And now behold I he pet of the Senior class— Chick.” Lie is always ready to help anyone in trouble, and their affairs often end in disaster for “Chick.” Not long ago “Charlie” boarded a Newport car to go to help “Uncle Sam” in his Navy, but lie was too young, and we thankfully received him back into our midst. Do you know, if it were not for “Chick” a good many of our ice cream parlors would fail! The reason? Chocolate walnuts. “Charlie” is an expert at every sport of which you can think. IJut all, he is somewhat of an actor: two years ago lie starred in “The Million Dollar Mys- tery” in an open-air theatre near his home.

She lias added to her bright, reputation in Durfee. where she has en- joyed the varied social life. “Jen” is one of those patriotic young ladies who, in future years, expect to teach the Kaiser house- keeping.

After samp- ling ihe grammar schools of Roselle Park and Chepacbot, R, I., Vivian decided to try Dur- ft'o and liked it. so well that she consented to remain and graduate with us.

THE DURFEE RE CORD 21 MARJORIE WOOD CLARKSON Jurj Anycl-facv” Lot us put the spotlight on another mem- ber of the (’lass of 1918. This one came from the X. I . Borden Grammar School after she had decided that that school held no more charms for tier. Since Marj lias twice changed her course she has had an op- portunity to become learned in a diversity of subjects. She inclines toward mathe- matics. Don’t get the impression, we heg of you, that Angel-face is as good as her name implies. On the contrary she has an omnipresent giggle. Marj also enjoys walking or a good game of tennis as recrea- tion. At Christmas time she lent lie)' voice to swell the melody of our exquisite (V) carols. Just, now Angel-face V ambition is to become a grade teacher after training at Framingham Normal.

During her short sojourn at I)urfee Kitty's fun-loving nature attracted another genial spirit. Emily by name, and between them they banished all care and worry from the class. “Kitty's favorite pastimes are tennis and skating and from personal observation we would add taking geology trips. The committee for collecting names for the Dnrfee Honor Roll found in Kitty” a willing and conscientious worker. The whole class will feed regret when Kit- ty leaves us to enter the Lowell Normal School, to fit herself for her life work of teaching. .she has more wit in her little inner than, non in nonr irhufe hod .
