Fitchburg High School - Boulder Yearbook (Fitchburg, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1924 volume:

FOREWORD This book furnishes the only record which the graduating class of 1924 leaves of their activities, interests, and also of their personnel. In the publication of this volume, the Glass Book Committee has endeavored to reduce the expense as much as possible, and at the same time maintain the high standard of quality set by similar publications of previous years. With this end in view, various departments have been combined, and all pages which add nothing materially to the book have been eliminated. We have also endeavored to add a spice of originality to the contents, to deviate from set standards, and to incorporate into the book a certain degree of local color, which shall tend to recall fond memories to each individual of the class. We wish to thank those interested persons who have in any way contributed to the success of the 1924 Class Book. 2 Per Anqustd dd Aucjus-ta H J -7 p d J r r r P J I J J Tonight we meet for the parting, Tonight we say good-bye. And now for us on the road of life New tasks and duties lie. And may our hearts forever To purple and gold be true, And oh, our colors of twenty-four, We're loyal, we're loyal to you. III. And now our classmates and teachers. The hour to part draws nigh And though we cannot linger Our memories shall not die And of our dear old high school We'll ever mindful be. And oh, our class of twenty-four. We're loyal to the e, to thee. II. Through trial to triumph, our motto, Our stay in days now past. And if it's faithfully followed We'll reach success at last. Through four long years we've labored. With joys and sorrows, too, Through trial to triumph, our motto, We're loyal to you, to you.

Dick was Class Treasurer last year; but profits were small or business was poor or something so he decided to become President, instead. His genial personality has enabled him to turn possible difficulties into successes. He is following in the footsteps of his predecessor in becoming a clever platform artist. Dick is our local speed merchant, and can often be found most sunny afternoons in May and early June dashing down the 100-yard stretch. In passing we might mention Richard's several pilgrimages away from the home fireside, notably to North- ampton, Brockton, Ayer and Washington. Dick has made the class interests his first duty and been an exemplary president. Everyone likes Dick. Technical Course. Track Team, 1, 2, 3, 4. Captain. German Club. Class Play. Lempi Hukari Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young. And gay as soft, and innocent as gay! Lempi is the secretary of our class, a most efficient one, as we have learned. Lempi has a great future ahead, specializing in the selling of ribbons? She has the best of dispositions and a pleasant smile for all. Her ambition? To ac- complish the right thing. I empi, you have our curiosity aroused, what did happen September 1, 1921? College Course. Vice-President Dramatic Club. French Club, Secretary. Red and Gray Board. Vice-President Girls' Interests. Class Play. Writer of Class Song Music. Gladys Shafer Glad is witty. Glad is nice, A nd when it comes to friends, Gladys cuts the ice. Glad has worked most faithfully for two years as vice-president and tried her utmo.st to up- hold and better the class standard. Without a doubt, there never has been as worthy a vice- president as Gladys. Everyone can assure you that she has always been a friend in need, and has always had a smile ready for each and every- one. Not a class activity has come along, but what Glad has worked like a Trojan to help put it across. She especially shines at the class dances. Gladys doesn't favor the serious side of life very much, and she always has a good time. It is rumored that alumni, or maybe an alumnus, particularly hold an interest for her. Noted for her willingness and popularity. Girls' Athletics. College Course. Chorus. Dramatic Club. Class Book Committee. Benjamin Miller Marks may rise and marks may fall, but mine are high forever. Benny has maintained his high standing for four years now. This is quite a record. Aside from this he has been in various school activities, and this year has watched and collected the class money with the same thoroughness which char- acterizes his work in the classroom. When not occupied chasing A's and B's, and scaring up dues, Benny grinds out the Red and Gray, and has introduced many new novelties in the school magazine. He surely has a soft spot, if after dancing all night he is willing to escort home a young lady on a night seven below zero. He hopes to make a record at M. I. T. Technical Course. Editor-in-Chief Red and Gray. Dramatic Club. French Club. German Club. Prize Speaker. Mathematics Prize, Junior Year. 10 Helen Aalto Good things come in small packages Helen is a quietly capable and loyal member of our class. She is small, but it's quality not quantity that counts. She is an enthusiast on the subject of sports and goes to all the games. Noted for her school girl fairness. Commercial Course. Glee Club. Chorus. Dramatic Club. Bertha Ansorge What I've learned, I know To Bertha is left the honor of getting high marks — some one has to. She can sing too, hon- est, though she never brags about it. Bertha's perseverance is seldom surpassed. Noted for her studious aspect. Commercial Course. Chorus. I Frederick Atkins I wandered lonely as a cloud Fred isn't one of those fellows that moves with a crowd at his heels. There is a pleasure in your own company that you can't get in a crowd. It's a difficult task to find Fred behind those glasses that hide those twinkling eyes. Fred uses all his influence with Miss Haskins, and all he gets is a seventh period. He has a notorious chuckle which gets him into all kinds of difficulties. Technical Course. Dramatic Club. W illiam Atkinson He's seven feet quiet Bill is just one of the class who studies, works, and has a good time, too. He studies at H. S., works at Brockelnian's, and plays everywhere. He offers friendly service free. Noted for his proficiency in Mechanical Draw- ing? General Course. Viola Ballou Her heart is in her work Vi may appear to be quiet but appearances are often deceitful, and so it is in this case, for Vi is full of fun. In her work she is always neat and careful; and when she decides a thing can be done, well, look out for Vi will do it. She proved that in shorthand her Junior year, and many other times at school and camp. Vi loves a good time and at a party not only Viola has a good time but everybody else. Commercial Course. Chorus. Elizabeth Bangs She is so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition Things surely hum when Betty is around. She had a fondness, as some know, for writing letters to Daddy Dear. Betty is one of the few who help Mr. Hubbard maintain his Civics Class. Good times figure in her routine and shall we add Hallowe'en parties? Betty in- tends to be chief librarian here, some day; we hope so, too. Favorite expression: I'll meet you at Shea's at — College Course. Dramatic Club. Red and Gray. Class Play. 1 Ernest Barter li'ork, I 7cork, oh hoiv I luorkl This is tile (luolalion 1 liat applies to Ernest, lie is a part-time sliidcnt wlno stutiies very liard, He worlvs part ol' tlie time at City I lail and tlie other half is spent in school. Besides this, Ernest is an exjionent of thrift. Where do you find time, Ernest? As far as we know he has no interest in the girls, and is noted for his good behavior. Commercial Course. Bertha Bauman We've eyes not made to flirt loith Bertha would make a good mate on a ship, as she is always on the lookout. It is easily seen, also, that she is not the only one who enjoys these good times. Perhaps it is something lie- sides her eyes that attract. Bertha is an out-of- door girl and enjoys hiking. Commercial Course. Francis Beer you're looking for action, you're loohiiig for Francis The hoy from West Fitchburg who wears the llashy neckties. He is the greatest little rumpus raiser in our midst. Mr. Beer is one of our most talented local alibi artists. Frankie, by a single twist of the wrist, causes the West Fitchburg car to arrive an hour or two later than usual. Of course the F. L. has something to do with these queer phenomena but Mr. Beer seems to be their Jonah. His very presence seems to cause a stalling of traffic. Technical Course. Waldemar I. Bendz Nor time or coin I'll lose or idly spend Bill or Waldie, is the gentleman with the wild wave, and it has been necessary for him to use violent methods to tame said waves in times past. Bill is the Radiotrician of '24. If (jn wish to know about neutrodynes, ask him. lie wished to take singing but Mr. Boson found that it would be necessary to secure a iiiano going several octaves lower. He has taken ut) welfare work, being sure that a certain Fresh- man in lecture has all the attention necessary. Noted for his long stride. An efficient business manager of the Class Book. Technical Course. Class Book Committee. Dramatic Club. French Club. Irving Bennett No one can live and be luise at the same time Harry Beau Brummel, better known as Irving, is popular. He is fond of the girls, more es- pecially, girl. We hear that he is an efficient shoe salesman at Goodwin's. Irv surprised him- self by his newly found genius for writing. His Red and Gray story was a corker. General Course. Noted for his sleek hair. Class Book Committee. Commercial Course. Track 2, 3. Class Play. Ivonetta Bickford Nor pass the words as idle phrases by; Stranger! I never writ a flattery, nor signed the page that registered a lie Iva is one of those you-just-can't-help liking girls. A faithful and conscientious worker in everything. Iva's ambition is to be a music teacher, and who can doubt but that she will succeed! She just bubbles over with good will and friendliness. Carry on, Iva! General Course. Dramatic Club. Girls' Interests. Alice Bigelow She talks and talks and talks Ye Gods, how she talks! Alice is noisy, just noisy. Whenever she is around you know it. You will always find Alice with Teddy. Alice has added to the class achievement by her participation in prize speaking contests. Noted for her pronounced ability in conversa- tion. Public Speaking Contest. College Course. Glee Club. Mada Bingham Shy and retiring Mada lives in the wilds of Fitchburg coinmonly called Pearl Hill, yet she is seldom late. Her favorite amusement is studying. Mada is one of the girls who believes work is play. Noted for her shy smile, which lights up an ethereal, quiet, and serene countenance. Commercial Course. Chorus. Willard Blackwood Music hath charms — hut I'm not musical Of course that does not mean that he has no charms. Every September Will journeys from the wilds of Maine to join our class. Must be some attraction. He is one of Miss Haskins's pets. His favorite pastime is reading the paper. Technical Course. Dorothy Borowsky Where did you get your eyes so blue? Dot is very mild in appearance and her coun- tenance is always wreathed in a smile. We should find it hard to get along without Dot, for her sunny smiles have made her popular. She is very fond of studying and is always seen carrying many books??? Wherever you see Dot you see Rose. Commercial Course Alice Boucher Ic i on park Francais Alice comes from Cleghorn and arrives early enough to look over her books; for, when she is home, study is never thought of. We wonder who the lucky man is now, Alice? Is it still Francis or have you decided to change again? Alice is no great lover of dancing so we wonder where she spends her time. Where you see Alice, you will see Elsie. Commercial Course. Chorus. Leo Bourdeau His limbs are cut in manly mold For hardy sports in contest bold. Sleuth was the captain of our basket ball team and was responsible for a great deal of its success. Not only in basket ball does he shine, but also in football and baseball. In fact Sleuth is one of our typical athletes. Breezy and Sleuth are in- separable. We know that Sleuth will star in college. Noted for his aljility to smile when things go wrong, and to Jiiake them right. General Course. Basket ball 3, 4. Football 3 4 Baseball 3, 4. Herbert Bousquet Oh, what may man within him hide Tho' angel on the outivard side. Biscuit is (]uile a boy, and worked hard to make the footi)ali team this year. He wears some loud socks and he claims that his mother buys them, but we think that he does it because he loves colors. He has been known to make strange sounds in the assembly hall during the singing period. What about that trip to Worcester? He was one of the loyal rooters that went with the team to Brockton. Famous for his gentlemanly demeanor in the theatres. Technical Course. Class Book Committee. Grace Bowes I'll be merry and free I'll be sad for nobody Grace has been with us four years and we have all enjoyed her company. She is quite popular among both girls and boys. She also has quite an attraction for Springfield and Fords. We wonder why? She is seen quite often with Anna and when we see Anna we know Grace is near. She spends her summers at Northfield Seminary and always seems to have a good time. Mt. Hermon also has an attraction for her. General Course. Rose Brack won't play if I can't be teacher Rose is a good sport and always seems to have a good time. It is rumored that Rose has a bad case of boys, but, what's in a rumor? Friends she has many. Rose would make a good cheer leader, for, when she lets out a war whoop, it can be heard all over the building. Noted for a wonderful complexion. Commercial Course. Helena Brockelman I am no orator, as Brutus zvas; I only talk right on. Helena can talk, she has proved that. She can act, we've seen her. Her imitations of an old maid are so realistic that we fear for her. 'l o be a Latin teacher is her aim anfl she is taking notes. Beware, Mr. Hubbard. During her Senior year, Helena went out for hockey, but, sad to relate, she has failed to learn that the object is to hit the ball not to dig holes. Noted for her expressions. College Course. President Dramatic Club. Red and Gray. Class Book Committee. P'rench Club. Louis Brodsky He is a man of silence and of sense Doc was once an industrial but there are all boys in the class; and, well, he changed his course. He has been one of our real fellows during the year. Doc is always making someone laugh. Doc is disgusted — he can't throw his line in law. Too bad! As a student. Doc is a good story teller. He is also a great singer. General Course. Chorus. Vivian Brooks There is no great genius free from some tincture of tnadness Viv spends her leisure hours at Cumings Theatre ushering young men, preferably. She managed the hockey team and designed gradua- tion dresses. That's enough for one Senior who must spend considerable time in conversation? Later, V. is ambitious to drive her Packard. Good luck, Viv! Commercial Course. Dramatic Club. French Club. Dorothy Bruce Never less alone Than when alone Dot helped hold up the class honor. Teachers, I wonder if our friend, Dot, will ever forget her books and think of well, you know. We hear Dot is going to Wellesley; we wish her luck.

