Ruth Magdalene Gove Ruth seems to be one of the people who have managed to stay out of the lime¬ light,” during her high school career. Xot that she isn ' t popular, because she is. Too, she seems to be ambitious, for many of us have seen her at work in one of Greenfield’s most popular stores. Ruth is planning to stay at home next year and work. After that she will probably go away to school. Roger William Tubbs Grant Second Team in Basketball (4); Class Team Basketball (3); National Oratorical Con¬ test (3); Track (4); Pro Merito. Roger is the quiet, sombre student who carries an armful of books around to his various rooms each day. Basketball was Roger’s main attraction in the winter, and this year he received quite a bit of publicity through his excellent playing under the coaching of Mr. Thompson. Roger did creditable work in the National Oratorical Contest last George Lewis Gregory, Jr. Hi-Y (3), (4), President (4); Student Council (1), (3), (4); Cheer Leader (4); Class President (1); Business Manager of Exponent (3); Business Manager Year Book; Pro Merito. Personality backed by enterprise and willingness to be of assistance has made George one of our most-liked boys in school. Being especially bright in mathematics, he is an expert in figures and, of course, this makes him a favorite with the girls. A born cheer leader, he has been followed faithfully by the whole school body. Next year George is going to the Bentley School of Accounting to learn more about “figures,” and we hope he docs as well there as he has here. “Marge” Dramatic Club (2), (3); Exponent (Ass’t Editor Journalism B) (3), (4); Glee Club (3); Varsity Basketball (1), (2), (3). “Marge” has quite a list of accomplishments to her credit. For three years she played “side-center” on the girls’ varsity team, aiding them by her fast, accurate playing. She has been the school reporter for the “Recorder,” besides being on the Exponent Staff. Marguerite is going in training as a nurse in the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital next year. Best of luck, “Marge”! T homas Ford Harris “Tommy” Commercial Club (3); Student Council (3); Football (1), (2), (3), (4); Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Track (1), (2), (3), (4); Band (3), (4). Tommy is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky fellow, whose wise-cracks will be greatly missed by his classmates. His true ability lie ' s in athletics. Tommy, as a three-sport man. who was captain of the track and basketball teams in his senior year, holds eleven letters, the largest number in the class. All Tommy’s time is taken up practicing either athletics, trumpeting or dancing. Can he dance! He hasn’t decided where he will go to school next year, but we all know he will make good. year.

Henry Herbert Franklin Hi-Y (4); Science Club (2), (3). (4); French Club (3); Biology Club (2), (3); Ass’t Baseball Manager (3); Pro Merito. Anyone who has the blues should consult Henry Franklin for he is the champion dispeller of these sad and infamous peace-disturbers. It would keep you in fits all day long to see him go through his antics and tell you his jokes. Henry is a social lion, too, and is always going to places and doing things. He plans to go to Worcester Tech next year to take up some branch of Chemistry. Who knows but what he might end up as a bigger and better Fred Stone? But whatever he docs we hope he comes through. Chester Leroy French Basketball (4); Track (4). “Chet” was a recluse until his last year in school, when he burst forth in all his glory to become a social lion, a basketball player, a member of Hi-Y, and a member of the Senior Class. We don’t know, but we think those frequent trips to Bernardston had something to do with it. Chester has done well all through school, and he is liked by everyone who knows him. A bit undecided about next year, he is toeing the mark, raring to go, but he doesn’t know where to go. We know though, that whatever he does, he will show the good training we give them in G. H. S. Ruth Amelia Galusha Spanish Club, President (3); Awards in typewriting; Pro Merito. Ruth is the girl we all have seen in the office. For some time during her afternoons she has been helping Miss Summers. Each morning she comes to us from beyond Rocky Mountain with her smile and shy, “hello!” Ruth is interested in the great commercial world and has received not a few honors for her good work in high school. She intends to carry on next year in Northampton Commercial College. Julius Lawrence Gould ' Julie ' ' Journalism (4); Senior Play; Hi-Y (3), (4); Science Club (3), (4); Public Speaking Contest (3) (First Prize); Senior Dance Committee; Year Book Staff; Pro Merito. Will wonders never cease? The wonder is that Greenfield High School should be lucky enough to have such a witty, brilliant example of modern youth as Julius. What would we have done in our morning assemblies if we had not had Julius to impart his noble, wholesome advice? There never could be another quite like Julius, because we know that his sayings and actions are original. He has always been at hand to decorate the gym for the dances! As some people are considered the “life of the party, so Julie” may be thought of as the “life of G. H. S.” “Dot Doris is a person who is always glad to help when she can. She has worked steadily for the past six years in Woolworth’s. Her future is undecided, but we know that she will succeed in her chosen work just as she has succeeded as a clerk. Best of luck, Doris. Doris Emma Gove Commercial Club (3).

Dorothy Marian Hodgen “Dot” French Club (1); Spanish Club (3); Basketball (1). From all appearances, Dot is very quiet, modest, shy, and all that. Don’t believe it. Appearances are deceiving. You just don’t know her. When “Dofify” feels ..I. she 1( ' H iOiil good, and puts all the pop in tho world into what over sho is doing. Gonorallv, that thing will be having a good time; that is her specialty. The “Undertaker’s Daughter’’ is a corking chauffer-otto. When the gang wants to step out, “Dot” is right there with the goods, so to speak, whether it ' s a Ford or a Willys Knight. Wilbert Daniel Horrigan “Bill” Commercial Club (3); Hockey (1), (2), t4); Baseball (1), (2), (4); Football (1), (2) (3), (4). Who is there in Greenfield High who does not know this stocky, good-natured fellow or who has not ridden in one of his Fords? His good nature has stamped him as one of the most popular boys in school, and there is hardly a town around this part of the country that has not had a chance to admire his permanent wave. In athletics, “Bill” played football, hockey, and baseball, being a real star on the gridiron. Bill’s hobby used to be Fords; lately it is taxi-cabs. Happy-hunting, “Bill.” Lucille Margaret Hyde “Lou” Commercial Club (3). No. you didn’t hear her name on the honor roll every time. But what does that prove? She thinks that experience is more valuable than book knowledge, and also more easily acquired. Of course, wherever you see Lucille, you see her side kick “Dolly.” When one can’t think of something interesting to do, the other can. Teamwork, you know. Naturally , Lucille has many friends, as a result of her happy-go-lucky disposition. She and Dolly would like to ornament Wilfred Academy next year. Here’s to your success. Kenneth Randall Jillson Kenneth is our class room humorist. If classes were going dull or if a witty remark was necessary, he was there with a timely word. Most of you know that he is another of the Millers Falls crowd. While in Millers, he works on a paper route. Kenneth is un¬ decided about the future, but we know he will be successful. Good luck, Kenneth. Evelyn Axelia Johnson “ Evie ” Pro Merito. “Evie” is one of our few quiet girls, but those who are acquainted with her know that she has one of the most pleasing personalities in school. Her smile is always in evidence and we enjoy hearing her cheery greeting as we meet her in the corridors. “Fade’s’ smile and plea stmt attitude seem to be the secret of her charming sell.
