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.

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.”

THE D U K FEE RECORD r OUVI-: LILLIAN DRFGUOKX 0 Hie” “ J) veggie” Be quiet. I tend lower, while I whisper —this is Olive. No delicious morsel of fictitious composition could hotter picture u heroine of rare accomplishments than this demure maid of eighteen. For the rudiments of genius that McDonough School instilled in her have de- veloped surprisingly by her training at Dur- foe. In the near future “Ollie” will make her debut and then her sweet voice will ring from ocean to ocean, while Alina Gluck together with her retinue will vanish. The graduation program will testify to the quality of her scholarship, and in a few years someone else will do as much for her domestic achieve- ments. In view of this home-making ten- dency and sweet sympathetic nature, there is no doubt as to her unqualified success as a nurse. Devotion borrow Music's tone. And ilfunic, took Devotion h whiff; And. like ihc bird that hail the sun, Then soar to heaven, and soaring, sing.'’ GFORGE FRANCIS DRISCOLL George graduated from the N. B. Borden School and then came to Durfee. where lie has established an enviable record. There caret he any monotony when he is around, for George has a line of talk that makes you sit up and take notice. As vice president of the Forum, he showed what he could do. He was so lively and full of tact that the mem- bers all wanted another meeting the next night. George was a valuable addition to tlie Rkcord Book Staff. Next year he intends to go to Columbia, where he is to prepare for a course in law. We wish you luck, old pal. ' er uasion tigs his longue whene'er he speaks” T LLJ AM 11 LNRY DR I SCOLL “mur With the reputation of being a pleasant and quiet lad, “BiD came to us from the Susan H. Wixon School. lie is one of those good matured persons who take things as they come, and everything seems to come in his direction. “Hill’s” tranquility does not pre- vent his being averse to a bit of excitement or a joke now and then. He lias developed a particular interest in history and mathemat- ics. “Rill” claims baseball and dancing as his pet hobbies, and he certainly can glide gracefully o'er the floor. As a member of the Forum he took especial interest, and had there been a few others of his spirit, the society would have been more prosperous than ever. “Rill” has not yet framed his plans for next year, but he will undoubtedly distinguish himself in whatever lie undertakes. “lilesf with health and peace and sweet content”
