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.

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 JOHN JOSEPH LYONS A lion FUNOYIH women is a dreadful thing. eShakespeare John Joseoh L on f , y s, amfliarly called VVocf, is knawn for his love of both outdoor and indoor sports. For three Years he has been a member of the Student Council. As Sir Lucius O'Trigger in the Senior Play he gave evidence of latent vocal talent which wow him great applause and which he h '- e I as smce developed by late afternoon practice in the corridors of Plainfield High School. STANLEY JOSEPH MALEK A man is never so happy as when he is talking. -Selected. Malek, who comes from Jewett C't ' ny, is a very studious person. He is an outstanding athleteg he won his letter in football last fall, was a member of the basketball squad. and this spring is playing baseball as well as managing the team. He showed his dramatic talent as Mr. Fag in the Senior Play and is an A-1 violinist as any orchestra re- hearsal ' ' ' proves. His never failing sense of humor surely stands him in good stead. JEAN EDWARD MARCHESSEAULT VVho is so deafe or so blinde as is he That wilfully will neither heare nor see ---Heywood. Jean, who spent his Freshman and Sophomore years at Assumption College, is nearly always in good humor. Indeed his joyful stunts often cause him to laugh in classes and he is so mischievous that he tests the patience of his teachers. He acted his part in the Senior Play very well. Although he does not participate in Athletics he supports the teams as any loyal P. H. S. student should. HAROLD JOHN MONTY ' I am not in the roll of common men. Shakespeare. VVe have often wondered why this youth is called Duck, for short, possibly it is because of his fondness for HZO. His pleasing smile is never absent from his beaming coun- tenance except in English class. Duck has demonstrated his school spirit by going out for football, baseball and track. He frequently makes the trip from P. H. S to ' As far as we know no member able to -captivate his attentions, Sterling by shank's mare. of- the fair sex has been but is he as innocent as he looks? MATTHEW ANDREW MROZ It is the wise head that makes the still tongue. -Lucas. A quiet boy from Moosup whose favorite occupation seems to be plugging his part of the line in football, Matthew was one of best linemen on the team this year. In advanced math class he is always heard giving his ideas on some partfcularly hard problem. He is a ten minute P. T. leader this year and is making a big success of it. Although he is not Irish, he can easily get his Irish up.
