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.

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

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
