BOULDER 1940 Leon Earl Grow Cheerfulness is the principal ingredient in the composition of health. Leon is a fellow who is always fooling with his teachers. Al- though he is always joking, he seems to find time to study and make the honor rolls. Leon is planning to enter some technical school to study either mechanical or chemical engineering. Although he is not an active athlete, he is greatly interested in sports. Relay Team 3. Leo Patrick Hachey Fortunate is he whom the dangers of others render cautious. This is Leo. He's the tall, dark type that is always welcome and always a good sport. Speaking of sports, he is known here- abouts as a baseball player of no mean ability. He was also a main- stay on the Relay Team. Maybe he gets in condition from his jaunt, via Cleghorn, to school every morning. Raymond Fredrick Hakkila The countenance is the index of the mind. Ray, that tall, blond fellow from Westminster, is considered bashful. This isn't so, judging from his progress in Gardner; how- ever, at the present time he's concentrating his charms on a brown- eyed girl who lives near him. He hopes to be an aviator later in ife which probably accounts for the fact that his mind is in the clouds most of the time. Dramatic Club 2. Jefferson Alonso Hall A thinking man is always striking out something new. Jeff is a member of the Dramatic Club and aids its activities by serving on the stage crew. He is the member-at-large of the Hi-Y , Club and president of the Rollstone Young Men's Class. His hobby Is molding and modeling. His many projects in these lines should prove helpful in attaining his goal as an architectual engineer. Class Motto Committee 3, Dramatic Club 4. Margaret May Haven There's mischief in this maid. Margaret is one of the pleasantest and most charming members of the senior class. She has plenty of pep and likes all sorts of sports, swimming, hiking, skating, and dancing, if that may be classified as a sport. She's very clever in knitting and sewing. Miggles, also, takes elocution lessons from Miss Quinlan. No wonder she has such a lovely voice! Dramatic 2, 3, 4, Class Colors 3, Write-up Committee 4, German Club 4.

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.

BOULDER 1940 Herbert Edward Halliday Nothing is more valuable to a man than courtesy. Teddy is one of our more prominent senior boys. Beside being vice-president of both the Pep and Glee Clubs he busies himself with athletics. Perhaps he cultivated his preference for dim lights and smooth dancing in New York, where lives a fairer damsel than all. As for the future, Ted's headed for the University of Washington where he will study forestry. Football 3, 4, Pep Club, vice-president, Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Pep Dance Committee, Write-up Committee, Class Prophecy, Senior Class Play 4. Olavi Heimo Halttunen The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr. As Olavi is a marshal on the fourth floor corridor, he is quite a familiar figure to us all. He has a hobby quite different from anyone else's, which is the prognostication of the results of such contests as football, baseball, boxing, and track. Optometry is the field that interests Olavi as a life work. Junior Relay Team 3, Collector of Class Dues 3, 4, Dramatic Club, Class Prophecy, Assist- ant Councillor, Senior Class Play 4.

Although he isn't large he has the tenacity and fighting spirit of a bull-dog and a never-say-die spirit. His favorite hobby is shooting and we can well believe that he does a good job of punching out the bullseyes. His ambition is to prepare himself to be a veterinary. Football 2, 3, 4, Relay 3, Round Table 4. Donald Bernard Hawthorne He is merry as a cricket. Don is one of our noisiest seniors who believe in being heard as well as seen. We wouldn't call studying his favorite pastime. He is one good athlete whom we couldn't do without on the football field or indeed in baseball. His captivating smile and husky body make him a popular figure about the school. His gallant walk makes O it easy for him to carry two or three cases of Taters.
