VOLUME EIGHT Mn.mu-in Hoxslk Milly, Mil lf .thc :lo fl'0'ft'H, 'tis not in huh' of you. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C453 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 Q35 C45- Four years ago we were very fortunate in having Mildred come to us, but during her Senior year she made so much noise that we were all thankful when she left C??5 Mill always had her lessons done, and when she was called upon to recite. whether in English, Latin, or French class, everyone gasped with joy, knowing that Milly had her lessons fully prepared. Math. wasn't quite as easy for her but she showed her grit when she stuck that out, and won. Little Mil accomplished her course in the required number of years, and as she finished in February, is now continuing her studying in the Rhode Island College of Education. Perhaps in 1924 we may be able to peek into a little old red schoolhouse and catch a glimpse of Mildred instructing a class in readin', writin', or 'rithmetic. Here's luck to you, Mill GERTRL'Db2 Home JAcksoN Gert, Gertie, Peggy As full of szmsltine as a breeze. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45 3 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C455 Good English League C35. VVe mention Gertrude's name and immediately the thought comes to us that she has never had much trouble in passing successfully her four years of high school. She has been always willing to help anyone in need. She's generally quiet in school, hut if there is any fun to be had, Gertie's ready for it. We often wonder how she ever does all her studying so well and yet has time for the wonderful needle-work that a few chosen ones have been allowed to catch a glimpse of. She really should hold a public exhibition of it. just as she has been always willing to help unfortunates in school, some day soon she will be cooling s imeone's fevered brow. for Gertrude is planning to take up the gentle art of nursing, a11d if ever you should wish to see Peggy under some pretext or other, just call at the Homeopathic Hospital. RUTH JONAH Ruth rl good mind lm.vsr'.tsc.r ll kingdom. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C453 Glee Club C25 C35 C455 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C453 Good English League C355 Minstrel Show C45. Ruth is studious, and naturally always knows her lessons. No one ever hears her com.plain of any unfinished lessons, for a very good reason: she always has them done! She's very quiet hut has a smile for everyone and is always ready to help anyone with lessons, especially with Virgil, that study dreaded hy most laboring students, but seemingly very simple and easy to Ruth. But Ruth doesn't spend all her time studying, we know, because she was i11 the Minstrel Show this last year and helped the cause along. Those who are going to Brown next year will probably see her there, as that is where she intends to go the next four years of her life. Don't forget us of C. H. S., Ruth!

THE CRANSTONIAN Wn.1.1AM Hmmlxurox Bill ,S'r'f the conquering lmrn comes. .S'01Hld the trzunfzft, brat the d1'1n11.f. Boys' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45 3 Thyrsus Club Cl 5 Baseball Manager C355 Track C25 C35 C45. C25 C35 C45g Minstrel Show C15 C25 C35 C45, End C455 Bill is a reg'lar fellerf' He never worries about his studies but he gets them just the same. His popularity with the fellows is shown by the fact that he was elected manager of the C35 baseball team and captained the Senior track team to victory in the inter-class track meet. Bill has also Won fame before the footlights, having been in the minstrel show each year and an end man in his Senior year, During the minstrel Bill certainly did show the girls how to knit, a11d as for a producer of artificial tears he is without a peer. Bill has been studying hard this year so that he can go to Kingston in the fall. The best wishes of the class are with you, Bill, and here's hoping that you go through Kingston as fast as you go through Auburn in your Baby Grand. ETHEL DouGLAs HAY Dougie, Haye, Ethel Tears of laughter only, flow from hm' eyes. Girls' Athletic Assocaition C15 C25 C35 C453 Mathematics Club C35 3 Good English League C35 g Glee Club C45. Ethel is just brim full of laughter. Almost everything amuses her. No one knows when she will go into peals of joy. causing everyone around her to become merry and to forget the cares of school life. Of course. you can see why everyone likes her so well. Dougie's favorite subject is Math. and she shows her interest in it by her good marks, VVould that some of the other girls had her mathematical mind when struggling through Algebra and Geometry. Be thankful, Ethel! Doug's always ready for a good time, probably like the Douglas of the movies. But Ethel was not destined for screen life. Her plan is to go to college and there she will probably specialize in Math., although she hasn't said so. If good wishes from ns will help you to succeed, Ethel, you'll do so! EVELYN HoRToN fl smile for Uurlz, a friend to nil. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C453 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C453 English League C353 Basketball C35 C45. Evelyn is a wee bit of a miss with a wee voice, but is she always so quiet? Well, no, she can make herself heard if she so desires. Although Miss Thompson says, Louder, please, Evelyn remains quite calm and makes a more successful effort to be heard. Evelyn is neither a radio bug nor a jazz hound, but she is an all-round enthusiast. She has won the much cov- eted C in basketball, and has helped the team on to victory. She can always be seen at a game Cgreen sweater and earrings to match5 rooting for Cranston as a loyal daughter! Your friends from Cranston will always be with you in thought, Evelyn, whatever you do or wherever yon go. May success be yours!

THE CRANSTONIAN DOROTHY JORDAN Dot, Dottie For 311013 a jolly good follow! Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45, Good English League C355 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C45. How very appropriately this quotation applies to Dot! If you hear a rather stifled giggle somewhere in the building, you go to the corner whence it came, and there is Dot Jordan. In fact, I think she likes giggling better than school work. She is a dandy sport, as all who know her will admit. She doesn't rave in favor of Geometry, but she has stuck it out! We believe she has set Brown as her next step in the educa- tional line, and she can't help getting there and having as many friends there as she has at Cranston. Good luck to you at Brown, Dot, and remember the man worth while is the man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong! ELIZABETH KANE Betty In small proportions we just beauties see, And in short measures life may perfect be. Girls' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45, Secretary C25, Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C453 Orchestra C15, Good Eng- lish League C35. A mischievous miss is Betty, with her laughing blue eyes and jocund air. If there is a stir, a giggle and then subdued laughter, and Betty is around, there is no need to look further for the cause. Always in fun and seldom in trouble, or if Betty is in trouble there are few to hear of it, but a good pal who is always ready to help someone else. Our Betty is usually the fairy or butterfly in the plays, for what girl is so dainty and petite as she? In fact, it used to bother Betty just a little, to be so small, but we find that she has decided to forget it. It would be a terrible shock to find that Betty was stretching out and we were losing la petite fille. Betty is heading for Sim- mons and you may be sure we will miss her, for we have found that good things come in small packagesul FRANK VIALL KIMBALL Frankie, Kibbie Hr has an oar in vwryoneir boat and a finger in every pie. Boys' Athletic Association C15 C25 C35 C45, Secretary C45, Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C453 Minstrel Show C25 C35g Business Manager C25 C35 C453 Football C45, Assistant Business Manager of C'rnu.vfonian Board C353 C. H. S. S. S. C25. How true! Look at his list of activities and judge for yourself. Frank has been an active member of the B. A. A. for the last four years, for has he not had something to do about the Minstrel Shows every year except the first? As Business Manager for three years, Frank has proved himself as one possessed with great executive ability. Much of the suc- cess of the shows is clue to his hard work. However, Kibbie has not confined his hard work to the shows, but football, debating and the Thyrsus Club have had their share of his atten- tion. I must not forget to mention the fact that Frankie is extremely fond of P. T. Ask him for particulars. One of the many things that Frank is always complaining about is that there have been no afternoon dances equal to those of last year. Frank intends to enter Brown in the fall and besides making many friends there we know that, as usual, he will have a nnger in every pie.
