1 9 2 0 CLASS BOOK 21 JOSEPHINE EULDA Joe is sure a heart-breaker. She always likes to make long orations for Miss Stratton. We see her in communication with sttmeone and we fear results, hut still it doesn ' t bother her any. She rims around as, if she owned the p ace; cheer up, you may he a schoolmarm here some day. Noted for that giggle and those eyes. LILA MAE OAGNON steady buzz, buzz, buzz.” She loves to talk hut is just as merry as she is talkative, so fares pretty well in this world. Lila is quite a frequent visitor at the Canton, we hear. What can you say for yourself, Lila? An opportunity — 1920 is leap year. ALBERT GEORGE Life is real, life is earnest.” Captain Basket Piall Team. Albert is one of our star basket-ball players, and also received his letter in football. But he is tal- ented in another way, too, for he made quite a hit with his saxophone. He adds much to the orchestra when he plays. He is an old friend of .A.. E. D.’s hut doesn ' t lit in Civics. He gels in his time with the hunch most all day and every Thursday night. Noted for his artistic display of green ink. 1()LA MAE GIBBS ‘‘In every gesture, dignity.” W ' e never hear a word from ' iola. Her chief occupation is study and we heliexe she comes to school for nothing else. She can explain (to her- self) how she gets those .V.s perhaps, hut some of us would like to know, too. Noted for her ability to sing. T0I ' 0 ANDREW HANNL ' LA ‘‘.Vttention makes the genius.” Hannula seems to follow out the tihove (|uot:i- tion, as he generally has enough knowledge of his lessons to recite well. He sure did good work on the H. S. football team, helping us to win in many cases. Noted for his Civics ability. MARGARET IRENE HASSETT “Your servant I will be.” She is another worthy member employed in the art of soda-slinging. Irene tells us she is good at it, so we will try our best to believe her. She comes from Tar Hill, hut .still she doesn ' t show it. Noted for that original walk, and happy smile. MARY GROUT “Thy modesty is as a candle to thy merit.” Mary used to live in Shirley, hut after she had been with us for two years she came to I ' itchburg. She is stri ing admirably to be able to speak Siianish lluently so that she may be able to converse with the Major and hold her own in a Spanish argument. -And oh, her eyes ! d ' hey dance with merriment at times, hut they also are capable of sending forth glances of another nature. She is always there for tun and — well, just an innocent prank now and then. CLARICE ELIZABETH GWYNNE ‘‘Favors to none, to all her smile extends.” Clarice does not over-e.xert herself with talking, unless she recites, and her marks are sky high. The male sex holds no charms now for Clarice, although Eddie once was in good with her. Can Mutt’’ get her goat? Well, just look out when you see them together, for a storm usually follows. Noted for that perpetual smile. ETOLA h ' R.ANCES GLYNN ■ ' Woman is at best a contradiction still.” Etola comes to school chiefly because there is no other place to go. It is rumored she likes her job, and can take dictation well. Our local boys have no interest for Etola; small town guys seem more interesting. Noted for her above-mentioned friends and color schemes. W ' lLMER HARRY GOFE ••’Tis love that makes the-arm-go-’round.” Billy lo es to tease the ladies — a favorite habit of nis. e learn, howei’er, and with some mortification ihat it is a fre.shman ( ?) he is rather thick with. He can dance too and last -ear easily won his letter in football. If Dartmouth is your goal, Billy, you had better hurry more than you are accustomed to. MIRIAM HAAPANIEMI I love to please myself.” It is true that she does not try to please the rest of the world, not even Miss Ordung. Well, she can enjoy a good time and according to reports (and pictures) she did last summer. Chief occupation — traveling with the “girl in the office.

She is very clever in Latin — clever in making W . J. L. think that she knows her lesson. She is exceedingly popular on account of her ahundant humor and contagious good nature — we s:iy con- tagious because Phil has caught it. Rut don’t bother her with studying, it’s no use. Noted for her pep.” ALLIE AINO IIARKONEN “Leave me not, () gentle sister. Stay thou by my side, I ' orcver and a day.” Allie is one of the senior girl athletes, and helps to maintain the class honor in that line — hut she is skilful in other things too.

JOHN FRED HEIKKILA “A lion among the ladies is a dangerous thing.” Johnnie” sure does like the ladies, also the little ones. He acts as escort for a hunch of them uj) Ashijurnham street somewhere and says he has a good time. Being also under Mr. Hunter’s wing he should get along. Noted for working” for the Waymoth Lathe Co. MARY HICKS “Few words suffice.” Mary has come to school for four years and yet we hardly know her. She is one of the few business- like students that we have. W e do know that when she and Leonie are together they are sure to forget school. She is going to have a bright and happy future. AARO KAAKINEN Aaro is one of the small members of this faction who says little hut does much. One thing most of us can’t understand is his great friendshi]) with Annie Dunn. Maybe this accounts for those . ’s”. He has been acting cpieer of late. W ho is the young lady, might we ask? JOHN McNAIR HOLLOWS “.Actions speak louder than words.” John is a firm believer in the .above (pjotation. Early in ihe year he refused a job at the State House. We shmdd not he surprised to see him holding a good position in W ' ashington, some lime within the next fifty years. He is ejuite an athlete, having won his letter in football and basketball.

Chief occupation — tickling the ivories at the “Y.” JOHN WILLI AM HOOPER “My hair is white, though not with age.” Billy is only with us every other week and when he is here he doesn’t seem to let much worry him, except perhaps Luella. Member of Lynch’s Jazz Band. Noted for his constancy to the above-mentioned blonde. MILDRED MARY JOHNSON “Bashfulness is an ornament to youth.” Mildred is so modest that we hear hardly any- thing of her either in school or outside. W e are sure that she is good-natured because of her pleasing smile. She ai)pears to lie diligent in her studies. She must helie e in that saying; Little folks should be seen, not heard.” Noted for her lack of noise. t RUTH JOHNSTON Ruth is one of the lively members of our class. She served on both the Red and Gray board and the Class Book committee. In that way she has made herself useful, hut otherwise she manages to bother us all — even Mr. Dooling. We have known her to look at the other se.x, but we won’t say more. When Ruth begins her profession we greatly fear what the results will he. Noted for being a darling little ( ?) girl.” ALFRED PIERCE HOBBS “Men of few words are the best.” Alfred is the lucky dog who lives across the street from school and who lets the hell serve as his alarm clock. Besides spoiling tools at the Fitchburg Steam Engine Co. every other week, .Alfred has distin- guished himself as a pole-vaulter, and also has se- cured some lively snapshots of the gang at school. Do you still write to Farmington, Alfred? Notorious for his laugh.
