He substantiated this trust by his sincere and hearty efforts to lead his class to the heights. A worthy career in football and several entries into the Thespian field, top his list of attainments. His contagious grin and crisp word of greeting have caused many a heart to tingle. A worthv leader of a worthy class! Councillor (2'), Class President, Football, Marshal (3-4). Dramatic Club (3), Class Play, Council (4). Doris Edna Pender Thy spirit, independence, let me share Doris is one of our modern maidens, spirited, clever, and gay. Her great popularity is due to her interest in all our school activities, starting with being our vice-president, to leading us in peppy cheers. Her willingness to attempt any- thing and readiness to assume responsibilities will help her to gain her goal in Smith College. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Chairman Ring Committee, Chair- man Junior Class Party, Red and Gray Board, French Club (3), Cheer Leader, Vice-President Senior Class, Marshal (3-4), Editor Red and Gray, Debating Club, Senior Class Play (4). Dorothy Russell Geiger laugh, for hope hath happy place with me Dot was elected Secretary in her Senior year, and has filled this important position very well. Her pleasant, jolly ways have won her the friendship of her classmates. And what compliments her stylish hair-cut has received! It is Dot's ambition to become a schoolma'am. Track, Basket Ball (2), Red and Gray Board (3-4), Class Secretary, Marshal (4). Stephen Tenney Woodbury By his work you may know him Steve rather grows on you. Although quiet and fond of • his studies, Steve's a regular fellow and is always ready to try his best. He likes gym work and track. As head marshal, he combines tact with vigilance in this important post. Steve doesn't care much for the social duties of a class officer, but he enjoys tackling the problems of the class treasury, and this year beat all records for the prompt collecting of the class dues. Band (2-3-4), Junior Senior Reception, Track, Relay Team (3), Class Treasurer, Class Party Committee (3-4), Marshal, Class Play (4). Sally Ingaborg Aalto It's good to be honest and true Sally was a loyal supporter of all our school games. She is very keen about skating and therefore spent most of her spare moments in winter at Hospital Pond. Sally plans to enter the Fitchburg Normal School. Hockey (2-3), Glee Club (4). Toivo Reinhold Aalto Toil, says the proverb, is the sire of fame Toi was a marshal and a popular one. A nut for gym work, he belonged to the High School gym team, the Finnish . . C. team, and the class relay team. Toi is a quiet-mannered chap with a million-dollar grin. He isn't much of a booster for social activities, as he is entirely a man's man. One of the best students in the school, Toi has carried two extra studies his Junior and Senior years! He is bound for the General Electric school. Junior Relay Team (3), French Club (3-4), Class Book Committee (4). Leonard Fred Adler As merry as a cricket Leonard could be very good in his studies if he wished, but he is satisfied with just being good. He is quite versa- tile, and can inform you about airplane motors as well as about fishing and hunting. He leads an outdoor life, and plays baseball and tennis with other novices. As we know, he' likes fishing, and believe it or not, has caught fish nearly his own size. George Edmund Aho Fine thoughts are wealth George always does well in his studies, and his name has frequently appeared on the honor roll. He is also a sport devotee, with gym work his specialty. As a star performer on the High School gym team, for two years he has graced the parallel bars for Mr. Adler. George hopes to continue his educational work in a higher institution of learning. High School gym team (2-4). Edna Viola Alander As merry as the day is long Who is the girl with the contagious smile? Why that's Eddie Alander. Her name ought to be Smiles. Eddie knows all the latest songs, which we aften hear her humming happily around school. It doesn't sound half bad, either. Eddie is an ardent sports-lover, and is often seen at Coggshall Park. Basket Ball, Volley Ball, Track (2), Dramatic Club, French Club (4). John Flood Allaire A fellow of mark and likelihood John has the distinction of being the tallest boy in our class and possibly in the whole school. Besides being a stal- wart tackle on our football squad, John also had his share in running the school as a room councillor for the last three years. Track (2), Basket Ball (2-3), Councillor, Football (2-3-4), Ring Committee (3). 19 J Beatrice Ida Allen A smile that glovj'd vjith friendship This is our Ray, jolly, and happy-go-lucky Beatrice, whose winninc smile is always ready. Swimming and skating hold a great interest for Beatrice, but football games take the prize. Of course Mary's Ford and the movies cannot be forgotten. Every other week she did her best to supply Miss Miner's typewriting pupils with the necessary amount of yellow l)apcr. Bee is a good athlete, a fine sport, and a staunch friend. Marshal (4). Frances Robbins Allen The lark, that tirra — lirra chants F'rances is our Madame Padcrewski. who at almost every assembly delighted her audience with her skillful playing. This hobby she pursued even so far as to give piano lessons and lead a diminutive band. Frances is a happy soul and drifts blithely and unworried from class to class. An active participant in our school life and a delightful companion. Track, Open Meeting {?•). Orchestra, Dramatic Club, French Club (3-4), Glee Club, Writer of Class Song, Class Play, Writer of Class March (4). James Anastos have no relish for land Jimmic has a great enthusiasm for airplanes and radios. We seldom saw him in school without a radio catalogue or an airplane magazine; furthermore, he is planning to enter the Curtis Flying School. He is also the champion soda jerker in school and we have often seen him at work at his father's soda fountain, where no one complains of the service while he is on the job. Kiki Anastos Silence is golden Kiki's big brown eyes and quiet, pleasant manner are, wc think, her chief charms. Certainly they must be an asset in her father's store where she spends much of her spare time. Kiki's joys are tennis and swimming. Business College or office work figure in her plans so Kiki's time is pretty well mapped out for the future. Ethel Elli Anderson Her stature lull — her manner dignified Ethel is preparing to enter some business college and toward this end she works so diligently that she does not have time for school activities. She docs, however, like sports, of which swimming and can oeing are her favorites. This girl's greatest enemy in life seems to be a shiny nose and against this foe she bravely tilts with a powder puff. Ruth Esther Anderson Rut now my task is smoothly done, I can fly, or I can run Ruth is one of those girls you just can't help liking. A faithful and conscientious worker in everything. Ruth's ambi- tion is to become the secretary of the School of the Spoken Word, where she worked afternoons. She also worked at the Normal School every other week. Noted for her big blue eyes. L 10 J Ruth Winnifred Anderson Pleasure has been the business of my life Ruth may be small, but she certainly makes up for it in other ways. She enjoys dances and parties. During her spare time she sold candy at Chamberlain-Huntress. We hear she like; to read, but she won't tell us what. Is it book reports? Dramatic Club (4). Robert Carl Anderson A man of hope and forward-looking mind Andy is one of our good-natured, easy-going fellows. He hasn't a care in the world, yet he got along fairly well in his studies. His hobbies are fishing and tennis, which he has just taken up. Andy helps at his father's garage, and much to our envy, we often see him driving around in new Hup- mobiles. Senior Class Play (4). Evelyn May Angevine Do well and right, and let the world sink Evelyn, after her graduation, plans to work in an office. Surely with the knowledge she has gained here, her pleasing ways and her serious look — especially with her glasses on — she ought to be successful. But Evelyn is not always so seri- ous. She enjoys a good time too and is a devotee of swim- ming as well as skating. Glee Club (3), Marshal (3-4). Frances Pauline Antonelli She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought One of the girls on the quiet list. She is a demure young lady with raven locks and big black eyes. Although Frances did not share in our school activities, she did give her loyal support on all necessary occasions. Frances's willingness, loving disposition, and ready, flashing smile make us believe that some day she will make an excellent teacher. Theresa Elizabeth Ashe My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in all the world Terry knew her lessons at all times, but how she got them no one knows. She worked for Miss Dunn every other week and also worked afternoons. Terry is always ready when it comes to good times. She was a star supporter of the school bank. Noted for her sweet disposition. Operetta, Glee Club (3). Aili Ilona Barglund Her voice was ever soft and gentle Aili's sweet disposition, her unruffled calm, and her scholas- tic ability have set an example of perfection for her class- mates. One could say much about her various talents which she is too modest even to mention. We trust that her ship will sail none but the bluest, sunniest, and calmest of seas. [11 ] Doris Mary Beaulac love music and how I sing! We wonder how Doris managed to get to school as earlv as she did for she lives in South Fitchbure. When it comes to a skating and skiing party, Doris will surely be along. She plans to go to Burdett College. Dramatic Club (2), Glee Club, Operetta (3). Ruth Freeman Benere She has in mind such stores as silent thought can bring Ruth is quieter than her sister. Winter holds no fears for her because all her favorite outdoor sports come in that sea- son. Last year she toted the drum in the Girl Scouts' Bugle Corps, but now she has been graduated from that position. French Club (3), Glee Club, Dramatic Club (4). Harold Herman Berg A very great part of the mischiefs that vex the world arise from words The fact that Harold is not a physical giant doesn't prevent his being interested in sports. In the spring he takes his glove and repairs to the baseball diamond, that is when he isn't looking at a track meet. Harold got good marks and let it go at that. He didn't burden himself with extra activities. James John Bicoules Not too serious, not too gay, A good fellow in every way Jimmie certainly isn't loquacious, but he must be a pretty good fellow — witness the laughs he has with the boys. We know he likes sports for when not working he seems to get much enjoyment from basket ball, baseball, and particularly skating. Jimmie gives the fair sex at school the cold shoulder so we wonder if this dancing that he speaks of is all solo work. Jim expects to enter the General Electric School at Lvnn. Baseball, Inter-Class League (2), Basket Ball (2-4), Boys' D ebating Club, French Club (4). Gertrude Hannah Bills Smile and the world smiles with you Who ever saw Gcrt not in a hurr -, or without her cheery smile? Gert worked Saturdays in McLellan's and though |)rctty busy managed to take part in her favorite sports of swimming, dancing, and skating with a red-headed young man. Gert's plans for the future arc rather hazy — but with that smile, Gcrt, why worry? French Club (3). Alfred Stanley Bishop Good humor is the health of the soul .' lfred is quite popular among his schoolmates for he has a keen sense of humor which makes him so attractive. He was an ardent printer and every spare hour that he had, he was down in the printing room. He has been so successful in printing that he is now employed by a well-known print- ing house. .M is quite a runner, and upheld our colors in the annual relay last June Junior Relay (3). L 12] Frank Joseph Bodanza As short and dark as a midwinter's day Frank is a very busy individual. We have all seen him tooting his horn in the band, and completing the quota of violins in the orchestra. Outside of school he worlied at the Motor Mart. Then he is interested in all major sports, though he is too modest or too busy to come out for them at school. He expects to go to the Worcester Trade School. Orchestra (2-3), Band (2-3-4). Ethel May Bonnsdlie Slim as a wand is she Ethel is envied chiefly for two things — her slimness and her wealth of long hair. Perhaps skating and dancing account for the former — if so, we will all take them up. Whether to study music or become a nurse is a problem. Ethel hasn't per- formed for us musically, as yet, so we're not qualified to speak on that score, but we do know that she'd make a mighty pleasant nurse. Glee Club (3). John Adler Bosk Actions speak louder than words We like to watch Johnny lead an orchestra with two drum- sticks. In our mind he is the liveliest leader that we have ever seen. He played in a dance orchestra outside of school and pursued his hobby in school by playing in the orchestra and band. It might be said that there are two sides to him; quiet and lively. In a class room he is quiet; in an orchestra, contrariwise. Band (2-3-4), Orchestra (3-4), Dramatic Club (4). Jeanette Eva Boucher Silence brings friendship Jeanette, a quiet member of the Commercial division is Alice's side-kick — another case of me and my shadow. Though she came from West Fitchburg, she was never late for school. She worked in Grant's and is a good business woman. George Ernest Bowen was born to greater things George is one of the classiest basket ball players in the school besides being one of the best tennis players in the city. George could be seen at the local Y. M. C. A. afternoons playing ping-pong with his chum. Priscilla Anne Lawton Broome Her conversation more glad to us than money to a miser Priscilla never seems quiet, either in action or voice. But happily she sees life on its bright side; everything has for her its funny aspect, and her laugh is particularly contagious. Reading is her favorite indoor sport while out of doors you will find she is a very good friend to all dumb animals, chickens in particular. Would that more of us were as opti- mistic as Priscilla. Glee Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4). [13] Helen Bennett Brown In this world it is necessary that we help one another This fair-haired charmer was kept busy by her school and part-time work. She was not particularly active in school affairs, but liked football and now and then she went to the movies. She is a jrreat help at home, and is always sweetly smiling and patient. She has something pleasing and elu- sivelv different which gathers friends around her. French Club (3), Marshal (4). Katherine Midwood Brown Virtuous and wise she was, but not severe The term conservative might be applied to Katherine. but her sense of humor sometimes overcomes her repression. An excellent student, even Latin scansion, held few terrors for her. .As for athletics, basket ball and skating appeal most to Katherine. Cheerful, serene, optimistic, she will never lack for friends. Chairman Senior Class Color Day, Basket Ball (4). Earl Douglas Brunt Life is labor This year we missed his bright green shirt with the letter- ing just above the breast pocket which marked him as a seller of Thorn Mc. n shoes, and which during his Junior year was a convenient method of recognizing him. Earl is a loyal member of the DeMoIay and will, we are sure, be the ne.xt champion horseshoe pitcher of the United States. