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 ]

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 ]

George Edward Hamilton All men of ability are in great demand George was a loyal member of '31 who always came to class prepared to recite ths day's lessons. One of George's big interests was the aeroplane. Some day he will probably be a second Lindy. George was right there as a pal. When you ne:ded a little help, just ask big boy. Clarence Knight Hannah Content I live; this is my stay Clarence was a good old sport. His car was a regular bus the night of any out-of-town basket ball game. He intended to go to the New York Military Academy. If he keeps the same standard there as here, he will certainly make good. Councillor (2), Football (2-4). Gertrude Kyllikki Hannula Still waters ran deep Gert came from Pearl Hill on the bus each morning. Al- though she wasn't so noisy as the rest of us, she enjoyed a good time as much as anyone. She liked volleyball and ba;ket ball. Gert may enter Fitchburg Business College. Basket Ball (4). Rauha Harju '77s the mind that makes the body rich Rauha made herself known to most of her fellow students; and those to whom she did, knew what a fine character she possessed. She was rather quiet, but had a great interest in all activities. Rauha was like many others who believed in a good time and then study. Hockey (2), Basket Ball (4). Muriel Priscilla Harley She's all my fancy painted her, She's lovely, she's divine Don't tell Muriel that West Fitchburg is in the sticks! She planned to go to Simmons and we hope the big city won't turn her head. Without a doubt, Muriel never hurt anyone's feel- ings. The sweetest disposition in school ; we will leave it to you. We could sum her up only as an enemy to no one and a friend to all. Debating Club (3-4), Glee Club (3-4). Charles McLean Hassett A silent address is the genuine elegance of sincerity Charles was one of our studious young members. He hardly ever appeared with a smile on his face, but went about school with a stern look. Evidently, he took life seriously. Charlie be- lieved in making the best of his precious moments. During his spare moments he drove far and helped Harry Kendall in the catering business. [23 ]
