Another reason for the impossibility is that Dora is never two minutes alike, and—well, she deserves the name of Dora, for does not that name mean being always jollyf She is a jolly, good-natured girl. “Miss BakstM intends to go to Miss Gibbs1 Secretarial School in Boston. Let's all wish her success, for she deserves it. As a private secretary Dora will go with flying colors for she is just the kind of girl that this work would appeal to. “ J-JV missed (her, like the leamnt thought.

Since she arrived at Durfee site lias furthered her learning1 by spending a great deal of tune in reading. But, dear friends, do not get the impression that Ethel always remains in the house, Your knowledge ol! her skill in out-door sports should quickly dismiss such a thought from your mini Is, Xext year Bos- ton University will be favored by this little lady of such a retiring disposition, and, though wo are at a loss to know what studies she is to pursue, yet, we all join in wishing her the best of success, “Prise that which is best in the Universe,'f luilu ti QL JXslitmtrtti, 3Jr. “BOB' “FAT” Crash!

D U R F E E R E C 0 R I) ■|31|ilnium IWbsley “NED” '‘RED Let us introduce .you to “Ned ’, who, graduating at the nge of thirteen from the William J. Wiley Grammar School, determined to go to Tech. But, fortunately, Tech was des- tilled to he deprived of this honor, for at the last moment he changed his mind—a tiling which is not uncommon to him—and entered Durfee. Here he was caught by the cur- rent of student life and whirled through its various stages. If any of his classmates fail to remember him lie will cer- tainly never he forgotten by his German teacher, Miss Locke, from whose class he was occasionally removed on account of his mischievous pranks. He holds the undis- puted championship for tardiness and has a large a,ml in- valuable collection of tardy slips. Whatever he attempts in future life we are sure his nerve and good luck will bring him through. tf 'Tis better late than never.” Hnlanfr 33arrettc Who’s that quiet, nice looking fellow over there? ThatJs Billy Tilden 's understudy. Bill came to us from the wilds of Canada, receiving his diploma at. the Montreal Seminary. Although one might think ‘ Bill was slow (in which one is very much mistaken) just watch him glide his feet over the shiny floor of a dance lnill and I think lie will change his opinion. He means to enter the College of Business Ad- ministration at Boston University in the near future; and wTe look forward to seeing ‘BI11'T firmly established in the world of success. ‘‘ The faith we have in his tennis JJ rulb tBehrick Loud alarums! Don't be so careless with that typewriter, Harold! Harold, who dropped in upon us from the Westall Grammar School, is some typewriter tickler, and. if it may be said, he manipulates a. wicked finger. During his twenty- fifth of a century with ns, he has been a very eager football, basketball, baseball and cadet drill fan, As a. swimmer, Harold is in a class by himself. During the long, drowsy afternoons of midsummer lie is invariably to be found splashing in the surf of Steep Brook. Harold leaves us to enter the business, world next June. Go to it, Harold, and make a name for yourself and the good old class of '21. f Business before pleasure—sometimes. 21
