[5] Tq ames J nderson Ghalmers in honor of his promotion to the Principalship of the Fitchhurg High School and with best wishes for success in its administration we, the Class of 1929, cordially dedicate this hook [61 class '29 book Keith Wilson Atkinson Be still, fluttering heart! A man among thousands is our beloved President, Gabby. Whether he is gaining fame as a running guard at football or basket-ball, or giving ad 'ice on How to Study to his classmates, one always finds with him an irresistible smile and a spontaneous agreement to any- thing. We are impressed by a character that abounds in loyalty, a knowledge that inspires respect, and a person- ality that spells force. Debating Club (3), Football (3-4), Baseball (3-4), School Council (3-4), Relay Team (3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4), School Marshal, Class Play. Gertrude Helen Nivell I fill this cup to one made up of loveliness alone. In Gert's Junior year, she was elected vice-president of our class and has since performed her duties with over- whelming success. Her blue eyes and smiling lips are probably the reason for the flock of boys forever hover- ing about her. Altho constant at her work, she never misses a school hop or other activity. Aside from her school work she keeps the keys of the typewriter clicking in Mr. Amiott's office. C}ertie is, an active member of both the Dramatic and the Debating Clubs. During her Junior year, she won the laurel crown at the prize speaking contest. Someday we hope to hear of Gert as a capable secretary of some big man, or perhaps see her behind the shining footlights. Glee Club (1), Hockey (1), Dramatic Club, Debating Club, Class Play, Marshal, Prize Speaking Contest, Coun- cillor. George Toivo Siipola By the work one knows the workman. George is one of our best all-round men. At first he played football himself, then decided to manage the busi- ness end, which he did wonderfully well. He plays a clean game of basket-ball, too. He has been our class treasurer for two years. George is a hard working student also. What more could you ask for in a man? All agree that George is a diamond of the first water. Dramatic Club (1-4), School Council (2-3), Golden Days (1), Marshal, Class Play, Relay Team (3), Football Manager (4), Business Manager of Class Book. Theresa Dorothy Ouinn A happy little lass, youthful and gay. Terry has served us admirably for the past two years as the secretary of our class. Terry and her group of fol- lowers arc seen at all our athletic games and school events. She can always he depended upon to make a success of everything she undertakes Terry has faithfully stood on the firing line at the football games and led the cheering. A fine athlete, a true friend, a good sport, and a loyal classmate. Noted for her giggling laugh.

[8] class '29 book Arvo Iver Aalto His mind is his kingdom. Arvo is one of the best students in school and has been on the Special Honor Roll with four A's and a B. He was on the Junior Relay Team and ran against Bowes last year. Altho he has a Gray with a short circuit in the light system, he prefers to walk to school, as it is only about a mile and a half. Maybe he walks because he wants to be sure to arrive on time. He is going to Renn- salaer. One queer point about Arvo is that he simply doesn't give a hoot for the girls at school. He is quiet and seems to mind his own business. Relay Team (3). Hazel Francella Adams My favorite study is boys. Hazel spends much time on the above-mentioned study. We wonder who the next victim will be? She is well liked among her bevy of friends, and faithfully exercises her vocal cords on them daily. Hazel has the voice of a dramatic soprano and the build to go with it, so some day she may grace the stage of the Metropolitan, if she doesn't grow thin. Glee Club (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Debating Club (3-4), French Club (4). Mary Lucy Ahern Laugh and grow fat. Mary enjoys basket-ball and football games altho she doesn't enjoy gym half so much. As she loves good things to eat, Jackson's is her goal after an exciting bas- ket-ball game. Ever see Mary's little lamb, Anna? Dramatic Club, Glee Club. Eero August Aijala Education makes the man. Altho Eero lives a long distance from the city, he manages to do a great deal of work at home and get to school each morning bright and early. He did not find his sophomore year, spent at Lunenburg High, especially interesting. Eero volunteers little in class, but no one has yet ever witnessed a time when he was unprepared. He will certainly have the strength and nerve to make a good tooth-puller, as we hear he is planning to study den- tistry at Tufts. Helmi Aijala A sunbeam in a winter's day. Helmi is a dancing-eyed blonde. Altho she does study somewhat, we fear Blondie prefers dancing. Helmi and Ruth can always be depended u[)on to make things lively wherever they are. 'J he opposite sex doesn't .seem to attract Helmi in school, but we hear she is very inter- ested in Worcester at present. Blondie is going to serve an apprenticeship next year in a dentist's office. 19] class '29 book Aina Mary Autio She is often seen but seldom heard. Aina might easily become a speed writer for the Royal or Remington companies. At present, however, she is trying to help Miss Miner teach the pupils the art of typ- ing without looking at their fingers. With Aina's help, we are sure the students will master it. Aina lives on Electric Avenue and walks to school, so that must be the reason for her rosy cheeks, but we still want to know where she gets her curly hair. Aina also takes many a walk down Massachusetts Avenue on Sundays. Helen Autio Books should to one of these four ends conduce For wisdom, piety, delight, or use. Helen comes from Westminster. Altho she isn't as noisy as the rest of us, she enjoys a good time as much as anyone. Books are her chief companions. Ella Marie Baier Good nature and good sense are usually companions. If we all could get the fine marks Ella does, wouldn't it be a grand and glorious feeling? But Ella surely deserves them. She is never idle. She is always looking for a new word to add to her vocabulary. Ella is here one week, and at the Normal School the next working for Miss Good- fellow. Ella takes great pleasure in going to football games and didn't miss but one or two during the season. Marjorie Beatrice Barker She was ever fair and never proud. Had tongue at will; yet was never loud. Margy was one of our star athletes; an expert in basket- ball and an ace in running. She won many laurels in the mile run around Crocker Field. Aside from being a good athlete, her loyal support of other school activnties was unsurpassable. Marjorie was a good marshal with a gen- ial spirit and a delightful personality. She is noted for her pcTtver of self-control. Basket-ball (1), Volley-ball (1), Track (3), Marshal, Write-up Committee, Chairman of Class Play Committee. John Francis Barnicle Take life too seriously, and what is it worth? A happy-go-lucky, jovial sort of fellow is Barney. He was left to us by last year's class, and has given us many laughs through his witty remarks. Barney believes that life is too short to be taken seriously, therefore, we find him always fooling. Barney's one weakness is girls. When we went to the Lyric, we used to hear Barney's low melodious voice ring out, Rise, please. IIOJ class '29 book Marjorie Louise Barnicle Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, an excellent quality in women. Marge may be found chatting happily into the long- distance telephone, reading several daily letters, or lost in day dreams inspired by the wails of a phonograph. Marge's excellent style and grace of manner make her one of the most popular and best liked students of our class. The annual Washington trip holds a great interest for Marge, as she was told a whole day is spent at Annapo- lis. Walter Anthony Barnicle Know all men by their presence. Behold the adventurer! Yes, Barney is quite a travel- ler, for he comes to us daily from West Fitchburg. His pleasant disposition and frank manner, coupled with a deep-seated sense of humor and a love for friendly argu- ment, have made many friends for him. He came into prominence in the fall of his Junior year when the call for football candidates was issued. His gridiron aspirations were short-lived, however, owing to the necessity of be- coming a capable director of theatre seating. Football (2-3), Glee Club (4), Relay Team (3). Francis John Baron Ambition has no rest. He is familiarly known under the name of Barney. He is a former newsboy, one of those youngsters whom we see on the street corner yelling, Paper, Sentinel Extra. He started in by selling Sentinels on the street corner, but now he is working, after school, for the circulation depart- ment of the Worcester Telegram. He plans to follow the newspaper business. Due to working after school, he did not have very much time for outside activities, such as clubs. Because he did not take part in school activities, he is not very well known by his classmates. However, he is very popular with the boys who work under him, and he is popular with those that know him personally. Dorothy Eleanor Bates Talent is that which is in one's power. Dorothy is one of the most popular senior girls. She is very pretty and a talented actress and pianist. She has generously contributed her musical ability to many of our musical programs. Owing to Dorothy's excellent his- trionic ability and romantic character, she played the part of Melisande in the class play. When Dorothy gets excited her sweet high-pitched voice sounds like water trickling on crystal. Marshal, Open Meeting (2), Junior-Senior Reception (3), Class Book Committee, Senior Musicale, School Coun- cil, Senior Prize Winning Play, French Club (4), Secretary of Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Class Play. Milton Bauman Thou art long and lean and lank. Milton is a rising member in the bread industry. He delights in exercising his vocal cords and can be heard from early morning till late at night pouring forth both classical and popular tunes. Altho tennis is his favorite sport, his hobby is driving his bakery truck around town. This gives him his greatest pleasure. Relay Team (3), Stage Manager Class Play. nil class 29 book John James Bebick Facts are stubborn things. John comes to us from the vicinity of Water Street. He believes the quotation above is absolutely true. John is interested in all sports, especially skating. According to his own accounts, he shines on the skating rink — but, we wonder, for he had a sly grin on his face when he told us this. Glee Club (3-4). Laura Louise Benere Her eyes are topaz set in snow. Louise is one of our best students. She has a very merry twinkle in her eye. Louise is one of our violin players and has labored faithfully in the orchestra. She is much interested in the Girl Scouts and the Rainbow Girls. She is one of Miss Gruener's favorite pupils in Room 39. Hockey (l-2-3-4 Glee Club (1-2-3-4), Orchestra (1-2-3-4). Joseph Prescott Bigelow All great men come from the country Joe is one of our ambitious classmates who ride to school every morning from the rusticities of Lunenburg. His new Ford is the envy of many of his classmates. Joe is fast becoming the jester of Mr. Dooling's si, th hour class because of his store of questions. We understand Joe is going to be an airplane mechanic. Urho Veikko Bishop His enemies shall lick the dust! We feel that I rho will probably become a chauffeur for someone later on in life, for he is already quite e.xperienced as he has taken his sister here and there all summer in his Ford. Repairing this car stands in a fair way to becom- ing a life business. Alas, he, too, was one of those cast out into th e world when the industrial course died. Gertrude Evelyn Blake To all her smile extends. Gert has a smile in store for everyone. She does not believe in worrying or studying too much and is never seen with a cloudy face. She is always the center of at- traction in a crowd, for her gay, talkative manner draws all to her. Gert's artistic talent has made considerable impression on us. Her drawings in the Red and Gray as well as her work in the Class Book have received deserved praise. Her greatest sorrow was the graduation of a mem- ber of 1928. [12] class '29 book William James Blake Bashfulness is an ornament to youth. One of Buster's assets is his lovely school-girl complex- ion, especially when he blushes. He is a very good ath- lete in baseball and track. He proved a good runner when he took part in the Junior-Senior relay race. His favorite hangout is O'Connor's Drug Store. Altho not overfond of studies, he manages to get there just the same. He is noted for his sunny disposition. Relay Team. Mary Rose Blaquiere Silence is more eloquent than words. Mary enjoys the distinction of membership in the social elite of the West End. Small wonder then that she likes minstrel shows and playing whist. That studying is Mary's forte has been shown by the fact that she most successfully emerged from four laborious years of Latin- She also won first prize her Sophomore year for an essay on Fire Prevention. At the B. F. Brown, Mary proved her dramatic ability in Patchwork Quilt. Mary is one of those singular beings who firmly believes that whispering is a sin. However, she is usually smiling, chiefly because of happiness, but it is also rumored because of pride in her pretty dimples. Mary plans to take up nursing. French Club (4), Dramatic Club (4). George Ernest Bowen All great men are dead and I am feeling ill. George's ability in school work is exceptional, but not being of the studious type, he is not inclined to take his studies seriously. This does not hold true for athletics, in which he has been quite successful. He has participated in our basket-ball, football, and interclass baseball games. George is supposed to be bashful, but you'd be surprised at what he could tell you. Pauline Lillian Bowers Horses she loved, and laughter, and the sun — . Polly's chief ambition is to become an expert horseback rider. She absolutely adores horses. She's bashful, but real merry when she gets with her intimate friends. She enjoys all outdoor sports. Eileen Frances Boyle The village athlete you here will meet; In all kinds of sports she knows no defeat. Eileen is always ready to talk any time, any place, or in any manner. When once started she doesn't believe in stopping. Eileen takes advantage of all the enjoyments school affords, but she does not believe that studying is an enjoyment. Eileen is a powerful athlete, a good sport, and will try anything once. We wish Eileen the best of success in her future work as a gymnastic teacher Hockey (2-3-4), Basket-ball (2-3-4), Volley Ball (2-3-4), Track (2-3-4), Debating Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (2-4), French Club (4). [13J class '29 book Thomas Joseph Brack The thing I dislike about sleep is the awakening. Gentleman, scholar, actor, and dancer. Always at ease and master of every situation in which he finds himself. He would have us believe that studies never trouble him. The facility with which he glides to the dreamy music of a waltz, and the humorous manner in which he impersonates Perry, the cowboy, help him in his classes. We are cer- tain that this lad with his congenial way will be very suc- cessful at Holy Cross. Relay Team (3), Advertising Manager Red and Gray (3-4), President Dramatic Club (3-4), Track Manager (4), Joke Committee Class Book, Junior-Senior Reception Committee, Thanksgiving Dance Committee, Christmas Dance Committee, Class Prophecy, Class Play. Janet Mary Brady Still waters run deep. Janet comes from the South-ern part of Fitchburg. She is small, but exemplifies the saying: Good things come in small packages. Janet takes an interest in her studies, and being industrious she almost always has her work in on time and thus manages to get along pretty well with all the teachers. Janet's rather serious, studious look is only a mask to keep her sense of humor from gettin g the best of her during business hours. Dramatic Club (1), Glee Club (1-4). French Club (4). Arnold Brandt Deeds not words make the man. Arnold is one who never has to worry about his marks. He has never been known to flunk a test or come to school unprepared. Arnold is especially fond of French which is his favorite study. He is a member of the French Club and has a very important reason for attending the meet- ings. When he is not studying or playing baseball, Arnold goes to dances. French Club (4). Murray Cox Brown Even tho' vanquished he could argue still. Who doesn't know Murray, 29's greatest debater? As such he reigns supreme. Murray came to us from the sunny southland and he still amuses us with that slight drawl of his. His Junior year, he made Miss GifTord and Room 34 step lively. Murray is an enthusiastic member of our school band and orchestra. The class of '29 pre- dicts a great future for him as a debater and orator. Band (3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4), Debating Club (4). Orchestra (4), Chairman Class Prophecy Committee, Stage Manager Class Play. Richard Kenneth Bullock Where, oh where, is that heart of mine? Richy bowls and shoots pool at the Y. M. during the afternoon and mixes soft drinks at Fairbanks' at night. He manages to have a good time in the classroom, but sometimes to his sorrow. He did well in last year's relay race. Richard stays at home evenings now, as his nightly promenades to Boston and vicinity have been cut short. His future career is undecided. It is rumored that he and William H. went Dear hunting up on the South Side, but they were apparently unsuccessful as Richy has been looking favorably upon a sophomore who lives near Wood's Hill. Track (3-4), Relay Team. [14] class '29 book John Lawrence Buono It may be so, but I don't know, It sounds so queer to me. Dry humor to the Nth degree, multiplied by good na- ture, add a little work and a little play; then on the other side of the equation we have the youth pictured here. Besides being poetically inclined, Joe is also master of the harmonica. He is an accepted tonic for gloom and so considered indispensable by his associates. Assistant Manager of Football (3), Glee Club (3). Eva Marguerite Bussiere She is a phantom of delight. Eva is a tiny girl with dark brown hair antl big brown eyes. Her nice smile is ever ready to drive your troubles away. Aside from being one of the smallest, she was also one of the youngest students to graduate from our class. Altho Eva does not take part in many of our school ac- tivities, she does her part by giving her loyal support. Eva's future should be just as bright as she is herself. Dramatic Club (1), French Club (1). Catherine Calt All that she does is always done well. Our Catherine is conscientious and believes that what is worth doing is worth doing well. Altho Catherine is naturally quiet and rather serious, she has a cheerful dis- position and a sunny smile which is often in use, when she is among her school friends. Catherine has slid through fouryears of high school with very little friction eitherwith her teachers or fellow classmates. Catherine plans in the future to benefit mankind by joining the teaching pro- fession. Dramatic Club (4). Leo Caplan Gee! but I'm a busy man. Cap is just one of the class who studies, works, and has a general good time. He spends his afternoons on Water Street juggling sodas and mixing sundaes. We under- stand that he is in the habit of week-ending in Providence. He is noted for his neat appearance and snappy neckties. A surgeon's life seems to be Cap's ambition, and he ex- pects to start on his road to fame with four years at Brown University. Doris Louise Carlson would rather excel others in knowledge than in power. Doris is an industrious student who makes good use of her shorthand and typewriting by working at the Normal School every other week. She shines on the Honor Roll every time the marking period approaches. Dot is never idle, for in her spare moments she is busy reviewing her studies for the day. She is a good athlete and won her numerals in track. She also has a good wing for baseball. Girls' Track (2-3), Marshal, Pallette Club, Dramatic Club. [15] class '29 book Ada Mabel Carson A face ivith gladness o'erspread, Soft smiles by human kindness bred. Ada is the last of a long line of Carsons to graduate from Fitchburg High. We do not see half enough of Ada for she is compelled to leave us immediately after school to return to Shirley. Ada is noted for her soft brown eyes which she uses effectively. When she smiles, she looks so sad and sweet that she makes a perfect picture of inno- cence. Helen Evelyn Chainey Let lessons slide by, what care I? Helen believes in exercise, but only when other people are doing it. Therefore Miss Collins and Helen do not ha 'e much in common. But if one must exercise, she believes that dancing is the only exercise worth while. We are sure of one thing in Helen's future — she will certainly never be arrested for hurrying. Helen spends her spare time drawing in patrons for the Five and Ten. She has a very long walk home from school, but she states that she does not mind the distance. The reason? She has an escort. As for lessons — well. Helen does try hard, but — . Glee Club (1-2), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Freshman Play. Mary Margaret Chisholm Ahuays light-hearted and content. Mary has so many charming characteristics that it is hard to begin to describe them. We seldom meet Mary when she isn't bubbling over with fun. Her greatest tal- ent lies in snapping pictures, especially on a dull day at Crocker Field. She is fond of all kinds of sports, especially football, and insisted on having a 50 yd. line seat every Saturday during the fall. Mary has often been seen with Brown College insignia. What do you make of this, Wat- son?

