COMMERCE GUSSIE SLAVIN, 74 Boylston Street. Just a neat piece of humanity, fond of jensen’s, and in love With school. She is a good dancer, and no doubt she and S. 'F. will be another of the Ve non Cas- tlefe. She is now pounding the ivories. GLADYS SMITH, 75 Commonwealth Avenue. Gladys is one of our shy, quiet little girls, who might almost be called the baby of the class. She has a big heart and, when out walking, is never seen alone. Gladys is a good dancer, as was shown at the Senior play. She is interested in all her work, but particularly distinguish- ed her self by always getting 100 per cent in grammar tests. GLADYS SMITH, 209 Walnut Street. One of the quiet members of the class is Gladys, but with a great deal beneath her quietness. Being one of the bright and studious kind, one would not natural- ly expect her to be jolly. However, Gladys’s reputation is that of a good sport, a real wit, and a jolly companion. AUGUSTA STEINBERG, 49 Walnut Street. She is a very interesting conversation- alist with Miss Zimmerman and is also an intimate friend of Miss Slavin. When either of these girls is with her, she has a lasting smile. DOROTHY SUNDERMAN, 75 Northampton Avenue. Dorothy is our ever-smiling classmate. Her disposition is as even as her time. From this you may know Dorothy is a musician, a violinist in our orchestra. MARY SULLIVAN, . 28 Kendall Avenue. A quiet girl is Mary, but none the less a conscientious member of the Senior Class, and an earnest student, especially in English. BERTHA SWIREN, 41 Alfred Street. There are two of them. We can tell them apart when we see them together. Bertha is the girl who, in law, doesn’t just get the case. FANNY SWIREN, 41 Alfred Street. Miss Swiren s one of 1919’s quietest girls. She is one of the inseperable twins and a good scholar. LUCILLE WETSEL, 45 Pearl Street, Chicopee. Lucille is the cute little girl with all the hair, noted for her daintiness. Either she has a fascination for drums or drums have a fascination for her, at any rate she can usually be found in the close proximity of said drums during the pic- tures, each Friday. She was one of the fairies in “Princess Chrysanthemum,” and is truly a fairy when off the stage, as well as on. ISABELLE YOUNG, Wilbraham, Massachusetts. “Bell” certainly is a Jiappy-go-lucky girl; nothing seems to worry her. She takes in all the good times at school and dancing is her specialty. All else is for- gotten when “Bell” hears the orchestra piaving “jazz.” She certainly has her school spirit with her when there is any- thing patriotic going on. ETHEL ZIMMERMAN, 54 Church Street. She is one of our jolliest girls. She is always ready for a good joke, always smiling, and a ready friend for anyone in trouble. No one can be sad or lonesome when Ethel is around. She was never behind in her studies, (quite the opposite) and still no one saw her worrying over her homework. GLADYS ZOERB, 308 Bay Street. Gladys is one of those democratic, qui- et, unobstrusive young ladies and a deter- mined upholder of women’s rights. She was a member of the Senior play chorus. We have a sneaky feeling that Gladys won’t need an office position long, as she has a funny little thing on one of her left fingers. This may account for her great interest in household budgets. 1 5

COMMERCE KATHRYN MORRISSEY, 17 Marble Street. Kathryn is a general favorite and an- other one of the cute fairies in “Prin- cess Chrysanthemum.” Like her broth- er. Bob, she is both shy and industrious. BLANCHE MOULTON, North Wilbraham. Our little friend from Indian Orchard is a perfect lady to whom we cannot pay enough homage. She is a decided fav- orite with her stenography teachers and is well known for her ability as an ora- tor. She is also a popular member of Aloha. It certainly was a lucky day for us when she left Tech. We are all fortunate to know her. AGNES MURRAY, Longmeadow. Agnes is one of our quiet, peaceful girls, but of late she has been inclined to talk a bit in Miss Dearborn’s English class. She is able to master the spelling of states without their capitals. Spelling makes her blush. Agnes is always ready to help anyone, and is always on hand when needed. MIRIAM MUZZEY. 15 Berondo Street. Miriam is another one of our shy girls and Alice’s inseparable friend. She gained her fame at the time of the Sen- ior play. Her favorite hobby in school is to debate (in silence). RUTH N El DEL, 178 Lebanon Street. A splendid student and a splendid girl. Ruth is most mild and modest and unas- suming. but when there is any real brain work to be done, depend upon Ruth. Did you say speeches? Leave it to Ruth to induce the purchase of Thrift Stamps or the adoption of better speech! Ask any one in Rooms 110, 109 or 207. Ah, well. —some people are born bright. She was one of the nine fairies that made such a hit in “Princess Chrysanthemum.” She was also a devoted member of the Girls’ Glee Club. Ruth is noted for her report- ard records, stick-to-itivenes, and natur- 1 loveliness. CLARA PEARSGX Feeding Hills. The second inseparable of the second pair of inseparable twins, Clara is a hard worker in all of her studies. She also has done yeoman service for the Business Management of this sheet. HELEN PIERCE, 332 Bay Street. Miss Pierce is one of the smartest girls in the class. Her card would be ashamed of a B. She is also one of the second pair of inseparable twins in the clas . The teachers will always remember them because of their confusing names, Pierce and Pearson. MADELINE PRESSON, 130 Bloomfield Street. Our Treasurer. Who could be sweet- er? Madeline performs her duties Vith excellent success. She has served on the “Commerce” staff, and has distinguished herself as an orator at the time of the thrift stamp drive. Always dependable, conscientious, and exemplary student! MILDRED ROUNDS. 70 Spring Street. “Millie,” she who makes her violin vir- tually talk. Do you remember, “Some- thing soothing—or I’ll not be responsible for the consequences”? Millie did it. O that night of our Senior play she proved that she could sing as well as make her violin talk. What would our orchestra be without her strong support ? Millie is also known as one of the pretty girls of the class, and is an optimist at all times, hard to anger and easy to please. FLORENCE SHEPARDSON, nee WALLACE, 64 Avon Place. “Here comes the bride!” It is really unnecessary to tell “The Romance of Florence.” Suffice it to say, it was enough to make some very romantic girls, the Laura Jean Libbey type, quiver with ecstasy at the thought of such a romance. For a while, Florence was an object of curiosity, almost of awe, as she walked through the corridors. When asked if she was working, she quaintly re- marked : “Well, I’m working with my husband, if you care to call that zvork” Clever Flossie, here’s luck to you both!
