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]

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 Anthony Joseph Guerra Music hath charms! What the band would do without Anthony we cannot say, for he has faithfully tooted his clarinet during his high school course. Anthony cannot decide whether to leave Fitchburg and take his place with other famous mu- sicians or stay here and teach the future generation the mysterious art of bringing forth music from a long pipe. Band (] -2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4). John Victor Hakkaraine When I sleep, I dream of baseball. Johnny is one of our baseball enthusiasts. He played on the school team, and during the summer had a team of his own. We will probably hear one of these days that Johnny has taken Babe Ruth's place. He thinks books belonging to the school belong in school, therefore, he does not care to take them home. Girls do not worry Johnny the least bit. Baseball (3). Howard Alfred Hamel Disturb not that which is quiet. Howard is a good sport in every way. A good student, he is always willing to help the poor one who can't get his lesson done. Altho he has not taken part in any of our high-school games, he plays a good game as center for St. Joseph's Ciuards. This combined with his sense of humor and shy manner have made many friends for him at F. H. S. George Martin Haulman, Jr, Molasses sweet, but oh! so slow. Here he is — our George. He's the most ambitious and hardest worker in '29 — when it comes to drawing cartoons. He is a favorite with all the girls, but partial to none. As a dancer and actor, he can't be beaten. It is pitiful that (ieorge has chosen Math for his future profession when he has shown such genius in selling neckties! His daily school record as shown by his unbroken string of honor marks is to be envied. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), French Club (2-3-4), Glee Club (4), Debating Club (3), Marshal, Class Play. William Hay, Junior His strength is unequaled. Bill is another of our gridiron warriors. If you don't believe us, ask a few of his opponents. Bill was not only a good player himself, but was a fighter for the team. As a lunch counter marshal he is unequaled. If a boy moves out of line. Bill picks him up with ease anfl sets him in his place. Furthermore we hear Bill goes touring nights, but we can't seem to identify the owner of the car. Football (3-4), Track (3-4), Marshal. 1251
