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 ]

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 ]

David Joseph Hawthorne They are never alone that are accompanied by noble thoughts Dave was a first baseman on our baseball squad. He was a good-natured fellow and very likable. We wondered if Dave would ever hurry to a fire. Besides playing baseball. Dave was a rabid supporter of the football and basket ball teams. His car generally carried rooters when the teams were out of town. Joseph Raymond Hawthorne A youth light hearted and content The first time that we met But we received the impression that he was a rather reticent young man. Vet what a surprise he gave us as we knew him better, when his geniality and good humor came bursting upon us like a strong sunbeam through a dark cloud. His geniality oftentimes rose to the heights of gaiety. This Irish humor of his was the sympathetic bond that united him to all who knew him. We hope that in the years that are to come we will be able to have But at our class reunions so that he may help to enliven us with his ceniality and Irish wit. John Richard Hayes .4 proper man, as one shall see in a summer's day This was Jack's first year at the Fitchburg High School, but he was already well-known to all of us. We girls were very much interested in him, because he was so good-looking, and too, the large car that he drove was an added attraction. But Jack was not a lady's man, — far from it. He found most of his friends among the boys, and they considered him a fine pal and a good comrade. French Club (4). Norma Parker Heap Happy the parents of so fair a child How we envied Norma for her long fair locks and her dreamy blue eyes! Norma was not very active in the societies about school, but she was deeply interested in the Girl Scouts and Rainbow. We imagine she will do something with her artistic ability after leaving F. H. S.. but as yet Norma has no plans for her life's work. Dramatic Club (4), Palette Club (4). Henry Constantine Heikkinen It is pleasant to think of labors that are past Henry was truly a sporting man, for fishing, hunting, and dancing were among his hobbies. His more or less serious occupation after school was purveying soft drinks at the Park Pharmacy. He wasn't responsible for the bad tasting medicines you might get there, but he hoped to be later after he has learned all about the art of compounding at the Boston Pharmacy School. Assistant Manager of Basketball (3). Bettina Heslam Her deep blue eyes smile constantly Betty was one of the sweetest girls in our class and was known and liked by everyone. She expected to go to Simmons and she is certain to succeed in whatever she may undertake, because she was always so brilliant in school. This is what we especially liked about her. Whenever we came to school without our homework done, we asked Betty for hers. Sure. she would inevitably say, you can take it. Maybe she was too gener- ous, but we liked her best that way. Councillor (2), Glee Club (4). Marshal (4), Editor of the Class Book. [ 24]
