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.

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-

Boys' Athletic Association Cl5 C25 C35 C45 3 Baseball C35 3 Football C45. VVhatl You don't know Dinty Donahue? NVhy, you must be mistaken, for everyone knows Dinty, the only real humorist that Cranston ever had, His happy-go-lucky attitude has earned him a host of friends. Dan is always seen shambling about the corridors or rushing to his seat as the bell rings. Dan's prowess with the feebler sex is well known, for the girls just love to :lance with him. Dame Rumor says that Dinty has turned author and is now completing his first writing, entitled Ulilappers I Have Known. This work is ill ten volumes and will soon be on the market. Although Dinty has never dazzled anyone with his marks, he is completing his course without difficulty and expects to go to Holy Cross in the fall. We expect great things of you, Dinty. so go to it.

One look will tell you that she's full of fun and good natured. All our four years here we have found it a pleasure to talk with Biddy, especially when we're feeling blue. She knows how to cheer you up and make you happy. And what fair complexion and rosy cheeks! She's the envy of all the girls. Biddy has taken no active part in social activitiesg yet when- ever there is any merry making or even mischief on, we hear her merry laugh in the midst of it. Biddy is very much interested in kindergarten work, and since she graduated in February has been studying at the Rhode Island College of Education. We know she'll be successful as a teacher, for the children will love to study under her. AI!Bll'1 Ii Mlzizsox DYER Abbie Happi1n'ss c'0n.n'.vts in nt'lir'iIy. Abbie is the happy-go-lucky person whose giggle is usually heard in the corridor before school beginsg in fact, Abbie and her giggle are never separated for long at a time. Once Abbie visited Washington, D. C., and brought back volumes of infor- mation about that city. She doesn't believe in worrying over such little things as tests or studies. Wherever she goes we know that such a sunny disposition will win many friends in the future, as it has done in C. H. S.
