I ' le (.si(rc lies in Ilircc trords, hail lit, paice iind atnijxlenad’ ANNIE DURKIN “Annette” “Viola” Junior Prom Committee; Student Staff; Class Book Staff; Junior and Senior Dramatics; Ecclesia Debating Society. “Annette” is the wittiest girl in 1916. Her fund of stories and jokes and her “Yiddisher” monologues are an endless source of amusement to her friends. At an entertainment or gathering when there is the usual silence, when everyone seems at a loss what to say, you are sure to hear, “Oh, where’s Annette?” Besides her monologuistic ability, “Annette’’ is one of the star actresses of the class. She portrayed her i)arts in “The Babe,” ‘‘The District Attorney,” and “The Sacrifice” so well that ' besides the usual flowers in abundance, she received a tremendous ovation from the appreciative audience. Her wonderful capabilities as a student rank high, both in the estimation of her teachers and her class- mates. She is one of the most dependable girls in 1916. “Annette’’ will reach a high standard in the business world, for her persevering faithfulness to duty and her smiling, kindly word for all will surely win her friends in whatever field she enters. 25

Cnillrnini man n ij laarr! p((trr! hut Harr i.s uo vY rr. — 1 1 knhV GEORGE J. DONOVAN “Pooch” “G. J.” “Windy” “Hot Air” Student Staff, 1, 2, ? , 4; Football, 3, 4; .lunior and Senior Dra- matics; Track, (3), (4); Senior Banquet Committee; Champion Debating Team 1. Commonly known as ‘‘Pooch,” George was at all times one of the most conspicuous members of our class., Not only was he a leader in social and athletic ventures, but he clearly demonstrated his natural mental ability through his “sharkism.” As an artist George is “there,” as he has shown us on several occasions, and as for the girls — well — “nuff sed.’’ Outside of school, George showed an excellent disposition, as his many friends in this class will testify. “Pooch” is bound for M.. I, T., and we are sure that on account of his aptitude for mathematics he will fill his own niche in the world of engineering. “Pooch’’ was always ready to enliven and lengthen our class meeting by his characteristic of finding technicalities and flaws in our method of parliamentary procedure. 24

I ' m a hold, had man. — Si’OK ' K RAYMOND DYER “Ray” “Shrimp” “Ray’s’’ life in school has been one continual struggle with his chum, “Mel’’ Martin. One is hardly ever seen without the other. Ray’s scholarship has been excellent and his knowledge has been in constant demand by his fellow students. He has given his time strictly to his studies, letting all frivolous and social events alone. Ray has shown his class spirit by faithfulness while serving on several committees. He also tried out for the baseball team, but didn’t quite make it. AVhen he enters W. P. I. we know that C. H, S, will be creditably represented. 26
