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!”

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.

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.
