Edward Simpson Hooper Modest, yet all of a king is he Eddie is one of the stellar athletes of our class. He shone in class as well as on the gridiron or cinder path. Eddie ran the best time for our class in last year's Junior-Senior race. We hope he will repeat his fine performance again this year. We understand Eddie likes the fairer sex, but is rather timid in showing anv inclination toward them. Basket Ball' (2-3), Track, Football (3). Ada Madeline Houghton know it is a sin, for me to sit and grin Ada is dark-haired, very attractive, and gay. She was very popular, and had a host of friends of both sexes. You never saw Ada with a frown on her face. Ada was undoubtedly one of the outstanding girl athletes in the school. She is fond of all sports, and starred especially in hockey, basket ball, volley ball, and track. Track (2-3), Basket Ball, Hockey, Volley Ball (2-3-4). Robert Hayes Houghton Men of quality are above wit Do not allow vourself to be deluded by thinking that Rob- ert isn't a busy boy. He is planning to go to Worcester Tech. and is getting the marks to enter yet without forgetting other activities. Outside of school, when he wasn't working in the stock-room of the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Company, he was either skating, swimming, or trading stamps, all accord- ing to the season. Ring Committee (3), French Club (4). Everett Frederick Innerasky His talents are of a more silent class Everett is quiet and not boastful, but he was one of the pillars of our art department. His taste and skill may be seen in some numbers of our Red and Gray and even in the Class Book. His greatest hobby is drawing, of course, but skating and tennis are also enjoyed by this boy artist. Squad B Football, Palette Club, Councillor, Assistant Man- ager Baseball (3), Manager of Baseball, Red and Gray Board (4). Josephine Jenny Jarski A merry heart goes all the day You can't miss Josie in a crowd because of her red, red hair! Whenever Cline's orchestra plays at a Shirley dan'-e, Josie is sure to be there. She worked for Mr. Howard every other week, but regardless of part-time dignity, we could hear her hearty laugh resound from one end of the corridor to the other. She was an enthusiastic rooter at the football games. In addition to her fondness for dancing, she enjoys playing checkers with Shirlev Hatch. Glee Club (3). Armas Donald Jarvela Young fellows will be young fellows! .Armas's influence at the Sentinel gave many an athlete a good writeup. The basket ball and baseball teams seemed to get the best advertising. He spent more time with his gang than with his studies. Armas's motto is Never trouble trouble. Basket Ball (2-3-4), Baseball (3-4). 26

She also worked at Brockelman Brothers on Sat- urday at the Candy Counter. She is a member of the Turn- verein and is a good athlete. She plans to work in an office when she graduates. Virginia Heywood Such easy greatness, such a graceful port Ginny has gone through High School doing her share in several activities. Her dancing is to be remembered when we recall operettas and entertainments. We have often heard her sing and have also read her stories in the Red and Gray. Ginny's amiable self and pleasing personality, her ever ready willingness to help, prove her interest in her friends and her work. Dramatic Club, Glee Club (2-3-4), Belle of Barcelona, Pickles (3), Annual Concert, Festival of Bagdad (4). Hilkka Tuulikki Hietaranta Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed Hilkka and Sally got their morning exercise by walking to school from away out Blossom Street. Hilkka likes dancing very much and spends her Saturday nights at the dances. During the afternoons Hilkka acted as bookkeeper for a garage on Mechanic street. Glee Club (3). Margaret Mary Hilferty Grace is in all her steps! Heaven in her eye Margaret is one of the vivacious femmes of the class. Pretty, charming, a good dancer, and possessing a lively sense of humor, she is very popular with her classmates. We hear the chosen one is a working boy ! She spends most of her spare time chasing balls on the Alpine Golf Course. Glee Club, Operetta (3). Mary Hird She is a winsome loee thing Our Mary is a petite, unobtrusive person. She is happy with her friends whom she has won, with her beautiful smile and gentle manners. She worked, studied, and took part in activities with quiet enjoyment, laughing inwardly, we fear, at the silly bustle of the rest of us. She plans to go to Normal school and to take up the irksome business of teaching. French Club, Dramatic Club, Glee Club (4). Henry Heimo Hirvonen am a part of all that I have met Hennie, one of the few hunters of the High School, picks his game in the woods of Shirley, through which he has trudged endlessly in search of animals, fish, or fowl. He does his own photographing and develops his own proofs and prints. Through this medium, he has interested his friends at school in his hobbies. FHS [25]

Arthur Jalmari Jarvi Small in body, big in mind Arthur besides being one of the smartest in our class is one of the smallest. He was a delight to the teachers. Art is also a great baseball player and covered second base for our team with great skill. Baseball (3). Joseph Jurga A generous friendship no cold medium knows Joe was a hard worker and a fine sport in his high school work. His record showed an unbroken string of honor marks which really must be envied. Although Joe did not take part in High School basket ball, we hear he played some brilliant games in Shirley Center. To hunt and fish in some remote spot is a diverting occupation for Joe. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Helen Hagburg Johnson They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts Artistic Helen has won a warm place in the hearts of her classmates. She has a true sense of the artistic side of life, and is also endowed with much practical philosophy. Her name has often been seen on the honor roll. Dancing holds great allurements for Helen and after watching a few dances, we need not ask whv. Glee Club (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Palette Club, Class Book Committee (4). Paul Clifford Johnson Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony But organically I am incapable of a tune One does not have to be a musician to be a music lover. Paul Johnson plays no instrument other than the radio, but his love for music can't be beaten. As a rule Paul spent his afternoons clerking in an A P Store, studying, and tuning in. Freda Olga Kandianis Good order is the foundation of all good things Freda is one of our future young business women. She was a part-time pupil and worked in the library. She is athletic and went out for all sports. She and Mary are inseparable. Mav it always remain so. Hockey (2-3). Jalo Aatos Kauppinen Him for the studious shade, kind nature formed Jalo doesn't say much unless he is called upon, but don't get the mistaken expression that he doesn't know it. In fact, what he doesn't know about physics and chemistry can't be very important. Although he doesn't care so much for certain other subjects, he gets good marks. He works at his father's jewelry store on Main Street. Piano playing is his favorite sport, indoor or outdoor. [27]
