James Everett Hawkins Of their nu'ii merits modest men are silent. A srnile for e eryone seems to be Jimmie's motto. His en- thusiastic manner and cheerful disposition have won him a host of friends. Jimmie is a skilled model builder and woodworker. He enjoys camping in the open in all conditions of weather. Tennis Tournament 4, Dramatic Club 4. .Senior Class Play 4. Leeman Eino Hendrickson Hunting was his sport. This strong willed out-of-door individual has little to say in school. He'd rather do his work, get out of school and spend the rest of the day in the woods. An expert woodsman and marksman, he should hit his mark. Norman Henry Hobbs Who to himself is Id-u.' no law doth need. Offends no law and is a king indeed. When we first were acquainted with Hobbsie. he was one of those blond curly-haired darlings that never did anything out of place. -Ah-er, we might say now that his hair has lost a little of its curl and maybe that's 'nuff said. .Norman is the seniors' pride in the line of personality and sportsmanship. Dramatic Club 3, 4. Robert Arthur Hopkins Toiling, rejoicing, helpful Onward through life he goes. Hoppy keeps a regular rogues' gallery, in which there must be a picture of almost even,- girl in school. He has the reputation of being a heart-breaker, but also is known to have a rather mischie- vous turn of mind. Dramatic Club 2. Virginia Mae Forrester Her good humor is a fountain never dry. Ciinny is one of those pupils that seem to be always on the run. Her pleasant disposition made her a useful member of the numerous school clubs to which she belonged. .As she li es in W est Fitchburg, it is no wonder she is enthusiastic about swimming and skating. Dramatic Club 2, . 4, History Club 4. Helen Ann Foss Ever alert to the want of a friend. 'ou'll .see her in her spare time at Whalom roller skating. Her favorite sport is tennis and she is also a foot ba 11 enthusiast. Helen's ambition is to become a secretary or accountant at which we know she will be er ' efficient. Eva Estella Gage Truth is within ourselves. Eva is the blue-eyed lass from Westminster whose sunny smile charms us all. She likes to skate and swim in which sports she is quite proficient. Her quiet studious manner does not fool us for we know how li oly she can be. Dramatic Club .i. Claire Olive Gagnon A gentle quiet little elf, U ho thinks of others before herself. Claire seems to be a very cjuiet person, but out of school she appears (|uile li ely. She enjo s reading library books and niaking little sketchings which will perhaps lead to something in years to come. Claire is seen much of the time with Fred. French Club 2, Art Club 4. Page 24

Albert Oscar Goudreau Real loyalty is hard to find, But Albert has the key. Al has a long way to come to school every day so perhaps that is the reason that he comes on his bicycle. The sport that he likes the most and excels in is ice skating. He is one of the quietest but most sincere boys in our class. Thomas Hansen Where words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain. Tommy was one of the best runners on the relay team in 'Ji7 and was also on the football squad. He takes athletics quite seri- ously, and is usually found after school hours on a back lot playing scrub basketball, baseball, or football. He is somewhat of a wit, and likes to cut-up outside school while in school this characteristic of his is not so pronounced. I elay Team 3. Reino Harsila It is not that you won or lost But how you played the game. Since Muna has been on the football team he has had to dodge persistent ladies. I'nfortunately for the school he didn't find out that he was a football player until his senior year. School doesn't present any great fascination for him, but he does succeed in getting good marks. Basketball, Football, Baseball 4. Melvin Albert Hawes The force of his oiun merit makes his oivn way. Melvin is one of the few boys that can combine sports and studies successfully. He has two passions, football and a diminu- tive young lady with reddish gold locks. He is a studious boy and gets good marks, yet he always shines when he is called upon to do his part on the athletic field. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Football 3, 4, Marshal 4. Bernice Irene Fletcher She's full of life and full of fun. It must be nice to know that you are e erybody's friend and e 'erybody is your friend. This Bernie knows. Her laughter can be heard before she appears. No hockey game would be complete without Bernie there to play. Dramatic Club 3, Volleyball 3, 4, History Club 4, Hockey, Basketball 2, 3, 4. Marjorie Fletcher .Silence and discretion are especially becoming in a yjrl. Marjorie's aspiration is to become a nurse. How fortunate will be those who will come under the fostering care of her profes- sional skill. Although she is a great friend of Winona's, she has permitted many to enjoy a share of her companionship. Readers' Cuild 3, Secretary Science Club 4. Dorothy Marguerite Forest Little it matters what the size, Her true good value we realize. Dorothy has been one of our up-and-coming classmates through- out her three years in high school. She was active in many school activities, but took special interest in the Dramatic and French Clubs. She showed excellent class spirit, through her willingness to cooperate with everyone. Basketball, X'olleyball, Hocke ', Dra- matic, French Club 2, 3, 4, L,atin Club 4. Lorraine Marguerite Forest That which benefits us is cheerfulness. Lorraine is one of our bike enthusiasts for you will ne er see Lorraine outside of school without her bike. By the way how's the guitar coming along? If she studies as much as she plays on that instrument, we predict great things for her in the future. Page 23

George Ernest Hughes A smile and a helping hand Lightens a heavy burden. deorge is the bosom companion of Clayton Lord. Like Claytie, he has a mania for dancing. He also is ■ery acti 'e in the gymna- sium. Football 2, 4, Dramatic Club 4. Edward Samuel Imprescia can master awkiuard things. Eddie, in spite of his lack of height, was one of the faithful members of the football squad. He rarely missed practice, and often proved himself a good field general by the way he led the second team in scrimmage. Football 2, 3, 4, Relay 3, Basketball, Track 4. Robert Carroll Johnson Learning makes a man a fit companion for himself. Nick comes from the great industrial center of Fitchburg, the one and only VVaites Corner. His interests are baseball in the sum- mer when he pitches for the Waites Corner Heroes, and in winter his brand of hockey is e.xcelled by few in the school. When he isn't busy with sports he can be heard with his radio gi 'ing dots and dashes, and lots of flashes. Baseball 4. Robert EUstrom Johnson His interests range o'er everything A nd many vieics he holds. Bob not only can laugh without the slightest provocation but can make you laugh and enjoy yourself. He is tall and blond. His seeming indifference is his only weapon, especially in an argument. His mechanical, athletic, and dramatic abilities should combine to give him a successful career. Hand Book Committee 3, Councillor 3. Margaret Maude Gates So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more o f it remains. Peg is the energetic young lady who led us in our cheers at football games. Wherever Peg may be she always has a cheerful smile and pleasant word for everyone. She also served very capa- bly as our class secretary in our junior year. AW through our school years she has been a leader and helped make our class a success. Volleyball 2, 3, Basketball 3, Dramatic Club, Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4, Debating Club, Chairman Jo ke Committee Boulder, Marshal, Senior Class Play, History Club 4, Hockey 4. Theresa Alida Gelinas Her interest extends in many directions. An acquaintance with Grace is all that is necessary to appre- ciate her spirit of cooperation and friendliness. Vou would never suspect it, but her twinkling eyes betray her love of wholesome fun. Theresa Marie Gendron Pleasure has been the business of my life. Theresa had many interests outside of school, although she was a loyal member of our class. Although she attended Beano games and seemed to enjoy roller skating, her real interest was in music. She played the violin and hoped to further this study at the Boston Conservatory next fall. Sophie Ghenes A girl sincere and true. Sophie has been a favorite with us since the beginning of our high school career. In spite of the long walk she has from home you can always find her ready for some activity. A great deal of her time is taken up with the Girl Scouts and playing hockey. Hockey 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4. Page 25
