She has a wealth of nicknames, such as “Lon1’, 11 Brightv’ and ‘4 Bill”. Her hobby is coasting, which everybody must admit is a particularly enjoyable sport. In her younger days, she at- tended the Dighton Grammar School. Then ‘ Lou ’' spent one year at Taunton High. Her amiable character will be housed at the Framingham Normal School next year. Anti wo hope her power of inventing ways of enjoyment, will never decrease. “Education, when it works on a noble mind, draws on I to view every virtue and perfection.11 20