Elizabeth Alice Clark For she is just the quiet kind. Elizabeth, one of the quiet members of our class, is very conscientious and believes that what is worth doing is worth doing well. Occasionally Elizabeth opens up and gives vent to words of wisdom — then a calm follows the tempest. As yet, so far as is known, no Romeo has gained the slightest attention from Elizabeth. She says that Eastern society can't compare with that in the sun-kissed West. Glee Club (3-4). Robert William Clements And why should life all labor be? Robert has spent the last two years as a member of our class. His special interests are playing the banjo, and a iation. During the last year fiobert haS made remark- able improvement both in French and sociability during the second period. [16] class '29 book Rettie Maude Couch Breezy and jolly is she always. This precise maid is another good student. She also belongs to the part-time course. Among Rettie's assets are her lovely natural curly hair and a precious dimple in her chin. How the girls envy it. Rettie works hard to get her name on the honor list, which she does quite fre- quently. Dancing she likes fairly well and she goes to most high school dances. Marshal, Flag Committee. Marcella Ida Crowson Give thy thoughts no tongue. This is good advice for Ida, because she is very talka- tive as the members of her sewing class will testify. Her favorite expression is, Where's Annie? Annie and Ida may be found almost anytime laughing together. Ida takes her daily e.xercise by running for the car in the morn- ing. Mary Bertha Cummings A tiny, tiny voice have I. Mary's lovely black, curly hair makes her a very at- tractiv e young lady. Like the majority of farmerettes, she is very shy among strangers, but my! you should see her on the bus that takes her to and from Westminster. When Mary is not working on her studies, she turns her attention to sports. She delights in horse-back riding and can often be seen, on fine autumnal days, riding through the picturesque parts of Westminster. John Hubert Currier A good reputation is a great charge. Nothing, not even his lessons, worries John. Perhaps this is because he is such a cle 'er inventor of excuses. Johnny enjoys the study of Civics so well that he never interrupts another student who is reciting. He believes in giving them all a square deal. Johnny is seen smiling all the day. Everything he does seems to be a pleasure to him. We wish we could all be like him in this respect. Band (2«-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4), School Council. Ruth Olive Cyr Style is the dress of thoughts. Ruth is noted for her perfect wind-blown bob and her snappy clothes. She is a great lover of sports and enjoys following the team around to its out-of-town games. .She is a good athlete, especially in basket-ball. Skating at Coggshall fills some of her spare time during the winter. Her chic ajipearance and coal black hair are points that cannot be overlooked. Dramatic Club (1), Basket-ball (1-2-3-4), Hockey (1-3-4), Track (1-3-4), Glee Club (1-2-3-4). [17] class '29 book Thomas Joseph Dailey A genial manner }nakes life's journey smooth. Tom is very industrious and ambitious. He has done much for our class and may often be seen after school at some committee meeting. Getting good marks seems to come to him naturally. He knows his lessons at all times, and is a constant pleasure to all his teachers. Red and Gray Board. Class Book Committee, School Council, Relay Team, Dramatic Club, Class Play, Class Prophecy, Ring and Pin Committee. Marion Elizabeth Davis Sweet it is to have done the things one ought. Marion is one of the few members of our class who is as quiet outside school as she is inside. Her long, dark hair is the envy of many of the fair sex who are letting their hair grow. We hear that Marion intends to become a trained nurse. Glee Club f3-4). Florence Yvonne DeLorme A maiden precise and composed. Florence is an unobtrusive miss and very obliging when called upon to do her part in any affair. She attends to her own business and asks nothing from anyone. We all envy her beautiful hair and skin. She is one of our part- time commercial students who take dictation from Miss Goodfellow at the Normal School every other week. Florence should make a good secretary because of her ef- ficiency and her unassuming manner. French Club, Marshal. Arlene Louise Dement My hour at last is come. Arlene is quiet around school. She is very fond of children, for her leisure hours are spent in taking care of those in her neighborhood. Arlene, we hear, is planning to enter the Burbank Hospital to become an efficient trained nurse. Books do not seem to have much interest for Arlene. Rocco Arthur DiLorenzo A little mischief now and then, Is relished by the best of men. Crash! Bang! What's that noise? Don't get excited. It's only Rocco starting in on his drum, which makes him one of the big noises in the school band. He never wor- ries about anything — studies least of all, yet he has got along with very little friction with his teachers, especially Mr. Butler. As a good sport, he is popular with all his classmates. Band (1-2-3-4), Orchestra (1-2-.3-4). [18] class '29 book Margaret Marie Dooley She hath a natural wise sincerity. Margaret's cheerful disposition and merry smile make her a good friend and companion. She usually has good lessons without seeming to spend a great deal of time on them. She is not all business, as she joins whole-heartedly in whatever fun is going on, especially on her long distance voj'age from .South Fitchburg. Her favorite hobby is wearing her brother's sweaters, much to his displeasure. French (1), Glee Club (2), Dramatic Club (2). Eloise Annette Driscoll She held her seat, a friend to human race. Eloise is one of the bright lights of our class when it comes to studies. Now that the girls are letting their hair grow, Eloise can be glad that she has never bobbed hers. She is a very ardent club member, and belongs to them all. She was the very efficient secretary of the De- bating Club. Noted for her pleasing elderlv manner. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), French Club (2-3-4), Debating Club (2-3-4), Orchestra (1), Prize-speaking Contest (3). Austin Pember Dunn In their own merits modest men are wise. Austin, whose head is topped by wavy, red hair, is called Red by his friends. He is about as pleasant a fel- low as there is in the class. Altho he is quiet, he has a personality which appeals to all. He has the reputation of being shy, but we who know him well will realize that this is not so. He is very fond of mechanics. Red cer- tainly is a wonderful dresser, and his snappy attire attracts a great deal of attention. He is a daily passenger on the Shirley Limited, and does his part in helping to keep things merry. Glee Club (4), Dramatic Club (4). Henry Arthur Dunn His life is neither tossed in boisterous seas Of troublous world, nor lost in slothful ease. He is a very modest young man, but nevertheless we have found out that he really is a shark in chemistry. Rumor says there is just one young lady in his life. We wouldn't be astonished at all if he were elected to the Board of Selectmen of Shirley some day. Glee Club (2). Elizabeth Caro Eells A curly head — a happy heart. Elizabeth is one of the happiest and gayest members of our class. Elizabeth would make an ideal toe-dancer if she studied, because of her high arch. She is especially talented as a violin player, and we often hear the melo- dious strains of her violin when she plays with the orchestra. She is also fond of sports, and devotes her spare time to playing basket-ball for the (iirl's Club. Glee Club (1), Orchestra (1-4). [19] class '29 book Thomas Leo Enright When Irish eyes are smiling — . Leo belongs to a merry group of fellows. He ushers at the Fitchburg Theater and makes a fine appearance in his new uniform. His wa y hair has long been the envy of the girls of the class. Leo is an excellent swimmer and spends his summer afternoons at Whalom. He is a fav- orite with the fellows, and has many friends who respond to his ever-ready cheerfulness. Ruth Alice Erickson A s merry as the day is long. Ruth has a pleasing personality with a smile for every- one. Whenever you hear a funny giggle, you'll know that Ruth is around. She just can't stop laughing once she gets started. She is a good student, and gets along well with her teachers. She is also a good supporter of athlet- ics, and attends nearly all the games. Sybil Augusta Fairbanks Tall, serene, as fair a girl as e'er was seen. Sybil's fair hair and blue eyes are a welcome sight to all those who know her and appreciate her fine qualities. We know from reports that Sybil devotes herself faith- fully to her studies. Sybil has proved herself true blue, and in the years that we have known her, her good fellow- ship has been shown many times by her willingness to help another classmate. Glee Club (1). Mary Frances Ferrell love my teachers, but you know my fun must have a little show. Every morning Mary comes down with the merry Waite's Corner crowd. In school she tries to impress the teachers that she really studies a great deal, even though she may not recite much in class. We wonder in chemis- try, if Mary is afraid she will blow up the building, and so she forgets or loses her chem locker key. Glee Club (2-.S-4), Dramatic Club (2), Tennis. Bernice Anne Filiponis Witty, jolly, and carefree, Always happy as can he. Always smiling, with dimples showing, and a happy Hi for all. Bernice's ever ready friendliness has won her many followers in the Fitchburg High .School. Either in work or play she is always ready and willing to do her bit. She certainly keeps Miss Haskins busy throttling her down. Hernice is small, but as she truthfully says, You'd be surprised. Dramatic Club (1), Glee Club (1-4), Yanki San (1), Pickles (4). 1201 class '29 book Eli Manuel Fix Serene I fold my hands and wait. Eli is one of our quiet, unassuming boys, and so is seldom spoken to by any of tiie teachers. Eli must expect to be a great man some day, for he is seldom seen without a book. Whether those books concern his studies, we can- not say, but let's hope for the best. Glee Club (3-4), Band (2), Debating Club (2). Margaret Irene Flanagan Tall and serene, fine a girl as ever was seen. When in a crowd Margaret is seldom heard, but among her friends she talks ceaselessly. Margaret believes in doing her work thoroughly and faithfully. Her name is always seen on the honor roll. She has not been with us very much this year for she divides her time between the Fitchburg High School and the Safety Fund Bank. Mar- garet has been wearing a football for a long time, but only to her closest friends has she disclosed the name of the owner. Shirley Ida Flaum chatter, chatter as I go. We are always aware of Shirley's presence for her cheer- ful voice can be heard wherever she is. She overflows with news, and is always ready to impart her knowledge to her friends. The movies seem to hold a special attraction for Shirley, and she spends most of her leisure time there. Reading is another of her pastimes, and Shirley has often burned the midnight oil to finish an exciting novel. Glee Club, Debating Club, Public Speaking Club, Ukulele Club,. Lewis Clayton Fletcher Once a friend, always a friend. Here is a boy who can be depended upon, altho he may not be a wise guy or a human wonder. His favorite studies are English and Chemistry. If you can't find him at home or studying in the library, he is sure to be out shooting skunks, or maybe catching record size fish out of some sequestered nook. Frank Fredrick Friberg My talents run in many directions. Frank is one of Miss Smith's history sharks. .Altho he is a newcomer from Westminster, he is already considered one of the olfi timers of our school. He is the proud owner of one of the wonder [iroducts of the Ford Motors Company. It is not a Lincoln. The roof is a bit weatherworn and there are [jolka dots of Westminster mud on it. Prize S[)eaking (2), Basket-ball (3j. [21] class '29 book Herbert Francis Gagne As prone to mischief as able to perform it. Herbert is one of the shorties from South Fitchburg. He is a member of the band and orchestra. He special- izes in the saxophone, worse luck. Outside of school he is a newsboy. We so often read of newsboys becoming great men that we wonder toward what career he aspires. Orchestra (1-2-3-4), Band (2-3-4). Ida Agatha Gauvin Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil on books consumed the midnight oil? Ida is one of our young ladies who came to Fitchburg High for the purpose of putting Waite's Corner on the map. Ida doesn't believe, however, in spending too much time on her lessons. Studying makes her nervous. Ida has been trying to impress this upon the teachers for the last four years, but without much success. Though some- what quiet, Ida is always ready for a good time, especially so if the fun includes dancing. Stubby's vivacity makes up for Ida's quietness. Dramatic Club (4). Loretta Agnes Glenny Come on over on the sunny side of life. It's only a matter of choice. Loretta does not incline toward the serious side of life very often. Most of the time she is giggling and keeping others amused. Often when a room is buried in silence Loretta will find something to laugh at and the once silent room is in chaos. Lessons never worry her which prob- ably accounts for her gay and merry disposition. Glee Club (1). Jeannette Claire Godin Few words suffice. Jeannette is far different from her lively sister, Tony, for she is very seldom heard and speaks only when it is necessary. She does not seem to approve of modern means of traveling, for, altho she lives three miles from school, she prefers to hike rather than to take the bus. A piano holds great charm for Jeannette, and she de otes much of her time to this instrument. All who ha e heard her have enjoyed her excellent playing. Lillian Goguen The better known, the greater is her worth appreciated. Altho Lillian came to us at the beginning of the Senior year from the wilds of Westminster, she lost no time in making friends. Lillian possesses twinkling brown eyes and irresistible dimples. Of all her studies, chemistry holds the most attraction. She is fond of all outdoor sports, notably swimming, Lillian is also a faithful at- tendant at High School dances. French Club (1-2-3-4). [22] class '29 book Alice Lucille Goss Her air, her manners, all who saw, admired. Alice is very cordial, always smiling, and ready to make friends. Altho she always looks out for a good time, she does not let her lessons lag behind. Many times have we seen Alice racing down the hills of West Fitchburg for the seven thirty-five car. That is the way she takes her exercise in the country air of the West End. Everett George Gould Each mind has its own method. Everett plays baseball when it is in season. He lives in our own corner of Sunny Italy on Water Street. He seldom hurries, and always walks with a little swagger. He is considered an amusing diversion by Mr. Jeffery, as he often is guilty of stepping a bit too far up in the line at lunch. His greatest comrade in this distress is Tony Quatrello, who also is an adroit dodger. Baseball (3), Band, Track, Relay Team, French Club. Madeline Cora Greene Her cheeks like apples which the sun had rudded. Madeline is the lark of the class with her beautiful alto voice. How we all enjoy her singing. She takes part in many of the school activities. Some day we'll hear that Madeline has made her debut on the stage, as a great opera singer. Among her stella performances was that of an English governess in The Belle of Barcelona. Glee Club (2-3-4), Belle of Barcelona (3), Marshal, Class Book Committee, Senior Musicale. Mary Claire Greene She's little, but she's wise. Mary is a quick, energetic young lady who believes that what can be done today should not be left for tomorrow. Mary is probably one of the most ambitious of our class- mates. She surely must have hitched her wagon to a star. Each day she carries home uncomplainingly under her arm no small number of books. Mary's good nature, ready smile, and willingness to help have endeared her to all her classmates. Dramatic Club (1-4). Ralph Wendell Greene Silence brings friendship. We always connect Ralph Greene with the mechanical drawing department. We are sure that the drafting-office which secures his services ne.xt year will be fortunate. If you get a job as a result of this ad., Ralph, find out who wrote it and pay the commission. Much of his lime is spent in carving wood from which he has produced many beautiful designs. Apparently, he has not found his ar- tistic ideal among his schoolmates. 123] class '29 book Robert Ernest Greenwood He preferred to be good rather than to seem so. Bobbie has the distinction of being one of the tallest fellows in the class. He has been a hard worker all during his high school career, and we believe that he has derived a great deal from it. One of his chief amusements is changing records on an orthophonic victrola. He is tal- ented in music, and altho we do not hear a great deal from him about it, he seems to regard the ivories quite seriously. According to reports, Bobbie is to study for the ministry after leaving us. Glee Club (3). P ench Club (3-4), Manager of Band (4), Dramatic Club (4), Class Play (4). Margaret Elizabeth Griffin Thou art small, but thou shalt grow. Altho Margaret is a little miss, this doesn't prevent her from being heard at the football games. She is a one hundred per cent football fan and just yells and yells. Altho she is a good pianist, she has revealed her talent only to her immediate friends. As soon as Margaret hears of a good book, she hastens to read it, for books are her favorite companions. Vacation time usually finds Mar- garet at South Lincoln playing with the cows and chickens on a farm. Glee Club (4), Dramatic Club (4). - Mary Elizabeth Griffin A small spirit, but a merry one. We have many small members in our class, and Mary is one of the smallest. She is always happy and gay, with a sunny grin and a contagious giggle. Mary belongs to the part-time group, and she works in the typewriting room where she extends special privileges to certain Juniors. She is very fond of sports, and plays an excellent game of basket-ball. Track (1), Volley-ball (1), Dramatic Club (2-4), Basket- ball (2-4). Sakari Tobias Gronroos Every man has his fault and modesty is mine. Sakari, a busy lad, is always bustling about. In the morning as early as 7.30 he is at work sweeping the side- walk! Then after school he runs errands, and is seen go- ing back and forth either with a hat in his hand or an over- coat slung over his arm. We all agree that he is not the noisiest senior. Frieda Mary Guenther For she is the quiet kind whose nature never varies. Frieda may be listed as one of the quietest girls of our class. We always see her with an armful of books, which naturally explains the reason for her excellent marks. Frieda belongs to the part-timers. She works for the florist trade at Lesure's every other week. The persistent manner in which she attacks her work promises her rapid advancement in the business world. 124] class '29 book Anthony Joseph Guerra Music hath charms! What the band would do without Anthony we cannot say, for he has faithfully tooted his clarinet during his high school course. Anthony cannot decide whether to leave Fitchburg and take his place with other famous mu- sicians or stay here and teach the future generation the mysterious art of bringing forth music from a long pipe. Band (] -2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4). John Victor Hakkaraine When I sleep, I dream of baseball. Johnny is one of our baseball enthusiasts. He played on the school team, and during the summer had a team of his own. We will probably hear one of these days that Johnny has taken Babe Ruth's place. He thinks books belonging to the school belong in school, therefore, he does not care to take them home. Girls do not worry Johnny the least bit. Baseball (3). Howard Alfred Hamel Disturb not that which is quiet. Howard is a good sport in every way. A good student, he is always willing to help the poor one who can't get his lesson done. Altho he has not taken part in any of our high-school games, he plays a good game as center for St. Joseph's Ciuards. This combined with his sense of humor and shy manner have made many friends for him at F. H. S. George Martin Haulman, Jr, Molasses sweet, but oh! so slow. Here he is — our George. He's the most ambitious and hardest worker in '29 — when it comes to drawing cartoons. He is a favorite with all the girls, but partial to none. As a dancer and actor, he can't be beaten. It is pitiful that (ieorge has chosen Math for his future profession when he has shown such genius in selling neckties! His daily school record as shown by his unbroken string of honor marks is to be envied. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), French Club (2-3-4), Glee Club (4), Debating Club (3), Marshal, Class Play. William Hay, Junior His strength is unequaled. Bill is another of our gridiron warriors. If you don't believe us, ask a few of his opponents. Bill was not only a good player himself, but was a fighter for the team. As a lunch counter marshal he is unequaled. If a boy moves out of line. Bill picks him up with ease anfl sets him in his place. Furthermore we hear Bill goes touring nights, but we can't seem to identify the owner of the car. Football (3-4), Track (3-4), Marshal. 1251 class '29 book Anna Harriette Heikkinen will do my best. Anna is a loyal member of '29 who always comes to class prep ared to recite the day's lessons. She has shown her musical ability by appearing at different assemblies and at the Senior Musicale. Anna is widely famed for her classroom giggle and her sociable smile. A tall gallant youth is Anna's ideal at present. Dramatic Club (3-4), Junior and Senior Reception Committee, Write-up Committee, Marshal, Class Play. Walter John Heinig Of , their own merits, modest men are quiet. Walter is a very quiet and unassuming youth, who is not really known to any save his own chums. We do not know what Walter does with his spare time, but judging by his marks he must spend quite a bit of that time in study. Though quiet, he is well liked and the better we know him the more we like him. Marshal, Relay Team (3). Herbert Emil Heins The world deals good-naturedly with good-natured people. Herb is a very quiet boy in school and is well liked. He attended most of the football games and was an enthusias- tic supporter of our baseball team. Last year he shook off the cobwebs and took a try at running in the relay and made good. Relay Team (3). Norman Louis Henault T'is jolly to be wise. Norman is often seen in a local gift shop, so we know he is a hard working man. Not that this applies also to his lessons in school, for Norman thinks school work should never interfere with other things. He was famous as a Junior for peculiar tricks in the Chemistry Lab. Norman is not- the type that is devoted to amorous adventures, but we shall see. Baseball Manager, Relay Team (3), Dramatic Club (3-4) Sylvia Catharine Hirvi Sylvia has such charming graces. Altho Sylvia bulks large to view, she has a small soft voice and s's bother her. She swings through the corri- dors on her way to her appointments like a grenadier on parade. She is an excellent typist, but likes variety, she says, and is, furthermore, that raritj' in the business world, a stenographer with brains. She is also good at manual labor as witness her fine work in shining up the piano for the Senior Musicale. Dramatic Club, Marshal. [26] class '29 book Hazel Hough Here's a jolly person and there's no doubting that. Hazel is a happy-go-lucky member of the class. We've never seen Hazel angry in all the years that we've known her. You can always depend upon her to laugh with you when you feel in that mood. She is really interested in athletics and is one of the strongest supporters and heart- iest rooters for the teams. She is noted for her constancy to Marjorie. — Arline Ruth Houghton It's good to be merry and ivise. Hail to Arline, the girl athlete! She can swim, play basket-ball, hockey, run, and what not? The champion- ship of the Senior girls in basket-ball was largely due to Arline's clever shots. Besides being a perfect athlete, she was a very capable marshal. And as for boy friends? We often wonder how the postman can carry all the letters Arline receives daily from them. Nevertheless, she doesn't let them interfere with her studies, and her name has never failed to appear on the honor roll. In shouting, she can out-stentor the Greek Stentor himself, whose voice could be heard a mile.