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Harold Edward Bryant 'Then he will talk — good heavens, how he vill talk Harold is one of the jolliest members of our class. When- ever you see him, he is sure to have a big smile on his face. Harold was one of our most rabid football fans and could be seen at every c:ame. He also is fond of hunting and sp)ends a great deal of his time in the woods. Harold Joseph Burns He has common sense in a way that's uncommon e have often wondered wjiere Harold got such a sweet disposition, but we have an idea it is from unpacking candy after school. Though he took part in no other activities in school, except to make classes enjoyable, he was an ardent athlete in all lines of sports. Junior-Senior Relay (3). William Frederick Burns A wit a day keeps the blues away Bill, our Will Rogers and special friend of Miss Haskins, was often seen promenading the corridors with Eddie Sulli- van. Bill surprised us this year by his football ability. He is very independent of the opposite sex. Watch the movies for further news of Bill. Band (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Debating Club, Foot- ball (4). 14 Elliott Wayne Buskey 'ivork, I work, 0 how I work Elliott was one of the busiest members of our class and was always doing something. During the wintry months Elliott managed our basket ball team and in the warmer weather he had his work as a soda clerk. Elliott plans to go South next fall to work in a cafeteria. Assistant Basket Ball Manager (3), Basket Ball Man- ager (4). Esther Caroline Caouette Sober, steadfast, and demure Esther is ou- demure brunette. We had to lose her for a time on account of illness, but, we are happy to say, she returned to us again. Esther's leisure time was pretty well filled up with playing nurse maid, without mentioning hiking and sliding. Anthony Joseph Casimo A gentle boy with soft and silken locks Tony is such a quiet fellow that he has to be coa.xed before he will tell us anything. He greatly aided committees who were sponsoring dances and parties for he displayed a great business mind for such enterprises. He calls tennis his favorite hobby and spends most of his afternoons in spring, summer, and autumn on the tennis courts. He has been a member of the tennis team all three years while in High School. Tennis (2-3), Debating Club, Dramatic Club (3-4), French Club, Class Book Committee (4). Carolyn Ida Caswell The playful smile around the dimpled mouth Carolyn's slogan, as can be judged from the smile, seems to be, Why Worry? She certainly does live up to it. Carolyn was one of our most rabid football fans. More than one official has felt the sting of her wrath. Though living just a little on this side of the Lunenburg line, she defies anyone to say that she comes from the sticks. Glee Club (2-3-4), Art Club (4). Doris Madelen Cattel Oitr patience will a:h'.ev2 more than our force Doris is one of those little persons who, although not heard from much, has a force, that if occasion arises, makes itself felt. Although she is quiet, we cannot attempt to predict what the future holds for her, but we can say that whatever it may be it will come through determination and perseverance. Glee Club (3). Nunzie John Celona The noblest mind the best contentment has Success comes in cans and that is why Nunzie drives a Ford. Any day after school, he could be seen rattling off in his boat to spend a calm, pastoral afternoon at home. Nunzie surprised us by his quietness about school. This dark-haired son of the south (Fitchburg) may be distinguished from the rest of us by his cubical capacity. Football (2-3-4). [15] FHS James Whitcomb Chalmers He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts The possessor of a contapious optimism, a good student, always smilins, and an excellent athlete. As a basket ball star, he's a wow and he is so fast on the cinders that he gives his shadow a ten-yard handicap and beats it to the tape. You will find Jimmy has a heart of gold, in which, like a hotel, there's always room for one more. Track, Basket Ball (2-3-4), Football, Glee Club, Pickles, Junior-Senior Reception, Relay Team (3), Councillor (3-4), Marshal, The Class Play, Business Manager Class Book (4). Mabel Helena Clark Sit closer, friends, and hear my views We sometimes pause to wonder how it comes about, when we think of the sign in room 49 — Accuracy, not speed, for Mabel's report card shows that it pays to be accurate. Her oratorical ability did much to stimulate interest in the Debat- ing Club meetings. She is a girl who can carry home the prize from a bridge party. Mabel is a true friend, always ready to lend a helping hand, and always cheerful. Volley Ball (2-4), Dramatic Club, Debating Club (2-3-4), French Club (3-4), Class Book Committee. Prize Debate, Senior Class Play, Property Manager French Play in Open Meeting (4). Marjorie Ona Clark do loathe explanations Marjorie does not say much in school, but you ought to hear her among her friends. She never worries over her les- sons. During her spare time, she takes care of children. Mar- jorie plans to go in training. Her hair is the envy of many a maid. Walter Clark Shy, diffident, yet, -djithal, a bit of a rogue Walter, is a quiet, blond voung man whom we suspect of mischief — he's so convincingly innocent! They say that an idle brain is Satan's workshop, but this apparently doesn't apply to Walter, for he tells us that he works — outside of school-hours. We know that swimming keeps him pretty busy during the good old summertime. Clayton Gibson Cleverly, Jr. He is always laughing for he has an infinite deal of wit Clayton enjoyed school hugely and plans to continue it indefinitely. With his ready jokes and cheerful smile, he was a powerful enemy to glumncss, which has no place in a class that Clayton attends. He likes sports, espiccially football. His greatest hobby is to fish and read hair-raising dectective stories. Squad B Football (2-3), Junior Relay (3), Dramatic Club (3-4), Squad A Football, Class Play (4). Bernadette Evelyn Clouthier So buxom, blithe, and debonair Bernadette believed that the outside activities sponsored by the High School ought to be supported, which belief .she maintained in every way possible. She goes in seriously for iiasket ball and track. She likes to dance, swim, and play tennis. Track (2-3), Basket Ball, Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Art Club (3), Glee Club, Debating Club (4). 16 Elsie Marie Collin Softly speak and sweetly smile Elsie would rather be seen than heard. However, she always adds to the fun when she's around. She worked every other week in the school bank and afternoons for Lesure the florist. Elsie enjoys hiking and skating. She intends to go to a design- ing school. Harris Manning Colpitts His works and words and fashion, too, all of a piece, and all are clear and straight That school is a place for study and not for play is the impression we receive as Harris stands marshaling opposite Room S. We know, for all he is so stern and serious, he's the very spirit of fun. The occupants of the Shirley Limited were transformed into a merry lot by his witty remarks. The latter hours of Harris's day are spent at the Central Hardware Store. Evidently Harris enjoys printing for he hopes to work later at the Fitchburg Sentinel. Band, Dramatic Club (2-3), Marshal (3-4). Doris Verna Cooke Pretty, witty Dot Doris is all joy which bubbles forth in spite of her attempts at gravity. She studied a little, danced a great deal, and played basket ball sometimes. Under this joyousness, however, lurks a capable mind and a serious intention of training at Burbank Hospital for the responsible position of nurse. Basket ball (3). William Thomas Costello am sober as a judge As seen by his classmates in school. Bill appears to be a quiet unassuming fellow but once outside the mightly portals he changes to the fun-loving type. He was a faithful member of The Outdoor Boys, a well-known South Side organiza- tion. Bill was a gr eat sports follower and during the spring months could often be seen at Crocker Field, working out on the track. Being a persistent fellow, who knows but what he may be a future Olympic star? Junior Relay Team (3). Edith Louise Couch Of surpassing beauty and in the bloom of youth Oh ! those eyes, she can't make them behave at times. Edith always has a ready smile for everyone. She is well liked by all those who know her. Her favorite hobby is attending football games. She worked at the Normal School evjry other week and we did not see half enough of her. Glee Club, Operetta, Class Flag Committee (3), Marshal (3-4). Robert Lee Cushing He would shake hands with a king upon his throne And think it kindness to his majesty Robert is one of our big, manly heroes, and as you would expect, likes all sports and hopes to go to Dartmouth. His activities have been many, but his part in the operetta in 1929 was his favorite one. Robert is a fun-loving, genial fellow, with a flashing smile and ready laughter. Interested in aviation. Squad B Football (2), Basket Ball (2-3-4), Junior-Senior Reception, Junior Relay, Operetta (3), Marshal (3-4), Tennis, Councillor, Class Book Committee, Class Play. [17] Florence Mae Daggett Her air, her manners, all who saw admired Florence is one of the busiest and best-liked girls in our class. We shall always remember the wonderful work she did for us, as chairman of our Senior Dance, last Thanksgiving. She was an ardent supporter of High School athletics and could always be found ushering at our basket ball and foot- ball games. During the spring and summer months she could often be seen playing tennis at Crocker Field. We don't know whether she favors the opposite sex, but we have our sus- picions. Tennis, Secretary Dramatic Club, Track (2), Junior- Senior Reception, Basket Ball (3), Marshal (3-4), Hockey, Senior Class Dance Committee, Senior Class Play, Class Book Committee, Debating Club (4). Margaret Ava Daley There's mischief in her eyes, I know! I'm positive I saw her wink! Margaret is one of the most popular girls and the reason why is not hard to find. Just mark her dancing blue eyes, smiling lips, and dark curly ringlets. She was an enthusiastic football rooter, that is, when her time was not taken by Mr. Casey, a Leominster attorney, for whom she worked. Mar- garet is very fond of dancing and never misses a high school dance, for all she comes from distant Shirley. Glee Club (3). Carroll Eugene Dalzell Study makes the man Heads up! Eyes erect! West Point is coming. Dalzell came to us our senior year direct from the woods of Maine with his original dialect. We have all found him a perfect gentleman, who attends to his own affairs and lets other folks alone. He is well liked by all who have come in contact with him. He certainly showed an ambition for study. Charles Horace Darling Steady of heart, and stout of hand Hunting an id fishing appeal greatly to Charles. Every year he is always among the first to enjoy these pastimes. He is a quiet sort of fellow and a consistent plugger. Outside of school, Charles worked at a bottling establishment. Mary Ann Darling Patience is a fton'cr that grows not in every one's garden Mary is a girl who is truly quiet. She picked her friends well and made several lasting friendships during her four years in the High School. At every football game, be it rainy or fine, hot or cold, Mary could be found. She was a good example of a loval rooter and an enthusiastic football fan. Edward Russell Daulton The character of a man is known from his conversation Eddie comes from our most noted suburb, W'est Fitchburg. He helped our football team greatly this fall. In and about school he appeared to be a quiet chap, never saying much and tending to nobody's affairs but his own. His quiet ways and his sincerity have won him a host of friends. He is not a ladies' man. Football (3). Harvey Edward David My talents run in many directions Harvey can put pep into a hundred students at a dance simply by tickling the keys of his beloved instrument, the piano. Harvey has shown what he can do outside of school by being a member of the interclass baseball teams and run- ning in the Junior-Senior Relay. Junior-Senior Relay (3), French Club (3-4). Margaret Dorothy Dennihan Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shine Margaret says she just loves Glee Club! No wonder she does, for music is one of her hobbies. She often entertained us at assemblies with her violin playing and her fine alto voice. Margaret is also fond of painting and dancing. She plans to enter the Nason Institute. Orchestra (2), Chairman, Junior Flag Committee, Junior- Senior Reception (3), Concert Mistress and Librarian of Or- chestra (3-4), Secretary and Treasurer Art Club (3-4), Senior Musicale, Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Marshal (4). Dana Edwin Dickinson Smooth words make smooth ways Dana does more or less hard work, at least, he works hard outside of school. He spends his afternoons in the office of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette where we hear he has a rather lucrative job. Dana is a quiet boy and takes girls as matter of fact, but he enjoys a bit of fun every now and then, in school as well as outside. George Francis Dignam My only books. Were woman's looks. And folly's all they've taught me George is that good-looking fellow who shone at all our socials. He peddled gasoline as an avocation. Noted for his easy-going ways and excuses. Dramatic Club (2). Bertram Ernest Donais A good reputation is a great charge Bertram, one of the smaller members of our class is an ardent sportsman, although he did not participate in school sports. His hobby is raising dogs and in this we sympathize with him. We also hear that he is interested in a young, dark- eyed, and talented violinist of the orchestra. Domenica Anna Drago A gentle maid with quiet modest ways Quiet and unassuming, Domenica goes about her daily tasks with an ever-ready smile and friendly greeting. To expound the mysteries of reading, riting, and 'rithmetic is her ambition and her svmpathetic nature will aid her success. Glee Club (3). 19 FHS Bernardine Ida Driscoll Give me romance, and I'll dispense With the rodomontade of common sense. Debating is one of Bernardine's marked abilities and with- out her the strength of the Debating Club would have been decidedly lessened. Her power of argumentation is not entirely confined to the club for an occasional glance in Room 26 dur- ing lunch period has shown her holding spirited conversation with some attentive male listener. Open Meeting (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Debating Club (2-3-4), French Club (3-4), Glee Club, Prize Debate (4). Irene Elizabeth Dufort Those eyes, soft and capacious like a cloudless sky We used to hear this mellow-toned songster trilling in our assemblies, but for some years now she has deprived us of that pleasure.

