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.

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.

Robert Arthur Isabelle Guilt !j or not tiuilty.' Answer yes or no. We wonder if Robert's uncle appreciates what a drawing card his tall, dark, and handsome nephew makes when he officiates as soda-jerker in his drug store. Three years a drum-major, and member of a mili- tary regiment, Bob hopes to be a lawyer in time to come. Toivo Jakola Active natures are rarely melancJioly ; activity and melancholy arc inccmpattble. Toivo, or Timber as everyone knows him, is a diminutive but fiery young lad who is very capable of taking in everything from tennis to horseracing. Timber's dope on the right horse is more than oc- casionally correct. Baseball 3-4. Robert Emil Jarvi Haste makes waste. That Robert doesn't believe in the above adage is clearly evidenced by the manner in which he pilots his automobile. A skillful driver, he sure does love to break all the speed limits! He really ought to take the corners on two wheels, though! Donald Ellis Johnson Truth is always beyond reproach. A question-box incarnate, is Don, one of the best known boys in the class. Ever ready for fun, regard- less of whom it's on, he can also take the joke when it's on himself. 'What a conscientious striver after truth did he prove himself on the 'Write-Up Commit- tee! Orchestra 2-3-4, Relay Team, Glee Club 3, 'Write- Up Committee, Debating Club 4. Henry Kullervo Johnson Basil fulness is an ornament to youth. What a find in this modern world to discover a boy, mind you, a boy who is really bashful! Far from condemning his shyness, let us laud this quiet lad to the skies, but hope the future years will reme- dy his shyness somewhat. Glee Club 2, Dramatic Club 3. Adrienne Lucille Lavoie A siceet, obUninij, kindly so il. Although reserved in class, Adrienne's capacity for fun manifests itself in thorough enjoyment of the games played during her gym period. The cheering section at the football games would not be complete if Adrienne were not present. French Club 2, Dramatic Club 3-4. Annie Lazerowich yearn for knowledge. It does seem as if Annie ought to be satisfied by now. Although she came to America only a few years ago, she has mastered English better than many of us born in the U. S. A. But just total this as well, she converses in Polish, German, and Jewish! Class Color Committee 3. Jeanne Rita LeBlanc oil, to dance forever! Never, in all this world, would we have suspected shy little Jeanne of possessing such active ambition, for she wishes to become a famous dancer. How sin- cerely we hope that her dream may be fulfilled! In classes Jeanne is so quiet that we wonder if the teachers frighten her! June Eleanor Lomme Maiden of the smiling eyes. June's eyes always seem to have a smile in them. She is a very fashion-wise young person and is al- ways as neat as the proverbial pin. How generous you have always been, June, in lighting our dull days with your delightful dancing. Glee Club 3. Rita Margaret Lorion Yc licllrs, and yc flirts, And ye pert little things. Here is a problem for you to solve. How well could Rita express herself if she were in a contest which demanded that one should not use her eyes? Those great brown orbs are such an intricate part of Rita's expression that she doesn't need any mouth with which to talk. Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball 2-3.
