THE QUIVER 17 ARTHUR ALBERT GOULET Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong. Quiet but friendly, that's Arthur. In the three years of Arthur's stay with us we have never known him to be quarrelsome. A pleasing personality and kind word for everyone har won many friends among the opposite sex. But we have not known him to fall to the irresistible charm of one girl. He remains friend to all of them. Arthur is one of the best a.h.etii oi the school. He is quite prominent in baseball and ve heat his ambition is to become a Big League player. We 1 now he will attain this ambition like other men who have left us years before. His future is not determined as yet. but whatever you undertake.

Say. quit pushing in back there.” Oh. oh! 1 can see Ray” trying to force a ho'e through that strong line on its way to the cafeteria 'Kay” is one of the quietest boys in class when any information is desired by the teacher, but on the campus he is quite the opposite Ray's” robust spirit has been to his advantage as a hockey player on a local team, a id we are informed that his ability in this sport has attracted much attention.

Baseball (3) (4). ELEANOR HACKETT Seek pleasure for its own sake.” Who is that small girl coming quickly down the corridor? She seems to have a very vivacious personality. Of course, you have gjetsed it. it's our own Eleanor. She has black hai. which is a real asset to her. and dancing blue eyes. She is often seen in the company of another Senior girl named Mary. They make an attractive pair, for while one is light, tile other is dark. Eleanor has not as yet decided whethei she will be a nurse or a school ma'am.” Whatever she docs, we know she will do with great success. Best of luck. Eleanor! Glee Club (4). Junior Play Committee (3). ROBERT A HAMILTON “I’m Just a Vagabond Lover.” One of the reasons that prevent us from calling Bob one of our quieter boys is the fact that he plays a sax.” No one can play that instrument and be called quiet. However, we'll have to admit that Bob's” playing can be endured, in fact even welcomed. Did you know that Berkeley holds some strange attraction for him? Why don't you serenade her. Bob”? Music hath charms.” you know. We have not learned Bob's future plans, but we certainly wish the best of luck to the best saxophone player in captivity. Orchestra (2) (4). Band (2) (4).

16 THE QUIVER -------------------------- JOSEPH SOLOMON GOI DFINE A wise man sayeth very little.” Who is the happy-go-lucky boy strolling the corridors so leisurely? Joe.’’ the wonder in chcmistiy. is a terrible expense to the school, as more than one instrument has been broken by him. However, some far sighted lad has taken revenge by burning his suit and shoes. Joe's most inter esting subject is selling shoes. Attired in a flashy green shirt. Joe can be seen in one of our local shoe stores every after noon and Saturday acquiring experience in the business field. This care free lad has been a great help to the school with his car. If you haven't mastered arithmetic progression, the theory of Pythagoras or Boyles' Law. consult Joe ; he'll probably throw a little light on the subjects. In the days to come, we hope to see Joe as the competent manager of a successful shoe store. Glee Club (4), Inter class Basketball (2) (}). NATHANIEL ROBERT GOLDMAN I have a heart with room for every joy. Nat is the boy with the curly blond hair and cheerful countenance who goes around borrowing homework and chewing gum. He is a great help to his chemistry class, for whenever Mr. Murphy asks a question. Nat quickly shouts his answer—then the rest of us chorus out the opposite of what he says, and usually have the right answer. And when he gets loose in the Lab. every man for himself! It is no fault of Nat's that we have survived his experiments to discover whether the class could distinguish between chlorine and carbon monoxide by the odor! Nat plans to enter R. 1. State next fall, and after finishing there, he will probably head some large fruit and produce company. Glee Club (3) (4). Inter-class Basketball (2). Junior Play Committee (3). Football (4). CONSTANCE GOSSEL1N There's mischief in this lady. Conny has been with us for three wonderful years, during which time she has become one of the best liked girls in our class. Her jokes keep constantly chasing our blues” away, and whenever we hear someone singing and laughing in the midst of a crowd of girls and boys we know that Conny is the entertainer. Do you know that Conny's'' favorite holiday is Noel ? Business Club (4). Orchestra (4), QuiVt R Board (4). Senior Play Committee (4). JAMES R GOULD Life is not life at all without delight. Happiness, joviality and ability are the chief charactcris tics of our hero. Jimmy's dry wit and cheery manner have made him one of the live wires” of ’31.” Many the day he has brightened by his clever witticisms. In the classroom he was a diligent worker, ever anxious to grasp and analyze the fundamentals of a new system. Beyond a doubt. James will attain the pinnacle of whatever he may choose as an occupation. We are certain that his sunny disposition and warm smile will go a long way in helping him to his goal. Glee Club (3J.

18 THE QUIVER JOHN VINCENT HEEFURNAN Oh! 1 am stabbed with laughter.” John may be small, but that doesn’t seem to keep him from making noise. Classrooms are never dull to him for he can always find some sort of amusement th:re. He is one of the chief noisemakers in our band and orchestra, too. and he cer tainly knows how to hand'e the drumsticks! One of his features is the smile that won't come off. John has won many friends, and although we are unaware of his plans for the future we wish him the best of luck. Band (2) (3) (4). Orchestra (2) (3) (4). Glee Club (2) (3) (4). EVELYN MAE HELM As good be out of the world, as out of fashion. Here's a pleasing young lady that needs no introduction, even though she does come all the way from Slatersville. A cheerful greeting every morning, carefree attitude at all times and flashing brown eyes are a few of Evelyn's characteristics. Her hearty laugh always amuses the class during the typewriting period. Ev's” dramatic ability is known to all. especially to those who saw her act in Icebound. Her wit and humour in this play will not soon be forgotten. Providence certainly seems to hold some great attraction for this young lady, who spends many of her week-ends there, yet we do not seem to understand it. because there is a certain dark-haired youth in the Senior Class who attracts Evelyn to a great extent. She likes swimming and dancing and also enjoys serious reading. We must admit that our Evelyn is always among the first to blossom out in new fads. Let us hope that she will gain as many friends at Commercial School as she has at W. H. S. Junior Play (3), Business Club (4). WALTER H1GHCOVE Deeds, not words A flashing shadow, a crumbling line, a bedlam of excitement on the sidelines, and Highcove is off on another run Hero of the gridiron, diamond and basketball court. Walt” is well-liked and admired by all his classmates. By far the weakest of his opponents is Algebra, a team noted for the deceptive plays and the staggering upsets it causes every two months, but Miss McFee's Highcove can help anyone comes with clock-like regularity. Wall also makes a very capable Class President and we are certain that there is no power behind the throne! Now acclaimed one of the oustanding schoolboy athletes in the state, we expect to hear much of Walt during his next few years at college. Class President (4). Football (2) (3) (4). Baseball (2) (3) (4). Basketball (3) (4). Track (3) (4). KENNETH HODGKINS Ken” His time is forever, everywhere his place. Ken” is that tall, solemn youth you see ambling along the corridors and never exerting himself. We cannot remem ber ever seeing Ken actually hurrying of his own accord. The only time he increases his pace is at lunch time and then it is through no fault of his. for Camera, himself, would have to step lively if he ever got caught in that Thundering Herd”! A loyal friend and comrade. Ken takes with him the best wishes of the class of '31 when he enters R. I. State next year. Glee Club (2). Senior Play Committee (4).
