HAYES His mind to us a kingdom is Jerry has been our worthy president for two years and we have much to thank him for. When a good time is being planned. Jerry is always there. Harry's work during his four years with us has been of the very best and we hope some day to see Harry walk away with Boston Law honors. He stands for clean sportsmanship and sets a high standard for the class to live up to. As a leader he is exceptional. College Course. Junior, Senior Track. Footbail, '20, '21, '22. Letter man. Relay team. Class President. Junior and Senior. Class Rook Committee. Senior Bovs' Club. MADELINE GIBSON None kneu' her but to love her, None named her but to praise.' Madeline has been our Vice-President for two years and has served the class well in all her undertakings for the school's good. Ye hear that W. F. sends a re-enforcement every week. Mad.'s sweet personality and winning smile are enough to conquer an d claim any West Fitchburg boy. Madeline is very active in girls interests work: and is always ready to do her share. Co-operative Commercial Course. Yice-President of Junior Class. Vice-President of Senior Class. School Council. Class Party Committee. Class Book Committee Glee Club. Soloist. ESTHER E. LAHTI Friends she has many; Foes, has she any? Esther's sunny character together with her athletic ability has made her one ot the most popular members of the school. As an athlete she is supreme; as a scholar she has won much praise; as a secretary of our illustrious class her efficiency cannot be questioned. She and Ethel are inseparable companions. Part-time Commercial Course. Secretary of the class. Secretary of the School Council. Secretary of the Athletic Association. Hockey team. Basket Ball team. Dramatics. Cheer Leader. JOSEPH P. TARPEY Consistency! Thou art a jewel. When old lady Nature was casting the various moulds for mankind, by a sudden impulse she poured several of her rare gifts into one fortunate form and then smiled at the agreeable product. Joe's talents and gifts of character are so manifold that a Sears-Roebuck Catalogue would be inadequate for index- ing them. On the track and baseball field he has no equal, while his end runs on the gridiron will stand out prominently in the history of F. H. S. Joe has gotten away for a fine start in his four years in our school and when the race of life is at its height, we expect to see Joe break the tape a winner. Captain of Football. 3,4. Letter man.

SYLVIA AGEL One who spreads a ray of light — in Shea's Theatre. Sylvia has taken life quite pleasantly during her four years, but she gets there just the same. Her greatest exertion has been to get her work all in before marking time. Her presence in Shea's Theatre always brings brightness. She has many friends. She is very fond of Civics and has tried to impress Miss Smith with her knowledge all the year. Noted for constancy to Priscilla. Commercial Course. ROBERT M. ALISON Give me the moonlight, give me the girl. There are two places where Bob shines: one the football field; the other, the parlor. Bob was center on our football team and also the center of attraction among a certain bevy of fair damsels. We wonder what was the source of those long strands of golden hair found reposing on Bob's brawny shoulder, on tlic train leaving Fitchburg for Cleveland. Football 3-4. Letter man. Tech. Course. Senior Boys' Club. GEORGIA F. ALLEN Little said is soonest mended. Georgia is a member of our class who be- longs to the Silent Brigade in school, but from what we hear about her when she is up West we have every reason to believe dif- ferent ly. Noted for her quiet ways and Parisian chapeaus. General Course. 12 JOSEPH E. ALLEN You look wise — correct that error. Eddie is our famous Chronologist, and records the daily events. He is also quite a student, and is another of our would be Mexican Champs, as Jim Chalmers says. In Civics when called on, Eddie says funny things to Miss Smith, and after getting her in a good humor, changes the subject, and sits down. Famed for his grin. Tech. Course. Class Book Committee. Glee Club. Senior Boys' Club. Dramatic Club. JOHN APEGIAN His pencil drew what e'er his soul designed. Jack is a second Michael Angelo, and has accomplished very much along artistic lines. His work has been greatly in demand lately, either drawing posters or serving as chairman of the art committee on the class book. He intends to go to some art school, and we will vouch that he will be a success in life. Famed for his posters. Tech. Course. Class Book Committee. Senior Boys' Club. Red and Gray — Art Department. EDNA E. ATKINS Sober, steadfast and demure. Edna is very good company, as all her friends know. She is devoted to her studies. She is surely very attractive to look at, and interesting to talk with. Edna is one of us who believes that, Work is play. Noted for her quietness. College Course. Spanish Club. DARTHEA B. ATKINSON Mine is the life. Dar is one of our future school-ma'ams — here's hoping she makes good though we often wonder if she'll ever get there alone. What say, Eddie? But then — well — we must have some pep — what would a H. S. dance be without Dar. She certainly can skate but — we don't dart- mention sliding. Noted for that wave. Favorite expression: This is the life. General Course. PAAVO H. ATLIN J love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good. Paavo is one of the bright lights of the Tech. Course. In one of the up-town lunch rooms our friend may be seen in a heroic effort to consume his daily dish of tapioca pudding, his favorite dessert. One good thing about him, he never worries about the next day. Tech. Course. Senior Boys' Club. EUNICE E. BACON All that's best of dark and bright, Meet in her aspect and her eyes. Eunice is a quiet girl, but everybody likes her. She is usually in sober colors clad, but always manages to look well. She be- longs to the Dramatic Club, so a stage career might attract her, who knows? Whatever she chooses in life, may it be a success! She is fond of dancing. General Course. Dramatic Club. DOROTHY L. BARTER A good jolly girl is she. Dot is a little member of the Commercial Class. She helps run the Freshman Class by being private secretary to Miss Sawyer. (She certainly was some shark in A. S. O.'s class last year.) Dot is never without Bea or Barb . Co-op. Commerical Course. Glee Club. Dramatic Club. DONALD B. BARTON We think too little who talk too muck. Donald looks like a little cherub but he can keep up when he is out of school. They say he is some dancer but we're from Missouri. His chief worry for the last month has not been girls (because she has gone away) but the slight danger of getting all A's. He failed to convince Miss Stratton that his daily excuse for tardiness was sufficient. He spends his recesses in studying and his periods in drawing pictures to send to another artist friend?? Famed for his mania for taking pictures. Tech. Course. Dramatic Club. Debating Club. EVA M. BACMIS Her look was like the morning's eye. Eva is in love with life, judging bv her smiling face. She is always smiling, reallv one of the gayest of the gay. Of course, her tavorite amusement isn't studying, but we can torgive her that. College Course. 13 PETER BFI.I.ASCIII He has good gifts. Pete is a shining example of what study can do for a fellow. With his friend Spitzcr his destination is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where we feel sure he will still further honor the Class of '22. Tech. Course. Honor Pupil. Debating Club. BEATRICE O. BOCSQIET Cheeks like the rose A ltd c he st nut hair Beatrice is one of our 'maidens fair' . Rea has been one of our most staunch supporters during our four years in F. H. S. From what we hear — she is quite a shark wlu-n it conies to studying. She belongs to the happy trio — Bea, Ev. and Mad. We hope some day that some wise young man will break up the trio, but then — we know Bea won't mind. We must compliment Bea on her ( lass Book work. Noted for her smile. Favorite expression: Gee whiz! ( lass Book Committee. College Course. DOROTHY F. BICKFORD Breezy and jolly is she always. Dot is one of our good-natured, stout girls. Every recess she faithfully meets her siMcr and helps her eat her lunch. We heard her first love affair was nipped in the bud, but we doubt if it really was a serious affair because she is extremely fond of cats and that is a sure sign of maidenhood. She has a very business-like way about her and we should not be surprised to see her advising the President what to do, some day. Noted for her giggle. Co-operative Commercial Course. Works for Mr. McNamara. 1 - 1- 14 MAR IF C. BELLEVEAU None knew her hut to love her. None named her hut to praise. Marie is kept busy as secretary to Miss Stratum and selling college ices. Somehow we think she is interested in Normal School. What, Marie? Marie is a very jolly and pleasant girl. Noted for her rosy cheeks and constancy to Dot, Barb, and Bea. Co-operative Commercial Course. Glee Club. Dramatic Club. HELEN T. BROOME When I speak, let everyone listen. Helen speaks so unfrequently that her Iriends are willing to listen to her when she wants the floor. She is often seen with one of our prominent typists. Helen is one of the Commercials and is usually quiet. She is a regular attendant of the First Baptist Church I maybe this accounts for her quietness). Anyway, Helen makes a very nice friend. Noted for her brown eyes. Commercial Course. CARL E. BROWN, JR. There is nothing lacking in his size. Carl is one of our boys who hails from Funenburg, and we wonder if they are all as short. For several weeks Carl has been visiting the locker room the sixth hour. We wonder if he's paying his A. A. dues by in- stallments? He did his part toward the suc- cess of the minstrels last year, and we hope he will help our class in the Class Play this year. We hear Carl likes to go to football games. What is the attraction there Carl? lie never went out for athletics — we wonder why!!! Noted for his height. Chief occupation: staying in the Locker Rcom. Tech. Course. School Council. Senior Boys' Club. Dramatic Club. ETHEL I. CAIRNS knoiv her by her stately air, Her bright black eyes, her bright black hair. Ethel is one of our Commercial students who manages to get all A's and still have a good time. If it wasn't for Ethel we don't know what the Athletic Association would do, as it is she who keeps the accounts straight. She is very much interested in sports of all kinds, and made the hockey and basket ball teams. She did great work on the Class Book Committee, and as chairman of the School Notes Committee of the Red and Gray. Part-time Commercial. Noted for her excellent marks. Dramatic Club. French Club. Hockey Team. Class Book Editor. Honor Pupil. Red and Gray — Chairman Department Notes. MARION I. CATE Beauty, like the fair Hesperian tree Rich in blooming gold. We consider all our girls beautiful, to be sure; but Marion can take high honors even among us. She is noted especially for her golden locks. She belongs to the French and Dramatic Clubs and we are sure she graces both of them as she does everything. She has even been complimented in fourth hour Virgil Class. College Course. French Club. Dramatic Club. Class Party Committee. Glee Club. REBA J. CHALMERS She will not be hit by Cupid's Arrow. Reba is famous for her studying ability and never puts off till tomorrow what can be done today. She was never known to show any preference for the other sex although we hope she will change in the future. Reba tells us she wishes to be nothing but a school teacher but we cannot seem to picture her as such all her life. Reba is quite handy with the needle and we imagine it will come in handy some day. Noted for her constancy to Mary. General Course. Glee Club. ELSIE E. CHARLES Smile and the world smiles with you. Elsie pretends she is very shy but reports from Lunenburg Street tell a different story so we do not believe her innocent pleadings any more. She never shirks her lessons and spends a great deal of time worrying over exams., which seems very unnecessary in her particular case as she is sure to come out O. K. She divides her spare time working for the Continuation School and in her father's store. She's small and of uncertain age, but then looks are deceitful. Noted for her fast walk, especially going to school. Part-time Commercial Course. Works in Continuation Office every other week. Glee Club. GEORGE E. CHARLES dare do all that becomes a man. George is the school newsboy. He sells ten or a dozen papers in school every day, besides carrying evening papers on Main Street. All in all, he's quite a busy little man and expects to make a big mark in the world for himself some day. Noted for his industry. Commercial Course. Senior Boys' Club. PAUL E. CHENERY am loath to studv. Paul is one of our Commercial students but he dislikes to study. He likes to sit and dream especially in Law the third period. He wakes up to the fact he was called on in about five minutes later. Paul is not lazy, but how he does like to get out of doing work. He also likes to skip school and ride around with (???) in his car. Paul manages to get by when it comes to examinations and get fairly good marks. Noted for playing hookey. Chief occupation: motoring. Commercial Course. Orchestra. Senior Class Party Committee. Junior Play. Senior Boys' Club. 13 RUTH B. GUILDS Winsome and Bonny. Kuth has bright eyes and a cheery smile. She loves to laugh and be gay. Her voice is always clear and happy, and no one has ever seen her down-hearted. Dramatic Club. General Course. HARRY J. CLARK Shy and retiring. Harry is one of our quiet boys. He hasn't much to say in school or out. He is quite de- voted to Walter and where you see one the other is sure to follow. Harry is quite slow in making friends; but when once made, they always stick by him. Harry never went out for athletics, but he is always seen at football games, nevertheless. He likes to study and we notice that he always gets good marks. He is envied by a great many pupils. Noted for his constancy to' Walter. Chief occupation: studying. Tech. Course. MARIE A. CLARK She talked much hut said little. Freckles is not lazy but she does avoid studying. We hear she is headed for a school of Domestic Science. Wonder why she is be- ginning to think so seriously of learning to cook? If she graduates this vear she will leave behind a little Sophomore who is the main cause of her not Studying. We always know where to find her at recess, for she has been in the same place all the vear. Noted for her giggle and wavy hair. Chief occupation: dreaming. College Course. 16 HOWARD F. CLELAND And said, What a good boy am I. Howard hails from Lincoln Street: but in spite of this, we know nothing against him, except that he studies too hard. He is a biology shark and never happy unless he is talking about ants or some other insect. He manages to get an average of 60' f. He has finally convinced Mr. Frellick that he knows more than what he thought. He greets every- one with a smile although he is rather bash- ful. His favorite study is girls, and foreign diplomats. General Course. Senior Boys' Club. MYRTLE A. COLE Her hair was rolled in many a curious fret, Much like a curious coronet. Myrtle is one of our little friends who come up from Shirley every morning. We hear she is quite a movie fan and aspires to be a star herself some day. If this is so, Man- Pickford had better look to her laurels. She is one of our Commercialites and works every other week. We may see her working in an office some day but we think a course in Domestic Science would be more suitable. She is noted for telling jokes, especially during her Junior year in Miss Foote's English class. She is sure some shark in shorthand. Chief occupation: cutting her bangs. Noted for her curly hair and dimples. Commercial Course. CATHERINE D. COLEMAN A terror from the word go. Catherine hails from up West. She is quite fond of Effa and they are nearly always together. Catherine has been very studious during her four years with us. Whenever you see her, she is always smiling. We used to see Catherine in the Girl's Locker Room the sixth period but she has evidently found some other place to rest. Catherine has succeeded in getting good marks during the four years she has been with us. We wonder how she c.'oes it. Noted for her constancy to Effa. Chief occupation: studying. Commercial Course. Class Book Committee. RUTH M. COLLINS She is little, but she's wise, She's a terror for her size. Babe is one of our little girls, but then she's wise as well. She tries to make people believe that height does not Count in history. Babe is quietness itself and she was never known to bother the teachers by whispering?? She is very industrious during school hours; but outside of that she believes in having a good time. From what we hear, her Sunday evenings are pretty well taken up. Noted for her laugh. Chief occupation: motoring. Co-operative Commercial Course. Class Book Committee. JOHN V. CONRY Men may come and men may go But you'd be a champ in Mexico. Come and behold him. A true example of what the West End turns out. When Jack isn't throwing things around in Quigley's store, he is seen on the car bound for Leomin- ster. Rather suspicious you say? But sh it's only an aunt. Noted for those wise sayings. Tech. Course. Senior Boys' Club. HARRY R. COSGROVE The glass of fashion, the mold of form. Harry is one of those boys who drive daughters of Eve to confide in Beatrice Fair- fax. We hear he is headed for the Boston Conservatory next year. Here's luck, Harry! He likes to dance and demonstrates the art quite to perfection. What's this we hear about Springfield? Well, go to it. Chief occupation: changing his clothes. Noted for his winning smile, his Titian hair, his comradeship with Danny, and his confer- ences with Miss Sherwin. General Course. Senior Boys' Club. DANIEL A. CROWLEY It's a great plague to be handsome, for a man. Dan was F. H. S.'s star cheer leader, and we have to hand it to him for the efficient manner in which he directed the cheers. He is one of the popular boys of the school and he is always right there when it comes to a good time. Dan served well on the Class Book Committee. Chief occupation: surgical dresser at Crocker Field in the afternoon. Noted for his artistic presentation of the modern dances and his companionship with Harry. Class Book Committee. College Course. Chief Cheer Leader. Senior Boys' Club. MADELINE M. DACEY In the din of battle you could hear her voice. Is Madeline one of our quiet pupils? Ask Eileen. Wherever you see her, Eileen is always there. Madeline is one of Mary C. Smith's star pupils in Civics. She has a won- derful voice and you can always hear her in A. H. and in all of her recitation periods. Madeline generally has the front seat. We wonder why. Noted for her voice. Commercial Course. GEORGE W. DADMAN know it is a sin. For me to sit and grin. George hails from Shirley but we do not blame him for that. He is very quiet about school but we hear that it is not so in Shirley. George was on our track team our Sopho- more year. He is quite studious in the fifth hour bookkeeping class. He enjoys looking out the window. We wonder who he can see out there. Noted for his happy smile. Chief occupation: looking out the window in 47. Commercial Course. Senior Boys' Club. 17 A HELEN K. DAVIS 'V; breathing beauty'. Helen certainly lives and breathes in an £™«Ph««of beauty. She is a lover of it. to the tips of her fingers. She can draw very ue I and she can also sew and embroider Art seems to he the means for her to express thoughts. She is one of our good s, udents and she truly beautifies all she touches General Course. C lass Book Committee. HELEN I..