Vincent Elliott Vinnie's bent certainiy must be mechanical, since he is apprenticed as a draftsman at Simond's Saw and Steel Co. He finds great delight in fooling with contraptions such as auto- mobiles and machinery. His plan is to complete his appren- ticeship, which is to last approximately one year and a half. He tells us that he keeps fit by climbing mountains. Armas Victor Erkkila Sturdy, faithful, and versatile — a« example of manhood Armas is a natural student to whom studies come easily. Then again, Armas was a star track athlete, and chairman of athletics on the Red and Gray. To fill up his spare time, Armas worked outside, practised the piano, banjo, and clarinet, played in several orchestras, and what have you ! But Armas thinks he's shirking, and next year is going to take a course at Worcester Tech. on top of all the rest!

John Joseph Esielionis A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident lomorrowsl Johnny is one of our fair-haired idols, a jocund, happy-go- lucky sort of fellow. Although John lives a long distance from the city, he arrives bright and early, each morning for school. He manages his job as clerk and chief-butcher of Shirley mighty well. In his spare moments, John likes to fish, trap, and hunt. Glee Club, Operetta, Junior Relay (3), Senior Class Play (4). Lauri William Eskeli Trying to find out anything about Lauri s private life is like peeling an orange without breaking the skin. However, we do know that Lauri can draw a wicked bow in the orchestra. In school we find him an intensely attentive pupil. For recrea- tion, beside studying, Lauri acts as clerk at the Co-operative Grocery Co.

She had let her hair grow, but has cut it again, thus proving that not everyone with long hair keeps it. Marjorie was an ardent hockey fan and for the last two years played on the girls' hockey team.

Besides dancing and reading, Bea always has time for her music. Whatever her mood, she finds in her piano a constant and sympathetic friend. Dramatic Club (4). Barbara Elizabeth Francis Beauty is truth; truth, beauty Barbara's witty and often satirical remarks keep her inti- mate friends in constant high spirits and sometimes cause the lunch room to be filled with unrestrained howls of laughter. She has become a devotee of the new tap-dancing fad, and has entertained us several times with the fascinating rhythm of this dance. Barbara is so outspoken that you will receive no disguised or misleading words from her — she says what she means ! Dramatic Club, Junior-Senior Reception (3). Lucile Rebecca French To know her is to mderstand her The sign on her door always reads Busy. Her activities range all the way from singing in the village choir to playing the Irish maid in a stirring melodrama. To speak ill of red hair in her presence is a social error. Oratory is one of her accomplishments, and her musical talents are much sought after. Sincere, frank, and ambitious. French Club, Debating Club, Class Book Committee (4). James Andrew Gaffeney And let a schj.ar a'.l Earth's vo.umes carry, He will be but a walking dictionary Jimmie's formula for life must be happy-go-lucky for we certainly cannot find anything, not even an examination, that would destroy the smile on his face. Jimmie spent most of his time after school e.xperimenting with old cars, playing football or baseball, and sitting in Room 26. Dramatic Club, French Club (3). Catherine Agnes Gaynord Her smiling eyes with simple truth were stored Gentlemen are supposed to prefer blondes, but we are inclined to disbelieve this when we see the boys around Catherine. Her winning ways have won her many admirers among her classmates. Her afternoons are spent easing the pains of the stricken in a doctor's office. Catherine and Mar- garet are especially good friends as they both come from the same section. FHS nil lll|P 1 IP 'II - [21] Ronald Frederic Gilbert His discourse u as like tiny drops of water, but meant oceans We didn't hear much from Ronald Gilbert during his High School career. Ronald studied hard, but didn't say much. He was an excellent student in Mechanical Drawing. Ronald hopes to go to a trade or textile school after working a year. William Joseph Gillis His own opinion was his law William Gillis, one of our foremost debaters, has appeared in several debates and short plays and has borne himself well throughout. William was no mean scholar and with a little more effort, could have been among the best of them. Gillis was also very active in sports, and was a member of the football team.

Huldah plans to go to college and later to be an accountant. Monument Decoration Committee (2-3), Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (4). Elinor Josephine Hackett The sparkle of a dark eye is always a riddle Elinor makes a very pleasant clerk at M. T. Cummings Co. Every day after school for some reason or other she could be seen sitting with Carolyn on the pedestal opposite the post- office. Elinor was a faithful supporter of our football games and she even went to all the outside games. She is planning to go to Fitchburg Business College next year. [22] Lauretta Rose Hamel laugh, for hope hath happy place for me Lauretta is blessed with dimples. She is very fond of skat- ing and frequently could be seen at St. Joseph's Skating Rink. We know why Lauretta got to school early; her boy friend has a car. French Club (4). Raymond Joseph Hamel am as sober as a judge'' Raymond is a quiet member of our class who spent all his spare time working in the shoe department of Parke-Snow, Inc.

Orchestra (2-3-4), Gym Team (4). Lily Alice Hancock H er pale blue eyes smiled constantly Lily is a quiet little girl with a crown of red hair. She came from Waites Corner, and made a daily dash for the morning trolley in order to arrive on time. Her favorite hangout in school was at the end of the corridor on the third floor, where, during lunch period, she held an animated conversation with her numerous friends. Ethel Delia Handley The enticing smile; the modest seeming eye Here she is ! Ethel swings a mean racket and never gets excited. She won the girls' tennis championship cup for two years. Ethel is planning on college next year, but has no def- inite one in mind. Girls' Tennis Championship (2-3). Marion Blanche Hanks Honesty is the best policy Like so many great p)eople, Marion comes from a small town. In her native Westminster, she spends her spare time saying Number, please and I'll ring them again. Marion is not gifted with a silver tongue and we only hear from her occasionally. We e.xpect in the future to see her reading tem- peratures and taking pulses for we have heard her express an ambition for the nursing profession. Francis Joseph Hanley Carefree as the wind am I Francis and his pals worry not at all. There may be les- sons, say they, but why cause distress by preferring one. Pink teas, however, are not in his line. Football, sayeth he, is a man's sport and therefore away went Francis to prac- tice. Swimming, too, engages his interest. When not in pursuit of these manly acts, his time is free, but that's all he savs. Football (2-3). [23] Gertrude Kyllikki Hannula A noble mind with a noble heart Gertrude is a real ruralite. In this day and age when we all are or want to be city dwellers, she lives on a real farm. When in the grades, she played volley ball every chance she got so that now it has become her hobby, with basket ball a close second. Walton Albert Harris Women? I never heard of them before, what are women like? Walton is one of our country lads, but he managed to get to school every morning providing the Shirley bus was run- ning. We hear, too, that he did a little more than his share in keeping the Limited in a continual upheaval. We often won- der when Walton did his studying for if he wasn't out riding in his huge bespattered car, he was sure to be out hunting. He intends to go to Burdett College. Glee Club (2-3). Helen Gorman Hassett Intermingle jest with earnest Helen may seem serious, but when you come to know her, you discover that she is just as full of fun as anyone else. Her hobbies are reading, swimming, and boating. She has a canoe, and often last summer we saw her out canoeing on Lake Winnekeag. Helen e.xpects to go to Law School, prob- ably Portia in Boston. Shirley Libby Hatch Her cheeks mantle with mirth Class rooms and study halls would be peculiarly unfamiliar without Shirley's expressive giggle. Judging by her report card, we would say that Shirley knows her Spanish. In a few years hence when we feel the need of a few sugar coated pills to cure our ailments, we may visit Dr. Shirley Hatch, for such is to be her chosen profession. Glee Club (3). Priscilla Elizabeth Healey laugh'd, and danc'd and talk'd and sang Priscilla evidently likes children as she was often seen walking with some in her Junior year, but we think that she later changed her views upon the subject. Priscilla was a loyal supporter of the High School football games. We noticed that she attended the games this year with an ex-football plavcr. She is also fond of tennis and swimming. Glee Club (3). Senia Mary Heikkila Cheerful company shortens the miles Senia is outstanding in girls' sports. She was on the Basket Ball, Volley, and Track Teams. She also excelled in skating and swimming.

Virginia Heywood Such easy greatness, such a graceful port Ginny has gone through High School doing her share in several activities. Her dancing is to be remembered when we recall operettas and entertainments. We have often heard her sing and have also read her stories in the Red and Gray. Ginny's amiable self and pleasing personality, her ever ready willingness to help, prove her interest in her friends and her work.

Hilkka likes dancing very much and spends her Saturday nights at the dances. During the afternoons Hilkka acted as bookkeeper for a garage on Mechanic street. Glee Club (3). Margaret Mary Hilferty Grace is in all her steps! Heaven in her eye Margaret is one of the vivacious femmes of the class. Pretty, charming, a good dancer, and possessing a lively sense of humor, she is very popular with her classmates. We hear the chosen one is a working boy ! She spends most of her spare time chasing balls on the Alpine Golf Course. Glee Club, Operetta (3). Mary Hird She is a winsome loee thing Our Mary is a petite, unobtrusive person. She is happy with her friends whom she has won, with her beautiful smile and gentle manners. She worked, studied, and took part in activities with quiet enjoyment, laughing inwardly, we fear, at the silly bustle of the rest of us. She plans to go to Normal school and to take up the irksome business of teaching. French Club, Dramatic Club, Glee Club (4). Henry Heimo Hirvonen am a part of all that I have met Hennie, one of the few hunters of the High School, picks his game in the woods of Shirley, through which he has trudged endlessly in search of animals, fish, or fowl. He does his own photographing and develops his own proofs and prints. Through this medium, he has interested his friends at school in his hobbies. FHS [25] Edward Simpson Hooper Modest, yet all of a king is he Eddie is one of the stellar athletes of our class. He shone in class as well as on the gridiron or cinder path. Eddie ran the best time for our class in last year's Junior-Senior race. We hope he will repeat his fine performance again this year. We understand Eddie likes the fairer sex, but is rather timid in showing anv inclination toward them. Basket Ball' (2-3), Track, Football (3). Ada Madeline Houghton know it is a sin, for me to sit and grin Ada is dark-haired, very attractive, and gay. She was very popular, and had a host of friends of both sexes. You never saw Ada with a frown on her face. Ada was undoubtedly one of the outstanding girl athletes in the school. She is fond of all sports, and starred especially in hockey, basket ball, volley ball, and track. Track (2-3), Basket Ball, Hockey, Volley Ball (2-3-4). Robert Hayes Houghton Men of quality are above wit Do not allow vourself to be deluded by thinking that Rob- ert isn't a busy boy. He is planning to go to Worcester Tech. and is getting the marks to enter yet without forgetting other activities. Outside of school, when he wasn't working in the stock-room of the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Company, he was either skating, swimming, or trading stamps, all accord- ing to the season. Ring Committee (3), French Club (4). Everett Frederick Innerasky His talents are of a more silent class Everett is quiet and not boastful, but he was one of the pillars of our art department. His taste and skill may be seen in some numbers of our Red and Gray and even in the Class Book. His greatest hobby is drawing, of course, but skating and tennis are also enjoyed by this boy artist.

