JOSEPH ADELORD BOUDREAU One I love, tivo I love, three I love. I say I Joe has been the mighty little manager of our track team and has also proved that he can play the smooth master of ceremonies at our assemblies.

His present ambition is to join the U. S. Naval .Mr Force. Tennis 3, 4; Band 4. RICHARD WILLIAM HOLROYD Not quiet, not loud, but noticeable in a crowd. We will all remember Dick as a happy-go-lucky, always humorous, oung man who wears his blond hair in a short crew-cut. His person- alit ' won him many friends and he was seldom seen alone, either in school or out. Rather than complete his senior year, Dick enlisted in the U. S. .Air Force. We wish him all the luck in the world both in the service and when he returns. Football 2; Ski Club 2. 30 Zhc Moulder - 1951 RICHARD PRENTICE HOPLEY Learning makes a man a fit companion for himself. Looking for someone who knows all the answers? Dick is the boy you want — his store of information is inexhaustible and amazing.

It has also been observed that his nice grin and blue eyes get him places in other than scholastic fields.

JACQUELINE LUCILLE HOULE In vain on study, time away ii e throw. We unanimously elect Jackie Miss Good-Nature of 1951.

A person with such a dis- position is an invaluable asset to her classmates. She will make a tine nurse in the future. Debating Club 4. STANLEY PHILIP HOWE, Jr. Worry never did a man good. It can be truthfully said that Stan is an all-around good fellow. He is the possessor of a jovial manner, and an everlasting wit, brought out by a hearty laugh. We understand that one of his summer pastimes is racing speedboats on Shirley Reservoir. Stan is a friend to all, which will be a great advantage to him when he becomes a florist in the future. THOMAS HENRY HOWSON Life's but a series of tricks. Tommy, a black curly haired boy, was more often seen than heard in the corridors. He belongs to the type which prefers to make its noise outside of school. In preference to rapid travel with his car, Tom gave up his hobby of roller skating, to some extent when he obtained his driver's license. As is true with many of us, he has no definite plans for the future. ARTHUR HUHTALA A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. Good humor and wit are Art's constant companions, which help make any stranger feel at ease. Listening to records (especially jazz and instrumental) is to him an enticing invitation for jitterbugging. Art's eye is on the Navy — a treat for all the boys with whom he'll be associated.

She has deep blue eyes, and very blond hair to add to her attractiveness. Being a great fan of high school sports, she was often in the midst of a crowd of girls at F. H. S. sports events. THEODORE ANTHONY JANUSKIEWICZ Strength and good nature go well together. If a poll were taken for the title of Worst Gi rl-Teaser of '51, Teddy would win in a walk. His height, clipped blond hair, and swag- gering walk make him the typical senior. He has his own chariot and has driven it to and from his home in Shirley every (or nearly every) day. Whatever else his future may hold, we know it will bring him many good laughs. Baseball 2, , ; Home Room Representative 4. PAUL FRANCIS JOACHIM Pleasure before work. A shock of carefully combed brown hair, a flashing smile — these are Joe's most striking attributes.

For her future plans, Mary- anna would like to become a stenographer. We know she will make a very fine one. ELMA MIRIAM KANG. S There is an indispensable charm about her. Great popularity may cause envy, but not in Elma's case. Everyone has something complimentary and flattering to say about this good natured girl with the impish smile. In her own sweet way she has won something definitely worth having — the warm friendship of everyone she knows. Her grades have been high and she has done equally well in the sports world. Blessed with such a personalitx', Elma. it is a delight to wish you good luck !

Patty's most notable asset is her wonderfully fair complexion in combination with those fascinating blue-brown eyes. She enjoys herself immensely in school days but has a serious streak, when it comes to the matter of studies. She plans to enter the field of nursing after gradu a- tion and our best wishes go with her. Basketball 2; Volleyball 3; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Home Room Representative 2; Junior Prom Committee; Boulder. JOAN PATRICIA KELLY Good nature is a special charm that wins a host of friends. Joan may appear very quiet to those who don't know her, but to her many friends she is a source of humor and entertainment. That ever-present smile is extended to all, and we think that she has serious moments only while on the basketball court. Joan is always very clothes- conscious, and neat appearing. In the future she would like to become a hairdresser, and we wish her every good fortune. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2.

