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

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 Francis Joseph Cormier A man must devote some of his time to other things than study. Francis is a pleasant, well-met fellow, liked by all who know him. He is a good dancer, and he also likes to play golf, which he enjoys the most of all sports. Francis hasn't, as yet, decided what he intends to do. Wilfred Louis Cravedi Had a tongue at will And yet was never loud. Probably the antithesis of his mother's expectations in scholar- ly ways but nevertheless a welcome to the class of '37. He spends a great deal of his time out of school in delivering groceries for Cravedi's market which shows that his life is not all for naught. Roland Anthony Croteau Men of few words are the best men. Roland is known throughout the school as an excellent baseball player. His ability has saved many a game for Fitchburg High. Hs is captain of the team this year. Roland finds life worth while, en- joys it, and helps to make it more pleasant. Baseball 2, 3. James Joseph Devine If you would rule the world quietly, you must keep it amused. Jimmy is the nervous and easily excitable type that, when un- wound, is enjoyed by every one. His spare moments are spent setting up at the bowling alleys, and practising ping-pong at the . Jimmy intends to take up mechanical work at some trade school. Dramatic Club 2, Glee Club 4. Doris Yvette Chalifoux Her pure simplicity is pleasing to all. Dark-eyed Doris dotes on walks, and whether her thoughts are about her or a thousand miles away, we do not know. Doris has made no definite plans yet as to the future. During her high school days her cousin was her constant chum. Barbara Winthrop Chasteney Joy rises in me like a summer's morn. Bobby is a friend to all. She has won great applause in her portrayals of colored servants. She readily joins all the fun in which her friends indulge. Because of her interest in outside activi- ties, Bobby enjoys cheering for her Alma Mater at Crocker Field. Dramatic Club, Glee Club 3, Reader's Guild 4. Davida Mary Christian Vain pleasures I abhor. It seems that Davida is always on some championship team and justly she may be called the best all around girl athlete of the school. Her summer address is the Pearl Street swimming pool, where she excels as a diver. Volleyball, Basketball 2, 3, Hockey 2, 4. Barbara Elizabeth Connors She's a regular girl in every way. Barbara is perhaps the best example of an all around girl to be found in our class. Enthusiastic about sports, both as a participant and a spectator, she also excels in her studies. For lessons in harmonious living, seek this great exponent of the abundant life. Hockey 2, 4, Dramatic Club, Councillor 3, 4, Basketball, Volley- ball 2, 3, 4, Editor of The Boulder, Round Table 4.
