I I I I I If ' liaf fairn-likr music steals oar the sea, luitraueiufi our snises with ciairtued iueUuIji ' MIRIAM CATHERINE CONNELLY “Connie” “Tubby” Mandolin Club; Senior Play; Junior Prom Committee; Athletic Association; Orchestra, 4. 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

“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

' ' Heart to coaeeive, the umtersteniding to direct or the hnvd to execute’’ CARROLL EDWARD DAVENPORT “Davy” Junior Prom Committee; Dramatics, 1, 2, 3, 4; Student, 2, 4; Business Manager, 4; President A. A., 4; Class Book Staff. Commercial Course. “Davy” is the big man of 1921 — and in more ways than in height. If anything is going on in the class you may be sure that “Davy” has his finger in the pie — and is stirring it up, too His favorite song is “I Love the Ladies.” We think that is why he is in the Commercial Course. “Davy” is the class artist. Who hasn’t seen his drawings and printings advertising class or school social affairs? He has always stood ip well with the faculty for he is never at loss for a “Line” in answer to a question. Quite frequently he has a long distance conversation with Miss Rathbun, — you know, “the long and short of it” stuff. “Davy” is another one of our actors; he’s good too, only sometimes his tongue and legs seem to be worked by the same string. He has lots of pep and enthusiasm and is sure to leave his mark on the world — just as he has on several desks up to school. 26
