class '29 book Walfrid Andrew Makela It's a great plague not to be tall. Words are only in the dictionary as far as Mac is con- cerned, for he believes that deeds speak louder than words.

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.

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.

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]

Stubby entered Fitchburg High with a broad cheery smile which has remained in spite of the wear and tear of the past four years. She is another of the versatile girl athletes of the class and surely deserves mention when we recall her work on the basket-ball floor and on the hockey field.

Papken Melkisethian Diligence is the greatest of virtues. Papken is a quiet kind of chap. He doesn't allow many things to divert his attention from the task at hand. This, of course, means he is a fair scholar in the average. With a little development he should become a runner, for he is better in that than in any other form of sport.
