ROGER BURGOYNE Banquet Committee, Ch. 4, Orchestra 4, Year Book 4. It was only under high pressure that the physiognomy of Roger could be brought to a place on this paper. After the first exposure, the photographer changed his cracked lens, injected a high pressure plate of steen pounds into his camera and intimated that he would sue for damages. Thus, the high pressure. But, listen ! Soft strains of sad music ! Roger is a musical man, and he plays the violin. Those glasses, that hair, believe, O credulous reader, that they stand for some- thing. Roger thinks he resembles — Paderwhiskey ! LAWRENCE CAULFIELD PIMP, LARRY Baseball Mascot 2, 3, 4. Speaking about men, let us consider the gentleman whose visage protrudes itself upon this otherwise good looking page. Pimp is without doubt the smallest Senior in existence. If any- one else tried to fill his place in the Senior class, though, he ' d find it a bit difficult. Not in stature, not in power, but in the hearts of his fellow students, is Larry big. We believe he has done what no other boy of his size has done before — and we are proud of him. The Lord bless thee, Larry ! EVERETT CALLAHAN ROOKEY Class Basketball 4. Baseball 4. The Rookey dropped into the Senior class in 1914, and from all accounts of the teachers has been dropping ever since. Every now and then we behold him surrounded by the admirers (of his brother) and discoursing on How to Play Shortstop. Rookey plays short- stop, you know, and the teachers say that when it comes to studies he ' s pretty clever at it. He ' s clever at a good many things, is our Rookey, and attracts attention — of the girls. We hesitate here at enumerating his many conquests of femininity, for this is only a book. But, after all, here ' s luck to you, Cal- lahan ! M

Class of 1915 failing. MAY ALLEN Dance Committee 4, Operetta 3, Class Play 4. The pleasure is entirely ours, kind reader, in presenting this, the first and perhaps the finest picture in the Senior Hall of Fame. Perhaps May is known to you ; if she is not, kindly remember that what we say here cannot do her justice. To know her is to like her, which truth is deducted from the fact that wherever May is known she is well liked. But gently now ! Sarcasm is born of sympathy ! And May has one If you would know what it is, collar the hero of the class play some night and ask him about it. EDWARD BATES EDDIE Class Prophet, Orchestra 3, 4; Football 4, Baseball 4, Basketball 3, Track 4. As a proof that you shouldn ' t judge by appearances, we offer herewith our one and only Rufus Edward Bates, who isn ' t so green as his hayseed expression would lead you to believe. Eddie is a good boy, but early in life he experi- enced a violent attachment — to a Ford, and since that time has never been with- out the required shoe horn. It is re- lated of Eddie that he would run almost as far to play ball as his Ford would run on its reputation — but that ' s only hearsay. We believe there ' s another part to that at- tachment story, too. Why else should Eddie be seen up Mill Street so often ? REGINALD BATES ' REGGIE Class President, Basketball Manager 4, Class Play. Track 4, Class Basketball 2, 3, 4. When the bigger, better, busier class first assembled, it chose for its president and leading citizen, one Regi- nald W. Bates, whom you see here. And better man there never was, we must say, when it comes to ruling with the firm hand and open heart. Reggie needs no recommendation. We could give him none more fitting and proper than to say that in all his class there is not one who is not glad that he has been our president, nor one who would not like to see him make good wherever the opportunity may be afforded him to do so.

CORNELIUS CONDRICK CONNIE Dance Committee 4, Football 2, 3, 4, Capt.; Basketball 2, 3, 4, Capt. ; Baseball 2. 3, 4. In the unequal pursuit of studies Connie came to school in 1910. At the very outset he fell so far behind as to let his studies gain one lap on him in the race. Then Connie settled down to show that in the atmosphere of a big- ger, better, busier class he could create a mark. And never has anyone suc- ceeded better in his purpose. For Connie has not only succeeded in the way of studies, but has been captain both of football and basketball, a pitcher and fielder on the nine, and has held many offices of the class besides. Everything to which he has turned his hand has been a success. We wish him success in the greater things. HELEN CUNNIFF Dance Committee 4, Operetta 3. Anyone who has hitherto been blessed with a sound digestion had better turn over this page and linger no longer here. For Helen is the bright, particular star of the cooking class. In attempting to describe her to you, the plummet of our imagination cannot sink one-half so far into the well of thought as one of Helen ' s biscuits could into the Atlantic Ocean. Helen has also a side line in the way of reciting history, but only a side line, you know. Her main point is A D ALMON DEANE Vice-President, Class Marshal, Dance Committee 4, Pin Committee 3, Football 2, 8, 4 ; Basketball 2, 3, 4, Capt . Almon has one of those personalities which lead you to understand wherein he so easily graces the vice-president ' s chair. Throughout his four years he has thrived in the admiration of his fel- lows, even though he professes to enjoy his vacations in the dead haunts of Fort Point. For his good work on the football field and basketball court, Deane deserves much credit. [6]
