RAVELIN 'S MERRITT' HAROLD HARRINGTON, JR. Knute Let the world slide. The name Knute is recognized by every one, as he is Ox- ford High School's star athlete. He spends most of his time teas- ing the girls-however, they don't seem to mind it. He has great ability to think and make out plans, although he will not express them to everyone. I think you must have to get On the right side of him, but who knows, some day he may be a second Knute Rockne. Knute uses his ears very much in class, but he cer- tainly gives his tongue a rest.

ROBERT NORTON HELLIWELL CIB0bll His great works do bespeak his character. Can this fellow think? There is no problem that can stop him. Bob is a very determined fellow and when he once starts out to do something he will not rest until he has done it. He may be seen around a desk by the door at recess. Every time Bobbie can get his car, he uses it. He believes in the policy of, My car, your money. Bob certainly has a great head on his shoulders and we all certainly hope it will help him realize his one ambition which is to have a great big bank roll.

She has been success- ful as Commercial Club President and as a bell-ringer she is ex- cellent. Dodo has a great time trying to make others laugh when they shouldn't. Ask for humor and she has it. She has taken an active part in dramatics since she entered high school. Her am- bition is to become a commercial teacher. She will make a good one. Lucky pupils who get her.

RAVELIN 'S PHILIP LUCAS FALES Phil Not a word spoke he more than was necessary. A very smart boy is Phil. He certainly has had many teachers perplexed by his very deep and thoughtful questions. Phil is a very quiet boy, when he is in sight of some. He has a queer habit of keeping quiet at the wrong time. His favorite occupations are doing physics with LeClaire and asking to speak to Helliwell. Activities: Latin Club 4. CHARLES EDWARD FARRAR Sharlie Of making books there is no end and much studying is a weariness to the flesh. Vas you dere Sharlie? Of course he Was. He always is. His pet sayings to the girls are very attractive, boys. Ask him to let you in on 'the secretg probably it is the way he says them. Have you ever noticed that twinkle in his eye and that ear to ear smile? That's the kind that makes a good actor. He never wastes that 2004 talent, for he has made use of it in dramatics. With one eye on his book. and the other on that blonde Sharlie still knows his work. I+'s too bad we don't know what his future plans are, bfut he'll be there. Activities: Glee Club 1, 2, 33 Dramatics 1, 2, 33 Commercial Club 4. SYLVIA GREENE usyln She that could think, and ne'er disclose her mind. Sylvia Greene is a past member of Commerce High School, but we were glad to welcome her to Oxford High last September. A1- though she didn't take part in many of the activities she is well known by all her classmates. Her very striking Y-le'l-oo is heard everywhere. She has a pleasant smile for everyone. She hopes to travel to South Africa and be a social worker. She is interested in Philosophy which will help her in her social work. Red is her favorite color and I'm sure everyone will remember her for her selection of bright colors. Good luck to you Syl. Activities: Sylvia was transferred from Commerce High, Wor- cester in 1932, and her activities there were Britomart, Glee Club, and Bumblebees. At Oxford High: Demos Forensic. l9i

RAVELIN 'S HARRY LOUIS JOLLY Shnops He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. They call him Shnops. Harry's greatest kick in life is to tease the senior girls. Did you ever see Shnops come to school any day in a week, or any week in a year without his hair combed, trousers pressed, and his shoes shined? What good is this world to Harry if Raymond Porter is not seen with him? A high school dance without Shnops gliding around the iloor with a new step is a very unusual thing. He has not yet made his plans for the future. Activities: Mgr. of Basketball 2, 43 Asst. Mgr. of Basketball 33 Treas. of class 35 Commercial Club 3, 4, Ravelin's Board 43 Stu- dent Council 3, 4g Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Vice President of Commer- cial Club 43 Property Manager 4. GEORGE JOSEPH LECLAIRE Uspeedu Persuasion tips his tongue whene'er he talks. Speed is a natural-born salesman-he could sell an Eskimo an ice cream freezer. If Walter Winchell ever heard the jokes Speed cracks in history class he would turn green with envy. George plans to go to college, but work first as a dental mGChaI1iC. Speed is a good example of perpetual motion and has an automatic grin. Activities: Demos Forensic 13 Track 3, 45 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 43 French Club 43 Latin Club 4, Ravelin's Board 15 Finance Board 45 Dramatics 4. WALTER NORMAN LOVETT Nothing so hard but search will find it out. Lovett is one of our most interesting pupils. He is always doing something to further his education. Whenever he is not do- ing his math, he is reading newspapers. Some day, we all hope, he will become an editor of a large newspaper. He is just the kind of a person who would succeed because of his working ability. He certainly shows that he can learn things quickly because of his fast improvement in baseball, in fact, to make the squad, he showed that he can do things well when he wants to. He is very quiet but questioning. Because of his curiosity, he is able to get material which others could not get. Activities: Baseball 4. l 11 l
