class '29 book Anne Elizabeth Nichols Naught a word spake she more than was needy Ann has a personality pleasingly different. 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.

All fooling aside, Joe is an earn- est student, and we hope he will do as well out of school as he has done in it. Baseball (2). Einard Nyyssonen know it is a sin For me to sit and grin.

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.
