He was a member of the 1926 National Champion Basket- ball Squad. Ken showed his grit in the 1926 Senior-Junior Relay when he won his heat. Ken is a fellow that we all love and who can fit in any place. Wherever you go, we will always remember you as a fine leader and a good sport. Debating Club, Class Play, Basket-ball, Class Officer. Katherine Mannix McMurray For two years Kay has served as the Vice-President of our class. Besides being a fine debater, she excels in dramatics, and has had the leading part in many plays. At the same time she has maintained high marks in her studies and won her numerals as center on the girls' basket-ball team. Her well-dressed appearance, her pleas- ing voice, and her Irish wit have made her extremely well liked by both faculty and class. Dramatic Club (President), Debating Club, French Club, Class Play, Red and Gray Dance Committee, Basket-ball, Marshal, Class Officer. Helen Mary Barnicle Helen has been the jolliest, sweetest, and peppiest secre- tary ever. We seldom meet Helen when she isn't bubbling over with fun. She is always ready with a compliment or an encouraging word of some kind. She has appeared in various debates and plays. Helen's name has adorned our honor list for four years. Noted for her curly hair, her popularity, and her chattering. Dramatic Club, French Club, Debating Club (Secretary- Treasurer), Class Play, Class Book Committee, Marshal, Class Officer. Leo Thomas Carney Leo took excellent care of our financial affairs for two years and proved himself a capable treasurer. He worked untiringly selling football badges for '27's funds with excellent results. He spent little time on girls as studies and the gang occupied most of his time. Leo's popu- larity is due largely to his wit, keen sense of humor, and fine looks. Dramatic Club, Class Play, Class Officer. 8 Aino Aili Aalto Aino with the irresistible eyes and smile! It is worth climbing three flights of stairs to classrooms to catch sight of her boyish-bobbed head. She is a good athlete, a crack student, and a reliable friend. What would happen if she were separated from her partner-in-crime who is also a marshal on the third floor, it is hard to say. Aino was the first to burst upon our startled sight with a Tom-boy skirt. Write-up Committee, Basket-ball. Marian Ruth Adams A student by all means Marion works every other week at the Normal School office. Her studious bent brings her good marks. She is always on the job ready for whatever may come her way whether it be a shorthand test or a good laugh. Ernest Adler The silent man is worth a world of talkers Ernest is a quiet and bashful lad who spends his spare time practicing basket-ball. Perhaps he wants to be a coach like his father. He succeeded in impressing upon Miss Peabody's mind that he knew some German. Ernest can be found on the second floor near 29 at recess every day with his other half, Gilbert. Armas John Aija la Armas is noted as being the best chauffeur in our class. He can drive almost anything from a Ford to a Hudson and do it skilfully. Turning corners at thirty miles an hour or passing Packards in his flivver are everyday occur- rences. He has spent much time in the office visiting Mr. Woodbury. Armas is a good student, particularly in Latin — when he studies. He and Rudy seem inseparable. Rauha Celia Aijala We should publish our joys and conceal our griefs Rauha, the blond who puts the bobbed heads to shame. No flapper bob for Rauha! She is blessed with a keen sense of humor and an exceedingly happy-go-lucky man- ner. She is one of the few who don't bluff all their teachers. She is a good student and has the power to win friends. Ture Oiva Aittola The study of vain things is laborious idleness Ture is a French shark and for this reason is quite popu- lar with Miss Champagne. Ture strolls to school each day from the vicinity of Green's pond, a distance of three or four miles, more or less. He is rather bashful and girls are mere figures on the landscape to him. A good student. David Muir Allan Dave's the boy for whom the ballot box was stuffed when the French Club elected a treasurer. Not satisfied with this club alone, he joined Miss Stratton's Stock Co., otherwise known as the Dramatic Club. Dave was very popular his Junior year, but his work at the lunch counter may have had much to do with that. We missed the bonus our Senior year. Football, Basket-ball, Class Relay Team, Treasurer of French Club, President of Boys' dee Club, Dramatic Club, Class Play. Rose de Lima Barbara Allen Shy and retiring Rose is one of our musicians ana plays the fiddle in the orchestra. She is one of the few maidens of the class who have retained their crowning glory. We often wonder how Rose manages to arrive at school on time every day as she comes from 'way down South Fitchburg. Rose always has a sunny smile for all. Orchestra, Glee Club. Elizabeth Theresa Anderson For her face is the fairest, That e'er the sun shone on Elizabeth is a resident of that suburb known as West Fitchburg. She does her daily dozen by sprinting for the car. When good looks were passed around, Elizabeth surely got her share. One of our part-timers who helps run the Americanization office. In school, she_is seldom seen without her dearest friend, Helen, or vice versa. Shorthand is her favorite subject. Eh, what? George Marshall Andrew George is the life saver of the class and is employed during the summer at the F. L. bath house at Whalom. At the beginning of this year we noticed that George seemed to like one of the leading ladies at the Universal Theatre who happened to be only a Sophomore, but after awhile we Seniors got him to be more dignified. There is no question in our minds who in future years will take Mr. Chalmers' place in 44 as a teacher of Chemistry. 10 Charles James Apostolos He who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortune of birth The first thing you notice about Constantinos Demetrios Apostolopoulos is his smile and then you notice Charlie. He is the recognized mascot of the football team and looks his best in Bill Berndt's red football hood. Manager of the Relay Team, 1026. Maurice Ernest Belanger There's a good time coming Maurice is one of our part-time classmates. Jumping from school to the Simonds Company every other week is some task and it is doubtful if many of us could keep up his bit in school life as well as he has under the same cir- cumstances. He does not seem to worry over book knowl- edge, preferring to gain bits of wisdom during his week away from school. Be ready to join in some kind of merry- making when Maurice is present because it follows him like a pet dog. Alfred Berndt Brevity is the soul of wit Alfred is brief in his conversations with girls, but w ith boys he talks as much as any girl. He spends much of his time at Turner Hall where he has de veloped into quite an acrobat. As a student, he is as good as the average. He excels in Mathematics. His brilliance in Civics is also remarkable. We imagine, too, he keeps Miss Stratton busy the sixth hour. Roger Goodrich Bigelow Roger comes from Lunenburg. Though not very active in the social events of the class, he is always present when it comes to studying and getting good marks. He surely handles traffic near 24 to perfection. Though seemingly cross at times, he never really gets angry. Well liked by the pupils as well as by the teachers on account of his sincerity and friendliness. Glee Club, Marshal, Band. Jessie Bernice Brewer A soeiul smile, the sympathetic tear Jessie, always cheerful and sympathetic, is everybody's friend. She is as good in her lessons as she is at the piano. Her laugh is spontaneous and catching; one good joke and, whoops, Jessie is airing her giggle again. Whatever she does is always done A No. 1. Willing and dependable. 11 James Owen Brooks With fists and heels With might and main Jimmie has taken a little longer than the rest of us to graduate from F. H. S. He went out for football this year, but Coach Tarpey thought he was too old to become a milk-fed baby. Jimmie's main thought is boxing and he may be found at the Y. M. almost any time indulging in the sport. Some day we expect to hear that he has taken the crown from Tunney. Elsie Lord Brown Indeed she zvas a merry lass Elsie's bright smile and cheery countenance have made her many friends. When she is present, one can be sure of a good time. She has been football and basket-ball teams, week working in the office of Company. Hockey, Basket-ball. loyal supporter of our She spends every other the Cowdrey Machine Helen Maron Brown Congratulations to the girl who made four years in three, and with an honor record, too! Only those in Helen's classes can appreciate her keen sense of humor which creeps out and manifests itself occasionally. Helen is loyal to all school and class activities; dramatics, ath- letics, and musical affairs. Although she has not partici- pated in these activities herself to a great extent, she is always ready to give her word of encouragement. Orchestra, French Club, Dramatic Club, Red and Gray Board. Catherine Irene Burns Breezy and jolly is she always Kay does her daily dozen by sprinting for the West Fitchburg car every A. M. She chases up lost books for Miss Sherwin in the library. She enjoys all sports and is a splendid dancer. Hazelle Frances Burns Nature's gifts are priceless Hazelle is a pretty girl with the nicest cheeks (we imagine they're natural) and sparkling eyes. She has a great interest in West Fitchburg. If you wonder why, ask her from whom she received that lovely umbrella last Christmas. Don't get the impression that she neglects her lessons because of outside distractions, as she never lags too far behind her mates at school. 12 Albert Everett Cairns Look, he is winding up the watch of his wit, By and by it will strike one Albert made his fame by acting on our Assembly Hall stage. We'll always remember him as Mr. Moon. He was one of the worthy corps who dealt sandwiches right and left at recess. Albert's one great hobby was to cut up frogs in Miss Merriam's room. We won't soon forget Albert's good-natured smiling face. Boys' Glee Club, Dramatic Club, French Club, Class Plav. Gertrude Alguire Carpenter A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance This is Cert. She trips about in all her blond glory searching for more worlds to conquer. She has a mis- chievous twinkle in her blue eyes and an ever-ready smile. Good-hearted, generous, and frank, she is admired by everybody. As to her future occupation, we feel sure Gert won't be a Carpenter for long. Orchestra, Basket-ball. Adele Eleanor Catalini As wise as they come Adele is one of our bright part-time students and assists Miss Sherwin. When a Freshman, she won the French prize. Adele is shy at first, but when known is a good sport. She is real womanly now with her hair done up in a most becoming manner. Noted for her fine marks. Grace Charles Good nature and good sense must ever join Grace takes life a bit more seriously than most of us. You never see her dashing madly about the corridors, but rather she moves in complete self-posesssion. She type- wrote with care the perplexing copy handed her by the Class Book editors. Despite her tender years and lack of stature, she is one of the scholastic beacon lights of the class. French Club, Hockey Team, Basket-ball. Esther Wood Chasteney Esther is a quiet, unobtrusive maid, who gains faithful friends as she goes. During our Senior year, we didn't see Esther very much because she was quite ill. Esther has a quiet sense of humor, but which is keen, nevertheless. For example, ask her about that slow waltz with Buzz Cross at the Rollstone Chapel one evening. She has a talent for drawing. (.lee Club, Dramatic Club, French Club. 13 Ruth Chiate As happy as the day is long Ruth is one that can always be depended upon, and her big, dark eyes fairly snap with enthusiasm. We hear rumors that Ruth aspires to be a singer. That or a school- ma'am, which will it be, Ruth? She has never said much about her boy friends, but we don't see why there might not be some. Dorothy Evelyn Clark Better late than never. But, better, never late Sparky is one of the live wires of our class. She always keeps her numerous friends entertained with her wit which never runs dry. Her favorite sports are swimming and skating. She finds time apart from the study of books to devote to a study of the opposite sex. Grace Phyllis Cominelli We don't have to know Grace very long, before we dis- cover that her hobby is Chemistry. Grace talks about her Chemistry teacher and the subject morning, noon, and night. She walks with a peculiar swaying gait. Grace can also debate, only she keeps her ability hidden. Grace is planning to be a school-ma'am. Always happy and C( rdial. Glee Club, Pirate's Daughter, Debating Club. Charles Edward Connors Charlie made a hit with the girls in The Pirate's Daughter, and since then they have showed their affec- tion for him by calling him Percy. He is a good boy and applies himself to his work, especially to his favorite sub- ject, Riology. It is yet to be decided whether or not he believes in Evolution. We expect to see Charlie a great scientist in later life. Glee Club, Pinafore, Pirate's Daughter, Junior- Senior Reception Play. Charles David Cox J union year brought us Dave, he of the sunny locks and smiling urbanity, to settle down and imbibe the required amount of Wentworth and Smith, West, etc. To see Dave plodding his weary way daily from the morasses of Lunen- burg is to appreciate his endeavors. Chemistry claims a great deal of his attention, and the result is indeed grati- fying. A faithful and efficient worker, and a fine fellow withal. 14 Gilbert Weissbach Cox Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you Gil is one of our shorties who seems to manage to make things hum. Always ready to do his share. Some day Gilbert will be a great orator, for he likes to talk. Janet Douglas Cringan Oh! that frown! Whenever anything happens which is not exactly to Janet's liking, out comes that million dollar frown. But generally Janet's presence in a group means the dismissal of care and the entrance of clever wit and hearty laughter, for she is admittedly the smiling advance agent of good humor and gaiety. Her hearty laugh, which has so often echoed through classroom and corridor alike, is absolutely guaranteed to chase away the blues. Elizabeth Murdock Cross Buzz's great talent lies in writing essays and stories, but, alas, she also uses this gift to write notes to some lucky gentlemen. She is one of our leading French stu- dents due to her good fortune in having spent six months in France. We all like Flizabeth and expect great things from her in the literary field. Buzz would accomplish wonders if she applied herself — but Oh, my deah she just can't. Dramatic Club, Glee Club, PVench Club (Vice-Presi- dent), Music Essay (Second prize, '26), (First prize, '27), Senior Class Party Committee. Dorothy Mae Crocker For a light heart lives long Dot is one of the Opposite Twins. She is fond of good times and the dances at dishing seem to have an attraction. Dot formerly hailed from Leominster and it is rumored she still has a case there. Now, Dot, what kind of case? Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Junior Dance. Kathleen Louise Crowley A good heart is worth gold Kathleen is one of our quieter classmates — sweet, seri- ous, and sincere. She is very fond of dogs, and we can imagine she has her hands full with those lively little puppies she has. As to the opposite sex, we haven't heard any rumors as yet. Seriously, though, Kathleen is a mighty good friend to have. Dramatic Club. 15 Minnie Anna Cuddy A simple maid, and proper too Good things come in small packages. Minnie is ex- tremely quiet, but shyness is a charm that suits this petite little miss very becomingly. She is taking the Commercial Course and we expect some day she'll be a very dependable stenographer. John Francis Dailey John is our most brilliant scholar, for he has maintained a special honor record through his four high school years. Unaffected by his numerous honors and achievements, John has our real admiration and friendship. Editor-in-Chief of Red and Gray, Dramatic Club, French Club, Class Play, Councillor, Marshal, Senior- Junior Reception Committee, President of Central Massa- chusetts Interscholastic Press Association, Music Prize Essay (First and Second Prize.) Clarence Washburn Damon It's all in knowing how Clarence belongs to the marshal squad and patrols the third floor with strictness. They also say he is a good student, but it wouldn't be fair to tell you how little he really studies. French seems to be his best subject. Clarence intends to go to college, but we have not learned where. Marshal. Myrtle Sheppard Daulton All nature wears one universal grin Myrtle is one of the jolliest members of our class. She drifts down from West Fitchburg, and reaches school on time every morning (sic). She is never seen without that grin. Glee Club Pirates' Daughter. Kermit Rufus Deggs Kermit is continually trying to vamp some fair maiden, but so far as we know, he has not yet met with success. He has a great sense of humor as is shown by the way he laughs at the jokes he springs. Studies are not one of his worries, but nevertheless, he manages to get fairly good marks. Kermit has become a connoisseur of good litera- ture from working at the Public Library this year. Class Play. 16 Alice Marie Delaney Her hair is auburn Page Alice if you want to meet a real live wire girl with plenty of pep. As a basket-ball and hockey player, she reigns supreme and makes a most encouraging teammate. She may often be seen on Main Street with one of her main- Princes Charming or a crowd of her girl friends. Noted for those flaming locks. Glee Club, Basket-ball, Hockey. Joseph Henry Delaney A man he seemed of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows Joe might be called a living song book, for he can sing, whistle, or hum any tune, no matter how new. Joe has a wonderful leg development from strolling so much on Main Street, a pastime which constitutes his daily exer- cise. He is very fond of dancing which accounts for his light and airy manner. His great optimism enables him to face life's trials with a song on his lips. Arlene Kdna Demmon ; great aims and in small she is thoroughly in earnest Arlene is very conscientious and believes that what is worth doing is worth doing well. She has a sunny smile and a cheerful disposition. Although Arlene is very, very quiet her friends find she is full of fun. She is noted for her curly hair. Bernard Francis Dennihan My heart is true as steel Bunny is always happy and never seems to worry about anything. We can't imagine Bunny excited in a debate for he is so quiet and seldom expresses h is opinions. Although he does not appear interested in any one girl, we notice he has a smile for all. Noted for his waw hair. Florence Marion Devlin Flossie is the wavy haired brunette who is always flying from one place to the other. She has a weakness for those big men from the ire.it )pen Spaces of the West. Flossie may be found after school ushering one of us students down the aisle at Cumings Theatre. She always tries to give us good seats because she knows that we get most of our book reports from the silver screen. 17 Lloyd Manning Dexter Lloyd always seems to be sure that everything will turn out all right if you just give it time. He never worries, therefore he is one of the jolly members of the class. He spent the summer working at the Cadillac garage so he is now quite a mechanic. Just at present he seems to be very interested in a fair maiden of the Class of '26. Lloyd is a general good sport and liked by all. Bernard Leo Doheny Bunny is famous for two things: his nicknames and his green Tom McAn shirts. He and Cutic are the class in- separables. The only time they separate is when Bun's liking for the occidental portion of our city leads him to follow that old bit of advice: Go west, young man, go west. Bunny is very fond of all athletics and this prob- ably accounts for his winning personality. Dramatic Club (Vice-President), Debating Club, Room Councillor, French Club, Class Book Committee, Relay Team, Class Play. Adele Mary Driscoll Adele does not hesitate, although in a quiet way, to express her opinion on all matters. She usually has an armful of books which proves her devotion to study. Adele is a very prominent club woman, being a member of all the school clubs as well as an officer in two of them. We expect to hear in the future that she has been elected President of the Massachusetts Federation of Women's Clubs. Class Book, Class Play, Dramatic Club (Treasurer), Debating Club (President), French Club, Red and I .ray Councillor, Secretary of the Massachusetts Intcrscholastic Press Association. Marguerite Mary Driscoll Wide is the gulf between me and man Can that possibly be true, Marguerite? Marguerite is one of our happy, contented members; full of life and never quiet. She has a little laugh that can be heard wherever she happens to be. This sometimes bothers Mr. Sullivan in Room 26, and Marguerite is quietly sent out of the room. We mustn't forget to mention her never failing blush. Glee Club, Dramatic Club. John Francis Drummond A star shines Johnny was very shy until his Senior year, but all of a sudden he proved to be a great attraction to certain Sophomore girls. Miss Haskins must have liked him too, for she entertained him often in Room 26. Johnny got his football ability by riding around in an orange colored wagon and carrying an allotropic form of water on his back. Football. IS Estelle Lillian Duval Virtue is like a stone: best, plain set Estelle comes from Little Canada and is a shark in French. We have heard rumors that she is quite a popu- lar skater. Estelle is fond of dramatics and has taken part in plays given by the French Club. We expect that some day she will be a buyer for the Goodnow Pearson Company. French Club. Sylvia Anna Edman A loving heart is the truest wisdom Sylvia is one of those Blondes that Gentlemen Prefer. Her large blue eyes would make almost any young fellow lose his heart. Perhaps one has — who knows.-1 She is very musical. Sylvia is very fond of playing basket-ball and she showed us what a good guard she could be on the team for Room 31 last year. Glee Club. Harold James Enright I am not in the roll of common men Cutie is the class Lothario. He is noted for his ever- lasting good humor and his fondness for out of town trips. Reports have it that he has a weak spot in his heart for the East Side of the city. Full of irrepressible fun and mis- chief, Cutie is the life of the party, no matter where he roams. Debating Club. Iria Gladys Kronen And we, so ravish' d with her heav'nly note, Stood entranced, and had no room for thought This describes our feelings when we hear Iria sing for she certainly can hold us spell-bound. Iria also finds great enjoyment in dancing. She is half of the Anja-Iria duo. We surely are proud to have such a talented person as Iria counted among the members of our class and we all hope her future career will be very successful. President of the Glee Club. Kenneth Melbourne Person Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you Kenneth never looks for trouble and even when it comes his way he does not seem to be bothered much. He is very quiet around school. He enjoys dancing and attends almost every school dance. Studies are one of the minor thoughts in his life. Sylvia Elizabeth Fillback -1 blithe heart makes a blooming visage One glance at Sylvia's picture will show you why she is so well-liked by everyone. She is just about the sweetest and most likable girl of our class. It is not unusual at a dance to see a crowd of boys begging Sylvia for dances. Sylvia is quite fair, however, and gives everyone a chance. Glee Club, Dramatic Club. Margaret Geraldine Fitzgerald I might be better if I would, But it's very lonely being good. Margaret, better known as Midgie, is the small dark- haired girl who is always arriving late at school and to her classes. We think the class should give her an alarm clock. Midgie has a tender feeling for blonds so we know that others than gentlemen prefer them. We know that Midgie will be the future Paderewski of the class and we wish her success. Teresa Winifred Fitzgibbon Teresa is small, but every inch is wide-awake and frank. She is a good student; loves ink and pencils, so she associ- ates with them every Saturday at Woolworth's. Teresa has many friends, but her boon friend is Mary. Teresa and her Spanish teacher get along especially well. She likes to be teased about her friends over at Normal, although she pretends she does not. Basket-ball, Hockey. Alice Ruth Fitzpatrick .v more blessed to give than to receive Alice has a lovely disposition and is always ready to help her friends. She started Latin, but our good old friend didn't seem to appeal to her so she dropped it. She earns her pin money by working at Woolworth's. She, Anna, and Alice are constant chums. Glee Club, Pinafore, Pirate's Daughter. Alice Cecelia Flannagan Better be an hour loo early than a minute too late Alice surely lives up to this motto for wherever she goes she is always there far ahead of time. She is a second red- haired Alice, but the two are alike only as regards color of hair. She doesn't seem to have any special interest, not even an interest in her books. She spends most of her time after school at home. 20 Helen Margaret Gaffney A bit of wisdom, the very pink of courtesy, and a sturdy class spirit are all combined into one of the popular mem- bers of our class. Helen's piquant little face, charming grace of manner, and sweet voice have won for her many admirers. While her winning personality has won her social popularity, her attainments in the Commercial Course have greatly contributed to her efficiency as secretary at the Normal School. Write-up Committee. Frederick Grant Gale Shorty is one of the good things expressed daily in a small package from the South Side. He usually helps people get eats at lunch. We've heard rumors that Shorty has a nice voice for singing. He was a member of the football squad Junior year, and played on the basket-ball team. He was a hardy and fearless pirate in The Pirate's Daughter. Football, Glee Club. James Gallo Music, when soft voices speak, vibrates in my memory Jimmy is one of our violinists and he says that some day he is going to rival Fritz Kreisler. If he doesn't get over his bashfulness, we wonder how he will manage to do it. Band. Ralph Waldo Gay Women are a source of trouble Ralph claims that he doesn't like the fair sex, but his actions belie his words. Ralph was Miss Gifford's favorite (?) in 34 last year. If you ever want the news of the day in Fitchburg, page Ralph. He knows for he works at the Sentinel. Ralph has helped the Employed Boys win many of their basket-ball games. Evelyn Anne Gaynord Audacious and fiery was her manner Evelyn's battle cry is West Fitchburg against the World, for she hails from those great open spaces. One has only time to cry: Here she comes! There she goes! We are always wondering what she will do next. Happy-go-lucky as she is, she always has time to sym- pathize with and console one more unfortunate than she. 21 Charles Fhotios Geas Behold one of the ringleaders in our corridor revelries! Charlie's wide-spread popularity can readily be traced to the bits of subtle humor which he continually dispenses to the gang. What class, too, has not served as an outlet for Charlie's brimming pleasantry and fun? He can pretty generally be found wearing off surplus energy pounding at the motor of some rickety Ford which refuses to purr. Grace Alice George A curly head — a happy heart Grace has large dark eyes, lovely black curly hair and a pleasant disposition. She is much interested in every- thing concerning the school or herself. She likes athletics very much and is usually present at the games. All her time is taken up, even Saturdays, which she spends help- ing people to keep their homes supplied with crockery. What was her special interest in Miss Smith's Washing- ton trip this year? Robert Gerry Blushing is virtue's color Bob's countenance betrays him. especially when he speaks to girls. We doubt if he studies very often, but he has managed to keep up with our bright class. Bob has always been very much interested in sports and won a gold football last autumn by playing on our football team. Bob gets good exercise every day from his long walk to school. Football, Baseball. Steven Giacoppe am not in the roll of common men Ste e is one of our tennis finds. Each sunny afternoon he may be seen with his famous white sweater at Crocker Field improving his play. He is a promising candidate for our school tennis team. He is quite a favorite of Miss Haskins and has a membership in her afternoon tea class. Steve is never seen without his white sweater. Julienne Marie Glenny Oh — how she handles that change! Ju believes in keeping her talents to herself and to her dearest friends. She is a great lover of the piano, and with Irene Jena won second prize for the class song. Julienne takes the Commercial Course, and every other week, she graces the bank with her presence. Many a smiling bow and nod she bestows on the pupils buying lunch tickets. We don't realize her worth because she hides it, but it is there, and we firmly believe it will creep out some day. 22 James Dwight Gorrie My smile moves mountains Jimmie's smiling face is welcome everywhere. He is not only bright in his studies, but also shines in playing the piano, in tennis, and in dancing. Chewing paper is one thing he is always doing and seems to enjoy. One of the most popular boys in class. We wish him great suc- cess in the years to come. Tennis, Chairman of Senior Class Party. Dorothy Foster Greene Dot is always jolly whenever and wherever you may see her. Her greatest delight is in dancing, but she also enjoys all outdoor sports. Dot is one of the talented members of our class as she can both draw and sing very well. Much credit should be given to her for some of the sketches which appear in this book. Class Book, Glee Club. Ellen Louise Greene What is matter? Never mind. What is mind? Never matter The above is Ellen's motto — in other words, why worry? Sad to relate, she thinks a study room is a place to laugh and giggle. Kllen's sweet personality makes it a real pleasure to purchase hairpins at her counter at Wool- worth's department store. '27 won't forget th e little girl with the big smile. Dramatic Club. Alice Page Greenwood Alice, jolly herself, has the faculty of making other people laugh also. Talking is one of her favorite pastimes, but she always has something of interest to say. She usually has good lessons without seeming to spend a great deal of time on them. Alice looks forward to being a dietitian. We look for her success for we all know that a good laugh is an aid to digestion. Dramatic Club, French Club, Junior Class Party Committee, Chairman Ticket Committee for Class Play. Harold George Griffin The battle is over when the foe hath fallen Griff was one of our milk-fed huskies last fall and by hard work he landed a substitute end position, lie was also the center on the basket-ball team where he made quite a name lor himself. One can tell that Griff's an- cestors were lumbermen by his lumbering walk. He has been a hard worker and if he wants a thing he generally gets it before he quits. Basket-ball, Football. 23 Elvi Elizabeth Groop Her air, her voice, her looks, and hottest soul, Speak all so movingly in her behalf. We all have to admit that Elvi is a lovely girl and a nice companion for anyone. She is always polite, friendly, and entertaining. No wonder she is always surrounded by admiring throngs. She is fond of the opposite sex. Elvi believes in enjoying life. She is also interested in school athletics, and attends all the games. Paul Richard Guenther Earnestness is the soul of work Paul is one of those Industrial students whom we see rarely. He spends most of his spare time at Turner Hall, where he has made a name for himself as a star basket ball player. In his Freshman year, Paul was the star player in the Home Room league, but unfortunately he never tried for the school team. He is a fine student and his name has been on the scholastic honor rolls. Edgar Whiting Guilford Eggsie is a special friend of Mr. Bouvier. His congenial manner and deep, bass voice have established his reputa- tion in the Boys' Glee Club. His favorite role is that of pirate in musical comedy. Eggsie has two gifts — wit and imagination. Manager of Track, Librarian of Boys' ilee Club, Assist- ant Secretary of Boys' Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Pinafore, Pirate's Daughter. Vieno Violet Haapanen A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market This is what Yieno believes and she is always jolly. With her winning manner, she has gained many friends. Vieno being fond of sports, attends all the school games and does her bit in the cheering. Her favorite pastimes are swimming and skating. Dramatic Club. Florence Martha Haenisch Who says little, has little to answer for Florence is rather quiet in school, but we hear that she has her interests outside. Everywhere Florence goes we are sure to see Tony with her. They are like Damon antl Pythias. 