PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT THE SASSAMCIN Edward Canzano, whose ambitions have EDWARD CANZAN0 been on the high C's, has served well his term in High School and the Music Box, as well. Being of shy nature and reluc- tant in imparting to others where he obtained hs perpetual hair comb, we wonder if he could tell us truthfully where he was presented with the black eye, on a cer- tain day last April? Aside from that, Eddy has worked diligently, strumming on his Nuke, and annoying the populace in general, with his harmony and latest song hits. , , Like all Bunnies she is always up to tricks, BLRNICL CARR when will Room eleven forget April first? Running like a rabbit, she not only hurries herself, but keeps everyone else on the jump and is an hour early, by this time-saver, on many occasions. But she isn't all Bunny, for she can sing. She has sung in the Girls' Glee Club, for three years. She is a very competent hand at the lunch counter and well feared by all children who visit the Public Library. Gilbert Clarke was born in the year nine- GILBERT CLARKE teen hundred and eight, exactly one hun- dred years after the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Who knows, maybe he will be fa- mous, too. Gilbert moved from Fall River to the lively little town of South Natick, it was a wise move, but after a while he decided that it was a little too dead for him, so he moved to a distirct in Natick, called Cat Hill. Not long after he moved to this interesting district, he took up the trade of slaughters, becoming an expert in a short time. And as the two trades travel side by side, he became a real girl killer. It seemed to come natural to him. Gil is now a Senior in the class of '25 of the Natick High School. He has perhaps achieved his purpose and maybe in five or six years Ui we may ali expect an invitation, but as for his life trade, he has yet a little to learn, for he has just reached the position of assistant manager. . Agnes will never have to use rouge, for AGNES COLLINS the minute one speaks to her a blush a- pears, which helps to keep her school-girl complexion. At noon Agnes is heard to say from the lunch counter, to the boys, Get in line, and they immediately obey her. To the girls she turns, with a sweet voice, What can I do for you? or One at a time, please. The reply, hurriedly given, is Got a hot dog or a weenie? Special lunch and some ice cream-quickly, please, as I am hungry, heard from another. After school and home work are completed, Agnes enjoys driving her car along the highways. On starry, moonlight evenings the seat by her side is occu- pied. Ag is popular with contagious diseases. They never seem to slight her. This does not alter her usual good humor, though. Known to some as Fran, to others as Conroy, anyway he was the regular Jerry on the Job during the football season. As a dancer, Fran is a regular jazz-hound. On the night of every dance he is sure to call up a young lady on Cathill and ask, '!Will you go with me me tonight? Fran's great on shows. The Gayety and the Casino are also his delights. His greatest ambition is to become a millionaire, and we bet he will gain this height before many years. FRANCIS CONROY

THE SASSAMON PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN GERTRUDE BROWN Sertrude is one of thoseiquiet maids, who oesn t say much, but thinks a great deal. She has been with us only a half-year, so she may not be acquainted with many. Quiet and reserved, she attends strictly to her own affairs. We do wish that we knew Gert better, for we are confident that her friendship would be valuable and interesting. When it come to piano playing, get Sylvia! SYLVIA BROWN Although she was forced to leave us for a long time, because of illness, neither her music nor her lessons suffered, as she soon made them up. Sylvia's ambition is to beta nurse and we all hope that some day she will be able to realize this dream. The orchestra was very fortunate in having Sylvia at the piano. The Glee Club also claims her as one of its members. In a few words, Sylvia is an all-round Senior. Wh' n she appeared in our midst, she wore EDITH BUCKLER her dark tresses long, and so she continued for three and three-quarters of the time of our study in the Natick High School. But as our day of departure from this fair building approached, she entered the king- dom ,of Flapperdom, by casting aside her long and flowing tresses and adopting the shingle. Everyone agrees that it suits her very well. Often she has entertained us with her splendid readings. During her Senior year, she served us the delicacies of the High School lunch