“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

“ •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

Commercial Coui ' se. Miriam is one of the best liked girls in the class of 1921. Her ' loving disposition with her never failing sense of humor and great talent as a pianist has always made us feel “Connie” to be an in- dispensable asset to any social gathering. Her ability to cook lemon pie and fudge makes her home the rendezvous of many seniors on bright, sunshinny afternoons when the studies of the classroom prove irritable to their very delicate temperaments. Lessons never seemed to bother Miriam much. Somehow she always took them just as they came; of course any little thing like Mid Years wou ' ld never cause “Connie’’ to burn any midnight oil. We often envy her, her carefree disposition. “Connie” is some star in dramatics too. In the senior play she interpreted one of the difficult character parts, and it went across. But Miriam’s capability as an actress has not made her decide on the legitimate stage for she intends to continue her study of music at the New England Conservatory where she will matriculate. 25
