Richard Lilly Jr)v rises in )iif, like a summer's morn Dick, our illustrious president, comes from Shirley. 'Nuf sed. 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
