Our president's winning personality has gained for him the friendship of both his fel- low students and teachers. He excels on the basketl)all court and as captain has led the team to a successful season. His participation in sports of all kinds has not affected his scho- lastic record for we find Ray's name on the High Honor Roll. We usually see him riding luxuriously to school every morning in Dub's honorable chariot.

Priscilla Kennev The joy of youth tiriJ hriillh lirr ryes display' d , And rase of heart her every look eonveyed. Priscilla has been the gayest and most charm- ing secretary a class could ever have. Her name has appeared on the Honor Roll through her high school career. She was tremendously interested in the 1931 football team and '32 track team — for some reason or other — but, then, she has always been a loyal supporter of all high school activities. No doubt, Pris- cilla's pleasing personality will be of great help to her in later life.

(iay Ethel, who is social leader, actress, stu- dent, and athlete all in one! Her popularitv among her classmates was confirmed this year bv her re-election as vice-president of the Senior class. Ethel is often seen at Crocker field dur- ing football season. Perhaps she is interested in tennis, who knows? Her ability in the gym has been excelled only by her tine work behind the footlights.

Jerry was elected treasurer of his class in his Jimior year and was given that honor again in his Senior year. His ability in dramatics and in athletics is only excelled by his capacity to make friends. Perhaps this is due to the fact that he is the possessor of dark curly hair, blue eyes, and a faculty of speech that has had its effect on many people.

Betty is one of the most popular and talented girls in our class. Her lovely voice has done much to make successful operettas given by the Glee Clubs. However, one of her chief assets is her good nature. She can usually be found mak- ing someone laugh. Her support of all school activities has been unsurpassed. Therefore, it is onlv natural that she should l e our Senior cheer leader. Hockey (2), Open Meeting (3), Junior-Senior Reception Committee, Mikado.

Marv is one of the girls who uphold the Senior Class scholastically. She is always prepared to recite in everv class. She is co-editor of the Red and Cirav, ' and is an enthusiastic member of the French and Dramatic clubs. Red and Gray Literary Department (3), Class Ring Committee (3), Co-Editor-in-Chief of Red and Grav, Senior Councillor, Marshal, Dramatic Club (3-4), French Club (3-4). Catherine Anastos To speak her mind she alivays dares. Catherine, without a douln, will prove an adept secretary, for she cerrainiv showed her fitness for such a vocation in her classes. She works for her father in the candy store. Catherine's special hobbies are tennis and swim- ming. She plans to continue her studies at a secretarial school next year. Doris Evelyn Anderson Siuift-footed to uphold the ru ht And to uproot the luroni . It was Doris who so capably filled the position of Editor-in-Chief of our class book. Dot likes tennis, swimming, and skating, and takes an active interest in the Drainatic Cluli. She is studious, and her name is always seen on the Honor Roll. We may expect to see her name fre()uently in news of Wellesley or Simmons next year, for Doris is a good sport and a grand friend.

Frances Isabel An evine llcr smde is like a rainboiv Franny divided her time between the High School and Crocker Field as secretary for Coach Amiott. Fran is an athlete herself and is a great rooter at all the games, especially baseball. We have often wondered why. Fran's pleasing per- sonality has made her very popular with her fel- low students. Her chief ambition at present is to become secretary to some well-known man. Basketball (3), Volleyball (3), Hockey (3), Class Color Committee (3), Joke Committee of Class Book, Words of Class Song. Elizabeth Frances Arnott Her little tongue is never still, Talk it must and talk it ivill. Betty is a great talker. She can find plenty to say on any subject, and probably finds this mate- rial in the great number of books she is so fond of reading. Betty has no plans for the coming vear, as yet, but we know that her mind will not be at ease until she has discovered her chosen vocation. Dramatic Club (3).

Her small size makes her seem younger than her classmates. She shows a wide- awake interest in her studies and is always ready to volunteer. She says she looks after her sis- ter's twin boys -which is no easy job. Although she likes to swim and skate, she enjoys too the (|iiiet pleasure of reading. She thinks she would like to attend Teachers' College. Hockey (2), Volleyball (2), Cllee Club (3). Walter Arslanian ivould railicr he right than he prrsiJrrit. Walter demands his rights and is willing to de- fend himself. Physically, he can compete with the best. His strength is often displayed in the gymnasium class. During the afternoons Walter works in a garage. He is interested in aviation and his hobbv is collecting aviation pictures. Football (2). Charles Henry Bacon The 'world hclongs to the energetic. If any work was to be done, Charlie was al- ways willing to do his share. After school he was busy peddling papers. He was a councillor during his Sophomore year. After graduation Charlie plans to attend the State Teachers' Col- lege. Councillor (2), Deiiating Club (4). Rose Frances Baglio Frame your mind to mirth and merriment. Rose is one of the happiest and gayest members of our class. Besides bubbling over with a keen sense of humor she is one of our versatile girl athletes. However, Rose's outstanding talent is y her ability to dance. We have always expected trr see her gracine; Broadway some day but much to our regret she tells us she is going to be a nurse. Dramatic Club (2-3), Hockey (2-3-4), Basket- ball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4). Arnold Francis Bakstran Since all aUoiv tliat manner make up the man. Arn is a tall fellow with black hair and eyes that twinkle mischievously. He is interested in driving, swimming, and dancing. In his Sopho- more and Junior years, he played basketball and football. Messiah (2), Football (4), Glee Club (4), Dramatic Club (3-4). Dwight Cliftpn Ballou Rapidity is a virtue. Keep moving is Dwight's motto. We ask you, Is he speedy? Especially when there's a fire! He knows every fireman and policeinan in town and insists on checking up on all fires whether they're at two in the morning or ten at night. Dwight has been prominent in several (Jlee Club programs, particularly the Mikado in 1932. Printing is his chief delight. Glee Club (2-3-4). if=ii ir=ii 1933 11= 1 IE=][ TWELVE 3BE 3 THE BOULDER E Eino John Barholm Grmc old iL-it i mc! The best is yet to he. It certainly enlivens a dry discussion in Eng- lish to have Eino in the class. He is always readv with a witty retort if the exactness of his answer is (luestioned. He is one of our studious classmates. His ability and willingness to help dumb German pupils are a big aid to the latter. Class Prophecy Committee. George Bernard Barnicle He is a matt of his oivti itiind. Golf is Barney's middle name. He spends most of his spare time at the Alpine Golf Links where his ability has outshone that of the best. George also shines as a commercial student. He plans to enter a business school next ear. Baseball (2-3-4). Thayer Oscar Baum Silettce has tttany advatttagcs. Thayer is one of the quiet members of our class. He is pleasant to everyone. All outdoor sports interest him, especially baseball and ice- hockey. Often he is seen at MacTaggart's Pond taking part in a hockey game. During the sum- mer months he is a caddv at the Oak Hill Coun- try Club. Agnes Alice Bean Studious she sat ivtth all her books around. Alice is a very unusual girl. Not only because she was one of the highest ranking students in our class, Chairman of the School Notes Depart- ment of the Red and Gray, and secretary of the French Club, but also because she is a very human young lady, and no t exclusively a student. Red and Gray Board (3-4), Dramatic Club (3-4), Glee Club (3), Mikado, French Club (4), Marshal. Charlotte Eleanor Beer She burns ivith the fire of good nature. Charlotte is well known in every phase of school life, athletic, social, and scholastic. Although the only school sport in which she participated was volleyball, she is a good rooter, and likes to skate and swim. She is good-natured, and is bound to give all those with her a good time. Volleyball (2), Dramatic Club (4), Thanks- giving Dance Committee (4), Write-up Commit- tee, French Chib (3-4). Charles Beldo Faithfuhtess attd sincerity are the highest things. Charles has a propensity for solitariness which is seldom broken by any effort on his part. He eschewed all school activities and intercourse with his classmates although he loves to roam the woods and fields and enjoy nature in all its splen- dor. 33G 3 THE BOULDER E Ha inond Maurice Kelliveau ;.( limbs arr cut in manly mold For luirdy spoils and contest bold. Ray i captain of our tia e')ali team and not only doe he shine in that sport hut he is our triple threat in footl)all and a star forward on the iiiin- tct. When he isn't at the St. Joseph Athletic Club he is attending a inox ie, where he acts as censor nnd critic free of charge. He also gives Mr. Homier a helping hand in the running of the Glee dull. Ray taxes Miss Ranney's resources to the iuiit in thinking up new methods of inducing him to gi c an oral report. Noted for his imitations of the Mills Brothers. Football (2-3-4), Basei all (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Glee Club (4). William Joseph Helliveau BriL-arr the jury of ii patient man. William is an out-of-doors fan. He enjovs hunting and fishing immensely and also goes in for all other amusements. He is a clean sport and can take a loss as well as win a victory. A'hen 'illiam is not busy with other pastimes, he enjovs the opportunitv to do some reading. Relay (3), Football (2-3-4). Catherine Marie Bemis Round hrr eyes her tresses jell, Which n-ere blackest none could tell. Catherine's jet black hair and piercing lilack e es mark her out from her fellow pupils. She is taking Latin because she hopes to take up the study of nursing at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston but admits it is a tough suliject. She is erv athletic in her outside interests and expresses a fondness for dancing, swimming, tennis, and orseback-riding. . female I.ochinvar. Raymond Joseph Bennett ounce of mirth is north a pound of sorron;. Rav certainly recei ed the boutjuet for being our chief noise maker. If the day seemed ur - usually (juiet, one could gather right awav that Rav had been hindered from making his appear- ance at school. He glided over the ice just as gracefullv as over the ballroom. Football and track appealed stronglv to him. Mikado, Oh Doctor! , Football (2), Cheer Leader (2-3), French Play (3), Relav Race (3). Dramatic Club Open Meeting (2-3), French Club (2-3-4), Dramatic Club 2-3-4), Glee Club (2-4). Walter Herbert Benson Let come ivhat n;ill, I mean to hear it out. Benny is a iuiet, sociable bov. He reads when- ever opportunity presents itself, which is often for he seldom does much hotnework. Benny ran for us in the Junior-Senior Relay and showed his oppo'icnts that he could step. Besides track, both football and basketli.nll have a place in Benny's athletic career. Track (2-3). Relav Team (3), 'Football (3-4). William Berkio H'here the stream runs smoothest , The nater is deepest. Bill started to come to school on the bus but then decided it would be cheaper to drive his own car. He tells us that he intends to work on a ranch next year. Why go way out west. Bill, when there are plentv of good farms in ew England ? 1933 FOURTEEN El THE BOULDER Dorothy Elizahetli Hernstone Catiinicss is not ahvays tlir attiihutr of innocence. Dot looked like a quiet girl but sometimes looks de(•ei c e en the liest of us. Dancing appealed strongly to her and she certainly could dance. No wonder she kept the slender figure that women so desire I Dot was undecided about her fulure plans. Bertha Ethel Bever Jusl II Utile i irl, most dear and tukintj. Hertha was a shv little miss. Although she was tiny, she could pla basketball and volley- ball as well as our t:il! girN. She enjoyed dancing and reading and, believe it or not, she found pleas- ure in doing homework! No wonder she got vuch good marks! Bertha worked for Miss Dunn e erv other week. Georgian;! Bicoules A comrade lilitlie and full of lee. Georgie is one of those girls who never seem to be worried very much about anything that usuall troubles others, such as homework, for instance. It is a pleasure to ha e her around because of her f rienilliness, good humor, and wit. She has no special hobbies because it takes all her time trying to make Bessie Svolis hurry. Hockey (2-31, Basketball (3-+), Volleyball (3-4). Robert Henry Hinglijm (• niay he small but he's the beU of them all. Bing was the snappy drum major who led the Fitchlnirg High School band at the football games. Music is one of his hobbies. He plays the drmns in an orchestra and is also a talented pianist. Bing'v enfhusias)ii and willingness to lend a hand in all school acti ities have made him indispen- sable to his class.

