May the earnestness of purpose and sturdiness of character, shown so clearly in the trials of your senior year, carry you safely through the fires of adversity which may confront you in the future, to the ultimate success which will be yours. James A. Chalmers. 6 Edwin Ellsworth Nickerson A man of sterling qualities, well capable of any task. Eddie, as our class president, has had a lot of hard work to do and in our opinion he has done it all very successfully. Whatever he undertakes, he carries through to a fine finish. Besides being our presi- dent, Eddie was the basketball team manager and a star track man. Debating Club, Prize Speaking Winner 2 Dramatic Club, Open Meeting, Councillor 2, 3, 4 Band 3 Relay Team, Track Team, Red and Grey Board, Class President 3, 4 Basketball Manager, President of School Council, Marshal, Round Table 4 Senior Class Play Mary Tilton Flint A right jolly good laugh has she. For two years Mary has served as the very able vice-president of our class. Besides being a fine leader, she excels in both tennis and the terpsichorean art. At the same time she has maintained high marks in her studies and has always been a membei of the Honor Roll. Her well-dressed appearance, her pleasing voice, and her gay spirit have made her extremely well-liked by both faculty and class. Girls' Tennis Tournament 2, 3 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Marshal, Round Table Phyllis Marion Anderson A modest answer and graceful air, Show her wise as she is fair. Phyllis was our class secretary for two years and she made a good job of it. She is particularly inter- ested in music and her voice has been heard in many school and church musicales. Possessed of a pleasing personality, Phyl is bound to make a name for herself in future years. Hockey, Councillor 2 Class Secretary 3, 4 Open Meeting Ticket Committee Round Table Glee Club, Dramatic Club 4 Oliver Tenho Jackson Worth makes the man. and want of it, the fellow. Oliver was first appointed marshal by our faculty; recognizing his good work and ability, we elected him our class treasurer. Although he did not take a prominent part in sports, Oliver was always present at our athletic as well as our social activities. A popular person with everyone. Football 2, 3 Junior-Senior Reception Committee Councillor 3 Adrien Francis Boudreau Un petit homme. Adrien, as we all know, is quite a minute person in size, but not in activities. From what we h ear, he is prominent at the St. Joseph A. C. in Cleghorn, even though he is some- what reserved in school. Alice Sigrid Erickson b) aren't they all contented like me? Alice is one of our girls who have a smile for ever)'one. Her sense of humor IS excellent. Al knows all the popular songs and we often hear her humming them around school. Although she has never liked school, she has given her full support to it. She has hopes of becoming a tele- phone operator. Basketball 2, 4; Hockey 2, 3 Dramatic Club 4 Arthur Harold Maggs He smiles from dawn to dusk. Mugg's smile is one of those very contagious afflictions which would brighten up even the face of a fellow with indefinites. As a helper at the lunch counter, Arthur could sell a half-filled ice cream cone plus his smile and more than satisfy the victim. Hildegard Clara Innerasky Full of pep, full of fun, A laugh and a smile for everyone. X'ho could ask for a more cheer- ful person than Hildegard ? Her very eyes are brimming over with mirth. She has many clothes which she wears very becomingly. Mr. Howard's room is brightened with her presence every other week. Alexander Campbell MacLean One who could be trusted to do the right thing at the right lime. Alexander, or Mac as he is usually called, is a rather quiet person in school. Perhaps because his heart is in the Highlands. Outside of school, he is an expert fisherman and hunter. His favorite subject is German. Track 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 4 Ellen Irene Karvonen A maiden, modest and self- possessed. This unassuming little girl goes on her way so quietly that we won- der what her greatest interests really are, aside from her studies. She's another of the high honor pupils from Westminster. Henry George Tousignant His thoughts look through his words. A likeable young fellow is Tougie. His interests vary, skating being his chief hobby in winter. He lives 'way up country, but manages to get to school, rain or shine. V Dora Demont Describe her who can. Doras hearty laugh is far-famed among her many friends. She is fond of sports and was always pre- sent at basketball and football games. Dora's chief occupation outside of school was taking care of children. Hockey 2, 3; Basketball 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club 3 8 Veikko Carlo Freeman All his perfections were so rare The wit of man could not declare Which single virtue or which grace Above the rest had any place. Veikko is a popular boy about school and possesses a charming per- sonality that is very winning. He finds time, however, to take part in school activities and sports. Basketball 2, 3 Junior Dance Committee 3 Junior-Senior Reception Committee 3 Class Treasurer 3 Relay Team 3 Councillor 3, 4 Roger Eugene Frechette Slow spoken, as befits a wise man. Baseball is only one of the activi- ties in which Roger participated while at high school. He has had a bit of bad luck with his studies, but he makes the grade all right. He is rather quiet in school, but quite different outside. Track 2 Baseball 2, 3, 4 Asst. Manager Football 3 Glee Club 3, 4 Jouko Savolainen A man not limited in abilities. One of our most talented boys is Jouko, as is proved by his varied field of abilities. He is an artist of some note, a mathematical genius, and a wizard in the intricate princi- ples of chemistry. He has also man- aged to master German in the few hours of his spare time. Stanley Paul Collette A favorite with the fair sex. Paul, the red-haired dynamo of our class, certainly seems to possess that certain something which brings many girls within beckoning call. Perhaps the reason is that he is so happy-go-lucky. Relay Team 3 Football Manager 4 Ellen Vellamo Pelto Laughing eyes, a merry smile, And a merry, merry heart. Ellen, an amiable and well-liked person, took part in many school sports and was a member of the Senior School Champs hockey team. She plans to take up hairdressing as her vocation. Volleyball, Basketball, Hockey, 2, 3, 4 Adele Husari A good hater. Journalism is the star that gleams ahead of Adele, and her cleverness will carry her far towards this goal. Cast your spell over the editors, Adele, and you're bound to succeed. Her originality frees her from many tight places and her unusual men- tality is ever a source of interest and speculation. Hockey, Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 4 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Red and Gray Board 3, 4 Debating Club 4 Round Table Edith Lovell Shields And eier as she went some merry lay she sung. Her cheerful smile and witty ban- ter brightened many of our gloomy days. She has made no plans for the future, but when she lands, we can be sure it will be with a grin and on both feet. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Marshal Helen Louise McAuliff Gdze into her eyes — and you see a little angel — Gaze a little longer and you see a little imp. Helen is a little miss who looks like an angel, but from time to time we find out differently. She enjoys physical training, especially when Miss Gibbons is there. We notice that Helen likes to referee at basket- ball games. Councillor 2 Dramatic Club 2, 4 Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, Referee, Debating Club 2, 3, 4 Debating Club Dance Committee 3 French Club 4 Senior Ticket Committee Open Meeting of Debating Club 9 Warren Wilbur Marcy His friends and fortunes one could guess, By his fine habits and gentleness. Warren is the sort of fellow who mixes well with both sexes. He is very neat in appearance and his beaming expression more than makes up for his quiet demeanor. It will only be a matter of time before he will be showing his heels to many of us in the race for success. William Joseph Courtemanche As happy as the day is long, With hardly ever a lesson wrong. Courtemanche is a man of few words. He is one of our outstanding pupils in the college course, since he has attained a high scholastic record. To our knowledge, he doesn't indulge in sport and seems to be contented with a quiet and mild life. Marshal Rodney Lawrence Erickson A goodly share of laughter in his eye. Bud can always be identified in a crowd by his broad smile and his jolly face. He is not exactly apathe- tic to the opposite sex, although he seems so in school. In winter sports he shines, especially on the skating rink where he has yet to meet his match. Councillor 2 Frederick Thomas Poultney My designs and labor, and my aspirations. Are my friends. Freddie, who hails from West Fitchburg, has always been known to be quiet in and around the schools surroundings. Although this handsome young man is very shy, he has maay friends. Mechani- cal drawing seems to be Freddie's aim. Glee Club 4 ill Eleanor May Parkhurst Hou far that candle throws its beams. Besides possessing an excellent sense of humor, Eleanor is also very candid. Because of these character- istics, she is the life of a certain class. Her determined spirit will without a doubt fulfill her plans for the future. Dramatic Club 2 Glee Club, Holy City, Pop Concert 3 Elna Marian Perko A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Elna has a great many friends be- cause of her unfailing good nature. She has done well in all the school sports in which she has taken part. She fu rnished jokes for the Boulder as a member of the joke committee. Basketball, Volleyball 2 Hockey 2, 3 Boulder Joke Committee Rose Flaum Kind and quiet, ahvays neat. Rose has a tendency for the soli- tary life which is seldom broken ex- cept by her close friends. Never- theless, we have perceived that she has many winning qualities. She likes all sports and is a very good volleyball player. Basketball 2 Hockey 2, 3; Volleyball 3 Helvi Irene Wesa Bright as the sun her eyes were, And like the sun, they shone on all alike. Helvi, friend and helper to all, is an inhabitant of the South Side. Her many friends are proof of her amiability and thoughtfulness. One of Helvi's characteristics is to see a job to the finish, which certainly points to a successful life. Basketball 2; Dramatic Club 3 10 3 0[)LD Jl Ji)i:£) Toivo Rustari Quiet but a man of strength. Toby was not particularly inter- ested in taking part in school sports. In school he was of the quiet type. He likes swimming, baseball, foot- ball, skiing, and skating. Relay Team 3 ; Track Team 4 Esther Emelia Waltanen I live not in fnyself, But I become a portion of that around me. Blonde, friendly, and gay fits Esther to a T. She figures that marks are a good thing, but fun is still better, and even if the former must suffer, Let's all have fun, all of which is a pretty good policy, sometimes. Esther has a grand sense of humor and her jollity never ceases. Glee Club, Dramatic Club 3 Erwin Alfred Hecker His words, like so many airy and nimble servitors, trip about him at command. Physically and vocally, Erwin is a man of action. He can form words so quickly and so easily that it re- quires a trained ear to understand him. He moves about with equal grace and ease. Relay Team 3 Rita Josephine Lemoine Good temper is like a sunny day; It sheds its brightness everywhere. Did you ever see Rita when she wasn't smiling? Perhaps the reason for this is that she never worries about her studies. She is, however, an ardent participant in sports and, as a result, has rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. Volleyball 2, 3 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4 Class Color Committee 3 Dramatic Club 3, 4 William Brown Waddell His works speak for him. W illie is one of our hard-working boys in school and outside. This, combined with his naturally quiet manner makes him rather obscure, but then, the loudest man is not necessarily the smartest ! This is particularly true in Willie's case and his most intimate friends will not be surprised to see him go far in his chosen profession. James Martin McNamara am sure care's an enemy to life. Class loyalty, executive ability, and a thorough enjoyment of life are Jimmie's outstanding characteristics and will probably carry him far in whatever field he selects. A favor- ite with both sexes. Dramatic Club Red and Gray Board 2, 3, 4 Junior Dance Committee 3 Round Table President, Debating Club 4 Mary Little Coombs A stately maid of quiet mien. Mary has gained lots of friends during the past four years because of her quiet manner and sense of humor. She is a very good student and has taken part in many of our activities. Basketball 2 Dramatic Club, Round Table 4 Louise Bull But a merrier girl, Within the limits of becoming mirth 1 never spent an hour's talk withal. Squeeze is one of our most popu- lar girls. She has very ably edited the Red and Gray this past year, and before the fire was an energetic marshal on the third floor. She has a well-known and infectious smile, which has gained her a host of friends. A very capable student, Louise is bound to get along splen- didly at Wellesley. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Debating Club 3 Chairman, Junior-Senior Recep- tion Committee 3 Red and Gray Board 3 Editor-in-Chief, Red and Gray; Marshal, Round Table 4 11 David John Sweeney Business before pleasure. Dave is a lucky fellow. He com- bines his business with his pleasure by serving as an usher at the Cum- ings Theatre. Our guess is that he studies between the acts to have the time he does for outside sports. At any rate, in whatever he does, he brings home the bacon. Basketball 2, 3 Lillian Gladys Filiponis Gentle to hear, kind to judge. Lillian may be small, but, oh my! She is quite a gay chatterer and her willingness to divert her schoolmates has brought her near 310, more than once! She is well liked, however, and supports her school with zest. Volleyball, Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 3 Andrew Hawthorne Cheerily greeting each oncoming da). Gilding with smiles each step of the way. Andy's chief characteristics are his devilish grin and happy-go-lucky manner. He never seemed to have a care, unless it was a new way to make life miserable for his teachers. We do not know Andy s plans for the future, but will wager that in whatever he does he will be suc- cessful. Football 4 Arne Pavo Parnanen Endurance is the crowning quality. And patience all the passion of great hearts. Pavo is known to us as an earnest student. He didn't indulge in school .sports, but was often seen enjoy- ing himself on the skating rink with his friends. Helen Marjorie Rafuse Her voice is like the evening thrush. Helen likes to sing and we enjo i hearing her, although we must say that she didn't give us very many opportunities. Hairdressing is fas- cinating to her and she intends to make it her occupation. Glee Club 3 Katharine Chalmers A sueeter maiden one can not find. The above quotation is perfectly true of Kat. Her lovability made her one of the most popular girls in the class and her fine qualities endeared her still more. Kat is prominent in sports and dramatics, and is, moreover, a very good stu- dent. Hockey, Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Junior-Senior Reception Com- mittee 3 Thanksgiving Dance Committee, Marshal 4 Harold Franklyn Jacobson Oh. it is excellent to have a giant's strength. Harold is one of the tallest boys in our class and one of the most cheerful. One can always draw a good laugh from Harold, be it in work or in play. His height is a great asset on the basketball court, on which he has always been a prominent figure. He is well known for his football prowess, also. Rachel Kenney She does little kindnesses, Which most leave undone, or despise. No rings on her fingers, no bells on her toes, she makes no commo- tion wherever she goes, but in her unassuming way she leaves a defi- nite and restful impression and makes few demands on her friends. Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 12 Algidio Pasquale Membrino A good worker who gets results. Membrino has always been known to be quiet around school and many of us were misled by his sober ex- pressions. To our surprise, he is quite the contrary and enjoys him- self at every opportunity. At pre- sent his hobby is setting up pins for the boys at the bowling alley. Junior-Senior Relay 3 Edward Thomas Donnelly A lad of nimble foot. Ed is a newcomer here, but he's made up for that long ago. He is a good dancer and he and his side- kick, Don Boyce, can often be seen at many of the local dances. Al- though he's quiet about the school, don't let him fool you, for he is not so silent outside. Ellen Valvakki Niemi A maiden who is richly blessed With loads of friends and happiness. Although Ellen is fond of danc- ing, her name always appeared on the Honor Roll. Her witty talk and friendliness won her many friends. As a pianist, she is quite accom- plished. Mary Parechanian A face with gladness spread, Soft smiles by human kindness bred. Mary is a quiet girl with a gen- tle disposition. She is careful to have her homework completed, but also finds time to sew and read. Her hobby is collecting snap-shots. William Wallace Revell A fine fellow, liked by all he meets. Bill is more quiet than some of us, but outside of school, so we hear, he is less silent. He is a dependable student. Bill's grin is known to many people and it has helped him to gain many friends. Richard Libby Noble His stately mien as well implied the martial pride as high-born heart. Dick is another of our football men and did very good work with the team. If you ever want an audi- ence for a joke, go to Dick. His countenance marks him as a man with many friends. Football 2, 3, 4 Marshal 'Write-up Committee of Boulder 4 Jacqueline Mary Devens Not bold, not shy, nor short, nor tall. But a good mingling of them all. Jacqueline is calm and serene, but she can smile very sweetly. Al- though not lazy, she never lets any- thing worry her. Jac is always ready to help a friend out of trouble and knows how to take a joke. 