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

John Patrick McCue Worry never clouds his cheerful thoughts. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Ellen Alice Jarkko Though I do not speak often, My mind holds many things.
