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.

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.

i3 0 JLD n Henry Charles LaVoie The most manifest sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Henrv' is well known for his debating ability. The entire, school is not willing to accept the defeat of his team. The loss last year of the Debating Club cup to the girls' team was a sour blow, to Henry. Be prepared to tune in on your radio, at some later date to a program announced by the dulcet oice of Henry l.avoie. Dramatic Club, Debating Club 2, 3, 4, Junior Prom Committee 3. Julius Bernard Lazarowitz Ciood humor is the health of the soul. Red is the capable co-manager of the football team. His favorite sports are fishing and hunting. He has a fine collection of fish lines and a 30- . 0 rifle for hunting purposes. Red helps his brother who is a painter. W'e wonder if his paint brush slipped once and made his hair so red. Co-manager Football Team 4. Ernest Dolor LeBlanc A worker who seems so free But a true friend to you and me. Ernest is quiet but friendly and always willing to lend a help- ing hand. He served as a very efficient waiter in the cafeteria during lunch periods. Ernest tra els alone frequently, and it is not at all unusual for his trips end up in a mo ie theatre. Louis Allen Leger .Serene, resolute, still, Also calm and self-possessed. .Allen is a loyal supporter of his alma mater. Even though he works, every Saturday, at noon he takes his leave, and makes his appearance at Crocker Field to root for the home team. He was manager of the Relay Team in '37, and put in a great deal of time keeping records of the team's progress, but shared none of the glory- except the satisfaction of a job well done. Debating Club 2, I)ra- matin Club 2, 3, Manager Basketball 3, 4. Helen Viola Jaaskelainen Her eyes are songs without words. True to blond fashion, Helen, one of our particularly attractive girls, blushes ery easily.

Ellen Alice Jarkko Though I do not speak often, My mind holds many things. In spite of the difiiculties the female sex finds in doing Trig and Physics, Ellen was one of the two lassies who faced the test, -- nd in fact, Ellen managed to do better than some of the boys in the class. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4. History- Club, Basketball 4. Martha Margaret Jones Her friends there are many, Tier foes are there any? Martha has long been a ver ' popular young lady. Cf late her circle of intimate friends has grown longer. Even in the lower grades her knack of making friends was noticed. She is a credit to the north side. Basketball 2, 4, Dramatic Club 3, 4. Lillian Louise Kaulback Light comes in the gloom. Lillian is the proud possessor of a most alluring jsersonality which has captured the heart of many a male. Her favorite sport is dancing, and maybe it is this that keeps her up so late at night. Her future is as yet undecided. Page 28