Babe's chief delight is fooling around with test tubes and substances having a queer odor. When she isn't mixing chemicals she's mixing soda at Kendall's, or dancing— mostly dancing. She intends to go to Normal next year but we doubt very much if she ever joins the O. M.'s club. Noted for her constancy to members of that Huntet. General Course. Senior Class Party Committee. BEATRICE I DOWNEY A farmer's life is the life for me, A farmer's wife I want to be. Beets has favored us with her presence this year, only every other week, spending the odd week keeping Mr. Peters company. Nevertheless we are glad to have her with us at all. As editor of the Class Book she de- serves much credit for its successful manage- ment and we hope Alma Mater has more like her. Noted for her quiet disposition in school. Class Book Editorial Board. Part-time Commercial Course. ARCHIE G. DRAKE Big oaks from little acorns grow. Archie is another of our little boys lb seems to be very fond of gum. He never has to study like most of us, depending on his ever ready wit. He is very fond of his dog At present he seems to be fascinated with a young Junior. We could overlook the fact that he meets hcr after G. F. S. meetings but going home by Day Street, never! He spends his afternoons selling butter to innocent people who think he is a clerk. We hope to see him a great printer some da v. If print butter has anything to do with it, we'll sav he will Nevertheless overlooking all his faults we are glad to have him in our class. I Noted for his grin. General Course. j, Senior Boys' Club. EVELYN M. DUXX love my teachers, but you know My fun must have a little show. Dutchy is always smiling. We don't know whether it is because she comes from the Sunny South Side or just because she likes to show her dimples. She is noted for being quite a sprinter (for the lunch counter). As a member of the hockey and basketball team she did great work. One of Miss H 's permanent boarders. Noted for her constancy to Bea and Mad. Part-time Commercial. Hockey team. Basketball. Ushers at Lyric. Works for Mr. Jeffery in bank. THOMAS J. EARLEY We could stand him forever more, If he'd dissolve that grin in Hn SO . Another of the campers at North Dana. W hen among the fair sex, Tom is good but then — his one ambition is to be a Mechanical Engineer. He was on the Class Book Com- mittee and did good work. While at camp, Tom was very quiet and never went across the lake — we thought he was slipping, but now — you'd be surprised. Noted for that walk. Industrial Course, dee Club. Class Book. Senior Boys' Club. JOHN W. FAGAN Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity. John is one of our future M. D.'s. He is sometimes very cold-blooded (and delights in dissecting rabbits and cats). He has become quite proficient at this, and can distinguish the epiglotis from the vertex vertebrae. However, that is just a hobby of John's but it is rumored that a fair damsel residing near Summer Street occupies some of his attention. As a member of the Class Book Committee, John proved invaluable. Famed for his cold-bloodedness. College Course. Class Book Committee. Debating Club. Senior Boys' Club. EFFA J. FARNHAM A modest maid am I. Although Fffa has been with us for four years, she still claims Vermont as her resi- dence. While in school she appears to be very quiet ; but from what we hear about her when she is summering in Vermont, we have every reason to think she has a good time. Effa is learning to run a Ford coupe in Vermont, so we hear, and incidently to run the bank here. Noted for her winning smile. Co-operative Commercial Course. Works in the F. H. S. Bank. Glee Club. EVERETT A. FARR Perserverance keeps honor bright. Everett is a member of the famed Industrial Class. He is an electrician of unknown fame. He hopes some day to have Edison as his chief assistant. He is right there giving speeches, and book reports in 28 (.â– ') and is also some physicist. Every other week he may be identified by a roll of electric wire which he carries. But for Everett this school would go broke. Industrial Course. Senior Boys' Club. LESSA FEINGOLD Merry-hearted, curly headed maid. Lessa is one of our part-time students. She is a very apt talker, and her laugh is con- stantly heard. No one believes that she will ever die of worry, but that is one of her charms. She is admired for her curly hair which sparkles in the sun. She counts among her friends one Laby. Commercial Course. 1 I'M LINE L. FENNO Before my mirror night and day a-primfnng I am busy. Pauline is very quiet in school, but like others she is full of pep when outside of school. Yc hear that she is soon to take up permanent residence in Westminster. Noted for her fondness for opposite sex. Commercial Course. DOROTHY II. FILANSKY J ns a Utile girl not bigger than a doll. Dolly is one of our little mites hut is not ashamed of it. For such a small person, she has a voice that can be heard all over the class rooms, especially in Major Lowe's second hour Spanish Class. In Mr. Frel- lick's first hour Bookkeeping Class, when, after sending the biggest part of the period talking, she is called u|x n to recite, nine limes out of ten she can't find the place. Dolly is a mischievous piece of humanity, and bound to add amusement to any period. Noted for her bubbling spirits. Spanish Club. Assists Miss Brown. Commercial Course. ROCKR Y. F1SI1KK Well could he ride, and often men would sav, That horse his mettle from his rider lakes. Roger's chief occupation in life is driving .in Oakland. He rode a horse in the Class Day parade and cut quite a figure. There seems to be quite an attraction for him in 26. Noted for his speed. Tech. Course. Senior Boys' Club. 20 ANNA M. FITZPATRICK Very demure and shy, am I. Yes, we must admit that Anna is very de- mure and shy, but that is nothing against her. She loves her studies, and consequently draws good marks. She is cut out to be some business man's stenographer or bookkeeper. She has no bad habits whatsoever. Anna is a valued member of the Senior Class; and, as we understand, of the Girls' Social Club, and last, but not least, of Mr. Frellick's banking force. Noted for her shyness. Co-operative Commercial Course. Red and Gray Board. WILLIAM J. FOGARTY The Beau Brummel of Clcghorn. As far as care, books, and studying go. Bill is a negative quantity. When he is dancing with the fair sex he is 100 per cent efficient. He has a few accomplishments. Forem an A. P. store, some fine fellow, and a great friend of Mr. Howarth's 3S). General Course. Senior Class Committee. Senior Bov's Club. FLORENCE R. Fl'RPHEY Let the world slide — What care I? The above certainly does fit Florence. Studying never worried her, but then she managed to talk it out. She is one of those who gives us light at the movies but we rather think she likes to do without it herself. So far we haven't seen anyone who could rival that coiffure of Florence's. She will show those ears! Noted for her I don't care expression. Part-time Commercial Course. MARY W. GARVEV Charming; witty; debonair. A dance without Mary would be incomplete for she always keeps things moving. And when it comes to dancing! She surely can trip a light, fantastic toe. Her committee work, especially for the Class Book has been of the best. Mary's charming personality has won her many friends of both sexes. Noted for her constancy to Bun. Co-operative Commercial Course. Editor of Class Book. Junior Minstrel. JOHN P. GAYNARD Waste not thy advantages! John is a West Ender and very much so. His chief aim in life is to be a M. D. That explains his busy appearance; he really is chasing future cases. When he is not study- ing Spanish, he is holding down a counter in Brockleman's. Field occupation: yelling Fore. General Course. Senior Boys' Club. DAVID P. GEGAN As swift as Mercury. Dave is the fastest fellow in school: i.e., in the hundred yard dash; but his speed stops right there. He's some shark in Civics; he has hardly said a word this year. Do you remember his good work as captain of the Junior relay team? College Course. Captain Track Team. Letter Man. Class Book Committee. Senior Boys' Club. ARLENE E. GILSON Happy am I; from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me? Lene seems to be so happy lately that we wonder who the other happy person is.- We thought she would be very lonesome for some one who went away, but evidently somebody else came to town and took his place. She likes the movies and we expect to see her a star in filmdom some day. Never- theless, her book reports are the best in the class (when she does them.) Glee Club. Chief occupation: making up excuses. Part-time Commercial. DOROTHY GLAZIER For winning hearts there is no doubt, Dorothy holds the record. She is always lively and full of fun. Some- times she is apt to be a tease. Dot is quite daring, and brave, and is almost torn-boyish at times. We wonder if she smiles in her sleep, for any time of the day, in rain or shine, she is always smiling or laughing at some- thing. But she can be very serious at times. When she is working as the secretary of the Dramatic Club, you wouldn't know her, for she is so dignified, and industrious. She's an actress, too! If you don't believe it, come and see for yourself at the Dramatic Club meetings, when she is performing. She can be quite a Frenchman, too, during the second hour in room 27. Dramatic Club Secretary. Glee Club. General Course. JOHN N. GODBEER Let no man dispute me. Norman is one of our bright young stu- dents. He is very studious, but aside from the malady is a real fellow, although he never smokes??? As a newspaper man Norman is a Horace Greeley. He is the king of the Fitch- burg Sentinel, even bearing more weight than the editor. Noted for his remarkable ambition. Tech. Course. Senior Bovs' Club. 21 LYNMORE S. GOODSPEED Thy voice is like an angel's. Lyn is some singer we'll tell the world. His voice can be heard above all the rest in the Glee Glul , Thursday mornings. We always know when there has been a party the night before because Lyn studies all recess, only going down stairs to get some of his beloved caramel bars. You can tell him a mile off by his walk. He is one of our bright Tech. boys. He seems quite bashful and has a very pleasing smile. He used to be very- fond of twins. How often do vou go to see them, Lyn???