Joseph Buono The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient Joe use to belong in Westminster, but he evi- dently saw the light and moved to the manly wilds of our beloved city to make his habitat. Joe was assistant baseball manager his Junior year, and this year he was rewarded by being made manager. Here he showed himself a hard worker. His voice is always a source of great pleasure and encouragement to Mr. Boson. (?) Technical Course. Chorus. Baseball Manager. 1 Mary Burke There's a gude time coming Mary, when in school, tends strictly to busi- ness and doesn't show the vivacity seen outside. She is almost always with Vi; when not here with Al. Maybe there is someone else; of course we can't say. Mary's solos are always a wel- come addition to any occasion. Noted for her singing. General Course. Evelyn Burnett Most divinely tall and almost fair!! Ev likes to have a great deal of fun and also to do her lessons. She helps run Hardy's Foun- dry in the afternoon.

Noted for her constancy to Dot and Sully. Commercial Course. Marion Burns They tJiat tneet me always like me This quotation certainly applies to Marion. When you meet her you find her always the same. She spends a great deal of her time in the 5 to 50c. store and the rest of the time is spent with one of our post-graduates. She does not care for studies or perhaps it is that she does not find time. Guess which She is noted for her smile. Commercial Course. 0 Florence Carpenter Fun has no limits The above saying certainly holds true for Flossie. She always enjoys a good time. She is an indispensable member of the hockey team and likes basket ball just as well. She left us early in the year. Commercial Course. Mildred Carson Come on over on the stmny side of life, It's only a matter of choice Milly comes all the way from Shirley every- day and we feel sure we should miss her if she didn't. She has a happy smile and a cheery Hello for every one and she is always brim full of fun. The only worry Mildred causes is lest, in chemistry, she will blow up the building. Mildred is a good sport, full of fun, and laughter. General Course. George Cashman Who is greater than I? This is the quotation that applies to George. He is a great lover of machines and that ac- counts for his being a sheik among the girls. He does not seem to care very much for rooms 34 or 26. Well, we will tell you why. He was sent every day in his Junior year from 34 to 26, so he does not care to entertain 26 any more, and he keeps from 34. He is noted for the entertainments, his gang, and his wise cracks. Commercial Course. Mary Charles What is so sacred as knowledge? Judging from Mary's report card she is one of the bright lights of the class. Every other week she keeps store for her dad. We feel sure there is a long and prosperous career ahead of her. Noted for her wavy hair. Part-time Commercial Course.

