WILLIS RAND BILL Football 4. Class basketball 3, 4. As a boy Bill had all the ear marks of the really great, but nevertheless, this young man of gingerbread glory, re- ceived no fame. Bill had red hair, and not being acquainted with us, he seldom was able to borrow enough to have his locks shorn. Thus were his ear marks obscured. But after a few close shaves, Bill blossomed forth in brilliancy, the star of the eleven. He was a fine, plunging halfback. Hit the line hard, Bill, tackle low, keep that redded of yours, cool, and you will gain Life ' s distance. JULIAN RE A JUDY Class Historian, Debating Team Manager, Tieasurer Union, Year Book. Judy has not improved since he be- came one of us ; he has only developed. What he is, and what he is to be, is only what he has been — for he always has been as good and as fine as he is now. He has done great things — as his record alone signifies — but they do not make him any better. They couldn ' t. For Judy is always the same, and always will be the same, a friend and comrade to all. LEONARD REILLY Class Basketball 2, 3, 4, Baseball 4. It is related of Len that he drifted ashore one night in ' 97, when there was a high tide along the coast. At first it seems unbelieveable, — but, thine ear, O reader ! Len is a shark ! The fish} 7 way in which he slips over his stenog will make you believe that, and as for his ' hooking ' manner — ask Leo Frair- hair ! But seriously, Len has the ease of a master in stenography, and his success has come with endeavor — which makes success more sweet. And yet he is a shark — or was, one rainy night down ' by the Back river smelting grounds ! en]

TERESA NOLAN Class Prophet, Senior Delegate to O. C. Club. Most beauteous night, thou wert not sent for slumber, was a prevalent belief in the region of Nash ' s Corner one evening away back in ' 97. For Miss Teresa Nolan, it is recorded, began breathing and bursting into song at the same time. Ever since then she has made more or less noise — more with her desk cover up, less with it down. But even if she is to be Class Prophet we risk the danger of verbal assault to say this, and yet she has our hearty friendship and good wishes. CLARK PAGE Shortly after Page was ushered into terrestrial existence he fell out of his cradle and thereby contracted a dislike for works of all kinds. Secretly he has treated this malady, first by entensive diet, and then by an excess of sleep. Finally he has resolved to humor it as a necessary evil. Yet Page has redeem- ing qualities, and is a man for a ' that. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, our class will always remember him. Godspeed ! ALITHEA PARKER Alithea is one cf those living proofs of the fact that you don ' t have to be well known to be in with the teachers. Ouly a short time ago Miss Alithea came from Dorchester, well recom- mended, and famed by her alleged ca- reer in the New England Preservatory of Music. Listen! Ah, the G string ! More gentle than the harp, more retiring than the lost chord, es- teemed by many, courted by — Sh ! We use the soft pedal, Alithea. [10]

MISS OLIVE SYLVESTER Valedictorian. Miss Magna Cum Laude Sylvester, whom you see here, shines with so bright a light as to dazzle the eyes of the teachers. While some are burning the midnight oil in their (Ford ) touring cars, she is keeping alight the lamp of her intellect. And now she leads us all ! Perhaps not for popularity, nor the gaiety will she be known, — but ever for sincerity, honesty, sympathy, and her industry and righteousness alto- gether. RALPH TALBOT DICK Class Pin Committee, chairman; Class Oral or, Clas9 Ode, Debate, Capt. ; Track 1 2, 3. 4, Capt. ; President of Union, School Paper 1, 2, 3; Year Book, Editor-in- chief, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4 ; Class Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. We have before us a man young in years, but old in thought. He is the orator of his class and many are the novel orations that he has made in the class room. They say he is some ball player, especially in handing out alibis to his team mates. Wherever you see him, in the school corridor, on the ath- letic field or in the class room, he is always kicking something or somebody. He likes to talk and his fellow class mates believe that he will be a second Henry Clay. Dick, old boy, you should make your mark in the world, but you may feel assured that you have our best wishes for the prosperous years which must follow you. EVELYN TIBBETTS Class Play, Pin Committee. It is rather hard to write about our little Evelyn, because she is at school so seldom that we don ' t know much about her. And when she is here she doesn ' t make her presence known because her voice is very, very soft and she moves like a fairy. Of course you know M A C is a florist and you see she is always amongst the flowers. But when it comes to Latin, she is the star of the class, — and her pies are delicious, so M A C tells us. We don ' t blame MAC for liking our classmate and friend. Workingmen like good things to eat. We wish you, Evelyn, the happiest of times of your life in the future, but please don ' t forget your class of 1915. [12]