She worked for Mr. Howard every other week, but regardless of part-time dignity, we could hear her hearty laugh resound from one end of the corridor to the other. She was an enthusiastic rooter at the football games. In addition to her fondness for dancing, she enjoys playing checkers with Shirlev Hatch. Glee Club (3). Armas Donald Jarvela Young fellows will be young fellows! .Armas's influence at the Sentinel gave many an athlete a good writeup.

Joseph Jurga A generous friendship no cold medium knows Joe was a hard worker and a fine sport in his high school work. His record showed an unbroken string of honor marks which really must be envied. Although Joe did not take part in High School basket ball, we hear he played some brilliant games in Shirley Center. To hunt and fish in some remote spot is a diverting occupation for Joe. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Helen Hagburg Johnson They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts Artistic Helen has won a warm place in the hearts of her classmates.

Dancing holds great allurements for Helen and after watching a few dances, we need not ask whv. Glee Club (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Palette Club, Class Book Committee (4). Paul Clifford Johnson Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony But organically I am incapable of a tune One does not have to be a musician to be a music lover. Paul Johnson plays no instrument other than the radio, but his love for music can't be beaten. As a rule Paul spent his afternoons clerking in an A P Store, studying, and tuning in. Freda Olga Kandianis Good order is the foundation of all good things Freda is one of our future young business women. She was a part-time pupil and worked in the library. She is athletic and went out for all sports. She and Mary are inseparable. Mav it always remain so. Hockey (2-3). Jalo Aatos Kauppinen Him for the studious shade, kind nature formed Jalo doesn't say much unless he is called upon, but don't get the mistaken expression that he doesn't know it. In fact, what he doesn't know about physics and chemistry can't be very important. Although he doesn't care so much for certain other subjects, he gets good marks. He works at his father's jewelry store on Main Street. Piano playing is his favorite sport, indoor or outdoor. [27] Charles Henry Kendall Studies serve jor delight, for ornament, and for ability Charley is well known to the students — especially the Eng- lish students, for he worked afternoons as an attendant at the public library. He also blew the trombone in the band, and seemed to enjoy it. Charles is an aviation bug and plans to study aviation at the Worcester trade school. Band (2-3-4). Edith Evelyn Keyes Free from cares, serene, and gay! Edith was unpretending in school and active in outside life. She loves dancing, dotes on swimming and frightens us timid souls with her horseback riding. Her aim in life is to become a teacher and bestow the benefits she has received upon the next suffering generation. A delightfully unaffected girl, and not too much addicted to stud ing. Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, French Club (4). Frances Anna Kincald Good humor and friendliness are the health of the soul Sincerity, loyalty, and helpfulness are only a few of Fran- nie's attributes. Four years her smile and pleasing manner have blossomed in our hearts and have caused us to respond and feel cheery, too. Although somewhat reserved, Frannie has been a loyal rooter for the teams and has proved a real friend to many of us. Glee Club, Dramatic Club. Mary Frances Kinsey A happy soul am I — and why not? Mary accomplished the principal task of her High School career — amusing her friends ! Have ou ever heard her gig- gling laugh or Oh yeah? They're good! When Kinsey's Rolls Royce is headed for the football games, our warning is, Watch Out! Working as pitcher of a baseball team and making all the home runs used to be Mary's favorite outside sport, but now it's attending the talkies. AUie Ingrid Kokkinen Of all the girls that are so smart, There's none like pretty AUie .Allie may not be as loquacious as most of the girls are, but that is because her mind is otherwise occupied. Allie types for Mr. Goodfcllow afternoons and for Mr. .■Xmiott mornings every alternate week. We hear .Allie is ver)- fond of riding in a new roadster. Hockey (2-3), Marshal (3-4). Sylvia Maria Koski What has a woman to do with politics I say? Sylvia is a pretty little girl with an infectious giggle and a broad sense of humor. She does say the funniest things ! Dancing and swimming are her hobbies. She certainly lives up to her motto Never worry. Sylvia worked after school tak- ing care of a little child. She has no definite plans for the future, but she may enter Boston Domestic School. Glee Club, Hockey (2). [28] Esther Kaino Koutonen preach forever; but I preach -in vain Esther, a blonde and a future nurse, has many admirers of both sexes. Her attractive appearance and pleasing manner won her many friends during her high school career. She is interested in all outdoor sports, and is noted for her skill as a skater and swimmer. Volley Ball (2), Dramatic Club (4). Arne Charles Lahtinen Quiet he is, but ah! a twinkle in his eye! Dinky is one of Westminster's native sons. With a keen sense of humor and originality, h has decided opinions about the opposite sex. His ambitions lie along technical lines. Although Dinky has been known to neglect intellectual opportunities, Fitchburg class rooms seem to have had a most inspiring effect. Frederick Lakso He that has knowledge spares his words We did not hear much from Fred either in school or out- side, but this was because he is modest and does not want his boundless knowledge made public. His hobby is building radios. When he is not skating or swimming, he is either tuning in or making another radio. Arlene Mae LaPratt She to her friends does companionship present Arlene is a quiet, demure young lady, who certainly looks younger than her years. She's a girl who can wear her hair straight and still look well. Arlene did not take part in the social affairs at school. She tells us her hobbies are skating and basket ball. Elsa Laila Lassila To be merry best becomes me Elsa is a real business woman. Her energy in the Junior year and especially the Senior year helped to make our fine record for collecting class dues. Elsa is not only a smart exec- utive, but also one of our best athletes. Volley Ball, Track (2), Basket Ball (2-3), Collected Class Dues (3-4), Marshal, Class Book Committee (4). Edgar Roland Lavoie Nothing is impossible to a willing heart Exigar lent a helping hand to numbers of cherubs in French and was responsible for much of the success of the French Club.

Although she did not take part in many activities, she was a loyal supporter of our school. She worked very hard to keep honor marks throughout her school years. Marie Elizabeth LeDoux She must be known to be appreciated Which saying is essentially true of Marie — we find her loth to talk of herself. Especially in school did she keep her own counsel, but then she was not without friends so it must have been that rare quality called reserve. Among other things, Marie is particularly fond of volley ball. Marie tells us that her goal is office work. Dramatic Club, French Club, Glee Club, Pickles (3). Alice Catherine L'Ecuyer Be virtuous and you'll be happy! Swimming and dancing are Alice's hobbies. She is greatly interested in French, which she studied four years and in which she received a prize her Sophomore year. She intends to continue the study of this language. On Saturdays, Alice worked in Goodnow Pearson's. French Club, Dramatic Club (4). Herman Alexander L'Ecuyer You hear that boy laughing? You think he's all fun[ But the angels laugh, too, at the good he's done. Herman is distinguished mainly by his constant reference to the Her Man in his name. He tells us that his outside work is studying and his one hobby getting specimens for biology! But this is just Herman's way of making a joke out of any- thing and everything that comes along. Usually Le Queer, as he is sometimes fondly termed, was surrounded by a grin- ning group of boys or girls whom he habitually amused with his varied repertoire.

See vou in the clouds. Frankie. Basket Ball Squad B, Baseball Squad B, Football Squad B (2-3), Football Squad A (4). Helvi Regina Lehikoinen Knowledge is power There may be more obliging girls than Helvi, but we have yet to find them. Generous, unassuming, and thoughtful, she was always ready to give folks a lift — be it help with sequence of tenses or a French translation. We may think of Helvi, in future years, as a nurse making the sufferings of others easier to bear. 30 Arthur Lauri Lepisto He who works hard is usually happy Art wasn't heard from a great deal in school. During hunt- ing and fishing seasons you could find him in the nearby woods banging away with his shotgun. Although Art spent his afternoons in the woods, he also found time for his les- sens and was one of our best students. Gertrude Hattie Leupold Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven Gert must have been a busy girl from all reports. She worked at the Normal School every other week and attended their socials as loyally as she did ours. She also worked at Brockelman's. Although she believes in a good time, she also believes in doing her lessons. Noted for her pleasant disposi- tion. Councillor (2), Marshal (3-4). Katherine Mary Lewis Tall, serene, as fair a girl as e'er was seen Katherine's blue eyes, quick, warm smile, and low voice with its suspicion of a drawl, make her a particularly pleas- ing person to meet. From her account of good times we gather that Katherine enjoys dancing. And we wonder whether Holy Cross has anythins; to do with her choice of a Worcester Hospital for training. By the way, Katherine, we think you'll make a peach of a nurse. John Philippe Loiseile Never let your studies interfere with your regular High School Course John, a merry and happy-go-lucky fellow, cheered many of his classmates in time of trouble. He spent his spare time as a clerk in the Rome Clothing Co. store, but this did not prevent his frequent attendance at various theatres. He knows every actor and actress in Hollvwood.

Richard Lowell There is no wisdom like frankness Undoubtedly Dick is an explanation in part of the pros- perity of the Eastman Kodak Co., judging by the extensive array of cameras and photographic apparatus which he already owns. Experimenting with these, and touring the town in his Ford apparently absorbed his whole interest outside of school. Of an inquisitive nature, he has discovered many delightful points even about French verbs. Whatever the future holds, the Lowell grin will aid immensely in bringing success. Sylvia Adele Luokkala Good humor is the health of the soul Did you ever see Sylvia with a frown ? Of course not, and you probably never will. To the uninitiated, Sylvia might appear quiet, but that imp of mischief in her eyes belies her calm exterior. Sylvia is another enthusiastic sports-lover. [31] Winona Irene Mackay Good humor and understanding play in the fair proportions of her face What a jolly good sport Winona is! She excels in winter sports, especially skating. A few years ago, while skating, she won a medal for rescuing a boy who fell through the ice. She is modest and shy with a cheerful word for everyone. She e.xpccts to go to New York to train for a nurse. Palette Club (4). Duncan Paul MacLean Good nature and good sense are usua'ly companions Good nature, good sense, and Duncan are three close com- panions. He was quiet and consc'vative as we saw him in class. His personality is so magnetic, that he scarcely has to speak a word to make a new friend. His accomplishments were as a rule above the average of the school, despite seeming to take things in a matter-of-fact way. Debating Club, Dramatic Club (3), Senior Class Play, Mar- rhai.

Sylvia Marie Maki She's all my fancy paints her One can always depend upon a smile from Sylvia. She helped Mr. Chalmers at the office every alternate week, and worked at Kresgc's on Saturda s. Svlvia is very fond of skating and was frequently seen at Coggshall Pond. She is also a very good dancer. Track (2), Marshal (3-4), Senior Class Party, Class Book Committee, Dramatic Club (4). Toivo Oliver Maki These strong, silent men Toivo was one of the quietest of our boys. His recitations in class were pretty steady though, and even if at a loss he managed to retain his dignity — no stuttering or stammering for Toi. We suggest that Toivo try for a position where unswerving composure is required. He'd qualify ! Mary Evinthia Mangalias have rather studied books than men Mary has quiet ways and spent a good deal of her time studying. She was a very efficient part-time student. She was one of the gang frequently seen in the lunch room between recesses. If you know Mary, you're sure to like her. Noted for her black hair. Hockey (2-3). [32] Chester Frank Marchant Words of truth and soberness Chet is our quiet but energetic baseball captain. We didn't hear much from him in the classrooms, but he was a leader on the diamond. Besides being captain of the baseball team, he also played football until an injury forced him to the sidelines.

Jean Pauline Marien Pleasure and action make the hours seem short Jean is one of the musical girls of the Senior class. Her performances on both piano and violin are of no small merit.

