BOULDER 1941 Roberta MacKenzie Edgerly What sweet delight a quiet life affords Roberta has been very quiet during her four years at high school, but those who know her find her full of fun. Stamp collect- ing and photography are her particular hobbies. Her industrious nature will surely help her to become a good dental hygenist. Dra- matic Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4. Lucy Katherene Erickson Sing away w noiv. ca l away care Lucy has a pleasing smile that lights up her face with friend- liness.

Volleyball, Basketball, Hockey 2, 3, 4 ; Aerial Darts 3 ; Ping Pong 2. Anna Virginia Farquhar She nobly earns whatever crown she wears Ginny is one of our star pupils and how sincerely we wish that all the praise due to hard-working, little-rewarded students might be accorded them. If it could be, Ginny should lead the parade of those who never ceased to work diligently to list their names among the honor students, and who always succeeded. Astronomy, amateur weather forecasting, and non-Euclidean geometry are her hobbies. To delve in astronomical and mathematical research is her ambition.

Doris Hildergarde Feltman Take life too seriously, and what is it worth Dot, who comes from Westminster, is a small girl with black hair and sparkling eyes. What she finds to do all the time up there is certainly a mystery, but we all know that it isn't spent at home with a book. Dot would like to be a hairdresser. Thelma Fisher Cheerfulness smoothes the road of life Thelma is an attractive girl and a good dancer. She goes in for sports, and skating is the favorite one. Collecting coins is her hobby. She would like to be employed as a beautician. Hockey 2; Basket- ball 2. 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4.

Clement Alfred Cotnoir Gee. but I'm a busy man! Clement is a very busy gentleman. Hs is an all-round sports- mnn and likes football and baseball as his favorites. His lively wit and quest for fun may make you the object of one of his harmless, practical jokes. To b:- a welder is his ambition. Armand Louis Demazure He is of leu leeii. but eldom heard As one of the quieter members, Armand did not take an active interest in any one sport. Perhaps if hockey were installed as an additional activity, he would have come out with flying colors, since this is his favorite winter sport. His future work may be turned in the direction of photography. Orest Demchuk He is simply and staunclol true to his duty Orest came from Chicago during his sophomore year. He is a member of a hunting club and collecting guns is his hobby. Perhaps at some time he has personally shown some of us to our seats at the Universal Theater where he works as an usher. Orest has already decided that he would prefer a white collar job. Raymond Lucien Denis The It ill to do, the soul to dare Ray is quite a sportsman. His father takes him hunting and fishing in New Hampshire as well as in Massachusetts. Spike's closest friend is Clarence Green. Ray's greatest desire is to become a machinist after he receives his diploma this June. Paul George Desjeans Worry never clouds his cheerful thoughts Paul is a big, husky lad with a cheerful countenance at all times. He collects books as a hobby which probably accounts for his love of school. His favorite sports are hunting and fishmg. Although he may appear to be quiet, his fri;nds will assure you that he is a real gloom chaser. Arthur Arnea Dicker Filled uilh quiet strength Arthur is a quiet member of our class, who spends most of his time playing football, basketball, and hockey. He can be seen many afternoons at the Reipas Gym playing basketball with his friends. As for ihe future, his plans are not yet definite. Michael Angelo DiConza Only so much as I knou so I hare lived Mike is a medium built fellow with black hair and dark eyes. His hobby is photography. Football and basketball are two of his favorite sports. He is an active member of the Junior Sons of Italy Lodge. Rockie Pasquale can usually be seen with him and vice versa. Mike has hopes of joining the Navy. Michael James DiGeronimo The secret of success is constancy of purpose Michael is one of the sturdier members of our class. The fact that he is interested in good bands and popular orchestras must mean that he is musically inclined. He works as a clerk at a market in Leominster. Although his plans are indefinite, aviation appears to be his main interest. Class Ring Committee 3; Councilor 4; Dra- matic Club 4. Page 20

BOULDER 1941 Edwin Clififord Duncan None but himself can he his parallel Edwin, or Dune, plans to follow his high school course with study at a technical school. Some of his spare time is spent in photography. He is a membsr of the Y.M.C.A. Golfing seems to interest him and he is also one of the mainstays of our tennis team. Dune will always be liked for his bright, broad smile and amiable character. Basketball 2, 3 ; Tennis 2, 3, 4. Raymond Wilfred Dupuis He wants a line all his own Ray's pet hobby is taking snapshots of unsuspecting persons, especially teachers. Although he was not a participant in school activities, he enjoys bowling, skating, and best of all, camping. Tele- phone work interests him, and he hopes to be a lineman. Kenneth Ray Durling An honest man' s word is as good as his bond Kenney was a part-timer for Miss GifFord and Mr. Dufour. His cheery personality has helped him to get many customers for his Sentinel paper route. His ambition is to be a first class machinist m the Navy. Assistant Councilor 4. Paul Allyn Ekengren A keen wit, a wise look, and an ansu'er always ready Paul is a calm person who remains poised in all circumstances. He has been a member of our band for the last two years and be- longs also to the Junior Legion Band. Outside of school he plays in three orchestras and collects pictures of swing bands. It sjems probable that Paul will continue in the line of music. Band 3, 4. Jarl Vesa Elo Success follous earnest effort Jarl is definitely interested in sciences, especially those dealing with electricity. He intends to be a pioneer in the uncultivated field of electrical warfare. Swimming and hiking lead all others as his favorite sports. Despite his many interests, Jarl is a very modest person. Kenneth Irving Emerson Talent is that ivhicl} is a man's power Kenney, better known to his friends as Skinny, is one of those individuals who can't keep still for a minute. He is interested in sports, mainly baseball and soccer. His hobbies are drawing and freehand art. Kenney hopes to become a commercial artist some day. Henry Joseph Erickson Dignified and tall was he, as much a man as one could be Someday Henry is going to be deplorably rich for he has a wonderful coin collection that should bring in quite a bit of money if he should ever cash it. Henry has been one of Miss Peabody's ablest stage hands. The air corps will be much the gainer in a few years, for Henry plans to enter after two years at college. Stage Hand 3. Clifford George Ey A friendly chap who is widely known Cliff usually greets people with a broad smile and a friendly Hi. We think that perhaps someday he will take Professor Quiz's place because he has an unusual faculty for asking questions. Ask any one in his chemistry class. Although Cliff did not take part in many school activities he took an interest in school functions and supported most of them. Page 22
