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.

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]

That and her neat appearance at all times make up for her diminu- tive size. She is a shy, modest, and quiet girl, but who can resist her sweet smile? She has the ability to fit into any environment in which she may find herself. Her calm serenity hides a fun-loving heart, and she is always ready to appreciate a joke. Dolores Rita Nole Her good humor is a fountain never dry. Dot belies that old saying that quantity lacks quality as she can prove to you after a short acquaintance. Dot is an able supporter of the Fitchburg High School, and is one of our students who believes in studying, as can easily be seen by the number of books she carries home. Good nature is Dot's weakness. Joseph John Norton For he is a jolly good fellow. We have not yet been able to discover how Joe manages to get his homework done, for when he is not in school, he is usually in his Buick. He has a fondness for riding up and down Main Street.