Ellis Edward Blomquist (■ mi.xed reason icith pleasure, and icisditm n-'l i mirth. Ellis unknown to many of us is well versed in the subject of radio. He can tell us just what happens on the inside. Sports also have a fas- cination for him. Ellis finds life good, enjoys it, and helps to make it more pleasant. Irene Yvonne Bordenave H e meet thee like a pleasant ihoui lit. Although Irene is a serene appearing girl in her classes, you would find that outside of class she is a jolly and witty companion. . great asset is her smile, for every time she smiled one had to smile in return. She likes swimming and hockey and has been a participant on the hockey and volleyball teams here. Hockey (2), Volleyball (2). 1933 THE BOULDER Lars (junner Boring. Jr. Zitiliius but modfsl. Not everyone can be so industrious and accom- plish so much in such an unconceited way as Cninnir. Inclined along mechanical lines he has l)iiilt many useful things. Afternoons he is em- ployed at the Sentinel Off ice and there exhibits his industrious nature. He is, however, full of fun :nul ery fond of joking. Theresa Mary Hourgault lie i (ii)d, f-nrrt niiiiJ, and lit iv io nill be clever. I'heiesa has llit proper dignity for a Senior. She works at her t pewriter with an earnestness that puts to shame the more nonchalant key-tap- pers on the fourth Hoor. Life seems to her a seri- ous thing although she enjoys volleyball and hockev. Her future plans are imsettled — leave them to D.Tine Fortune. Emil Bourque - (ijtiitii e to endure and tii obey. Emil vas one of those boys who stood be hind a counter and said politely May 1 help you please, or words to that effect. He spends a great deal of time collecting stamps and old coins. Martha .4u4usta Boutilier (■ ■ iniidesi looks a eottaye might adorn. I he early liird catches the worm is Martha's motto, and she'll also tell you that the early worm catches the bus. We hear that she likes the brisk Shirley air, and by loitering to enjoy it she is sometimes too late to catch the bus for F. H. S. Her studies never suffer in spite of the fact that her h()bb is ensnaring vouths with her charming smile. George Edward Bouvier Let us be knon-n by our deeds. George is the little fellow who makes all the noise at the football games, playing the cornet in the band ! When George gets a good book he's satisfied. He is vmdecided what to do next year, but vou can be sure that our classmate will be worthy of the class of '33. Band. Milton Charles Boyle .-1 careless son i, ivitli a little nonsense in it noix and then docs not mis-become a monarcli. Milton is an accomplished dancer, so much so that it is more of a sport than an avocation with him. He does not enter dance marathons, how- ever, because of lack of space in which to place the trophies. Swimming is another of his pastimes in which he seeks diversion from the strenuous routine encountered in acquiring an education. THE BOULDER Aaro Henry Brandt L'ljc is a jrst, and all thitigs s ww it; I thought so oner, but noiv I knozu it. A sleepy expression ! — Does Stevenson's Apol- ogy for Idlers apply here? Aaro enjoys life immensely daring the hunting season. He man- ages to get to school on time every morning by getting up early and working his thumb. He left us for a short time to try out other schools but finding them unsatisfactory and not up to our standard, he returned to become a member of our flock once more. Raymond Harvey Bray He's (I iniui to inakr is l ay in life. Ray appears industrious. We are told that he helps at home in his spare moments. o matter what he thinks of himself the girls proclaim him a godsend to a sheikless world. Blame it on his eyes if you will. Baseball is his favorite sport. Albert Louis Breault Do 'well and ritjht, and let the v:orld sink. Albert is one of our greatest enthusiasts in the study of Biology. He specializes in the study of plants and animals. This takes up a great deal of his time. Although he is only a little fellow, he possesses a great deal of strength and stamina. Track (3), Football (2-3-4). John Leo Bresnahan To hi' strong is to he happy. To work on a baker's wagon after school would be fun in the minds of some fellows but to John it is serious business. Anyone who can do this as well as this lad is bound to succeed. It is only fitting that we should wish him the best of luck. Katherine Alice Bresnahan A foot more light, a step more true Ne'er from the heath of flo vrr dashed the deiu. Katherine joined our illustrious class in her Junior year and immediately won the admiration of all who have come in contact with her. She is very fond of dancing and may be often seen tripping the light fantastic. She is quite talka- tive in the corridors and causes the marshals not a little trouble. She plans to be a nurse. Kathleen Hunt Brown Sunshine and good humor all the txiorld over. Kay is among the best-known girls in school, socially as well as athletically. In her Sophomore and Junior years, she took part in all sports. She was_ a councillor last year, and a member of the Junior Class Party committee. Kay marshals (at times) when she is not working for Mr. Hub- bard. She hopes to get a position in Fitchburg next year. There's no place like home, Kay!

Oh to be the maid where Donald i the iceman I We have often wondered if he uses the holes in the ice to fish through, for we hear he is quite adept at this art. But the old ((uestion arises — can we talie any stock in these fish stories? Fish- ing isn't the only sport he participates in, how- ever, for he' swims and l lays haskethall and hockev. Messiah, C;iee C lul (2-3). Edward Kenjamin (Kaplan Come not ivilhin the measure of my urath. Brockelman Brothers is certainly a good place to train marshals. That is, if we may judge by Eddie whose stern voice frightens Sophomores ncarl to death. If you are looking for him be- fore school, the best plan is to stand in the cor- ridor and attack him as he rushes by, either to or from a Red and Gray board meeting. He is very active at the council meetings particularly near the end, for he is always ready to move that the meeting be closed. Cierald Henry Capone IFho says little has little to ans=ii-er. Jerry is content to sit still and watch the rest move on. He is very fond of swimming and skating. When the occasion arises, Jerry is a good sport and always ready to join in the fun with the rest. Football (2-3-4), Relay (3-4). Henry Napoleon Carbonneau one hut himself can he his parallel. Henry's Haming red hair stands out whenever he makes an appearance. He is a lover of all sports, although with him football seems to be the most prominent. He likes printing and plans to take it up after his high school davs are over.

If you see someone hustling around school with an armful of books — that's Peggy. She is the Co-Editor of the Red and Gray, and is very often to be found working on our magazine.

Anyone who has read Seventeen, and also attended the Prize Speaking contest, certainly found Helen gave a good impersonation of Jane. Helen is doubtless one of our merriest classmates, whether in French Club, Glee Club, or partici- pating in one of her favorite sports. Helen is fond of swimming, skating, and reading. She pla s tennis and basketball. We predict Helen w'lW some day win the attention of her pupils by her humor, as she plans to enter the Fitchburg Teachers' College.

We all know Ciordon through his continuous service in making pictorial advertisements, com- monly termed posters. He has created an en- viable leputation by his talents. Drawing, sketch- ing, and cartooning are his chief avocations. Per- haps sometime we will hear him vocalizing operas of the Ed Wynn variety as a result of his suc- cess in the (Ilee Club. Ciiee Club (2-3-4), Joke Committee of Class Book. Rebecca Westervelt C'hasteney Slii--L-, soft t(iu(iue, true iiinrk of modesty. After two years of boarding school, Beckey came to join our worthy class. Although quiet and reserved, she is well-liked by her many friends. Among her favorite sports is tennis which she plays like a veteran. She also holds letters that Westtown Boarding School awarded her for excellence in swimming. Harry Donald Chesbrough Tall oaks from little acorns i roi::. Donald likes nothing better than to butcher, in school, by butchering the English language in Miss Brown's class and in his home town he works in a market. His hobbies are hunting, fish- ing, and baseball. He plans to go to a business school next vear and carry all the honor prizes back to Shirlev xvith him.

