Ambition: To talk like Guppy. College: Bates. John Davis, a miniature dynamo, the ever helping hand, almost be- come a national liability! We wonder if there ever was a more noto- rious case of mumps than that which John fostered in his cervical regions. Never before had we realized that so many seniors came in such close contact with John until that fateful day when half the senior class bewailed the fact that they had walked to school some two or three blocks behind him. What a way for -a boy like John to spring into prominence! He is a member of Deeringis triumphant debating teamg he has guided the business destinies of the Debating Club and the Breccia 5 he has made a name for himself as a public speaker, but it took a c-ase of mumps to make him a public issuel WALTER DAVIS ffB0gyJ! Course 1 General Activities: Football 3, 45 Baseball 3, 45 Basketball 45 Hockey 45 Track 45 Vice-Pres. of D Club. Hobby: Athletics. College: Yale. For he is a jolly good fellow, and one of Deering's glorious ball- tossers and line-plungers who will never quit in a tight place. But when Bogy laughs his horse laugh -anxious mothers hide their children and the governor calls out the militia! NELLIE M. DEARBORN frDebby:1 rrpolau Course: Classical Activities: Class Play 45 French Play 4. Hobby: Skiing? and all outdoor sports. Ambition: Dietitian. College: Colby. This, dear reader, is Eleanor Nellie Mae Pola Negri Dearborn. The weight of such a name overweighed her mind to such an extent that she descended to us from the class of twenty-three. She carries around a little vanity case to hx her Pola .bangs-and we can tell you on good authority that she s lost more vanity cases than any other girl in the senior class. Her greatest fault seems to be rushing home fifth period to find a letter from Tufts, and she's never dis-appointed! JENNIE M. DENSMORE rfDintyII Course: Commercial Hobby: Outdoor sports. Ambition: Success. Dinty Densmore makes new friends everywhere she goes, No one knows just why it is she can make no foes5 Maybe it's her common sense, or her quiet way. Really, she wins someone's heart every single day. GEORGE DIBBLEE Course: Commercial Now at Portland University. What do you make of this one? Why, nothing wrong, couldn't find a thing. He was a good friend to those who knew him, rather drive a Ford afternoons th-an go out for athletics, and he did good work in his studies. So St. Peter let him by.

We think Ellen's bob is just delicious, and hope she won't let it grow again for a while. And can't she tickle the ivories! You should hear that sweet little song she sings with the Nuke. Her mandolin's quite a jazzer, too. And now she wants to fiddle! Musical's no name for her,-sheis harmonious, a term which applies to her in everything. Ellen is planning to go to Wellesley next year to major in Latin, prob- ably. Here is to her future success and happiness! EDWIN CUMMINGS Course: College Activities: Glee Club 4g Student Service 45 French Play 4. Hobby: Reading. Ambition: To be an oliicer in the army. College: West Point. Here's to Edwin Cummings, so charming and so fair: The idol of the Seniors, the Sheik with golden hair. His blushes are so pretty, he has such a girlish airg When he plays leading lady, no make-up does he wear. But when he goes to West Point we'll Find he's quite a man, For l1e'll become an officer if anybody can.

We'll stick up for her even if she does have a for- bidden interest in P. H. S. If you want to see her blush, just ask her where she got that frat. pin or why she likes Hershey's Chocolate. There's 'a reason. fl DONALD DAVIS X Don Course 1 College Activities: Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 45 Band 1, 2, 3, 43 Cadets 1, 2, 3, 4. Hobby: Music. Ambition: To be a clarinet soloist. College: New England Conservatory of Music. Here we introduce the best clarinet player that the orchestra pos- sesses. When Don plays a solo, sometimes his little finger fails to percolate, and then his cheeks become rosy, and, well-er-but he lin-ally comes across. If you should see a pair' of legs at quick time with a bookbag hanging by them, you will know that it's Don. Great pastime for summer iKJnights! l

College: University of Maine. Here he is, gentle readers-the original inspiration of Kipling's mas- terpiece called Boots There has never been any doubt in our minds that Rudyard must have had a vision of Emery slogging', into senior English when he wrote the immort-al Boots Howsoever, we know plenty of girls who are willing to shout themselves hoarse cheering for him at a football game, and we don't wonder. He is a fullback to be proud of. x HARRY DODGE xbktfi' Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets 1, 2: Band 3, 43 Orchestra 2, 3, 4, Breccia Board: Football 43 Class Treasurer 4.

'M 'M WINNIFRED DYER I:Wi1l1Zi6,J Course : Commercial Activities: Glee Club 4. Isn't Winnie a fine-looking child? Her sleek, glossy brown hair, her twinkling brown eyes, her quiet manners, and school-girl complexion make us envious. She studies, too, we say that she'l1 make a good old-fashioned wife in the good old-fashioned way. MILDRED ELGEE Course: College Hobby: Reading. , We don't know Mildred well enough yet to dig up and divulge to the world all the scandals of her past life, because she arrived only last fall from Limestone and has been so quiet as to escape even the lynx-eyed grind committee. We like your quiet studiousness, Mildred, and will write you a good recommendation any time. - if HAROLD A. ERICKSEN Blo1zdy i Course: Scientihc Activities: Football 2, 3, 4, 55 Basketball 1, 2, 3: Cadets 1, 2, 3, 43 Major in the Cadets, D Club 5. Blondy is the fellow who held down the center job on the football team, and was picked as the best school center in the State. The only thing he needed was a big guard on either side to keep his square head from getting chipped: as he had these, he was safe.
