Ronald Frederic Gilbert His discourse u as like tiny drops of water, but meant oceans We didn't hear much from Ronald Gilbert during his High School career. Ronald studied hard, but didn't say much. He was an excellent student in Mechanical Drawing. Ronald hopes to go to a trade or textile school after working a year. William Joseph Gillis His own opinion was his law William Gillis, one of our foremost debaters, has appeared in several debates and short plays and has borne himself well throughout. William was no mean scholar and with a little more effort, could have been among the best of them. Gillis was also very active in sports, and was a member of the football team. Foctball (2-3-4), Debating Club (3-4), Senior Class Play. Marion Frances Gorman Come, pensive Nun, devout and pi4re. Sober, steadfast and demure Marion belongs to that group of quiet workers who have been in our class since we left B. F. Brown school. May you find enjoyment as well as enlightenment, Marion, in your course of study at the Wilfred Academy of Beauty Culture. Here we hope to visit you, as all members of the fairer sex do, when you are established on Prichard Street. Your chosen profession should be profitable. Dramatic Club (4). Barbara Louise Grant Who am be wise, amazed, temperate and furious, loyal and neutral in a moment Let's hope that Barbara, when she gets to be a telephone operator, will be careful about the numbers she gives. This year Barbara typewrote and sent out all the bills of the Nor- folk Store, Inc. Barbara's a devotee of dancing and swim- ing, too. Dramatic Club, Glee Club (3). Sarah Huldah Guilford awoke one morning and found myself famous Huldah was a bright part-time commercial student. When no one else could answer a question she could always be relied upon to save the honor of the class. She is as fond of good times as she is of getting A's and B's on her report card. Huldah plans to go to college and later to be an accountant. Monument Decoration Committee (2-3), Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (4). Elinor Josephine Hackett The sparkle of a dark eye is always a riddle Elinor makes a very pleasant clerk at M. T. Cummings Co. Every day after school for some reason or other she could be seen sitting with Carolyn on the pedestal opposite the post- office. Elinor was a faithful supporter of our football games and she even went to all the outside games. She is planning to go to Fitchburg Business College next year. [22]

Marjorie Esther Ferris The joy of youth and happlr.css her eyes displayed Marjorie lives away up on the hill back of High School i o that she can get to school quicker than most of us if she slips. She had let her hair grow, but has cut it again, thus proving that not everyone with long hair keeps it. Marjorie was an ardent hockey fan and for the last two years played on the girls' hockey team. Track (2), Hockey (2-3). Beatrice Evelyn Fitzroy A smile li-'ill go a long, lo:i luay Bea's smile is contagious, her enthusiasm refreshing, and her cheer never fails to comfort. Besides dancing and reading, Bea always has time for her music. Whatever her mood, she finds in her piano a constant and sympathetic friend. Dramatic Club (4). Barbara Elizabeth Francis Beauty is truth; truth, beauty Barbara's witty and often satirical remarks keep her inti- mate friends in constant high spirits and sometimes cause the lunch room to be filled with unrestrained howls of laughter. She has become a devotee of the new tap-dancing fad, and has entertained us several times with the fascinating rhythm of this dance. Barbara is so outspoken that you will receive no disguised or misleading words from her — she says what she means ! Dramatic Club, Junior-Senior Reception (3). Lucile Rebecca French To know her is to mderstand her The sign on her door always reads Busy. Her activities range all the way from singing in the village choir to playing the Irish maid in a stirring melodrama. To speak ill of red hair in her presence is a social error. Oratory is one of her accomplishments, and her musical talents are much sought after. Sincere, frank, and ambitious. French Club, Debating Club, Class Book Committee (4). James Andrew Gaffeney And let a schj.ar a'.l Earth's vo.umes carry, He will be but a walking dictionary Jimmie's formula for life must be happy-go-lucky for we certainly cannot find anything, not even an examination, that would destroy the smile on his face. Jimmie spent most of his time after school e.xperimenting with old cars, playing football or baseball, and sitting in Room 26. Dramatic Club, French Club (3). Catherine Agnes Gaynord Her smiling eyes with simple truth were stored Gentlemen are supposed to prefer blondes, but we are inclined to disbelieve this when we see the boys around Catherine. Her winning ways have won her many admirers among her classmates. Her afternoons are spent easing the pains of the stricken in a doctor's office. Catherine and Mar- garet are especially good friends as they both come from the same section. FHS nil lll|P 1 IP 'II - [21]

Lauretta Rose Hamel laugh, for hope hath happy place for me Lauretta is blessed with dimples. She is very fond of skat- ing and frequently could be seen at St. Joseph's Skating Rink. We know why Lauretta got to school early; her boy friend has a car. French Club (4). Raymond Joseph Hamel am as sober as a judge'' Raymond is a quiet member of our class who spent all his spare time working in the shoe department of Parke-Snow, Inc. He is interested in gathering pictures and record feats of strong men. Since he is interested in strength, health, and physical culture, we hope he will be able to follow this as his life work. Orchestra (2-3-4), Gym Team (4). Lily Alice Hancock H er pale blue eyes smiled constantly Lily is a quiet little girl with a crown of red hair. She came from Waites Corner, and made a daily dash for the morning trolley in order to arrive on time. Her favorite hangout in school was at the end of the corridor on the third floor, where, during lunch period, she held an animated conversation with her numerous friends. Ethel Delia Handley The enticing smile; the modest seeming eye Here she is ! Ethel swings a mean racket and never gets excited. She won the girls' tennis championship cup for two years. Ethel is planning on college next year, but has no def- inite one in mind. Girls' Tennis Championship (2-3). Marion Blanche Hanks Honesty is the best policy Like so many great p)eople, Marion comes from a small town. In her native Westminster, she spends her spare time saying Number, please and I'll ring them again. Marion is not gifted with a silver tongue and we only hear from her occasionally. We e.xpect in the future to see her reading tem- peratures and taking pulses for we have heard her express an ambition for the nursing profession. Francis Joseph Hanley Carefree as the wind am I Francis and his pals worry not at all. There may be les- sons, say they, but why cause distress by preferring one. Pink teas, however, are not in his line. Football, sayeth he, is a man's sport and therefore away went Francis to prac- tice. Swimming, too, engages his interest. When not in pursuit of these manly acts, his time is free, but that's all he savs. Football (2-3). [23]