Clover Louise Matatall Her conversation had no bitterness, nor her company any lediousness Clover has a rather demure manner and a vigorous right arm. She is in the Girl Scouts and also the Girl Scout Drum and Bugle Corps where she has the privilege of playing the bass drum. This is a rise for Clover as last year she merely carried the drum. Glee Club, Dramatic Club (4). Toini Katherine Matson An agreeable companion on a journey is as good as a carriage Toini likes children very much for she always manages to get hold of some afternoons and evenings. Toini is one of our happy-go-lucky girls, who always wears a smile. Hockey (2-3), Track (3). William Nicholas Matson Slumber is more sweet to me than toil Will iam has a highly developed sense of humor. His idea of a humorous situation centers in a practical joke. But his good nature has made him many friends, and, we suspect, has sometimes saved him from deserved reprimands. He is apt to neglect his intellectual opportunities, but on the relay team he knows how to show speed. Relay Team, Football Squad B (3). [33] [34] Maude May McGee Continual cheerfulness is a sign of wisdom Maude always greets you with a friendly smile, and a merry twinkle in her eye. Being a Girl Scout, she believes in helping others cheerfully. Her chief hobby is reading, but we also hear that she is quite fond of riding in Lucile's car. Maude is planning to become a school teacher. French Club, Debating Club, Class Book Committee (4). Leo Arnold McGuirk A smile is worth forty frowns Leo, our actor, debater, and gentleman, has won the hearts of all who know him. Leo is one of the reasons why future actors tremble for their laurels. His dramatic ability has been proved again and again during his High School career. Because of his ability as a cheer-leader, football rallies will never be the same when he has left.

Harry Gordon Mclnnes Will was his guide Harry showed industry by his honor record. Besides receiv- ing high marks he showed himself a very good business man by his work during his spare time at Donahue's Shoe store. Harry has been among the quieter members of our class and has not taken part in any activities. Robert Holmes McKenna A man of gladness seldom falls into madness Bob is a lad who will not have anyone in his company feeling unhappy. He banishes unhappiness by telling jokes that are always new, and which invariably give his audience a good laugh. Afternoons his time was divided between work and play. He spent a part of his time at the Bendix-Cowdrey Brake Tester Corporation, and the other part in playing at any outdoor sport that a person can think of. Junior-Senior Reception (3), Prophecy Committee for Red and Gray (4). Arthur Henry McKenney In all thy humours, whether grave or mellow Thou art such a pleasant fellow Red was a quiet lad around school but, nevertheless, he was well liked, especially by a certain fair member of the opposite sex. Red was a true supporter of High School athletics, and a great lover of tennis. Bowling is another favorite pastime of his; reports are that he is quite a star at this indoor sport. He left us in the middle of our Senior vear. Marjorie Irene McManus The joy of youth her eyes displayed Mac is the athlete of the class. Hockey, basket ball, volley ball, and track — each has its turn with Marjorie. That happy, good-natured way of hers induces others to feel merry too.

[35] Edmund Ambrose McNally I'm- farther off from heaven than when I was a boy The other day we saw a flock of girls around something and on investigation, we discovered it was Eddie McNally, a grid warrior from West Street. We did not see much of Eddie until his Senior year at which time he blossomed out and showed he could make good. Football, Baseball. Pritcilla Mary Moeckel Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies Meet our flower girl! It is a pleasure to see Prissie's cheery smile as she walks up and down the corridors. She is very fond of sports and dancing. Dramatic Club (2-3), Operetta (3). Michael George Mooradian There is no trusting to appearances Michael is a solemn-looking chap, but some imp must be living inside of him, for it is continually peeking through Michael's eyes. His hobby, of all things, is civics. He hasn't any definite plans for the future, but his hobby may be his guide as it has already piloted him into the Debating Club. An easy-going, likeable fellow. Debating Club (2-3), Dramatic Club (3). Thomas Francis Moran But pardon me, I am too sudden bold, to teach a teacher ill becometh me Tom didn't work too much on his studies, but he got fairly good grades. He also found time to enjoy himself either by watching football games or tinkering with machinery. Tom plans to go to college after graduation. Ruth Elise Morgner The glass of fashion and the mold of form Our chief youthful exemplar of la vie moderne, but feminine withal to the last degree. A personality as gay and changing ns the many costumes she wears with unconscious grace; with a bubbling enthusiasm which communicates itself to others and keeps her younger than her years. Beneath all this is a solid ground of ability in dramatics and of proficiency in her studies. Red and Gray (2-3), Open Meeting, Dramatic Club (2-4), Ring Committee (3), Marshal, Senior Class Play (4). Regina Marie Morin Smooth words make smooth ways Regina may be small, but she is correspondingly quick and active. She plans to engage in office work after graduation. She has a smile and a greeting for all. [36] Beatrice Anna Morse We're born to be happy, all of us Bea is one of our charming young seniors, who is not only good looking but ambitious. Outside of school hours she took care of children, and worked as a clerk on Saturdays. She is a good sportsman, and played well on the Senior Girls' Basket Ball team. Bea also loaned the charm of her voice to the Glee Club. Glee Club, Pickles, French Club (3), Debating Club, Basket Ball, Dramatic Club (4). Roland Franklin Mudgett You can't expect to be both grand and comfortable Roland takes life in a free and easy manner. No one can accuse him of getting excited, even at a test in physics. In fa'ct, the only things that can excite him are large fish, air- plane rides, and detective stories. Roland drives a Ford coupe, better or worse for long usage, and you could hardly give him any other car. Junior-Senior Relay. EIna Linnea Muhonen Her dark eyes — how eloquent Elna has big brown eyes. She is a star basket ball player, and when she shoots, she is generally sure of a basket. At one time Elna was a good soda juggler, and worked at a soda fountain on Mechanic street. Elna timed the distance between her home and school so she got in just as the last bell rang. Dramatic Club (2), Track (2-3), Glee Club, Volley Ball, Basket Ball (2-3-4). Doris Louise Muir Blushing is the color of virtue Doris was a member of the commercial division. She is a real supporter of the West Fitchburg baseball team and may be seen cheering at any of their games. She is a great movie fan and is also interested in roller skating. She has participated in many of our school sports. Hockey (2), Debating Club (4). Albert Nelson Thought is deeper than all speech Al rattled down to school each morning in his little Ford. He is a serious, quiet chap, and very much interested in tinkering with all kinds of machines. Mechanical drawing, flying, and boxing also appeal to him. Helen Niemi have an inspiration — it shall be my life Although Helen was always ready for play, she thought of her lessons sometimes. She was seen at all school activi- ties, and was especially interested in football this season. Helen hopes to go to Massachusetts School of Art. Noted for her ever ready smile.

[37] Wendell Allen Nye The deed proves the man Wendell comes from Westminster but has a city air which we believe he has acquired from four years of city High School with occasional visits to Worcester! Wendell is one of those people who make friends easily. Sometimes we saw him delivering bread, sugar, and like commodities and prov- ing his abilities as a groceryman. A man of promise and abilitv. Ma'rshal (3-4). Paavo Armas Oinonen Quips and quacks and wanton wiles Nods and becks and wreathed smiles How disillusioned we have been when, in hearing the heavy tread of footsteps in the corridor and expecting to encounter a modern Goliath, we are confronted by that diminutive individual — Paavo. His size, however, was no drawback to his football progress. Although on rare occa- sions we saw him in a serious mood, he had a fondness for practical jokes that ciuite overbalanced the seriousness. Basket Ball, Band, Track (2), Baseball, Football (2-3). Albert John Oliva Talent is that which is a man's power Albert has proved his talents lie in the direction of doing things to help teachers. This year he has won the heart of Miss Haskins by being official door closer. In his Junior year, he was chosen to be a Marshal ; and has been, we venture to say, a good one. Albert's athletic interests are at the sign of the three balls — football, basket ball, and base- ball. Marshal (3). Laura Amy O'Neill With a smile on her lips, and a smile in her eyes Laura is an enthusiastic sportswoman in winter. Especially does she enjoy cutting figure eights, at Coggshall. She seems especially in classes to have the ability to see the funny side of life. Laura is one of our part-time students and we expect in the near future to see her make a place in the busmess world. Orchestra (3). Helvi Agnes Orava As merry as a cricket At the Junior reception last year Helvi proved quite an actress. We shall never forget her song, Do, Do Some- thing. Helvi makes it her duty to know all the popular dance hits. She is also a good basket ball plaver.

Charles Nelson Paskauskas Reasoning at every step he treads Nelson is a good student and is well liked by his asso- ciates. He is quite interested in radio and enjoys the wonder- ful programs of the air. We frequently saw him carving model ships and airplanes and upon inquiring, learned that he plans to attend the Massachusetts Nautical School. We hope that he may some day be an admiral. [38] Veikko William Pesonen Nowhere beats a heart so kindly Veikko is a thoughtful and modest young man, and a good student. He played a sweet trumpet in the band and esi ecially liked to play modern compositions. After school, he worked at the Central Hardware store. Judging from the reports from several students, he is a very good clerk. Glee Club (3), Band (2-3). Catherine Agnes Pettifer Whilst I yet live, let me not live in vain Catherine came to us from Orange in our Junior year. We were surely glad to get her. Her sunny smile and mischievous eyes have entranced many of us, both girls and boys. She is especially adept at dancing and is also a skillful skater. She could be seen on any cold day skipping over the ice at St. Joseph's rink. Volley Ball (2), Dramatic Club (4). Stanley Vernon Petts The world belongs to the energetic Although not an athlete, Stanley was a staunch supporter of athletics. He also was one of the Sentinel's staff, and stamped the Shirley and Westminster papers among many others. He says that dancing is no fun, but we think if he tried it he would surely enjoy it. Edith May Pickles Eyes too expressive to be blue, too lovely to be gray Edith has the best of dispositions, and a pleasant smile for all. During her spare time, she worked at Kresge's Store. She is fond of all sports especially hiking. Edith hopes to enter an office as a bookkeeper. We feel sure she will succeed in whatever she decides to do. Dramatic Club (4). Vaito Armas Pirttinen The ease oj his heart every look conveyed Vite is one of the boys to whom gym and basket ball form one of the chief attractions of school. He played on a boys' team for the Finnish A. C, besides playing as much as he could at school. He worked at the Raivaaja Publishing Co., mailing out the daily paper. Vite was one of the boys who ran in the Junior-Senior Relay. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Joseph Alfred Posco A short saying often contains much wisdom Posco, although a quiet lamb of the herd, is the shining light of Mr. Harwood's history class. His words always draw sighs of relief from the other members of the class as Miss Haskins' assemblies are thereby not well attended. He is an e.xample for us all when it comes to having lessons done on time. Life seems a serious matter to him, but still he has many friends who know another side of his character. Basket Ball (2-3-4), Glee Club (2). 59 Dorothy Winifred Potter Roses are her cheeks A colleen with twinkling eyes and a face wreathed in smiles who patiently lugs home an armful of books daily.

