His artistic work at pre- sent consists of etching in silver and copper, but later on he may branch out into other fields of art. However, don't exclude him from music, for his training in the high school band and in a church choir have brought out his varied musical abilities. Band 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 4. Arthur Louis Gagnon, Jr. The eye is the pulse of the soul. Arthur is one of the quietest boys in our class although he has a grand sense of humor. He is very adept at writing poetry. We imagine he would be a better poet than an accountant, which is his one ambition, because of the excellence of his recently written poetry. Ask Arthur to tell you about the poem he wrote entitled, Eyes. Debating Club 2, 3, 4. George Frederick Gay Learning is the eye of the mind. Jake is another one of those seniors, who, although unassuming, manage to do a great deal. He is quite an expert in making model airplanes. He is a member of the Whalom Roller Skating Club. In the summer he works at Marshall's Farm among the apple trees and has had many exciting times there. Following graduation he wishes to become an airplane mechanic.

BOULDE R 1940 Donald Woodruff Fletcher Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man. Don is the young man you see going down the corridors wear- ing bright plaid hunting shirts. This seems proper because Don is quite a hunter and is good enough to be a member of the Fitchburg Rod and Gun Club. He seems to want to follow in his Dad's footsteps, because his one ambition is to be a contractor. Coun- cillor 2, Class Colors 3. Edward Gerard Flood An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Edward's posture is unequaled in F.H.S. If this has anything to do with character it shows that he is confident and can look the world in the face. When he isn't doing his regular home work he studies chemistry which he hopes to take up as his life work. Councillor 3. Alfred Paul Forest is better to be always prepared than to suffer once. Al has an unusual and interesting hobby, that of bird-raising and has had many interesting experiences with birds and their habits. He is a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster and is quite proficient in the art of scouting. David Louis Forest Silence brings friendship. Dave enjoys the distinction of being the possessor of a wave which, according to all appearances, is actually permanent. Nat- urally he is envied by all the girls, and not a few of the boys. Dave has a hobby, that of making flying model airplanes in his spare time. He is a member of the track team, and belongs to the ultra- exclusive Hi-Hatters. Track 3.

BOULDE-R. bee i m- Peter Giammalvo The greatest learning, is to be seen in the greatest plainness. Pete should be well known, to all who like to bowl, as he can usually be found at the other end of a bowling alley, working as pin boy. Although he is mostly associated with an indoor sport, his real joy is hunting and fishing. Because of this Pete hopes to become a Forest Ranger or a Guide. Track, Relay 3, 4. 1940 David Crawford Glen Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. Glenny is one of our cheeriest seniors. His infectious grin is a common sight, while passing through the corridors. Glenny is worth a bit of his weight in gold for, in the sophistication of his junior year, he swallowed a few goldfish. He tells us that he would like to excel as a teacher and he plans to attend the Fitchburg State Teachers' College. Radio Club 2. Henry John Godek Use pastime so as not to lose time. Piffy. as his ruddy cheeks show, is a happy person who likes the out-of-doors. He has changed from a sober youth to a frivolous person who is now the life of the party.

One does not often see a girl as typical of her nationality as Henna is, with her blond hair and clear complexion. All her char- acteristics are proof of her Finnish descent. Her marks indicate that free-hand drawing is her most outstanding subject, and it is no wonder for drawing is her hobby. After graduation Henna plans to take up secretarial work.
