JANE ELIZABETH COLLINS 912 Robeson Street, Fall River I he first day we saw Jane ' s name listed on the register we knew ui 1 were going to like her. Such ;i nice, sensible name, v;iul we, and we hunted for n masculine to match it. We found lack the best possible balance, and set the two to verse: Jack and Jane went down the lane — Our much-advertised pen refuse- to complete the stanza at this date. Mayhap more anon as Robert W. Chambers would say. Whether she ' s trying to play a folk-dance on the gym piano or copying psychology notes for someone else — Jane ' s smile never diminishes. We know the end will bring her Smilin ' thru on top! MARY FRANCES CONNORS 3 Arcade Street, Whitinsville We teachers must stick together — that is what Frances says. Evidently she believes in the saying, United we stand, divided we fall. We are all willing to remain together, hut Frances is so loyal to her home town that she cannot bear to leave it. She is going to start her career in a little red school- house on a hill overlooking Whitinsville. We prophesy that if she does as well there as she did managing her class of boys at Edgerly the state will find in her its A teacher. HELENA AMANDA CROUCH 36 High Street, Gardner A daughter of the gods — divinely tall is Helena, who claims Miller Hall her residence. The alto section of the Glee Club relied on her mezzo forte to uphold that part in the big chorus. She haunts the postoffice morning, noon and night for that precious letter from Worcester. We have high hopes for Helena ' s future — and we ' re sure we won ' t lie disappointed. RUTH AGNES CUSHMAN 116 Lawrence Street, Fitchburg Ruthie has been part of the institution for three years, having taught typewriting to the Junior High School classes all last year. This year the Senior class was fortunate in having her on its roster, for a more efficient student would he hard to find. She spends her leisure time in the library with Marian poring over volumes of garden lore. We expect her thesis will some day find itself in print and in the hands of other agricul- turalists.

FLORENCE AXXA BURNS 114 Winter Street, Leominster Everyone knows Florence, both because she is one of the popular members of the class and one of the best orators in the school. I Hiring those memorable debates how many times have we, her proud classmates, heard her vocal organs running on high in assembly, astonishing her eager open-mouthed listeners, and silencing the weak short-winded arguments of her poor adversary! She begins the day with a joy-ride from the cellu- loid city, which puis her in tune for her classes. Florence is interested in all activities of I- ' . . S., and we know she will carry this interest into her future work. C VTHERINE CANTY East Quincy Street. North Adams Catherine, the most attractive blonde in the whole class, lirst smiled on us one sultry September day. We immediately forgot the task oi registration and concerned ourselves with getting acquainted with her. Catherine is the only female representa- tive of that eternal city, North Adams, but if loyalty and - I sportsmanship are qualities exhibited by all North Adamsers, then Catherine is a true daughter of thai place. There have been rumors around school that Catherine is inter ( ied in the ( ti.n Union. If that ' s the case, we can see her making Weston sandwiches, too! M RTIS IRENE II K 75 Lynde Street, lardner Myrtis entered Normal with the rest of ib in the fall of 1920, i,nd immediately busied herself with the various activities ol her new life. During her two years ' stay here she has a hard and diligent worker, and the results of her labor have been well worth while. One thing we noticed last year was the mention of ham on her menu every day. We wish her sui in lur New Jersej position. 1 i.i r,i.i n J k IS CHILDS 29 Spring Street. I itchburg Betty wields her brush like a veritable Raphael, and for this reason -be was cb..sen as assistant drawing instructor for ■.ear. During this year we have seen obscure blackboards formed into beautiful gardens under the swift, sui of her crayon. She is known throughout the school ;i amiable and generous student. We hope all her desi lay CI He true.

HELEN J. DACEV 25 South Street, Fitchburg We have with us today the distinguished Miss Dacey! Distinguished for what? some may ask, and we can truthfully say, for many things. They are too numerous to mention, but we feel some of this quiet girl ' s accomplishments need publi- cation. For instance, the famous production Snow White, starring Messie, was produced by Helen. They say she had a hard time dodging the reporters and movie men around, who, too, would make her famous. Space will not permit us to say more — hut we are assured of her success, for she meets all tasks with a smile. DOROTHY MA I ' d: I. DENNO 417 River Street. Winchendon When Dorothy came to the Mill school two years ago her ambitions must have been very high, for she has accomplished much. Being of a quiet and unobtrusive disposition, it was some days before we became acquainted with her. The many limes she has been summoned from class to do outside substituting is guarantee that she will receive a first-rate position in the fall. Her genuine fellowship and good humor will win and preserve main- friends for her. I. ok i HRISTINE DONELSON North River Bridge, Shelburne Falls Lor. i is the tailor-made maid of Miller, and -be lives up to her reputation by being proper on all occasions. ' I be words not prepared have newer found utterance in Lora, lor that little notebook of hers contains condensed volumes of knowledge. -1;, and niia are room-male- and newer once have they been known to show even the slightest tremor when visited bj members of the longtail familj of mice. That ' s a record, too. It will be bard to separate two Mich linn friend- a- these, when [une come-. We wish them both succi WW IF. BELLE DUDLEY Dudley Road, Townscnd Who? When? Where? Why? What? Annie, demure and unobtrusive a- -be i-, hath ever a question at the end i her tongue. nd of such a puzzling nature are those questions that even our worthy professors find ii bard at limes to answer them. For two years -be has been one of Mr-. Rogers ' faithful proteges. Onh once did she break a rule, when -be assumed the clarion call ' of the channel. er and awoke the inhabitants of Miller wiib her cries. However, nnie was onlj one ■■ naughty group but -be was dulj forgiven on the plea
