THE (iREEN AND WHITE 25 BENEDETTO ANTONY MIANO “BEN” “Ben” is the class barber. He gives good haircuts and close shaves at his father’s shop any day in the week. Never start an argument with “Ben.” He is sure to finish it. He is a willing worker and as a member of the executive committee has performed his work faithfully. Next year he intends to attend a university in California. Good luck, Ben. THOMAS MAURICE MORRIS “BRICK” A whistle,—a laugh,—and a crop of red haid appear on the scene. Trouble soon follows. “Brick” just can’t help it for he is one of those boys who believe that life is made for fun and frolic—and so he must have his good time. “Red” as he is sometimes called, took a very active part in baseball and was given honorable mention for the “All Rhode Island Schoolboy Football Team,” this year. DONALD FRANCIS MORRISSEY “DON “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” Donald is a fast stepper. It you want Charleston lessons, he is the one to see. “Don” loves to dance the Charleston with Viola. We wonder why? He has scholastic ability and has been rewarded by membership in the Rhode Island Honor Society. Donald was leading man in the class play and has been “selling soap” ever since. After graduation he expects to take an accountancy course at Bryant Stratton College. WALTER COOKE NEWTON “WALLY” “Wally” is a cpiiet chap, so cpiiet that often he will not recite in class for fear he cannot control his voice. He has a great affection for his brother, as they are almost inseparable pals. Wally is secretary and treasurer of the Bachelors’ Club and claims he will never marry until “Art” Brown, its president, breaks the tape first. Next year he hopes to enter R. I. State College.

24 THE (iREEN AND WHITE MARY ELIZABETH KELLEY Mary looks quiet, but don’t be deceived, because she is about the most determined girl of the class. Once she forms an opinion it is pretty hard to get her to change and we sure do admire her “stick-to-it-tive-ness.” Would you like a recipe for good candy? Get it from Mary because she certainly knows how to make it. As a typist, she excels, winning several awards during the year. In the autumn, Mary expects to enter R. I. College of Education. BETTY LANE KINDER “JAZZBABY” “The Gypsy Rover” “It Pays to Advertise.” This charming miss is Betty, one of the liveliest members of the class. Betty played the leading role in “The Gypsy Rover” and “It Pays to Advertise.” Wherever she goes, she is humming “I I ove My Baby” or some other jazzy piece. Betty is treasurer of the class and has taken good care of the class funds. ELOISE MARY McGRATH “The Gypsy Rover “It Pays to Advertise.” Eloise has a hearty laugh and is good natured. A smile for all is her motto. Much of her time is occupied in keeping tabs on ber boy friend, but she has found enough spare time to take parts in the two plays put on by the students this year. Eloise hopes to go to Rhode Island State College next fall. Good luck, Eloise! ROSE BEATRICE McGOVERN Here is another very quiet member of the class. Rose doesn’t waste very many words but she sure is one good worker. If you are in need of help with your arithmetic, look to Rose. She sure will help you and you may rest assured that the work is right. Next year she hopes to go to R. I. College of Education.

26 THE (iREEN AND WHITE CHARLES SUGDEN NEWTON “CHARLY” Charly is the world’s champion for walking the least number of miles. He rides to school in his “flivver,” rides home, rides here, rides there, but never seems to walk. He is a likeable chap and very interesting. We all have our jokes with him but he doesn’t mind it a bit. After leaving high school Charly intends to go to R. 1. State College. JOSEPHINE NUSSENFELD A gentle, refined nature, has our classmate, Josephine. She is a very quiet, unobstrusive girl, seeking recognition from none—unless every five weeks when her name fails to appear on the honor list as it should. Then we discover that our fair-haired Josephine is quite capable of getting excited. Josephine is most efficient and belongs to the R. I. Honor Society. Next year she is to attend Boston University. FRANK PANZARELLA Frank has made friends with all during the last four years. He is always ready to give the use of his truck to some school undertaking. The athletic managers will vouch for that. He is capable of attaining a good average in his school work and next year hopes to go to Bates. ROSE POWERS “The Gypsy Rover “It Pays to Advertise.” This is our expert typist and stenographer. Rose is always called upon to do extra work when there is any to be done. She is usually seen in the corridor or the auditorium after school with her friend, Iola, and a crowd of boys. Rose took the part of Zara in the musical play and the part of Countess in the comedy “It Pays to Advertise,” and convinced the audience that she could act. Next year, Rose expects to enter R. I. College of Education.
