Maurice Julius Burwick ' He could on either side dispute Maurice was one of our busiest classmates and took part in many school activities. Besides his duties as a member of both school publications and the tennis team. Maurice found time to become one of our most promising actors in the Dramatic Club. He also discovered the Debating Club a con- venient outlet for his argumentative abilities. His sense of humor and easy conversation gained for him many friends amone both sexes. Maurice was planning to attend Tufts College where we wish him the best of success. Councillor (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Debating (2). French Club (2-3-4), Tennis (2-3), Junior-Senior Relay (3), Red and Gray Board (4). Class Book, Senior Class Play. John Sebastian Cali He is always in such perfect humor John, we must say, certainly possessed a good sense of humor. He was constantly amusing the 6th hour chemistry class with his witty sallies. Even though he didn't seem to overexert himself, we know from observation of his recitations that he did studv. Debating Club (2). Anthony Bernard Celuzza A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind Tony was the rising Mark Antony of the Senior class — or almost. All joking aside, Tony showed dramatic possibilities to a marked degree in all his undertakings. A sense of humor well timed was uppermost in him. and Tony wa s often the center of a crowd of fun-loving pupils.

Ralph Albert Chamberlin am the very pink of courtesy Ralph's guiding flash-light was sure to usher us to our seats whenever we went to Shea's Theatre. He must have been a treasure to his employer, for girls from school always pre- ferred Shea's to any other theatre. At Christmas-time, he made a jolly Santa Claus at Parke Snow's, and he certainly gave us a big laugh. Ralph wanted to go to Annapolis. We certainly hope he gets there, because, he'd look great in his uniform. Daphne Louise Christian Circumstances over which I have no control Daphne was a short girl, with jet black hair. Her mischievou.- flashing eyes seemed to go well with her movements, for she simply jumped from one place to another. She was interested in athletics for girls, and her quick movements were an asset on a basket ball court. Picture Daphne in a little cap and a stiffly starched uniform, for she intended to go in training for a nurse next vear. Basket Bali (2-3-4), Track (2-3). Volleyball (2-3). Michael Anthony CiofB Time and I against any two Mike was very much interested in all school athletics, but particularly in baseball and football. He went out faithfully for baseball in his Sophomore and Junior years, with the re- sult that he was elected captain of the Senior baseball team. Such faithfulness is always rewarded — who knows but what he is aiming to occupy Babe Ruth's shoes. Everybody liked Mike for his cheerful outlook on life and — studies. Baseball (2-3-4). [ M ]

Dorothy Edith Bosk The gentleness of all the gods go with thee Dorothy was one of our most talented girls, for she danced with exceptional grace and proved her drawing ability by being chosen as chairman of the art department for the Class Book. We often heard one of Dot's chums say, What an adorable dress you have on, and would you believe it, Dot actually made it herself ! We were told by Dot's summer friends that she was a second Gertrude Ederle in the water. She played hockey and starred in our track meets and on the basket ball floor. We wish Dorothy loads of success as a dancing teacher. Hockev (2); Track (2-4); Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Basket Ball (3-4), Palette Club (4), Marshal (4), Class Book. Barbara Bonnely Boynton Xot much talk — a great sweet silence Barby was tall and fair. She lived up on the South side and patronized the F. L. regularly. She was fond of tennis and basket ball and displayed considerable skill in winter sports. She was also interested in music and was a member of the Girls' Glee Club. Barbara planned to finish her education at a business college. Glee Club (2-4), Dramatic Club (4). Rudolf Ralph Brandt Better to be happy than wise Rudolf was a trapper, hunter, and a fox rancher. That was a big list, and it demanded much time, which was shown on his report card. Red might not have known that Milton had thre3 wives, but he could tell you where the mink and muskrat stay, which made him richer than if he merely appreciated L'Allegro. The College of Hard Knocks was to be his future alma mater, and night life in an ancient hack was one of his failings. Florence Mary Brown She that was ever fair and never proud Florence w7as probably best known for her exceptionally fine work in art. This she showed by her illustrations and posters for the Red and Gray. Sophomore year she was a member of the French, Dramatic, and Palette Clubs. Last year she belonged to the Dramatic Club. French Club (2), Palette Club (2), Dramatic Club (2-3), Red and Gray Board (4). Marion Olivia Brown Virtue never grows old Marion was tall and fair. She had a pretty face and brown hair which she did up tightly at the nape of her neck. Her eyes were gray-blue and twinkling. Her gaze was very steady. Her hobby was reading and she was immensely interested in swimming and golf. Marion was a source of worry to Miss Miner because she preferred talking to typing. Mary Louise Burns Beauteous, she shines among the rest; tall, straight, slender, with all the Graces blest In Mary we found a pleasant personality. She had a charm- ing smile but a manner quite reserved. She made a fine center when she played basket ball during her Junior year. She in- tended to continue her studies in some business college.

Anna Clark She -was a woman of few words but when she spoke 'twas golden We all knew Anna, a plump merry person with a winnini smile. Study periods found her steadily at work, from which no interruption could rouse h;r. As a result of her labor she held an enviable record in all her c'asses. We heard she enjoyed hiking and swimming, and West Fitchburg, her home town, may well be proud of her in many ways. Her plans for mx; vear were uncertain, but she hoped to go to Normal School. Glee Club (2). Prisciila Louise Clark 'Her smile like sunshine darts into many a sunless heart Prisciila, one of our merry little blondes, wasn't very large, but she made up for it in other ways. We noticed that on cer- tain days, due to P iscilla's presence, Woolworth's S and 10 did a rushing business. We don't blame any of the patrons for liking her, for who wouldn't? She just loved to skate and dance, and there was no limit to her manv admirers. Basket Ball (4). Frances Lydia Clifford Be bold, be bold, and everywhere be bold! A lover of sports and proficient in all Frances easily over- came the members of the fair sex, and was no unworthy rival of the opposite. Her favorite sports were basket ball, volley ball, and skating. She moved her- way with an athletic stride about our halls, and greeted all with a hearty smile and vigor- ous slap on the back. She planned to be a bookkeeper or stenog- rapher, and with her sunny disposition and fine mind, she should make her way far along the road to success. Volleyball (3). Charles Lorenzo Corkum Fain would I climb, but that I fear to fall Corky was one of those chaps who spoke little, yet was aware of everything going on. After all the class had given up in despair over some problem, Corky quietly rose and reeled off the answer so perfectly that everyone gasped in admiration. This trait ought to prove a valuable asset later on. Outside activities consumed Corky's time and school activities held little interest for him. Barbara Evelyn Corliss Is she not passing fair? Barbara was a small dainty person with dark hair and a bewitching smile. She was fond of sports — hockey and basket ball. We wondered whether it was the game or a certain young man who played that accounted for her regular attend- ance at Friday night basket ball games. Football captains, too, had a strong attraction for Barbara. She took part bcth in the ''Holy City and the Messiah and seemed to enjoy singing in the Chorus with her fine alto voice. She had no plans for next year. Hockey (4), Basket Ball (4). Mary Arabella Currier With countenance demure and modest grace Belle, one of our modest maidens, was the fortunate pos- sessor of a sunny disposition and sweet smile. Her studies consumed a great part of her time and so she found little for social activities about school. Nevertheless, Belle was a loyal member of the Girl Scouts. She had not decided upon her career, but we would advise her to enter a walking marathon for she certainly could cover the ground from her home on Ross Street to the F. H. S. in record-breaking time.
