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.

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

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).
