Z DULL) si 1937 Franklin Bernard Ferazza Earned with the siceat of my brow. Franklin seems to be kept constantly on the run, delivering papers and doing other odd jobs, going to school, and doing his homework. Nevertheless, he faces life cheerfully while making the most of his time. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Frederick William Fiskaali dare do all that may become a man. Mornings Freddie can be seen working in his father's store, that is, if it can be called work. But if there are any muscular powers demanded. Freddie satisfies, having trained many years at Stodge Meadow, Ashburnham, by paddling canoes and swimming. Stanley William Francek Often ornateness Goes without greatness Often felicity Comes of simplicity. Stan has the unexcelled honor of being the quietest fellow in school! This honor, however, is no discredit to him: and because he has no other press-agent, we take the opportunity of intro- ducing him as a good student and a loyal friend. Emmett John Fritz Every artist was first an amateur. Emmett's pen and ink sketches which have adorned the Red and Gray and the Y. M. C. A. bulletin boards have earned for him the title of our foremost cartoonist and artist. His headquarters which are naturally the Y have trained him as a first-rate table- tennis and basketball player. Tennis Team, won Red and Gray Poster 2, Basketball 2, 3, Class Color Committee 3. Katherine Pauline DiSalvo A gentle maid with quiet, modest ways. Katherine ranks as one of the smallest members of our class, and she is generally seen walking about school in an unoccupied manner. Although she does not take part in many school sports, she is fond of skiing and hiking. Helen Joan Dovedens Some like work, some like play, I'm for both. Helen is one of our part-timers who is full of fun and very talkative. If there's any talking in Mr. Howard's class either the third or fifth period, it is dear little Helen, talking on the subject cf cars or movies that she has attended. Her favorite diversion is knitting and driving. Glee Club 3, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4. Gloria Downs What my heart thinketh, my tongue speaketh. Music seems to be Gloria's weakness, for, during the summer, when the high school musical organizations cease functioning, she pursues her interests by attending the different local band con- certs. We wonder if those band concerts hold other interests than musical. Basketball 2, 3, Dramatic Club, Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Lucille Lydia Duval The better known, the greater is her worth appreciated. Lucille belongs to the gang that comes from Cleghorn. Her favorite sport is skating and many a winter's moonlight evening she may be seen skimming over the glassy surface of some pond. After graduation Lucille hopes to enter the business world. Volley- ball 2. Page 18

1937 Edward Joseph Dufort On with the dance! Let joy be unconfin'd No sleep till morn when youth and pleasure meet. Formerly one of the smallest members of our class, this year saw a great change in Edward as he suddenly grew tall. He was co-manager of the football team; enjoys sports of all kinds and also likes dancing. Football Manager 4. Hubert Francis Dupray 'Tis much he dares. Dupray possesses what we may call a radio complex as he spends more time fixing and listening to his radio, than on other aftairs. Some day he may offer us entertainment on his own radio. He is a pleasant fellow to know. Bernard Vincent Erickson His failings leaned to virtue's side. Buddy's tastes run toward the extremes of human comprehen- sion; he likes original poetry and even used to write some beauti- ful poems for a certain Westminster miss. His ambition is to be- come a chef; and believe it or not, he can bake as well as any girl, if not better. Dramatic Club, Glee Club 4. Norman Joseph Feingold Of their own merits modest men are dumb. Which is precisely true of Norman, who often amazes his class- mates with the brilliant remarks that he utters at too infrequent intervals. A true scholar, he will advance far when the time is ripe. Dramatic Club, Debating Club 4. Roberta Leone Cross Her quiet nature seemed to be Tuned to each season's harmony. Roberta, one of our hard-working part-timers, is seen every other week assisting Miss Mattson. She is a fun loving girl, and is always found with a merry group. Roberta also enjoys that ever popular pastime, knitting. Orchestra 3. Dorothy Catherine Daniels A comrade blithe and full of glee. Dot is one of the vivacious femmes of our class. She never seems to be worried about anything, not even homework. It's a real pleasure to have her around because of her pep, humor, and wit. Dorothy Louise Daulton With affection beaming in one eye and calculation out of the other. On the tip of her tongue, Dot has the most affectionate names for her friends. Since she obtained her license, this lass can be seen airing herself in that crisp West Fitchburg atmosphere. By the way Dot, what's that we hear about the good ice cream at Tremblay's7 Dram atic Club 2, 3, Junior-Senior Reception 3, Bas- ketball 2, 4. Philomena Ann DiConza Site is most fair and there unto Her life doth rightly harmonize. Phil is rather unobtrusive in the classroom, but beneath the surface smoulders the heart of a very merry girl. She flocks around with her own pleasant group of friends, contented and happy. Glee Club 2. Page 17

1937 Sam Gloriant For they can conquer who believe they can. Blond, brawny, bashful Sam is a regular cowboy picture fan' Perhaps he imagines himself the hero rescuing some fair damsel from the Indians. At any rate, his parallel pleasure is the study of history. Theodore Joseph Godek Here he comes — there he goes. Ted is a rather independent character who associates with his own particular circle of friends. The ease and precision with which he wields a hockey stick on the ice should make him a welcome addition to some big league hockey team. Foolball 2, 3, Relay Team 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4. Robert Ovila Godin Yet had his aspect nothing of severe, But such a face as promised him sincere. Godin is one of our modest chaps who, although serious, cer- tainly knows how to laugh and joke according to his friends, who say he is a real pal. His seriousness and the diligence he has shown in school are bound to carry him far in his future work. Arthur Burton Gooch Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep. Arthur is a ping-pong champ at the Y and thence wend his footsteps nightly. Although quite certain that overstudy is not the cause, we have often wondered why Arthur loves to sleep so much. Mayhap he has pleasant dreams. Constance May Emerson She is all my fancy paints her. Connie is endowed with that which is the envy of many girls and the ideal of many men — red hair. She has no temper, how- ever, but is quite calm. This probably accounts for her skill as one of talented acrobatic girls of Turner Hall. Volleyball, Hockey 2, Basketball 2, 3, 4. Aune Ida Erkkila Honest fame awaits the truly good. Aune is one of our hard-working girls in the commercial course. Her quiet manner makes her rather inconspicuous in school as well as outside. Helen Vieno Erkkila Today, whatever may annoy, The word for me is Joy, just simple Joy. A pleasing voice and a merry laugh which can often be heard resounding through the corridors before class can belong to none other than Tish. Helen's sunny attitude toward life has brought her many friends; her initiative, many tasks.

Rita Ethel Fergenson Still waters run deep. Rita has often been seen driving to school in a shining automo- bile, with Jean doing the back seat driving. But although Rita is a skillful driver, she often stalled in the middle of a street. She will seek her higher education at the University of Pennsylvania.
