Cast your eyes, my specimen of an ideal exhibited for the first W masculine beauty, he plishments. especially BEATRICE ALLEN -' ' Bea might be termed the feminine class out-up, for wherever there is any mischief or tun going on you are generally sure to tinii her, and right in the very midst of it. too. Her ever-ready smile and laugh are the ail- miration of the whole school. and they haxe the most popular young But she is sometimes serious. for in Spanish. a. subject in which she is quite proticient. she hais put much time and effort into an attempt to v-amp Mr. Stevens.

RAYMOND BABISIDGE Four years ago a quiet boy from liott's Island. a small island off the coast of Maine near Bar Harbor, Came all the way to Port- land in order to attend Deering High School and to prepare for college. At Hrst he was inconspicuous, but it was not long before his quiet, unassuming ways began to make friends for him. Ray is not one of our silver tongued orators, athletes, nor hrilliant stu- dents, but his quiet ways have made him known and well liked hy the entire class. ALICE H. BAGLEY Once upon a time there came to the hip' school at Deering a little girl, and her name. my dears. was Alice. She was so tiny and in-sig-nif-i-cant that every time she went into a great big classroom she would have to tell the teacher, for they eouldn't see her at all. Never mind, Alice. don't pay any attention to this bahy talk. For we know. as well as anyone. that you have outgrown anything like that, even if you do tell Bear Stories at Prize: Speaking contests.

VVhat is it this time, the Charleston on top of the desks in 209, or is it a handspring on the cafeteria's tahles? VVhat- ever mischief is afloat, BlOcky's sure to have a prominent part in it. Notwithstanding his reckless ways, Blocky's friends are many, and no wonder, for he's one of the finest fellows in Our class, and has done much for lmth class :ind school. PAUL BUULOS You've got a line ambition, Paul! and if you study like you have in high school, you'll get there all right. Paul is one of the greatest students of the class, always going from some- where to somewhere else in an awful hurry, He always has that frenzied look on his face of one who has a day's work to do and only an hour in which to do it. But Paul gets it done, whether it's French, or Latin fthat's where he shinesl. or Math. ARNOLD T.
