Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem.” WILLIAM FURLONG “Bunny is one of the most congenial members of our class, but unfortunately he is addicted to spring fever twelve months in the year. When Boreas rules the earth, and William finds the proverbial forty winks doubly ap- preciated, it is not an uncommon sight to see him coming- down Orchard Street, digging the sand out of his eyes. But “Bunny is clever when he has a mind to display a little alacrity and use his grey matter; and we are sure a promising future is open for him. When many years have passed, we shall remember “Bunny” by his smile and ever ready wit. FRANCES PETERSON Frances, a lover of nature and all its beauties, is one of our most studious seniors. Her fluency in language is the result of a wide range of reading. All of her time, however, is not consumed in this manner, for there re- mains plenty of time for sports. With eyes so bright and face so sweet, she is a great favorite with the class of ’22. EUNICE COOK Eunice is our champion fast-talker. In fact, her rapid tongue pours forth, in one minute, more words than any one else can speak in one second. Every week she is knit- ting on a different sweater; we are sure her stock of them must surely number at least ten. She shines in English and toe-dancing. ALICE SKAHAN Alice is usually the first one to introduce a new style of haircomb or hair dressing. She is often seen standing by her classroom door, trying to absorb her Latin, English, or History lesson before the last bell rings. Besides being- lively and full of fun, she is very popular among her many friends. [23]

■Stevenson “Of ivhrit shall a man be proud if he is not proud of his friends ?” — HELEN BARRY At times Helen seems very serious, but behind that quiet manner, there is a good deal of jollity. Her big glasses make her appear wise, and she lives up to that semblance. NETTIE GASS “Early to bed and early to rise” says the old maxim, but Nettie has changed it around to suit her method. It is late to rise with her. If the time she spent in the tardy room was put on her history, she would earn a distin- guished medal. A smile carries one a long way, ’tis said: sometimes we fear, Nettie, you depend upon that to get you to school on time. But Nettie is greatly liked both for her even disposition and for her skill in basket ball. DOROTHY BORGESON Dorothy Borgeson, although a recent member of our class, has made many friends and is well liked by all her class mates. She has proved what a “jolly good fellow” she is. Dorothy has always been keenly interested in all of our class activities; she is an enthusiastic basket ball player. We must not forget, along with her beaming per- sonality, the light she sheds over our dark and dreary days, for she is always smiling, bright, and gay, wearing the brightest colors every day. FLORENCE CORRIGAN Florence appears very mouse-like, but she is an un- usually jolly girl at appropriate times. That she is a faithful worker has been proved, not only by her valuable aid on the refreshment committee at the Senior Prom, but also by her duties so faithfully performed in her libi ' ary work. Being thoughtful of others and ever willing to help, has made “Flossie” a general favorite. [ 22 ]

‘Of it lutt shall a man he proud if lie is not proud of his friends ?” — Stevenson. DOROTHY RAYMOND Here’s to “Dot” with her cheery smile, dimples, and flying ribbons. A friend, tried and true. Though not studiously inclined, yet she is a lover of all outdoor sports, and is the most delightful little cook any one would care to know. ARTHUR MacLEAN “Art” or “Mack” Do you know him? You do, if you are a baseball or basket ball fan, for he is right there when it comes to athletics. As for scholarly instincts, we cannot commit ourselves with any certainty. “Art” is a diligent sort of a chap that everyone likes. Although he is always ready for a little joke, he can be serious, too, as you will see if you watch him study. FRANCIS LANDRIGAN There is no one in school who does not know “Sonny” Landrigan; for he has made himself popular by excellent work on the Basket Ball and Baseball teams, being captain of the latter. This fact proves that he is very much liked by his fellow students. Not alone in athletics does he ex- cel, but in his studies; for he has a good mind. If it were not that this mind is sometimes averse to labor, we feel sure Sonny would reach the First Honor Roll. But he will always be remembered as “Sonny,” the cheerful. IRA BEALS Low marks on Ira’s report card are just about as com- mon as a hen’s teeth. Great credit is due Ira for his efforts in securing high standing, for he has worked faith- fully during the four years. With a Civil Engineer’s de- gree as his goal, Ira is preparing to enter “Tech.” Be- sides being a good student, he can “tickle the ivory,” as well as race his fingers up and down a cello. [ 24 ]
