To the kindly teachers who have coached this comedy is due whatever applause you may accord us; and if by chance, we play our parts amiss, the fault lies with us alone. For four years we have woven the plot of this, our play, and now we lay it before you that it may amuse you for one brief hour. Take it then; and if you find in it aught of mirth or pleasure, count it as a gift from the ('lass of ’22. And now the orchestra swings into the opening chorus; the curtain slowly rises , . .

KIRBY Secretary HELEN CRAPO Faculty Treasurer RALPH M. SMALL © DVIRFEE 0 EDNA EILLEEN ABBOTT “Eddie” One must know Eddie well to appreciate her fully. But, although she is not the sensational type, her sweet personality and pleasing appearance make one like her at first sight. For this she has gained a great reputation in the eyes of her classmates. Edna is a lover of books and enjoys reading the great masterpieces for she appreciates their qual- ities with an admirable understanding. Without hesitation we can say that Edna will become a prom- inent figure in her chosen profession. With her con- geniality and her beaming good nature how could anything but the best good fortune befall her? EVA MARIE ABBOTT W Eve is a regular optimist—one of those people who will never look on the dark side of life and are always wearing a cheerful expression. It is said that her chief hobby is dancing—although she appears to be very quiet and reserved—but you never can tell. In Rogers High of Fairhaven she spent her grammar school days where she must have received a splendid background for her high school work, as she always ranks well in her studies. She is as yet undecided about her plans for next year but we know she’ll succeed for she can make anything a “go.” JOHN HOLMES ACORNLEY “Acorn Record Staff Here is one “Acorn” who is not a “nut.” We all agree on that. Who has not read the articles by this budding literary light which appear so regu- larly in the Hilltop,—and what interesting articles he can evolve! He loves his books, school-books and all. Acorn has no definite college intentions at present, but means to pursue bis studies in a soli- tary manner (not necessarily confinement). Well, we know that many a college would be grateful for his intellect which sprouted in the Susan H. Wixon School or maybe earlier, who knows! Acorn is one of Durfee’s few inmates who never become excited —no riotous yodel lings bring upon Acorn the harsh looks of keepers—er—we mean teachers. But be- neath this quiet exterior we all know that there lurks a great fund of good fellowship such as Dur- fee alone can produce. 14 0 TWEMTY-TWO © ELVIRA ACQUARONE “Vera In September, 1920, Vera very reluctantly came trailing from the Wilkes-Barre High School to land at no other place than Durfee. She did not like school life here at first because she was unacquainted with the work. However, as time went on, her class- mates recognized some extraordinary qualities which' made them eager to know her, and which have gathered around her a host of friends. It is inter- esting to know what these qualities are. She has a wonderful personality, which is indispensable to a newcomer; a remarkable wisdom which arouses appreciative admiration; and an ever ready wit which completes an interesting character. As for Miss Acquarone’s plans for the future—she is un- certain whether to become a schoolma’am or a mis- sionary in the southern part of China. JOHN THOMAS AHASEY “Jack “Red Jack claims that his hobbies are basketball and dancing; however, he doesn’t spend much time do- ing either, being better acquainted with ice cream parlors than with the athletic field or dance hall. No doubt, Jack has more than once said, uJe ne sais pas in the classroom, yet we feel that Durfee is all the better for having fostered his mental powers. John has not decided where he'll go next year, but doubtless in future times the Hilltop’s Alumni De- partment will have something good to say about him; that is, when he has stepped out into the world and has done something of note, which will make us proud of our old classmate. GERTRUDE RUTH ANAPOL Gert” “Gertie This cheerful person is “Gert, grinning as usual, and always ready with one of her original jokes. After first meeting Gert, we soon came to like and enjoy her fun-loving personality. Some fairy was very good to Gert when she bestowed on her the precious gift of good nature, which certainly is a great asset. Gert's readiness at any time to do a good turn has made her a favorite with a large number of the Commercial Division girls. By look- ing at Gertie with her tortoise rimmed spectacles, one might think that she is very studious. On the contrary—but we mustn't tell tales now that school is out. Keep up the jokes, Gert, and best wishes always. 15 0 DVJRFEE 0 MILDRED ALICE ANTHONY President Nursing- Club Alice is small in stature but most certainly not in accomplishments. She hails from the John Clarke School of Newport where she spent her grammar school days, Alice is full of pep and when she lets loose—hold everything! Her jokes provoke spasms of laughter which usually leave one a wreck from howling when she finally stops. She claims as her hobbies walking and talking, and we can surely af- firm this statement—also adding that she is very efficient in both and extremely effective in the latter, Framingham Normal will probably be her next stopping place on the “road to success.” We feel certain that her “peppy personality” will get her “there.” GRACE LESLIE ARNOLD Quite different from most High School girls is Grace Leslie Arnold. We seldom see her at a dance, as a fox-trot would not harmonize with Grace's dig- nity; we never hear her singing a popular tune be- cause that kind of music does not appeal to this calm and placid girl. Yet in what kind of recrea- tion does this unusual Miss indulge? Ptace her in a room filled with books, and we find her in perfect eongruity, for reading is Grace's greatest pleasure. From this bit of information we would naturally in- fer that Grace will continue her studies in the liter- ary field. However, her favorite subjects are those pertaining to science, chemistry, physics, and trigo- nometry, She will continue in this branch of learn- ing at Pembroke where she intends to go after her graduation from Durfee. ETHEL MAY ARTHUR Secretary Nursing Club Ethel is a member of the famous “Tech IV Girls’ ” class. She is unexcelled when it comes to being waitress or serving luncheons—this happens during school hours! Rut any time during the summer, Ethel can be seen keeping the beaches from going bankrupt, for swimming is one of her hobbies. For a winter pastime Ethel may be seen fox-trotting over the dance hall floor. Ethel is popular every- where! And sing—well if you never heard Ethel sing you sure have missed something. Her voice could easily be compared to that of a nightingale. Another thing we’re sure of is that she will make a rip-roaring success at Framingham next year. 16 TWENTY-TWO FLORENCE KATHERINE AYLWOOD Speed” As indicated by the nickname, Florence’s greatest virtue is “speed. We'll have to admit she's fast when it comes to selling lunch checks. That she is popular there is no doubt; Mr. Wallace has had a steady job this year keeping the boys and girls from crowding around the ticket table. Gee, we even had to get in line to see her! As with many others, dancing is by far her favorite diversion from the drudgery of study. “Speed expects to employ the knowledge she has gained from the Business Course in her future occupation, and no doubt, we'll soon hear of her as a snappy stenographer, employing her “speed in typewriting and shorthand. CECIL JOHN BADWAY “Sai'se” Greek Club 4; Forum 4 Sarse is sure full of fun; his grin is the “cheer- fulest thing in Durfee. And those eyes! Since he is so jovial and fun-loving, we surely miss him when we don't find him at his usual place at school. Par example, what would a meeting of the Greek Club be without Sarse?—especially the business part of it! He has been so completely won over by the classics that he reads Virgil in his every spare moment. Second only to his interest in the classics is his love for swimming, at which he promises to be a first-rater. Sarse's famous grin will operate in and about Holy Cross next year. EMMA ALICE LESTER BARLOW Emmie” Popular, likeable, cheerful and friendly—such adjectives one invariably associates with “Emmie. With the aid of these enviable qualities she has made very warm friends in Durfee, while at the same time she has been making a record in studies. It is said that she likes school very much, but she admits that she could live on dancing and tennis. She has am- bitions in many directions—you'd be surprised! But she intends to take a course at Salem Normal and then spend a couple of years teaching obstinate youngsters—we hope that she’ll remember when she belonged to that “specie. But, then again, we may go to the theater sometime in the near future and see her in some of Cecil De Mi lie's productions. 17 0 DVIRFEE 0 HARRY WHITERDGE BARNETT “Barney” Barney came into our midst in our Senior year, after he had completed his first three years of learn- ing in a town that is probably smaller than Somer- set. But we conclude that its teaching staff must be wonderful for Barney is a shark in all his studies. Although he has been with us only a short time, yet we know and like him well. He has not told us his intentions for the future but we think he'll be- come a great stamp collector, as that is his present hobby. Barney is the sort who plugs and is bound to succeed. MARY SWAN BARNEY “Molly” “We have among us shirkers and workers.” Mary is one of the workers. Simmons College will gladly receive her next fall, since she is such a brilliant scholar. Molly never shirks her studies or, in fact, any work that she has to do. Moreover, she is al- ways willing to sympathize with and to help her friends. There is something about Mary which makes her a rather remarkable girl. She is a diligent student; but outside of school she is also a skillful athlete, who never misses an opportunity to go horseback riding in autumn or skating in winter. Nor is it unusual to see her, on a hot summer day doing some of her fancy dives. Yet, to our surprise, Molly is domestically inclined also; she makes the finest cakes and the most excellent fudge! It is in this latter branch of education that she will continue and in which we are certain she will be successful. DORIS BURGESS BARTON This dainty little person came to the Hilltop School surrounded, as usual, by a number of her friends. She belongs to that class of people who, although they are not continually in the limelig'ht, are always beloved and respected by all who know them. With her genial and warm good nature Doris is a very likeable little girl. She claims that she is crazy about dancing and reading, and we can say that she is artful in the former and indulges freely in the latter. Dot has not yet decided what she will do next year, but we hope that sometime in the future we will see her pleasant face again. 18 TWENTY-TWO RICHARD WILLIAM BATT “Dick In Dick we have one of the “ cheerful est” mem- bers of the Senior class. Besides this he is also a good student and an athlete of no mean ability. Con- sequently he is popular with his classmates. His hobbies are basketball and football, both of which he plays equally well. His favorite pastime is, however, distributing the News, at which he is ex- ceptionally proficient. His customers are to be con- gratulated upon the efficient service which he ren- ders them. After leaving Durfee, Dick will continue his education at M. I. T. where he should make a name for himself because of his exceptional mathe- matical ability. We expect to hear of Dick after his graduation from M. I. T., in the capacity of a great authority on mechanics. ELEANOR MORRILL BEAN “Beany” Beany is the jolliest girl in the class. She is al- ways right there to hear or tell a good joke, and to laugh with real enjoyment. She is just the person to tell a joke to—which means a lot. Beany is quite a mermaid. At Horseneek she spends most of her time in the water. An extremely high surf or a chilly day are as naught when Eleanor wishes to indulge in her favorite sport. Beany possesses the enviable ability to be a friend to everyone—and we are all her friends. We hope you succeed “swimmingly” at the Rhode Island School of Design! ELDRED WARREN BEMIS “Bee” Supply Officer Cadets 4; Ex. Committee of Forum 4 What Ho! A future engineer is what you are gazing at. M. I. T. will gain this bird, or rather this “Bee,” and will never regret it, we assure you. But the wilds also will probably claim our social light because he named his hobby as camping. Bee comes from the Westall Grammar School and cer- tainly is a credit to his early teachings. As a cadet officer he shines at the drills and many a girl has lost her heart to our gallant quarter- master. He also has a great ability at banking and while we have not heard of any local missing money, yet you never can tell. 19 0 DVJRFEE 0 CAROLINE HAMILTON BENNETT “Came Here is a regular “Girl Scout ' and we can as- sure you she knows how to scout With a great many of her friends she joined our class and pro- ceeded to make herself liked. Intermingled with social duties she finds time to keep up to the minute in her studies and therefore is quite proficient in that line. She is another lover of dancing and we presume she shines in that as in most of her accom- plishments. Carrie has made no definite plans for next year but we know that with the benign good- will of her friends and the best wishes of ’22 a suc- cessful future awaits her. MARION CLETUS BENSON Three guesses as to her hobby! We don't need to enlarge upon that subject. When wTe encounter Marion, we first notice her eyes—those eyes, (no ex- planation needed there, either) ; then our glance (not a casual one) wanders upward and takes in a magnificent bob. Thoroughly aroused we take a general survey and find Marion most exotically at- tractive. For further particulars, inquire—well, on second thought we'll let that go. Marion is the life of all our dances and dances are the life of her life. She has oceans of pep, yards of “line” and everything requisite—a vamp, a deadly vamp. Marion plans to go to Skidmore, or some place where there are plenty of study periods, so she says. Now we wonder what .sort of studying she’s planning to do. MILTON EDWARD FRANCIS BERBY “Berby “Innocence“ Forum 4 Here is the submarine of the class. Berby is a wonderful swimmer—just like a sponge,—and only for the Oil Works he would have swum the length of the Taunton. Berby, moreover, is somewhat of an actor; at Tech in our Freshman year, he actually appeared on the stage carrying the flag. Milt is also a dancer and expects to change his flag-carrying act to one of classical dancing. At most any time, he may be seen prancing through the corridors, to keep in trim. The fact that Berby is a dancer ac- counts for his desire to travel. “Innocence” has no definite college plans, but time will tell. Who knows but that he will become a sec- ond Mack Sennett? 