BEATRICE MYRTLE BUTLER Bee Elm Street, R. F. D. 193 Leominster, Massachusetts Honors come by diligence. Beatrice is one of the conscientious girls of J. H. S. IV. When she faces her class next year they cannot help but like her. If amiable dispositions mean anything, Bee ' s ought to carry her far. How well has her punctuality and regularity in attending classes served as models for the rest of J. H. S. IV. She shows no interest in the men of our class, but as we know little of Bee ' s outside activities we think there must be a reason. The good wishes of the Class of Twenty-seven go with you, Bee.

John has the honor of being one of the few men from Fall River who have matriculated at F. N. S. During his three years here he has made a host of friends, both with the students and faculty. We are glad to say that although socially active his marks have not suffered and he has the reputation of being a student of high caliber in the J. H. S. class. The Class of Twenty-seven owes him a debt of grati- tude for his untiring efforts as Business Manager in making The Saxi- frage a success. You have everyone ' s best wishes for a bright future.

MALCOLM CONNOR Mai 47 Emerald Street Winchendon, Massachusetts Silence is as deep as eternity. Malcolm came to us from Murdock High in the heart of Toy town. However, he brought no childish pleasures with him and instantly impressed us with his mature wisdom. In many conservative minds Mai is classed as a radical because of a desire to banish things carried on the curriculum through tradition, but no one can deny that his arguments are logical and his motives sincere. Because he comes from a small town, some of us thought he would be a back number, but we soon found he was far ahead of us in most worldly matters. Boston is his playground, but Melrose also has a place in his heart. Although Mai shines in social circles he has by no means neglected his studies. Any of our faculty will bear witness to this fact. Mai may feel sure that when he leaves our midst he will leave many wonderful memories. Men ' s A. A.

FREDERICK E. ATKINS 1211 Main Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts Great oaks from small acorns grow. Teddy ' s greatest ambition is to be as tall as Lank, his running mate. Although Teddy is little he believes in doing things in a big way. Mr. Smith said that some day he will become a great scientist because he has a proving mind and inquiring disposition, two neces- sary adjuncts in this field. Teddy, although no giant, has a giant in- tellect, and is one of the shining lights of the school ' s most brilliant classes and has demonstrated very satisfactorily in gym classes that size does not make brawn. Teddy ' s talents are not limited to the gym- nasium or classroom for he is also a piano player of no mean ability and awes Miss Williams with his logical and convincing criticisms of the authors studied in class. Teddy can feel sure that on graduation day he will be missed by the many friends he has made at Normal and he can rest assured that he has their best wishes for success. Men ' s A. A. JENNIE POLLARD BLAISDELL Polly 166 South Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts True as the needle to the Or as the dial to the sun. pole, Polly is one of the most cheerful members of our class. No matter what the occasion, Polly is always ready to help anyone, even though it means staying up until the wee sma ' hours to do her own work. We sometimes wonder that Polly doesn ' t become a salesgirl for some dictionary, for she knows all the long words of the English language. Polly ' s only disappointment this year is that assemblies were not held every morning during a certain week of the first term. How about it? Women ' s A.

Thelma is one of our happy members. We can always rely upon her to be cheerful no matter how dull the day. We feel certain that her cheerful devotion to her pupils will always find instant recog- nition. As for athletics, we find our Thelma out for them all. We are sure that we couldn ' t find a better guard anywhere for our basket ball team. She never comes to class without a carefully-prepared lesson, and we wonder where she finds time to devote to her many interests. Oh, yes! Thelma has a very great interest in military activi- ties at Boston University. Thelma ' s love of children is sure to bring her success as a school teacher. Women ' s A.

fck,:w MARIE CORNELLIER 25 Pearl Street Ayer, Massachusetts With a heart of purest gold. The above quotation is suitable for Marie, as all her friends can say. Marie is a happy commuter and her cheerful voice and con- tagious giggle are often heard in the Locker Room as well as other parts of Normal. Marie exerts a very good influence on her com- panions (so Mr. H. says). Marie is always ready and willing to help those less fortunate than herself. Day Girls ' Association, Women ' s A. A., Glee Club, Hockey, Basket Ball. 9- MARJORIE LOUISE DANIELS Marge 1331 West Central Street Franklin, Massachusetts A true friend is forever a friend. To know Marge is to love her. One who has not shared her friend- ship is indeed unfortunate. One of her notable characteristics is her willingness to help others. How would our collegiate dormitory hops progress without Marge at the piano ? How would the Normal library keep up its good work without Marge on its staff? To the scholarly J. H. S. IV class she has proved an invaluable addition. You see, Marge is also a good student. Marjorie ' s most intimate friends would not have you forget that she is not without her share of mischief. This trait often reveals itself where it is least expected — so watch out for it. Her kind disposition and sweet smile assure her success as a future school teacher. All happiness and good luck to you, Marge. Women ' s A. A., Hiking, Student Government Association, Vice- President Geographic Society ' 27. HELEN LORETTO DELEA Blondie 18 Sanborn Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts Her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden fleece. Blondie, blue-eyed, dimpled, fun loving, friendly Helen. Who wouldn ' t love her? She is a true friend if ever there was one, and has unconsciously smoothed over many a rough spot by her ready smile and her willingness to hold a helping hand. Helen displays a great fondness for music and has never forgotten the time when she saw three doves a-flying. Helen did great things in teaching last year, and we know that she will continue to be successful. The sin- cere good wishes of the Class of Twenty-seven go with you, Helen. Women ' s A.
