4 T ff Lee Leland George Cote ‘‘A merrier ))i(in I never spent an hour ' s talk withal.” Honor Koll (1), (3). (4); “Hod Owl” (3); Draiuirtic Clul) (2), (3), (4); Scioiicp Chih (3); Latin Club (4); Junior Prize Hjieakinp: (3); Debatint; Club (4). Vice-prct idcnt (4). The one boy on whom we can depend to make classes interesting is “Lee.” He is very clever and witty in his sayings and always brings up some enjoyable subject for class discussion. When we have oral topics we all await “Lee’s” eagerly, for he is sure to talk the whole i)eriod and be so entertaining that the teacher likes it ami does not think to tell him to stoj). “Lee” enjoys dramatics and has taken part in many plays and also in the Junior Prize Si)eaking. We know that he will keep up the good work and be very successful in the future. Ellen Elizabeth Crowningshield Ellen “Content to do the best u ' ork to preserve her own difpiity And leave the rest to the future.” Lllen is that tall shy girl who does so well in whatever she undertakes. True, she may be silent and shj ' , but, as actions si)eak louder than words, so LJlen’s work in school and outside sjieak louder than her words. Efficient, kind, punctual—that’s Ellen. So, with these many good qualities of yours, Ellen, may you be as successful after High School as you have been here. Helen Beatrice Curtis Helen “To hear her sjicak, a)id sweetly smile You are in Paradise the while.” Helen is interested in her work, which is commercial, and thinks she will continue along this line in the future. During her four years in High School, she has been rather quiet, jireferring her old friends to any new ones she might have found. She has been a diligent worker and a steadfast friend, and all her classmates will miss her in the future. Here’s haiipiness Helen. Avery Harrison Demond Ave” “I am in earnest anil I will he heard.” A.ssistant Business Manager of Exponent (2); Business Manager (3); Science Club (4); Honor Roll (1). (2). Avi ' ry is the shoit (?) stocky (?) Senior who never enjoys studying, but who has a ( ' ry great craving for slijis which invite him to keep company with the Principal in Room 23 for one hour. Dviring his Ereshman and Sophomore years he seemed to like his ti ' achers for he attimded his classes, but during his last two years something went wrong for he attimds wlu ' ii he wishes. Avery intends to study at Deerlield Academy next year. Our Ix ' st wishes are with you, Aveiy. 3 Mary Josephine Donovan ' ‘May” “Youth holds no society with grief.” ' i ' yiiewriting Awards; Spanish Club (2); (dee Club (1), (2), (3). Alary is another one ot our successful (’ommercial Department misses. Everyone has seen her tall, queenly figure in our corridors many times, for she is the n-cijiient of many admiring glances as her clothes are right up to the minute. Did anyone ever see “May” when she didn’t look smart”? As a manneiiuin she can certainly make a big success, but in whatever she undertakes we wish her the best luck. 24

