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.

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.

Albert James Halliday Nttgae canorae. Melodiiis trifles. Since Jimmy came here from Panama, he has gath- ered many laurels, especially among the fairer sex. His worst fault is his desire to scrape the strings of a violin. Since he first started to play, three families have moved, no fooling. He has improved rapidly and now can play six out of e'ght notes correctly. Out- side of this menace he is a likeable fellow. Orchestra 3. Howard Pierce Haubrich He is well paid that is well satisfied. If being tall of stature, having an everlasting good humor and love of fun, and being always neat, are virtues, then Howard is a right virtuous fellow. He enthusiastically supports dances, sports, movies. Glee Club 4. Robert Hems For all may have, if they dare try. Bob is an active member of the musical organiza- tions at school. His splendid voice has made him a prominent officer of the Glee Club and a delight to his audience. Remember Bob as dashing Don Pedro, crooning a love-song at the 1935 Junior-Senior Re- ception? Orchestra 2. Glee Club 2-3-4, H. M. S. Pinafore 3, Track Team 4. Frank Everett Houghton We learn by askin; . We do earnestly wish that someone hadn't divulged the above stupendous fact to Frank'e. His quest for knowledge by way of the question and answer method has since been unceasing. But Frankie is a great asset to his friends for he knows where the easy-reading book reports are kept! Councillor 2. Robert Allan Inman Politeness costs nothing and gains everything. Bob is a gentleman, poet, student, and tennis play- er, who spends his spare time hunting in out-of-the- wav corners for those elusive ads which make the publication of the Red and Gray possible. Basketball, Tennis 2-3, Red and Gray Board 2-3-4, Class Colors 3. JVIary Olga Koutonen Salvo pudore. Without offense to modesty. Mostly conservative in all she does, we see the little imp of mischief peep forth as she fills some one's shoes with snow while skating, or ties clothes into knots while swimming. A very likeable girl, she participates willingly in everything she is asked to do. Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball 2-3-4. Aino Kaaren Laakso Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. For any detailed information upon the widely separated topics of cats or red-headed fellows may we refer you to Aino, who is a recognized authority upon these two subjects. It is not within our sphere, however, to state the why and wherefore on the lat- ter part! Dolores Clare LaFleur When modesty is not a virtue. Pretty soon we're going to scold! Here is another culprit who has been attempting to conceal from us the fact that she is a delightful piano player. We ad- mire modesty but not when it deprives us of the knowledge of class talent. Estelle Irene LaFleur Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie. How grateful we are to this sweet, reserved girl who never once refused to accommodate us, regard- less of how belated we were in our requests. Her ability to make the ivory keys talk was a four-year marvel to admiring pianists as well as to the lay folks. Orchestra 2-3-4. Rachel Delia Lahtinen Sport is tlie bloom and glow of perfect liealth. A basketball team? Then you must have Rachel whose height is only one of her many assets. She not only takes a keen interest in this branch of athletics but in all others which the school offers. Just glance at her list of activities! Hockey 2, Basketball 2-3-4.
