Philip Patrick Ashe Art is his virtue. Walk down Main Street any morning and you will find Phil, sometimes washing windows, or at other times, standing in one of them — not on exhibition by any chance, but placing on the glass his own works of art, in which branch he is remarkably efficient. Clinton Fredrick Barrett I am not by nature who I am by name. Clint strenuously objects to being labeled one of the Barretts of Wimpole Street, modestly stating that the life of a celebrity would not become him. Rather, he prefers to revel in work outside school and do about as he likes inside. Recall that Chem. class Jun- ior year? Russell Rawle Baum There is alivays hope in a man who actually and earnestly wor ks. My driver, no, my putter, caddy! Those are on- ly some of the commands that earnest, bespectacled kuss hears so often during the summer as he caddies at the Oak Hill Country Club; he was very, very busy during the recent State Open held there. Philip Charles Beauvais Youth, how may I retain thee.' Following an arduous week spent in checking birth dates, we are prepared to state that Phil is about the youngest member of the Senior Class, and does he glory in this distinction! However his youth did not prevent him from making a fine showing on our Re- lay Team. Councillor 2, Relay Team 3-4, Track Team, Dra- matic Club 4. Francis Joseph Belliveau If you didn't know it, learn it now. Loyal, honest, sincere, persevering are only a few of the adjectives which Francis' class-mates gladly apply to him. Not only his class-mates but also his teachers verify this statement, which should make you realize what a wealth of truth lies behind it. Mary Esther Baglio My tongue withiyi my lips I rein. For who talks much must talk in vain. Mary is approaching a friend. Let's listen in. Say, Smith, (she never uses first names), did you go to the movies last night? I did, I seldom miss a good one. Oh, I have the words to another popular song — , (Mary's hobby). Ba.sketball, Hockey 2, Glee Club 4. Phyllis Isabelle Batterson Enjoy the present smiling liour, and put it out of fortune's power. A lively, cheerful, friendly girl, Phyl has a con- soling habit of foretelling her intimate friends' futures, concluding with the words, Now I'm telling you, — . Take my word for it and don't worry! Dramatic Club 2-3. Marie Madeleine Bean O smile that glows with friendship. A studious, zealous secretary for the History de- partment, Madeleine's friendly attitude, willing under- standing, and instant sympathy for the difficulties of her friends, have made her a delightful acquaintance. Volleyball, Glee Club, French Club 2, Basketball, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Debating Club 3-4, French Club, Dance Committee. Dorothy Mildred Beaton There's mischief in this woman. Dot's keen, dark brown eyes reveal her peppy na- ture. We attributed to this young lady a great appre- ciation of good music but, horrors, we observe that she is active in the Glee Club! Now you try to unite that combination because it's just too much for us. Glee Club 3-4, Dramatic Club, Basketball 4. Dorothy Goldie Bever A modest miss is she. It certainly is true that the world knows little of it.s greatest people. We wonder how many of the class of '36 know that Dora is an accomplished guitar player whose splendid voice it is also a pleasure to listen to, especially when she sings in harmony with her sister? Glee Club 2-3.

ir Edmund Charles Allen Amicus )iU7nani i eneris. A friend of the human race. Edmund, better known as Minnie, is one of our hard working comrades. He can usually be found oc- cupying a seat on the meat chopping block in one of the West Fitchburg Family Markets. His ever-ready smile, like fly paper which gathers the winged insects, has obtained for him many lasting friendships which he justly deserves. Harry Sawyer Allen Otium cnm diynitate. Dignified leisure. Harry's idea of a pleasant afternoon is to sit in the Assembly Hall reading a detective story. A good many seats have had his six-foot frame upon them. When he prepares his work, however, we have glimpses of what he can do when he really settles down and tries. Robert Waldemar Anderson Let ! i)ur conscience be your unide. Andy's conscientious work has made him a worth- while student and a delight to his teachers, while his pleasantness and deep understanding have endeared him to his friends. He has never failed to do his best in everything and surely that is great praise for any lad. Garfield Manning Arthur am not to blame, for others chose my name. To Garfield it's amusing, but to the teachers it's a puzzle trying to figure out which name precedes the other. Due to his interest in experimenting with chem- icals, the Arthur household is often permeated with unpleasant odors from the resulting compounds. James Thomas Ashe Let me roam in Nature's wilderjiess. If when walking through the woods, you should chance to run into a very small person carrying a gun, don't think it's a dwarf from fairyland — it's only Jimmy out for game. His next choice of recreation is fishing, while dancing takes third place. Ethel May Abell like fun, so u'hy not hate somef We would gladly recommend Ethel as a proficient baby-tender and accomplished