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.

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.

Francis Joseph Duane Don't look beneath the exterior. Please, may we entreat you, observe the above caution, for the good-looking boyish features, and quiet demeanor hide a head so full of mischief that it has been the eighth wonder of the world to his classmates that Frannie can manage to appear so in- nocent. James Bernard Duane O mischief! tlion art swift to enter in the tlioiifihts of desperate men! Jimmy's nickname, Snubber, does not indicate that he snubs his classmates. He is one of the most talked- of boys about school, not because of scholarly abili- ties, but because he is always on hand when there is mischief in the air. Glee Club 2, Dramatic Club 2-4, Junior Relay Committee 3. Arnold Arthur Dupuis Take it apart, but put it back ayain. Down the corridor come two fellows, one tall and the other short. No, it isn't Mutt and Jeff, it's Euclide and Arnold. The dusky appearance of Arnold's countenance is due to changing the oil in the transniissi' n. Jess Edward Dwire Oh, beautiful, rainbow hues! Jess abhors conservative dress. Vivid, solid colors attract his eye, especially when looking at shirts, ties, sweaters, socks, and suspenders. You may call him Speed, or Flash, when referring to his driving but never when alluding to his physical movements. Relay Team 3, Dramatic Club, Open Meeting, Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4. Everett James Eastman A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. Here's the life and spine of a Math. Class or com- mittee meeting. In person, the self-styled Prince of the Royal Kodak Co., Inc. This student amazed us all on the last day of our Junior year by his manipulation of a needle and thread, but we should have been pre- pared for anything from this bowing Beau Brummel! Dramatic Club 2-3, 'Write-Up Committee 4. Constance Godbeer She mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth. And a delightful concoction Connie made of it! Her literary inclinations and her marked ability along that line won for her the position of Editor-in-Chief ' of the Red and Gray. Connie serious? Far from it! Open Meeting 2-3, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Junior- Senior Reception Committee 3, Red and Gray Board 3-4, Class Play 4. Irene Mary Gordon Endowed by Nature's hand. The little green-eyed monster often peeped out of many a girl's smiling eyes as she chanced to glance at the roseate complexion of classmate Irene, who serenely disregarded all beauty parlor advertisements and yet managed to maintain that much-talked of bloom of youth. Natalie Gough Something sterling that will stay When gold and silver fade away. Your troubles, if you have any, will vanish prompt- ly when Nat, our ray of sunshine, flashes her bright smile and betrays her dimples. One of Nat's most striking characteristics is her sense of fairness. Hockey, Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3-4, Field Day Committee 3, Dramatic Club 3-4, Glee Club 4. Eleanor Jeannette Griggs Altvays ready, always there. Always willing to do her share. She is a writer who delights in concocting mystery stories, which chill your very bones. Eleanor is cer- tain not to freeze in the coming winters for she spends her leisure time in making quilts. Volleyball 2, Bas- ketball 2-3, Class Motto 3, Dramatic Club 3-4. Charlotte Grimm Cheerfulness and good-will make labor light. Though her name belies it, Charlotte is neverthe- less a cheerful girl who craves action in some form or other. 'We have been told that her efforts in bicycle riding have netted swift results, in toto, her brother's bicycle has been broken twice. Dramatic Club 2, Bas- ketball, Volleyball, Hockey 2-3.