20 TWENTY-TWO EVA BERSTEIN “Eve” Of course, you have seen Eve walking up and down the corridors, her brown, sparkling eyes roam- ing here, there 'ne very where —we wonder for what (or whom?) she looks especially. You know, Eve has the most magnetic eyes—they just captivate one. Her every emotion registers in them, so you see they betray her to a certain extent. Besides being an ac- complished pianist Eve is fond of reading—the very best literature, too. Auto rides and sports also play an important role in her young life. Incidentally, we are curious about all her B, U. “Bean pots” and all the other college magazines she possesses. Sar- gent's is going to claim this animated and charming young’ lady and some day we may hear of her as a Physical Culture teacher. She has our very best wishes, anyway. MILDRED ALICE BERRY “Dred” Nice and quiet; low-voiced and pleasant;—that describes Mildred. There is quite a difference be- tween the Mildred of today and the little insignifi- cant Freshie of four years ago. Quite a difference! Did you ever see “Dred” skate? Well, you've missed a good treat, for Mildred is perfectly at home on the ice, being an exceptionally fine skater. “Died” de- votes her spare time to reading books. She has an extensive library at home which she uses to her heart's content. We are sorry you are leaving us, Mildred, because we thoroughly enjoyed your de- lightful companionship. EDWARD SLADE BLISS “Blissy” “Eddie “Ed” Football, swimming and skating claim the time of this product of the Westall Grammar School; we also know of a flivver which uses up a few of his spare moments. At local and (by means of the fliv- ver) out-of-town dances, his number nines are seen skillfully shuffling the dust. Blissy is a fast man and among his unofficial titles is “Barney Oldfield,” During his High School career, Blissy has made many friends; his modest and unassuming attitude in classes wins the teachers as well as the pupils. He aspires a cap and gown at Williams and when “Ed” aspires anything, beware! 21 0 DVIRFEE 0 CAROLYN STANDISH BORDEN “Borden Here’s a girl who gets a lot of fun out of life. Borden breezed into Durfee with the rest of ust and has been breezing nonchalantly ever since. She may be small but she has old ideas. Ask the Vive. We'll wager that no one has ever seen her take her time. If Borden had an hour to get to school, she’d hurry. She just can’t drag along, Caroly says she hasn’t any hobby, but we know differently, for we’ve seen her out automobiling quite often with a very eligible one and—she's still crazy about dolls! Caroly’s going to Simmons next year. Is it Sim- mons or Boston you’re after? ESTHER ELIZABETH BORDEN “Tessie” This young lady did not appear on the scene (at Durfee, we mean) until her Junior year, but she soon made many friends. The cause of this latter fact is that “Tessie” has a very unusual disposition —always happy, never thinking of taking life serb ously. Is it any wonder that the possessor of such a personality should be widely known and liked? She is surprisingly skilled and clever in her pet hobby: sewing or embroidering. Indeed, with a needle and thread she can create a perfect work of art. Durfee will not be the same without “Tessie” and her pleasant smiles. ROLAND HERVEY BREAULT Deciding that the best was none too good for him, Roland came across the pond to Durfee at the end of his Junior year in the New Bedford High School. We hope that he has partaken of the privileges granted at Durfee, and enjoyed them. Due to his late arrival he is not so well known as some of the other members of our class. Neverthe- less he has, by his pleasing disposition and manly conduct, attracted the friendship of many seniors. Perhaps his favorite study is mathematics. To use an expression of one of his classmates, he is a “shark” in that subject. Roland states that his hob- bies are swimming, track, and basketball. Next year he expects to attend Tuft's Medical College. 22 Q TWENTY-TWO © JOHN JOSEPH BRENNAN, JR. Jack” Football, 2, 3, 4; Hilltop Staff, 3, 4; Captain Foot- ball, 3; Basketball, 3, 4. “The bigger they corae the harder they fall.” If Jack is a fair sample of what the St. Joseph's School puts out, why we say, “The faster they come the better we like it.” Jack's favorite pastime, as we all know, is football. If he tackles the obstacles of life with the same vigor he displays on the gridiron, heaven help the obstacles of life. Jack is our great athletic star, a three-letter man, having won a D in football, baseball, and basketball. Jack was selected as one of the best schoolboy backfield men in Bristol county. As for being popular with the feminine sex —-well, Jack just has a certain way of doing it! He knows them all and there are many underclassmen who would welcome an opportunity to meet Jack, Jack goes to the Catholic University next year and if he continues his football playing, we may expect to find him placed on Walter Camp's All-American team in future years. WINIFRED RITA BRITLAND Here is another reason why we hate to graduate. This smiling, friendly girl is known to all of us as Winnie, and a better little sport could not be found In Durfee. Ask Winnie to do anything, and you’ll hear the well-known reply, “Sure, come on, PH do it.” Dancing and swimming are among her favorite sports, and she dances beautifully. Oh, she could just die dancing! Of course, it does not take up all her time, because much of it is spent in thinking about the future, Winifred is undecided about what she is going to be, but with the asset of her sports- manship, she is sure to be a success in everything. MARION BROADEENT Let me introduce you to “Miss Perfect English.” Charmed! Marion is a wonder at argument (any- where. anytime and on any subject) and when she begins to debate, let her opponents beware. She al- ways wins. Although she is unaware of the fact, Marion is absolutely cruel when she criticises an oral theme. Evidently her watchword is “Thorough- ness without mercy.” But that isn’t all! You should see her play basketball. She has that marvelous twist which sends the ball straight through the bas- ket. Marion takes to indoor pleasures, too, and says that her hobby is reading. Marion's earnestness will get her anywhere. 23 0 DVJRFEE Q LILLIAN VERONICA BROGAN “Lit” Pause awhile, dear friends, and behold Lillian, one of the jolly, good-natured girls of our class. Her years at Durfee have been one complete round of successes. Lillian excels in music but this doesn't prevent her from skimming over the ice in winter and from appearing on the tennis court in summer. Also, Lillian's many friends know her as a sunny, fun-loving girl whom they familiarly call Lib Next fall Lil intends to enter Hyannis, surely a most practical aim. Your class is confident that you will skim through life as pleasurably and as adeptly as you skim over the ice. ABRAHAM BROOKS “Abie” “A be” “Brooksie” Now we have before us the capable boy Abe, Abe has always been a very popular boy, especially with the fellows of the scientific division, of which he is a member. Brooksie’s hobby is dancing and we must admit that he is a wonder at it, Abe intends to enter M. I. T. later so that he may attain his ambition to become a civil engineer. We will not be surprised in the future to hear of his deeds of daring in lay- ing bridges and in digging subways. Come back some day, Abe, and build a new station for Fall River, MILDRED LOUISE BROWN “Mint” Millie” Know Mini? Of course we do! Everyone knows our cheery sunny Millie who has danced and danced at all our drills and into our hearts. (Any special one, Mim? How about it?) Oh, no, we don't mean that Mim does nothing but dance, because that wouldn’t be quite true, for she really and truly studies all her lessons faithfully. Don't you wish you were going to Framingham next year? Why? Because Mim's going! Isn't that reason enough to make anyone want to go? Here's luck to you, Mim. Don’t forget to write. 24 © TWENTY-TWO Q WILLIAM THOMAS BROWN, JR, “Bill” “Dusty” “Dusty” can be heard whenever he is seen, be- cause of his loudness, not in his speech but in the color of his hair. Bill claims automobiling to be his hobby, but he means to say Fordmobiling. Although he doesn’t attempt to be an excellent scholar, Bill takes a great interest in all school activities. He has not announced to the waiting world what his next Alma Mater is to be—but it will have to be some college. When '22 is having reunions, just oil up and Fordmobile down to Duriee. SYL) BUFFINGTON “Sid” “Buffy” Rf:cord Staff; Football 4 Is there anyone here who doesn’t know Buffy? Someone please break the oppressive silence! Buffy started in making a name for himself from the moment he burst in on Durfee, four years ago, and he has succeeded! If there’s any mysterious excite- ment circulating through the corridors, it’s ten to one Buffy's at the foot of it. We’re inclined to be- lieve that his hobby is attempting to shake the law- abiding foundations of peaceful old Durfee, but “Sid says” he lives for swimming and football alone. Have you ever seen him play for Durfee? It’s a thr-r-rilling sight when Buffy takes the field. Next year Buffy is going to Dartmouth to show them how to improve their football team. It will be rather quiet in Durfee when Sid leaves us. Come on now, three “Ki’s” for Buffington! Will someone kindly go upstairs and adjust the fasten- ings of the roof? ANNA BURKE “Burky” Anna is one of the notables of our class; all the fellows know, or try to know, her. Her popularity has grown steadily throughout her High School career because of her amiability and her good looks. Anna is one of our best looking girls. No matter how much she is absent, and no matter how often her recitations for her male teachers fall flat, one of her dazzling glances brings forth a passing mark at the end of the quarter. We all wish we could work the same trick. Anna came to us from the Westall Grammar School; which proves that the Westall School is capable of great things. Anna is an accomplished dancer and her card is always full. It’s a shame the way the boys fight for a dance with her. We don’t know what institution Anna intends to grace with her presence next; but. we hope she floats through her course there as easily and in the same carefree manner as she has here. 25 0 DVIRFEE 0 VINCENT PAUL BURKE “Cap” “Cap” who never seems burdened with studies— he doesn’t show his feelings—came from the Davis School. Although a far from noisy young man, his presence is always found in the vicinity of fun. He is fond of all the popular sports, but prefers foot- ball and swimming to the others. As for football, when playing with men of his size, he cannot be sur- passed. Perhaps it is his love for swimming that prompts him to become a naval officer. After a course at the Massachusetts Nautical School, we shall find him commanding one of our country’s ships. HENRY JOSEPH BUTLER But” “Heinie” Football 4; Forum 4 Three cheers for the N. B. Borden, which was But’s first “Alma Mater.” We sure can thank this school for sending us such a wonderful fellow. His splendid qualities have made him immensely popu- lar with ’22. As for sports, But is another football man. He made his letter, playing end and tackle for two years and was responsible for many of Durfee’s vic- tories. For his superior playing, he was placed on the “All-Bristol County Team.” His other hobby is driving. If you have ever seen Barney Oldfield, But would remind you of him, burning up the road. Henry is thinking of Exeter for his future Alma Mater. Good-bye, we hate to leave ya. ANNIE LAURA CARR Chick” Finding much dreaded examinations mere child’s play, “Chick” came to us from the Somerset Gram- mar School all set for her four years here. Her charming personality, her sincerity and her absolute fidelity as a student have won for her many friends. Her hobby (how different from ours!) is “going to school”—sounds sort of peculiar, n’est-ce pas? But still when one realizes how easy it is for Annie to master her studies—i. e., “just like that”—we don’t need to wonder whether she really means it. How- ever, a nurse’s career holds great charm for Chick and she intends to enter the Union Hospital School for Nurses. 26 TWENTY-TWO 0 HOMER FLORENCE CARR 2 ? ? 't ? Well! Well! Well! Who is this young man? You pause to find out- He is Homer Carr who came to Durfee to show us that the city is not the only place that raises prodigies. The fact that he came to us from the Dighton South Grammar School shows that country schools are able to compete successfully with those of the city when it. comes to providing an excellent education for its youthful citizens. Homer says that his hobby is preaching, With regard to this we are quite undecided whether to take it seri- ously or not. We are inclined, however, to treat it lightly. After graduating from Durfee he expects to finish his education at Nyack on the Hudson. We all hope that he will be as successful there as he has been at Durfee. FRANCIS J. SILVIA CARREIRO Hilltop Staff 3; Editor-in-Chief Hilltop 4; Forum 4; Greek Club 4 Francis Carreiro is one of the outstanding figures of the history of the class of '22, It is not his bril- liant scholarship alone that has elevated him above us all. Carreiro’s remarkable personality is felt in every corner of Durfee. He is possessed of the highest principles. If Carreiro believes a course to be right he pursues it with no thought of gaining prominence or popularity for himself. No one can sec Carreiro preside over a meeting without being impressed by his quiet dignity and poise. Rut Carreiro is not, however, a figure on a pedestal, aloof and distant. His sudden flashing wit is a keen rapier with which he has won a thousand conversational duels. Yet his remarkable aptitude for irony seems to have won him friends rather than enemies. Durfee is truly proud as she gives to the world this brilliant scholar, fascinating conversa- tionalist, and remarkable man of business. ANTHONY BURKE CARROLL “Tony” Football 3, 4 Tony followed the crowd from the Davenport. During his course he has managed to show just how to do things (Never mind what we mean). He spends much of his time (spare or otherwise) put- ting tires (spare or otherwise) on his car. Tony has been a most popular member of the football 'team for three years, playing as a regular the last two years. He was selected as one of the members of the “All-Bristol County Team.” He intends to enter Pratt Institute and we hope to hear more of his achievements, probably among them the invention of a tireless car. Just off the wire: Tony is our very best dancer! 