ROBERT JAMES GAETZ Initiative is doing the right thing without being told. Bob — a happy-go-lucky fellow — appears to be one of the quietest boys in our class. He always has a kind word for everyone, and can be seen working for Mr. Howard on the cash registers in the cafeteria. We hope he will continue to register the cash in the future. RITA THERESE GAGNE Laughter and I are the best of friends. Another quiet member of our class, Rita is well liked by all. She enjoys dancing and reading, but knitting is her favorite hobby.

Good music and dancing are two things which rate high with her. Cynthia's plans include office work. Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4. JOHN SINCLAIR GERMAINE With sparkling bits of humor, he drives the blues away. Jack, one of the well-known from West Fitchburg, never has a dull moment. He likes sports of all kinds, especially baseball and basketball. Also likes to dance and can be seen at all class functions. One notices him first for his sharp taste in clothes and sense of humor, but these are only two of Jack's fine qualities. We liked him so much we made him our Winter Carnival King.

A sizeable young man came to us from the city of Leominster and made known his desire to become trained as an auto-mechanic. When the track season opened during this young man's junior year, the coach knew that there was one fleet-footed boy he could count on. Cliff also did a good job on the basketball court. He had a special ability for football, and in his senior year made the varsity football team, playing well all season and gaining the name of Cliff, the flying halfback. With his friends and classmates behind him, he is bound to succeed in whatever he ventures. Good luck Cliff. Basketball 2, 3; Football 2, 3, 4; Junior-Senior Relay 3; Track 2, 3; State 220 yd.
