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.

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.

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

Norman Belding Lyons An honest man is the noblest work of God. How a hobby may develop into a life's work is shown in the case of Norman.
