THE BOULDER Non nobis solum Published b - The Class of 1932 Fitchburg High School 1932 ■Q ne nostra classis mo eatur Quam si dura silex aul stel Marpesia cautes. Vergil — ada p ed. The Rollstone boulder is one of the erratic boulders brought down by the last glacier from at least one hun- dred miles north, and left on Rollstone Hill. Because of its interesting history and through the benevolence of Fitchburg citizens, in 1931 it was removed from its position there to a place near the Unitarian church and placed at the Upper Common as a memorial. Since it is a traditional landmark of Fitchburg and because a rock con eys the idea of strength and long life, the class of 1932 has thought it fitting to name their class book The Boulder. May our class be no more disturbed than if it were hard flint or a Marpesian crag.

Waino, one of the most popular boys in school has had the honor of being our class president for two years. He is fond of dancing and managed to find time to indulge in this, his favorite pas- time. Like a Spartan youth he has exerted him- self to the utmost to attain physical fitness. Basketball { ), Track (.V4), Relay Team (3-4), Dramatic Club, ( .lee Club, Councillor, .Marshal. Mary Albro A heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. Mary has an uncann ' ability for accomplish- ment. As editor-in-chief of the Red and ( .ray and ice-president of her class, she had more than the lion's share of responsibility heaped upon her. How she managed to participate in all school acti ities and still remain among the foremost in her studies was ever a m ster - to her classmates. .Mary has the further distinction of being our sole prospectixe contribution to Smith College. Councillor (2), Dramatic Club, French Club (3-4), Red and C.rav Board, Marshal, Round Table (4). Donald Chalmers am sure care's an enemy to life. Don, a hale and hearty youth, owes his un- usual popularity to his refreshing optimism and engaging smile. He was acti e as a meniber of the band, and as manager of the basketball team. Don did not spend all his time in studying. He kept thin dashing from Walton Street to his home ever - night. Dramatic Club, Red and Cray Board (3-4), Red and Cray Dance (3-4), Junior Party Com- mittee, Relay Team (3-4), Basketball Team Manager, Councillor, Marshal, Class Play. Nancy Norton None but herself could he her parallel. Throughout her High School career, Nancy had the distinction of being the most popular girl in her class. . or was the epithet unmerited for she won a host of friends not onh' through her prominence in athletics and dramatics, but also through her own personal charm. Nancy, no doubt, should figure in the great world of affairs, providing romance does not cut short such a career. Hockev (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), ollevball (2-3-4), Dramatic Club, Open .Meeting (2-3-4), Belle of Bagdad, Mikado, French Club (3-4), Marshal, Class Play, Round Table. Chester Vinton Adams It is a good rule to endeavor to work hard. The Rabbit and Cavy club is thankful to Chet for the fine rabbits he has exhibited under the club's name. Chet's one ambition is to become an expert in the rabbit line. Besides raising these jumpy ani- mals he fills in the rest of his time delivering 'ege- tables for his father. John Elmer Aho shall go journeying pleasantly. Though not exactly Fortune's favorite son, John manages to overcome all obstacles which hinder his purpose. Despite difficulties, he made quite a sen- sational trip to Washington in his Junior year. John has a passion for far-away places and has high hopes of spending a good part of his life on the brin ' deep. Basketball (3), Baseball Manager, Glee Club, Write-up Committee. Natalie Genevieve Altieri It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Nat is another good sport, and is usually the life of every party. E eryone loves her company. One often saw Nat surrounded by a group of foot- ball or basketball players. She is planning to go to Normal School after graduating. Track (2), Basketball (2-3-4), Vollevball (2-3-4), Hockey (2-3-4), The Messiah. Alvar John Anderson Naught he cares for ivars and naught For the fierce disease of thought. Andy is a tall, blond fellow. He seems well on his way to the ownership of his own garage. Per- haps in a few years the members of the class of '32 will be able to patronize .Anderson's Service Sta- tion, where we may be sure of getting honest ser- vice. Edith Elvira Anderson Thou'rt like unto a floiver, As fair, as pure, as bright. Edith is one of our dearest little classmates. Her lovely blue eyes, brown hair, and dainty slenderness make her especially sweet and loveable. One of her favorite occupations is to drive around in her own car. Together with Harriet, she enthusias- tically attended all the football and basketball games. Ruth Marjorie Anderson make friends by the hour. Ruth certainly has a lot of friends, and she de- serves them. She is a great athlete, too, and excels in hockey, basketball, and volleyball. The Turners would be lost without her. She was a marshal on the first floor and kept things in good running order. Her time was di ided between Ida and .Arthur. Ruth's ability to make friends will contribute much to her 'future. Track (2), Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4), Hockey (2-3-4), Junior Class Party Committee, Marshal. h 1932 Evelyn Anttila A 'ivomati's heart and its whole 'wealth of love. W e know of no one in the class who is more philo- sophical than E el n. Everyone enjoys her hearty, contagious laugh. Evelyn is ver - skillful in Eng- lish literature and composition, and is especially gifted in writing poetry. She worked hard and en- thusiastically on both School Notes and Boulder write-ups. The Holy City, Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (,?-4), Dramatic Club, French Club (3-4), Red and ( ira - Board (3-4), Chairman Write-up Committee, -Marshal, Round Table. George Anthony Asselta Still dauntless 'midst the wreck of earth he'd smile. George is a jaunty little fellow with a perpetual impish gleam in his dark eyes. To the woe of his teachers, he has a strong inclination to laugh and chatter in class. His ne er failing morning com- panion was the Boston Post. George plans to take a P. G. course next rear. Mary Baldwin The skies ?iiight claim thee for their mun. Mary towers above most of her classmates — per- haps that's why she makes such a good forward in basketball. She is equally good in hockey and vol- leyball. The airport has a strong attraction for Mary since her chief ambition is to become an avia- tri.v.' Basketball (3-4), Hockey (3-4), Class Ring Com- mittee. Dwenlyn Carswell Ballou Fingers were made to use. Typewriting is Dwenlyn 's specialty. She can go like a house afire and not make a single mistake. She got half a point credit for typing the material for the Red and Gray. And that is work. We know that both Miss Ranney and Miss Brown ap- preciate her efforts. Irene Mildred Barker The best humored and kindest hearted creature ever seen. Irene is one of those rare people who are never worried, and never worry other people. She has a friendh' disposition and a kind word for everyone. .Although she has many friends, she was seen most frequently at the football games with Phyllis Wheeler. Franklin Stuart Barry Let be my name until I make my name. Franklin's individuality of expression is very striking, for he can always express his thoughts forcefully and wittily. All his themes in English class were entertaining. Whate er he does is done quietly and courteously. He has a fondness for music and plays the iolin. Orchestra (3-4), Debating Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4J, French Club (4), Glee Club (4), The Messiah, Mikado. 1932 TWELVE f Victor Francis Beauvais His smile is sweetened by his gravity. Vive le Cercle Francais! And Victor, too, who was its president. Here's one of our classmates who, always quiet, yet friendly, conducts himself among us with an air of solemn gra 'ity though he isn't so socially prominent as some of his fellow- students. His remarkable control of English was often commented upon in 22. He has the note- worthy faculty of completing his undertakings. French Club (3-4), Open Meeting (3-4), Write-up Committee, I ound Table. Hector Ralph Begnoche Thought is deeper than all speech. Ouiet, shy, and studious. lie resided in room 24 but was very little heard from. He made use of every minute of each study period to con his lessons. Glee Club (2). Olga Berger Her manner so plain, unaffected, and sincere. Olga's outward conduct and neatness con ey a pleasant impression. She does what she belie es to be right and good. She acts quickly and with ear- nestness. Olga finds enjoyment in reading and playing the piano. She is also an enthusiastic ol- levball player. Volleyball (2-3). Beryl Delia Bernier .4 jolly good girl is she. Beryl is one of the most loyal and dependable members of our class. She was present as an ar- dent supporter at many of the football games. We can say that no matter what trouble comes her way, she will always grin and bear it. Her principal pas- time is setting waves in other people's hair. She has shown considerable ability as an artist. Dramatic Club (2-3), (ilee Club, Messiah, Oh Doctor, Thanksgiving Dance Committee, Write-up Committee. Alice Stickney Bills Her ways are the ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Alice was an earnest-minded member of the Gen- eral Course. Her genial disposition kept her class in a cheerful mood. By all reports we hear, Alice will become a nurse. She is noted for her sludious- ness. Ernest Roland Blake He who thinks for himself is a free man. Blakey is another one of those fellows who ought to get more sleep nights — according to Mr. Sulli an at any rate. .At first, Ernest didn't worry about flunking the chemistry equation tests, but when he learned that those who failed would receive after- noon sessions, he passed with honors. Relay Team (3-4). IH 1932 f r « ' -t:c. a CD Loretta Marion Rolduc .She 'wears the rose of youth upon her cheeks. Loretta is as yet unskilled in the fine art of skat- ing. ha ing taken it up only recently, but if one were to judge from the number of tutors she has had she should become an adept in short order. Loretta and her chum Rena are inseparable companions. 'olle ball (3), Dramatic Club, .Messiah. Ralph P'rancis Boudreau Life seems to me not a sliite of beiuK hut a process of becoming. Ralph is one of the members of our class who be- lie es in the motto, (lood things come in small packages. His one ambition in life is to be a sec- ond Jack Shea, the famous skater. His one pic- quaresque amusement is to follow the serial at the Strand Thealre. Grace Frances Bowers .She who has the hri ht face and bright huir. drace doesn't sa - much, but why should she when her cheery smile speaks volumes of happy thoughts? Her twinkling e es and natural wa - hair cause many a normal male heart to skip a beat. .Although home-work doesn't seem to interest drace ver ' much, she always has her lessons done. Francis Victor Bozner He is witty, he is wise, He's a terror for his size. W'e don't hear much about Francis around school now. Later possibly we expect to hear that he has written a book on Bookkeeping FVinciples, a brainy subject, which is his specialty so far as we can find out. He has his share of fun, much to the discomfort of the teachers. He goes around with a South Fitchburg group. Ruth Clara Bozner care not whether 'tis black or bright. I'o a teaspoonful of joviality, add a cupful of smartness, and combine the two with athletic ability and co-operation.

