Gordon Francis Keller speak out, then think. Gordon has a delightful habit of doing just this and how it amuses his classmates! A keen-minded boy and very interesting to converse with, Gordon is the best um-pah player in our orchestra and band. His hobby is making telescopes, but we can recall a day not long gone by when airplanes held sway. Red and Gray Board. Orchestra, Band 2-3-4, Junior and Senior Reception Committee 3. Richard Alton King A Jark-nf-all trtiiles. Richie is leading contestant for the ping-pong championship of the school. He also consumes many hours every day playing pool and billiards at the Y.M.C.A. Listed among the best students, he is a skilled model aircraft designer and is regarded as a leader in aquatic sports. Quite the man! Orchestra 2, Write-Up Committee 4. Niilo Ernest Kroch Chiefly the mould of a man's fortunes is in his hands. Niilo has a reputation for finishing whatever he at- tempts to do. Applying this statement to the imposing list of activities indulged in, you can deduce for your- self what a valuable classmate Niilo proved himself. Fairness, friendliness, and modesty have won him myriads of comrades. William Ernest Kurigcr Hunc caveto! Bervare of him .' H is good-looking features and curly hair have cap- tivated more than one fair heart in the past. In reality, however, Bill doesn't bother the qirls. He claims that they cost too much. Well, if Bill's paper route won't support the women now, what about the future? Oh, you're going to be a miser! Toivo William Lamsa Be careful! Don't frighten him. Right here we're going to call a halt! Here is an- other guilty individual for whom we demand con- viction and sentence to solitary confinement for fail- ure to make the entire class conscious of the fact that he is an essential part of it. Quiet and modest beyond description, Toivo nevertheless manages to get some exercise at Lowe playground. Gertrude Lempi Maki Pleasant compani shortens the miles. We believe that Gert is thoroughly informed upon a very enlightening topic, though we admit it might not be a popular one with the teachers, namely. The Art of Doing Bookkeeping During a History Class. A discourse by this young lady really should be worth your while! Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3, Hockey 2-3-4. Gens'e Theresa Maldarelli I'm as brii lil as I am small. Those who know Gensie find her always interest- ing and cheerful. Although one of her teachers has often threatened to throw her out of the room, we feel confident that her quiet, industrious nature will save her the embarrassment of undergoing a literal execu- tion of this punishment. Angela Helen Maravell Nothinij is impossible to a icillinti heart. Curly-haired, smiling Angie has been one of the most popular ushers at our games. Her willing as- sistance in decorating and serving has been of great help to the class. Angle's favorite subject is German and, desiring to be a teacher, she plans to enter State Teachers' College in the fall. Hockey. 'Volleyball 2, Dramatic Club 3-4, Write- Up Committee, Ring Committee 4. Mary Catherine Marble Smilinrj alioays with a never fadini serenity of countenance. Who dares to say that we haven't an elite group at our school? Whv, here is a young lady who trav- eled all the way from Arizona iust for the sake of attending our marvelous and world-famed high school! Nice going, eh? Helen Irene Matson 'Cause I's wicked, — is. I's mifihty wicked, anyhow. I can't help it. Oh gee, Helen is either disgusted or excited and, being never in a middle course, her feelinas are con- tinually being expressed by this phrase. That round, beaming face of hers may often be seen in close proximity to a tennis racquet. Hockey, Volleyball 2, Basketball 2-3.

Sointu Kaanta For a light heart iires long. Just where did Homer keep himself during his four years in high school? We presume that he preferred to commune with the great outdoors rather than to spend his time gayly disporting in a drawing-room. But then, we don't exactly blame him. Baseball 2, Football 2-3, Tennis 2-4, Track Team 3-4. Eli Peter Kahkola Earnestness is the soul of work. Eli is a conservative fellow whose name has long graced the honor roll. Books are not his only means of education, however, as travel also forms a large part. He doesn't believe in all work and no play, as the social events of Westminster will readily testify. Leo Jacob Kangas My Viiry good friend, the milkman says — Leo, our blond Romeo, has to travel quite a dis- tance to school, so we can't blame him if he doesn't put in his appearance every day. He has a real school-girl's complexion; no wonder he's so popular among them! But even their charms aren't sufficient to frighten away Wanderlust, his ever present temptation. Glee Club 3. Oiva Edwfn Karvonen You ought to haiw seen the big one that got away. Oiva strides along unmindful of the affairs of other men, and believes in covering a good deal of ground with as few steps as possible. He is most happy while spending his time hooking the aquatic species or endeavoring to run down the woodland inhabitants. Relay Team 3. John Katsaros Yon. laugh when he tells you his dreams, but be patient. The world's greatest geniuses were dreamers, the heading under which Katsy's friends place him. In his keen mind lie great ambitions for the future of radio. Did you ever see him looking into blank space? He was thinking