24 Armas Oliver Haimila Courtesy is the inseparable companion of virtue Hike is another member of our class who swears alle- giance to the West. His specialty seems to be baseball, but his friends know that Hike has great ability in other branches of athletics. Hike is always quiet and courteous and makes a favorable impression on all he meets. Margaret Ada Haley Thy smile becomes thee well Dainty, sweet, and unassuming describes Margaret in a nutshell. She always prepares her lessons like a good little girl. She has a dimpling innocence which would easily throw one off his guard for she is not so shy as one might suppose. Her eyes give her away. She occasionally lends grace to Woolworth's novelty counter, (ientlemen prefer blondes. Why not, Margaret? Raymond Albert Hamel There is no art to find the mind's construction in the face Raymond is rather quiet, especially when there are girls around, but we wonder why he is in 28 so much! Raymond says that studying makes him nervous and that's why we don't see his name on the special honor list. He spends his off hours working at Aubuchon's hardware store. Aino Aili Hannula A light heart lives long Aino forms a trio with her sister Sylvia, and Hilja Montonen. Aino is fond of Domestic Science which she intends to study at Framingham Normal next year. It is nice to be a bit dignified and have fun too, isn't it, Aino? Sylvia Helen Hannula Looks are deceiving Sylvie, her sister, and Hilja are almost always to be found together. She is believed to be quiet, but that can't be said of her when she is with her chums. Sylvie has a very pleasing smile which shows the dimple we all love to 25 Ruth Agnes Hansberry Hon' b lithely she rides to the hunting of man This young lady with the raven locks keeps everybody guessing. Those sparkling eyes have wrecked many a youthful heart. Daily she sings the same old song, Isn't he adorable! but each day she means a different person. Things Spanish are her hobby. Every thing from Spanish fans to Spanish cavaliers — if — the cavalier has blond, curly hair. John Scott Hay Courtesy costs nothing John comes in a small edition with a quiet binding. He is on his way to be a big butter and egg man in later life by beginning young as a clerk in Ames' butter store. Jennie Lillian Heath Here's to somebody staunch and true Jennie comes from the wilds of Whalom. Those who were in P. Lect. last year know that Jennie is anything but the quiet girl she appears to be. Jennie, we hear, has a friend in Boston which explains her lack of interest in the courtiers of the class. If you have noticed that any of the faculty have gained weight in the past year, you may blame Jennie for feeding them too much at recess. Mildred Elise Helmrich Mildred is a sine qua non when it comes to tripping the light fantastic. A confirmed Terpsichorean addict. Gifted with an unusually facile pen, she has delighted us with her stories which have graced the page of the Red and Gray on more than one occasion. She is a good student, but is far from bookish; in fact, she impresses one far less with her erudition than with her jovial companionship. Dramatic Club, Girls' Glee Club, Class Play. Pauline Henderson Pauline's quiet, unobtrusive personality has caused her to reserve her rare powers of friendship for her intimate friends only. She possesses a charm which makes her friendship cherished by all her classmates. Her popularity is pronounced, and she has spread sunshine and happiness everywhere. A steady and faithful student throughout her High School Course. Dramatic Club, French Club. 26 John William Henke Hang sorrow! Care will kill a cat, And therefore let's be merry Johnnie is one of the many who have season tickets for the back seats in 26 (P.M.). If any one is ever looking for Johnnie, he can usually be found holding up a corner of the Y. M. C. A. Those of the first hour Biology class know that some day John will occupy the pulpit in room 39 or Physical Lab. Boys' Glee Club. Lucia Heywood She flies with her own wings Lucia is as sensible a girl as one can find in a long summer's day. She always does her work conscientiously and has been of service on many committees. She has done fine work in the Girls' Glee Club, and is one of the Harrnonizers. She is also one of our dancers extra- ordinary, although she is somewhat modest about telling people about this achievement. Glee Club, Dramatic Club. Marguerite Viena Hill A merry heart and a cheerful countenance Marguerite's cheerful disposition and merry smile make her a good friend and companion. Her good marks show that she does not allow outside interests to draw her away from her studies. A part-timer, she spends every other week at the Normal School office. A star in Mr. Jeffery's second hour Senior Bookkeeping class. Dramatic Club. Ernestine Frances Hohberger One week Ernie is a marshal on fourth floor and the next she helps Miss Miner chant her typewriting hymn. We wonder if Ernie really was merely interested in the game of football. Her merry laugh often rings out in the corridor at recess. Ernie worked for Mr. Kresge at Christmas time. Maybe we'd invest more dimes if she worked there always. Dramatic Club. Archie Hollows I am Sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark Archie's time was pretty well occupied between Style's before its demise and school; still, he had time to let us know what the facts of the case are. We soon learn who Archie's favorite teacher is, and the reason why. We pre- dict a brilliant future for him as a window-dresser. I )ance Committee of the Senior Class Party. 27 Thomas Joseph Hughes Noise is not a necessary attribute for success Tom is the High School concert-master. When musical entertainment is called for, he can always be relied upon to provide it with his long bow. Although very sober at times, Tom can be very gay and is fond of a good time. Rollstone Street attracts him very much. Many a would- be Romeo of the school gnashes his teeth with envy at the sight of Tom's curly locks. Boys' Clee Club, Orchestra, Relay Race. Helena Cecelia Hurley We present another West Fitchburgite who is very elusive when it comes to gleaning information from her. We haven't been able to discover whether her co quettish ways are a natural product or are feigned. Her admirable cordiality, industrious ways, and class loyalty amply suffice for her lack of participation in class activities. Helena, by the way, is one of the few girls who don't have to crane their necks to look up at the fellows. Rachael Alice Ikola Come 071 over on the sunny side of life [kie is one of the quadruplets, namely: Nannie, Aino, and Ernestine, We hear Ikie will be a politician some day. She began this year by helping the candidates in the recent city election. Ikie has a terrible time trying to eat her breakfast and hold her seat at the same time on the South Side bus. At any rate, it is well digested by the time she gets to school. Agnes Margaret Innerasky I'm always in a haste, but never in a hurry Agnes is a quiet child until she begins to giggle. Then the motto Silence is Colden, means nothing to this brown-eyed maiden. Nobody has ever heard of Agnes being late. Hurry! is her war cry, and Rush! is her motto. She may be found out of school in Kresge's glass- ware department. When she smiles, we know then that she is the fifth in the four out of five. Lorena Mae Jarman Although a newcomer to the class in our Junior year, Lorena has entered enthusiastically into all the class ac- tivities and has been a great supporter of all sports. Lorena always has something to say on every subject. She says that the school people here are just as nice as those out in Michigan where she came from. Drawing seems to be her favorite pastime and one can usually see her busily sketching a picture. Dramatic Club, French Club, Debating Club. 28 Irene Katherine Jena From her shall be read the perfect ways of honor Irene has never lost her locks under the barber's shears. She is a firm believer in the maxim, A friend in need is a friend indeed, as she has proved by her willingness to help others. Irene may be seen every other week in the typewriting room where she is Miss Miner's assistant. She is one of our best students. Chairman of Committee for Field Day Decorations, Write-up Committee, Marshal. Elizabeth Hubbard Jennings I dare not trust those eyes; They dance in mists, and dazzle with surprise This is certainly true when Elizabeth is up to some mis- chief. She is one of the few who have not yielded to the fashion of bobs, so she still retains her individuality. Studying takes a back seat when Elizabeth wants to go to a dance or to the movies. She is very fond of sports and spends a great deal of time out in the great, wide, open spaces. Dramatic Club. Doris Linnea Johnson When I have anything to do, I go and do it Doris, also, was born with a conscience. She always dues what she sets out to do and nothing can turn her from her task until it is clone. Added to her determination is unlimited patience. With these characteristics, success ought to be certain for Doris. She is not all business, for she joins whole-heartedly in whatever fun is going on. Glee Club. Rudolf Henning Johnson am not of that feather, to shake off My friend when he most needs me We can all bear witness to the firm bond existing between Rudy and Aijala. You may see Rudy appearing later at the Lyric as he has a fine line of jokes and is an accom- plished violinist. Don't get into an argument with him as you are quite likely to be beaten. ( )rchestra. Mary Kaakinen Mary is very quiet in school and says very little in a very soft voice. She is a good student, gets honor marks, and is punctual at all times. Mary is also a true supporter of all school activities and attends all the school athletic contests. Skating is her favorite sport and she does this very well. Mary can always be depended upon to do her bit whenever necessary. French ( lub. 29 Hilda Adele Kaarela Hilda is one of our Senior Yenuses. Among her many accomplishments, her ability as an artist stands forth most prominently, and when she starts to play the banjo — w ords fail us. In the future, we hope Hilda will draw as good a figure in salary as she does of young co-eds in Mr. Butler's class. Red and Gray Art Committee, Dramatic Club, Orchestra, Marshal. Erma Justine Kajander Erma is one of our serious though self-conscious pupils. When we want a frank open statement or advice about anything, we seek out Erma and go away with a feeling of having arrived at a conclusion. There are certain young men whom Erma greatly admires, but they will never know it. She has served efficiently on the Red and Gray Board for two years in the literary department. Red and Gray Literary Committee, French Club. Tarmo Hjalmar Kamppuri To him who is determined, it remains only to act Tarmo is one of the shortest members of our class. But what he lacks in quantity', he makes up in quality. He was Mr. Sullivan's best Algebra student and Miss Peabody has been quoted as having said he was the brightest Eng- lish pupil she ever taught. His comical reading of the Barber and the Owl at the Junior-Senior Reception last year is remembered by all. Eileen Mary Kearns Let lessons slide by What care I! Eileen doesn't believe in spending much time on lessons. She claims studying makes her nervous. Eileen is one of our flappers who insists that the bob will never go out of style. We hear that a certain J. W. from Leominster is making regular Wednesday and Sunday night visits to Fitchbu rg. Alice Mary Keating A light heart lives long If this is true, we predict Alice will hold the world's record for old age. To her, jokes and laughter are the spice of life. All joking aside, Alice is a good student and is always willing to help out on a Latin or French transla- tion. She delights in taking part in the French Club plays. Alice worries little about the opposite sex — Congratula- tions! French Club, Dramatic Club, Vice - President of Debat- ing Club, Class Book Committee. 30 Edward Joseph Kelleher had rather be small and shine, Than be large and cast a shadow Flaming Youth! So named from his red hair. He is mischievous, but good-natured and a staunch friend. When he laughs, his nose, which is plentifully peppered with cute little freckles, crinkles in the most adorable fashion and it is the delight of all those who know him. As to his lessons, it is a case of hit or miss, but Eddie hits usually. James William Kelly I prefer silent prudence to loquacious jolly Fat is a very quiet, unassuming fellow, backward some- times to a fault, but we can overlook all this when we get to know him intimately. Good-natured (as all plump people should be), when he starts a thing, it's generally fully looked after. He is now engaged in the meat business and we hope to see him heading The Meat Trust some day. Sulo Ahti Kempainen Although Sulo was out of school much of his Sophomore year, he is now back again as a Senior. He delights in getting ahead of his lady friends in his typewriting exer- cises. Sulo is one of several boy wonder pianists we have in our class. Which career are you going to choose, Sulo, Paul Whiteman the 2d or Adolf Zukor the 2d? Irja Kerttula Irja is always ready for work or for play. She has played the cello in the school orchestra for four years. In sports, she reigns supreme, as she skates and sw ims exceedingly well. Dancing is also one of her favorite amusements. She is successful in her studies and gets honor marks. Her friendships are many and true. Orchestra. Dorothy Elizabeth King is the tone that makes the music Dorothy surely makes fine music on her beloved violin. She is an earnest member of our famous F. H. S. orchestra. Dot recently joined the dignified ranks of the long-haired maidens of '27. Dot is late for school once in a while, but she isn't to blame for the tardiness of those South Fitch- burg cars. Orchestra. 31 Tauno Emmanuel Kiuru Last fall Tauno played center pivot of our football line in a capable manner. His ability to sing Finnish songs was discovered at the Football Camp. Since then he has been much sought after as a performer. He toots a trumpet in the school band as a side-line. Tauno has a pleasing disposition and a wonderful smile. Glee Club, Band, Orchestra, Football. Morton Atwell Klein, Jr. .Morton is an easy-going person who never seems to worry about anything, but gets there just the same. There aren't many people that can get the good marks Morton does. Many of the weaker sex cast longing glances his way, but wimmin hold no charm for this young man. Dances and athletics seem to be his hobby. We hear that Morton thoroughly enjoyed that Washington trip last year. Red and Cray Board, French Club. Warren Gilpin Knight The secret of success is constancy to purpose Warren is another of our football celebrities, the Senior member of the Knight Triumvirate. He tried hard for three years to make the school team and his letter. His toil gained its reward last Thanksgiving when he secured his letter in the Leominster game. Warren is quiet but cheerful, and breaks out with an occasional smile. Football. Vieno Alina Koho Whal sweet delight a quiet life affords Vieno is one of our perfect blondes. Her maxillary muscles are seldom over-exercised. We all know her as a cheerful and competent little maiden, though she has never taken a prominent part in outside activities of the school. Vieno has lately been captivated by a collegiate from Cashing Academy. She attends many dances in Fitchburg and in the suburbs. Waino Abraham Korhonen He that runs fastest gels most ground Ben is noted for his fine work on the relay team our Junior year. Next to Captain Miller, he was the fastest man on the team. Much of the credit for our fine showing can be attributed to Ben. We counted on him to do equally well this year. He is a member of the Rollstone Athletic Club and holds positions on all their teams. Relay Team, Track. 32 Ililja Kanolina Koutonen A sweet little maid is she Hilja always has her lessons without their seeming to cause her much worry. She is one of our French sharks and we think no Frenchman could fool Hilja. We hear she is quite fond of dancing, too. Noted for her palm- olive complexion. Basket ball. Slamoth Krevoruek Slamoth is one of our part-time students, but her cheer- ful and pleasant manner graces our corridors every day, for she works in the Continuation School office. Slamoth is one of the pleasantest girls in our class. Her chief inter- ests he in her studies, but nevertheless, she is a staunch supporter of our Debating and Dramatic Clubs. She is a trusty and willing worker. Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Glee Club, The Pirate's Daughter. Anja Lydia Kurki To dance and play my spirit cries Anja is very fond of dancing and attends a dance when- ever she gets a chance. Her good marks in her studies show us that she doesn't let this interfere with her school work. Anja is one of the musical girls in our class and plays the cello very well. She was at one time a member of the school orchestra. Her friends are numerous, but her chum is Iria. Victor Emery LaFosse Everything comes if a man will only wait V ic comes from the upper regions of Cleghorn. He comes to school most of the time in many sorts, shapes, and sizes of imported or domestic automobiles. Studies don't bother him and he doesn't bother studies. He's the kind of fellow to have around when you want a decorated car tor a Junior-Senior Relay parade. Band. George James Lanides is worth a thousand pounds a year to have the habit of looking on the bright side of life George is surely blessed with the gift of finding some brightness in everything. He seems to have no special in- terest in school; whether he has outside or not, we do not know. We think George may have a future as a janitor at F. H. S. as he displays great skill in taking care of waste baskets and in polishing blackboards. 