1937 Z DDLs) sl Richard Addington Brigham A friend in need is a friend indeed. A jack of all trades, if ever there was one. He is always ready to go somewhere or do something at any hour of the morning or night. He is frequently seen in a local poolery. He is a stalwart bachelor. Relay 3. Edward Albert Brochu Character makes its own destiny. Edward is one of those persons who say nothing and know all. He is like a clam; you have to spueeze him to make him open. He plays the guitar, and is still undecided whether to become a cow- boy troubadour or a Segovia. John Bulcock deferred not 'til evening what morning should accomplish. John is an industrrous lad who often delivers groceries for Buck's market. While he is so occupied, his favorite pleasure is baseball which he pursues both as a physical exercise and a con- versational food. Baseball, Basketball 2. Frederick Hardy Butterfield ivill not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Freddy has always been a gentleman of the most cultured type. Aside from keeping his scholastic record high, he finds time to in- dulge in swimming, tennis, and bowling. Music is one of his greatest accomplishments. Orchestra 2, 3, Junior Prom Committee, Major Blows 3, Tennis, Band 2, 3, 4, Red and Gray Board 3, 4, Dramatic Club 4. Charlotte Lovina Blood Her pencil drew what e'er soul designed. The above quotation is very true of Charlotte, because she is so enthusiastic about drawing. No wonder, for all of us, who have seen the pictures she has made, know she is a real artist. She is one of our very attractive young ladies. Elsa Irene Bohnwagner She looks rather quiet but you can't, always go by appearances. Elsa, who seems rather quiet, certainly does her share of laugh- ing and talking, but only at the right time. She likes sewing, but prefers collecting stamps for her already large collection. Elsa plans to become an efficient nurse after graduation. Hockey, Coun- cillor 2, Dramatic Club, Round Table 4. Olive Rachel Boudreau Silence has many advantages. Olive, one of our part-timers, is one of those rare persons who enjoy practicing the violin. She has played in the school orchestra for four years. When Olive is not busy with her various tasks, she spends the time reading. Junior Prom Committee 3, Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Viola Butler That dimple that thy chin contains has beauty in its round, That never has been fathomed yet by myriad thoughts profound. Viola is a quiet but studious girl. Summer finds her busy swim- ming and winter, skating. Out of her many interests this year she enjoys her painting in the Free Hand Drawing Class. Dramatic Club 3, 4. Page 13

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

1937 Wallace Winans Cairns Talent is that which is a man's power. The drawing pencil and the paint box are the born companions; of Wallace. Decorative genius and a true artistic trait are cer- tainly not lacking in him. for he has won several prizes in the Christmas lighting contests of Fitchburg. Glee Club 3, 4. John Frank Canton Ambition has no rest! Johnny's one ambition is to own a fleet of Ford V-8's so he can see the world. During summer vacations he can be found peddling fruit in some New Hampshire town. Being a member of the I match you club, Johnny is always looking for new customers. Assistant Manager, Basketball 3. William Ralph Clinton We grant although he had much wit, he was very shy of using it. Bill's propinquity to the black bottles in Whelan's has prompted an ambition for a career as a druggist. Thus far his in- herent humor has cropped out only during history class. Robert Grant Conley A reasoning self-sufficing thing, An intellectual all in all. Bob is a blond and very exacting young man. striving for per- fection in all he undertakes. His ability is confirmed by the fact that he has always been on the honor roll, often special, and that he always dresses well and is a better than average athlete. Josephine Mary Buttafuoco Rather quiet, rather shy, But a twinkle in her eye. Josephine, although short of stature, manages to make herself seen. She is fond of all sports, but dancing heads the list. Wher- ever Josephine goes, her cheerful smile accompanies her. She easily blends school work and helpfulness around the house. Elizabeth Marion Carpenter She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought. Betty is an outwardly demure young lady whose popularity is evident in her own set. As a good student and an excellent hoop- ster, she adds her bit to our illustrious class. Betty's ambition is to become a technician in some lab. Basketball, Glee Club, Coun- cillor 2. Lois Eleanor Carrion How all her care was but to be fair, And all her task to be sweet. Our constant admiration for a distinct coat of tan and blue- black hair goes to Lois. Last summer Lois was fortunate to visit our southern states and the region of New Mexico. We don't find a special craving for books implanted in her. Audrey Mildred Chalifoux Tliy modesty's a candle to thy merit. Seen almost as seldom as heard is this tall, brown-eyed maid. Art constitutes her life-blood and being her chosen vocation, any- thing that requires the touch delicate receives her immediate atten- tion. Junior Color Committee 3, Red and Gray 3, 4. Page 14
