For three years she took the college course, mastering all her subjects. Then she decider] to try the Secretarial Course and during her senior year she lms diligently manipulated a typewriter, She is one of our very quietest girls but none the less liked for we all enjoy “It1:1 ’s pleasant company and value her thoughtful opinions. When “Bee” starts to talk we all sit up and take notice, for we know it will be interesting and valuable.

In fact, it is precisely the adjective to use in describing Her. To be siiiv, she is always prerent at Music Hall when the cadets hold their drills, for her hobby is dancing. “May” came to Dnrfee from St. Joseph 8 School and from Din-fee she is going to Bridgewater.

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

She is a blonde with slender form that makes von think of a willowy reed in a breeze. It is re- markable how such a small head can hold so much. She is a graduate of the William S. Greene School, where she first learned to indulge in day dreams in class and take an optimistic view of life. But we must say that Jess can dn a lot of other things besides day dreaming, for she is an excellent artist, its you may see by her sketches adorning this Record Book, “She is tall and slender and divinely fair.
