John Harper Duf uid Hash fulness is an ornament to youth. John takes life seriously, but we have noted of late that he is beginning to peek out of the corner of his eye at the young ladies, especially brunettes.

We expect next year to hear that Johnnie has taken a trip to Scotland. Football (2-3-4), Basketball (2-3-4), Baseball (2-3-4).

THE BOULDER Robert Alexander Ferazza is danycrous to tread on a man ilIio has red hair. Red is a good dancer and proved himself a cle er runner too when he ran for the Juniors in the Relay race. Red is one of the luminaries in Mr. Dufour's third year Spanish Class. Perhaps some day he will be a second Sidney Franklin, the American toreador. Olee Club (2), Baseball (3), Relay (3), Foot- ball (3-4). Anthony Donald Fiandaca The only L'ay to have a friend is to be one. Tony is one of our many fine representatives from Water Street. When he isn't participating in athletics, he may be found either working in his father's store or in the company of a certain blonde in our class. Tony has a keen interest in alesmanship. He intends to enter a business college next fall. Football (3-4), Relay Team (3-4). Bertram Walte Fidler His talents are of a more silent class. Bertram was one of the members of the band. His favorite sport is skating and he is often seen at MacTaggart's Pond in West Fitchburg. He is interested in electricity and plans to attend an electrical school in Pittsfield. Glee Club (4), Band (3-4). Mildred Freda Filiau Her -voice ii:as ever soft Gentle and loic; an excellent thing in luomen. Mildred is one of our exceptionally modest and (|uiet schoolmates, but her own circle of friends and ac(|uaintances always enjoys her presence. She is industrious, too, for in order to fulfill her plans for the future, office work, she is getting some experience by working after school hours in a downtown office. Besides her school and work she also found time to play on the volleyball team and to enjov other sports. 'ol!evliall (2-3). Gwendolyn Barbara Fisher Pleasure and action make the hours seem short. Gwen is one of our athletic girls. She always plavs the game whatever the sport and there are no. forfeits where her team is concerned. She is ahvays in demand when any dance or play is being arranged, for her artistic abilities are well known and her posters have won several prizes. A V dance vithout Gwen and her companions would be like a sandwich without any bread. Basketball (2-3-4), Volleyball (2-3), Orchestra (3-4), Painting Club. Charlotte Fletcher laut h'd, and danc'd and talk'd and sang. Charlotte spends much of her time and talent in outside social activities. Her sweet voice has made many a long, dreary evening pleasant.