He likes to study, but hates to take home any books. He is noted for his shorthand speed? Commercial Course. Leo Clark Gee, hut I'm a busy man Clarky, owing possibly to his arduous duties as chief bundle clerk at Drury's, does not seem to exhibit very lively interest in our school ac- tivities. Leo started to step out this year. Went to dances 'n everything. He is a persistent musician. He attains great heights in practice and does his corneting in the attic. Technical Course. Alfred Cobb Oh! I'm the Sheik Al is our foremost exponent of classical danc- ing? A great future awaits Al but first he must dye his fair hair, and then he'll be Rudolph's counterfeit. The Freshman class has a strange fascination (most unbecoming to a Senior) for Al. Be careful of these sheiks, J. P. Al's one fault is his weakness on the subject of quarters. Noted for his nonsense and his dancing. College Course. Class Book Committee. Dramatic Club. Class Play. Alice Cole Silence is golden Alice comes from way down there ever morning to enlighten our hearts with the Shirle news. She is studious, but still she doesn't seem to exert herself, and is not known to have spoken unless called upon. Commercial Course. Lillian Connors Small, but Oh, My! Lillian may be small. She certainly makes up for it in other ways. We know that she is full of fun and always ready for a good time. However, part of Lillian's time is spent in studying and the other part is spent in Walter's new Durant. She is always waiting for him at night when she is coming home from work. Commercial Course. Glee Club. Milton Cookson Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching! Who was it at the prize speaking contest that made such a hit? Milton, of course.

Noted for his grin and oratorical ability. Technical Course. Prize speaking. Glee Club. Edward Corcoran Of quiet and studions iispir is lie W hen no( in actual recilalion l ddy may usu- ally he found in the corridors, expounding learnedly to a motley crowd on the merits of this, that, and the other thing. Occasionally we see him teasing Miss GifforcL Where does he get that Huffy hair? Eddy's smile is very con- tagious, and it is seldom that we see him with a frown. Noted for his sunny disposition and that hair. Technical Course. Charles Daby Serene I fold my hands and wait Everything comes to him who waits. Charlie is going to get his some day.

Wayne Dana Who rideth so late through the night wind wild? Wayne Dana, of course, in his imported Uni- versal car. We note that he uses the lap to keep the sun and rain ofT the hood. Use Valspar, Wayne. Miss Fitzgibbons and Wayne are sure hard to stick on Civics, even the Eighteenth Amendment can't fool Wayne. We certainly like parties, don't we? And then we always get the blame. If all rooters v ere like Wayne we shouldn't need a cheer leader. Just ask Fisher. Noted for his wicked side burns, his Civics, and his speed. Technical Course. Class Book Committee. Archie Dauphin Slow but sure Archie is slow but that is because all large bodies move slowly. He is a Radio King accord- ing to him and he comes every day into class trying to convince the teacher that he has studied his lessons. He is noted for being absent on days when he has tests or has to take exer- cises at Crocker Field. Archie cuts a large figure in the Industrial Course. Radio Club. 18 Donald Davis Curly Locks, Curly l ocks, Oh, where did you get those curly locks Although you joined us late in the Junior year we were 'ery glad to have you with us.

Josephine De Pietro I know a young lady that loves talking so inces- santly she won't give even an echo a chance Joe does not always talk, but if she once starts to argue, you might as well raise the white flag.

Guilford Dunn The em ply barrel makes the most noise Mr. Dunn can certainly make a lot of noise but he has the brains to back him up. Dun is very fond of radio. When he got his Ford — Oh, did it go?

Noted for his golden waves. General Course. Howard Eteson A little philosophy saves much worry Howie isn't exactly happy-go-lucky, but he doesn't waste much time worrying, even though he wears a serious countenance.

Noted for her ability to make fudge in a wash basin. General Cour.se. Dramatic Clul). Chorus. Bruno Fillback Know all men by their presence If this old adage will prove true for Brink, as it has for others, you can expect great things from him in the future.

When he is not clearing the black clouds of sines and cosines for his brother, he can be found in 22 studying to his own advantage. Technical Course. Waino Fillback He wears the wings of flying Mercury on his heels Waino hates to make a speech. He studies occasionally and manages to get good marks.

Sylvia Fiskaali A lassie fair, With golden hair Never a worry has she, but a devoted friend to all her classmates. Sylvia is an authority on civics, and throws quite a line in class. We expect she will some day succeed Miss Smith or Miss Fitzgibbons. Commercial Course. Chorus. May Fitzgibbon She is Utile, but she's wise. She's a terror for her size Mae has opinions of her own, and knows how to express them, sometimes to the disturbance of a quiet study period.

Noted for all the Saturday evening parties she attends. General Course. Frederick Gay There are smiles that make you happy And Fred has one of those smiles, or is it a grin? Fred's a very versatile young man when it comes to vacations. He is a first-class salesman of haberdashery, an exceptional shoe salesman, and last, we hope not least, a bookkeeper. The only fault one can find with Fred is his intense hatred of snow for any purpose but to slide on. Whom did you say you went sliding with, Fritz? Yes, we thought as much. Commercial Course.

Margaret Gustafson She impressed whate'er she looked on And her looks went everywhere We wish other boys might boast of such a sweetheart as Margaret.

Incidentally, she is devoted to Grace. Commercial Course. Class Book Committee. Bernard Moynihan Yet that severe, that earnest air, I saw, I felt it once — but where? Bun is one of our hard workers. He has a bright future as a traffic cop and transportation agent for the city, and at present is getting ex- perience running the taxi service at the Ray- mond. He has an annoying habit of falling asleep in Miss Brown's fifth hour English class, and causes no end of worry. Bun is quite a plugger when he wants to be, and we hope his luck stays with him. Noted for being the last one dressed in physical training. Commercial Course. Thomas Mulloy We've onions, and scullions, cabatches, and string beans — Tom does most of his business in the westerly section of our city. If he wished he could give you, off hand, any desired information on Brockelman's products. In school, he loves (?) most, his math. Often Tom's disarming smile helps him along when all else fails. But then, Tom is a good fellow, and all who know him like him. May he not break any mirrors! Technical Course. Kenneth Murch Man, false man. Smiling, destructive man! Lorenzo is just one of those queer ducks that loves to do something that he shouldn't. His future is not quite decided yet, but he will be either a great South American Revolutionist or the driver of the fastest moving machines. One thing the Class of '23 forgot to admit: Lorenzo founded the Mutual Admiration Society of '23 fame. You'd be surprised to know how good he is at wrecking things. Technical Course. Dramatic Club. Helena Murray My chief pleasure is in my work Lena is a part-time student and we see her only every other week. She keeps herself busy with her studies and her work shows it. She hopes to be the bookkeeper of Brooks's Drug Store in the near future. Noted for her A's and B's. Commercial Course. Ino Niemi I no usually knows Sad to relate, Ino has been seen in the corri- dors talking with a Junior! Ouch! She went on one of Miss Merriani's hikes and acquired the fine art of catching grasshoppers by their tails. She is always ready and willing to help. If you are looking for Ino, find Eva. Noted for her giggle. Commercial Course. Frances Nolan wonder why they all like me? Frances is thought of as a very good friend. She is one of our bobbed haired girls and she cer- tainly must be envied by a great many, as her hair is beautiful. Frances is not a lover of the boys as far as we know. She is a very good athlete and we wonder why it is that she did not make use of her talent in this line the last four years. She is noted for her bushy hair and her smile. Commercial Course. Chorus. Class Book Committee. Anna Nole Big brown eyes with gently drooping lids What should be said of any lady who simply must tell the latest news? Never mind if it be in English class or recess, Anna cannot resist the temptation. Is it always necessary? Ask any teacher about that.' Anna radiates good health and life. Commercial Course. Chorus. Joseph Nole On their own merits, modest men are dumb Breezy is very much interested in all the school athletics. In spite of all obstacles Joe made the baseball team last year and was elected captain this year. He was a very efficient football manager, also. Joe made his debut as an orator last year, as chairman of the ring and pin committee, and kept up the good work this year, where his grin has occasionally beamed from the A. H. platform. Joe's auburn locks have been a landmark in the school for the last four years, and are one of the seven wonders of '24. Everybody likes Joe. College Course. Football Manager 4. Baseball 3, Capt. Ba.seball 4. Leo Nourie somewhat slow in action, he is mighty slow in speech Why? Because Leo translates everything be- fore speaking. Leo is nearly an exact copy of a certain E. D. of the Industrial Course. He does his studying on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri- days in a certain amusement hall near the station. He is noted for his cheery smile and his moderate motions. If Leo were not an Industrial student the average work for the class would be lower. Industrial Course. Chorus. Radio Club. Arthur Nugent Trust him not who seems a saint Arthur is modest and bashful in school. We all wonder what is to become of that little bag that he so faithfully carries.

