THE QUIVER 20 JEANNETTE CECILE ROULEAU “Hair so long. Dimples sweet. Here our Jeannette You shall meet. Who hasn't noticed that quiet and sedate little lady in Room 21 ticking away on the typewriter? Jeannette is quite a typewriting shark Jeannette has the distinction of being the only girl in school who has long curls. Her hair is a crown of beauty. Her winning personality and flashing smile have won many a friend for Jeannette. Jeannette might easily be called the Pied Piper of Woonsocket High. for she charms every one with her sweet violin music. She is one of the members of the orchestra and helps to make it a success. Jeannette's ambition is to become a great violin teacher. We know she will attain her ambition as she has every other thing she has undertaken. Orchestra (4). Business Club (4), Senior Play Committee (4), Athletic Activities (3) (4). THOMAS RUSSELL We grant, although he had much wit. He was very shy of using it.” Although it is a bit trite to use that age-old expression quiet and unassuming.” Tomo inacts the role to perfection. He has been an ideal student, bearing his knowledge and exercising his talents with a sincere humility and unselfishness that so fittingly characterize a true scholar. We have an idea that it is Tomo whom Mr. Murphy refers to when he speaks of “our future wonder chemists,” for in the lab Tomo certainly played an outstanding part. Time will not allow us to forget Tomo's ability as our basketball mana ger. Armed with twin lances of sociability and perseverance. Tomo is headed for great successes. Basketball Manager (2) (3) (4). Class Officer (2), Track (2). Senior Dance Committee (4). NEIL SALLEY A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial, coaxing way he had.” Neil is higher up in the world than most of us, but his some six feet of height is not the limit of his attempt for altitude, for he is interested in aviation. Neil s ready smile and carefree manner do not prevent him from taking his algebra and trig seriously, and he plans to study aeronautics at the R. 1. School of Design next year. The huge air liners of the future will probably be designed by Neil, and if they travel as straight to their destination as the erasers, etc., that he throws unerringly about, his success is assured. The class of 31 wishes you fame and fortune. Neil. Orchestra (3), Glee Club (4). MATTHEW L. SAMBOR There's mischief in this man. Clang! Clang! Clang! It's Matthew coming into Room 11. Bang! he's in his seat. Then, someone's laughing: soon there s very loud whispering. Mathieu. dix minutes! Aw, no. miss, la derniere chance Une heure! and the next time you leave the room! Aw, gee!” French is Matthew' s favorite subject. Matthew is one of the noisiest boys in our class. If one hears loud stamping coming down the corridor, one can be very sure who it is. Yes. you were right; it's Matthew. Everyone likes him. nevertheless, and we all wish him much good luck in the future. Senior Play Committee (4), Inter-class Basketball (2).

28 THE QUIVER MARY ROBINSON Laugh and the world laughs with you Who is that girl we sec many times in Room 26? Why, that's our Mary, who impersonated so well one of the lead ing roles in our Senior Play. Shavings. Mary is one of th? wittiest girls in our class and if not saying something funny can usually be seen laughing over a joke told by some-on? else. She's to be seen many mornings before school busily engaged in the day's stenography. Our cafeteria would not get along so well as it does if it were not for Mary, who has charge of the cash box during the noon hour. We know that because of her ability in public speaking. Mary will be a credit to Emerson, where she is thinking of going. Best of luck. Mary. May success be your constant companion! Business Club (4). Senior Play Committee (4). Junior Play Committee (3). QUIVER Board (3). Dramatic Club (2) WALTER ROCHF.LEAU Forethought and prudence are the proper qualities of a leader. Walter, more familiarly known as Pete or Doc. came to us this year from St. John s Prep and has become a loyal supporter of all W. H. S. activities. His pleasing per sociality and good humor has e made him popular with his schoolmites. in genera and one in particular. But. like ■£)oc, we must have “prudence and not give the secret away. “Pete intends to continue his quest for knowledge at Holy Cross where he will study medicine and become a real Doc. We shall always have happy memories of you. Pete, and we all join in wishing you success and prosperity. Glee Club (4). ELEANOR ROGERS Sing away sorrow, cast away care. What's happened? what's the crowd? Ah. I'll bet out Eleanor is in the center of it! Sure enough Our Eleanor is a tiny creature, but she is just brimming with personality, wit and cheerfulness. Where this little girl is. melancholy flies out the window. Eleanor's favorite study is sports, or maybe it's a certain curly headed player (?) who is the attraction. But. anyway. Eleanor, here's good luck to you from the class of '31. Glee Club (4), Senior Dance Committee (4). EDMUND ROTATORI “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.

30 THE QUIVER PIERRE J. SCHWEIGHOFER A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Pierre is often the center of any commotion in school. He began making noise away back in 1914 and he still has the habit. Pierre's mischievous and cheery nature has won him many friends during his school years with us. We suspect that some of his studies were sometimes neglected, but in others he excelled. Pierre expects to enter college soon and we wish him the best of luck. Glee Club (3) (4). Freshman Dramatic Club (2). SAMUEL SHERMAN “A good credible acquaintance.” Yes. these words can effectively describe our Sammy. If you have met him and do not think that he is a regular fellow.” the fault lies with you. He can often be seen hurrying in and out of Room 12 with his best pal. Joe.” His outstanding characteristic is that of being a staunch friend. By means of this asset he has won many friends at W. H. S. Although not a participant. Sammy” is very much interested in athletics. Baseball bolds a great attraction for him. especially the accomplishments of Babe Ruth.” A talented musician. Sammy” has made many an entertainment a success with aid of his violin. He certainly can get things going.” including an orchestra, which we hope to hear about in the future Sammy” plans to attend some higher institution of learning next year. Best wishes. Sammy. Inter-class Basketball (2) (3) (4). JOSEPH SHOLOVITZ Happy am 1. from care I'm free! Why aren’t they all content like me?” Behold! one of our class giants. Joe needs no introduction to the members of W. H. S., since he has so many friends there. Always happy and carefree, he does his bit to help everyone. Joe ' can speak and act well as was shown in our Junior Play. He certainly knows how to make Miss Laviolette say. ”Une fois, for never does a day pass that one doesn't see Joe” in Room 11 after 2:30. Joe. a good athlete, was a reliable substitute on our successful football team. He is also high scorer in the Inter-class Basketball League. As a good dancer and with the aid of his humor. Joe” has helped to make many a social event a success. He hasn’t decided yet. but the college which he chooses for an Alma Mater will certainly be lucky. Junior Play (3). Glee Club (3) (4), Inter-class Basketball (2) (3) (4). Football (3) (4). Latin Program (4). SARAH SHORR Anything for a quiet life Sarah is a quiet, demure, studious girl with lovely wavy hair. We often wonder what she is thinking about when she is so silent. Well, as the saying goes. Still waters run deep.” We must not get the impression that Sarah studies all the time, for occasionally we hear her speaking of the wonderful time she had last night with that certain party. Sarah admits that she doesn’t like gym” because it is too tiresome to get dressed in a hurry. If you want to get into trouble, just try bothering Sarah when she is studying her public speaking. A mellow voice almost whispering. Say. do you know your bookkeeping and law” warns us that Sarah is near at hand. This young lady always wants to know the why's and wherefore's of every case that comes up in law. It seems that Sarah would make a good debater for she enjoys arguing on different subjects. Sarah has not made up hei mind as to what she will do in the future, but no doubt we shall find her in some higher institution of learning Junior Play Committee (3J. Business Club (4).