All her spare time is spent listening to Concerts even if she may be swayinji along a shining floor. Perhaps we should not have said all her spare time for she also plays tennis, and enjoys driving a car. She has entertained at several places with vocal solos. May intends to go to the Boston Conservatory of Music next vear. Dramatic Club (3-4). Ruth Elma Clark ;j a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Ruth is one of the jolly girls of our class and is al va s ready for a good time. She was an active member of both the Dramatic and Glee Clubs. Her hobby is hiking and she has a fine chance to indulge in this sport as she lives wav up in West Fitchburg! After graduation she plans to enter the Moody Bilile Institute in Chicago. CJlee Club, Dramatic Club, Messiah. Elizabeth Fay Comstock Nice things come in small packages. Elizabeth always has a jolly smile. Miss Miner is fortunate in having such a capable little helper every other week. When she is heard clicking down the hall toward Room 41 all the hold, bad children immediately become quiet. Motoring is one of her hobbies, but she refuses to disclose her chauffeur's name. She is also very partial to tall voung gentlemen' from our Sophomore class. Lillian Louise Conrad .V merry heart doeth good like medicine. Lillian is a member of the class who comes from Waites Corner and made a daily dash for the car in order to arrive on time. She likes to skate and could fretjuently be seen at Snow Mill Pond. She enjoys dancing and attended most of our social activities. Marion Mable Conrad A ' uiet ivorker, a steadfast friend.

Edward Arthur Jerome Tu say ihr truth 1 uuas tired of bein i aticays ivise. When the hunting season is on, there is no one more interested in life than Edward. Skiing, skating, and swimming also take up a great deal of his time when weather permits. Perhaps his greatest joy is to study anything pertaining to electricity. He has made plans to increase his knowledge of this subject after leaving high school. Football (2). Eino Johnson Knowledge is poivrr. Eino has several hobbies, among which is dri - ing. We suggest that he become a chauffeur as he has made no plans for the future. He enjoys such sports as liasketball, hockey, and hunting, for what we do not know. 01i er Phillip Johnson He iL-ho ivorks hard is usually happy. Oliver is enthusiastic about track.

As one of Shirley's Dancing Daughters Sophie attends all of the social functions in her home town. Hut leading the life of a social butterfly does not interfere at all with her school work be- cause she likes school, always does her homework, and seldom o ersleeps mornings. She serves as Miss Dunn's aide-de-camp every other week. Her hoblnes are dancing and hiking. Wilho Everett Kajutti is ( ri'dt to hi' horn a yinius, hut hrttrr to hr ambitious . Ihe most noise we ever heard from Wilho came from his Ford. Although he worked dili- gentlv outside of school hours in the fall and win- ter, he found time for various sports.

Mike dispenses bananas to our local fruit dealers and to the gang at lunch period. When he is not working he is usuallv at the V , an institution which would surely fail if he was not an official member of the lioard of directors. He has a fine instinct for laughing at a teacher's joke no matter h() v man times he has heard it before. Mike is a vpecial pet of Mr. Adler and his gvm work is aho e reproach, oted for his line. Waino Kapnnen II' ell-tini Cil silence hath more eloquence than speech. Waino wa-- a cpiiet fellow Init did not escape tlie girls' notice.

Not satisfied with that he runs away with honors as the class cut-up. Never- theless, Kempy is one of our most brilliant scholars.

If you know Orabell you know that she is always laugh- ing when she ought to be serious. Volleyball is her favorite sport, which she plays often at C rocker Field. Oraliell intends to go in training :it the Burli.iiik Hospital. Anna Onerva Kokkinen Noise is not necessary for success. What a break the teachers would get if ve all were as brilliant as Anna! Everybody liked An- na because she was always willing to be of as- sistance. She never talked out of turn as so many of us are apt to do. Swimming and reading were hej- hobbies, and she was an ardent movie fan. .Xiina's aim was to be somebody's stenographer. .Xnna worked everv other week for Mr. Howard. VViljo Koski It' ill-ti lit rJ silriKi- liatli more elo' uente tlian speech. W'iljo believed in being seen and not heard. If anvone chanced to be strolling up around Notown on a Sunday afternoon one was bound to see W'iljo enjoying the wide open spaces with his cronies. Besides being a hiker of merit, he was a good swimmer. Jeannette Mary Kurtyka Carefree and happy. Jennie may always seem jolly but she has her serious moments. During these moments she plans her future as a world famous lawyer. Every other week she makes Miss Smith and Mr. Dufour happy by working for them. Dancing is one of her hobbies. As a pianist she is charming; as a t pist she is disarming; as a typist of French she is alarming! Glee Club (3). John Donald Laber Every difficulty yields to the enterprising. Music fascinates Johnny, if one may judge by his work in the band and orchestra. He is how- ever a staunch worker for his church, acting as the head of a Royal Ambassador organization there. Perhaps this is the reason why he wears his hair in a crown . He showed us his power as a relay racer in his Junior year. His report card reveals to us his other abilities.

We hear very seldom from this quiet lad. He is a diligent worker both in and out of school. He likes to hunt and fish and for this reason we have seen him on many occasions starting out to enjoy himself in those ways. Wilfred Oscar Langelier Whilst I yet live, let me not li-ve in 'vain. Wilfred is endowed with that which is the essence of life — . mbition! After school, in golf- ing season he mav !ie found as a caddy at the Oak Hill Country Club. He is a firm believer that labor is in no way disgraceful and that only through exertion may we overcome obstacles and attain success. He is much interested in aviation as a hobby. Leonard Joseph Lanziiotti Tlie foremost man of all this ivorld. Leonard resides in Room 26. He was always arguing with Miss Gifford, about what we do not know. He didn't break any records in sports but his determination stood by him throughout the season. He is a good sport and when some joke is directed at him, he takes it on the chin, grins, and bears it. Basketball (2), Baseball (3), Track (4). Irene Rita LaRoche Small matters icin threat commendation. Irene is the type of person who does well in sports of all kinds.

Basketball (2-3). Raymond Alfred LaRoche First in the council-hall to steer the state, And foremost in a tongue debate. Jack is both a distinguished actor and athlete. We see him frequently at our Dramatic Club meetings, either in a play or giving readings. He leads cheers well, and is an expert at tennis.

Everett is perhaps one of our most studious per- sons (so he savs) and has enjoyed many hours with Miss Haskins during his high school career. Hiking is one of his favorite sports along with swimming and tennis. He enjoys playing bridge, dancing, and writing stories too. We've heard he has a girl friend in Africa who likes to read his stories. Writing letters to friends across the ocean holds a great fascination for him. 31 l==IF [=Z=l. 1933 1 =11 ir THIRTY-SEVEN =1 THE BOULDER c Alvah ltd ward I.assili Min uj genius Jo nut rxicl in tiny profrssion hrcausf tliry lalxiur in it. hut tliry labour in it hfcausf tlify fxrcl. . l ;ih is frequently seen skating in the winter liint- at the Hospital pond where he is almost always in the midst of a fast hockey game.

Jo always had a nice smile in store for every- body. She was a faithful rooter at every foot- ball game and she patronized the Fitchburg Theater ever Tuesday and Thursday, (dime davs). Jo's ambition was to be a hairdresser so let's not be surprised if we see our men folk with permanent waves in the near future. Basketball (2-3). Marie Louise Loiselle am resolved to be happy. Many of Marie's friends were won by her cheery smile. Although she lives in West Fitch- burg, she managed to reach school on time. She was a loyal supporter at the football games. She attended most of the school activities but found time to study and was rewarded by having her name on the honor roll. Dramatic Club (4). Robert Harvey Loudon Business before pleasure. The tennis court claims Bob as one of its devo- tees when his time allows it. If a class col- lector were to be elected the honors would, from the extent and diversity of his collection, go to this ardent enthusiast of the art of stamp collect- ing. Hi is the power of converting the most skeptical to his opinions. Robert Edwin Lovejoy The secret of success is constancy of purpose. Bob is one of those rare persons who delight in speaking before groups of young people. He may vet be a great orator, and speak before our high school pupils in years to come. An alternative however would be that fascinating art of wood- working. 1933 THiRTY-NIN£ BOULDER I r=ir Sylvia Mary Luoma .1 merry tivinkle in her eye, A sunny smile as she passes by.

Edith Louise MacMullen Just being happy is a fine thing to do, htd just being happy is bra-ve luork and true. Louise has been very quiet during her four vears at high school. She spends most every after- noon studying and her report shows us that these efforts are not in vain. She is fond of sports and takes part in basketball and volleyball.

He has not participated in any sports at school, but we know that skating, skiing and basketball are very familiar to him. He put sleeping as his favorite hobby on the Senior Questionnaire. His object in life is not yet known but those who know him have no doubt of his future success. Toivo . rmas Malm Still waters run deep. True enough Toi was a quiet boy, but when- ever anvthing interesting was going on, one could alwavs find him there.

During his Sophomore vear, Gino was a star football player, but at his parents' request, this particular sport was given up. Gino is busy all day long, work- ing in his father's store in the afternoon and do- ing what little homework he can in the evening. Football (2).

