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

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 Joseph Aubert Lamontagne A youth sincere and true. Joe is one who does not like crowds and finds his own company the best. His hobbies are collecting stamps and building model air- planes but these do not keep him from being an able athlete and musician. Relay Team, Orchestra 3, 4. Raymond Joseph Lamothe Music hath its charms. Ray is tops when it comes to horse-shoe pitching, for he is a champion. He also goes to town by strumming his ol' banjo and some day, maybe, he will be soaring high above us in the ciouds. Ernest Leo Legros Was ever man so little grieved as I. A never absent smile characterizes Leo, the popular president of the renowned Guy Fontgalland Drum Corps. He also has an epicurean liking for licorice which he invariably carries in his pockeu Herbert Eugene Levoy, Jr. J am very fond of the company of ladies. Jiggs is the lucky lad who owns that model A red Ford which travels to and from school full of happy fellows. He, being mechanically inclined, is very fortunate in having a fully-equipped work shop where he receives plenty of practice on his Ford. Squad B Football 3. Margaret Veronica Kazanjian Confidence begets confidence. Margaret's lovable personality has won her many friends during her school years. She has become the confidant of her classmates. Margaret is also a good housekeeper, although she hopes to be- come an efficient stenographer. Hockey 2, Basketball 2, 3, Glee Club 4. Barbara Louise Kelley A good disposition that gold cannot buy. Under that apparently demure and serene exterior of Barb is hidden a mischievous and fun loving spirit. She is quite interested in military maneuvers and can often be found scanning the Army mail from Panama. Basketball, Dramatic Club 4. Janet King Life is jest and all thiyigs show it; I thought it once and now I know it. One of those ever-wagging tongues has she and a truly un- mistakable laugh. Janet also heeds the call of the physical in that she participates in tennis and bicycling, and even exercises her hnger tips by aiding Miss Ames, the dressmaker, mornings. Dra- matic Club 2, 3, Class Banner Committee 3. Ellen Katherine Koittila Business is the salt of life. Tall and slender, Ellen has found her way into many sister stu- dents' hearts. She has proved to be a worthy assistant in the Superintendent's office. Sports and literature take up her leisure time while she is planning for a business career. Page 27
