class '29 book Konrad Waldemar Moisio see but cannot reach the height. Konnie was the track captain for 1928, but he sprained his knee and was forbidden to try to attain higher heights in the high-jump. At present he holds the record for the high-jump, fi e feet eleven and three-eighths inches. Kon- nie is going to try to make the track team in I 929. If his knee holds out he's as good as there already and we're all waiting for him to give us a new record. Track (2-3-4). Laurence Francis Morris ivas short when I was little, and I've been short ever since. Larry came to us in our Sophomore year from Dorches- ter. We have often wondered whether he spent his child- hood days on a ranch or near a livery stable. Swimming holds a good deal of attraction for Larry, and we have often seen him diving gracefully into the water at Whalom. Larry is a big help to his father, for we know that he often works in his dad's drug store. Football (3-4). Veikko Mortberg Progress is made by work alone. Here comes Wisko with his hard heels. He's one of the few who have given themselves up as an offering to the goddess of school work. He has worked hard for four years and been repaid by seeing his name on the honor roll. His regular attendance in school is a miracle, for he has been absent but one day in four years. He often enters his home room just as the last bell rings, as he has learned to judge his time to a second. But he is never late. Alice Lenore Mossey To music doth my soul aspire. Alice is fond of giving her friends the creeps by telling them ghost stories. She is interested, too, in winter sports, and she claims that sliding on a double-runner is her fav- orite. Alice comes of a musical family, for her elder sister used to play the piano in the orchestra and now Alice is in the string section. Basket-ball (1), Track (1-2), Orchestra (1-4). Beatrice Ann Mulcahy find the earth not gray, hut rosy. Bee is the girl with the beautiful eyes. .She is a very fine elocutionist and has delighted both the class and the dramatic club a great many times with readings, humorous and otherwise. .She is one of the gang of Agnes and Com- pany, with whom she utters many lusty yells at our ath- letic contests. Her participation in the .Senior Class play added to the list of entertainments in which she has taken part. We shall e.xpect to hear from her in the near future as an elocution teacher.

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. Band (2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4), Relay Team (3-4), Basket-ball (3-4), Track (4), Senior Musicale. Margaret Helen Miller Little folks should he seen, not heard. Peggy makes little commotion in school. She loves the winter season, for then she can skate to her heart's con- tent, and, when there is no skating, the movies are always interesting and enjoyable. 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.

class '29 book Louise Norwood Murdock High flights she had, and wit as well And so her tongue was never still. Louise is another merry-maker who helps to enh'ven the spirits of the bo -s and girls from Westminster. She can ne er keep her tongue still for very long, for there always seems to be something for her to babble about. The gayer side of life appeals to Louise; she indulges in sports and dancing with a great enthusiasm of a lover of good times. Louise gives a few hours of her day to her vocal lessons. She takes a great interest in this, and hopes to become a great singer some day. Florence Mary Murphy The mildest manners and the gentlest heart. A calm and sedate little person. She sa 's very little in school, and passes quietly through the corridors. She is a member of the Goodnow-Pearson Company's force, and makes a very efficient clerk. Flossie has two weaknesses, namely dances and boys. We hear that Flossie is a great stepper, and attends many dances. William Thomas Murphy Silence has many advantages. Juny has been so quiet and unobtrusive throughout High School we hardly knew he was with us until last fall on the gridiron — then we sat up and took notice — for he was a clever, if not brawny, backfield man. He likes to skate at Coggshall on cold wintry evenings, too, and many a young damsel has cast a glance or two his way when his graceful figure has glided over the smooth surface. Girls never bother Bill, but he is a great favorite with the fellows, who like him for his quiet, unassuming manner. Football (2-3-4), Baseball (3), Relay Team (3-4). John Joseph Muscillo Good humor is the health of the soul. John is a quiet, smiling lad. To outward appearance, girls do not bother him much, but who knows what the heart ITolds? He is faithful to his studies, as his report card shows. Romeo Raymond Myllymaa Brevity is the soul of wit. Romeo is a quiet boy in school He has a Chevy in which he comes to school sometimes — when it goes. His favorite sport is hockey, and when there is any ice he can be seen on Hospital Pond playing energetically. He also likes to play football, altho he didn't go out for the high school team, because he had to peddle papers. 140]
