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 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 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.

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.
