DOROTHY M. WHITTEN ltDOTrv As sweet a maid as e'er you'd find. Dorothy is an all-around girl. She likes parties and good times, but she does not neglect her studies-much. We can't say that she is always quiet in school. She does make it known that she is around. She lives up to that quotation about good things coming in small packages. A G L A I A Page Fifty Seven BERNICE M. WIGGIN UBUNNYH Actions speak louder than words. Bernice is a very quiet girl and a very good student. For instance: the Eng- lish teacher asks a question. For the next few minutes everyone holds his breath until-she calls on Bernice. What a relief! We all know she can answer it. The best of luck for you Bunny . ETHEL M. WILLARD B1LL1E, HCUDDLESD A little nonsense now and then ls relished by the wisest men. If you want to enjoy yourself, just talk to Ethel. She is a sure cure for the blues . You should see her rolls- royce -one of these ten dollar kind. Ethel proved to be a very good sales- man as those who studied in room three know. Qui' wish for her is happiness. EMILY D. WILLETT 14EMJ! Love understands love, it needs no words. Em is much different from the rest of us. Instead of going to college, or being '21 secretary, she has chosen keep- ing a cottage built for two as her vocation for life. Who's the lucky fellow? That's telling, just now, but it at least explains Em's interest in Lakeport. Here's luck, Em l THELMA G. WILLOUGHBY c:THEL!: A good disposition is more valuable than gold. Thelma is known and liked by many on account of her sweet disposition. She is always seen smiling no matter what has gone wrong. Her one ambi- tion is to become a Home Economics teacher and perhaps in the near future she will be back to her dear Alma Mater. Page Fifty Eight A G L A I A LILLIAN WOOLF ul-MILU What am I here for if not to talk? Upon meeting Lil in the corridor, one might think she was carrying a supply of books for all of her classes. So she is, hut it is merely her own sup- ply. VVe often wonder how Lil does it, hut it seems to come naturally to her to he studious. However, she shows us that it pays by her clever discussions, :md her marks. If you crave for knowledge, just ask Lil , BETHESDA E. YOUNG BETH Short in stature, blonde in hair. Beth may be small, but there is nothing lacking in intelligence. She is an honor student, a prominent member of the Girls' Glee Club, and Literary Club. Beth is a fun-loving,witty, and attractive individual, which does not at all lessen the demand of her presence ut many good times. We all agree that what will be a loss for M. H. S. when she graduates, will be a great gain for some other school. f N COMFIENCEVIENT i O s vw qv Ein :QQ VEAFEIBEI 1 928A 51 ? 2- E2 g .-if . 22 2 1'1 'l'I 2- i 1-f UH xi, S -K 'Q lv f Page Sixty A G L A I A C L A S S ' 2 8 A Esse .Quam Viderif' fTo be rather than to seemj President Francis Moran VicefPresident Secretary Eleanor Smart Marjorie Jones Treasurer Gerald Kearney Stewards Frank Kennedy Doris Chalmers George Robinson Roderick Cote Marjorie Jones COMMITTEES , Banquet Robert Tobin Gordon Moore Arlene Pollard Edward Barry Ora Shaka Louis Sarre Douglas Cairns Walter Mozek Alice Gould Harold Hawkins-Ch Reception John Buffum Mary Shaw Marian Page Helen.Murphy Sefton Abbott Alice Thornton Velma Ladieu Dorothy Warren Harold Waite Clifton Cody-Ch.

' When we've toiled up the trail of life's hard, narrow way And have struggled to keep to the right, we will pause in the eve of a care-laden day, When the rising moon lightens the night. We will say as we pause, Alma Mater, so true! Your counsel we still carry ong A Through the blackness of night, we are following you To a glorious awakening at dawn. NVC will look to the East, and the slow beaming day, And we'll banish the future's dire dread, For our lirm trust in thee who hast shown us the way Makes the path stretch more smoothly ahead. 'Pa At this turn in the road, our school days are o'er, And we pledge thee our praise and our loveg Here we'1l toil ne'er again, as we've toiled oft of yore But we'll trust in all help from Above. Tho' the way is concealed, and the future we dread, Toward the goal we will strive with our load, And success may perhaps in the long years ahead Crown our work at the end of the road.

The play was very successful and it created a great deal of interest and enthusiasm among the students and general public. The Maskers offered a prize of twentyfiive dollars to the cast presenting the play rated the better by the three judges. The cast seemed to be evenly matched but nevertheless the judges decided to award the prize to the Saturday evening cast which we are proud to say was composed of many Senior A's. In fact, seventeen of the twentyfive actors were Senior A's. The story is of a modern family composed of ,Mr. and Mrs. Ingals, their twin son and daughter, who appear to be only frivolous collegiates, but prove their worth in the end, and Hugh who is engaged to Dagma Carroll. Mrs. Bradley, or Granny, the mother of Mrs. Ingals, gives the play a few touches of real humor. The first cast is the one which won the award.

