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. Red and Gray Board (3-4), Glee Club (2), Marshal. [28]

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. Basket-ball (2-3-4), Hockey (2-3-4), Track (2-3-4), Volley Ball (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Debating Club (4), Marshal, Tennis. 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. Junior Class Dance Committee, Red and Gray Dance Committee (3), Red and Gray Board (3-4), Class Book. Robert Wilson Huxtable A kinder gentleman treads not the earth. 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 Nathan IIo Johnson Born for success he seemed. Here's a boy that never opens his mouth and says some- thing which he regrets afterwards. One hears him speak about as often as one sees the eclipse of the sun. In spite of this, however, he gets along finely in all his studies. We're not sure how he does it, but we think that it is be- cause of his personality. Thomas Johnston A vein of mirth beneath his air of dignity. Tom can be serious at the right time, but he never misses a chance to have some fun. He has a good disposition which has won many friends for him both in and out of school. He is an earnest student and succeeds in getting on the honor lists quite often. Though he likes his studies, he believes that sports should not be entirely forgotten. His favorite occupation is playing football with Herb and the gang. Lura Agnes Judd A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial coaxing ivay she had. If you ever need any help, go to Lura, for she is always willing to help a body in distress. She is a cheerful soul and is always in good humor. She has a hearty smile and a cheery greeting for everyone. As marshal on the first floor, she keeps the marching brigade in single lines and the whispering tongues quiet. I ura intends to go into training after she leaves this worthy institution.

Mary Jurga Never idle a moment, but thrifty and thoughtful of others. We have Mary with us only every other week. The odd weeks she lends her services to the Safety Fund Na- tional Bank where she shows herself a very good business woman. Mary has a long ride every morning from Shir- ley. She is a very good student in Civics and can answer any question Miss Smith asks her regarding Shirley politics. Field Day Decoration Committee, Marshal. Peter Kandianis On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined. Pete takes advantage of all the enjoyments the school offers. Pete is very active in West Street politics espec- ially when the banana interests are at stake. He claims he doesn't like the fair sex, but his actions belie his words. Pete would have been much happier if he had only been a little older and could have settled the (iresitlcntial elec- tion last year. Noted for his mean drag in 2,? his junior year.
