Take a look at Frank and you'll soon make up your mind. His strength was a powerful as- set for the Senior Football Team, and few plays went through his side of the line. Frank's strong leaning toward engineering will, no doubt, in the future cause us to hear of his great achievements, perhaps in the build- ing of the Nicaraguan Canal, or the spanning of the Strait of Gibraltar. ELOISE CECELIA CHARBONNEAU Oh! blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. —Pope Eloise, one of the quiet members of our class, believes in the maxim, ‘‘Silence 1s golden.’ She has been a serious student all along, making great headway, especially in German. Ever loyal to the interests of the Class of °30, she will be missed by the many friends she has made; but we are certain that those who will make her acquaintance will appreciate her genial, pleasant disposition as much as we have.

Retirement doesn’t always mean neglect. For proof of this just consider Catherine's popularity. She is one of cur commercial pu- pils and her earnest work has enabled her to rank high as a student. In one of the pro- grams presented by the Senior class she ably portrayed the typical Irish Colleen and pleased greatly with a charming recitation. Catherine may nearly always be seen with Alice, both in and out of school.

SORT aS Rat SU ater att ata foal EY ra ae S| HELEN CHRISTINE FALLON The fairest garden in her looks And in her mind the wtsest books. —Cowley Of course there is no need to introduce Helen. She is another member of the classical course, Whose greatest pleasure is in getting her lessons well prepared. She is a great friend of Catherine’s, spending most of her time with her in the gym, and even at work, when both are employed at Kresge’s: while on Sundays we find them equally busy teach- ing Sunday School. If Helen goes to Normal we know she will do well, so we extend our heartiest wishes for a successful future. MILDRED FRANCES HALEY The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. —Clarendon We are all familiar with Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities’ but the Senior Class is much more interested in another “Tale of Iwo Cities,” namely, Fitchburg and Leominster of which Mil is the heroine. Mildred joined our illustrious class in '28 and for two years we have been convinced that she certainly fulfills the above quotation. Her favorite sub- ject is geometry, but she has excelled also in English, especially in the Senior debates, and we all trust that this exceptional ability will carry her successfully through life.