counter. A nice, big, fat cream puff, Edie, was heard fre- quently, through the wire cage. Characteristically she was willing to oblige as far as she was able. When we Freshmen elected our class offi- PATRICIA BUCKLEY cers, in 1921, Patty was our secretary, and that year she was also elected one .of the Freshman editors of the Sassamon. Her Sophomore year she became Sophomore editor of the Sassamon, and her Junior year saw her again an editor for her class. In the Junior year she became our Vice-Pres- iilent. Besides these activities she was elected Vice-President of the newly-formed Circle Francais, and was on the executive board of the Dramatic Club. Senior year, Patty became one of our Senior class editors of the Sassamon, and was raised to the position of Madame la presidente' of the French Club. She was again a member of the Dramatic Club, but best of all, she became one of the envied few in the Pro Merito Society. We wish her all success and luck in her college career. JOSEPH HJOEH BYRNE Trying to write something original about Joe is as easy as selling snowplows in Pan- ama, it ean't be done. In his four years at N. H. S., Joe has been a member of the football, baseball and basket-ball teams, being captain of the championship teams of 1924-25. He is also president of the Athletic Council and a member of the Glee Club and the Dramatic Club, besides being the champion banana eater of the school. As a student, we find Joe up among the top notchersf' Joe can speak every language but Greek, and they are all Greek to Joe. Joe's ambition is to be an expert plumber and I am sure we all hope that he succeeds.

THE SASSAMON PAGE TWENTY-NINF KATHERINE DANIELS It is unusual to find a person whosetal- ents are so extremely opposite ln position and quality. In reality there isn't so much space between Kathie's head and toes. That may be the explanation. In scholarship Kathie ranked third in our class. As a graceful toe dancer she occupies a singular position. What would N. H. S. have done without Kathie's smiling cheerfulness? Wherever her name appears on a pro- gram, we know there will be at least one number we will like. When the portals of Natick High School DOROTHY DAVIS opened to admit the future class of 1925, an attractive blonde by the name of Dorothy Davies, better known to her friends as Dot, was among the freshies. Cochituate claimed her the latter part of her Freshmen year, but it seems that Natick's attractions were greater, because she was back again in her Sophomore year. Junior year, Dot was the pride of all the Prom- goers, for she had no other than Dancing Dan as her escort. Dorothy is a popular member of the Dramatic Club and the French Club. In the fall, Framingham will do its level best to make a demure teacher of her. Natick's loss will be Framingham's gain. While in High School, he studied chemis- HARRY DAVIS' try and seemed to take great interest in the subject, for he soon changed his profession from a grocer to a druggist, taking a position as head clerk in Twitchell's Drug Store, where he has remained, accord- ing to latest reports, to this day. Perhaps, some time in the future after much study- ing and perhaps a few years with the United Drug Stores of Boston or New York, we may be hearing of Harry Davis, the leading druggist in that great firm, or we may see as we pass along the streets of Natick, the sign Harry Davis, Pharma- cist. DOROTHY DGSCHAMPS Dot is small in stature and has rather dark, wavy hair, which we all rather admire. She is a good typist, but do we know what a very good telephone operator she is? We all know if we call from Natick and Dot is the operator, we get very good ser- vice. But Dot may tire of being a telephone operator, and if we may judge by her Senior essay, we may see her starting a stylish fashion shop, having the very lat- est styles direct from Paris. And so Dot has a career. Dot also.played on the class hasket-ball team and served on the candy committee. Joe hails from the wilds of Squash End and JOSEPH DRISCOLL his one ambition is to become a registered druggist. fHe's one now, but not registeredl. From the early part of his Senior year to the last days he made it a practice to be tardy at least twice a week, a fine practice! Did you ever notice his permanent hair waves? Once in a while one hears a melodious voice and upon investigation we find it belongs to Joe. Many are in- clined to believe that at some future date, the class of 1925 will boast of a rival to John McCormack. I could write for hours and hours, telling all the snappy stories I know about our Joe, but there is such a thing as being too personal. Nuff Sed.
