Norbert Joseph Fluet Never put off till tomorrow what can be done to-day. Norbert actually follows this rule and therefore one finds him always with his lessons well prepared. His French is practically infallible and he's ever ready to extend a helping hand to a bewildered comrade, a habit which is one of the nicest things about this boy. French Club 3. James Henry Flynn Our handsome hero. One of the prizes for the school's best all-around athletes goes to Jimmy, whose touchdowns and home- runs are real thrillers. Moreover, he isn't too hard to look at! Until recently Jim was attached to a very ap- petizing occupation — that of tossing flapjacks and hamburgers at Ken's Lunch. Guess that accounts for his pep! Football 2-3-4. Basketball. Baseball 2-3-4. Richard Foss There ain't no use in over-working one's self. Because he is so blond, Dick has been endowed with the nickname Whitey. He may seem languid when stretched out in his seat or when ambling along a corridor, but the Junior-Senior Relay Race will will- ingly bear testimony that he's a streak on a half- mile cinder track! Relay Team 3. Charles Tewksbury Gale The love of life thrills through my veins. Charley would make a dandy leader for a jazz band; there's popular music in that there soul o' his! 'We wonder how many times Charley's good-natured grin has rescued him from situations in which the predominant sentiment is, Tell it to the Judge. Paul Gaudet Our little bashful boy. Be careful now, girls! Don't all rush upon him at once! Do be a little considerate and allow him some air. This excessively bashful boy takes great delight in skating but, can you beat it, he dislikes dancing. Isn't he a prize, though? Eleanor Rosalie Irish A ivillini heart ynakes a irillinij hand. Would you like someone to help you in an organi- zation drive? Then may we suggest Eleanor, whose readiness to assist has been one of her trade-marks while in high school? Don't you recollect her face beaming above a bouquet of red poppies? Basketball 2. Hockey 2-4, Glee Club 3. Eloise Rosanne Irish Let me wake up where the lazy daisies r row. ■We haven't Mary and her little lamb at school but we have Eloise and her flowers. Surrounded by na- ture at home, she so hates to leave it that she brings it with her! Our only other worry is whether or not she is air- minded. That Lindy hat she wore Junior year would lead one to think so! Basketball 2, Hockey 2-4. Glee Club 3. Anna Bertha Jena Give me but a desk to sit at. A thorough-going business woman, fair Anna re- quires no mahogany furniture, no velvet drapes, and golden bell-cords, in order to work to the very best of her ability. This neat-appearing, popular young lady has been very instrumental in upholding the prestige of the commercial group through her fine scholastic record. Dramatic Club 2, Hockey, Basketball 2-3-4. Sylvia Elnora Johnson A comrade blythe and full of cheer. ' Where was I last night? Oh, at a dance, and not infrequently, we wager, Sylvia has a difficult task recalling which particular dance she went to! After all, isn't that almost too much to expect of any mortal girl who attends approximately four dances a week? Naimi Maria Jones Art is the music of the soul. Here is the dainty blond miss who is responsible for so much of the excellent art work displayed be- tween the covers of this book. Naimi's favorite sport is hiking which she often indulges in, accompanied by a group of her friends. Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Art Com.mittce 4, The Boulder.

I 'I Roger Albert Edman Great . the man who does more th(ni his duly. Did Roger stop playing in the band in order that he might attend the football games with a certain young lady? Roger is an enthusiastic tennis player and one of Miss Peabody's star German pupils who is always ready to read beyond the assigned lesson. Band 2-3, Orchestra 2-3-4, Dramatic Club 3, Ten- nis, Track Team, Glee Club 4. George Emil Engman Beware the fury of a patient man. George has the patience of a saint, and never once have we seen him lose his temper. This West- minsterite is a wizard when it comes to Math. While the rest of us are puzzling over some seemingly im- possible problem, he calmly gives the answer. As for Physics, well — ! Junior and Senior Reception 3, Band 3-4. James Fleming Ferguson Peace is the happy, natural state of man. But Fergy occasionally demonstrates that there is another state and, incidentally, proves that he's a real boy. His firm friendship is evidenced by the patience he exercises every noon in waiting for Mac- intosh before coming to school. Alphonse Robert Fiandaca Busy as a bee. Here is a busy lad who spends his spare time work- ing in a market. His study periods at school are de- voted to perusing his books diligently in preparation for a civil service examination, as Alphonse hopes to become a railway mail clerk. Herbert William Fisk Happiness consists in activity. Such is the constitution of his nature. Herby is perennially happy — at least he seems so by the ever-present smile on his face, and he is con- sistently craving for something — not homework — to keep him busy. We are quite envious of the work at which he is employed, that