THE GREEN AND WHITE 21 JOHN JOSEPH BURNS, JR. John is quiet around school but on the outside—Oh, My! He has a keen liking for French—maybe he is interested in someone who is French. John in his spare moments sells soft drinks and other things at the Hope Drug Co. He desires to become a doctor and intends to go to Providence College next year. ESTHER CAREY Sometimes one almost forgets Esther because she is so shy, quiet and unpretentious, but when in need of a reliable girl, look to Esther—and there you will find all you want, in spite of her low tremulous voice that one can scarcely hear. She is a good friend to have. Next year she is to enter R. I. State and take up the Domestic Science Course. MARY MAGDALEN CHARTON Mary is by no means a quiet miss. She is the direct opposite. When Mr. Lane asked the meaning of “garrulous,” Mary was the first to shout “talkative.” Talkative is a word that does her justice. She surely upholds women’s right as champion talkers. Julia is a great pal of hers. Mary is secretary of the class and has fulfilled her duties faithfully. After graduation she hopes to take up nursing. WALTER CHRISTENSEN “SWEDE” “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” Ah! Here we have the athlete of the class. “Swede” is a great runner and football player. When he is not out in back of the school or up on the common he is busy working in the Mayflower Store. Walter is one of the popular boys in the class. For several weeks he used to like to stroll up to the third floor during a certain period. We wonder why? It is rumored that he is a very active member of a certain newly formed club. How about it, “Swede”?

20 THE GREEN AND WHITE ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY OF THE SENIOR CLASS JOHN ANDRADE JOHNNIE “The Gypsy Rover” “Johnnie” our Algebra find! Johnnie seines to be one of those chaps who is smart at mathematics. Maybe this is the reason for his success as a ball player. He joined the school team when a sub-freshman and has been a member of it every year since. This year he is captain and hopes to produce a winning team for Colt. Next year he hopes to attend Rates. Good Luck, Johnnie! EDWARD BLACKMAN “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” A vivid, forceful personality has our friend “Neddy.” Added to this—a wonderful amount of energy and vitality which has made him a very valuable asset to the senior class. He has taken a very active part in all class functions—acting in both “The Gypsy Rover” and “It Pays to Advertise.” He is also editor-in-chief of the Green and White and manager of the base ball team. Next year he expects to take a course in accounting at Bryant Stratton Business College.

22 THE (iREEN AND WHITE FRANK DeFELICE “SNEEGY Behold! The smallest boy in the class and the owner rtf a Ford! “Sneegy” is very popular and is always ready to help with social functions. He is an arithmetic shark, and after graduation expects to take an accountancy course at Bryant Stratton College. CHESTER THOMAS DUNBAR “CHET “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” This young man will probably be an inventor. An inventor of toys, probably, as he usually has some “quaint” thing he has made with which to amuse himself or tease the girls. “Chet” is none other than Donald McChesney, the hard hearted advertising man of “It Pays to Advertise.” He is undecided as to what he will do after graduation. LESTER EISENSTADT “HESSIAN” Lester has the best line in the class. He is interested in athletics and was an important cog in our football team. He is subject to many jokes played on him by “Brick” and the gang, but takes them all laughingly. He assisted Freddie as stage manager of the senior play and blamed Fred for any accident. He is a prominent charter member of the “Triumvirate.” Next year he wishes to take a course in accountancy. JULIA ESTHER FERREIRA “The Gypsy Rover Behold the smallest, one of the noisiest, and wittiest members of the class. Julia is often seen with her pal, Mary, and when they get together and start talking the rest of us are left miles behind. Julia may grow up some day and if she does, we will all be wishing her happiness. Next year she intends to attend Gibbs Secretarial School.
