The recollec- tion and relation of them, then afford him a far greater pleasure than he. had imagined during (hose youthful days that passed all too quickly; and which are to him like the memory of a rose, faded long since, but whose fragrance still lingers. Ho it will be wiih ns. How often during the future years shall we recall the friendships, the delights, the kind- ness of those four years we spent at Dnrfee! Mow we went to school every morning, some to Tech and some to Dnrfee for three years, and how, in the fourth, when Dnrfee became the home of the upper-classmen, the two sections of the class were brought into close association! It was then that we all climbed the hill, entering this same door, just as we shall now, meeting and greeting, as we come up the stairs, the same old friends each day ! It is (he purpose of this volume to recall pictures of those happy student days; and if it can, when years have passed, bring back the old Dnrfee spirit, and enhance the friendships of former classmates, the mission of the Kkcoud Staff in preparing it will have been accomplished. Let us now open the door to the past, and may memory often bring us, during the future, back to that old building for many happy reunions. THE DURFEE RECORD u; MARGARET PLAM'IIE ALBERT Hey ! (' ! UU First, we will present to you “Peg,” a grad- uatc from the Susan H. Wixon. “Peggy” says her hobbies are dancing, swimming and having a good time in general.—hut not studying. However, since Margaret joined our class, she has become particularly noted for her wonderful dances and her ability to rag the scale for .jazzing. “Maggie thinks of going to Sargent's next year, and in the future plans to teach physical culture. But whatever she does, we are sure she will make hosts of friends. “Happy am I : from cere I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me MARY LOUISA ALDRICH “ Weed a Louisa came from AVestall, and her illus- trious history is full of shining marks. Take the rest of us. she is serious at times, and ready for fun at others. It. is not alone in the classroom that “Weeda excels, for when it. conies to swimming, playing golf and ten- nis. or sailing a boat, she does them all with equal grace and ease. Her help on the Record staff has been indispensable. Next year we expect to hear that. Louisa is conquering some new field at Smith. Her tray a arc way of pteasantnemi, And all her paths arc peace:1 PAULINE A NTHONY Holly ‘‘Pauline? Who is Pauline? If we say Polly. perhaps you will recognize this young lady from the Tiverton Grammar. In spite of all the trials she has undergone on the “Famous Bay State” from Newport, she has managed to be cheerful and happy. Paul- ine is very fond of all outdoor sports, rather undecided about the future, hut we hope to hear of her prosperity! ‘UMay lion live all the days of your life” THE OURFEE RECORD 17 It FT 11 (.'GODWIN ANTHONY “Hath V' ‘ l nthoni ’' And now oomos another W entail graduate, “Rut.li A,” one of tin? most popular and clever girls of her class-. Ruth is not only a delight to her friends, for whom she is always plan- ning some fun, hut is also a pleasure to her teachers, as she is one of our highest “A.” pupils. ‘Anthony's” hobbies are reading, sailing and golf—hut she is especially good at tennis and swimming. For the first throe years Ruth played first violin in the Durfee Club, and next year we expect her to head the Freshman Musical Club tit Vassar. ‘M.v man'll as the day is lotiy” ETHER HEY WOOD ARDEN “Yes. Doctor, he is better today.” Enter Ethel, from the Davenport Grammar School to Tech—Ethel likes to cook and can really do itl She leaves us for the Massachusetts General Training School to be a nurse. Now in four years’ time on bearing of her gradu- ation from that institution don’t all get sick at once, because she can only attend to one at a time. Good luck to “Durfee’s Florence Nightingale.’’ “77 ere ia majesty in simidiaity that is far above Iha ijnaintnass of it” % BETSEY 1 EAN E BAR HER Bass ’ “ B assia” Allow us to introduce to you, reader, this dear girl. We are indebted to the Lincoln School for sending us this prize, and very lovingly have wo guarded it here at Durfee, For our trials find troubles we have ever found lmlm in (lie wholesome advice and friendly sympathy that only a girl of “Bes- sie’s disposition could give. “Bessie’- lias been very popular while here at Durfee for the pleasure she has given with her musical performances. Like many a famous actress, she lias danced her way into our hearts, there to remain. We know, Betsey, that yon will succeed at. Bridgewater, for who could help it, when with one voice your friends shout, “Betsey Barker, we wish you luck.” “ I 'ary Good, Bassia‘’ I THE DURFEE RECORD IS RAYMOND TALLMAX BARKER Honor (Jo not turn his head “Ray” came to us in 1015, a graduate of the Lincoln Oranuuar School. As an athlete he lias won wide renown, his chief hobby being high jumping, of which Jie is champion of Southern .Massachusetts. Always ready to help a friend, and always “there” with a smile, ‘“Ray” is one of the most popular boys in the school, Although he has not decided what lie will do after graduation, knowing his conscientiousness and perseverance in duty, we have no fear as to his future. PAUL OSCAR BARRE Harrie Coming from the Assumption College of Worcester, Raul spent three years at Tech, and a fourth at Durfoe. He is a quiet mem- ber of the class: yet he lias become friendly with a great many of his classmates. His hobbies arc autoiug, skating and boating, in each of which lie is quite prolicient, lie is considering some business school for next year, but whatever he attempts after leaving Durfee. we are sure be will succeed. “Good thintjs to think about (in: litouyhts of home” WILLIAM HAROLD BARRY ‘• R r When old 'HHV Han't lets his feet f o sallik Hound about and in and out. a maze, Hren one turns to look, iromtvrinf if. hi am) fluke Jlc'tl fail to ft at them taunted, or ablaze. “Bill” gets jollied about, those feet consid- erably, but how we wish we had them! If it weren’t for them, Durfee would have been minus one of her best football and baseball players. And as for dancing! Natural abil- ity. some day. Others, feet; We agree with noth, for the combination makes perhaps the best male dancer at our drills and dances, As for his scholastic career.