OSCAR CHARLES BOUSQUET, JR. Creal men were made to meet on great occasions. This certainly means Oscar. We expect to see him in C. T. ' s place some day. He cer- tainly did his share in completing this book, in fact, if it were not for liini we doubt if there would be a class book. Oscar would make a great debater, especially with M. C. S. As for making a speech always call on Bousquet then you’ll be sure of one. Noted for that dignified manner. HENRY GEORGE BOWEN I ' m the guy who knows the world is flat. Hear, hear all ye disciples of Columbus, we have with tis today, a man who can, without the aid of any living person, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt or question that the earth is flat. Well, he always had a good line, any- way, and generally gets by with it, except with M. C. S., whose views differ to some extent. Of late, he has been following in the footsteps of J. D., but we’ll overlook that failure, when we consider his splendid work as manager of the football team. MARGARET BRACK The blushing beauties of a modest maid. We must say Margaret has never troubled IIS with much excitement and we rarely hear from her unnecessary talk. We won’t men- tion that she comes from Cleghorn because it isn’t for us to criticize anyone’s back yard. M. C. Smith, we are told, is considering, with Margaret, making Cleghorn a city, governed entirely by women (including Margaret and Blanche D.). Keep it up Margaret, We expect you’ll take Mary C. ' s place if you are ever big enough to fill her shoes. LEONA ELEANOR BRADLEY A simple maid and proper too. You can always tell Leona by that happy smile which never dies out. We hear (hat she taught the little children of Ashby for a week but then decided to go to a larger place — such as Notown. If it isn’t Bill, it’s Ted. Now, which is it, Leona? Noted for that everlasting smile. LESTER L. BROWN Strong reaso7ts nake strong actions. “Buster ' s love is not concentrated alto- gether on his lessons for he is frequently seen with Ellen, but we ' ll excuse that. He is the leader of the F. H. S. Band and displayed much skill with the broom stick. He has been known to take a nap in the class-room. Noted for his unusual ability to play the drums and traps. KATHERINE LOUISE BRUCE Judge thou me not by what I am, So shall thou find me fairest. Katherine has done a great deal for the Class Play. She helped to publish our Red and Gray.” She is also very fond of athletics but does not forget her lessons. We are confident she will show her worth at Wellesley as well as she did here. Noted for her excellent marks.

MALCOLM FENNER BAILEY He follows his father, but not with equal steps. Although you only joined us in your Junior year, we wish it could have been longer, Fenner. It was reported that he was very much in love with a young lady from Quincy but we seriously think that he has lost his heart over a certain young lady in the Sophomore class. How about it, Fenner. Noted for holding up the corner near the library ev ' ery recess. WARREN HAMILTON BALLARD Ilis voice commandelh all. Another valued member of the part-time course. We give him credit for being faithful to his lessons. When it comes to going to the “Big Citv” Warren is “right there.” Many of the Senior boys envy his classy shoes. We hear they are made to order??? He saves all his energy for the week he works at Simonds, so this naturally accounts for his silence. RICHARD ALBERT BALLOU Give me a girl and I ' ll be happy. Dick” sure is the bees knees . As an orator he ' d put the finishing touches on the rear end of a fish wagon. But still he ' s a pretty good sort of a guy. “Sleepy” wastes every other week down at Simonds and spends his leisure moments in Shea ' s Hippodrome. We suspect a woman! You know him — the fellow with the sleeping sickness. 16 HERBERT HEATH BLACKWELL With grave aspect, he rose, a)id in his rising A pillar of stale. Behold mild peruser, the ring-leader of all noise, disturbances and discords that occur in the Fitchburg High School (the man that spends his vacations in the “Old Howard. ) When called to account for his misdemeanors he frankly stated. “Well, we all have our dissipations.” However, these faults may be overlooked when we consider that a more perfect gentleman can not be found. ROSWELL WILSON BLANCHARD A Ford and a wrench and I -Loill be happyl It is reported that when Roswell Yas a small child, he liked to play with tin cans. We fear it has left a lasting impression on the boy’s mind as he spends considerable time repairing (out of sympathy) Fords. When not thus engaged he goes to a dance. The remainder of his time is spent in studying. Noted for his abijity to hypnotize Fords. VERA MAY BOSWORTH She is beautiful, pleasant and swett Icmperf ' . Vera has only been with us one year, and during that time she and Fay have been con- tinually together. She has a quiet manner, but is always very willing to help less brilliant individuals, and therefore very well liked.

HELEN FOX BKUCE Oh, for the light in her eyes. Helen is otir star actress. Whether a maid in Shakespeare, a Colonial dame, or a girl of the Twenticlh Century, she can take the part to perfection. Theron and she made the Class Play the best ever presented by the school. Slie also held the vice-presidency in the Dramatic Club and did a great deal to boost it along. KATHERINE l.EONA BUCKLEV Wide is the gulf between me ami man. We are sure that Katherine ' s one ambition is to be a scliool teacher and we are most cer- tain that she will succeed in that line. But we must also sympathize with the poor chil- dren. Never mind, Katherine, wc arc sure you will change your iiarsh ways before then. As for studying, that is her chief occupation. MADELINE EKCEL BUZZELL She talks and talks and talks Ve Cods, henu she will talk. Madeline is a very gay niemlier of our class. She never does much studying but manages to gel by just the same. It was re- ported at one time that Madeline was very much in love witli a Junior, but now we hear lhal it is a Sophomore. What next, Madeline, a Freshman? Noted as the best talker in the school. IS MAKfiAKET HELEN CALT When I ' m a farmer’s wife How happy I ' ll be. Well, wc don’t know about that, Margaret. By the way things look now we believe that you will hold the position of Miss Ordung in a few years. You can always be sure to find Margaret in her seat about a second before the last bell rings. RUSSELL CHARLES Great floods have Jlo7vn from simple sources. Russell is one of the smallest lads in our class but we must admire the good judgment which he displays by sticking in school. With his violin he forms a part of Miss Pepin’s famous Jazz Band. He is a great business man — he’ll give you an American for a Sentinel any time. Noted for his ability to hold down Blossom Street corner. RUTH B. CLOUTIER A jolly good girl is she. Well Ruth, we can say that no matter what trouble comes your way, you will always smile and bear it; for instance, those P. M. sessions. Ruth spends most of her lime try- ing to make Parke Snow, Inc. the leading store in the city. We hope you will succeed, Ruth, but don ' t grow slim over it????