in the arts of sewing and cooking, to some hard-struggling young man. but for one difficulty — she dislikes setting a table! Perhaps he could manage that, though. If you wish to find her out of school hours, go to the Whalom Skating Rink — it's almost her permanent residence! Hockey 2, Basketball 3. Anna Esther Aho Eariiestness commands the respect of mankind. With halting gait and downcast eyes does sorrow- ful Anna go about doing her mistress' bidding. How sadly does she bemoan the fate of students who can- not remember when books are due! Nevertheless she. like the courier of a Czarina, must summon them be- fore the tribunal to render strict account. Stella Anastos With pearly teeth and raven hair. Christmas, June, did she give us piles of home- work! Yes, that's Stella, always worrying over her studies and emphasizing whatever she says by inter- jecting, Christmas. Incidentally we envy this curly- headed brunette who works, of all heavenly places, in a candy store! Basketball 1. Theresa Geneivie Antonelli A joke a day keeps the blues aicay. If you re looking for fun, page Theresa. There is never a dull moment with this small, mischievous Cleghorner around. Theresa likes to play pranks on her fellow classmates, and gets just as big a kick out of them as we do. Dorothy Edith Betty Attfield Books, books, where do you come from? With these words in her heart, we find Dot looking over some over-looked books, busy taking inventory as Miss Dunns secretary. England's gift to the men- folk is this brown-haired maiden, thoughtful, with a magnetic personality, and a determination to make good, which three attributes should net speedy re- sults!

Samuel Francis Belluardo He is a man of )iis oivn mtnd. It certainly enlivens a dry shorthand class to have Sam among those present. He is always ready to disagree with anyone over anything. Some think Sam is going to study law, but no one knows. It is often said that history will be made when Sam gives in. Clyde Joseph Bernier A man he seemed of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows. Bernie is a big, bashful boy with a big, bashful smile. He wends his way through life with an easy independence that will never hinder his progress. He certainly lives up to the standards of the Hi-Y Club of which he is an officer. Football 2-3. George Storrs Bingham Rhythm is my btisiness. Rhythm is what I sell. From a little boy, Bing has been interested in the theatre until now he has become President of our Dramatic Club! But he has entered upon a new field of diversion now and has interested himself in popular songs, jazz- bands, and fox trots. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Chairman Junior Prom Com- mittee, Assistant Manager of Basketball 3, Chairman of Joke Committee, The Boulder, Class Play 4. Remo John Bonifazi His eyes are flooded with laughter. Beneath those twinkling orbs there is hidden a clever mind which is ever on sentinel duty. Cheerful, friendly, and always ready to accommo- date, Remo's good marks have become a habit with him. How the squad enjoyed his singing in the club house at Crocker Field! Football 4. Leo Ephrem Bordeleau Men of few words are the Vest men. Leo did not participate in high school athletics though he starred for many St. Joseph teams, espe- cially in baseball and basketball. His serious mien and muscular figure stamp him as one to be feared in any profession. Clare Louise Blanchard Come on, now, ' ire a hitj clteer! Since Clare isn t eligible for the football .squad it- self, being a girl, she is content with playing the minor part of cheerleader. And does she do it efficiently! Hockey 2, Glee Club, Cheer Leader 2-3-4, Dra- matic Club 3-4, Councillor 4, Chairman of Junior Class Day Committee. Janet Ann Bourassa She to her friends doth companionship present. We are going to accuse Janet of an extraordinary interest in U. S. History because every fourth period she can be heard anxiously begging for answers to the questions, Did you have a test in History? What did he ask you? Hockey, Basketball 2. Mary Ann Bouvier 'Tis well to see her cheeks with blushes dressed. Ergo, it is always well to see Mary for the ruddy glow of her complexion is never absent. We are willing to agree that this is a sign of enthusiastic, sport-loving youth, for Mary can often be found with- in the walls of Crocker Field. Volleyball 2, Hockey. Basketball 2-3-4. Rita Margaret Brion YoH liave i merry lieart. Rita's ebony hair creates a striking appearance when set off by the brilliant red of which she is so fond. Her dancing eyes and laughing voice, as well as her scholastic ability and able secretarial work for Miss Matson, have done much to make her esteemed. Glee Club 2, Basketball 2-3-4, Dramatic Club 4. Betty Brown A radiant twinkle of the eye, A joyous smile as she passes by. Betty has so many likeable characteristics it is dif- ficult to describe them all. Her happy face and dash- ing smile spread joy into many hearts while her pleasing attire adds greatly to her attractiveness. Bet- ty is a regular patroness of all the Y.M.C.A. social functions. Volleyball, Dramatic Club, Councillor 2, Hockey 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Junior and Senior Reception.