William Stuart Houghton A man's character is known by his conversation. Bill, our friend of the twinkling brown eyes, who works in the public library, is always willing to help, should we need any assistance. During his Junior year, he and Bul- lock turned out to be regular night-hawks and made one memorable and e.xciting trip to Boston. He used to have a pal in his mischief, but since LaRoche left, Bill misses terribly the disputes and tussles they used to have. Bill is inclined to be happy-go-lucky in school and takes studies not too seriously as Miss Peabody says of his German. Leonard Garth Huxtable All men of ability are in great demand. Miss Merriam will always remember Garth as a bril- liant student of biology. He may not shine quite so much as one of our best students, but he works hard, never- theless. He is an artist, too, it seems, judging from the number of posters he has drawn to advertise different school affairs. In our minds we picture him as a future newsjiaper camera-man, for he has a large and varied col- lection of snapshots, some of which are beautifully tinted. His spare time is almost completely taken up for he works as a store clerk in the afternoons. He is a member of the DeMolay. Junior Class Dance Committee, Red and Gray Dance Committee (3), Red and Gray Board (3-4), Class Book. Robert Wilson Huxtable A kinder gentleman treads not the earth. Rob was an industrial student, but due to the passing of that course he is now one of those who pick their sub- jects here and there. He plinks a mean banjo and enjoys radio music. But foremost of all his amusements is re- pairing cars. He lias a I'ord for which he paid the enor- mous sum of two dollars. It wouldn't run at first, but his persistence won, and now he sometimes drives to school in it. He works in a garage afternoons and .Saturdays to fill out the day. 127] class '29 book Charles Michael lacoboni His little body lodg'd a mighty mind. Charlie is the Httle fellow whose sister in the class of '28 had those wonderful eyes. Charlie's right there as a pal. When you need a little help, ask Charlie. He hasn't the reputation of being a loud-speaker, altho he does some- times express his opinions. Even though we kid Charlie about his height, he can take a joke and return a snappy comeback. Dramatic Club (1), Class Play. Osmo Kalervo Jarvela A good fellow, loyal and true. Red's nickname will last forever unless he decides to dye his hair. He has upheld the honor of our class in athletics by shining in basket-ball and football as well as in track. He always has a smile for everyone, and we know his auburn locks have been the cause of fluttering hearts in many a fair damsel. Football (4), Track (3). Alison Elizabeth Johnson We think too little, who talk too much. Evidently Alison believes the above saying to be true, for she is very quiet. Silence is golden is another of Alison's maxims. Her smile makes up for the lack of vo- cal expression. Alison chums with Pegg ' Parkhurst. Delia Gertrude Johnson She who says little, has little to answer for. Delia is one of the smaller members of our class, who doesn't say much in school. Delia likes bookkeeping, so after she graduates she will be able to keep some business man's books in good condition. Delia and Tyyne cer- tainly can have fun when they are together. Noted for her qniet ways. Helen Constance Johnson Quiet she was, forsooth, not vain If friends be credit, she has much gain. How Helen manages to get to school in time on cold winter mornings is a puzzle, for she comes from the far end of Pearl Street. Helen is numbered among our Com- mercial students. Books must hold some attraction for she can always be relied upon to have her lessons done. When she is not doing her lessons, she is conducting the business of the Alumni Department of the Red and Gray of which she is chairman. Helen's best winter sport is skating at Page's pond. Red and Gray Board (3-4), Glee Club (2), Marshal. [28] class '29 book Nathan IIo Johnson Born for success he seemed. Here's a boy that never opens his mouth and says some- thing which he regrets afterwards. One hears him speak about as often as one sees the eclipse of the sun. In spite of this, however, he gets along finely in all his studies. We're not sure how he does it, but we think that it is be- cause of his personality. Thomas Johnston A vein of mirth beneath his air of dignity. Tom can be serious at the right time, but he never misses a chance to have some fun. He has a good disposition which has won many friends for him both in and out of school. He is an earnest student and succeeds in getting on the honor lists quite often. Though he likes his studies, he believes that sports should not be entirely forgotten. His favorite occupation is playing football with Herb and the gang. Lura Agnes Judd A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial coaxing ivay she had. If you ever need any help, go to Lura, for she is always willing to help a body in distress. She is a cheerful soul and is always in good humor. She has a hearty smile and a cheery greeting for everyone. As marshal on the first floor, she keeps the marching brigade in single lines and the whispering tongues quiet. I ura intends to go into training after she leaves this worthy institution.