George Nutting Buried among my books I lie Never mind, George, it is said our books are our best friends. George is anotiier one of our class who never has to worry about marks. A's come naturally to him. He served faithfully on the Red and Gray Board for three years, and on 'arious school and class committees. This year he was President of the French Club, and was one of Miss Fuller's prodigies. When wanted outside of school, he may be located at the library. College Course. Dramatic Club.

We sincerely hope success will follow her in the future as it has in the past. Noted for her sunny smiles . Commercial Course. Helen O'Connor A light heart lives long Helen doesn't believe in worrying or studying too much. Marks do not make Helen the least l)it alarmed, and yet she has managed to have the dignified rank of Senior bestowed upon her. We have been told that Helen loves to study. No doubt she is a strong advocate of laugh and the world laughs with you, which probably is well worth following. Noted for her baby talk and giggles. Commercial Course. Margaret O'Connor Short but sweet Midgie had rather be seen than heard. How- ever, she always adds to the fun when she's around. She had a wonderful time in Civics listening to a favorite (?) pupil recite. Noted for her size. Commercial Course. Minna Oeser With a smile She lets the world by' Minna is very cheerful and full of fun, especial- ly when she is with Alice. However, Minna is most cheerful in Law when every now and then she cracks a joke in her thirst for smiles. Minna was a shark in German. How she did it, we don't know. Perhaps she has a natural ten- dency for languages. Commercial Course. German Club. Margaret O'Leary Such joy ambition finds Margaret is a good student and never leaves a thing unfinished. She is always courteous and friendly with her classmates. Her ability to finish what she begins promises well for her future. I wonder what she will do in regard to those troublesome marks of punctuation. Noted for her good qualities. Commercial Course. 37 Nora O'Leary Ah, why should life nil labor he? Norti is one of those sweet Irish lassies, and is well liked by her friends. Wherever you see Nora you always see Margaret. She likes to have a good time but only outside of school hours. Nora is a little lady at all times and is also a very conscientious student. Commercial Course. Chorus. Dorothy O'Neil Hold the fort, I am coming Dot, how does the ushering go? Be sure not to get too friendly with any actor. Dot is not a very studious person, but never mind, she is always with the majority. Shorthand holds a great appeal. Her voice often echoes and re- echoes in room 25. Noted for her style and her grin. General Course. Dramatic Club. Irene O'Neil A woman's weapon is her tongue If this is true Irene is well armed for she is quite a gay chatterer.

She also favors athletics. We wonder why. Noted for her walk. Commercial Course. Chorus. Dramatic Club. EI ma Pajala .Still waters run deep As someone has to study, Elma t houglil fully entered our class. She will most likely sport a gold F.

Arlene Peva Good talkers are found only in Paris — Villon Evidently Francois Villon never met Arlene, or he would never have made such a terrible mistake. Arlene is a perfect talker. Her recita- tions are marvels of word form and logic. But on one point her arguments are poor and some- what vague. She claims she is a man-hater, but we doubt it. Aside from talking we must admit she is a very capable person and a good chess player. Noted for her oral talks. General Course. Chorus. French Club. Arthur Phinney What would the land do without me? Art is a great fan. He is seen at all the football and basket ball games and his coaching ability is well recognized. He has a great time rattling around in Lavery's flivver. Art used to be one of the main cogs in our high school band; but this year for some reason he tendered his resigna- tion much to Mr. Boson's regret, as he was noted for being the only member of the band in tune. The corridors are quite an attraction for Mr. Phinney, and he is unfailingly seen there before school and at recess, with the gang. We all like him. Technical Course. Glee Club. Chorus. D orothy Proctor Haughty? No — looks are deceiving Dot, why don't you comb those tresses before the last minute? Dot shines in R. K. H.'s fifth hour Latin class.

If you know Dot, you're sure to like her. College Course. Dramatic Club. Chorus. Robert Proctor Music hath charms Yes, Bob can certainly play the violin. Bob is original in everything even the color of his violin. There was a time in past ages, it seems, when Bob would have time to stop, chatter, and crack a joke or two, but since he has entered the orchestra his time is extremely valuable, and so for the sake of art we have to sacrifice his com- pany. We may have our little joke on Bob but Ye are wise, and know its worth. Seen quite often in Remington's business coupe. Technical Course.

German Club. Class Book Committee. Elsa Rahmberg She held her seat, a friend to human race Elsa, who outside of school hours finds variety in dispensing sweets for others, does likewise for her classmates. Is it a part of the stickiness of the trade that lures the invitations to the Simonds' dances? Are we quite sure that Elsa is to be a schoolma'am? General Course. Claire Renaud Smiling she's seen from morn till night Claire is Lucille's twin. When you see one, you know the other is not far away. She is a part-time pupil.

Margaret Richard Content to follow when we lead the way Marg is one of our studious (?) girls, but not- withstanding this, she manages to get by.

Vice-President Radio Club. Everett Richmond The thing that I dislike about sleep is the awakening ' Before you, ladies and gentlemen, are the noble features of our football Captain, commonly called Sam. He has put Tar Hill on the map. Sam joined us in our Sophomore year and began at once to become popular with the whole school and particularly — (?), and to show us he had the goods on the gridiron. Remember Sam in the Thanksgiving game? His Junior year he won the regular position at guard, and was re- warded by being made captain this year, and though bumping up against one of the toughest propositions a captain has to face at the start and middle of the season, Sam still played the game with all his might and was one of the main cogs in the team's glorious finish. Technical Course. Football 3, Captain 4. Helena Riley A mighty hunter and her prey was — man Helen's saying is: Give me the moonlight and give me the men and I'll be happy.

James Riordan He who speaks little knoivs much James is a boy who is very quiet and who is not a great friend of the ladies. He is studious at all times in school.

Technical Course. Margaret Robbins Her voice ivas ever soft, gentle and low An excellent thing in a woman Margaret comes so far to school that she has to have a chauffeur, summer and winter. Al- though Margaret is considered a quiet girl by strangers, those who know her best can tell you she is always ready for a good time.

Pauline Roberge 'Tis a condition that confronts us, not a theory Ladies and gentlemen, behold here the only one to whom Miss Fitzgibbon ever said: Oh, I don't want to call on you, you've recited enough already! After that, the very least we can prophesy for Pauline is a brilliant career as a politician, though no one can measure the heights to which she may climb. At any rate we wish her luck in all she undertakes, and ask her to give us her autograph when she is our first woman president. Noted for her wide reading. Commercial Course. 41 Eleanor Rogers A friend in nerd is a friend indeed Eleanor has lived up to tiiat motto more than once when she has helped lier friends in studies, and also at other times.

Vieno Saari like fun, like everyone Vieno is one of our jolliest girls. Nol hing ever worries her, and she is right there when there's fun arounfl. She believes that much study is a worrier of flesh. We hear she waits until every- body else is in recitations Ijefore she enters D. H., the fourth hour, in order that she may use the pictures as a looking glass. Is it because she is primping for the girls? Her giggle makes her famous. General Course. Dramatic Club. German Club. Glee Club. Kalervo Saila Go West, young man, go West Chub, as he is better known, believes in this for it has been heard that he has a friend out there. Perhaps that is why he is so modest in our midst. His ambition is to become an elec- trical engineer, and he is also said to be a Radio Bug. Chub is very fond of camping and hiking, perhaps some day he will hike out West. He has always been an asset to the Class of '24 and we wish him bon voyage. Noted for his modesty and flaxen hair. Technical Course. French Club.

He descended in our midst a year or so ago, has since helped to a large extent in keeping things livened up. Patsy tried hard to replace Joe Miller on the football team, but, alas! size is oft discouraging, and effort counts for naught. But he had a great time at the foot- ball camp.

Mildred Siart And such a one do I remember, Whom to look at was to live Because Buddy always makes life interesting lor those about her, we wonder how we can get along without her. Is it because of the harmony siie brings out of a few ivory keys that make and keep her friends, plus those dimples and blue fves? We are glad to include her in the Class Book although she has found it necessary to move to Worcester. Commercial Course. 1 Edna Siipola Quiet she is, forsooth, not vain.

