class '29 book Stephanie Mary Matukas Happy am I, from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me? 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. Athletics are her joy, and if she is not a participant you may be sure that she is watching the boys in various contests. Tripping the light fantastic also a ppeals to Stubby and from all reports, she may be heard of in the future as the premiere danseuse in a Broadway musical review.

She is one of our versatile girl athletes and has participated in hockey, track, and basket-ball. .Studies never seem to bother her, she just takes things as they come along. But, as Mae might say, why bring that up? She never seems to be hurried or flustered over anything and never allows herself to be.

Jane Frances McMurray Some think the world is made for fun and frolic and so do I.' Jane comes to school chiefly to amuse her friends. With her witty remarks, she can change a sober face into a smiling countenance. She knows no worries or cares, but lives her life to enjoy its fun. Jane's main interest is in the Girl .Scouts. She is a lively member of the Bugle and Drum Corps. She plays the drums, which is just another way of expressing herself — noise! Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Glee Club (2-3-4). 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.

class '29 book Souren Melkisethian Not too serious, not too gay, A good felloiv in every ivay. A smile for everyone and everything seems to be Soiiren's motto. He is a hard-working, bashful boy and the fair sex means nothing to him. Souren is a good student and likes all his studies. He is so busy both in and out of school that he has little time for horseplay. After school he may usually be found in his father's store. Dramatic Club (4). Charles Frederick George Miller Be silent and safe — silence never betrays you. Charley is a quiet but pleasing sort of chap. He was the manager of our basket-ball team and filled the position well. We have always thought Charley was girl-shy, but since we heard that he was refereeing girls' basket-ball games, we have changed our minds. Charley is a member of the school band and orchestra. He is also running an orchestra of his own, in which he and his pal, Kaarlo, show their musical talent at its best.

Peggy and Alice are constant companions and are always found together up West. When her high school days are over, Margaret expects to become a member of the Fitchburg Normal School. Ruth Carolyn Moeckel Quiet and reserved is her manner. Ruth has dark shiny hair and brown glistening eyes which are a great attraction to the boys. She is one of Miss Peabody's third year German students and comes to class every day despairing or rejoicing over the fate of Karl Heinrich, one of her Cerman heroes. When Ruth isn't busy with school work, we often see her at a movie show with some handsome brute. Uuno Armas Moilanen Each mind has its own method. Uuno is one of the silent partners of our class. He has not had very much in common with the fair damsels; however, he is slowly overcoming some of his bashfulness. Uuno's greatest hobby is monkeying with an automobile engine. .Some day we will hear of him as a great automo- bile mechanic. Uuno does not spend all of his time with his automobile for occasionally he enjoys reading a good book.