27 0 DVIP FEE 0 DORIS PALMER CARTER “Dot” Nursing Club; Tech IV-B Let us give a rising vote of thanks to the Davis Grammar School for producing a charming girl like Dot. From the day she walked into Durfee, a green little Freshie, to her Senior year, she has always been a cheerful, congenial pupil. She never makes a lot of noise about doing things, but just does her duty quietly, getting the best results. Dot loves to dance. We all know this because whenever there is a jazz orchestra, and a good floor, there also is Dot. She intends to continue her studies at Framingham Normal. Lucky Framingham, we !! say. MATHEW FRANCIS CAVANAUGH “Mat” “Mcithoo” Most mats were made to be walked on. Take our advice, gentle reader, and don't try to walk on “Mat Cavanaugh, for he is guided by the precept, “Do others before they do you. During his four years' sojourn at Durfee, he has gained many friends with his pleasing personality and irrepressible humor. He entered as a member of the Tech Course, but on finding himself too bril- liant for that, he joined the members of the Scienti- fic, He has developed exceptional ability in Mechan- ical Drawing which is his favorite study. On his information slip he wrote that skating was his hobby, but he forgot to say with whom—? “Mat informs us that he will either go to Went- worth or Northeastern next year. ELLERY WYATT CHASE, JR. “Chasey” Biff! Boom! Bang! No cause for alarm; it is only Chasey coming down the corridor. Ellery should certainly be a contestant for the honorable title of class pest. Nevertheless, behind all his tricks and frivolity, there are the makings of a good man. (Ask Miss Blaisdell.) Perhaps he will be the mayor of Tiverton some day. He says that reading is his hobby. We wonder how he could keep still long enough to read, (which isn't fair because he is one of the cleverest members of his English class). His four years at Durfee have been spent in preparation for his entrance to Brown University next fall,—and to be serious for a moment, (although Chasey never takes himself seriously) Brown is getting one of the best “all- round good fellows” of the Class of 722, 2$ TWENTY-TWO ALBERT LORIMER CHESBRO “Al” Here you have before you a real “radio bug.” What “Al” doesn’t know about wireless isn’t worth knowing. Jf he takes up this work as a profession we predict a very bright future for him. Besides being a radio expert, “AL” is also a “shark” of a swimmer and a fast runner. We first saw him as a Freshman when he came to Durfee from the Bel- lows Falls, Vt., Grammar School. Since then we have been constantly aware of his presence because of his quiet and pleasant disposition. After gradu- ating from Durfee “Al” expects to continue his edu- cation at Brown University, ELLIS EVERETT CHORLTON “El,” a quiet, stern, athletic young chap came to us from the Borden School four years ago. El was all earnestness and has remained so during his four years' course. “El” is a student as well as an athlete. Athletics are his favorite pastime however, especially football. Not being large of stature or heavy in weight, “El has never played on the Durfee Grid, Some day, however, we wall probably pick up a newspaper and see in the sporting section that Walter Camp picks “Young Chorlton rhb. of Brown for the All-American team.” Let’s hope so. DOROTHY BERTILLE COFFEY “Dot “Dotty” “When you’re feeling tired and blue and don't know what to do ” just look for Dot Coffey, She is always ready to drive away the “blues” (all varie- ties). And another thing for which Dotty is famous is her teasing. “Don’t you remember the day when—” and she is all ready to launch into another reminiscent tale which never fails to bring forth a laugh sometimes even at Dot’s own expense, for we admit that she is really good natured. Dot claims that her hobby is dancing but we don’t believe her as frivolous as that because once we saw her knit- ting industriously! But Dot isn’t going to become a professional dancer, or knitter even, but a jolly lovable kindergarten teacher whom all the little tots will adore. 29 0 DVJR FEE 0 ELSIE CAMERON CONNELL Elsie is such a quiet arid unassuming person that when she entered Durfce from the Susan H. Wixon Grammar School it took us quite a long- time to get really acquainted with her. But gradually her at- tractiveness and charm of manner made themselves felt, and now she is the center of an ever widening circle of friends. In the matter of hobbies, Elsie prefers to side with the majority. A long glassy floor and a peppy orchestra and—everything that goes with it—-is her idea of happiness. Although Elsie is not over fond of studying she always attains success in all her studies. Those quiet, persistent people always win the prize. We wonder why Elsie has refused to divulve her inten- tions for the future to us. We’re sure, however, that whatever those plans are they’ll lead right to the top of Success. HAROLD R. CONNELL “Larry” Football 4 “ ‘Larry’ the Mechanic,” here he is! Automobiles or anything pulled to pieces! Connell is a tall—and as his picture shows—good looking fellow. He spends most of his time—except!—in overhauling his car and puzzling over new inventions which he’s going to have patented soon. He’s doing all this ’except” when he’s working up on his athletics. Connell has proved himself to be “way-ahead” when it comes to work on the gridiron. Long ago “Larry” graduated from the group of spring-board divers and now he climbs to the “high chair” to perform his varied stunts. Next year Norwich Academy can pride itself when it receives “Larry,” the all-around sport. ANNA LORETTA CONNERTON Anna is a pretty girl! Yes, but she has brains, too, and these two qualities very seldom come to- gether. We were indeed glad to have Anna around at Durfee and we know she will always be remem- bered as a girl of pleasant manner and cheerful per- sonality. Ann’s chief characteristic is quietness, but she has gained many friends here. She is very fond of reading—ah! that’s why we see her in the library so much—and not in the Reference Room either. Movie Magazines, Vogue, and their like, are more suited to her taste. Anna isn't going away to school, but is going into the business world. Some employer is going to be mighty fortunate. 30 0 TWENTY-TWO © RAYMOND JOSEPH CONNORS Greek Club 4; Forum 4 Ray is the only character of his kind; rio one ever was or ever will be anything at all like Ray. His conversation is individual and entertaining, tinged by a bit of amusing worldliness. We feel that he could pick up an interesting conversation with the most exasperating and uncommunicative mortal on the earth, it is probably by means of this ability to converse easily that Ray has established such ideal relations with all his teachers. He treats them like old friends and they in turn look upon him as an exceptionally enlightened being to be respected and admired. But if we look deeper we realize that it is Ray's engaging spirit of friendliness which works the miracle. Intellectual pursuits (both animate and inani- mate) find full appreciation in Connors. His wit is flavored by a touch of cynicism. {Reflected cynicism, Ray?) But all Ray's intellectual interests are for- gotten when he is at a dance. And here we think he is at his best, for he is one of the few who really can dance. Ray is going to Holy Cross next year. MARY HELENA CONROY “MarW In that famous year of nineteen hundred and eighteen “Marie” entered Durfee armed with her cheerful disposition and engaging smiles. While here she has made a good record and many friends at the same time. Marie claims (and we truly be- lieve her) that English is her strongest forte and consequently she always succeeds in this study. Swimming and dancing seem to have a great fasci- nation for “Our Mary” (we wonder why?) and much of her time is spent in indulging in these pas- times. Here is an exception to the “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” rule, for Marie is never contrary, always ready to help and—best of all—always her own sweet self! WILLIAM JACKSON COPELAND “Bar Football 3 Although Bill left us last year to pursue his studies outside of Durfee he is still, in our minds, a member of the Class of '22. Bill is noted not only for his athletic and scholastic ability, but also for his friendly nature. During his first year he at- tained great fame as a Latin shark and later became known for his ability to translate Greek. Consider- ing these attainments it is rather a surprise to find that he is also an athlete of unusual ability. He was a valuable member of the football squad in his Junior year and showed great promise of being a star quarterback. Bill is also a very clever actor as everyone who has seen him in amateur theatricals will testify. He seems absolutely at home on the stage and gets his lines over with remarkable ease. And after all. Bill, “all the world’s a stage,”—and with your steadfast personality we're sure that you'll always be cast in a leading role. 31 0 DVJRFEE @ JOHN PATRICK CORBETT “Jack” Forum 4; Greek Club 4 Here they come, the “Three Musketeers,” Bad way, Crowley, and Corbett! Who has not seen these three walking through the corridors with their heads to- gether thinking up new tricks and jokes to pull off on some poor unfortunate senior? And of the trio, Jack is the ringleader and well does he fill the posi- tion with his mischievous smile and his happy-go- lucky way. The harassed teachers well know the pardonable tricks which Jack has performed during his four years and we sometimes feel that they themselves will miss his Little antics after his gradu- ation, It is Jack’s intention to enter Holy Cross College, and in Jack, Durfee sends to the Worcester seat of learning a good student and a splendid chap. Best of luck, Jack, old boy! THOMAS J. COSGROVE We often longed to hear him gracefully speak the Latin tongue; sometimes we forgot he was in the class. But, as a matter of fact, how can an athlete be thrilled by Caesar’s “Gallic War” or the copious orations of Cicero? For other things less distaste- ful than Latin require his attention, especially in the line of sports. You have misjudged Thomas if you think him shy, for we who have known him con- sider him a great all-around fellow, and a remark- able basketball player. He is keeping us guessing as to his future intentions, but some day, no doubt, he will surprise us. WILLIAM R. CRABTREE Major, Cadets 4 Clank, Clank, Clank! Enter the Major, his sword by his side. Bill would have us believe that he is truly ferocious. His hobby, he declares, is woman hating,—with bicycling as a side issue. But is he really the stern unfeeling person we are told he is? Isn’t there some young lady in Durfee who will deny this? And is his reputation for hard-heartedness the same in Newport as it is here? Great soldiers have always been silent men and “Crab” is no exception to the rule. When he does speak, however, he always says something worth saying—a rare virtue around here. Everyone in Durfee appreciates Bill's splendid work for the cadets. We don’t know whether he terrifies his men by his stern and unyielding manner, but he surely gets results. We all admire him for his wonderful leadership, and we hope to hear great things from him; for truly, our Major is of the stuff from which leaders are made. 32 TWEMTY-TWO DOROTHY WILCOX CRANDALL “Dot” “Dodi” Jinx” Forum 4 Remember that time last summer when you saw a bob-haired miss driving a spick and span, new machine at a breakneck speed over the Tiverton roads? You wondered who that, bright-eyed, rosy- cheeked girl was and after an inquiry as to her identity you received an answer similar to this, “Why, don't you know? That's our Dot. She's just crazy about auto-driving and every chance she gets she's at it, stepping on the gas! Doesn't she do anything else? Why, of course; Dot's a Senior at Durfee and has quite an enviable reputation there as a scholar and a ‘good fellow' as well, and her friends will be glad to know that next year Jinx isn't going any further away than Miss Gibb's Sec- retarial School in Providence.” Now you recognize the interesting Dot as she whizzes past in search of new adventure. HELEN LOIS CRAPO Secretary of Class 3, 4 All hail to Helen, our faithful secretary of two years. Both her Junior and Senior years she has labored to keep a record of our class affairs, and we thank her heartily for her services. Did we hear you ask if Helen liked to dance? Just go to a drill sometime and see her fox-trotting with,—well, we'll leave that to your imagination, or let you see for yourself how she glides along. Helen is also a regu- lar attendant at the school games. If we failed to see her at a game we would certainly know some- thing was wrong. Helen didn't tell us what she in- tended to do next year, but no matter what she takes up, she is sure to make it go. GERTRUDE SMELLIE CROWELL When in about ten years from now (or even less) you visit some world-renowned art gallery you will doubtless see there a group of charming paintings with Ginger's initials modestly tucked down in one corner. We don't think this an extravagant state- ment to make, for Ginger's prowess in things artis- tic has given us good reason to predict a brilliant future for her. Keep it up, Ginger, and remember, “Practice makes perfect” and also remember that we of the Class of '22 want to have at least one artist to be proud of. Study hard next year at the Boston Normal Art School and don't disappoint your many friends. 