1937 Lawrence Frank Joslin So exceedingly tall and strong. Lawrence is very ambitious and spends all his time, and over- time, delivering soft drinks. The carbonated beverage and ice cream manufacturer finds him an excellent customer, for he con- tinually relieves his insatiable thirst by drinking frappes. His greatest worry is his size twelve shoes. Roy Arthur Juusola Fortune favors the brave. Roy's steadfastness of character has always led him straight to his goal; in sports to become the captain of the champion Trojan basketball team, and also to maintain his marks among the best. Relay Team, Class Ring Committee 3. . • i Spiros William Kandianis Wherever you look, wherever you go; A better sport does not grow. Spitto, whose election as basketball captain has proved his capability as a leader as well as an athlete, bears a name which is the delight of his friends and fans. A good sport in every sense of the word describes the great Spitto. Relay Team 3, Basketball 3, 4, Football 4. Eino William Kangas Quiet minds are generally the most happy. This blond chap has an inclination toward shyness in school. When you see a black limousine with yellow wheels whizz by, you can be sure Eino is one of its occupants. He indulges in sports and riding around with a sextet of chaps in his spare moments. Marguerite Frances Herrick Calmness is a great advantage. This unobtrusive brunette usually has something concealed up her sleeve, whether it be a joke or a ludicrous trick to spring on some one. Marguerite's favorite spot is the roller skating rink at Whalom which she patronizes even three times weekly. In the winter she turns to skating. Hockey 2, Basketball 2, 4, Dramatic Club 4. Taimi Ellen Hill Softly speak and sweetly smile. Perhaps that's what brings the other sex flocking. Maybe it's her quiet dignity, her good humor, or her love for all sports. After debating for some time over her future, Taimi has finally decided to become a beauty practitioner. Hockey, Dramatic Club 3, Reader's Guild 4. Olga Holtz Studious to please, yet not ashamed to fail. Wouldn't Olga make an able stenographic assistant to some business concern! Her intentions are just that. Although piano- playing and roller-skating are her preferred pastimes, it is a secret that she is often seen, clad in overalls, playing ball near Pearl Street. Glee Club 2. Anita Husari Dainty and sweet, a maiden petite. Journalism is the road which Anita plans to travel, with a bent to writing novels. Her originality will surely make her novels as interesting as herself. What Anita does with her spare moments is a secret, but — she writes bits of poetry.

1937 Ralph Lucien Johnson A nice unparticular man. This minute person occupies one of the more quiet seats of our class. His participation in school activities can rightly be said to match his size. We wonder if Ralph would ever have a nervous breakdown from studying? Waino Matti Johnson Nothing is more useful than silence. His quiet manner about school is something to be looked into, for his sudden change of manner outside is miraculous to behold. He can always be seen carrying books home from school, but he can also be seen every night near the High Street Spa. so draw your own conclusions. Charles Hober Jones, Jr. Never over serious, not too frivolous, But a rare good fellow. Charlie is a calm fellow with set ways, but of greater depth than is always evident. He cleverly combines studies with sports, in fact, the football team couldn't get along without him. As he is a marvelous swimmer, who knows but what he may replace Weismuller as Tarzan in the movies some day. Junior-Senior Reception Committee 3. Football 4. Cutler Jones He adorned whatever subject he either spoke or wiote upon with the most splendid eloquence. Cutler's hobby is fish. Not only does he enjoy fishing, but he has a large collection of rare tropical fish and much of his spare time is spent in the numerous fish stores of Boston. He is one of our outstanding scholars and edits the Red and Gray. Junior- Senior Reception Committee 3. Red and Gray 3, 4, Write-up Committee. Round Table 4. Freda Louise Hawkins By knowledge we do learn ourselves to know. Although Freda, at present, lives in a city, she is underneath a farm-bred girl. So enthused is she about her future vocation, nursing, that she spends her spare time working in order to make her goal possible. Strength of mind and body insure her success. Hockey. Basketball, Volleyball 2, Glee Club 3, 4. Virginia Hayes As merry as the day is long. Ginger is the scout of scouts, with her sparkling eyes, flawless complexion, animated smile, and dresses as neatly as the pro- verbial pin. She adores bicycling, is enthusiastic about hiking, and in her scout work is right up to the mark. She justly deserves her Golden Eaglet Award. Junior-Senior Reception Committee, French Club 3, Basketball, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Hockey 2, 3, 4, Glee Club 4. Onerva Elizabeth Heikkinen You by the help of tune and time Can make that song which was but rhyme. Onerva likes to sing and delights her listeners with her beauti- ful soprano voice. She has a large collection of swimming medals won for excellence in this sport. After graduation she plans to tdke up a course in physical training. Jean Henderson A quiet manner hides the mischief in her eyes. Swish — another two points to her credit! Jean, with her eagle- like eyes, is one of our most accomplished hoopsters. During basketball season she can be found at Guild Hall improving her shots and floor work. Jean is also known for her sincerity and frankness. Hockey 2. 4, Volleyball.

1937 Kazar Kazanjian Success by industry and labor. Shoc-shinc boy, working hard all day. Oh, no, not at his les- sons. School work never bothered Kazar and it's promising that it won't after June either. So keep on shining, shoe-shine boy. Foot- ball 2, Glee Club 4. Howard Raymond Lacey Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot. Quite frequently we labored under the delusion that a horse was near, but to our continual surprise it was merely Howard, enjoying himself. As the school's tennis champ, this popular chap is no laughing matter. His sax is his gateway to the girls and what a gateway! Basketball 2. 3, Tennis. Band. Dramatic Club, Open Meeting 2. 3, 4, Major Blows, Junior-Senior Reception Committee, Junior-Senior Relay, Councillor 3, Write-up Committee, Cap- tivators 4. Samuel Simon Laitila He is a man of his oicn mind. One of Miss Peabody's honored few, Sammy qualifies as an excellent weatherman for our school productions, by producing wind and rain realistic enough for professionals. His diligence as a worker is marked both as a student and an employee of Barney Rosen's. Harold Alden Lamb Harold left school December 21, 1936. Elsie Joan Iannuzzi Silence is golden. Elsie is a very quiet girl who says very little in school, but I advise you not to get her talking. Coming from the residen tial part of Fitchburg, Elsie can be found doing her shopping down on Water Street. Glee Club 4. Alberta Lillian Ilsley The mildest manners and the gentlest heart. Alberta is as refreshing as the breezes which blow from her native New Hampshire. She is one miss who has not succumbed to the short-hair fashion which fact is praiseworthy. Dramatic Club 2, 4, French Club, Round Table 4. Rauha Eliida Jaaskelainen It is becoming of thee to smile. Ray is one of our ambitious out-of-town girls. She likes swing- time in dancing, but when it comes to dresses she draws the line. Rauha makes her own clothing, and suits herself in fine taste and style. Any work which will bring results will be Rauha s ambi- tion. Class Flag Sewing Committee 3, Glee Club 4, Reader's Guild 4. Alice Aileen Johnson True merit is like a river, the deeper it is the less noise it makes. Many have pierced the wall to the kingdom of Alice's heart to secure her true friendship. In spite of her misfortune to her health Alice has managed to keep that bright smile and the twinkle in her eyes. Page 26
