rcfleclire friendhf ti aid is shed JESSIE E. BRACKETT General Course. Jessie joined our ranks in our Freshman year and has remained with us through thick and thin ever since. She is one of those girls who are hard to “write up,” for she is not one who is seen and heard of often. But yet we know she is good-natured, for who has not seen her sunny smile?

hcarls arc a ir(n ,s .sy 7” PAULINE G. BODMAN “Polly” Vice-President, 1, 2, 4; Student Staff, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee. College Course, The second member of the class — our honorable Vice-President, who has served in this strenuous capacity for four long years. We remember but one class-meeting when “Polly” held sway, but then, who can say she has not filled her office exceedingly well? As a student, “Polly” is always with us, and in fact, many declare her to be the most “scientific” girl in the class. But she is not always studious. No, far from it! For who has not witnessed those exceedingly expressive gestures and the bobbing around by means of which she enlivens her recitations. She has been the class pianist this year for our Monday morn- ing “Senior concerts.” As for social affairs, Polly is always there, accompanied by Hush! no more! We have always considered her patriotic, but now if the rumor is true, she is about to do something far surpassing our wildest expectations, for we hear she is about to join the “food force” and take up scientific farming in Still River. 15

Lmujh (Old flic irorhl laughs iriflt i ou’ MAY H. BURKE “May” Junior Prom Decorating Committee; Basketball, 1, 2, 3. Commercial Course. The very minute we think of May Burke we think of basket- ball, Is it any wonder? Remember the basketball season of 19 IG? May certainly had ‘‘some shot” for that basket, and especially at the critical moment she was always the heroine of the hour. Those pleasant reminiscences of basketball are enough to keep May fresh in our memories for many days. May is always seen with a broad smile covering her whole face. As a result she is the center of amusement in all our classes and especially in Salesmanship IV, where she and J. M. P. furnish all the sport. Without both of them the class would simply “doze off” every now and then. We simply can’t imagine how dull school life would be without May. 17
