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.

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.

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.

She brought a splendid record with her from Westall, and has kept, the same standard through P . M. C. T). Moreover, she is a wonder at tennis, and excels in other outdoor sports. Beta” is another next year “Sinithite,” and she takes with her the best wishes of her class. Her laui hhty cheerfulness throws Bunt if hi on all the paths of life. LAXI 11 EAR BECK ‘7 junruf “Lanny” comes next in line, as bright as any gem; for we haven't spelled his name wrong, and used an m for “n,” Lanphear came from the Westall School, and for sev- eral years delighted our ears with the ex- quisite harmony of his violin. 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. Ri)uj out. irilri hells'
