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]

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. Open Meeting (2), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Ghe Club (3), Operetta (3), Junior-Senior Reception (3), Basket Ball (2-3-4), Senior Play (4). 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 ]

Mildred Velma Johnson I hate to tell a tale once jully told -Mildred was one of our more quiet and hard-working students. Her bed hour was neglected several times because of her struggles with her lessons. She liked a good time like any high school maiden. Mildred had a delightful sense of humor — and it wasn't very hard to get her into a giggling fit. Every other week she helped one of the local ministers with his clerical work. Her hopes for the future were directed toward the business world. Frederick Wesley Jones I like jun, like everyone Freddy was a young man in our class who used to drive a nice green Essex car He will never succeed in being an orator even though he has a strong manly voice, for he dislikes debating every much. Joseph Charles Joseph Give counsel to the mind Joseph was a low-hung stocky lad with rather soft bright eyes. Like our primitive ancestor Adam, this boy's name was a perfect palindrome. Due to his French ancestry his English translations from the Latin often did violence to our tongue, but notwithstanding, he was always very earnest about his work. Charles Edward Kaddy ''Armed at all points Charlie was cne of our best athletes, with a reputation for making opposing backs shiver when he hit them. As a hobby, he generally kicked three points after touchdowns every game. He was also rapidly developing into a first-class baseball catcher. He delighted in practical jokes — when they were on the other fellow. Nobody skipped in line at the boys' lunch counter during the year, since Charlie was marshal. He still found time to do his academic work and was well up in his studies. Football (2-3-4), Baseball (2-3-4), Basket Ball (3). Mar- shal (4), Operetta, Class Prophecy (4). Senior Class Play. Ellen Vieno Kahkola Content's a kingdom Ellen was another golden-haired Westminsterite — such blondes as they do grow in that town — who had a space reserved for her name on every honor roll. She told us that she was a Number Please girl in the Westminster Telephone office, and that dancing was her dearest hobby. About her plans for life she said little — but we have heard whispers! Marshal (4). Siiri Ellen Kamppuri ' Her hair a golden mesh to entrap the hearts of men Siiri was a snappy little blonde who won everyone with her roguish smile which we all loved. She could be seen gayly tripping about the corridors doing errands for Mr. Hubbard for whom she worked every other week. Siiri just loved to skate and dance and was an all around athlete. She intended to do office work and lucky will be the person who has Siiri for his stenographer. Dramatic Ciub (2), Basket Ball (2-3). Volleyball (2-3-4), Junior Class Partv Committee (3).
