JAMES F. DENEEN Jimmie 40 Sanborn Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts Frankness is a virtue. Jimmie is one of the most popular boys to be found in F. N. S. His subtle humor and brilliance of thought have endeared him to all his classmates. Jimmie is frank, but this characteristic has only gained him new friends. Jimmie has a sound philosophy of life based on life as he finds it but still retaining his ideals. His word is usually the final authority on all subjects taken up at conventions of delegates over at Normal Spa. Jim should know by this time that he will be missed by the Juniors, who often mistake him for a faculty member. We verily believe that Jimmie was the inspiration for the song For he ' s a jolly good fellow. Wherever you go, Jimmie, rest assured that you carry with you our sincerest wishes for the best of luck in every- thing you undertake. Men ' s A. A., Mohawks, Debating Council. 47 Exeter Street EMMA E. DUMAIS Fitchburg, Massachusetts A stout heart may be mined in fortune; but never in spirit. Whenever one of J. H. S. IV ' s recitation periods is in danger of becoming boresome, as if inspired, Emma cheers us up by saying some- thing humorous. Emma is a good sport and everyone who knows her likes her. Some of us would be lost if we didn ' t depend on Emma to consult when we give oral talks in French. Emma is always will- ing to give a helping hand to anyone. To one of the faithful mem- bers of our class we wish the best of luck. Women ' s A. A., Day Girls ' Association. 33 West Street LESTER JOSEPH DYER Pop Clinton, Massachusetts Pop hails from Clinton, the home of great senators and still greater athletes. He has surely upheld the athletic end of the notoriety of Clinton. Who has heard of any athletic team of Normal during the last three years which did not contain the name Dyer? He shines as brightly as any star on our football, baseball, and basket ball teams. He served the Class of Twenty-six efficiently for two years as Vice- President and has also taken part in many plays and class activities. We will always remember Pop ' s masterful characterization of Brad- ley in the Mohawks play. Best of luck and success to you, Pop. Men ' 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.

lL yj l . jp MM PrK % ■ v HELEN GERTRUDE FEEN 18 Forest Street Whitinsville, Massachusetts That true and loving heart. Whenever we need advice we go to Helen, because she always knows what to do and when to do it. In Helen we find all the qualities of a good teacher — sincerity, sympathy, tact, and a sense of humor. Mother Nature smiled on Helen, and her beautiful unbobbed auburn tresses have drawn glances of envious admiration from less fortunate damsels. How many of us have emerged from a seemingly bottomless slough of despond ' with the aid of Helen ' s tactful, kindly sympathy. Although Helen is a diminutive young lady she will continue to do big things, and the most sincere good wishes of the Class of Twenty-seven go with her. Women ' s A.

GERTRUDE CATHERINE HANDLIN Gert 105 Harrison Avenue Fitchburg, Massachusetts Was there aught that I did not share In vigil or toil or case? Gert ' s loyalty to J. H. S. IV has never been questioned. Whether in the classroom, in the gym, or on the hockey field, she was always there, foremost in upholding the honor of her class. When Gert smiled upon us in ' 23, we realized, then, that we were indeed fortunate to list her as a pal. Time has proven how well we judged. Her success as a teacher both day and night, (honi soit qui mal y pense) has been well substantiated by Who ' s Who in Fitchburg. As an economist Gert has no peer. Ask her how she manages the coal prob- lem in that parlor stove! Do not forget J. H. S. IV, Gert, as we shall never forget you. Women ' s A. A., Day Girls ' Association, Hockey, Bowling, Women ' s A.

ELEANOR FRANCIS HUTCHINGS Hutchie 39 East Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts An inborn grace that nothing lacked Of culture or appiance — The warmth of genial courtesy, The calm of self-reliance. Eleanor has won our admiration as a faithful student who can always be depended upon to present something of interest in class. Her friendly personality, sincerity, and helpfulness have won her hosts of friends. Not only does Eleanor rank at the head of her class, but she finds time to devote to athletics. F. N. S. is proud to claim her as one of its own and is secure in the knowledge that she will do her very best to bring fame to her Alma Mater. Women ' s A.