Mary Catherine Potter Mary has not been a faithful attendant of High School social functions, but devoted her attention to the more seri- ous side of High School life. She was usually seen pondering over her books, and as a result has been rewarded with good marks in her studies. Mary is of a calm, studious nature, and is usually smiling and cheerful. Councillor' (2), French Club (4). Toini Irene Puro A fig for care, and a fig jor woe! Toini personifies gaiety, liveliness, and sport. Swiftly mov- ing, brightly smiling, she went in and out of school as a mountain brook skips among the pebbles. Free from the worries we others feel, she throws herself wholeheartedly into dancing, swimming, and skating activities which, with their breathless motion, satisfy her excitement-loving soul. Track, Hockey (2). Anthony Michael Quatrello Lo and behold ! What have we here ? A promising boxer and contender for the heavyweight crown left by Gene Tun- ney. Tony not only boxes, but he is also a riot in his classes. With these various talents he is bound to succeed. Madelyn Jane Quigley A maiden is a tender thing Ice-skating, horseback riding, swimming, hockey — there are not many girls who are more active in sports than Madelyn. Yet sports do not take up all her leisure, for she finds time for catering and taking care of children. Besides being a member of the Dramatic Club, she had a position in our orchestra. Hockey (2), Orchestra (2-3--4), Dramatic Club (3-4), Debating Club (4). Toini Rahkola Cheeks as soft as July peaches Lips whose dewy scarlet teaches poppies paleness Toi is one of the most demure little ladies of the whole class, and also one of the most attractive. She adds to her charm by a natural flair for good taste in dress. Her attrac- tive ensembles are a source of general envy. Toi brags about her distaste for studies, but is a good student, nevertheless. She likes all sports, especially basket ball and swimming. She is a very busy girl, and a very able one. Besides going out for every school project that she could, she helped out- side. However, Toi's reply to any compliment is invariably a modest Sez you. Track, Glee Club, Pickles (3), Basket Ball (3-4). [40] Bertha Claire RahmberK There is nothing more requisite in business than dispatch Bertha is one of those High School students who, after school is an efficient and industrious clerk at Kresge's. She is most obliging too. But Bertha does not always mean to be a clerk, but plans to go to some business school for further training. Dramatic Club (3-4). Edna Rajala She dances like an angel Windblown bobs for Edna. She's just the girl for them. Edna, being very fond of dancing, sees to it that she doesn't miss one. We sometimes wonder if Edna would go to all those dances if it wasn't for a certain little fellow in the orchestra. Track (2), Hockey (2-4). Walter Kauko Rautio am monarch of all I survey Flash was one of our most active pupils in all social and athletic affairs and he expects to continue his activities at college. As staff photographer on the Red and Gray, he took great pleasure in keeping the faculty shivering on the front steps while he adjusted the focus of his camera. He made an enviable record for himself by his work and genuine interest in all he undertook. Band, Councillor, Track, Basket Ball (2).

He should do well there and in after life, if his willingness to work and the conscientiousness he dis- played in the class rooms of Fitchburg High continue. Dramatic Club, Track Team (4). Eunice Rosen My mind on its own center stands unmoved, And stable as the fabric of the world Eunice is quiet and thoughtful by nature; independent and original in her ideas. She gets a healthy enjoyment from sports, of which swimming and tennis are her special favor- ites.

[41 ] Paavo Edward Rostedt The mold of this man is in his clothes Bevo is our quiet track captain who is expected to reach hisih altitudes this coming season. Bevo was also a good little halfback on our football team. His hard tackles shook many an opponent's vertebrae. Track (2-3-4), Football (2-3-4). Theresa Maria Roy Pluck up thy spirits; look cheerfully on me Cheerful, and evidently believing in the phrase Keep smiling, Theresa goes about whatever is to be done. She is a little person — but so was Napoleon. Her talents as an usher are in no wise lacking. In the orchestra we heard the music of her violin. Who can tell what that instrument may have to do with her future? Glee Club, French Club, Dramatic Club, Orchestra (3). Yvonne Louise Roy As frank as rain or cherry blossoms Yvonne isn't one of the so-called prominent members of the class. She doesn't go around tooting her own horn and rushing into every activity, but when it comes right down to loyalty to her school and to lending a hand to the cause, Yvonne is right there. She makes friends rather readily and keeps them. We guess that she would infinitely prefer to go swimming than to dig away at her studies! French Club (4). Edwin Mitchel Ruuska A brave man struggling in the storm of fate Eddie is one of our air-minded classmates who is planning to take up aeronautics in the near future. We didn't hear enough from this tall, quiet classmate of ours. For all we know, we mav have another Lindy in our midst. Mary Charlotte Ryan When Irish eyes are smiling Blue eyes, black waving hair, and what have you? Char- lotte always has a good time whether it be in Fitchburg or Leominster! As she will tell you her favorite hobbies are reading and watching football games — particularly the one staged Thanksgiving Day ! Her ambition is to be a stenog rapher — won't she make a cute one? Track (3), Dramatic Club (3-4), Debating Club (4). Hazel Louise Ryder Begone, dull Care! I prithee begone from me! Hazel is another smiling girl. Her motto to which she certainly lives up is Laugh, and the world laughs with you. .Although Hazel was very conscientious about her studies, she was nevertheless just full of mischief. Hazel is a great sports- lover, and never misses a basket ball or football game French Club, Dramatic Club, Debating Club (3). Tauno Salminen Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit Fish is our well-known basket ball captain. He excels, too, in football and baseball. He also played a political role as a member of our student council representing room 22. As yet Fish has not cast an eye at the fairer sex. But who knows? Junior-Senior Relay, Football, Basket Ball, Baseball (2-3-4), Councillor, Class Book Committee (4).

Mary kept our typewriting class running smoothly by singing to us when the teacher was out. Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Elsa Anna Schaff Few hearts like hers with virtue warmed, Few hands so many tasks performed Elsa's magnetism lies in her individual personality, her willingness to do, and her friendliness. Elsa couldn't possibly be idle anywhere and she is someone's idol everywhere. The burden of so many outside activities and of numerous respon- sibilities has failed to daunt her determination and courage. If life is good to the friendly and kind, then, Elsa, untold happiness will be yours.

Angelo Seretto, Jr. Look you, I am the most concerned in my own interests Seretto is the boy you can see every day riding up and down Main street in his Chevrolet. He is a big business man, it seems, as he takes a great hand in his Dad's business. He is another of the members of the class who think Silence is golden. Try being more articulate, Angelo, and maybe you can coin silver. Joseph Shane Business is business Here we have none other than Joseph Shane himself in person. Bill Tilden's only rival on the tennis court. Gussie is planning to attend Clark University to continue his studies in Latin. Elizabeth Shaw Studious she sat, with all her books around One of the quietest of our girls is Elizabeth — not shy, but oh, so reserved! Not idling away her time talking, she can and does devote much of it to reading. Then, too, this habit of silence saves wind and Elizabeth does like track. Elizabeth is another of our nurses-to-be. Dramatic Club (4). [43] Margaret Dorothy Shea Best of comfort, and ever welcome to us — welcome lady Margaret has won many friends by her pleasing ways. She is said to be a good example of a model student. Margaret is especially interested in drawing and oil painting. She ex- pects to go to Normal School. Palette Club (3-4), Marshal (3-4), Dramatic Club (4). Margaret Ellen Shea Bashfuness is an ornament to youth Margaret, a quiet member of the class, has not partici- pated in many school activities. We hear, however, that she is an ardent skiing fan. Her spare time was spent as cashier in the Goodnow-Pearson Co. store, where she has made many friends. Her attractive smile pleases many of the other sex. Glee Club (3). Leona Elizabeth Sherman Prosperity to the man that ventures to please her It is a pleasure to see Leona at any time. On a rainy day she can be seen wearing her chic yellow slicker with its pleasing decorations, the envy of the school. Leona plans to work a year before entering Bryant Stratton's Dramatic Club (4). Elvie Catherine Siipola She was good as she luas fair To know her was to love her In our school, the name Siipola is synonymous with both activity and responsibility. Elvie's readiness to help has put her on intimate terms with all the teachers and the pupils. Elvie likes to draw and to act, and sometimes gives dra- matic representations in the assembly hall.

George's specialties are skating, basket ball, and ushering at Shea's. Basket Ball, Baseball (2), Track (3).

He is a quiet, studious boy and we know he will be successful in whatever he under- takes. Many of us have been objects of his caustic wit, and seldom have we been able to beat him in repartee. Paul's optimism and cheerfulness will go a long way toward making his future life a success. Ruth Florence Smith When you have nothing to say, say nothing Ruth was rather quiet around school, and paid strict atten- tion to her studies. But don't be misled by her sober expres- sion, because really, she's just full of fun. Ruth says her hobby is driving a car. Raymond Joseph St. Cyr He never engaged in a bad cause and never fled from a good one Ray proved tliat he was the • flash of our track team by continuously streaking down the course in front of his rivals. Track is his favorite sport, but he has three others: Football, baseball, and dancing. Ray was the circulation manager of our school magazine. He was very popular in the only club he belonged to — the French Club, especially with the girls who composed it.

Olive Antoinette St. Germain Little tube of mighty power, charmer of an idle hour This tall, dark, slim girl with the charming smile and pretty name of Olive is certainly a pleasant person to meet. She is a good student. She worked at S. S. Kresge Co. on Sat- urdays, selling hot dogs. Olive has no definite plans for the future. Elizabeth Pierce Stearns Sweet is thy virtue as thyself art sweet Charming manners, happy chatter, and fine disposition are Betty's merits. She liked school, but we are of the impression that she preferred playing golf and tennis or perhaps dancing. The parties and meetings of the Rainbow Society were cer- tainly enlivened by Betty's presence. Sincerity is harbored in her grav eves.

[ 46 Helen Margaret Sundstrom She is the very pink of courtesy Helen worked part-time in the school office and afternoons at the Fitchburg Rubber Co. However, she found time for her lessons and in her marks proved this. She is considered a quiet girl by strangers. Those who know her best can tell you she is always ready for a good time.

Not only because she was the highest ranking student in the class, literary chairman of the Red and Gray, and a member of the French, Debating, and Dramatic clubs, but also because she is a very human young lady, and not exclusively a student as one would naturally expect.

