Arthur Edwin Talviainen The deed ptoies the man. Size does ni)t seem to handicap Flash when he plays basketball, for he holds his own with the best of them. He is quite adept in the art of swimming as his summer months are spent at a local swim- ming pool. He was the manager of our Junior relay team. Elias Samuel Halttunen Brevity is the soul oj wit. Elias, though one of the shyest boys in the class, especially when confronted by the opposite sex, is really a glib conversationalist and humorist when one gets acquainted with him. In all his classes, Elias manages to create a spirit of good feeling and humor through his own efforts and antics. Edmond Mailloux He is always in such perfect humor. Was he full of fun? Boy! When he started things, there was a rum- pus. Eddie also posted signs for the different theatres and had an usher's job at Shea's. Mr. Chalmers was quite fond of Eddie and often called him in for an interview. Walter Walfred Kandelin For some are horn to live and do great deeds. Very little has been heard from Walter during the past four years. He is cheerful and friendly to all those who have the good fortune to know him. He is interested in al- most ever)' sport, and is quite profi- cient in basketball, football, and base- ball. Erma Rachel Anderson The force of her own merit makes her way. Erma never makes herself conspicu- ous or loud. She loves to laugh — but never at the wrong time. She has a well controlled temper, a pleas- ant disposition, and is sympathetic and friendly towards all. One of her favorite winter diversions is skating.

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. Dramatic Club 2, 3 Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4 Elsie Eve Johnson Eternal sunshine settles on her head. 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.

He was cap- tain of our football team last fall, and one of our strong gridiron war- riors. If you don't believe it, ask a few of his opponents. Football called for only a small portion of his ability though, for he was also one of our best basketball players. Baseball 2, 3 Football 2, 3, 4 Basketball Fred Einard Salo Oj his stature, he was of great length And wonderfully active, and great of strength. Fred doesn't seem to care much for school work, but he is a great enthusiast in gym work. Thus, phy- sically, he has developed exception- ally well and has grown into a tall, strapping young man.

Lesli, or Les as he is known to his intimates, came to us from Ashby in his Junior year.
