Somebody ought to aiipoint “Bill” official jester of the Senior Class. He knows more about jokes than all the rest of ’31 put together, and he has managed to keep the class in hysterics almost all the time. There is al.so a serious side to “Bill. He has been promi¬ nent in the musical acti ' ities of the school as well as in athletics and Hi- Club. He is a cheerful and oiitimistic little volume of jokes. “Bill” plans to atteaid Maine University next year and take up forestry and we know the country will be overgrown with trees in a few years.

And how she always iilanned for those conventions! Fun, weren’t they? By winning a newsiiapcr contest she added once more to her laurels. Besides all these acti ities, Minnie has kejit her scholanshi]) in ranking with the highi ' st. Lots of luck next year, Minnie. -H Sheldon Pratt Bliss “Shelly “The 7ioblcst mind the best contentment has.” Year Book Staff (4): Student Council (1).

What of importance for the good of the school has happened that “Shelly” hasn’t had something to do with? The answer is almost nothing. If something needs an efficient manager, or if some important committee needs a chairman “Shelly ’ is the one to till the jiosition. He has m t been too busy however, to neglect the attrac¬ tion in the office. G. H.S. wishes him as great success in his future undertakings as he has had the past four years.

' ‘Bill” William Baxter, Jr. “It is (I poor sjxirt (hat is not n ' orth the candle.” Hand (3). (4); Science (1), (2), (3); Athletics, Bicycle Race (4). “Hill” is one of the quietest members of our class and iiarticipates in only a few of our activities because he makes his home in North Leverett. He likes siiorts and ho])es to continue to ])articipate in athletics. The girls of Cf.H.S. admire him because of his curlj- hair, so beware “Ifill” or girls will be your downfall in the future.

Anna’s first three years in high school didn’t give anyone much chance to really know her. In that short time she was only a rose-bud. In her Senior year she became a fully blossomed rose.

Zelda Elizabeth Bernstein Zelda “Patience is a virtue.” Si)anish Club (2); Commercial Club (4); Glee Club (4). Zelda is that (piiet Senior who works hard ami seldom comi)lains of her work.

H.S. wishes her the best of luck and success wherever she may go ami in whatever she undertakes. Leonard Raymond Berry Len” “To he trusted is a greater coniplinient than to be loved.” In the past few years “Len” has been seen almost entirely in the comijaii}- of a little blonde girl. They have become familiar figures in and about school, and they always seem to have so much to talk about. Besides being “Til’s” constant companion and a conscientious worker, Leonard is everyone’s friend. The class of ’31 wishes him the best of luck. Mary Isabelle Berry “Scotty” “How much lies in laughter?” ' I ' ypewriting Awards. Mary Berry has come to us for four years from Millers Falls. Mary seems to have magic in her fingers from the looks of her typing records. She is very popular among her clas.-jmates. and is very active in dancing, driving, swimming, and tennis. She finds (.Jreenfield rather attractive. 17

Here he is! Who hasn’t heard or known of onr ‘“Johnnie”? He is that tall broad- shouldered, (piiet yet witty person, who did such splendid work on the football team. His pals are many and he always manafies to keej) them laughing. John is always in evidence at the Senior jiarties with his “inspiration.” and just ask him sometime if he knows how to back a car into a fire hydrant. The best of luck at Deerfield, “Johnnie.” John Joseph Bowe “Happy am I; from care am 1 free “Jack ' Football (2), (3), (4); All Valley Bight End (4); All County Right End (3), (4). “Jack” is that big stra])])ing “soda jerker” who helped firing the football team through many ictories. esjx ' cially those Turni ' rs’ games, ’hat would w( ' do without that broad grin and those snappy remarks? I ' hen wo must add those “storm windows” and the manner which they attracted the “femmes.” “Jack” always manages to get his beauty sleep, which perhajts exphiins his fretpient isits to the office alter S:10 a.in.

Walter John Broughan, Jr. Walter “So p(dienl, peaceful, loyal, loving, pure.” Ifa.sketball (2); Science C ' lub (2). We have had Walter in our mid.st for four years, but have hardly known the fact because he is .so (piiet. . s a member of Room 14 he has been carrii ' d along by the activitii ' s of the cla.ss of ' 31 and has helped in his own way, even if we haven’t known or recogniz( ' d him. He is girl-shy, but perhai)s the future will tell the story.
