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]

‘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 ]

“Of what shall a man be proud if he is not proud of Ms friends?” — Stevenson. ROSE ALEXANDER Rose very cleverly dresses her hair to correspond with the standard of her lessons. Indeed, we wonder how she places a hat on such a high coiffure. In basketball, she excels, having won both class numerals and letters in that sport. She acted as captain of her team while in the Junior Class. BARBARA GREELISH Poor Barbara’s greatest trial is the taming of her curly locks. As this takes time, and Barbara has none be- tween her arrival and the beginning of school, the afore- said locks have their own sweet way. Perhaps this is fortunate, for they hide her blushing embarrassment in English. Barbara is very reserved and shy in school, but once she steps outside, she sheds that atmosphere like a cloak and reveals a spirit full of life and bubbling over with fun. RALPH BRASSILL “Ralphie” is our “Dapper Dan.” It isn’t necessary to see Ralph’s face to know of his proximity; his cravats loudly proclaim his arrival before his freckled countenance comes into view. But Ralph’s good qualities are many. He is very popular, a good student, and especially profi- cient in all phases of athletics. PAULINE CURTIS They say that fat people are lazy. Therefore, we are inclined to think that our energetic Pauline is not fat. If you want to start something, dx-op a hint to Pauline. It is her hobby. But the best of it is, she will stay to the finish. Not only is Pauline capable in this line, but in singing and writing also. With her untiring enthusiasm and vigor, she wall surely win her way in the world. [ 26 ]