Why, she can laugh even at mathematics! College Course. HELEN L. GRAVES Modesty is one of my many assets. Helen is generally pretty quiet in school but when you get to know her, you'd enjoy her. Helen has one good point, however; she always has her studying (lone. Noted for her constancy to her friends. Commercial Course. Glee Club. 22 SUOMA A. GRONROOS Wisdom is belter than rubies. Suoma is surely one of the leaders of the Senior Class. She surprised us all by her cleverness when she came into our midst at the beginning of the Junior year. She is always dignified and serious in all her deal- ings. But this does not make her dull. Most girls that know her well, find her very enter- taining and original. Suoma has a charming smile, and the appearance of a saint. Some- times it seems as if her name should have been Priscilla for she is so modest and demure. College Course. Class Book. Red and Gray. Dramatic Club. CONRAD A. HAAPANIEMI By the work, one knows the workman. Happy came to school to learn, and we know he has succeeded, but it hasn't been from books. If you don't believe us, watch him some time. When it comes to pulling down A's he is there with the goods, and as a riashy half-miler — 'nuff said. We might add that our young athlete is a devoted music lover. Noted for those pleasing ways. Tech. Course. Class Book Editor. Senior Boys' Club. Dramatic Club Treasurer. French Club. Glee Club.

French Club President. Glee Club. HELEX L. HIEXIG Business, business, all the time. Helen's business is typing, so its typing, typing all the time! And during school hours she teaches typing. In fact, Helen has typing written all over her. You can guess who she is — Miss Miner's able assistant. Helen has a weakness for handling cash and she may be seen doing this at Brockelman's upper market, every Saturday. Helen is a conscientious worker both in school and out and is a real good sport. Noted for her typing. Commercial Course. NORMA M. HENDERSON Sober, steadfast, and demure. Norma is surely very steadfast in her les- sons, as her marks show.

Commercial Course. 23 JOHN H. J ACOBSMEYER I am a monarch of all I survey — my eyes ore closed. The Industrial Course for the last four years without John would be like a book without a cover.

How she can talk I Josie hails from Lunenburg Street. Josie is always on time and we have never known her to be late. We hear that Josie likes the Lyric quite well.

She is noted for being on time. Chief occupation: going to the Lyric. Commercial Course. ADELLA E. JOHNSON Her voice was ever low and deep.

Olga is one of those who believe in getting a great deal of fun out of life, and at the same time, getting good marks. She is one of those Civics sharks.

MAKELA For she was jusl the quiet kind Whose nature never varies. Laina is one of the silent members of the Senior Class, but she works all the time. She takes more interest in her books than in social activities and therefore obtains very good marks. She has a great deal of responsi- bility this year, for she works in the School Library. Sometimes she carries such high piles of books in her arms that she manages to keep herself quite hidden. Laina is inter- ested in athletics and is always making baskets in the Assembly Hall.

S. for the best essay when entering our High School. His studies never worry him as he keeps well above the average. Our only regret is that he confines his baseball ability to the Tar Hill Stadium, and does not play on our school team. His famous walk to Boston with our worthy president will go down in the annals of history. Without John Chick would be lost, strayed or stolen. They are a pair of fellows who some day will make their mark in the world. Chemistry claims most of Chick's atten- tion and some day we expect him to rival the Liggett's, Inc. Noted for his walk.

She dances, plays and sings, and seems to believe that when one laughs the world laug hs, too. We have never seen her worried. Noted for her constancy to Tom. College Course. Class Book. MAY M. McLEAN With a smile that was childlike and bland. May is one of our part-time girls, but oh, dear! She is so bashful!

Without Marj. what should we do — for ginger? Commercial Course. Glee Club. Works at the Normal School. RUTH S. MILLER Ruth is a typical Saxon beauty, tall, fair, with a haughty manner. She is charming, delightful and good to look at. We agree that her name fits her, for Ruth is an old Hebrew name meaning beauty. She is a very studious girl, and spends a great deal of her time in preparing her lessons. Even when Ruth was a little Freshman, she used to get good marks. She is quite a musi- cian, too. Probably some day, she will be well-known. We all think the world of her and so does her brother! Why? Because he is willing to drive her to school every day, instead of making her walk. This makes you think she is an angel. By no means, she can be very mischievous at times. General Course. CLARENCE M. MOECKEL O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength: but it is tyrannous To tise it like a giant. Dutch is one of our quiet members but we have heard about some of his doings down on Summer Street.

She is more of a thinker than a talker. She is by no means a bashful or a dull girl; for when she has a good topic she makes a very pleasant talker. She is kept pretty busy tripping around the school during recess. Her g rl chums are continuously calling for her, which shows that she is popular among them. Her courtesy wins her friends everywhere. Some of the teachers like her very well, especially in the History Department. We must not forget to mention her beautiful hair. Sonic- times we wonder how she is capable of carry- ing it all. Dramatic Club. Glee Club. General Course. FRANCIS J. MULKEEN Such as I am, all true lovers are.

Noted for her cheery smile. Commercial Course. 31 MARY P. MURRAY A light heart lives long. The class acknowledges Marv to be one of its best naturcd members, even though people with hair the color of hers are supposed to have anything but a pleasing disposition; but then, there is an exception to every rule. Mary shines on Thursdays as a singer her only rival being Alma Glu'ck. Marv is one of the Majors Spanish sharks, but we are also told that she excels in all her classes.

Bea certainly does live up to the first part of the statement, but as for the good Part — well— we hear that ever since Bea came back from Waltham. she has a tendency toward Oakland cars. Bea doesn't like to wear eye glasses— we don't blame her. She should really have those eyes under some pro- tection. Being a member of that inseparable gang makes Bea a jolly girl.

But she can talk in a history class when she gets excited! Probably she will be an historian in the near future, or perhaps she will prefer being a chauffeur. She is quite interested in automobiles. This year one is apt to hear her rave about chemistry. Ruth seems to be in a hurry all the time. Sometimes we wonder what is going on in her mind, to keep her busy always. She is a good friend of all the teachers in school. A good sign. College Course. Dramatic Club. Let us fold away our fears and put by our fool- ish tears, And through all the coming years, be glad.

Senior Boys' Club. 33 RAYMOND PELLETIER Oh what may man within him hide, Though angel on the outer side. Ray is one of our many good athletes. He has struggled through his four years and has managed to pull through with the best of us. For some time now, Ray seems to be the sole support of the F. L. — certainly has got it bad. He is also a fine dancer — we all wonder who taught him. What say, Gert. ? And — when it comes to singing — well! Ye don't wonder Caruso died. Ray certainly can knock those high notes. Noted for his wavy hair . Our Arrow Collar model. Football '21. Baseball '21. Senior Boys' Club. Glee Club. Track. Letter Man. Holds high jump record. MARCIA E. PENAN Thou art small but thou shalt go. Marcia is very quiet around school, but the people on Boutelle Street will contradict this statement. Marcia is very fond of Dora and l.essa; and where you see one, you usually see all three. Marcia is so small that you can hardly see her wtwn she is sitting at the table working for Mary Cushing Smith. Her teacher makes her come to the front of the room when she recites because her voice is so weak that she can hardly be heard all over the room. Noted for her voice. Chief occupation: walking on Boutelle Street. Part-time Commercial. Works for Miss Smith. RAYMOND H. PERRY 'He wears the rose of youth about him. Yes, Ray is an all-around modern young man. He doesn't spend very much time in athletics; but then he has so many other things to do. He can dance, too, as all the girls know. He likes amusements, but he manages to keep up with his studies. Tech. Course. Dramatic Club. Glee Club. Senior Boys' Club. Debating Club. 34 ALICE PETERS Where did you come from, baby dear, With eyes so blue and such curly hair? Alice surely has curly hair (and real natural curls at that)! Alice is a very quiet girl. We seldom hear her talk; and when we do, it is such a faint voice that we have to strain our ears. Alice is one of the Part-time Commer- cials and is one of the banking force. Bank- ing is her specialty. Noted for her curly hair. Commercial Course. EARL F. POM FRET Silence is golden. Earl looks like a little cherub, but he can keep up when he is outside of school. They say he is some dancer but we're from Mis- souri. Outside of the fact that he comes from Shirley we have nothing against him, except that he studies too hard. His only fear is that Miss Brown will call on him more than once a week. He has a fondness for girls although he tries not to show it. Every other week we see him parading the corridor between rooms 43 and 47. We wonder what he does up there??? Noted for the way he has his hair cut and also his everlasting red cheeks. Commercial Course. DORIS E. POST The hidden sou! of harmony. No one ever had trouble in being friends with Doris, for she is a very lovable little girl. School and lessons seem to be her main interest in life, although she may be seen at parties very often with her chums. Doris never neglects her duties, but always does them on time. She is a perfect lady in all her dealings. She and Ruth Newcombe are in- separable friends. College Course. French Club. Glee Club. BETTY PRESTON Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Betty really is very blithe, but she is just as nice almost in woe. What we mean is that it is natural for Betty to be gay. She is good in her studies, and she can write poems, for she had one printed in the Red and Gray. If she really exerted herself she could do wonders, we believe; but of course we can't blame her if she doesn't, for it's the way of the world. W hen it comes to prophecies, she has the Delphic Oracle beaten. General Course. Class Book Committee. French Club. Dramatic Club. AUNE D. RASI And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true. To look at her one would think that Aune is quiet, but still waters run deep. Aunc is one of the Part-time Commercials and in her ambitious weeks, helps Miss Fuller carry French books. Aune has quite a fondness for walking down Main Street. We wonder why. Maybe practising for her future position as traveling saleswoman. She chums around with Edith. W here you see one you are sure to see the other. Noted for her quietness. Glee Club. Commercial Course. Works for Miss Fuller. MADELINE M. RATCHFORD So bright and jolly, so winsome and fair This fair damsel has beechnut hair. Red is one of our bright spots. We hear she has signed a peace treaty with Enthu- siasm. In the future we expect to see Red on the program at the Follies, but you never can tell! Noted for her pep and beechnut hair. Commercial Course. RICHARD A. REISSMANN Short and sweet. Richie, enjoys the distinction of being the midget of our class. Although small, he- is useful; and we expect great things of him in the future. Size doesn't always make the man, you know. As a hardware merchant he is a startling success, being the big noise around the shop. Just a wee bit too noisy, however. Tech. Course. Senior Bovs' Club. WALTER A. REMSE Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness. Dutch is one of W. B. Hunter's star boarders every other week. The alternate week he keeps one of the local machine shops running.

Noted for the style of his hair. Industrial Course. Senior Boys' Club. ELOISE RICH Worth how well those dark gray eyes. That hair so dark and dear. How worth! Eloise is one of our dark-haired girls.

French Club. Glee Club. MARGARET M. RIORDAN Audacious and fiery was her manner. We certainly do believe that Margaret will be a great politician some day. She can give- out those points and hold her own And being a business woman will also helo— if Margaret doesn't forget to return all the money to the bank. Noted for her independent manner and constancy to Mildred. Part-time Commercial. Works in the bank. MARY A. ROB BINS Talk! Talk! Women wilt thou never get tired? Overlooking the fact that Man- comes from Pearl Hill Road, we think she is a very studious g,rl as she alwavs seems to have a bag of books with her. As far as we know there is no particular man in the case, but we think one would be appreciated. When she enters a recitation room the teachers all recognize her and are prepared for the worst AIiss Pcom has been trving to coax Marv to become her assistant because she is skilled in pouring forth her knowledge in the class She is supposed to be very modest but we would not trust her eyes when thev start roaming.

ROCHE come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. Paul is a real heart smasher, at least he thinks he is. Paul is some athlete, winning three letters in his Senior year. We wonder at Paul's strange antics on' the steamer after those midnight visitors. Paul lost his heart to a short brunette in Chicopee and — horrors! she's a schoolma'am. Paul cuts meat in Leominster and knows how much a pound of onions weigh. Football 1. Letter Man. Captain Baseball 1, 2. Basket ball 1. MIRIAM ROSEN Music hath Charms. When it comes to anything musical Miriam is right there! Some of us can well remember her solo in 3.? last year. Besides vocal ability she can also dance well. Whether it was bluff or not, we will not say, but Miriam always manages to get good marks. And last but not least she helps keep the orchestra going. Noted for her black eyes and hair and her musical ability. Part-time Commercial Course. Glee Club. French Club. Works in bank. Dramatic Club. LESTER P. ROY The more, the merrier.

She is naturally musical and loves to sing (as well as whisper)! Noted for her walk. Co -operative Commercial Course. Works for Miss Pepin. Glee Club. MARY L. SACINO Not a word said she that was rude. Mary is another of our quiet members; in fact, she is so quiet that we don't know much about her. We can account for Mary's quietness by saying that we see her every other week. The rest of the time she helps run the Fitchburg Produce Companv in an efficient manner. We have heard that Marv is not as quiet outside of school as she is in school. Noted for her quiet ways. Part-time Commercial. Works for the Fitchburg Produce Co. BERNARD P. SCANLON He was just the quiet kind whose natures never vary. We have let Bernard mind his own affairs because he always seemed to want to. He has tried to make us believe he would not fall for any girl's charms, but so far he has not succeeded very well. In Bernard is unseen ability. He can really talk and laugh when necessary. He does all his studying before periods and receives callers in Room 28 at recess. Noted for his shyness in Miss Brown's English Class. Commercial Course. Senior Boys' Club. 37 ALBERT K.

