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]

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.

Wallace Copeland Neal Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore. His position as manager of the Brownie showed his abil- ity in business, and summers spent with the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Company and the Co-operative Bank have added to it. Wallace, altho one of the young- est in the class, could be an honor pupil if he would. He has always been an ardent radio listener. After one year spent at a finishing school, he plans to enter Tech. Harry Bernard Nelson ''An all-around good fellow is the greatest honor among men. Harry is a student of many interests. He believes in mixing his pleasures and hobbies with school subjects, and doing all well. His favorite amusement is stealing away to some secret trout brook where the big ones lurk. Don't tell the Isaac Walton League, Harry, or they won't be there any more. Among our many school activities, he finds his chief interest in the physical training department. As a vocation he is to pursue a course at a Normal School of Physical Training in Indiana. We predict that this combination of brains (fish) and brawn (physical training) will produce a well balanced career. Waino Ilmari Nelson Cheerful company shortens the miles. Waino is a member from Rollstone Hill, where men are men and women do all the work. He is noticeable be- cause of his light blond hair, and he can also give a fair imitation of Lon Chaney's facial contortions. He is one of the industrial boys who no longer can work a week and loaf a week. It's all work now. Esther Gladys Newman A dancing shape, an image gay To haunt, to startle, and waylay. Pretty, little, sparkling-eyed Esther is one of the most popular girls among the o|)posite sex of our class. She is a cracker jack at dancing. At a .school dance, Esther can be found in the middle of a crowd of boys. The dance programs ought to be double in length for Esther. Basket- ball is Esther's favorite sport.