'We know that she will never get a ner- vous breakdown from studying. Hockey, Volleyball 2 Elwilda Marie Beaulieu Exceedingly wise. With imploring brown eyes. Edwilda is one of our dark-haired beauties with a tantalizing smile and lively, sparkling eyes. She has a gypsy type of character, always care- free, but when sad, very sad. 13 Stanley John Matuszeuricz A youth was he of quiet ways. Stanley is a quiet lad who hasn't taken much interest in school activi- ties. Size has prevented him from competing with the more brawny fellows in athletics, but he is quite eminent as a caddy at the Oak Hill Country Club. Arvo Aho A jaithful man and honorable. Here is our bashful lad from Westminster. We are told by his friends that his good humor never ceases and that he is always ready for some fun. His sunny disposi- tion has gained him many friends. Angelo Michael lacoboni am master of my fate. Angelo is one of our outstanding pupils in the college course. He has a purpose in life which we trust he will accomplish.! Being a dimin- utive lad, it is impossible for him to participate in all sports. But that doesn't stop him from being one of our tennis stars. Tennis 2, ?i Junior-Senior Relay Team, Debat- ing Club 3, 4 Chairman, Class Motto Committee Boulder Business Manager Round Table Marshal, Open Meeting 4 Veikko Walter Jakola Virtue and genuine graces in themselves Speak what no words can utter. Veikko is a rather quiet boy, but one who is always able to laugh at a good joke. Upholding a family tradition, Veikko is a very capable basketball player and besides this, he excels in baseball and hockey. Baseball 3 Etta May Steeves A worker, a friend, and a student. Etta is one of our girls who has a smile for everyone. She is the best pal of all her friends and is prom- inent in social affairs. Some day soon Etta will be called Nursie, as she has successfully passed her entrance examination at the Burbank. Hockey, Dramatic Club, Debating Club 2 Basketball 2, 3 Volleyball 3 Class Dues Committee 4 Mary Eldora Kendall A merry heart goes all the day. X'hen you really get to know Mazie, you'll find she has a keen sense of humor, for her remarks have often kept us from falling asleep in Math class. Mary is also a good student and seems to enjoy writing English compositions. She intends to study further at Becker College in Worcester. Hockey, Baskeball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Rhoda Miller Her stature tall — her manner dignified. A good listener is a best seller — that is one of the many reasons for Rhodas popularity with both sexes. On the dance floor, Rhoda's mastery of the intricacies of that art can be immediately recognized. French Club 2 Volleyball 2. 3 Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Alice Gertrude Tousignant Never thought, or dream, or faltering Marred the promise of her youth. Although quiet, Alice is lots of fun and is on hand when there's any excitement. She has a long way to come to school, but manages to be prompt and regular in her at - tendance. She is a good student and a friend to all. 14 Howard Henry Andrews He came in from ihe country. Although Howie plays in the orch- estra, he is not adverse to letting the others play while he guides the fair damsels about the dance floor. As Howie hails from the top of Pearl Hill his favorite song is, I'm way up heyah, she's way down theyah. Senior Thanksgiving Dance Committee Orchestra, Band 2, 3, 4 Raymond Joseph Beaulieu He tried the luxury of being good. Ray, with his winning personality and debonair ways, is one of the best liked boys in our class. He is al- ways ready for fun and is a good sport. Glee Club, French Club 4 Richard Thomas Williams A youth sincere and true. Richard, one of our football men, seems to be satisfied with a mild life. He finds much enjoyment in sports and is often seen down at the Y participating in an exciting basket- bail game. Football 4 Beulah Priscilla Mitchell She doeth all things well. Watertown's loss was Fitchburg's gain when Beulah joined us in our Junior year. Beulah is an excel- lent student and is a pas t master of 'Vergil. How we envied her! Basketball, Dramatic Club 3, 4 French Club, Boulder Write-up Committee, Round Table 4 Yolanda Eleanor Chivilo Her quiet nature seemed to he Tuned to each season's harmony. Yolanda is one of those persons who are endowed with that all too rare power of listening. She is ever alert for any bit of humor and a perpe- tual twinkle in her eyes suggests some mischief which, however, we have yet to see demonstrated. Hockey 2 Volleyball 2, 3 Glee Club 3 Hilkka Mary Heikkila Her soft voice, her alluring charms have won her many friends. Hilkka, always cheerful and friend- ly, is a good and dependable stu- dent, working in the office every other week. She takes part in school sports and has a fondness for skat- ing and dancing. French Club 2 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3 Volleyball, Dramatic Club, Councillor 3 Ollie Kullervo Rasanen There are smiles — Ollie is, as we have observed, a quiet sort of fellow except in Chem- istry. He is limited in his activi- ties outside of school though he is a real all around fellow. Unfortu- nately he fades back in the gallery of school activities. Irma Gertrude Bovellan She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies. Irma, one of the most popular members of our class, is a good stu- dent, a participant in school sports, and an excellent swimmer. Dancing is a favorite pastime with her. Basketball 2; Marshal 3, 4 Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4 15 Arthur Oscar Sivula He is the stuff that stands for generations. Arthur is a competent and indus- trious fellow who takes his studies quite seriously. His work has not been unrewarded as his name has been consistently inscribed on the Honor Roll. He is very fond of the great out-doors and camps at Wy- man's every summer. Dramatic Club, Glee Club 3 Barbara Madelene Romano Her sunny temper gilds the edge of life's black cloud. Barbara's friendship is like ster- ling. Although she is very quiet and remote, we never see her without a friend. Barbara works hard so she may attain a high standard in school work. This often keeps her from entering all the activities at school. Basketball, Hockey 2 Dramatic Club 4 Bernard Whittemore A man he serried of cheerful yester- days and confident tomorrows. Bernie has a wonderful leg devel- opment from strolling so much on Main Street, a pastime which con- stitutes his daily exercise. His les- sons never seem to worry him, but he manages to draw satisfactory marks. He is an eager participant in all sports. Hester Parker Enthusiasm is the life of my soul. Hester has shone in all sports. She has a wicked aim with a basket- ball, which has helped her teams to great success. She is not particu- larly interested in studies, but has managed to more than hold her own. Besides basketball, dancing and swim- ming are her favorite sports. Volleyball, 2, 3 Hockey, Basketball, Referee 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club 3 Waldo Earnest Safford He is always in such perfect humor. One of Waldo's chief interests is sport. He is a member of one of the Y. M. C. A. basketball teams and we have heard that he is also an excellent hockey player. Waldo is a rather quiet looking chap, but Miss Haskins wishes his actions coincided with his appearance. p Barbara Louise Pearson Her mild expression spoke a mind In duty firm, composed, resigned. Barb is one of those persons who try always to please others regard- less of the sacrifice to herself. She seems to find plenty of time to enjoy herself though and is often seen at Rainbow dances. George Robert Weldon He hath no power who hath not power to use. Although he did not participate in school sports, Weldy is an excel- lent athlete. His favorite occupa- tion is playing hockey for Brick Mill. He is not especially interested in his lessons, but he usually has the an- swers when called for. Football Squad B 2 91 Ruth Lilyan Sulkin Intermingled mirth and earnestness. Ruth's impulsiveness is entertain- ing. She is always happy to join in any enterprise that will result in a jolly time. Thanks to her pleasing personality, it most assuredly is a jolly time. Swimming is the pastime of which she is most fond. French Club 2 Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey 2, 3 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 16 Aubrey Edgar Hastings Titles of honor add not to his worth Who is himselj an honor to his titles. Aubrey is the sort of fellow one would like to know better. He has a wide and varied range of knowl- edge which often shows itself in his class work. If you want an interest- ing discussion on anything from sports to religion, go to Aubrey. He keeps in fine physical condition by basketball and gym work. Junior Reception Junior Dance Councillor Joseph Tamulonis The world belongs to the energetic. Joe is a tall, friendly, and unas- suming lad, whose only regret is that he hasn't enough time for his book- keeping. He was a supporter of our relay team last year. Relay 3 James Bernard Kalagher He had the warmth of genial courtesy, The calm of self-reliance. Jimmy is a favorite of many of the boys around school. He has a great love for athletics, and although his light weight is a handicap, he was a star on the football team. Jim doesn't say much, but his sunny disposition speaks for him. Football 2, 3, 4 Track 3, 4 Chester Richard Johnson A silent man, hut one in whom the world rejoices. Chester, or rather Chet, is a quiet lad, but nevertheless, he is very popu- lar with everyone. You should hear the girls rave about his mastery of the dance. Besides that achieve- ment, Chet is also good in the class- room. Red and Gray Board 3, 4 Glee Club 4 Lily Marie Kempi Street mercy is nobility's true badge. Lily has courage which, no doubt, will carry her far in the future. She is another one who travels a long way to secure an education and her good marks show that she studies. Basketball, Dramatic Club 2 Laura Edith Vincent She has a head to contrive, a heart to resolve, and a hand to execute. Here is another member of our class who travels a long way to her classes each day. Because of this she has a right to take considerable satisfaction in her good attendance and record. Basketball, Volleyball 2 Glee Club 3 Linda Eloise Bingham She was a friend indeed. Linda is forced to come a long distance every day to school. To be more specific, she comes from the heights of Pearl Hill. She is taking the general course. She is also one of those girls about whom, or from whom you hear very little. Glee Club 4 Anita Margaret Driscoll Laughter and I are the best of friends. Anita is always in a happy mood and willing to do some mischievous act. She is sports minded and be- sides sitting on the sidelines watch- ing a game, she often participates. Although Anita hasn't fully decided what to do after graduation, she is everlastingly building castles in the air. Hockey, Basketball, Referee 2, 3, 4 Debating Club Dance Committee, French Club Dance 3 French Qub, Debating Club 3, 4 Dramatic Club 4 Open Meeting Debating Club 17 George Hjalmar Raatikainen A more prince!} looking man never stepped thro' a prince's hall. George is a tall, dark, and hand- some boy who possesses polished ways and a gentleman's manners. Though George doesn't strain him- self doing school work, he manages to obtain satisfactory marks. He is an athlete of some note, specializing in basketball. Franklin Merton Boyle Laugh and the world laughs with you. Franklin is a person who is noted for speaking his mind outright. While he is not a brilliant student, he never seems to have a great deal of trouble with his marks. He should succeed in whatever work he chooses to take up. Basketball 2 Edmund Joseph Woodcome A stronger man we've yet to see. Ed Woodcome must be one of Charles Atlas' pupils, for his brawn and also brain have causcJ Crocker Field to resound with his name many times on Saturday afternoons this past fall. As a football player, Ed takes the cake. Though he does not care much for studies, he did good work in class. Football 2, 3, 4 Donald Francis Simpson Born for success he seemed, With grace to win and heart to hold. Don is a great favorite with both the boys and the girls. He loves to swim and virtually turns into a fish during the summer. He has a cheerful disposition, and is a real friend. Alice Constance Sheppard It's not so much what we think, but what we do. We don't hear from Alice very often in school, but she faithfully does her homework, although she has outside interests. Alice is always willing to help others and this gains her many friends. Hockey 2; Basketball 2, 3 Councillor 3 Helen Irene Barnicle A gentle maid with quiet modest ways. Helen would rather be seen than heard. Life seems to be serious to her, but she continually has a group of friends around her and sets ar example for the rest of us by al- ways having her lessons prepared. June Roberta Morgner A girl so sweet and fair, With a smile and pleasant air. June has often been noticed wan- dering around school wearing a very preoccupied air, concerning whose origin we have often puzzled. Per- haps she is aiming to be Greta Garbo's understudy; if so, we know she will excel. Her hobbies are swimming and riding. Basketball; Hockey; Volleyball Dramatic Club Juliette Rachel Gelinas Greatness seems in her to take it noblest form, that of simplicity. We've often wondered if Juliette is as romantic as her namesake — per- haps time will tell. She is inclined to be rather quiet, but she has a pleasant disposition. She always does her best in all that she under- takes. 18 Douglas Percy Newcombe A man of singular skill and ambition. Doug certainly seems to have as much success with the fair sex as he does with his model planes. As you know, Doug is an aviation en- thusiasist and is voted one of the most skilled model makers in the vicinity. Who knows what the con- sequences of Doug's interest will be? Anyway he's got a good start. Irving Stanley Stewart His good nature is a proper soil Upon which virtue grows, We know Irving as one of the leading mischief-makers in our class. Wherever he goes, laughter and fun are sure to follow. Al- though he enjoys good times, hard work, sports and many friendships enter into his life, too. Leo John Brandt Silence often means sincerity. There are two main classes in the scholastic world; the sharks and the duds. Leo is one of the former. He likes his bookkeeping especially well and his name is frequently seen on the Honor Roll. Councillor 2, 4 Toivo Victor Hautala He that is well paid is well satisfied. Toivo is a true example of the type of boy developed by vigorous outdoor exercise and training. It seems he spends so much time hunt- ting, fishing, or just hiking that he is unable to do quite all his home- work, but, nevertheless, he manages to get along satisfactorily. Ml Ik,- Madeleine Marie Beaulac Firm of purpose. Madeleine is envied by many stu- dents because of her ability to speak French so fluently. Madeleine al- ways does what she sets out to do and nothing can stop her until the task is done. Added to her deter- mination is unlimited patience. With these charactertistics, success ought to be certain for Madeleine. Florence Kathryn O'Brien Carefree as the wind am I. Flo doesn't have much time for her studies, although she never lags too far behind in them. Outside of school one of her main interests is dancing, in which she excels. Basketball, Hockey 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club Elsie Maria Puro Her voice is music. Elsie is one of our best students. She always has a smile for evei - one. Her voice, soft and low, is one of her pleasing traits. Her hob- bies are swimming and hiking, and she is considered an excellent hockey, basketball, and volleyball player. Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4 Class Dues Committee 3 Edith Janet Preston For all that faire is, is by nature good. Edie is a quiet person and it is perhaps that very trait which makes her such a good friend. But don't mistake that as her only character- istic. She has a grand sense of humor, loves a good time, and is also skillful in sewing. Councillor, Hockey 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Debating Club 3 Class Color Committee 3 Marshal 4 19 Olavi Soini Lystila A scholar and a ripe and good one. Olavi is a rather unassuming chap. He is one of that large crew of marshals who lost their jobs when Rome burned — he didn't even get a job holding doors. He is an honor student and a member of the Regu- lar Fellows league. Marshal Write-up Committee, Councillor 4 Ernest Edward Illig For he is a jolly good fellow. We have not yet been able to discover how Ernie manages to get his homework done, for when he is not in school, he is usually in his Ford V-8. He has a fondness for riding up and down Main Street. But all fooling aside, Ernie is a earn- est student and we hope he will do as well out of school as he has done in it. Tennis 2, 3 Senior Thanksgiving Dance Committee Albert Thayer Stone He Cometh unto you with a tale which holdeth children from their play and old men from their chimney corners. Al is known to his intimate friends as a fiend for dramatics, both coach- ing and acting. Occasionally he indulges in tricks and feats of magic which would astound even Houdini. He has also shown a great deal of knowledge of chemistry and elec- tricity. Dramatic Club 4 Arthur Omer Roberge The king of jesters am I. Arthur, a tall, dark lad in our class, is frequently engaged in vari- ous school activities. He loves a joke and a good time and his pre- sence has enlivened more than one gathering. Arthur, however, takes time for studying, so he really is serious, sometimes. Football 2, 3, 4 Track, Relay 3, 4 Junior-Senior Reception 3 Dramatic Club 4 1 Dorothy Frances Chesbrough Her life has many a hope and aim, Duties enough, and little cares. Dorothy not only does all her duties conscientiously but enjoys do- ing them as well. The Girl Scouts and outdoor sports take up much of her time. Her sincerity and thoughtfulness are two qualities by which most of us have benefited. Hockey, Basketball 2, 3 Boulder Joke Committee 4 Eunice Ruth Caplan Persuasion tips her tongue when- ever she talks. Eunice is one of the star members of the Girls' Debating Club.