Mary Jurga Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others. We have Mary with us only every other week. The odd weeks she lends her services to the Safety Fund Na- tional Bank where she shows herself a very good business woman. Mary has a long ride every morning from Shir- ley. She is a very good student in Civics and can answer any question Miss Smith asks her regarding Shirley politics. Field Day Decoration Committee, Marshal. Peter Kandianis On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined. Pete takes advantage of all the enjoyments the school offers. Pete is very active in West Street politics espec- ially when the banana interests are at stake. He claims he doesn't like the fair sex, but his actions belie his words. Pete would have been much happier if he had only been a little older and could have settled the (iresitlcntial elec- tion last year. Noted for his mean drag in 2,? his junior year. Track, (ilea Club. 129J class '29 book Lawrence Stuart Kenyon And said, What a good boy am I? Stuart is there when it comes to playing the violin. He was a successful drum-major and took great pride in lead- ing the band about Crocker Field at the football games last fall. A sheik of the latest pattern, he is very sociable and attends most of the high school dances. We expect that one daj- Stuart will be a manufacturer of automobiles as he knows all about cars from his afternoon employment at Fitzsimmons' garage.

Phil surely leads a happy-go-lucky life. If we all could let cares fly as he does, what a wonderful world this would be! During Phil's high school career his face beamed more than once in 26. Vet there is something wonderful in him, for he always managed to pass; and what is more, we hear, that he is liked by the girls. Altho Phil is slow, we are sure he would win a race with Atalanta by some clever method. A bright future awaits a man who doesn't take life too seriously. Helvi Judith Kiuru say little, hut when time shall serve, there shall be smiles. Helvi is a very busy girl. After a morning at school, she spends the afternoon in Pollock's store. When Helvi is on the job, all the customers are sure to recei 'e prompt service. Helvi's favorite sport in winter is skating, and in summer, camping. Helvi and Sylvia spend many hours together. Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (3-4), Belle of Barcelona. Irja Karin Kivinen Continual cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom. Quietly, boys! Single file! We surely can never for- get that shrill business-like voice of Irja's while she served as marshal on the second floor. Irja manages to have plenty of good times outside of school. Her excellent marks in her studies show us that she doesn't let them in- terfere with her lessons, for her name has adorned the honor roll ever since her Freshman year. We hear that Irja has a friend in Amesbury. Irja's cordiality and industry make up for her lack of participation in school activities. Junior Class Party Committee, Marshal. Norman Wendell Klein Business before pleasure. Klein allows very few to get ahead of him in tennis or the mile run. Besides he is always ready for a good busi- ness deal, such as three lunch tickets for a dime. Even his Washington trip was a very profitable journey for since then, he has very often been accompanied by a fair damsel. We expect that some day he will be an impor- tant member of the Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce as he has already started as a checker in their coat room. He is entering N. H. U. this fall and we all know he will be successful. Track (3-4), Tennis (3-4). [30] class '29 book Sulo Vernon Kontunen Lei us do or die. Sulo is a boy who sticks up for his rights, altho to get them he sometimes has to express his opinions rather strongly. He was a very active member of the class for he was business manager of the Red and Gray Board. VV'hen Lecture Room didn't respond to the call for sub- scribers to the Christmas issue of the Red and Gray, Sulo roused their spirit by putting a flaming sign on their blackboard. Assistant Business Manager Red and Gray (3), Circu- lation Manager Red and Gray (4), Marshal. Mary Fotine Kopsiaftis am no orator as Brutus was, I only talk right on. Mary quiet is a sight seldom seen, for she is usually chattering away for dear life. If the proverb be true that a woman's tongue is her weapon, Mary is well armed and can defend herself at all times. Mary does her duty to her teachers by taking her books home faithfully every day, but we do think that sometimes she forgets to open them. Ruth Vellamo Koutonen Beyond expression fair, With thy floating flaxon hair, Thy rose lips and hazel eyes. Ruth is another high honor student of our class. She is pretty, witty, and wise, and above all a wonderful dancer. The demure look in her eyes caused one of the red headed basket-ball players to break rules, but of course it was nothing serious. Miss Collins takes great interest in Ruth because she is so talented as an acrobat. Volley Ball (1-2-3), Hockey (1), Dramatic Club (1), Basket-ball (1), French Club (4). Constance Gretchen Kreimer Her words are trusty heralds of her mind. We have so much to say about Connie, and so many compliments to bestow that we really don't know where to begin. She has been interested in a great many school activities, but these numerous affairs have not interfered at all with her scholastic record. She was always on the special honor roll. She surely shone when it came to a Latin translation or a Math example. The way she has handled the Red and Gray this year is, indeed, a great ac- complishment.