How about it Irene? Her favorite expression is: What are you doing? Part-time Commercial. ESTHER R. SEGAL For every blush that kindles in thy cheeks, Ten thousand little loves and graces spring. Esther is another of the numerous ones who add quietness to the class of 1922. Esther manages to wake up once in a while in Law and also in Civics; and when she does, she demands attention. We like to see Esther talk because when she does she has a pretty way of blushing that is rather fasci- nating. Esther is at present acting as private secretary to Miss Mclntyre of the lunch counter. Noted for her brilliant color. Co mmercial Course. 38 BERNARD J. SHEA I repeat it, sir; we must fight. As an athlete, Bunny is without a peer in school and his injury in Cleveland was a great setback. Bunny won his letters in football, baseball and basket ball. We have heard a good deal about those doings up in North Dana and those visits to Chicopee. How about it. Bunny?' Although Bunny does not bother the opposite sex, much, yet • Bunny has often expressed his ad- miration for the Cleveland girls, and he cer- tainly hated to depart from there. General Course. Baseball 3,4. Basket ball 1. Loot ball 3,4. Senior Boys' Club. FRANCES E. SHEA A contented spirit is the s-weetness of existence. Will we ever forget it — that pleasant smile? Although Frances is not in the limelight as much as her brother; she can hold her peace well enough. She never has very much to say in school, but what she does say amounts to much. Of late she has been bringing out her ability in banking and will probably be a banker some day. Noted for her pleasant smile and those bangs! Part-time Commercial Course. Works for Mr. Frellick. MARGARET J. SHEA Trip it as you go On a light fantastic toe Muggsy buzzes around like a little bee, always going, going, going! She's a very little girl, but how she can flirt.' The class in which she recites, by no means lacks pep. Margaret is very good in her lessons, if she only cared to study a little more. But one thing she can certainly do if nothing else, and that is dance! She always dresses up very nicely. Her clothes are always of the latest fashion. Commercial Course. EDITH S. SIGURDSON Still waters run deep. Edith does not say much at school but,— oh gracious! you ought to see her outside of school. She believes she hasn't done justice to her lessons unless she has taken home every book in her desk. She used to stay in every recess and study, but she doesn't any more. We wonder why. After coming in from the fresh air she always has very nice and rosy cheeks. Last summer she seemed to enjoy the air in Whalom. Noted for her Marcel wave. General Course. JAMES A.

You can see for yourself that Milly is not an ordinary girl. Milly has picked out Margaret for her chum. She is a great help to Mr. Pearson, at his store. Noted for her mischievous spirit and her freckles. Commercial Course. JOHN W. SODERBERG Talk! Talk! Ye gods how he will talk! John is one of our Commercial students taking a special course. He thinks it is not necessary for him to remain more than three periods a day in school. The rest of his time he spends in the Sentinel office telling them the right way to publish the paper. He is the fastest talker in the school. In the morning his fiddle can be heard above the rest of the orchestra. As far as we know there is no particular girl in the case. He has never done any studying and bluffs all the time except in examinations. Noted for his wise (??) sayings and his walk. Commercial Course. Senior Bovs' Club. PHILOMENA SORETTO Who says little has little to answer for. Philomena is very quiet and does not say very much. She is forever with Mary and they are seen walking up and down the cor- ridors at recess. They are quite often seen on Main Street in the afternoon. Philomena worries quite a bit about her marks but is not usually in a mood to improve them until nearly time for the marks to go in. Noted for her constancy to Mary. Chief occupation: walking the corridors at recess. Commercial Course. DEDERICK A. SPENCER Pass him not by who seems a saint. If Ded would only do something out of the ordinary!

What say you about it, Freddie? Industrial Course. Senior Boys' Club. MALCOLM H. STODDARD am the other part. Malcol m is a member ot the renowned In- dustrial Class and keeps hers' machine shop running every other week. In his spare time he might be found tilting the V. M. C. A. building by playing basket ball. Oh, yes; he is some player as was shown against the F. H. S. second team in the assembly hall. He also finds time to attend the Lyric regu- larly and is very much disappointed when he can't see because somebody is in his way. He also finds time to study as he usually gets good niarks. He may be identified by his Industrial Course. Senior Boys' Club. 40 CLAYTON' E.

At present, she is helping to run the Five and Ten. Run it out? Noted for her continuous laugh. Commercial Course. ELEANOR E. Sl'RI Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax.

Yinie and Charlie are some unusual team, let me tell you. Industrial Course. Senior Boys' Club. NELLIE E. TOFFER] Smile and the world smiles with you. Nellie is a very shv little girl, but my, what a pretty little smile! We don't see her hang- ing around in the corridors, but then her marks show the results of hard labor. She is kept very busy publishing papers to educate the ignorant people, so she hasn't much time to spend in social activities.

Ruth always takes a great interest in all the social activities of the school. Ruth is a clever girl. She used to be the star in Freshman English Class. Now, she has so much to do in other lines that her lessons do not get so much attention. College Course. Dramatic Club. Glee Club. RALPH N. WILSON A very gentleman and of a good conscience.

Speels thinks he has obtained the degree Master of English, not from an institution ot learning, but as a pool expert. He gives ex- hibitions of his skill in West Fitchburg bil- liard parlors, and astounds the natives with his ability to put the cue ball in the pocket. We do not see very much of him about school, as his outside duties take him away from us at the end of the fourth hour. When in school, Speels looks very bored and does not worry much about what happens. Commercial Course. CHARLES H. WYMAN The painting is almost the natural man. Shingles Charlie hails from the southwestern bound- ary to civilization, Xotown; which he claims is the best place in the world. He is the general manager of Iver Johnson's every other week.

NASH Music by MARGUERITE WOODS HISTORY Four short years ago, on September 3, 1918, the momentous history of our class began. What a future, what conquests, what glories lay before us on that fateful day! But shirk we did not! We put our youthful shoulders to the chariot of '22 and behold! we have pushed it to the sheer summit of the Mount of Success! And now as we look back over the stony road we have traversed, we recall with pleasure the incidents of our eventful journey. With an abundant lack of knowledge we entered as Fresh- men. Although surprised at first, we soon accustomed ourselves to the ways of grown-ups, and on Class Day were able to boast of nearly a score of high honor pupils. As a start along athletic lines, our football team defeated that of the Sophomores, and the girls won the inter-class track meet. The first year over, we rested during the summer and re- freshed mind and body. In the Fall we returned to school and started to attend the morning session. How proud we were to be considered as rivals by the upper classes! We were proud also to find that we were admitted to the daily afternoon entertainments. In fact, some of us were such regular attendants that we were presented with permanent reserved seats. This year the girls again won the inter-class track meet. ( hi Class Day our artists carried off two of the prizes offered by the Visiting Nurses Association for the best poster showing the value of the visiting nurse. In our Junior year great honors came upon us. Starting with the election of class officers we held a spirited campaign. As Class Motto we chose Esse quam videre. In all our entertainments we were most highly successful. Our first one, the Junior Reception to the Seniors, could not have been better, and this success was due directly to those who gave their time. The second, the Junior Dance, enjoyed, need- less to say, the same degree of success. The Schofield Concert tared likewise. This year a goodly number of our athletes were to be found on all the school teams. The girls again defeating all the classes, won permanently the trophy offered by the Sentinel. Finally comes our fourth and last year. Starting with the election of officers, we chose the same that had served the previ- ous year, so well had they don e their work. In athletics we supplied most of the players for the various teams. The Class Party was another one of our achievements. In the Hudson Dramatic Prize contest we carried off the three honorable mentions. 49 CLASS PROPHECY Name Nickname Cue Peculiarity Thinks is she Future Life Agel, Sylvia Sylvie There are seats upstairs College boys Sportsmanlike Suffragette Apegian, John Jack I meant to do it Volubility Lady's man Arteeste Alison, Robert Bob You ain't old enough Hard work Globe trotter Battling Bob, slug artist Allen, Georgia ( leorgie We'll miss the car Apologies Teacher's pet Nurse Allen, Joseph Joe W hen I was down south His face Original Humorist Atkins, Edna Ed What does this word mean?

Merely Mary Ann is one of Zangwill's most interesting and delightful plays. The story centers around Mary Ann, sup- posedly a poor orphan girl, obliged to work in a cheap boarding house for her existence, and Lancelot, an ambitious composer. As the play develops, it is found that Merely Mary Ann is a rich heiress; that Lancelot reaches the pinnacle of his ambitions; and that, as usual, everything turns out to the satisfaction of all. The play was a tremendous success. The smoothness and skill with which it was presented, did credit to the work of Miss Stratton under whose direction the play was staged, and to the members of the cast. Between the acts appropriate selections were rendered by the High School Orchestra under the capable supervision of Miss Pepin. The assisting committee of the faculty deserve special men- tion for their work in contributing toward the success of the play. Miss Stratton, chairman and director. Miss Hoyt, in charge of costumes. Miss Sherwin, in charge of stage setting. Mr. Howarth. Student Assistants Edward Mullen Martha Ohrbohm THK CAST Men Lancelot (a composer) Peter (in business) Herr Brahmson (a music publisher) Rev.

