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.

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!

GRACE Lows Gracie S1w'etucs.v, and truth, and cwry gram. Girls' Athletic Association C13 C23 C33 C435 Basketball C13 C23 C33 C435 Basketball Captain C43. Happy Gracie, shc's always happy. VVe've never seen her otherwise. Even when she's studying. she seems to be having a good time. Grace, how extraordinary! But she has the best time when she is playing basketball. Then she is in her glory. For six months she was Captain and Business Manager of the team and she certainly proved herself very capable. Her grad- uation in February put an end to her term of service. VVe were all sorry that she graduated, for we missed a good pal. VVell, Gracie, do what you're going to do, but have a good time about it, Vile know you will. IRENI-f MAY Irene, Rene Too wise' lo errg too good tn lm unkind. Girls' Athletic Association C33 C433 Thyrsus Club C23 C33 C43. In Irene. we meet one of the most studious girls in our class. Irene really enjoys stenography, which is more than most ot' us can say. Those who know her best find her a very jovial sort of person. Rene is 11ever seen wearing a frown. but is cheery with everyone she speaks to, even though she does like to argue a bit. Irene is planning to go to Bryant Sz Stratton to study for a B. C. S. and to teach her beloved stndy, Stenog- raphy. We all wish you the best of success.
