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.

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.

Robert Joseph Desros'ers Be silevt and safe; silence nevei- betrays you. Much to the disappointment of his classmates, Bob followed this wise rule too literally. It made us curious to know whether (or not) his previous Alma Mater at Lowell turned out many such reserved chaps. However, Bob, your silence was your only fault, if fault it was. Gautauno Anthony DiBenedetto W}iat's in a name? Guy boasted the longest name of any football play- er on the team, but that did not burden him at all. Four Brookline toughs tried to wipe out Dibenny while letting their ball-carrier go around his end, but the newspapers the next day reported a seven yard loss. Guy was a little bit tougher! Baseball 2-3. Football 2-3-4. Joseph Ellis Dignam Skilled in sport and pastime. Did you hear that Joe can translate German while in the process of reading the original script? This remarkable discovery was made in one of our second- year German classes and poor Joe has been mightily embarrassed ever since, but it never effected his foot- ball! Football 2-3-4, Relay Team 3-4. Bernard Louis DeNatale Aptat se pufinae. He prepares for the contest. Success comes in cans, which Bernie states is the reason he drives his car. As befitting all quiet persons with infectious smiles, Bernie has a hobby. To him there is no sport that can compare with baseball, and he is well up among the leaders when it comes to heaving the little white pill. Ba.seball 2. Roger Congram Dole My name is Dole, — y ot Doyle. Roger's favorite words since he got his license are, Where is there a dance tonight? No step is too intricate for this flaming youth. Roger could easily qualify as a judge of the nation's leading dance bands, and what latest song hit can't he sing? r Annette Alpheda Garneau Tlie world's greatest riddle — a icomati. We would like to take this opporlunity to tell the world in general of the difficult time this pleas ing bit of femininity has given us. In an attempt to ferret out her secret habits we have employed many people whom we considered good detectives but Annette persistently defied detection. That's the woman of it. Basketball 3. Grace Evelyn Gaudet Merrily, merrily, shall I live. One must be acquainted with Grace before learning to appreciate her rather dry, subtle, humor, her agree- ableness, and her gift of friendly co-operation and understanding. Though her demure appearance would never lead one to suspect it, her twinkling brown eyes betray her love of wholesome fun. Hockey 2, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Class Ring Com- mittee. Gwendolyn Gay Live to love and to laugh. Gwen, as drum-major of the F. H. S. band, at- tracted as much attention at the foo.ball games as the team itself. A baton would almost talk for this come- ly lass, and why not? Gwen is a most capable piano player and somewhat the belle of the class. Dramatic Club 2-3-4 Christmas Party 3, Glee Club 4. Loretta Marie Gendron My soul lies buried in music's art. When we looked this young lady up, we first dis- covered that her favorite sport is tennis and that her eyes sparkle when she hits the ball over the net. Then guess what we unearthed! She plays the piano, the harp, and the mandolin! Just imagine that! Basketball, Hockey 2. Rita Mary Gilmartin A quiet visaye covers a multitude of things. There is a mischievous and fun-loving spirit hidden beneath Rita's demure exterior. She likes water whether in liquid or solid form, and spends much of her leisure time swimming and skating. Whenever you're with Rita, you never fail to hear her ask, What time is it? Basketball 3, Glee Club 4.