33 0 DVJRFEE 0 EVERETT GREGORY CROWLEY “Ev” Greek Club 4; Forum 4; Executive Committee Things that never happen—seeing Ev Crowley strutting about at a high school dance. And yet Ev tells us his hobby is dancing. We wonder where he practices it. He must be another one of those people who keep the vie going at home. Although he's always ready for fun with the help of his friend Corbett, yet he appears, at times, quite sol- emn and peaceful, evidently keeping in mind his goal, Holy Cross. Yet we may some day see a world's heavyweight championship bout between James Corbett and Ev Crowley, because we know they get plenty of train- ing. Wouldn't it be interesting to see who’d win? —Whatever you do, Ev, we know you'll accomplish wonders. MARGARET DRISCOLL CROWLEY Margaret is quiet but not too quiet. She is also studious but not too studious. She's just a nice fun- loving girl who always does her English and her Math, the bug-bears of most of the rest of us; no bobbed hair for Margaret! We should say not, but then what girl would bob her hair if she owned the pretty brown masses which Margaret possesses? She's going to Bridgewater next year; and can't you imagine what a fine teacher she will make? Why, the kiddies will be spoiled as to future teachers if they have Margaret for a start-off! W. KENNETH CROWTHER “Ken” “Ken” is one of the quietest yet most agreeable members of our class. Certainly he should be one of the contestants for the “best all-around good scout. Although not very often connected with the social activities of the school he has found many ad- miring friends. He is especially popular with the fellows who have pursued the Technical course with him. Kenneth has a very pleasing personality and a deep sense of honor. He always acts like a gentle- man. Athletics of all kinds appeal to him, but base- ball is his greatest hobby. He is right at home on a baseball field. His ambition is to go to Wfest Point, Surely that institution will profit by our loss. 34 TWENTY-TWO ROSAMOND PHYLOMENE CYR “Dutchy” Record Book When Rosamond is seen walking through the cor- ridors of Durfee, it is not infrequent to hear some- one remark, “I would like to meet that girl. 1 won- der who she is ' Dutchy has qualities which make people anxious to know her. Because of her charm- ing personality and her amiable disposition, she has friends galore. In fact, she is never seen alone. Walking to or from school, she is always with a group of girts, chatting and laughing as if she had not a care in the world. She is interested in quite a number of things: reading, skating, dancing. How- ever, of all three, we think she tikes dancing the best, because she never misses a high school dance. Dutchy intends to go to Skidmore College. Best wishes, Dutchy! GRACE ANGELA DALEY Grace is some popular girl up at Durfee, let me tell you! She says that dancing and tennis are her hobbies—well, dancing—just like a girl! But she sure is some dancer, as frequenters of the High School Drills and other of her acquaintances will testify. She is such a crack tennis player that it takes a mighty brave person to accept her challenge. Grace is also in the famous “Tech 4 girls' class and hopes to continue her studies next year at Framing- ham. We warn Mrs. Mallory now to look well to her title when sunny little Grace takes leave of Dur- fee and substitutes a tennis racket for the quill. IRENE FRANCES DALEY Some sage has told us that in the original Greek, “Irene signifies “peaceful. If that be so, this little miss certainly does justice to her name; at least she doesn't show any signs of anarchy yet. But what we are referring to in particular are her sincere friendliness and her ability to win the af- fection of those about her. All acquainted with her enjoy her companionship, for her love for innocent pastimes and her straightforwardness have made her popular with the Hilltoppers. In a few years from now Irene's name will be on the list of teachers, for she plans to enter some Normal School next year. No plan could be wiser, for Irene is of that line, sane type from which come the ideal leaders and instructors of children, 35 LAWRENCE J. DALEY DVJR “Fat T1 Forum 4 You are now gazing with affection upon our old friend Fat. During all his days at Durfee, he has been a fond companion of both girls and boys. He is very well known. Daley’s career at school has been one continuous round of dances, movies, and good times. He is fond of athletics and has won popularity by playing on the Junior’s basketball team. We have heard that Fat can also spare some of his time for reading. Next year he will continue his studies at Georgetown. The class will� no doubt, miss him and his famous laugh will not soon be for- gotten. MARY FRANCES DALEY Although Mary is short in stature she is by no means short of accomplishments, and these do not exclude talking. My! How Mary can talk, and she always has something nice to say. Mary says that her favorite hobby is dancing-—we wonder who the lucky fellow is —or rather are. During her four years at Durfee, Mary has made a multitude of friends, who all agree that Mary certainly can brighten up a lonely spot. Mary has made plans to enter Westfield Normal next year, then try her luck at teaching, ’22 certainly wishes her the best of luck. DOROTHY DAVIS “Dot” “Dotty” “Dotty” is a quiet studious person who entered Durfee with the purpose of gaining many friends as well as much knowledge. Good nature is her out- standing characteristic. “Dotty” is a good sports- woman; in tennis, swimming, and skating she is equally proficient. As a musician, too, she shines and is never happier than when interpreting some difficult bit of music. Having succeeded so well here at Durfee, she intends to continue her commercial studies at Boston University. 36 TWEMTY-TWO e RAYMOND LEROY DAVIS “Bunk” Now who might this bright looking young man be? Why he is ‘ Bunk” Davis whom we all know so well. “RunkV' good nature and quiet disposition are enough to make anyone popular with his fellows, and that Bunk is popular everyone knows. His chief hobbies are basketball and baseball, at both of which he is equally proficient. We shall be dis- appointed if we do not hear more of “Bunk” some day in the capacity of a great basketball or base- ball player. We wish to say before leaving him that “Bunk” is a regular fellow in every sense of the word. Everyone in our class wishes him the best of luck as he goes forth from Durfee. NELLIE DEAN Giggles” Tommy” Forum 4; Nursing Club Here we have little Miss Noise herself. For Nellie’s course through high school has been just four years of noise with a little study thrown in. To begin with while in the class of '18 at the Davis Grammar School, Nellie established a rep for being the noisiest member of her class. But, gentle reader, from above facts do not draw the conclu- sion that Nellie is a bore for that is contrary to the impression that 1 wish to make. By saying that she is noisy we mean that she is loud in her praise of others. Indeed this quality became so evident that in her Senior year she was appointed cheer leader and began helping others make a noise at the various athletic functions. It is rumored that but for the efforts of this popular miss the football team would have gone down to defeat last Thanksgiving. Next year finds Nellie enrolled in the class at Framingham Normal. Her many friends wish her good luck and are awaiting the time when she will emerge a straight and prim school marm, GEORGE B. DEARDEN “Dearie” “Twim” Cadet “Dearie” was unknown to us until he came to Durfee as a Freshman. Since then we have become well aware of his existence. He surprised us all by appearing in the trigonometry class and showing us how much better he was at this subject than the rest of us. He tells us that his hobby is chemistry, but we are inclined to believe that it is also danc- ing. He may be seen at almost all of the dances “jazzing” with the best of them. We do not know what “Dearie” will do after he leaves High School, but whatever it may be we wish him the best of luck. 37 0 DVJRFEE 0 MARTIN HENRY DELAHANTY, JR. “Mart” “Del” “Matt” When Mart came to Durfee he was a little boy but—how four years can change one! Could you find anyone more agreeable than Mart? I don’t think so, (except possibly Marcotte). Mart always greets you with that big, broad grin which stretches fully across his good-natured face. During Mart's High School career he has been interested in machine shop, shopwork, and forging, and we learn that he is one of Mr. Skinner’s staunchest friends. ADELARD A. DEMERS Cadet Sergeant Adelard is one of our quiet classmates. Upon en- tering Tech, he chose the Scientific Course as his pursuit in knowledge, but later changed to the col- lege division. Adelard is interested in athletics, al- though he has had no time to win a “D” on the school teams, as much of his time is spent doing duty with the State Guards. He is also a member of the cadets and is now ranked as Sergeant. Be- cause of his faithful work in school and outside of school, he has won the respect of his classmates. Next year he hopes to pursue his studies at Tufts Dental College. We are confident of his success. ISABELLE CATHERINE DENNIS “Izzy” Isabelle is a very charming and likeable person, who can make more noise when she is once started than she appears to be capable of. Izzy delights in automobiling. You will never see Izzy walk when she doesn't need to for she would rather ride and talk than do anything else in the world. Isabelle has made, during her four years at Durfee, many— oh, many friends who are sure she will make many more as she goes on, Bridgewater is to be con- sidered mighty fortunate in having Isabelle next year and we all wish her the best of luck. 38 TWENTY-TWO MARGARET CONNELL DESMOND Margaret is one of the few people who really love music. She certainly can play the violin! Herein are betrayed certain characteristics of hers: real aesthetic taste and a perception of beauty not only in music but in material things. When she is not engaged in her favorite outdoor sports she may un- doubtedly be found practicing on her “S tradi varius” or enjoying some good book. Perhaps Margaret doesn't care for Latin but she has proven her ability to speak French fluently. In a few years from now when Margaret has graduated from Bridgewater she will be showing the little tots what a kind- hearted, loving teacher she can be. HANNAH FLORENCE DONDIS “Andy9' Ah-h—here’s one of our attractive, petite, bob- haired Seniors who hails from the Susan H. Wison School. We call her Andy and very often “Handy Andy” for Anna is always ready to help and al- ways keeps a cheerful disposition even under the most trying circumstances (teasing). Andy is a “wiz” when it comes to Spanish and we expect, some day—Ah, but let time and Andy fulfill our ex- pectations as to that! One would never suspect Andy of having- a perfect craze for dancing1, hidden away under that quiet little smile but she—oh, we nearly gave away that secret! But never mind, Andy, when you go away to that Normal School as yet unchosen, don't forget that you have the best wishes of the Class of ’22. ELIZABETH HANSEN DOWNEY “Betty Record Staff Do you know Betty Downey? Foolish question. Of course we know her; everybody does. She is the kind of girl that would be known anywhere—you just can’t, keep her in the house for she is bound to be popular, Betty is a corking tennis player. She has a “serve” so nasty that Tilden himself would have a hard time returning- it and we would put our money on Betty any time. To Betty belongs the wonderful record of never having missed a Dur- fee game during her High School course. That is what we call school spirit. We hate to lose Betty but we know that she is going to do some big things and this consoles us some. 39 D VJR FEE CLARA ANNA DUFFY Forum 4 As an example of a really clever pupil we recom- mend Miss Duffy—and Clara is also one good sport. She loves dancing and this fact is not hard to be- lieve if one secs her blissfully gliding about the floor at any of our drills with one certain cadet. Clara is also fond of skating and reading—the lat- ter we suppose when she is in a quiet mood, which we hope does not come on often, as she excels in the former and spends most of her leisure time in win- ter enjoying this sport. After completing her splen- did record at Durfee, Clara goes to Johns Hopkins University next year where we know she will con- tinue to shine as a “regrlar student ETHELWYN VIRGINIA DUMAS “Billy” Ethelwyn Virginia Dumas, alias Billy, besides be- ing our class beauty, is a good all-around scout. She dances divinely, she recites Ancient History glibly, she speaks French like a native of France and eats Eskimo Pie like a native of Eskimo Land. Also, Billy talks a great deal, not only when reciting, how- ever, for she does dearly love “just to talk.” It is a favorite question of Billy's beloved instructors as to whether she is talking “again or still.” But Billy doesn't mind in the least for, you see, talking is Billy’s hobby and she doesn't intend to let unsym- pathetic teachers interfere with her pleasure. Not at all! We only hope the teachers at Bridgewater will realize this and forbear with our Billy a little more. ALICE A. DURKIN “Curly” Our own Curly, laughing and joking, as usual! Curly is popular with every one, being such a good little sport. She is a wonder on skates and is oh, so fond of dancing. But she doesn't intend to make a specialty of the terpsichorean art; what she really is going to do is left for us to guess; she is very un- decided about the future. Often you may have seen her on Alumni Field for she takes great pleasure in baseball and football and is by no means a passive spectator. Her pleasant manners, splendid school spirit and adherence to her studies make Durfee say, “Here's luck to her whatever she does,” 40 TWENTY-TWO FRANCES VERONICA DWYER “Fran” “Frane” Remember that girl who’s always teasing and bluffing her friends? Yes, I mean the one with the red-brown hair and the wonderful blue eyes. That’s Fran, with her sweet disposition and her keen sense of humor. But those aren't all of Fran's good points, however, for beneath that thick crop of hair is a very much wide awake brain, none the worse for its owner’s constant demand for new inspira- tions for “bluffing. That same brain has been the originator of many helpful hints, graciously be- stowed on less fortunate individuals during the try- ing periods of “cramming for a test (in English especially). Fran’s another of our future “school inarms (a jolly one, however) for she, like so many of the rest of the class of '22, is bound for Bridge- water this fall. BORDEN EMERSON “Bor die” Cadet Sergeant 4; Forum 4 Here he is! The rollicking, light-hearted “Bor- die. He ambles all around the corridors (like the rest of us), then at 8.20 puts on his studious de- meanor and struts into Room 3 to give his opinions on the subject of astronomy. Strong views are these, from a mind brimful of knowledge of orbits, stars, planets, helium, sun-spots, and scores of things we never even think about. But once out- side of B. M. C. L). “Bordie” rushes for the armory and drills and drills until he has attained the rank of Sergeant. But he doesn’t intend to stop there. Just watch him! Whichever it is, “Bordie,” a scien- tific, or a military career, we wish you the best of success. FLORENCE ETHEL ENOS Florence is considered one of the quietest of our classmates. She doesn’t make much noise but always manages to make herself known by her merry giggles. After graduating from the McDonough School, Florence came to Durfee where she has cer- tainly shown that she is capable in any line. She is fond of reading and going to the theatre—the latter particularly does she love. It is said that Florence wishes to become a nurse some day, al- though nothing definite is decided. Because of her quiet, humorous disposition we are sure that little Miss Enos’s care will gladden some fortunate patient. 