Hockey (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4), Tennis (2-3-4), Band (3-4), Orchestra (3-4). 1933 FIFTY-SEVEN nr i =1 THE BOULDER i n r Uorotlu Edith Elizabeth Teto T irif's a lamjuatjr in Iter i-ycs, her i irik, Jirr lip, Nay, her foot speaks. Dorothy was often to be found where an orches- tra poured forth its tempting dance tunes, for sne claims dancing as one of her holiliies. Dot in- tends to study hairdressing at a school iti Boston next year. Doris Irenne Therrien A luilling mind makes a light foot. Doris always did her best in studies, striving to meet the approval of her teachers. Her snap- ping brown eyes were frequently focused upon the pages of a book, be it a school book or lilirary liook. As a diversion, Doris played basketliall and went skating when the opportunitv presented itself. Dramatic Club (4). Leo Paul Thibeault There is no trusting to appearances. Leo is a solemn-looking chap, but some imp must lie living inside him, for it is continually peek- ing through Leo's eyes, His hobby is golf and he has spent many of his leisure hours working as a caddy at the golf links. He hasn't any defi- nite plans for the future. C;iee Club (2), Messiah (2). Dorothy Lucia Thomas And si ill they (jazed and still their iconder gren-, That one small head could carry all she knen-. Dot apparently possesses an infinite capacity for work. How she ever carried so many extra- curricular activities so successfully is a source of amazement to us all. School work, which is enough for most students, seems to be the least of her worries, for her name always appeared on the honor roll. Basketball (3), Hockey (3), Junior-Senior Re- ception Conmiittee (3), Chairman of Write-up Committee for Class Book, Thanksgiving Dance Committee (4), Marshal. Donald William Thompson Good humor is the health of the soul. Donald was always amusing his classmates with some joke. His hobby is himting, and during his spare time he may be seen looking for game in the woods of Waites Corner! After gradua- tion he plans to attend a state Forest Ranger's school. Band (2-3-4). Voitto Armas Tikkala Silence is better than unmeaning luords. One often sees Voit accompanying his father on a painting job during out of school hours. At first glance one would suspect him of possessing a |uiet disposition but if one should enter Room 7 during the second period, he would see Voit be- ing incessantly reprimanded for his carryings-on with his pal . lvah. 11 ip= ii ir=— . 1933 11= 1 ll SE FIFTY-EIGHT ] THE BOULDER i f r Arthur Kullervo Tofferi It's a (irral plague to he handsome. Arthur, one of our good-looking boys, was inore interested in sports than in studies. He cer- tainly plaved snaptn- footliall last year, and also shone in basketball and tennis. Now and then we'd see Arthur going places with a member of the fairer sex. He plans to enter Wentworth In- stitute. Football (2-3). Gladys Marion Tupper Charms strike the sight, hut merit iL-ins the soul. Gladvs is one of our manv commuters from Shirlev. Her quiet and industrious nature, humor, and a lighthearted laugh made her a most welcome addition to our class. She always had her les- sons and her name always appeared on the High Honor Roll. She is a very capable girl and dur- ing her part-time course worked for Miss Miner. Dramatic Club ( + ), Write-up Committee for Class Book. Class Prophecy Committee. Gertrude Marie Valliere Her golden locks for haste ivere loosely shed ahout her ears. Gertrude is one of the few girls who have not bobbed their hair. Who can blame her — with those lovelv curls. She enjoys playing the piano and dancing, the latter with one person in par- ticular if we may judge by the rumors. The office of Mr. Sheehan at the city hall has become her place of labor, as she works there afternoons. She intends to work on in this way for one more vear at least. Hirry (iiinard 'iitanen A good heart is hetter than all the heads in the nvorld. Harrv possesses a happy disposition and is al- ways readv with a smile, both in school and out. He is an ardent lover of outdoor sports chiefly skating, hunting, and fishing. Frances Eleanor Walsh To a valiant heart nothing is impossible. When vou see 'Frances' red hair it is always a signal to get out of the way for she is usually in a hurrv, especially when she is rather late in starting to school. Tmpy likes sports and has nlaved on the girls' teams since she was in B. F. Brown. She also likes to watch the boys' games. She went to all the football games and was an eager spectator at the ''V basketball games. Impy would like to go in training to be a nurse. Hockey (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Glee Club (3), Dramatic Club (3). Margaret Mary Walsh .■} good heart is hetter than all the heads in the ivorld. Margaret is another member of the numerous Walsh family. She has their usual trade mark, which is red hair. Margaret did not like school very well, but managed to get some fun out of it. She liked to go to the movies better than to school. Margaret was a member of the Glee Club and sang in all the operettas. She plans to go to the North Shore Hospital at Salem, Mass. Glee Club (2-J-4). Ida Wannop rirtue never gronjs old. As you enter Room 26, you will immediately notice a red, wavy head turning back and forth. This is Ida talking to a male member of the class. ()u will also hear her friendly greeting as you enter the Penny Bryn Shoppe. After work, Ida is often seen dancing at the V. M. C. A. At Crocker Field hockey occupied her time. Anne Charlotte Ward . heart to resolve, a head to plan, and a hand to execute. Anne has a perpetual good humor, which has made her a general favorite. Besides being a fine public speaker, as she has shown by her appear- ance in several public speaking contests, she has a reputation for loquacity among her friends. Her speech isn't always serious, however. Her ability has been greatly shown by her writings in the Red and CJray and by her participations in the Dcliating Club. Debating Club (2-3-4), Public Speaking (2-3), Dramatic Club (3-4), French Club (3-4), Red and Gray Board (3-4), Chairman of Class Motto Committee, Open Meeting (4), Class Play. Elisabeth Ella Warner There is no knon.ledge 'which is not valuable. Betty has a fair complexion, pretty blonde hair, and a sunny disposition to go with them. She is constantly smiling, seems to be happy in whatever ■-he does, and has a reputation for being modest. Betty likes scouting, outdoor sports, and playing volleyball. She was one of those girls who re- peated manv times in a dav, No talking, please. Volleyball (3), Marshal! Ethel Louise Webster Smiline she's seen from morn till night. Ethel smiles continuously. VVe believe she has two reasons for doing this: first, she is always happy, and second, she sports an irresistible pair of dimples. Ethel takes care of children in her spare time. Her hobbies are reading detective stories, criticizing clothes, and swimtning. Spencer .-Xlbert Webster love rantjuil solitude And such society .Is is quiet, luise, and good. Spencer is one of those fellows who always seem about to do the unexpected l)ut never do. Out- side of school hours he works on a farm. His hobbies are drawing and boat-building. Spencer has an unorthodox method of shooting baskets, but he gets them just the. same. We hope that everything else will come as easy to him. Harlan Amos Weeks Better a ivit than a sage. What-a-man! His jolly voice is often heard in the corridors and the marshals know him well. This husky Adonis was one of the linesmen on our fine football team and many an enemy was stopped at the line of scrimmage. Harlan also played basketball and has quite an eye for throw- ing. Football (3-4), Relay Team (3), Basketball (4). THE BOULDER Robsrt Aubrey Weeks The silnicr thai is in llic starry sky. Robert belongs among the quiet mannered peo- ple. He very seldom speaks but when he does, vou hear a soft, mellow voice! As his voice would indicate, he is quite active in the Boys' Glee Club and vou see him standing strong and tall among the rest of the vocalizers when the club gives a concert. Glee Club (2-3-4), Oh Doctor! (2), Mi- kado (3), Relay Team (3). Alice May Wells A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Alice had her serious moments when she w'as studying, but she was a happy-go-lucky individual and a jolly fellow classmate most of the time. She likes playing basketball, swimming, and at- tending the movies. If you ever were with Alice, you surely would have heard her ask, What time is it? Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3), Hockey (2). Ginofefa Victoria Wesolowska Nothing is im possible to a luillinei heart. Ginofefa is one of the comparatively few Latin sharks and is still fond of Virgil. It matters not how hard the lesson — she'll tackle it. College is her aim so keep up your courage, Gin. She likes to swim and skate and practices hiking, not only for fun, but in case she may have to hike to school if the Shirley bus breaks down some cold, snowy morning. Harvey Stephen Westover Labor is m no ivay disgraceful. We hear that Harvey is quite a valuable mem- ber of Shirley society. He helps his father as mail messenger and sometimes acts in the capacity of janitor and in this is partly responsible for the fine appearance of the Shirley depot. Who knows but what some day he will be a famous lion trainer, for training animals is one of his holi- bies. Maurice Blair Whitcomb I'm armed ivith more than complete steel The justice of my quarrel. The members of the Boys' Debating Club real- ize the true metal of Blair as a debater. He has taken nart in many debates and has often found himself on the winning side. Stamp collecting is his favorite hobby and tennis his favorite sport. In his Junior year he won a prize in Mathematics which was a well-deserved distinction. Football (2), Track (3), French Club (3-4), Dramatic Club (4), Write-up Committee for Class Book. Barbara Latham Whitmore Softly speak and S'weetly smile. Doesn't a good violinist always fascinate one? . nd how about an artist? Barbara is both. She has played in the Orchestra for the past two years. Because of her artistic taste she was appointed chairman of the Class Color Committee in '32. She has been very helpful as a member of the Red and Gray'' Board and has supported the Dramatic Club very faithfully. To go to the Fitchburg Teachers' College is her aim for next year.

Millie is one of the hatipy-go-lucky girls in school. In her opinion, dancing is really a great deal better than studying, 'e see her at most of the football games, and at our dances. Perhaps soitie day the girls in our class will patronize Millie, for she wants to be a hairdresser. Volleyball (3). Roland Frankli n Whitney am fiurl of all that I have met. Roland is a newcomer to the High School, but his congenial temperament has gained him a large number of friends, as well as contributed to the Red and CJray. He spends much time in hunt- ing and fishing and playing a mandolin. He is expecting to spend further time in studying radio after graduating. Ahti Oscar Wiita Sober, steadfast and demure. .Vlthough Ahti was seldom seen making his way through the corridor with a supercilious smile on his face, we all liked him. Being very fond of music, he not only was a valuable member of the drum section of the hand but played in an outside dance orchestra as well. Band (2-3-4). .Arthur Warren Wilkinson hope to fly and loiic i tlie sky. Warren is one of our air-minded classmates who plan to go to an Aviation School. He travels about town a good bit. The majority of his wan- derings leads him from his home on the South Side, to the Normal School section, and back again. Wilky, as the boys know him, gives one the im- pression of a happy-go-lucky fellow, but War- ren is really a serious minded young man. Maxine Rachel Williams I et ivomen spin, not preach. . nywhere that you see Virginia Gray and Milly Whitney, you will find Max. She has a quaint knack of whispering during class, to her friends, which brings the wrath of her teachers upon her. . fter school you will sometimes find Maxine, as nursemaid, parading up and down Main Street, pushing a baby carriage, and cooing to a child to keep it from crving. Glee Club (4), Basketball (4), Volleyball (4). Ruby Marion Wilson (•;• smiliri eyes •with simple truth ivere stored. Ruby came to us from the Everett High School in the state of Washington, where she was secre- tary of her class, in 1932. Her debut as a singer vas made at the December meeting of the Dra- matic Club where she rendered two numbers. She also plays the piano. Speaking of cooks — gentleinen, do you like to eat? Ruby is planning to attend a cooking school next year to study die- tetics. Dramatic Club (4). Dauno Wisti Wisely and sloic; tliry stumble uuho run fast. Dauno is as wistful as his last name sounds. He's a ood sport at all times. Although he doesn't participate very much in sports, he enjoys watching others do so when he has time. His folks find him of great help at home as he's a handy man at all trades. Blanche Isabelle Woodland A iielp'inii hand site is ready to lend To anyone, especially a friend. Blanche always has a smile and kind word for us all. Her marks show that she is a good stu- dent, Init she can also enjoy a good time. When not stud ing, she may be found playing tennis, hiking, or swimming. Dramatic Club (2 Vollevball (2), Glee Club ( + ). Dorothy Ann Wyatt .■ ! uod disposition that gold cannot buy. Dorothy likes the water whether in liquid Of solid form and spends much of her leisure time in swimming or skating. You have probably seen Dorothy accompaned by another member of our class, the opposite sex by the way. Dorothy was an all-round girl and did not specialize in any one thing. She hopes to find work, but if not, she would like to go to a Business School. Volleyball (2). William Yates For life is ended ivhen honor ends. William is a happy-go-lucky youth. Even if he isn't inclined to study diligently, we know him as a cheerful friend. He is never known to express his troubles, if any, to his friends. Although not a lo iuacious chap, his laughter is undeniable proof of his presence. Orchestra (3). Robert Herman Zeidler A proper man as one shall see in a summer's day. Robert is a rather independent character and associates with his own particular circle of friends. We have all noticed his athletic form and have seen him display his skill in various basketball games outside of school. During the summer he enjoys swimming, at which he is also very good. He has been active in the Glee Club and plans to attend college after graduating. Glee Club (2). Ethel Lee Zimmerman That smirk of mirth and gladness, And that flash of mischief too. There is a mischievous and fun-loving spirit hidden under that apparently demure exterior of Ethel. She was on the entertainment committee for the Thanksgiving Dance in '31. Ethel's chief ambition is to be a radio singer and she plans to enter Barnard College after graduating.

