THE GREEN AND WHITE 39 WILLIAM SIMMEL Perhaps you have heard that rule for story telling and writing —about keeping the listener and reader in suspense? Well, Bill certainly follows that rule to the letter! We think he ought to cash in on that ability. But he tells us that he hasn't decided what he wants to do next year. Well, at least, we’ve offered a suggestion! MARY SULLIVAN Mary is interested in drawing, dancing (ballroom), dramatics— and other things. But she tells us she hasn't decided as yet on what she would like to do. We know that she will go far so we hope she chooses her vocation soon. Mary is Shirley’s devoted friend. We see them talking together a lot—and did we almost forget to mention Mary’s giggle. Allow us to tell you—it’s famous. MICHAEL ANTHONY TAMBURRO “Mike” If you hear two people arguing, one of them is hound to be Mike. He always knows what he’s talking about too. Don’t ever talk about Prohibition to Mike, as he knows all the ins and outs of it. He’s a good interviewer too, and can write splendid themes about the sea, flying, etc. He goes everywhere and knows everybody, does Mike. JOSEPH TEXEIRA “Tex” Presenting our own Primero. Doesn’t he look just like him? He’s an actor, too, a “big bad man” in our new play. A great dancer, plays basket ball and foot ball. I don’t suppose he’s ever missed a school dance, and you ought to see him do that special step of his. He’s a good sport, too. and he prefers blondes. He has a great habit of taking over the telephone for over a half-hour.

38 THE GREEN AND WHITE MARGUERITE RISCHE Allow us to present the one remaining member of the “Chattering Stenogs,” Marguerite Rische, the girl w'ho keeps us all amused with her funny jokes and stories. Marguerite has rather an unassuming manner but her cheerful disposition makes her a mighty desirable friend. While in high school Marguerite has attended all school functions and school dances. In the near future. Marguerite will brighten some office, as an efficient stenographer and we sure wish her luck. ELIZABETH ROUNDS Here is another shy, diminutive Signorina—Elizabeth Rounds. Although of a retiring disposition, Elizabeth has made many lasting friends during her high school days. Her chief interest is in elocution. Will you ever forget the way she delivered “Sis Hopkins? All Elizabeth’s report cards show good standing in all her subjects. Elizabeth wants to be some one’s stenog, and she sure will be a success. SADIE GRACE RUSSO Here is a very diminutive Mademoiselle of our class. She may be small of statue but she sure has pep. Did you ever attend any of the school games where Sadie was missing? No, she was always there, doing more than her share of the cheering. Besides being an ardent fan of all school sports, Sadie loves dancing. The regular morning session of the Chattering Stenogs’’ would be a failure if it w'ere not for Sadie. In spite of her love of fun. Sadie is a very good student and is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. Next year, she will attend some business college. LYDIA RYONE Whisper! Whisper! Miss Ryone! Must I speak to you again! Yes, it’s Lydia, up to her old tricks. But we all certainly do like her. She certainly lightens the atmosphere in a class room—one in particular! She’s undecided about going in training next year— or maybe she’ll go to college. We hope she’ll make up her mind soon—and tell us of her decision. It interests all of us.

40 THE GREEN AND WHITE FREDERICK WILLIAM VERA Come, boys and girls, give this boy a hand! The boy who after seeing the world, came back and made good. Here is a young man of talent; he draws, sings, dances, acts, paints, converses intelligently on all subjects, and wirtes good poetry. He would make a wonderful salesman but is inspired to do something bigger and better. He is without doubt the most popular boy in the school. Frederick is president of the Student Council Because of his wonderful talent for drawing, we hope that he will follow up that work, and in future years we shall hear of him as a famous artist. WILLIAM WEST And here is another of our star athletes! What will Colt do without them in the years to come? And we’ve seen Bill perform on the stage, too! He specializes in darky parts. He tells us he’s going to the Moses Browm School in Providence next year. We expect we’ll be reading lots about him in the paper. We'll all be interested. HERRMANN WILBUR This is the boy responsible for the sweet music flowing from that saxophone in the school orchestra. And, also, we’ve watched hint perform most admirably upon the stage. But with all that, he still wants to be a chemist—or is it a chemical engineer? We hope he'll like both organic chemistry and Brown. Rhode Island Honor Society. Brown University.
