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

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

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
