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?

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.

ANNA LOUISE DURANT 124 Florence Street, Now Bedford iina is one of the best-loved residents of Palmer Mall. She is always read} for a good time and never too occupied with the pursuits of knowledge to enjoy a dance al Lincoln Park. ima once visited the fountain of youtli and had a chance i be Young forever, but decided id join the staff of Ford enilm siasl s. MARION KAVANAUGE ELMER 14 Prospect Street, Millers Falls -All right, let ' s go! Rah! Rah! among us will ever forget Marion, oui ah! Fitchburg! Who .- cheerleader, as she gave he signal just before we attempted to burst our throats at those games in die gym? Full of enthusiasm, alive and up-to-the- minute, not only in sports but in school work as well, Marion surely deserves the praise and best wishes that her classmates bestow on her. SABINA BERNICE FLATLEY 62 Spruce Street, New Bedford It gives us great pleasure to introduce Sabina, the little sun- shine of Palmer Hall. We have never requested anything that her general store did not hold, pianos, peanuts or S. B. cough- drops. She persists in holding up the Gardner train while she writes just one more line in that everlasting daily letter. As an arguer, Sabina has no superior, her method being to drown her opponent in a torrent of sound— and some words. If oblig- ing generosity counts in Heaven, we ' ll see Sabina ' s name inscribed on the first page of Gabriel ' s Book. AGNES GERTRUDE FOLEY 196 Main Street, Leominster Last year when we were casting about for a Junior Priscilla lor our Thanksgiving party, we found Agnes. In her costume of gray, her while cap, and long braids hanging over her shoul- ders she might have stepped out of thai famous picture— - Why don ' t you speak for yourself, John? However, it seems she has lost most of her demureness this year, for she is very much alive in all her classes— especially science! With Florence she comes from our neighbor city, where she is as popular as she is at Ni irmal.
