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. She also excels in dancing as well as in blushing, hence her smiling face is looked for in some dance-hall practically every evening. Readers' (luild 3, 4, French Club, Class Dues Committee 4. 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

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.

Clayton Richard Lord Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Claytie enjoys the distinction of being one of the school's best dancers.

Jack's big br'jwn eyes and fun lo ing disposition ha e made him a live one. .Anyone who has been in any of his classes can vouch for the fact that his well known sense of humor has pulled him out of many tight spots, e en in Mr. Adler's gym class. Jack, as canoe Czar at W'halom last summer, really found out how popular he was and was surprised to see what a number of friends he had. Philip Arthur McGuirk True merit is like a river, The deeper it is the less noise it makes. What first attracts one to this smooth young man is his calmness and keen sense of humor.
