30 JLi) sl 1937 Eino Edward Gronroos His study is not great but continual. Never judge a book by the cover. Applying this to humans, we'll take Eino for an example. Very quiet in external appearance, but quite a teaser of the girls, especially in United States History class. Despite this, we are sure he will make good. Sammy Guastello will be lord over myself. Sam is an intelligent boy when so inclined but during recita- tions he is not generally so inclined. Still he is of the serious type and may some day astound the world with latent thoughts now in the making. Relay Team 3. Arthur Henry Gustafson For life is ended when honor ends. Gus has the honor of being one of our outstanding athletes who conscientiously trains himself by playing ferryman or canoeman to the feminine populace of Stodge Meadow, Ashburnham. during the summer. Swimming and horse-shoes are also two sports of which he is master. Basketball. Football 2, 3, Councillor 4. Tyygo Haimila Quietness is best. Outside the school doors Tyygo is transformed into a lively youth. Take a trip to West Fitchburg during skating season and see Tyygo give the hockey stick a mean swing. He evidently doesn't believe in giving his books a ride home too often. Shirley Fickett And her modest answer and graceful air Show her wise and good as she is fair. Pleasingly plump, Shirley should be a second Kate Smith with her golden voice. She surely should get to the top as she does with her high notes. And have you ever heard her whistle? Keep it up Shirley, you're doing fine. Glee Club 3,4, Band 4. Constance Margaret Fitzgerald Footloose and fancy free. Connie is carefree and without a worry in her head. We have observed that although she isn't especially interested in school books, she manages to get along somehow with the rest of them. Outside of school, Connie's chief amusement is dancing. Ruth Flaum With volleys of eternal babble. You would hardly know that Ruthie had a voice in school, but outside its walls she can compete with the best known chatterers. A great part of her time is spent returning or procuring library books and the rest in the movies. Glee Club 3, Reader's Guild 4. Rosamond Flint Tall, straight, slender with all the graces blest. In Rorrie, one of our most attractive seniors, we find a pleasant nature, an ideal basketball center, and an excellent coach, evi- denced by the results of her team. In true Flint tradition, she takes tc tennis and to driving a car with ease. Basketball, Glee Club, Pinafore 2, Dramatic Club, Class Dues Committee 3, 4, Thanks- giving Dance Committee 4. Page 20

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. Basketball, Pinafore 2, Class Motto Committee, Belle of Barcelona 3, Hockev, Dramatic Club 2, 4, Debating Club, Red and Gray 3, 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Councillor 4. 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.

1937 Eino Oscar Hakala Gayly the troubadour touched his guitar. Would you like to wake up some night to find someone strum- ming beneath your window? Anything like that is likely if Eino is around with his guitar and Ray with a banjo. Eino's hobby is building airplanes. Some day he may become a pilot — who knows? Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Emerson Morton Hall The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. Emerson is the proud possessor of an imposing array of church attendance pins and sets an example that all should follow. He enjoys fellowship with young people, discusses the problems of the day with them and is a welcome addition to any group. Dra- matic Club 3, 4, Glee Club 4. Robert Lowell Hall A pal to all and a grand, good scout. Bud's good looks and geniality have made him many friends, especially among the fairer sex. Gypsy-like he comes and goes, never staying in one school very long, although F. H. S. has claimed him most. But wherever he chances, a trail of broken hearts remains — so take care, fair maids. Relay Team 3. David Malcolm Harkness On him in his high endeavor. The light of praise shall shine forever. Dave, both physically and mentally, is one of our bigger boys. He has successfully combined leadership in sports and studies, having received highest honors in both. His desire to serve hu- manity has made medicine his ultimate goal. Junior-Senior Recep- tion Committee 3. Round Table, Councillor, Write-up Committee 4, Football 2, 3, 4. Julia Louise Forbes Among good things, I prove and find The quiet life doth most abound. Behind that serene smile lurks a burning desire to become a famous singer. Julia intends to take lessons after graduating and build a career for herself. With her ambition and way of doing thoroughly every undertaking, we are sure she will succeed. Glee Club 3, 4. Margaret Louise Foss A lovely girl to meet and know Here comes Peggy from West Fitchburg. Always on the dot, she has a mighty fine sense of humor. Tomboyish in sports but feminine when the lights grow dim. Peggy plans to follow in the footsteps of her sisters. Anna Catherine Fritz Nothing seems to disttirb the even tenor of her ways. Anna is a bicycle enthusiast and on fine spring mornings may be seen energetically pedalling in the environs of Fitchburg. Per- haps the fresh air and sunshine which she gets on these trips ac- count for her wavy hair and clear brown eyes. French Club. 3. Eleanor Gay Be virtuous and you'll be happy. Eleanor is an industrious student with fingers most extraor- dinary in that they are forever busy. Ambition shows itself in every phrase of her activity. She works outside as weil as in school.
