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.”

After attending Tech for three years lie was transferred to Durfee. Whenever you happen to see “T. D,” you will also see the latest copy of some scienti tic magazine. He is especially interested in electricity and motion picture projection, and intends to so to the Milwaukee School of Engineering next fall to study electrical engineering. GEORGE DALEY Here he is. the hoy who made Assonet, fa- mous! He is a graduate of the Borden School and has made a splendid record in high school. His hobbies are dancing, swimming and canoeing. Who can imagine a drill with- out- George's smiling countenance and dancing ability? He is the proud exhibitor of two medals which were presented to him for be- ing the victor in swimming meets. This young man plans to honor M. L T, next year with his presence. uOn with the dance'’ lU’TlI DALLAGHER Ruth entered DurfeeV wide portals one sunny September morning four years ago. Her happy disposition has attracted a large number of friends to her. Canoeing and walk- ing are Ruth's favorite pastimes. As Ruth is terribly undecided about the future, she will toss up to see whether stenography or nurs- ing will be her future vocation. “Great fife if itou don't weaken” “Labor conquer. everi thini

THE DURFEE RECORD i i A 0- . 1 I % B ’ w EDXA URSULA DULL 11 AXTV fid die ' fid” “Eel ’ who carne to Durfee from the Davis School, is one of our girls always happy and never worrying about the seriousness of life, thus gaining a host of friends with whom she is a favorite. Although “Ed” would much rather spend an evening at. a drill, where she is always noticed with her clever dancing, sin- is the delight of all her teachers, for she can always he counted upon to answer a question when others fail. Good nature is one of “Ed’s” characteristics, which is always shown in her willingness to help others. Although we shall miss “Ed” next year, we know noth- ing but success can await her at Wellesley. “Aothinfj is impossible to a wit-liny heart'1 JAMES DEL RIG Jim Here wo have “Jim” Derrig, a graduate of St. Patrick’s School. “Jim” has been a rather quiet lad during his course at Durfee, but that did not prevent him from being a bril- liant scholar. “Jim” shines in French, and when he commences to “parlez-vous” there is no end to his speech. “Jim” does not state his intentions for the future, hut we feel that because he is twice as good a Greek scholar as he is a French, lie will either open a peanut, stand or sail to Greece and join in some excavation, uproot some of the old pre- historic works of art, and make his name famous in the history of the ancients. Good nature is one of the richest fruits of pleasant ness GLADYS ELIZABETH DOE “Glad” In on the New York boat, one bright morn- ing came “Glad,” She then hurried up to the Westall Grammar School and thence to Tech, 'l'liis winsome young lady is something of an artist, and in her third year made an attractive cover for the Tech Quarterly (that is the one we saved). Xow Gladys intends to dance through the summer and perhaps Sargent’s in Boston in the fall. Most likely Mrs. lndlekofer will have an assistant! “Romances are not in life—then are in books.
