82 Pleasant Street, RUTH FORSTER LYON Leominster, Massachusetts A silent woman is always more admired than a noisy one. Ruth returned to us for her fourth year rather reluctantly. Soon she found that the new attractions of our class outshone those of Princeton, and now we find Ruth a loyal supporter of J. H. S. IV. She has proved a valuable member, always ready to do her share whenever called upon. Ruth can always be depended upon to find the most interesting literature, and we ask her advice before making our choice of a new book. We hear that Ruth is quite a cook — and she doesn ' t deny it. Possibly she intends to become a Cooking teacher, or it might be that she realizes that such ability is an advantage along another line. If you are looking for Ruth, she can usually be found in the locker room answering questions on cooking-recipes. We are sure that the success which she has already started will follow her through life. Women ' s A. A., Day Girls ' Association, Hockey. IRENE ELLA McCOLLESTER 16 Nashua Street Ayer, Massachusetts The secret of success is constancy to pier pose. Irene came back to us after having taught for two years, to give us the benefit of her experiences in the field. She is one of our studious commuters who manages to get here every morning regardless of the weather. Whatever Irene undertakes we know will be successful be- cause of her earnest and untiring efforts. As for professional attitude, she surely has It. Women ' s A. A., Day Girls ' Association. MARY DOMINICA MULLEN 17 Pacific Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts She looks as clear as morning roses newly wash ' d with dew. Everyone knows Our Mary. Who could escape being captivated by her charming sociability, her frank, friendly smile, her blue eyes, sparkling with mischief, and her contagious joy of living? Her en- tertaining conversation and ever-ready wit have made her immensely popular with everyone. One needs only to glance at her dance program to be assured of this. Mary is our shining light in athletics. When we first entered Normal we hailed her as Helen Wills ' successor. Since then, by her whole-hearted enthusiasm she has won for herself a place on all of our athletic teams. We know that Mary will have no need of hanging a horseshoe over her door, for if versatility and personality are attributes of success, Mary ' s ship will be brimming over with happiness and good fortune.

UNA E. JACKSON 1 Winter Terrace Fitchburg, Massachusetts Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. This pretty lass is one very good reason why gentlemen prefer blondes. Una ' s sweet manner has won the love and admiration of her classmates and we depend upon her to manage the class and carry on recitations when our teachers leave us. Only Una, in her gentle way, could persuade this class to come to order, and before anyone realizes it, we are an enthusiastic, willing group under her leadership. Her services to J. H. S. IV have been invaluable. Una also has much athletic ability, but duties keep her from entering into many of our activities. Una is so anxious to grasp her diploma that she has counted the days since Christmas, and informs us each day as to how many are left until graduation. Una, we wish you success and joy in your work. Women ' s A. A. r Treasurer Day Girls ' Association ' 25, Bowling, Hockey, Track. HELEN KEENA 781 South Main Street Attleboro, Massachusetts As prone to mischief as able to perform it. Helen is Twenty-seven ' s best bet. Attractive, witty, good natured, bright — what more could anyone want? Because of her charming personality she has made many true friends during her three years at F. N. S. Her popularity among both sexes is unquestionable, as we see her at any social affair or outside of school hours. As for being a good sport — it is undeniable. Outside activities hold their charms for Helen, for she may be seen on the soccer field or engaged in some other outdoor sport. Even though she is in all sorts of pranks, she finds time to go to the library and charge books that no one else in the school would think of reading. She surely will make good. All success is the wish of Twenty-seven for you, Helen. Dramatic Club, Soccer, Hi king, Basket Ball, Women ' s A. A., Stu- dent Government Association, Saxifrage Board ' 27. HELEN E. LONG Shelburne Falls Massachusetts A shy face is better than a forward heart. Have you noticed a tall, dark-eyed girl, quiet and unassuming, walking through the corridors? That is Helen Long, a good worker and a good sport. No other could take her place in Palmer Hall or in the J. H. S. IV class. For if you look closely there is a merry twinkle in those quiet brown eyes which betrays a nature full of fun and good humor. Helen is much interested in sports and has considerable ability as a basket ball player. Her report cards would also indicate the fact that she is a conscientious student. Those best acquainted with her can assure you that she is a true friend and a charming companion. Here ' s to your success as a school teacher, Helen. Women ' s A. A., Student Government Association, Hockey, Hiking, Basket Ball, Soccer.

103 Albee Street RACHEL ANN MURRAY Rae Fitchburg, Massachusetts The rising blushes which her cheeks o ' erspread, Are opening roses in the lily ' s bed. Rachel hardly realizes how greatly those troublesome blushes have helped to win our hearts. When we returned to school for our fourth year, we were all delighted to find that this sweet little miss was to be one of us. She has indeed become one of our sincerest friends. Each of us wish that she might be near us for many years to tell us a story now and then in the captivating way that only Rachel has. When she recites, the class immediately becomes absorbed in Rachel and her story. Outside of class we find the same sincere little Rae with all the sparkle and pep that add to her attractiveness.

CHARLOTTE PAULINE O ' BRIEN Obie 36 Blossom Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts The village athlete you here will meet; In all kinds of sports she knows no defeat. Charlotte, the third member of the triumvirate, is one of the most studious of our class. Charlotte can be depended on at all times, and more than once has saved the day for the less studious by her fifty minute reports. Her ability as a public speaker was evidenced by her Assembly talks and in Mr. Parkinson ' s classes. Charlotte was very loyal in going out for all athletics and excelled in all sports. Best of luck, Charlotte. Women ' s A. A., Halloween Party Committee, Hockey, Soccer, Women ' s A. A.-Men ' s A. A. Revue, Bowling, Basket B all, Tennis, Track. WALTER JOHN PATON Walt 34 Hancock Street Fitchburg, Massachusetts Of their own merits, modest men are quiet. Walt is a very quiet and unassuming youth and was never really known to any save those in his J. H. S. class. He has proven that he is a friend worth having by his aid to his classmates. His wit and humor are in evidence in every class and it is not strange to hear a voice break out in class with some new version of the subject. Walt and his partner, Male, have the reputation of putting the radical spirit into J. H. S. II and carried it right through this year. To you we can only wish every success and happiness in your chosen profession. Men ' s A. A.