M's. Industrial Course. Radio Club. Celia Smith Quiet I am, till music begins Cis knows her lessons at all times, but how she does it no one knows. She works in the bank for Mr. Jeffrey, and goes to all the dances with H. B. The rest of the time is spent with Mae. We don't think Miss Brown will be sorry when Mae and Celia graduate for she spends most of her time telling them to stop talking. It would be thought queer by the clerks in Anastos if they did not see Cis and Mae coming in for their Buffalo Dip after school. Commercial Course. Lillian Smith That amiable, unaffected, presence We are glad that Lillian is one of our class. Although she never says much we believe she knows a good deal. Her marks prove this fact.

Dorothy Stark Who says little has little to answer Dot is a busy person of the Commercial Course who comes from up West.

Industrial Course. Anna St. Pierre All will spy in thy face A blushing womanly-discovering grace At school, Anna is a very quiet demure miss, but we hear a different report from Cleghorn. Anna is always right there when it comes to studying. We hear that she is so devoted to her outside job that she counts wrong when it is time to return to the job in school. This must be a good recommendation for business. Commercial Course. Eileen Sullivan IIow far this Utile candle throws its light Sully keeps things on the jum]) in Putnam's employment office where she spends the after- noons. Sully is fond of dancing and of [jarties. Our Junior year she was the hockey captain and made things hot for the person playing opjxjsite her this year. .She plays on our basket ball team and is on the relay team.

Herbert Sullivan Good morning to you, good morning to you, Good morning, dear children, good morning to you The above is Sully's pleasant greeting to the children, Dick and Glad, in English early in the morning. These last four years have broadened Spudsie beyond all power of comprehension. Spudsie is king of the Photo Committee. He sure had a trying task trying to round us all up and get our profiles for the Class Book. He also has other distinguishing marks: he is a leader of the Fairbanks's Corner Social Set, and he has run around the track more than anyone else, to make the relay team. Where's his medal?

Celia Suomala As like in characteristics as two peas, Celia and Martha If an unostentatious attention to duty be a virtue, then Celia is splendidly virtuous, for her motto seems to be: First things first. Duty means responsibility; responsibility means relia- bility, and reliability means Celia. Commercial Course. Chorus. Harry Swanson Hail to thee, blithe spirit Harry is happy to sit still and watch the rest move on. He gets real joy out of it, too; ask him. Harry has a peculiar and unreasonable habit of getting to school very early. He is small, so that is probably why there is no ripple when he passes through the the crowd. But never mind, Harry, it's spirit that keeps the world going, not the ripples. General Course. Margaret Swanson The more I see of other folks, tlie more I think of you The above sally surely gives our impression of Dovey to a T.

He doesn't say much about school, but his eyes are always open, especially when the Freshmen are coming in.

Mildred Sword As chaste as unsunned snows It's a great pleasure as well as a plague to have a sister in the same class, so thinks Mildred. She spends part of the fourth period convincing Miss Smith that she is Mildred and not DoUy. We think her education has been sadly neglected because she never visits Miss Haskins's afternoon gatherings. Like her sister, she believes in work before pleasure. Commercial Course. Chorus. Lillian Syrjala Let me live a life unknown Lillian is a pensive classmate, shy, and re- served. She is always busily engaged in her studies in school and at home, and believes in the maxim Children should be seen but not heard. Did she ever get a mark below honor? Noted for her reliability. Class Book typist. Chorus. Commercial Course. Dorothy Talcott A simple maid and proper loo Dorothy looks like one of those girls that would sacrifice anything for studying. Well, she certainly doesn't and we don't blame her. The boys don't seem to bother Dot, in fact, nothing seems to worry her. The happy-go- lucky. She loves riding and radio from all tales. Commercial Course. George Talcott Bowed with the weight of centuries, he leans George is, without doubt, our wisest sage. His every deed is a result of deep thought. We have yet to be convinced of his wisdom in playing basket ball. Why should people waste precious time in simply tossing an expensive pigskin through a hole? A great many of us wonder what use we shall have for a bass drum after George leaves the Band. His flourish of the drum stick has become as much an institution in our school as the statue of Gus Ceasar, the Lunch Counter, or Miss Haskins's afternoon class. He also has a very stunning uniform that would be absolutely wasted on anyone else. Noted for his ability, scholarship, and stride. General Course. Band. Chorus. Rose Tater You hear the girl laughing, you think she's all fun. But the angels know well all the good she has done Rose is fond of her books and intends to be the most efficient stenographer in Fitchburg. Perhaps she will own her own letter shop. In school Rose is an unobstrusive but hard working member of our class. Her thoughtfulness for others is one of her best recommendations. Noted for her constancy to Dot. Commercial Course. Edward R. Terrill He speaks much hut says little Afternoons, Lefty can generally be heard at the Y. M. where he instructs all those who care to listen in the games of pool and ping-pong. He is also generally seen playing basket ball or at the movie, for which he acts as censor and critic free of charge. He has no special interest in any one young lady that we know of, but we do know that he is interested in them all. This year Lefty stepped, and took in all the dances. He suffers no discomforture because of his marks. Technical Course. Dramatic Club. Bernice Thompson Twas not the hasty product of a day, But the well-ripen' d fruit of wise delay Bernice is a newly acquired classmate just come to our school this year. She lives in the wee town of Lunenburg, and attended high school in Belmont for three years. Although she has only been with us for a short time she has days returning change and wrapping up packages for the busy shoppers. Commercial Course. Harold Trosterud Six feet two in his stocking feet Lank is rather bashful with the girls in school but he seems to be pretty fond of them outside. He goes to church and Sunday School pretty often. Studies occasionally cause a wrinkle to crease his placid brow. Lank is often found at the bottom of all mischief. His favorite situation is at the back of a classroom, where he escapes notice. (jeneral Course. Chorus. Gertrude Trottier With mirth and laughter let old age come Cert believes in getting some pleasure out of youth. She was never known to study to excess. Perhaps that's the reason why Gert loves her lessons so well. I don't believe Gert was made to be a schoolma'am. She is very fond of spring- ing jokes, especially on the janitor. Chorus. General Course. Edward Tully may be so, hut I don't know It sounds so queer to me. Eddie represented the city at the Citizens' Military Training Camp last summer and done his duty noble. After getting in condition by drilling, marching, mopping floors, and one thing or another, Eddie came back to school, and with much faithful plugging was able to step right in and fill the gap, caused by loss of regulars at the fullback position, on the football team. Eddie won his letter. Eddie ta.xes Miss Haskins's re- sources to the limit, thinking up unique methods of discipline. But then, the closet is always handy. College Course. Football 4.

Chorus. 49 Arne Wahtola Small, but so was Steinmetz Arne is small, but O. K. What a pest he can be! He is as full of mischief as an egg is of meat. Of late he has been a thorn in Mr. Hunter's side. Being a member of the Industrial Course, he is very industrious and lets nothing interfere with his studies. During all his high school years his marks have been of the best and a credit to his course. He must be in line for a gold F. Industrial Course. Radio Club. Class Book Committee.

Noted for her obliging good humor. General Course. Chorus. Gertrude Walsh Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live Gert is quite a girl. She is a close follower of Ruth. Where you find one, you find the other. We know that Gert's hobby isn't studying Civics. How about it, Gert? Her pleasing per- sonality has won her many friends. She isn't a lover of work but is a faithful member of the crew in Woolworth's 5 and 10c. store. Commercial Course. Harold Watton Ah, love, they say, is king of kings Harold is known by two names, that is The Sheik of Shirley, and The Sheik of the Indus- trial Course. Why? His friends say he even dreams of girls! Harold is a good all-round fellow to have as a chum. Noted for his pompadour and his faithfulness to the band. Industrial Course. Band. Dorothy Werner A girl to all her classmates dear Dot is one of the breeziest girls of our class. Four years, however, has converted her into a bright and dignified senior. Although we feel certain Dot's career as a schoolma'am will not be lengthy, yet we know it will be successful. We have never heard of her as not having her lessons done. She enjoys camping. Noted for being good natured. College Course. Class Play. Dramatic Club. Red and Gray Board. French Club. Chorus. Annie Wilcox And still her learning with her days increased Annie is most studious and she was never known to come to school with her lessons un- prepared.