It is the original from which the heading of the athletic department for this book is made. We have been pleased to place this present in Crocker Field Clubhouse — there to serve as an inspiration as the work of a young artist and true friend of the Fitchburg High School. Fitchburg High's 1921 football team enjoyed a successful season, winning eight games, losing three, and tying one. Captain Tarpey, Lawrence, B. Shea, McNally and Hobbs formed the real strength of the backfield. The team was well- developed in all departments of play. Though Fitchburg did suffer setbacks, the team was one of the best to represent the school . Roche and Mulkeen played the end positions. They played a strong game on both offense and defense. Beach and Hodge played the tackle positions and with the guards Hershey and Hayes, and the center, Alison, formed a veritable stone wall. The substitutes were particularly capable and deserve much credit. Mr. Arthur Herrington. captain of the 1920 Lehigh College team, was secured as assistant coach. He and Coach Amiott must be complimented upon their good work, for they undoubt- edly form one of the best strategy boards ot high school football in the country. The team received loyal support from all sides. Never have such crowds attended the football games as did this year. This kind of support inspires teams to fight to the last minute. May the teams of the future be supported as was the team of '21. On August 28, a squad of about thirty men went to the football camp at North Dana for a week of training and condi- tioning. This was the second year of this feature in F. H. S. athletics and is a worthy one. After the Proviso game, the A. A. entertained the Proviso and Fitchburg teams with a banquet held in the Assembly Hall. After the banquet a program was given in which both teams took part. Jack Crocker, crack end of Harvard, was the prin- cipal speaker and guest. The Westerners gave their part in lively talks and cheers, and the Fitchburgers followed in similar fashion. September 24. The team opened the gridiron season in true form by whaling the Clintonites. Fitchburg displayed a punch rare for an opening game. The beefy visitors only threatened when Coach Amiott put in his entire second team. Approximately 1200 people saw the game. Score — Fitchburg 35, Clinton High School 0. October 1. Fitchburg completely outclassed the Worcester South team. Line plunges and end runs featured the offensive attack of the Red and Gray and 28 points were piled up while the scrappy visitors got seven on a fluke. Fitchburg's line was strong. Score — Fitchburg 28, Worcester South High School 7. October S. Fitchburg beat Lawrence in a tough struggle at Lawrence. The first followed three successive and superbly handled forward passes. Shea to Roche, for thirty yards each. After Fitchburg scored another touchdown, Lawrence rallied in the second half and held Fitchburg to a safety. The game was played on a wet field and part of the time in rain. Score — Fitchburg 16, Lawrence High School 0. October 12. Fitchburg's speed very easily crumbled Wor- cester North's brawn. After a flash in the first period, during which time they scored a touchdown, the visitors showed no opposition whatever. Fitchburg tore through their line, skirted their ends, and chucked in a few forwards. Beach and Tarpey starred. The whole squad of three odd teams received a good workout in this game. Scores — Fitchburg 43, Worcester North High School 7. October 18. Fitchburg toyed with Hyde Park, prospective Boston District champions. The game resembled a track meet. Long runs by Fitchburg featured the game, the first touchdown being scored on two plays in a few seconds. Hyde Park had no chance at all. The Fitchburg High School seconds received another good workout. Score — Fitchburg 35, Hyde Park High School 0. October 22. Fitchburg vs. Walt ham. Luck! Luck! Luck! That is the sum substance of Waltham's victory over Fitchburg. Fitchburg outrushed the visitors but two costly fumbles paved the way for the Waltham touchdowns, and changed what would have been a 14 to 0 victory for Fitchburg, into defeat. After one of these fumbles, Fitchburg's line resisted Waltham's on- slaughts fifteen times and then Waltham shot over a forward for a touchdown on the lourth down. Ldwery ol Waltham gave a wonderful exhibition of open field running, while Lawrence Tarpey and Shea starred for Fitchburg. This tough battle was seen by over five thousand persons. Score — Waltham High School 14, Fitchburg 13. October 29. Fitchburg played a return game with West Technical High School at Cleveland. This game was a fac- simile of the Waltham game, F. H. S. losing on] missed goals and two more costly fumbles. The game was also managed by inefficient officials. After playing excellent football for the first five minutes, during which time they scored a touchdown, Cleveland showed a sudden reversal of form and were out- played throughout the remainder of the game. Fitchburg by Lawrence's line plunges, Tarpey's end runs and forwards, scored two touchdowns. With about thirty seconds to go, Cleveland tossed a forward for a touchdown and kicked the goal, thereby winning the game in the third period. Bunny'' Shea was taken out with an injured collar bone greatly handicapping Fitchburg. Score — West Technical High School of Cleveland, Ohio, 13, Fitchburg 12. November 5. Manchester High's eleven was humbled in the best game of the season. The teams battled evenly until the final period, when two end runs by Capt. Joe Tarpey and a line plunge by Lawrence scored a touchdown. The other touchdown was the spectacular play of the game. Roche intercepted a Manchester forward and ran forty yards for a touchdown. It was a pretty play. Fitchburg got all the breaks in the game. There were about three thousand five hundred fans present. Score — Fitchburg 14, Manchester 0. November 12. In a very clean game, the F. H. S. proved its superiority over the strong Boston College High team. A varied attack netted two touchdowns. Hodge was an octopus on the defense. Score — Fitchburg 14, Boston College. High School 7. November 19. The Red and Gray swept the heavy Lowell High off its feet and won before a big crowd. A feature was a forty-five yard run by Captain Joe, who reversing his field twice, ran through Lowell for a touchdown. The forward game worked unusually well. Score — Fitchburg 21, Lowell High School 0. November 24. The Turkey Day clash with our traditional rivals resulted in a tie, 7 to 7. The second team which played three periods, scored a touchdown. Then the first team was sent into the game and soon had the ball near Leominster's goal. Leominster got possession of the ball on downs and punted. Fitchburg fumbled the kick and Leominster recovered the ball and scored. The final whistle prevented the Red and Gray from winning. Score — Leominster 7, Fitchburg 7. November 26. Proviso High School of Maywood. Illinois, met Fitchburg in Fitchburg's second intersectional and post- season game. The game was played under most unfavorable weather conditions. Almost with the sound of the opening whistle snow began t o fall; and when the game was over it cov- ered the field. Proviso got the jump on Fitchburg and held it throughout the game. They displayed a dazzling speed, a brilliant forward pass attack, and a puzzling shift. The wet ball caused frequent fumbles and both teams were greatly handi- capped by the ground conditions. McNally was' Fitchburg's bright star, scoring F. H. S.'s touchdown. Proviso is probably the best team ever seen at Crocker Field and deserved to win this game. Yea, Yea, Proviso. Score — Proviso 13, Fitchburg 6. 68 BASKET BALL In face of a tally which shows fifteen games on the regular schedule won and one tied against only two lost, the 1921-22 basket hall season can he called a success. This good record earned Fitchburg the right to participate in the annual Tufts College Tournament. With To w risen d, Hobbs, Shea, Beach, Gross and Mulkeen ot the 1919-20 squad as a nucleus, a combination which prom- ised to be quite formidable was whipped into shape, and the season was opened on December 16. A capacity crowd turned out and went away satisfied, for Fitchburg easily trimmed Athol High by a score of 48 — 19. A week later, December 23, another game was won by a safe margin, Clinton being defeated 26 — 14. On December 26. the team defeated the alumni 34 to 19 largely through superior teamwork. The Worcester North High quintet invaded Fitchburg on January 2 and was defeated by the home team 48 — 23. It seemed as though the team was now invincible, but on January 6 Fitchburg journeyed to Rhode Island and were defeated 38 — 27 in a first-class game by Woon- socket High. Woonsocket got a big lead in the first half and although P'itchburg had four times as many shots as they did, the Red and Gray shooters could not cage the ball. In the last two periods they put up a stubborn fight. The team found itself again, however, when on January 13 it easily defeated Framingham High 43 — 18. On January 20 a VY. I. League combination, the Gardner five, were conquered 35 — 20 in Gardner in a fast and somewhat furious game. In a fast overtime game at Lowell, January 25 Fitchburg tied Lowell High 22 — 22. In the latter part of the game the Red and Gray teamwork was disarrayed by the ejectment of Shea and Gross for four personal fouls. January 27, F itchburg easily outclassed Leominster 38 — 17 in a Wachusett League contest and before a big crowd. Again on February 4 Leominster's hopes went blooie, Fitchburg hitting a 22— 9 stride at Leominster. February 8 the team made a trip to Gloucester which proved rather disastrous. With its coach as a referee, Gloucester won Fitchburg 21 — 19. Fouls called toward the end of the sharp contest factored in the victory by the Fish City five. In the next game February 10 the team had a snap with Lowell. The Red and Gray demonstrated its all-around supe- riority over the Spindle City five which previously tied Fitch- burg at Lowell. The result was 33 — 11. In an interesting game February 17, the speed of Fitchburg was too much for the big Worcester Tech. Second Team. They were humbled 35 — 17. In a return game with Woonsocket, February 22, Fitchburg ran up fifty points against Woonsocket's 22. After a nip and tuck first half, the visitors were swept off their feet by Fitch- burg's speed. The three following Friday nights, Fitchburg won Gardner, 55 — 17; Clinton, 31 — 18 and Worcester Tech. 2d, 17 — 10 in return games. The Clinton game gave Fitchburg the Wachusett Interscholastic League basket ball championship and the silver trophy offered by Rensselaer Technical Institute. The regular season was brought to a close on March 10 at home with Gloucester as the attraction. In a game, which was probably the most exciting of the entire season, the Fitchburg team succeeded in winning 33 — 24. At Tufts College, Medford, in the third battle of the pre- liminary round of the New England Interscholastic Basket Ball Championship Tournament, March 17, Fitchburg High defeated the crack South Manchester, Conn. High team, 33 to 32, in a thrilling encounter. Fitchburg won. through superior physical condition, a fast finish and the use of excellent team play. March 18, Fitchburg High was eliminated in the tournament when it was defeated by Portsmouth. N. H.. 27 — 23. It was in a rather disappointing finish, when Fitchburg abandoned its usual team work, that Portsmouth made a spurt and won. The tournament was won by the Brockton. Mass. High team. The Fitchburg team could boast no real stars, but depended on its steady teamwork to pull it through. The team, however, won the Wachusett Interscholastic Championship, the trophy for which was presented by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. 70 Fitchburg High's Record for 1921-22 Y+ i f h 1 1 1 t nr rilLIlUUlg -to t i n 0 1 1 0 i y Y- i fph nil rir r 1 ic n u ui g zo Clinton 1 4 F 1 I L 1 1 U U I g Z r Alumni 1 O i y l 1 I L 1 1 U U I g J. 8. â– tu W orcester N orth Zj 97 Z oonsocket ?a JO Fitchburg Fra nu ngh tint 1 8 1 o P i t chburg 35 ( Tardner 20 Fitchburg 22 Lowell 22 Fitchburg 38 Leominster 17 Fitchburg 22 Leominster 9 Fitchburg 19 Gloucester 21 Fitchburg 38 Lowell 11 Fitchburg 35 Worcester Tech. 2d. 17 Fitchburg 50 Woonsocket 22 Fitchburg 55 Garnder 17 Fitchburg 31 Clinton 18 Fitchburg 17 Worcester Tech. 2d. 10 Fitchburg 33 Gloucester 24 Totals 611 Opponents 339 Tufts College Tournament pMtchburg 33 So.

