class '29 book Hazel Hough Here's a jolly person and there's no doubting that. Hazel is a happy-go-lucky member of the class. We've never seen Hazel angry in all the years that we've known her. You can always depend upon her to laugh with you when you feel in that mood. She is really interested in athletics and is one of the strongest supporters and heart- iest rooters for the teams. She is noted for her constancy to Marjorie. — Arline Ruth Houghton It's good to be merry and ivise. Hail to Arline, the girl athlete! She can swim, play basket-ball, hockey, run, and what not? The champion- ship of the Senior girls in basket-ball was largely due to Arline's clever shots. Besides being a perfect athlete, she was a very capable marshal. And as for boy friends? We often wonder how the postman can carry all the letters Arline receives daily from them. Nevertheless, she doesn't let them interfere with her studies, and her name has never failed to appear on the honor roll. In shouting, she can out-stentor the Greek Stentor himself, whose voice could be heard a mile.

William Stuart Houghton A man's character is known by his conversation. Bill, our friend of the twinkling brown eyes, who works in the public library, is always willing to help, should we need any assistance. During his Junior year, he and Bul- lock turned out to be regular night-hawks and made one memorable and e.xciting trip to Boston. He used to have a pal in his mischief, but since LaRoche left, Bill misses terribly the disputes and tussles they used to have. Bill is inclined to be happy-go-lucky in school and takes studies not too seriously as Miss Peabody says of his German. Leonard Garth Huxtable All men of ability are in great demand. Miss Merriam will always remember Garth as a bril- liant student of biology. He may not shine quite so much as one of our best students, but he works hard, never- theless. He is an artist, too, it seems, judging from the number of posters he has drawn to advertise different school affairs. In our minds we picture him as a future newsjiaper camera-man, for he has a large and varied col- lection of snapshots, some of which are beautifully tinted. His spare time is almost completely taken up for he works as a store clerk in the afternoons. He is a member of the DeMolay.

Rob was an industrial student, but due to the passing of that course he is now one of those who pick their sub- jects here and there. He plinks a mean banjo and enjoys radio music. But foremost of all his amusements is re- pairing cars. He lias a I'ord for which he paid the enor- mous sum of two dollars. It wouldn't run at first, but his persistence won, and now he sometimes drives to school in it. He works in a garage afternoons and .Saturdays to fill out the day. 127]

class '29 book Anna Harriette Heikkinen will do my best. Anna is a loyal member of '29 who always comes to class prep ared to recite the day's lessons. She has shown her musical ability by appearing at different assemblies and at the Senior Musicale. Anna is widely famed for her classroom giggle and her sociable smile. A tall gallant youth is Anna's ideal at present. Dramatic Club (3-4), Junior and Senior Reception Committee, Write-up Committee, Marshal, Class Play. Walter John Heinig Of , their own merits, modest men are quiet. Walter is a very quiet and unassuming youth, who is not really known to any save his own chums. We do not know what Walter does with his spare time, but judging by his marks he must spend quite a bit of that time in study. Though quiet, he is well liked and the better we know him the more we like him. Marshal, Relay Team (3). Herbert Emil Heins The world deals good-naturedly with good-natured people. Herb is a very quiet boy in school and is well liked. He attended most of the football games and was an enthusias- tic supporter of our baseball team. Last year he shook off the cobwebs and took a try at running in the relay and made good. Relay Team (3). Norman Louis Henault T'is jolly to be wise. Norman is often seen in a local gift shop, so we know he is a hard working man. Not that this applies also to his lessons in school, for Norman thinks school work should never interfere with other things. He was famous as a Junior for peculiar tricks in the Chemistry Lab. Norman is not- the type that is devoted to amorous adventures, but we shall see. Baseball Manager, Relay Team (3), Dramatic Club (3-4) Sylvia Catharine Hirvi Sylvia has such charming graces. Altho Sylvia bulks large to view, she has a small soft voice and s's bother her. She swings through the corri- dors on her way to her appointments like a grenadier on parade. She is an excellent typist, but likes variety, she says, and is, furthermore, that raritj' in the business world, a stenographer with brains. She is also good at manual labor as witness her fine work in shining up the piano for the Senior Musicale. Dramatic Club, Marshal. [26]

class '29 book Charles Michael lacoboni His little body lodg'd a mighty mind. Charlie is the Httle fellow whose sister in the class of '28 had those wonderful eyes. Charlie's right there as a pal. When you need a little help, ask Charlie. He hasn't the reputation of being a loud-speaker, altho he does some- times express his opinions. Even though we kid Charlie about his height, he can take a joke and return a snappy comeback. Dramatic Club (1), Class Play. Osmo Kalervo Jarvela A good fellow, loyal and true. Red's nickname will last forever unless he decides to dye his hair. He has upheld the honor of our class in athletics by shining in basket-ball and football as well as in track. He always has a smile for everyone, and we know his auburn locks have been the cause of fluttering hearts in many a fair damsel. Football (4), Track (3). Alison Elizabeth Johnson We think too little, who talk too much. Evidently Alison believes the above saying to be true, for she is very quiet. Silence is golden is another of Alison's maxims. Her smile makes up for the lack of vo- cal expression. Alison chums with Pegg ' Parkhurst. Delia Gertrude Johnson She who says little, has little to answer for. Delia is one of the smaller members of our class, who doesn't say much in school. Delia likes bookkeeping, so after she graduates she will be able to keep some business man's books in good condition. Delia and Tyyne cer- tainly can have fun when they are together. Noted for her qniet ways. Helen Constance Johnson Quiet she was, forsooth, not vain If friends be credit, she has much gain. How Helen manages to get to school in time on cold winter mornings is a puzzle, for she comes from the far end of Pearl Street. Helen is numbered among our Com- mercial students. Books must hold some attraction for she can always be relied upon to have her lessons done. When she is not doing her lessons, she is conducting the business of the Alumni Department of the Red and Gray of which she is chairman. Helen's best winter sport is skating at Page's pond.
