Gerald Edward Dinneen Serene, I fold my IkuiiIs, initl wait Cierald is our model of innocent youth. He is a very quiet member of the class but can talk when once he gets started. He has lovely brown eyes. Oh, if he would only use them to some purpose. William James Dooley Hark diligently when I speak, for not often do I sf. Bill, our football captain, hails from South Fitchburg but he has made up for that by his wonderful work on the athletic field. He is one of our best athletes and has won letters in football, baseball and track. Bill can offer for your amusement an impersonation in any language. Member of the famous vaudeville team of Dooley and LaPointe. Elizabeth Anne Dormin A maiden fair, with red, red hair! With this advantage, no wonder Betsy is one of the bright lights of '26. Her favorite study, as is well known, is Cicero. She has a terrible fondness for the opposite sex, so much so that she has become cross-eyed from trying to look at all the boys at once. We shall remember her for her beautiful teeth and that grin. Mary Lillian Drake Breezy and jolly is she always Always lively and full of fun. It is very amusing to watch Herb talk to her, for he seems to be so earnest. Lillian took Herb's books home for him when he was hurt in an accident. She also deposits regularly in the F. H. S. Bank. It must be getting quite serious. John Joseph Driscoll An inspirer of noise Johnnie never worries much over his studies. He believes in enjoying the teas in 26. We hear that he refused to join the navy because the pants were too narrow. Noted for his attempts to look like a sheik. 19

William Matthew Daley A college jdkc to cure the dumps We don't know who has the dumps in our class lull Hill will certainly cure you when you're gloomy. Prob- ably that's the way they're raised in Shirley. Hill has been a great help to the band this year, too. Phyllis Leatha Darch 7 o lliose who know thee not, no words can paint And those who know thee, know all words are faint Most of us cannot understand why Dida gets into so much trouble with her teachers for somehow she seems to be so harmless. Outside of school, much of her time is spent with a young man named John and writing reports for the Girls' Debating Club of which she is the secretary. She also likes to dance and no school afTair would be complete without her presence. Paul Weymouth Dempsey Actions speak louder than words Jack Dempsey may not have the physical proportions of his namesake, but he makes up for this deficiency with grit. Whether in the classroom or in the gymnasium, he always does his best in order to improve himself. He is well-known for his small voice. Dorothy Hall Devlin She dances, too, and studies some. But notwithstanding has much fun Dot is Dade's other half. The two of them find them- selves in trouble once in a while, but manage to get out of it without any serious consequences. Dot directs traffic down on the first floor, and brings Michon trade in the afternoons. Josephine Corinne Dilorenzo Good things come in small packages Josephine is so quiet in school we -are hardly aware of her presence. She and Mary appear inseparable. We hardly think Josephine worries much about her studies. 18

Velma Irene Dudley Jay rises in me like a summer's morn liiia is (lisl inguishcd by her curly hair. We expt-cl lo hear great things al)oiit her in the musical world. If you see Velnia, look for Olive and vice versa. We hear V'cliiia is a great friend of Mr. Ross. .She S|)ends a great pari of her time (lri iiig that great i)ig car around this metropolis, I)on'( he so stingy with it. Velnial Myra May Eastman (' ' eyes arc stars of twilight fair Like twilight, too, her dusky hair Although Myra is included in the quiet group of our class, we are not fooled, for we know of outside interests centering about a young man. When not at school she attracts customers to a small store in West Fitchburg. Myra believes in displaying to the full woman's crowning glory. Elizabeth Wilson Eddy Her gravest mood could scarce displace The sunshine of her lovely face Dade with her school-girl complexion has done her bit to beautify our class. The class Mutt in size although not in gray matter, she manages to get by. Her ambition after graduation is to rival Elsie de Wolfe as an interior decorator. Ilmari Bernard Erkkila No profit without work Ilmari is a modest and unassuming boy, excellent in all his studies, especially history and mathematics. He is as good a baker's assistant as a grocery clerk. He has been assistant-business manager of the Class Book. We think a person of his ability ought to join a dancing class and appear more often in society. Anastos Fanos Yes, we have no ba ianas F'anos the financier of the Water Street section was pro- moted this year from bench warmer to regular pigskin catcher. He is known as the big hearted boy with plenty of nickels. Besides a regular position- on the basket ball team he holds a regular position on the Y. M. C. A. steps. M. C. S. must have a soft spot in her heart for him, even if he does think that Balboa discovered the Nashua River. 20
