THE DURFEE RECORD DORRS ASIITON Do I “Dot one of the best-liked and most genial of our class, will always be remem- bered by her classmates as a girl of pleas- ant manners and charming personality. In the normal course at Durfee she lias kept, lip her long record of high marks received at the Samuel Watson School. ’‘Dot’ is a good sport, a spectator at all games. Motoring and tennis she claims as her pet hobbies. Her sunny disposition especially adapts her for her future kindergarten work.

ALICE DAILEY ■wr This is “Al, of sunny disposition, gentle and low-voiced. She calmly entered Durfee from the John J. McDonough and just as calmly lias she passed over the difficulties of the Normal Course. “Al has shown her- self to he capable in (‘very line of work, especially in English. To offset the strain of too much study “Al finds diversion in reading. Bridgewater Normal is “Al’s next goal. There we know she will not lose her enviable reputation, that of being a quiet, pleasant and intelligent young lady. “07 0 .s cafes, heli(tues and ads jnsi as s t (,ngh I HORTENSE DELIA BERGERON “ ? ” Hod Jlonk! ljonk !

Mac” lias certainly been a valuable mini for Durfee. As a tennis, hockey, football and baseball player be has been the main reason for many a Durfee vic- tory over rivals. “Mac” not only features in sports, hut also in studies. In English lie rivals our own Daniel Webster as an orator, while in Latin ('icero is considered “way be- hind” him. Because of “Mac’s” athletic abil- ity the athletes ot' Durfee have shown their appreciation of his excellent, all-round play- ing by choosing him as captain of our hock- ey. football and baseball teams: as a reward for his intellectual ability Mac” was select- ed as associate editor of this book. Who could wish for a better record than this? Next, year we will see our popular school- mate leading the Yale freshmen teams to victory. Keep up the good work. “Mac.” We are proud of you.

By his very looks you can easily see what good material is in him. Fat” lias always been a con- stant worker, both in school and social af- fairs. The premium of his good work in the ('adot. organization was the position as sup- ply officer. Well deserving of this job is “Fat,” for he certainly has done a groat deal to boom the Cadets. He is also a prominent member of the Forum, at which organization he is always to be heard saying something important. To “Fat” also fell tile chairman- ship of our “JnnlC committee. In school work. too. “Fat” Is there” and because of his good natured disposition we are undoubt- edly positive that we will hear of his good results in future years although he had not told us where he intends to study next. f smile—so win should worry.” SYLVESTER STEPHEN ARNOLD “.S' ” “Lo.s” “Your country calls you!” These were the words which repeatedly sounded in “SyPs’’ ears. After spending three full years at Durfee. Syl decided that a sailor's life was better than a student's. Accordingly he joined the navy as a signalman on board the F. S. S, Pennsylvania. Undoubtedly he will he a favorite companion to all the sailors, but, what a look will appear on a F-boat captain's face when he sees the waving of “SyPs” flags. We are unable to prophesy a future for our companion of three long years, but. we really know that a smiling countenance and happy disposition is worth while. May you remain ever so in our minds, nol le patriot. Kneel and seemly il is It fitjh! for one's country.

THE DURFEE RECORD 17 SAMLHL BOBOSKY ‘VS am my” Sum'1 TvLirlit this way for the but show! Such would he the announcement of our popular friend, a graduate of the Borden School. Many a time and oft lias ■‘.Sum, the stoutest pupil in oil)' class, furnished us a clever stunt. Although lie looks heavy, the girls say lie is very, very light on his feet while dancing. Since a fat man is unable to sink our amiable pupil lias taken to swimming and does, undoubtedly, make many envy him. As a guard on our football team Tie blocked and foiled the oncoming attacks by the enemy’s regulars, thereby helping the team a great deal. Also, in the Forum, the voice of this second Webster resounded. Wo shall all miss “Sain when he graduates in June. Everybo lv lover a fat man PRUT;MAX SYDXPV BORDLX ‘VS' ' ’’ The Birth of a Nation” must have been the exclamation uttered by many at Syd’s” awakening. This, one of the youngest mem- bers of the class, bails from .Somerset, the home of big things. The fame of Fall River’s knowledge-producing eiliciency brought this wonder to JRirfee, where lie has taken a foremost position among Ills classmates. In the four years that he lias been with us Tie has proved himself an intellectual marvel, especially in mathematics and Latin. Pnlike many, he is always ready to help a friend in need at any time. For this Tie lias gained for himself a multitude of friends. Free- man’s favorite pastime is touring, either in his machine or on his motorbike. Some speeder, eh! After completing ids education at Brown he expects to enter the Latin de- partment of Diirfee as an instructor. The class’s best wishes go with you. Freeman.

She has also taken much interest in the Forum and she has filled the breach there for entertainments several times. She has a rather bud habit, however, of coining into our noble institution almost every morn- ing at, just about N.KJ o'clock, but she never forgets her excuse's, so she is safe. Next year she expects to do a few of the teachers at. the Rliole Island School of Design out of a job, and we all wish her luck. Xou est vivore sed valcrv Vila.”