33 Toivi Eufrosyyne Lansiaho All things come around to her who waits Toivi does not believe in waiting, but goes and gets it. She spends most of her time in summer at Notown, Leominster's newest suburb. She is an expert swimmer and skater, and takes great delight in the High School games as well. She is also quite a scholar and her name has appeared frequently on the honor roll. Her best friends seem to be Janet and Dot, and with them, she has many good times. Alton Franklin LaPratt All great men are dying and I am feeling ill Alton, wc hear, spends many of his afternoons at P. M. sessions. He is greatly interested in athletics as a whole and particularly basket-ball. Some day he hopes to be a physical director. Beatrice Andrietta Lavery Enjoy life while you may We agree with you, Bee. Beatrice came to us our Junior year and made herself right at home. Bee is full of life and always ready for any fun. Her outside activities take up pretty much of her time. After High School, she is headed for Normal, where we know she will keep her chil- dren amused as well as interested. Glee Club. Joseph Vincent Lawrence Yinnie, signal barker on our guaranteed not to rust iron football team, directed the boys in such a worthy manner that he received honorable mention for an All- Scholastic quarterback. Yinnie is an exceptional student for an athlete and his name is seldom missing from the list of shining lights posted after each marking. That must have been some dictionary he swallowed, eh? President of French Club, Glee Club, Class Book, Foot- ball, Class Relay Team. Nina Irene Leclair Enjoy life while you may Nina is one of our fair maidens from Boutelle Street. She doesn't seem to care much for school socials or ath- letics, but we hear she has some favorite sports outside of school. Noted for her constancy to Kathleen Crowley. Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Glee Club. 34 Constance Marie L'Ecuyer Every gesture, dignity Constance is one of our more dignified marshals. She may be seen any day between each class trudging up to the fourth floor. The opposite sex seems to have no attraction for Constance. She is apt to be rather serious, but her friends find her full of fun. Dramatic Club, French Club, Glee Club, Marshal. Reino Lehikoinen In books there is learning Reino, one of our industrial boys, certainly believes that. When he is not reading a book like Les Miserables or the American Hunter for a book report, he is working at Simonds. Although he has only been with us two years, he has proved to be an A student in Mr. Hunter's history class. Reino is a smart, diligent lad with a genial personality. Rudolf Hugo Leistritz Half our knowledge we must snatch, not take This must be Rudy's opinion because every once in a while when he has snatched a little more knowledge, we find his name on the honor list. Although he hasn't gone out for athletics in school, he is a fine basket-ball player and has proved it by playing basket-ball for the Turner J uniors. Sidney Lester Lesnick pays to be a gentleman No matter what Sidney is doing or where he is, he is always a perfect gentleman. He is always ready to help anyone he can. Though Sidney is studious, nevertheless he shares in a lot of fun. His fine looks make him one of the noticeable members of our class. We have not heard Sidney say what his future plans are. Class Play. Leonard Alexander Levalley Why worry, it will happen anyway Len's trademark is his red Ford truck in which he carries all sorts of baggage — girls included. He also has a large sedan which he drives on more formal occasions. While I. in is a favorite with the girls and a good fellow among the boys, he doesn't take his lessons very seriously. One can't be a man about town and a good student at the same time, can one? 35 Lauri Armas Lindell Merit is sure to rise Lauri is the Paavo Nurmi of our class. He w as a candi- date for the track and relay teams last year and made a strong bid for a position on our relay team. He spends his afternoons in an office downtown and we understand he has high ambitions. Lauri isn't a gold F student, but he certainly deserves one for his effort. Noted for his running ability. Band, Glee Club, Orchestra. Bernadette Juliette Loiselle They who are faithful to themselves find happiness Bernie makes sure that she isn't late for school by riding up from South Fitchburg with her father in his auto. She was one of the Spanish sharks in Mr. Dufour's fifth hour class last year. If we hadn't had Bernadette to depend on to do the homework, many of us would have spent many an afternoon visiting in Room 26. Paul Joseph Loiselle A handsome man is never desolate, Paul, or better known as Pesty, is the sheik whom you see dashing up to the second floor every morning about thirty seconds before the final bell. That Pesty comes all the way from West Fitchburg may explain that. The pupils in Mr. Sullivan's Ancient History class know that some day Paul will be excavating the ruins of ancient Rome or Greece. Football, Baseball. Cora Gertrude Loomer Ever loyal, ever true, To the task she has to do Another flaxen-haired maiden who comes from Shirley. Woe be unto him who casts remarks about her home town when Cora is around, for she is a valiant defender of Shirley. Beware! Cora deceives one. Do not be fooled by that calm, cool exterior and the angelic look behind which she hides. Cora is a good student. She certainly boosts Shirley. Marjorie Palmer Lowe Margie has a very esthetic nature and some day hopes to be a teacher of the dance. She is one of the scamps of our c lass and when she starts giggling, there is no telling when she'll stop. We hope, Margie, that you are not causing B. Bendz to neglect his work at Tech. Class Book, Dramatic Club, Class Play, Operetta, Glee Club (Officer), Junior Prom Committee. 36 Doris Belle Lull The will is the soul of the work Doris is an active member of the Dramatic Club and delights in being property manager. There seems to be quite a bit of talent in Doris' fingers as she is a faithful student in the Drawing Hall. Her innocent mischief and humor make Doris well liked by her classmates. Dramatic Club. Elna Ingeborg Lundberg Shall I go on, or have I said enough Elna is one of the charter members of the Chatterers' Club. An ardent follower of all athletics, she is right on her job at all basket-ball games. As a member of the Camp Fire Girls, she helps Elvi and Mary keep the camp fires burning. She is very good both in athletics and school work, a hard worker and willing. She hopes to take up nursing. Class Book Committee, Committee for Class Colors. Herbert Edwin Lynch dare do all that becomes a man Goldfish is famed far and wide for his open-face dribbling on the basket-ball court. His pleasing ways win him many friends. All the athletic teams with the exception of the baseball team claim him as a member. Football, Basket-ball, Glee Club. Irene Katherine MacDonald Irene is one of '27's full-fledged flappers and to her, young men prove most fascinating though she enjoys variety. She is an enthusiastic member of both the Chorus and Girls' Glee Club, and is gifted with the ability to sing either alto or soprano. In dancing, Irene finds supreme joy. Wasn't that Charleston done to perfection at the musical comedy last year? A loyal supporter of all our functions, especially dances. Glee Club. Elsie Mary Maffeo have loved my friends Who in the class needs an introduction to Elsie with the unshorn tresses? We who patronize the Lyric know that Elsie is the boon companion of Freda and Ellen. Some day we may hear of a circuit of theatres run by these three young ladies. Incidentally, Elsie was an excellent basket- ball player her Freshman year, although we haven't seen her on the floor much since. 37 Heloise Claire Mailloux Quiet she is, forsooth not vain The biggest grudge we have against Heloise is that she dropped Latin this year and didn't help us any more! If we are unable to do something, or are in need of a friendly hand, we can always approach Heloise with the utmost confidence in her sympathy. French Club. Dorothy Anna Malone A cheerful countenance betokens a good heart Dot certainly has a cheerful countenance, if you con- sider that grin of hers. She may usually be seen with twins, sometimes girl twins, sometimes boys. She has a heart ' laugh, which she exercises quite frequently. She spends just as little time as possible on her books, as her mind seems bent on a good time. She certainly will not weep when she graduates. Glee Club. Helen Elizabeth Maloney A quiet tongue shows a wise head Helen is very witty when you get under her cover of reserve. Although Helen seems to care little about study- ing, she generally is able to answer some of the questions which stagger the rest of us. Helen loves to drive that Caddie of hers around town and whizz by the traffic officers on Main Street. Helen and Edith are always to- gether outside of school. Glee Club. Antoinette Marie Mathieu We can live without a brother, but not ■without a friend Tony is small of stature with red cheeks and smiling rougish eyes. She assists Mr. Amiott every other week to manage athletics at Crocker Field. Antoinette is one of Mr. Howard's favorite (?) pupils. When it comes to learning Civics and History, Tony thinks it's time for her to rest and let someone else do it. Rodney Francis May Rodney is decidedly a lady's man, but he rather enjoys standing aloof from the opposite sex. We all know Rodney has a marvelous voice and wonder if some day we shall see him in grand opera. He has the voice, but just now he isn't fat enough. Everyone likes Rodney for he's an all round good fellow. Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Class Play, Junior-Senior Relay, Track. 38 Harriet Lavinia McCaw For she is just the quiet kind Harriet is one of the quiet members of our class. Al- though she lives quite a distance from school, she gets here on time just the same. Harriet is not the talkative kind, but she has a slow-spreading smile for everyone, which speaks for itself. Her ambition is to become a Physical Training teacher. Glee Club. Robert Joseph McHugh Here we have Bob — loyal, brave, and true. Loyal to his school; brave on the football field; true to everything — girls included. Of the latter he has many, and he seems to be one of those gentlemen who prefer blondes. He visits Worcester quite often, but it's only his aunt. Bob has managed to struggle through four years of Latin and in four more years he hopes to be a Holy Cross graduate. Football. Marion Claire McKenna Claire is one of those fortunate girls possessing a charm- ing smile and bewitching eyes. We shall always remember Claire as petite, pretty, and popular. Her ambitions as a teacher are sure to be realized, because of her ability to work, and pleasing personality. Claire is an ardent admirer of Leominster, but we won't hold that against her. Dramatic Club, Pinafore. Alan Crawford McKittrick Alan, faithful to his studies, is one of the bright lights of the class. His good looks have no doubt caused many a feminine heart to flutter, but he doesn't seem interested in the weaker sex. Everything he has done was done to perfection. Alan plans to go to Harvard where we wish him the greatest of success. Dramatic Club, Councillor, Manager of Football, Busi- ness Manager of Class Book. Daniel Hector McLean Danny has upheld the honor of our baseball nine. He, as our leading pitcher, has made a name for himself. Danny is as good a student as he is a twirler. He is often seen parked with Paul and his companions under a street light on Summer Street. Danny is a real athlete and his fine work on the parallel bars in Physical Training is of the highest type. He is a leader in all the affairs in which he takes part. Baseball, Debating Club. 39 Mary Aileen Mellitt A good little girl am I Mary is a dainty miss from the South Side. One of her favorite exclamations is Where is Theresa? There is a boy friend at Normal School who seems to cause her some anxiety. Mary is a good student and expects to enter Normal School in the fall. John Matthew Miller He that rims fastest gains most ground Behold, fellow classmates! Before you is the counte- nance of our gallant relay captain. We counted on him to carry the Black and Gold to victory in June. Our captain hails from the metropolis on the hill called Cleghorn. He has a pleasing personality. Relav Team. Helen Dagmar Moisio Oh eyes, oh eyes of blue! Helen is a rosy-cheeked little cherub with a boyish bob. I wonder if it's the bob that makes her eyes sparkle so. She surely couldn't hide her happiness while she has those tell- tale eyes. Miss Peabody thinks Helen and Aili W. are inseparable. Helen may be found behind a counter at Goodnow's on Saturdays and whenever her engagements allow. Hilja Montonen A blush on the face is better than a blot on the heart Hilja is one of our merry group, who is quite content with her lot. At the mention of South Fitchburg, Hilja for some reason blushes slightly. Every Saturday night, one of our Senior boys can be seen waiting for her outside Goodnow's store. Hilja manages to hold her own in every- thing including studies. Thomas John Morgan Tom's ability to mix pleasure and study is one of his many accomplishments. Frankness, whether in or out of the class room, is his particular characteristic. This, coupled with a true geniality which radiates friendship, accounts in a good measure for his undisputed popularity. His word, oftentimes, is the ultimatum in an argumenta- tive melee on sports. Tom is one of our humorous exem- plifications that success on the baseball diamond is not to be measured by mere stature. 40 James Patrick Mulkeen You nearly always see Jimmie with some kind of tickets in his hand. Will you Seniors ever forget that basket-ball trip to Medford? Jimmie lives down in South Fitchburg so one day in English class he took us for a trip through the jail. We all wondered how Jimmie happened to know so much about it. Jimmie always has a smile on his face and I suppose it is because he is such a successful business man. Football. Harry Osmond Murch The mildest manner with the bravest mind The South Side claims Harry as its product. Harry is a shark in the sciences and intends to take Mr. Chalmers' place when he returns from college. He spends his spare time at Brock's where he is learning the combination trade. Harry is a college prospect and there is no doubt that he will succeed if he maintains the high standard that he has reached in F. H. S. Charles Joseph Murphy Charlie, better known as Red is the fellow with a million dollar smile on his face. Red was hurt in the St. John's game and had to stay in the hospital for three weeks. Hut we don't think he minded staying because nearly all the fellows and girls of F. H. S. were there to see him. Charlie dues not appear to be fond of any special girl in the class, but we do notice that Goodnow's holds some at- traction for him on Saturdays. Football. Mary Regina Murphy A modest manner fits a maid Mary is quiet and shy in school, but it may be because she is over-awed by a stern faculty. Studies do not seem to be her main thought in life. We hear that she has a great many boy friends. Dramatic Club. Lauri Edward Myllykangas The Senior class was very fortunate in having a fellow like Lauri. Lauri was the foremost athlete that F. H. S. has had for many a year. He was president of his Junior class. His pleasing disposition and personality have en- deared him to all who know him. He played in the four major sports and ran with the class relay team. He in- tends to go to Dartmouth. President of Athletic Association, Councillor, Football, Baseball, Basket-ball, Track. 