Methuen High School 193: ELIZABETH MARY HAWKINS Elizabeth is one of the quieter members of our class. She is well liked by all and always is in good humor. Although she does not take part in any of the school sports, she is a steadv booster of the athletic teams. She is headed for a happy and successful life. FRIEDA ELIZABETH HELLENER fritzik Basketball 3. 4 Fritzie . as she is known among intimate friend-, plaved on the girls ' basketball team, showing fine ability. Her capability to dance well has made her popular at a certain dance hall. In her English class, she has revealed skillful origi- nality in the individuality of her speeches. She ha - devoted much effort and has tried hard in commercial studies. We are quite sure that she will be successful in the world. Good luck. Fritzie! MABEL E ELYN HILL Mabel i- just as big-hearted as she is large in stature. Our class just wouldn ' t be complete with- out Mabel ' s giggles, either. In her four years of high school she has brightened manv classes with her laughing and chuckling. Keep on brightening things and you are bound to succeed, Mabel. AMY HOBBS Here i- a sweet little girl who continually looks on the bright side of life. We admire Amy for her sincerity and frankness. These two qualities accounted for her being liked by both pupils and leather-. When Ann leaves Methuen High, we wonder what Norman will do. Her aptitude in typewriting and efficiency in general commercial work lead us to believe she will amount to much in the business world. 28

General Chairman 4 An all-round good sport — that ' s Tillie . She has captured many laurels in basketball and hockey, as well as the hearts of many of the male members of the school. We were certainly lucky to get Tillie from Lawrence High School. We wish you the very best of luck, Tillie. RICHARD HAMILTON GUMB ' dick gumby Captain, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Junior Play Boys ' Glee Club 3 Richard, nicknamed Gumby by his classmates, is a popular fellow. The most conspicuous thing about him is his laugh. This laugh is between a roar and a guffaw. It can be heard all over the school when something strikes Richard as being funny. He was the Personnel Adjutant of the Cadet Corps with the rank of captain. Lots of luck, Dick , old pal! IRENE HARRISON Salutatorian Junior Play Irene is one of the most intelligent members in our class. She is brilliant in all of her subjects, and excels in English. She has made many friends during her school career, and we know she will make many more when she is out in the world. She is a good sport, and an ideal class- mate. We are proud of you, Irene. WILLIAM HUGHES HARRISON bill Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Basketball 3, 4 Bill has been persistent in all his studies and activities. The possession of a facility for forming friendships causes him to be a well-known young man. We must compliment him for being an able officer in the Cadet Corps. We wonder if he ' ll be a chemist or a Latin teacher. Whatever may be his calling, a keen inclination to forge ahead will enable him to gain a desirabb position in life. 27

1933 Methuen High School BETTY HOPKINSON Betty is a cute little girl with taciturn ways. Whenever you see Betty you will notice her friend. Lila Stowers, accompanying her. Long after graduation, we feel sure these two chums will talk over the happy days spent at M. H. S. Betty is well-liked by everyone and in whatever career she may direct her abilities, she has the best wishes of all for success. ALBERT JAMES HORNE al Trade 2. 3. 4 Lieutenant. Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Various Committees Al came from Florida to join our class in the Sophcmore vear. He has impressed us with that touch of Southern drawl. We were indeed for- tunate in having him as a classmate. His track record in the mile run has added considerably to the success of our team. A sociable nature has made him popular among the boys — and the girls, too! Good luck to you, Al in whatever you do! CHARLES THOMAS HYDER charlie Charlie joined our class in our Senior year and we were glad to have him as a member. He is one of those pupils you can depend upon to recite every time they are called upon. Charlie is bashful and was also one of our women-haters. Keep up your good work, Charlie, and ( who knows? ) some day you may be a famous district attornev or a leading economist! RICHARD KITSON HYNES dick Captain. Cadet Corps 4 Football 2. 3 How he slays those girls! Dick ' s red hair and ever friendly smile make him one of the most popular fellows in the school. His knowledge of military training has been a great aid to the cade ' .s. Dick liked to have a lot of fun and when we part we shall miss his pleasant per- sonalis. Into whatever calling you may apply your attention. Dick , we are sure your smile will assist in making good! 29
