28 THE DURFEE RECORD DAVID MAXWELL FELDMAN Dave” Davy” K(‘leased from the Davis School, after sev- eral years of torture Davy heard the call of the wild and wended his way to Durfee. For four years he has weathered the .train, and now Dave stands forth as one of the foremost members of our class. To name all the offices that our popular friend has held at Durfee would require too much space, hut we must mention his successful administra- tion of the office of President of the Forum and his remarkable work as Fditor-in-Clnef in making this Record Book the success that it is. As Dave intends to become a law- yer we expect to see him, some day, prose- cuting the government's cases as district at- torney in the same forceful and vigorous way in which lie, as politician, helped lo mold the destinies of the (...'lass of IMIS. Next year will see Dave wearing a little brown skull cap. “Hail fo flic (Hdilor-ht) -Chief! MARGARET VERONICA FANNING Not very long ago Peggy, a quiet and modest girl, came to our halls of knowledge after she had completed the course of in- struction in the Highland Grammar School. Peggy has gained many friends during her stay at Durfee. She is well liked by all those who are acquainted with her, especially the co-workers in the Forum. Here she shows that she has a voice in all matters for she is always seen arguing a question that has been brought, up very vigorously. Although Peggy lias not confided to our editor where she intends to go next year yet we are sure that she will [trove successful in her next undertaking. Now, kind readers, some day you will sit up and take notice when our young maiden becomes a Senator from our own State. 77 o«. hast a sfnni heart anil slromj hamis; Than cnn.si sup fill ihy wants.” LYNN BELfTIEK FELLOWS ‘■Babe” Babe is one of the latest arrivals in our class.