F. Hrown auditorium, April 21, 1933. SYNOPSIS The play deals with the forced resignation of Dr. Thomas Rossmore after twenty-five years of teaching, due to his refusal to sanction the use of $50,000 of his ward's mone to save the manufacturing business of the most influential member of the board of trustees. His tri- umph in spite of great odds, and his financial success as a result of his experimenting ith a l'a plant constitute the pleasing end of the comedy. CWST OF Cll. R. C rERS Thomas Rossmore, A.

We can't let them beat us. 21 . Did you notice in the Worcester Telegram that Lester Rome had a Birthday Party on his sixth birthday? Oh well his picture was only mixed up with that of a little girl named Lorraine. 22. What a happy day. No homework! O to have been in the Spanish class today.

No need to go to Florida. 25. Most of the basket-ball team seems to have caught the grip. It looks bad with Leominster to play Friday. 26. Evervbodv's studving desperatelv ! You ask whv? Report cards, Gold F's and the like. 27. The Mid-Winter Dramatic cup was awarded to the Sophomores. 28. Hurrah! Another victory. F. H. S., 56; Leominster, 40. 30. Another tornado just passed.

Miss Gibbons must appreciate how original the girls are in using the Indian clubs. Each girl has her own ideas — and how! 1 1 . Big excitement. Fire started by short circuit in Chem. store closet. The only griev- ance Mr. Sullivan had was that he hadn't made out the Chem. exams and was afraid he might disappoint us. 13. Imagine waking up with 20 inches of snow on the ground in the middle of Ap:il. It was too much for most of us. There were only 250 who dared plough the snow- drifts 14. Ciood Friday — no school. 17.