41 Q D VJR FEE @ ROBERT ALEXANDER ESTES “Bob” Forum 4; Cadet The Highland School has sent us many fine fel- lows; and “Bob” is a fellow of such good nature and of such a friendly spirit that nobody can help but like him, as the long list of friends he has made here testifies. Although he has not engaged in school athletics “Bob” likes sports, especially tennis and swimming. He has played in the School Or- chestra for two years and is a good musician. “Bob’s” hobby is Chemistry and he pursues an in- tensive course in this interesting science in his own laboratory at his home. He intends to further his education in this study at M. I. T. next year. HARRIET V. EVANS Harriet comes to Durfee from Assonet. By her almost shy, quiet manner she has won every one of us and we surely were willing to be won. She is not too tall, nor yet too small. She simply reached the millennium and then stopped. We’ll wager that her smile is the sweetest in Durfee; and is that not a rare qualification? Everything about Harriet is ineffably sweet and quiet. She enters rooms so quietly, recites so quietly, and laughs so quietly that we are fascin- ated by the charm of her presence. Heartily we wish her happiness and success. EUGENE MICHAEL JOSEPH FAHEY “Gene” First Lieutenant, Co. B. 4 Gene is a rather quiet, reserved fellow in a class where those qualities are only too rare. It is this admirable personality that has won the popularity which he enjoys. It is no unusual sight to see Gene fox-trotting with evident pleasure at. all the dances. Eugene is a first lieutenant in Company B of the Cadets and is one of the chief factors in making that organization successful. His brilliance as a military instructor and his high standing in all his studies prove this ability to accomplish whatever he at- tempts. He plans to enter a New England Technical School where, we venture to prophesy, he will con- tinue to persevere in that quiet, winning manner which is characteristic of him. 42 TWENTY-TWO 0 MILDRED DOROTHY FARRELL Hilltop Staff 4; Record Book Staff As soon as Mildred entered upon the tempestuous seas of a High School career, she was known as a jolly and good-natured classmate. In fact, Mildred’s cheerfulness is one of the best and most enviable things about her. She is always right there to brighten and enliven us when we have the blues. Ed is fond of dancing, and all that goes with it. Rut she can be serious, as her successful work in the Alumni Department of the Hilltop testi ties. It is her intention to enter Bridgewater next fall, where she will learn to teach pupils why one and one are two, while two and one are a crowd. RUTH SMITH FIELDEN “Rufus’ Greek Club 4 r i Record Book Staff; Forum 4 To colleges all around, Durfee is sending her sons and daughters; but it is particularly honoring Smith next fall by, sending such an ingenious scholar as our Rufus. In summer, when the wild waves are calmed she goes boating. She takes great pleasure in this as in all outdoor sports. In her studies she surpasses us all. Who can beat her at Virgil? However she still finds time for the Greek Club and is a valuable addition to that society. Ruth can even master a Greek verb. If she shows as much en- thusiasm towards her college work as she has shown in Durfee, Smith will have every reason to be proud of Rufus. So it is with regret, yet with confidence in her success that we bid her farewell. MARY PHILOMENE FIELDS “Mimi” flew out of St. Mary’s School and landed here. Although she doesn’t care to be a shark at studies, she has held her own through the com- mercial course. She is exceedingly fend of mischief and of eating—just ask her how much. “MimiV chief hobby is dancing; of course you don’t want to know with whom or anything like that. She always lends a helping hand to school activities, and may be seen at all the dances and games. Durfee would not seem the same if “Mimi” did not come rushing in just as the 8.15 bell rings. She intends to enter Framingham net fall and will take with her our sineerest good wishes. 43 6 DVJRFEE 0 WINSTON FINUCANE “Finny” What’s all the noise over there in the corner of the lunch room? Oh, that’s just our friend, Finny, playing a few jokes on the boys. We all expect this of Finny for such a live wire can’t keep still. Finny is a good fellow. He is one of the best liked boys in school because of his good nature and good dispo- sition. His hobby is swimming and he is a fish in this respect. (Fin?) He is undecided as to just what school he will go to after leaving Durfee, but it is to be some Technical school. “Care adds a nail to one’s coffin, no doubt. But every grin draws one out.” EDWARD FISH “Ed” Ed would make an ideal matinee idol—he is just the type to attract the flappers. But clean-cut fea- tures are not his only asset; he has a clean-cut per- sonality which will endure long in our memories. He is very boyish in his tastes, enjoying athletics, decidedly happy when he drives a car at reckless speed, and interested in all sports. Edward made quite a number of friends at Durfee, by no means cruelly excluding the young ladies from his circle. The beach holds a great attraction for Edward. He swims amazingly well and we know that he can tow a boat and paddle a canoe skillfully for ever so long and still not become tired. Rather remarkable, isn’t it? So whether he becomes Durfee’s potential movie star or whatever career he intends to pursue we know he will be indispensable and successful. HELEN DOLORES FITZGIBBONS “Fitzie” “Dutcky” Fitzie joyfully answered the summons rung out by the chimes of Durfee in September, 1918. During the four years spent at Durfee, she has made many friends in the commercial division. It is not Dutchy’s record that has made her popular, for her happy-go- lucky nature forbids this, but rather her winning smile and jolly temperament. It is evident that she believes the old maxim, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Helen is a real live-wire and a good sport. Her favorite hobby is swimming. Dutchy plans to make stenography her life work, in which we wish her the greatest success. 44 0 TWENTY-TWO 0 BERNARD FLANNIGAN Bernard is another application of the proverb about still waters. We are assured on good author- ity that Bernard is very deep; and indeed his clever contributions to the Hilltop would seem to bear out this testimony. Bernard is exceedingly good na- tured. He's always ready to hold out a helping hand or join in any project of his classmates with all his usual good nature. There seems to be some dark mystery hanging over Bernard's future. We were unable to discover his next stopping place after he pulls out from Durfee—but we haven’t many fears for his future. Bernard has always impressed us as being on the fast express for “Success.” HELEN CLARE FLANIGAN “Hel” Spotlight, please. This young lady is Helen, who needs no introduction to most of us, Helen has the reputation of being sociable, pleasant and good-na- tured. In the spring and summer, if one should go to the South Park, one would doubtless come across Helen playing tennis. It certainly is a pleas- ure to watch her at the game. She runs and hops around like a real professional, putting swift balls over the net with an admirable skill. Helen is pres- ent at all the drills where she dances continuously which probably accounts for her ability to dance so well. Hel is going to be somebody's stenographer soon and she will surely prove successful in her business career. EUNICE MARY FLETCHER “Mdf “Fletch” Orchestra; Ring Committee This bob-haired young lady is one of the popular girls of the College Course. After graduating from St. Patrick’s School in 1918, she came to Durfee where she has proved herself a very successful pupil, especially in French and English. So fond of dancing is she that on hearing a “fox-trot” she can hardly keep her feet still. This year “Nicie” has been a regular attendant at the drills with—an escort. She claims that skating and swimming are her hobbies but we'll wager she has others also. Nicie,” who has also a liking for music, was a member of the Durfee Musical Club. Columbia Uni- versity will have the pleasure of welcoming her next fall, and we hope she'll have as good a time there as she had at B. M. C. D. 45 @ @ DVJP FEE HILDRETH PAYNE FOGWELL This fair damsel trotted into Durfee with the rest of us, but she didn’t stay long- in the obscurity of the crowd. She will always be remembered for her winning smile and charming personality. Her hobby is dancing and we well know that she is very clever at it. However, she gives as much time, if not more, to drawing and painting. In these par- ticular studies, Hildreth has unusual talent. Next fall, she intends to continue her education at the Boston Normal Art School, and Greenwich Village will probably have another smocked and bobbed aspiring young artist in the future. DANIEL THOMAS FOLEY “Dan” Class President 3; Cadets, Adjutant 4; Hilltop 4; Forum 4 Since Dan came to Durfee, he has been greatly taken up not only with athletics, but with studies. He has maintained an enviable reputation both as a scholar and as a popular fellow. Baseball and bas- ketball have occupied much of his time. However, he is one of our most brilliant scholars, making a number of A’s Still, he has enough time for his athletics and studies to become Adjutant of the Cadets, and an editor on our Hilltop staff. Dan was voted the most interesting fellow in our class. The secret of his fascination is that he puzzles us. We cannot decide just what it is which lies behind his enigmatic smile and pleasant way. Dartmouth is his choice for next fall, and we know that he is mak- ing for success there as complete as that which he has had at Durfee. ROLAND BR1GHTMAN FOLEY “Rollie” “Rollie Pollie” Forum 4 Rollie is one of those happy-go-lucky fellows, as his nickname ‘‘Rollie Pollie” suggests. Rollie says his hobby is “Picking off Janes” and although wre hate to, we have to “kind-a-believe” this when we consider his love for the center of the city and dances. Rollie delights in all sports, particularly football. He resigned from the school team to ful- fill the noteworthy position of coach for one of his neighboring schools. Rollie intends to follow the footsteps of his big brother and continue his studies at Brown next year. We know that he will be as popular wherever he goes as he was at Durfee. ■ 46 TWENTY-TWO VALERI ANNETTE FOLEY “Necco” Let the cold north wind blow; there is no terror for Neceo, so long as she is speeding down a snow- covered hitl on skiis defying the blasts of winter. Or if the heat and droughts of August parch the fields how is this little girl to know it when she is enjoying a good swim? But aside from the gen- era! trend of sports and pastime she is all that we could wish her—pleasant and entertaining. We know from her never-tiring efforts in Latin that she is a good scholar. But French, above alt studies, has won her liking. Her ambition is focussed on this language. Next year, she will specialize in it. DOROTHY WING FONTAINE Record Book Staff; Forum 4 A girl like Dot! Peppy and full of enthusiasm— yes—But we do not hesitate to say further that we find in her that depth of character seldom encoun- tered, which has as its foundation deep sincerity. Moreover, Dot is one of the best all around good scouts in ’22. Her interests are not concerned with too much of this or too much of that, but with just enough of everything (studies, dancing, debating, cluhs, and athletics) she makes the round of her ac- tivities ideal—broadening to herself, refreshing to others and beneficial to all. Dot’s ambition is abso- lutely characteristic of her. She is going to China to teach! She is deeply impressed by the possibili- ties of that awakening country and we know that she will be an inspiration to all those with whom she comes in contact out there. But wre—what shall we do, when she leaves us? For truly we shall never find another Dot. DORIS GRAY FORD “Dot” Dot comes all the way from Tiverton to attend Durfee. We are certainly glad that she decided to come here. Where, we ask you, could one find a more pleasing personality than Dot’s? She is al- ways the same smiling, cheerful person, day in and day out. Dot’s hobby is dancing. It is awful to think of what would happen to some dances we know of in Tiverton, if they didn’t have Dot to help the cause along. Dot forgot to tell us what she in- tends to do next fall, but we don’t have to worry, for we are sure of Dot’s “getting there,” wherever it is. 47 ® DVIP FEE 0 ANA ROSAMOND FRIEDMAN “Ann” “Friedie” Ann is just the type of a girl an artist would want to paint. Her face is a study. In it the sweet- ness of her personality is reflected. It is nice to be acquainted with Anna, but it is a great pleasure really to know her. Although she is not difficult to analyze, yet we can't understand what that “some- thing” is. It must be her amiability and her charm- ing disposition. Aren’t she and Alice a pair? She is going to continue her studies and we know that she will prove to be that sort of sympathetic person who will obtain unusual success in her profession. CLARABELLE GADSBY Louise” Sh!