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

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

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. Her chief ambition was to beat the boys at the big debate, but she had to de- cline the opportunity because of lack of time. She is one of the three girls taking Physics. Basketball, Volleyball 2 Dramatic Club 2, 4 Debating Club 3, 4 French Club 4 Motto Committee Junior-Senior Reception Committee Write-up Committee Round Table Iva Gladys Adams As quiet as the water that flows over the rocks. Iva is a serious but fun-loving girl. She is always willing to help m any task. She is a good student, kind and thoughtful in everything she does. She loves good times and always is ready to search for them. Therefore, Iva is popular among her classmates. Hockey 2, 3 Basketball 2, 4 Myrtle Louise Schlott Of quiet and studious aspect is she. Myrtle, whose sweet and friendly nature has won her many friends, is interested in sports. She also spends profitable time studying. Her favorite pastime is dancing.