Helen Ann Brady Quiet she is, forsooth, not vain. Helen is a new member of our class who joined us during her Senior year. She is fond of athletics anf! attended all the football games. Not much was heard from her in school, but we hear that her evenings were prettv well taken up by a gentleman. Basketball (2), Hockey (2), Tennis (4). 1932 FOURTEEN Sholom Braune He 7ms an ingotuuus lad. Here's a ridtlle! Who is it that can take a joke and spring one, tliat can be very ambitious, but likes to be ia7, ', that delights in teasing, excels in blufling, belie es in trusting to luck and is still sur- viving? Sholoni. Emil Philip Brochu Gentle in method, resolute in action. Emil didn't make the football team, for we can't all be Red (Granges, but you should see him knock 'em down and 'em uj) in the back lots. He's a good sport, and just as ready to pick a man up as to knock him down. Emil, however, did not confine himself to physical attainments, for you could generallv find his name well up on the honor roll. Arthur Miller Brown Chariicter makes its own destiny. Arthur became one of our group this past year. Our only regret is that he wasn't with us during the entire lour years. Howe er, in this short time his winning smile and delightful personality ha e made him a favorite with his classmates. Hugh Menzises Brown By silence, I hear other men's imperfections and con- ceal my own. Here's a fellow who is quiet but always alert. His name was on the honor roll many times. Browny is interested in basketball and played for some local team. He says he has no use for the opposite se.x. He's bashful, girls. Relay Team (3-4). Melba Arlene Brunt .Sweet in the innocence of youti. Here's a girl we seldom saw unhappy. Her smile introduced her to many new friends. ! Ielba dresses well and always presents a neat appearance, . fter graduation she intends to continue her course in hair dressing. (ilee Club (2). IJllian Grace Buckley The stars shine in the glance of her eyes. I-illian is a tall, slender, and attractive girl. She is very fond of dances and was seen at several school affairs as well as at outside acti -ities with one of her many boy friends. She has one of the sweetest dispositions in school. 1932 FIFTEEN f Myra Elizabeth Bull .SV) unaffected, so composed a mind. So firm, so soft, so strong, vet so refined. M yra is a ver ' dependable sort of person and a good scholar. She is interested in secretarial work and plans to enter some secretarial school next year. She is such a good basketball player that few girls can get free when she is guarding them. Basketball (2-3-4), olleyball (2-3-4). Dramatic Club (3j, French Club (3-4), Write-up Committee. Bernard John Burke .An acre of performance is H'orth the whole world of promise. Bernard is another of our nonchalant students. His main interest during his high school career was playing on Squad .A during his Junior and Senior years. If you want to find Bernard during the sec- ond lunch period, ou may discover him upstairs in .Miss Miner's room amusing a group of girls. Baseball (2i, Junior-Senior Relay, Football, Round Table. Claramae Cady She whose talents are many. Claramae is one of our class leaders. . t any football game you saw her flying figure leading the school in cheers. Besides this, she is one of the most talented actresses in the school, and has high hopes for future fame. Her pleasing personality and graciousness ha e endeared her to all her class- mates. Dramatic Club, Open Meeting (2-3-4), Debating Club (2), Basketball (2-4), Cheerleader, Marshal, Write-up Committee. Chairman of Thanksgiving Dance Committee, Class Play. Charlotte Ellis Cairns Serenely pure, and yet divinely strong. Charlotte's one ambition is to become a gym teacher. W e are most certain that she will succeed in that field. In basketball and tennis, Charlotte can hold her own to perfection. She- pro es it by her instructor's job on the cit - plavgrounds. Basketball (2-3-4), ollevbail ' (2-3-4), Tennis (2-3-4), Debating Club (3). James Ambrose Carson Worry never did man good. Jim ne er worries a great deal about his studies; nevertheless, he alwa s manages to hold his own with the rest of the class. Jim surely deser es credit for ha ing come all the wa from Shirley for four ears. Antonio James Catalini Every man is a volume if you know how to read him- Good old -Antonio, though not so big as many of us, is always there with the goods. He doesn't speak too much in our classrooms, yet as often as he dares, he expresses himself admirably. W e some- times wonder about his aim in life. 1932 SIXTEEN Stefna Catherine Celona A gentle spirit with all love replete. Most of Stefna's time after school is spent in sports; she played on the basketball, volleyball, and hockey teams. She was also a member of the Dra- matic Club. She is quiet and attentive, never in- terfering with anybody. She enjoys domestic life. Dramatic Club, Hockey (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4). Jessie Elizabetii Cheetham Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man. If you e 'er want information on the latest picture just sidle up to Jessie and ask. Movieland is her hobby! She plays basketball, too, goes coasting, and dances. After five minutes of con 'ersation with her, you'll feel 100' good-natured — unless it's a rainy dav. Hockey (4), Tennis (4), Volleyball (4) Basketball (4). Rena Mary Chivilo Cheerfulness is the off-shoot of goodness and of li'isdom. Rena may be dark of skin and hair, but she cer- tainly has a sunny disposition. She's the best little gloom chaser you could meet in a day's travel; she fairly radiates good spirits. Her favorite song is Let a smile be out umbrella on a rainy day. Volleyball (3),' Dramatic Club (3). Elsie Pauline Christiansen She was a winsome, wee thing. Elsie is one of the reasons why Gentlemen pre- fer blondes. She is one of the smallest girls in school, but if you question her about it she'll probably tell you that Good things come in small packages. She and a brunette of like dimensions are inseparable pals. Volleyball (2), Track (2), Basketball (3). Helen Lucy Cieslak On hospitable thoughts intent. The world would be a happier place if it could boast more of Helen's kind. Her inherent kin iness and sincerity endeared Helen to all her more inti- mate classmates. Though apparently restrained in manner, she had a propensity for indulging in hu- morous outbursts. The future years may find her teaching the three R's. Glee Club (2), Basketball (2-3), Volleyball (2-3), Dramatic Club (2-4), Class Play. Marjorie Olive Clark She dreams of joy only. Marjorie is a very nice little girl, quiet, and lik- able in school. Skating at McTaggart's filled some of her spare time. Long rides on the trolley car make her cheeks bloom like roses. Volleyball (3), Banner Committee. 2 SEVENTEEN f Cleaveland Fisher Colburn In great aims and small he is thoroughly in earnest. Cle is one of our more studious classmates. He is always good-natured and full of fun. Although he spent most of his time either working at home among flowers or in other outside actiN ities, he man- aged to attend school dances and games. Holy City, French Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (4), Glee Club (4), Round Table. Marvis Laura Comstock A hand benignant and a heart sincere. .Marvis had to retire earl - to be read - for the .Shirley bus at 7.20 each schoolday morning. She was one of J. K's. law sharks. Marvis is esteemed for her friendly disposition. She likes to read, dance, coast, and especially to play basketball. She plans to go to a business college. Albert Edward Congram Good times are coming, so cheer up. .Albert is a good-natured fellow and a great pal. He took no part in sports, yet he took great interest in and was present at all athletic events. If there is a party or a dance anywhere, .Albert likes to know it. Glee Club (2). Hattie May Conrad Soft of voice and light of hand. Most of us have never seen Hattie in bad humor. Although she has a somewhat retiring nature, she makes a good forward in basketball. How she can wield a needle! .After she finishes with a few odds and ends, you'd think she started with something rather special. She is planning to enter Normal School next fall. olleyball (.3), Basketball (4), Dramatic Club (4). Eero Ilmari Cooke Dispatch is the soul of business. Eero is our lively ad ertising manager of the Red and Gray. .Although he is business-like and some- what abrupt, he, ne ertheless, always has a cheery smile and a happ - greeting for his schoolmates. In spite of his failure to participate in many school activities, he made manv friends. Red and Gray Board (2-3-4). Lucille Rose Couillard True merit is like a river, The deeper it is, the less noise it makes. Lue is not always quiet, especially when she gets w ith the bunch at the lunch table. SI%e will bt- re- membered for her work in Oh Doctor. Remem- ber that bewitching -Spanish Senorita who danced with the dashing .Senor? That was Lucille — in person. She's a good scholar and a 100% friend. .A he.- Oh yes — is he from Charlemont, Maryland, or just Fitchburg's famous South Side? Basketball (2-3-4), French Club (2), Glee Club (2-3), Operettas (2-3), Dramatic Club, Marshal. Class Play. 1932 Marguerite Sara Coulter The only way to have a friend is to be one. .Marguerite is sincere, sweet, and attractive. She enjoys sports, especially football, and even though she doesn't play she attended nearly all the games. Her delightful laugh and cheery greeting give evi- dence that she is always happy. Norman Joseph Courtemanche He gave to study all his care and heed, Nor ever spoke a word beyond his need. Norman was one of the teachers' standbys. It is rumored that he once got up at four in the morn- ing to complete his homework. He'd certainly make a good ad for some concern selling hair lo- tions. If you don't belie e me, take a look at the accompanying picture. Well, what do you think? Doris Woodbury Crammer Silence is one great art of conversation . Dot is one of the cutest girls in the class. She is the quiet sort. When she is in a room you seldom know she is there. She seemed to pay more atten- tion to her books than to anything else. John Louis Croteau In truth a n'orthy man withal was he. An ambitious young man is Johnnie, who prob- ably aspires to be Bobbie Jones's successor. At least if one were to judge from the amount of time he spends at the Oak Hill ( olf Club. And, fellows, just a little tip! When, at lunchtime, nickels are as scarce as hen's teeth, just page Johnnie — he always has a pocketful. Orchestra (3-4). Ellen Beatrice Cummings She blossomed in the country. Ellen comes from Westminster, where she is known for her singing. It always is a pleasure to hear her sweet well-toned voice. Her happy spirit and merry eyes tend to break up any gloomy feelings when she greets her friends. Ellen has accomplished a great deal of 4-H Club work. Glee Club (3 Volleyball (3-4), Basketball (3-4). Samuel Benjamin Cutler Though modest on his unembarrass'd brow Nature has written, Gentleman. Sammy is a very quiet fellow and a good pupil. He spent his Sophomore year at Ayer High School, but in September, 1930, he was again present with the Shirley group in Room 47. He has the record of haying attended five different high schools. His chief interests in sports are baseball and track. Baseball (3-4). V ! 1932 Nil INETEEN f Harry Albert Damon A Utile mischief, now and then, Is liked by even quiet men. Harry has brown hair and brown eyes. He's a good student and a nice fellow, He enjoys dancing and all sports, especially skating. If you are look- ing for some white mice, see Harr -, because he raises them. Raymond Charles David am just a Utile fellow. Raymond, better known to us as Ray. joined our class during Junior year. Studying is not his favor- ite hobby, et he always manages to get his lessons. No matter how early you arrive at school, Ray is always there ahead of ou. We wonder how he does it. He certainly will never have to worry about getting afternoon sessions because of tardi- ness. Raymond Delphise DeLorme •Strong men have strong convictions. Ray mond is one of the brawn - men of our class. W ithout any unreasonable exaggeration his physique can be compared to that of the old-time blacksmith. His mental aggressiveness also seems to harmonize with his powerful body. He has a great tendency to stick to his beliefs, but he will admit error when shown. Edward Armas Dicker Thankful that his troubles are no more. .Although Edward has a long refreshing walk even.- morning from Marshall Road, he always ar- rives on time. During his Sophomore year he was handicapped by a broken leg. Through diligent study he has become an honor pupil. Antonietta DiConza None knew thee but to love thee, nor named thee but to praise. -Antonietta is a typically nice girl, a jolly sport, and a very charming person to look at. She's a dancing-eyed brunette with natural wavy hair. She is always prepared in her school w ork and ever ready to lend a helping hand. Graceful and dainty with a desire to please, she has engraved on our hearts a lasting remembrance. Glee Club Chorus (3), Volleyball (2-3-4). Antonio Joseph DiGeronimo ' warrant him heart-whole. Yes, sir, Antonio would give you his last shirt if he was sure of the approval of his folks. He was always on hand with a lazy summer smile on his sunny face, and always willing to do his duty. When the ne.xt stock market crash comes, see Antonio. i 1932 f TWENTY Charles Edmund Divoll Come day! Go day, I wish it were Sunday. This is evervbody's thought in general, but Chick's in particular. Always ready for a good time, is he. In the summer he manages the steam- boat at Whalom, and shows strangers the wonders of that syK'an lake. In the winter, he guides be- wildered patrons to their seats at .Shea's. Track (2-3). Pauline Churchill Durgin My heart is the heart oj a swallow. Pauline is our model of style plus. Her person- ality is as gay and changing as the many costumes she wears. She trips the light fantastic in an ex- cellent manner and seldom misses a chance to go to a dance. We guess that she would much rather do these things than to dig away at her studies. Glee Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Dorothy Elliott A pretty girl, most dear and taking. Dot has so many good points that we don't know where to begin. First of all she was the life of the class; then, she certainly lent her support to the football games. Her friendship with Beryl Bernier is of the Damon and Pythias variety. She is fair of face and radiant in personality. Frank William Engstrom have principles of right by which to live. Frank's qualities mirror those of his working- place, the Y. M. C. A. His work at the Y, and his scholastic ambitions kept him indoors much of the time, yet he could show many of us a thing or two about tennis or basketball. Tennis (3). Helen Elizabeth Engstrom Modesty and dew love the shade. Helen would rather listen than do the talking! However, they say that an appreciative audience is valued by the best of men. She has a very even temper; you just can't ruffle her. We like to sur- prise her for then her rosy cheeks blush so prettily and her clear blue eyes grow so large. Carl Hjalmar Erickson He is straight and strong and his eyes are brown. Carl is one of the busiest and best liked boys in our class. Nevertheless in between his school, his work at the Sentinel and his drawing, Carl manages to find time to make numerous trips to the South Side. Carl is also known in athletic circles as a member of the football squad and the class relay team. Judging by his works of art, Carl is destined to become an artist. Relay (3-4), Football (2), Chairman of Art Com- mittee for The Boulder. 1932 '] T TWENTY-ONE w lfI2 Eugene Olavi Eskeli He nothing common did, or mean. Eugene is an easy-going, pleasant fellow. Though somewhat bashful he manages to make plenty of friends. Eugene is an enthusiastic basketball and football fan and appeared at most of the games. In track he made a fine record. Track (.S), Relay (i), Football (2 Squad B), Basketball (3 Squad B). Esther May Evans Nothing could subdue her keen desire for knowledge. . s a pupil Esther was a star. She was ever pre- pared and ready in recitation. Though she lived in Shirley, she managed to be present at most of the football games. She kept her bus companions well informed about the results. In her Junior year she won a medal for her fine work in history. Elizabeth Ann Eyles Thoughts tliat in quietness confute the noisy world are hers. Elizabeth is a quiet girl who takes ever -thing as it comes. She is a part-time student of the Commer- cial Course. Elizabeth is a very capable person and helps Miss Shenvin in the school library. We ex- pect to see her later at the head of some large busi- ness concern or maybe Mayoress of the city. One ne er knows. Robert Franklin Fairbanks Naught he cares for wars and naught For the fierce disease of thought. Robert has acquired quite a reputation for his skill in sawing logs. He is mainly an outdoor en- thusiast and comes into town only to attend school and to see an occasional movie. Though a fairh' good student, fun-loving Robert would prefer to stay at home.

