D XI K F E E RE C 0 R I) Bribie IRita • BRIDE ‘1 Bride' after securing her diploma from the St, Mary’s School, sought the ha 11« of learning of Tech and Durfee. During her four years at High School she has been one of the most popular and attractive students in the (Com- mercial division, and is undoubtedly the beauty of that group. She certainly can dance, and is just “it” in imita- tive dancing. “Bride” has not yet decided what school she will later attend. ‘'She’s all my fancy painted her, 'She's lovely, she's divine.1' (Charles Bnlub “CHARLIE Zip—and in a cloud of dust “Charlie” is off for Providence, Providence, did you say1? Although the “Whal big City” claims to be Charlie's birthplace, his thoughts seem to dwell upon Providence. Perhaps it is because he in tends to enter Brown next year. Who knows! Wherever he goes his presence will not remain tong obscure for Charlie is anything lnit quiet. Tu his sophomore year he made the debating team and in his senior year he was elected president of the Porum. Motoring and reading are his hobbies, while musical comedies would sadly miss his approving presence. Whether it bo recess or math, recita- tion Charlie is “tight in the swim” and who knows but wlmt, if talking makes a great statesman, there may some day be a Senator Dowd'? 1 ■ Hr deserveth all ]te hnlh received,” HJairire jljrrmrli Potimru Here is “Jan” who came to us from the Highland School. Although she started in High School in the Norma! Course, other courses offered more interesting studios, so Janice decided to become a “Special”. “Jail’s” hobby is dancing: nobody disputes that fact, for she is always pres- ent at the drills. “Jjjii” also plays the piano remarkably well. Next year she will take a post graduate course at Durfee. “ It '.V’ the songs she sings and Ha smiles she u tus 7'hot make the sunshine, everywhere,” 31

George claims wireless as his hobby and upon looking into tiie matter we find that, lie is a pretty clever operator. In the future we expect to hear of his inventing some new style of wireless which will astound the world. Helen Palnette Bnbgc DIDGJT “ DODGIE' Ppon graduating from the Westall 1 ‘Dodgic ’ enlisted with the rest of us for four years at Durfee, which she has divided between work and play. Her hobby is athletics, slie tells us, but we all guessed this fact as “Podgie” is one of the stars of the seventh period Physical Culture class on Wedne'ilays. In Spanish ami at story-telling she is especially good, aud no gathering is complete without her. Always ready for a good time, ‘ ‘ Podgie is one of our most popular, fuu-loviug girls. Next year she will enter Dr. Sar- gent's Physical Culture School so that her hobby may be- come her work. We know she will succeed.

Perhaps he can still remember the days when he learned how to spell all sorts of big words at the Westall School. “Charlie” is a baseball enthusiast. Most Does are baseball players, and our friend is keeping up the reputation of his name. “John” is go- ing to continue the study of drafting with the American Locomotive Company of Schenectady, New York, so we won't be surprised to hear of him as an extremely good draftsman. Anyway, he will be a man of strong personal- ity and sound principle. , “Blissed is the man who experts much, for he will not be disappointcd. ' 30
