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]

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 ]

Marjorie Eileen Hildreth In their motions harmony divine, So smooth's her charming tones Marjorie! — that was indeed a name to conjure with, for who did not know our gay Marjorie, who was actress, dancer, student, and merrymaker all in one. Will we ever forget her ''Oh Clinnie-e-e dar-r-ling in the class play, or her pro- pensity to dream sweet dreams in English class? She planned to go to Boston University next year, but personally and con- fidentially we suspect that in Marjorie, Ethel Barrymore, or perhaps Ruth Chatterton, will find a dangerous rival in the histrionic art. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Open Meeting (2-3), Junior-Senior Reception (3), Thanksgiving Dance (4), French Club (4), Class Book, Class Play. Dorothy May Hill Quiet she was, forsooth, not vain If friends be credit, she has much gain Dorothy might have looked and acted rather quiet, but she certainly had and made her share of fun. Dot enjoyed readina; a good sensible book. She also liked to go to a movie or a dance. Dot had a smile for everyone and could always be depended upon. Eileen Olive Hill She walks in beauty like the night Eileen was a quiet maiden, the perfect business woman in study hours. Her application to books, though, didn't inter- fere with her popularity. Her genial smile and serious attitude are sure to be great assets in life. Glee Club (3). Charlotte Eunice Hirst In charity there's no excess Charlotte, despite her small stature, was an energetic per- son. She took her studies seriously and might be seen patiently lugging home an armful of books each day. Charlotte was always ready to lend a hand and proved herself a staunch friend. After graduation she planned to become a nurse. Ruth Inez Hoffman A silent address is the genuine eloquence of sincerity Ruthie was one of our many blondes. She had a very cheery attitude toward everyone. Playing piano was her favor- ite pastime, which she did with skilful ease. During the sum- mer months one very often saw Ruthie in her garden as he or she drove bv her home on the Ashby State Road. Hockey (2), Track (2), Basket Ball (2), Marshal (4), Class Book. Edwin Henry Holt The noblest man the best contentment has Edwin was one of our classmates of remarkable musical talent. He entertained us many times during his high school career and wrote the music for our class song. His popularity was due to his friendly smile and cheerful manner. All of his time was not taken up by his music as he was a fine manager of our very successful basket ball team this year.
