l5 0 JLD n Ji) 5 Risto Michael Heikkinen Pleasure has been the business of my lije. Risto is one of those who believe in making themselves heard as well as seen. He always seems to be in good humor and is one of the best jokers in the school ; his pranks are well known to most of us. He works during his spare time at his brother's drug store. 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. He is popular with the gals as you can see when you glance at the Senior Notable list, or by his company. Basketball 2, 3, 4 Track 2, 3, 4 Captain, Relay 3, 4 Dramatic Club 3 Junior Christmas Dance Committee 3 Marjorie Ann Dempsey Like a bit of sunshine on a cloudy day, She u ill quickly shoo all your blues away. Marjie always greets us with a charming smile. One of our best pianists, she has often delighted us with selections, especially in gym! She intends to study at the Boston Conservatory of Music. Basketball 2 Dramatic Club 2 Class Dues Committee 3 Orchestra 4 Barbara Anne Hayes A rarer fiou er never grew. Barbie is a favorite with every- one, teachers and pupils alike. She surprised us all by eloping during the year and now she may be ad- dressed properly as Mrs. Leonard Johnson. You have our best wishes. Barbie, for perfect happiness always. 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

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

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. Phyllis, a somewhat quiet appear- ing girl, is interested in many things. Although lessons are secondary to her, she is not a poor student. She likes dancing particularly. 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. Beatrice Florence Lemoine As fair and jolly as she can be, A friend to you and a friend to me. X'hen this fair damsel is near, she brings joy to those who are sad. She has a ready smile for everyone and a kind word to be spoken in place. Don't you think she'll make a cute secretary .■' Volleyball 2, 3 Basketball, Hockey 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club 3, 4 Chairman, Sick Committee 4 Councillor 4 Alice Edna Lindstrom An open-hearted maiden, true and pure. Alice has won many honors for her skill in swimming and diving and has shown equal ability at bas- ketball. She is well liked for her good nature and friendliness.