The purpose of the club is to produce a high class of plays for the school and city, to stand back of any dramatic event in the school, and to give its members an insight into the better things in stage life. Regular meetings of the organization are held the second Tues' day of each month. At these meetings the members present one act plays which have been coached by some member of the club. This year the Maskers for their annual play presented Booth Tarkington's three act play Monsieur Beaucairef' In this, the Maskers reached the pinnacle of their ability. On the night of this production the Maskers were able to dedicate to the school a new velour curtain. Only with the generous aid of the Athletic Council, the Classes of 1928 A and B, Senate and House, prize winning cast of the Senior play, M. H. S. Orchestra, and the Oracle was this possible. Most of the success of the club is due to its able coach and director, Miss Marion Sawyer. Page Se'uentyfSix A G L A I A 1 A G L A IA Page Seventy'Seven THE ORCHESTRA FOR .many years M. H. S. has had an orchestra, but never has it been so large. It is now one of the greatest and most important organizations in the school, students of all classes being allowed to take part. The orchestra may be heard almost every Wednesday morning at assembly, and occasionally, at this time, serves as the main feature of entertainment. The last program of this' sort received much favorable comment from students and teachers, ' Many times the orchestra is called upon to play for activities outside of school,-sometimes at conventions, theatres, banquets, at events held at P. A. H. S., such as Commander Byrd's lecture, and always at school plays presented by the diff ferent organizations and classes. Mr. McAllister, to whom the greatest part of the credit for the success of the orchestra should be given, has made it possible for many members to attend musical programs of im' portance at Bostonq The orchestra will lose, through graduation, the following people: Henry LaBelle, Elizabeth Hartman, Leah Joseph, Gordon Moorq Earle Thompson, and Madeline Sawyer, Page SeventyfEigh1: A G L A I A THE FRENCH CLUB DURING the first semester of school the Cercle Francaise had as its oflicers the following people: President A Henry LaBelle Vice'President Josette Godin Treasurer Elva. Ward Those taking third year French the second semester were all considered as members of the club. Two outstanding events of the year were a debate on the prohibition question and a bridge party. Under the auspices of this Cercle, of which Mr. Tougas is faculty director, Camille Girourard, soloist of Boston, and Arthur Moll, pianist, of Cambridge, two well-known radio entertainers, presented a program at assembly on February 1. The group of songs included French, Italian, German and English ones. A G L A I A Page SeventyfNine DIE DEUTSCHE VEREIN , fThe German Clubj DIE Deutsche Verein is one of the most interesting organif zations in the school. This club, unlike other clubs, has no officers. Every two weeks a meeting is held at the home of one of the members. At these meetings all the conversation is carried on in German. Plays and sketches are given at each meeting. In order to belong to the club, one must have com' pleted three semesters of German. The success of the club is due mostly to its able adviser, Miss Russell. Page Eighty A G L A 1 A A G L A 1 A Page EightyfOnc LITERARY CLUB ABOUT the best known and oldest society of M. H. S. is the Literary Club organized seven years ago by Miss Sheridan. It is also one of the honor societies of the school. Juniors and Seniors with an average of eighty percent in English are eligible for membership. Although the chief aim of the club is to incite interest in literature, the members also arrange a pleasant social program for each meeting. At the Senior assembly, the club awards honor pins to its most loyal members. Plays are frequently given. This year, Miss Everett arranged a series of contests covering the work. In each contest, the highest scorer received an attractive prize. The club organization is as follows: President Dorothy Cressy . VicefPresident Zilla Gordon Secretary Ruth jones Treasurer Elizabeth Newton Advisors Misses Everett and Shannon Seniors-Florence Barrett, Clare Bresnahan, Mary Brooks, Stella Chmiel, Louise Chase, Dorothy Cressy, Velma Erickson, Zilla Gordon, Rosmund jerauld, Lucille Miller, Priscilla Par' nell, Louise Remington, Beatrice Riordan, Catherine Stanczak, Madeline Sawyer, Helen Shea, Bethesda Young, Lucy Sullivan. Page Eightyffwo A G L A I A A G L A I A Page Eightyffhree T H E G L E E C L U B THE Manchester High School Glee Club is composed of some of the school's best singers. This organization ranks as one of the most important of the school's activities. Once each year the Glee Club presents an operetta. Many will recall the operetta Patience by Gilbert and Sullivan, which proved a splendid success. