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

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

The world is a comedy to those irlto lltinlc. — Wai polk AGNES GIBBONS “Gibbie” “Aggie” Glee Club, 3, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4 (Capt. 4); Student Staff, 3, 4,; Class Book Staff; Secretary of Class, 3, 4; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Secretary, A, A. ‘‘Gibby” is one of the most popular girls in our class. Always ready, as secretary, to help 1916 through her many difficulties, “Aggie’’ is perhaps the only girl in the class who has the undivided confidence of her classmates. Her scholarship was excellent, but — possessed of a rather mis- chievous nature — she was not slow to see a joke and, perchance, to partake of it. We have sus])icions that, in company with her colleague. Hazel, she was responsible for many a little ‘‘feed.” She was the feminine athletic mainstay of her class, captaining the 1916 basketball team on to victory In fact, so successful were her efforts with that team that she was urged to organize a field- hockey team, but — nothing doing. Reason — “too many other things.” “Gibby’’ is undecided on where she v.ill go next year, but on account of her athletic inclination, Sargent School is a probable ‘‘alma mater.” 27