41 Betty Nathan Men, men, men, are her delight Betty nearly left us this year for Howard Seminary, but we are glad she didn't. Betty always has someone on the string. I wonder who the next victim will be? Danny you bad boy, you tore a hole in your new basket-ball stockings. This was overheard at the first basket-ball game. Seriously, though, Betty is very likable and — ■ ahem, a full fledged flapper! Track, Hockey, Class Book Committee. Florence Elizabeth Neal Just a wee bit of humanity, with a great mind Oh! my! the wisdom little people have. Florence is an active member of our musical clubs and has appeared as soloist in several musical productions at school. She expects to go to Boston University next year. Aren't you afraid of being lost in the big city, Florence? Dramatic Club, Glee Club. Marion Bjork Nelson In music, I delight One of the most prominent members of the Girls' Glee Club. She first appeared in the limelight, as a Junior, when she successfully took the part of the leading lady in The Pirate's Daughter. She does not spend all her time on music, however, as she very seldom conies to school with her lessons unprepared. Marion is also inter- ested in sports, especially skiing. Glee Club. Waino Richard Nester Hasten at leisure Waino does not believe in hurrying; like the tortoise, he is slow but sure. Yet he surely is quick when it comes to playing basket-ball. He is a member of the Employed Boys' Basket-ball Team of the Y. M. C. A. We all wonder how Waino happens to get by as he hardly ever studies outside of school. Ethyle Mae Newton For she's a jolly good sport Ethyle has had a perfect attendance record for two years at all F. H. S. games, both in the city and outside. Ethyle's hair is raven in color and she has blue eyes, which are continually radiating joy. Always willing and good-natured. 42 Gladys Irene Newton Gladys doesn't believe in getting excited over anything, even those wild, wild battles in which the Senior girls' basket-ball team engaged on Thursdays last February. Such things as marks are the least of Gladys' troubles. In class a great sweet silence hovers about her daily. Dramatic Club, Basket-ball. William Howard Newton His ways are pleasantness and all his paths are peace Squit, as he is called for short, seems to have fallen for a Dot. He attends almost all the school dances in which he never seemed to be interested before. He gets exercise running back and forth from the Ashby state road to Way Down East. Relay Team. Janet Louise Nielsen Janet entered the Freshman class with good intentions of becoming a scholar, but flapper ways of coyness and flirtation overcame her so that to-day we behold Janet the flapper! She hasn't entirely forgotten her books, but her boy friends hold much more attraction for her. Gay- ness and frivolity are what Janet demands. We all can say that '27 would be minus a lot of spirit, if it were'nt for this blonde miss. Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Glee Club, French Club. Lyyli Niemela Behold, a smile lights up her face One of the sweet little misses of our class who is almost always smiling in a charming way which reveals a very good set of teeth. Lyyli is a great favorite with the teachers because she always has her lessons well prepared. Some day we expect to hear of Lyyli as a secretary to some great business man because of the ability she has shown in the Commercial Course. Dramatic Club. Laimi Ida Nikander Let us be content in work to do the thing we can Laimi occupies a seat in the Fisher Road bus which comes to school every day, but hasn't been christened as yet. Laimi is fond of German and it is too bad she hasn't an extra year to pursue that guttural tongue. She was one of the last to bob her hair, and she'll probably be the last to let it grow out. 43 Julia Anna O'Connor I'm never in a hurry No, you never saw Anna in a hurry. We know the last bell will ring soon when we see Anna rush into Room 26 before school. Anna is one of the hidden aces of our class. She is an excellent piano player and may some day be heard from. She takes life quite seriously, and devotes much time to her studies. Through her persistence, she manages to accomplish anything. Glee Club. Margaret Elizabeth O'Connor A still, small voice Margaret has not made herself known to very many of her fellow students, but those to whom she has, know what a fine character she possesses. She chums with Dorothy and Sylvia. Although Margaret has red hair, she is far from being hot-tempered. Robert is her twin brother. She gets her morning exercise by walking to school from South Fitchburg. Margaret Mary O'Connor Margaret is a loyal Senior in everything, but, in her affections she turns back towards the Junior class from which she picks not only her boy friends, but her dearest chum. Margaret studies hard and obtains good results. We know that Margaret will make an excellent teacher. Upright, steadfast, and good; a true friend, dependable and interesting. Committee for Senior Class Party, Dramatic Club. Robert Thomas O'Connor Appearances are deceitful Robert believes in the old proverb, Silence is Golden. Robert seems to have no particular chum but radiates a general friendliness. No matter what happens, Robert can be depended upon to have his lessons prepared. John Oliva Johnny, the Nolan School idol, hails from Heywood Street. Johnny plays end and besides that, he shoots baskets and plays second base to perfection, to say noth- ing of high jumping and dashes. All his evenings are well taken care of by the rest of his gang. He has been a great help to the marshal system at the lunch counter. Every- body likes Johnny, not alone for his ability but for his pleasing disposition. Basket-ball, Football. Baseball, Track, Councillor. 44 Walma Dagmar OIkkola The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed W alma never says much with her mouth, but she cer- tainly has talkative eyes. Her bluffs in History are works of art. We are not sure what the future holds in store for her, but we are sure she never will be a history teacher. A good sport. John Charles O'Malley He adorned whatever subject he spoke upon, By the most splendid eloquence. We all know John's power in oratory, but we would like to hear from him more in classes. He reserves his oratorical powers for the flock of young ladies near Room 27. Myrtle also is obliged to listen to this famous speaker and debater. Best of luck, Edmund Burke the 2d! Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Class Play. Waino Alfred Orava Chick was on the receiving end of the Mylly-Orava duo on the football team. Can he get 'em? We'll say he can! As the ball was attracted by Chicks' finger tips, so is everyone who comes in contact with him by his good looks and personality. Chick was one of the basket-ball squad this year and although a sub, played well. We have yet to see him when his hair is not combed just so. Basket-ball, Marshal. Josephine Mary Page Her good humor is a fountain never dry Joe certainly is in constant good humor. Her spontane- ous laugh bursts forth at any old time. She is exceedingly dependable and willing to put herself out for another. She is an active member of the Glee Club and has proved her- self an able basket-ball player in previous years. Joe lends grace to Kresgc's hardware department. Glee Club. Arthur William Palo Art was that cement wall on the right side of the line in the Leominster fray. During football season, he gave all he had on Saturdays to the team. Now he has decided to save and deposits a dime in the bank regularly each Thursday. Art was exposed to Chemistry his Junior year without effect. Although he has long been a member of The Women Haters' Club, we notice him glancing toward the girls' side at times. Football. 45 Arne Armas Palonen Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time Arne is rather slow about starting a job, but once you can get him started, it is done in a flash. He works at Cowdrey's every other week. We hear rumors to the effect that Arne has many girl friends outside the class. His bluffing is a work of art. Noted for his good nature and disposition. Eino Oliver Pelkonen Silence is golden, when occasion demands Eino is silent and is seldom heard from except in Room 25. Eino is steady, silent, and slow. He is a great hero worshipper and admires his heroes without envy, but with a keen sense of good feeling. Perhaps his talking in 25 may be accounted for by his hero being there. Hilia Marie Pelto Always light-hearted a id content I [ilia comes from the east side of our city. She picks up extra pennies by spending her Saturdays at Kresge's and every other week at the Continuation School office. She is one of the many who have recently decided that long hair is to be preferred to a bob, so we see her going from class to class with her hair done up. Hilia is a good stu- dent, and a fine classmate. Her success is assured. Mildred Josephine Pender A careful student and indefatigable worker, Jo has accomplished much in the field of scholarship. All branches of girls' athletics have claimed her attention. Then, too, Jo has a rare and catching personality which has, as its fundamental asset, straight-forwardness. Editor-in-Chief of Class Book, Erench Club, Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Committee for Class Flay, Hockey, Basket-ball, Track, Cheer Leader, Marshal, Junior-Senior Reception Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Music Essay (3d.). Grace Irving Perault Grace is sincere and lovable, and everybody likes her. What an irresistible charm she has! Grace is a lover of art and some day we expect to see her name among the headliners of the art world, as she has already established a name for herself among the artists of our class. I larvard seems to hold an attraction for Grace. Class Book Committee, Dramatic Club, Junior Class Party Committee, Junior Prom Committee. 46 Albert Simon Peters Boys will be men Pete is one of the intellectual luminaries of our noble class. His prowess in Latin and French is recognized by everyone and his famous quotations are marvels of wisdom. We hear you visit Lunenburg quite frequently, Pete. How about it? However, Pete is a loyal rooter for '27 and is liked by everyone who knows him. Francis Thomas Phillips The highest degree of earthly happiness is quiet Every class has a fellow who is very quiet and perhaps unobserved but who, when it comes to competition, leaves the rest of the class in a cloud of dust. Phil is of this sort. He says very little, but we all notice that when his teachers want to know something, Phil has the answer. Marshallyne Josephine Pitts Marshallyne impresses all with her dignity of bearing and grace of manner. Her good looks have made many of the boys look twice, but seemingly with no results, for her interest seems to be directed toward Brown. She makes a fine marshal, even though strict. Because of her many sterling qualities, she is popular with all. Chairman Junior Class Party, Class Book Committee, Dramatic Club, Class Play, Marshal. Onni Armas Porkola Along the run of other young men Onni is one of those boys whose favorite hiding place is Room 28. Onni may be singled out amongst other boys for his slow and plodding manner of doing things. He never increases or decreases his gait and trudges along unmindful of the affairs of other men. Paul Gilman Preston Oh, I am stabbed with laughter Paul has just started to step out a b it and is frequently seen at Brooks', but not alone. He hands out dishes and many a sandw ich at our school restaurant. Paul's only participation in athletics has been with the baseball squad, but he is a good rooter at all our other games. Paul has a real school girl's complexion — no wonder he is so popular among them. Debating Club, French Club. 47 Tauno Oscar Puhakka W hen Tauno was a Sophomore, we all thought he was rather shy and bashful; but he must have lost his shyness in Chicago while there with the National Basket-ball Champs. The girls all fall for his wavy hair. Besides being a star in basket-ball, he is one of the best pole- vaulters F. H. S. has ever had. Tauno's afternoons are spent largely at the Finnish printing office where he is learning the trade. Basket-ball. John Toivo Pullinen John finds great enjoyment in study, so it is natural that books and he should be boon companions. John has helped to maintain the high standards of our class by being a special honor student for four years. John, as a member of the Red and Gray board, has worked hard to publish that excellent magazine. He is noted for the wonderful vocabulary which he uses. Red and Gray Board, French Club, Dramatic Club, Junior Class Party Committee. Camilla Pulsifer A rare compound of oddity, frolic, and fun Camilla is one of the tiny members of our class with a great weakness for red-headed football heroes. Camilla cares little about regular school subjects, but she certainly is interested in art. If one is walking down the corridor and hears a funny little laugh drifting out of a classroom, he may be certain that it is Camilla because no matter how dull the day or how busy she is, she never fails to spread sunshine everywhere. Daniel John Quinn Danny as our noble football captain was a wow, both on the offense and the defense and he will be able to look back with pride upon his victory over Leominster. Danny would rather be a sub on the National Champ squad than be mayor of this city of ours and to prove it, he became a regular this year. Dan was also one of the smoothest ball players in the High School. Dartmouth is getting a trump card in Danny. Football, Basket-ball, Baseball, Tennis. Leona Louise Rafuse Business before pleasure Leona is a part-time student and works in the school bank. She can deal out lunch counter tickets and hand back change with remarkable rapidity. Leona is faithful and conscientious in all she does. Noted for her good dis- position. 48 Edith Margaret Rahmberg Sweet, simple, and girlish Edie is another member of our class who comes from the heights of the South Side. We notice that none of the opposite sex at F. H. S. have made much of an impression on her, but the same cannot be said of the Fitchburg lousiness College boys. Helen and Edith are great pals. We know that if Mr. Jeffery ever gets to be President of the U. S., Edith will be his private secretary. Roy Errol Rand Much study is a weariness of the flesh Roy is a part-time Industrial boy, so we see him in- frequently. He doesn't often burn the midnight oil, but studies don't seem to worry him. He can be found while in school in Room 28 with the rest of the part-time boys. Ernest Edwin Remse In silence there is many a good moral If the class vote were taken, Ernest would easily cap- ture the silence prize. The fair ones hold no charm what- ever for him. That's right, Ernest — business before pleasure always. His spare time is earnestly spent at Cowdrey's as he joins us only every other week. May Russell Robinson Maybe has been a devoted and understanding friend to all her companions. She has a rare combination of sense, knowledge, and wit. Her enthusiasm for and loy- alty to F. H. S. activities have been unlimited. She drives the Dodge with the same remarkable ease with which she gains those honor marks every two months. Smith will be lucky to get Maybe. Dramatic Club, French Club, Debating Club, Red and Gray Board, Class Book, Senior Class Play, Basket-ball. James Donald Roche In him alone 'twas natural to please Jimmy is a member of that famous South Fitchburg gang. He spends a good deal of his time in our neighbor- ing city where he has many friends. Jimmy has a faculty for talking, especially in 2.S before school. His specialty is Latin (?). He enjoys all athletics, although he generally participates as a spectator. He enjoys out-of-town games because of the bus rides, (dee Club. 19 Catharine Elizabeth Rogers Catharine believes that haste makes waste; therefore, whatever she does is done well, though it takes her quite awhile. She is interested in music and she is a member of the choir in one of our churches. She is not one of our leading conversationists but is always interested and will- ing when approached. We understand that Catharine is going to Normal School and we wish her success. Glee Club, Pirate's Daughter, French Club. Louis Romano A little philosophy saves much worry Louis is one of our tall, handsome men of the Latin type. He is no sheik though — the girls don't interest him. You're altogether too fuss)', Louis. Some day he hopes to shine as an Electrical Engineer. We'll bet he'll make a good one, too, for he is the stick-to-it kind. Relay Team. Freda Rosenberg Small but bright withal Freda is a girl with a cheerful disposition and a sweet smile; a jolly good sport who can always be depended upon to do her part. When it comes to studies — if we all got the fine marks Freda does, we certainly wouldn't have anything to worry about. She is sure to make her mark in the business world. Dramatic Club. Julius Charles Rosenberg Kosie is usually found after school taking tea with Miss Peabody or in the confines of 26. We wonder how Rosie gets by the traffic officers on Main Street at the rate of speed he is usually traveling. We have concluded that it is his dazzling smile that blinds them all. If it were not for Julius, who would supply the future citizens of Fitch- burg with shoes? Manager of Basket-ball Team, Dramatic Club, Class I 'lay Committee. Eunice Anna Rowton The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed Eunie is that little girl who runs around the building forever chattering and with a smile for everyone. She en- joys life too much to study, so she merely glides along on the knowledge that comes easily to her. It's lots of fun to dance, like the boys, and go to the movies, isn't it, Eunie? French Club, Dramatic Club. 50 Nicholas Belmond Russo Men of few words are the best If there ever was a quiet man, Nicholas is the one. He never speaks unless spoken to and even then speaks very briefly. He helped make the orchestra a success for one year, but this year he does not seem to be so musical. He is always studying while in school for he believes in work before pleasure. Orchestra. Edmund Bernard Ryan Nothing is impossible to industry Eddie is Mr. Brockelman's right-hand man at his up- town market. Eddie may be found on any of his after- noons off with Bob or Charlie at the Y or at Crocker Field if the tennis courts are in shape. He has acquired a con- siderable amount of skill as a skater and in the winter spends much time skating. He has a very sincere disposi- tion that many of us envy. Relav team. Catherine Sacino Courtesy is the inseparable companion of virtue Catherine easily captures the prize for '27's perfect lady. She is always sweet and cordial to everyone and never loud in her conversation. Office work claims her undivided attention when not in school and we know she will be suc- cessful as a business woman. Noted for her pleasing voice and personality. Josephine Mary Sacino A curly-headed maid Jo is one of F. W. Woolworth's noted clerks. We used to see her often with Evelyn Gaynord as long as Evelyn was in school. Noted for her happy-go-lucky way. Irma Violet Saila Irma is the tall blonde that steers our weary feet through the upper corridor. Irma promises to be the center on the girls' Ail-American Basket-ball Team a few years hence, for she has not only played on room and class teams for four years, but she also plays on a girls' team outside of school. We hear that Irma is quite a hiker. At the be- ginning of the year she and three others from our class hiked to Gardner one day. French Club, Marshal, Hockey, Basket-ball, Track. 