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday afternoon but since the club has increased so rapidly the freshmen who are called Minnesingers rehearse on a different day. The girls wear white dresses with green ties and the Minnesingers wear the same kind of dresses with red ties. Occasionally the Glee'Club gives a program for assembly. Our director is Mr. Fisher, who is well liked by all and aids the club members in promoting the welfare of the organization. The oilicers are: President Marion Lathe Secretary Rosmond Ierauld Treasurer Prudence McKissock Librarian Gloria Peterson We hope the Glee Club will continue as in the past, to maintain the fine reputation it has made. Page Eighty'Four A G L A I A CONGRESS THE Congress of M. H. S. Central is a comparatively new organization. It consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is an organization for the juniors and seniors and the House of Representatives is for the fresh' men and sophomores. The Senate holds its meeting every Monday afternoon in room 8. The purpose of this organization is to aid debating in the school and to enable its members to formulate and say what they think is right. The meetings are both interesting and educational. Important everyday subjects are discussed. The membership is limited to eighteen members. The oiicers of the Senate are: Henry Labelle President Nicholas Xanthaky Clerk Matady Korol Treasurer Malcolm Russell Sergeantfat-Arms The House of Representatives is organized for the same purpose as the Senate. The House of Representatives meets every Wednesday afternoon in room 8. The oihcers of the House are: Clesson Duke Speaker Constantin Karaberis Speaker pro tem. Vincent Choate Clerk Cleon Duke Custodian Samuel Rosenberg Sergeantfat-Arms The advisers of both organizations are Mr. Pirnie, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Hartwell. Once a month the two organizations have a joint meeting. During the last year, Congress put on a very interesting mock trial, known as People vs. Sockem and Regrettif' A G L A I A Page Eightyfliwe DEBATING SQUAD THIS year, our debating squad under the direction of Coach Freedman has achieved a singular honor by being admitted to the National Forensic League. The league is an honor society for debaters and has chapters throughout the whole United States. The oilicers of the local chapter are as follows: President Clare Bresnahan VicefP1esident Nathaniel London 'Treasurer Nora Murphy Honorary members Thelma Kittredge Samuel Sheinfeld Monira Saigh The league awards four degrees of merit, honor, excellence, and distinction, also, and honor key. This year the school presented these keys to the debaters. The question for debate chosen by the New Hampshire League was as follows: Resolved, That the Phillippines should be given complete independence. Manchester's squad scored a 2-1 victory over Sanborn, lost 2'1 to Concord, and defeated Nashua 3f0. A special feature was introduced in the form of an inter' class debate on the question. Resolved, That athletics are over- emphasized in American colleges. Nine of the faculty acted as judges. The Seniors defeated the Juniors by a 6f3 score. Seniors prominent in debating this year were Nora Murphy, Mildred Kershaw, Clare Bresnahan, Henry LaBelle, and Nathaniel London. Page EightyfSix I A G L A I A PROFILE HIS is the third year that the Profile has been in circuf lation. A glance at its subscription list shows that its popularity has increased and that the majority are interested enough to buy a copy. The Profile is edited by the journalism classes. Each journalism class in turn edits the paper, thereby changing the staff every issue. In this way, a greater variety of style and copy is used. The students voluntarily write editorials, adverf tisements, and news, besides managing the business end. The paper is an attractive four page edition. The first page is devoted to the important news and to special feature articles. The second and third pages are devoted to editorials, society, original poetry, and humor. The fourth page is dedif cated exclusively to sport. We hope that the same interest in the Profile will continue.

