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]

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]

Gertrude Kyllikki Hannula A noble mind with a noble heart Gertrude is a real ruralite. In this day and age when we all are or want to be city dwellers, she lives on a real farm. When in the grades, she played volley ball every chance she got so that now it has become her hobby, with basket ball a close second. Walton Albert Harris Women? I never heard of them before, what are women like? Walton is one of our country lads, but he managed to get to school every morning providing the Shirley bus was run- ning. We hear, too, that he did a little more than his share in keeping the Limited in a continual upheaval. We often won- der when Walton did his studying for if he wasn't out riding in his huge bespattered car, he was sure to be out hunting. He intends to go to Burdett College. Glee Club (2-3). Helen Gorman Hassett Intermingle jest with earnest Helen may seem serious, but when you come to know her, you discover that she is just as full of fun as anyone else. Her hobbies are reading, swimming, and boating. She has a canoe, and often last summer we saw her out canoeing on Lake Winnekeag. Helen e.xpects to go to Law School, prob- ably Portia in Boston. Shirley Libby Hatch Her cheeks mantle with mirth Class rooms and study halls would be peculiarly unfamiliar without Shirley's expressive giggle. Judging by her report card, we would say that Shirley knows her Spanish. In a few years hence when we feel the need of a few sugar coated pills to cure our ailments, we may visit Dr. Shirley Hatch, for such is to be her chosen profession. Glee Club (3). Priscilla Elizabeth Healey laugh'd, and danc'd and talk'd and sang Priscilla evidently likes children as she was often seen walking with some in her Junior year, but we think that she later changed her views upon the subject. Priscilla was a loyal supporter of the High School football games. We noticed that she attended the games this year with an ex-football plavcr. She is also fond of tennis and swimming. Glee Club (3). Senia Mary Heikkila Cheerful company shortens the miles Senia is outstanding in girls' sports. She was on the Basket Ball, Volley, and Track Teams. She also excelled in skating and swimming. She is a quiet, cheerful girl. . cro.ss word has never been heard from her lips. Senia is bright in her studies. Basket Ball, Volley Ball, Track (3). [24]
