Donald Clifford Alexander Those who think nobly, are noble. Wherever he goes he is always in a rush, with his unusually long stride. We can account for this, for he is a busy boy in school and out. In his spare moments when he has his German done, we find him conversing with Miss Peabody. His outside work con- sists of church activities, scouting, and a good deal of time spent in his home workshop.

Bernard Francis Ashe Benevolence is the distinguishing characteristic of man. A typical boy, quiet in action but always accomplishing great things. We find in him a glow of welcome and friendly regard for all who approach him. His goal is to become an accountant. Bernhard Autula Bashf ulness is an ornament to youth. s Bernhard is one of our most studious members. He works a a part-timer for Miss Dunn.

She is so engrossed in her typewriting that she often stays after school to improve her technique. Dramatic Club 2. Faith Hathaway Atkinson The enthusiasm of youth. Faith came to us from Leominster High School in our junior year and has since become an essential part of our class. Her appearance and actions are very collegiate.

Norman Robert Adler He is witty, he is wise He's a terror for his size. A vagabond of the road! Sonny can be seen driving aro und at most any time in his little Ford; that is, if he isn't repairing it. Peddling newspapers gives Sonny the exercise of which riding deprives him. He's one of the smallest men of our class, but small men have been known to do great things. Aimo Allan Ahola Slow and sure was his manner. Once Aimo was among the smallest members of our class, but the last year has seen a great change as he is now among the tallest. Aimo is industrious, and the saying, He who works will be re- warded, holds true for Aimo, since he is among the high ranking students. Track Team 3, 4, Baseball 4. Anthony Joseph Alario Where he is melancholy cannct stay. Tony has a weakness for noisy shoes. Upon looking to see who is making the noise, we see Tony's ample figure and his red, round, smiling face before us. Tony intends to own a chain of grocery stores. You should succeed, Tony, if you don't eat all the profits first. David Warner Aldrich None but himself can be his parallel. Dave is a mischievous little fellow, often mistaken for a sopho- more because of his height. He likes to drive a car and is often seen driving a Waites-Corner grocery truck.

Jean Phy llis Anderson The true, strong, and sound mind Embraces all things great and small. Jean is a curly blond-haired senior with a happy-go-lucky expression. The only time Jean becomes serious is in United States History period where she is noted for her witty remarks concerning this subject. There being two Miss Andersons in her U. S. period, Jean decided to recite not only for herself, but for her fellow name- sake. History Club 3, Basketball 3, 4, Dramatic Club 4.
