THE DURFEE RECORD 27 Anna Gertrude Garvey 4 Q AN is without doubt the class tease. lf she can only get someone on the end of a string, she will do the dang- ling act, with perfect satisfaction. She is no shirker, but is faithful in every study, and seems to enjoy them all, especially History. Her interest in basketball was keen until the season closed. She will enter Normal School in the fall. se x za Doris Hall Gifford If OBIS, having learned all there was to be imparted at the Samuel Watson School, joined our class in the search for further knowledge. Dixie says her hobby is remembering people's middle names and birthdaysg and she extends this to remem- bering her lessons, especially French. Exact, precise, she is the delight of her teachers, and may be depended on to answer the question which everyone else fails on. She is a native of North Westport, a region just across the water from our own city limits. When she reaches Smith College, we expect she will cut quite a figure on Paradise Pond during the skating season, as well as in the class-room. Success-well, we hardly need ask it for Doris, since it seems to come to her of its own free will.

Benoit Wilfred Garneau THF DURFEE RECORD Margaret Irene Flynn N HIS easy going maiden of the Normal course is a graduate of the Davis School. Although she follows the inotto l should worry! she has never been left behind in regard to her scholarship standing. Margaret is an ardent letter writerg and since she re- ceives mail from all parts of the country, we do not wonder at it. Latin and basketball both hold a strange fascination for our young friend. Bridgewater Normal will be Marg- aret's post office address for the next two years. III!!! 4 g ILN N lL is our most frivolous mem- ber. lle is a live wire-always on the jump-as anyone who has ridden in his Ford will testify. Benny is especially popu- lar among the girls whom he is constantly jolly- ing. The lioom 12 fairies are more interest- ing to him than the session teacher approves. When he gets bored, he sometimes studies. Greek is his specialty. He intends to enter Laval University in Quebec to become a sur- geon. His specialty will be carving and removing bank rolls.

THE DURFEE RECORD Hilda Gifford URING the breezy month of March, Hilda just naturally blew into Fall River, which city she has since made her headquarters. Goodnatured, happy, with a smile for everybody, Hilda has enjoyed nine years at the Westall and four at Durfee with- out seriously disturbing the gray matter by way of study. One subject she likes, and that is Algebra. Some day we expect to see Hilda a kindergarten teacher, whether at a public school or in her own home we cannot tell. However, the one who accompanies her through life will have few dull moments. Helen White Grush ll ELEN is a well-liked member of the Senior Class. She is always good- natured, and has a smile for everyone. She takes her studies seriously and finds Botany most interesting. Helen likes out- door sports and in summer spends much time enjoying the swimming. All good luck to Helen.
