JAMES J. MCGINNESS Jim President 3: Football 1: Baseball 3, 4 I dare do all that may become a man: Who dares do more is none. A'Jimmy the Trojan was our Junior class president. We are sorry Jim took the 2.19 train every day because he was not then able to take part in the sports which he loved so well. We never realize that you were interested in Mechan- ics, 'AJimmy, or we would have put you to work. FRED J. MERRILL What virtue canst thou trace, In that broad brim that hides thy sober face? Fred was interested in machinery, so he took shorthand, trying to see what kinds of hgures he could make out of the Characters. Good machin- ists are certainly scarce, so he is using his time to the best advantage. HAROLD BARRETT NIMS Biddy Silence is the mother of Truth. Biddy really never says very much, but we know he does a great deal of deep thinking. His playing on the courts made up his stillness in the classroom. Biddy always Qmed thoroughly to enjoy himself, when engaged in class discussion and recitations. ALICE ANNA O'LEARY Al Secretary 3: Minstrel Chorus 4 There is a language in her eye, her cheek, her lip. Al sure is some Hne girl and fast too, espec- ially on a toboggan, If speed is a necessary requisite for a good stenographer, she surely has it. I-lere's luck to you Al. MARY EVA OLMSTEAD Eve Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In euery gesture dignity and love. Eva always is laughing, smiling, or talking, so it is quite natural that reading is her hobby. We wonder if a biography of Florence Nightingale influenced her choice of nursing as a profession. We're sure she will be a credit to her chosen work. If we are sick, Eve, we'll let you know.

NELSON W. MARTIN Nel Football 2, 3, 4: Hockey 3, 4 Medicine is to be praised when it is in the hands of a physician that is learned, grave, wise, stayed and of experience. Nel will make a wonderful doctor, for we know he's a good fighter. This is shown by his wonderful work for us on the gridiron and on the hockey rink. He can keep his patients Inter- ested with accounts of Keene High battles. Wll.I.lAM FREDYUM MARTIN Football 3 Be assured, I go to use my hands, and not my tongue. Bill has a great liking for water in both its natural and frozen state. As a skater he proves his ability to master its frozen surfaces, and as a naval officer, we are sure he will feel at home and he greatly respected by his associates. ELPHEGE JOSEPH MARTINEAU Al Hockey 2, -4: Baseball 2, 3, -lc Minstrel Show 2. 3, 4 H1 go, I go: look howl go: Swifter than an arrow from the Tartar's bow. Al doesn't need geometry to show him how to cut figures on the ice: he can do it without the help of the science of Euclid. We will never forget you. Al, in the Minstrel Show, putting over those clever jokes of yours. NIll.O ALBERT MATTSON Deeds not words. Niilo is always too busy in the shop to enter into sports, but we know he does enjoy them. Some years fiom now an A l machinist will es- cape once a week from his daily routine to watch Keene High School win victories. FLOYD MCARTHUR 'I'ho' he seems so very quiet, There's a sparkle in his eye That causes all his teachers To heave full many a sigh. We just have to give Floyd a machine in the machine shop, and he is happy to spend the whole day there. We wish him the greatest success.

NORMAN H. PERREAULT Norm Basketball 3, 4: Football 2, 3, 4: Baseball 2, 3, 4: Track 2, 3, 4: Minstrel 4 But coach! coach! coach! Oh, for a coach, ye gods! Norm as an athlete was a howling success and his interest and achievements in athletics of course influenced his choice of a profession. We hope that some day our younger brothers will be coached on the gridiron by our old classmate. CHARLES W. PERRY Chick Basketball 3, 4: Track 4: Football 2, 3: Treas- urer 1: President 2 O, 'tis a parlous boy Bold, quick, ingenious, forward, capable. Chick's hobby, athletics, is probably due to his amazing success in basketball. He certainly brought fame to himself, good luck to the team, and honor to the class. WILLIAM H. PHILBRICK Bill Treasurer 2: Minstrel Chorus 2, 3, 4: Play l To God, thy country, and thy friend be true. Bill is one taxpayer's son who enjoys having his money spent on improvements on the roads to Swanzey Fatary. Bill can always get war' rants to force people to do things, but we doubt if he needs any of these for --. HELEN CAROLINE PHILLIPS Skimmy Whate'er she did was done with so much case, In her alone 'twas natural to please. Skimmy never does much talking with us, but quietness is a wonderful virtue and she will win in anything she may attempt. Although she hasn't as yet chosen a career, her willingness to work and cheery disposition will aid her in her future work. BLAKE PITCHER 1'31ahit-' Chaste words proceed still from a bashful mind. Blakie is a southemer, at least he comes from South Keene. Pitcher is interested in Normal School. How much money do you spend on Jelly-beans, Blakie? But then, suc- cessful bankers always do have lots of money.
