class '29 book Lillian Irene Leblanc Be not simply good; be good for something. This is Lillian's motto in all her gym work, in which she excels. She has carried away several honors for the Turner Girls' g 'm class of which she is a member. Lillian is also a faithful supporter of the Red and Gray. She does not seem to pav very much attention to the opposite sex. French Club (2), Hockey (3), Volley Ball (3), Track (4), Tennis (4), Basket-ball (4), Marshal. Bertha Anna Leger think, therefore I am. Bertha is rather quiet, but is a jolly friend when one gets to know her. Her interests seem to be centered outside of school. She is just a good sort who studies, and yet we doubt whether her studies ever worry her. Bertha is a lover of bookkeeping, in fact, she took a special course in night school. We wonder when Bertha will get her fill of it. She works ev-ery other week at the high school bank, and at noon selling lunch tickets to the hungry mob which at times almost rushes her off her feet. Lloyd Richard Lemay Stick as I am, all true lovers are. Pete is another of our out-standing athletes. However, he has other talents, for we hear he's quite a singer in the locker room. We all wonder, too, why he takes sessions when he doesn't have to. Perhaps it's to do his home work, but we hear differently. Lloyd is one of the popular boys of the school, and when there's a good time he's al- ways there. His favorite study is Spanish, and he's one of Mr. Dufour's bright lights. Noted for his good nature. Football (3-4). Helen Mary Lennon Ever loyal, ever true. To the toil and task she has to do. To Helen is given the privilege of getting high marks — some one has to. In her work she is always neat and care- ful; and when she decides a thing can be done, well, look out, for Helen will do it. She proved that in shorthand and civics. Helen chums around with Jane who brightens up her gloomy days with her humorous sayings. Helen's ambition is to become a school ma'am, and by the looks of things she is well on her way. French Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (4). Elena Leppala Carefree as the wind am I. Nothing ever worries Lena, and she takes things just as they come along. Studies never bother her, and her work is sure to be done at the last minute, perhaps aided by a more studious friend. She is a graceful skater, and many a win- ter's moonlight evening she may be seen skimming over the glassy surface of Coggshall Park. She is an enthu- siastic rooter at all the athletic contests and often her voice can be heard above the rest when a good play is made. Basket-ball (1-2), Track (2), Glee Club (2). [33J

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. Debating Club (2), French Club (2-3), Glee Club (3-4), Relay Team (3), Track (3). (32]

class '29 book Edwin William Leupold c :s a man of silence and of sense. Eddie is a very quiet person, but as the old saying goes, Still waters run deep. It seems that he is always busy at one thing or another, but his diligence is rewarded by his high marks. We are sure that Eddie will make a place for himself in this world if he keeps up the splendid work he has been doing. Relay Team (3), Marshal. Herman Irving Levin Good nature and good sense are usually companions. Herman likes an easy, quiet, poetic life. He's happiest when he is producing sweet strains from his violin, both for his own amusement and for the benefit of the school orchestra. The same qualities enable him to harmonize mathematical problems as attested by his success in Mr. Howe's classes. He wins many friends by filling his car with co-eds for the out-of-town athletic games. Orchestra (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (4), Relay Team. Anna Cecelia Lombard Let people laugh as long as I am warm. Merry, witty, and ready for a good time. She enjoys basket-ball games and other sports. Jackson's is also her goal after a lively game. She is a member of the famous quartet noted for a taste for amusements of a similar kind. Operetta (2). Effie Wilhelmina Longsjo Just a little girl, dear and taking. Effie is one of the quiet girls of our class, but if we could get the fine marks that Effie does, we would be floating in air. For no one deserves them more than she. She takes things as they come without a grumble. Effie is always ready to greet her chums with a cheerful smile. Her readiness to give a helping hand to those who need it has added mliny friends to Effie's list. Ruth Elaine Longsjo Cheek or chin, knuckle or kyiee Where shall Ruth's dimple be? We suspect Ruth's mother of having placed thimbles in her cheeks when she vas a baby for she has an irresistable pair of dimples. Ruth thinks the best place for books is in school, yet she skips ofT with high honors each time. Never start an argument with her because she's bound to win it. She'll talk so long that you will be willing to say that black is white. To Ruth as editor-in-chief of the Class I5ook, we owe a great deal of gratitude for making it a success. We are sure she will never be an actress be- cause she dislikes making public appearances on the stage. Glee Club (2-3), Class Book Committee, Marshal. [34]