A nonchalant manner, grand sense of humor, and devilish blue eyes have made Dan a favorite with his classmates. Blessed with typical Irish lightheartedness, he could use midnight oil on homework, but still bend his energy toward enjoying himself. Dan will probably enter the service after he is graduated. Junior-Senior Relay 3, 4; Track 4. STANLEY HOWARD KINSMAN, Jr. He was the mildest mannered man. In Stanley, one finds a quiet and good-natured character, which gains for him many friends. He is known to be a man of sense, and upon making a decision, he always weighs it with the best of judgment. Stanley's plans for the future are not clear, but judging by his con- quering personality, we know he will do well.

After graduation, Don would like to enter the Navy. Class Play ; Class Play Chorus. RONALD JOHN MAHONEY When you have nothing to say, say nothing.

HELEN FRANCISCA McDERMOTT Noise is not necessary for success. Helen will be remembered as the attractive miss with the long blond locks. At times she is so quiet one would hardly know she is present. It seems that her pastimes lie in the musical world — singing, dancing, and playing the piano. Having chosen nursing as her profession we surely hope Helen will be a brilliant success.

She's proven herself a fine assistant at Burbank Hospital. Marilyn deserves much happiness; we know she'll get it. PAUL ROGER MINDT Better late than never. Paul is ever quiet, carefree, and calm. Pleasant, unassuming, and friendly, he has made a lasting record as a good student, but a much l)etter one as a fine pal. In the years to come we will take pride in recalling our high school days in which reliable Paul has played a great part. Thanksgiving Dance Committee; Class Play Stage Crew.

As his occupation of being a truckdriver for his lather might suggest, he is of a husky and muscular build. His chief pleasure is derived from anything mechanical, and, to show for this, he has one of the smartest looking cars to be seen hereabouts. After graduation Leo plans to continue being one of his father's best truck drivers. 40 Zhe Moulder - 1951 NORMA LOUISE MONETTE She's as busy as the proverbial bee. Norma came from Lunenburg to complete her junior and senior years at F. H. S. — a transfer much to the Hking of her classmates here. Her sleek red hair is a true indication of a lively, peppy spirit, and her animation has brifihtened many a dull moment. We wish her much luck in the future. CYNTHIA JANET MONTONEN Fair to look on, nice to know. Cyn is noted for her big smile and cute little laugh which make her one of the most popular girls in the class of '51. She is always active and bubbling with energy, although sometimes she sits still long enough to do a little knitting. Cyn enjoys all sports, especially skiing and basket- ball. A smooth dancer, Cyn is never lacking partners. Her plans for the future are vague, but we think they may be on the domestic side. Right, Cyn?

Eddie is one of those few lucky persons who can delve into the m steries of a physics test and still come out on top. For that matter, his special honor marks put him on top of the scholastic heap in every subject. Intelligence like this should be frightening, but it's impossible to stand in awe of anyone with such a ready laugh. His special apti- tude in science makes him a candidate for Worcester Tech. Round Table 4. JOYCE NETTLETON will find a way, or make one. Diminutive size, glossy black hair, and a lovely pink-and-white com- plexion are Joyce's distinguishing characteristics (and very nice ones they are!).

Jim is the type of person whom we all enjoy knowing. Friendly, full of fun, and a great talker, he loves the rugged and adventurous life, and also has a leaning for military things. This fact is brought out very strongly by his interest in the Civil Air Patrol and intention of joining the United States Air Force after graduation. Junior-Senior Relay 3; Radio Club 4. PAUL EMILE PELOTE His interest extends in many directions. Casual acquaintances may think Paul a confirmed student.

This he enjoys, and heading his sports list are swimming and baseball. We understand Tom plans to go into forest conservation work, and we know he will reach his goal.

He is seldom seen without a broad grin and a mischievous twinkle in his eye, but also has a more serious side. His happy-go- lucky manner and terrific sense of humor account for his man - friends. One of Bob's favorite pastimes is riding horseback which he taught last summer in Ogunquit, Maine (he spends much of his free time there.) After graduation Bob plans to be a veterinarian. DENISE ELIZABETH PHANEUF In ev'ry sorrowing soul I pour'd delight. Pert and petite are the words to describe Denise. She wears a happy grin wherever she goes and although she is small, she never goes un- noticed. Denise works in Edson's Shoe Store part-time, but plans to be an office girl after graduation. ROBERT JAMES PHANEUF As long liveth the merry man they say, As doth the sorry man, and longer by a day. Here's a happy-go-lucky lad who never appears to be in a rush. Nothing ever disturbs the good-natured grin which has made him many friends in the past four years. Bob, as an usher at the Fitchburg Theatre, has been an authority on who dates whom — a subject he discusses with relish. His forte is mathematics and we hope he will do something along this line in the future, Junior-Senior Relay 3. BRUCE ALAN PHILLIPS Work, work, work, my labor never lags. Bruce, a resident of Westminster, traveled to F . H. S. every morn- ing in his car, which often ran out of gas or broke down on the way to school.

