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

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

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
