L1 LLIAN MATIIILDA GVSTAFSOX Gusty , Thyrsus Club 111 121 131 1-11, Girls' Athlctic Club 111 121 131 141. So light of foot, so light of spirit. Gusty is one of the liveliest girls in our lively class. a jolly and happy-,-ro-lucky girl. She and Mar are almost always seen together. Gusty's favorite pastime is dancing, and much of her time outside of school is spent in tripping the light fantastic, She is always on hand at the school dances, too. ,She finished the Commercial Course in Feb- ruary and left us to go to work until after graduation. Then perhaps she and Mar will go to some business school, where they will 'continue their education together. DOROTHY MILLER HAMPISON DoiTidy, l'orthos, Doti' Thyrsus Club 111 121 131 1413 Minstrel Show 131 141: Girls' Athletic Association 121 1313 Class Vice-Presb dent 1415 Good English League 1215 Orchestra 131 141 g Library Committee 141. Sho is pretty fo walk with, Ami witty to talk with, .incl pleasant, too, to think on. Here is our lively and fun-loving Dot. 1Vith all her love of gaiety, she has a studious vein hidden away somewhere, for any morning before 9 o'clock she can be seen struggling with Algebra or Geometry. Dot is quite talented, too. She draws pictures. plays the violin very well, and as a toe dancer she charms us. Dot is one of the tl11'ee mus- keteers who intend to enter Brown in the fall. Dot would like to travel as a concert player after her college career is over. We predict a brilliant future in that or whatever else she undertakes. ANNIE XVYATT HANDLICY LKAnne9! Girls' Athletic Association 111 121 131 1-11g Thyrsus Club 111 121 131 141g Good English League 1313 Library Committee 141. A kind und gcntlc heart has sho To comfort friends and foes. Anne is one of those quiet. lovable girls. who is the friend of all and the enemy of none, She isn't a girl who 'tstarts things. but she is always ready to take part, whether it is in preparation for a :Senior dance or merely in the enjoy- ment of an extremely comic copy of the t'Hitf-hing Post. Anne plans to go to 'Simmons to take a librarian's course, and we are conlident that if she does as well in her studies there as she has at Cranston, she will get through success- fully and become a charming little librarian. We hope that Boston will not claim her indefinitely, but that she will find a position near home. 23 1

Just see who you've bumped into-Mil Zllld Ethel! Of course, you wouldn't expect to bump into one of them without bumping into the other, for they're always together. If Mil goes to a dance, Ethel is sure to go with her. Mil is very fond of dancing. She is a jolly natured girl and has many friends at Cranston. She has studied commercial subjects in schoolg her favorite is stenography, and she excels in typewriting.

How often we have envied him his Valentino hair with its part of mathematical accuracy! Even in a football scrimmage it has a facility of staying in place. His popularity with his classmates is proved by his being: made custodian of their exchequer, and his energy in this oflice has lightened our pockets. He has finished his course very creditably and expects to go to Brown in the fall. JAMES BENJAMIN GREENE Jimmie Boys' Athletic Association 113 123 133 1433 Thyrsus Club 113 123 133 1433 Secretary 1335 Class President 123 133 gy Student Council 143. 'iiml when a Zarlgfs in the Case, Yoa know all other things give place. Jimmie is an ofiicer of the famous 'Student Council, of which we hear much, but see little. Apparently he is not overburdened with the duties of otlice. Jimmie is an au- thority on tennis. He wanted to play football, but could never get a suit. And in addition to being a tennis expert and a would-be football star, Jimmie is an actual sailor. ln his Senior year he started rushing all the girls, and will probably continue to do so in Peimsylvaniia next year. NVQ all like Jimmie and wish him the very best of success. 22
