18 T HE DURF E E R E C () R I) HILDA FLORENCE IIKAI SII AW Dili ft mil Hilda was born in Burnley in ‘'Bonnie'’ England, but soon deciding that there was no place like Fall Liver she came hither. She graduated from the William S. L-reene (iranunar School ami entered the open portals of Durt'ee. Here she gradually won her way into the hearts of her classmates by her good nature and merry disposition. Hilda is gift- ed with remarkable vocal abilities and she often look part in school exercises.

Hilda has not told us her plans for the future, hut the good wishes of tin? class will go with her when she departs from Du r fee. Good mi!me h one of (he rii-.h.Cxt { ifl-s. IDA BLODFLK’K There is not f he found in Durfee a quiet- er. daintier miss than Ida.

ELI.A FISHEU BFFFrXHTOX u fluff if We are indeed grateful to the West all (iraiumar School for relinquishing its claim upon Huffy so that she might join our illustrious class. She has certainly done her hit'' for the girls' athletics by serving for two years on the basketball team and three, probably four years, on the tennis team. Those are not the only sports attracting Butty” for eye-witnesses will, attest to her skill in mussing up the links at the (’mintry Club and in vying with Fharlotle for skating honors. Too, one need only spy certain med- als to appreciate BulTy's grout powers as a daughter of Xeptune. It’s not an uncom- mon tiling to set' her in the. spring out for her daily canter. In her capacity as Adver- tising Manager of Tin-: Rkcokd Book Bully has helped a great deal. Next year our good wishes go with her to the Bennett School of Xew York.

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. IE: that reckelU, inijcth IIAZFL ALYA BOKDKX “Al” Here is the pianist, of the school. ‘AV’ is not a boisterous young lady by any means but she is certainly getting results, as can lie seen by her card and heard by her play- ing. 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.”

T H E I) U RFEE RECO R I) 1!) VIVIAN RPR DICK llUlH'V Curi” Roselle Park, Now Jersey, claim tlie hon- or of being Vivian's birthplace. After samp- ling ihe grammar schools of Roselle Park and Chepacbot, R, I., Vivian decided to try Dur- ft'o and liked it. so well that she consented to remain and graduate with us.

Vivian also has special abilities in the arts of painting and drawing and promises to lie a second Rembrandt. Vivian will honor Pembroke with her pres- ence next year and the well wishes of the class go with her.

Rill started his career by lending his services to this lowly book as Art Editor, lie is also an ardent associate of Walter Camp and was a member of the 11)17 football team. “But has decided to attend Brown College, after which wo suppose he will tour the world and study under some great, painter. So wo all wish him and his dripping brush good luck. Crulce this s'um then shall conquer.” CHARLES HARRINGTON CAHILL “Ch arley” ‘‘Slow hut sure is the motto of Charles H„ known to the Senior class as our quiet- est member. “Charley7’ is indeed slow in speech, but not in accomplishments. Al- though he does not mingit» with a “hunch.'’ this youth is well-liked by many members of the class. Very often more than one fel- low is pleased when a teacher calls on Charles to recite towards the end of a period. Charley” is devoted to studying and for this reason we know that he will “get. some- where” in later life. Charles is planning to enter AI. T.
