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. Doris Gilson Who says little has little to answer for Doris believes in the proverb, Children should be seen and not heard. She is one of the celebrated group of commuters, who get their morning exercise sprinting for the car to Fitch- burg. She inhabits Westminster. Occasion- ally Doris opens up and gives vent to words of wisdom — then a calm follows the tempest. Doris impresses one as having a background of reserve strength. First Prize in Music Essay. Commercial Course. Chorus. Charles Godley For never anything can be amiss, When simpleness and duty tend it Although Charlie has not startled us, as yet, with any of the hair-raising running down of clews, or of the thrilling captures of his noted parent, nevertheless, he is known to most of us. Noted for his prowess in P. T. (?), and his bash- ful smile. College Course. Chorus. John Goodfellow Motionless torre)its, silent cataracts This reserved little fellow is hard to get ac- quainted with, but a friend worth knowing. Being an elevator man, he has his ups and downs. We who know him best know that he doesn't shirk but pulls with the rest. Still John likes variety as he has fallen for softer articles — rugs. General Course. Louise Goodspeed Very demure and shy is she When in a crowd the above cannot be doubted, but when among few she is noted for her fun. She made us a very fine secretary our Junior year. Plays the ukelele, even aspiring to jazz. Noted for her good judgment, interest in sports, socials, and studies. College Course. Red and Gray. Dramatic Club. Chorus. Henry Groop Molasses sweet, but ohJ so slow Hennie is a tall man, and keeps in practice by walking between Upper Common and Fairbanks' Drug Store. He is a favorite with all the girls but partial to none. As far as we know there is no particular girl in the case, but we think one would be appreciated. Hennie isn't as quiet as he looks. When he enters a recitation room the teachers all recognize him and his silent partner, trouble, and are prepared for the worst. Wher- ever you see Henry you might expect to see Joe. Noted for his sweet disposition. Technical Course. Football 2, 3. Basket ball 3. 23

Doris Fivsher Jus a.s li ir))ili'ss as she looks Doris is well lilted among her hcvy of friends, and faithliilly exercises her vocal cords on them daily. We ail wonder who this mysterious Ed is? Doris does odd jobs liice the rest of us to keep up with her hobby, clothes. Doris knows when to stop studying as she never exerts herself outside of school but seems to succeed. Favorite expression : Rise, please. General Course. Roland Fisher 'A nd thrice Achilles shouted in a mighty voice, And the foes of Greece were struck dumb with terror Bud is one of the famous Industrials. He helps Hub keep them alive. He is the F. H. S. star cheer leader, and his earnest efforts in that line are appreciated by the class and school. Aside from this he helps Miss Mclntyre set the feeds for the visiting teams at the clubhouse. Bud is strong for music; bu t, in his opinion, dancing is one of the non-essentials of a high school education. Putnam Machine handy man in drafting room. Industrial Course. Cheer leader. 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. She is ambitious later to becoine a nurse; in the meantime she takes dictation, multigraphs, or turns her time to some profitable use. She hopes that height doesn't count. Commercial Course. Class Book Typist. Harold Flynn As idle as a painted ship, upon a painted ocean Harry is one of the bosses of Tar Hill. He has been athleting down there for quite a few years, now. At school he is usually to be observed dreaming away over great things. The news- paper is a great inspiration for Harry, especially the sport page. Women do not antagonize him. Once in a while he studies hard, and then again — His favorite occupation is instructing the kids of Tar Hill how to play football. Technical Course. Chorus. Glee Club. Minnie Fohy To manage men one ought to have A sharp mind in a velvet sheath Minnie is the kind of a girl that studies hard, sometimes. She does like a good time and as a rule gets it when she goes to the week-end parties. She spends a good deal of her time working in Goodnow Pearson's store but she has no intention of becoming a clerk. Her hopes are set on nursing. Noted for all the Saturday evening parties she attends. General Course.

Albert Guenette A iii'l is awful to be bashful? I'll say so, says Albert. Since he has been on (he football team he has had to dodge all the persistent ladies. Unfortunately for the school, il was not until his Senior year that he found out that he was a football iilayer, but then, didn't we watch his stuff? Better late than never. He showed that he could run on the relay team, too, and at the same time carried on in his studies. Famous for his bashful grin. Commercial Course. Football 4. Philip Guenette A man who blushes is never a brute Philip is about the only member of our class, outside of the manager of the team, who attends all the baseball games. He minds his own busi- ness and lets the fair se.x alone. He never tries to bluff in any class — he doesn't have to. Noted for his studious expression. Commercial Course. Frances Guercio Smart and studious is she Frances must have an eye on a gold F by the way she works. She is said to be a perfect example of a model student. It is not a case, however, of all work and no play, for she has her special coterie of friends. She is a valued member of the Red and Gray Board. Noted for her good marks. Commercial Course. Dramatic Club. Chorus. Red ancl Gray Board. Andrew Guertin Still waters run smooth Andy is one of our little boys who knows a great deal. He is very cjuiet and is very seldom spoken to by any of the teachers. He is never seen speaking to any of the girls. Why is it, Andy? Don't they appeal to you? He proved to be quite a ball player. He is noted for his bashfulness. 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. Gussy's good humor vanishes if a certain letter is not awaiting her when she arrives home, having finished her tasks at school. Margaret spends some time on her studies occasionally and lets that suffice. The question of the moment is What is Gussy going to do after graduating? We wonder! College Course. Dramatic Club. Mildred Haggerty Judge not the working of the brain, The heart thou canst not see Milly is a happy-go-lucky girl. We have never seen her sad, not even when marks are disheartening. That's the way to be Milly. She doesn't believe that silence is golden, especially while within the walls of F. H. S. We expect to hear of her in the future as a teacher. Fond of riding in Ford coupes from Lunenburg, taxis from Ashburnham, and a horse and buggy from Shirley. Noted for her bob, and her fondness for presi- dents. Commercial Course. 24