—Don’t distrust the tranquility about this young lady, one of the quietest members of our class. Clarabelle believes that silence is a virtue. It did not take us long, however, to find that she is always up and doing, ready to help in class work when needed. She is a member of the Home Eco- nomics Division and is especially interested in cook- ing and sewing in which she has shown us great ability. She says reading is her pastime, and as for future plans, she has not made any definite plans. JOHN MASON GARDNER “Jack” “The Press Shark” Swansea always does send us some fine fellows and Jack is no exception to the general rule. His good nature and ever ready smile have won for him a long list of friends in Durfee. Jack’s ability in printing has given rise to his nickname, “The Press Shark.” Jack’s hobby is dancing and how he can dance! His ability as a polished floor glider is well known to our young ladies. “The Press Shark” has no college intentions as yet, but wherever he goes, we know that being a shark at pressing he will make his way 48 TWEHT Y- TWO CARMEN JOSEPHINE GARWOOD “Jo” Jo! People ask, “What’s in a name?” Quite a bit when the person concerned is such as Jo. She hails from sunny Porto Rico. What we would have missed if she hadn't taken a notion to saunter up Durfee way! Jo simply knocked us out when she strolled along in September . We all fell. We simply couldn't resist that Southern drawl and those big brown eyes. Jo’s hobby is dancing. At the dances you'd think she was auctioning something off, considering the dense crowd which always sur- rounds her. Ask any of them if she can dance and hear them rave. Jo is going to Michigan Univer- sity in the September of 23. GEORGE A. GEARY “Gum ho” Football 4; Basketball 4; Forum 4 One of the star players in every football game of the season, George Geary strengthened our athletic standing for the year. He not only played clever football, but he also added pep to our basketball team. Several of his spectacular plays in both of these sports were highly praised by critics “in the know” who predict a future for Gumho. In addi- tion to his popularity as an athlete, Gumho believes in the higher side of school life, and is always iri evidence at all social affairs. Because of his pleas- ing and “right there” personality and unusual athletic prowess, George will undoubtedly make a name for himself at Yale, which he is planning to enter next year. JAMES LEO GIBLIN “Jim” “Jimmie” “Gibbie” Cadets 1, 2; Forum 4; Greek Club 4 Four years ago, when Mr. Moulton heard that Jimmie was due to be graduated from the Daven- port Grammar School, he immediately threw his in- fluence into “high” and enticed Gibbie to enroll at Durfee. And maybe we aren’t glad that Charles K. did, the girls especially, as the members of the fair sex would be lost without Gibbie to lend them a help- ing hand. Jimmie certainly does take the cake when It comes to tripping the light fantastic. Jimmie is fascinated by all of the sports at our school. When- ever there is a game Gibbie is sure to be on hand to cheer his fellows in their efforts to win. Gibbi e’s good nature, his love of athletic fields, and his quiet disposition all combine to gain him a host of friends among the students. And we are sure that when Gibbie enters Holy Cross in the fall, he will be equally as popular as he was with us. 49 0 DVJRFEE 0 RUTH NAOMI GIFFORD “Giffy” “Bunny “Rufus Many first knew her when from a lofty height she held the torch of liberty. That was in the pageant you know. But they learned more about her when they became acquainted with her at school, for they found out that she is an all-round girl, and a good scout. Moreover she possesses the good qualities which her part in the pageant betrayed. When not in a pensive mood, she claims dancing as her hobby. Then in her spare time, sewing delights her. Among her classmates, she is popular in every respect, and they wish her success in “ Homemaking” which she intends to study next year. ALBINA MAY GILBERT “At “Bern” If it has a string of “AV’ it belongs to Albina for that is the kind of report card she always takes home. It is the Davenport Grammar School which we must thank for sending this student to us. She is a member of the Commercial division and because of her sunny disposition and witty remarks, “Bena” can claim a great many friends here in Durfee. “Al” claims dancing as her hobby but when we ask her what her future vocation will be she shakes her head and says she is undecided. CONSTANCE GLENDON Assistant Editor-in-Chief Record Staff Connie’s different; she is so fastidious, so worldly wise, so aristocratic and chic. Her fastidiousness show's itself in her neatness of dress, in her slight aloofness of manner, and in her discriminating likes and dislikes. Connie's chicness gives the impression that she is straight from “Paree”—she certainly possesses an enviable air. Her customary expres- sion is as nonchalant as that of the most practised debutante; and her quick significant gestures and telling changes of expression again remind us of “Paree.” Connie’s outward charm is made up of many fascinating ways, but she possesses too, a deeper attraction which has endeared her to '22— an entertaining gayety and a capacity for true friendship. Such a one will Mt. Holyoke find among its Freshmen next year. 50 0 TWENTY- WILLIAM GODDARD “Bill” “Spud” Corporal Cadets 4 Quarter past eight—puff, puff! Bill comes rush- ing in at the last minute. But this is one time when misery has a lot of company. This is Bill’s favorite sport, coining in just before the bell rings. But Spud is right on the spot when there is any skating. His regular attendance at Ruggle’s Park proves this. He is also a baseball fan! He is an excellent player and in future years we’ll probably hear that Bili has accepted a fifty thousand dollar contract with the Giants (even though he isn’t a giant) ; or we may hear that he has made some remarkable electrical discovery, for he is well informed on this subject. He intends to enter Lynn General Electric. FRANCES GOLDSTEIN “Fannie “Speed” Frances is called “Speed” because she is always in a hurry and never on time. Odd, but nevertheless true. Even if loquacity is one of her chief charac- teristics, she is a perfect dear and “entre nous” she is extremely witty which really is no secret at all. Fannie is, without a doubt, a popular member of the Commercial Division and is considered by many a real “pal” and true friend. She is seriocomic, a truly engaging quality. So you see the “Happy-go- lucky” attitude she assumes is just an index to her real character. As cheerfulness, courtesy and tact are the lubricators of business, we feel sure that Fannie will be successful. For Fannie, fortunate girl, has all these praiseworthy qualities. GEORGE WILLARD GRAHAM “Bird” “Gee Gee” “Cup” “Jorge” Cadets, Captain 4 When the Borden Grammar School got too small for George he came to Durfee and now that he’s out of Durfee he’s going to Yale Scientific. He claims tennis as his hobby and wields a mean racket. “Til- den, take note.” His indoor sport is eating and he certainly makes hot dogs and hamburger disappear. When you reach Yale, “Jorge,” eat a few for us. George is also dashing captain in our cadet corps and we see his tall form at all the drills gliding slowly about the floor in his uniform. George has the girls falling for him right and left but he wavers not from the straight and narrow7 path and he saves his affections in a manner that leads us to suspect that he has a definite use for them. two Q 51 DVIR FEE HORATIO ANTHONY GRAY “Ratio” “Gris” Cadets, 1st Lieutenant; Record Staff At-ten-shun! Here we have “Ratio” himself. We all know that he is a good fellow, all right, even if he does like the ladies. Ratio joined the cadets in his first year. That he is now a first lieutenant shows that he has the goods in this side of school life, although “Solid Geometry” docs bore him. Gris claims that Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony are his chief hobbies, but we will not hesitate to add a third, dancing. Ratio certainly can glide over the floor. Gris intends to go to Brown University. Our best wishes, Gris, EDITH GRAY “Eddie” Edith is so thoughtful and good-natured that she has gained many friends. She is a real home body. She sews beautifully and certainly deserves credit for making the clothes that she wears. She is fond of reading and enjoys dancing. This can be readily explained as she is seen at all the drills and at the various private dances that are given. She is very well informed about the country. She can converse intelligently and interestingly about the trees, flowers, birds and everything that one sees there. Living there probably makes her appreciate nature to such an extent that one of her favorite hobbies is to sit in a meadow of green, green grass and glory in the beauty of the universe. So nowT that Edith has been described, don’t you think she is nice to know? JOHN JOSEPH GRIFFIN “Jack” Fat” Rufus” President of Greek Club 4; Forum 4 Ah! at last, fellow students, at last, before us we have Rufus, the one and only Rufus. It was a bright day for us, indeed, when St. Mary’s Cathedral grad- uated Jack and sent him along to Old Durfee to gather in more knowledge. His good nature and helping hand are two points of his character that we will not forget in a hurry. As a debater, Jack is there with the goods, as shown by the debate be- tween Mr. Wallace’s two classes. Rufus is also an ardent lover of football. And as for Greek—his position as president of the Greek Club shows where he stands in that subject. John is going to St. Charles College. 52 TWEMTY-TWO MYRTLE MOSHER GRINNELL “Myrt” Country towns may be dull, but—the girls. Oh Boy! There's Myrt, for instance. Have you ever seen a prettier or more vivacious girl than she? A regular sport is this young lady. She swims superb- ly, dances divinely, skates like Pavlowa dances— need we tell you more? You all know the effects that her sparkling grey-blue eyes and infectious laugh have had upon you. Judging from the case in Durfee, we predict many cracked or broken hearts, when in the future Myrt leaves R. L, G. Rhode Island College. ETTA GABRIELLE GUILLOTTE Art Editor Record Book Etta is one of those serene, smiling, happy people whom we both envy and love for their perfect con- tentment. Etta's company is balm; in her walk, in her talk, in everything about her there is an atmos- phere of soothing serenity. Her presence radiates a most gratifying sense of comfort. If you have the blues, if you've lost enthusiasm in anything, or if you simply want refreshing companionship, you will find in Etta all the sympathy and encouragement you need. This generous self-effacement, this great-hearted- ness is the key of Etta’s character; it gives rise to many lovely habits of generosity; it makes her that most rare thing—a good listener, whose quick and perfect understanding fills one with overflowing gratitude. Although her particular hobby is reading, she glories in hiking and skating and never misses a camping trip. Her middle name is Gabrielle; that is probably why she so nearly approaches a state of beatific perfection. KENNETH EARL HAGENSON “Dutch” “Ken” Whew! A whirl of dust! Who's that going sixty miles an hour down Main Street? Why, that’s our classmate, Dutch; that’s just a daily occurrence. When the Lincoln School sent Ken to us it sent us a live wire, all right, for Ken is in the thick of everything, right or left. His popularity is shown by the long list of friends he has made here. Speed- ing is not Dutch’s only hobby for if one attends the drills one will see Dutch there with a young lady from the Junior Class. After Ken leaves High School, he will go to the Textile School. What’s the use of worrying? 53 0 D VJR FEE 0 RUTH HALE “Tooty Ruth has never been reprimanded for her conduct; she always remembers the slogan, “Speak when you're spoken to.” That is, when she is in school. We imagine she is quite different when with her friends. She is so unobtrusive that few of us have had the pleasure of knowing her. Probably her love for reading is responsible for her peaceful attitude. There are never enough books (not school books, of course) for our Ruth. Though she has worked hard during her course at Durfee, she has managed to come out with a smile. We know, Ruth, you will he successful as a school- marm since you have shown yourself to be a faithful and steady worker. ELIZABETH COIT HAMBLY “Betty Art Editor Record Book Staff Curtain now rises on our beloved Betty. She came from the Mumford Grammar School, Newport, and in spite of all the trials of commuting on the famous Bay State Line, she has managed to remain cheer- ful and happy. As one of the Art Editors of the Record Book she has displayed a wonderful talent for drawing and no doubt in future years she will be exhibiting her art successes. But in other studies also she manifests skill. Betty is famous for her sweetness, her perfect profile, and her art (heart?). A combination sufficient to make her famous, n'est-ce pas? She is going to Skidmore next year to continue her art. DORIS ELEANOR HAMPTON “Dot” Nursing Club Don't you know Dot? Well, you surely must come around and let me introduce you sometime. Dot is sure some vamp. Yes, she came from Westall four years ago, but oh, how four years can change one. Rather fond of dancing and a few individuals (no names men- tioned) she has lasted out the four years' course. Our friend Dot we learn is very greatly interested in nursing and intends to take it up after her High School career. I'll say all the patients will surely want to stay sick but with Dot's persistent care they will get well—quite reluctantly nevertheless. Some day when we are in the hospital after an ac- cident we will see a white frocked nurse come up with her sweet smile, and then let's stay sick. 5 4 TWENTY-TWO JOHN CHARLES HARDING Jack Jawn” “Sol Forum 4 “Jack” as he is most familiarly known has proven himself a very line fellow. “Jack” took the college course upon entering Durfee and has kept himself among the foremost of his class. Believing him at first to be rather quiet, we were greatly surprised to find him a very lively, friendly fellow. Boxing seems to interest “Jack” especially, al- though we have often seen his name in the lineup of the “Davis A. C.” and read that “Harding” was the star of the game, “Jack” played football two years and baseball one. His present plans are to enter Tufts Medical School and we expect to soon hear of John C, Harding, M.D. MARY GENEVIEVE RITA HARRINGTON “May” Let us now introduce “May,” one of the quieter members of our class. She started her education in St. Mary's School and through her four years here she has been one of our “A” pupils. Her hobby is dancing but this does not interfere with her fine record. She is fond of the movies and delights in skating. She plans to enter Bridgewater next year. Good luck to you, “May,” and here's hoping you re- ceive as many “A's” as you did at Durfee. KATHERINE GERTRUDE HARRISON “Kay Determination, constancy, success! These have been the characteristics of Kay's four years1 exist- ence in Durfee. She entered Durfee as a modest Freshman of the Tech. Normal Course, grinding her teeth together with determination. After four years of study and perseverance, during which she has performed all her tasks equally well, she has reached her coveted goal—success. When out of school, she employs her time in playing tennis,—of which she is a very fond lover—and in gliding over the dance hall. Katherine intends to train for a nurse, in which we all know she will prove a great success. 55 0 DVJRFEE 0 BERTRAM PEASON HATHAWAY ...--------, . .