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 ]

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. Band (2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4), Junior Class Party Com- mittee (3), Assistant Manager Basket Ball (3), Manager of Basket Ball (4), Music for Class Song. [25]

Arne Jacob Jakola Fame is the thirst of youth Arne rather took after a family tradition, that is, he chose a sport and shone in it. The only bad thing with it was that F. H. S. didn't take up his particular sport, hockey. He played last winter for the Fitchburg Hcckey club. In the summer time when skates were packed away, he did his bit of prancing about a cinder track, his weakness being the pole vault. Otherwise he was a regular fellow and I don't mean by that that he neglected lessons. Football (3), Junior-Senior Relay (3), Track (2-3-4). Stasia Ursula Januskirvicz Punctuality is the sou! of business During our high school years Stasia earned our respect. She was rather quiet with business-like ways. Her soft voice was never raised in strident tones. Stasia liked sports and was particularly fond of skating and dancing. Leo Osmo Jarkko Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity Every morning Leo was to be seen unwrapping his tall form from behind the wheel of one of Henry's first products that he coaxed to school. He maintained that his outside occupa- tion, hobby, and activity was pitching hay and digging potatoes, for which he of course needed a very accurate knowledge of trig. Toivo Armas Jarvi They are never alone that are accompanied by noble thoughts A retiring young chap, but, using a quotation from previous class books, still waters run deep. He wasn't at all vocal in his classes, although he knew what was what just the same. He was never known to have been really bad at any time, but neither was he too virtuously good, that is, for a boy. Apparently he either studied a lot or was otherwise occupied for he wasn't very active in school matters. Still he wasn't the only one ! Edith Marie Jena The gold of evening in her hair, The blue of morn shut in her eyes Edith was one of Mr. Howard's part-time secretaries, so it follows that she must have been fairly skilful in her work. She liked to dance and had quite a reputation as a devotee of Terpsichore. After this year is finished, Edith hopes to work as a stenographer. Dramatic Club (4). Avis Lillian Johnson A smile cures the wounding of a frown Avis, red haired, freckle-faced, and smiling, was one of the popular girls in the part-time class. She worked part-time at the C. C. Church which she liked very much. Her favorite recreation was skating. Next year Avis planned to begin her career as a bookkeeper or a stenographer. [ 27]
