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.

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.

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.

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.

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]