—about four years ago “Bill” glided down Imre from the Highland School, and he labored diligently for almost four years. Borne time last winter, however, “Bill” quietly vanished into the realm of commerce and manufacture, where he is getting a start, ahead of those fellows who will take up that line next year, And he can siun like he can dance!” MARGARET L)0VHR BARTON “II arty” When “Barty” came to D nr foe from the Jr owl or School she was ms inconspicuous as the rest of us; but when she graduates this year, she will leave behind her heaps of friends, who will always think of her as full of fun. thoughtful and, yes, studious. Mar- garet is fond of swimming, skating and ten- nis, but above all else she loves music. Next year “Barty” plans to go to Bridgewater to study kindergarten, but whatever she does she will cany with her the best wishes of her classmates. “A merry heart maketh a cheerful coun- tenance” THE DURFEE RECORD 19 CHARLES GIFFORD BERT E N SI 1 AW “Charley” “Charley” graduated from the Highland Grammar School and wended his way to our portals of learning. Charles is a very quiet member of our class, but has gained many friends during his period here, lie is unde- cided what his next step in life shall be, hut we are sure that wherever lie goes he will make good. “He posse his hours among his hooks'’ LUCIA BUSS Lie’ Mix sy” What shall we say about “Blissy”? We asked her, and she said, “Oil, anything, only leave me alive.” Certainly “Ln” is no “dead one.” She was e’er a bright, spot about Durfee High, and has the enviable distinction of having few, if any. enemies. She declares that dancing is her specialty, hut we notice she is also game for any other sport. Next year Wheaton will be her Alma Mater, where we all wish her the best of success, “Not that she loved study less. But that she loved f un more!” 20 THE DURFEE RECORD HELEN TERESA BOHAN We are indeed grateful to the Highland School for sending Helen into our midst. She is noted for her smiles and sunny dis- position. Helen is always ready for a good time, and is the cause of much merriment for us all. Outdoor sports lmve a great attrac- tion for her. especially skating. Helen claims to be a man-hater, but we hardly think she lives up to the part. Drawing seems to he a gift of Helen’s, and some day we hope to hear of her as a famous artist. “ S7 c in no piny and yet she's clever. And an for fun you'll heat her never'’ EDWARD ELLSWORTH BOOTH hUl” 'tidtlhr Eddie is a Quiet, good-natured person, but nevertheless has lots of pepf lie graduated from the N. B. Borden School before coining to Durfee. In the track meet at Boston last spring Ed showed some of Boston's crack athletes how to broad-jump and incidentally was one of Dnrfee’s two point winners. Fid- die is also quite a swimmer, while tennis is another sport which lias great charms for him. What school will claim him next year Eddie has not yet decided, hut we may be sure lie will he welcomed wherever he may go. DONALD DEBFEE BORDEN “Don Don, who is a graduate of the Westall School, began his high school career at Tech, but was transferred with the rest of his class to Durfee in his senior year. During his sophomore and junior years Don was the leader of the Tech orchestra. He. is not only an excellent violin player, but a great favor- ite among his fellow classmates. Ilis spare time is spent studying or attending the the- ater. As yet he is undecided as to his future, but we are sure he will he successful in anything he undertakes. vl good name will shine forever Aothiny is impossible t a strong will” THE DURFEE RECORD 21 : VEGA BRAXZELL “T7e” “Veda” Vega, bettor knowu to her classmates as: “Ye” or •‘Veda came to us from the Wil- liam J. Wiley School to enlist in our Normal course. Dancing and swimming are “YeV’ favorite hobbies. Because of her notable swimming and diving feats she has won the title of Annette KeJlerman II. When Ye leaves Dnrfee's spacious balls she will take up a business course to prepare herself to be a stenographer. V) swim .1 swim! Mi kinqdom for a swim! Cl IR1STOPITER LEO BRODERICK Chris llrotljf Hush! do not disturb the tranquility about this young man. one of our quietest members. “Chris” came to us from St. Patrick’s School, and lias gained many friends because of his quiet, mannerly ways. During his course he has proven himself specialized in all branches of study. Li history especially he has shown that he is a proficient lad. and many times has he startled the members of the class with his brilliant, recitations. Outside of school hours '‘.Brody ’ is one of Iludner’s first class meat-cutters, and we feel that this circum- stance wlil turn Christopher to the School of Surgery. But whatever his intentions may he, we all wish him the host of luck when he undertakes life’s important tasks. (’ 1 jA R A A LI CE B ROM LEY Clare “Clare” came to us from the Susan II. Wixon School, Although she says music is her hobby, we think she likes studying pretty well, for there isn’t ever a question asked in class that Clara isn't ready to answer. Like all the rest of the clerical division, Clara in- tends to become one of the private secre- taries who will make the name of Durfee famous in the world of business. Good luck to you. Clara.

