1920 CLASS BOOK 23 AUNE AILI HAKKUNEN “Oh Alii, Alii, IVe been thinking, dear, of you, If you love me as I love you, no knife can cut our love in two.” Aune is Alli’s sister and is always seen with a smile. 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. Have you ever heard her talk? Well, she can say more in a minute than many say in an htnir. If you want to become ol)li - ious to your burdens and cares, go to Allie. .She is welcome everywhere. Noted for her wit. HELEN LYDIA HEBERT ” ot Stepping over the bounds of modesty.” Helen is one of our inrlustrious part-time com- mercial students, who help to run Simonds the right way. She’s got an awful giggle which is often heard when Lila is around. Incidentally she is another one who carries windshields on her nose. Noted for that giggle and her companionship with Lila. 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. W hen he is not entertaining in 2M, he is at Parks-Cramer running the draughting room. 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.

She is the sort of person that can have a good time anywhere and any place. HELEN TRUE KLEIN ■‘Better be small and shine than to be great and throw a shadow.” For four years we have enjoyed Helen ' s good disposition. We rejoice to say that she has always seemed to disturb Miss Haskins, for someone ought to. Helen is studious and we venture to say that she rarely gets stuck in anything.

She is one of our ener.getic young ladies and is quite an athlete. The 11. S. hoys hold no interest for her, as most of us know. We wonder why?

Noted for her love of hoys and her constancy to ■Ree.” ALRERT SUMNER LAWRENCE “My quest is knowledge.” President of the Classical Club.
