Good luck, Alice. ALICE TONBY This young woman of the golden glow has a still more golden smile. Not that we mean to infer that her smile is golden because her teeth are. We might just as well say she has an English ac- cent because she bought her teeth in London. But we refer to her hair. Miss Alice ' s idea in life is to thart thomething — in a quiet way. Ask her where she was going one fair Spring morning down in the vicinity of Norton Street. And you ' ll thart thomething. FRANK VENDER » BOB Orc hestra 2, 3, 4; Track 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Music, Class Ode; Football, Mgr. ; Banquet Committee. |H Behold Bob ! Residents in the region of Jackson Square assert that he can create as much discord as any profes- H sional musician. But his fingers touch not piano strings alone. Nay, ye critics, rather are they on school and class work, baseball, football, track and other ]JKk things. Although we have the beauty, Ttf ' l Bob seems to be the one to get his name 1 in the papers, especially when he pub- lishes his two-steps. And musical? Why he ' s first bass on the ball team, plays the cornet, and has a so-lo part in his studies. For you, Bob, we wish great success.

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.

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]

1915 The present year has been a notable success. Its Senior class has reflected much renown upon itself by honors worthily won. No other class can show more creditable record. It has been the leader in spirit and activity, and what is more, it has progressed to the point where its members are bound to each other by more than the common tie of friendship. That alone means class spirit. And now, as we, the class, approach the end of that enviable highway of years known as high school life, it is only right that we should look back and contemplate what we have done. Past deeds and experiences return to us, to make those remem- brances more than idle dreams. In fear that some of you might judge us by our honor students, we admit that we have but one — or by our brilliance in routine studies, we admit that we have none. Life, as a Western proverb goes, ain ' t in playing a good hand straight, but in playing a poor hand well. And even though we have no mar- velous honor list, we are confident that we have played our poor hand well. To begin with, our class is unsurpassed in the field of student endeavor. It won its interclass and interscholastic debates, the first, by the way, ever held in the history of the school. In this volume, it presents the first school year book of all time to the public. For the first time it formed an association, the u Union, to promote general student interests. For the first time, its W men enjoyed a banquet. Nor is that all — in everything social it was successful. And the interest in, and the success of, athletics were far greater than they ever have been within our memory. Our foot- ball team won every game but one. For the first time a track team was organized and a trophy won. Our baseball team is generally considered to be one of the best, and is a just claimant of the State title. So, in both student activities and in athletics our record is one which must appeal to the popular mind as a lasting and brilliant one. And wherever our classmates go, we are sure to be drawn together by the cord of memory which shall remind us that every- thing we did, we did sincerely, and everything we did sincerely, we did well.
