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.

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.

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]
