If you didn't talk so fast in class, Alex , you'd give the rest of us a better chance. Paper is furnished in class, anyway, even if it is hard to find it in the main room sometimes. Best o' luck' in whatever you do next year., FLORICE MOSHER Flossie In maiden meditation fancy free. We'd like to know you better, Flossie , but half a year is rather a short time. It was their loss and our gain when you came to us from far away Maine. At Norridgewoek High School Florice was Treasurer 1 and 2, and Secretary 8 and 4. LOUISE STIEG t:Lidn Truth and honor, freedom and courtesy. Now, Louise, don't get too noisy when school is over. We hope that your jitney to work won't break down though you certainly had good ex- ercise walking 'home from school. Senior Play 4g Luncheon 4. EMMA TI-IARAU 'iEnima Herself a fairer flower. Emma, we hope you don't lose those curls when you go out into the cruel world. If you come back without them we'd never recognize you. What will you do when you have the giggles and Reata isn't there to run around the square with you? Senior Play 4: Lunch Committee 4. Renta A perfect woman. nobly planned To warn, to comfort, and command. When there's work to be done, Reata'll do it: When them-e's fun to begin, Reata'll help with a grin: YVhen honors are given, Reat.a's there to receive 'em So our best wishes and luck To the little girl with lots of pluck. Treasurer 2, 3: Secretary 33 President 4: Jun- ior Prom Committee 3: Senior Play 4: Senior Lunches 43 Junior Play Committee 3: Advertising Manager of Farmington Student 2: Assistant Editor 3: Class Editor 4: Salutatorian. ALLAN WATSON zcxvatxr Whose armour is his honest thought And simple truth his utmost skill. Reliable, that's Allan's middle name. Whether it's for school athletics or class activities he's always there with the goods. Some day he'1l be 'Yarsity manager for Yale, then Harvard will have to watch her colors. The Up-River Town atmosphere seems to agree with Watson since his Washington trip. Senior Play 4: Basketball Manager 4: Base- ball Manager 4: Washington Trip Committee 4: Athletic Editor for Farmington Student 4: Dance Orchestra -lg Baseball 4. ROGER WILSON XViley An honest man's the noblest work of God. Keep that merry twinkle in your eye, Roger, and you'll never grow old. W ho'11 play the school song for us next year? We'll surely miss our jazzy pianist who makes the notes fly.

MARIE BEISSNER Diario Kind hearts are more than coronets. .By her faithful work and obliging manner, Marie will win her way wherever she goes. Food Sale Committees 4: Senior Play 43 Senior Lunches 4. JOHN BOWLER Jackie Brevity' is the soul. of wit. Jackie is anxious to travel during forced vacations through Mississippi and Louisiana in the Flood regions. We hope he'll bring back a favor- able report but it must be typed. There'll be one bright light at Holy Cross when Jackie gets there. President 8: Baseball 4. MADELINE BOWLER Mad h The music of the laughing lip, the luster of the eye. Madeline shines in dramatics and we'll look for her name in the twinkling lights of Broadway, although she says she plans to be a nurse. Her favorite flower is the buttercup. Junior Playg Senior Play. ELMER CROSS lcAnd3y1r I dare do all that may become a man, Who dares do more is none. Cheer up, Andy, the worst may never come. Every cloud has a silver lining, they say, but you may find one with gold after you get to that electrical school. We all hope you will. Sh- not so loud. President Athletic Association 4, Vice-President 4: Baseball 8, 4: Senior Play. JOHN DILLON Jack Ideal manhood closed in-.real man l J ack will become a great business man some day.

Chairman of Junior Play Committee 3 3 Chair- man of Junior Prom Committee 8: Senior Play Committee 4: Basketball 43 Vice-President 2: Senior Play 45 Secretary and Treasurer 4: Mana- ger of the Washington Trip 4. ANNA FLOOD Hannah is Grace was in all her steps, heaven in .her eye, In every ge ture dignity and love. Q Best of success to Anna, who plans- to attend Bay Path next year. Perhaps she'll take a course in advertising in order to assist the manager. Senior Playg Senior Lunches. . ALETA FULLER Late S The mirth and fun .grew fast and furious. I wonder if Aleta's sketches of childhood days are memories or observations. Her patients will surely get well quick under her watchful care. Junior Play 3g Senior 'Lunches 4. JAMESQJOYCE 1 lIBud!l It's good to be merry and wise, It's good to be honest and true. When you read the class elections you'll wonder what more we could say here. Just a bit of ad- vice, Bud , follow your motto above and your hat will never be too small. Junior Prom Committee 8: Senior Play Com- mittee 4: Basketball and Baseball 3, 4.

B-Is for Bowler, both Madeline and Jack, From them we do hear a frequent wise crack. C--ls for Cross, so snappy and classy, For him has fallen many a fair lassie. D-Is for Dillon who works all the day, But finds time for a smile for a few, I've heard say. E-ls for Energy which we all possess, It has brought fame to us at F. H. S. F--Is for Flood and Aleta Fuller too, Though of dispositions different they're both true blue. G--Is for Gum, which we all like to chew, But a pleasure reserved for the uncaught few. H--Is for Honors, which we wish to attain, When we leave F. H. S. and seek afar for our fame. l-ls for lmperials which at Fitz's we get, V But too many of them surely will run us into debt.
