' ' 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

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

' ' noir c(hie is poirrr ' ’ I i KATHRYN TERESA DURKIN “Kitty” “Kay” “Sweetness” “K. T.” “K. T. D.” Class Secretary, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics, 2; Junior Prom Committee; Mandolin Club; Student, 1, 2, 3, 4; A. A. Commercial Course “Kay” is the wittiest girl in our class — just consult the class ballot. Her ever-ready list of jokes and “Yiddisher” solos makes her the joy of her classmates. Any recess you chance to wander up to the Annex you are always certain to find “K. T.” sur- rounded by a group of admirers listening to her rendering “Abie Goldstein.” She is also a talented banjo artist and never misses a rehearsal of our glorious club. Words fail when one tries to express her ability as a student. When any argument arises in Bookkeeping “Sweetness” Is always there waiting to add her decisive word Her popularity among her classmates led her to be repeately elected to the much coveted position of class secretary which she has competently filled. Her ski ' ll in the terpsichorean art — don’t muff that expression — keeps her constantly in demand at all the dances where “Kitty” feels quite in her element. “K. T. D.” will take a course at B. U., after which she hopes to get her C. F. A. 27
