T HE I)UR F E E R E C ORD MARY PATRICIA GREELEY Puiiir Here we must pause and pay homage to 'Tatty,'7 a (iui t girl of the Normal Course, who came to ns from the William J. Wiley .School. Of a studious, retiring disposition she lias never associated herself with any of the school organizations, being wont to con- fine her efforts solely to her studies. In these she has made an enviable record. Mary rejoices in long hikes. This young lady will next fall, ship bag and baggage to Bridgewater, where she will prepare for a schoolmarru’s life. “fair he all thy hopes Aml prosperous he thy life. : 3 ELMER WALKEN GRENFELL “Hayp r “Sir Richard'' Next step is Durfee and not Warren I Such were Happy’s words four years ago.

THE DURFEE RECORD ' MAY VERONICA GONSALVES The William S. Greene School furnished us with a very able student when they direct- ed “Mae’s” footsteps toward Durfee High. Hiking is her hobby, yet she passes most, of her time away by reading anything from a dime novel to, well- -Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats. Her strongest forte, she claims, is mathematics: she can very ably step to the head of the class in this particular sub- ject. She has also shown some skill in Amer- ican History, Boston Kindergarten is to re- ceive this fair damsel’s knowledge, for she is certainly going to show them something when she gets there next fall. Afajj joy shine forth, each day, odd inf! fray ranee in your way. JAMES RAYMOND GORMAN Jim Jimmy The fact that ‘Jimmy ’ after graduating from the Lincoln Grammar School, decided to come to Durfee proves that he has a head on his shoulders and that he uses if some- times. “Jim,” being a quiet, and studious fellow, has not been in the ”lime-light” on the various school teams, but in the orches- tra lie has more than made up for it during the past four years. As yon can see by his picture. “Jimmy” is no weakling. Conse- quently lie wishes to do a strong man’s Job. This accounts for his plan to elite]’ Tufts next year where lie will he taught the essen- tials of pulling teeth. We hope that lie will cause less pain to his patients than his reci- tations give to his teachers. ‘7 at first you don't succeed, Pali, put! ayn.hr MILDKEI) EESKIXE GRAHAM M erf Mill ft' “Meg.” one of our most faithful classmates and best scholars, is a perfect lady at all times. Possessing a rather quiet and very pleasing nature, she has won the respect of her school associates. She has. revealed ex- ceptional abilities in “English,” arid we do not doubt that it is her favorite study. Does it not seem strange that “Millv” should de- vote her spare time in taking strolls with her dog? Upon reflecting, we know that it is because of her kind-heartedness, which is also inducing her to make her future work that of caring for children at a Uliildren’s Home. Her untiring patience is sufficient evidence that she will fill the position to perfection. A perfect iroinun, nobly planned. To a urn, to comfort, and command

34 THE D UKFEE RECORD WILUAM (GARDNER HAMPTON ‘7 ;« ’ Lo! ‘ Bud has always been one of our good-natured classmates. This Lincoln grad- uate, while at Durfee, has proved himself a very successful, pupil, especially in English. While in school “Bud is generally quiet, except when Cousin” is around. When out of school this wireless expert may he seen breaking Barney Oldfield’s records with his “Chinese Packard. Bud's” ambition is not to be a preacher (although he would make a good one) hut to build a Ford that doesn't rattle. In order to rival Henry Ford and Edison lie has decided to enter Wentworth, where be can reveal the value of the educa- tion received at Durfee. MARGA R ET HARRINOTON Pawn ►Stop! Look.’ Listen! This stately per- son is Miss Margaret, if you please. The ►Samuel Watson School sent Peggy” to us to give us an object lesson in ladylike behavior at all times. Being rather (pilot, reserved and studious, Peggy” ranks well in her classes. Her favorite study is Latin ; a dead language is not noisy you know, She is to become a nurse and we rather like the idea of her quiet and pleasing nature occupying itself thus. As part of her preparation she will attend the St. Francis Hospital. We trust she will have an unlimited number of patients. bS' ur men:!! in nobility’ Into haflyc MART EDITH IIAUT “J'J Alary came to us from the Davenport School, and since her arrival in 1P14 she has certainly made most of us take notice. She is a wonder the way she rattles off her les- sons each day and is always ready with an explanation in Room !). If any mark other than A” appeared on Mary’s card she would not be the only one who would he shocked. Alary’s ambition is to become a teacher of biology. We hope she will prove as much of a success with her teachers at Framingham next year as she lias with her teachers at i )urfee.
