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]

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 '2Q book Jean Frances Louney Her good humnr is a fountain never dry. Lately Jean has developed a fondness for bunnies. Jean is musically inclined and has often entertained us at our club meetings with -ocal solos. We hear that she also entertained West Fitchbnrg at their minstrel show. It seems that Jean must tune in on the radio from one end of the day to the other for she never seems to miss a program. Glee Club (2-4), Dramatic Club (2-4), French Club (4). Elsie Louise Lowe Talent and wit, an excellent combination. Oh! how we envy Elsie's rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. Tennis and basket-ball are her favorite sports. Elsie is a very loyal member of the Girl Scouts and may be seen tossing the drumsticks around quite cleverly. El was chairman of the Class Book Art Committee. Elsie keeps her slender figure by the long hikes she has each day to and from school. She tells us the country air gives her her rosy cheeks. Ukulele Club (1), Operetta (1), Basket-ball (1-2-.S), Tennis (2), Dramatic Club (2-4), Glee Club (4), Palette Club (4), Class Book Committee, Class Play. John Ellstrom Lundkvist Whose worth's wiknoivn, altho his height be taken. Lunky and Bob Greenwood are close rivals for the tallest boy in the class with Lunky slightly ahead. John showed his athletic ability as a member of the relay and basket- ball teams. His chief worry isn't women but the fact that he might receive all A's at the end of June. Lunky will never forget that day some unknown person set off a fire- cracker in gym class. His main outside interest is running the Johnsonia Building. We wish the University of Maine luck when it gains John as a loyal member in its ranks. Relay team (3). Aune Sylvia Lystila Her voice is ever soft, gentle, and low, An excellent thing in woman. Usually those quietest in school are the liveliest among their friends, and this is true of Aune. Aune and her chum Ellen are inseparable and the little green hearts, dangling from their sides, are their symbol of true friendship. Buddy Rogers, Clara Bow, and the rest of the silver screen stars have certainly received their share of support from Aune. In her Freshman year, the lights often burned far into the night while she read a ferocious cowboy or Indian storv. Glee Club (1), Spanish Club (.3), Dramatic Club (4), Marshal. Samuel Anthony Maffeo Yoti despise books. Sammy is always full of wit. Nothing seems to down- hearten him. A little thing like not taking a physics test doesn't make him feel badly. Sammy likes to play pranks. He insists that he never has to do his homework. In spite of all his faults he is a good boy. Sammy may be identified by his leather jacket. 135]
