James Bernard Connors I'm a biy man, now. Concerning quiet, dignified Jimmy we have gath- ered some rather startling data. His friends claim that his increased rate of speed is due to the fact that he has now reached the age when cigarettes and girls are the objects of his affections and he finds it necessary to walk a little faster in search of them! Dramatic Club 4. Harold Chamberlain Corkum know when enough's enougli. Harold has learned one of the most valuable les- sons which any of us can ever hope to acquire, and has learned it early in life. He knows how to be witty, to have some fun, but he knows when to stop! We hear he has collected some very interesting curiosities. Football 2-3. Robert Joseph Cote Since all allow that manner makes the man. Here is a rarity for you! But, just a moment. He is not on sale to the highest bidder nor is he to be placed on a marble pedestal in a museum — at least, not yet. Why? Because he is a perfect gentleman and we want him! John Edward Coulter From a single Instance you may infer the whole. John, always a fanatical student, can not under- stand why the school has Ancient Misery on its sub- ject list. He says he doesn't like misery of any kind, and moreover, he gets plenty of it in U. S., so why delve into the dark pages of the past? Elmer Lester Cramer Where's Elmer f Elmer is one of the staunchest supporters of the Flat A. C. and he is also active in the Y. M. C. A. His hobbies depend on the season, or, in other words, skating and basketball in winter, baseball in the spring, though these are not his only interests. Football 2-3-4. Mary Rita Dooley Her laugh is such a contagious thing. If everyone contributed as much to high school as Mary has, not alone by her willing efforts in enter- taining, but also by her personal attitude toward school in general, and toward helping her friends in particular, we would indeed live in Utopia. Volleyball 2, Hockey 2-3, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Basketball 2-4, Field Day Committee 3, Glee Club, Joke Committee 4, Class Play, Prize Speaking 4. Virginia Eleanor Drago Sunsliine and humor all the world over. Our first recollection of this future nurse was as a small, tidy person who, in a kind, gentle voice, was offering her services to one of her classmates when- ever the latter should have need of them. Would not this instance alone indicate that she has one of the pritne requisites for success in her chosen profession? Hockey, Basketball, Glee Club 2. Isabel Armour Draper It is her joy to work and to give to others. In bonny Scotland, Isabel, kind, friendly, and above all else interested in seeing justice done to everyone, has left those traits which we laughingly connect with a Scottish origin. Some one suggested we mention that Isabel can play her father's bag-pipes! Annette Jeanne Duval Never idle a moment, but tlirifty and thoughtful of others. Annette is quite adept at wielding a needle and her accomplishments in the field of sewing excite much complimentary criticism from her student friends. Just to prove to you what an exceptional individual she is, may we say that Annette enjoys church-going. French Club 2. Dorothy Helen Pales Better tlian the average. Dot accomplished this year something that most of us would find difficult, for she won a prize in the contest sponsored by the Convention of Sealers of Weights and Measures. Junior Prom Committee 3, Dramatic Club, Debating Club 3-4, Glee Club 4.

Peter John Celona Next to faith in God, is faith in work. Peter was not too diligent a worker in school but outside he was frequently to be seen driving a prod- uce truck. As we hear, he hopes to become a suc- cessful business man. He may believe that it's best to gain experience in one's work rather than dabble in the romance languages. Football 2-3. Vincent Paul Celuzza An athlete true in heart, though not in play. No matter how early or how late a practice session of our athletic teams was being held, Vinie was one spectator who was sure to be on the scene. We're ready to bet that he knows as much, if not more, about the football plays than the team itself does. Ernest Andre Charron He'll dance to the end — and beyond! Much interested in dancing, Turk has a morbid desire to linger after the ball is over and sentimentally admire the decorations. His membership in Glee Club plus his good singing voice obtained for him the role of a sailor in H.M.S. Pinafore when we were Juniors. That was some per- formance! Glee Club 3. Samuel John Chicone The longer he lives, the stronger he grows. What was that? Did I he ar you say that you wished to transfer the Rollstone boulder back to its original position? Then we have just the man for you. Sam has more reserve energy per square inch than any other boy in school, and we're even willing to stake money on it! Football 2-3-4. Maurice Fredrick Cleveland He has his particular liabits. Zoom! That was Buster and his Ford just moseying along. You should see him when he's in a hurry! Bus bolsters the line beautifully, is a star guard in football, and hurls hot, whistling pucks in hockey. Many an evening after practice has the clubhouse rung with his hearty laugh. Baseball 2-3-4, Football 3-4. Agnes Young Cunningham Her whisper is a lieavenly tliiiig. There are low voices and high voices, raucous voices and sweet voices, but here is a girl who has scarcely any voice at all! She never speaks except in a barely audible whisper. Stage fright? No. She's just modest, unassuming, and altogether delightful. Lillian Mary Deloge Sensitive, swift to resent, but as swift in atoning for error. Sensitive, yet merry; wise, yet not over anxious for knowledge, is Lillian. She has a mischievous nature and loves a good time. Just think! 