French Club 4 Russell George Menard He is witty, he is wise, He's a terror for his size. Good old Rusty, though not so big as many of us, is always there with the goods. He doesn't speak very frequently in his classes, yet as often as he dares, he expresses him- self admirably. We sometimes won- der about his aim in life. Richard Berger His hark is worse than his bite. Richard has been blessed with the gift of being able to explain a happening or situation so dramati- cally that one cannot help admiring his genius. His secret is the use of physical rather than oratorical powers. You should see him play basketball and then explain the scor- ing plays afterwards. Relay Team 3 Andrew Raymond He that respects himself is safe from others, He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. Andrew has an inclination towards solitude, which is seldom broken by any effort on his part. He avoided most school activities and spent a great deal of his time reading, his favorite hobby. Lucille Edna Morse Her eyes are large and full of light. And on her lips there plays a smile. Although Lucille is inclined to be rather quiet, a perpetual twinkle in her eyes suggests a merry heart. She is an ardent participant of win- ter sports, especially skating. Hockey 2 Dramatic Club 3, 4 Louise Alice Therrien A quiet, gentle little elf Who thinks of others before herself.

Margaret Rebecca Gettens Her angel face shone bright. And made a sunshine in a shady place. Margaret is our friend from Ash- burnham. 'We think she is sweet with her light complexion and her dainty ways. Janet Flagg Mulqueeney She nobly earns whatever crow n she wears. Janet can talk; she has shown us that. She is the president of oui Dramatic Club and she surely proved herself worthy of that office. Her dramatic ability is great and any of our plays would seem lost without Janet. Her favorite sport is swim- ming and at that she's an expert.

