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.

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.

l.OIS ANGELA PITCHER Secretary l He cherish'd thine image for years. Lois in our Sophomore year left us for Flori- da, but the thoughts of a Farr land called her back. We know. Lois that you will be suc- cessful as a commercial teacher and we know you Won't forget Keene High, nor will Keene High soon forget you. BARBARA PLATTS Barb Basketball 2, 3: Track Z Her voice was ever soft Gentle and low, an excellenl thing in women, Though everyone now drives an automobile. Barb still much prefers to stick to her horse. Don't forget K. H. S. Barb. When you're touring Europe, won't you send us a postal card when driving in the Bois de Boulogne? RACHIZI. PRATT Run Be glad and your friends are many, Ray's choice of a Secretarial career in the busi- ness world is an excellent one, Your merry laugh, Ray, will brighten many a dull, sad morning and your steady faithfulness will certainly lead you to success, EDGAR Wll.l,lS REYNOLDS Our thoughts are ours, their end more of our own. Willis always appears very quiet in school, but We judge he knows how to talk outside. Someday we know that, waking up from his revery, a wonderful thought will proceed from his overcrowded brain. With this thought and his perseverance, he will be sure to win in whatever he attempts. GIZORGIZ EDWARD RIX RI'.X'i'Ll.' Hockey 3, -l Tis much he dares: rind, lo that dauntless temper of his mind, He hulh a wisdom tha! dolh guide his Uulorf' Rix could surely mix among the boys and was elected manager of the gridiron team. He played hockey with a vim and received a K in the sport. We certainly wish him the best possible in whatever he attempts.
