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

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]

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.