Tlii.s lively, liapiiily humored youn lady came to us in the middle of our Junior Year from Dover, New Hami)shire. It is reported by the opi osite sex that she is a fairy to dance with. Her ambition is to be a I)omestic Science teacher. We wish her luck in this resi)ect. Althoutih “Hetty” has })ecn with us but a short time, there is hardl}- a person not accpiainted with her. Helen Etta Comins Helen “A good friend is a ])rccio s thing.” KemiiiKton Certificate (1); dec Club (4); Orchestra (D; Honor I’oll. Helen comes to us fi’om Millers Falls. Her main talent is music, and it is as bad as tryinfj to follow a streak of li htninfj as to follow her flying finfjers on the luano. One way bj ' which she can always be identified is by her wholesome laush. Helen is i)lan- ning to go into nursing after she graduates. “The joy of youth and health her eyes display, An ease of heart her every look cotn ' cycd.” Honor Koll (1), (4); Cirls’ Varsity Basketball (3); Girls’ Athletic Ad i.sory Board (4); Feature Writer of Exponent (3) ; School Editor (4) ; “A Pair of lamatics” (3) ; Peggy in “. ll-of-a-Sudden Peggy” (4); “Belle of Barcelona” (2); “Pinafore” (3); Year Book Staff (4); Dramatic Club (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4). “Peg” is one of the most versatile members of the Senior Class for, besides being a clever actress, she is also an accomplished dancer, jtianist, basketball jJayer, and an all round good si ort. She proved her dramatic ability when she played the role of Peggy in the Senior Plaj’, “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.” Often is she seen accompanied by a young man, formerly of G. H.S., but now a .student at Fordham. Probably the College of New Rochelle will be graced bj- this 3 ’oung lad ' ’s presence next 3 ' ear, but whatever 3 ' ou do, “Peg,” the best to you. Geneva Condraski “Jennie ' “A friend to one and all, a helping ready at your call.” Tvpewriting Awards; Shorthand Certificates; Commercial Club (1), (2), (4); Spanish Club (2). IW just glancing through “Jennie’s” list of achievements, it is eas 3 ' to sec that most of her time has been used in the commercial department. She has added much life and spice to the Commercial Club this last 3 ' ear, ami much of the success of its meetings are due to her. In whatever she undertakes, hero’s wishing her “the best o’ luck.” Margaret Mary Connors George Henry Coombs George “IFc grant although he had much ivit, lie was very shy of u.dng it.” George is our big he-man who hails from Bernardston. He is a good natured and joking . ;ort of a fellow. We hear that George is (juito a basketball player, having ])layed for the North Parish Scouts. Be. idos this, he has attended some social events at the Parisli. Gooil luck for the future, George. 23

Ralph Malcolm Duncan “All Ins faults arc such that one loves him still the better for them. Football (4); Class Haskotball (4). Kall)h is just another one of those hoys who can not see the usefulness Although he has made nood in his studies, no one seems to know the reason wondei if it. was Haljih who tried to “skij)” school bv .sending in an (unjity ei the correspondence school? In his last year he attempted to be “sporty” ' bv the gentle pastime of football and class basketball. Uiion asking Kalph if continue his studying his answer was, “Maybe vcs and maybe no.” Bruce Ellis Bruce “Ask me no cjuestions and I ' ll tell you no fibs. By some i eople lie is known, but by others he is just another — boy. If you wish to nieet him, the ne.xt time you hear a loud noi.se, like a street tight, go there and you’ll s( ' ( ' him. His middle name is “noisy.” He either came of his own free will and accoi ' d, or was sent to us from the little school across the river in his Junior year. “Ray” of books, why. Ve ivelope to taking uji he would Ada Jennie Elmer “Ade” “Alu ' a s doing something good.” Spanish Club (2); Commercial Club (2). Ada’s smiling disposition will be greatly mis.-jed next fall. She is one of thoi e (piiet (?) Seniors who make the Senior corridor sound like a scene at a jirize light. She is another graduate who doesn’t have free love for her books, but .she did rpialify for the Spa nish and Commercial Clubs. Whatever 3 -our future may be, Ada, here’s luck to ' OU! Warren Ellsworth Facey Warren “Zealous yet modest.” Hi-Y Club (3), (4); Band (2). (3), (4); Orchestra (4); As.sembl v Orchestra (4). Warren believes in being seen and not. heard, except on his sax. He has done a great deal for G.H.S. in a musical way and is a erv hard worker in eveiything he does. He seems to be a woman-hater around .school, but i)( ' rhai)s that’s becau.se she’s not a Senior too. Although Warren ' s future is, as j’et, undecided, we all wi.sh him heaps of success. John Failla “Johnny” “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” “Belle of Barcelona” (2); “Pinafore” (3); “Pejuta” (4); Hi-Y (2). (3).

He has alwa.vs been a strong suiiporter of our teams and a good friend to eveiwone. “Johnn.v” has done a lot of hard work for the dance committee and the best part of the gvm decorations were usualB ' his brain-children. He is one of tho.se happ 3 ’-go-luck} ' fellows whom eveiwone likes. 25
