1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Kva Anna Baldacci . “Eva” Class Senorita “To the stars through difficulties, To achieve fame in spite of obstacles.” Eva is our Spanish belle. We might wax poetic and add that she suggests beautiful Castilian laces, the whirl of a Spanish tango, or a guitar strumming a plaintive air below the veranda of a hacienda in the moonlight, etc., etc. In Ci II Government, Miss D. declares that Eva is her harshest critic. That is to say, Miss D. must be extremely careful to avoid big words”, inasmuch as they drive Eva almost to dis¬ traction. However. It is perfectly permissible for Miss D. to employ these words” with accompanying definitions. Eva then proceeds to commit these atrocities to paper, much to the great delight of the class. Due to these contributions, Eva has been able to compile a vocabulaiA ' of huge proportions. Anna Adaline Benson “Benny’ Class Dlgnity “0 lady, nobility is thine!” 10:15! Wliere ' s Anna Benson? Must be in the lunch room— not eating, of course, but merely encouraging others to do so. ' eH all buy if she would only sell her mother’s famous Angel Cake. .Anna likes the winter season because she can go sliding and we wonder why that pastime so fascinates her. In school she is always on her dignity and we should like to know how she manages to keep it flying down hill on a Flexible Flyer. She tells us she may go to the Sargent’s School of Physical Education and our best wishes go with her. Oliver Joseph Bisson “Bissy” Class Silence “Silence that zvhis zvhere eloquence is vain.” Bisson—the man who never talks—unless It ' s necessary! Oliver has not entered actively into school sports but has been a ver ' loyal supporter of all the games. He move; in that circle composed of our classmates who are able so successfully to meet and defeat advanced Bookkeeping. Ever faithful, we have always found him willing to do his part for class and school. He deserves the best of life and we wish him that best. 23

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! -

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Doris Marion Brodeur “Dot” Class Critic “Before ' proceeding further, let me speak.” How Dot loves to argue, especially in Secretarial Training with Mr. M. If Columbus were living she would try to persuade him that the earth was oval. But, for all that, she’s an amiable comrade and a willing worker. Dot has two envious advantages both inside and outside of school—her home is on the top of Prospect Street and her seat is near the door in Room 36, there¬ fore, she gets her beauty sleep without being late for school. Sometimes, however, she tries to become too beautiful and has to get an admission ticket. In the fall Doris intends to teach music for she is an excel¬ lent pianist, although she is very modest about it. We wish her all the success in the world. Anna Louise Browning “Ann” Class Smiler “Her smile was prodigal of summery shine ,— Gaily persistent—like a morn in June That laughs away the clouds.” Something’s wrong with Anna Browning when she isn’t smil¬ ing. Have any of you ever seen her when she wasn’t. With that winning smile she has broken many hearts and Wednesday night seems to be her specialty. Anna likes horseback riding, especially when she has company, and she isn’t above riding in a Ford. She surely did herself credit in the Junior and Senior plays. As Mrs. Baxter in “Seventeen” she was sweet and motherly; and this year as Aunt Abbie, the elderly social butterfly she seemed born to the lorgnette. She expects to go to Framingham Normal and we all wish her the best of luck. Keep smiling, Anna! Helen Aurore Bruyere “Helen” Class Demoiselle “A cheek tinged lightly and a dove-like eye; And all hearts bless her as she passes by.” A quaint girl, with a quaint personality, and a quaint way about her is Helen. In many respects, Helen reminds us of a sweet, rosy, cherub. We say this because she stands before us plump and small, with exquisitely blooming cheeks (undoubtedly natural). She has a “go” which is native to her; in short, she is a crucible of keenness, alertness, and vivacity. Helen is rarely at a loss for words in recitations; on the con¬ trary she dotes on them, and is a veritable storeroom of knowledge. As her English teacher expresses It, her vocabulary rolls out in spite of itself. She’s a regular shark when it comes to Civil Government. When she commences to expound some deeply involved theory, we can only sit and gape and wonder hazily how she does It all. Of course, Bryant Stratton’s will receive Helen, another of our honor pupils, with open arms and she will bear out J;heir faith in her, even as she has with Marlboro High. 24