Dramatic Club 2, 3 Joseph Arthur Caron Still waters run deep. Arthur is a quiet, capable boy who is studiously inclined as may be seen by the constant repetition of his name on the Honor Roll. Al- though he isn't engaged in any school activities, he is prominent in outside activities, especially those of his club and his church. Daisto Ensio Luokkala So shall a prudent tnan do good work With bountiful gifts. Daisto walks about the school with an air of dignity and reserve. And why shouldn't he, for he pos- sesses a matured, methodical mind and goes about his work in a thor- ough manner with no excess of thought or motion. Ring Committee 4 Herbert Gustave Laakso The rule of my life is to make busi- ness a pleasure, and pleasure a business. Herb is a fast man, not only when he's on the track, but also when he's ofT.

Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 French Club 4 Bertha Irene Seppala Like ancient tnaids. divinely formed. Bertha is a tall and fair maiden who, because of looks as well as for her congenial self, has made a host of friends. She is a student in the commercial course and someday she will probably be an excellent secretary'. Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 4 Hester Lois Hyatt Some like tvork; some like fun. I'm for both. Hester is at times serious minded, especially when her nimble fingers are flying over the keys of the type- writer doing some history for Miss Gifford. Her idea of a humorous situation centers in a practical joke. Some day we may hear of Hester as a private secretary for a large concern. French Club 2 Marshal Dramatic Club 3, 4 22 George Hector Perry Consistency, thou art a jewel. George is a quiet fellow who in class hardly ever says anything. But when he does say it, it is usually correct. He has the reputation of not caring for women, so he can usually be seen in the company of fellow-classmen. He is fond of read- ing and is often seen at the library. Kenneth Arthur Webster H s friends are everywhere . Kenny got his practice for the Junior-Senior Relay team by running to school from the Put's pond dis- trict. He loves to participate in sports, but his size ruled him out of the major competitions. If you ever want a guide for the Pearl Hill woods, ask for Kenny. Relay Team 3 Ring Committee 4 Marshal Aino Johanna Keskinen A lassie fair. With golden hair. Here is a maiden of calm and unruffled manner. Perhaps it is be- cause she never needs to worry about her report card, for high honors are a habit with her. Her class notes in the Red and Gray showed that she kept an open ear for every- thing of interest. Basketball, Volleyball 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Class Color Committee 3 Red and Gray Board 3, 4 Marshal Round Table French Club 4 Phyllis Ileen Wright When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.

Basketball 2, 3 Glee Club 3 Harold Pillsbury Rawson Music hath charjns to soothe the savage breast. Although we are minus the sav- age breast, Hal certainly can capti- vate one and all with his silver- toned cornet. Hal prefers music to studying, but he studies to under- stand music better. We often won- der how he keeps his hair so well combed. Band, Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Allan Arthur Jamnback Molasses sweet, but oh so slow! Allan has a fine sense of humor that is at its best when he is with Johnson. Allan, whose hobby is building airplanes, plans to be a for- ester.

Dramatic Club Raymond Julian Ferris A rihui whose very silence is impressive . Ray is one of the quieter boys of our class whose presence is felt, if not heard.

Charles Francis Connors Much hits he read and much more has he seen. Francis Connors is quite a stu- dent, particularly in History, though he shines in English as well. He is a great lover of the drama and has acted in many plays at school. One of his ambitions is to rival Barry- more. Football, Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Open Meeting 2, 3, 4 Class Color Committee 3 Round Table Albert Peter Miller He was like a cock uho thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3 Marshal Round Table Boulder Write-up Committee 4 24 Armas Onni Luoma The strong and sound mind is the mind that can embrace equally great things and small. Armas is a quiet but progressive lad and is Mr. Hubbard's able assist- ant. Not many boys are capable of doing this kind of double duty, so Armas can be accredited as being one of our exceptional scholars. Albert Joseph Boudreau Never thought or dream or jaltering Marred the promise of his youth. His actions outside of school are quiet. In school, his knowledge is shown by the correct answers he gives to the teachers' questions. He likes all sports and competes in them whenever an opportunity presents itself.

Basketball 2, 3, 4 Constance Eloise Barker To know her is to love her. Connie is one who likes the busi- ness side of life. Often during the day we see her trotting up and down stairs with slips of paper in her hand. Connie kept that school girl figure by marshaling on the fourth floor. She has fancy for blonds, Hockev 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3 Junior Dance Committee Marshal Red and Gray Board 3, 4 Virginia Brunt Great minds, like heaven, are pleased in doing good.

Red is one of the most popular members of our class. He was cap- tain of our football team last fall, and one of our strong gridiron war- riors. If you don't believe it, ask a few of his opponents. Football called for only a small portion of his ability though, for he was also one of our best basketball players. Baseball 2, 3 Football 2, 3, 4 Basketball Fred Einard Salo Oj his stature, he was of great length And wonderfully active, and great of strength.

All who know her will agree that she is one of the sweetest little girls who ever came from the country to grace the ranks of our class. As she is of quiet temperament, we know little about her interests outside of school. Volleyball 2 27 Jorma Lassila Nothing is impossible to the willing heart. Unusually quiet is Jorma when among strangers, but quite the oppo- site when with friends. Probably the reason why Jorma doesn't excel in his studies is because he spends so much time hunting, fishing, or trapping. Because of these numerous trips and excursions, he has become an ardent nature lover. David Jaquith Marble A plain and honest man. Marble is what you might call a gentleman farmer. His summers are spent working on a farm. One of the tallest fellows in the class with legs long enough to reach the ground. His school work has been consistently good.

Agnes Josephine Gorham She's here, she's there, she's all about, Lots of pep, and a real good scout. Agnes ably led the cheers at all the football games during her high school years.

Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Flower Committee 3 Marshal French Club 4 Mary Bicoulis Always light hearted and content. Mary is a faithful member of our class. She doesn't spend too much time studying, for she is occupied otherwise. She spends a great deal uf her time, outside of school hours, working in her father's candy shop.

X'hen he talks, he surprises you with his delightful voice. Esther Estella Rice Talented and studious is she. Although quiet, Esther is a faith- ful and active supporter of our class. She is a sports enthusiast and attends all the football games. The reason is that she is a member of the band. Esther is a good student and a good friend. Band 2, 3, 4 Everett Richard McGowan His pencil drew luhat e'er his soul designed. He is Mac to you. He can draw anything from a pencil cartoon to an oil. It was he who did much of the art work in this book. He is another of those supernatural beings whose names are constantly reappear- ing on the Honor Roll. Robert Michael Morrilly There is no sorrow in my song. Bob's radiant grin and cheerful disposition together with his fleet- ness on the cinder path made him a popular lad with his classmates. And 'tis whispered that upon de- mand, friend Bob can dash off a poem, sonnet, ode, or what-have- you ? Track 2, 3; Football 3 Secretary, Debating Club; Relay Team 3, 4 Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4 Robert Henry Arsenaiilt Stately and tall His dignity o'ershadows them all.