Aulis Sanelma Kurki What are eyes for, if not to flirt with. .At first glance, Aulis seems to be a quiet and sedate miss, but her brown eyes brim with mischief. She enjo s dancing and thinks it far more advantageous to spend her time learning the latest step than to study her lessons. Despite this fact Aulis manages to get good marks. Aulis is an ardent skater and in the winter evenings can be found waltzing about on Mirror Lake. Noted for the smart way in which she dresses. class '29 book Leo Illmari Lahti There is nothing lacking in his size. Leo is one of our tall, fair haired idols. In his Junior yejar, Leo was shy and quiet, but what has caused this lad to blossom out, we do not know, altho we can guess. He has not decided yet whether he will enter the movies and make a name for himself or whether he will remain here in his home town. Leo deserves credit for running in the relay our Junior year. Basket-ball (3), Relay Team (3). Raymond Ernest Lammers While there is life there's hope. You can't miss seeing Raymond in a crowd, for his red hair is so conspicuous. He does not seem to be attracted by anything especially, unless we except English. From yhat we have heard we deduce that he is ver ' fond of Eng- lish, or is it just the opposite? Glee Club (1), Dramatic Club (1), Orchestra (4). Elizabeth Mary Lamontagne With a smile that was childlike and bland. Beth is a little maid whose childlike smile seems to ex- press her quiet manner. She rarely speaks in school. If it's a question in French, ask Elizabeth, for she's sure to know the answer. An excellent French student, she speaks that language as fluently as English. Beth and Jeannette are close friends and are always seen together at school. French Club (3-4). Voitto Mathews Lassila He may be silent and not cast away His sentences in vain. Voitto may not be as loquacious in school as some peo- ple are, but it is merely because his mind is on his g 'mnastic work for he spends his e 'enings in the g 'mnasium as an instructor. When these duties are done, he begins his own work on the single and parallel bars. He has spent years ir;_ training, both inside and out-of-doors. Everyone knows that he has no rival when it comes to pole-vaulting. He was also captain of the bo3''s gym team which was be- gun this year. Track '2-3-4). Paul Armand Lavoie He must be known to be appreciated. Paul is an earnest student, who believes that school is a place for study and not for play. He is a shark in Civics as well as in Biology in which he particularly excels. He does not, however, confine his industr ' to school work only for when not engaged in doing homework, he is busy at the Fitchburg Sentinel.

This is Lillian's motto in all her gym work, in which she excels. She has carried away several honors for the Turner Girls' g 'm class of which she is a member. Lillian is also a faithful supporter of the Red and Gray. She does not seem to pav very much attention to the opposite sex. French Club (2), Hockey (3), Volley Ball (3), Track (4), Tennis (4), Basket-ball (4), Marshal. Bertha Anna Leger think, therefore I am. Bertha is rather quiet, but is a jolly friend when one gets to know her. Her interests seem to be centered outside of school. She is just a good sort who studies, and yet we doubt whether her studies ever worry her. Bertha is a lover of bookkeeping, in fact, she took a special course in night school. We wonder when Bertha will get her fill of it. She works ev-ery other week at the high school bank, and at noon selling lunch tickets to the hungry mob which at times almost rushes her off her feet. Lloyd Richard Lemay Stick as I am, all true lovers are. Pete is another of our out-standing athletes. However, he has other talents, for we hear he's quite a singer in the locker room. We all wonder, too, why he takes sessions when he doesn't have to. Perhaps it's to do his home work, but we hear differently.

Football (3-4). Helen Mary Lennon Ever loyal, ever true. To the toil and task she has to do. To Helen is given the privilege of getting high marks — some one has to. In her work she is always neat and care- ful; and when she decides a thing can be done, well, look out, for Helen will do it. She proved that in shorthand and civics. Helen chums around with Jane who brightens up her gloomy days with her humorous sayings. Helen's ambition is to become a school ma'am, and by the looks of things she is well on her way. French Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (4). Elena Leppala Carefree as the wind am I. Nothing ever worries Lena, and she takes things just as they come along. Studies never bother her, and her work is sure to be done at the last minute, perhaps aided by a more studious friend. She is a graceful skater, and many a win- ter's moonlight evening she may be seen skimming over the glassy surface of Coggshall Park. She is an enthu- siastic rooter at all the athletic contests and often her voice can be heard above the rest when a good play is made. Basket-ball (1-2), Track (2), Glee Club (2).

We are sure that Eddie will make a place for himself in this world if he keeps up the splendid work he has been doing. Relay Team (3), Marshal. Herman Irving Levin Good nature and good sense are usually companions. Herman likes an easy, quiet, poetic life. He's happiest when he is producing sweet strains from his violin, both for his own amusement and for the benefit of the school orchestra. The same qualities enable him to harmonize mathematical problems as attested by his success in Mr. Howe's classes. He wins many friends by filling his car with co-eds for the out-of-town athletic games. Orchestra (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (4), Relay Team. Anna Cecelia Lombard Let people laugh as long as I am warm.

Effie is one of the quiet girls of our class, but if we could get the fine marks that Effie does, we would be floating in air. For no one deserves them more than she. She takes things as they come without a grumble. Effie is always ready to greet her chums with a cheerful smile. Her readiness to give a helping hand to those who need it has added mliny friends to Effie's list. Ruth Elaine Longsjo Cheek or chin, knuckle or kyiee Where shall Ruth's dimple be? We suspect Ruth's mother of having placed thimbles in her cheeks when she vas a baby for she has an irresistable pair of dimples. Ruth thinks the best place for books is in school, yet she skips ofT with high honors each time. Never start an argument with her because she's bound to win it. She'll talk so long that you will be willing to say that black is white. To Ruth as editor-in-chief of the Class I5ook, we owe a great deal of gratitude for making it a success. We are sure she will never be an actress be- cause she dislikes making public appearances on the stage. Glee Club (2-3), Class Book Committee, Marshal.

John showed his athletic ability as a member of the relay and basket- ball teams. His chief worry isn't women but the fact that he might receive all A's at the end of June. Lunky will never forget that day some unknown person set off a fire- cracker in gym class. His main outside interest is running the Johnsonia Building. We wish the University of Maine luck when it gains John as a loyal member in its ranks. Relay team (3). Aune Sylvia Lystila Her voice is ever soft, gentle, and low, An excellent thing in woman.

Why aren't they all contented like me? Stubby entered Fitchburg High with a broad cheery smile which has remained in spite of the wear and tear of the past four years. She is another of the versatile girl athletes of the class and surely deserves mention when we recall her work on the basket-ball floor and on the hockey field. Athletics are her joy, and if she is not a participant you may be sure that she is watching the boys in various contests. Tripping the light fantastic also a ppeals to Stubby and from all reports, she may be heard of in the future as the premiere danseuse in a Broadway musical review.

Papken Melkisethian Diligence is the greatest of virtues. Papken is a quiet kind of chap. He doesn't allow many things to divert his attention from the task at hand. This, of course, means he is a fair scholar in the average. With a little development he should become a runner, for he is better in that than in any other form of sport. Relay Team (3), Glee Club (1-2-3-4). 137J class '29 book Souren Melkisethian Not too serious, not too gay, A good felloiv in every ivay.

He is so busy both in and out of school that he has little time for horseplay. After school he may usually be found in his father's store. Dramatic Club (4). Charles Frederick George Miller Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you. Charley is a quiet but pleasing sort of chap. He was the manager of our basket-ball team and filled the position well. We have always thought Charley was girl-shy, but since we heard that he was refereeing girls' basket-ball games, we have changed our minds. Charley is a member of the school band and orchestra. He is also running an orchestra of his own, in which he and his pal, Kaarlo, show their musical talent at its best.

She loves the winter season, for then she can skate to her heart's con- tent, and, when there is no skating, the movies are always interesting and enjoyable. Peggy and Alice are constant companions and are always found together up West. When her high school days are over, Margaret expects to become a member of the Fitchburg Normal School. Ruth Carolyn Moeckel Quiet and reserved is her manner. Ruth has dark shiny hair and brown glistening eyes which are a great attraction to the boys. She is one of Miss Peabody's third year German students and comes to class every day despairing or rejoicing over the fate of Karl Heinrich, one of her Cerman heroes. When Ruth isn't busy with school work, we often see her at a movie show with some handsome brute. Uuno Armas Moilanen Each mind has its own method. Uuno is one of the silent partners of our class. He has not had very much in common with the fair damsels; however, he is slowly overcoming some of his bashfulness. Uuno's greatest hobby is monkeying with an automobile engine. .Some day we will hear of him as a great automo- bile mechanic. Uuno does not spend all of his time with his automobile for occasionally he enjoys reading a good book. class '29 book Konrad Waldemar Moisio see but cannot reach the height.

At present he holds the record for the high-jump, fi e feet eleven and three-eighths inches. Kon- nie is going to try to make the track team in I 929. If his knee holds out he's as good as there already and we're all waiting for him to give us a new record. Track (2-3-4). Laurence Francis Morris ivas short when I was little, and I've been short ever since. Larry came to us in our Sophomore year from Dorches- ter. We have often wondered whether he spent his child- hood days on a ranch or near a livery stable. Swimming holds a good deal of attraction for Larry, and we have often seen him diving gracefully into the water at Whalom. Larry is a big help to his father, for we know that he often works in his dad's drug store. Football (3-4). Veikko Mortberg Progress is made by work alone. Here comes Wisko with his hard heels. He's one of the few who have given themselves up as an offering to the goddess of school work. He has worked hard for four years and been repaid by seeing his name on the honor roll. His regular attendance in school is a miracle, for he has been absent but one day in four years. He often enters his home room just as the last bell rings, as he has learned to judge his time to a second. But he is never late. Alice Lenore Mossey To music doth my soul aspire. Alice is fond of giving her friends the creeps by telling them ghost stories. She is interested, too, in winter sports, and she claims that sliding on a double-runner is her fav- orite.

Juny has been so quiet and unobtrusive throughout High School we hardly knew he was with us until last fall on the gridiron — then we sat up and took notice — for he was a clever, if not brawny, backfield man. He likes to skate at Coggshall on cold wintry evenings, too, and many a young damsel has cast a glance or two his way when his graceful figure has glided over the smooth surface. Girls never bother Bill, but he is a great favorite with the fellows, who like him for his quiet, unassuming manner. Football (2-3-4), Baseball (3), Relay Team (3-4).

Good nature is Dot's weakness. Joseph John Norton For he is a jolly good fellow. We have not yet been able to discover how Joe manages to get his homework done, for when he is not in school, he is usually in his Buick. He has a fondness for riding up and down Main Street.

Pete spends a great deal of his time up on Blossom Street. Perhaps that's why his lessons aren't d one every day. He is one of those boys you have to look up to when he enters the room, because he reaches the height of six feet quite easily. In civics class he vies with M.

He is a good Physics pupil. Always cheerful. Anthony John Sacino Of softest manners, unaffected mind, Lover of peace and friend of human kind. Tony is always thought of as a good friend of everyone. He comes from Fitchburg's own corner of Sunny Italy. He is one of Mr. Bouvier's tenor warblers. We all heard him in the Belle of Barcelona. Tony likes to dance, too, and he is always around at any school dance. School work he considers something to be done each day.

Gertrude believes that talking when well done is a virtue rathet th otherwise. She is a good worker, as is shown by her success in having attained and kept her name on the honor roll. Gertrude thinks, however, that all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl, and so is always ready to join in when fun reigns. Gertrude intends to adopt teaching as her life profession.