-----Bert, our electrical and wireless shark (shock?) is full of fun and funny doings. His endless pranks have won him the last- ing affection of Mr. Judd. Charging storage bat- teries and wrecking other electrical apparatus is his favorite pastime. In constructing the new Radio set at Tech he and his side partner Will Sherman took prominent: parts. During our four years, he has been more or less interested along electrical lines. Iiis chief abode in school is Room 5 at Tech. But we sure can't blame him, for his farsightedness tells him that electricity is in its infancy and that Thomas Edison Hathaway, alias Bert, will invent something of credit to himself and his school. CLARA FRANCES HELGER “Bubbles” Well, Bubbles came to us over the foam from New York three years ago. She immediately attracted our attention for her scholarship and also arrested our admiration for the way in which she “stepped” around on the dance floor. Even Irene Castle would lose her laurels to this dainty little lady! In the business course Bubbles has made a name for her- self which shows us that she will succeed in the busi- ness world after she leaves old Durfee. With Bubbles goes the best wishes of the class for a bright and successful future in the marts of trade. THOMAS FRANCIS HICKEY “Tommy” “Hickey” “Pete” “Sonny” Forum 4 It is reported that only once in his varied High School life has Tommy lost his smile; and that was in the lunch room when all of the “Hot Dogs” were sold out. For the most, prominent thing about Tommy's anatomy is his—(no, guess again, not his nose)—but his smile. Smile is too small a word to express it. Maybe grin would suit the occasion bet- ter. For let it be understood that Hickey's grin is of no common variety but rather a remarkable grin that reaches from one ear to the other. Tommy’s chief diversion is teasing his teachers. Many of the teachers have been about to send him to “court,” when he has turned his patented grin f ull force upon them and forced them to back water. “Always carry a grin around, it is safer than a gun,” advises Tommy. Hickey will be enrolled at the University of Penn, next year where he will specialize in Math, but no matter where Hick is bound he will be sure to make many friends in the same easy manner that he did at good old “B. M. C. D.” “By His Grin Ye Shall Know Him.” 56 TWENTY- TWO LEONARD MARTIN HIGGINS “Jigger” “Len” Here, we have, ladies and gentlemen, one of the most popular members of our class, Jigger Higgins, Jigger is a great favorite among the students, espe- cially among the athletes, as he is a newspaper cor- respondent and many are the pleas for a good write- up that are directed toward Len. Perhaps this ac- counts for his strange hobby: that of “following the athletic teams.” But we take the liberty of revising this hobby of Len’s to read as “following1 the ladies.” For wherever there is a member of the fair sex you can holler “Jigger” and a little bit of a “feller” in a blue suit will answer “Here.” This would seem to indicate that Jigger is somewhat of a dancer and in- deed he is. We also take the liberty of adding a third hobby to his list which he evidently forgot. Anybody who ever saw Len at the wheel of a lim- ousine will be able to tell you what it is. Jigger in- tends to enter Wentworth Institute in the fall. We are sure that because of his good nature he will be welcomed up there. DOROTHY FRANCES HIRT “Dot” “Dottie” “Talk about a wonderful time!” This is Dot’s favorite sentence and we cannot doubt her word. Yes, Dot certainly has good times as she is one of our most popular girls and seen at nearly all the school’s social and athletic affairs. Being a produc- tion of the Borden Grammar School, we must com- pliment that institution, for Dot has lived up to ex- pectations in every way. We cannot accuse Dot of entire levity but she has a wee bit of that frivolous spirit which in her case has been most beneficial— we like her for that “peppy” disposition. We forgot to mention that Dot’s hobby is swimming and she may rival the great Kellerman sometime in the future. Don’t be surprised if you hear of it. MILDRED MAE HOLT Nursing Club Who is that girl who is raising so much Cain in the study hall? Why, that’s Mildred, one of the jolliest and best-liked girls in our class. “Milly” has the honor of being the President of Durfee’s Nursing Association, which office, we must all admit, she executes as well as one who has long been in the habit of bossing. “Milly’s” word is law and we dare not contradict her. Mildred likes to trip it lightly and when dances do not come often enough for her at Fall River, off she goes to our sister city to show them something which may have passed over their heads, or rather, their feet. We wish you success, Mildred, in dispelling the gloom and depression of your patients. 57 DVIR FEE THOMAS MARSHALL HOFKINSON Tommy” “Hop” Thomas Marshall Hopkins on is one of the Fow- ler's chief gifts to Durfee. Tommy, as his friends call him, is an accomplished musician. Next year he plans to continue his music at the New England Conservatory, as an extra study. The main branch of his education will consist of a course in electricity at Lynn. This would seem to proclaim that Tommy is indeed a studious young man. However, to prove his versatility, Tom may be seen at any of the High School dances, usually in the company of a certain prominent Senior of the opposite sex. And thereby hangs a tale. BENJAMIN HORVTTZ Ben” If Durfee were to list the clever members of our clas.s Ben's name would be among the foremost. He is a shark at Trig and Solid. When be isn’t bother- ing his head about cosines and logarithms, he spends his time learning how to break test-tubes. But he doesn’t spend all his time studying. Like the rest of us he doesn't let slip an opportunity to have a good time. His knowledge of German and Latin might lead us to suppose that he will become an accomplished linguist some day. But we must cancel such a sup- position, for he has announced that he will study medicine and attend the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy next year. JAMES BERTRAM HUGHES “Bert” Record Staff; Forum 4 In this marvelously advanced twentieth century, people, especially the younger set, are divided into two classes: those who are “there” and those who are “not there ' Bert belongs to the enviable former class. He is right at home whether the subject is dancing (camel walks or parda-basques), books, futurist marvels, the Chinese question, buying cig- arettes in Singapore, movies,—anything! Arid speaking of movies, we doubt if there is one movie face from Mary Pickford to the rear of the mob which Bert can't identify. Bert is jolly (rather like Santa, in fact), clever and very likeable. He “just adores dancing, and is rather partial to slender, graceful partners, clever at repartee like himself. We hear that his motto is, “Laugh and grow fat.” Let's all adopt it. 58 0 TWENTY-TWO EUNICE ELIZABETH HUNT Vneeda” U-Niee” is the jolly sort of girl whom everyone likes to know. After graduating from the Stevens’ Grammar School in Swansea, she entered Durfee to continue her education. She is one of the few mem- bers of that illustrious Tech Normal Division and has attained much success in school from her faith- fulness in her studies. However, Eunice delights in many sports, especially skating, in which she in- dulges often during the winter. Next year she will enter a dietitics school in Boston and we are sure that success will follow. MARY MARGARET HURLEY Picture Committee Who doesn't remember the graceful “wave” of our famous pageant? Twirling, pirouetting’, lightly and gracefully dancing her way into all out hearts— this is our Mary, even though she isn’t a filmland star yet! Always ready to see and enjoy a joke even if it is on herself! Worry? That’s a word Mary doesn’t know the meaning of—the unknown quan- tity in Mary’s mathematical life! She doesn’t have the worry that “the goblins ’ll get her if she doesn’t watch out” ’cause Mary always does what she is told to do, even dancing. Keep it up, Mary, and don’t let the work at Sargent’s next year bother you. NATALIE CLARK HURST “Nat” And here’s Nat! Our prime, demure little Nat! '‘Demure,” did you say? Ever hear the saying, “Still waters run deep?” Underneath the smooth hair of Nat’s well-carried head is a very capable and orderly brain which is ever working busily. Very self-composed Is. our Nat, thoroughly at home in all circumstances even at a drill (How about it, Nat?). Yes, Natalie docs go to the drills assuredly, ’cause she “just loves dancing,” and one doesn’t wonder very long after seeing Nat having the time of her life at a drill. She is going to Bridgewater. 59 0 DVJRFEE 0 MIRIAM ALICE ISHERWOOD “Ish” Splinters” Cut Editor of Record Book Durfee's future instructor in Fine Arts, Miriam “Splinters Isherwood. She is an artistic jewel (witness the fine work she has done in this book) and just what we needed (for Ish can tell you that this is the worst class for artists ever entered in Durfee). Ish claims that her hobbies are such friv- olous things as dancing and skating, but we don't mind that when we see her Math marks. Well, Splinters, don't forget to drop us a line from Bridge- water Normal. But we think, that with the right persuasion, you will end up at an art school. We know that with your ability and readiness to work you would make a good designer. EUGENE JOSEPH IVERS uGene” This industrious young man, usually designated as “Gene ' is interested in and has made hobbies of dancing, skating, and traveling. When going through Durfee's halls, one can generally get an oc- casional glimpse of “Gene, hustling along and acci- dentally bumping into scholars in his mad haste to get to some study period where he can improve on rhetoric, or memorize some difficult phrase. He ex- pects to go to Boston University, there to add to his fund of knowledge already acquired at Durfee. The class wishes “Gene success in the difficult prob- lems that will present themselves at the school of higher education. FLORENCE JAMES We wonder, if besides astronomy and geology, Florence likes dancing best of anything? It seems to us she does, because at all the dances we see this black-haired, dark-eyed young lady! Her views in geology are usually revelations. We never even think about such things. Tennis is one of Florence's favorite recreations and she surely does wield a lightning racquet! “Laugh and the world laughs with you is her motto and she surely lives up to it. Here's hoping that she may always dance and smile long after she leaves B« M. C. D. 60 0 TWENTY-TWO JEANNETTE ELIZABETH JOHNSON Jeannette has one of those wuzzy bobs and a cute mouth—but the eyes—beware! Jeannette hails from Salem. During her first year in the Salem High she decided that the air of the old “Witch City did not agree with her; therefore, she landed in the Durfee '22 Class, a little darling with long curls. Anyone who goes to the drills and other dances will back Jeannette up when she says her hobby is dancing. Jeannette is a favorite among us all because of her sunny self and witty disposition—she can crack a joke any time. Jeannette goes to Framingham next fall to be a teacher—maybe,—-teacher of what? IDA CLARICE KAUFMAN Kauffy” “Kaufdrops” Vivacious and frivolous, generous and optimistic —these are the qualities that may be attributed to “Kauffy,” one of the jolliest members of our class. However, her chief characteristic is her beguiling smile. No matter under what gloomy conditions she may be, though her smile may fade for an instant, yet like sunshine after rain, it reappears. Ida's hobby is dancing. Oh, how she can dance! She is happiest when in the “land of jazz,” which she considers the most wonderful place on earth. Nevertheless, her intentions are good; she is going to Columbia next year, where she is to become a per- severing student., HELEN GERTRUDE KEANE “Nellie” Record Staff Sh-h! Nellie’s studying and doesn’t wish to be disturbed. We’ll do just as she wishes, for wre do like her; for her magnetic charm has attracted all who have met her at Durfee. In her usual pleasing way, Helen often engages in her favorite hobby, dancing, and was always present at the social func- tions of the school. Her personality has made for her many friends in the Class of '22, all of whom regret that Nellie must leave and take up her studies in some other place of learning. Her future plans are not yet known but we feel sure that Nellie with her pleasant smile will have a very successful career in any course which she chooses to pursue. G 1 EDNA ELIZABETH KEETLEY At the time of Edna's entrance in Durfee, we knew that she possessed great capability for she had the honor of receiving the medal from the Davis Grammar School. Aware of this fact, we expected great things of Edna and she has not failed to ful- fill our expectations. Quiet and demure she is one who possesses as amiable and as sweet a disposition as any member of the Senior class. Much of Edna's spare time is spent in pursuing her greatest pleasure, reading. Her admirable ways are sure to gain a host of friends for her at Bridgewater and elsewhere and she is certain to meet success, through her diligence and capability. MARY ADELAIDE KELLEHER “Mae “Buddy” The class is indeed fortunate in having “Mae among its number. This jolly and good-natured girl entered Durfee from the William S. Greene School with a high record. “Mae” is the sort of girl who takes to her studies while in class, but outside of school she is an all-around good sport. Hiking and camping seem to have a great attraction for her and these healthful recreations account for her rosy cheeks. Having heard of her ability at skating, we do not wonder that it is her favorite hobby. At times “Mae gets very serious and puts her mind on the weighty subject of cooking and—oh! how she can cook! In fact, she intends to become a cooking teacher. GERTRUDE LOUISE KELLY “Gert” Gert is one of our brightest scholars and has made a brilliant record during her High School course. She is one of those whose chief delight is reading. Such taste is acquired by frequent perusal of Mr. Wallace’s selection—the book list. But, we dare to say that occasionally she reads books, not listed there, merely for amusement. Nevertheless, she doesn’t spend all her time on literature. At times she attends a social, but more often her interest is centered in athletics. Next fall she will leave for Bridgewater Normal School where her cheerfulness as a companion and fixed devotion to study wTill win her the choicest laurels of success. 62 Q TWENTY-TWO Q STEPHEN ALOYSIUS KELLY “Steve” Greek Club 4; Forum 4 “Steve’1 is indeed proficient when it comes to Latin and Greek; he is also an enthusiastic participator in events of the Forum and Greek Club. However, Steve has less burdensome vocations than the trans- lations of Latin and Greek. Witness his unquench- able exuberance in the English class. Probably a few will recollect that Steve has a weakness for oranges, n’est-ce pas? Yes, indeed, Steve’s capering in the English class amounts almost to a character- istic. Quiet but quick-tempered and full of life, he has become very well liked by his friends, tie is enter- ing St. Charles’ College next year. FRANK MEADE KENNEDY President of Forum 4; Captain of Debating Team 4 There are so many interesting things to be said about Frank that one paragraph can scarcely con- tain them all. However, he is President of the Forum and Captain of the Debating Team. In the former capacity, Frank has exhibited his executive ability, as it is due to his efforts that the Forum has attained its present popularity with the undergrad- uates. Moreover, as Captain of the Debating Team, he has whipped into shape a team whose force is limited only by the narrowness of its scope. Aside from these serious things, Frank’s versatility is shown by the ease with which he glides around a ballroom floor. No ctass gathering is complete with- out him, as his line of up-to-date chatter is extremely interesting. It is perhaps this witty and wholly likeable side of his character which appeals to most of his classmates. If you were to ask any Senior for a general summary of Frank’s personality, the answer would inevitably be—“Frank's an all-around good scout.” JOSEPH LAWRENCE KENNEDY “Joe” Forum 4 “Joe” is known in the Senior class for his friendly and quiet disposition. He does wrell in his studies, particularly in Spanish and in Mathematics, and therefore should have a very successful career at Worcester Tech where he intends to finish his edu- cation after leaving Durfee. He has made a suc- cess of his career at Durfee ami will be remembered by his classmates long after he has left them to make a name for himself. We predict a very bright future for him, regardless of the calling which he pursues, because of bis good nature and persever- ance. The best wishes of the class follow “Joe” as he graduates from Durfee. 