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.

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

Sinai Joseph Bordeleau Tke less people speak of their greatness The more we think of it. Sinai excelled in French, winning first prize in second year French during his Junior year. Quiet and unassuming, he didn't take part in many school activities, but was a diligent student. 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. Louise is one of the quieter mem- bers of our class. She has a very kindly disposition which shows it- self on many occasions and has helped her to gain many friends. 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, 4 Open Meeting 2, 3, 4 Marshal ; Round Table Write-up Committee 4 21
