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.”

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.
