Fred Costello Gates Comparisons are odious Was he full of fun? Boy! When he and Jimmie Gilson got to talking in 28, they were like two old gossips. Freddie also worked at Brockelman's on the meat counter where he swung a mean cleaver. Mr. Chalmers was quite fond of Freddie, and he often called him in for an interview. The Holv City (3), Glee Club (2). James Paul Gilson I would help others out of fellow feeling His face wreathed with smiles at all times, Jimmie has found a permanent place in the memories of his fellow students. Mirth-provoking, light-hearted chaps like James made the Senior class a very merry class indeed ! Dramatic Club (2); Glee Club (2-3-4). Baseball (2), Basket Ball (2), Class Book. Alvida Yvonne Goguen A willing mind makes a light foot Alvida was always bright and spritely, but a befitting gravity characterized her in class. She intended to train for a teacher and we all know she will make an excellent one. She enjoyed winter sports. French Club (2-4), Basket Ball (4). Frederick Charles Gorham A moment's thinking is an hour in words Freddie was a hard worker and deserved all he got. He came up from Squad B, where he played last year, and made first-string guard on our fine football team Senior year. He should win a niche in our hall of fame, for he succeeded in making a favorable impression on Miss Dunn. Footb.all (4). She Claire Marie Goyette often seen, but seldom heard Although Claire bulked large to view she had a rather small soft voice. She worked in the Brockelman Bros.' store in her spare time. Her favorite sport was football. She planned to go in training for a nurse after graduation. French Club (3). Dorothy Alberta Gray Mistress of herself though China fall Dot was an attractive and dignified Senior whom books never worried, yet she always managed to make the grade. Dot was very fond of tennis and played in all her spare time in the summer. She didn't go out for many of the school activities because her time outside of school was already filled. [ 21 ]

Donald Jerome Fossa Of their orun merits, modest men are dumb Carefree Lefty— that was how we always knew him. Nothing ever worried him — not even exams and yet he al- ways managed to scrape through. A most faithful supporter of all activities even though he was almost invariably seen strolling in five minutes late. He has taken with him our most hearty wishes for success, which we know he can attain if he maintains that happy-go-lucky nature. Clarence Alexander Fournier A joke's a very serious thing We sometimes wondered what went on in Clarence's mind for he was a boy who never betrayed his feelings. Skating was one of his hobbies. He was fond of dancing also and was often seen at the school hops. He ran for our class in the relay his Junior year. Clarence had prospects in the business field for the future. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Raymond George Fregeau All great men have not died yet Raymond was almost invariably to be found in lively discussion with a group of friends. And in argument, size didn't count, for he always emerged in a happy frame of mind. Ray was one of those unusual people who love to do some- thing that they shouldn't. However, he was quite a plugger when he wanted to be. and he has our hopes that his luck will stav with him. Football (4). Martha Cummings French Sweet, be not proud of those two eyes Which starlike sparkle in their skies Martha was medium of height and pleasingly plump. She had brown straight hair, and blue eyes. Martha likec! all out- door sports, but she had no favorite one. She expected to go in training for a nurse. Basket Ball (4). Rene Adolph Gagne He is of a quiet nature Rene was one of our quiet Seniors and came from the rugged hill country near Rollstone Hill. He was very fond of sports and outdoor life. His favorite sport wras basket ball which he played all winter. The teachers wish that more people were as unpretentious as Rene. Frank Joseph Gallo Intermingle jest with earnest Frank spent his spare moments as an industrious cobbler. He was one of our raging tackles on the football squad during Senior year, and relieved many a weary practice at Crocker Field with a humorous remark at the right time. Frank claimed to be some wrestler. In gym he was often seen sprawling about on the mats wrestling with some husky friend. In victory or defeat he always crawled to his feet with a broad smile on his face. Football (4). [ 20]

Frederick Charles Green On with the fun! Freddy could take jokes and always managed to have a snappy comeback. He enjoyed dancing, and could be found at most of the F. H. S. dances. Freddie enjoyed hunting, so we heard. Which was it Freddie when you went hunting, dear or deer? He was planning to go to Worcester Trade School to become an electrician. Edward Reinhold Guenther Good for anything from pitch and toss to manslaughter Eddie was Miss Peabody's German instinct, which means, having a German background, he was able to use more idio- matical language than the others. Some boys of the same- background might take German as a cinch course ; they usually get fooled, but then we couldn't put Eddie in that class. The young man was rather athletic in that he went out for basket ball, baseball, and runnina in the annual Junior-Senior classic. Junior-Senior Relay (3). Elvi Mary Haapanen Here was a jolly person and there was no doubting that Elvi was a happy-go-lucky member of our class. We never saw Elvi angry in all the years that we knew her. You could always depend on her to laugh with you when you were in that mood. She was interested in all winter sports. Herman Edwin Haenisch From the crown of his head To the sole of his foot he is all mirth When a group of pupils was in a very gay mood, we gener- ally found Herman was in the center of it. He was always courteous, particularly on Saturdays when he was working in Brockelman s. He enjoyed High School social functions for he was a fine dancer. Dramatic Club (3). Edward Eino Hagelberg Let him live to be a hundred! We want him here on earth Eddie certainly proved what a great sprinter he was in that never-to-be-forgotten relay race Junior year. The Junior team may have lost, but it certainly was not his fault for he was an ideal captain and a fine sport. Eddie's favorite pastime was dancing, and he certainly could dance! The way he glided across the floor would make any girl feel like dancing with him forever. He was a dandy basket ball player, too. He was on Squad A and his presence on that team brought many fair fans to the games and helped to swell the A. A. treasurv. Basket Ball (2-3), Track (2-3), Glee Club (3). Junior-Senior Relay (3). Rafael Reynold Hagstrom He brings, to make us from our ground retire, The reasoner's weapons and the poet's fire Vute, as he was known by his friends, possessed great perseverence. During his first two years he was a member of the Varsity baseball squad and it was not because of lack of endeavor that he was not a regular until his Senior year. The scarcity of squirrels and rabbits in the surrounding country was a mute testimony of Yute's prowess with a gun. During our Senior year, we found Yute visiting the South Side quite regularly. Baseball (2-3), Marshal (4). [22 ]