'Midst this hectic program she manages to find spare time to work! Alice Yvonne Deslauriers Life's so short, why bother? This daring young damsel seems to have a pet aversion for rules and is tremendously fond of taking a chance. We'd like to remind Alice that the law of gravity has something to do with keeping her two feet under her at the Whalom Skating Rink and we wouldn't advise her to disregard it too completely. Glee Club 4. Mtiry Sophia Dicker III her friendship there is nothing insincere. If we applied the proverb, Si'ence is golden, to all the members of our class who rightly deserved it, just think of the risk we'd run. Why? Because the U. S. is off the gold standard and look at all the gold we'd be coining! Basketball 2. Marie Gertrude Dobeck A traveler, like a good book, is always interesting. Traveling seems to be Marie's hobby for she has spent her vacations doing just that. One summer was spent out West; another, in Canada. Being a West- minsterite, she must even travel to come to school. Don't roam too far, Marie.

Andre Arthurnos Croteau Aequo animo. With a tranquil 7nind. Andre is one of our fellow-students who does not mix easily with the others. He makes friends readily, 'tis true, but does not thrust himself upon them. He applied himself consistently to his studies but has had little to do with the school-at-Iarge. Roland Alfred Croteau Time, ichere art thou' Rollie, like many more of us, was ever seeking after that elusive tempter, Time, but in vain. He declared that this failure was the cause of his not going out for many school activities. However, in his Sopho- more year, he proved himself a baton-twirler of no mean ability. Drum Major 2. Harold Joseph Daigle Sho Marte. By liis own strenuth. Harold, although a victim of one of the most treacherous diseases known, has, by his own strength, risen in the esteem of his comrades. Always cheer- ful, he has done much, through his persevering spirit, to make the classroom just a little brighter than it would ordinarily seem. Keep it up, Harold, we're all with you! Glee Club 3-4. Gerald Fredrick Delisle Parlez-vous, francais. Mademoiselle ? Gerry is an amiable youth who delights in speaking French to strange girls. Just what he will do in his future life he doesn't quite know but says he is going to have a good time doing it. And who can doubt him? Football 2-3-4. Kenneth Linus Delphia One more, most welcome, makes our numbers more. Did you ever hear Kenneth talk about where he used to go to school? It's quite a favorite theme of his, but one day we inadvertently discovered that the place was a one-horse town, not half the size of Fitchburg. And did Kennie take a razzing! Football 2-3-4, Basketball 3-4. Geraldine Elizabeth Faley She relishes a joke and delights in a pun. A huge Shepherd dog is the center of attractions for studious Jerry who also has a great liking for the piano and ice-skating. Always looking for fun, she is more fortunate than many of us since she so often succeeds in finding it. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2, Basketball, Dra- matic Club, Class Motto 3. Edith Rose Fisher Climbinu after knowledfje infinite. It's dreadful to betray people but this is on the order of a self-betrayal — Edith talks in her sleep! We might wonder if it's her retaliation for being extreme- ly close-mouthed all day. Edith takes a great inter- est in sports and acts as Mr. Amiott's secretary at Crocker Field, 'Write-Up Committee 4. Roberta Washburn Flaherty Beauteous, slie shines among the rest; tall, slender, straight, with all the Graces blest. 'We don't ordinarily associate Bobbie with arguing, but we've decided that she was created for the simple purpose of refuting the old adage that Beauty and Brains are never combined. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Open Meeting, Motto Com- mittee, Councillor 3, Red and Gray Board 3-4. Evelyn AUce Flanders The old-fashioned girl is best. Dignified, mannerly, and with the air of a well- bred young lady, Evelyn is a striking contrast to many of our boisterous moderns. Yet she is by no means behind the times and can deliver on de mand all the latest slang expressions. Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3, Hockey, Dramatic Club 3, Write-Up Committee 4. Fleurange Marguerite Gagne Her laughter has a clearer ring Than all the bubbling of a spring. Happy-go-lucky by nature and with a reputation for being a dandy entertainer socially, Fleurange confesses that her main interests center about sewing and reading. She can very often be found in her brother's store in Leominster. Glee Club 4.