' ' Sam certainly has her share of It even though she is a little girl. She is a great sport follower. You should see her in the gym or at Crocker Field. She has not, however, let this interfere with her studies. Sam's ambition was to win a gold F, and by her record she was on the right road, for she has been on the high honor roll throughout her high school career.

Priscilla Anne Sammet Thou who hast the fatal gift of beauty. Priscilla, while quiet, is very attractive. She is very much interested in athletics, and spends most of her spare time at Turner Hall, where she is a member of the gymna- sium class and the basket-ball team. We have heard that she has won many prizes at Turner Hall, in the high-jump and the 50-yd. dash. Recently our curiosity has been aroused by the mysterious letters appearing on her jersey. We have only been able to find out that it is a secret order.

Kaarlo is one of our good-natured classmates, who is a ver - talented musician on wind instruments. He is a member of the High School Band and Orchestra, as well as other orchestras outside of school. Kaarlo studies faithfully, and receives good marks for his work. He does not, ho ve er, spend all his time stud ing or playing, for we often see him on Main Street with his pal Charley. Band (1-4), Orchestra (1-4). Helen Sayers A light heart and a joy of living are indeed a blessing. We have in Scotty a live wire, and a willing helper. As a member of the Rainbow Society, she makes their parties and meetings merry. Studies don't seem to bother Helen. Perhaps it is because she is Scotch and is always looking for something free. Whenever we are looking for Scotty we search Main Street first, because she is usually there with one of her gang. School Council (3). Dorothy Margaretta Schadlich Laughing eyes, a merry smile. And a merry, merry heart. Dot is one of our most popular and likable girls. She is interested in all class acti ities. We hear her heart went with a certain basket-ball pla 'er. Dot keeps a stern eye on the lines on the fourth floor to see that all the rules are carried out. She is well liked by all her teachers. Here's to our best triple threat, Gladvs, Priscilla, and Dot.

She always belie es in being prepared, and can be depended on to be there with the answers in every class. For three years she has shown her musical ability and loyalty to the school by faithfully playing her cello in our orchestra. Her usual expression in the corridor is: No talking, girls.

His great work on the football team, as half- back, will long be remembered. Didn't he just seem to flv through the lines of our opponents? It was an inspira- tion to watch him play, because he put his all into every game. Basket-ball, however, is another sport in which Jimmy ranks high. He is a favorite with the fellows and the girls especially. When there is to be a dance, Jimmy is not only ready to lend his assistance in putting up decor- ations, but he is usually at every social affair that comes along.

Priscilla is dark, sedate, and quiet. When stirred with emotion, her coal black eyes glisten like those of an Indian. Skating has a great attraction for Priscilla, and often on moonlight nights she is seen gliding gracefully o -er the smooth surface of the ice. She likes to dance, also. In the afternoons she trots to market with a familiar basket which we so often have seen dangling under her arm. We believe this is good practice for the future. Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Elinor Needham Stevens repose, I write, I think. Elinor is one of the most fascinating brunettes of our class. She has beauty, charm, and brimming eyes full of life and happiness. Everybody likes Elinor because of her charming manners and agreeableness. She holds us spell- bound when she dances. Elinor's chief method of ex- pressing herself is poetry. Sonnets, blank verse, and funny riddles are all in her power. We know she will be a great figure in the literary world, for all her attempts at story writing have proved satisfactory thus far. Dramatic Club. Lillian Gertrude Stockwell Quietness has its own charms. Lillian is one of our many blondes. She has a long walk to school. But we never hear of her being late, proving that she must rise with the chickens. Lillian is a very good cello player, but she seems to have hidden her talent during her high school career. She was, however, a very impor- tant member of the orchestra in grammar school. Lillian is a member of the hard-working part-timers, and every other week is to be found at The Safety Fund National Bank. Marshal. Arthur Napoleon St. Pierre Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. Arthur is a quiet chap who always tends to his own af- fairs. He is greatly interested in radios and in drawing especially. We hear that in the past his pen has sketched some very pretty designs, mostly posters. Ernest Roy St. Pierre O this learninji, what a thin it is. Ernie believes in doing just as he pleases. He can be quite brilliant, but delights in playing pranks. Ernie takes great interest in the band, and never misses a dance. He certainly has his share of good looks, and con- sequently he is the envy of many of his fellow classmates. He is indirectly interested in the nursing profession. Band.

Whenever you see a new styled gown, you may be sure Nancy is present. She has a large circle of friends of both sexes, and is very fond of dancing. Nancy is an ar- dent sport fan and attends nearly all the games. Altho books haven't much interest for her, she manages to get along. Advanced Typewriting Club (1), Dramatic Club. Harold Cass Tarbox We can live without a brother, but not without a friend. Harold certainly can make and keep friends. He be- lieves in silence; but as it is generally men with brains who keep silent, why should he worry? Harold can be found at the Y. M. C. A. bowling alleys almost anytime. He is an ardent sports fan and loves to make guesses as to who will be the next world's champion. Lillian Tater All people said she had authority. Lillian is a master of the English language, .' he is an excellent speaker and holds the interest of her audience with her powerful vocabulary. She is an important mem- ber of the Debating Club, and her strong arguments have made her the victor in many discussions. She never ne- glects her homework.

A true Saxon type with flaxen hair. She sings, dances, plays the piano, and is excellent at tennis. Katharine doesn't waste any too much time pondering over volumes of Plato or Socrates, but on the contrary prefers to play bridge for hours.

Most of them would look de- cidedly unbalanced if a hair was taken from either side. Not so with him. He has a wonderful smile, coming like the sunrise, showing faint at first, later more sure and final- ly it beams forth. He fears he will get a marcel in his spine from leaning on things while waiting for the car to and from West Fitchburg. Meri Tikkala She is the sweetest of all singers. Meri, our golden haired nightingale, may generally be heard humming some pretty tune. She is a continuous giggler, and her happy disposition makes all her pals forget the miseries of school life. Meri is the shining star of Mr. Dufour's Spanish class, and as the daughter of a Spanish grandee in The Belle of Barcelona, she mimed the perfect Castilian. We wonder how Mr. Bouvier will manage without Meri, for there hasn't been a musical entertain- ment in school to which she hasn't contributed her rich soprano voice.

Ursula is very interested in the theatre and in modern art. Her ambitions are pointed towards Radciiffe, and we are sure she will be very successful there. Dramatic Club (4), Basket-ball (4). Tauno Ensio Valimaki All great men are dying and I am feeling ill. Tauno is that tall, Herculean young man who walks down the corridors, with his head held high, as though he hadn't a care in the world. He is a divine dancer, and at- tends-all our social gatherings. Do you remember way back in our Freshman year when he participated in a great many dramatic club entertainments, and was also the leading man in Alley 9990 ? He is still an actor, pretending that girls hold no interest for him whatsoever, but we who know him, do not surely accuse him of being a woman-hater. dee Club (1-4), School Council (2), Write-up Commit- tee.

Alma is especially fond of dancing, and is willing to sacrifice her lessons for that cause. Nevertheless, she seems able to keep up, altho she makes these sacrifices quite often. James William Walsh He may be small, but he's the best of them all. Iron is one of the most popular members of our class. He was captain of our football team last fall, and cer- tainly did put pep into the team. Football calls for only a small portion of his ability though, for he is Secretary of our School Council and has been known to write a four page report. Jimmy is a frequent visitor on the South Side.

He's got one awful line, and if he doesn't get in his own effective word no one does. He is an expert grocer along with his other accomplishments. Bernard is the kind of fellow who reaches whatever goal he sets out for. We wish him luck at Holy Cross and later success in law. Glee Club (2), Debating Club (2). Sylvia Helena Wartiainen A shy face is better than a forward heart. Sylvia is one of our blonde, blue-eyed, quiet, and unas- suming girls from Westminster. For this reason we do not see much of her e.xcept in school, but that is enough to tell us that she is a staunch friend and charming companion and willing to help so far as she is able. Sylvia is one of the few who does not have to worry about studies, yet she has saved many a class by her conscientious answers. Syl- via is one of our future school-ma'ams. French Club (3). Walter John Waszeciak A merry smile doeth good like medicine. Lowell High lost a good bet when Wazy pulled out for Fitchburg, and ¥. H.

We know that Kitty will not need to carry a horse-shoe around with her, for if personality means success, Kitty's ship will come in brimming over with good fortune. Debating Club. Hazen Wheeler All dressed up and no place to go. Hazen is one of the handsomest boys in our class. (Jwing to his snappy sweaters, ties, and manner, he has attracted the attention of many a young girl. Hazen is a wonderful dancer and never misses a school dance, provided the Shirley bus is running. Hazen didn't care terribly much for studies, but he managed to get along pretty well. We are sure Hazen 's future will be bright and eventful, and sprinkled full of girls.

Don't rush fellows, the hospital is large and life is not so short after all. Donald Frederick Whitney Let lessons slide by ivhat care I. Don, one of our footl)all heroes, was hurt this year and so was unable to finish the season's schedule. He was a fine football player and an asset to the team.

Synopsis Melisande Knowle, called Sandy, is a young girl who seeks romance and dreams of a 'Prince Charming. Yet she does not believe she can find romance in a man working in the stock exchange, or in keeping a home and planning meals; therefore she refuses to marry Bobby Coote, a young broker, fond of good food and a comfortable home. In a picturesque woodland setting, Sandy meets Gervase Mallory, dressed in blue and gold like a knight of yore. Ah, there is romance in the world after all! She is soon disillusioned, for she finds out that Gervase is considerably like Bobby Coote and the other young men of her acquaintance. Gervase tries to convince her that there is romance — and a great deal of it — in seemingly everyday life. Sandy is convinced, for we last see her reading a recipe for bread sauce as though she believed there was romance even in that.

THE SENIOR GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM The Senior Girls' Hockey Team, under the competent guidance of their h'vely .captain, Gladys Sammet, and the able coaching of Miss Collins, secured the cham- pionship this year. This was done by winning game after game with the other class teams. The girls played hard and aggressively. Good sportsmanship prevailed throughout the schedule of games and the girls are to be praised for the fine showing they made.

