24 THE DUKFEE RECORD J. WARREN CAMPBELL Hail to this young mathematician! 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”