Gert was a marshal and a councillor, and belonged to the Dramatic and French Clubs. She is always cheerful and enthusiastic, ever prepared to fall in line and to co-operate ; in short, she is one of those enviable people who invariably manage to keep their sunny side up. Councillor, Ring Committee, French Club (3), Marshal, Dramatic Club (3-4), Editor of Class Book, Secretary of French Club (4). Leo Verner Toko Are you not he that frights the maidens of the villagery? A lover, an athlete, and a scholar. And such a scholar! In Math, he doesn't even know whether he knows or not ! But in the corridors Leo knows what's what. Besides being a dis- tinct asset to the social side of our school, Leo has also dabbled in basket ball and found time to cultivate the esteem of our supervisor of studv. Miss Haskins. Basket Ball (2-3) Track (4). Aune Irene Tokoi Amiable, clever, and zealous If you want a thing done well, get Aune to do it; be it an English assignment or a Red and Gray story, she's always willing. She's quiet and cares very little for self-display. She was continually on the honor list. She skipped her Junior year entirely. , unc has a yearning to return to the Old World and we may in future years see her in a European back- ground. French Club, Dramatic Club (2-4), Class Book Commit- tee (4). [48] Ellen Mary Tommila Her heart is true as steel Ellen is an industrious girl who did well in her studies, and worked every other week in the Safety Fund Bank. Bein?; an all-around sport she enjoys skating, hiking, swimming, and last, but not least, dancing. She appears rather quiet, but reallv is a most pleasant person to know. Girls' Hockey Team (3). Anita Jane Towie As merry as the day is long Things surely hum when Anita is around. She does not always talk, but once she starts, you might as well raise the white flag. She was very fond of studying and was always seen carrying many books ? Anita is interested in sports and is especially fond of moving pictures. She may train to be a dietitian. Glee Club (3). Loren Henry Tupper 0, he dances such a way I Loren's red ringlets caused a great deal of controversy at Fitchburg High. We often wonder how he curls them. Rags? Maybe! But for all that, Loren certainly enjoys dancing. Does he ever miss a dance? Of course there's a thunderous No ! Within a few years, Loren plans to enter Rider College and win many honors which will surely place Shirley on every map. Annie Ruth Walker Kind hearts are more than coronets Kindliness, helpfulness, loyalty, are a few of Annie's at- tributes. It makes no difference when one disturbs her, she is always ready to listen. For six years Annie has been a true Girl Scout, worthy of all those merits she won. As an actress and soloist, Peg certainly has proved herself of great value to the Scouts of Westminster. Priscilla 'Warner A just deportment, manners graced with ease Priscilla's silvery blond hair, sweet face, and dainty man- ners, have made her a favorite among her classmates. On the whole, she is very, very quiet, but once in a while, quite suddenly, we hear her sweet tinkling laugh. Priscilla was busy every other week helping Miss Dunn. Because of her experi- ence in Fitchburg High School and her fine capabilities, it is inevitable that she will become a splendid stenographer in the future. AinI Vivian Wartiainen Beautiful as sweet; Young as beautiful This little blue-eyed blonde from Westminster made a good record in Spanish for she won the second prize for second year Spanish one year. She is always cheerful and her sweet, smiling face is a welcome sight to see. Track (3). Eleanora Fraser West A reasoning, self sufficient thing An intellectual all-in-all If you are in doubt about anything of fame, ask Eleanora. If she doesn't know, who does? She has proved a model student. In spite of her spending a great deal of time read- ing and studying, we know Eleanora devoted much tim ? to the Scouts and the Order of the Rainbow. Her sincerity and understanding have gained her many friends. Lucile Elizabeth West A spirit of the everlasting day, alert, elate, and confident that life is good Actor, orator, athlete. She is one of high ideals and loyalty. Not wholly occupied with the problems of the world, she is buoyant and spontaneous, a veritable Robin Hood. We must admit that Lucile is a dreamer, but what does that matter; her good-luck fairy is always near to bring her out on top. Would that we all knew the secret of being free as the wind . Dramatic Club, Track (2-3), Basket Ball (2-4), French Club (3), Class Play (4). Andrew John Whelan Laugh -idth a vast and inextinguishable laughter Andrew Whelan is a boy with high ambitions. He was one of our basket ball players and played a fine game. Andrew took an active part in short plays and debates. Because of his genial smile and broad sense of humor, Andy was one of the most popular bovs in the school. Dramatic Club (3), Basket Ball, Class Play (4). Ronald James Whitmore were but little happy, if I could say ho'ju much Underneath Red's rather modest exterior, beats the friend- liest heart in the world. Contrary to popular belief, flaming locks don't always herald a quick temper. We hear that the opposite sex has no attraction for Ronald, but somehow, wc have our doubts. Junior Relay Team (3). Earle Stetson Whitney am very fond of the company of ladies Earl, though slow in his studies, is canny in his friend- ships. He tells us his weakness is a woman, but we really don't have to be told. He is frequently seen walking home with a fair member of our class. During his spare time he worked at Kennedy's butter store. He expects to become a big butter and egg man. Junior Relay Team (3), Football, Baseball. Judith Wikstedt Where did you get those eyes so blue? Judy is our beloved blue-eyed, golden-haired sweetheart. Her quiet, unassuming manners and excellent style made her a favorite among all. Judith is one of our finest dancers. At a school dance she can always be found in the midst of a group of boys. Hockey is Judy's favorite sport and she has served admirably as captain of the team. Besides gracing Hudson's store on Saturdays, she lent her services to the school library every other week. Hockey Team (2-3). 150] Matilla Matalene Wilder The only way to have a friend is to be one Quiet and serious seems Matilla, but her bright blue eyes and quick smile belie her ofttimes sober mien. She likes all sorts of sports and what with clerking at Woolworth's we imagine there is little leisure time for Matilla. Augustus Henry Wiley A fine lad with a fac as round and full as the moon The Band and Orchestra are Gus's hobbies. It takes a bis man to play a Sousaphone and Gus easily filled the bill. Though Gus is striving for a musical career, he could just as well be a landscape gardener considering the experience he has obtained from his outside work. Band (2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3), Manager of Juniors in Junior Relav Team (3), Librarian of Orchestra, History Play (4). ' Oliver Henry Williams Happy am I: from care I'm free I Why aren't they all contented like me? Oliver's outside work was trying to study. He entertained us much with his harmonica and tap dancing. He enjoys physical culture the most ; his ideal of perfect manhood if Apollo. Oliver is setting a high mark for his future, ana we hope he will make good. Dramatic Club, Band (2). Marjorie Louise Wolff Some like work; some like fun. I'm for both Tubby, as she is called by her intimate friends, is noted for the dimple in her chin, her chic appearance, and coal black hair. We wonder often whether Marge liked her ride from Shirley every morning. Maybe not. When it came to a football game, Tubby was sure to be there in her blue roadster. She was one of our part-timers and took dictation from Mr. Hubbard every other week. Marjorie certainly en- joys swimming, skating, and, of course, dancing. Horace Granville Wright 'Tis better to be brief than tedious Horace certainly didn't bother anyone in school. He went about his work quietly, without any deviations from his course. Indeed, we doubt that even a girl could stop him. He was interested in gym work and stamp collecting. He liked track, especially running, for he was one of the boys who did so well against the Seniors last year in the Relay. Junior Relay Team (3). [51 ] FOOTBALL SQUAD Top Row — PaduU.

SYNOPSIS Andrew Aiken, a druggist, encouraged by his family, sells his drug-store and becomes a man of leisure. But he soon discovers this new life does not suit him. He becomes irritable and ill-tempered. His younger daughter Sue elopes with the wealthy Terry Ellis in order to escape the home life which her father makes unbearable for her. Even serious Janet, in love with Colin Milburn, rebels against her father's management of family affairs. Janet and her mother secretly plan to get Andrew to take back his store. Andrew also secretly plans to purchase the store, for he realizes that here with his old pals he can be happy and merry once more. The intentions of both sides are revealed by Norcross, the present owner of the store who has been consulted by Aiken, his wife, and daughter. Andrew finally repurchases his old store, and gets another into the bargain.

No books, no homework, but it won't be long now! Will I do them? 6. Pictures of two famous High School graduates (Judge James Thomas Malone, F. H. S., 1884, and Col. Edward S. Malone, F. H. S., 1893) were presented to the school. 9. The full length periods began today. Were they long? Oh boy, I'll say so! 10. The Senior election results are as follows: President, Bob Arnott; vice-president, Doris Pender; secretary, Dorothy Geiger; treasurer, Stephen Woodbury. 12. The little Sophomores had an assembly. Oh, what a drag! 13. Friday, the thirteenth. It speaks for itself! 16. We were greatly grieved at hearing of the sudden death of Miss Stratton. 18. Senior chorus today. The boys got rather rough. I apologize for them. 19. Whoopee! First Senior assembly. The class officers were introduced and each made a speech. 20. I wonder when Eddie Sullivan broke his seat if he was practising football in the English class. 21. First football game. We won! 23. The first Monday morning assembly was held. A tribute was paid to Miss Stratton. 25. The Juniors elected the following officers: President, Veikko Pasanen; vice-president, Mary Cassidy; secretary, Betty Drake; treasurer, Laurence Scanlon. 26. Junior assembly. The officers spoke. 27. Senior chorus today and I thought I was going to have a nice study period! But then — Doris Pender and Leo McGuirk were some song leaders! The way Leo wiggled that pencil! 28. Another victory in football. F. H. S., 14; Worcester North, 0. 30. Class dues today. I ought to pat myself on the back for remembering to bring my money. OCTOBER 1. The Seniors chose Bergroth as class photographer. I'm in no great hurry to see my picture. 3. John Allaire and Bob Arnott seen looking at some of the Norcross pictures in the hall. The first time in history anyone has been seen looking at them! 4. A rally today before the Medford game! That was some speech Ed Sullivan made. 5. Medford won, but how our boys fought! 7. What a feeling when you have to go on the platform to speak. Oh! 8. Gee, this is the life — doing experiments in Chem. in groups instead of alone! 10. We didn't have to come to school this morning till 9.45. Here's hoping this will happen more often so we can get our beauty sleep. The reason for this fortunate incident was the burying of a box of documents at Upper Common to be opened in 2029. See you there! 12. Columbus Day would fall on Saturday! 14. My home room has started having its pictures taken. The students, I mean. 15. A new rule for passing. Up the girls' stairway, down the boys'! It certainly makes us do some thinking. 16. Senior chorus today. Mr. Bouvier said that songs used to be written for the heart, but are now written for the feet. True enough! 17. Senior Color Day. Isn't blue and gold wonderful? 18. A snappy football rally. New pep, new cheers, new music! Wasn't it a grand and glorious feeling? 21. Marks go in this week. I wonder why all the frowns? 22. A special assembly was held, and I didn't go. Am I sorry? Yes! Speeches, and moving pic- tures! 23. Junior chorus. Can you hear them warble? 24. Bosk's Musical Maniacs, recently escaped from East Gardner, performed at the Junior assembly today. 25. Report cards are out! Well, anyway, the suspense is over. 28. Another chance to show your worth. A promise is a promise, so I'm for better marks. 29. Well, the girls are at it again. What? Dusting the assembly hall floor of course. 30. Big crash in the stock market! Mr. Hubbard has to borrow a dime from Mr. Howard for lunch. 31. The Seniors are fast fading out of sight. The Sophs had chorus yesterday. NOVEMBER 1. Three cheers — a holiday! Teachers' Convention. They ought to have more of them. 4. Will wonders ever cease? All my lessons done! 6. I guess the teachers have a heart after all. No homework! 7. A Sophomore Assembly! Where do we Seniors come in? 11. Notice to girls! Watch out for slivers in Gym. The floors are rough. 12. A busy day. Oh, for Aladdin's Lamp. My lessons would have been done. 13. At last, Senior chorus! And popular songs too. 14. Senior assembly. Good things do come at the same time. 15. Another week gone. I had better start saving up my pennies for Christmas. 19. At last I received an invitation to the daily Tea in '26. Many friends were present. 20. Embarrassing moments. Bea Allen broke her beads in class. 21. The boys heard the Diary of a Real Boy. Now they're wondering what the Diary of a Real Girl is like. [77] 22. Another happy day. No homework! 25. The first of the educational Posters appeared today. This read, Who said Can't . 27. Enthusiastic? I should say! Some football rally before the Leominster Game. 28. Oh, shucks! Leominster did have luck. Score, 6 to 0. 29. A day to recuperate after a football game, a turkey dinner, and a Thanksgiving dance. DECEMBER 2. It must be quite the fashion to have a cold by all appearances! Red noses? Of course! 4. Notice: Christmas vacation is from Dec. 20 to July 2. Whoopee! 5. What a shame yesterday's notice was wrong. Who could have made the mistake? 9. General assembly. Pleasant news for all! The tests for the second marking are to begin. Gaffeney and McCormack are beginning to assume temporary airs of seriousness. IL What shall I do after I graduate? is the mournful cry, almost a wail, heard throughout the Senior rooms. 12. Mr. Perkins demonstrates a machine to his chem. classes. It is perfectly all right except for one thing, as he says, it doesn't work! 13. What a lucky day Friday the thirteenth turned out to be! I was absent from school. Did I miss anything? 16. Featuring exams. Cast of characters — All classes. 19. At a time like this, in a place like this, les pla'tsanteries of Billy Burns and his cool green sweater are a comfort. 20. Time: winter. Scene: F. H. S. What is going on? Pupils departing for a 7 day leave. Purpose: To bring back smiles effaced by the little white cards given habitually every eight weeks. JANUARY 2. Let's start the new year right by stock-taking as Mr. Chalmers suggested. 3. The Juniors received their rings. While pretty, they can't beat ours! 6. Over 200 cases of tardiness in December. I don't wonder when I recall those slippery days. 7. Have you seen the booklets Miss Brown's English classes are making? Gosh, I wonder how chances are of going on one of those tours! 8. With what fervor the boys sang, Three Blind Mice, in chorus today. 10. The Holy City is to be presented again. This was the announcement made at the gen- eral assembly. All with talent were asked to remain. I rushed out! 14. I guess the week end was too strenuous because I was late this Monday morning. 16. I didn't walk to school this morning. No siree. I slid — and how!!! 17. Well the new styles are slowly making their appearance in school. Points and whatnot? 20. The play presented by the Commercial students proved very eijtertaining. Mr. Holt pro- vided the humor. 23. Senior assembly. Congratulations to Frances Allen for her march. 27. I hear that the Commercial students are getting ready to reap the honors for the English Essay! 29. It is reported that Mr. Butler is bothered by knocks — the steampipes. 31. The Mid- Winter Dramatic cup was awarded to the Juniors. [78] FEBRUARY 3. Only thirty cents left in the bank because I purchased a class book today. But Mary Taylor has only three pennies left! 4. My day of days spoiled by an invitation to the social gathering in 26. 5. Strenuous work on my English essay sent me off to sleep. 7. Mr. Butler asks questions to make the pupils think, but the questions make them thick instead. 12. The Seniors gave a very entertaining musical program today. 13. Fire drill. A young lady was inclined to be rather slow so Mr. Howard opened a window in 47 and asked her to jump. Considerate? 14. Valentine Day.