Phyllis has just joined The Three S Club, the shy, the sincere, and the studious. She is taking the col- lege course and the Honor Roll isn't complete without her name. She is quiet and unassuming, but entirely capable and efficient. Bernice Florence Rouisse A street attractive kind of grace. Bernice's disposition matches her voice which is soft and sweet. Con- trary to rule, she never loses her temper and so has many friends. She is the possessor of many lovely clothes and wears them with an art known to few. Dramatic Club 2 Anna Marion Gallagher Oh, who can forget the mild light of her smile? Anna is very mild in appearance and her face is always wreathed in a smile. 'We would find it hard to get along without Anna, for her sunny smiles have made her popular. Hockey, Volleyball, Debating Club, Dramatic Club 2 Glee Club 2, 3 Basketball 2, 3, 4 30 Mark Guy Thatcher, Jr. Learning makes a man a fit companion for hirnselj. We wonder how Mark, with such high standing in studies, finds time to work in the afternoon, to keep up with the latest fiction, and to du his homework. His is a secret well worth knowing. Mark also wields a wicked typewriter during his part- time work. Chairman, Ring Committee 4 Herbert George Reynolds He is jusl the quiel kind W hose nature never varies. Herbert does not mix very readily with the rest of the fellows. His desire to be alone makes us believe that he is about to propose some- thing which will startle the world. He is a member of the Y and may be seen there quite often tossing a basketball about. Frederick Donelle Whoe'er excels in what we prize, Appears as a hero in our eyes. Everyone who has heard Freddie play one of his violin solos in As- sembly or elsewhere will agree that he is a real artist. He is a scholar as well as a musician and will un- doubtedly go far in his chosen field. Orchestra 4 Frank David Chapman That smile like sunshine darts Into many a sunless heart. Frank is one of those boys who can be both serious and fun-loving. His ready wit makes him an asset to any group. Frank is quite a radio expert. He may be only a little shaver, but good things come in small packages, you know. Band 2, 3, 4 mi Claire Marie Gendron Her sweetness and her good nature are two of her greatest assets. Another excellent sportswoman of our class. Basketball is one of Claire's favorite games and she plays with great speed and accuracy. A good scholar and friendly to all. She is very neat and pleasant to talk to. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Joyce Wood Whitney should applaud thee to the very echoes, That should applaud again. Joyce is a quiet, capable, and loyal member of our class. She is small, but it's quality, not quantity, that counts. She is an enthusiast on the subject of sports and goes to all the games. Joyce is Miss Dunn's part-time helper and we know Miss Dunn finds her very efficient. Priscilla Foster Lawrence Fair and capable in many arts. Although Priscilla never carries a book home from school, she does well in her studies. She is interested in music, enjoys singing, and can play almost every brass instrument. Her engagement was recently an- nounced and we expect the wedding bells will be ringing soon. Band 4 Claire Florence Lambert A smile will go a long, long way. Claire's tongue is never idle from the time she rises until she retires. Her big, brown eyes never miss a thing. We often see Claire's nimble feet gliding over some dance floor. Claire enjoys watching the boys play on the gridiron. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3 Class Dues Committee 3 31 Albert Joseph Rouisse Not too serious, not too gay, A good fellow in every way. Although Al's school work re- ceives ver)' little attention, he has thus far got by. The chief objects of his interest are the girls of South Fitchburg and his summer camp in Shirley where he spends much of his time. Football 2, 3 Charles Adam Antonio A man full of ambition. Charley, one of the happy-go-lucky boys of our class, hopes to be a famous astronomer some day. He studies quite a bit on the subject and this, combined with his inter- est in radio, certainly ought to take him places. His manner and general attitude made him a favorite with many. Relay Team, Glee Club 3 Ralph Raymond Fletcher An honest man is the noblest work of God. Ralph's skill as a hunter, espe- cially a fox-hunter, and as a fisher- man, is almost unexcelled. His chief diversion from the serious task of studying is telling jokes to his friends. Joseph John Adams, Jr. He who is honest is noble Whatever his fortunes or birth. Joe is a happy-go-lucky fellow who seems to make the grade with- out too much studying. He can often be found in Miss Taylor's room rehearsing for some play or dis- cussing one. He is president of the French Club. Class Motto Committee 3 French Club, Dramatic Club 4 Bernice Dorothy Leary As merry as a cricket. Berny would make a good mate on a ship, as she is always on the lookout. It is easily seen that she is not the only one who enjoys good times . Perhaps it is something about her eyes that attracts. Berny is a good supporter of our girls' athletic teams. Basketball 2 Hockey 2, 3 Pauline Theresa Belliveau Al) eyes my heart portray. Pauline is dark, slim, and viva- cious. Her particular beauty is her dark eyes which literally shine like stars. She is good in sports and loves a jolly time. Because of these many traits, she is popular with everyone. Volleyball 2 Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3 Rose Ann Scarpignato Little it matters what the size, Her true, good value we realize. Rose is always merry and the best of company. Her eyes just sparkle all the time. And for her size she can make a great deal of noise I She wishes to be a dress designer. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2 Dorothy Angeline Persons ¥irm of purpose. We understand that Dot is going in training in the fall at the Bur- bank. Dottie does a great deal of dramatic work and sometimes has the lead. Although Dottie is tem- peramental, she tries hard to be pleasant to all her friends. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3 Glee Club 3, 4 Holy City Pop Concert. 32 Maurice Allen Wolpert Men of few worths are the best men. Maurice isn't the merry sort, as one can guess from his serious vis- age, but he has a dry sense of humor which is very entertaining. The skating rink proves a great distrac- tion from his studies. He is in- interested in stamp-collecting and model airplanes. Stacia Theresa Norgus One to drive away the clouds And call in the sunshine. Stacia is rather quiet, but many times we are reminded of her pre- sence by a good natured laugh. She is fond of sports and participates not only in those at school, but also skates. Another of her pastimes is the movies which she patronizes quite frequently. Hockey 2 Volleyball 2, 3, 4 Edgar Charles Nasis Better to be small and shine than to be great and cast a shadow. Edgar's contortions as an inspired cheerleader and his histrionic con- tributions to the dramatic reputa- tion of the class were his outstand- ing extra-curricular activities. We have a hunch that he knows half the dictionary by heart — he was Miss Dunn's chief looker-upper ! Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Boulder Write-up Committee, Cheerleader 4 Dorothy Elizabeth Foss Great feelings has she of her own, Which lesser souls may never know. Dot is fond of sewing and reading and we also hear she is a good cook. Some young man will be lucky! Dorothy is a very good student and very quiet while awaiting her turn to speak. When she talks on a sub- ject, she is very interesting to listen to. Hockey, Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2 Francis Melbourn Morin He who is honest is noble. Francis is one of the few who rarely, if ever, display any temper. He seems to get along well with everybody, except possibly a few teachers. He is good-natured and always willing to make friends. Martha Louise Lyons Her clear, blue eyes smiled constantly. Martha is one of our many South Siders. Martha never harasses her teachers by any flow of language; on the contrary, the teachers usually have to induce her to talk — but may- be that's only in studies. A girl of deeds instead of words. Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 3 Glee Club 3 Hockey 3, 4 Dramatic Club 4 Clifton Wallace Greene He was withal A man of elegance and stature tall. Clifton is usually seen sauntering along the corridor with that infec- tious smile which has won him so many friends. He is always gay and merry whatever the outlook may be. He hopes to obtain clerical work after graduation. Agnes Elizabeth Mildonian A tiny worker who seems so fret But a true friend to you and me. Aggie is one of our petites filles. She believes in supporting the High School outside activities, especially basketball. She always manages to play a fine game herself. Her spark- ling eyes have an everlasting beam of sunshine for everyone. Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 3 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 3 33 Walter Adams Hartwell Cheerful at morn, he wakes from short repose, Breathes the keen air and carols as he goes. Walter is the lad whom you see arriving at school in that vehi- cle he proudly calls his automobile. Walter's chief aim in life is to be- come a successful farmer. Anthony Bernard Pandiscio Laughter and fun are my close friends. Tony is a favorite with everyone, excluding, perhaps, a few of his tea- chers ! His witty remarks have dis- rupted many a class. His powers of oratory are unexcelled on account of which he has figured prominently in several Prize Speaking contests. Outside of school hours, Tony whizzes about in a large car. Prize Speaking Contest Winner 2, 3 Debating Club 2, 3, 4 Track, Relay Team 3 Dramatic Club 4 Gordon Percy Leavenworth A good time now is worth two gone by. A fellow who is almost always smiling. Gordon is interested in basketball and is a product of the Y. M. C. A. gym classes. One of the very few habits of his that annoy his teachers is a decided pro- pensity for conversing during classes. Football, Basketball 2, 3 Baseball 3, 4 Raymond Joseph Cote 11 7 was his guide. Raymond is a modest lad of whom very little has been heard. The thing that bores him most is the effort to do his homework. His favorite pastime is reading. Diane Baldwin For some are born to live and do great deeds. A poet, philosopher, a good sport, and a grand pal. She's right there on brain power and can dash off a neat poem. She's an athlete, too. We expect to hear great things of her at Smith. Basketball, Hockey, Dramatic Club, Debating Club 2, 3, 4 Junior Prom Committee 3 ■VC'rite-up Committee, French Club Marshal Round Table 4 Nancy Elizabeth Luce Gay as the rippling waters. Nancy is our bright little butter- fly who flits from room to room. Wherever she goes, she lightens the seriousness of life with her cheer- fulness. Perhaps some day she will be guiding small pupils on the road to education. Hockey, Basketball, Debating Club 2, 3, 4 Open Meeting Ticket Committee 3 Marshal 4 Virginia Munson True worth is in being, not seeming. The above quotation will give you an idea of Gin, as she not only seems to be a grand person, but is! Her friendliness and good sense of humor have made her popular with everyone and she is intensely loyal to her friends. Gin also has fine looks ; who has not envied her dark hair and eyes? Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Junior-Senior Reception 3 Boulder Joke Committee Marshal Round Table 4 Ida Laura Membrino 'Twas her thinking of others made you think of her. Ida is a small, vivacious, dark- eyed miss. Her merr)' blue eyes and dimples make it impossible to be serious when she is anywhere around. Although Ida does not care much for studying, she manages to keep her marks up and have a good time, too. Basketball 2, 3 34 John Flaherty What tnan dares, I dare. John is tall, stately, and hand- some. He is an invincible hockey player and he certainly fits into a jig-saw puzzle of sports, for any sport is John's sport. He is espe- cially interested in baseball. Glee Club 2 Uuno Eugene Sultan All actual heroes are essential men, And all men are possible heroes. Eugene is a boy who possesses certain natural abilities for leader- ship. However, he is exceptionally shy and modest and therefore dis- plays these qualities only when among friends. He is also one of these unsung athletic stars who hate the public eye. Harold Victor Pickering He knew the precise psychological moment when to say nothing. Harold, as we know, never has had too great a love of books and study. But his ingenious mind some- times reminds us of Edison. His interest lies wholly in mechanics and engineering. Someday his golf career may make the world forget Bobby Jones. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Glee Club, Debating Club 3, 4 William Edward Haulman Silence best speaks the mind. Carefree Bill — that was how we always knew him. Nothing ever worried him — not even exams. Yet he always managed to scrape through. A most faithful supporter of all acti- vities, he has our hearty wishes for success. Shirley Cleverly Red are her cheeks. Shirley can be seen trudging home- ward every evening with an armful of books. We often wonder if she studies all of them every night. Shir- ley was an interested member of the Dramatic Club and also had a fond- ness for basketball. Basketball 2 Glee Club, Dramatic Club 3, 4 Dorothy Grace Sleep Character is a perfectly educated will. When back of the wheel of her Dad's big Buick, Sleepy has a Bar- ney Oldfield complex as she whirls about the countryside. Away from the smell of gasoline, she is an omnivorous reader, a good student, and an understanding pal. Basketball, Hockey 2 Dramatic Club 3, 4 Class Prophecy Committee 4 Lily Victoria Niemi Mirth, I mean to live with thee. Lily has a scream that almost seems cultivated, especially that gig- gle that follows it! She drives a Ford and has a tendency for speed which now and then gets her into trouble. Lily intends to be a dental hygienist. Dramatic Club 4 Mary Barbara Steed Her mirth the world required. Steedie is the capering clown of our class. Her witty remarks and jolly ways keep everyone laughing from morning till night. She is al- ways getting into trouble, but by some miraculous way seems usually to evade punishment. Without Mary the class would not be the same. Volleyball 2, 3 Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 35 Arvo Arvide Lamsa Men of few words are the best men. One seldom heard a word from Arvo even when he was on duty as a marshal. But when one came in closer contact with him, he learned that when Arvo does speak he al- ways has something worth while to say. Relay Team 3 Class Motto Committee 3 Band Orchestra Round Table Hymie Silverstein Thou art a fellow of good respect. Hymie is one of our silent mem- bers, but outside he has plenty to say. He has not excelled in any one thing, but has done good, all- around work. Albert Henry Gorham An all-around good fellow is the greatest honor among man. Arbie, representing the South Side, showed us how a good center plays football. He attributes his prowess to his huge appetite; in fact, during the chorus period, he sometimes can't resist munching a sandwich. Never mind, Arbie, we admire your physique. Football 3, 4 Marcus Coolidge Delaney ■ My life is full of gaiety. A gay young blood is our Marcus. He is invariably on deck at the Y every Saturday evening. But he is not always confined to Saturday as he is an ardent ping-pong enthusiast and one of the leading players there. Football 2 Basketball, Cheer Leader 2, 3 Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Relay Team 4 Verna Judith Heisson She is maid of modest grace, Gentle both in form and face. Verna is a friendly and jolly per- son, whose favorite diversion out- side of school is dancing. Although she doesn't spend much time on her lessons, she is a good student. Basketball, Hockey 2 Dramatic Club 2 Doris Louise Peva To be merry best becomes me. Everyone knows Doris. Her sunny smile and friendly manner have gained for her a host of friends. Happy-go-lucky describes her dis- position, and to her, marks are of secondary impor;ance. We hear she teaches her choicest songs to those who ride on the school bus. Basketball 2, 3 Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Leonette Rose Hastings The crimson glow of modesty o'erspread her cheek. And gave new luster to her charms. Leonette believes in the motto, Silence is Golden for we don't hear much from her in school or out. We do know she faithfully does her home work and supports her school to the best of her ability. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2 Alma Vieno Victoria Usenius Wisdom speaks but little, but that little well. Alma, although a retiring person, shines among the brightest of our class. Possessed of a good sense of humor. Alma is a favorite with many. Class Motto Committee 3 French Club, Dramatic Club 4 Boulder Write-up Committee, Round Table 4 36 Gunnard Charles Keronen Mild-mannered in all he does. Gunnard has not made himself very obtrusive in the four years that we have known him. Although he did not take part in sports, he never- theless was a loyal supporter at all the school games. Edwin Hill Dignified and tall was he As much a man as one could be. Edwin is a manly character who displays many good qualities and can walk erectly amongst his fellow classmates. He is Miss Peabody's ace German student and also excels in the science of putting together intricate parts to make radios. Waino Victor Friberg A good man and true. Waino comes down from West- minster every morning and goes back every night. He has made a good record in high school scholas- tically and he may follow his bro- thers and go to Harvard. He has made many friends around school. Albert Warren La Fountain 7 like jun. Albert was one of the fun-loving members of our class. When he was around, there was plenty of enter- tainment for all. His ready wit and keen humor combined to make him a most enjoyable companion. Dur- ing his spare time he mastered the fiddle. Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Irene Mae Beauvais To say little and do much is the characteristic of great minds. Dark, and seemingly quiet, Irene is one of those girls whose presence is always an addition to an assembled group. Her power of listening well and saying the right thing at the right time gives her an undeniable popularity. Basketball 2 Barbara Elizabeth Gates Silence is golden. Barbara is a quiet, unobtrusive maid who gains many friends as she goes along. Only those in Bar- bara's classes can appreciate her sense of humor which occasionally creeps out and manifests itself. Although Barbara has not participated in school activities to a great extent, she is always ready to give her word of encouragement. Hockey 2 Hilma Alexsandra Braks Nowhere beats a heart so kindly. Hilma is a part-time student. One week finds her with us as a fellow- student, the next, busily engaged as secretary in the library. She is one of the pupils who come from out of town and is well liked by all who know her. Volleyball 2 Josephine Rose Romano She tchose inborn worth her acts commend, Of gentle soul; to human race, a friend. Josephine has a gracious manner and is always nice to everyone.. She likes especially to curl up in a chair and read. She is interested in dra- matics and belongs both to our own Dramatic Club and to others. Hockey 2, 4 Dramatic Club 4 37 Leonard Bruflat Landall Qii'iel. unassitminf . reserved and ihoughlfiil. The original high-boy. He hits the high notes on his trumpet with ease, pulls down the high marks in his studies, and reaches high in the air when putting on his hat. Lennie's going to live a high and mighty life with these excellent helps. Band, Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Relay Team 3 Dramatic Club. Boulder Write-up Committee, Round Table 4 David Duane Baldwin A man of brawn and several talents. Dave has several hobbies ; among them are hiking, fishing, sailing, and putting together old cars. This can give you some idea of what he is — • an outdoor man. Popular with all his classmates, Dave doesn't spend much time studying, although he always seems to do well in class. He also has a very congenial persorality. Councillor 2, Dramatic Club 2 Football 3 Thanksgiving Dance Committee Boulder Write-up Committee 4 Marshal John Francis Dustan A keen tv'it, a wise look, and an answer always ready. Frank came to us last year from Canada and has rapidly become one of the most popular members of the class. His favorite sport is football and he has been a member of the squad for the past two seasons. Dur- ing the last year he has been presi- dent of both the local Hi-Y Club and the Rollstone Christian Endeavor Society. Football 3, 4 Dramatic Club, Round Table Debating Club, Junior-Senior Reception 3 Marshal 4 Gerald Lawrence Bolduc Begone dull care. You and 1 will never agree. Gerry, a carefree and fun-loving soul, is the unofficial class connois- seur of the modern automobile. If you let him out of your sight, you'll next see him spinning around a cor- ner in a different car or even an oil truck on Saturdays. f I Jessie Rockwood Wilson Her form accorded with a mind Lovely and ardent, frank and kind. Whatever the occasion, Jessie's presence is always desirable. Her congeniality wins her many friends and she is just as entertaining in a tiresome gym class as she is in a dance hall. Hockey, Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 2 Impi Tellervo Johnson For juanners are not idle, but the fruit of loyal nature and of noble mind. Impi is one of our part-timers. By working for Miss Brown, she has discovered the ins and outs of the English language. She is also a ver)' brilliant student and masters viith apparent ease any subject she undertakes. Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3 Emily Eva Wilkins One cannot forget the mild light of her smile. X'henever you meet Emily she seems to be fairly bubbling over with laughter and good cheer. How- ever, like everyone else, she has her serious moments now and then. She doesn't take studying too seriously and is rather fond of dancing. Lucille Rose Beauvais A gentle maid with quiet, modest ways. Lucille, being fond of sports, at- tends all the school games and does her bit in the cheering. She also lends a hand on the girls' basket- ball and hockey teams. If it hadn't been for Lucille, our gym class would certainly have been out of luck, as she often assisted at the piano. Volleyball 2 Hockey, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 3 38 Charles Herbert Anderson Whal's the hurry? Charles Anderson or Swedie, as he is usually called, is one of the happy-go-lucky members of our class. His marks are in direct proportion to his efforts. Whether he is having a hard time, or is on the top, he is always smiling. Roberta Ruth Douglas Tjll. dark, and exceedingly fair. Roberta, though rather inclined to be quiet, may often be found in the center of a merry group. She loves a good time as much as any- one, but she always takes time for studying. Because of that, she often is on the Honor Roll. Stanley Ernest Mugridge A man of lofty purpose. Stanley is a more quiet member of our class who comes from West Fitchburg. He enjoys most of the sports and is one of the fine runners on our track team. After gradua- tion, Stanley plans to attend a theolo- gical school in Philadelphia. Junior-Senior Relay 3 Robert Archibald Gulliver Words with him are few But weighty indeed when spoken. Possibly the quietest boy in our class, still Robert cannot be over- looked. He may not be outstand- ing in the various activities, but he is brilliant in chemistry where he speaks laconically and with a perfect understanding of the subject. Relay Team 3 Florence Alphonsine Thibault Gentle in manner. Florence is another rather quiet girl, but that does not stop her from having lots of friends. And these friends tell us she is not so silent outside of school, for she likes a good time as well as anyone. Volleyball 2 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Basketball 3 Glee Club 4 Florence Sharcofif A girl who is very sweet and kind, One who will linger in your mind. Florence joined us in our Junior year and soon became a loyal rooter for F. H. S. She likes to dance and to go to the movies. Her amia- bility must be one reason for her numerous friends. Dramatic Club 4 Omer Napoleon Couture, Jr. High thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy. Omer proves conclusively the pro- verb, Still waters run deep. When he does speak, the words show that he has carefully thought over the subject. He uses his spare time to the best advantage by helping de- liver heat in the form of oil on Sat- urdays. Tennis 3, 4 Christine Diamond No beauty she doth miss, For beauty's self is she. Mention Chris's name to some young men and then feel their pulse. This little lassie has friends galore and a great aptitude for making new ones. Dancing and basketball are her favorite pastimes and she stars in hockey. Dramatic Club 2, 4 Sports Referee 2, 3, 4 Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey, School Hockey Champs 4 Debating Club, Ring Committtee 4 39 Patrick DiGalogero Make much of men; good men are scarce. Pat was almost invariably to be found in lively discussion with a group of friends. And in argument, size didn't count, for he always emerged in a happy frame of mind. Pat was one of our brilliant stu- dents and quite a plugger when he wanted to be. Track Manager 4 Sidney Irving Berlyn He that respects himself is safe from others. Sidney came from Worcester in his Junior year. His ready tongue always has a witty reply. He seems to do his best work in English. May- be it is the feminine element. He is popular with both sexes because of _his many talents. Lionel Abney Whiston, Jr. would applaud thee to the very skies. If you have seen Lionel rushing about in a very business-like manner, it is because of his duties as Editor- in-Chief of the Boulder. Under ad- verse circumstances, he has pushed and pulled to make the book a big success. A serious student, well liked, and possessed of some admirable qualities, Lionel will doubtless make an excellent minister if he continues his present plan. Dramatic Club 2 Debating Club 2, 3, 4 Junior-Senior Reception Committee Glee Club 3 Track, Orchestra 3, 4 Boulder Editor-in-Chief Marshal, Round Table 4 Robert John Cummings His own opinion was his law. Robert is a youth who believes that all work and no play would make him a dull boy. His jolly voice is often heard in the corridors. Robert played in the line on our football team. Football 2, 4 Gwendolyn Marie Stedeford Cheerful company shortens the miles. In Gwen we have a good friend, cheerful and likeable, who is an ard- ent fan of any sport you can name.

Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2 Basketball 3 Christina Johanna Marotta A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. Christina is very sociable and easy to get along with. She is full of fun and always likes to be on the go. She is fond of dancing and movies. Much of her leisure time is spent in reading. Swimming and basketball are her favorite sports. Basketball 2, 3 Hockey 2. 3, 4 Dramatic Club 4 Eleanor Ann Pickwick There are smiles that make you happy. This merry member of our class comes from the wilds of West Fitch- burg. Her pleasing personality has won her many faithful friends. She may be seen quite often on Satur- day nights patronizing the Y.M.C.A. Eleanor works part-time at Lincoln's store ; maybe that's why it's SO crowded on Saturdays. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey. Basketball 2, 3 Myrtle Venetia Irish Tall, slender, and capable in many arts. Myrtle, because of her height, has been a great aid to her team on the basketball floor. Her clever shots have won many a game. Basketball is not her only accomplishment, as she does equally well in both hockey and volleyball. Basketball Hockey Volleyball Sports Referee 40 Philip Norman Brown He would not flatter Neptune for his trident Or Jove for his power to thunder. Phil is a carefree lad who always sees life's brightest side. His hobby at present is taking general care of Roche's horses. And does he work them! 'We know that his future will be successful and a jolly one. Debating Club 2 Leo Joseph Richards He who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortune or birth. Do you know what Leo's favor- ite diversion is? Does he like sports or have a hobby ? I do not know the answers to these questions, but I do know that he is very quiet in class. As far as conduct is concerned, he is an ideal pupil. Relay Team 3, 4 Frederick William Ziegler, Jr. Strong in body, strong in mind. Strong in the hearts of his kind. Fritzie has made many friends through his cheerful disposition. While school work is not his spe- cialty, he gets along in good style. In the winter you can usually find him skating at Coggshall or play- ing basketball. He seems to be un- responsive to admiring feminine glances. Track 3, 4 Ring Committee, Marshal 4 Charles Bean Smile and the world smiles with you. Due to his small stature, Charles could not compete with the brawnier fellows on the gridiron, but he was awarded a position as co-manager of the team, a job which he filled very capably. Football Manager. Shirley Schleifer For who can see and then forget The glories of this gay brunette? Shirley hasn't any worries or cares and is always ready for a good time. Although she has been living in Fitchburg for nearly six years, she is still at heart a product of New York where she manages to spend her vacations. Dramatic Club 2 Sylvia Ellen Kallio A merry girl with a gentle smile. Sylvia is fond of dancing and has taken part in dramatics outside of school, but still she manages to get her homework done. She is a talka- tive and friendly girl, liked by all. Hockey, Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 3 Glee Club 4 Virginia Marion Turner c.ire hut little for the serious side of life. Virginia is a diminutive miss around school and is rather quiet. She has a sense of humor which often shows itself in class to the detriment of the lesson. But Vir- gmia is nevertheless a steady student and has many friends. Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club 4 Valerie Louise Collette Never a idle moment, but Thrifty and thoughtful of others. Valerie comes from West Fitch- burg and is an interesting relater of the people and incidents of that dis- trict. In typewriting, she not only does good work, but her amiability is a pleasant diversion to the others in her class. Volleyball, Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 4 41 Everett Lincoln Downing An all-around good fellow is the greatest honor among men. Downey certainly can make and keep friends. He believes in silence, but as it is generally men with brains who keep silent, why should he worry? Almost anytime he can be found at the Y. M. C. A. bowl- ing alleys, setting up pins. He is an ardent sports fan and loves to make guesses on the winners of foot- ball games and the next world champions. Dorothy Ruth Blanchard Her smile, her speech, uilh winning way, Wailed the darkest clouds away. Dorothy, one of our industrious part-timers, is very fond of the movies and never fails to see each good production. Her favorite winter sport is skating, in which she indulges faithfully regardless of the severity of the weather. Basketball, Hockey, Dramatic Club 2 Joseph Gaustello Though I do not speak often My mind holds many things. Joe is quiet and reserved in class, but we are told that outside of school he is quite different. He has a sunny and optimistic nature, which should carry him far in the future. Orchestra 2, 3, 4 George Richard Meldrum 'Tis goodwill makes intelligence. George, or Jiggie as he is better known, does not indulge in school athletics with the exception of bas- ketball. Outside of school, Jiggie is very versatile in all activities. He is also very popular with his own particular circle of friends, all of whom can testify to his good sense of humor. Joseph Francis Taylor ]o) is the mainspring on the whole Of endless Nature's calm rotation. Joe spends a considerable part of his time at the Oak Hill Country' Club. We hear he has taken up dancing as a pastime; we wonder why? His favorite sports are golf, swimming, skating, and football. Football 2, 3, 4 Kathleen Margaret Gallagher A friend to all. This pretty maid is known to many of us, even though she does not take an active part in all school activities. She is very pleasing to know and does well in school. Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 3 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Hiija Marie Pakkila A comrade blithe and full of glee Who dares to laugh out loud and free. There is never a dull moment when Hilja is around, for her ini- mitable sense of humor and her con- tagious laugh would brighten any atmosphere. She is also an excellent student and an efficient aid to Mr. Howard. Charlotte Lillian Moran Is she not passing fair? Charlotte is full of pep and fun and always enjoys a good time. She is fond of sports and plays on the girls' basketball, hockey, and volley- ball teams. She never was very fond of studying, but she always gets by. Her happy and friendly way will win her many more friends. Basketball, Hockey 2, 3, 4 Volleyball 3 42 George Raymond Beer The kind of fellow who doesn't shirk, And is always ready to do his work. Mike, as he is known to all his friends, is a popular fellow in school and takes part in all activities. He represented our class in the re- lay last year. He enjoys all outdoor sports, his particular favorite being skating. Relay Team 3 Dramatic Club 4 Junior-Senior Reception Alfred Andrew Niemi He nothing common did, or mean. Alfred is an easy going, pleasant fellow. Though somewhat bashful, he manages to make plenty of friends. Alfred is an enthusiastic basketball and football fan and ap- peared at most of the games. He is an addict of modern music and sits up till the wee hours listening to various orchestras. Track Team, Relay Team 3 Donald Rawdon Boyce The stranger within our gates. Don came to us from Gardner and although he has been rather promin- ent in school activities here, we un- derstand he left his heart there. Due to his scholastic standing, we expect he will do very well nexi year in college. Glen Oscar Withington Gentle in manner, firm in reality. Glen is one of the darkest com- plexioned boys in our class. He is an extremely quiet fellow and is taking the general course. In addi- tion he is one of those most fortunate mortals who never seem to get in trouble with the powers that be. Anna Isabell Meldrum As gay as a linnet, and yet As tenderly sweet as a dove Anna has never been fond of the serious side of school. She would rather give chase to some good time than sit at home and ponder ovei her lessons. We often catch a glimpse of Anna on the basketball floor or out playing hockey. Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Florence Helen Meldrum Her fingers shame the ivory keys, They dance so light along. Although it is not widely known, Florence is adept at playing the piano. She is rather reserved and wastes little time on idle chatter. According to her marks, Florence should be a success in the business world. Basketball, Volleyball 2 Paraskevy Nikitas Her voice was ever soft. Gentle and low. an excellent thing in woman. Paraskevy is one of our unassum- ing members. She moves about so quietly that few of her classmates know her well. But that does not keep her from being well liked by all who come in contact with her. Hockey 2 Basketball, Dramatic Club 2, 4 Dorothy Frances Parker Here is a waterfall of action and thought. Johnny, for thus we know her, was very fond of sports and though we suppose the girls' teams will get on somehow without her, they un- doubtedly will miss her loyal sup- port. Because of her good-natured outlook, she has gained many friends. Volleyball 2 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4 43 John Francis Lavoie W'h) days pass pleasanll) awa). Francis is our greatest little rum- pus raiser. When he enters a recita- tion room, the teachers prepare for the worst. During the past year especially, he has endeared himself to all his fellow pupils by his un- faiimg sense of humor and his amus- ing responses. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Relay Team i Glee Club, Council Dance Committee 4 Jane Frances Ryan lack no skill in every art. Fun-loving Jane, one of the lively girls of our class, certainly has the boys of our school on her list. Her uood looks and pleasing nature have won her a host of admirers, both boys and girls. She is a good athlete and interested in many activities. Dramatic Club, Open Meeting, Councillor's Dance Committee, Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 4 Gene Weston Abar He made all countries where he came, his own. Gene is a new comer from Alton, N. H. He's short on temper, but long on bright remarks. His clari- net and his favorite sport, swim- ming, consume much of his abundant lung power. Band, Orchestra 4 Ida Ellen Holt A cheerful friend, like a sunny day, W ho sheds her brightness all around. A good sense of humor isn't al- ways an asset and Ida's has frequently got her into hot water. Playing the piano gives her much delight and she is adept at this art. Ida is a sym- pathetic person and has often taken our blues away. Evelyn Scott Clouet She was made for happy thoughts, For pleasant wit and laughter. In her calm, good-natured way. Eve has made many friends among us since she came here from New Haven . Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4 Class Motto Committee 3 Glee Club, French Club 4 Frances Selanda Yeaman Full of pep, easy to please, As carefree and gay as a March breeze. A valuable asset to her hockey and volleyball team is Frances. An en- thusiastic player is what ever}' team needs and her will to win is not easily broken. Interesting and full of pep, Frances has many friends. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3, 4 Mary Despene Svolis Quiet am I, but a friend to all. Mary is a studious little girl, one of those necessary cogs in the ma- chine that keeps our class going. She is a commercial student and has a wide circle of friends and this, com- bined with her good nature, make her an ideal associate. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Basketball 2, 3 French Club 3 Irene Nikitas i ho often lights melancholy with her merry jests. Irene has mastered the art of see- ing the humorous side of everything and as a result appears to have few worries. She is fond of giggling and it sometimes gets the best of her. She is, however, ever willing to listen to one's woes. Hockey 2 Basketball 2. 3. 4 44 Helena Margaret Philips A face o'erspread with friendliness. Helena, better known as Lee, is good company and often found with her crony, Evelyn. It is hard to find her about the high school as she is quiet and unobtrusive. We hear, though, that her time is well occu- pied out of school. Angeline Patricia Delmonico And slill the wonder grew That one small head Could carry all she kneiv. Angle, as she is known to her inti- mate friends, is one of the smallest girls in our class. She is always happy-go-lucky and always appears to be in a great hurry. She disap- pears so suddenly that you look around in amazement. Volleyball 2, 3 Basketball, Hockey, Dramatic Club, Orchestra, Band 2, 3, 4 Debating Club 3, 4 Muriel Welch There' s nothing so kindly as kindness. Muriel is another member of the club which has as its motto, Silence is Golden. Just because Muriel is quiet, it is no sign she is never prepared in her school work; in fact, it is just the opposite. Muriel spends much of her spare time in taking care of her smaller brothers and sisters. Evelyn Effie Sunne Vair she is and kind as she is fair. Evelyn, being sunny all the time, lives up to her name. She is very genial and has a pleasing personality. On Saturdays she may be found sell- ing Kresge's wares. Horseback rid- ing is her favorite outdoor recreation. Basketball 2, 3 Marion Ruth Defoe A sprightly maid with winning ways. Marion is a combination of many things. At times she is quiet and at other times she may be found in the center of a laughing group. She does well in her studies. Perhaps her versatility is the reason she has so many friends. Hulda Marguerita Kotka She must be known to be appreciated. Hulda, who is amicable and cheer- ful, spends much of her time skating or dancing. She is a good student and plays the piano well. Volleyball, Basketball, Hockey 2, 3, 4 Sports Referee 3 Charlotte Florence Hauler A happy soul am I. Charlotte, a cheerful and friendly girl, is quite an accomplished pianist. Her favorite diversion is skating, next to which comes dancing. She is a business course student and shows great skill as a typist. Glee Club 3 Junior-Senior Reception Committee Phyllis Lenz Bennett A pleasant girl of the quieter kind, In whom a depth of character you will find. Phyllis, with her blonde hair, brown eyes, and graceful carriage has doubtless caused more than one girl to be envious. But these are not her only assets, as she also has a very pleasant personality. Hockey 2 45 Mildred Ruth Webster Fan as a bright spring morning. Although Mildred is very quiet around school, we often hear about her peachy time at a dance. We understand that dancing is Mildred's favorite pastime. Because of Millie's fair countenance she has received much attention from the opposite sex. Hockey 2 Janet Patricia Martineau The only way to have a jriend is to be one. Dark, vivacious, and friendly, Janet is an athlete who should be well ap- preciated by the other members of her teams. Her interests are numer- ous, as she enjoys skating, swimming, and many other sports. Dramatic Club 2 Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3, 4 Dorothy Emma Gilbert True merit is like a river, The deeper it is, the less noise it makes. Dorothy, another of our diligent part-timers, assists Coach Amiott. Like some books, Dorothy must be studied again and again to determine her rather secluded contents. Her favorite pastime is the movies. Helvi Miriam Tastula The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed. Helvi is the happy-go-lucky type. She enjoys singing and has a nice soprano voice. One of our part- timers, she is very competent and a good student. She participated in every sport, but has no special pre- ference. Volleyball 2, 3 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club 4 Isabel Ella Demmon The secret of her heart was her constancy of purpose. Isabel never suffers the woe of solitude — her whistling is always a cheerful melodious companion. Her leisure summer hours are spent in gardening. Collecting poems is her favorite hobby. She has also tried her hand at writing them. Volleyball 2 Basketball 2, 3 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club Write-up Committee 4 Priscilla Mae Demmon A folly maid with winning ways. Priscilla has light brown hair and a very attractive smile. She is inter- ested in almost every school activity and is ver ' good in sports. She and her twin sister, Isabel, enjoy walking and often they may be found hiking over the countryside on a Saturday afternoon. Basketball 2 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Class Ring Committee 4 Esther Meldrum She ivas capable at imagining all, of arranging all, and of doing everything. Esther is what you might call swell ! She is always bubbling over with mirth and playing pranks. She is way up at the top in girls' sports. Maybe she will be a first rate referee someday. Volleyball 2 Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4 Referee Alice Elizabeth Sterlin Laughter and I hat e much in common. Here's a girl whom everyone likes. She has a sunny temperament which cannot help but reflect itself in all around her. Interested in many school activities and a good student, we know she will have a very suc- cessful life. Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3 Glee Club 3 Dramatic Club 4 46 Donald Francis O'Brien He was ever the best man in the field. Don is a new comer to our midst, hailing from Clinton. He made a great hit with the ladies as you can see by glancing at the list of Senior Notables. You can readily identify him by his distinctive blue sweater. Baseball 2 Football 3 Interclass Hockey 2, 3 Junior Prom Committee (CHnton High) Toivo Anseln Wilen The tvorld knoivs little of its greatest men. Toivo came from Connecticut and joined our class this year. Is he wel- come? We'll say he is. He is a jovial fellow and had no trouble in finding good companions. We did not see his name on the Honor Roll, but we know he is a good student. Sylvia Ruth Emerson As merry as the day is long. Sylvia is always jolly and by her winning manner she has gained many friends. Sylvia is a sports fan and a loyal supporter of all our school games. Studying takes a backseat when Sylvia wants to go to a dance or to the movies. Her favorite pastimes are swimming and skating. Hockey 2 Basketball 2, 3 Ellen Anne Marie Anderson Siveet, good, lovable, and true, A friend to everyone that she knew. Ellen excels in the art of listen- ing— at least in school. She is very quiet and unassuming. She finds diversion in popular songs, skating and dancing. Basketball, Hockey 2 Virginia Louise Ramgren She charms the sight and her merit wins the soul. Jenny is an excellent dancer and never lacks a partner. The question always arises — who is her latest? Jenny's side-kick is Milly Webster and you can usually find them to- gether. Hockey 2 Elizabeth Frances Watson A little girl with curly hair, A gentle mien, a quiet air. Optimistic, though quiet, Betty has always a friendly word for all.