of interesting questions to ask his Math, teacher! Barbara Louise Lovejoy Fler lungs are very sensible, for everything makes her laugh. Lovey is part of that famous lolly-pop gang which attends all the track meets; she is always laughing or smiling at something, is easy to get along with, and excels as a hostess at many enjoyable parties. Dramatic Club 3, Glee Club 3-4. Muriel Dorothy Lynde am no orator as Brutus was, I only talk right on. Muriel usually greets you with, Got something to tell ya. This doesn't keep you in suspense because you know that the something is either about the night before or the new boy friend. To Squirrel, collecting china dogs is more fun than doing homework. Hockey 2. Basketball, 'Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Junior Reception Committee 3, Debating Club, Glee Club 3-4. Helen Carolyn JVIacCracken Little girl; you're having a busy time. Helen's interests range from the newspaper busi- ness, for more reasons than one, to the novelty of soap sculpturing, and thence to bicycle riding, bas- ketball, and field hockey. And her oral reports testify to her great delight in talking! Councillor 2 Hockey, Volleyball, Dramatic Club 2-3, Basketball 2-3-4, Class Color Committee 3. Frances Elizabeth McCarthy A merry maid is she. This fleet-footed maiden came to us originally from Portland, Maine, but is now escorted about by the South Side Brigade. Her pleasing personality, con- tagious smile, and definite social inclinations speedily made her many friends. Basketball, Dramatic Club, Joke Committee The Boulder, Class Play, Open Meeting 4. Dorothy Mavis McCormack Work well done will always aid one. Polite and friendly, Dot takes life a little more seriously than most of us. Her efficiency as a secre- tary has duly proved to us that the time spent in the commercial course has been of the utmost value to this unassuming girl. Hockey 2.

Arthur James Lanides I am an honest representative of my race. Art, the proud possessor of a tough beard which he occasionally neglects to shave after a hard day, proved himself invaluable at the Crocker Field Day exhibition of 1935. It was due to his splendid efforts that our class was able to introduce into the parade the novel feature of a Grecian chariot. Football, Basketball 2, Relay Team 3. Fernand Robert Lareau Napoleon tvas small, too, but look what he did. Curly would have been one of the school's best athletes had he weighed more. His form on the diving- board and his speed on the ice may yet gain him some attention at B. U. where he intends to matric- ulate. This lively lad was also the popular President of our French Club this year. Dramatic Club 2, Class Color Committee 3, French Club 4. Robert William Lassell slinll hurst mi very lunys. We shouldn't wonder if Bob did that very thing for his vigorous sounding of taps on Field and Me- morial Days must soon have its effect. A natty ap- pearing member of the band and orchestra. Bob daily risks his life attending school. Don't blame the car though — we think it's his driving! Band 2-3-4. Pat Angelo Latorra Man was created to support himself. Pat is one of those fellows who let their sports come second to work. Last summer this clever athlete piled up quite a roll of greenbacks and he put all of it into a bank! Imagine that! Pat will surely be a pros- perous business man before long. Football, Baseball 2-3-4, Basketball 3. Geoffrey Lawrence A man of talent and rvisdom. A bally old chap is our Lord Jeff. The game of cricket always has a few new rules when he bats, and v hile saying, May the best team win, he is careful to choose that side! His breezy manners and witty replies make him a well-known figure in the school. 1 Thelma Irene Melanson A friend is, as it were, a second self. Thelma certainly has her likes and dislikes. Main- ly she loves hot dogs and hates history. Summer evenings are spent by her in the company of her side-kick, Lizzie, at the 'Whalom Roller Skating Rink. Helen Frances Moline Chatter helps the world go round. Poor little Helen is due now to have her private affairs peered into. Do you know what two things she's noted for? An inclination to talk and constancy to a graduate of 1935. We hope she won't be too annoyed at our divulging the latter — a well-concealed fact, by the way! Katherine Frances Morand In me is Nature's soothinij lullaby. In our midst is one of the most delightful song birds we have been permitted to listen to within the portals of a school. Katherine has a soft, rich, throaty voice, which, time allowing, she would gladly share with us. This auburn-haired future opera star has a mild temperament, too! Doris NavLn Beware, I may yet do something sensational. Good heavens! Doris has been reading those blood- curdling detective stories again. Now honestly, some- thing's got to be done about it. In the summer time Doris practically lives in her bathing suit for she is a very good swimmer and doesn't intend to waste a minute of its enjoyment. Basketball 2. Barbara Winifred Neal Corridors were made to walk in, not for little girls to talk in. Barb's delightful chatter still echoes in the corridors of F.H.S. This active miss is deeply interested in the Rainbow and various organizations of the Rollstone Church and loyally supports all school activities. Barbara's gracefulness in gym is the envy of her classmates. Basketball 2, Dramatic Club 2-3-4, Glee Club 4.