CLASS CREED Not as a leader from earth to Heaven Not as a witness to any creed, But simple service simply given To his own kind in the common need Kipling THE WINNERS OF THE GOLD F The Class of 1923, realizing that perhaps too little recogni- tion is accorded scholastic record, generously voted a fund to be used in purchasing gold letter F's, to be awarded to the members of the graduating class, who at the end of the third marking period of their senior year, ranked either A or B in all major subjects pursued during the Junior and Senior years in the Fitchburg High School.

Assembly Hall resembles the Black Hole of Calcutta. 18 Few Seniors, some Juniors, mostly Sophs, join piano wreckers' union, when Principal Woodbury orders the Baby Grand lifted on to the Assembly Hall platform. The Baby Grand is some infant! 19 Miss Gifford's sixth hour Latin class ought to be a good one. The Seniors, of course, will be good examples to the little ones. ;3 20 Regular chorus work to-day. Now that the novelty of the new singing course has worn off, we begin to look around. Somebody accuses Mr. Boson of cheating the barber! How cruel! 21 Meeting of the Girls' Interests to-day.

Joe (after examination): What's the matter with me, Doc? The Doc: Oh, nothing much, Joe. Just a simple case of ill sorted concatenation of heterogeneous incongruities or some kindred ailment. The case presents certain electrical diagnostic and therapeutic problems from the standpoint of the neuro- psychiatrist, that are extremely interesting. Oh, yes, you'll sur- vive all right, Joe. Yes, Joe is still very much alive, but we're glad we know what was the matter with him. 11 It was decided that neither Miss Smith nor Miss Gifford were to be maligned, slandered, libeled, or razzed in this book. We are striving for originality. 12 Columbus Day. We celebrated the holiday by burying Worcester North 63 to 0! Worcester put up a great fight.

Mr. Jefi rey, of the faculty, the class officers, the editor of the year book, and the cheer leader all spoke. School on edge for the Waltham game to-morrow. 20 F. H. S. 0; Waltham, 26. Something slipped. Well, the best team won. Better luck next year. 22 Mr. Hubbard makes statement about ancient Greek philosophy: The Epicureans say, 'Let us eat to-day for to- morrow we die'. Athenian high schools had lunch counters in them days without a doubt. Oh, would that we were as philosophical! 23 A certain young lady in the Senior Class has just learned the folly of gambling. You're a good sport, anyway, Helena. Too bad your hair isn't short. 26 Because of a Junior Assembly, we Seniors who contem- plate going to another school next year, are herded into room 26, and given some choice bits of advice, free of charge, about our method of procedure when away from home for the first time.

Songs and piano selections were enjoyed by all. 10 Brockton, 16, F. H. S. 0. The score was deceiving. Many loyal rooters accompanied the team. Autos were in great demand. Brockton gave us a fine reception, which we certainly appreciate. Between the halves the Brockton student band of about twenty pieces came over to the Fitchburg stands and played. The field, though not as fine as Crocker Field, is a credit to the city. After the game many downcast Fitchburg adherents quickly recovered their spirits as the Beantown and outlying districts will bear witness. Boston's theatres were swamped, possibly to their regret! Patsy hunts for a wishbone. 12 Several members of our class blossom out in neckties and socks all of a similar hue, — Boston's best and latest. Dick is going to will Gladys the tie that can talk. 15 The Red and Gray Board entertains us in the Assembly Hall. Edgar Guest, poet, newspaperman, and lecturer gave an as interesting talk as we have heard for many a day. Everybody was so taken with him, that he was even encored!

The girls of Miss Stratton's first hour English class give a one-act play : Solemn Pride. Helena proves she is some actress. Afterwards Doc. McMurray, Denny Gildea, C. N. A., Dick Lilly, Joe Nole, and others take charge of affairs and turn the assembly into an enthusiastic Pep meeting. Dick announces he wants his picture hung in the Assembly Hall. Time will tell. Denny makes a great speech and brings the house down. The Doc in rare form. Coach orates. Joe Nole grins. We yell. Good for two periods. 24 Rain, no game. 26 Proviso reaches Boston. The enemy approaches. 27 We're all het up over the game. This suspense is awful. 28 Delegation goes to Boston in cars to get the Proviso gang. Great strategy by Dr, Carriere. The visitors are taken over historic spots: Concord, Lexington. 29 Fitchburg 7, Proviso 7. Thanksgiving. Everybody great! What would we do without those Millers. Joe sure wields a million dollar toe. Thanksgiving night. Senior Class Party. Proviso bunch the guests. Assembly Hall decorated in blue and white. The dance ran from 6.30 to 10.30. Proviso crowd leaving at 8. Now to watch the mail, is the slogan. During the intermission John McGrath and Mary Donnelly were the songbirds. Sophomore overcome by Johnny's voice falls upstairs twice. Everybody had a swell time. DECEMBER 3 Some assembly!! Four periods lost, strayed, or stolen, by platform tonsorial artists who stench the hall with a barrage of remarks covering everything. Everybody funny. Joe Miller makes debutt as an orator. But then the result of the game merited any display possible. 4 Back to normalcy. Wild excitement over Proviso game abates to some extent. 7 Big exodus. The F our Musketeers, Dick, Johnny, Speed, and Barney make noted pilgrimage to Northampton to observe conditions. Smith College girls all a flutter. Four handsome young college undergraduates with John Har- vard hats 'n everything suddenly descended in their midst. Oh! the gullibility of women! Comment trouvez-vous la scenery de Northampton, Jawn? Oh! Tres bien! Tres bien! Brooks's Chevrolet works overtime. 10 Return of the four prodigals with glowing tales of their adventures. Miss Dunn doles out words of wisodm about young men who etc. Her afternoon class in room 25 is assuming noisy proportions. 11 Patsy, the Scotch Wop, seen dissecting a frog in biology! Art for art's sake, Wahlio. 12 Miss Haskins is chief marshall of the first floor around 26. Who appointed her!? 13 Music, George starts a riot when he forgets to end Trancidillo with the rest. Do your Xmas shopping early, appears. December meeting of the Dramatic Club was held on Thurs- day the thirteenth, in room 22. Stunts were exhibited by various members of the Club. Prizes were awarded for the best boy's stunt and the best girl's. 14 One Act Plays called in. Many Seniors look haggard from burning midnight oil. Joe Shea writing under the nom de plum of Joe Bory, hands in excellent farce, assisted by right hand man, Hennie. The Massachusetts Board of Censors turned the offering down, for various reasons. Alas! The vissis- situdes of genius. 17 Red and Gray comes out with its great explosion of pedigreed bunk! Captain Billy's Whizbang put in the background! George M. Cohan's jokes rivaled! Something must be done! Editor's future as a yellow journalist is assured. Charac- teristic reply to a parlor joke heard in our corridor. Not a bit original, I saw that in the Red and Gray. Irv. Bennett's story makes a hit with the bachelors. Shall our School Paper become a Hearst Publication? Never! But honest! 'Twas a good issue. 19 The chronologist, searching for material for this month, chanced to let his orbs wander over the works of other classes of bygone days and was thrilled to note in the year book of 1917, that Miss Adelberta A. Haskins, well known to all our class, and intimately known to certain members whose names need not be mentioned, was in that year the renowned and 'steemed leader of the Freshmen Orchestra. Miss Haskins since then has permitted her attention to wander away from the Goddess of Harmony, and has assumed directorship over a special class of High Honor Students who flock fondly to her standard course in obedience to law is liberty. 21 Music exercises. Joe Miller was in the Line for once. Master Cashman gave an interesting reading on table etiquette. This ended the grind for a week. We learn that we must come back Monday, the 31st. This is hard on the teachers. Many parasites seen snooping around home rooms marking sheets! 31 We go back to school for one day only! We think we're gypped. The teachers are particularly sore. Epidemic of the Great white plague breaks out. Report cards. Girls' Interests dance in A. H. in afternoon from four to six. Everybody turns out, including many alumni home for holiday. JANUARY 1 Fitchburg opens the new B. F. Brown gym. The pro- gram was great but we didn't win. Score: Fitchburg 21 , Athol 29. Happy New Year. 2 Our noses return to the grindstone in earnest. The teachers insist that this is the best two months to study. We start things with a big assembly. We are informed by galaxy of talent, including both Junior and Senior male class officers, that conditions in the lunchroom are deplorable. As a result we are to have monitors, to keep us in line. We hope the situation won't be much worse. 4 Did you bring that report card? Take two sessions. Pet slogan of those in charge. Captain Bourdeau and the boys of Fitchburg High take Clinton into camp They're off, cried the monkey. 7 Bourdeau remembers to forget his card again. Miss Dunn fails to enter into the spirit of the thing. Two more ses- sions, Bourdeau. 8 Basket ball captains are elected in Senior rooms. George Talcott carries 26 unanimously. Much to the regret of all true lovers of basket ball and fair sport, Mr. Talcott resigns. 10 Big fire alarm in 22, fifth hour.

