Studying the same in college as in good old B. M.

One might think that “Sam’s uncle had left him a fortune, for he is always merry and jovial. Solid Geometry holds no fears for “Sammy,” and his marks will corroborate the fact. Basketball is one of his favorite games, as well as baseball. He also takes great delight in dancing. (Oh. you dance shark.) With his strong personality, good sportsmanship, and persevering ways, “Sain” can not help making a success at M. 1, T„ where he is going to study civil engineering. “One cun not help but like him, fn his peaceful, joyful icay.” DOROTl1Y 000(1 AX DWYER ol Dolly’ “Dot” needs no introduction to most of us. She is one of our most, attractive and host liked girls, and because of her happy smile and charming personality, she has acquired scores of friends and admirers. After gradu- ating from the William S. Greene School, she favored Burfee with her presence, enlisting with the Normal veterans of Did. “Dot” claims dancing as her pet. hobby, but we are all wondering with whom’;—as she surely ex- cels in fliis delightful pastime.

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”
