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.

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).

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 ]

Richard Whitney Cushing None but the brave deserves the fair Our Richard of the golden voice was an estimable young gentleman. His ability to work earnestly won our respect. Richard's dramatic talent earned for him a large part in the various productions during his school years. If one didn't know Richard, his uplifted manner would bode no good for the members of the fair sex. However, we all knew him ! Glee Club (2), Dramatic Club (2-3-4).

Evelyn Fronia Davis My mind to me a kingdom is Evie was a student in every sense of the word. Her studies occupied so great a part of her time as to leave little for school activities. Nevertheless, she found time to attend Rainbow regularly. Evie was rewarded for her zealous studying, as her name was never off the honor roll. After graduation she planned to enter Normal School. Dramatic Club (4), Basket Ball (4). Annette Dempsey The hour is fixed, the match is made Annette was by general vote one of the most charming members of the class. She was particularly distinguished by two things, — her constancy to Donald and her unfailing ability to make the High Honor list. Her only draw-back was her timid little voice, which, however, won her much popularity in the class of '31, especially with one member. She planned to go to Simmons for a librarian's course and we just know that she will invent a new method of cataloging. Ring Committee (3), Holy City (3), Dramatic Club (4), Marshal (4), Class Book. Muriel Beatrice Donais What sweet delight a quiet life affords A small girl with long brown hair, big brown eyes, and a pleasant facial expression. She was very fond of swimming and skating. She was much interested in art and was one of the active members of the Palette Club. Palette Club (3-4), Basket Ball (4). Rachel Christy Dormin Clear honor shining like the dewy star of dawn Everyone knew Rachel, both for her lovely speaking voice and her very pleasing personality. Rachel won a prize in the Public Speaking contest, and was in the class play her Sopho- more year. We will always remember especially her and Mary Cassidy as that comical mother and daughter. Rachel used to be terribly embarrassed at times on the third floor, because she simply couldn't resist an excuse to talk and Richard's eager eye and acute ear always seemed to find her out. No talking. Miss Dormin ! Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Open Meeting (2), Debating Club (4), Glee Club (4). Thomas Norman Downey dare do all that may become a man Thomas was one of the most popular boys in the school. His pleasant, likeable manner and engaging smile won him many friends of both sexes. He was a member of the Glee Club and Band, in both of which he had many opportunities to display his musical ability. Tom's singing, by the way, was the feature of the assembly on Parents' night. Tom's talents were not confined to music alone for he was one of the stars of our track team and he wasn't so bad in basket ball. In a few years we expect to see Tom managing some big hotel as he planned to go to a training school in Washington for hotel management after he was graduated.