[2] THE COMING DAZE Tlie Coming Daize By RAYMOND LaROCHE, 1933. i One day last Februember, the brick steamer came sailing into Townsend Harbor with a cargo of Brazilian, Ashburnham, and Pea Nuts, including Raymond Belli- veau, John Pera, Frederick Sullivan, Gino Pallozzi, Ahti vViita, Charles Beldo, and me as members of the crew I under Captain Myron Lavine. Suddenly a big wave hit ; the side of our trusty craft, nearly knocking John Eager i and Gordon Chase (our cooks) into the sea. I gazed off ' into the east and saw David Kendall emerge from the water. He had completed the seven mile swim across the harbor. | When we had docked at Michael Kandianis fish pier, we walked across the road. John Pera was nearly killed on crossing when Arnold Bakstran stepped on the ' gas instead of the brake. John was going to sue Arnold ; but when Arnold proposed to Dotty F lynn, John's law- yer, Saul Rothstein, threw the case over (the Bar) . I We then proceeded down the road a few blocks, until we came to Gerry McDowell's Speak Louder. We hadn't eaten for some daze. Gerry had his head wait- j er, Walter Arslanian, serve us, with Charlotte Beer I (90%) assisting him. In one corner four peering eyes | caught mine. The eyes belonged to a couple of husky j patrolmen, Joseph Kibling and George Bouvier. They were sent to Gerry's place to enforce the law. In an- other corner the sons of Italy were having an indoor pic- nic; among them were Nicholas DiConza, Nunzio Mini- chiello. Claudio Giamarino, and Leonard Lanzilotti. ! We left Townsend in David Girouard's bus, which was bound for Shirley. En route we saw a couple of young ladies repairing a flat tire. No sooner had the bus passed than Raymond Bennett and Robert Leduc yelled simultaneously to Albert Breault, the bus driver, j Stop! those are our wives. The damsels in distress ' turned out to be none other than the Mineault twins, j Annette and Janette. j After this stop, we went on to Shirley. A loud [ 3 ] 1 I I I 'i. i. z CLASS PROPHECY- 1933 y -iy y -i bang was heard; then the bus began to sway. We have a flat tire, the driver said in a vociferous tone. Whatayamean, w e? You've got the flat, replied Edward Caolan, the well-known traveling salesman. You'll have to get out of the bus so that we can jack it up, said Bertram Fidler, the Fuller brush man. We got out to breathe the fresh Ayer in the vicinity of Donald Buckwold's dude ranch. Working on Don's place were Jennie Francek, his financial secretary; Rose Baglio, chief cook and bedmaker: and Anthony Fianda- ca, teacher of horseback riding. The tire was changed in a jiffy. Five minutes later we entered the fair city of Shirley. Harry Chesbrough could be seen washing windows on one of Shirley's skyscrapers. (The sky was downcast. ) The clang of the patrol wagon was heard as it drew near the public square. It was driven by Harvey Westover, with Peter Saulis, the Shirley Police Force, hanging on the rear. The patrol wagon stopped in front of Beatrice Gately's and Martha Boutilier's, where broken bottles filled the street. It was found that Alfred Hancewicz, the Shirley suspender king, had accidentally run into Nellie Saulis's milk truck. There was some sort of celebration taking place in the west end of the town, for Elizabeth Comstock and Marjorie Eddlem could be seen upon an elevated plat- form, in front of which was the Shirley Town Band un- der the leadership of Gladys Tupper. A couple of farm- erettes, Jeannette Kurtyka and Sophie Swiatek, were selling popcorn. Elizabeth Comstock was crowned Miss Shirley and Marjorie Eddlem was runner-up. The band stopped playing while Miss Ginofefa Wesolowska, mis- tress of ceremonies, announced that the great opera singer, Miss Sophie Jurga, would favor us with Tenho Nurmi's composition, Sprig Dazs, accompanied on the piano by Amelia Pasakarnis. Our party walked down the road toward the bus. Belli veau noticed that one tire was flat. He said, Aw, why ride in this? We'll take the Westminster ferry! It's right down on the Nash way, ready to go. We started toward the river. We spent much time watching the people leave the boat. A personal friend of ours. Miss Catherine Bemis. [ 4 ] •6 The coming daze y - y y -iy on arriving said that she was just back from a wild goose hunt with Doctor Paul Munro. We boarded the ferry and were soon well on our way to Westminster. On the banks of the Nashway, in the center of Westminster, we saw a large saw mill with the sign above it Eino Hill. Underneath the name of the owner was written a motto in smaller let- ters: I wood saw wood if you wood bring wood. Before us, in the center of the wide river, stood the stat- ue of Viljo Friberg on a marble pedestal. In his right hand, high above his head, he held a corkscrew. In- scribed on the tablet in small letters were the following lines: Here stands a man who fought and died in the Battle of Pro Hibition. After we disembarked, we walked down to the Inn, where we had supper. We were very much pleased to see Sulo Karvonen as the proprietor. He said that we could make ourselves at home, for anything that was his was also ours. So the next day we sold the tavern to Aili Hill. The most interesting spectacle of our West- minster trip took place this very morning. We heard a rather loud voice resounding through the streets of West- minster. Behold, we saw George Maki, the vociferous awshunear, on a table broadcasting (a la Walter Winch- ell) to a small audience of antique furniture seekers. Among the bystanders was Viola Stevenson, the famous aviatrix who flew across Wyman's pond all alone. She knew Pallozzi very well; why, she knew Gino so well that she planned to propose to him some leap year. She offered us a ride in her plane as far as Waites Corner. While flying over Ashburnham, we saw Dorothy Morrisseau driving the cows in from the pasture. We were taken ashore in Marion Conrad's boat. On the shore we met John Dobson, who gave us an invita- tion to attend a varied program at station D-E-A-D. We immediately hurried to the station, arriving just as the program was starting. The correct time was given as 3.62 p. m.. West Fitchburg time, through the courtesy of the Charles Maggs and Wilho Mukku jewelry store. The four Doeswell Sisters (Mary Grainger, Mary Hamil- ton, Gladys Hancock, and Alice Harrison) made their ap- pearance in black and blue capes and Paris green skirts. [ 5 ] - t CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 v'- v -s 's Their harmonizing of Way Down Upon the Nash way River thrilled our party. When their time was up, they got a big hand from all those present. Well, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, we have with us today George Barnicle's Crookedville Mountain Ears, said Frederick Heap, the second Graham Cracker, as he turned the microphone over to the leader. The members of the band, said George. are Thayer Baum, fiddler; Leo Keto, second fiddler: William Berkio, accordionist; Ellis Blomquist, Louis Silverman, John Glennon, and Donald Thompson, harmonicists. Some of the numbers enjoyed were Underneath the Cleghorn Moon, Waiting for the Car, and I Missed the Bus. Again the radio announcer grasped the microphone and gave us the correct time 5:12:12. At 6:06:06 p. m.. The Bedtime Story hour was an- nounced by the Bedtime Story artist, Dauno Wisti. They say that he keeps the neighbors' children up nights waiting to hear him yawn. Next on the program appeared Miss Lillian Conrad, the Waites Corner Nightingale, who sang a series of popular songs. Following Miss Conrad was Miss Helen Penny feather Courtney, who spoke on Nothing. Then Two Little Girls in Blue, Marie Loiselle and Kazi- miera Januskirvicz, wearing green dresses that looked somewhat like Ireland itself, did a few dance steps. (Surely we have television.) The time was just 12: p. m., when Leon Lavoie's Lucky Struck orchestra tuned and faced their instruments toward the Microphone. And this, ladies and gentlemen, concludes our pro- gram for this evening. You'll hear us tomorrow. I hope. Sleep tight. This last sentence was addressed to the Scotch listeners. Thence we went to Ida Rajaniemi's boarding house on the banks of Flagg's pond, where we spent the rest of the morning in repose. We should have slept all the afternoon if it hadn't been for George Sheppard, the fish peddler, who yelled underneath our window, Fish for sale, in a loud bass voice that shook the pictures on our bedroom walls. Afterwards, we ate our dinner and then were ready to go forth. We visited Alonzo Scott's bicycle shop. [ 6 ] THE COMING DAZE Here each one of us was presented with a new Scotto- cycle on which we continued our trip. No sooner had we gone a half mile than Ahti Wiita noticed in Frank Paine's dry goods store a big sign: The 11th Olympiad at Crooked Field starts Saturday, July 20, 1940. Some of the countries entered are Ash- burnhamia, Westminsteram, Shirleydam, Beltemonia, Pushovera; the colleges include Parkhill, Orswell, Si- monds, Beoli, Nockege, and Putnam's. All these col- leges represent our own United States. Admission $100.25 for men and $100.30 for women. The extra 5 cents will be refunded if the women do not ask foolish questions. Where are we going? Ask me, said Charles Beldo. To the Olympic, we yelled simultaneously. On our way we saw Joseph Tamulonis pushing a baby carriage up Ashburnham street with his wife, nee Frances Angevine. carrying the groceries. We stopped at Clifford Parcher's drug store, where we had something to drink. Behind the soda fountain, juggling the sodas, was Ruby Wilson, his wife. She gave us an extra helping because we looked starved. From there we went into Rose Fossa's flower shop to buy carnations for our button holes. Our trip continued till we reached Crooked Field. We purchased our tickets from Georgiana Bicoules at the main gate, then gave them back to Emily Arseneault and Irene Bordenave, the ticket collectors, at the main entrance. We were ushered to our seats in section X- Y-Z by four usherettes: Margaret Casey, Pauline Dan- iels, Charlotte Fletcher, and Mildred Whitney. The parade of Athletes started as we reached our assigned seats. Our Country Union Suit led the parade with Robert Bingham, drum major, at the head of the Elastic Band. Following the United States were the other countries in this order: Westminsteram, Belte- monia, Shirleydam, Pushovera, and Ashburnhamia. The Beltemonian shotputters appeared in blue jer- seys and green shorts. Those were their national col- ors. Dwight Ballou, hairy-chested giant and record holder in this event, said that he'd put the shot left handed to have some competition. John Bresnahan, another Beltemonian shot putter, was with Dwight. [ 7 ] CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 -iy r -iy -iy In case Dwight should throw the 16 lb. shot with his right hand, John would take the groundskeeper's car and go searching for the ball. Emil Bourque, the Ash- burnhamian star, was the first called to heave the shot. He stepped into the circle with the shot in his hand, then started a sort of Hindu dance. Finally he let go of the iron ball. It landed just 21 feet away. The next ones to throw it were Milton Boyle of Shirleydam and Raymond Gosselin of Pushovera. The former heaved the shot 20 ft. 11 4-3 inches; and the latter, 20 ft. 11 3-5. The excitement was great when Dwight Ballou made ready to heave the shot. All the people began to leave the sections of the stadium that faced the shot put pit which was 200 yards away. Two people, Elisa- beth Warner and Wallace Mansfield, fell down three flights of stairs during the excitement. The crowd yelled as Dwight was about to heave. Somehow or other the ball slipped from his hand, falling behind him instead of in front. The officials, John Morrell and Eino Moilanen, put the distance on the score sheet as minus 3 yards. This event ended with the standing of the various teams as follows: Ashburnhamia 10 points, Shirleydam 8 points, Pushovera 5, Beltemonia 0. Our country had no shot putters because when ping pong made its appearance, they played chess. The next event was the girls' 100 yd. dash. Eleanor Smith represented Westminsteram; Louise MacMullen, Shirleydam; Maire Kauppinen, Beltemonia; Mary Mem- rino, U. S. ; Muriel Matthews. Pushovera. When the gun was fired to start the race, all the girls fainted. Mary Membrino was the first to gain consciousness; she walked the distance to win in 29 minutes. The only other to finish was Eleanor Smith. Her time was 1 hr. 2 minutes 5 seconds. The 100 yd. dash was followed by the fancy skating on Robarge Pond. The pairings were Reino Fillback and Ethel Critchley, of U. S. ; John Duguid and Sylvia Luoma, of Beltemonia; Oscar Gauffin and Lucretia Pearson, Pushovera. The other countries did not parti- cipate. It looked like a cinch for the Duguid-Luoma combination. While John and Sylvia were making a figure 8 preceding the Flying Dutchman, one of his skates came off. Therefore, he was forced to use his [ 8 ] v S COMING DAZE .s -s - ., head in order to be in competition. Anyway, he and his partner took second honors. The GaufRn-Pearson com- bination kept going around in circles so long that they cut a hole in the ice and fell into the frigid waters. Aaro Brandt came running down from the bleachers, and dove into the water to