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 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 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.

Milton Bauman Thou art long and lean and lank. Milton is a rising member in the bread industry.
