He is an athlete. clramatist. and student combined. three in one, as it were. His dramatic abilities have become well known. for he has taken part in practically every play the Thyrsus Club has given during the last three and a halt' years. Please note that we said three and a half years. and then draw your own conclusions. Charlie is a fast one. too. l'Jon't get excited. however. for what we are trying to say is that Charlie is quite :i runner. Charlie can dance as well as run and is quite popular with the ladies. lt is said that he shows extraor- dinary care in guarding his partner at dances and seldom or ever does he change a partner. Charlie is going to Brown in the fall. There we know he will succeed :url the best wishes of the class are with him. Enw our l-HEEHAN Eddie Him for Ihr' .vfudimix .rhode Kin-d riaturf formed.

Such marks! He is a wonder, and no mistake. VVC should like to tigure up his average for the entire four years. VVe'll wager it would be over 90, though perhaps not over 99. And then, he plays hockeyvfand baseball. so he is by no means a grind. VVe certainly may be proud of Eddie! As for pals. did you ever see Eddie without joe within calling distance? They are as inseparable as Miss Holt and Professor Harkness! Eddie is going to Brown. Vile know he'll make some record there in Latin, and the class will follow him with interest and pride.

Gladys is not as quiet as one might think. Look into her sparkling brown eyes! Although Gladys has been with us only two years, she has won nianv Firm friends for who could help liking one so full of fun? She has studied well, as her reports will readily show. She expects to enter the business world upon graduation, and we feel sure, with her earliest endeavor and cheery disposition, she will surely be a successful stenographer.

THE CRANSTONIAN RUTH CLARK ANTHONY . Dixie, Rufers Sing away sorraitg' cast uzuuy cure. Girls' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C435 Thyrsus Club C33 C43g Glee Club C13 C23 C33 C431 Good English League C43 g Class Vice-President C43. Here we have Dixie-singer, dancer, pianist, cartoonist-in fact, an all-round sport, And we have an inkling that some day we may see Dixie's name in Keith's circuit programs. If so. she'll have many admirers from C. H. S. We can't help liking her because she is so jolly and friendly. She has always been interested in school activities whether athletic or social. We have seen Dixie only one short period a day since February and we sure have missed her. But we try to make up for it by seeing her after school. just what she'll do after leaving C. H. S. we do not know, but she has a fondness for the School of Design. Wherever she goes, or whatever she does, we know that she will always have plenty of friends. INGRID ANDREN lnhy utbillf tvorkczl und .sang from morn till night, N0 lark more blitlw than sim. liirls' Athletic Associationg Thyrsus Club. Ingrid always comes to school smiling. She is never down- hearted or gloomy. She often says, I never know a thing! Yet Inhy is studious and upon first sight would appear quiet, but there is always a smile lurking somewhere about. There is no question about it. Ingrid is really full of fun and always ready for a good time. She is well liked and many of us outside of her immediate circle of friends miss her since she left us in February to take a business position for which her commercial training in C. H. S. has eminently fitted her. Li2oNARn BAILEY Len Raft with eval, pt'1'.rz1t1.i'i-rw, lfolzl, and strung, Rolled flu' full tide of lzix rlm1m'i1t'c along. Hays' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C33g Captain of Debating Team C33 C433 Class President 4433 Football C431 Chess Team C43. Coming to Cranston in the winter of 1918, Leonard imme- diately began to make a name for himself and if repeated sight of a thing enables one to describe it accurately, then Bailey should be able to locate everything in the office with the perfec- tion of an artist. But Leonard is not all fun loving, for he also has much natural ability. Where shall we begin when we start to tell of that? Shall we tell first of his orator's eloquence in the Debates or of his argumentative powers in class? Well, for the last two years Len has captained the successful debating teams which have won for us the permanent possession of a silver cup. Particularly brilliant have been his rebuttals on these memorable occasions. A glance at his scholastic record shows that he is also no poor student and in Geometry he fairly shincs. At other times he takes his debating ability into class and wc have heard some Fine arguments in English class. Len is also a football player and a brilliant writer, his essay on Armistice Day being the best of those written in the school. Leonard has decided to become a banker. showing that he really has personality and is not one of that indiscrimin'tte conglom- eration of individuals. Go to it, Leonard, say we, for some day we may wish to borrow a few thousand.

THE CRANSTONIAN RICHARD J. BORUEN Dick .S'111ooIl1 ruu.v the water, feherc flu' brook ix dm'f1. Boys' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C43 3 Thyrsus Club C23 C435 Class Treasurer C3A3 C4B33 Football Manager C433 Debate C435 Cramimzion Board C43. Here's to Dick, the youth who by uncovering his latent talent as an orator has simply swept us off our feet with astonished admiration! VVho would have thought, prior to March l7th. that this apparently timid youth had. concealed within him, the genius of an Anthony, a Cicero, or a Webster? And on the other hand. who is now willing to doubt it. after having heard him at the Debate and also in the hall in behalf of the C il'tlll.Yfl7llitIll .9 Not only are we proud of Dick for what he can and has done, but we admire him for what he is-quiet and unassuming, yet sincere, dependable. and a mighty Fine fellow. XVithout him the class of '22 would find itself with a social deficit, which would be hard to make up. As regards studies. Dick's name has never been read for an all 3A report card but we know he has the brains to do anything he wants to and we have no fear for him when he leaves Cranston. He is planning to join the fresh- men of R. l. State next fall and the very best wishes of old C. H. S. will be with him when his voice rings through the rafters at Kingston to the tune of lu good old United States. boys, let's go l H. f,iKANlflIil,l3 iiRAll3S Grannie But flmu CIl'lIItl'.Vf rfulonr, loo, mul wil.

Grannie has been with us only three years-would it had been more! Our Grannie is a most likable chap. very popular. with girls especially. His accomplishments? First: he is an actor. Remember the Thyrsus Club plays? Second: he is a star in linglish and Oral Expression. Third: he has a faculty for doing French fmirkly. The other day. he claimed he had tl0l1C six pages of French in ten minutes. Now that is morally wrong, because he can't read English that fast. Fourth: as an associate editor of this year's fiI'lIll.Vf0lll'tlll, he has displayed great ability and loyalty, and helped largely in the success of this book. lt is very likely that, after leaving us, he will study to be a Chiropractor, in which profession he will undoubtedly be most successful. l.n,I.u: Bnowx Lil utblllf' ix fvrctty fn walk reilh And witty to lull: with .ffnd plmstmt, lon, to think ou. Girls' Athletic Association C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C33 C43. Always ready for fun as well as for study is Lil. VVe don't know her as well as we should like to, because she has only been with us two years. Wherever you see Lil, you see Glad. I'm sure everyone remembers how they used to whisper and giggle up in the Millinery Class the fifth and sixth periods on Thurs- day. Lil's brown eyes just twinkle with fun. Her creditable work in the Commercial Course gives an indication of future success as a stenographer, which is her aim. Here's good luck. Lil !
