1937 Dante Paul Arcangeli Drink the pure pleasure of the rural life. Sub is another Westminster lad who seems to hold a hearty dis- like for girls. Most of his time there in the country is spent either hunting or fishing — but rarely at home with a book. Carroll Everett Archibald know it is a sin for me to sit and grin. Archie is one of those happy-go-lucky boys usually to be seen walking about school with nothing much on his mind. At least he never thinks about his studies. From what we hear he is quite an accomplished tap dancer and singer. Abbott Aronoff Where is my wandering girl tonight? Abbott has the notorious reputation of being the high school's biggest flirt, but this is not to be taken seriously; for that primarily means his dear friends, the cows, whom he cheers up during sum- mer months while riding behind the truck. William Joseph Bean A poor excuse is better than none. The cutest boy in high school is also the best excuse maker. If you lack this ability, call on Bill and he will gladly put it over for you. Bill is also one of Miss Haskin's regular visitors and has spent many an hour in the assembly hall discussing the topics of the day. Assistant Manager, Basketball 3, Virginia Theresa Andreucci Carefree as the wind am I. Virginia, with her charming way, has won a host of friends, especially among commercial students. When skating season comes you will find this petite member of our class at Coggshall, gliding smoothly over the ice, or over the equally smooth B. F. Gym floor. Claire Paulette Aubuchon A maiden petite with charms so sweet. Claire is one of the many girls whose following is comprised largely of boys. In a beauty contest Claire could give anyone a battle. One of her greatest aids in finding friends is her humor which is quick and very witty. French Club 2, 3, 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Glee Club 3, 4, Dramatic Club, Class Prophecy Committee, Senior Play, Prize-speaking Contest 4. Louise Adeline Babineau Honesty is the best policy. Louise came to us from Concord during our Junior year, and has won a warm place in the hearts of all her classmates. The per- sistent manner in which she attacks her work promises her rapid advancement in the business world. Dramatic Club, French Club 4. Lorraine Eunice Barbour Her luxuriant hair — it was like the sweep of a swift wing in visions. Lorraine, one of our most talented young ladies, is an accom- plished pianist, and has assisted in many school affairs. She also excels in the art of the interpretive dance, yet she finds time to be a supporter of our school sports, especially football.

1937 Richard Joseph Abare A youth, light-hearted and content. Richard is a lad who is constantly found in the company of the fair sex. He does not believe in the saying, Silence best speaks the mind,'' and is found talking many times without permission. He comes from Ashburnham and generally has his lessons well prepared. Aarne Aho He's a man to make his way. Aarne is one of the larger members of our class who causes the teachers little trouble. Very taciturn, he seldom has much to say. It is customary, however, to see him on the Walton Street courts during his leisure time, proving himself an able match for any ten- nis opponent. George Louis Alario A proper man, as one shall ever see in a summer's day. George is one of our chaps who speaks little, yet is aware of everything going on. He is like any average youth, who believes in studying, but not too much. His friends are found among the boys, who consider him a good pal. James Theodore Altieri He who sings frightens away his ills. Jimmie is no exception to the rule that singing and happiness travel together, spreading their beneficial influence on mankind. We can never forget his renderings of O Sole Mio in grammar school days. Here s to Jimmie, the Caruso of the class of '37. Glee Club 3, 4. Marjorie Mae Abar She's a jolly all around good lass. Margie, although her lithe form suggests an active sports life, leans quite to the opposite in her sincere enjoyment of Vergil, English, and politics — mostly when confronted with Mr. Dooling. Despite her intellectual yearnings, Margie is always eager to join a merry group. Glee Club 2, French Club, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Round Table, Write-up Committee 4. Mary Irene Abell The better known, the greater is her worth appreciated. Height doesn't stunt Irene's progress; she belongs to the small percentage who intend to continue their education at some Busi- ness College, and has even secured a driving license. It is an enigma how she manages to see above the steering wheel. Basket- ball 2, 4, Hockey 2, 3, 4, Dramatic Club, Glee Club 3. 4. Reader's Guild 4. Ulrika Bray Adams But 0! she dances such a way. Stepping sprightly, tripping lightly, that's Ricky! With her lirhe body and fleeting steps, timed to the dance, she entrances her audience. Her favorite study this year is sewing — maybe that ac- counts for her good taste in clothes. Basketball 3, 4, Dramatic Club, Glee Club 3, Round Table 4. Helen Suzanne Ahola None knew her but to love her None named her but to praise. Helen is the cute product of Hyde Park High. Boston, now of F. H. S. In her short sojourn with us we have discovered that she seldom misses the honor roll, is fond of knitting, drives a car ex- ceedingly well, and lives near the Townsend line. Page 10

1937 Gordon Gilpin Bennett A nice unparticular man. Gordon is one of those lucky boys who enjoy riding to school :n a coast to coast bus from Waites Corner. He'd much rather spend his time swimming or skating at Brick Mill than delving in- to a school book. George John Bicoulis As quiet as silent clouds drifting across a mellow moon — hiding your real virtues. George is a modest young man. but nevertheless, we have found out that he is quite a shark in drawing. His spare time is spent at his father's store, juggling sodas and mixing sundaes. One thing we are sure of, he will never be arrested for speeding. Carl William Boring For manners are not idle, but the fruit of loyal nature, and of noble mind. Neat, precise, industrious with a keen business instinct, which has been invaluable to the Red and Gray, Carl is the ideal com- mercial student personified. Of Scandinavian locks and eyes, he is also a Lothario, striving to please! Red and Gray 2. 3, 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Assistant Advertising Manager 2, 3, Adver- tising Manager 4, Treasurer C. M. I. P. A. 3, 4. Ralph Leo Boyce Work — Work — Work — my labor never lags. Ralph is one of our most ambitious members, diligently attending tc studies, editing the Hi-Y News, as well as working outside, and occasionally even stepping out. His humor and decided ability along dramatic lines have made him a most welcome fixture of our class. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Relay Team 3, Junior-Senior Recep- tion Committee, Round Table, Class Prophecy, Class Play 4. May Rosalie Bedard An open-hearted maiden, true and pure. May's friendliness and good sense of humor have made her a favorite among her many friends. She isn't very fond of the serious side of school. She enjoys the movies, and patronizes one of the many theaters whenever possible. Louise Belliveau A merry girl with a gentle smile. Louise makes up for her size by her high spirits. Roller skating is tops for her and during the summer months, she can be found at Whalom, skating to her heart's content. Her hobby is knowing the names of as many orchestras as possible. Eleanor Isabelle Betts Jolly, peppy, athletic too. Mr. and Mrs. Betts did a wise thing when they moved from Eastport, Maine, to Fitchburg. There would always have been a gap somewhere if Betsy had not come to fill it. You ought to see her doing the polka in gym class. Ann Bicoules Thou art small, but thou Shalt grow. Although Ann brags about her distaste for studies, she is a fair student. We suspect Ann's mother of having placed thimbles in her cheeks when a baby for she has an irresistable pair of dimples. Ann has no definite plans for the future. Hockey, Volleyball, Basketball 2. Page 12
