PC 52 W' fu F- ' ' 1 QD urn e atsher l CURTISS BERNARD DOOLING Fifclzburg, ifllamfaclzuwelfm Here you behold the politician, the well-known confidence man from Fitch- burg. Smooth? Silk and Cuff are synonyms. Worry? No such word in his vocabulary. Happy? Curt is Pollyanna's big brother. He and studies got along famously, and as far as we know, he was never once in difficulty in all his four years on the outskirts of South Worcester, and all this without the slightest sign of mental strain or effort. Curl was never known to be serious in any gathering for any length of time, and his famous brand of humor was quite sufficient to wreck any serious con- versation. He was the bane of alarmists and calamity-howlers, driving them all to cover with his scornful laugh. Latin and controversy were always Curt'.r fortes. As we break up for the big controversy with life, Curl, old boy, we sincerely trust that your good cheer will bear you over the pinnacle of success. Fitchburg Club, I, 2, 3, 4 B. V. 111.

He is laying the foundation for that material success which he so justly merits. Holy Cross teams, athletic or scholastic, ever found Iohn a loyal rooter, and the "system" always found him blissfully undisturbed by its terrors.

Qurnle ifllatcher 5 l IOSEPH HAROLD DRISCOLL Portland, ftlaine In the fall of '25, when Joe first brought his spontaneous smile from the sunrise city of Portland to the Mount of Pleasant Springs, instant-and inti- mate friendship was his immediate reward. Friends swarmed to him, charmed by his ever-beaming countenance and ready flow of wit. Thus Ioe's room became, in a short while, the magnetic gathering place of future humorists, who were wont to fling their sallies at whomsoever chancecl in. Possessed of a keen analytical mind, he soon evinced a strong liking for the classicists and philosophers, and has spent in their company many a happy and profitable hour. This scholarly taste, happily joined to his ready good nature, will carry him far on the road to success, bringing contentment to himself, and satisfaction to his friends. - We are not yet aware what profession Joe has chosen, tor he has the peculiar virtue of reticence, but wherever fate may lead him we are certain that suc- cess will grace his footsteps and that honor will gild his name.
