Merville Norbert Hebert I'm fond of the company of ladies. Merville has beautiful, wavy, dark blond hair of which he is justly proud. Merville's favorite subject is history; he likes to. share his knowledge with the whole class, not always legally. Tis whispered Merville's hobby is collecting fair maidens' hankies, which they give up unhesitatingly. Harold Rolland Hecker The best of things come in small packages. Harold has surprised us all, although his height may have deceived us, for he is our school tennis champion. He has won the tennis tournaments for two years consecutively. As for school, he is a hard working part-time student. Tennis, Intramural Basket- ball 3, 4. Richard Theodore Heslam His limbs are cut for hardy sports. Pep! Vim! Vigor! Personality! that's Teddy. As right end on the football team his playing showed his grit and will to win, for he played in the Turkey Classic in '37 with a broken ankle. As a miler he has been a welcome addition to our track team, and may we add — he has a ravenous appetite for steaks. His ac quaint- ances are proud to call him friend. Basketball, Track, Dramatic Club, History Club, Junior-Senior Reception 3, Football 3, 4, Councillor 4. Robert Charles Hickey You stand in your own light.

As a result of his classroom comedy, he has often wound up in 201. Basketball, Intramural Baseball 3. Terpsithea Gamvas Her pencil drew what e'er her soul designed. Terpsithea can be seen working almost every Saturday in Lincoln's. You are sure of service with a smile when she waits on you. Her ambition is to become an artist and follow in her father's footsteps. She should be well on the way to success as she won awards in the Humane Society and poster contests. Barbara Jane Gates Education is a possession which cannot be taken away. Barbie's sense of humor is beyond comparison. She has a never ending stock of puns. Her favorite pastime is arguing about F. H. S.'s football and basketball teams with some one from L. H. S. or St. B. H. S. Miss Gates, put your gum in the basket, is fre- quently heard in Barbie's vicinity.

Being musically inclined, she enjoys strumming on the piano, and is very faithful to her singing lessons with the result that we often hear her exerting her vocal cords. Dancing is also a pet diversion. Dramatic Club 2, Glee Club, Councillor, Marshal 4. Page 26

3 George Joseph Guilmette He thinks before he speaks. George is one of those quiet chaps who make up for it outside of school hours. He is a lover of sports, and when asked what sports he is interested in, he begins with boxing and ends with ping- pong. He is noted for his exceedingly dark eyebrows, which add to his appearance of strength. French Club 3, Latin Club 4. Turo Lauri Hallfors The glory of a firm capacious mind. Turo is that tall, handsome blond you see walking around Fitchburg High School. He skis marvelously well. Turo is also an accomplished actor, as you all know after seeing him in the Open Meeting. History Club 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Open Meet- ing 4. Alfred William Harrison He is a little chimney and heated hot in a moment. Al is classified as being cute because of his curly hair, blue eyes, and freckles. Who knows, maybe he'll become a great man some day, not only for his looks, but also for his dancing ability. If you want some points on the Big Apple or the Shag, call Har- rison, 1114-M. Ray Francis Haskell He that is friend to himself, is friend to all. Ray is the athletic type. Basketball and track draw him in their respective seasons. He enjoys fishing, and his quiet manner should be conducive to good catches. His spare time finds him behind the counter in the A. and P. Ray has a way of handling fussy old ladies. Dorothy Eileen Foley A prodigy of learning. Dorothy can be seen any school day walking through the corridors before 8:10 with an armful of important looking books. She has a preoccupied look, and the phrase excuse me is constantly on her lips. This senior is a wizard at typewriting. Councillor 3, Dramatic Club 4. Gladys Eloise Forest Maiden with the meek brown eyes. Gladys' school interests seem to lean towards the athletic. She has been active in basketball, field hockey, and volleyball, and has been equally skillful in all of them. Her pleasing personality has made her well liked by all the pupils.

Raymond Walter Hodge Gee, but I'm a busy man Have you seen Ray? Yes, he just flew by on his way to a meet- ing. Ray is a happy-go-lucky boy with plenty of zip and is carloads of fun.

Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Class Ring Committee 3, Red and Gray Board 3, 4, Round Table, Write- up Committee, Class Prophecy, Marshal 4. John Coleman Hoye Let the sounds of music creep in our ears. John plays the clarinet in the band and is quite a musician. He also plays the guitar. John is noted too for his merry laugh. It is decidedly distinctive and is very well known by most of us. Prize Speaking 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4, Open Meeting, Band, Orches- tra 4. Richard Wagner Huesman Born, he seems, for success. Dick's favorite expression is, On to Moscow! He is noted for his vocal apparatus both in yelling and crooning. He also plays the piano. Tennis 4. Keijo Armas Huhtala A faithful friend is the medicine of life. If there's a dance in town, among those present will be Mr. Keijo Moon Huhtala. Moon is not by any means a second-rate dancer. He is very popular with both boys and girls. He is also one of the best dressed boys in the senior class. As to his studies, we can't say; but as a friend, he's tops. Intramural Basketball 3, 4. Phyllis Elizabeth Gay Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned. Phil is one of our smiling sales girls who are always available on Saturdays in Roger's.

Glee Club 2, Dramatic Club 2, 4, History Club 3, Basketball 3, 4, Hockey 4. Denise Cecile Girouard The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. Denise directs traffic on the first floor and does a fine job of it. She is noted for her pretty clothes and her extensive wardrobe. In fact, we rarely see the same outfit twice on Denise. Denise plans to become a laboratory technician — perhaps that accounts for her interest in chemistry. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, French Club 2, 4, History Club 3, Basketball, Volleyball 3, 4. Thelma Elizabe th Gravel A girl with spirit and pep. One of the best dressed girls in our class, a fact in which she takes great pride!
