“ •or the hennty of a lorely tromoti is like musie ' HAZEL VERONICA BURNS “Curly” “Vera” Commercial Course Hazel is one of the petite members of our class with dark curly hair and large hazel eyes that bring her a host of friends (not all of her own sex, to say the least). Hazel is athletically in- clined, is a great basket-ball, footbal ' l and baseball fan, not to mention her ability as a skater. She and her boon companion, “Gert” Hastings, spend many of their happiest hours gliding over the glassy smoothness of the Nashua. “Curly” made herself invaluable to our class by her willing- ness to “lend a hand” in all school affairs. In shorthand Hazel never fails to see the brightest side of a situation and to divide with her neighbor. This accounts for the frequent change of seats. Hazel took the Commercial Course and although she is unde- cided where she will go next year, we think it probable she will follow up business and faithfully fulfil her duties as private sec- retary. Best wishes of ’21 in all your undertakings. Hazel. 23

of deUghV ' ' ‘She was a phantom JOSEPHINE HELEN BAGDEN “Jo” Junior Prom Committee; Inter-Class Dramatics, 2; A. A. Commercial Course “Jo” enjoys the most sunny of dispositions, or rather we en- joy her happy disposition. She is never sad, but always jolly and ready to have a good time wherever she goes and at every social function you’re sure to hear, “Oh, where’s Jo.?” “Jo” has a keen sense of humor and is quick to laugh at the witty sallies of her classmates, but in addition to the aforesaid humor she possesses the unhappy faculty of being caught in the act and consequently she may be seen at almost any time among the patient toilers who wait until the clock strikes 4.30 before wending their homeward way. Josephine intends to go to business school next year and then she will brighten some office and make life more sunny for some harried employer. Here’s to Josephine, wishing her success in her new undertaking. 22

“J mcnt well liked hy men — and women too” JAMES JOHN CARR “Jim” “Jimmy” Class Treasurer, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play; Junior Prom Committee; Football Manager, 4. College Course Carr has been our treasurer for the last three years. What further recommendation of his character could one ask? But he can do more than take care of class money — that doesn’t occupy quite ALL of his time. Senior year was a regular coming out party for “Jim.” First as football manager he successfully carried through a tough schedule; at the Senior Show he blossomed out as a David Gar- rick and at the Christmas assembly he made his debut as a soloist. But “Jim’s” crowning glory came the day that he told the world that “anatomy” burned when sprinkled in chlorine gas. “Jimmy” sure deserves one of those fortunes Mr. Cobb has oc- casionally referred to Yes, some day “Jim” will be pulling in the ducats from his chemical discoveries the way he used to pull in the class dues — just about. “Jimmy” can do more with his feet than merely carry a load around on them, just watch him some night on the dance floor. We’ll bet he wishes Holy Cross were in Hudson; or is it Marl- borough, “Jim?” 24
