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]

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]

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.
