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!

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!”

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!”
