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]

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

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
