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 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 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]
