She is never too busy to stop and tell you the latest funny thing that has happened. W'e should all miss a lot of good things if l'hil were not around to tell them to us. She is also one of our best bookkeeping students. having received an A mark during the entire course. Some day her employer will proudly point her out as one who made but a single mistake in twenty years. Good luck to you, Phil! HELEN Rnomgs Helen IIN t'harm.v .vtrikv Ihr' sight. Her nmrits win, the soul. If you want to meet a good sport and a pretty girl. get some- one to introduce you immediately to Helen. Her popularity is an established fact among the girls-not to mention the boys. The typewriter must have its charms for Helen, as she chose the Commercial Course, which she successfully completed. Often she has received certificates in the hall for her fine work in typewriting. Oh, that we might all be such typists! Here's a bet ten to one. VVhen Helen applies for a position as some- one's private secretary, if every place is taken, we contend that as soon as Helen is seen that someone will have a new secretary. We're all with you, Helen, stick to it. tf. ALB!-Liu' SELINDER HAI., 'Tix non' the summer of your youth: Time has not cropped the roses from your drank.

He seldom makes his presence felt in class room hy anv boisterousness. However. in Physical Training there is no limit to bis versatility. In fact, l believe Al uses his arms a little too vigorously, thereby endangering the lives of some of the little tots near him. Al always has some brilliant remark in class. although his pack of hooks, which he takes home nightly, seems smaller than the average pack. He is also quite a hero with the ladies, hut that does not in any way hinder his good work in school, even though he may blush when approached in regard to Haffaires de coeur. Keep up your good work in business as you have in school, and we are sure that success will be yours in life.

Ed is another ball player and is an efficient guard of the tirst sack. His one-hand stabs after the ball are always success- fully made, to the wonder and dismay of his rivals. He is also some scholar. VVitness that he is taking his fourth year of Latin! Anyone who can get so far is no dolt. Then, too, he is a social man, for he helped to make the minstrel show a suc- cess. Ed's greatest beauty asset is his blush. NVhen Mr. Bosworth pans him out in Latin, Ed's blush appears in all its glory and 'tis truly nice to gaze upon. Ed intends to go to Brown in the fall, where we predict a brilliant future for him. ALliER'1' Muoifouii Al, 'tMuggie liar my :'oi:t1, I lmrv' not los! il ill-lmlloinyt1r1d.vifzgi11gt1nlhem.v.

About two years ago there came to us from the Hourishing town of Bridgeport, a comely youth possessing the appellation of Albert Mugford. These two short years, however, have been sufficient for AI to make a great many friends at Cran- ston. Muggie cares not for athletics except as he has held the position of assistant manager of the football team. but he CAN sing CF9. At first sight one would naturally suppose Al to be rather bashful, but do not fear, girls--he is harmless and quite likable in a very few minutes. Al is another one who aspires to enter the Kingston portals and we know that both masculine and feminine admirers will send their good wishes with him on his weary way.

Miss Madelyn Powers, commonly known as Madge. She is one of the best known and most popular girls in our class. VVhen it comes to planning dances, choosing favors, or designing costumes, Madelyn is a peach. Then, too, Madge has done almost all of the typewriting for this year's C'rm1.vfouii1u. Her fidelity and school spirit will surely be greatly missed. Wie sus- pect her of a hankering for Canadag alld her assertion in ling- lish that all good dentists come from there, seems to prove this. How about it, Madge?

Behold Smithie, the most distinguished individual in the Scnior class! just glance over his list of accomplishments! Not only is he a cracker-jack debater and editor-in-chief of this illustrious volume, but as a math shark he rivals Euclid alone, as Miss Richmond will tell you. As a matter of fact, he is a star in all his subjects and his apparently inexhaustible store of knowledge often makes Freedman and Beehan squirm with envy. He is another of that predominating quiet sort of person. Until his Senior year any meek little Freshman would have been unable to tell you who Elmer Smith was. Yet now all you would have to do would be to speak the magic word and out would come the above list of activities like a tune out of a hand-organ. VVell, Smithie, that year was sufficient to win for you the love and respect, not only of your own class, but of the school as well, and when you continue your meteoric career at Brown. our sincere good will will go with you, and the friends you made at Cranston will all be wishing you the best of luck.

Baseball appears to be his fate, and football second in orderg then, too, he is strong in hockey. But his interest in athletics is not only in the Field. for he was in three minstrel shows, gaining position of endman thc last time. Furthermore, in his connection with athletics, he has held important ofhcial positions. But Bill is by no means a one- sided man. He belonged to the Thyrsus Club and the Scientific Society. And further. he's quite a lady's man. His winning smile gets them! We conclude from the fact that Bill has taken the commercial course that he is going into business life. VVell. if he plays business as he plays baseball, we will hear more of him in the future, as a manufacturer or bank president.
