The Graduating Class PERRY HIGGINSON JOHNSON Perry joined us in the fourth class, and since he has made his presenve definitely known. A forcible logician, he is always ready to start an argument or plunge into one, and if he cannot silence his adversary by good arguments,he does so with an overwhelming uproar. Une of the best athletes of the class, Perry has starred in the backiield for three years, and was one of the hardest- hitting players we have seen. Under his guidance the football team won a majority of its games this year, losing only to Ded- ham and Milton. In the last two years he has gained letters in both hockey and track-fin the former as a defenseman, and in the latter as a 300-yard sprinter. His speed made him the only new member of the 1932 baseball squad, and in this sport also he won a letter. Perry is a social bear of the First magnitude and well liked both within and without the school. He is always ready to help you out or give you his opinion, and his method of reaching an objective is like that of a bull. As President of the class this year Winkie has been a fitting leader, going hard at everything, from athletics to studies. 27 IQ34 Class Book Football 'l'ez1m, 1931, 1932, 1933 Captain, 1933 Hockey Tezim, 1933, 1934 Track Squad, 1932 Team, 1933, 1934 Baseball Squad, 1932 Team, 1933 Student Founvil, 1932-33 President of Class, 1932-33, 1933 34 Junior Boxing fup, 1932 Glee Flub, 1933-34

Ever since Howard arrived, in 1929, he has been one of the best-natured fellows in the class. There is nothing he won't do for someone elseg in fact he is always doing good turns. Howard has always been prominent in athletics. For three years he played guard on the football team, being one of the best players in the line. For the past two winters he has divided his time between tending the nets on the hockey team and hurling weights on the track team. In the spring, Howard takes to crew, where he has rowed on the second and Hrst crews, not to mention the Russell Cup crew. In Physics class his repeated What's the answer, has be- come familiar to us all. Some of Howard's stories are wonderful, in fact, we can remember several years ago, when telling about the movies he had seen used to be his favorite indoor sport. As a grouser he holds the all-time record for the class, but in spite of it all he is one of the hardest workers. This year Howard was chairman of the Dance Committee, giving to it all the knowledge gained from years of experience, and the success of the dance was largely due to his efforts. 26

Whether Ralph's expression of seriousness and intelligence is implied or not will remain a mystery to many of us. However, his record of responsible positions in school shows that his de- pendability is unquestioned. One of the hardest workers in the class, Ralph has managed to put his finger into nearly everything in school, and in some fields he has had a great deal of control. His presence in the Student Council for many years, now as secretary, has given him a prestige that makes him seemingly very important. As manager of the track team in the third-class year, Ralph accomplished an unusual feat, and became one of the best runners on the team this winter. As business manager of the Nobleman and member of this Committee, his ability in high finance and executive tyranny have accomplished much. This spring Ralph stroked the second crew, despite his slight weight. Ralph is also another of our ardent sailors, hailing from Dux- bury and prominent in the yachting circle of that vicinity. His greatest asset is his demeanor, at once giving an impression of everything to be desired in a young man, which perhaps explains his friendly relations with all the faculty, although many of us enviously accuse him of having a drag, Ralph is planning to go to Harvard next fall, and we expect that his indomitable will- power will take him places. 28
