THE DUBFEE RECORD 17 Frances Madeline Connell , I K 4 g ITTLE MISS CONNELLH indulged in her favorite sport of walking, and appeared at Durfee the year before most of us. Owing to ill health, however, she deferred her graduation so that she might go out with the illustrious class of 1915. Her favorite study is Zoologyg and although she does not look very courageous, a grasshopper cannot terrify her. She is an able needle- won1an and considers sewing her hobby. Frances is preparing for Normal School. K Il li Dalton Packard Grossman K , ALTON entered the halls of Durfee in the fall of 1911 With the smile running from ear to car and the chances are that he will take the same smile with him when he goes. He has a kind of 1 should Worry air which is his passport. His hobby is chicken fancying. He is sornetirnes called 4'Tack, a result from his having been born in the Tacky town of Taunton. He hopes to enter U. of Penn.

THE DURFEE RECORD Blanche Virginia Coleman I! 4 g HE KIDH is the assiduous, competent and dignified member of our class. Her birthplace was in Putnam, but near the beginning of her school days she chose this city for her home and therefore became a graduate of the Highland School. Solving problems is her strong point. When the coin- pany is select, she prefers walking to all other diversions. lt hurt like the dickensu is her favorite byword. She also expects to enter Miss Wheeloek's School. . KKK Helen Comey K UST two days behind the new year, Helen entered Fall River. Whether it was morning or night we cannot say, but are inclined toward the latter, as we have heard Helen say, Good-night on an average of a dozen times a day for the last few years. Espe- cially does she use this choice bit when wrest- ling with her favorite subject, Geometry. She also entertains a fondness for tennis, and is some pianist as well. Next fall we shall prob- ably hear of Helen at Smith.

18 THE DURFEE RECORD Anastatia Catherine Crowther as 4 g NNAH is another of our well known, popular students and an all around good fellow. She certainly can make things hurn. Her jokes provoke spasms of laughter, and her serious recitations in our weekly recitations in Civics hold close atten- tion. Dancing is her accomplishment. In this line she proves herself more graceful than all others. Bridgewater will probably see her next year. Ill!!! Margaret Alice Curry K g 4 EGGY has the unique distinction of being the sole member of our class who is preparing for a technical training. Unlike her sister-pupils, who have for the most part intentions of pursuing domestic courses, this demure miss, through four years has endured the loneliness of boys' classes, so that she 'could prepare for M. I. T. She enjoys mathematics and now and then, a boating trip.
