Coming from the Davis School, Minnie brought with her the same attributes that made her popular there. 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.

THE DURFEE RECORD 27 MARJORIE COOK “Marge” “Cookie” The curtain rises and “Cookie” enters, our Ace of “A’s.” “Marge’ came to us from the Highland School with a reputation of being an exceedingly good scholar, a friend to all, and, what’s more, a sport. 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. Surely she will l e most heartily received at Holyoke next year. “Knowledge, is power JAMES COUGIILIX Jim Cocky Lieutenant Janies, as Mr. Rope calls him, is some boy. Jim is second Lieu tenant in his company, and is well liked by all the cadets under him. lie entered Durfee four years ago from the Davenport School, and his noble (?) countenance may still be found wherever there is a crowd of the “boys.” Jimmie is a good basketball player, and had there been a team this year, lie would surely have had place. 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? Although liis future has not yet been decided, we wish li!in the best of luck in whatever he may do. One touch of hiuuhtcr make the -whole world spin. RUTII CLARKE COWELL Cut hie “Kutliie, one of our class musicians, came to us from Westall and has proved to be one of the most faithful, studious girls of her class. Ruth says her hobbies are swimming, rowing, dancing and playing the piano. Next year she will go to the Xew England Conserv- atory of Music, and in the future plans to be a pianist and singer.
