This was because she never neglected any lesson. She was one of our fair students from Hudson, which may have helped. Remember when she worked in Hudson's stock exchange,4that is, liw stock? She helped run the only circus- animal exchange in the world, She promises to become a poet of merit some day, if only she keeps up the good work. lt goes with- out saying that she stood very high in the Upper Fourth.

Clarabel seemed such a quiet girl that hard- ly any of us dared to pry into her ahfairs, but we were glad she stayed with us for four years and got along so well. The most dis- tinctive things about Clarabel were her firm chin and reserved manner. She had the hon- or of being the perfect girll' of Room 5, and wasn't she the only one in history class to know that the 49 parallel divided Canada and the United States? hYAl.'I'l'LR Giaoluzrl Davis fl filvusillg f7t'l'S0JIl1lifj' .vmfed in the heart of i'ourlexy. Those rubber stoppers which sailed beau- tifully through the chemistry lab., obtaining their driving force from Walter's unfailing hand, were the cause of nearly all the smiles and laughter up there, VN'hat VValter could do if he wanted to, amazed us. Klost sur- prising, however, was his ability to figure out those terrible problems without the aid of pencil and paper. Another thing,-he always seemed to be the firxf one to get in class. lsn't it so, boys?

TUSITALA VVALTER E. Coiuiv Ile is teixe who talks but liiilef' Wlalter most assuredly lived up to the quo- tation. He was always ready, however, to lend a helping hand when lessons were not completed, especially if they had to do with Math. He must have had a great deal of grit to come way from Brookline every morning, lwut the fact that he had a Ford prohalmly ac- counts for his accomplishing this feat. None of us are surprised to know that he stood high in the class ballot for gaining the title of the Most Bashfulf' . GICRTRUDIC Loulsla Cousms The eyes like wells, wlwrc sun lies, too, So clear and frustful blue. Gertrude with her quiet, smiling eyes was one of our best singers, and she joined in the May Festival III. Rarely did we see Ger- trude in a hurry, as she had a very leisurely manner in talking and in acting, hut we recog- nized her true worth by what she accom- plished while she was with us. SUSAN TnizREsA Clzoocu Hlfzwfyllzing she rlornr, .rlze docs well, and .vlw does cvcrytlimgf' Everyone knew Susie Her list of activ- ties illustrates her versatility. She was a most successful delmater IV. The Tlzttlcr flourished under her guiding hand IV, when she served as Editor-in-chief. As Vice-President IV, she helped to make the Dramatics Clulm grow. She always maintained high ranks in her studies, though one wondered when she had time to study them, for she finished third in the race for Upper Fourth honors.

f 'E TUSITALA CnA1n.Es BRODERICK DESMARAIS Men are of Iwo kindx, and he ls of the kind I'd like to be. Charlie, our most prominent athlete, was among the best-liked fellows in N. H. S, His popularity was due both to his athletic ability, and his modest, unassuming, good-natured disposition. Remember how we used to cheer when he would either drop in a basket from midfloor in basketball, or strike out an oppos- ing player in baseball? He made center on the All-State Basket-Ball Teams both his Junior and Senior years. His activities give good evidence of his exceptional athletic ability: Baseball I, II, III, IVQ Basket-Ball I, II, III, IV, Captain III, Football II, Track IV. IYIARY FRANCES DEVEREUX A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. Mary was a very quiet girl until one came to know her intimately. Then one dis- covered a delicious sense of humor and an infectious laugh. She was an apt student and critic of literature, and one of the few who took Latin four years and still made the Upper Fourth. We remember her as one of the Farmerette chorus which made such a hit in Miss Bob White III. She also was a member of the candy committee of Dulcy IV. We wish you much success, Mary, in years to come. H. Roaster D1oN All work and no play llfould have made 'Bob' a dull boy. Sonny's Freshman year marked the be- ginning of his doing things for Nashua High, for his playing on the baseball team was phenomenal. He played baseball all four years, indeed, acting as Captain IV. He tried basket-ball his fourth year and very easily made a place among the best players of the squad. Athletics is not his only hobby,-wit- ness his work for the Glec Club II, III, the A. A. Play III, and finally as usher at the Senior Play. His success in the world is as- sured, as he is one of the most sociable of fellows.
