STANLEY THOMAS LUSAS What I do not know bothers me.” Member of A. A. (2-3-4). Class Vice-President (2). Class Treasurer (3). Track (3). Basketball (3-4). Baseball (4). Dance Committee (4). Cast of Operetta, The Fire-Prince” (4). Secretary-Treasurer Rifle Club (4). Staff of Mirror (3-4). Valedictorian (4). In Stanley, we believe we have the germ of a genius and at the same time, that of a clown. He heads our class in scholarship and he heads our Who’s Who of curious characters in W. H. S. After he’d left us all behind in ranks he blossomed forth, not only in athletics, but in music. What would The Fire-Prince” have been like without this wise man? Pansy” may go far but his Buick won’t. M. I. T. and Engineering are going to claim Professor” next. There is one warning which we wish to give him. It’s all right for a man To be absent-minded. But his mind shouldn’t overstay It’s leave of absence.” and we might add—its leave of intentional lack of remembrance. ELIZABETH DANA MARTIN Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Latin Club (2). Dramatic Club (2). Glee Club (2-3). Vice-President of English Club (3). Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney” (3). Class Secretary (4). Member A. A. (4). Operetta, The Fire-Prince” (4). Senior Dance Committee (4). Class History (4). Reared in the shadow of this building, Elizabeth has developed into a very scholarly and cultured lady. She is very quiet and self-contained, but is capable of a fair sized giggle now and then. She is bound for either Mount Holyoke or Oberlin and after that what? Elizabeth has artistic talent and perhaps that’s a clue to her future. Although we can’t be sure what her future career will be, we are sure that our Physics-Vergil student will distinguish herself.

HARRY LESLIE HULL A man’s a man for a’ that.” Class President (4). Harry, the class president, comes from Pine Tree. He is a poolroom fiend and he feels that nine o’clock is much too early an hour for him to be required to get to school. He has waded through Solid Geometry and demonstrated his scientific ability. We have learned to look for Harry and his banjo at dances and have noticed how popular his Chewy is. OSCAR JOHNSON The first and most respectable of all the arts is Agriculture.” Member of A. A. (1). Agricultural Judging Team (1-2-3-4). Member of Future Farmers of Woodbury” (3). Agriculture Prize Winner (3). Oscar is our big farmer from the Roxbury-Good Hill region. Although he is silent, he is a good scholar. In Agriculture, he has gained an enviable position, winning all manner of prizes. We get news of the enjoyable times he has in the Ag. Room. Last year he braved the dance floor and lived through it. He has done quite a bit for a bashful boy. We might even mention a Sophomore girl, if that were any of our business. All in all, we think Oscar is getting his share of fun out of life. SIGURD LOVDAL A blond, half-saintly, blue-eyed lad.” Member of A. A. (1-2-3-4). Class Treasurer (2). Magazine Club (2). Debating Club (2). Agricultural Judging Team (3-4). Basketball (4). Baseball (4). Honor Roll Club (4). Salutatorian (4). We are not informed as to the attributes of saints, but we doubt whether any true saint was ever impish, ever played basketball or ever studied agriculture. We are, however, willing to concede the phrase 'half-saintly’ to Siggy.” We salute our Salutatorian who may always be identified by a grin, a blush and a cute accent. Page Seven

FRANK MATULA Keep smiling.” Dramatic Club (2). Glee Club (2). Operetta. Bits O’ Blarney” (3). Operetta, The Fire-Prince” (4). Member of A. A. (4). Senior Dance Committee (4). Agricultural Judging Team (4). Class Gifts (4). Frankie” surely can smile. His smile and his arched eyebrows have played no small part in our school career. He and his Chewy have been kept busy driving the girls around. Frankie is a good dresser and we might almost call him a sheik. Now that he has taken a year of Agriculture we hear that he is interested in going to Storrs. It would be fun to be a Freshman again. MARGARET ELEANOR SMITH Is she not passing fair?” Member of A. A. (1-3). Latin Club (2). Nature Study Club (2). Dramatic Club (2). Class Vice-President (3). Secretary of English Club (3). Prom Committee (3). Class Party Committee (3). Basketball (3). Dance Committee (4). Class Treasurer (4). Operetta, The Fire-Prince” (4). Class Prophecy (4). Margy” is our class beauty. Though beauty is its own excuse for being, she does more than sit around and look pretty. Back in the good old days when we had girls’ basketball, Margaret was on hand. She has been a clever politician, having held several class offices. Margy” and Maudie” have been an inseparable pair since grammar school days and they have been our social lionesses. Margaret has kept the boys busy and we are interested in what our flirtatious little miss will do next. CANDACE AUGUSTA THOMPSON I’m Capable of a tune” Basketball (1-2-3). Glee Club (1-2). Nature Study Club (2). Cast of Operetta, Bits O’ Blarney (3). Dance Committee (4). Commencement Soloist (4). Candace has been the most notable musician in our class. Her singing voice is very pleasing and she has initiated us into the mysteries of the xylophone. The proportion of eight boys to five girls has made us rather an unsociable class, but 'Candy has been a charming flower in the old brier patch. We wish her much good luck. Page Nine