GIRLS' BASKET-BALL The Senior Girls' Basket-ball team won the championship of the school this year by defeating the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Jimiors, for the third successive time. Since their sophomore year no one else has had a chance. During their sophomore year they were defeated once, their junior year, once, and their senior year, under the able leadership of their captain, Mae McAuliff, they came through unscathed. It would be hard to select any individual star from this group, as the girls, under the coaching of Miss Collins, are firm believers in Coach Amiott's system of team work and they play as a unit. Their Motto The star of 'em all. Is the girl who can grin, When she's jerked from the game, And a sub sent in. [77] September 4. Back again! Let's make the best of it, for there's only one year left. 5. Whoopee! Miss Clark and Mr. Gilbert have joined our faculty. 6. Locker keys are only fifty cents this year! Will wonders ever cease? 7. No school till next week! But plenty of homework. Will I do it? Three guesses. 10. The Executive Body of the class of 1929 will serve a second term. Rah! Rah! Rah! 11. P. G.'s to the right of us, P. G.'s to the left of us — Let's hope the seeds of knowl- edge will take root this year. 12. Mr. Bouvier's songbirds have begun to warble. More harmony would relieve the strain on our ears. 13. Just imagine! The little Sophomores had the first assembly. 14. Tra la. Only thirty-four more weeks of school. 17. First general assembly. Gee, it did feel good to sit down. 18. Miss Haskins's tea parties have begun. I was the first to arrive. Where? Why, room 26, of course. 1[78] class '29 book 19. Mr. Dooling said his automobile was held up three times by irate owners for scaring horses. Get a new car, Mr. Dooling. 20. Senior Assembly! Doctor Brown gave the boys' budget, and Miss Taylor the girls'. This was Miss Taylor's first appearance before our class. Come again, Miss Taylor. 21. School night. Speeches, cheering, 'n everything. 24. Gray was chosen as photographer. I hope my picture doesn't look too much like me. Three cheers! We won our first football game. 25. Junior election results: President Robert Arnott. Vice-President Elvi Siipola. Secretary, Agnes McElroy. Treasurer, Stephen Woodbury. 27. Junior Assembly! The first appearance of the officers. Atkinson and Phinney walked out faster than they walked in. October 1. Mr. Burrage says he would be willing to give Mr. Jeffrey $1,000 and not ask for a receipt. Diogenes, put out your light. 2. Members of the write-up committee chose their victims. 4. Miss Collins' gym classes polished the assembly hall floor nicely. But, did you see their middies? 5. Rally for Medford game. The cheer leaders would make better orchestra leaders. 8. Much groaning and gnashing of teeth. Medford won, 7-0. 9. The Red and Gray joke boxes are being filled with humor in the form of candy wrappers, waste paper, and an occasional joke. 11. Another Sophomore assembly. I thought the Seniors had the drag. It must feel good to get a decent seat, though. 12. No school today! Columbus was a great man. 15. I hope Mr. Chalmers's talk on Look out for the little things, will make others notice me! 16. Whoopee! Miracles do happen! I passed a Civics exam. 18. Mr. Krause entertained us with the violin today. He gave a very funny talk about the instrument itself. 19. Class book dance! The orthophonic looked good on the platform. Bunny O'Connor and Ernest St. Pierre furnished the music for the dancing. 22. Waltham 19 — Fitchburg 0. Are we down hearted? No-0-0! 26. Report cards! Enough said. 30. Captain Walsh seems to be quite stuck-up today, but 'tis only a stiff neck from the St. Peter's game. November 2. Teachers' Convention Day. I wish they had more of 'em. 7. No rally for the boys this week. We're with you, team, just the same. 12. Whoopee! Armistice Day. No school. [79] class '29 book 13. The boys beat Boston Commerce High, 19-6! 15. At last — a Senior Assembly. Save your pennies for the Class Book and the Thanksgiving dance. Argument — do I get a gold For don't I? 16. We ought to beat Brockton, for, according to Captain Walsh, Gabby and Fat will give their all. 19. 'Twas a wonderful game, but Brockton won, 27-0. 20. If posters have anything to do with it, the Thanksgiving dance will be a howling success! 21. I wonder why they didn't put my picture up with Gert's and Elsie's. 24. We won! Providence Tech-6, Fitchburg-10. 26. Something new for the cheering section. We're going to spell out F. H. S. with red and gray cardboards. Pretty nifty, says I. 28. The last football rally! Joe Miller spoke and Dr. McMurray led the cheering and singing. 29. Sad news. Leominster won, 6-3. Thanksgiving dance — a great success. The dance was called informal, but three boys were ejected for wearing sweaters! December General Assembly. Marks come out in three weeks. Laugh that off! The Rising of the Moon was presented at the Dramatic Club meeting. Leon Drury Jr., Malcolm Bowes, Charles Cashman, and George Haulman were the actors. Christmas is coming. The chorus is singing carols. Must have certified marks throughout High School course to get into Normal School without exams. It would be changed this year. We wonder if Gabby is going to be a school teacher someday. He's getting plenty of practise teaching English. Red and Gray out today. Seniors and Juniors entertain at the Sophomore Assembl}'. French Club Christmas party. Carol-singing, refreshments, 'n everything. Bob Greenwood played Santa Claus and distributed gifts. The Red and Gray was over subscibed by about fifty copies. Several rooms were 100%. Joint meeting of the Debating Clubs has been postponed indefinitely. Senior assembly. Kalervo Ylonen and Edwin Holt, banjo selections; Doris Pen- der, recitation; Gertrude Nivell, recitation. Christmas Assembly. A gift for all — report cards! January 2. Back again to the daily grind! Exchanging our little white Christmas gifts for new ones to be given in February. 3. Junior Assembly. Members on program absent. Assembly postponed. 4. Somebody should suggest a three day school week. Seemed nice, this week. 7. Those angelic sophs seem to have a good influence over us. The absence and tardy records are improving. 3. 6. 7. 10. 11. 13. 14. 17. 18. 20. 21. [80] class '29 book 8. Riot in school today. Joint meeting of Boys' and Girls' Debating Clubs. 9. The Sophs are beginning to high hat us. They lead the special honor roll. We'd better take them down a peg or two next marking. 10. No excitement here. How about burning the school, or somethin'? 14. No assembly. Nothing to scold us for. We must be getting better every day. 15. Broke three New Year's resolutions today! The sooner the better, don't have to think of 'em any more. 17. Sophomores grab the Assembly Hall. Future French, German, Spanish, and Latin professors spoke in the languages they will teach. 21. Thrift week. Follow Benjamin Franklin's example and save your pennies. 22. Found out that Miss Dunn gives a session when you drop your pencil, 'cause she loves you. 24. Mrs. George Ladd, a former actress of note, gave a lecture on dramatics. Very interesting, but made several change their minds. Members of the Dramatic Club were invited to remain after the lecture to meet Mrs Ladd. As a reward, Mr. Chalmers gave each a session. Glad I didn't go. 28. Going to starve now. Recess is changed. I wish that those who have first re- cess weren't such giants. They don't leave anything for us. 29. No talking in lines! Mr. Chalmers is handing out sessions. Twenty-nine in one day. Why can't I stop talking? 30. Tickets for open meeting are going fast. Buy now, avoid the rush. At last they've stopped pestering me. I bought one. 31. Juniors get the Assembly. Elsa Schaff's orchestra helped while away the weary half hour with its jazz. They got a big kick out of it. So did L till Mr. Chalmers saw me in the corridor. February 1. Class Book goes on sale. Open meeting of Dramatic and French Clubs. Seniors win loving cup with the play The Florist Shop. Did anyone recognize our class president, I wonder? 4. According to Mr. Chalmers about 200 had to be sent away last Friday night at the open meeting — all tickets sold. Competition among the classes was keen enough to interest all. 5. Riot in room 39! Miss Gruener's pet snake, Horace, escaped. Several lives saved by the daring of a little Sophomore who caught him. 6. Have you heard the Sophs grumbling 'cause the Seniors took the cup? We'll root for them next year and hope that they get it from the Seniors then. 7. Almost got drowned in the fine swimming pool in front of the school today. Wasn't it wonderful splashing through the slush? George Olson Jr., spoke at the assembly. Didn't hear him 'cause I took advan- tage of the wonderful opportunity and went home. 8. Band and orchestra held a concert in B. F. Brown auditorium. Good music, good audience. 12. Lincoln's birthday. Assembly arranged by Miss Smith. We'll all soon know the Gettysburg Address, we hear it so often. I wish someone would suggest our having a holiday on Honest Abe's birthday. 13. Senior Musicale. One of the bright spots of the program was the piano pol- ished by Sylvia Hirvi. Wonder where they got the feathers for Gert's hat? [81] class '29 book 14. Sophomores present the play Do you beHeve in luck? at their assembly. 15. Meeting of editors of school papers held at the Fitchburg High School. Juniors presented the play The Trysting Place. Luncheon served. 18. Another Monday morning assembly omitted! Looked around to see if we were sprouting wings yet. 19. Test papers coming back! I hate to think of my report card! 21. Junior Assembly. School closed for a week after the white plague swept through the school. March 4. Back in school! What a gloomy crowd we are. 5. The teachers seem glad to be back. I never had so much homework to do. 7. Sophomore Assembly. Mr. Dufour sang. The Sophs weren't the only ones to get the benefit of his voice, 'cause it was heard all over the building. 8. I wish they'd put sand or something on these floors. All week long I've slipped and slid along the corridors. 11. Curses on the luck! Debating Club picture postponed again! 13. Red and Gray out tomorrow. From the advertisements, we gather that this will be the biggest and best issue published. 14. Senior Assembly. Mr. Hubbard and George Siipola spoke about the Class Book. Dig deep into your pockets, Seniors! Louise Murdock gave us all a great surprise with her sweet voice. 15. French Club meeting yesterday. Very interesting program. All members joined in a French spelling bee. Connie Kreimer walked off with the prize. 18. Mr. Chalmers presented Senior members of the Red and Gray Board with pins. They're the sweetest things. Lucky dogs! 19. Tryouts for Pickles, Glee Club musical comedy. The Glee Club turned out full force. 20. Mr. Chalmers is out catching students out of bounds. I would get caught — but I had an excuse. Ha! Ha! 21. Junior Assembly. World's worst play presented by world's worst actors. 22. Cast of The Romantic Age is dashing madly about trying to sell tickets. Gertie Nivell is in the lead now. 25. The boys seemed quite interested in Engineering. They all dashed off to the Assembly Hall. 26. Herbert Gagne was too tired to wait until afternoon for his nap, so he took it in his French class. Miss Fuller had to wake him with the window stick. O, sleep, it is a gentle thing. 28. Gold F. Assembly. Dr. Thomas Chalmers gave a very interesting talk in which he gave Mr. Chalmers away. Larry Hobbs presented the Gold F's to the win- ners. I never saw such a nervous group of students as those on the platform. April 1. Bob Greenwood and George Haulman presented a bit from the Class Play, The Romantic Age. I was truly surprised when Bob sang. 2. Special Senior Assembly. Mystery in the air! But it turned out to be more about the new scholarship and college application blanks. We certainly were disappointed. [82] class '29 book 3. Sh-sh-sh! Heap big secret! Jimmy pedals a bike (saved from his childhood days) up Laurel Hill when he calls on Tilly. 4. The Sophomores certainly have a drag. They always get the best assemblies. Mrs. Pierce played several piano selections. Simply marvelous! 5. According to Paul Smith, Junior wise-cracker, Death Valley (California) is at the end of Funeral Range. 8. Madame Dupee, radio broadcaster, read several French poems and a selection from Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon. I was in a daze, trying to catch a word here and there. 9. Special assembly for Sophomore girls. They're such a boisterous crowd that the boys and girls have to have separate assemblies. Mr. Chalmers spoke about next year's courses. Alas! We shall no longer be here to pester them. 10. The best assembly we've ever had! Mr. Cameron Beck of the New York Stock Exchange gave a truly inspiring talk. Arline H. got the Uneeda biscuits — and we were all simply starving! 11. Miss Ranney gave, at our assembly, a most interesting book review of Up From Bloomsbury — the autobiography of George Arliss. 12. Tom Dailey is to be our graduation speaker. Poor Tom! 15. Oratorical contest! Danny Mylott and Paul Lavoie competed. Danny won the battle; therefore, he gets a trip to Worcester, where he will speak again. 16. Sophomore Boys' Assembly. More about next year's courses. 17. Danny was among the first at the Worcester gab fest. Congratulations, Danny, and may you win at the semi-finals! Class play scenery disappears; then is found. Seats brought down from F. H. S., gum and all, for the play. 18. Nifty jazz band at the Junior assembly. Why not invite us to a good one? Class Play!! 19. 'Nother holiday! We're all patriots, so stayed home from school. Class play again!! 22. Special Junior Assembly. Still more about next year's courses. But why re- mind them that that will be their last year? 23. Don't the new marshals look bashful? I wonder if we looked like that last year? 24. Here's a good one! Two of our Gold F girls went to the Art Center yesterday where they found this sign on the door: 'Please Pull the Door Sticks. They stood there for almost five minutes trying to puzzle out what door sticks were. Finally one of them shouted, That needs punctuation. It should be 'Please Pull; the Door Sticks.' Get the point? 25. Thought Fd be smart today and see if the Junior marshals had nerve; I surely got stung. I walked down the corridor talking and passed a marshal. Got a surprise. No talking, girls, was what I heard. 26. Report Cards. 'Nuf said. The crowd left for Washington. No tears shed! Illustrated lecture by Frank B. Riley on The Beauty and Natural Resources of the Northwest. It was great. [83] class '29 book May 6. The teachers are prepared for the last term's battle, but so are we — we'll put up a good fight, too. 7. Assembly for the Senior boys only! Very mysterious! The girls were quite disappointed when they found out it was only a call for track. 8. The tongues of the Washington trippers are still busily wagging. Ho! Hum! They'll stop some day! 9. With a great deal of ah'ing and oh'ing the Senior girls chose their graduation dresses. Then they talked about the sweetest little dresses you ever saw the rest of the day. 10. Our school certainly has talent in the line of music. The Glee Clubs won first place at the May festival in Boston. 11. The hungry horde of Seniors thronged the Hotel Raymond — all ate heartily. Sh-sh! The boys ought to learn to dance for there were only about a dozen boys dancing. 15. Rehearsals for Pickles take up considerable time just now. If the name has anything to do with success, the operetta certainly ought to be one. 16. A tree was planted in the school yard in memory of Post 19, -G. A. R. Conse- quently no French today. Last issue of the Red and Gray out. The Board certainly has done good work this year. 17. Found out that every copy of the Red and Gray had been sold yesterday. That's the third time this has happened this year. Three cheers for our school! 20. Honors are piling on the High School. The Central Massachusetts Interschol- astic Press Association awarded two banners to the Red and Gray, for best headings and general excellence. 21. A call for pennies came today! They went for a good cause— the Grand Army veterans will have flowers again. 22. Mr. Butler has been dashing about madly in search of a camera with a strap. Someone was heard to wonder how many pounds he lost. 23. Senior assembly- — one of the best of the year. The popular song quartet, com- posed of Dot, Gertie, Tommy, and George, sang several of the later song hits. Bunny O'Connor is chairman of the Senior Prom Committee. It ought to be a success ! 24. Seniors begin to practice graduation sOngs. Sounds pretty nifty, but, oh, so sad! Pickles presented. It certainly was the relish of the season. 27. Such groaning! Someone said that we would have to come back the day after Memorial Day. 'Twasn't true, though. 29. Memorial Day Assembly'. But why talk of the heat and of swimming? The girls walked off with the debating cup. That proves they are the better talkers. Anna Heikkinen won first prize for the girls; Edward Sullivan, for the boys in the Prize Speaking Contest. 30. Holiday — Everyone went to Whalom! 31. Ditto! Seemed too good to be true! Must end my diary now, altho there will be so much to write about — Junior- Senior reception, the relay, graduation, the Prom — everything. So long, class- mates, and the best o' luck to you all! [84] We know you like good snappy jokes We did the best we could. If one's on you, just laugh it off And say, Now, isn't that good? A Bit of Repartee Scene — Lunch Room. ' Time — Between gulps. Bunny O'Connor: Oh, Murray, what have you been doing lately? Murray Brown: What I'm doing now. B. O.: Yes, but I mean what are you going out for? M. B.: A walk, right now. B. O.: Murray, are you trying to make a fool out of me? M. B.: I don't ever try to improve on nature. B. O.: Well! I'm not in the habit of talking to idiots. M. B.: I'm not either, but I'll make an exception in your case. B. O.: I hear you are going south this year. What are your plans? M. B.: I'm going to open a beauty parlor in Virginia. B. O.: Can I go with you? M. B.: No, I'm taking two good-looking fellows along to help me advertise. Richardson and Kenyon are the lucky ones.'- B. O.: Don't you think that Haulman is good looking? M. B.: Is he? I wonder where he is hiding it? B. O.: Will you lift faces? M. B.: No, pocketbooks. B. O.: Why don't you open a shop at F. H. S.? M. B.: Well, 95% of the people here think they're too good looking for treat- ments. B. O.: Who are the other 5% ? M. B.: They're the guys like Teddy Russo and Tom Dailey who have their mothers wave their hair. B. O.: Well, I wish you good luck. M. B.: I don't need it. All the ladies will make a rush to have our charming Mr. Kenyon slap their double chins off. B. O.: Do you think he is capable? M. B.: Oh, yes. He used to be a garageman. He can do anything.

