THE QUIVER 0 □ r»V c |r r»$ »$ t jr »! r f»$ t%fri «%| f V +9n JOSEPH AMBROSE BLISS “Joe” is one of our quiet fellows. He does not mingle with the fair sex, hut he has a mind of his own and makes good use of it. He has tried to master every subject, and wc know that trying will bring success. “Joe struggles on without any complaint, taking things as they come. The students of our beloved school can wish him nothing but success and happiness which we feel sure that he will attain. Musical Comedy (4), Glee Club (4), Quiver (4). VINCENT JOHN BRENNAN “Vin,” “Vinnie,” “Wine” Vincent, the tallest man of the class of 1930, is our star basketball player and holder of many records. He holds the state's highest basketball scoring record for 1929-30; he holds the tardy record of Rtxim 18; he is the most extensive traveler—especially to neighboring towns. During the course of the year, we often underst xxl that Vin” was going to “State,” but we found out that it was Loew's State and not R I. State. We conclude, by inference, since Vin” travels so that he'll grow up (?) to be a mailman, busdriver, or floorwalker. However, no matter what undertaking “Vin” is set upon, he’ll succeed. Basketball (2) (3) (4), Glee Club (3) (4), Business Club HAZEL ARLINE BROWNE What charm, poise, personality, gcxxJ looks! No one is quite like Hazel; she possesses everything that constitutes a true student and classmate. We notice that most of Hazel's social functions take place in college towns; one can understand that her attendance at a dance assures every one of a marvelous time! Hazel is, nevertheless, a quiet and unassuming maiden, hailing from one of our highly heralded suburbs. We feel safe in saying that Hazel's future is a promising one. We await the coming years to verify the truth of our prophecy. Junior Play (3), Student Council (1) (2) (3), Basketball, Dramatic Club (2) (3), Junior Prom Committee (3), Senior Play (4). LOUISE BURLINGAME Another bright light in the class of 1930! Its ‘ pride and joy” we dare say! Louise is the true, ideal comrade. Her alert and capable mind is forever at work for the benefit of others. What is that Lit in construction? Ask Louise, she knows! Louise, although quiet, usually speaks at an opportune time. Not only is she competent in her studies, but she is very agile in athletics. Louise has many triends and undoubtedly in the luture her pleasing personality will gain many more for her.

8 THE QUIVER JOHN RUSSELL BERGERON Do you hear that scuffing? Ah! There he is. Just ducked behind one of those boys. Yes, it must be “Ru Happy-go-lucky and care free as the day is long. If hi studying isn't done, he never worries about it, but says. “Oh, well, the worst they can do is murder me! Rus has often caused a great disturbance among the fair sex with his snapping eyes, curly, black hair and intriguing manner. What are his ambitions? We do not know, but we wish him success in any venture. Business Club (4), Musical Comedy (4), Glee Club (3). RAYMOND ARTHUR BERGESSON Few high school athletes can truthfully say that they work at a position during vacation time that trains them for football. But Ray is one of the few. He is small, but when every ounce of that determined body is thrown into scrimmage it is bound to bring results. With football over Ray” is digging in harder than ever. He finds time to mention, however, that the “pleasant streets about the high school are certainly a pleasure to walk upon. Ray” is ambitious to become an engineer, but oftentimes, we wonder if he will change and become a building mover. Football (4), Business Club (4). GEORGE BERTRAND B1BEAULT Bertrand is one of our Royal Rooters, so-called and supports all school activities. The detention class finds Mr. Bibeault present at most of its sessions. He can't seem to wake up in the morning. We find that he has played a good game of football and we hope that his athletic ability will continue after he leaves us in June. Football (4). HAZEL RUTH BICKNELL A lively, active little lady is seen skipping up the stairs to Room 21 nearly every morning. Hazel is one of our busy bees, and can generally be heard humming in one of the back seats of the typewriting room. As Hazel’s best subjects are stenography and typing, we shall no doubt see her as a competent secretary in some great finance department. The best of luck, Hazel!

Her art is not limited, because Peg” can dance! She is ever-ready for a jolly time; her effervescent giggle often breaks the industrious silence of a class, much to the annoyance of the teacher, and amusement of her friends. “Peg” is an ardent supporter of all sports and her voice is always at hand whenever a cheer is to be given. As a parting word: “Wherever you go. Whatever you do. Remember, old pal. We're following you!” Business Club (4). Library Club, Musical Comedy (4), Basketball, Volley Ball, Glee Club (3).

Well, Shirley, there arc many steep “Hills” to climb, and when you reach the top, as you certainly will, do not forget your many friends. And now, it's good-bye, but you leave with our very- sincere washes that “Lady Luck” will always smile kindly upon you.