Still, he has made many friends, among whom he is frequently to be discovered. -Although he almost always nas his work well done, he nevertheless finds time for fun, too. Mitchell shows more interest in the sciences than in the languages, but don't most of the boys?

IQ32 TWENTY-TWO Charlotte Muriel Feingold Smiling she's seen from morn till night. Whenever a hearty laugh is heard around the school, few need to question whose it is, for Char- lotte has a laugh all her own. She is just bubbling over with fun and good nature. Her chief hobby is playing tennis. Next year Charlotte is planning to do further studying in order to become a pri ate secretary. Volleyball (2-3), Dramatic Club (3-4), Basket- ball (4). Albert Joseph Filiponis Zealous, yet modest. His qualities and hobbies in brief; reserved, mod- est in manner, alert, constant in doing his lessons; hunter, fisherman, baseball fan, radio bug, a delver in science. Clarence Henry Fischer He is all fault who hath no fault at all. Clarence is a husky chap with a chest develop- ment that would make Bernarr MacFadden turn green with envy. He told us the other day lije at- tained his physical development by aiding the mental development of others. How? Well, you see he delivers huge bundles of newspapers to various stores. Velma Martha Flagg Her speech is graced with sweeter sound Than in another's song is found. Brown-eyed Velma is a sweet and a very slender maiden. Her cheery smile and sunny nature radi- ates happiness wherever she goes. Especially does her delightfully musical voice captivate everyone. Velma takes part in many activities in Westminster, her home town. Often she spends happy hours in dancing, one of her favorite diversions. Basketball (3), Dramatic Club (4). Louise Fletchner Stately and tall she moves. Louise is one of our tallest girls and has distin- guished herself by her fine singing voice. But she apparently does not plan to follow a vocal career for she has a great desire to become a doctor. Maybe someday we can bring our rheumatism to Dr. Fletchner. Glee Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Belle of Bagdad, Oh Doctor, The Mikado. John Grattan Flood For sober wisdom famed. John takes his studies seriously, consequently, only his intimates know him as a good and witty companion. Owing to his logical, keen mind, he is one of the most prominent members of the Boy's Debating Club. Teachers and students will re- member him for his deep and serious thoughts. John plans to enter Holy Cross College. Band (2-3), Orchestra (2-3), Debating Club (2-3-4), Class Prophecy Committee, Round Table. Sarah Edythe Forest shall speak in a monstrous little voice. Edythe's chief charm is femininity which includes a soft oice. l o the e, ation of her teachers, her tones sekiom rise above a doubtful hesitant murmur. A tete-a-tete with her is another matter for she is quite emphatic in expressing an opinion. Doubt- less Ed the will make plenty of friends wherever she goes, for, like Lancelot's Elaine, she is fair and lovable. Glee Club (2-4), French Club (4), Dramatic Club (2-3-4). Helen Mary Francek .9 ; li'as good as she was fair. Helen is a fun loving girl. Her favorite sport is tennis. If you ever happen to go to the tennis courts on Summer Street you will be sure to see her there. She won the girls' tennis tournament this vear. Basketball (2), Track (2). Vollevball (2-3), Ten- nis (4). Cecile Margaret Fregeau Her eyes were bright and merry. Those sparkling e es have made a host of ad- mirers at F. H. S. for Cecile. She has one accom- plishment, her knowledge of French, that most of us would like to borrow; she let us borrow it, too, pro iding it was on paper. Neither a dance nor a game was complete without her. .After graduation she plans to enter a hospital for training. X'ollevball (3 ), French Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (4), Hockey (4), Basketball (4). Francis John Frey Ceaseless effort must inevitably bring reward. Francis is a boy who is always hard at work. From the opening gong to the last tick of the school clock, he was always striving to perfect his intel- lectual powers. His report cards gave us clear proof of his ceaseless efforts. Francis' neatness and accuracy are bound to bring fine results. Junior-Senior Relay. Lester Oswald Frisch They conquer who believe they can. Jack of all trades and talented in many crafts. He is an amateur, in the true sense of the word, in science, carpentry, electricity, radio, and aviation. He stands four square to the world and bends earn- estly to every task. Paul Francis Gaffney Happy, am I, from care I am free Why aren't they all contented like me? Paul is a little fellow with a deep voice. He is the happy-go-lucky kind, and his actions are governed by his inclination at the time. He may usually be found near the store on the corner of Cascade Street. T C' 1932 TWENTY-FOUR f . ;;'« '' C- -iJii!cc Ann Louise Geiger A light heart lives long. Ann is friendly, good-natured, willing to help, and full of fun. She is nearly always smiling. She is an excellent debater and a talented speaker. Ann likes sports, and, though she isn't in the least book- ish, she gets there just the same. She has a large circle of friends of both se.ves, and is very fond of dancing. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Debating Club (2-3-4), Basketball, Hockey. Virginia Geiger A lovely lady, garmented in light from her oivn beauty. Virginia is one of our fairest blondes. Her hair, her blue eyes, and her tall slender form make a striking combination. She loves to dance and we hear that she is quite a stepper. Like Ann, she believes that lessons come last. She likes to draw and paint, creating pictures as lovely as herself. Volleyball (2), Basketball (2-4), Track (2-4). Margaret Elizabeth Glennon The only way to have a friend is to he one. Margaret has a quiet, pleasing manner and is al- ways ready to give a helping hand whenever she is asked. Her sweet disposition, smile, and loyalty have won her many friends. Margaret's faithful- ness and perseverance will surely bring her good re- sults in the future. Her chief hobby is swimming. Dramatic Club (4). Wanda Mary Godek Begone dull care. Wanda likes to dance the hours away, and her smiles win her many partners. Perhaps you have seen her ushering at the games. That's another one of her interests. Through experience, she has learned to look penitent when a Stop talking, please is hurled at her. She hopes to enter a hos- pital after graduation. Basketball, Hockey. Raymond Francis Godin am just what I am. Ray surely was a flash on the cinders last spring, and this year we hope he'll win for himself new lau- rels. Track is his favorite sport, which accounts for his good showing in the relay. Ray has also been a member of the school council and the orchestra for several years. Outside of school he may be seen fiddling away in some dance orchestra. Track, Orchestra (2-3-4), Junior-Senior Relay, Councillor, Write-up Committee. Anita Gomez would rather be small and shine Than large and cast a shadow. Diminutive? Rather, but she makes up for it. Pep, vim, and vigor are her specialties, which she demonstrated on the Co-ed Team in Basketball, Volleyball, and Hockey. She's a great little swim- mer, too, and can compete with the boys any day.

