18 Mmioms A member of our class. In spite of his retiring disposition, however, C-ardner is well liked by' all 'of' his classmates. His work in shorthand is deserving of mention. Roy Emerson 'Morse, our historian, is first sergeant of Company A, winner of the first prize in the recent prize drill, president of the Pro Merito Society and business man- ager of the class paper. Socially, Roy is a regular butter- fly. His banjo solos are highly complimented. Roy was president of the class during our first two years, and treas- urer during our third year. The class voted him the best all round boy in the class. John Maurice Murphy apparently does not know that the class play is over, for he is still waiting for some one to say Why don't you speak for yourself, John? In our fresh- Iigiaifl year, John won the bronze medal in the Boys' Cadet ri . Hendrick Atwell Olney, our former secretary, is a ser- geant in Company A. Little can be said of Hen for he is not a speaker of the limelight. However, those who are fortunate enough to know him have a profound liking for this retiring member of '22, Hen is such a droll, imagin- ative fellow. He says that he is particularly fond of winter, but that he would like summer just as well if only we could have Snow then. Norton John Phillips, or Professor N. J. Phillips, if you please ffor isn't Norton the best informed pupil in Historyl, is but six feet tall with his hair parted. For vivid imagina- tion, he has few equals. If you doubt it, ask Ham. Emily Helen Roberts is an orator of accomplishment, being the winner of second prize in the recent Singleton Contest. Emily has won two medals in the girls' prize drills. and a sweater in the Girls' Interclass Athletic Meet. Her disposition is one of the best to be found, and she is the possessor of one of those smiles that you can't resist. The class greatly honored Emily by voting her the prettiest girl, the best bluifer, the best all around girl, the best dancer, the most procrastinating member, and the society belle. Carl Scheffy hails from the noted Coal Village. Upon his arrival in Mansfield High he was a wee bit bashful, but all traces of timidity have long since disappeared. Carl, like many other members of our class is interested in radio, but his chief hobby is music. Popular songs may come and go, but 'iMargie remains Exit favorite. -

I ' ' I . - Marion Frances.Marden, one of our prima donnas, is Qnoted. for her singing in the morning exercises. She has been in the Glee Club for three years, and during the last year has played in the orchestra. Marion intends to become fa nurse. Rita 'Frances M-eCart 'was vice-president of the class for 'two years and secretary during our third year. She is the secretary of the Commercial Whirl. She won first prize in 'the last Girls' Cadet Drill. Can Rit make the piano jazz? She certainly can! One piece, however, she plays with jrivluch more pep than any other-it's Jimmie, I Love but ou. ' S Robert Moultrop Mears wears gold glasses and parts his hair in the middle, but he's a man for a' that. Robert is valedictorian of the class, having an average of over nine- ty-five for the four years. He is secretary of the class, and advertising manager of the class paper. To him belongs most of the credit for the success of this paper. Harvard 'will gain two excellent students when Mears and Fowler make their entrance. Mears, by class vote, is the most :studious and the most punctual boy in the class. Israel Miller has played in the orchestra for four years. Before long we may hear of a second Kreisler. When Izzy laughs, the whole class laughs. Outside of these -facts, we 'know little about him, except that he is very talkative. Aurora Pierina Moro is the class song-bird. She is noted for her soft voice and blushes. We know that her voice is Qsweet, for haven't we heard her sing in the Glee-zClub, and on other occasions? She is a member ofthe SocialiCommit- tee and is an honor student. Aurora speaks four different languages. This linguistic accomplishment will undoubted- ly be of use to her in her future work. ' Charles-Raymond Morse believes that variety makes a Inang so he tried both athletic and non-athletic activities with equal success. Ray is second lieutenant of Company A, a letter man in football and tra-ck, and athletic editor of the class paper, Memoirs. Ray is also very closely con- nected with the Fun and Frolic Trio. . Gardner Edson Morse is the most quiet, unassuming

H y Msmoms 19' Audrey Smith, one of our most retiring young ladies, has: a very even disposition. .She has remarkable' power of con- centration asfis shown by her ability to carry on at orches- tra' rehearsals when other members are playing in various keysju Audrey intends to become a nurse. We know that her fine disposition and her cheery smile will greatly aid her in her Work. f Florence Gertrude Snow, a member of the Social Com- mittee,'has won two prizes in the girls' cadet drills. Flor- ence says that she is going to be a nurse. Rumor says that' she-is going into the poultry business, but we doubt the truth of this as she has never shown an interest in more than one Hen. -Gladys Alice Strople, a student in the Commercial De-- partment, during her spare time has a sweet occupation in Dinsmore-'s Candy Shop. We hear that before long she is going to be somebody's eilicient stenographer. Hamilton Wallis is a veritable question mark, he is al- ways looking for the why of things. Ham sure can wield a mighty pen. He is an able artist, and has a streak of humor that would make Bud Fisher jealous. Watch for our class paper: Ham designed the cover. H-ugh Edward West joined us at the beginning of our third yearfcoming from Methuen High. Westie is a four letter athlete,'and the captain of the track team. As a middle distance runner, and as a tackle of the eleven, Westie has few equals in this vicinity. Don't be sur- prised if you see West and also Johnson sporting a big S some time next yearg both are going to attend Springiield College in the fall. Westie has been declared class joker. Emma Frances Wynn, a student in the Commercial De- partment, is remarkable for her quiet disposition. She- firmly believes that perseverance overcomes all obstacles.. The class voted Emma the most retiring girl. We hear that she has chosen stenography as her profession, and that she will prepare herself at Boston University. Do it right, B. U.! ik if 41 Sk wk My task is now completed. I trust that you are a little better acquainted with us than before. In order that the facts here assembled may be readily accessible for the ref- erence of future historians, they will be preserved in print in Memoirs. Ralph Albert Palladino.