But now he plays a different tune, announcing his arrival every morning with an inharmonious clang. Would that his efforts in this case were as welcome as in baseball, tennis and hockey. In these lines, as well as in many other sports, lie is very skillful; and next year, when he enters Exeter preparing for Wil- liams College, we will surely hoar from him.

Al- though he is one of Mr. Pope’s stars, we often hear of his ability in Miss Locke's class, which would still be greater if lie did not spend so much time talking with the pretty girls. Warren graduated with much credit from the N. B. Borden School and then showed his good judgment by coming to Dur- fee. I-Iis hobbies are swimming and shows, and in the former he is a regular shark. This ambitious young man intends to become a civil engineer, and the best wishes of the class go with him to Carnegie next year. 'Portia men are born (front, others am mathematicians CORDON CAPEX ''Hilent but tri'se Cordon came to us from the Susan A. Wixon School, a very quiet and unassuming lad. However, during his four years' sojourn here, he has proven that a policy of “saying little, listening much, brings about knowing a lot is a very good policy, as his rating will show. As a result of his faithfulness to study and to the High School Cadets, of which he was a member for four years, he was made captain of Co. B of the cadets in his senior yea r. If yon continue to he governed by the same qualities, Gordon, we shall not he worried over your future. ELIZABETH CARR 'JAM)) Here is “Libby,” the only “Libby” Durfee contains. And everybody admits her a good sport and lots of fun. She is an enthusi- astic horsewoman and has become a familiar object in her riding suit. Next year she is going to Miss Howe and Miss Marot’s school. We feel sure that she will keep the school awake, as she is never quiet for long at a time. She is accustomed to lookiug on the bright side of life, and as a result makes a good companion. ‘vl girl iritli eager ei es awl i effou; hair” THE DURFEE RECORD EARLE CHASE “Parson” “Ugh tning Earle graduated from the Fowler School in 101 o and entered rreeh the following fall. He was transferred with his classmates to Durfee for liis senior year. Earle's hobby is tinkering around automobiles, and many of his spare moments are spent drawing designs of racers. He is also something of a sports- man, being a member of the “Rod and Oun Club of Fall River. Earle plans to enter the Boston Auto ►School next fall, where he will study automobile drafting. He has our wishes for a successful career. “ir jcre there f a will there is a tray” M1X XIE C11A A' F X S O X Enter Minnie, one of our jolliest girls.

Her bright and cheerful smile is never forgotten, and even helps some when we are struggling with a problem in Geometry. Minnie is particularly interested in skating and tennis or perhaps—■ a recitation in French. Her ambition is cen- tered in teaching, and she hopes to enter Wellesley next fall, where we wish her the best of luck. “(Jain not base gains; then are the same as Josses'7 MARGARET ELIZABETH C11EETHAM Peggy We almost lost, our ’‘Leggy- this fall when she started in school at Classical High in Providence, but the charms of Durfee proved too strong for her, and hack here she came about four months ago.

