BOULDER 1940 George Edward Brown He possesses a hearty appetite. George claims he is going to be a big game hunter. He is a happy kind of fellow and is always ready with a quick comeback. Collecting medals was once his hobby but he decided that button pins would be much easier to obtain. He also collects keys and padlocks which he rattles on Hallowe'en night. Arthur William Brusila An honest heart possesses a kingdom. Art helps, as a stage hand, to put on our dramatic productions. He is very much interested in photography. Arthur is in the trombone section of the band. Art tells good fish stories because he has had lots of practice for his hobby is fishing. Club 4. Band 2, 3, 4, Dramatic Doris Louise Bowen She studies music, we have learned. Doris is talented in many arts. Her interest must lie in the finer things of life, for not only has she shown her ability in art, but in music as well.

She plans to continue her studies in music after graduation. Art Club 2, Orchestra 3, Dramatic Club 4. Reathel Marguerite Briggs For a light heart Hies long.

Some of Bucky's virtues are his wavy blond hair, his blue eyes, his height, and his manner. He is a great sportsman, particularly in hunting. He also is very energetic as he gets up early to peddle milk. Bucky is also active in the DeMolay. Football 2. James Vincent Patrick Carnivale Habits form character and character is destiny. James is a cheerful little classmate, who exhibited exceptional skill in basketball. This athletic skill is not limited to basketball only but extends to other sports as well. The principles he has learned from his hobby of airplane modeling should prove an asset in his endeavor to become a pilot in the United States Air Force. Basket- ball 4.

During the years that he has spent in Fitchburg High we all have come to like him, and feel sure that he will be a success in the paper busi- ness which he has chosen for his life's work. Gerard Jean Boudreau Chance everywhere has power. Here's a fellow who knows of things to do and how to do them. In school he's the tall, rather quiet young man with the curly hair that all girls seem to like. And if you want to know anything about U. S. History, Gerard is the fellow to ask. John Vearen Bowers Gaiety is the soul's health. The Great Dubber must have found the fountain of youth because he always appears as fresh as a spring day even though he maintains a job at the Y, goes to at least one dance a week, has had dates with thirty-six different girls, belongs to the Hi-Y, worries about his future, and leads our cheers.
