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 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 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]