He believes in the social equality of man. His pre- sence is the natural e.vpression of dignity, quiet demeanor, and modesty. Relay, Football (Squad B). Merrill Webster Greene To know how to hide one's ability is great skill. Merrill is an exceptionally fine pianist and a fine student as well. For a pastime Merrill takes his gun or fishing pole and is out either to shoot big game or catch some rare specimen of fish. Orchestra (2-3-4), Red and Gray Board (2-3-4). Evi Alexandra Gronroos The blushing beauties of a modest maid. Evi. besides being quiet and reserved, is a very appealing and whimsical young maiden. She is sweet, but when she happens, by chance, to hear a new joke, she just bends up and laughs in a way of her own. Many of her classmates think that in Evi's case, Still waters run deep. Irene Viola Guertin A maiden petite with charm so sweet. Irene is a very studious person and seems to find time only for homework and taking care of her father's store. Once in awhile you may see her at the Strand Theatre. Irene enjoys skating at St. Joseph's and reading. V olleyball (3). Jeannette Mae Gwynne Sweet and musical As bright Apollo's lute. Jeannette, with her sweet and friendly ways, is one of the most charming and attractive girls of our class. And how she can play the pianol She has the distinction of being our Drum Major, belonging to the orchestra, playing for Miss Helmrich's danc- ing classes, and even broadcasting several times over the radio. Besides all this, Jeannie always won a high place in the honor roll. Glee Club (2-3), Oh Doctor, Orchestra (3-4), Band (3-4), Dramatic Club (4). Lena Hamiila Her eye was busy, while her fingers flew. Lena is a small, busy person. W e used to see her as a member of the part-time Commercial Course, hurr ing hither and thither, often half-hidden under a load of te.xt-books. Frequently she helped Miss Dunn in the tedious business of keeping books and cards in order. Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3). 1932 TWENTr-SIX Mildred Mae Hancock In your patience you are strong. Mildred believes that nothing venture, nothing have. She willingly co-operates vvhene er asked to. She's dependable also, (iloom never abides with her and she is always ready both to enjoy herself and to help others enjoy themselves. Glee Club, Basketball. Ben Hansberry Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell them so. Barney, as he is known to many of his West Fitchburg friends, is full of fun and wise remarks. Everyone likes to have him around. We don't know what Barney's interests are, but we are sure that it is not books. George Elliott Hardy A magnificent spectacle of human happiness. George made a great blufT at most things and got away with some. He was always the life of the classroom. Wherever there was fun, he could be found somewhere in it. He is interested in aero- nautics and if not at Crocker Field, could often be found at the Airport. Noted for his high altitude. Round Table, Red and Gray (4), Co-manager of Football Team (4), Marshal, Class Prophecy Com- mittee. Dorothy Elizabeth Harris The thirst to know and understand. Dot proved by her good marks that she could master any subject coming her way. Her friends in school are numerous, for she is exceedingly good- natured and always overflowing with abundant humor. Dot hopes to enter Normal School, and we can truthfully say that she is one of our best candidates. Felix Arthur Heins He wears his manhood hale and green. Here's a fine all around chap, a good friend to have and to hold. He was captain of the football team and his personality made him a good leader. He has a physical build which most boys envy. We shall remember Felix by his fine character. Football (2-3-4), Basketball (3), Track (3-4), Relay (3-4), Councillor, Marshal. Vieno Joan Henricson She was pretty and happy attd young. Though by far one of the quietest girls in school, Vieno is sfill full of pep. She always craves some- thing to do. Dancing holds her interest and yes — chewing gum. To her intimate circle, Vieno is a constant and true friend and loads of fun. Basketball (2). 1932 -I TWENTY-SEVEN Priscilla Florence Hill They laugh that win. Jolly Priscilla! Her company is a sure cure for the blues. She has two hobbies: first, to be a good Girl Scout; second, to be skilled in sewing. She has a smile and a cheery word for evenione, everj-- day. Constant gayety is not her need, for she pro- ides it herself. Hockev, Basketball, ollevbaII. Annette May Hirst Business before pleasure. ■Annette is a ver quiet and studious girl in school. .She works hard and gets results. .She likes athletics and is especially clever in volley ball — another mem- ber of that famous Junior Co-ed Team. She is full of fun and will keep anybody in good humor if given half a chance. E er body is envious of those lovely wax es that she puts in her hair. Track (2 ), olleyball (3), Basketball (4). Greta Linda Hocquard .She is a dainty little maid. r,reta is very petite and likeable. Her smiles are gentle and refined and becomingly fit the little lady herself. Greta and Irene are not sisters, just cousins. Glee Club. Irene Zelda Hocquard .1 constant friend is rare and hard to find. We will always remember Irene as a school-girl, a Senior with the countenance of a sun never shad- owed, a smile that was cheerful, and a friendship that was true. Eugene Erland Hoglund ,1 good heart is ivorth gold. Uggy is always frank and generous. His main interests lie in running and swimming, and, we are told, he was also interested in a certain sophomore. He took active part in school dances and entertain- ments. He was property man, together with Wainie, at the Dramatic Club's Open Meeting. 'gg - plans to study architecture. Basketball (2), Dramatic Club (3). Relay, Class Party Committee, Junior-Senior Reception Com- mittee. Harold Franklin Hollows In truth, a worthy man n-ithal ims he. Spec was one of our star football players, and a ver - skillful basketball player. Whenever there were girls around, ou could see Spec in the midst of them. Spec seemed more interested in books during his Senior course than in former ■ears. Glee Club (3), Football (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Baseball (2-3), Oh Doctor, Messiah. 1932 TWENTY-EIGHT f Aili Miriam Hultin She hath done her part well. Aili is a trim and efficient young lady. At least she looked that way when she acted as Miss Dunn's secretary e ery other week. .Aili did not de 'ote herself exclusively to this work for she realized that excellence in studies was an excellent foundation in after life. Consequently she was ne 'er afraid to bring home her report card. Glee Club, Messiah, Oh Doctor, Hockey (3), Basketball (4). Frank John Hutchinson I'm grown a man no doubt. In our class we have all kinds, sizes, and shapes of mortals. Here is Hutchy, one of the smaller members of the Ceneral Course. Rut who cares for size anyway.- He belie es in quality rather than quantity. If you want ad ice, ask Hutchy and he'll give you plenty, and as for wise sayings, he's got us all stopped. Noted for his studious nature???? Dramatic Club. Mario Joseph lacoboni Nothing endures but personal qualities. Rio is one of those quiet, bashful people who be- lieve in the maxim, Don't take yourself too seri- ously. He didn't take his work too seriously, and consequently enjoyed himself. Although a little backward at first, he soon became acquainted and proved himself to be a fine, likeable fellow. As most boys do, he liked science. Helvi Maria Jaakkola Report me and my cause aright. We have all enjoyed this jolly girl's company during the past year. She left school in her Senior year in '31 to go to Rhode Island but resumed her studies again with our class. She is kept busy working in a delicatessen store. When not thus occupied she goes swimming or on hikes through her favorite haunts in West Fitchburg. Volleyball (2), Basketball (3). Elvie Vellamo Jarvi She casts a spell — Oh, casts a spell' A golden blonde, demure and sweet, with big blue eyes. She is an answer to the question why gentlemen prefer blondes. They certainly do prefer her. Outside of her intimate circle she gives the impression of being quiet and reser 'ed. Elvie loves to giggle and is frequently subject to it. Glee Club interests her, too. Glee Club, Volleyball. Gertrude Erna Johnson A nd that smile like sunshine darts Into many a sunless heart. Gertrude's smile should prove her fortune for its radiance has great powers of attraction. As an en- thusiastic basketball and football fan, she became a popular m'ember of a group of sports-minded young ladies. It is doubtful whether Gertrude ever missed a game. Track (2), Basketball (3), Volleyball (3). TWENTY-NINE Sidney Johnston He who sings frightens away his ills. Sid is just another one of these nice, quiet chai)s, l)ut you should ha -e heard him when he was prac- ticing in the Cilee Club with Mr. Bouvier. 