‘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 ]

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]

Class Motto: “To be rather than to seem ” ANNIE BRODERICK Bright! That surely is Annie — in English anyway. She is always bright and happy, till things don’t go just right. She spends her fifth periods noisily — typewriting. Her ambition is to be a secretary, so, girls, beware, or you will lose your anticipated positions. ALICE WHEELER We have welcomed this brilliant P. G. into our class with great pleasure, for her many admirable qualities and con- genial personality make her an agreeable friend. Alice excels in all her studies, too, and we are sure that with her character and ability, she will be an unusual success in the world. BERNECE COX Here is our sunny Bernece, sunny in disposition and i:. looks. Not only is she a gloom dispeller, but a very handy young person. Among her various accomplishments are those of tending chil dren, making excellent fudge, and keeping house. Bernece says she is a poor cook, and be- cause of this, she fears she will lack a husband. Don’t worry, Bernice, there are many men who can afford a cook. We must not forget to mention this young lady’s ability in dramatics which has been shown in more than one of our school plays. FRANCES PREBLE Never mind, Frances, even if you are always late. What do you care? As long as you don’t woi ' ry about it, why should anyone else? Even though you are rarely on time, it is always better late than never, isn’t it? With your happy-go-lucky way, “Fran,” you will have friends wher- ever you go. [25]