save the couple. He was sorry that he did because the water was only 3 feet deep. Now he's got a bump ( on himself). Fillback and Critchley won the event. The mile run for men came next. Joseph David, the Nockege star from the old U. S., was t he favorite. Five men toed the mark as the official starter, Lionel Barrymore Duval, raised his blunderbuss. The men and the positions were Arthur Nurmi, who hailed from Shirleydam, at the post: Eino Johnson of Beltemonia, lane number two; Dominic Mazzilli of Pushovera, lane 3; Robert Lovejoy of Ashburnhamia, lane 4; and Joseph David of U. S., lane 5. The race was started. The boys seemed to take it easily the first two laps, but in the third lap Dominic Mazzilli was leading. No, Mazzilli wasn't leading; he just seemed to be, because he was a lap behind. When the racers started the fourth, our hero Joseph David came from the rear to the first place. Eino Johnson got so peeved at Joseph's passing him, that he took a short cut across the field and beat his opponents to the tape. When the officials told him that he didn't win, he said he couldn't speak English. The first wrestling match in the 160 lb. class was the last thing we saw that day. The first man to enter the ring was Livio DeBonis, the pride of Pushovera, who was wrapped in a purple and blue bathrobe with green gold stripes. What a hand he got from the audience! The other individual concerned in the match was Herbert Nathan of Shirleydam. He was wrapped in a turkish towel. Referee Raymond Bray got the match started, exactly half an hour after the contestants entered the ring. The bout was but a minute old when Livio clamped his favorite pretzel hold on Nathan and hurled him from the ring right into Alice Eells's lap. This ends that. Our party, full of pep, started for Laber House, the biggest hotel in the city. As John Laber, the proprietor, was a chum of my grandfather, we virtually knew John. [ 9 ] CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 There being no vacant rooms, we slept in the cellar. There we had hot and cold running water from several leaky pipes. Toivo Malm, a roommate of ours, was al- ways complaining about the hard floor he was lying on . He said, as he rose from the floor, I'm going out to sleep in a bed. The next morning we found him in a flower bed on Upward Common. The following afternoon we decided to go to Lars Boring's Playhouse, where two feature pictures were shown. The popular In Front of the Back featured Alan Kempainen, the great lover of the modern cinema, and Dorothy Thomas, the young brunette who shot like a comet to fame in less than a year. The other picture, I think, was Before After or maybe After Before : take your pick. The main character was portrayed by John Gilbert Paskauskas; opposite him played Elsie Soini. the captivating blonde. After the show we went into George Parmenter's Bean Pot , where William Lyons was head cook. Here we met Joseph Pandiscio, the Fat Boy of the cir- cus. It's lucky we ordered our meals first because this is what he ordered : steak and potatoes, ham and eggs, chicken a la carte, beef stew, tomato salad, coffee, pie and ice cream. He said this was just an appetizer. Then we went to the publishing establishment of the Cleghorn Bugle, which was quite a paper. The editor in chief, William Belliveau, showed us the vari- ous departments. In the editorial department we met Alice Bean and Joseph Gosselin, two good typists. In the local office, Theresa Bourgault and Gertrude Valliere were severely punishing the carbon ribbon of their type- writers. The writing of the sporting events was handled by Napoleon Landry and Mary L'Ecuyer. Then we met Joseph Drago. the fiery reporter whom we offered to take up Horse Pital pond to see a hockey game between Beltemonia and Shirleydam, which was to start the events on the second day of the Olympic games. We arrived at Horse Pital pond just as the hockey players were waiting for the referee's whistle to start the game. The six players composing the Shirleydam team were Eugene Roy, Charles Shaw, William Yates, Roland Whitney, Robert Weeks, and Harry Viitanen. The team from Beltemonia, captained by Eino Malm. [ 10 ] v S Sv S THE COMING DAZE '? 's O '? was composed of Everett Manson, Kenneth Meehan, Leo Thibeault, Carl Stewart, and Robert Pearson. There was no score made by either team at the half, so between the halves James Simontacchi, the coach of the Beltemonia Team, let drive a fiery speech which en- livened the spirits of his team and created a desire for victory. Three fell asleep while he was speaking. The second half started with a bang. Eino Malm, the streak of greased lightning, took the puck down the ice; with a beautiful drive he embedded it in the net for what seemed to be a score. There was a great commotion on the ice after this shot. The official claimed no score because Malm shot into the net not the puck but Eugene Roy's false teeth. When this announce- ment was made, both teams started a row. They were going to fight it out with hockey sticks and skates. As Harry Viitanen couldn't get within striking distance, he ran in for his water pistol. Then he couldn't find any water. Anyway, the game ended in a tie. The Hospital made a profit. The next event, the girls' javelin throw, took us back to Crooked Field. Beltemonia was represented by Ida Wannop; Pushovera, by Sophie Prilgauiskes; Ash- burnhamia, by Frances Walsh; U. S., by Victoria Si- monds; Westminsteram, by Dorothy Wyatt. Frances Walsh, the first contestant to throw the javelin, sur- prised most people and even a few fish by heaving the long, round javelin into the Nashway river outside the stadium walls. Clotilda Rossi, the official measurer, had to use her mathematics to find the exact distance. After an hour of figuring she was 18 ft. in the hole. She de- cided to let Miss Walsh try again. This time the restrain- ing line was moved back 100 yds. Miss Walsh again heaved the javelin into the river. All the other contes- tants powdered their noses and called it a day because there were no more javelins. The trumpet was blown to assemble the fancy divers of the fair sex at the pool's edge. Hilma Pakkila of Pan- demonia in an ultramodern 3 oz. balsa bathing suit stood on the diving board, ready to leap. She leaped into the ether with the grace of one of our high school cheer lead- ers. While floating slowly down on the breeze, she lev- elled off too slowly and struck with a resounding splash [ 11 ] c - c- X c CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 v -5 - o that sent water flying down to Leominster. The people there rushed home for their umbrellas. The next diver, Eloise Sibley of Beltemonia, walked very slowly to the diving board, where she stood for half an hour waiting for Elbert Shaw to snap her picture. When her likeness was printed within the camera, she jumped on the board and away she went with all the grace of Henry P'ord's first production, head over heels and heels over head to win fifth placer. Florence Rheault and Mary Romano had to dive into the pool to save Miss Sibley because her dive completely knocked out her wind. Next came the big splash from Shirleydam, Vera Talix, who won first honors for grace. Who in the heck is this Grace? yelled Bernard O'Connor from the band stand. Why couldn't Grace do her own diving? asked Arvo Huhta- la, the reporter from the Raivaaja. From the pool we went to the field, where we watched the fencers warm up awhile. When they were warm enough, the referee commenced the competition. Then most of them weren't so bad. The first two fen- cers to tickle each other were Russell Davis of Westmins- ter, the circus sword swallower. and George Lystila the rugged Pandemonian. Every time George made a thrust with his sword, Davis would open his mouth and swallow the blade. Once when George thrust the sword, Davis forgot to open his mouth and was knocked unconscious. Dr. Richard Morgner, Jr., brought him back to normal by artificial inspiration. The next two fencers were Alexander Ferazza of Shirleydam and Walter Conroy of Beltemonia. Alex- ander won very easily, but Conroy put up a good battle. Then came the final between Alexander of Shirleydam and the big Heap from Pandemonia. Just as they were ready to start, Mrs. Maria Celona Ferrazza stopped the match because her husband had to do the wash on the following day, and she didn't want to have him perfora- ted with holes. She said, If there's any perforating to be done, I'll do it. Well, George won by default (of Al- exander's wife). The final event of this day was the women's 5 mile bicycle race. We were going to enter on our Scotto- cycles, but patrolman Fred Rambeau protested very [ 12 ] s.,- © THE COMING DAZE o o Px ox sternly. For Pandemonia Margaret Proctor rode; for Beltemonia, Dorothy Reid; for Fiddlestix, Blanche Wood- land; forAmaham, Ethel Webster; and Dorothy Teto, for U. S. The contestants were started by Doris Rahmberg. At the end of the first lap, Miss Margaret Proctor's front wheel broke, throwing her into the air and depos- iting her on Dorothy Reid's handle bars. Dorothy kept on pedaling to victory. Her time was 2 hrs. 10 minutes. We all went ( one by each altogether in a bunch as Ray Belliveau says) up to Klaus Ojanpera's boarding house on Elm Street, where we were served a substan- tial supper by Irja Sandstrom and Elvie Syrjala, After supper we retired. We slept very comfortably all night on air mattresses manufactured by Evald Soderberg. In the morning Odo Stenstrom, the mailman, brought us a letter from Arthur Tofferi,the big game hunter in Ashby. He invited us to hunt with him any time we were able. We made preparations at once to visit Arthur. We took our double barrel 12 gauges, 410's, and B. B. guns. Gino Pallozzi took a pea shooter along also to tease the bears. Harlan Weeks, the manager of the local airport, had Arthur Wilkinson take us to Ashby in his Whizoplane. Two minutes after leaving the airport, which was on top of Ethel Zimmerman's apartment house, we landed in Arthur Tofferi's back yard. We were accorded a rousing welcome by the popula- tion of Ashby as we made a perfect three point landing. The women of the Lem. E.G. branch of the House of Representatives under their leader. Miss Alice Rajala, presented us with medals made from the brass buttons of the old Ashby police uniforms. The Mayor of Ashby, Robert Zeidler, presented us with the key to the city. His Honor nearly ruined most of our party with his Sampsonian handshake. The town street sweeper, Fran- cis Hawthorn, didn't mind picking up the waste paper we threw around. Why, he was very glad to have a job in the era of technocracy. This was a big day for the residents of Ashby. Most of the sporting events took place in the afternoon. At one o'clock the Barnyard golf championship was un- der way. Voitto Tikkala, the champion from Ward pond, was opposed by Blair Whitcomb of Lowe playground. Blair got quite a lead on Voitto, but Voitto soon showed [ 13 ] £ Xc s c CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 t -s -s his superiority of stamina by pitching the horse shoes with ease the whole distance of the court. Blair was tir- ing fast. Having asked the referee for time out, he dash- ed over to Spencer Webster's general store, where he bought a box of grape-nuts. When he resumed play, his vitality was doubled and he had more pep. He made a great come-back, beating Voitto by 10 points. Modest Blair claims grape-nuts gave him the victory. The climax of sporting activities was the 6i mile road race from Robert Peterson's chick- en farm to Thelma Parker's Beauty Parlor and back. Peter Moilanen won the race. He ran backwards most of the way to see if any of the contestants were follow- ing. Why, he even stopped at Helmi Isomaki's road stand for something to eat, he claimed. We started on our hunting trip the following morn- ing. Tofferi cautioned us about making too much noise. Because, he said, the wild pootwaddles may pounce on us without much warning. Frederick Sullivan stuffed cotton in his ears so that he wouldn't hear him- self breathe. We walked all day without seeing any- thing larger than a red squirrel. At sunset we started back for Ashby Center. We returned to Tofferi's house at 6 p. m. After eating supper, we went to bed at 7:00 in order to have a good night's sleep, and to be wide awake the following day at the final Olympics. In the small hours of the night, when all were peace- fully sleeping, we were suddenly wakened by the clanging of the fire engine. We were dressed before the fire teams came by. We dashed into the road, hailing the passing buggyists for a ride. When we reached the scene of the fire, which was in the Rebecca Chasteney School for Girls, the flames were shooting from all the lower windows. The firemen were adjusting their hoses to the various hydrants along the campus. We ran across the lawn to the front door of the institution, where we saw Bertha Bever sliding down a rope made from the blankets of her bed. All the pupils were ex- cited beyond measure: some dashed from the school in clothes, regardless of ownership; some went screaming across the campus; and others were shouting at the top of their lungs from the open windows on the third floor. [ 14 ] • ✓e - -s THE COMING DAZE '3y 'i _ 'iy The fire chief, William Forman, had Walter Freeman and Waino Kapanen work the pumper, while he rescued all the pretty girls. Edward Frey saw a tall, stately girl stagger to an open window on the top floor. He immediately seized a ladder and, running to rescue her, raised it to the window where he saw the figure; then he ascended , amidst the cheerings of the 26 persons on the scene, to the top floor. No sooner had he entered than he came out with Alice Wells on his shoulder. Very slowly he descended with her to safety. No sooner had he got- ten her out of the building then he collapsed. The build- ing was a smouldering mass of wreckage as we left. On our way to our lodging house, we met Paul Goetowski, the village gigolo, returning from the week- ly dance. After listening to the tall story artist, Wil- fred Langelier, for two hours, we went to bed. The time was exactly 6 a. m. We slept till noon. After lunch, our party started on our Scottocycles for Crooked Field, to witness the closing of the Olympic Games. We arrived three hours later. The first event took us to the Betty Henderson Gym on Wallace Avenue. The two best girls' basketball teams in the world took their positions on the floor. One was from Tasmania, and was coached by Gertrude Hoehn. The players were Hilkka Honkanen, Left over; Mary Hawes, Any place; Marie Morin, Weigh back; Virginia Morrilly, Right out; and Helen McKenna, Goal tender. Pandemonia, the other team, under the coaching of Constance Moeckel, lined up as follows: Irene Laroche, Left weight back; Margaret Murray, Turn over; Doris Murphy, Left out; Yvonne Nan telle, Left any place; and Cecille Moquin, Out side. The game started shortly after the girls adjusted their blouses and powdered their noses. Referee Louise Holm blew her nose, starting the teams in the most thrilling, most exciting game never witnessed by any- body. The war cry seemed to be ' 'guard her. ' ' At the half, the score stood 40 to 2 in favor of Pandemonia. Margaret Murray made the two points for Tasmania in order to continue the friendliness between the two teams. At the half, the girls discussed what sort of dress they were going to wear to the dance at the Shirley Town Hall the following evening. They also discussed [ 15 ] ✓cK - es- CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 -ij -iy -iy -ij whether they would vote for Arthur Simpson as Presi- dent, or for Porter Elliott, the working man's choice. When play was resumed, the Tasmanians scored 29 points to Pandemonia's 3. Irene Laroche of Pande- monia shot for a basket once in this period. The ball completely cleared the back board and landed in the balcony. Charles Bacon, a spectator, snatching the ball for a souvenir, ran for his home in the sticks. Pande- monia lost 6 points for this mishap. The score was 37 to 31 in favor of Pandemonia at the end of the third quarter. When the fourth period started, Tasmania scored three baskets in succession, thus making the score a tie. Pandemonia called time out. In their time out, they discussed whether they should let Tasmania win, or whether they should conquer this heralded team from Kalamazoo. Coach Hoehn sent in Martha Lehti- nen in place of Mary Hawes. There was but two min- utes to play. Martha was as cool as an Eskimo Pie just taken from dry ice. In rapid succession she sank four baskets, thereby assuring Tasmania of victory. The game ended with Tasmania winning by 8 points. From the Gym, we went to Crooked Field. No sooner had the crowd become seated than Thomas Chap- man sounded his bugle, calling the marathon runners to the pole. The starters in the 10 mile marathon were Eino Barholm of Beltemonia, Henry Carbonneau of Tas- mania, George Schaff of Shirleydam, Alfred Ruberti of Pandemonia, and Ronald Hyatt. Eino Barholm, while on the home stretch far in the lead, ran into Selmi Hy- tinen. the peanut vender, who was walking across the track. Both men went sprawling on the ground. In an instant Eino rose to his feet and ran the rest of the way to an easy victory. When the officials brought Eino up- on the victor's platform, he said, A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. ' ' This last phrase was written later in Miss Virginia Gray's Book of Proverbs. The swimming pool was moved to the center of the field, where the swimming races for women were soon underway. The 100-yard breast stroke was won by Syl- via Laine of Pandemonia in 1 min., 30 seconds. The 400 yd. swimming title went to Marian Sellers of Beltemo- nia, who shattered the world record of 10 min., 2 sec- C 16 ] THE COMING DAZE oy o .x ' y onds. While the swimming races were in progress, the girls' quarter mile relay race was won by the Pandemo- nian quartette, Marjorie Harkness, Constance Renault, Orabell Kinsman, and Maxine Williams, in the fast time of 2 minutes, 10 seconds. The final event of the day was the Greeco-Roman wrestling matches, Tyko Hallfors of Ashburnhamia and Arthur Leclerc of Westministeramia went to a draw. In the light heavy weight class Wilho Kajutti of Fiddlestix beat Earl Kaulback of Beltemonia with a crotch hold and a body slam. In the heavy weight di- vision, Wiljo Koski of the U. S. completely outclassed Allan Mortberg of Beltemonia for the greater part of the match. Then Allan got an arm hold on Wiljo, making him surrender two minutes before the time limit was up. When the match was over, the people started for home. On coming out of the main gate, Miss Barbara Whitmore invited us to attend the banquet at the Hotel Idlewild that evening. We hastened to our lodging house, and donning our swallow tail suits and silk top- pers, started for the banquet at an early hour. Doris Therrien, the door-tender, cordially greeted us. Then she had Ingrid Talviainen take our top coats and hats to the checking room. We proceeded to the dining hall and were ushered to our places by Bessie Svolis and Pearl Smith, Sitting around the table were many notables: Ralph Perault and his wife, the former Mary Ames; Betty Allan, the opera star, with her fiance, Lester Rome; and Sherman Hall, who will succeed Pad- erewski, according to Aune Mandell, the greatest living woman violinist, Anne Munson was the guest of honor. She looked gorgeons in her peach-colored silk gown, with shoes and stockings to match. Sitting beside Wiita was Mrs, Priscilla Kenney Nichols, She was chatting with Ahti, of the happy days spent in the Fitchburg High. After dinner Ralph Maggs, the master of ceremonies, introduced the speakers. The first speaker was Nelson Lashua of Paducah Tech., who spoke on The Women of Today. Alvah Lassila spoke on Finland Now and Then. Edwin Hoglund, the professor of mathematics at Jollymore College, spoke on Some Things. Edward Jerome of the Raivaaja Publishing Company spoke on Who Cares. [ 17 ] CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 The entertainment committee, headed by Anna Kok- kinen, favored the attendants with a varied program which was greatly enjoyed. OHver Johnson, the Gym instructor at the Playwell Club, did some difficult acro- batic performances that thrilled all those present. Mat- thew Johnston played White Clouds and Roll Stone on his accordion. Julian Le Clair gave a very good imi- tation of two game cocks fighting. Torsti Matson sang a few Swedish folk songs, with piano accompaniment by Jeannette Herrick. Fostine Morrill, the well-known ac- tress, sang some popular songs that were received with great applause. Robert Loudon and Josephine Locascio put on a comic skit entitled Scrambled Eggs. It was everything the title suggested. This concluded the entertainment. When we were preparing to leave, many of our old school mates approached and chatted with the various members of our party. Doris Anderson, the fancy skater, told us of the whereabouts of several of our classmates. She said Kathleen Brown was the proprietor of a beauty parlor in New Haven; Dorothy Bernstone worked in the law office of Ruth Gorham and Doris Gorts; Gwendolyn Fisher was working for the Leominster Trust Company; and Merle Dudley was the head of the Orlando Orange Packers Union in Orlando, Florida. We went home early that morning and slept till late afternoon. On awaking, most of our muscles were lame. Raymond Belliveau suggested that we take a hike that afternoon up Roll Rock Hill. We walked for miles and miles without finding a suitable site for a picnic. To our amazement we saw in our old picnic grounds a party led by our old friend, Abbott Goldberg. We stopped to watch the girls play hop scotch. May Chitoff had a siz- able lead when she had to retire because she sprained her ankle trying to kick the pivot into the next square. Two persons of the upper class of society seemed to to be approaching us on horseback. To our surprise they were no other than Irie Salmi and Toini Salminen. As they passed by, Toini lifted her monocle to her left eye and cast at us a distant glance that nearly knocked us off the wall. After a few minutes of deciding, she uttered something that sounded like a high pitched [ 18 ] n- 'Sv- - Sn the coming daze o, , Hello and went on. Why, Professor Reino Puro of Digmore would call her a snob, said Gino Pallozzi. The woods were simply filled with old acquaint- ances, Phyllis Taylor, the Gym instructor, passed us with her reducing class on their annual hike. We were introduced to some of our old classmates whom we'd have never recognized because they had grown so. Among the hikers were Catherine Anastos, Katherine Bresnahan. Ruth Clark, Mildred Erickson, and Mildred Filiau. Our next point of interest was Walter Benson's Animal Farm. Benson, being an old friend of ours, in- troduced us to his helpers and trainers as follows: Gerald Capone, lion tamer; Helen Cassidy, bare back ri- der; Mary Celuzza, peanut vender; and Loretta Driscoll, aerial artist. A large African elephant got loose from its cage and ran wild about the grounds. Uuno Rusta- ri, the great Finnish wrestler, saw the beast coming to- ward him. He immediately got set to take a flying tackle. What do you think he saw? (Pink elephants, we guess. ) Walter Guenther, a bystander, ran off to call the am- bulance. When it arrived, Harold Hassett and Reino Johnson got out, carrying a stretcher. Following these two aids were doctor Unto Jakola with his trusty old carpet bag in his hand. It was later found that Unto's grandfather was one of the original carpet-baggers in U. S. History. When they reached the site of the acci- dent, they found the elephant lying prostrated on the ground, knocked out by Rustari's flying tackle. On our way home we stopped at Lucille Pothier's chicken farm. Carl Schadlich, another prominent farm- er, lived across the road . Miss Pothier requested Karl to show us around her farm. On entering one of the hen houses we heard a peculiar noise. What's that? said Beldo. That's Onni Sironen singing out there in the hay field, Schadlich replied. The hens, after laying eggs, would cackle thus: tec- tec-tec, technocracy! while they stood on the nest. After collecting the eggs, we went down to the hay- field to see Onni work. Over the wall enclosing the [ 19 ] CLASS PROPHECY— 1933 hayfield, Enid Stewart, the Captain of troop I2h, was seen picking blueberries with her group of Girl Scouts. The group picked blueberries for an hour or two. When they put them all together, they had just two quarts. These we took to Margaret Walsh's delicatessen store, where we barterd them for six ice cream cones. In the store Anne Ward, the well known elocutionist, gave us six tickets free. On these tickets we were able to gain admittance to hear her recite ' 'Sing, Sing, You Merry Gentlemen at Hipwell Hall on the following night. Before the performance we went into Gladys Goy- ette's Beauty Parlor, where we had our hair curled and our hands manicured. Then each of us bought a new pair of shoes in George Glenny's shoe store on the cor- ner of Sulint and Main Streets. As we walked down Main street, everybody was staring at us. as though we had just come from the sticks. As we passed the depot, the notables of our city were bidding Albert Funaiole, the great Notre Dame football star, a bon voyage to South Bend. Hipwell Hall stands across the road from the depot. It is of large Gothic architecture, with bulbs of various colored lights that spell the name of the hall above the front door. Ahti Wiita's seat was in the first row right beside His Honor, William Flynn, Mayor of Fitchburg. Miss Ward's performance was hailed as a master- piece. Her techniqne, skill, calmness, and ability to perform was well shown that night when she recited. Sing, Sing, You Merry Gentlemen. After the show we boarded one of the S. B. S. (slow- but sure) trolley cars that was on the way to Lexum- burg. Jack Daulton, the motorman, let us ride free. When we reached Lexumburg, the members of our party started for the places of their occupations. Gino Pallozzi was the Salami King of Albee street, Raymond Belliveau manufactured baby carriages in his shop on Schnozzola street, Frederick Sullivan worked in a bank (the sand bank). Ahti Wiita sold peanuts and pop com at Park Mount Park, Charles Beldo was in the dough, for he worked in the bread making department of Hard Rock Bakery, and I went back to the sticks to live with the rest of my family.
