I’ll be merry and free I’ll be sad for nobody ARLINE EMMA CLAY “Sis” College Course Minstrel Show 4; A. A. 2, 3, 4; French Club 4 “Sis” became one of ns in the Sophomore year, and, coming from Boston, you see, she had lots of pep to begin with. She’s a happy-igo-lucky girl and surely makes a hit — with both sexes. She’s everybody’s “Sis” and widely known for her bright and sunny remarks. You can always find Arline at all the dances and she always has oceans of partners. Can she dance? She surely has the art of Terpsichore. “Sis’s” only complaint in her Senior year was that the school wouldn’t install an elevator from the ground floor to the Assembly Hall so she wouldn’t be late every morning. She has a marvelous disposition and Arline is our idea of being obliging. She never refused to help any of us when we were in a jam — no matter what kind of a jam — she certainly supplied the facts. And Plow! She is easy to speak with and makes friends readily. She always keeps her friends, and doesn’t allow them to get angry or to stay that way if they do. She has proved herself an indispensable friend and pal. When, after graduation, our paths divide, we shall remember her and hold her dear. Arline’s plans for the future are indefinite, but that the years to come may bring nothing but Success is the sincere wish of the Class of 1929. IB ZB 29

iMintwralttlta As true as he is quiet JAMES EDWARD CANNON “Jimmie” College Course French Club; History Circle 4; Senior Show Committee; Junior Prom Committee James, otherwise known as “Jimmie,” seems to be a rather quiet lad. That is, to the majority, perhaps. But a few of us who know him very well indeed can tell you differently. The ffrst year “Jimmie” was content with his studies and his former school acquaintances. Rut after the first year he made friends quickly and now he is well known and has taken an interest in social affairs and dancing parties. He is fond of outdoor sports; two of his favorites being swimming — (South Meadow), and skating — (Four Ponds) as some of the class can well testify! He was an im- portant figure at many of the games played on Fuller Field under the sponsorship of C. H. S. A. A. You say that he was not on any team? You are right there, but he aided greatly in making our games a financial as well as an athletic success. James intends to go to Holy (!ross (k)llege next year and we surely wish him all sorts of luck. We know he will succeed, because he is an industrious person by natural rights. Keep up the good work, “Jimmie.” 28

ii mnrabtUa Life is a jest and all things show it ANNA TERESA COMASKEY “Flea” Normal Course Minstrel Show 1, 2; Junior Prom Committee Yon all have heard before how Anna knew 11)29 was the best class of all and that is why she is with ns. Doing as little as possible with the least effort is the art she has mastered. With the advent of the latest song, “I’ll Get By,” Anna seems to have a new motto. When it comes to knowing where the shy little violets grow, “Flea” surpasses them all. Anna possesses a congenial disposition and her good nature makes her a great favorite among both sexes, though her signs of favoritism toward the op- posite sex have never been shown. By her carefree ways you would think “Flea” never had a chance to study but we’ll admit she never burns any midnight oil, still she pulls through. Anna is quite fortunate in being gifted with musical talent in the ivory lino and also her voice makes a perfect accompaniment. Anna’s plans for the future aim at either a Conservatory or some well known hospital. The Class of ’29 extend to you their best wishes for success, Anna. 30
