Harvey Edward David My talents run in many directions Harvey can put pep into a hundred students at a dance simply by tickling the keys of his beloved instrument, the piano. Harvey has shown what he can do outside of school by being a member of the interclass baseball teams and run- ning in the Junior-Senior Relay. Junior-Senior Relay (3), French Club (3-4). Margaret Dorothy Dennihan Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shine Margaret says she just loves Glee Club! No wonder she does, for music is one of her hobbies. She often entertained us at assemblies with her violin playing and her fine alto voice. Margaret is also fond of painting and dancing. She plans to enter the Nason Institute. Orchestra (2), Chairman, Junior Flag Committee, Junior- Senior Reception (3), Concert Mistress and Librarian of Or- chestra (3-4), Secretary and Treasurer Art Club (3-4), Senior Musicale, Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Marshal (4). Dana Edwin Dickinson Smooth words make smooth ways Dana does more or less hard work, at least, he works hard outside of school. He spends his afternoons in the office of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette where we hear he has a rather lucrative job. Dana is a quiet boy and takes girls as matter of fact, but he enjoys a bit of fun every now and then, in school as well as outside. George Francis Dignam My only books. Were woman's looks. And folly's all they've taught me George is that good-looking fellow who shone at all our socials. He peddled gasoline as an avocation. Noted for his easy-going ways and excuses. Dramatic Club (2). Bertram Ernest Donais A good reputation is a great charge Bertram, one of the smaller members of our class is an ardent sportsman, although he did not participate in school sports. His hobby is raising dogs and in this we sympathize with him. We also hear that he is interested in a young, dark- eyed, and talented violinist of the orchestra. Domenica Anna Drago A gentle maid with quiet modest ways Quiet and unassuming, Domenica goes about her daily tasks with an ever-ready smile and friendly greeting. To expound the mysteries of reading, riting, and 'rithmetic is her ambition and her svmpathetic nature will aid her success. Glee Club (3). 19

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).

FHS Bernardine Ida Driscoll Give me romance, and I'll dispense With the rodomontade of common sense. Debating is one of Bernardine's marked abilities and with- out her the strength of the Debating Club would have been decidedly lessened. Her power of argumentation is not entirely confined to the club for an occasional glance in Room 26 dur- ing lunch period has shown her holding spirited conversation with some attentive male listener. Open Meeting (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Debating Club (2-3-4), French Club (3-4), Glee Club, Prize Debate (4). Irene Elizabeth Dufort Those eyes, soft and capacious like a cloudless sky We used to hear this mellow-toned songster trilling in our assemblies, but for some years now she has deprived us of that pleasure. She was an eager participant in our club life and an enthusiastic football fan. Vice-President French Club, Vice-President Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Marshal, May the Maiden (4). Vincent Elliott Vinnie's bent certainiy must be mechanical, since he is apprenticed as a draftsman at Simond's Saw and Steel Co. He finds great delight in fooling with contraptions such as auto- mobiles and machinery. His plan is to complete his appren- ticeship, which is to last approximately one year and a half. He tells us that he keeps fit by climbing mountains. Armas Victor Erkkila Sturdy, faithful, and versatile — a« example of manhood Armas is a natural student to whom studies come easily. Then again, Armas was a star track athlete, and chairman of athletics on the Red and Gray. To fill up his spare time, Armas worked outside, practised the piano, banjo, and clarinet, played in several orchestras, and what have you ! But Armas thinks he's shirking, and next year is going to take a course at Worcester Tech. on top of all the rest! Red and Gray (3), Orchestra (3-4), Chairman of Athletics, Red and Gray, Band, Class Book Committee (4). John Joseph Esielionis A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident lomorrowsl Johnny is one of our fair-haired idols, a jocund, happy-go- lucky sort of fellow. Although John lives a long distance from the city, he arrives bright and early, each morning for school. He manages his job as clerk and chief-butcher of Shirley mighty well. In his spare moments, John likes to fish, trap, and hunt. Glee Club, Operetta, Junior Relay (3), Senior Class Play (4). Lauri William Eskeli Trying to find out anything about Lauri s private life is like peeling an orange without breaking the skin. However, we do know that Lauri can draw a wicked bow in the orchestra. In school we find him an intensely attentive pupil. For recrea- tion, beside studying, Lauri acts as clerk at the Co-operative Grocery Co. Orchestra (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4), Football team, Squad B (3), Football (4). [20]