'N'uff said. However, despite the aforementioned fact and his rather gruesome appellation of FJr. Cuttem in the 1930 Operetta, he was a decided success in that (ilee Club production. C.lee Club (2-3-4), Oh Doctor, Mikado, Senior Class Play, Round Table. Annettica Jurga Youth is the time jor pleasure. The above saying certainly holds true for Xell as she surely believes in having a good time. .Never- theless, she didn't fail to do her lessons. Xel! took the part-time Commercial Course and worked at the Normal Sc.'iool everv other week. George Juskalian Learning makes a man a fit companion for himself. George was a fine history student, and a great lo er of poetry. George has a wide circle of friends since ever one likes his company, for, when he is around, there is sure to be a good time. We admire his wit and sportsmanship Some da - we'll proba- bly be voting for George as a political leader. Open Meeting of Dramatic Club (4), Junior- Senior Relay (3-4), Senior Class Play, Round Table. Taimie Karppinen She will go through life on the light fantastic toe. Taimie's a good pal. She's a perfect little dancer for gymnasium, and dancing at Saima helped her to keep fit. Her sunny smile and curly locks were seen at nearly all the school dances. Vhen talking with Taimie you were quite apt to hear her say, Oh, how thick — a favorite expression of hers. Hockey, olleyball, Basketball, Write-up Com- mittee. Janina Mary Kesanourska She taketh most delight in sports and dancing. Janina was with us only e ery other week, for, as a part-time student, she worked at the Normal School. On the Shirley bus she was always ready- to take part in any amusement which presented itself. Irene Hattie Kincaid .4 kindly word for all hath she. Irene is a happy-go-lucky little blonde. .As a marshal she could not terrorize the sophomores, for her smile would belie her upbraidings. Irene turned her spare time into good use by selling all sorts of edible pastries at the Penny Br -n. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), The Messiah, Glee Club (2), Junior Class Party Committee, Marshal, Senior Class Party. 1932 f Theda Mary Knox A friend iti need is a friend indeed. We are sure the High School office wouldn't have been run right without Theda. The Head can more than vouch for that. We expect to see her secretary to the governor some day. A certain young man from Leominster is said to occupy most of Theda's time. Too bad, Fitchburg. Theda's greatest as- sets are her friendlv grin and her good nature. Holy City, Dramatic Club (4), Basketball (4). Helen Ida Kontunen Who loves not knowledge? Helen is one of those rare students whose greatest pleasure is in getting their lessons well done. She always finds the knowledge she seeks. If all were like Helen, the teachers would have little to flo. Helen is a member of the Commercial Course. W e think she will continue her studies in that direction by going to a Business College. Glee Club (2), Dramatic Club (4), Basketball (3-4), Hockey (4), Volleyball (3). Ernest Verner Koski A young man of many faculties. Ciood fellowship and accommodation manifest themselves here. He has the great virtue of de- pending on his own judgment. We hope Ernest will be more earnest and seek to achieve such suc- cess as he has in basketball. Basketball. Toivo Ilmari Krock He who has patience may conquer the world. Toivo arouses our enthusiasm, for when he loses anything, he makes the best of what remains. He is ready to swap enjoyments that he cannot ha e for those that he can. His basketball powess will not soon be forgotten. Amelia Sophie Kurtyka A curly headed maid. One cannot look at Amelia without admiring her curly hair, and it is a natural curl, too. She was a part-time student, and delighted in typing French sentences for Miss Fuller. Amelia's radiant smile won her manv friends. Alexander Charles Kwayeski Go, get me hither paper, ink, and pen. The above quotation fit,s Alex to a T. His witty remarks seldom failed to put the class in an uproar. No girl held his special attention because he was too busy studying. Oh, I can't be bothered with them! was his reply. Maybe we ha 'e here a fu- ture professor. Business Manager of The Boulder. 1932 THIRTY-ONE f Rudolph Arthur Laakso Who mixed reason uilh pleasure, and wisdom 'dilli mirth. There are just two classes in the scholastic world. The sharks and the duds. Rud - is of the former, lie likes his sciences especially well. He is a swim- mer of merit, a good track man, and gymnast. Councillor (2-3), Relay Team (3-4). Beatrice LaFleur Her eyes zcere bright and merry. Beatrice is one of those girls who attract atten- tion. -More than one girl envies Bea her beautiful eyes, which are big and brown. .Although few of us have heard her play, she's a marvelous pianist and she's right there when it comes to popular songs. Paavo Lahti Here see in triumph rise the hero from the dust. One of our foremost athletes! Pete graced the football field, the basketball floor, the baseball dia- mond, and the track with an equal amount of skill. He is also a fine scholar. His plans for the coming year are not made yet. Football (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Baseball 2-3-4), Track (3-4). Olavi Martin Lahtinen His actions speak strong. Lahti is a serious minded gentleman and pleasant. His accomplishments in e.xtra-curricular activities are many (see .Athletics). He steps the niftiest 440 in the countr ', served as captain of both track and relay teams, plac ed entl on the football team, and back on the basketball team. How he does all these things and keeps his nose to the grindstone of studies is truly a puzzler. Football (2-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Track (2-3-4). Junior-Senior Relay (3-4). Violet Edna Laitala Sober, steadfast, and demure. X'iolet is another very shy, little miss. She goes around to her different classes ery quietly and minds her own business. 'ery seldom does it hap- pen that the marshals have to tell her to refrain from talking in the corridors. Her delightful smile and disposition have made her a favorite with both teachers and pupils. Track (2). Dramatic Club (2-4). Marie Jeanne LaPalme have immortal longings in me. Marie is very cordial, always smiling, anti always ready to help someone forget his sorrows. .Although she likes to ha e a lot of fun, she ne -er neglects her lessons. -Marie expects, some day, to be an opera star. Dramatic Club. Cilee Club, French Club, Operet- tas (3-4), Hockey (4). THIRTY-TWO Brynhilda Alberta Larson Her blue eyes shine with heavenly light. Demure, versatile, and lovely is this light-haired maid. She never seems to see life as dull or un- eventful. Rryn was always trotting home with a load of books, but beyond that we cannot say. Basketball, Glee Club (2-3-4). Yvonne Hermine Leblanc Thy modesty is a candle to thy merits. Yvonne, another short girl, was a modest young lady, and fair to look upon. We shall remember her for her dark hair and soft brown eyes. We must all agree that there is a charm about this modest maid, especially when she gives us one of her delightful smiles. Helvi Mary Leikkanen What sweet delights a quiet life affords. Heh'i, a rather quiet girl, came from 'estminster. She possesses a ver ' good nature and a generosit ' which induced her to help wherever she could. Heh'i seems to find pleasure in her tasks which she accomplishes faithfully. She has a good ear for music. Bradley Wheeler Leonard A taste for books, which is still the pleasure and glory of my life. Who wrote Rasselas ? If you are in doubt consult Bradley who may be our future Librarian. In class he was often called upon to impart his knowledge of literature and our public librars . Bradley was always the center of a group discussing books. French Club (2-3), Library Council (2).

Ellen Patricia Lombard Between the earth and heaven high. There is no maid as fair as she. Brown hair, lovely eyes, a becoming smile or what have you, sum up Ellen. She adores dancing and is often present at our school hops. She has a wealth of extraordinary expressions Basketball (2), Volleyball (2). Brenton Webber Lowe Let us theji be up and doing With a heart for any fate. You'll know Brent for he is the shorter of the two. But that's the only way you can tell Brenton and George apart. The two ran the Red and Gray humor section, the two managed the football team, and both are witty and enjoy each other's jokes immensely. Brent brings home the bacon in his subjects.