PRICELESS Senior Play, ''Tea for Two ' Banned Mayor Casimo Forbids Pro-' duction in Grove Street Hall Mayor Casimo today startled local Thespians by forbidding the produc- tion of Mary Taylor's famous play. Tea for Two , which was to be given as the annual offering of the Senior Class of the High School. This play has been given with marked success in many states and hamlets of Mid- dlesex and Worcester counties. It ran three n ights at Sterling Junction; a whole week at Ayer; and two nights and a matinee at Townsend Harbor. The mayor said. I regard this play as deleterious to the moral and physical health of our youth. It is well known that tea contains an injurious substance called tannin. Furthermore the play will lead our young people to adopt the effeminate and time-wasting practise of after- noon tea. It is also un-American as it is widely practised by the bally Eniglish, you know. Miss Elizabeth Stearns, leading lady of the company, was highly indignant when seen by the reporter. To think that the inhabitants of Pitch- burg will not have the opportunity of seeing this great play and partic- ularly my art which has been ap- plauded by the cosmopolites of Ash- by and other metropolitan centers of our country positively makes me ill. and madame burst into tears. The following among others have signed a huge protest which will be presented shortly to the mayor: Miss Scanlon. Modiste; Judge Oinonen; Mr. Adler of Adier. Burns, and Cooke. Counsellors-at-law; Miss Ada Hough- ton of Sullivan and Houghton. Dry Goods and Notions; Miss Marjorie Ferris of Fitchburg's Fine Furriers. Stage and Screen Chatter Word has been received that Paul Smith has passed a succfssful screen test, and will shortly be seen with Silver King. The Bustin' Broncho featuring Cowboy Williams, was recently re- leased by the R. C. A. studios and will play at Rossi's Universal. Watch for it. Miss Irene Dufort will have the lead in The Campus Flirt. There is also a small dog in the play. New Books Added to Our Library The Technique of Singing Bob Cushing How to Play Football Ed. Sullivan Beauty Secrets Helvi Orava The Art of the Stage Dot Potter LOWELL AND CHALMERS PURCHASE PLAYGROUND Plan Recreation Field for Kiddies Mr. Richard Liowell and Mr. James Chalmers, Jr., have placed their heads together and at last thought of an idea. Strange, but true. The gentle- men have purcha.sed recently a tract of land back of the old City Stables where our young surveyors hope to erect some sort of a recreational field for the children of F. H. S. and Seniors. An iron stadium having a capacity of 90.099 people is in view. Parking space will also be available. A 10 mile dirt track for future relay races will be started soon. The foot- ball diamond will contain one half of the field, and the baseball gridiron the other. A tennis court will be thrown in here and there to fill space. Several local and out of town con- tractors have given their bids, as follows: McAulifC and Moran (local), $15,873; Colpitts (Shirley), $18,267; McCor- mac.k and Oaffeney (West Fitchburg), $14,693; Shane and Rosen (local), $20,989. THE BEARS ARE LOOSE AGAIN (Special to the Scrap Book) A9HBY FOUR CORNERS, Feb. 29— There was another wild session of the market today with prices of nearly all stocks tumbling according to a report received at the local office of Lowell and Thompson, Brokers, at Boyle Court. Cleverly' s Fly Traps Inc. fell 15 points; Cons. Buttonholes, 10; Swedish Laundries Com. (.Sullivan and Bi- coules. Props.) 5; Dignam Oil, 12; Tar Hill Utilities, 38. The Street was filled with sold-out bulls among whom were recognized Earl Brunt and James Chalmers, the boy spender of the South Side. At 1:45, the suspension of the firm of MoCormack and McKenna was an- nounced. The firm has been the backer of the Fitchburg Model (an imitation of the real thing) Airways Co., John Bosk. Pres. Arnott's Delikatessen SAUERKRAUT PUMPERNICKEL WEINERWURST Notables Gather at Gala Opening of Bodanza's Night Club Many of our prominent citizens and residents last night attended the for- mal opening of our new night club in the Majestic block. Texas Guinan Ashe, the club's charming hostess, greeted one and all with extended arms and good wishes for a happy new year. The club was beautifully decorated in green and pink set off by black and blue furnished by the patrons. Music was furnished by John Bosk, the boy crooner and his Moaning Maniacs. Bob Arnott assured the club his heartiest support every Saturday night after work. The Special novelties of the evening were as follows: 1. Minuet in X composed especial- ly for the occasion by Madame Frances Zippy Bang Crash played by Gus Wiley and his piccolo. 2. Orchestral selection — omitted by request. 3. Song: duet Lover Come Back to Me. (Ed Sullivan and Florence Dag,gett.) 4. Tap Dance by Loren Tupper. Among those present we noticed at one table Gertrude Bills attired smartly in a black velvet gown trail- ing the floor, with an ostrich feather artistically draped on her side. Near by sat Leonard Adler dressed in a shiny black frock coat. Seated beside him was Sally Aalto, who. to s-et off her blonde beauty, was gowned in an exquisite tone of garnet. Harold J. Burns in trim evening' clothes of black and white made the fourth at this table. Others present were of no conseiiuence. HIGHLIGHTS OF TEA FOR TWO The Author: Miss Mary Taylor who has always been noted among the literati for her volubility and self- assertiveness. Subject: The censorship committee appointed by Mayor Casimo is Stephen Woodbury, Maude Mc- Gee. and Eleanora West who agree with the mayor in regard- ing tea drinking as highly ef- feminate, if not inervating. Summary: The case will be brought before a jury of twelve men good and true, consisting of Robert Anderson, and others of less im- portance. THE SENIOR SCRAP BOOK SENIORS HOLD ASSEMBLY President Arnott Presides at Varied Program The Senior cla.ss of our local alma mammy, P. H. S. held their final assembly last Thursday in the basket ball court. Amid cheers and applause Pres. Arnott opened the meeting while silence reigned over the throng. The first number on the progiam was a dance by Cowboy Williams from back yonder. The second attempt was made by Elliot Buskey (our own Rudy Vallee) who sang tlie Crossroads. And next Primo Camera Allaire en- tertained with the cornet. His selec- tion was. Kill Me Again, on the Double Flute. Before closing Pres. Arnott an- nounced that The Mid-Summer Con- cert would take place at the City Stables at S o'clock Friday. LOCALS The Don't Worry Club which meets with fits and spasms will convene to- night with Elvie Siipola, the worthy president. Francis McAuliff, formerly of F. H. S., has accepted a position on Charlie Darling's farm in order that he might count the feathers on a chicken. Kresge's store will be closed Sat- urday which means a number of girls of this vicinity will not eat n ext week. Billy Burns is saving Good Will Soap wrappers so he can get a rifle free. Don't throw away your wrap- pers. Give them to William. Helen Johnson will exhibit this year at the artists' colony at Fort Pond. Here only the felite of the artists' guild assemble each year to show their masterpieces. Tony Casimo. gifted with a daz .ling smile, has accepted a position with the I.iisterine people advertising their fragrant product. Mr. Elliot Buskey, who received his famous hot-dog training at Whalom last summer, has joined forces with Mr. Frank Leger. Mr. Leger received his training under the skilled super- visor of the H. S. lunches. Miss Mc- Intyre. MORGNER, INC. ROBES ET IVIANTEAUX 14 Broad Street Shirley Society Girl Buys New Car Miss Marjorie Wolff of the Shirley Downs has jjurchased the latest Ford model. It is etiuipped with 2 extra strong bumpers which Marjie of all people needs. The body is a delicate nile green with pink trimmings. Her initials are done in purple; on each mudguard there is a splash of red. All in all, it is one of the most marvelous creations jn the Shirley roads. Review of Current Magazines The latest issue of the Red and Gray has just appeared on the news-stands. As was usual for the past year the book has a cover with some sheets of white paper within, some defaced with printer's ink. and some left blank in their pristine purity. We prefer the latter personally as those pages are less of a strain on the intellect. We will pass over the advertise- ments as we are not interested in Kollege Kut Klothes or ankle sox. The leader for the month's issue is a story. Ribbons by Wendell Nye. It is a story of the loves of a tug boat captain and has a beautiful ar- rangement of commas, periods, and asterisks. The poets' corner presents three offerings of equal merit — all bad. A rondeau by Billy Burns on Look- ing out of 2G ; a rondel by Lucille French and a villanelle by Katherine Brown on The Ingredients of Vege- table Soup. The Athletic section has some breezy accounts by the department editor Tauno Salminen of a chess game between the local team of Robert Anderson, Clayton Cleverly, Veikko Marshall and that representing Lunenburg High which is expected to end next September, toigether with pictures of Duncan MacLean, local checker champion and the play-off be- tween William Gillis representing the Seniors and Howard Rome of the Junior class in the horseshoe pitching tournament. A new deijartnient in this issue is the True Story with feature articles on Selling Gas, by George Dignam; How 1 Create a Style. by Judith Wikstedt; My Histrionic Triumphs. by Leo McQuirk; The Charm of Fine Manners, by Elvie Siipola. FRANCES ALLEN PIANIST-COMPOSER Love Songs Written Studio — Boston State Road Highlights on the Washing- ton Trip By Roguish ) ulh and Elfin Elvie Bob Houghton showed us his ability as a marathon runner for on the trip to the Luray Caverns when the bus had engine trouble, he spied some violets along the roadside and decided to pick them. In the meantime the bus started off with Bob left behind. He ran about 300 yards in hot pursuit of the bus. One afternoon Ruth Morgner, being very tired, stayed at the hotel while the rest of the party went to An- napolis. She slept all afternoon and when she decided to go down to the lobby, she found the door locked on the outside. The chambermaid had locked her in. On the boat trip from Providence to New York, Bob Houghton brought from home his lunch, which consisted of hard boiled eggs and the like. One egg remained from the lunch which Bob saved until his return trip on the boat, one week later, when he de- voured it. Some unknown person asked Nunzie Celona if he were the ijorter because he was always seen carryiagi 3 or 4 suit cases. Winona MacKay broke a spring in her bed as she lightly hopped into it. Clayton Cleverly was a member of the I. O. U. list at the end of his journey. He hadn't figured on meeting people from Newton. Some of us were playing bridge while on the train. Several cards were missing which were later found in the cuff of Nunzie's trousers. So that's the kind of a boy he is! Many souvenirs were collected on the trip. Among them was a set of half a dozen soup spoons from the different hotels. Fond remembrances! Bob Anderson did a lot of corre- sponding. Post cards at the hotels were free. Two notes on food when on the steamer Lexington: please remember that th' only kind o' coffee we serve on this 'ere boat is black coffee. No! — And fish? — No Ma'am, we'se havin' trout tonight. .Sailing down the Potomac With camp stools for deck chairs We saw the scen'ry and stroll'd on deck . nd found a planner below the stairs. We also found a bar at which We got some salt and spread it. The floor. I say, was sliprish And — we tripped a light fantastic! If. on a stormy night, you are awakened by a sound of a bang above, and the next moment someone's frame is haiiigiing over the upper berth, it's usually your bunk-mate. Ask Ruth. Did you know Bob Cushing's tele- phone number was 2S1 Green Apple? You've heard of pajama parties. How about this? A pajama gab-gab. When staying at a hotel, stick your head out of the window, call or whistle for a friend across the way. The re- sults are amazing. You should hear Frannie Allen's voice at night. And Annapolis! The line of women, including Marj, taking pictures of the beautiful young men is interminable, but sopiehow diminishes after the aforementioned change to high waters, dinky caps, and soiled jerseys. Imagine our surprise, when we walked into the Pan American Build- ing to find Mr. Herbert P. Sullivan already there talking to the cuckoos. -Always carry caramel.s — not camels. They are good weights. If you must communicate with someone — even from an airplane, tie a caramel to the missile and — let it drop. One warning — don't hit any unnecessary objects on the viny down. A list of the latter may be secured from Esther. WHY IS IT? That you think of the right answers just after handing in your paper? That you laugh and the class laughs with you, but you stay after school alone? That a perfectly good composition comes back with so many scars of battle? That the teacher never fails to look at you in the very act? That when you are late for school your shoe lace breaks? That you think you are the smartest in class, but teacher thinks differently? That you think you have killed the exam, when the teacher marks it an E? BELIEVE IT OR NOT. Freddy Thompson uses green ink because it matches the majority of his ties.
