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

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

13 ODLDin 1937 Edgar Dana Lord Ruddy his lips, and fresh and fair his hue. Edgar keeps the confectionery business in a flourishing state, for he is never seen without candy in his possession. This makes him much sought after by a certain group of young ladies. Perhaps it is to candy-eating that Edgar owes his rosy cheeks and curly hair. Roger Edward Lord He speaks sense. With the meticulous qualities which Roger has inherited, he will undoubtedly follow his father's footsteps and become head bookkeeper in some large concern in the future. At least that is his goal at present. Councillor 2. Horace John Luchford As honey attracts bees so he attracts friends. Anyone, who comes in contact with Leggie's cheery voice and sincere manners, cannot help but like him. His friends are both numerous and loyal. The clinking behind his house summer rights, can be attributed to this future horse-shoe champ. Track 2, 4, Football 2, 3, 4, Junior Prom Committee 3, Junior Relay 3, 4. Donald Francis MacLean It is not birth nor rank nor state But get tip — and get — that makes men great. Ossie is our star athlete, our finest example of good sports- manship, and a grand fellow whom we are proud to have in our class. This southpaw hurler, besides his athletic activities, finds time to attend school daily and occasionally visit a damsel with a poetic Tennysonian name. Baseball 3, Football, Basketball 2, 3. 4. Paraskevy Fostine Kopsiaftis A sweet attractive kind of grace. Paraskevy is one of our part-timers this year. She is a quiet, studious girl who takes her work seriously and her play with enjoyment. Basketball, her favorite sport, she plays with a will and with good sportsmanship. Her hobby is collecting dog pins. Basketball, Volleyball 2, 3, Hockey 2, 3, 4. Mildred Edna Koski For she is jes' the quiet kind Whose nature never varies. Mildred, part-timer in the office, is very retiring and shy, even among her friends. Although Mildred's name appears on the spe- cial honor roll, she does not neglect her favorite sport, skiing, or her hobby, collecting pictures. Mildred's ambition is to become a stenographer. Anna Krysil A girl so sweet and fair. With a happy smile and a pleasant air. Blue-eyed Annabelle is a part-timer for Miss Mattson and also an honor roll student. Anna likes all sports, and as is typical of a fun-loving girl, she likes to dance. One of her greatest ambitions is to do some extensive traveling — maybe across the ocean. Bas- betball, Volleyball 2, 3. Doris Irene Lafleur Friends she has many. Foes, has she any? Out of her vast circle of friends Doris has picked Mae and Sunshine to form her triumvirate. The instigator of many happy times for those three, she has made many a person glance with envy at her apparent friendliness with teachers.