Jean is a pingpong enthusiast, and is ven- adapt at the game. There is nothing she enjoys more than horseback riding, unless it is a good horse show. She makes a good guard in basketball. .Next ear Jean plans to go to the University of X'ermont. Basketball. Phyllis Marjorie Luchford Come and trip it us you go On the light fantastic toe. Phyllis is one of the happiest girls in the class. When it comes to dancing, Phil is right there. Phil at the age of fi e, according to famiU' records, was known to hop, skip, and jump all o er the West End, so we surmise that dancing comes natural to her. She was known to studv on rare occasions. c;iee Club (2-3-4), Holv Citv, The Messiah, Hockey (2-3), Basketball (2-4). ' Alfred Andrew Lundberg Silence best speaks the mind. .Alfred is one of our quiet classmates who studies hard and is rewarded with good marks. He looks so much like his twin brother that we find it difficult to tell one from the other. He is not interested in athletics, but he gets much enjoyment from hunting and fishing. Alvar Andrew Lundberg A requisite qualification for success is good health. Anyone who knows Al -ar well knows how alive he is. He is quick, graceful, strong, and command- ing. He is ne er afraid of gi ing his opinions, and can ne er be made to appear ridiculous. When one is so virile in mind, it is natural to suppose he is virile in physical qualities. Hence he is a g mnast, plays a staunch game of football, and can hit a rab- bit at fifty yards. Frank Angelo Lunetta The very flower o f youth. Franky is a dark, curly headed grocer who knows how to deii er the goods. On the football team he was an important member because of his power and aggressixeness. We hope in the near future to see a chain store open under his management. Football. John Michael Luniewicz But, oh, he dances such a wayl No sun upon Easter-day Is half so fi ne a sight. John is a tall, well built, handsome fellow, who would rather dance than eat. John is a booster of all social acti -ities, especially dances, which he never fails to attend. He was also one of the best runners on the Junior relay team. John seems to make friends wherever he goes. Football (2), Track (3-4), Relay (3-4), THIRTY-FOUR 1932 Allie Ilona Lybeck She hath a natural i wc sincerity of simple truthfulness. Here is an attractive, likeable lassie. She is al- ways ready for fun. -Athletics hold special interest for Allie. Oh, yes — and dancing. A boy does not have to worry about his feet when he has .' llie in his arms, for she knows how to trip the light fan- tastic. Basketball (2-3-4), 'olleybalI (2-3-4), Track (2), Hockev (2). David Hill MacFarlane My heart is like a singing-bird. Dave is another who studied, worked, and had a general good time. He has a good disposition. He did not seem to be attracted by anything especially, unless we except English, or was it just the opposite? Dave has a rich tenor voice and has sung at a good many musical entertainments. Glee Club, I elle of Bagdad, Oh Doctor, iMikado. Edna Margaret Mackey She is sn circumspect and right. Edna is one of those rare persons who do a great many things well. Her scholarship record is among the very highest. She took part in man ' outside activities and went about her numerous occupations in a quiet but very efficient and thorough manner. Edna's dearest hobby is reading, but she enjo s herself greativ in skating and dancing also.

'ith a gay smile and a blithe disposition she trips along life's path- way in a joyous happ '-go-lucky way. Hildegarde has a constant store of the latest slane expressions, with which she amuses her friends. .She spent man - happy hours in her fa orite sports, skating and dancing. Jeanette Anna Madigan The world is bright before thee Its summer flowers are thine. Jeanette, one of our West Fitchburg pupils, is an enthusiastic piano player. For several years she took lessons in classical music, but during her Senior year she took up jazz. She likes children and in- tends to study at a children's hospital after gradua- tion. Glee Club, Basketball, Volleyball. Eva Maria Maki What wondrous lije is this I lead. Eva is a small, joyous girl possessing a delightful chuckle which others cannot resist. Her cheerful countenance can make an Egyptian mumimy smile in return. She enjoys swimming and skating more than any other sports, but she does not like to dance. In fact one of her friend? has said, You can't pay her to go to a dance, Volleyball, Basketball. n 1932 Helvie Aalotar Maki Man has his n-ill: Woman lias her way. Hel ie is a carefree, talkative lassie. One can always depend on her for con ersation. She was an arrlent attendant at football games and a member of the school council her last year. She takes an unusual interest in dancing. Basketball (2), Track (2). Sylvi Irene Maki O happy earth, Whereott thy innocent feel do roer tread. On with the dance! How Sylvi does enjoy her dancing' Is it because of a certain orchestra which had a great attraction for her? She always greets one with a quiet, demure smile. She enjoys joining the crowds who frequent the theatres as a pastime. When she isn't there or dancing, we may find her at home reading, or, in the winter, skating. Basketball{2). Richard Manooshian Music hath charms. What our band or orchestra could have done with- out Richard we cannot say, for he faithfully tooted his clarinet during his high school cour.se. Richard cannot decide whether to lea e Fitchburg and take his place with other famous musicians or stay here and teach the future generation. Band (2-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4). Hiski Matson Mirth IS the sweet wine of human life. Ever and anon Hiski could be seen wearing a broad, not to say puckish grin as he meandered thro ugh the corridors. He liked to spend his study periods in 27 scanning the news sheets. Basketball is his favorite pastime. Junior-Senior Relay.

Glee Club (2-3), Dramatic Club (2). Constance Tyrrell Mylott A kindly word for all hath she. Connie is a slender, small individual who would appear utterly lost in one of those huge armchairs.

Therefore she has wisely chosen to become a nurse after graduation. Basketball (2-3), Dramatic Club (4). Paul Nahigian Blessed is he who is not afraid to voice his opinion. Paul probably wouldn't qualify for the position of a circus giant, but he certainlv makes up for his lack of stature in other ways. You ought to hear him — and you can't help hearing him — in the chem- istry class. He'll try anything once, and some of the answers he continually volunteers make even Mr. Sullivan look pained. Dorothy Rosalie Nantelle Cheerfulness is a friend of grace. Dot is one of the cheerful members of our class, for which there is a good reason.

Dramatic Club (2-,S), Basketball (3). Ruth Helen Tibbetts Her face was very fair to see. Ruth is the proud possessor of a very bewitching dimple. Vhene er she smiles no one can help no- ticing it. She is a tall, attractive girl and carries herself with grace and poise. If anybody should, perchance, happen to see Ruth without her side- kick Charlotte, what would happen? Dramatic Club (4). John Edwin Tiilikkala He who has a good demeanor has one of the highest graces. Edwin exhibits a model beha -ior, and quiet dig- nit '. He takes a real interest in his school work, but is probably more of an outdoor man than a scholar. His choices are sound. Toivo John Tommila But he deep musing o'er the mountain strayed Through many thickets of the woodland shade. Toy did not take school seriously. Far more he enjoys following the trail in quest of game or fish. He is agile in gjni work, especially on the bars, although he is modest in displaying his ability. f 1932 f Wilma Dagmar Turunen Of softest manners, unaffected wind; Lover of peace and friend of human kind. Wilma is a peaceful and amiable person. She en- joys dancing and is noted for her ability in that diversion. Sports of all kinds, especially swimming, attract her. Wilma takes after the family in that she likes to drive around in her car. We hear that Leominster has some attractions for her. She en- joyed watching the football and basketball games. Glee Club (2-,?). Helen Kaarina Ukkola Her very frowns are fairer far, than smiles of other maidens are. Helen is one of our attractive, tall girls who car- ries herself with such grace that she attracts notice wherever she goes. Sports appeal to Helen. She is an excellent basketball and volleyball player. An- other delight of hers is dancing. She is an in alu- able aid to many of her girl friends, for she is an expert coiffeuse. Track (2), Hockey (2), Basketball (3), Volley- ball (3), Dramatic Club. Alberta Marie Vienneau Work before pleasure. Alberta is an industrious Commercial Course student. Shorthand seems to hold a peculiar fas- cination for her. Whenever you see Alberta, she is always faithfully studying for which she has been rewarded by her good marks. Between periods she believes very much in the motto, Laugh your troubles away. French Club, Dramatic Club, Basketball. Lois Alberta Walker She is a winsome lass. Lois! Here is a girl for you, particularly when it comes to riding a bicycle, building a campfire, or taking long hikes. She has scored many points on our hockey, basket, and volleyball teams. Every- thing she does is done cheerfully and with a good will. Lois is a member of the Westminster Girl Scouts. Basketball (3-4), Volleyball (3-4), Hockey (4 ). Pinckney Heyward Walker Though vanquished be, he could argue still. Pinckney's southern accent charms us all. It adds great interest and sometimes amusement to his recitations. That argumentative ability of his is manifest in all his classes as well as in the Debating Club. Dramatics and his work in the orchestra kept Pinckney busy.

Irene Elizabeth Walsh Silence has many advantages. Irene is short with red hair and blue eyes. She doesn't let her studies bother her much. Irene is an enthusiastic basketball and volleyball player. Her activities include playground work and Com- munity Clubs. She plans to go in training for a nurse. Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4). 1932 f Joseph Francis Ward A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-niorrcnus. A single adjective characterizes Joe — inimitable. Whether in the classroom or on the stage, he found no difficulty in expressing himself with spontaneity and conviction. He aspires to the bar, and who knows but what he may emerge a modern Cicero. If personality is synonymous with success, then surely, Joe is already on a sure footing.