The trip which the football players had looked forward to with great expectations, had at last arrived. After the rousing send -of which was accorded to us by the football fans of the city and the loyal high school pupils, which demonstrated to us that while they could not be with us in person, they were with us in spirit, rooting for us in far away Cleveland right through to the final whistle, there was not a heart in the crowd that didn't skip a little faster; and we resolved, one and all, to bring the bacon home to Fitchburg, or die in the attempt. The girls of the school showed their inter- est and their loyalty by presenting a huge basket of fruit, can- dies, and gum which the boys at once attacked and began to devour when the coach rescued it and placed it under heavy guard from the hungry mob. We left this city Thursday evening at 7.30 and our first stop was at Gardner, Mass., where a loyal party of high school Seniors bade us a final farewell. The fun began when we were all assigned our berths and supposedly asleep. Believe me, it was some night, at least the negro porter thought so! But after a long pillow fight we became tired of the sport and went to sleep. We ran into a rain storm at Batavia, N. Y., but when we arrived at Buffalo it had cleared off. We had a hearty breakfast at that city and then continued on to Cleveland. We arrived at Cleveland at noon on Friday and were met by hundreds of West Tech. pupils and Cleveland citizens who gave us a royal welcome. We were escorted to the Hotel Statler where rooms were assigned to the players and followers. Friday afternoon we took electric cars to Dunn Park, where the game was to be played, but we were unable to practise because our football togs went astray at Utica, N. Y. However, we remained at the Park, watching the West Tech. team and Jim Thorpe's Indians practicing. We returned to the Statler where we had a hearty supper and Friday evening we attended a good show at Keith's Theatre, through the generosity of the West Tech. Dramatic Society, that had kindly sent Mr. Amiott the tickets. All retired early and enjoyed a good night's sleep. Mr. Amiott asked the operator in the Statler to call up every room occupied by the players at 7.15 a. m. She called up Room 963 and Harry Hayes answered Hello. 7.15 replied the pretty operator. Your making a mistake, dear, answered Harry, it's 963. We had a fine breakfast and spent the morning riding around the big city getting our tonsils sunburned. Cleveland is a won- derful city, the fifth largest in the world and all the boys greatly enjoyed the ride. In one of the cars the driver told the boys that he would take them over to the Lake Erie shore. Anchor Oksanen asked Is it as big as Whalom? Just before the game a group of the boys sitting in the lobby of the hotel were greatly surprised to see a familiar figure enter the door. It was Mr. John Keefe, who had missed the train at Fitchburg, but had followed later. He arrived just before the game, did not stop for dinner but went with us to Park and rooted until he was hoarse. That's loyalty. Nothing need be said about the game. Fitchburg alwa is a good loser. Ernest Stolba, our trainer, who is a Sentinel reporter, printed a true account of the game on our arrival home. At the beginning of the game a few loyal rooters, Mayor Fellows, Mr. Woodbury, Mr. John Boyle, Mr. Keefe, Thomas O'Horo, and his brother Steve were the only ones cheering for Fitchburg, but before the game was over a crowd of a few hundred, seeing the bitter up-hill fight of the Red and Gray crowded around our bench encouraging the team. Offici- ally, however, Cleveland won 13 to 12. After the game the Fitchburg party returned t o the hotel, enjoyed a hearty supper and prepared for the return. At nine o'clock, Saturday evening we boarded the P. B. liner City of Buffalo, and bade farewell to Cleveland, a trifle disappointed, with the cheers of a few West Tech. pupils ringing in our ear . It was a wonderful ride on the big boat on Lake Erie and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a novel experience to most of the boys although many of us will always remember that ride, because when we reached Buffalo early in the morning, applica- tions of peroxide and other healing ointments were applied to 77 various parts of our affected anatomies. (This was caused as results of certain night prowlers.) We had breakfast on the boat Sunday morning, and checked our luggage at the railroad station and soon after breakfast boarded a train for Niagara Falls. Arriving there in about an hour we went to the Temper- ance House, where a few rooms were procured as headquarters. Most of the party attended church services at Niagara Falls and returned to the hotel for dinner. After dinner the entire party boarded a Niagara Belt Line car which took us across the Great Steel Bridge to the Canadian side where we obtained a wonderful view of the American and Horseshoe Falls. It is in- deed a wonderful sight. It is beautiful but at the same time awe-inspiring. As we gazed awestruck at the scene, Anchor ( ksanen remarked, poetically: Holy smoke, and a guy went over that in a barrel! We enjoyed the trip across the Rapids in the Aero car and visited Brook's Monument, Whirlpool Rapids, crossed the Suspension Bridge and returned to our hotel all talking about the beauties of Niagara Falls. We dined at the Temperance House and left Niagara Falls Sunday eve- ning, returning to Buffalo where a fine supper was served us at the Hotel Broezel. It was here that Frve Beach borrowed a dime from Anchor to tip the waitress. At the railroad station we secured our baggage and entered our Pullman bound for Albany. As we were all pretty fagged out, we turned in early and enjoyed a good night's sleep. Arriving in Albany early Monday morning we put up at the Ten Fyck and ate a hearty breakfast. We visited the State House and various public buildings, including the Albany High School, one of the finest equipped schools in the country. After dining at the Ten Fyck we returned to the Albany Rail- road station and entered a parlor car, bound for dear old Fitch- burg. It was a splendid ride through New York State where a decided contrast from the flat, level Western lands to the rugged New England hills was evident. We stopped at Greenfield, Mass., where friends boarded the train to greet the Fitchburg party. At Gardner, Mass., Mr. Chalmers of the faculty met us and told us of the awaiting reception. We were all a happy group when the lights of Fitchburg came into view and when we came into the station and were accorded that welcome from the Fitchburg citizens and High School pupils, which will always stir the hearts of the members of the team, we agreed, one and all, that there is no place like home. 78 School Night On September 30, 1Q21, Mr. Walter F. Downey, Principal of an annex of the Boston English High School, gave a very in- teresting talk on School Spirit; which is one cause of the wonder- ful school spirit exhibited at the F. H. S. Circle' Francais Party On the afternoon of October 13, the Circle' Francais gave the first dance in the School Auditorium, crowning the social commencement with success. Sophomore Class Party On the afternoon of October 19, a dance was presented by the Sophomore Class in honor of the football squad. The dance was the second of the year and was a great success. On Monday evening the football team was received at the railroad station in appreciation of their work in Ohio. Senior Class Party The Senior ( lass Party was held on Thanksgiving night. Many of the alumni who were home from college attended this annual party. The decorations were of the class colors. This party was immensely enjoyed. Annual Alumni Ball The annual alumni ball was held at City Hall on the evening of December 26. Many high school students and numerous graduates attended. A fine time was had by all. Commercial-Industrial Night Commercial-Industrial Night was held on January 20, 1922, under the direction of Miss Alice W. Brown. A most interesting musical entertainment was provided by Miss Jane Colding and Signor Pietro Mordeglia. The assembly was filled to its capa- city. After the entertainment, a dance was given. This func- tion was an immense success. Dramatic Club Open Meeting The third annual open meeting of the Dramatic Club was held at the Cumings Theatre on Monday evening, February' 13, 1922. A capacity audience enjoyed the five entertaining plays which were presented. The feature of the evening was the pres- entation of the Hudson prize play, and the subsequent awarding of the hundred dollar prize to the two winners. A charming French play was given under the direction of Miss Alice C. Fuller. Much crdeit is due Miss Helen F. Stratton and her able assistants for the splendid manner in which the program was carried out. Junior Class Party The Junior Class Party was held in the High School Assem- bly Hall on the evening of February 21, 1922. The hall was tastefully decorated in the class colors, orange and black, and with such a splendid background, a large number of persons enjoyed very much the dancing which featured the affair. Refreshments were served, and a number of novelties were intro- duced as the evening progressed. The music was furnished by Hannon's Orchestra, while members of the faculty acted as chaperones. Much of the success-of the party- may be attributed to Miss Emily Woodward and other members of the committee in charge. Prize Speaking Contest The Prize Speaking Contest was held on Friday evening, April 7, in the Assembly Hall. A good sized audience composed of students, parents, and friends of the speakers was present at the meeting. Benjamin Miller, '23, and Ida Caplin, '23 won the first prize of five dollars each, while George Powers, '23 and Dorothy Glazier, '22 won second. All four students gave their selections in an excellent manner, and the fine work of the other contestants made the competition keen. The judges were Mrs. Marcus A. Coolidge, Rev. Benjamin E. Ewald and Dr. Frances T. McMurray. Rev. B. E. Ewald presented the prizes. The school orchestra, Henry Clancy, vocalist, and Herbert Pea- body, organist, provided entertainment during the evening. French Club Party A dance was given by the French Club on Tuesday after- noon, April 11, in the School Assembly Hall. A large number of students enjoyed the dancing which ran from four till six. Leo Hannon was at the piano, and was accompanied by a drummer. The money taken in enabled the Club to adopt another French war orphan. Thus all present contributed to a worthy cause. Red and Gray Night The annual Red and Gray night was held in the School Assembly Hall, Friday evening, April 21. A large and apprecia- tive audience listened with mirth and glee to the humorous remarks of John Thomas, the noted humorist, who gave a varied and exceedingly interesting program. His wit pleased everyone, and after bringing his entertainment to a fitting close by giving a more serious poem What is Success? he was given generous applause. Miss Barbara McGee introduced the speaker and welcomed the students and guests. C. W. Moeckel arranged the decorations, and the ushers were young men of the board. Girls' Interest Committee The work of the Girls' Interest Committee this year deserves special attention. Meetings have been held bi-monthly, previ- ous to the first period, at which interesting and instructive pro- grams have been given. Talks on hygiene, social customs and topics of especial interest to the girls have been given this year, some by invited guests, others by members of the faculty, and by students. Mothers' Day was held at Crocker Field last fall and was a distinct success. Parents of the girls saw many of the athletic activities carried on in a splendid manner. The purpose of the committee is to create a better understanding among the girls of the school, and also to instruct them along social and cultural lines. The committee consists of Miss Anna E. Dunn, chairman, Miss C. F. Fairbanks, both of the faculty, and Miss Leonice Brown of the Department of Physical Education, also Miss Ellen McGrath. The students on the committee are Miss Madeleine Gibson, '22, Miss Esther Lahti, '22, Mi ss Katherine Ryan, '23, Miss Alice Woods, '23, Miss Gladys Shafer, '24, and Miss Margaret Cross, '25. Senior-Junior Dance The Senior-Junior Dance was held in the school Assembly Hall on Friday afternoon, April 28, 1922. A large number of students along with a number of invited guests attended, and were amply repaid by enjoying a delightful time. The dancing was held from four o'clock until six, with Leo Hannon's Orchestra furnishing the music. Members of the faculty acted as chap- erones. The dance was the terminating event of the winter social season in the school. O Hara San O Hara San, a Japanese Operetta in two acts by Edith M. Burrows and Edward Johnston, was given before a large audi- ence in the school Assembly Hall on June 2, 1922, and was a very charming and interesting performance. The argument of the work involves the experiences of O Kashi Kintara. a young noble, who falls in love with O Hara San, and seeks her promise of marriage. She tells him that it can take place in a year's time. The 0 Kashi Kintara leaves Japan for America, and upon re- turning finds that Prince Nashimoto Fushimi has made ready to marry his sweetheart. However, O Kashi Kintara prevents this by his timely return and all ends happily. The cast con- sisted of the following: O Hara San Ina Markkanen 0 Kashi Kintara Raymond Pelletier Kanaya Sointa Syrjala 0 Taya San Mary Murray Prince Nashimoto Fushimi Toivo Myllykanga- 0 Toku San Madeleine Gibson Tokiaki Oscar S. Rome Leading Geishas M. Stone and Edith T. Saari All of the participants performed in a splendid manner and appropriate Japanese scenery created a favorable impression. The scenery was in charge of Sointa Syrjala. The operetta was given under the direction of Miss Alice R. Pepin. CLUBS French Club The Circle Francais or French Club is under the direction of Miss Fuller and Miss Champagne. Mr. Delbert Hayden is president. The purpose of the Circle Francais is to create inter- est in French. Boys' Club On December 16, at seven o'clock the Boys' Club had its first meeting. The Juniors defeated the Seniors at basket ball by a score of 26 — 23. Dramatic Club The Fnglish or Dramatic Club with Mr. Samuel Hershey as president is under the supervision of Miss Helen F. Stratton and encourages the English. On February 13, at seven o'clock Dramatic Night was held in the Cumings Theatre. 82 SEPTEMBER 6 School has begun.

They have good intentions and only lack a little harmony. 18 Big scandal in 22. Someone found a blonde hair on Harry C larke's shoulder. 19 Mystery's solved.

Speeches by Mayor Fellows and Doc. McMurray. 2 Wanted. A Senior who got some A's. Those report cards were a terrible blow. 3 Ray Perry Company are busy canvassing members of the school for Y. M. C. A. Who's going to join? 4 Nobody's giving odds on that game tomorrow. 5 Lowell, we'll be around to see you again in 1922. That plum was worth picking. 6 Sunday night was designed for study and is used to go calling! 7 You should go to bed earlier nights, Frog. 8 Nobody's talking about that Cleveland game any more. 9 Wednesday seems to have more absences than the other davs. We aren't trving to implv that vou skip school, folks. 10 Miss Haskins doesn't seem to be so popular this year. 11 Some class to Jimmie Mack's new bow tie. 12 Manchester, you have the beef, but Fitchburg has the brains. 14-0. 13 Every once in a while there comes a day when nothing happens and they call it Sunday. 14 Miss Smith is head press agent for Prof. Farl Barnes, the Eminent Lecturer on W'orld Conditions. 15 Heads, we go to the movies; tails, we go to a dance; and, if the nickel stands on edge, we study. 16 I wonder if Anna Teehan can get weighed for a cent. 17 Spike O'Horo made quite a speech for the Class Party; eh, what? 18 All dressed up and no place to go, except the Dramatic- Club. 19 Well, well, Boston College, you made that 14-7 game interesting, but, that was 7 too much. 20 This was some day but not literally .S zday. 21 The teachers seem to compliment 1922 quite a lot. Is it a habit, or appreciation? 22 Jimmie Chalmers, the young salesman, is busily selling the means of financing the Proviso game. 23 Have pity on the gobbler, fellows; also on Leominster. 24 Thanksgiving Day. Leominster ought to be grateful for that 7-7 tie. They were just as surprised as we were. The Class Party was a success and everyone had a good time. 25 Let's hope for better luck in this Proviso game to- morrow. 26 Chicago came to Fitchburg. They got only 13 points but those were 7 too many. That snow storm put a crimp in the bleachers. Well, they can't kick about their send-off. Some banquet. 27 No more football until next October. How's the basket ball squad, C larence? 28 Watch out for fallen wires and falling branches. A tree can't stand forever with a ton of ice on each branch. Why didn't Mr. Robinson wake up and blow the whistles? 29 It's all coming out. Mr. Amiott bet Sam Hershey $5.00 that Fitchburg would beat Proviso. Professional football, Sam! 30 Yeh! Yeh! Debating Club! Wont some little organizer reorganize our High School Band? DECEMBER 1 Do your Christmas shopping early. Order graduation pictures now if you want 'em by Xmas. (McXally's pet speech.) 2 A frog he would a wooing go. Wonder what attracts Lavery's Ford to Xotown. 3 A rising vote of thanks to the bird that invented Satur- day holidays. All up! 4 Conrad Haapaniemi has a cold in his head. It always takes the path of least resistance, Happy. 5 Save your pennies for Christmas, you'll need 'em! 6 Everything is so still in this school that you'd think you were in a Ford repair shop. 7 Something's sure to happen before long. 8 Education week. Where are all the invited visitors? 9 We knew it! Extra, Extra! Big robbery at F. H. S. C. T. is exercising with a cow-bell this morning. Senior night! That magician had nothing on those thieves. 10 The class treasury is as flat as a pan-cake that has been run over by a steam-roller. 11. The education week idea didn't work. The visitors entered after working hours. 12 Your humble chronologist sincerely begs your pardon for the following outburst: 44 They Stole our Cash Education week has come and went, But still we hear a loud lament, They stole our cash. They dropped in at two o'clock And didn't even stop to knock But, stole our cash. C. T. invited all to visit us It isn't that that makes us fuss, They stole our cash. They should have called 'twixt eight and four But it isn't that that makes us sore, They stole our cash. They stole our Class Book picture dough Ambition came their way and so, They stole our cash. L'envoie. Good-bye you generous burglar men, You left a nice school building when You stole our cash. This high school building's worth a lot You should have taken that, and not Have stole our cash. 13 Girls' interests meeting. How to make a bed. Good thing to teach some of you girls. You don't know when it'll come in handy. 14 Santa Claus has begun to appear in the stores. Hope the teachers are generous to us this year. 15 First basket ball game tomorrow evening. 16 Well, well! Clinton come out from under. It's stopped raining (baskets). 17 Rain. Nothing to do but study. Result — movies. 18 Ever noticed that Derrick-Childs, Perry-Xelson mixed doubles in Room 26 at recess? Love is blind. 19 Christmas is the whole works, these days. 20 Watch that Senior Boys' Club. Herb. promises great things for his young hopefuls. 21 C lassy hair cut of Bob Alison's. Those two Robinson hoys could stand one (apiece). 22 Myllykangas is the star singer of Mr. Miles' Senior- Junior division. You can hear him in Leominster. All you need is some music, Milly. 23 The twenty-third. Skidoo! Athol! You're good, but we're better. 24 Do your Christmas shopping early. 25 Christmas, Santa Claus, Stockings, Christmas-tree. Presents, Turkey, 'Neverything! 26 Movies. 27 First day of vacation. School arose promptly at 11.30 a. m. Oh, boy! Ain't it a grand and glorious teelin'? 28 Monday, Alumni Ball; Tuesday, Lamba Sigma Dance; Wednesday, Charity Party. Oh, it's nice to get up of a morn- ing, but it's nicer to lie in your bed.'' 29 Our shore lea ves'' most went. 30 Went swimming today (almost). Good skating (al- most). Good sliding (almost). 31 Everybody saw the new year in, but Moonshine Co. didn't do much business up to the H. S.