ELAINE RITA POIRIER Full of pep, easy to please. Zoom ! Down the basketball floor goes Elaine — her speed and st le the envy of all her gym class. She loves all sports, but this one in particular, and it's certainly apparent by the vim she puts into it. During her senior year her head of crisp dark curls was bowed over the library typewriter, for she served as a part-timer, assisting Librarian Mr. Dooley. Her dancing dark eves and explosive laugh make her fun to be with. We know these qualities will bring her happiness in her future life.

After being graduated, Paul plans to further his education either in school or by doing electrical work. ELSIE IRENE PURO And she was jair as is the rose in May.

He has an inexhaustible supply of jokes and is liable to start telHng one at any time or place. Football 2. EDITH REED ( is more wise to be a listener than say too much. Among the usual noisy crowd in high school, it is a relief to find someone who carries an air of calmness and quiet about her. Edith is such a person. Although more serious about her school work than some, her sense of humor doesn't seem to have been impaired by hard study- ing. Her pastimes include crocheting and knitting. Edith plans to continue her education after graduation. HAZEL ELIZABETH REMICK Music is my love. Hazel, talented songstress of the senior class, has a lovely soprano voice which is something to be envied. She plans to continue her study of voice; perhaps she'll be another Lily Pons.

We hope Ed fulfills his ambitions in future years, and we wish him much success. 49 Zhe Moulder - 1951 FRANK RUSSO He is a man of his own mind.

He was drafted while attending high school for service in 1944, and has now returned to get his diploma. Frank plans to attend Saunders School of Radio and Electronics after graduation, and we feel sure that he will be successful. RICHARD JOHN RYAN Life is a jest and all things show it I thought so once, but now I know it. Dick came to us in his junior year from the Harvard Street School. He is a tall, slender young man and very amiable. His favorite spcrt is basketball, in which his height is a definite advantage, and rating a c'ose second to basketball is baseball. He has participated in the Recreational League. His future is undecided, but he hopes to enter college. ROBERT SAMUEL SAARI Wise men say nothing in dangerous times. Bob immediately attracts attention in any conversation by his power to express his thoughts. He never does anything blindly nor in a hurry, and for this reason one does not soon forget him. He finds great pleasure in the theater and in art. Bob's fine marks assure him a successful four years in college.

JOSEPH HENRY ST. PIERRE Deeds, not words. Here is a student whose silent manner isn't to be confused with shyness. Joe's quietness is a good cover-up for a nature full of tricks. He is known for his good sportsmanship. Although his future plans are indefinite we wish him the best of luck. Junior-Senior Relay 3, 4; Track 4. JOSEPH HENRY SCHROTH am weary of days and hours, Desires and dreams of powers, And everything but sleep. Joe has traveled to us from the outskirts of the South Side, which may account for his tendency to take short naps in school. Although he may appear quiet, he is carefree, and always ready for a joke. Joe is very much interested in television repair work,, and plans to study it after graduation. Football 2. SO Zke Moulder - 1951 MARY ANN SCOLA Friendly and pleasant 'with always a song, Cheerful and merry the happy day long.

She is a peppy and a very lively girl, always on the go, and wearing an everlasting and charming smile. She has a different pair of argyles which she knitted herself for every day of the week. She will make a fine secre- tary for a lucky employer.

THOMAS JAMES SEAMANS, Jr. Be silent and safe. Silence never betrays you. Quiet good humor and reliability have made Buck's many friends count themselves fortunate to know such a person. As a member of the Vocational Course, he studied woodworking, but as a hobby he en- joys tinkering with cars. After graduation Jimmy plans to go to Worcester Trade School. Alternate Representative , ; Boulder. HERBERT SENN He must be known to be appreciated. Herby, possessor of a German clip and an excellent record in German, is a fine person to know. He has a deep bass laugh which we all heard very often both in and out of class. Frequently, Herb has been the center of attraction at the lunch period cracking jokes. Herb is firm in his decisions and will stand by them under all odds. His future is at this moment undecided.

