JOHN JAMES KIVLEHAN , “True to himself and his friends.’ “Johnnie” came from West Fitchburg our Fresh- man year. Industrious, energetic, and faithful in all his undertakings, he has become a great favorite. His most intimate pal is Joe (F) and these two spend many happy moments together. ‘‘Johnnie’’ distinguished himself as a baseball player on the Varsity Nine last spring. As a member of the Spanish Club, his latent ability was displayed to much advantage, and it is with pride that we recall his achievements in the ac- tivities of that circle. HELEN RIFA LEBLANC “T dare not trust those eyes They dance tn mists, dazzle with surprise.” Helen’s eyes are the envy of her classmates but she is unconscious of it all. She is one of the quiet, atten- tive members, and has endeared herself to teachers and pupils. Among her own intimate friends she is a charming and delightful companion, as all the mem- bers of that envied circle assert. EDGAR JOSEPH LEGER “A man he seems of confident tomorrows.” Coming every day from distant West Fitchburg, Edgar won the esteem and regard of both students and teachers. He was a wizard in math., exceptionally fine in all his studies, and kept perseveringly on the Honor Roll. He was always willing to participate in any school activity, and his ability was very often in evidence during the past four years. He has not in- formed us of his plans, but we know he will respond whole-heartedly to any task. JAMES FRANCIS LOVE “Bright as the summer's noon.’ Were we limited to one word in describing Francis that word would undoubtedly be—sincerity. It’s a quality that has marked and characterized him since his coming among us. They say golf is his favorite sport, and so great has been his interest and his en- thusiasm in that direction that some day we expect him to be proclaimed the champion golfer of our country.

EVA CECILE JDE “A vein of mirth beneath her air of dignity.” Eva with her ever-ready abundance of smiles cheered our path and brightened our hours continually during the high school course. Amidst it all she ever re- mained the essence of serenity and dignity—qualities which will always endear her to us after high school days are over. FERRIS LOUIS JOSEPH “Dispatch ts the soul of bustness.”’ Ferris joined our illustrious class during our Senior year. As a lively advertising manager for the Bernar- dian he revealed great ability. Although somewhat re- served in manner, he, nevertheless always had a cheery smile and a happy greeting for his schoolmates. He was particularly a great rooter for the teams, and fol- lowed the games both at home and away. Ferris’ plans for next year are unknown to us, but in his chosen sphere we are certain that his goal will be that of worth, WINIFRED MARY KILLELEA “T prefer silent prudence to loquactous folly.” Among the earnest toilers of our class we may un- doubtedly place Winifred since she was generally found engaged in the preparation of some assignment. Her fine recitations in the History class have won for her the admiration of her fellow students. As for the future, we hope that she will be most prosperous. HENRY EDWARD KIVLEHAN “Tn order to have friends, be one.’ Henry has a long way to travel to school, but he doesn’t let this annoy him, because he knows that upon his arrival at school he can enjoy himself in studying his Biology, History, and so forth. It took us scarcely a week to learn that he was a lad who was dependable and trustworthy, one whose quiet culture was not openly displayed but nevertheless truly char- acteristic. Once the borders of intimacy were passed Henry was a thoroughly delightful friend whom we will remember in years to come.

CHARLES SAMUEL LUNETTA “Companion, whose buoyant spirit cheered.” Charles is a wavy-haired chap who is very fond of arguing. He never loses a chance to get into a verbal discussion. His chief topics of argumentation are poli- tics and sports. We feel sure that with his great argu- mentative ability, Charles may some day get a seat in Congress. Good luck, Charles! IDA JOSEPHINE LUNIEWICZ “No one knew her but to love her, No one named her but to pratse.”’ To anyone unfamiliar with her, Ida appears to be a quiet girl. There is, however in reality, no one more enthusiastic for ideas creating fun or excitement than she. Her presence is always received with the greatest joy and, in truth, no one has ever been heard to speak ill of her. We think her future aim is to be a second “Marjorie Mills’’ imparting her knowledge to the uni- verse by means of the radio. FRANCES MARIE MARCEAU “Those who are faithful find happiness.” In every class there is a group who seem to over- come the scholastic barrier with the utmost ease pecially by a sunny smile and a cheerful word. In such eS= a group we place Frances. She will ever remain with us as the lass, who smiled at things others worried abett: the girl with the serious face and twinkling eye. DOROTHY MARGUERITE MASON “T like fun, I like jokes Bout as much as most folks.’’ Although Dot is more often seen than heard, she enjoys a joke and is as willing to laugh as any of us. She is a good student and has thoroughly prepared herself to enter into the strenuous field of nursing. She has the good wishes of all her classmates for a suc- cessful career.
