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

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.

D U R F E E RECO RD J§ahie l uth Heeler “SBLMA” “SADE” Here is good-natured Selma, always ready for a good time. Although happy-go ducky, site is liked by all who know Iter. Sadie is a good worker and always manages to be t .lassed with the liAn pupils. Selina intends to become a Journalist, so Columbia University will be honored with her presence nest year. She says playing tennis is her hobby, while dancing is her pastime. “The Peaceful are the Strong.“ 3!rctte (6mmtttte Hermtrb “SNOOKUMS” Irene is another lovely girl. As she is a curly-head, nat- urally one knows she must be jolly; and she really is, for her smile is worth looking for. Besides all this, she has a great amount of brains. Added to her other qualities it makes a good combination. Her intention is to be a good stenographer and if she keeps up with Iter good work she will succeed. Irene is one of the best natured girls of the Class of J2!. She is- also one of the greatest athletes among, the girls and is seen quite often' at some out-door sport. Sometimes she is seen doing indoor sports and she is good at both. k Or thou art fairer than the evening air, Clad in the beauty of a thousand fit are. ’ W C r Mtiliam Illutior Hiltrliffe “BILL” Here is a boy who will long be remembered for his witty remarks and general good-nature. Ever since he graduated from the Susan H. Wixon school, he lias made the most of his opportunities, both for acquiring knowledge and for having fun. ‘ Bill ’! is quite fond of music, especially fiddling and whistling. When 1 Bill ’ ’ begins to whistle, everyone usually stops to listen. Besides all this Bill is a lover of dancing, as is proved by his regular attendance at all of the school dances. As he is very much inter rested in electricity, his future plans will probably be in that work. 25
