Armas Onni Luoma The strong and sound mind is the mind that can embrace equally great things and small. Armas is a quiet but progressive lad and is Mr. Hubbard's able assist- ant. Not many boys are capable of doing this kind of double duty, so Armas can be accredited as being one of our exceptional scholars. Albert Joseph Boudreau Never thought or dream or jaltering Marred the promise of his youth. His actions outside of school are quiet. In school, his knowledge is shown by the correct answers he gives to the teachers' questions. He likes all sports and competes in them whenever an opportunity presents itself. Norma Janet Richardson Her eyes as stars of twilight fair. Like sunlight too, her golden hair. Norma is our angelic, blue-eyed, golden-haired sweetheart. She is a natural-born, intelligent pupil. Norma never takes school work seri- ously, but she manages to have it prepared at the right moment. She spends most of her leisure time at the movies.

Although Elsie is rather quiet, she is fun-loving and has won many friends with her kind nature. She has taken part in many school sports, in all of which she has played well. Volleyball 2 Basketball, Hockey 2, 3 Hervey Roland Brisson Patience achieves more than force. Hervey is a student in the com- mercial course. He is of the quieter type. Although he upheld our worthy class in the relay, he did not parti- cipate in many school activities. Relay Team 3 Lauri Leo Kangas Fearlessly he skims along; His hope is high and his limbs are strong. Lauri is a highly athletic lad who swings along with a suoreme grace of carriage. He excels in many sports, but principally basketball. In this, he has gained an enviable repu- tation in high school sport circles. Good in his studies as well, Lauri is well liked by all the pupils. Basketball 2, 3, 4 Constance Eloise Barker To know her is to love her. Connie is one who likes the busi- ness side of life. Often during the day we see her trotting up and down stairs with slips of paper in her hand. Connie kept that school girl figure by marshaling on the fourth floor. She has fancy for blonds, Hockev 2 Dramatic Club 2, 3 Junior Dance Committee Marshal Red and Gray Board 3, 4 Virginia Brunt Great minds, like heaven, are pleased in doing good. Ginny won first place in the Prize Speaking contest in her Sophomore year, but she does not need her plat- form eloquence to win friends. Enough said.
