“ Such a one as everyone should wish to be” FLORENCE MARGARET CARLSON “Flo” “Flossie” “ Peggie ” “Maggie” Glee Club, 1; Mandolin Club; Vice-President of Hiking Club, 2-3; Reception Committee Junior Prom Commercial Course Birthday: January 6. Favorite occupation: Getting acquainted with the “mail.” Favorite expression: “Eli never tell.” Favorite drink: Chocolate soda vanilla cream. Favorite song: “Maybe.” Now you’ve come to the first of our red-headed girls. Have you ever danced with her? If you haven’t you’ve missed it; you just feel like gliding all over creation when you’re with her. If you want to know any of the latest steps — just ask Flo. Perhaps that explains her fondness for Lyonhurst — and perhaps not. Florence is always ready for anything new, especially a new word when she is in a class. How often have the rest of us poor mortals sat in a class with her and heard her rattle off words we’d never even heard of. But the secret’s out — digest a corner of your dictionary each night. One day however it went too far, when reciting the Pendleton Civil Service Act she couldn’t remember the name and gave a guess Promenado. It “donned” on Flo then that it was well to get all of a name not merely the initials. During the very last weeks of school, Flo decided that she would rather touch fractions and decimals than pound a typewriter. We know she will succeed so, best of luck, Flo! 22

“ hate nobody, am charity with the whole world” ANNA RITA CACCIALINO “Anri” “Annie” Basketball, 2, 4. Hiking Club, 3. Commercial Course Birthday: February 1. Favorite occupation : walking. Favorite expression: “Sakes, you’d a died.” Favorite drink: Lemon and lime. Favorite song: “Linger Awhile.” Ann is one of our champions when it comes to the thrilling game of basketball. Can we ever forget Ann as we saw her darting down the floor after the ball? Why no! Ann had some shot for that basket, all right. She has a cheerful disposition and always a smile. Although we shall not remember all those funny stories she was so fond of telling in the English class, we cannot forget the resulting merri- ment which burst out every now and then. Those fibs were quite original, too, something like her recitations. So, if Annie should take up writing novels, as the prophecy destines her, we can see where the future would spell success for her. But Annie thinks a teacher’s job would just about suit her, and so enters Worcester Normal this fall. Whatever she does, we feel that success will ultimately crown her efforts. 21

“ A daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair.” MADELINE HOYT CHILD “ Maddy ” “Maggie” “Peggy” Basketball Team, 3-4; Hiking Club, 3; Junior Prom College Course Birthday: April 24. Favorite occupation: Arguing her exact height. Favorite expression: “Very collegiate.” Favorite drink: Gingerale with ice cream. Favorite song: “Maggie, Yes Mam, Come Right Upstairs.” Maggie stepped into class one morning during our freshman year, and has been stepping right along ever since, — yet why shouldn’t she? She represents the girls of ’24 at all the dances, and is always sure of having a good time. A story went around one day that “Maggie” would like to be a clerk in Brockleman’s. Well you never can tell! Stranger things have happened! And say, I almost forgot, “Peggy” is some basket- ball player. You know, — she is just the right height for a center and has it all over her opponent, for she can tap it right over her head. “Maggie” often said that she would like to be a dancer and we’re sure if she ever should take up that profession she would be a grand success. “Maddy’s” plans for the future are a little vague, but we know whatever she takes up she will just come “smiling through.” 23