A paper for old and young. WARD ELECTED PRESIDENT HOKUM PARTY SWEEPS THE SCHOOL WINS OVERWHELMING VICTORY OVER BRACK Hokum Party Sweeps the School Seated quietly in his pala- tial home on Linden Street, surrounded by his family and a few of his closest friends, Bernard Ward last evening listened to the re- ports of his party's sweeping victory as they came in over his crystal set. First to re- port was the Lunch Counter casting its three electoral votes solidly for Ward. This was ex- pected by Mr. Leo Caplan, campaign manager, because of Mr Ward's long affiliation with the food industry at Drury's upper store. As the votes piled up indicating one of the greatest vic- tories in the Hokum Party's history, Mr. Caplan 's face was wreathed in smiles while Miss Konstance Kreimer, manager of the women's committee, was openly jubilant. It is rumored that Miss Kreimer will be offered the post of Secretary of the Interior in President Ward's cabinet. Her special charge will be to see that better meals are served at the Lunch Room. Brack Admits Defeat Candidate Brack of the Anti-Hokum Party early in the evening left his home and after an unhurried meal at Luke's Diner proceeded to the Boy Scout Headquarters to await the re- turns. Mr. Brack looked wearied and showed the effects of his campaign tours in South Fitchburg, Cleghorn, and Saima Farm. The weariness of their leader was communicated to his followers and there was little enthu- siasm in the big room. The silence was broken only by the ring of the telephone bell announcing that another nail had been driven into the candi- date's political coffin. At midnight the Red and Gray was on the street announcing the election of Ward and at 12.30 Mr. Brack sent the following telegram to his successful rival: I congratulate you on your victory. I admit I was wrong. I did not believe that the American people were so fond of their hokum. Plans Southern Trip This morning President-elect Ward stated that he planned to make a good-will tour of Shirley and West- minster. He will start at once, leaving THE HOKUM PLATFORM Following are the principle planks of the party platform. Some were brought in slightly warped, but were hammered into shape by the following committee: John Randall, Gertrude Salny, Dora Seacrist, Bunny O'Con- nor, and Effie Longsjo. Immigralion — We favor the present quota for Shirley and Westminster. Prohibition — We favor a stricter enforcement of the prohibition of weak chocolate milk at the lunch counter. Tax Reduction — We believe the price for tickets to the Senior Play should be reduced for all seniors. Secondly, we protest against the uncalled for rise in the price of salads at the lunch counter. They are no better than they used to be. Labor — It is our firm belief that the teachers are working too hard and we are in favor, therefore, of shorter lessons. Foreign Policy — We favor the establishment of an international court to adjudicate all disputes arising between Cleghorn and West Fitchburg. Townsend Harbor on the famous yacht Old Ironsidfes. He will be ac- companied by Mr. Sullivan's pet poodle. Laddie. While on his tour, Mr. Ward will deliver several speeches which are now being composed by his secretary, Garth Huxtable, formerly star salesman at Pierce's Shoe Empo- rium. It has not been decided whether Mrs. Ward (nee Mary Chisholm) will go south with her husband or stay and keep the home fires burning. Loss of Women's Votes Defeated Me Mr. Brack, when interviewed this morning, was feeling rather cut up. In fact, he said, his razor had slipped. When asked to what he attributed his stunning defeat, he replied, The women did it. The Girls' Debating Club vote went to my opponent. Mr. Brack continued, thrusting a stick of Oh! Boy into his cheek, I was also the victim of a whispering campaign that I am a woman-hater. Thomas Dailey, Mr. Brack's cam- paign manager, who resigned his posi- tion as mechanic's helper at Fitzsim- mons' garage, said his plans for the future, like a balloon tire, were up in the air. Statement of Miss Kreimer, the Committeewoman from the South Side Miss Kreimer, in a statement issued today, said, ! attribute this great vic- tory to the loyalty of the girls of the High School to one who has so nobly set forth such high ideals of womanhood in his speeches before the Boys' De- bating Club. Cabinet Possibilities President-elect Ward, when ques- tioned about his cabinet, had nothing to say. The rumor is going around the bridge tables, however, that Mr. Caplan, the manager of the campaign, will be made Secretar ' of Commerce, because of his well-known business (Continued on Page 2) How I Retain my Beauty Witli my own Creams and Cosmetics Room 25 K. Thompson THE SENIOR HILL TOP THE TEACHER'S EASY CHAIR The pedagogue has always been placed on a pedestal and held up as the possessor of all the qualities which a student should acquire. Indeed, the teacher (altho he, no doubt, is un- aware of this fact) has saved many a pupil the expense of purchasing a book on etiquette. Now in order to better the lot of this aid to social polish, each pupil should contribute toward the purchasing of easy chairs for the teachers. Imagine! No longer will the before- mentioned pedestal be a theory; no longer will it be a seat in the imagina- tion; but it will be solid, palpable, and practical. What can be more delightful, more colorful than an easy chair of some fascinating pattern and hue. With such an ornament of beauty in the room, the pupils will respond better; the teachers will be reju 'enated when they relax their tired bones on the beautiful cushioned seat. Vou may breathe contentedly, hap- py readers, since th is dream may be realized by installing easy chairs in the classroom. Not only will this be an epoch making event, but as the home of the in entors of this ingenious plan, Fitchburg High School will be heralded and acclaimed as the apostle of comfort in the school- room. Contributions will be received by that apostle of gentility, George Haul- man. Have a Slender Figure Special Courses for Reducing Dr. William Hay, Room 25 PULCHRITUDE LACKING? Here, Girls, is a Problem It has been said by a connoisseur of beauty that there is little pulchritude among the ;irls in the Senior class. Is this true? To answer this question frankly, it is advisable that each girl of '29 study her reflection in her mirror. Then if she sees no astounding beauty staring at her, then it is her duty to bring out whatever good points she possesses. Further aid in this direction may be secured at Katherine Thompson's beauty parlor where she will adminis- ter her guaranteed beauty treatments. Every girl has a claim to some pul- chritude. This beauty may lie in pearly teeth, sapphire or dancing eyes, glorious hair, dazzling dimples, fas- cinating smile, perfect complexions, or a lovely form. One visit at Thompson's Beautician Parlor will make a Miss America of any Senior girl. — Adv. (Continued from Page 1) ability. The postmaster-generalship is slated for Murray Brown who had charge of broadcasting activities du- ring the campaign and proved to be one of the best and loudest broad- casters in the Fitchburg High School. Demands Recount Mr. Brack filed a petition for a re- count of the ote of Room 5 stating that he received all the votes cast, but believes the tellers must have overlooked those for his opponent.

ON S'EN VA POUR VOIR LE MONDE A number of Fitchburg society buds with male escort chaperoned by Miss Fuller and Mr. Hubbard tripped it to Boston, Saturday, March ninth. Arriving at the Hub of the I'niverse, the omnibus was parked in a vacant lot near the palatial Motor Mart. Thence the party decorously betook themselves to the charming Spanish atmosphere of the Seville where they daintily devoured a most carefully se- lected luncheon. This exotic restau- rant with its mellow candle lights and curious window panes producing an effect of drizzling rain gave a most satisfying sensation of beauty. The harmony here of room and service was fascinating. The waitresses were at- tired tastefully in native costumes of black and orange. The hostess, too, looked very attractive in her dress of virginal white with a contrasting black lace mantilla caught back by a red rose that covered her comely head. To complete the picture. Miss Fuller was presented with an exquisite bou- quet of violets and Mr. Hubbard a boutonniere of a hot house rose bud. This ceremony performed, the party, the female portion thereof dressed in creations made by the outstanding modistes of Fitchburg, wended its way to the Majestic Theatre where subtle Russian and French talent were perfection personified in the Chauve Souris. After having enjoyed a lovely per- formance everybody purchased a bou- quet of sweet peas to carry home as a memento of the sweetness of the day. Laden with flowers these noted resi- dents of Fitchburg honored Mallows with their presence. Here ice cream sodas were feverishly imbibed. Here, too, woe and agony descended upon the party because it was percei ed that two of the girls were missing. No wonder fear ruled when in the mind's eye these young women were seen struggling through the maddening throngs of Boston. Master Green- wood quickly took up the trail and soon tracked down the wanderers. With their sweet tooth appeased the party recon ened at the Motor Mart and immediately set forth for home.