Peter Vilho Wartiainen The independent man is ready to grapple with any problem This resolute, free spirited young man guides his own essel. Instead of being pliable to outside in- fluences, he depends upon his own opinions and will. His farm life has taught him not to run through life at random, but to live in earnest, and to persevere in his work Elinor Roberta Welch Mttsic is well said to be the speech of angels. Nan played a violin in the orchestra, and thereby- helped the general effect. She attended all the football games and cheered enthusiastically, but mostly, Ch! Oh! for one of the plungers of the back- field. Elinor took the snapshots for the Class Book, so, if your nose is tilted, blame her. She in- tends to go to Normal and thence to impart the light of her knowledge to the world. French Club f2-3i.

Dorothy Helen Wells O happiness of sweet retired content! -Although we often see Dot around school, we seldom hear her. She is quiet, serene, and restful. Dot likes sports, especially girls' sports, such as olleyball, basketball, and hockey. She played on nearh' all the girls' teams. Dot likes drawing and is a fairly clever artist. Basketball. Phyllis Wheeler .1 loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. Here is a young lady who dotes on fun when it's handy. Due to her jolly nature, she is always laughing. Phil is a dark-haired lassie with eyes that flash whenever she is up to something. .An excel- lent friend to have when one needs cheering up. Basketball (3-4). William Earle Whelan . Victories that are easy are cheap. Battleship Bill, as the spwrts writers call him. is our broadest smiler. There would be something very wrong, indeed, if Bill emerged from a scrimmage on the court, on the grid-iron, or in an equation test without a wide grin. He has a jaunty happy-go- lucky way about him and seems to take everj'thing as being in the dav's work. Football (2-3-4)', Basketball (2-3-4), Marshal. 1932 S 1 Sidney Parmenter White Kind as a king upon his coronation day. Syd is a very well-liked chap of the quiet type. This quietness hides some of his fine qualities, but should he be challenged by an intriguing problem, his general ability appears. He is one of the high- lights of the orchestra and band, and can be found usually near something musical. Band (2-3-4). Orchestra (2-3-4 Marshal, Com- poser of Class Song, Class Motto Committee. Irving Wilbur Whitney I am as free as nature first made man. Nonchalant — yes. Nothing in this wide world seems to worry him. He helped to deliver news- papers every afternoon from Depot Square, so his is not a life of pleasure entirely. He loves to worry Miss Miner by skipping out the si.xth hour before the second bell. Charles Henry Whittemore Plain speech is better than much wit. Charlie is known to most of us because of his masterful use of words. We expect he'll be an orator some day. He is also interested in hunting, which occupies much of his time outside of school. Dorothea Helen Wilcox Happy am I, from care I'm free, Why cotddn't they all be contented like me? The above quotation certainly fits Dot to a T. With Dot around, you are always sure to have a good time for she certainly makes things hum in the old high school. Dot, though good looking, has not marked out any special one yet as the object of her affections. But she's good-natured and is the possessor of a pleasing smile and way. From what we now hear. Dot will become a nurse. Festival of Bagdad, Oh Doctor, Mikado, Glee Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Basket- ball (4), Hockey (4). Richard Arnold Wilkinson Laugh and be merry. Red, after the fashion of titian-haired people, is a barrel of fun. No class is safe when he appears, and you might as well put your books aside and give yourself up to laughter, for he is the despair of the teachers. Red helped in the Sweater Shop — es- pecially in stretching girl's berets. Councillor (2), Glee Club (4), Class Play. Francis Williams A Fora and a wrench and I will he happy! When Skid was a small child, it is reported, he liked to play with tin cans. We fear that it left a lasting impression on the poor boy's mind as he spends considerable time repairing Fords. When not thus engaged he has a keen regard for Waites Corner. The . remainder of his time is spent in studying. Noted for his ability to hypnotize Fords. Baseball, Football, Assistant Manager of Junior Relay Team. 1932 FIFTY-THREE Marion Louise Wilson A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial happy way she had. Wherever there is mischief, Marion is sure to be in it. If e er sports of any kind are mentioned, she al va s shows a keen interest. If a teacher tells Marion to stop talking, she always wants to keep right on. Marion er - seldom lets an -thing worr - her, especially in the homework line. After graduation she is planning to take up nurs- ing. Track (2), Hockev (2-3-4). Basketball (2-3-4). olleyball (2-3-4). Eino Walter Winter Stout of courage, strong of hand. Eino is a young man who is never afraid of hard work. He takes hold of a job with a will that does one good to see. Any day you may see him work- ing on the farm in Westminster. Hence his ro- bustness and good health. In school he is shy, but always good-natured and amiable. Arlene Louise Wittekindt Sober, steadfast, and demure. . rlene is a slender, auburn-haired girl, who has never troubled us with much e.xcitement and from whom we rareh- hear unnecessar - talk. She has a keen sense of humor. W e hear Arlene is planning to become a nurse. Her chief pastime is visiting the Fitchburg. Noted for her lovely hair and quiet manner. Banner Committee, Dramatic Club, Basketball. Ellen Eleanor Wonkka Cheerfulness and content are great beauiifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks. Ellen is one of the fairer members of the class. Vou see her with a broad smile and several books hurrying to her classes. She has managed to ap- pear on the honor roll during her High School career. X'olleyball, Tennis, Hockey. Arthur Moulton Wright ride the world below with a joyful mind. Art and his saxophone are so inseparable that he has been nick-named Rudy. This is a high com- pliment to Arthur's skill as a musician, but it is. ne ertheless, well merited. Many a party has been cheered by the strains of Art's Saxophobia. W e hope Arthur will keep on cheerfully pla 'ing through life. Orchestra (2-3-4), Band (2-3-4). John Joseph Yasaitis He is never alone who is in the compan-y of noble thoughts. John is a Spanish caballero. Last year he car- ried away the prize in the Spanish Prize examina- tion. Although he is not studious, he always has his lessons done, which is proved by his continual appearance on the Honor Roll. He likes dancing and all out-door sports, especially skating.

The roles are rich in character delineation, the plot moves rapidly, and humorous situa- tions abound. The scene is laid in Bridget O'Rourke's boarding house, where live Eddie and Kay Ellison, a young married couple, and Jane and Larry, who are in love. The play opens on a crucial morning after they have all lost their jobs. The mood is created in the opening scene in which Kay wakes Eddie with exasperating effort. A stolen necklace, which is left to Larry and Eddie by a former friend, a crook, brings about many dramatic situations. Much hilarity and confusion are added by the colored maid, Sorrow. The climax is unique and thrilling in its in- tensity. Detective Welch, the morose antagonist of Eddie and Larry, is van- quished in the end, to everyone's delight.

C' 1932 '] SEVENTY-ONE September 8. At last we're Seniors! Doesn't it fee! great? 9. I came back to earth with a bang with homework. After all my dreams, we Seniors proved to be just human beings in school. 10. The Sophomores are still wondering and wandering around with blank ex- pressions. Did we ever look like that? 11. Well, of all things! Even Seniors have grammar and spel ling. 14. Long periods today. But by having first lunch for the first time in m - life, I managed to subsist. 15. A math test, already! 16. Ho hum, these dreary days! Now we can begin to long for our next summer's vacation. 17. The traffic continues slow. We certainly need a speed limit. I'd suggest 29 5 11 minutes from Room 8 to 44. 18. We elected our class officers today. President. Waino Aalto; 'ice-Presi- dent. Mary Albro; Secretary, Nancy Norton; Treasurer, Donald Chalmers. 21. The first council meeting was held.

There were a score of old familiar faces in school today, proving their affec- tion for F. H. S. 24. The French Club held its first meeting today. The officers are Victor Beauvias, President; Myra Bull, Vice-President; Joseph Ward, Treasurer: Cecile Fregeau, Secretary. 25.

A friendly dog entertained during Vergil class and gave wondrous examples of how the Romans pronounced nasal m's. The Juniors in aded the assem- bly hall. October 1. Three cheers! Senior assembly and color day. The class officers spoke and told us to save our pennies for expenses. 2. Strange to say the usual line in front of the mirror in the girl's locker room was missing today. 3. For once 13 is a lucky number for us, when we won by that score, and Provi- dence Tech got 0. 5. Need any grasshoppers for Biology? Call on Miss Gibbon's Senior gym class, where the latest styles of hopping and flopping are exhibited daily. 6. Class dues today! I managed to find, by hook and crook, the fifty cents. 7. The marshals had a meeting today and elected Howard Miller, Chief Marshal. Watch out. Sophomores! 8. The Dramatic Club held its first meeting. Two delightful plays were pre- sented by the Seniors. 9. I heard rumors about having four marking periods this year instead of five — well, I should worry! 12. A holiday! But of course, I left my homework for the last minute. 13. Today the Debating Clubs held their first meetings. 14. Rien d'important. 15. The sophisticated Sophomores seize the assembly hall. 16. Elinor Welch was absent, and Johnny Yasaitis went deer-hunting. 19. The manly marshals have recently given evidence of a sweet tooth. 20. Judgment was pronounced on members of the Senior class by The Boulder write-up committee. 21. Charlotte Proctor (near the library) : Oh dear, I forgot to button the house! 22. Miss Dunn certainly deserves to be praised, for she has perceived that we are not all intended to be poets. 23. Miss Lash from Boston University gave an Inspiring talk to the girls on the College of Practical Arts and Letters. 24. Framingham is to be complimented for the fine showing of its team, 12 to 12! 26. I had my picture taken today — but then, we can't all be beautiful, in spite of our weekly training in rompers. 27. The Debating Clubs elected officers today. Joseph Ward and Anne Geiger are the respective presidents. 28. In an extra council meeting plans were discussed for the Athol game, the profits of which are to be given to the Fitchburg relief fund. 29. Tests keep coming like autumn fogs, thick, fast, and gloomy. 30. At the jovial Hallowe'en dance of the Dramatic Club, Professor Prophesitis (George Asselta) told fortunes. November 2. Hurray! For once school closed ten minutes earh'. 4. Woe unto me — a chemistry test! 5. At last, an assembly! Mr. Howe entertained us with delightful monologues. Claramae Cady, Chairman of the Thanksgiving Dance committee, urged us all to attend. 6. Praised be Teachers' Conventions! No school. 9. Strange to say, a number of people have suddenly decided to drag home great loads of books. I wonder if they need the exercise. 1932 SEVENTY-THREE in. Today we had a big drive to sell tickets for the Athol ame for the benefit of the unemployment fund. 11. Another holiday! Is it possible? 12. At a general assembly this morninj good reports were heard from the ticket sale. 13. Friday, the thirteenth! A great black cloud hangs over the school. 14. Venerunt, sed vidimus et vicimus — and how! Fitchburg, 34 — Quincy, 0. 16. That cloud has burst! With rain outside and rain inside, report cards were handed out. Well, all days can't be bright and sunny. 18. From poets to dramatists! One-act plays are due from us soon. What next? 19. The Sophomores had their day by having an assembly and gi ing plays at the Dramatic Club meeting. 20. A profit of over 551,600 has been received from the Athol game. 23. A bright Senior: My head is never muddled up during tests. It's always clear, for there's nothing in it. 25. A football rally was held. We sang songs, practiced new cheers, and heard Mr. Amiott and Mayor Carriere speak. 26. The crowning glory! Fitchburg, 24 — Leominster, 7.

