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.

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

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
