FLORENCE LOUISE ALFORD G. A. A. C15 C25 C35: Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35. It may be a long reach from chemistry to dressmaking, but it isn't beyond the reach of Florence: for she not only likes chemistry, but is very adept at sewing. Nor is she alone content with the realms of science and domestic arts, but she must try her hand at playing the piano. She does not intend to further her education along the classical line, but is going to Miss Gibbs' Secretarial School. AL VA LOUISE ANDERSON G. A. A. C15 C25 C35 C45: Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C451 Class Vice-President C451 Library Committee C45. Alva is the shorter of the Anderson twins. She has com- pleted the Classical course and is now at R. I. C. E. studying to be a librarian. Alva has been an enthusiastic rooter at all school games and has ever been ready to lend a hand. She is a great bookworm. Plays are her joy. Is there a play in the Edge- wood Library that she has not read? Add to Alva's love of books a sweet disposition, diligence, and patience, and you will see why some large library is destined to have a great librarian. ALVAN ANDERSON B. A. A. C15 C25 C35 C451 Minstrel C35 C451 Thyrsus Club C15 C25 C35 C455 Dramatic Division C35 C45: Treas- urer C45 : Vice-President Home Room C45. We have never tried to count the number of Andersons that have passed through Cranston, but we know Alvan stands head and shoulders above them all. His pet diversion, outside of talking to the young ladies, has been the Thyrsus Club, of which he has always been a prominent member. I-Iis acting in the annual Thyrsus Club play has won him much applause. The B. A. A. minstrel has also given Andy a chance to show his talent. Andy with his wavy hair is very popular at Cranston. I-Ie is going to R. I. State College. l13l

IDA MAY ANDERSON G. A. A. QU f2D UD HJ: Thyrsus Club C11 C23 OJ C4J: Class Secretary OJ: Marshal OJ: Room Secretary C4J: Student Council C411 Library Committee 141: R. I. Honor Society, 1924. The fact that Ida is a twin does not prove she is exactly like Alva. She has tastes and habits all her own. She loves children and many are the times that she has sacrificed a good movie to stay home and tell stories to some child. She has read books galore, which is evident from her conversation. Movies are her specialty, and she is a veritable encyclopedia of actors. Now at R. I. C. E. she is taking the library course, but perhaps we may hear of her as a kindergarten teacher. HOPE LINCOLN ANTHONY O. A. A, qzp up 149. Thyrsus Club 415 qzp my 443. Hope has made a creditable showing in her studies and several times appeared on the honor roll. She loves little children, and is particularly fond of dancing and all outdoor sports, so much so that last year she procured a truck to take the rooters to the football games. She left us in February and has obtained a fine position at the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company. EVELYN MARY ARNOLD O. A. A. up qzp 435 1455 Thyrsus Club up Q25 up 443 There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face: for by looking at Ev one would never think her capable of cut- ting up : yet she told us secretly, when asked. that she did love to raise the dickens at times. Just taking long walks and talking with some one interesting pleases her as much as any- thing. She likes to sing. too. Typewriting holds a certain charm for her, and in the future she intends to go into secretarial work. IHI
