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.

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.

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]

Miriam Elizabeth Honkanen A contented spirit is the siveetness of the contentment Miriam was one of our fair young ladies who was always ready for a good time. She was very fond of dancing and was invariably present at our school dances. Her outside hobbies were hockey and basket ball both of which she played ex- ceedingly well. Miriam starred in a play given at the Open Meeting of the Dramatic Club her Sophomore year, and made a big hit in the operetta, Festival of Bagdad her Junior year. But all this was to be expected as she had always been known for her histrionic ability. We expect to hear that Miriam is head stenographer in some big New York office one of these days.

Marcina Catherine Ingemie Deeds not words Marcina was an ambitious girl who did what she had to do in the quickest, quietest way possible, but did it Well. She was always prepared when she came to class — a rare virtue. Herbert Herman Innerasky Happiest he whose quiet mind from vain desire is jree Herb was one of the cutest boys in our class, with that dark wavy hair every girl falls for. He was also, it seemed one of our most bashful boys, for we never saw him talking at length to any girl at school. This, certainly, was not the fault of those sweet young things. Herb intended to be a business man. Douglas Alton Jackson A man too happy jor mortality Doug was one of the merrier members of the class. He was a boy wrho could give a quick snappy answer to any riddle asked him. One of his favorite winter sports was skating, and could he skate ! We don't believe Doug was so fond of his books, but still he always got by ! Messiah (4). Ellie Irene Jackson No wealth is like a quiet mind Anyone who made a habit of visiting the school library surely knew Ellie, because she worked for Miss Sherwin every other week. She was one of the good-looking girls in our class. Her thoughts, however, were centered on someone out- side of school, so the boys didn't often get a break. Ellie al- ways received good marks, but she didn't spend all her time in studving. for she was often seen at dances in town. Hockey (2), Holy City (3), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Paul Leonard Jacobson A little mischief now and then, Is relished by the best of men Paul wasn't heard much in or about school, but just drop in, or around Pollack's store almost any time and you were sure to find him there. His favorite sports were hunting and fishing. On some hot summer afternoon you should take a stroll to Saima Park and watch him do some real swimming. [ 26 ]