They locked all the doahs at 7.45 so we had to send somebody (?) thru de window to let us in. 21 Ah wondah what that tall Brown fellah from Lunen burg uses to keep his hair down so slick all de time. 22 Moreober, ah aspires to know why dat Jag Apegian, our class artist, do try to make dose curls ob his lay down with water. It can't be did, Jag! 23 Eleanor Mack sho' must get sick ob seeing movin' pic- tures eberyday down to Cumings Theatre. 24 Ah wondah does anyone study on Friday afternoons. 25 We done seen dat Buzz Herrington buying Bailey's chocolates again. Watch out, Mr. Buzz. 26 Where do Bunny O'Horo, Madelaine Dacey, Irene Shea and Mary Garvey go ebery Sunday afternoon? Ans. Window-shopping. 27 You'd nacherally think dat dat long-legged Kittredge could get to school on time. Oh, how Ah hate to get up in de mawnin'! 28 We done see dat some ob de 'lumni am back in our midst; i.e., dat Willie Hannon and Red Morris. Welcome to de fold! 29 Miss Stratton's brain actors am gettin' busy with Ham- let what done bring Wallis and Merriam 100 fish. De Drooma- tic Club aint asleep by no means. 30 Does Dr. Howarth get a knock-down on de lunch counter fo' watching us eat? 31 Well, good-bye, folks, Ah'se had a very interesting month, so Ah requests that you treat it gentle. FEBRUARY (Mr. Hiram Korntossel of Mosquito Corners, Me., will con- duct this department during February.) 1 Wall, howd'e do, folks. It's been quite a spell sence I been to taown, and Pitchburg has changed quite a lot. They've took daown the Goodrich St. Watson Cor. horse Kyars and I ain't saw nothin' of Mayor Coolidge neither. I been up to the Academy tewday an' they've moved into a gosh a' mighty big High School building. 2 Prohibition don't seem to have took no effect on Mr. Dooling fur's I can perceive. 3 Annie Dunn's still teachin', I see. 4 Deddy Spencer's got a smile a mile wide. He must be in love. 5 C. T. sez he admires form in everything. 6 I ain't seen n othin' of Martina Chase sence I been to Taown. Is she married? 7 It's me, me, oh Lord, standing in the need of a hair- cut. A. Robinson's pet solo. 8 It would sure be a mighty gude investment if someone shood buy a founting pen for Eva Baumis. She do bony other fellers pens a lot. 9 I understan' Jimmy Mac's been up to Boston last week. I wonder if them eddycational buildin's was all he wanted to see. Seems to me I heard tell az how they's a durned snappy show down there. 10 They's lots of new secret sassieties springing up in this here High School, the Shifters and the Lemming Club, etc. The Shifters cost Bill Farrar 2 pounds Baileys'. 11 P. T. Barnum sez they's a fule born every minnit and two folks born to take their money frum 'em. I.e. Conrad Haapaniemi and the Shifters. 12 Who sez Lank Kittredge cain't get up in the mornin'? He even combed his hair tewday. 13 The feller what named Whitehead must be color blind. I cain't see the difference between a Redhead and White- head. 14 C. T. has stopped askin' All A students to stand up in A. H. He prob'bly don't want Spitzer to do a solo act. 15 Mr. Miles sez the serpranos is tew timid and condeden- shall. Quite a contrast to Millykangas. 16 Norman Godbeer is sent into exile by Misses Foote and Smith. 17 M. C. S. thinks Lester Roy shood kno' somethin' about S. Fitchburg jail. Ever been there, Les? 18 Substitoot teechers have a demoralizing effect on stu- dents. 1° Margaret's greatest desire fulfilled, B. Shea writes in her character book. What was your temperature. Peg? 20 M. C. S. speaks of the juice in the dry bonze of his- tory. Prohibition is ancient history now. 21 We have discovered why Bob ert Alison kin afford tew have a hair cut every week. He gets them tor two bits per each. 22 John Fagan performs a masterfool oppyration in vive- section. He chops up a cat. You'll be a great surgeon some day John, unless you get a job as butcher. 23 Extry, extry! The M. S. P. C. A. is after John cuz he forgot tew kill the cat fust. 24 Our class play sure is progressin'. We already kno1 whoze the leadin' man and heroine. We don't 'low only three guesses. 25 Yes, you was rite. It's Sam Hershey and Barbary McGee. 26 Wal, tewday we starts on a hole week's vacation. Three cheers for our release frum the grind. 27 Mighty queer how the folkes lade in bed this mornin'. They's no percentage in gettin' up before ten a.m. 28 Is we dreamin' or ain't they no school tewday? MARCH 1 Mr. Duo Day Waginty, the noted Celtic author of Cork, Ireland, will supervise this department during March. 2 Begorry, byes, Oi'll be right at home this month seein' there's so many good Irishmen in F. H. S. 3 Thot there Frog Laverys still worrits about that all night truck ride to Lawrence. 4 Vacation's shlippin'. 5 Shure and here comes the joy killer to remind us that school begins tomorry. What with report cards comin' and left over studyin' and what not, we are a happrehensive lot, begorre. 6 A teacher has t'be everythin' these days from a traffick COp to a nurse maid. Some uv the best known and most feared of these same are C. T. W., A. E. D., M. L. G., E. H. 7 Kin ye visualize Sam Hershey teachin' Eloise Rich how to manipulate a pianner like he does in Merely Mary Ann. Most as hard as to imagine R. H. rolling African marbles. 8 David rnoighl have slayed Goliath, but I wouldn't put no money on Reissman if he should pick a scrap with Beach. 9 The divvil take me if I kin see why Laby Louis didn't go out fir football. 10 The contestin' armies advanced. In a moment they were battlin' for life and death. They forced each other back and forth, fightin' like a legion of divils. Now, an' then wounded warriors lef the struggle to be replaced by fresh reinforcements. (A good description of that 33-24 Gloucester game, which means that our team may gel a chance at Tufts College. Hooray!) 11 Madeline Dacey wouldn't appreciate her swan like neck if she were a boy. Shed have to have her collars made to order, O'im thinkin'. 12 Norman God beer looks like he'd been shaved by a Chinese executioner. Bandages are expensive these days, too! 13 Betty Preston and E. Lahti shure has bad success vampin' Sam Hershey (in the Senior Play). 14 Roger Fisher's nose is a wreck and Helen Davis is absent today. It shure must have been some foight! 15 The itenerary of M. C. S.'s annual Washington trip is off the press. She gits us to study a year about the capitol, then takes our money away from us to see it, by jabers. 16 Hot stuff! G. Keaveny takes a drink! Cause: Fudge in B. Shea's desk. Method: Cayenne pepper. Result: Hilarity in Room 26. 17 St. Patrick's Day! and Augustus Caesar was decorated with green. It shure was a paceful day. Hooray for our basket ball team down at Tufts — Fitchburg, 33; South Manchester, 32. An. look what happened in the second game! 18 The Merchant of Venice (C. Moeckel) borrows foun- tain pen from Shylock (Laby Lowis) who swears to get revenge and the fountain pen. The Duke of Venice (Eddie Stebbins) auctions off Shylocks' property for forty-four cents. Bassanio (E. Allen) offers to loan Shylock forty-four cents for three months at six per cent, but is refused. Portia (R. Childs) de- livers extemporaneous address on Mercy to Antonio. 19 We're sure glad that Brockton copped the New Eng- land championship, as long as Portsmouth eliminated our byes. Congratulations! 20 The wearin' o' the green will be limited to ladies' hats and sweaters till next St. Patrick's day. 21 Wallie Hannon has dispensed with his red tie. It was aflyin' in the faces o' Providence to wear that Bolshevik cravat. 22 A Doighty Trick Jimmie McGrath played a doighty Irish trick on Spike O'Horo, t'other night. (Telephone conversation.) McGrath: Is this Mrs. O'Horo? This is Mr. McNamara. Will, your son is doing verra poorly in Physics o' late. Mrs. O'Horo: That so? Well, he don't go out much of an evenin', but he won't go out at all any more! 23 Hershey don't put much action into the second act of Merely Mary Ann. There's lots of people as would appreci- ate the chance to understudy o'ye, Sam! 24 Great rejicin' in Milly kangas' family. He's plugged in two bits for a hair-cut. Ye didn't catch cold, did ye, Milly? 25 Stone ought to hold out his hand when he goes around a corner. He neither looks to the right nor the left. 26 L. Goodspeed is the class mechanic. Oi wonder if he could fix the A. H. clock. Thot would be a good job for Thos. A. Edison. 27 The Chronologist's parable had to be excommunicated. 28 C. T. is wearing dark glasses. He must have thried to look out of the City Hall windows, begorra. 29 High School can't run in competition to a day like this. Where were you the last four periods on Wednesday, Mr. Roche? 30 Here we were almost ready to go swimming, and along comes a blizzard. Anybody that can live'n New England won't mind Hades at all, O'im thinkin'. 31 Miss Bab McGee speaks fir fifteen minutes on the rasins for the Red and Gray. APRIL 1 All fool's day. The Juniors are celebrating in a suitable manner. 2 Well, King Winter played a nice trick on us, covering the ground with a foot of snow. 3 Spring Has Came What tho' the winter winds do blow, What tho' the air be full of snow, Aprils' come and March must go For a long rest. King Winter's pow'r has waned and gone, The snow man's melting on our lawn; My heavy overcoat's in pawn; I've shed my vest. The Storm King's strength cannot endure; And Jack Frost's grasp is none too sure; While Northland calls the birds do lure From Southland nests. And on our busy thoroughfares The merchants show their spring time wares; Perspiring men take Spring's bold dares To shed their vests. I've put my heavy clothes away Where moth and rust can have full sway; And I am feeling great today Without my vest. But if tonight I have a cold Tomorrow I'll not feel so bold Cause everyone I've gone and told Has shed his vest. 4 During the month of April this department will be assisted by A. Bone Hed, the Freshman shark. 5 Them Seniors are pretty nice. Them Juniors think they're pretty nice. Them Sophs, know they're pretty nice. I wisht I wuz a Senior. Then I could talk in the corridor without gettin' no morning sessions. 6 Our baseball squad is out(doors). Play ball! Ain't it a gra-a-an' and glorious feeling? 7 Prize speakin'. Them seniors done drew down a sec- ond anyway. Congratulations, Dot! 8 Where is my wandering boy tonight? said Mrs. White- head about two a. m. We wonder. 9 Everybody went to church today, cause it's Palm Sun- day. They don't give souvenirs every week. 10 I fear that a re-assignemnt of seats in Room 26 is pending. That Keaveny, Garvey, Mack, Keating, Hayes, Lahti, Mclnerny, O'Horo combination is driving Mr. Howe crazy. 1 1 Frog Lavery looks as though he'd been burning the midnight oil. You shouldn't study so much. Frog. 12 We hear that the powers that be are having lengthly conversations on waywardness of present generation. 13 Gollies, but the calendar only missed one day from making this Friday the thirteenth, Here's luck! 14 Jimmy Mac is chasing up the unpaid dues. 15 Saturday must come often in Heaven. 16 Easter — Fggs, lilies, spring hats, sunshine and gladness! 17 School — Fried eggs, old lids, rain and gloom! 18 What goes up must come down. The girls are trying to prove that this fundamental law of Physics is untrue — i.e. bobbed hair and skirts. 19 Patriot's Day — Worcester North Almost a baseball game. Fitchburg kayos Worcester at the end of the 12th round. 20 Wish't that vacashum wuz next week. We has bin having lots of tests. 21 Red and Gray Night — John Thomas, Sam Hershey — Fun, laughter. 22 Returns from G. I. C. tag day $82.00. The fellers made the tags, and then had to buy 'em! 23 Fddie Mullen's a canary in Merely Mary Ann! 24 Big political scandal in 1922. Wickedness of Nathaniel Tufts exposed. See tomorrow's paper. 25 N. Tufts, alias John Fagan, district attorney in De- bating Club Mock Trial, steals Attorney Jake Smith's evidence, and trial of Harry Hayes, accused of stealing valuable necklace, is postponed indefinitely. Chief Justice Hodge has removed Mr. Tufts, or Mr. Fagan as he is known in the criminal world, from office on the grounds of insanity, irregularity, insuboridnation, intemperance, kleptomania, and crimnial tendencies. Foreman of the jury, F. M. Howe, known in judicial circles as Pop, said that Mr. Tufts will be impeached. 26 Group pictures of 1922, and Class Play cast — Lotta sunshine, lotta grins — see the canary? 27 Music essay prizes. An all Senior day. Congratula- tions. All up. Yea, yea, Betty Preston — Yea, yea, Helen Heinig- — Yea, yea, Warren Nash — Yea, yea, Mr. Wallace. 28 All aboard for vacation — also for Washington with M. C. S. Vacashum When you're weary of the grind, And by your inventory find That your work is way behind, Do you think that you would mind A vacashum? America's a busy place Running at a reckless pace, And when you're lagging in the race Do you think that you'll find space For vacashum? Fverybody looks so sad, I am sure the school's gone mad! But perhaps things aren't so bad For next week we'll all be glad It's vacashum. We'll come back all tired out, While some folks won't be so stout; For we'll go away no doubt And the reason why I shout Is vacashum! . MAY 1 When April showers come in May With snow, and sleet, and ice, And we shiver along from day to day, Then May is not so nice. And when vacation days are here, One day we boil, the next we freeze. With the furnace out, we seek its cheer And try to swear between each sneeze. And when it's raining dogs and cats. W7hen we had planned to go away, Spoiling the ladies' new Spring hats, Why, then it must be May! 2 If I was the guy that made the calendar, I'd have va- cations come oftener and last longer. 3 Washington is some burg. Laby was left behind today looking at President Harding's gold piano. 4 Dadnuin challenged Sen. Lodge to a pie eating contest today. He won the standing broad grin from Mr. Coolidge by two inches. 5 Laby is a Swedish spendthrift when he gets out of town. He took E. Cairns to the show t'other evening. Well, everybody's back from the capital safe and sound. 6 Details of the Washington trip are leaking out. At Annapolis, certain young naval officers consent to have their portraits snapped. M. C. S. the perfect chaperone. 7 They stood in line quite a while to get a peep at the President. Miss Keating had various members of 1923 eating out of her fist, while Eva Baumis bewitched a chubby-faced freshman. 