1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Karl Stetson Craig “Craigie” Class Treasurer ' Oh, he sits high in all the people’s hearts!” The man behind the bat is our Treasurer, Karl Craig, who has rendered the school great service in athletics. He played end on the football team and there weren’t many plays that M ent through him. Karl is also a lover of baseball and has played on the nine for four years. As a Freshman he played second base but his catching ability was brought to light in an emergency and he is still holding forth behind the bat. He acted as Mr. Baxter, the father of Willie Sylvanus, in our Junior Play and he certainly laid down the law to his young (?) son. We wish we might have had the privilege of seeing him in his dress suit but Willie had it on that night! Marion Viola Allen “Mary Ann” Class Blonde “Sweet gild graduate with her golden hair.” Marion Allen needs no introduction for she is one of the general favorites of the school and our class Paderewski. Marion put herself on the High School map when she started in her Freshman Year to play for the orchestra and Friday assembly. She has surely tried to give her best and has won a speaking part at graduation. In her Junior year she changed her name to Lola” but after two nights decided she preferred her original. Marion is planning to be a teacher after a course at Framing¬ ham Normal. One day, while speaking to Miss S. from Fram¬ ingham she asked if she would have any chance to get in the Glee Club. Miss S. said she could try at least. Not quite satisfied with this Marion questioned, “But what will they say if I can’t sing?” We know Marion’s pleasing personality will find favor with all. Marion Phyllis Angier “Mudge” Class Modesty “She is as constant as the stars.” Marion is one of our quiet little girls in school but as the result of a private investigation we learn that she is a different Vlarion outside. We have heard that all the Odd Fellows Dances find her in attendance, well looked after. Although small of stature she has no difficulty in handling the Study Hall traffic. So far she has come off without a scratch and that’s saying a good deal for, when eighty odd pupils surge out of one small door, there’s no telling what may happen— especially at the end of the last period! Her ambition is to enter the nursing profession and the Class wishes her well. 21

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Jeremiah Joseph Dolan “Jerry” Class President “A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.” When we organized our class in the Sopliomore Year, we chose Jerry as our Class President and he has served us well in that capacity for three years. Jerry made his first appearance as an actor in our Senior play ‘‘Adam and Eva”, taking the part of Dr. Delamater and he made a decided hit with the audience. He handled his clinical thermometer in a most professional manner and the way he tested John R’s reflexes was most amazing. How¬ ever he turned out to be a common fortune-hunter after all! In athletics, too, Jerry has played a leading part. He made some pretty catches in his position in left field, and he has also shown his grit in football. The school will miss him in more ways than one. Alice Evelyn Gaucher “Gooch” Class Vice President “She’s all my fancy painted her.” Can you tell us why A1 is so popular? We could tell you, but the reasons are so many we should never finish. As “Eva” in our Senior Play she made every heart in the audience flutter as well as Lord Andrew’s. We wonder if she is always as bashful as she appeared just before the curtain went down in the last act. Yes? Her business ability has made itself felt in the increase in attendance at the Marlborough Theatre since she took the ticket seller’s seat. Dashing down Rawlins Avenue to be at w ' ork on time is one of Gooch’s hobbies. Does anybody know the vacation dates at St. Anselm’s? Bye now, All Josephine Ruth Minehan “Joe” Class Secretary “Good humor and. generosity carry the day.” Sweet shades of recognized merit! Gertrude Ederle may think she’s “in the swim” but she takes her seat in a distinctly rear position when Joe Minehan appears. Joe has not been found wanting in popularity or ability as far as the class of ’27 is con¬ cerned. She has nobly recorded our class activities for three years and we, feel proud to admit that she never blundered. Josephine has ■ won a high place in the hearts of our girls, and boys. You don’t limit yourself to “our boys” either, do you Joe? With her many attributes and her few failings, Josephine certainly has proved a factor in our progress. May still more success attend her activities elsewhere. 20

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Evelyn Anna Auclaire ' ‘Ev” Class Dictionary “How forcible are right words!” One of the first things we were told when we entered this High School was to cultivate an extensive vocabulary. Evelyn certainly heeded this advice because, honestly, it seems as if she knows every word in the Dictionary. If you ev ' er find yourself hard up for a word ask Evelyn, she ' ll help you out. Not long ago she was seen carrying a French Dictionary. What next are you going to attempt, Evelyn. Evelyn plays the piano uncommonly well and has already made her initial appearance In the Marlborough Theater. For a few ' days this spring she entertained the rash Idea of leaving school but fortunately for our Class Book her good judgment triumphed and she is being graduated with us. Aren’t you glad you changed your mind, Evelyn. We are! At present Evelyn aspires to be a nurse and we sincerely hope that she will be able to realize her ambition. Jennie Alice Badavis “Jerry” Class Bright Eyes “An all around girl With an all around heart, From zvhom we all Will hate to part.” In every class there Is always a star and In the class of 1927 thaC star is Jennie. She excels In everything—just look at her report card if you don’t believe it. Because of her ability she has been given an honor part on the graduation program.-and is the Editor-in-Chlef of the Year Book staff. We mustn’t forget to mention that she has been one of the faithful girls w ' ho, directed our straying feet through the corridors,-—rather she prevented us from straying! Not much escapes those brow ' n eyes of hers! For diversion she drives a Buick, and the best part of It is that she is generous with her rides. Every once in awhile she takes a trip to Boston and we wonder what the attraction is. The matter should be looked Into Immediately! Bryant and Statton’s will w ' elcome Jennie in the fall. Bessie Eleanor Baker “Ellv” Class IDancer “But 0, she dances such a way, No sun upon an Easter-day, Is half so fine a sight.” Before w ' e turn to the lighter side of Bessie ' s history we must mention the fact that she excels in her school w ' ork and has won a graduation honor. She showed us her dancing ability wdien she appeared on the Assembly Hall stage last Christmas and turned and glided while W ' e marvelled at her grace. But dancing isn’t her only form of exercise. Who goes skating with you, Bessie.? Riding In a flivver she prefers to a ride in a Caddie,—but— love is senseless as well as blind,” they say. M. H. S. loses you, Bessie, to Bryant Sc Stratton’s advantage. Best Wishes! -
