V THE HERMIAD I WALLACE JOHN BURNS Too innocent for coquetryg too fond for idle scorningf' -Noxfton. VVallace is the only truly hashful boy who has ever graced the halls of P. H. S., yet strange to relate he took the part of the sentimental Faulkland in the Senior Play and no- lfody could find anything to complain about. Burns is one of the star pitchers of the school, and appears to be our rrincipal devotee to hand-ball. He will probably become a disciple of the great Thomas Edison for his premier interest seems to be electricity. AUSTIN JAMES COUGHLIN f'Take all the swift advantage of the hours. -Shakespeare. This very industrious hard working student hails from Moosup. He seems to take a great delight in foreign lan- guages hecause he is always seen with either a French or a Latin hook in his hand. He has a subdued sense of humor. Although he does not participate in athletics, his attendance at the games is regular. EDWARD JOSEPH COUGHLIN. Mi th, with thee I mean to live. f-Mi ton. To this tall Senior, with dark eyes and curly hair, the world appears as one perpetual jokeg he takes nothing seriously'--not even Burke's Conciliation He served as the business manager of the 1929 Hermiad and did it so stzcce sfully that he was re-elected in 1930. He is an all- round athlete for he has proved his ability in basketball, hcseball and football. Eddie is a lad of whom Moosup should be proud. JOHN GALLUP DODGE K'--Stalwart form, a ruddy face, Vwlith honest Saxon hair. AThompson. Since John came to us in our Sophomore year, his unfailing good nature has made him a favorite among his classmates of both sexes. His versatility is shown in that he has been the capable and efficient president of the Student Council this year, successfully took the part of Honest John, the vegetable and fruit merchant in the Senior play, and, in spite of his athletic and social interests, has had his name often on the honor roll. His frequent visits to Central Village would seem to confirm our suspicions that he sees much attractive lore in CEP that neighborhood. WILLIAM JOSEPH FOX I'm a hold, bad man from the open wildsf'-Belasco. William Fox is a lad who hails from Sterling and who has :1 great fondness for western stories. His chief amusement for the past year has been pestering the commercial law teacher. Nevertheless he is a likeable chap and a loyal, helpful member of the class. Bill says that one of the greatest compensations for study is frequent vacations.

THE HERMIAD GEORGE DANIEL AGAYOFF l love fool's experiments, I am always making them. -Scott George, as he is known to his friends in the Class of '30, came to us last September from Durfee High in Fall River. He is a tall, lanky, easy-going boy, brilliant in all his studies-and otherwise. His favorite occupation is experi- menting. He is one of the few artists in our class. LLOYD ERNEST ANG ELL I want to be an angel, and with the angels stand. -Old Hymn Here is the lad with the angelic name, but angels do not usually jab people in the back or try to drown out the teacher's voice in the classroom. It's lucky that Little Angel loves walking, for football gave him plenty, In the Senior Play he came to the rescue of the falling stage scenery. Of course we all know that he did it to please the English teacher, but we suspect that he also wanted an A . ELMER LEROY BABCOCK Goodress is measured by the yard. -Burke. ' Nig, as he is commonly called by his classmates, comes from Sterling. Last year he earned a letter in baseball by playing the position of outfielder on the varsity team. He is also a great handball enthusiast. Elmer chooses his friends among the divinity, for he is often seen with Angell. Silence is golden seems to be Elmer's motto. STANLEY CASIMER BALDYGA Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die. -Emerson Stanley, who works as hard as he plays, is the busiest member of the class. He played three years on the football team and served as its manager for two, and also played guard on the basketball team. When he is not winning honors in athletics he may be seen picking away on his typewriter trying to win some more Underwood or Reming' ton medals. Perhaps the most important moments of his school life were during the commencement exercises of 1929, when he served as Junior marshal. EDWARD EMIL BELLAVANCE No matter what happened,-he grinned. -Guest. Eddie, a popular member of the class of 1930, is the champion otiice holder of P. H. S.g witness the fact that he has twice been class president, that last year he served as presFdent of the Athletic Association and this year of the Varsity Club, that in his Junior year he managed the base- ball team to success, and this year has performed the same service for the basketball team, and that he has been Alh' letic Notes Editor of the Hermiad. Eddie always sees the funny side of life, especially in English class.

THE HERMIAD EDXVARD JOHN GALLAGHER Tile unspoken word never does h3THX., fKOSFull1. Eddie, 'fSpeed, Gallagher, a faithful member uf the Class of '40, comes from Moosup and is one of the quietest boys a-roig us. During his Senior Year he went out for foot- lzall and re:eived his letter. This spring he will qualify for the track team. His favorite class is commercial law. We wonder why. DONALD CLIFFORD GALLUP Hlinowledge comes but wisdom lingers. YTennyson. Donald is the one truly ambitious boy in the class and his activities have been many. Ever since he entered Plain- field High School he has been obtaining highest honors regularly. As a Sophomore he led his class as president. and as a Senior he served as treasurer of the Athletic Associa- tion and as editor-in-chief of the Hermiad, His characteri- zat'ori of Sir Anthony Absolute in the Senior Play was greatly enjoyed. THOMAS SPARLING HARGREAVES H'I sy, old chap, h'I'm h'English. Tommy, or as he is better known, Red , claims Moosup as his permanent residenceg he is, however, frequently seen in the vicinity of Sterling Hill. He is a versatile lad, for he made h's letter in football, and has been out for basketball and baseball. Furthermore, he makes the honor roll very often. As the cockney coachman in the The Rivals, Tommy left nothing to be desired. He is the second member of t'e Siamese Twin, CReese-Hargreavesj combination. His un'ailing good nature has made him a general favorite with his classmates. WALTER HAUSERMANN . Why all this hustle and bustle? All will be the same ten years from now. -Selection. Moosup loaned us Hausy for four yearsg we wondered why until we saw him in football togs this last fall, We ex- pect him to make a good showing at track this spring. During study periods he usually can be seen strolling calmly down the corridors with a bland smile on his face. VVe hope to hear much from him in the years to come, for he expects to astcund the world, like Edison, with his electrical feats. LOL'lS JACOB LAFRANCE I am the State: I am l.a France. -- Louis Xlll. Louis came to us in our Senior year from Assumption Follege, Worcester. He is a basketball player of no mean ability, and as assistant basketball manager has proved verv efficient. His chief delight is to return home from bas- ketball trips in the opposite car. Louis was one of the owtstanding figures in the Senior Play. During his spare time he pleases all feminine creatures and is ever ready to argue on most subjects with his associates.
