Francis Thomas Kalagher Everywhere the question in life is not what ic'c gaiti but what we do. Franny is well known for his dealings in newspapers. He en-- deavors to satisfy all with his quiet inipressix e manner. Perhaps it was the exercise which he receives at his work thai enabled him to make such a splendid e.xhibition at the Junior- .Senior Kelay Race. Kelay . Edward Vettie Kalinen A man full of ambition. To find out what a perfect coordination of muscles means, one should watch Eddy on the gym floor. Did you e er see him do somersaults or hang by his toes -' He can also use his hands to great ad antages in making e.xcellent cartoons, drawings, and paint- ings. Football 2, 3. Lester James Kelty Life is a jest and all things show it, I thought so once, now I know it. I.ester is the red-headed lad from Westminster who whizzes to school in a (iraham on the mornings he o ersleeps. He thinks -ery little of studying, but to his ad antage he has that air which seems to get away with exerything. He hopes in the near future to take up the study of I iesel engines. Football 2, 4. Toivo Francis Kerttula From him all sorrow flies afar. Toivo is a quiet and unassuming youth, who is not really known to any save his own chums. He is ery proficient in handicrafts. Though quiet, Toiv'o is well liked and the better he is known the better liked. Rachel Mary Giamarino In faith, lady, you have a merry heart. Rachel has made herself well known during her four years at high school for her wit and good nature, for she is bubbling o 'er with fun. .A great lo er of books, she can always be found at the libran,-. The quality which characterizes F ache! best is pep. Volleyball .Basketball 2, 3, 4, Dramatic Club 4. Lucille Corinne Goguen Nothing is achieved before it be thoroughly attempted. I-ucille helps to keep the wheels of the Continuation .' chool Office running smoothly. She is ery studious and can generalK' be seen carrying as many books as she can hold. Cutside of school, she is an actixe member of the (lirl .Scouts. Basketball 2, Hockey 2, 3, Dramatic Club 2, 4, Histor - Club 4. Winona Greene Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined. CiWe Winona a needle, thread, a bit of cloth and she can turn out anything you wish. Sewing is her one particular skill. She is {(uiet and demure; still we find her an acti e member of se eral school clubs and a regular attendant of the Junior Woman's Club. Science Club, Readers' Cuild 4. Dorothy Louise Griggs My smiling eyes betray a heart of gold. Here is a girl who hasn't an enemy in the world. She is cheer- ful and easy to get along with. Dotty is especially fond of sports, starring as a goalie in hockey. Perhaps her athletic ability comes from that slight strain of Indian of which she is erj- proud.

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

Peter Kyricopoulos Good humor is the main spring of his energy. Pete is one of those tall stalwart boys from West Fitchburg. When seen patrolling Main Street or in school he is always well supported by a large following of friends. Football 2, ?i. Eugene Edward Laakso Talented and studious is he. To this calm, quiet, young Einstein, anything involving the science of Mathematics is quite simple- and interesting. Perhaps that is why he enjoys physics. School, however, does not take up all his time for he spends a great deal of it at his favorite sport — hunting. Joseph Laberge Active, buoyant, beaming. Of energy — great stores. Joseph is one of those boys who never seem to be worried very much about anything that usually troubles others, such as home- work, for instance. It is a pleasure to have him around because of his good humor and wit. Joseph finds life enjoyable, and helps in his own way to make it more pleasant. Relay 3, Basketball, Track 4. Sointu Olavi Lahti chatter, chatter as I go. Baron Munchausen, as he is lovingly called by his friends, can tell quite a few stories, but his favorites are fishy ones. For ac- cording to his own repute, he is an experienced fisherman. Where er Sointu can find a listener, he needs no prompting; so if you wish to have a pleasant half hour, ask him about that thirty inch pickerel he caught with a bare hook in Nashua. Dramatic Club 2. Lena Guglielmi have sweet refuge in music. Lena is one of our quietest pupils from 8.15 till 2, but after that she makes her presence felt. She is an excellent pianist. She loves to swim, skate, and dance as well, but the movies are her secret passion. Lena will not regret leaving her classmates and books behind her at graduation. Pauline Mae Healy Iler smile is sweetened by her gravity. Pauline is known as one of our quiet members. Her greatest ambition when she graduates is to become a nurse. How fortu- nate will those be who will come under her fostering care. She can now be found working at Woolworth's every Saturday. Dramatic Club, History Club 4. Beulah Davis Howard 'Tis good will makes intelligence. Beulah is one of our exceptionally modest and quiet school- mates, but her presence is always enjoyed by her own circle of friends and acquaintances. She is very industrious, and spends most of her time reading books. (Outside of school, up there in Westminster, Beulah is an active member in the Crange which she enjoys very much. Dramatic Club 2, History Club, Readers' (iuild 4. Lydia Miriam Huttula In her tongue is the hn ' of ki)id)iess. Lydia is a small, quiet girl who ranks high in scholastic stand- ing. I)riving a car is one of her pastimes which she enjoys greatly, although she has to perch on a pile of pillows. A blond football player occupies much of her leisure time.
