Bernard McDowell Bitnny, Bunny, lull and handsome, Your smile is worth a prince's ransom liunny is a tall and handsome Romeo with a (lark complexion. He is noted for the size of his freckles and the wonderful sunburn which he so easily acquires. He is very noisy and attends all the F. H. S. social events. Bunny's ability to recite when unprepared has won him high honors and many nicknames. His swimming is also highly praised. General Course. Helen McElroy What care I for lessons When my heart is in the land of dreams? Helen hails from up West and we hear that her daily exercise is chasing cars. She doesn't be- lieve in going outside of her home town for friends. We can always find Helen in Room 26 and we wonder what can be so attractive as to take so much of her time up at recess. It is said that where Frank goes, Helen goes. How about it, Helen? We wonder what we would do if Helen should lose that welcoming smile. Favorite expression: Gee! Commercial Course. Paul McGee As men of inward light are wont To turn their optics in upon't Paul is a mighty (?) member but his brains are in no means in proportion with his size. Paul is the personification of languidness, but perhaps this is necessary as he is a messenger boy. He is a great lover of sports and had he only grown he would be a star in athletics. Makes a hit with Miss S. Noted for his continous smile. Technical Course. Dramatic Club. Glee Club. John McGrath A famous man is Robin Hood The English ballad singer's joy This quotation applies to Johnnie. He was a great favorite of Miss Fitzgibbon in Civics last year. He is noted for his singing and we certainly are glad that he came to F. H. S. last year, for he has rendered several selections at dances and other entertainments, sometimes in spite of obstacles. He is a favorite of the ladies especially teachers. When you see Johnnie, you usually see Dick, Tom, Patsy or Speed. Noted for his drag and his big heart. Yes, John is one of the Musqueteers who journeyed to Northampton. Technical Course. Class Book Committee. President Glee Club. Chorus. Thomas McGrath Altho' small, I am noted for my smile Tom is very little but his voice was heard around the class of Miss Gififord last year. Every morning it would be a great surprise if Tom was not called to the office to see C. T. Tom is the kind that doesn't know how to get angry. He was told by the fortune teller that he was to be a lady's companion. He has been a companion to Margaret for quite a while. Commercial Course. Dorothy McManus Oh, how my childhood days cling to me Dot shows us she eats her three meals daih' and perhaps more. Who knows? Wherever you see Dot you'll probably see H. B. or D. W. She has a very sweet smile which reaps her a harvest of friends. Didn't you miss R. K. H. this last year? Future chauffeurette for Bickford. College Course. Chorus. Dramatic Club. Basket ball.

Rena Mann lunv three (inihilioiis: sludy, s iiily, sliidy Rena hulievcs one should he seen and not heard. Sad as the case is, Rena has never had I he lionor of serving time in Miss Haskins's after- noon class. (Jiiite a record. Her denuireness is her outstanding characteristic. She breaks the monotony of her studies by sawing the 'iolin. Thought versus harmony. ( oniniercial Course Grazilla Manseau Who wept with delight if you gave her a smile Grazilla is one of those girls whom we imagine lived long before our time; shy, modest, but with a wealth of sunshine tucked in the corners of her eyes, and between her lips. Grazilla is a fine typist. No one has been able to describe a P. M. to her, it's too bad because she has missed so much. And the best yet, she has a genuine blush. General Course. Alfred Mattel He is the freeman Whom the truth makes free Alfred has been our hardest problem to tackle. We have tried for four years to convince him that there are better things to do in school than to study, but we haven't succeeded. Being of a serious turn of mind his smiles are rather rare, but then so are Bus Keaton's. However, Alfred does his lessons faithfully and is one of our mem- bers who a ccomplishes a lot. Noted for the indispensable school bag. Commercial Course. Eva Matson I'M'r loyal, ever true To the task she has to do I va is one of those girls who believes in a good time but she also Ijelieves in doing hei- lessons. She is quite a Civics student in the sixth hoin' class we understand. We have heard that Kva has been giving solos in the Girls' (jlee Club (|uite frequently. Winner of Third Prize in Music Essay. Noted for her constancy to Ino. Commercial Course. Glee Club. Martha McCaw Gentle and small, But well beloved by all One of Martha's charms is her demureness and her shyness assumes the guise of courtesy. A pleasing manner carries a person far in business and we look forward to a successful business career for Martha. Commercial Course. Daniel McDermott Yea, verily lads, 'tivas a elose shave Danny is well known to our class for one reason, at least, because as one of the city's leading tonsorial artists he has wielded the comb and scissors through and over the matted locks of numerous sons (also daughters?) of the class of '24. Danny's other trades are pole vaulting, running around the track at Crocker Field and trying to convince Mr. Dooling that he knows Trig. He often converses with the fair sex. Noted for his chest and ambition to beat Hobbs' record with the pole. Don't forget the Essex, Technical Course. Track 4. 32

Francis McMurray All great men Inive not died yet Mac is famous for liis line. As an ardent fan, lie tai es after his illustrious uncle, the Doc. Mac manages to enjoy himself and is never so happy as when he is with the gang. As a student Mac is certainly no slouch and we hope his career at West Point, to which he was fortunate enough to obtain an appointment, is as successful. '24 wishes you luck, Mac. Noted for his laugh, and ability at golf? College Course. Class Book Committee. Chorus. Class Play. Annie Membrino Little, but oh, my! The above quotation certainly applies to Annie. She hails from South Fitchburg, is always on time, and never neglects her lessons — or it may be appearances are sometimes deceiv- ing. Her keen sense of humor carries her through many difficult situations and turns chagrin to laughter. Commercial Course. Martha Mikkanen She looks as clear as mornhig roses Newly luashed with dew Martha's quiet ways mislead. She seems un- asserting but isn't backward. She spends a good deal of her time in studying and certainly gets good marks. She is always to be seen with Celia. Noted for a wonderful complexion and excel- lent taste in the choice of friends. Commercial Course. Chorus. Joseph Miller And he sivept everything before him Joe, our hefty athlete, represents 160 lbs. of W. F. beef. He certainly can play football, as Proviso will ruefully testify. In fact, Joe is one of the greatest line plunging backs F. H. S. has ever produced. Not .satisfied with one branch of sport, Joe tried out for basket ball and baseball. He thinks studying is very important. What would the boys' (ilee Club do without Joe's leading voice? A great favorite of the Doc's. Noted for his football playing, his popularity and good nature, he has certainly brought fame to our already illustrious class, and leaves with the good wishes of each and every member. College Course. Football 3, 4. Vice President Boys' Glee Club. Selma Mindt She's happy in work, She's happy in play Selma is popular among the teachers because of her good marks and among the girls because she is a good sport. She has done her best to bring honor to our class, and certainly can play hockey and basket ball. When not in the library she can be found with Polly. Aspires to be an efficient librarian. Commercial Course. Girls' Athletics. Class Book Committee. Chairman Sick Committee. Track Numerals. Dramatic Club. John Mitchell Deeds not words, make the man John hails from West Fitchburg and always seems to get here on time. John claims that he does not like the girls, but we are wondering. It was rumored that he is going to be a member of the F. H. S. Faculty (Civics teacher). He usually has his lessons, although that first hour Trig, class causes him no end of worry — and us- ually has his lessons. Favorite expression : Gosh! I don't know. Technical Course.