51 James Arthur St. Arnaud As one of our football squad, Jimmy gave his best. Even though he could not reach the heights of a regular he was always ready to play the game. We have a feeling that Jimmy would have accomplished more in athletics, if he had not received a leg injury in his Junior year. Jimmy offers a prize to the bright and capable Senior who can step up and explain the difference between the Bur- bank potato and the Concord grape. Football. Yvonne St. Peter Id on parlc francais Yvonne is one of our happy carefree girls. Every other week she helps Miss Fuller keep her accounts straight. We hear she is very fond of skating and can be found almost every Sunday afternoon skating at Whalom with B. L. Toivo Wilhelm Savela Toby was one of the subs on our champion basket-ball team. Although he doesn't look like the type that does a great deal of studying, he seems to be brilliant in all his classes. Toby and Charlie are absolutely inseparable. If only we all had a personality like Toby's, what a wonderful class this would be. Although Toby doesn't seem to care for the girls, you should see him at a party. Basket-ball, Baseball, Relav Team. Carl Savolainen His bashful mind hinders his good intent Carl is one of our quietest boy members. He is one of Mr. Hunter's industrial sharks. Girls seem to mean nothing to Carl in school. At present, he is kept busy working on the new city directory. Gertrude Savolainen A smile for each, a friend to all Gertrude has a cheerful disposition and a merry smile which have made her many friends. Although she has been successful in her work during her four years at High School, she still insists that studying is not the greatest thing in life. Greatly interested in all sports, she is a loyal rooter of our football and basket-ball teams. Hockey, Glee Club, Debating Club, Dramatic Club. 52 Evelyn Mae Searles Sober, steadfast, and demure Evelyn is a jolly miss from West Fitchburg who be- lieves in the motto Laugh and grow fat. She appears very quiet in school. Nannie Selin Nannie is one of our most enthusiastic girls. She en- joys all kinds of sports, especially skating. She is a mem- ber of the girls' hockey and basket-ball teams. We like to see Nannie get excited because when she does, she has a pretty way of blushing that is rather fascinating. Nannie, being a part-time student, spends every other week work- ing over at the Normal School offic e. Hockey, Basket-ball, Marshal, Councillor, Class Book Committee, Ring and Pin Committee. Joseph Francis Senuta Beware of him who looks a saint Joe is the fair-haired Apollo of our class. When he dons that pair of plus fours, a snappy sweater, and a soft hat, many a girl looks his way with approval and expectation. Joe goes around with Leo Carney who furnisnes a good contrast. Since Joe doesn't do too much studying, he makes a carefree companion. Relav Team. Fred Richmond Shaw He talked much, but said little Fred has been trying hard this year to grow a misplaced eyebrow and we notice him daily attempting to twirl it. Fred plays the big bass horn in our school band and it is said that he makes a fine clerk at the Imperial Drug Store. Glee Club, Band, Orchestra. John Martin Shea A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men Jack is a smiling member of our class from the South Side. Leo and Jack are inseparable pals. Incidentally we wonder who the girl with the boyish bob was that bor- rowed Jack's cap on the way to the Waltham game. Studying is the least of Jack's troubles, but he always manages to get by. We predict a great future for Jack selling Refined Gas. 53 Margaret Mary Sheehan A modest maid am I Margaret is a very quiet and studious girl and one seldom hears her timid voice in school. Margaret and Isabel have the extreme good fortune of riding to school almost every morning. That helps a lot when one lives on the South Side. Dramatic Club, French Club. Celia Shrair Joy rises in me like a summer morn Celia has a pleasing personality and enters into the spirit of everything. She is a member of the Girls' Glee Club in which she is always willing and ready to do her part. Celia must have something up her sleeve. Else why that ever-present mischievous look? Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Class Play. Ruth Hodgdon Smiley Her name becomes her Ruth is a lively little body who likes to keep things moving. She is a skilled pianist. Iria would be at a loss without Ruth's accompaniment. Ruth is also an active member of the Glee Club. She doesn't show any particu- lar partiality for the opposite sex, but she is jolly and friendly to all. We never saw Ruth when she wasn't in good spirits. Glee Club, Secretary of Orchestra. Grace Josephine Smith Grace's beauty has brought her much fame. Many F. H. S. boys have been entranced by those lovely eyes and that golden hair, but thus far Ray seems to be the lucky man. A game wouldn't seem natural without Grace's presence, as she is a most enthusiastic rooter for the Red and Gray and a staunch admirer of '27. She made a most pleasing clerk at Brooks' Gift Shop. A sweet personality and a pleasant manner. Class Book Committee, Class Play. Leon Irving Stevens Deeds, not words, make the man Steve is one of the best all round men in our class. He is an honor student, a track man, a relay runner, and on one of the Y. M. H. A. athletic teams. Steve left our Latin class this year because he feared pius Aeneas would be too slow for his speed. He is a member of the Nine Minute Club and Miss Haskins' afternoon classes. A real likeable fellow. Track, Tennis. 54 Daniel Frank Sullivan A great man's entreaty is a command Dan's name is not yet linked with another's, but we fee l sure that he has a weak spot in his heart for the oppo- site sex. Dan was a member of our football team and it was his desire for a closer view of the ball that ruined Brockton's hopes. Half way through the Senior year, he elected to drop back into the Junior class, but he is still fond of his older friends. Football. Ernest Edwin Suomala Never idle a moment Ernie's time is divided between the Simonds Saw and Steel Company and Mr. Hunter's classroom. He is a very speedy skater and a mighty good runner, but he hasn't had time to go in for athletics. Ernie is quite a sheik about his clothes, but somehow or another, girls don't attract him at all. Dorothy Cecile Suprenent Fair to look upon and nice to know Dot is easy going and has an exceedingly pleasing per- sonality which has made her many friends. Dot and Jo Page go together like apple pie and cheese. We wonder when Dot will stop bluffing in English. Address all mail in care of Coodnow Pearson Company and it will reach her. Glee Club. Howard Cummings Taft My! but I'm a big man! Howard is a quiet, unassuming boy, who goes about his work with silence and persistence. He is polite to every- body, and never, never, disturbs the teachers. His favorite place is Room 28 where he can be found at any time. He has a way about him which bespeaks solid character and honesty. An earnest student and an upright chap. Joseph Fosdick Tenney When we think of Joe, we think first of his blush. Joe is a very fine student, ranking high in all of his studies. This does not make him forget the pleasures of life, how- ever, as he enjoys sports, especially tennis. We also find him popular at many social events. He is an all round good mixer; which asset assures him success in life. Red and Gray Board, Class Book Committee, Tennis, Relay Team, Councillor, Marshal. 55 Robert Haynes Terrill Born for success Bob is one of the most ambitious boys in the school and is bound to prosper. Personality, perspicacity, and pul- chritude are his principal perquisites. He performed very creditable work as the business manager of the Red and Gray. Red and Gray Board, Red and Gray Dance Com- mittee. Carl Merrill Thrasher, Jr. Doc first impressed us with his slow-breaking smile, followed closely by a disarming blush, both of which, we soon discovered were bewitching to the feminine eye. Equipped with a faculty for generating dry expressions, Doc's company is never slow, as many a West Fitchburg damsel will attest. With an affable disposition, coupled with an easy-going, unperturbed manner in everything he does, Doc apparently believes that nothing is so bad as overstudy. Eino Abram Tofferi Seven feet quiet Tho' not six in height Eino is rather reserved, especially so with girls. He is on a basket-ball team outside of school and does his daily dozen at Notown in the summer. Eino is often seen out- side of 26, but he disappears quickly if any girls come around. Wilho Lauri Wahtola As merry as the day is long Wilho, a small member of our class, is a living proof of the maxim: Good things come in small packages. He is one of those famous Industrial boys who have head- quarters in Room 28. Wilho is of a studious nature and receives good marks now and then. One of Mr. Hunter's history sharks. Paul Francis Walsh Men are deceivers ever, To one girl constant never Sometimes Paul seems bashful, but generally nobody has anything on him, especially when girls are around. Although rather light of weight, he proved a credit to our football team. He also shows up well in his classrooms. He has given some fine answers in his Civics class, and he can tell you how many wives Bluebeard had. Football, Track. 56 Arthur Peter Ward I am a man; I deem nothing human, alien to me Happiness radiates from Arthur wherever he may be. One cannot have the blues in his presence, for he bubbles over with fun and enjoys playing jokes on his classmates. We do not expect Arthur will be a professor of Latin, but we look forward to having Ward's American History and Civics used in the classrooms of the future. Debating Club, Dramatic Club, Class Play. Kalervo Armas Waris Friendships multiply joys Kalervo is one of those taciturn persons, the kind who says little but thinks much. In his Sophomore year, he seemed to have an ambition for football, but he never followed it up. He can be found very often at the Tem- perance Society Building where he is well-known for his ability in dramatic affairs. Harriet Lane Wheeler A merry heart doeth good like a medicine Harriet patronizes Old Ironsides every day. She came back to school in September with a boyish bob which is very becoming. She magnetized Herby G. while she was a Junior. Harriet's feet are very susceptible to jazz music and she is frequently seen at our school dances. Marjorie Edna Wheeler A small hatchet fells a great oak Margie is blue-eyed and petite. She is fond of all kinds of merrymaking, even in that Grave(s) car in which she rides to school. Marjorie carries a bag to school, but maybe it's lunch and not always books. Although very fond of being in a crowd, Margie does not take a great part in the actual noise-making. Richard Irving White To be merry best becomes me Dick is a tall boy with snappy brown eyes and rerl cheeks, lie is one of our Lunenburg friends and desires upon graduating to live at home and become a farmer. The partners, Miller and White, add greatly to the joie de vivre in Room 25. Relay Team. 57 Lloyd Ernest Whitney The laborer is worthy of his reward Lefty is another fine product of the South Side. His skill at pool and checkers is well-known to all who visit the V. He is an all round athlete and especially displayed his prowess in the relay last year. Lloyd has slowly risen to eminence, for it is only in his Senior year that we found his name on the honor roll. Relay Team. Arvo Lemmikki Wiita Welcome to our city As Arvo arrived only this year, we haven't had a chance to learn much about him, but we are certainly glad to be able to count him as one of our family. We hear he drives a flivver and also that he is fond of horseback riding. Barbara Juanita Wilson Barbara is one of the kindest-hearted and best-liked girls of our class, courteous and considerate of the feelings of others. Besides all her outside activities, she has plenty of time for studies, and she has been on the high honor roll for sometime. Perhaps the fact that she is a loyal follower of athletics can be accounted for when we say that David plays on most of the teams. Secretary of Dramatic Club, Secretary of French Club, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of Debating Club, Red and Gray Board, Class Book Committee, Class Play, Councillor. Walter Wilson Speak little, and to the purpose In school, Walter is so very quiet and unassuming that he has not become so well-known as some other members of our class. His intimate friends find him a jolly com- panion. Walter's lessons never seem to worry him, but he manages to draw satisfactory marks. His left hand comes in mighty handy on the baseball nine. Walter also finds great enjoyment in his radio. Baseball. Helen Dorothy Winch She's true and bright, From morn till night Helen is one of that celebrated group of commuters from Lunenburg. She believes that the early bird catches the worm, judging from the time she reaches school every morning. She is a part-timer and we are sure Mr. Amiott could not get along without her services. An excellent student and a good classmate. 58 Aili Wonkka am resolved to stay young till forty Aili is an especially good chum of Eileen Kearns and is very fond of skating. She used to play many pranks at school, but as a Senior, has cjuieted down somewhat. Aili is very full of youth and fun and sometimes is almost bursting with enthusiasm. Orchestra. Frank Leon Wood « any event, silence is the best Woodsie is noted for his ability to keep quiet in school. Once he met a girl on the same side of the street and had to speak to her and he hasn't gotten over it yet. There isn't an athletic team in the school that doesn't reckon Woodsie among its numbers. Football, Baseball, Track. Eva Lily Dagmar Wuori A good friend is better than silver and gold Eva seems to have no particular chum. We don't know how she acts outside, but in school she appears very quiet. We hear she is very fond of dancing. Noted for her large brown eyes. Her favorite expression: Is he good- looking? Aune Wuorisalo A very industrious student is Aune. We all wonder how she manages to prepare her lessons as well as she does for her days are very full. Her afternoons are spent help- ing Mr. Savage run his insurance business and of course a belle like Aune doesn't stay in every night. She is the fortunate possessor of a Ford sedan with which she cer- tainly burns up the roads. Aune is very fond of dancing and swimming. Basketball, Hockey, Track, Glee Club. Janet Etta Young Witty, jolly, and carefree Always happy as can be Janet is a jolly maid and a fine athlete. She never carries many books home, but she gets good marks. She has her outside interests the same as any of us, but she doesn't tell everyone. Janet will always make friends wherever she goes.