Berlin was defeated rather easily 45 to 0. Many of the subs saw action. Our team was especially good on line plunging. l Worcester High came north with a big reputation, but some neat Manchester passing put them in their place to the tune of 18 to 0. Columbus Day saw the delegation from Lowell beaten 19 to O by our line rushing. The game was not as onefsided as the score, however. The game at Concord came within half a minute of being a scoreless tie. After four unsuccessful attempts, the boys finally completed a forward pass over the goal line. A good portion of the inhabitants' of Malden appeared October 29. They saw a great game of football but were disappointed in the outcome which was, M. H. S. 7, Malden O. After two weeks of hard practice the team was ready for Brockton who had beaten us the previous year. The game was offensive on both sides. Once a series of passes brought Brock' ton a touchdown, the only score against us for the season. Using some new plays and plenty of push the team forced their way down the Held twice for touchdowns, The score was 14 to 7. We next invaded Waltham. The game was not as good an example of fast football as the Brockton game, but the result, 12 to O, secured for us the New England Championship title. Thanksgiving day the 1927 team wound up its career by defeating West Side 32 to 0. The game was by no means a walk-away. Both teams fought hard until the final whistle was blown. The following lettermen will be graduated: Frank Moller, Frank Kennedy, Harold Waite, Gilbert Tuson, and Walter Mozek. Page Ninetyffwo A G L A I A BASKETBALL L-JNTIL the very last game the basketball team came through their schedule with a clean slate. They showed snappy team-work from the start as well as accurate goal shooting. As a result they built up big scores. In almost every game the team turned in between 30 and 40 points while the opponents scored only about 15. New Hampton, Lawrence, Ports' mouth, Franklin, Concord, and Beverly fell successively, some of them twice, before the rush of the Green and White. March 3 they played Arlington whom they had beaten once in a close game. In the irst quarter Arlington took 14 points before our team got started. This was too great a lead for the team and although they fought hard, they were beaten 33 to 18. At the State Tournament the team first played Claremont whom they defeated rather easily. The next day was an off clay for the whole team. They were beaten by Berlin who in turn fell before Franklin whom they had already beaten twice. GIRLS' BASKETBALL ' I 'HE girls finished their schedule with an even average, but their record shows constant improvement. January 13 they played Concord a 30 to 30 tie. The game was exciting till the last minute. A week later they were beaten 5' 4 to 10 by the West Side. January 28th Laconia def feated them 33 to 31 in a game as exciting as the one with Concord. A second game with Concord was called- off, but the girls got their chance to avenge the other two defeats. The second game with Laconia ended, Manchester 34, Laconia 23. Febru' ary 24th the team beat West Side 33 to 16 in a fast game. A G L A I A Page Ninety'Five TENNIS THE tennis team defied the bad weather this spring by pracf ticing in the gym and on Harry Coldwe1l's concrete courts. Due to unusually bad weather, four meets were postponed, two with Lowell and two with Stearns Academy. The team beat New Hampton 5' to O on the Cygnet courts. Charles Tobey, Robert Leeman, and Theodore Carter played the singles matches. Theodore Carter and Robert Estes, and Charles Tovey and Douglas Cairns were the doubles teams. Our boys won every set but one. A G L A I A Page NinetyfSeven BASEBALL IT LOOKS after seven games have been played as if M. H. S. will have another successful team. The baseball team has been doing wonders. May 5 they opened their season by beating Sanborn Seminary 6 to 4. The game was an exciting one with the lead shifting from one side to the other. Hokanson showed some snappy pitching. May 8 the team defeated West Side 13 to 2. Many of the subs saw action. Next the boys tackled Methuen and with some hard hitting piled up a score of 11 to 2. Frank Moller hit a homer with the bases filled. May 16 Malden fell before the Green and White 10 to 4. Here it was Hokanson's turn to hit a home run. The two-year string of victories of which Lowell was so proud was broken when our team played them. Our boys were playing perfect ball, but so was Lowell. In the eleventh inning Russell Henry hit a two bagger with the bases loaded, making the final score '5 to 2. The second game with West Side seemed like playing a different team. The boys had a hard time beating them '7 to 5'. Howard Wilson was the star of the Central team. Concord is the only team which has proved superior to the Green and White, with a 6 to 3 victory. Three games remain on the schedule, Dover, Haverhill and the annual faculty game. Page Ni'netyfEight A G L A I A A G L A I A Page Ni11efy'Nme TRACK MAY 15 at Derry the team opened their season by defeat' ing Pinkerton Academy and Manchester West Side. The team proved to be well balanced by placing men in every event but one, and taking 8 out of 13 first places. At Durham the team placed second to Berlin. Bussie Jones was our high scorer, winning both dashes. The team took 37 points in 9 events. May 19 at Lowell our team placed third. There seemed to be two separate meets, one between Lowell and Lawrence, who make track their big sport, running all year round, and one between Manchester, Haverhill and Methuen for third place. The three mile relay broke the tie with Haverhill and won the third place for us. The team beat Beverly 46 1f3 to 30 2f3 in the worst kind of weather. Fifty yards of the track was entirely hidden by water two inches deep. We were deprived of a great many points by the fact that the pole vault, the hammer, discus, and javelin throws, and the high and low hurdles, events in which we were strong, were not included in the meet. This was Beverly's first defeat in two years.

BOY'S COMPOSITION The goose is a low, heavy'set bird, composed of meat and feathers. His head rests on one end and he sits on the other. He cannot sing much on account of the dampness in the moisture in which he lives. There ain't no between to his toes, and he carries a toy balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. A goose has two legs, and they are set so far back on his running gear that they come pretty near missing his body. Some geese when they get big are called ganders. Ganders don't have to set or hatch, but just loaf, eat, and go swimming. If I was a goose I'd rather be a gander. - AGLAIA A G L A I A Page One Hundred Three TUNE U Page One Hundred Four A G L A I A -I u 1 H E .1 .1 .
