All good things come in small packages. This is especially true of Dot. VVe thought her small when she entered. but now we know that she's eapable of bigger things than she looks. She has shown herself a faithful worker. and we sit back and listen when Dot translates French. But Dot is not too studious to be human. for we have sometimes heard her say that she doesn't like Latin and Geometry. But who would ever guess it? We have missed Dot the past few months. for she is a February. '22, graduate. and so she has visited us only two periods a day. I5ot is liked by all because she is so pleasant and agreeable. and a friend of all. She hopes to enter Brown in the fall and we wish her the best of success.

Then his fellow students seem to 1'f'1Y1f1' him. XVonder why? Did you experience the same difficulty when you were treasurer of the C. H. S. S. S., Bill? But besides being a finan- cial man. Bill is a wit. His humor in Physics elass is gen! erally timely and is appreciated by all except Miss Kennedy. Then. too, Cummings has succeeded well in his studies, in spite of the fact that outside of school he puts much time and effort into chess, in which game he expects to rival Capablanca one of these days. Radio also has allurements for Hill. but it must be hard for this talkative fellow to listen in. FRANK Ceurts Cute H11mi1ify ix Hn' f1lIH!dt1ff0II of all T'liI'fl1t'.

To be sure. Cute is an unassuming fellow. but perhaps that is the reason he has made so many friends at school. He can get all his studies with the exception of Ural Expression, which he thinks should he called O'er All Depression. Cute doesn't expect to go to college, but wherever he goes, we know his 'tfranknness and modesty will win him success. 4-

He detests Physical Training and attends all athletic contests, but he is exceptional in that he conscientiously prepares his Physics lesson every day. with more or less success. l3uck's chief delight is in kicking the football around at lunch period. and the mania is so great that he would rather pass the ball than eat. Buck is one of the most interested supporters we have. and is a veritable mine of information for scores. averages, and positions. And among Mr. liosworth's A records the name Iiucknam is by no means last. Huck is uncertain as to the future, but he will never laek friends while a member of the class of '22 is alive. Carer M.

But his value does not li-- alone in his humor. You should hear him debate! XVords fail us when we try to describe him as he eloquently convinces judges and audience that his side of the argument is the right one. Words fail US, but he has an abundance of them, which he uses to good advantage in speech and rebuttal. Calef's favorite study is Chemistry, but his averages in Physics are certainly pleasing. and in Mathematics he does excellent work. K has success- fully completed the English Course and is headed for Brown.

Introducing Mr. Burdett. literary editor of this volume. The class chose wisely when they placed Clarence in his literary posi- tion. He eats it. VVhat a task is his to sort out the indiscrim- inate jumble of manuscripts. poems. etc.. handed him daily! Yet he always appears fresh and ready, Roy is one of the select few who do their Physics out of class. He has taken a straight course of Science anfl Mathematics--and this includes Review Algebra! But such davs are over. and when he isn't digging up data for English. he indulges in lnterclass Track meets for recreation. VVe know his fine record as a scholar will stand him in good stead in years to come. Good luck, Clarence!

Gentle reader, the fellow whose countenance you sec before you is Bernie! Bernie is quite an athlete. Football, track and baseball teams all claim him. His prowess as a pitcher has become well known, for in his junior year he pitched a 9-0 game against Classical, in which the visitors got only one hit. During the same year he pitched a 12-O victory for Cranston against another of her rivals. Bernie is also a singer and was a member of the quartette which sang Allouette in the hall one morning. Bernie is a hard worker Elllll we are sure that every- thing he attempts will prove successful, and so we have no fear that he will not be able to cope with the problems which he will meet with at the State College. ,losi-:PH Errol-:Nr: AL1-Hows:-1 DnI3i.o1s DeBl0is High erected thoughts seated in the licurt of m1o'tv.vy, Boys3Atl11letic Association C23 C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C23 C 3 C 3- Besides having a variety of good names, DeBlois has a variety of good qualities, which, indeed, can hardly he enu- merated in this writing. Our friend, first of all, is usually quietg but when he begins to speak, we sit up and take notice. Besides being proficient in English, DeBlois also amazes us now and again by his fluency in speaking French and his easy manner in translating, not only prepared lessons, but sight work as well. DeBlois has not decided upon his career or place of business, but we all wish him the best of luck. CHARLES Dooom Charlie Haste makes wu.vt1'.

The dust is thinningsuow.--why it's a motorcycle! Who rides a motorcycle to school? Yes, it's our old friend, Charlie Dodge. Hail the speed king and his steed! The noble steed has thrown him but once. and on that memorable occasion Charlie only parted with a few molars. There is a rumor that a young lady down liden Park way wears a diamond on the third finger of the left hand. Can you, by any chance, enlighten us on this subject, Charlie? We wish you success, Charles, but our advice is not to try to climb trees when per- ambulating with your Harley-Davidson.