Ain't it a grand and glorious feelin' ? 8 Plenty of would-be students this year. We Seniors spent a busy day helping the poor Sophs get their bearings. 9 I received the thrill of my young life to-day when I saw Joe Senuta wearing collegiate knickers and snappy socks. Who said that Joe was a bashful boy? 10 Ah! The four rogues are in again. President, Kenneth Davis; Vice-President, Katherine McMurray ; Secretary, Helen Barnicle; Treasurer, Leo Carney. 11 I'll do some homework to-night about nine — if I feel like it. 13 Heard in Room 35: 14 Now I know why Barbara and Dave aren't so chummy. On Barbs' front porch: Will you love me in December as you do in May, dear? Dave (nonchal- antly)— Whatd'you think I am, a weatherman? 15 Those who appreciate good music should listen to Mr. Bouvier's songbirds on Wednesday and Friday mornings. 16 Assembly of all those who intend -to reach college. Mr. Woodbury did the talking while the would-be collegians listened. 17 A hobo often wears dilapidated clothing. True or false? Line up for the Intelligence test. 20 The Juniors celebrated to-day by having Mr. Woodbury ring a cow-bell in honor of their officers. President, Bernard Mallahy; Vice-President, Mary Cross; Secretary, Lucy Dunn; Treasurer, John Keating. 21 More elections! Dramatic Club officers: President, Katherine McMurray; Vice-President, Bernard Doheny; Secretary, Barbara Wilson; Treasurer, Adele Dris- coll. Mr. Hubbard — In what district of Athens was the race between Ata- lanta and Hippomenes held? Rodney May — Ward Six. 72 22 I learn that Mildred Pender (of course I mean Joe ) has been chosen Class Book editor, with Alan McKittrick as business manager, and Joe Tenney, assistant manager. Now watch our dust! 23 Color day and first Senior Assembly. Mr. Jeffery presided and Mr. Hub- bard, Dr. Brown, and the officers spoke. Budgets were read — I'll have to start saving. Black and gold everywhere — that's the spirit, Seniors! 25 Dean Academy Seconds, 6; Fitchburg, 0. Cheer up, it takes a bad start to end in glory — on Thanksgiving day. 26 Kay and Janet surprised the fishes today by taking a swim at Lake Sun- shine. Lucky bums — I don't mean the fishes. 27 I do hope I'll take a good picture. What'll I wear? Save me one of yours. These remarks and many others heard from the Senior girls, as the taking of Senior pictures begins. 29 Mysterious doings today. Leonard Levalley's tin-lizzie was driven all around town last period with Maybe Robinson hanging on the running-board. By the way, Joe Pender is some chauffeur. 30 Junior's color day and first French Club meeting. Les ofificiers: President, Vincent Lawrence; Vice-Presidente, Elizabeth Cross; Secretaire, Barbara Wilson; Tresorier, David Allan. Snappy combination, what? October 1 A warning to the fair sex: Never go riding with Mr. Dufour unless you want to be arrested for speeding — for particulars see the Chief of Police. Our Spanish teacher is one fast man. 2 Gee! But we swamped them. Fitchburg, 43; Woonsocket, 0. 4 Wonder what the big attraction is for Tommy Hughes and his gang on Payson street? Evidently Tommy likes 'em big. 5 Lorena Jarman blossomed out today with a permanent wave, while Herb. Lynch actually had his hair combed. Who's the woman in the case, Herb? 6 First meeting of the Debating Clubs to-day. Officers were elected and plans for future debates made. 8 Beware of him who looks a saint. It's a sure fact that John Dailey has two charming maids on his string. I'm jealous. 9 Fitchburg, 14; Worcester North, 0. We're getting better every week. 11 Seats on sale for the Waltham game. Quite a few will go in style and many others will bum. 12 Big Fitchburg delegation at the Leominster game to-day. Johnny Oliva had quite an armful coming home. I'm surprised, Johnny. 14 Senior Assembly to-day at which Ken Davis presided. Joe Pender gave us some free advice about our class pictures; Katherine McMurray told of plans being made for the Thanksgiving Dance; Mr. Butler gave an interesting talk on loyalty to the Red and Gray; and last but not least Leo Carney suggested a jail sentence for those who haven't paid their class dues. 16 Waltham, 13; Fitchburg, 0. We lost, but our boys certainly gave them a real battle. 18 Another hero! Minus the traditional raincoat and hose, our one and only Mr. Howard rushed to the aid of a fair damsel living near him, and put out a fire in a tireless cooker. Sh — Ken says it's only a publicity stunt. 19 A one-act play Station YYYY was presented al the Dramatic Club meet- ing under the direction of Grace Perault. May and Leo made a cute pair, didn't they? 73 20 Tests to the right and tests to the left. The popular refrain, Wonder what I'll get. 21 I hear that Lauri Myllykangas and Kenneth Davis are elected president and vice-president respectively of the Athletic Association. 22 A rousing football rally was held to-day in the Assembly Hall. Lauri pre- sided and cleverly introduced the speakers. Coaches Tarpey and Amiott spoke and aroused everyone to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Our football captain, Danny Quinn, gave a thrilling speech which he spent hours in preparing. Ken Davis urged all to show better class spirit, and the rally closed with cheers and songs. 23 The tables are turned. Fitchburg, 22; Lowell, 0. 25 Seems to me that surprise parties are becoming quite the rage. All the fast set are setting out. 26 Miss Stratton — Is this an original composition, Miss Rowton? Eunice — I don't know. I forgot to ask Buzz. 30 Boston English sent up a fighting team. Score 0-0. November 1 Lot of handkerchiefs out to-day. Reason: report cards given out. 3 Hurrah! another mass meeting. Apples and red and gray megaphones were distributed. Captain Quinn spoke, the cheer leaders did their stunts, and if noise means anything — we'll beat Brockton. 5 Rarely there comes a day when we rise at 10 A.M. and spend the day at the movies. When it does come, it's Teachers' Convention Day. 6 Fitchburg, 3; Brockton, 0. It was a wonderful game and a wonderful snake dance. Those Brockton people were good sports, however. 8 A rousing assembly was held this morning to celebrate Saturday's victory. Lauri Myllykangas created much amusement by appearing as our toothless wonder. 9 The Senior and Junior classes enjoyed a regular movie: The Horrors of War in the Assembly Hall. 11 Armistice day exercises were held this morning. John B. Hayes of the War Memorial committee spoke to the school in the interest of the drive. 12 Betty Nathan has her hair cut again. Maybe a certain person didn't like it done up. Right, Betty? 13 We win again. Fitchburg, 53; Boston Commerce, 13. 15 We all passed the arithmetic test to-day. Pardon me — I mean a few did. 16 Dramatic Club meeting to-day. The Big Parade of characters in costume was held. Barbara Wilson, Marjorie Lowe, Mary Griffin, and Louis Shrair gathered in the prizes. 20 Fitchburg, 12; St. John's, 7. It was a rough game. As a result of it, Charlie Murphy is laid up for a while. 22 The girls are so sympathetic — Charlie had many of the fair sex up to see him to-day. Believe me, I'm going up to-morrow. 23 It won't be long now, Leominster! 24 Big assembly. Everyone of any importance spoke. Another rally at night in Shea's Theatre where we sang all the latest hits. 25 O boy, what a game! We surely walloped Leominster. Score 20-0. The spirit between the spectators was great. The Senior Class Party was the best yet. Jimmie Gorrie and his committee under the direction of Miss Champagne and Mr. Hubbard worked hard to make it a great success. 74 26 The school rose promptly at 11 A.M. 29 A rousing assembly to celebrate our victory over the old rival. Danny Quinn seemed quite content to have F. H. S. keep the Nicholson cup for a while. December 2 Christmas meeting of the French Club. The members enjoyed hot chocolate and cakes, and an interesting program was arranged. I hope we'll have refreshments at all future meetings — some brave soul might suggest it to Miss Fuller. 4 A Senior Girls' Cake Sale was held to-day. You should have seen the variety of cakes. Aino Aalto and her committee worked hard, and they surely were successful. 6 Mr. Woodbury was absent from school to-day. Don't tell anyone, but they say he bought the cake that Alice Keating made. 10 We enjoyed an unexpected assembly to-day. Judge Michael J. Murray gave an inspiring talk on the manners of the students of to-day. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best assemblies of the year. 14 Mary Cross was chairman of the Sophomore Dramatic Club meeting which was held to-day. Those Sophs are quite good, I must say. 16 Mr. Wilbur Smith gave a very interesting talk at an assembly to-day on his experiences as Y. M. C. A. Secretary at Cairo, Egypt. Methinks the assemblies are getting better week by week. 17 Joe Delaney (trying to be funny): Where have I seen your face before? Sister Alice: Right where it is now, you poor simp. 20 Red and Gray came out to-day. It's great — we mean it. The joke de- partment is a second College Humor. 22 Have you heard how our absent-minded Mr. Dooling drove his car to the garage and asked to have it cleaned and pressed? 23 Christmas Assembly. Mr. Bouvier took charge of the affair, and Christmas carols were sung by the Glee Clubs and the Chorus. The Greene sisters — Dot and Madeline — gave a duet, and our tenor, Rodney May, sang a Christmas carol. 25 Merry Christmas, everyone! 27 Imagine — a week's vacation. 29 The Red and Gray Dance was held this evening. Kay McMurray and her committee specialize on pretty decorations. Wesley Farwell and his unknown lady won the prize for the spot dance. January 1 Happy New Yea r! Our basket-ball champs put up a thrilling fight against the Brockton quintet. Ken and Johnny were the heroes of the day. 3 Back to the old grind. 4 Some class to Miss Haskins' new outfit. Santa Claus was generous this year. 5 My gosh! We had to wear dark-colored glasses to-day or be blinded by Vinny Lawrence's new socks — some mean colors in 'em. 9 First basket-ball defeat of the season at Medford. Johnny O'Malley told me that Paul Walsh turned out to be a real sheik in that bus on the way home — monkey business, ha? 13 At last — a Senior Assembly. Our dignified (?) vice-president presided. Lauri Myllykangas spoke on his trip across the country last summer. We never knew he could talk so much. Lauri, keep up the good work. 14 The open meeting of the Dramatic and French Clubs was held in the Assembly Hall this evening. Albert Cairns and Barbara Wilson gave a graceful per- formance of the minuet. Unfortunately one of the French plays never got over the foot-lights. 18 That Preston-Carpenter combination in 26 last period looks bad. 75 20 General assembly to-day at which Mr. Jeffery gave a stirring speech on thrift. Bank books are flying around everywhere — we'll soon be rich. Lauri and Ken spoke on the marshal system, and our snappy orchestra played under the direction of Miss Pepin. 24 I heard this one in Civics: M. C. S. — How did all these rich men make their money? Leonard Levalley — Well, Fleischman, for instance, invented a material which raises dough automatically. 26 They say that the skating's great at Coggshall Park, especially at night — ask Marshallyne and Clarence if it isn't. 28 I saw Maybe Robinson hopping around on crutches to-day. She thought she was kicking the basket-ball, but it was the front of the stage. Ouch! February 3 Just five more months to go — and then we'll bid good-bye to F. H. S. forever. Most of the girls are getting weepy already. No signs of tears among the boys, how- ever. 6 Room 22 was a popular place to-day after school. Tryouts for the Senior Class Play Bab were held. Miss Stratton must have been delighted with all those well-known actors and actresses out for a part. Fll bet the 1927 play will be the best yet. 8 At last — Miss Stratton announced the casts for Bab which is to lie pre- sented in Grove Street Hall. 10 Mr. Hubbard, although working hard on the Class Book, found time to direct a very enjoyable musicale given by the Seniors, with the Juniors as guests. Those who lent their talents to make it a success were: John Dailey, James Gorrie, Marion Nelson, Thomas Hughes, Hilda Kaarela, Rodney May, Iria Kronen, and Tauno Kiuru. The Class of '27 certainly owes a debt of gratitude to R. K. H. 14 Valentine's Day seems to come every day at F. H. S. Just look around and notice all the mixed doubles in the corridors. If you want to know how it feels, ask Ruth and Bud. 18 H. F. S. — Try this sentence: 'Take the cow out of the lot? What mood?' John Miller — The cow. 21 The old Assembly Hall looked pretty gay to-night when the Juniors stepped out at their first Class Party. Izzy Lawrence was chairman of the committee. I only hope they'll do as well at the Junior-Senior reception. 24 Vinny Lawrence must have been mixed up in a fight — did you see his black eye? 24 General assembly to-day. We learned about the situation in Mexico from Mr. Stuart Smith of the Parks-Cramer Company who recently visited there. I've changed my mind about spending my next vacation down there. 25 Ye gods! Do my ears deceive me — vacation!!! March 3 I hear that Grace Smith chaperoned a wild tribe of Senior girls around Boston to-day. After vamping the waiters in a restaurant, they went after some chorus men, but soon decided that there's no place like home. 7 Now we know what the well-dressed man will wear. The basket-ball team blossomed out with knickers and all the fixin's. Ken looked as though he had just come out of his perambulator, Danny Quinn looked like an escaped convict, and you should have seen friend Oscar — hot stuff! 8 After leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him, Julius Rosenburg has at last found the lady of his love. And think of it, girls — she's an actress, and he met her on the trip to Connecticut. 76 9 Signs of graduation! Congratulations are due Helen Brown and Sulo Kem- painen for having written the 1927 Class Song. We just know that it will be the best yet. 10 At a general assembly to-day, Sulo Kempainen was announced the winner of the cartoon contest which was conducted by the Red and Gray. Pearl Shuman, school midget, read from one of the books which were given by the Class of '26. 16 The Seniors conducted a Tag Day for the benefit of the 1927 Class Book. Everyone rushed for the tags, even the Juniors! 17 A joint meeting of the Dramatic and French Clubs was held to-day. Miss Barbara McGee gave a very interesting and amusing talk on her experiences in Dramatics. We danced, and a good time was had by all. The March issue of the Red and Gray came out to-day — it's as good as ever. 21 Welcome, sweet springtime (?) Miss Fuller wanted to celebrate so she gave me five sessions. Such is life! 24 At last the long awaited event took place! Gold F pins were given out to twenty-four Seniors. Mayor Lowe, Superintendent Robinson, Professor Machmer of Amherst were the principal speakers. The F's were given out by Miss Katherine Ryan of the Class of '22. Congratulations, honor students! 26 Quite a few of the girls are nursing sore arms to-day. Yesterday in gym Miss Collins ordered Arms up-side-down! 30 A Beethoven program of great interest was presented at a general assembly this morning. Miss Pepin had charge of the event, so of course we enjoyed it. 31 Those Sophomores are lucky. They enjoyed a musicale to-day which was given by our talented Seniors. I wasn't fortunate enough to get in, but they say that it was great. April 1 None of the dignified Seniors lowered themselves to play any April Fool jokes to-day, although the Juniors celebrated in a suitable manner. I remember we were young and foolish once. 5 Big excitement in school to-day. Sully — I mean Mr. Sullivan — appeared with a new suit. Yes, we are collegiate! 11 I overheard Miss Stratton saying that Kermit Deggs should have been named Promptness. I hear that he's Johnny-on-the-spot at class play rehearsals. 14 This year's baseball team looks good. Anyhow, we'll have something to do Saturday afternoons besides window-shopping. 18 Seems strange to me, but all those who are tardy Monday mornings are the usual Sunday night callers. 19 I hear that Papa Lesnick took Maybe home from rehearsal last night. Well, that's what every good father should do — see his daughter safely home. 21 First performance of the best class play yet — Bab. We'll always remember the play as one of (he highlights of '27. 22 I got in free — so I went again. May made a charming Bab, and the rest of the cast covered themselves with glory. It surely was a great play. 25 Both casts of Bab had a supper at the Uplook Tea Room this evening. Everyone talked about different incidents of the play, and some of the best-known scenes were given. By the way, isn't Mr. Howard kind-hearted? 26 Music essay prizes announced. Elizabeth Cross received first prize, and Mary Cross and Lucy Dunn second and third. Congratulations! 27 We heard the class song for the first time to-day. It's wonderful — everyone is humming it. 28 Arbor Day assembly. Mr. Hubbard of the Park Department spoke, and some of our intelligent Seniors warned us not to go picking wild flowers. 77 May 5 Everyone feels sorry that Ken's parents, the Rev. and Mrs. Davis are leav- ing Fitchburg, but the Class of '27 wishes them the greatest happiness in their new home. We can't let Ken go, of course, for at least two months. 9 Miss Smith and her trippers are still talking about the beauties of Washing- ton. I hear that Dot Crocker and Marjorie Lowe were more interested in the beauties of hats than in their surroundings. 