MARY G. BURKE Mary is one of our vivacious classmates, always smiling and laughing. Our future business men ought to make a note of the fact that she wants to be either a stenographer or perhaps a secretary. “Sunbonnet Girl” 1; “Gypsy Rover” 3. MARY L. BURKE “Burkie” is an all-round good sport. Her jovial disposition and cheery smile have brought her many friends. Tons of dynamite could not disturb her good nature. We all wish her success as a hair- dresser. “Sunbonnet Girl 1. ELIZABETH BUTLER Betty is slim, dark, and tom- boyish and used to want to be an aviatrix. We don’t see much of her around here — maybe she has outside interests. Basketball 1, 2. MARY CANAVAN This good looking girl with the nice smile is another one who aspires to be a hairdresser. Mary is very modest but everyone else is betting that she will be a big suc- cess. Gym Team 2. BETTIE CARTER Sorry to say, the interest of this snappy dresser seems to be cen- tered in Scituate. Mr. Jones’ hobby is to make her get over her bashful- ness in class. Bettie is seriously considering becoming a nurse. FRANCES CHAMBERLAIN “Franny” is another one of our sunny classmates. She has an ad- mirable disposition and gets along with everybody All the boys will want to go to school again when they hear that she wants to be a teacher in a private school. “Gypsy Rover” 3; Wampatuck 3; Junior Prom 3; ‘Who Discovered America?” ‘4; Class Motto 4. HENRY CINCERE Henry {dans to enter Tufts so future years will probably find him removing tonsils and adenoids.

MARGUERITE CLARK Marguerite likes to draw and with the aid of her artist : c ability she hopes to become an illustrator of feminine fashions.

FRANCIS CLOUGHERTY He is the bane of a teacher ' s existence but well liked and always has an answer ready. Francis has no plans for his future, but may someday play hockey in Madison Square Garden or solve the prob- lems of our democracy. ALICE COLEMAN Alice is that petite young lady you see doing turn-overs in the Gym Exhibitions. Though small of stature, she is certainly a grand little gymnast and a whiz on the dance floor. With her personality Alice will climb high with great ease. Gym Team 2, 3. ELEANOR COLLINS We see her and “Dot” around together constantly. Eleanor likes office work and excels in swimming and, by the way, did you ever see her blush? Basketball 1. ELIZABETH CONARY One of our quiet students but an energetic sewer and a girl with a very nice personality. Betsy is going to college next year to study dietetics and we know that she will be very successful at it. “Sunbonnet Girl” 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. 12