The play is laid around an isolated country estate called Mystery Manor, which was thought to be haunted. Erma Lowrie, a young shopgirl, inherited Mystery Manor from her eccentric aunt, and according to the terms of the will, she must live there for one year. Erma is warned about a tiger said to haunt the house and is also told that a priceless jewel necklace stolen from an Indian tribe that worshipped tigers is in the house. A mystery woman staggers through the door and is about to tell Erma an important secret, when the lights go out and the woman vanishes. Arthur gives Erma his theories of the mystery, cast- ing suspicion on Yami. Later, suspicion is thrown on Macintosh who has disappeared. Erma and Arthur find a secret room in which they find Mac. They also learn how to find the jewels, which are hidden in a crystal bowl. Mac and the Mystery Woman, who has returned, lie in wait for the Tiger. Erma now leaves the secret room in which she has been trapped, with Yami and is about to take the jewels when Thomson appears, immediately followed by the Tiger. After locating the jewels, the Tiger and Thomson are about to leave when stopped by Macintosh. Arthur is exposed as the Tiger and taken away with his partner by Murphy, a local officer. Erma gives Yami the jewels and he returns the gift as a wed- ding present for Erma and Macintosh.

And yet our tongues betray us, our surcharged hearts imply That for so deep a feeling, words fail to satisfy. It matters not how humble the task that we must do. The mem'ry of thy teachings will surely lead us through. The years to come will find us upright, courageous, free; And, F. H. S., we'll realize we owe it all to thee. For thou hast taught that Courage and Honor conquer all ; By trusting in these precepts we know we ne'er can fall. With God beside us, guiding, your spirit shining clear, Success we'll strive for, ever, with will to persevere. 67 Back Row, L. to R. — Clarence Noah Amiott, Head Coach, Sultan, '35, Jackson, '35, Dustan, '35.

EXPERIMENT TO ILLUSTRATE THE THEORY OF STUDENTOLYSIS Required — 2 studes 1 excuse monitor 1 principal Method — Have one stude skip school, and the other stay home to attend his grand- father's funeral. Observation — First stude (18 years of age) borrows a dime and gets into the show on a kid's ticket. Second stude attends aforesaid funeral. Next day both studes go to the excuse monitor and both have forgotten notes. Monitor says studes must see the principal. First stude says he was sick. Second stude says, I had to attend my grandfather's funeral. Principal releases first stude telling him to bring a note, and to the second stude says, Aha! a very likely story. You expect me to believe the old story, eh? Take five . Conclusion — Truth is stranger than fiction and sessions go on forever. 75 SENIOR NOTABLES Atlihitio is Ed Nickerson A.

Irma Bovellan — He sure can. You know lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Two faces were close together. The frail hands caught Illig's horrified gaze — Good gosh! It was the face of his watch and the hands pointed to 12:30. He'd overslept. Noble came in late. Much laughter. Miss Dunn, I wish you wouldn't laugh at every silly thing. 76 M. Kendall — I think I have a cold or something in my head. G. Rahmberg — It's a cold. L. Bull — When a radio comedian is good, he may be very good; but when he is bad, somebody in the family insists on listening. F. Dustan — Of all magnets, I think a bed is the most powerful on Monday morning. On the way down to Washington, on the Hi-Y trip, the second car in which Leonard Landall rode, ran out of gas at 5:30 a. m. They drew up beside a filling- station, outside of which an antiquated fire engine was parked. They could see the proprietor inside, but were unable to awaken him, so they rang the fire siren to get results. They did. The fellow asleep was the town constable. In a few moments the fire chief, not Ed Wynn, came running up in his pajamas. The constable came out shouting, You're all pinched. They had rung the fire alarm. About that time, the other car came up and was pinched also. After numerous apologies and a secret conference in the filling-station, the prisoners, now meek and mild, were allowed to depart in peace. They thought for an entire week that the party was charged a $10.00 fine. While MacMullen, head scribe for the expedition, was taking notes in the Supreme Court Building, a secret service man asked him if he was a reporter. Some joke, eh? We thought so when we read his journal. Boyle and Whiston had a wrestling match one night in camp. The only fatalities were two pair of pajamas. The bout was refereed, given a decision, and stopped by the camp cop. When the fellows stayed out late, the penalty was to be locked out. But what use was it to try this, when every key in the camp fitted the lock.'' Dustan's interpretation of traffic lights: Green — Go. Yellow — Go. Red — Keep on going. We noticed that those who went on the Washington trip were avoided for a time until people were certain that they had not caught the measles. A goat ate all our other jokes And then began to run. I cannot stop, he croaks, I am so full of fun. 77 THE BILLBOARD •shac -p t Ni Vooe vV(TSo RF«sa,u«eLF f , Otis -b-oJ NOTICE Who SToLe NtV t f Ts THEMo THeV fll?F lMPoETfW T Ed N c c:e (esofi sPo CLASS T'ers.
