Adah, where did you put that basketball? And Adah always knows, for she is one dandy basketball player. As coach, she takes Miss Cooke's place very successfully, and besides, she is also business manager! Quite a business woman, you see. Quiet and demure? Oh, yes, once in a while, but more often she is lively. Catch her in that mood and you'll have a rollick- ing time. Adah is just lots of fun. Mischief lurks in those eyes! And yet-Adah ADORES studying! You think she looks studious? I don't. And another thing she adores. Oral Expression! How often she has heard Push out the tones a little more. No one has to tell her that on the basketball court. There, she demonstrates her real ability along this line. Well, Adah, cheer up! have a good time and study hard, You'll get there all right. 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.

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.

THE CRANSTONIAN Ros:-3 Mt'N.x M.xi:,x Rhody In fiirtilfs llflffllllilj cnrtlzly could .rurfmss lien Girls' Athletic Association Q13 Q23 Q33 Q43 g Thyrsus Club Q13 Q23 Q33 Q433 Glee Club Q23 Q33g English League Q33. Rose is one of those fortunate persons who has completed her high school course in three and a half years. Always calm and poised, never upset or in a furor, yet by all means a good sport, and in for fun, Each study period finds Rose absorbed in school work, but she is one whom you are sure will have her lessons perfectly. She intends to go to Normal School, and become a teacher, and what a fine one she will make! Her pupils will admire her as her classmates at Cranston have, The wishes of the class are with you, Rose, for your future success. INI-iz JENNI-:TT Mn.LER Idear, Eye '24 face with ylaz1'nr.r.v 0zw'sfufvz1d. Girls' Athletic Association Q13 Q23 Q33 Q43g Thyrsus Club Q13 Q23 Q33 Q43g Girls' Debating Society Q23g Good English League Q33. Everyone that knows Inez likes her and rightly thinks she is a dear girl. You see, that's where she gets her peculiar, but nevertheless charming nickname, Idear. Her sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks portray her radiant gladness. No one is ever unhappy when Inez is around. She just smiles and the world smiles with her. She hardly ever seems to have her work done when she comes to school, but Eye is always ready to recite when the teacher calls upon her. Inez took a Commercial Course for the four years and next year she is going to a busi- ness college. Some day Idear will be teaching a new system of shorthand and we hope her pupils will be as clever and as happy as she has been. ARTHUR MITCHELL Mitchie, Mitch, Art He wanted a peg In hang his tlzmiglils nn. lioys' Athletic Association Q13 Q23 Q33 Q43g C. H. S. S. S. Q33g Thyrsus Club Q13 Q23 Q33 Q43. Mitchie is the type who keeps still and radiates sunshine. He is seldom heard, but his twinkling eyes are enough to banish solemnity. That is, he is quiet until he strikes Physics class. Hut otherwise Art is sober and industrious with enough humor to keep the spice in life. We are confident he will never lack friends or fortune. Mitch is aiming for Brown, with the amhi- tion to he an electrical engineer.
