THE DURFEE RECORD 21 mummmn- Edward Francis Carey December, 1892 A. D. and 550 had twn years of Hbalm: bawl practise more than the majority of us. That he took advantage of this is clearly demonstrated by his excellent baseball record, tats compiled by himselfl. Althimgh the national game is his forte, he is a clever all-round athlete and a capable team executive. i Etl'l had Hpasw-irlH a yearis sojourn at Durfee when we arrived, having graduated from the Foster Hooper grammar school in 1907. Howex-er our Charms were. too much for him and he abandoned his old love for the new, and decided 1.0 graduate in the class of 1912 rather than in that lees glorious class of 1911. He has not decided what he will do after he leaves Durfee. 11ED Was horn on the twenty-hrst day of KKK John Maurice .I-Iennessy ACK i5 unc- ut the big men of the class. He J was born in this city in the year 1892. A very hard worker during his grammar schuul career, graduating from the Highland, one of the highest in his class. However, the studies here at Durlee ditlnit just suit him and he became negli- gent. He is earnest and easily agitated; a look at his desk will indicate his practise 01' neatness. The hasehall iliamnml, fouthall field, and l'Jasket- ball Hour have all claimed his attention. Jack meets everyone with the same hearty manner that has made for him many friends. He has taken the Technical Course and we trust he will become a success as a master mechanic.

HRH Walter Raymon Britland EP'J'EIVIBER 13, 1893 is famous because on S that day occurred the birth of this popular member of the Technical course. He grad- uated from the Davenport School, and entwreti, with the immortal Class of 19.12, in the fall 011908. Sinve then the honors conferred upon him have been almost too many to mention. HBritH is a member of the Delta Gamma Sigma Fraternity. and during the football season of 1911-1912, managed the Durfee team. for the creditable work of which he deserves much praise. 1:111de friends might suggest that YtiE-Iathgel' was not ovcr-studimls, but those who know him heat. cemplctcly overlook such criticisms. 'IBrit is aim famous; as a cmnediau, and scores many hits with his originai tPJ jokes. 111 this respect he is second only to one other member of our Class, whose name is too wcli-kuown to mention here. Although W'alter is as yet undecided where the pursuit of higher eriu tatiun will next lead him, his aim is to he an engineer, and we wish. him all success.
