class '29 book Sulo Vernon Kontunen Lei us do or die. Sulo is a boy who sticks up for his rights, altho to get them he sometimes has to express his opinions rather strongly. He was a very active member of the class for he was business manager of the Red and Gray Board. VV'hen Lecture Room didn't respond to the call for sub- scribers to the Christmas issue of the Red and Gray, Sulo roused their spirit by putting a flaming sign on their blackboard. Assistant Business Manager Red and Gray (3), Circu- lation Manager Red and Gray (4), Marshal. Mary Fotine Kopsiaftis am no orator as Brutus was, I only talk right on. Mary quiet is a sight seldom seen, for she is usually chattering away for dear life. If the proverb be true that a woman's tongue is her weapon, Mary is well armed and can defend herself at all times. Mary does her duty to her teachers by taking her books home faithfully every day, but we do think that sometimes she forgets to open them. Ruth Vellamo Koutonen Beyond expression fair, With thy floating flaxon hair, Thy rose lips and hazel eyes. Ruth is another high honor student of our class. She is pretty, witty, and wise, and above all a wonderful dancer. The demure look in her eyes caused one of the red headed basket-ball players to break rules, but of course it was nothing serious. Miss Collins takes great interest in Ruth because she is so talented as an acrobat. Volley Ball (1-2-3), Hockey (1), Dramatic Club (1), Basket-ball (1), French Club (4). Constance Gretchen Kreimer Her words are trusty heralds of her mind. We have so much to say about Connie, and so many compliments to bestow that we really don't know where to begin. She has been interested in a great many school activities, but these numerous affairs have not interfered at all with her scholastic record. She was always on the special honor roll. She surely shone when it came to a Latin translation or a Math example. The way she has handled the Red and Gray this year is, indeed, a great ac- complishment. Glee Club (2-4), School Council (2), Dramatic Club (3-4), Secretary French Club (4), Debating Club (4), Editor Red and Gray (4), Marshal. Aulis Sanelma Kurki What are eyes for, if not to flirt with. .At first glance, Aulis seems to be a quiet and sedate miss, but her brown eyes brim with mischief. She enjo s dancing and thinks it far more advantageous to spend her time learning the latest step than to study her lessons. Despite this fact Aulis manages to get good marks. Aulis is an ardent skater and in the winter evenings can be found waltzing about on Mirror Lake. Noted for the smart way in which she dresses.

class '29 book Lawrence Stuart Kenyon And said, What a good boy am I? Stuart is there when it comes to playing the violin. He was a successful drum-major and took great pride in lead- ing the band about Crocker Field at the football games last fall. A sheik of the latest pattern, he is very sociable and attends most of the high school dances. We expect that one daj- Stuart will be a manufacturer of automobiles as he knows all about cars from his afternoon employment at Fitzsimmons' garage. Glee Club (1), French Club (1-2), Dramatic Club (1-2-3), Band (l-2-,3), Orchestra (1-2-3), Class Play. Philip Raymond Kielty Why think oj the future, when the present is so beautiful.' Phil surely leads a happy-go-lucky life. If we all could let cares fly as he does, what a wonderful world this would be! During Phil's high school career his face beamed more than once in 26. Vet there is something wonderful in him, for he always managed to pass; and what is more, we hear, that he is liked by the girls. Altho Phil is slow, we are sure he would win a race with Atalanta by some clever method. A bright future awaits a man who doesn't take life too seriously. Helvi Judith Kiuru say little, hut when time shall serve, there shall be smiles. Helvi is a very busy girl. After a morning at school, she spends the afternoon in Pollock's store. When Helvi is on the job, all the customers are sure to recei 'e prompt service. Helvi's favorite sport in winter is skating, and in summer, camping. Helvi and Sylvia spend many hours together. Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (3-4), Belle of Barcelona. Irja Karin Kivinen Continual cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom. Quietly, boys! Single file! We surely can never for- get that shrill business-like voice of Irja's while she served as marshal on the second floor. Irja manages to have plenty of good times outside of school. Her excellent marks in her studies show us that she doesn't let them in- terfere with her lessons, for her name has adorned the honor roll ever since her Freshman year. We hear that Irja has a friend in Amesbury. Irja's cordiality and industry make up for her lack of participation in school activities. Junior Class Party Committee, Marshal. Norman Wendell Klein Business before pleasure. Klein allows very few to get ahead of him in tennis or the mile run. Besides he is always ready for a good busi- ness deal, such as three lunch tickets for a dime. Even his Washington trip was a very profitable journey for since then, he has very often been accompanied by a fair damsel. We expect that some day he will be an impor- tant member of the Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce as he has already started as a checker in their coat room. He is entering N. H. U. this fall and we all know he will be successful. Track (3-4), Tennis (3-4). [30]

class '29 book Leo Illmari Lahti There is nothing lacking in his size. Leo is one of our tall, fair haired idols. In his Junior yejar, Leo was shy and quiet, but what has caused this lad to blossom out, we do not know, altho we can guess. He has not decided yet whether he will enter the movies and make a name for himself or whether he will remain here in his home town. Leo deserves credit for running in the relay our Junior year. Basket-ball (3), Relay Team (3). Raymond Ernest Lammers While there is life there's hope. You can't miss seeing Raymond in a crowd, for his red hair is so conspicuous. He does not seem to be attracted by anything especially, unless we except English. From yhat we have heard we deduce that he is ver ' fond of Eng- lish, or is it just the opposite? Glee Club (1), Dramatic Club (1), Orchestra (4). Elizabeth Mary Lamontagne With a smile that was childlike and bland. Beth is a little maid whose childlike smile seems to ex- press her quiet manner. She rarely speaks in school. If it's a question in French, ask Elizabeth, for she's sure to know the answer. An excellent French student, she speaks that language as fluently as English. Beth and Jeannette are close friends and are always seen together at school. French Club (3-4). Voitto Mathews Lassila He may be silent and not cast away His sentences in vain. Voitto may not be as loquacious in school as some peo- ple are, but it is merely because his mind is on his g 'mnastic work for he spends his e 'enings in the g 'mnasium as an instructor. When these duties are done, he begins his own work on the single and parallel bars. He has spent years ir; training, both inside and out-of-doors. Everyone knows that he has no rival when it comes to pole-vaulting. He was also captain of the bo3''s gym team which was be- gun this year. Track '2-3-4). Paul Armand Lavoie He must be known to be appreciated. Paul is an earnest student, who believes that school is a place for study and not for play. He is a shark in Civics as well as in Biology in which he particularly excels. He does not, however, confine his industr ' to school work only for when not engaged in doing homework, he is busy at the Fitchburg Sentinel.