Well, how did it chip off? 16 Big concert by band, orchestra, chorus, and Glee Club under Mr. Boson's direction. Fine crowd, which thoroughly en- joyed the program, turned out. Mr. Boson certainly deserves a great deal of credit for the fine showing made by the mucisal de- partment this year. 19 The Red and Gray comes out with the best issue in years.

The writer of the theme, next day: What is this you wrote on my paper? We often wonder if King Arthur went to war in his Knight clothes. The Civil War ended at Appomatox with Lee's surrender. Lee was dressed in a handsome Confederate's uniform and all Grant had on was an old ragged Union suit. 1922 Last night I held a little hand So dainty and so neat, I thought my heart would burst with joy So wildly did it beat. No other hand unto my soul. Could greater solace bring Than that what I held last night, which was Four aces and a king. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY THE CAST Only a class like 1924 could successfully present Shakes- peare's great comedy, Twelfth Night. It was more difficult to act, and called for greater skill to interpret to the uttermost advantage, than ever before. So, after painstaking preparation, '24 reaped the fruits of its labor at Lyric Theatre, on Friday evening, the twenty-third of May. To the very large audience that enjoyed the clever and mirth provoking comedy, it was obvious why '24 boasted its All Star cast. Twelfth Night, Shakespeare's greatest comedy, has all the qualities needed to please an exacting at- tendance. It bubbles over with laughter; it is flavored with intrigue; it is seasoned with wit. An audience must be keen and alert to gather all the choice morsels of humor and philosophical maxims. Each part was admirably portrayed, and none of the superior cjualities of the play were lost in the interpretation. Pride yourselves, '24, for it will long stand as a mark to which succeeding classes may strive to reach. All details were carefully attended to, and the class is greatly indebted to those who assisted in the presentation, especially Miss Bertha Sherwin, who supervised the scenic effects; Miss Alice Hoyt, who arranged for the costuming; and Miss Helen Stratton, with whom lies the success of the play, as director and producer. The class is grateful to John McGrath, who entertained with songs and the string quartette led by Robert Proctor, who furnished music. It is interesting to know that the cyclorama used in the play, was of gold cloth, made especially for the production. It is the first one ever used in a local play.

Football this year was certainly a season of trials and tribu- lations, and ups and downs, to coaches, captain, and school alike. Facing one of the stiffest schedules in years, the team, with a good nucleus of letter men from last year's squad, started the season off auspiciously, and gave promise of developing into a formidable team, fit to be compared with last year's wonder eleven. Then came the first bad setback, in which Waltham decisively defeated us. After this game, the coaches made several shifts, particularly in the line, and things were once more running smoothly, when the loss of regulars due to studies and infringement of training rules, seriously hampered the team's prospects, and forced the coaches to send a practic- ally green team against a succession of the most formidable opponents. In the remaining games this plucky little team did extremely well, and, on Thanksgiving Day reached its topnotch form and atoned for previous reverses by pluckily battling its way to a 7 to 7 tie against the more experienced and heavier Proviso team, of Maywood, Illinois. With this moral victory, the season was finished in a blaze of glory. SCORES Sept. 29 F. H. S. 19 Oct. 6 F. H. S. 7 Oct. 12 F. H. S. 63 Oct. 20 Waltham High 26 Oct. 27 F. H. S. 56 Nov. 3 Boston Eng.

Proviso High 7 FITCHBURG— PROVISO The Proviso party arrived in Boston from Chicago, and was met by a squad of Fitchburg automobiles, Wednesday afternoon. The visitors were conducted on a sight-seeing tour through the historic points of interest in Concord and Lexington and thence to Fitchburg. Thursday, after the game both teams partook of a New England Thanksgiving Dinner served at the Hotel Raymond. The visitors attended the Senior Class Party Thanksgiving night, and departed early to catch the train for Boston and thence home. November 29 Thanksgiving Day. Verily, let us give thanks, for — Proviso came. Proviso saw, but we'll be if Proviso conquered! After having been defeated in all of our four previous attempts at intersectional conquest we succeeded at last in tying our oponents. The play in the first half of the game was nearly equal, but in the second half Fitchburg was the whole show. In the third and fourth periods Fitchburg made six first downs, to Pro- viso's two. The two outstanding plays in the first half were both made by Proviso, the first being that brilliantly executed forward pass which resulted in Proviso's touchdown, and the other, Capt. Follett's run around left end for about eighty yards. Fitchburg's score came in the final period. The pro- cedure in obtaining this coveted six points was this: Brothers Joe and Bill Miller, having decided that the ball should be a bit nearer to Proviso's goal line proceeded to put it on the yard line by a succession of good old-fashioned line smashes. At this point, as a variation in the offense, quarterback Johnny Dillon heaved a pretty pass to left end Into Jarvela, and when that youth was downed the ball rested securely on Proviso's 5-yard line. Another Miller smash, this time by elder brother Joe, and we have our coveted six points. By way of proving his versa- tility, the older Miller then proceeded to kick the goal and the score was tied. The whole Fitchburg team shone, and endeared themseK es in the hearts of the spectators by their don't give up the ship spirit. Captain Sammy Richmond played a whale of a game, and the sureness of his tackles were a joy to behold. l- ii-bt row C N. Amiott Coach, W. Sullivan, L. Bourdeau Capt Second row: W. FiUback, H.

BASKET BALL The basket ball team, with only one letter man from last year's New England Championship aggregation, was so excel- lently handled by Coach Amiott, that it was able to hand in a record of fourteen victories out of nineteen games, a record which won an invitation to partake in the Tufts All New England Tournament for the third consecutive year, a fact which speaks volumes for Coach Amiott and his system. Starting slowly, the team lost its first two games, probably due to lack of practising facilities; but with the opening of the spacious new B. F. Brown gymnasium, and the opportunity it afforded for daily practice, the team quickly caught its stride and commenced turning in victories, with the setbacks more or less of a rarity. From January 28, to February 16, the team won six games without a reverse, and then only were shaded by Brockton 11 to 14, after which they continued on their winning streak up to the day of the tournament. As in other years, the chief stumbling blocks were Brockton and Woonsocket. We were unfortunate in losing both home and abroad games to Brockton, and though overwhelmed 37 to 17 at Woonsocket, we were able to retaliate a month later and defeat the Rhode Islanders almost as decisively as they defeated us. Extremely gratifying were the results of the games with Gardner, Gloucester, Northampton, and Waltham. Gardner had a team of sufficient merit this year to warrant an invitation to the Tufts Tournament. Encountering the Fitchburg team on their own floor, and here, they were both times forced to taste defeat; the first time 20 to 13, in which game the Red and Gray was able to solve the Gardner defense with comparative ease, and kept the ball around the Chairtown basket practically the whole time. But in the second game, on our own floor, we ran up against a different team — a team bristling with determina- tion. The struggle was a nip and tuck affair, which kept the spectators on edge from start to finish. But the Red and Gray again shone brilliantly, and eventually emerged with a 25 to 23 victory. On the eve of the Tufts Tournament, we took on the crack Northampton team, last year runners up for the New England Championship. In this game, Fitchburg proved to be at the top of its stride, both offensively and defensively. For two periods, Northampton was held practically scoreless, and it was only by means of hurried shifts in the lineup, that the visitors were finally able to penetrate the Fitchburg defense to some extent in the second half. Northampton's rough playing was decidedly noticeable at the end of the fray. RESULTS OF GAMES Dec. 25 F. H. S. 9 Alumni 23 Jan. 1 F. H. S. 21 Athol 29 Jan. 4 F. H. s. 14 Clinton 7 Jan. 5 F.

