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

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.

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
