LAWRENCE E. ALDRICH Monk M. A. Club 3: Hockey 1 On the wings of the wind. Monk is right at home in the great out-of- doors, especially, when on skiis or skates. We understand that Monk is going to become a high flyer for he intends to enter an aviation school after graduation. MYRTLE SHAW ATHERTON N an Mu Delta Rho 3: Commercial Club 3, 4 A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. You ought to see Nan make the typewriter keys fly! Commercial students of '28 will surely miss hearing her pound the keys. If she is as successful as a teacher of commercial sub- jects as she has been as a typist, we know she will rise to the top. GORDON AYER Orchestra 1, 2, 3: Band 4 And thereby hangs a tale Gordon is a quiet fellow around the school but, oh my, when he starts putting wind through the working end of a saxophone, how the time does fly. We don't think Gordon ever retires before 12 a. m. for between the members of the Normal School and his radio, he is kept very busy. Northeastern will be very fortunate, Gordon, to be able to welcome you to its school next year. ROLAND WILFRED BAKER Nap M. A. Club 3, 4 My heart is true as steel. Why did they call you Nap, Roland? Pos- sibly you take a few naps in the store, but we advise you not to if you are to become a Manager. We wish you the best of luck, any- way, Nap. JAMES BALLOU, JR. Jim Football 1, 2, 3, 4 The smaller they are the harder they fall. Jim, we are inclined to think, as he, him- self, admits, that he, too, prefers b1ondes. Well, Jim, we hope that when you are a dentist you will have lots of them to practice on.

MARTIN POWERS . Bump Valedictory: President 4: Orchestra I, 2, 3, 4: Enterprise 2, 3, 4: Harvard Book Prize 3: Football 4 The survival of the Fittest, He proved best man in the field. Martin, K. H. S. will miss you in its many activities-especially as an orator. Your many writings have drawn much favorable comment. and you draw as line a bow as befits a concert master. We congratulate and hail you as Val- edictorian of our class, for you justly deserve it. We know you will succeed as an editor of some newspaper, for your fitness for this work has already been shown by your editorship of the Enterprise. HAZEL DARLING Latin Club 3, Mu Delta Rho 3, 4: Vice-Presi- dent 4, Minstrel 1, Year Book 4: Honor Student Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love. Darling is Bent upon being a school- teacher. We certainly know she will be a good one. We think perhaps she might also be able to coach a basket-ball team, having seen rc- cently so much of an authority upon the sub- ject. Hazel shines in all her studies and we know that in the future she will help others to shine in theirs. HAROLD BRIDGE Mike Treasurer 4: M. A. Club l, 2, 3, 4 Hang sorrow! care will kill a cat, and there- fore Iet's be merry. Mike, you certainly have been it in a great many of our school activities. Without you, we surely would have been lost. We have appreciated your wise sayings, Mike. We can't quite see how you are going to become a first class soldier but we are sure that you can become an expert at your profession. BERTHA WILLIAMS Biff Secretary 4: Le Cercle Francais 4: Mu Delta Rho 4: D. A. Club 3, 4 As merry as the day is long. Bertha's charming way and cordial manner surely have won a place in our hearts. There is one thing that we fancy and that is her boyish Bob. Biffs greatest ambition is to be a French Teacher. We hope she will teach it in K. H. S. RACHEL A. ADAMS Ra D. A. Club 3 Life hath no blessing like an earnest friend. Ra was an excellent class-mate and we are proud to call her our own. She is very quiet but under this quietness lies much ability and conscientiousness. We hope to hear great things from you. Ra.

FREDERICK HAWKINS Freddy A quiet tongue showeth a wise head. The class lost Freddy because he liked Schenectady better than Keene-or was it Troy? Maybe the girls there are more attractive-but we doubt it. You're certainly doing good work: Freddy, wherever you are-if you do the same as you did here. EVA BARILE Field Hockey 3, 4: Basketball 1, 3, 4: Com- mercial Club 3, 4 She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, to think on. Eva is one of our high-class girl athletes of '28. In her freshman year at Keene she earned her letter in basketball. That wasn't enough, so she journeyed to Manchester and there won another insignia for her remarkable services, She became homesick, however. as we all desired. and returned to Keene. We expect to hear great praise of her in her career as a nurse. JOHN BARRY Jack Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4: Year Book 4 ls there anyone who doesn't know Jack? We will all remember his famous bums, his long. accurate shots at a basket, and above all his Kissel. Jack isn't very tall but he meas- ures up well in some other things. If you want to know what they are, ask Jack. RAYMOND BARRETT Sheik M. A. Club l, 2, 3, 4 And with sweet ladies, With my words and looks. Raymond has been true to his nick name of sheik, especially since he moved down in the neighborhood of the Normal School. He says he wishes to study forestry. We hope he has as much success as a forest ranger as he has had in finding teachers, both trained or in training, to skate with him. HAROLD BECKWITH Becky For courage mounteth with occasion. Harold is a model student. and we can heart- ily advise all freshmen to follow in his foot- steps. We believe that if he continues to main- tain his standard set in K. H. S., he will be soon far on the road to success as a radio expert.
