He flits from one idea to an- other. His incessant game of “tag” in the front of room 11 was a constant menace to Mr. Osborn. If looks could kill. “Dick” would be the late Mr. Shaughnessy.

HELEN SMITH General “Smitty” “ They gossip'd side hi side “ Interclass Basketball. 1, 2; Co-captain, Basketball, 3, 4; Dramatic Club. 3. “Smitty” is certainly a go-getter.