We have found her all this and much more besides. “Cookie” is especially fond of tennis, skating, dancing and hiking—hut is, in fact, good at all sports. This year she lias especially proved her lit- erary ability on the Recokd 3-look JStaff.

However, he especially shines in baseball, holding down second base in hue style, and who of the nine will forget his jollity and impromptu entertainments on the trains, when we made trips?

George was very popular with both Tech boys and girls, lie took part in a few debates of the Rostrum, where he demonstrated his ability to stand up for his rights. In the fall of 1018 lie was transferred with the other Tech seniors to Durfee. His hobbles are swimming, hunting and “tinkering” with the wireless.

GEORGE DALEY Here he is. the hoy who made Assonet, fa- mous! He is a graduate of the Borden School and has made a splendid record in high school. His hobbies are dancing, swimming and canoeing. Who can imagine a drill with- out- George's smiling countenance and dancing ability? He is the proud exhibitor of two medals which were presented to him for be- ing the victor in swimming meets.

And so on down through the list of hard games arranged by Manager Milton Sunder- land. Durfee, surmounting the obstacles caused by influ- enza restrictions, fought her way to success, falling only before the heavy Haverhill outfit and Fairliaven. In the latter game, since Durfee was to play her closest rival, Xew Bedford, two days following, many scrubs were used, so that the real power of our Fall River team was not shown against them. The worst defeat handed any team was when she swamped English High, bb-O, in the Providence team's first appearance on a local field. Both games with Xew Bedford, Durfee’s traditional en- emy in sports, ended in ties. The first game, played in Xew Bedford on Xovember 9th, had excited much interest in both cities, as both teams were evenly matched as to size and weight. The hotly fought battle on Sargent Field ended in a 0-G tie. The second of the two games, played in Fall River on Thanksgiving Day, was the best of the season. Be- fore a capacity crowul, and urged on by large cl leer- ing sections, both teams fought hard to win the game, which resulted in a RM3 tie. Eddie and Frank O’Brien each crossed Xew Bedford's line once, while Seniansky was the only scorer for Xew Bedford. Tillson, the exceptional quarter, did great work for Durfee; Crof- torrs end runs and line plunges were at all times of the best ; and Barry’s kick-offs and punts were splendidly executed. The only other important game of the season was on Peace Day, Xovember 11th, when, cheered on by a large band of students, Durfee defeated Providence Tech, afterwards cham- pions of the Rhode Island League. Xeither team was able to cross the opponent’s goal line, the only score being made by Spyros’ field goal. BUSEBZILL Owing to pool’ went lier Iliis spring. tlu� baseball squad was a little later than usual in beginning; practice. Nevertheless, with five letter men,— Lil'rak, Partington, Buck. Spyros and Van Blarcom,—and a squad of thirty. Coach Foley has produced another nine worthy to represent Durfee. Manager Sunderland has arranged an exceptionally good schedule with a number of fast high school teams, in addition to those of the Bristol County League. The team seemed unable to gain its stride until three games were lost, two of which were league games. Attleboro, in the first game of the season, beat us 5-1 ; then New Bedford, 8-5 in a ten-inning struggle on Alumni Field ; and Holy Family 4-5 in a prolonged contest of twelve innings. Then sud- denly the team began to play real baseball. Now Bedford was defeated on their home grounds by a score of 5-1 ; and Attleboro to the tone of (M, our team getting thirteen hits in six innings, when the game was called on account of rain. As True Record goes to press, the two Taunton games loom up, the two games which last year cost us the championship of the league. But our team has found itself, and Taunton will have to play real baseball to have even a look-in. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Saturday. .Hay 10—Taunton at home. Wednesday. May 14—Taunton at Taunton. Saturday, May 17—Xew Hertford Textile at home. Tuesday. May ‘20—St. Mary’s at home, Wednesday, May 2S—Past Greenwich at home. Saturday. May 31—Xew Hertford Textile at New Hertford. Wednesday. June 1—North Attleboro at North Attleboro. Wednesday, .June 11—Holy Family at home. Saturday, dune 14—St. Mary’s at Taunton. Saturday, June 21—North Attleboro at home. 1918-19 (UDET OFFICERS CADETS Soon after the opening of the school year, the Cadets began their weekly drills. The call went out for new men to replace those who, for various reasons, had left the or- ganization. A large number responded, boosting the roster to over 150 men, which equals the record set last year for the greatest number of cadets since its organization. Then followed several weeks of preliminary drilling, shaking out the awkwardness of the rookies, and setting up in all the feeling of discipline and alertness in