13 Friday, the thirteenth, proved to be a lucky day for the F. H. S. Glee Clubs who participated in a concert at Jordan Hall, in Boston. They brought glory on the school, on themselves, as well as on our peppy Mr. Bouvier. 14 I didn't have to wash my breakfast dishes this morning. I went to the Senior May breakfast. I didn't have half enough to eat, though; Mr. Robinson sat at my table. Everyone had a great time. 17 Joe Tenney has been chosen graduation speaker. I do hope that he'll ex- hibit that famous blush of his when he gets up to do his stuff. 19 We enjoyed a very interesting assembly to-day through the kindness of the Red and Gray board. Mrs. Dorothy Canfield Fisher read two of her own stories. She has a remarkable voice and a charming personality and everyone enjoyed listen- ing to her. The final Red and Gray of the year came out to-day — a great finish for a great school paper. 21 Our band went to Boston to-day. The fellows looked snappy in their new uniforms. 22 I wonder what can be the trouble with Leo Carney? He visits Dr. McMurray quite often, but I notice it's always on Sunday evenings, and he doesn't use the office door. Mysterious, isn't it? 24 Another nice new teacher enters the fold. Mr. Philip Tarpey made a decided hit with everyone, especially the girls. 26 Our boys are out practicing for the relay race, and we know that they are going to give the Juniors stiff opposition. 27 Memorial Day Assembly, at which we paid honor to our country's dead. I always carry an extra handkerchief at this assembly. The Music Revue which was to have been held to-night was postponed on account of the death of Miss Pepin's father. 29 A month from to-night — graduation! 31 Now that I've begun, I hate to stop writing. There is so much to say in closing, but the only thing worth saying is that the Class of '27, F. H. S., is the most wide-awake, worth-while, and most wonderful class that has ever been graduated. Right? Yes! 78 79 Back Row — Left to Right: Mgr. McKittrick, Drummond, Berndt, Loiselle, McHugh, Lynch, Zedalis, Don Knight, Kiuru, Coach P. J. Tarpey. Middle Row — Left to Right: Palo, Sullivan, Murphy, St. Arnaud, Capt. Quinn, Orava, Walsh, Griffin, Warren Knight. Front Row — Left to Right: Mulkeen, Gale, Lawrence, Wood, Myllykangas, Oliva, Allan, Gerry. FOOTBALL The season this year was one of the most difficult that the High School has ever had. There were two or three players for every position and they were so equal in ability that no one knew if he was going to start, until about five minutes before the game. Everyone on the squad earned a letter. The letter men are: Centers — Kiuru, '27, and Drummond, '27; Guards — Lynch, '27, Walsh, '27, Palo, '27, Mulkeen, '28, and Loiselle, '27; Tackles— Berndt, '28, W. Knight, '27, Doug. Knight, '28, and McHugh, '27; Ends— Oliva, '27, Orava, '27, Murphy, '27, Sullivan, '28, St. Arnaud, '27, Griffin, '27, and Thrasher, '28; Backs— Quinn, '27, Zedalis, '28, Myllykangas, '27, Gerry, '27, Allan, '27, Don. Knight, '28, Wood, '27, Gale, 27, and Lawrence, '27. The Brockton Game After losing two of the six precious games, Fitchburg High School triumphed over Brockton in a hard fought game in which the scores were few and far between. The only score of the game was a field goal, scored by Fitchburg late in the second period. The game was followed by a snake dance on Main Street. The Leominster Game The winning streak which was broken last year was begun again by the 1926 loot- ball squad's victory over Leominster's veteran team of heavyweights. The old jinx of Fitchburg, i. e., fumbling punts, seems to have been broken by ('.ale. His shoe- string catch of one of the punts was a feature of the game. Fitchburg scored two touchdowns on forward passes, and the other on a beautifully executed off-tackle play in which Zedalis made a 45 yd. run. so The Football Banquet On the evening of December 21, the High School Football squad was honored at a banquet held in the Hotel Raymond. The Nicholson cup was presented to the team and school by Mr. Haldie Nicholson of Leominster, the donor. Many of the speakers were from Leominster and a very friendly spirit was manifested between the two towns. The feature of the evening was a speech by Tuss McLaughry, coach of the famous Brown University football team. As a last surprise the team was presented with gold footballs in recognition of their fine season and record. Football Notes The prediction of a defeat for Fitchburg by a certain Boston sports writer was regarded by the boys as a sure omen of victory. The Leominster game could not have been enjoyed by anybody any more than by the players who took part in last year's defeat. A comparison of the Leominster-St. John's score and the Fitchburg-St. John's score would seem to contradict the result of the cup day tilt. Ask any of the boys if they will ever forget Phil Tarpey's grass drills at N. Dana. The field was wet. That's why a certain Leominster player slipped up. Yes, we didn't have many bananas, but, considering the St. John's game, one would really say that the season was very fruitful. At the end of its football season, the Brockton High School team picked an Anti-Brockton team which was composed of the best players selected from all the teams Brockton had played during the season. Paul Walsh of Fitchburg was chosen as a guard. Walsh is very light, weighing only about 133 pounds, but what he lacks in weight he makes up for in scrappiness. Football F. H. S. 0 F. H. S. 43 F. H.

FLAPPER Atalanta was the flapper daughter of an old gazabo with the moniker Schoeneus who lived in a tank town in Boeotia. When she was of an age to have her own latch key, she hopped over to a crystal-gazer's to find out who her future Romeo would be. Cut out the sheiks, said the ghost-raiser so Atalanta took to the backwoods and practised the back-to-nature stuff. When any Greek lounge-lizard, after giving her the double O, said: How about calling on the City Clerk down at Athens, kid? she replied coyly: All rightie, but if you want to eat my griddle cakes the rest of your life, you will have to beat me in a race. And remember if you fail, you will stretch hemp. A lot of the yokels were goofy enough to try and the public executioner said: Beats all how business is a- pickin' up. But one day a mean guy by the name of Hippomenes horned in and said : Lemme try. Then he yodels to Venus for help and she tosses out three golden apples. When the race begins and Atalanta was breezing by him, he tossed out an apple. She, being the daughter of Eve, stopped to pick it up; then she stepped on the gas and let him take her dust. Another apple with the same result. Finally getting wise, he throws his last one a little further off and she legs after it. By this foul means he was able to beat her to the finish, but by this time she had quite fallen for this smart cake-eater and was planning her trousseau as she crossed the line.

Dufour Arrested for Speeding Our dingy local court room was filled to capacity to-day by a gay throng of students and society matrons, former pupils of M. Dufour, teacher of Pro- vencal and Catalan at our local high school. Among those present were: Miss Oriscoll dressed in blue velvet and brocade; Miss Selin in pink taffeta with gold lace; Miss Nathan in white chiffon bordered with black velvet. M. Dufour was arrested yesterday by Officer Shea for holding up traffic on Academy Street by driving at a rate of less than thirty miles an hour. The defendant, through his lawyer, Robert Terrill, entered a general denial and asked for a change of venue. Judge McKittrick denied the request and ordered the jury impanelled. The first venire was speedily exhausted as Dis- trict Attorney Lynch challenged all who had received a B in the defendant's courses and those from Shirley were challenged by the defence on the prin- ciple of cherchez la femme. The fol- lowing jury was finally selected: Jury Foreman, Handsome Carney. Jurors: C.oldfish Lynch, Chicky Orava, Cutie Knright, Cement Quinn, Buzz Cross, Buttercup Neal, Dynamite Davis, Pesty Loiselle, Maybe Robinson, Dot- ty Greene, Joe Pender, and testimony began. The arresting officer told of catching M. Dufour in flagrante delicto. He was not cross-examined as it was ap- parent from his simple face that he was telling the truth. The prosecution then closed and the defendant took the stand. M. Dufour: I deny the facts in this case in toto. Monday morning, I was proceeding to school in my car Clem- entine in a leisurely fashion as befits one in my position when this boorish officer rushed out from a side street and with loud and raucous cries halted me, much to my humiliation as Clementine does not start easily on a hill, particu- larly when the gas is low. Arriving at school, I examined the engine which was missing, in fact it was entirely gone — Continued on Page 2. SPORTING NEWS V Hour Lat. vs. Ovid The game was called to order at 11.15. On the kick off, Captain Davis ran the ball back six lines only to trip and fall on the birthplace of Medea. May advanced the ball two lines, but was tackled hard by Chiasmus, a thick- set linesman playing for Ovid. Nielsen a light back, was thrown for a loss by Scylla and Charybdis who broke through in spite of clever blocking by Henderson and Kurki. A pass, Bar- nicle to McMurray, was intercepted by the Referee. The note read: I am going to wear pink to-night. What are you wearing, Mac? St. Arnaud was knocked out by a head-on collision with Synchysis. At the end of two minutes he was still unconscious from the blow. He was replaced by the light but speedy McKittrick who sig- nalized his advent into the game by fumbling the patronymic Atlantiades. Carney grabbed the ball, but being un- able to tell whether Baucis was a he or a she, he kicked and the ball was declared out of bounds. Robinson brought the stands to their feet by a twenty-five line run. Time out was called while Jarman sought and ad- justed her head band. At this point while the milk bottles were trotted out between the halves, Cheerleader Keat- ing led the following cheer: Hapax, hapax, hapax legomen Legite, legite, legite praenomen. Shortly after the second half opened, the team went into a huddle while Doheny changed his green shirt. Waterboy Cross rushed onto the field and gave the boys' faces a sponge bath. In the last minute of play the ball was given to the slippery Gorrie who put it over the 30th line just as the bell rang ending the period. All the players showed good drilling in the fund i mentals and each handled his assign- ment cleverly. Too much praise can- not be given the effective work of Rob Continued on Page 2.

All the members had to qualify by reciting the alphabet in French backwards and by paying dues of five lunch tickets. Then the club proceeded to the election of officers. Mr. Vincent Lawrence dis- tributed the ballots. When they were counted, it appeared that he was elected president, receiving 41 votes from a membership of 25. We predict a fine future career for Mr. Lawrence as a politician. Mile. Fuller explained that one of the objects of the club's work this year would be the supplying of trousseaux to French orphans in Cleghorn. The meeting closed with a spirited rendition of Aussi est votre vieux pere. Prof. I. M.

The problem of overstudy in our High School has presented itself for our editorial cogitation. How can we convince our educational leaders that less study and not more is needed at F. H. S.? I will proceed to expound this thesis. That we must protect the health of our teachers who have at best only very frail constitutions is the first outstand- ing fact. If we are to keep them with us longer, their tasks must be lightened. There should be no overburdening tests which have to be corrected much to the wearisomeness of both teacher and pupil. I beg of you — consider the teachers! Then let us consider the pupils' side. They are young and should not be ex- pected to get wrinkles on their fair brows from studying the deeper sub- jects which confront them in High School. They should, rather, lead a butterfly existence that they may keep as long as possible that childlike gaze and that schoolgirl complexion which alas! is now so rapidly fading away under our high pressure education. Another point is that much more time must be given to that mighty subject athletics. Surely this has not had its proper place in the high school curriculum. I have heard many com- plain because the games are played on Saturday! Imagine it — on Saturday — when everyone knows that that is the one day the pupils choose on which to recuperate from the weekly grind. How much more sensible it would be for us to have the games on school days when all the pupils could be present and could be taught the ethics of the gajne. This ought to be considered seriously by our faculty. If there were less study, how much more economical it would be for the city. Think of the years and years during which the same books could be used, if books would be at all necessary in the new state of affairs. And lastly, but of course not least, come the pleas of the parents. How they would rejoice if they did not have to keep in their Percy to do his study- ing and imagine the amount of time Percy would have to spend doing all the household chores such as taking care of the children and cooking. I have done my best to show you the real need of less study in F. II. S. and I make my last plea to the intelli- gent readers of this paper to bring about this Elysian state of affairs. Continued from Page 1. Crime Wave Hits High School. Interruption by Attorney Terrill: To what do you attribute the running of your car then? Ans. — It was running on its reputa- tion. Dr. May was then sworn to give the medical testimony. He testified and could not be shaken in his testimony that the alleged death car was suffering from poliomyelitis, pernicious anaemia, and halitosis. This closed the testimony for the de- fense and Prosecutor Lynch then rose and said: The state offers no testi- mony, but will submit the case on the testimony of the defendant. Judge McKittrick then charged the jury pointing out that the court was in possession of the corpus delicti and that it was settled in the case of Greene vs. Newton: Mass. IV. 189, that possession of a Ford is prima facie evidence of ill-will towards one's neighbors. The jury then retired and from the noise issuing from the jury room it was clear that some convincing arguments were being put forth. When the jury returned it was seen that Handsome Carney was sporting a black eye and the rumor spread that he was for ac- quittal and had only been won over to the unanimous opinion by forceful per- suasion. The jury found the defendant guilty. The judge then sentenced the accused to sell his Ford to Rosenberg and Dexter, junk dealers, and to buy a real automobile. Weather Fair but stormy.

S. started the twenty-five of us on to Washington — the city of the wide open spaces. It's a shame that red was picked for the color of our tags for green would have been ever so much more appropriate for us. Aboard the Concord on Long Island Sound with three of us in a cabin where it was impossible to stretch without opening the window. Nevertheless, we slept soundly with the exception of one generous person who insisted on feeding the fishes. We certainly had a dandy dinner on the train. It struck the right spot with a bang. Hotel Hamilton, Washington, D. C. Boo hoo! our parking time is limited to four days. However, the elevator boys were pretty good chauffeurs, eh, Helen? Too bad they had to travel vertically, though! We are now in the Rotunda of the Capitol. Follow the guide with the white whiskers. So, obeying orders as usual, we listened to the following line: Ladies up front, ladies up front, closer, closer, listen now, listen my friends, listen, now look up at the dome, listen now, listen. Tilting our chins toward the dome we realized that Brumidi must have been a human fly to paint way up there. Lincoln Memorial with the famous Lincoln statue is a most impressive place. The site adds much to the Memorial itself. A natural mirror lies between this and the monument erected to our first President. The pool and these two memorials furnish both natural and architectural beauty. Dot, did you know that there are nine hundred steps going up Washington Monument and, strange to say, there's the same number coming down? Why, girls, giggling in a library and this is the Library of Congress at that. But what's one going to do when the time for giggling comes along? There were many special features in this year's trip. Riding in the Senator's underground car was one of them. Speedy? It's a regular roller coaster. Some day we're going to be Senators and with upturned noses we'll ride right by you Repre- sentatives. Beware! After four days' delightful careening in and about Washington, we just had to leave for fear of having either our heads or suitcases explode with the knowledge amassed. Besides, we wouldn't care to have all the photographers in Washington crowding for our group picture. We're not that type, are we, Marjorie? New York was so fascinated with our party that it wouldn't let go of everyone. However, the captain led the remaining thirteen back to the place where we hopped off only a week ago. M.

It was designed for the sake of safety. The man who fails to keep it is not a man of his word and, therefore, must stand aside when reported. You will see this Pledge nailed on the inside of every YELLOW CAB you ride in. Read it. See what each driver has pledged himself to do, and take notice by his actions whether he regards it as his word of honor or merely advertising bunk. FIVE can ride for the price of ONE.
