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

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.

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