THE TUFTS TOURNAMENT On March 21, playing in the first round of the tournament, the Red and Gray ran up against the strong Manchester, N. H. team which later went to the National torunanient in Chicago and partook into the semi-finals. This game with Manchester was a heartbreaker. Fitchburg outplayed and outshot the New Hampshire team from the floor, scoring 10 goals to Manchester's 6. In the shooting of fouls, though, we were extremely unfortu- nate, only scoring 3 out of 12 called fouls. In this departrnent, Manchester showed its superiority, shooting 12 out of 16 tries, which gave them the game 24 to 23. Owing to the strict referee- ing, the team lost both Dalbeck and Sullivan, on personal fouls towards the end of the game. Fillback, acting captain in place of Bourdeau, handled the team well from the floor. The team, both regulars and substi- tutes, played a hard game, and fought right through to the final whistle. They deserved better luck. 73 L'k row: J. Buono Manager, W. Sullivan, L. Leger, P. Magane, J. McGuirk, J. Hilferty, J. Dillon, Coach Gildea. Front row: L. Dalbeck, J. Miller, J. Nole Captain, F. Shields, L. Myllykangas, A. Guertin. BASEBALL The baseball team met with rather varied success this year, winning several games by overwhelming scores and also losing some by the same score. The team under Coach Gildea and Captain Joe Nole has worked hard, and we hope it will meet with the success it de- serves in the remaining games. Up to the present Fitchburg has won 6 and lost 6 games, a creditable showing. April 19 Worcester North at Crocker Field. Both teams played very good ball considering the handicap of insufficient time for practice that each team was laboring under. Gilm.artin and McGuirk were Fitchburg's pitchers and they both did well. Undoubtedly the most brilliant spot in the whole game was a triple play executed by three of Fitchburg's infielders — Leger to Guertin to Shields. Score: Fitchburg 6, Worcester North 4. April 24 Orange High School. The score, 15 to 1, in our favor, tells the story quite satis- factorily. The playing of the visitors was terrible (the scorer was very generous when he chalked up only five errors against them.) Dalbeck pitched and allowed but four hits. April 26 Athol High at Crocker Field. Perhaps Coach Gildea's absence from the bench caused the change, and perhaps it didn't, but anyway Athol beat us and, incidentally. Pitchers Gilmartin and McGuirk, to the tune of 7 to 5 here this afternoon, although we got more hits than they did and made just the same number of misplays. A.pril 30 Clinton High School. Clinton, aided by Fitchburg's misplays was able to defeat us on their own grounds by the score of 11 to 5. The contest was replete with errors, Clinton making seven and Fitchburg eleven. Captain Joe Nole made three hits. May 3 Lowell High at Crocker Field. Lowell High School was defeated here this afternoon 9 to 0. Fitchburg's play was capital in every way. McGuirk, pitching for Fitchburg allowed but two hits, both singles. May 7 Athol High School. Fitchburg was sent home from Athol today with black defeat pinned on their backs, having been beaten 14 to 8. Athol made more errors, received more passes to first and — got more hits. Leo Bourdeau pitched for several innings and did pretty well at it. May 10 Boston College High vs F. H. S. (rain). May 14 Gardner at Gardner. Gardner started in to show Fitchburg how to play baseball today — and they succeeded. At least they beat us by eight runs which they surely earned. Fitchburg derives satisfaction from the fact that Joe Nole got three hits out of five times up. May 17 Brockton High School in Fitchburg. Brockton won 7 to 4, due largely to the Red and Gray's six glaring errors. Gilmartin was knocked out of the box in the second, his successor, Dalbeck, proving invincible. May 22 Fitchburg at Orange. Tapioca Town received an awful jolt today when the Fitchburg team landed up their way and took their measure to the score of 27 to 2. Fitchburg was at bat fifty-three times, knocked eight two-baggers and made four errors. Harris, of Orange proved a great (?) puzzle to the Fitchburg batters allow- ing only thirty-two hits. May 24 Fitchburg at Lowell. Revenge is sweet, and Lowell knows it, for they beat us 14 to 2 in a slow, listless game on their home grounds today. May 28 Clinton at Crocker Field. The score being a 4 to 4 tie at the beginning of the last half of the ninth inning the Fitchburg batters determined to show a little of their stuff, which they proceeded to do in a very laud- able manner. With a man on base and one out Leger knocked a clean triple through center field which brought in the winning run. Score: Fitchburg 5, Clinton 4. May 30 Concord High at Fitchburg. Concord having passed up an easy chance to score in the eighth inning we again have the pleasure of registering a victory for Fitchburg. Score: Fitchburg 5, Concord 4. Back row: S. Hughes, W. Miller, N. Ruberti, P. Guenette, L. Jubb, E. Tupper, L. Dalbeck, D. Nathan, Coach C. N. Amiott. Front row: E. Cahalan, L Bennett, J. McGrath, R. Lilly Captain, P. Seretto, E. Corcoran, H. Bousquet, E. Suri. TRACK The track season has been a disappointment this year, Fitchburg having lost two dual meets, and registering third in the Worcester County Meet. Unfortunately, we did not have an all-round star track man like Erv Beach to fall back on when firsts and seconds were badly needed to win points. But if effort counts for anything we should have had better luck for the boys under Coach Amiott and Captain Lilly worked hard to turn in a winning team. May 7 Maynard High at Crocker Field. Maynard de- feated our track team by the score of 44 to 28, owing largely to the prowess of Frigard, the Beach of Maynard High. Bennett, of Fitchburg, did very well, however, winning two firsts and a second. May 15 Framingham High School. Bennett took first place in the quarter mile and the rest of the team took enough seconds and thirds to make up thirty-one points. Framingham, mean- while, was earning seven firsts and a total of sixty-four points! Score — Fitchburg 31, Framingham 64. May 31 Worcester County Meet. Of course we should have liked to have won and thus have made it our third straight win in as many years in this, the most important of our scheduled track meets, but we were forced to concede the meet to Worcester North, and were nosed out of second place by Worcester Com- merce by one point. Captain Lilly started ofi the meet in a very pleasing manner by running the hundred in lO io seconds, for a first place in this event. Fitchburg earned six points in the shot-put, taking second, third and fourth places. Bennett came in third in the four hundred and forty yard run, Cahalan fourth in the mile, and Dalbeck fourth in the hurdles. Worcester Commerce High won the relay race from Fitchburg by about four yards, completing the half mile in 1 minute, 38 seconds. Scores: Worcester North 253 Worcester Commerce 16 Fitchburg 16 GIRLS' ATHLETICS Hockey! What is it? How do we play it? All such ques- tions were in our minds when we were freshmen. We soon found the answer and have played hockey during our four years at High School. We have had good teams and have enjoyed play- ing it very much. But, however, the game which seems to have been the most popular is basket ball. Our freshman year we had quantity which developed into quality and each year more girls came out to play. We had good class teams our first three years. Our last year each room had a representative team. This brought more girls out for basket ball and gave many who never played before a chance to feel the real basket ball spirit. Room 25 won the Senior girl basket ball championship. In the spring, we went to Crocker Field and practised running, high jumping, broad jumping, three-legged race, and baseball and basket ball throw, preparing for the annual interclass track meet. These meets were great fun, everyone trying to win numerals, but only two of our girls were successful in winning them. Physical training! What do we think when we hear these words? — class work with marching tactics, calesthenics, dumb- bell and wand drills, practising faithfully for our class day exer- cises, track work, basket ball, and hockey. We have enjoyed all this under the direction of Leonice Brown whom we had our Freshman and Sophomore years, Muriel Leach whom we had our Junior year, and Ruth Koehler whom we had our Senior year.
