THE DU R FEE RECORD :io ANDREW IIAMBLY DAVIS “Andy” Andrew is one of those who left the halls of old Durfee to enter the business world and encounter its vicissitudes at an early age. (Joining from the Highland Grammar School, Andrew spent only two years at Dur- fee, hut lie always came to our drills and dances to keep alive old friendships. After having studied cotton in all its phases, at the Durfee Textile School, he accepted a position with a brokerage firm, where he now teaches his employers how to run the business. Al- though one may occasionally catch sight of him oil some business errand, his smiling countenance, now familiar to “brokers’ row,” is much missed up here at Durfee. “ 1 man among men” DOROTHY MASON DAVIS Dot'' (lick! click! click! That’s “Dot,” but is it typewriter or knitting needles? 'They and “Ede” are her constant companions. Four years ago “Dottle” came with the Westall freshies, and since then 1ms been the life of the Clericals and the fun of her class. Her specialties are dancing, writing notes, and smiling. This fall we shall find her iri checks and cap at Truesdale’s Hospital. We don’t need to wish you success there. “Dot,” for it will surely come without the asking. Laugh, and let laugh” IRENE LOUISE DAVIS Irene comes from Assonet, but we’ll for- give her for that, as we know nothing else against her except her extreme fondness for the movies in the P. M. Studies never bother Irene, and we have reasons to believe that all her afternoons and evenings aren’t spent in the companionship of her books. When we all learn that Irene is to become a nurse, the popular cry will be “I don’t want to get well!” Noted for her “bonc- riimners” and her giggle. “Our Irene is the village queen.”