of exercising horses at the Fair grounds. Relay Team 3-4, Track Team 4. Mary Grace Hall feel as stupid, froyn nil you've said As if a ivindmill ichirled in my head. Does thi.s explain your attitude the night of the Public Debate when we were Juniors, Mary? You surely did get excited at the thought of the vaguest possibility of publicly delivering a speech. But what a stalwart pillar of the Girls' Debating Club you proved yourself! Hockey, Basketball, Glee Club. Debating 2. Claire Eloisc Hastings Ever happy, earnest, brif ht, A student following paths of right. We are here to issue warnings to erstwhile young gentlemen that they be cautious in framing any ques- tion to be put to Claire. Her answer is ever, 'Oh, no! Her favorite subjects are Spanish and drawing. Hockey, Basketball 2-3-4, Volleyball 2-3. Phyllis Mary Heap Those deep blue eyes smile constantly. As one of West Fitchburg's charming daughters, Phyl attends all the social functions in her section of the universe, but always manages, somehow or other, to get to school on time and also to do her assign- ments reqularly. Basketball, Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2. Virginia Elizabeth Herlihy High flights she had and wit as well And so her tongue was never still. Did you just hear that cheerful hello? And you don't know what it signifies? You certainly have not made the acquaintance of Virginia then, for you need only to meet her once in order to recognize her voice anywhere. Dramatic Club 2-4, Glee Club, Basketball 4. Concetta Josephine Imprescia would help others out of n fellow-feeling. Within the brain that consistently ticks under Con- nie's ebony locks there is but one anxiety. Until now she has failed to control her expression so that it won't betray her report-card marks. If we had this efficient part-time's marks, we wouldn't care what our faces told. Basketball, Volleyball 2-3-4, Hockey. Dramatic Club, Open Meeting 3.

Francis Andrew Girouard W here fore art thou now, Romeo.' It is not Fran's good looks nor yet his love for a maiden which won him his nickname of Romeo but, rather, the fact that he is perpetually in a fog. This tall gentleman has something in common with geniuses — his indecipherable handwriting! This is the characteristic of bank presidents, so Romeo's future is all mapped out. Paul Alexander Glenny The accomplishments make the man. Handsome Paul was the most versatile athlete in school. A triple-threat on the gridiron, a star cn the diamond, an ace on the cinders, a dead shot on the courts, and a wizard at billiards, Star-dust, the crooner of the football squad, won even greater fame on the ballroom floor. Baseball 2-3-4, Football, Relay Team 3-4, Track Team 4. Arthur Joseph Goudreau Happiness consists in beinrj perfectli satisfied icith what we have and haven't (jot. Small of stature, smiling, and with a sociable tem- perament, Arthur seems to possess all the virtues but, thank fortune, he has one redeeming vice — he likes to throw snowballs! It places him in a class with the rest of us and makes him a regular boy. George Wilbert Green Eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we die. George takes a few of his books with him every night so that they too may enjoy the bus ride to Waites Corner. As long as George is around, the gum factories will never fail, for George chews their product incessantly. Wilho Walter Hakala His bashful mind hinders his good intent. ■Wilho may appear to be modest to most of his classmates, but to know him personally is a treat: his ambition, his subtle humor, and his lasting friendship are eminent qualities in this future publisher. Winifred Alice Jones Imbued with conscientious thorouijhness. With knitting as her favorite hobby, and the at- tractions of the African black uppermost in her mind, Winnie expresses herself as wishing to become a foreign missionary. Perhaps we should have been a trifle more conservative, maybe she prefers the Malays to the Africans! Aune Sylvia Jundelin Often seen but seldom heard. If the scarcity of words made them valuable, just think what a price would be set on this damsel's syl- lables! If anyone should ask us we'd say that, at a $1000 a word, one wouldn't need to talk much in or- der to make quite a tidy sum of money. Louise Evelyn Kaddy When you see red hair — look out! Sad to relate, the caution in this case is unneces- sary because, though Louise has red hair, we freely believe she hasn't any temper. Poor Louise will never forget her Junior year when Miss Gifford made her sit with the boys for talking. Elvi Eligius Kantola Would'st hai-e me sinu or play.' Elvi can actually respond to the demands made in answer to the above question for she is known to her intimate friends as a walking radio whose most frequent emission of sound is of the accordion or human voice variety, minus the irritating details of static, advertising, et cetera. Christine Leonore Keaveny A Uhss tliat ne'er a heart could shun. Chris is a student who travels all the way from West Fitchburg nearly every day. We say nearly be- cause Chris manages to be absent at least once a week. Chewing gum is as much a part of her as Cyrano's nose was of him.