8 Reminiscences in Assembly : E. Cairns delivers a dis- sertation on President Harding's wonderful eyes. L. Lowis refuses to deliver extemporaneous address despite pleas of class- mates. 9 The camera revealed a lot of things at Mt. Vernon. Who had his arm around Muggsy Shea? 10 All Seniors and Juniors, knock-kneed or bow-legged, short or tall, skinny or fat, physical wrecks or athletes must enter the track meet being held simultaneously all over the Bay State. 11 Let's think about marks, the relay race, class dues, or some other serious topic. 12 Merely Mary Ann ought to make the class treasury look like a bootlegger's bank account. 13 Who said: Play ball! when Lowell went to bat? He meant Try to play ball. 14 Where was Noah when the light went out? Down in Jimmy Chalmers' cellar mixing nose paint. 15 All athletes who didn't enter track meet are marched to Crocker Field this A. M. Nash, Stone, Lowis, Parker, Pom- fret and Hooper are the big point getters. 16 M. C. S. has worn out the Washington trip, and has chosen the possibilities of next year's trip as a topic of conversa- tion. 17 Dress rehearsal for the biggest amateur dramatical tri- umph of the age. Betty Preston's latest essay will be entitled The Evolution of a Senior. 18 That certainly was a sympathetic audience at the dress rehearsal. C ertain well-known horse laughs recognized but un- described. (Hyenas and donkeys please notice.) It rained so hard that some brilliant spectator put up an umbrella. The ladies in Act IV. are forced to drink the water in which the leading man washed up. 19 Merely Mary Ann was great, You surely must admit. All the actors in the cast Helped score a great big hit, Sam and Barbara, the stars. Deserve our heart-felt praise; And may the class remember this As one of its big days. 20 Concord — almost a baseball game — almost a track meet — almost melted — Fitchburg won first but Concord got all the firsts. 21 I hope I never go to a hotter place than Fitchburg has been this week. 22 The versatile John Fagan has added acting to his list ot accomplishments and with Jerry Hayes and Jake Smith as carriers worked a clever and original fainting spell in A. H. this A.M. That is, he almost worked it, but his complexion and Jerry's grin gave it away. 23 Wonder if Mary Larsen has awaked from effects of the Senior Play? 24 Boston College High defeats F. H. S. twice. Buzz and Noah go into mourning. 25 Roche has the highest batting average (in the Patch). 26 Awfully funny things in straw hats (resurrected and re- cleaned) at the F. H. S. Who said Worcester North had a track team ? 27 Waltham's baseball team is defeated by the F. H. S. in in a fine game, 7 — 0. 28 Mr. Gegan's runners are getting readv to show their heels to 1923. 29 The Monday morning tardy list is nearly identical with the Sunday evening calling list. 30 Memorial Day — Flowers for sorrow and hope — the day of youth and old age — the soldiers who made a better America are rapidly filing past the grim sentry to join their comrades in the Great Beyond. .41 Good-bye May. You are history now. Another young lady. Miss June 1922, is here to send us out from F. H. S., into the school of Experience, JUNE W hat is so rare as a day in June? This is the month of fulfillment and promise, of attainment and commencement, of completion and beginning, of joy and sorrow. It is the last of Spring and the first of Summer. Four years of fun and work have seen us pass the four mile- stones of school life, from Freshman Philistines to intellectual Seniors. And yet it is not quite as we had anticipated. We are not as wise as we had hoped. Yes, four years for a piece of paper and a ribbon. We are not students of the F. H. S. We are not mem- bers of the Class of 1922. That indefinable something that binds us together, brotherly co-operation and common purpose, has made us permanently a part of the Red and Gray, no matter where we may go. Organized classes are nothing, but School Spirit is evertyhing. The final exams., the prom., the junior reception, the bacca- laureate address, the picnic, the class day, the graduation, the diploma, the farewells — and it is done. May the F. H. S. always point with pride to the C lass of 1922. May every member of it be worthy to be called an alumnus of the Red and Gray. Nineteen twenty-two, forever, W e are loyal, we are true, W e, thy scions, promise never Shall our deeds dishonor you. We mean all that we have spoken, We will Be and not just seem Esse quam videri, token, Of our ideal and our dream. 92 JOKES B. Preston: Does this parrot swear? Clerk: No, mum. But he's a bright bird, mum. Wouldn't take him long to learn. Customer: May I change this shirt at this counter? J. A. Smith: No, sir. You'll find the dressing room at the rear of the store. There are some queer ways about building operations? What do you mean? When a man wants to expand his building for business reasons he calls in a contractor. Doc. McMurray: There's nothing to worry about. It's only a little gathering at the back of your neck. But you must keep your eye on it. Mother (severely) : Bobby, you mustn't use those naughty words. Wherever did you learn them? Bobby: From Pa's shaving, uncle's golf, cousin Jim's Ford, and auntie's parrot! Err-atic Student (translating): The er-er-er-er-man-er-er-er-then- er-er- Professor: Don't laugh, gentlemen, to err is human. Lady (shopping): How much are these chickens, please? Storekeeper: A dollar and a half. Lady : And did you raise them yourself? Storekeeper: Yes, mum. Yesterday they were only a dollar and a quarter. Teacher: Do you know the population of Fitchburg? C. Brown, Jr. : Not all of them, ma'am. I don't live here. M. Gibson: The under crust to that chicken pie you brought me was abominably tough. Waiter: There wasn't any under crust to that pie, madam, it was served on a paper plate and you've eaten it. The Flapper's Anthem: Homme, Sweet Homme. George, you may bring me two fried eggs, some broiled Virginia ham, a pot of coffee and some rolls, said a man to a waiter on a dining car. Yassah. His companion said: You may bring me the same — wait a minute — just eliminate the eggs. Yassah. In a moment the waiter came back. 'Scuse me boss, but jest what did vou all say erbout dem aigs? I said just eliminate the eggs. Yessah. And he hurried away to the tiny kitchen. In another moment he came back once more, leaned confi- dentially and penitently over the table and said: We had a bad accident jest afo' we leave de depot dis mornin', boss, an' de liminator got busted off, right at de handle. Will you take 'em fried same as dis hyar gemmen? R. Allison: Father, where is Atoms? Mr. Allison: Atoms? I don't know, my boy. You mean Athens, probably? Robert: No, I mean Atoms — the place where everything is blown to. Artist: Now I want you to give me your candid opinion of my latest picture, old chap. Friend : My dear boy, it's quite worthless. Artist: Yes, I know that but I'm dying to hear it just the same. 94 Why didn't you send up a man to mend our electric bell? He did go, madam, but as he rang twice and got no answer, he concluded that there was no one at home. At the Lunch Counter A. Robinson: Look here, Wilson, I have just found this trouser button in my soup. Wilson (with a beaming smile): Thanks; I couldn't think what had become of it. The barber was finishing lathering a customer and was talk- ing volubly as usual. Yes, sir, he said, we have to mind what we're about here. Every time we cut a customer's face we are fined a dime, and if we make an ugly gash it costs us a quarter. Then picking up and brandishing a razor, he added: But I don't care a hang today. I've just won a dollar. In Scotland Visitor: — Dear me! Fancy your being called Robert Burns — why, that's a very well known name. Native: Nae doot it is; I've been blacksmith in the place for nigh on forty years. What are Brahms? She (at the Symphony concert): Tell me, are you fond of Brahms? He: Oh very! But I think I like shredded wheat biscuits even better. Reproduction Up at our boarding house there are two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is the living photograph of his father, and the girl is the very phonograph of her mother. I want a book for a high school boy. How about Fielding? Got anything on base-running? As Usual As usual, my monthly allowance had run short. Home went a telegram for money, as usual. Back came a check for half the amount I asked for, as usual. But I fooled them, for I had asked for twice the amount I needed, as usual. Surtax Well, my boy, do you know what 'syntax' means.-' asked the teacher. Yes, sir; the duty upon liquor. Angling note: As fish run in schools, the bookworm would seem to be the proper bait for them. Tempus Fidgits Miss Blodgett has been teaching here a long time, hasn't she? I should say she has. Why when she began teaching, she lectured on current events; now her subject is Medieval History. M. C. S. : What are you late for? Whitehead: For class. This school certainly takes an interest in a fellow, doesn't it? How's that? Well, I read that they would be very glad to hear of the death of any alumni. It was a fast one that hit Pelletier on top of the head, and the ball, bounding high, was caught by the catcher just as the umpire awoke from his nap. You're out! yelled the ump. But it hit me on the head, gasped Ray. Maybe I didn't see where it hit, but I knows the sound of wood when I hears it, and out you goes. Teacher: What side do they milk a cow on. Wyman? Charley: The outside. Father, said a boy of twelve, who was Shylock? What, exclaimed his father, have I sent you to Sunday School for the past six or seven years, only to have you ask me who Shylock was! Shame on you! Get your Bible and find out this minute. To a Little Hand Last night I held a little hand So dainty and so neat, I thought my head would hurst with joy- So wildly did it beat , No other hand unto my soul Could greater solace bring Than what I held last night which was Four aces and a king — Ex. Here, waiter, this salmon isn't nearly as fresh as that we had on Sunday. Not as fresh as that you had on Sunday, sir? Must be, sir; same salmon, sir. His First Case Rookie Sentry: Halt, who's there? Voice: Private Stock, Company C. Rookie Sentry : Advance, Private Stock, and be sampled. American Legion Where did you meet her. Out skating. Helped her with her skates. Took me an hour to get them oflf. Are you that clumsy? No, she's that attractive. — Ex. The Whistler Ella: I'm mad at Jack. Bella: So soon? W hat's wrong? Ella: He knows so many naughty songs. Bella: Does he sing them to you? Flla: No, the mean thing, he just whistles the tune. — Ex. Circumstantial Evidence The Bingville board of selectmen had held many sessions and finally formulated a set of auto laws that was the pride of the county. So the constable felt no worriment when he stopped a motorist. Ye're pinched for violatin' the auto laws, he pronounced. W hich one? inquired the traveler. Durned if 1 know, but ye certainly hain't come all the way down Main Street without bustin' one of them. Perfect Recitation What is the income tax? asked the civics teacher. When one comes into the room and sits on a tack, an- swered a student. I'm afraid you don't see the point, said the teacher. No, sir, it you did, you wouldn't sit on it. Naturally 'Twas midnight in the parlor 'Twas darkness everywhere, The silence was unbroken, for There was nobody there. Be Careful Tender mother to her son in camp: Dear Willie, don't shoot the little craps; remember they love life as well as you do. The Original Kind Johnny: What is a rain check? Mother: Don't ask such foolish questions and bother your father. You ought to know that a rain check is an um- brella — Ex. One Way Only Cop: Hey , where are you going? Don't you know that this is a one-way street? F. La very : Veil, I'm only going one way, ain't I? It looks as though Harry Hayes is waisting away. Miss Lombard: What elements did the Germans bring to this country? Moeckel: Beer and sausage. Queer Quirks Did you ever see : A stone step? A sardine box? A day pass by? A house fly? A snake dance? A mill run? A bed spring? A clock run? A chicken dressing? A peanut stand? A sausage roll? A hair dye? A brick walk? A night fall? A rolling pin? A bed tick? An ink stand? A turkey trot? A sugar bowl? Miss Foote: How can we keep peace? Schmalfuss: By keeping out of war. Facts recently uncovered in an English class about George Washington : That he had red hair, false teeth, and six toes on one foot. NEXT! - It's Easy I see! said the blind man as he took up his hammer and saw. I hear! said the deaf man as he whistled for his flock and heard. I. speak! said the dumb man as he took up a rim and spoke. — Ex. A New Club A girl who doesn't go in for sports recently confessed that she knows absolutely nothing about golf. Why! she exclaimed, I wouldn't know which end of the caddy to take hold of when I got ready to drive! Roses are red, Violets are blue, And so were I, When marks were due. Mr. McNamara: What does a balloon do when it rises? L. Lowis: It goes up. Why She Blushes They tell us of the blushing bride, Who to the altar goes, Down the aisle of the church Between the friend filled rows. There's Billy whom she motored with, And Bob with whom she swam. There's Jack — she used to golf with him, And Steve who called her Lamb. There's Ted, the football man she owned, And Don of tennis days. There's Hubert, yet, and blonde Eugene, They took her to the plays. And there is Harry, high school beau, With whom she used to mush. No wonder she's a blushing bride. Ye gods! She ought to blush — Anon. Pat: An' what did your ould woman say when ye come in at three o'clock this mornin'? Mike: Shure, the darlin' soul never said a worrd. An' I was going to have them two front teeth pulled anyways. My wife's gone to the West Indies. Jamaica? No, she wanted to go. Do ships have eyes when they go out to sea? Are there springs in the ocean bed? Does the river lose its head? Is a newspaper white when it's read? Is a baker broke when he is making dough? Is an undertaker's business dead? If you ate a square meal would the corners hurt? Can you dig with the ace of spades? Can a man marry his widow's sister? What sort of a vegetable is a policeman's beat? If a grass widower married a grass widow, would their chil- dren be grasshoppers? They also say that Mary Garvey can tell you what chews a cud.