Although long awaited, you arrived unexpectedly soon. 4. Back to the grind again!

Our high school was greatly honored by a visit from Mr. Thorndike, a fa- mous English actor. In the afternoon and evening, Macbeth and As You Like It, given by the Ben Greet players, were enjoyed by many pupils. 6. The Shirley pupils had some excitement on the ice this morning. And were they tardy? Oh! Oh! 7. Senior assembly! Mr. Parkinson spoke on Decisions, a very good topic for most of us just now. 8. The sad hour of parting is certainly drawing nigh; our Class Song is due soon. 11. Just imagine having such southern weather all winter right here in our city! 13. Bad news out of a clear sky! Smallpox has broken out in Fitchburg. 14. All the town talk is : Have you been vaccinated ? Yeh. Wanna see it? 15. There was keen competition at the annual open meeting of the Dramatic Club. Naturally, the Seniors were far superior to the rest, and won the cup. Congratulations, cast! 18. The few who could display no punctured arms or legs were initiated in school to the Vaccination Society. 21. Another of those grievous Chem tests. 28. Even our eyes are now being examined. What next? February 1. Well, report cards weren't so bad, after all. 2. Our class book certainly is famous. We received the first order today from California. 4. The first meeting of the Round Table, composed of honor pupils from Miss Dunn's English classes, was held this afternoon. The club promises to be very enjoyable and profitable. 5. An alarming number of pupils failed to emerge from the thick covering of snow which enveloped Fitchburg and vicinity last night.

Undoubtedly our class contains talent. 15. Lately Old Man Winter has amused himself by nipping our noses an unde- sirable red. 16. Mr. Hubbard: What is the construction of eo die? Jean Lowell: Ablative of time. Mr. Hubbard: What time? Jean: Daytime. 17. Anticipating history students fiocked to the assembly hall to see some slides. But alas!

The same team, composed of Mary Baldwin, Natalie Altieri, Nancy Norton. Edna Mackey, Evelyn Smith, Beatrice Miller, and Captain Ruth Ander- son, was the school champion in basketball and also volleyball, a record of which we are proud indeed. In the Senior year, the same Co-eds won the class championship in both hockey and basketball in spite of hearty opposition by the other teams of our class.

End HLSI From the Rushin' Outside the humble house of Peter Whelanski the fitful wind rustled the autumn leaves on a dull Xoxember af- ternoon. The house stood on the edge of the little vil- lage of Westminograd. The sun was sinking low in the horizon and the air was chill in a lowering sky. W ithin the house the humble peasant family of Whe- lanski was grouped about the samovar; Peter, his wife Anna Durkinska, his brother-in-law Ivan FloodofT, and his cousin .Alexander Lunetta itch. The geese are flying south, said h an, returning from the window from which had been viewing the drean,-, fro- zen landscape. Soon winter will be here. .A sudden gust of wind made the leaves dance and rattled the win- dow pane. I hear ladamir Resnicki was fined 50 kopecs by the Soviet council yesterday for hoarding butter, he added, turning to the table. Yes, and Stepan Hardov had his horse and cow taken from him last week, replied Peter, removing his pip e from his mouth. The door opened and in a swirl of leaves and dust, Paul Millerin and Sonia E anoff , adopted by the Whelanskis, entered. Sonia tossed her cigarette in the fire and re- moving her hat shook her dark bobbed hair. The council heard three cases today. They acquited Leo Colburnsky and . icholas Oultonitski, but Andrew Morinoff' was sent to the lumber camps as a counter revo- lutionist. The door was suddenly thrown open toadmit fourstern men with rifles. The foremost held a paper in his hand. The Cheka! I have a warrant here for the arrest of Paul Millerin as a counter revolutionist. The boy paled, while his mother threw her arms about him, sobbing. Come, said agent Dimitri Kwa eski. The bov rose and the door closed. The mother buried her head in her hands, while his sister examined her nails critically. From outside came the honk of geese fl ing south.

As the system is of in- terest to ail, and, as it might come into effect at F. H. S., we ha e seen fit to explain it herewith. The new system pro ides for markings in athletics, dress, health, dancing, and gum-chewing. A percentage of 75 is given for the aforesaid and a percent of 25 is given for studies. The system is said to work very well with the students and we hope for its installment here. All in favor say, Aye. Movies Now that the Chemistry department supplies us with a feature movie about once a week it seems that the time is here for bigger and better mo ies. What this school needs is a good Micky Mouse cartoon and vaudeville featuring Bill Whelan and Johnny Luniewicz. With this incenti -e the students would be sure to study Chemistry rather than be ejected from class. SCHOOL NOTES The Thursday night cast wished to amuse Mr. Mailloux so they prepared to give for his benefit a Milton ic Mask. Laura Route took the part of Comus, goddess of peace. In the course of the play, 'tis said, she was to receive an olive branch and a dove. The olive branch was duly presented, but no dove was forthcoming. Say, who's going to give me the bird? asked Laura. Don Chalmers came right back with, The audience, of course. W'here does the Red and Gray get all its Lowe humor, we are asked, Don't you think one has to be pretty Hardy to appreciate it? Mr. Bouvier announced recently that his Aalto section was Norton the pitch. November 13 saw a meeting in the corridor of the Checkered Club, I mean Checker Club. Joe Ward is chairman and Stevens ably helps him. A general dis- cussion on moves, attacks, and jumps was in progress when a marshal surprised the club with an order, Be quiet, please! Yes, it's a moving club. The Dramatic Club held a meeting on December 10. Walker gave a monologue called, Southern Maidens. He gave it in a masterly fashion for he knew his subject. Two enthusiastic scholars gave a play entitled, V 'hen You Come Home at Night. The play went over fa- mously because it was so realistic. The players' names cannot be given, for they were not recognizable after the play and I neglected to get them when the list of the cast was read. The Talkie Club held a meeting the other day. Edythe Forest was chairman. The subject for discus- sion was, A Cal'fornia Redwood, and the participator soon got lost among its many branches. When the meeting was adjourned, they were still in the woods looking for a blazed trail. ATALANTA I run alone. While far behind Poor Pinckney with despairing moan Trudges along with ever-failing wind. Yet as I race across the finish line — the first, O, tell me, indulgent Heaven, why I thirst For greater glory in my victory? Why do I wish to make 3.33? And yet I . run alone. BOOK CHATS Shobert Rerman Reading time: (Oh, what do you care. 'S'ou won't finish it, anyway). Among the many new books on our library shelves is the New International Dictionary, by Funk Wag- nalls. It displays an excellent use of words and a splen- did vocabulary, but the plot seems a bit rambling. The plot has a smashing windup when good old Xylophone crashes through with the heroine, little Zythum. Another of the new books is The Census Reports, by the U. S. ( .overnment, in which one finds a decided realism. The facts are a little bare, but understanding is guaranteed complete. I do hope it is not thought too racy with such a predominant sex element. There is also The Telephone Book, by Alexander Graham Bell, for anyone who loves accounts of aristo- cratic families. I know that the setting is somewhat local, but 1 do think the author brings out the vista of distance. ATHLETICS Messrs. Geo. Hardy and Brent. Lowe of this school have been chosen members of the All State Managers Team. The judges state that the foregoing were chosen for qualities which set them apart from all other mgrs. in the state. Hardy's penchant for running errands on those long legs of his distinguished him, while Lowe's peculiar province seems to be the showing of young ladies from the H.S. about Crocker Field Coach Amiott stated that he has never before had two such competent men. Quote Hardy and Lowe are certainly great little managers. Why, given half a chance, they'd try managing me. Unquote. Principal Chalmers stated that, so far as he knew, the only fault possessed by either of the boys was Hardy's athlete's foot. Asked if he had any statement for the press, Mr. Hard - is reported to have said, I'd rather have athlete's foot than athlete's head. Mr. Lowe concurred with, Hello, Daddy! It was a great fight and the best man won. I'll be home in the morning. Dclrap noos era yenom sih dna loofa. Shlimskcol ta shgual evol.
