n6rman dizer NORM Class Secretary, Vice- Pres. Union 4, Orchestra 4, De- bate 4. Norman ' s footprints, as he tells us, were heard approaching our august abode in September, 1911. Since that time they have fallen so loudly upon our ears at times, as to attract attention — notably when Norm was elected Class Secretary and when his confident voice dispelled the doubt of debate with Quincy and Brockton. The lure of the filthy lucre could not ensnare our own Norman even when he worked for Georgy Bean. His honesty is sterling, although Clarke does call him Geezer. guileless classmate, she. CATHERINE GALVIN Banquet Committee 4. Modesty and righteous endeavor are traits of Miss Catherine. Although she is not prominent, occasional glances in her direction will reveal the fact that she has a character, and we honestly say, a lovely character of her own. Always kind and cheerful, always industrious in a quiet way, we have found many virtues about her and have yet to find a fault. In every condition and phase of living, striving for the right — a modest VINCENT GORMAN HOPE, VINCE. Baseball 2, 3, 4, Capt; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4; Track 4. Stop, kind reader ! Forbear to con- demn this page because of this counten- ance which you see here Give us a chance ; and Hope is all we want. This fair haired child is no less wonderful because he is captain of the nine. Hope has been varsity second-baseman for three years, and at present is the pilot of the (state ' s champion) nine. Vin- cent is Hope, and we predict that in a few years he will be the hope of some baseball he will surely go up. [6] fast college team. In

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]

ALICE GROSS This is not the Alice of whom the poet sang: 44 Alice, where art thou? In fact, one always knows that Alice may be found in the vicinity of another Alice, with Elsie and Teresa tacked on. Alice ' s forte is enjoying youth and life, at which she excels. On the other hand, she has been seen at meetings of the Monday Club, being a special dele- gate of her class. As for our above verse, we may say that Alice surely has a place in the hearts of her classmates, and we have no doubt but that she will enjoy a similar position when she enters the broader school of life. RALPH GRIFFIN Bink, Spikey, Bluejacket. The 44 Spikey Bluejacket is one of those 4 silent voice ' members of our bigger, better, busier class, who will make his mark. At present he is one of the most esteemed fellows in the class, of whose affection his many nick- names are proof. But, hist ! There is mystery involved here ! As the story goes, one night Bink, accompanied by a beautiful vision of femininity, attended a presentation of 4 Ben Hur. ' Ever after- wards, Bink has maintained that he saw no chariot race in the play. We don ' t doubt your word, Bink ! But how could you? LORETTA HORAN « CHA Two years ago Miss Horan gained the distinction of a standing among us. At first, considering past environment, it seemed doubtful whether she would ever rise to our high level. But the plot thickened ! There is an old proverb : 44 When man and woman are agreed, what can the Kazi do? So when all the class agreed on Loretta, — but she ' s glad of it ! [7]
