GEORGE BERNARD FISCHER “He had the warmth of genial courtesy, the calm of self-reliance.” ‘Bunny’ our esteemed class President, performed his numerous official duties in a quiet unobtrusive, yet nevertheless efficient manner. He has won many friends by his gentle, cordial bearing, and the senior class will long remember him as the perfect host, whenever the occasion demanded. His interest in his studies was unfaltering even amid the many activities of senior year. Such zest for real work cannot go unrewarded and we expect to see “Bunny” soon mount the ladder of success to a pin- nacle rarely attained. MARGARET MARY MARTIN “Simplicity and gentleness belie a character of strength and womanliness.”’ For two years Margaret has served us as Vice- President with a dignity and poise that bespeaks the student of worth. The most bewitching thing about her is enjoyment of fun, modulated as it is with her consideration of duty. Although immersed in the activities of school life her chief aim has ever been to attain a high scholastic standard from the first, and it is this trait of Margaret's that will linger with us after she has taken her departure from our midst. JEANNE GERTRUDE [IRISH “Here's to somebody staunch and true.” Jeanne came to us from Arlington in the Sophomore year and made herself right at home. Her great delight is found in her beloved music with which she has often charmed us. Her smile is contagious, her enthusiasm refreshing, and her cheer fever fails to encourage. She was elected Secretary in her junior year, and has filled this im- portant position with remarkable success. Her high school record augers well for her future, and no doubt her high honor standing of high school days will accompany her in her future career. JOSEPH HENRY CARPENTIER “A goal he set, the standard high.” In the fall of '32 Joe first brought his spontaneous smile from the golden summits of West Fitchburg. ° But that was not all, for possessed of a keen analytical mind, he put it to the best advantage in the difficulties of Math, and the seldom traversed regions of the classics. Our appreciation of him culminated in his election to the office of Class Treasurer in which capac- ity he has served us nobly. His peculiar virtue of reti- cence has veiled his future aspirations, but we know that honcr will ever gild his name. 13

FRANCIS JOSEPH ALLEN “We arrive at virtue by taking tts direction.” Franny is very popular throughout the school, and was a great football asset in spite of his business activ- ities each afternoon. Generosity and kindness are his predominant traits, and his strong unswerving ad- herence to vigorous principles of industry and determi- nation stand as a rampart to his calm unruffled dis- position. We do not know his intentions for the future, but we are sure that he will be a success. Goodbye and good luck, Franny. SADIE ELIZABETH ANZALONE “From her all sorrow fltes afar.”’ Sadie is a girl with an exhaustless capacity for fun, and the beauty of it is that she carries it right through the day, without ever infringing on the exalted realms cf knowledge. How she does it we have yet to learn. We like to see her excited because then, she displays a pretty way of blushing that actually fascinates us. We believe that with these good points to her credit she wi ll attain her goal in her chosen work. MARCELLA GERNANDE AUBUCHON “Charming simplicity throughout long days.’ , True modesty is a quality sought for and highly prized in every student. Our representative Marcella possesses it to a marked degree. Her ever present smile opened the way for her at once into our intimate con- fidence. Her intellectual powers are well known, as also her excellent French accent which we so often envied. We know that her quest for success will be duly recompensed CHARLES HENRY AUDET “As merry as the day ts long.” Charlie is one of our favorite students always found in the thick of everything. His greatest hope is ta grow two feet taller so that he can be a “‘G-man.”’ He is our great walking French vocabulary. Every member of the Class of 36 extends heartiest wishes for a happy future, Charlie. RITA ADELINA BAKER “Laughing eyes, a merry smile, And a merry, merry heart.” Rita 1s one of our dark eyed brunettes who attends to studies with much earnestness, but with all does not neglect the social joys in the least. She is a lover of all sports, and appears at all contests to participate in cheering. Rita’s ambition is to become a secretary, and we trust that her capabilities will bring her much success. 14
