THE DURFEE RECORD 21) TI IKK ESA DEAXE FIELDEX “ Deanic” Sincerity, good-nature, and sweetness are the constituent parts of “Deanie’s” personal- ity. Dwelling in that foreign kingdom ot South Swansea, “Deanie” can open many a city girl’s eye as she can be often seen show- ing her skill in the bay. performing difficult aquatic feats. ’Phis chubby individual claims autoing is her favorite pastime and gaily laughs at speed laws. She also delights in long tramps through the woods and fields, classifying the different herbs and flowers. “DeanieV' special ability is knitting; she is certainly doing her bit. May the host of inch attend you, Theresa, in your years at Fra minghani. “Better be first in a little Iberian villa ue than be second in Rome.” RALPH JOSEPH FLETOIIEU “Ratable” 'Flet eh Sh! Sh : Silence! Ralph is studying! And when he does study, which is almost all tlie time his favorite hobby, quiet must reign. And besides it is supposed that Ralph lias not whispered once since he has been in Durfee. Id-other Fletcher, too, is part Greek; he really talks it in his sleep because very often when lie is conversing a little Hellenic word jumps ont unawares. lie has not taken much interest in athletics while in school, but perhaps if a marble or a checker team were promoted Ralph J. would be there with bells on. For the next four years either Worcester or Baltimore will be his residence. We hope lie will keep up the good work. “F Hence is a virtue. L. CECIL FOG WELL Cere” “Cecc” must Imve misunderstood someone who called her that in her youth. What do we mean? Surely she must have thought the person said “(Vase talking,” for it is seldom if ever that we observe this fair maiden engaged in conversation. Neverthe- less. she is never unengaged for she applies herself diligently to her hooks and when not. busied intellectually she passes her time ad- vantageously in photography, canoeing, swim- ming or examining the intricacies of nature while on long rumblings in the woods, We fear, however, that she will have to relin- quish these pleasures upon her arrival at Tufts College next year, as tile life of a college is one continuous “cram.” “Fpeak not tchile in mit presence.

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. Bom in South Bend, Washington, he next stopped at Perry ville, Rhode Island, then at Berlin, New Hampshire, where he was graduated from grammar school with honors. After he had begun his high school career in Berlin lie decided that lie would enjoy much better the hall of fame, Durfee, and joined our ranks at the beginning of his Senior year. lie admits that, lie admires the movies but this pastime does not cause him to neglect his studies, for Lynn is what may be called a true student, excelling in mathematics. Next year he will continue his studies at Brown. f if a re do all thaf man beeome a man. Who (fares do more is wow ”
