This bulkiness together with his usual smile will always lie re mem hol ed by Ills fellow pupils. He is always elieerfnl and no matter how heavy and dark the day’s assignments may he, lie-always sees the end of the seventh period.

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
