SUSAN REBECCA O ' LEARY 9 Slone Street, New Bedford For two years Sue has held the helm of the frigate Twenty- Two, and right well she has steered it through calm and stormy weather, with never a mishap in all the long voyage. But one would expect just that from Sue, for she is capable and firm — and yet there lurks within her gray eyes always a twinkle and a laugh. Sue ' s favorite study is History and she has often declared King Philip ' s Wars to he the most interesting possible! The deep, soulful strains of Sue ' s ' cello have ofl stirred our hearts, yea, even after taps has sounded at staid Miller. Our wish is, that the melody m life tor you never cease — and when your ship of dreams comes in may its deck o ' erflow with your desires. Bon Voyage — Sue! JOHN FRANCIS LOFTUS 88 Columbia Street, Adams Jack, our worthy vice-president, is one of the bright lights of our school. No matter what the weather, or when the occasion, this member of our elect bath always a broad smile cast o er his countenance. Then, too, his hair is of — well, shall we call il auburn? — hue, and the reflection of it again adds to the brightness of tin- scene. Jack bails from Adams, that place which, according to n citizens here at Normal, is a land overflowing with milk and honey. However, its honor roll has Jack ' s name inscribed thereon, lor be is one of the most popular, ambitious and hardworking young men at school. Mis ability and personality are a guarantee to a place in Who ' - Who ol I960 or thereabouts, and all our best wishes for success air his.

Ill ' LEN M .RY I ' H( IRO 13 Fulton Street, Fitchburg Helen ' s popularity is evinced by the Fact thai she has become a part ol the school. The office is quite an attractive place since she has taken charge of it. We are all sorry to leave Helen behind us, bul cheer up— by the looks ii will not be for long. These brown eyes have done lots of damage. Noted for her pleasant disposition and her rosy cheeks. MARGARET GERTRUDE RIORDAN 9 Hobson Street, Fitchburg Margaret is one of our big members. She helped to run the office last year and proved to be an efficient business woman. Besides being a debater, Mobby, as secretary of the Athletic Association and editor of the Alumni Department in the Year Book, has done more than her share to make our school the best. If reports speak true, she is some ball player! We ex- pect to see Margaret as Chief Elocutionist in an Old Ladies ' Home some day. BARBARA ELEANOR WEBSTER Flat Rock Road, Fitchburg Barbara thought she would take a short-cut to the Highway of Learning, but luckily for us she decided to sail the seas with our class. From reports Barbara is strong on Winter Sports. How about the toboggan rides?

MARIAN ELIZABETH BANNISTER 19 Tilton Street, Fitchburg All last year Marian studied pedagogy and method ai our sister school, Worcester, but September found her registered al I- ' . X. S. and putting into practice all the studying accomplished in the Heart of the Commonwealth. We have found her obliging and willing at all times to help in any of our activities. Ruth and Marian have been inseparables since firsl quarter and to them both we extend our best wishes for success. YVONNE MALVINA BELLROSE 7 Summer Street, West Warren When we lirst came to Normal we displayed (according to Yvonne) a decided ignorance of our home geography: and simply because we didn ' t know where West Warren was! But it wasn ' t many days before we found out its representative was all O. K. and ' a good sport — so we have judged the town to be worthy of our remembering it evermore. At first, Yvonne seems rather quiet and sh — but we hear there have been several real explosions when she found her cot sewed up so as to make sleeping in il impossible! Yvonne ' s idea of bliss is to be able to sit clown and knit a half-dozen sweaters in a day; and at the rate she does knit, we wouldn ' t be surprised if she could surpass that record. We strongly recommend her as a patient, tactful teacher. EOLIXE McKENDRY BEXT South Village, Ashby Whenever we bear Eoline talk the quotation comes to our mind, Her voice was soft and sweet, like winds in summer sighing. And we wish the occasion might permit so she could sing to us. Eoline is our prima donna and we are very, very proud of her. She and Gladyse are inseparables— their motto being, Where thou goest, there go I. MILLICENT ALETHEA BURGESS 190 Suffolk Street, Holyoke Here everyone, is Al — than whom there is no one more popu- lar and pleasant. ' Who has not known Al ready on all occa- sions to go awav out of her own path to make easy the way f .mother— whether by lending a darning needle or by shoulder- ine a heavy part in somebody ' s program to help the chairman ■put it over big. There are few who have not felt her helpful- ness, and we are in one accord to vote her our heartfelt thanks. 1 was the luckv winner of the first prize in the Wallace Music Essay Contest— and the school showed its approval in the mighty cheer it gave her name. She also is one of our stars before the footlights, having participated in nearly all our plays and outdoing herself in She Stoops to Conquer. but far trom being to,, studious, Al livens up many a class with some antic that never misses its mark. In gym work Al stands very high —and those green bloomers! oh, well, someone was jealous. If ,he possibilities of the future be measured by the accom- plishments of the past then our expectations will surely De gratified.
