BOULDER 1940 Raymond Henry Lamothe He who is silent gains a store. Ray has the build of a true athlete. Besides that he has the cleverness without which no one can become great. These two quali- ties made him Fitchburg High School's star baseball pitcher and home run hitter. Ray. however, intends after graduation to use as an elec- trician the skill which he has acquired by his work with electrical devices. Football 2, 3. Oskar Edward Lamsa The learned man has always riches in himself. Oskar belongs to the great army of stamp collectors. Perhaps his hobby was inspired by his work, for he is employed in the mail- ing office of the Raivaaja Press.

BOULDER 1940 Daniel Koval Those who labor with their minds rule. Dan is one of our acknowledged leaders in scientific subjects; he is especially outstanding in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. But it is not to be thought that his only interest is in his studies, for Dan is an ardent photo fan and a member of the Hi-Y. We might also mention that he is active in school affairs, holding the responsible position of chief marshal. French Club 2, 3, 4, Junior- Senior Relay, Intramural Basketball, Junior-Senior Reception 3, Dra- matic Club, Round Table, Write-up Committee 4. William Waldemar Kumpu Language most shows the man.

Payson Company and intends to become one of their clothing salesmen after graduation. Norma Henry Lacas Happy is the man who doeth all the good he talks of. Norman has been with us for a long time now and we've come to respect his quiet easy-going disposition. His interests are varied. His great ambition is to be a mechanic in a cotton factory. Robert Francis Lamb Reason governs the wise man. Robert enjoys photography and the excellent pictures which he has taken prove that he knows his stuff in photography. He belongs to the Turner Athletic Association where he practises running and where he trained for our relay team. Relay, Football 3. Anita Dorothy LaFleur The word impossible is not in my dictionary. Anita is a girl with very pretty reddish brown hair who is full of vim and vigor. Above all other things, she likes to play the piano. In spite of her interest in the piano Anita would like to do clerical work for her livelihood. Hockey, Basketball 3. Claire Simone Lalonde She can be as wise as we, And wiser when she wishes.

Class Banner 3, French Club 3, 4, Dramatic Club 4. Esther Mae Leavenworth Exceeding pleasant to my eyes is she. We have yet to see this lass when she is feeling moody. This would be quite impossible, for her disposition is always pleasant. Esther is a bright-eyed lass, with pretty hair, smooth skin, and plenty of pep. She is an active member of the Girl Scouts, and you can usually see Essie performing her daily good deed. Esther hopes to secure a secretarial position after graduation.

BOULDER 40 Romeo Charles LeBlanc Actions speak louder than words. Any time you want to find Romeo, look for Joe Menard, for Romeo will be by his side. Besides being an expert dancer of the jitterbug type, and a member of the football squad, Romeo is also an expert marksman in the National Guards. Romeo cherishes the ambi- tion, that every boy used to have, of becoming a locomotive engineer. Football 2, 3, 4, Junior Relay 3, French Club 3, 4. William Joseph LeBlanc Learning makes a man a fit companion for himself. Hold your cards, the winner may be wrong. That is Bill's cue for a night's work, for he works at the Veterans of Foreign Wars' Bingo party. He's proved himself an all around good fellow and is popular with the boys and incidentally the fairer sex too. His ambition is to be a mail carrier, so he may be ringing your bell some day. Henry Bernard LeBouf Read and you will know. Henry has the courage of his convictions and doesn't hesitate to give his opinion about things that might affect him. Although he has his serious moments and smiles only to be polite, he does have 'V a rather private sense of humor and displays it when it is least ex- pected. The element of surprise is the backbone of his personality. Jouko Oscar Lonnqvist One accomplishes more by silence than by speech. Touko's constant good nature is always accompanied by a sly and knowing grin. This sandy-haired lad is nearly invincible at the game of Tit Tat Toe. Lately he has become a regular patron of one of Fitchburg's foremost studios of the dance. According to Jouko, Astaire had better watch his step. In spite of outward signs that he is not too serious. Jouko usually has his lessons done. Intramural Basketball 2, 3. „ Lorraine Lynne Leonard Her thoughts are never memories, But ever changing, ever new. Tony, as we know her, is the quiet and sophisticated type. She possesses a neat appearance in dress. She is a fine partner for danc- ing, as we have seen. Tony's plans for the future are quite inter- esting. She wishes to be a traveler and visit the mysterious and won- derful places of the world. If she tires of traveling, her next stop will be in the field of nursing. Dramatic Club 4. Priscilla Ann Lufkin Her dancing, graceful as a swallow's flight. Peter is quite an unusual girl, for she dances unusually well, has an unusual hobby, and an unusual ambition. Her pastime is to collect quotations on philosophy.

Hockey, French Club 2, Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Class Dues 3, Red and Gray 3, 4, Art Club 3. Anna Macchio No one but she and Heaven know of what she is thinking. Anna is one of those quiet, unassuming girls who seldom think about themselves but often about others. She has a three-fold hobby for she not only collects all kinds of interesting books but souvenirs and postcards as well. Her participation in school sports has been limited mostly to hockey but her interest in sports as a spectator is probably limitless. Anna is very efficient and plans to go into busi- ness as a life's work. Hockey 2, 3. Page 31
