. Agnes Cheever AGNES CHEEVER. Those of us who have been so privileged as to be admitted tc Agnes' home have seen hanging over the blue and white flag, the motto: Slow and steady wins the race. Those who were in that dreadfulsophomore Latin class can testify that Agnes has lived up to it not only in Latin but in everything else. Agnes knows where the biggest violets grow and will willingly pilot you there, if you are courageous enough to ask her. She joined the debating society but was so afraid that she couldn't talk faster than the boys that she didn't dare to debate . but since she can scale up and down on a piano she has played for us two or three times at debates and rhetoricals. Agnes has not yet decided whether she will travel for a pure rheumatism-cure firm or go to Normal but it would seein that she has a penchant for the latter as she has taken the necessary course. ' Cassie Cooney CASSIE COON EY. When we first ascended the tortuous flight of stairs leading to the attic and as green freshmen sized each other up, we all whispered that the most noticeable thing about Cassie Cooney was her great long pig-tails and her dimples. It would seem that they had attracted other people too, for have you noticed how many balls Cassie has been going to and how often she has been canoeing on Windsor Lake? fCassie's greatest cross has been her undigniiied height and to overcome this she played basketball for two years, nevertheless we will overlook these small failings and trust that she will be wiser as she gets olderj. She is remarkable for her good nature, and every morning has gladdened the hearts of her companions by singing all the way to school. p 19

Edith Elizabeth Brown EDITH ELIZABETH BROWN. For four long years Edith has wended her way from the Four Corners to gain her education at Old Drury. We cannot always judge her by those innocent looking eyes, for she is always found smiling, especially after one of Mr. Thomas' calldovvns. Thus she has gained the reputation of Gigg1ing Edith . We expected to find Edith a dignified Senior this year but we were sadly disappointed, for this winter she suddenly became very frivolous, attending the vaudeville and dances every week. But perhaps that was due to the influence of Carrie, her constant companion. Edith is the youngest member of the class and has stood high in her studies during the entire course. We wish her the greatest success at the Normal, which she expects to attend next year. Jennie Chain JENNIE CHAIN. Modest little Jennie comes in each morning with a smile and a pleasant word for all. She is one of the trio that has taken the Business Course and is Miss Goodwin's Star stenographer and, as for typewriting--well, the rest of the business pupils had better look out. She is every one's friend and no one's enemy. Those that know her are anxious to become better acquainted with her. Jennie may go to the Boston Chandler School but even though she does not, she is sure of success in whatever she undertakes. 18

Arthur Dailey ARTHUR DAILEY. Here we have the great and only. The ladies' man, funny boy, financier of the Senior class and a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Arthur is agraduate of Free- man and lives up in Houghtonville with LaDame. Arthur is a sport. He brought Alice Haddow down to school every day during his high school course and after school he generally escorted any- where from three to twelve girls back to their respective homes on the hill. Arthur is a conscien- tious scholar but his Jonah subject is Physics. He made the second team in football but as he was too light for heavy work for any other kindj he wasn't what could be called a great success. He never hesitated to speak what he thought and hisnhonest opinion was always sought in questions of importance in Senior class meetings. If everything goes right, Arthur is going to attend the University of Vermont next year but wherever he goes his classmates will find him a jolly, good-natured, fun- loving fellow, and will never have cause to regret his coming among them. Albert James Darling ALBERT JAMES DARLING. Darling, as self-contained and imposing as the Senior girls are said to be staid and sober, fell into the ranks of '06 from Mark Hopkins, whose sheltering Walls he only consented to leave along with his cronies, the Whitney Bros. As a junior Albert Won the palm at prize speaking and would have been honored this year, had the essay he failed to write in time, materialized. With strenuous voice and strong expression he becomingly rendered Four score and seven years ago on Memorial Day to oblige the city fatl1ers. Between the Normal School and Green field, Albert has contrived to pleasantly pass away vacations and it is rumored actually has a girl , since he was seen showing the points of interest in the city to such acompanion. But perhaps it was only a mere relation . Albert will speak at graduation and then leave for Middletown, Conn., where he will live in the future. Thus endeth the history of A. Darling up to date. 20