Noted for her dancing ability, Carole has often proved her skill on the stage at F. H. S. Besides her active dancing roles she has done a great deal in planning and directing show numbers. Endowed with a lively spirit, she has been head majorette in our band for the past two years. Her brown hair and hazel eyes are quite a combination. Good luck, Carole, in your future plans.

Owner of a sort of wit. Bob has an ever ready train of jokes and humor, which he shares among his friends, especially in study classes. Bob's hope for the future is to travel to Florida where he plans to work. Junior-Senior Relay 3. 51 Zhc Moulder - 1951 PATRICIA JOY START Rather quirt, rather shy, but a twinkle in her eye. Happy blue e es and a lovely smile are characteristic of Patty, who is one of the leading candidates for the title Prettiest Girl of th? Senior Class. Contented, her calm rarely ruffled, she is much given to hum- ming softly to herself. Dancing and ice skating are her favcrite fcrms of recreation.

She is not only good looking, but also very intelligent and possesses much musical talent. We owe the success of many of our class functions to her fine work in accompany- ing on the piano. She is a hard working part-timer and will be a great success in the clerical field.

WILBUR RICHARD SMITH am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men. We all wish that we had more people like Smitty in our class. He is a jovial young man, seldom wearing a frown, unless it be in math or physics class. Everyone who knows Smitty, whether it be only slightly or down to his deepest secret, can count on him as a real friend. With his personalitx- and entertaining qualities, Smitty will forever be brightening up dark corners wherever he may chance to go. Junior-Senior Relay 4; Dramatic Club 4; Class Play Stage Manager. ELAINE ELIZABETH STANTON I chatter, chatter as I go. Red-headed Elaine has the talent of keeping everyone around her in gay spirits. To find this gal without a word to say is next to impos- sible. Elaine possesses a rare quality which is a good example for most of us. She does not mind working after school — in fact, she even likes it ! We wish her luture to be perfect in every way. Volleyball 3. JOHN STEPTON, Jr. His strength is not of muscle bred. Johnny is one of the many good-looking males in our class, with a special knack for sharp clothes. He has a friendly demand which accounts for his wide circle of acquaintances, both boys and girls. Con- stantly on the lookout for pleasure, Johnny drives a new Buick, and after graduation plans to continue in the footpaths of Henry Ford.

DANIEL FRANCIS STOBIERSKI To argue is sublime. Dan, a tall, slim fellow with a disarming smile, is primarily inter- ested in science. This subject wanders in and out during his speech at all times. Dan is very interested in sports, and proved his skill in them by winning the Amiott award in his sophomore year. Dan's interest in science does not greatly overshadow his interest in the opposite sex, of which he is a connoisseur. An honor student, Dan plans to enter Worcester Tech or the University of Michigan to study chemical en- gineering.

At the present time she is considering Colby Junior College. Debating Club 2, 3. S3 Zhe Boulder - 1951 JAMES HOLLIS THACHER The price of wisdom is above riches.

Here is a jolly fellow who is known throughout the school for his laughable and joking manner. Charlie makes it a point to be a neat dresser, and chooses clothes which show off his curly red hair. We understand he has a hidden vocal ability, unknown to many. Senior Prom Committee. MARTIN MELCHOR THOMA He was withal a man of elegance and stature. Marty's extreme height would be cause enough to make him notable among his classmates, but when that enviable stature is combined with his smooth, dark, good looks, the proper word to describe him becomes dashing. His record of championships in skiing is outstanding. Martin plans to attend Lowell Textile next fall and we wish him the very best of everything.

John spent many of his past summer months at the country club as a caddy. 5S Zkc Moulder - 1951 THERESA DORIS WALKONEN Cheerily greeting each oncoming day, Gilding with smiles each step of the way.

One of Evie's secret desires is to become a governess. JUNE THERESA WAUGH Silence is as great an art as speech. June always has a merry twinkle in her eyes and a radiant smile.

June is an enthusiastic volleyball and basketball player. . s a hobby, she collects pamphlets of famous geographical places throughout the country.

Horses and horseback ridinp figure largely in the life, and conversa- tion, of this pretty little blond. She looks almost fragile, but we suspect from tales of her out-of-doors activities in Ashburnham, that she is more wiry than she looks. Harriet plans to do a great amount of traveling in the future. RICHARD FRANCIS WY. TT Books are just records. Dick, being bitten by the camera bug, always took pictures of many of the school functions. His love for the commercial course is evi- denced by the fact that he always is absorbed in an accounting book. He plans to go into office work in our own citv. Mavbe vou'U be Citv Clerk, Dick.