carrying out orders, which is so necessary to any military organization. The following commissioned officers were then appointed: Major Merril Hawkins Adjutant Milton I). Sanford Supply Officer Idonei H. Legare Com pu n}! A Captain Harold J. Pilling Hirst Lieut. A. Frank Fyans Second I dent. James F. Couglilin Compaup B Captain Gordon C. Capen First Lieut. James II. Callahan Second Lieut. Joseph F. Medeiros It did not take long for these officers to become fully ac- quainted with their duties. Immediately the companies were organized and work started in dead earnest. lOverv Mon- day and Wednesday afternoon, for an hour, the State Armory became the scene of the busiest, activities—the tramp of feet, the shouts of officers, and thud of rifle butts re-echoed through the big drill she,—while each week the squad and company movements became more exact, and under the efficient leadership of the officers and Major Harrison the snap and precision of execution of com- mands became more and more marked. On December 27, the first prize drill was held, in which all cadets of one or more years’ standing participated. The success of this drill exceeded the hopes of the most opti- mistic, while the attendance at the two following drills as- sured a most prosperous year, as well as an instructive one. On April 25, the Batallion Drill and Ball was held, which proved to be a fine exhibition of the season’s training as well as the greatest social event of the Cadet year. This Drill was the climax of the year’s work, although the Freshman drill was held May 2-‘ . At the close of school the annual camp will be held at Oak Bluffs, which, as in previous years, is sure to be the finest kind of an outing for all who attend. OKCJ1RKTUAL CJJ B The Durfcc Orchestral Club, under the competent leader- ship of Mr. Titcomb, had a most successful season this year. To be sure, it was not without hard work, for the Club re- hearsed every Friday7 afternoon in the auditorium: and each member exerted himself in order that his Club might lead all the others. On April 1.1th, the ability of all was put to the test, for it was then that their annual public concert was held. As- sisted by the Brown University Male Quartet, they ably played a program of difficult compositions. The large crowd, which was due to the efforts of the members in selling tickets, left the building well pleased. The Orchestra was utilized very often, as it played at general assemblies and for charitable organizations. Mr. Titcomb may well be proud of the Childs achievements. Following is the personnel of the Orchestra : Violins Joseph Dubitsky Cecilc Forest Jeannette Plante Edith Johnson John Lord Morrill Pa del ford Myer Goldberg George Rudd Clarence Ley land Cha rlos Soforenko Abra ham Drietzer Louis Pebowskv William Biltcliffe Margaret Stockman Mary Doran Arthur Sachs Charles Cowell Richard Cowell Viola Helen Louis Hasses Helen Titcomb Estelle Robinson Flute Robert Healy Clarinets Henry Wade Edward Booth Abbott Larter Cornets George Rigby James Lord William Sherman Deborah Healy H 07 ns Betsy Barker Mabel Allinson Tram bone Edward Whalen Harold Swindells Fiona Pearl Radovsky Or { an Robert McMillan Drums Waverly Root Saxophone Raymond Barker DEBATING T1CAM During' the early part of the school year, the Forum began its successful season under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Racine, head of the Modern Language Department, It lias afforded the students much satisfaction that, though the debating season was very short, the Forum was busily engaged preparing debates for the team composed of Charles Soformko, cap tan; Lionel Legare, and Joseph Kovalsky, with Mver Goldberg as alternate. Unfortunately, on ac- count of the influenza epidemic, they were prevented from holding a debate with New Bedford, who were defeated by Durfee last. year. The only debate held during the season was with Taunton High School, with the subject, .Resolved : That Immigration should be Restricted during the Period of Reconstruction. After a hotly contested debate, it required an hour’s deliber- ation on the part of the judges before awarding the decision, which was given to Taunton, on the negative side.

Of two evils, choose the prettier. Make love while the moon shines. Nonsense makes the heart grow fonder. If every dog has his day, every cat lias his night. Take care of the studies and the marks will take care of themselves. The more haste, the less read. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, when the report cards come in. Circumstances alter cases, just as low marks make long fa ces. A little invention is good for a lot of excuses. Too many D's spoil the report card. Absence makes the work pile higher.

One concealed certain Facts prejudicial to his Cause; upon which the Principal said : “If you liad confessed the Truth, it would have biased me in your Favor; as it is, i centence you to two Mornings at 7.45.” The other stated his Case with absolute Truth and Sin- cerity, concealing Nothing; and the .Result was that he received the same Punishment for his Misdemeanor.