63 0 DVIRFEE § KATHLEEN HONORE KENNEDY “K “Tiny” Forum 4 Eight fourteen and ninety-nine one-hundredths and a very much out-of-breath young lady dashes into school. She doesn’t even bother to make a rush for her session room, for a faint buzz seems to say that right ahead is the way for her. The eight-fif- teen bell—how heart-breaking1. When a somewhat stern voice demands “Why are you late?” Tiny bravely looks up and gives the office force such a sweet smile that it just hands her a “Please Admit” slip. Such is the beginning of K’s day, but after this little drama it continues very serenely. Her sweetness and naivety win her life-long slaves. Yes, slaves is just the word. Tiny’s at every dance, knows all the latest news, the latest fashions and is in fact so up-to-date that she’s an authority on the latest everything. P’raps she'll go to Wheelocks but we can’t imagine Tiny as a school marm. Or p’raps she’ll go to Sargent and if she does we’ll blame her neighbor. Bon soir, “K—itten”! MARGARET KENNEDY Here’s another “all-round” girl. Margaret likes to swim, skate, dance, read, -and she’s a clever student, loo. But Margaret’s chief attraction is her sense of humor. There’s a perpetual twinkle in her eyes as though she were constantly thinking of some good joke. Durfee will not quickly forget the charm of her keen, alert face and pleasing manner, Margaret is going to Normal School next year, and then she will in all probability become a teacher. Her varied interests and well rounded personality make her ideal for this calling. We shall most as- suredly visit her future classes, for we hate to loose sight of her bright, laughing face. FRANCIS WILLIAM KENNEY “Count” Francis, a bright boy of unusually fine physique, came from the Sacred Heart Parochial School. Count claims he is a genius because of his sticking to Durfee for four long years. At any rate he is a genius when it conies to history recitations. Right there at ease, «’everything. Count has a hobby of collecting oriental antiques, hence much of his time is spent around junk shops. He hasn’t told us what he is going to do next year, but we think that on ac- count of his love for antiquity, he is planning to be an archaeologist or the owner of a grand museum. 64 Q TWENTY-TWO ® MARY VIRGINIA KENNY Forum 4; Debating Team 4 Mary was graduated from the Samuel Watson School, where she first displayed her extraordinary mental ability. As a reward for her skill and ef- fort she was presented with a medal from that Grammar School. Here at Durfee, she has con- tinued to show her capability and by her assiduity has gained a high standing, Mary is one of the most diligent and gifted members of the class. It is her good fortune to possess a generous heart and a good disposition. She has been a patron of the Forum and has already displayed unusual skill as a debater. Her interests center in music and she is an excellent violin player. We hope when she enters Brown she will find the knowledge she has secured within Durfee’s granite walls beneficial. JOHN SEYMOUR KENYON During the summer months of 1918, Kid Kenyon spent his time picturing himself in a cadet uni- form, Finally, the clay came when he no longer merely pictured himself, but actually saw himself in his new garb. Kid is full of fun and mischief and because of this, has gained many friends and admirers. However, he is not what you would call an “over-worked” student. When he will admit that his hobby is “ducking work,” you can readily see how fond he is of studying. Whenever Kid is pre- pared for recitation, he makes the fact known. For, it would, indeed, be a most alarming catastrophe to have exerted his brain power for naught. As “to- morrow” is a subject seldom discussed by “Kid,” he has made no plans for his future. GLENA MAYBELLE KING “G” Glena is one of the most cheerful girls of our class. Her smiling countenance makes her a charm- ing person indeed. Reading is her favorite indoor sport. She has been known to read steadily for hours when a book is especially interesting. However, she is a prominent girl scout, and camping is one of her favorite recreations. We all wish Glena luck in whatever line she chooses after graduating. 65 DVJRFEE 0 JULIA KINGSLEY Julia, one of the smallest girls of our class, came to us from the Stevens’ Grammar School, Swansea. During the four years that she spent at Durfee, she has become very well-liked by her classmates. She is one of our brightest girls and we thank the Stev- ens' School for sending her to Durfee. Julia is very fond of skating and she spends much of her time on the Swansea Dam. As she intends to enter Bridgewater Normal School next fall and take up a school teacher's course, we are sure she will be a credit to our class when she joins the ranks of the teachers. WALTER JOSEPH KIRBY “Walt” “Slim” Vice-President 4; Basketball 3-4; Forum 4. Walt, as most people call him, has made a strong- impression upon all of his classmates. His popu- larity may easily be seen by the fact that we chose him as our Vice-President. He has proved himself a good basketball player, being a member of the varsity squad in Junior and Senior years. As a high jumper on the track team, Walt was un- equalled. He claims dancing for his hobby—but we are inclined to believe that it isn’t only the exercise and the “joy of rhythmic movement that lead him to this choice, although he has a reputation for being somewhat un-susceptible, eh, what? Walt ranks high in the scholarship group. He is very fond of drawing and spends much time practicing this out, which he will follow up at Pratt Institute. IRENE RAY KLINE “Rene” “Ra” A good time is always made better when Irene is around. She is a prominent but not conspicuous participator in the happenings in and about school. Irene is an all-around athlete indulging in tennis, basketball and sometimes even baseball. We believe she would not care for golf because it isn’t strenu- ous enough—but that is a matter of opinion, of course. Rene lives in a haven of dreams—the greatest of which is her desire to become a school teacher. When we see her looking off into blank space during a study period, we know she mustn't be disturbed because she is in a world of her own. Framingham Normal School is the next institution to welcome her. 66 @ TWENTY-TWO ® JENNIE AVIS LANDY ltJen” Enter, Jennie! Pause—we-ll, Jennie is attractive, which is one of the reasons for her host of male admirers. The peculiar thing about Jennie is that she is just as popular with the girls as she is with the opposite sex—odd, isn’t it? We must compli- ment Jennie on her excellent violin playing as she is a violinist of unusual merit. She is also fond of sports, giving preference to skating and tennis— when she does exercise. But her favorite hobby is eating sweets—a practice which she often indulges in. She intends to make Columbia University this fall, and undoubtedly she will continue to have one glorious time there—Hot Dog! Just “regardez” the black hair and languid brown eyes. HOPE HO LIN AN LASSEN Hopey” If you haven’t yet made a firm friend of this little lady, you had better hurry or you will miss much in the way of comradeship. “Ilopey claims dancing and swimming as her hobbies while all outdoor sports appeal to her. We wonder if Hope has ever received a tardy slip, for she is one of the first to enter the session room and between 8:00 and 8:10 she may invariably be seen in the dressing room talking and laughing with a group of girls. As her ambition is to wear a Nurse’s uniform, nope will enter a Nurse’s Training School at Boston next year. As a disperser of care and sorrow she will most certainly be a success. ESTHER BEEBE LATHAM “Toots” Record Staff Yes, that was Esther who went down the hall. Quiet and serious looking, did you say? But did you notice the twinkle behind those brown eyes? Her pet sports are dancing and automobiling and from what we hear, we fancy that Esther doesn’t need to be taught how to have a good time. But Toots has her serious side after all. SheTs going to Framingham to learn how to be a dietitian and know all about calories, and fireless cookers, and how much mustard belongs to each hot doggie. And then who knows what the future may hold! Only good fortune and happiness for you, Esther. 67 0 DVJRFEE 0 WARREN WEBSTER LEEMING “Pat” Friend “Pat” claims that driving a machine is his hobby, but we all know that it is night-riding and not tame daytime motoring which he prefers. We are all acquainted with “Pat's” smiling and un- ruffled mien as he patrols the corridors in search of improper actions. “Pat” came from the Lincoln School, but all his former education was not. gained there. He aspires to be an architect and will grace the rolls of Pratt Institute and then Columbia Archi- tectural. With one of his many female companions he is to be seen at all dances in Fall River, in Taun- ton, and in places between. IIow eager the girls are to accompany him 3 CHESTER CLARKE LEES “Chet” Record Staff Although “Chet” came from New Bedford, he has not let this handicap him in any way in his career at this school. Everybody in the Senior class knows “Chet” and admires him for his friendly disposi- tion. He is an excellent student and receives excep- tionally high marks in all his studies. Not long ago he was chosen by Harvard as being the best all- around student who was to enter that institution from his class. He is also a skilled athlete and ex- cels especially in swimming and tennis. Besides all this he is a good dancer and is present at almost all of the school dances. We expect him to make a rec- ord for himself at Harvard after he leaves Durfee to complete his education. SAMUEL GEORGE LESCHINSKY “Sam” “Lash” Forum 4 Here is our noble fun-maker and misery killer. Sam, a Providence boy, heard about the great High School in Fall River, and decided three years ago to come here. Ever since then he has made many friends of both sexes. Happy-go-lucky and always ready for a good time is he. His witty remarks in classes have caused many an uproar. Sam's hobby is baseball and football. We can be well sure of this as he is one of our faithful backers in athletics and can always be seen at the games. Last year Sam ranked as one of the highest in Mr. Wallace's 7:45 customers. As to the future Sam is yet undecided, but we can all be sure he will make a success wher- ever he goes. Here's luck to you, Sam, and don't forget the good times “Old Durfee” gave you. 68 @ TWEMTY-TWO Q VICTORIA ENDICOTT LINCOLN “Vic'’ Editor-in-chief Record Book 4; Hilltop Staff 3-4 In the literary circles of Durfee, “Vic” is the password. Class etymologist, encyclopedia and rhetorician, critic and writer,—in short a literary genius. Vic’s delicate poems are the cream of Dur- fee’s literary successes. However she does not con- fine her thoughts to writing but frankly admits that she likes to talk, and except when the Aeneid is the subject she seldom denies herself the pleasure. Sometimes there is an innocent touch of humor in her conversations but more often her voice hints of delicate sentiments and charming personality. There arc so few of her type. The most delightful thing about Vic is her irre- sponsibility. Miss Lincoln’s papers arid pencils, books, hats, coats and glasses may be picked up at odd moments almost anywhere in Durfee. She, her- self, is engaged in a continual search for some of them, but even this does not disturb her enviable equanimity. Vie will devote herself to writing after she grad- uates from Radcliffe. MILDRED ELEANOR LINDSAY Dignity, fidelity and charm are the chief charac- teristics of the personality of this young lady. Well may she be termed the possessor of a winning smile, a harbinger of mirth; school itself is not a dreary place, after all, if Mildred’s name is among those present. However, she brightens other halls besides Durfee’s, for she is one of the shining lights at the school socials. Dancing and a particular cadet can lure her from home on certain Friday nights. But Mildred does not forget her studying; her choice studies are found in the list of Tech subjects,—the Domestic Arts. For that reason, she hopes to enter Framingham in the fall. KATHERINE LOMAX Record Staff; Greek Club 4; Secretary of Forum 4 When the ballots were counted for the “Class Characters” we weren’t at all surprised to hear that “K” was almost unanimously elected the most bril- liant girl of '22. As a student, and especially as a classicist, “K” is a wonder. Latin seems to come as naturally to her as English. And as an ardent sup- porter of the Greek Club her enthusiasm knows no bounds. “K” also is very gifted in the use of her own language. Not only does she write remarkable verse (which invariably betrays the influence of the classics), but she is something of an orator! She is the Secretary of the Forum, a position which she holds very capably, and with great dignity. Yes, there is no doubt that Katherine is brilliant. But she is something more than this. Seldom does one meet with a nature as sweet and line as that of “K” Lomax. We have never heard her make a mean or “catty” remark. We believe her to be utterly in- capable of doing anything underhanded. Her hon- esty and sincerity, her sweet and trustful nature will be remembered forever by the Class of ’22. 69 0 D VJP FEE @ LYDIA DORTHEA LOUIS “bad” “Lite” “Pinkie” This is the famous Miss Louis (better known as just Lydia) whom everyone in High School has at least heard of if not become personally acquainted with. She says she will wind up at Bradford Acad- emy and while that is not as near Williams as it might be, it is certainly better than here—so she believes. Now we were just pondering—what will she do when she leaves that “brain factory”? Well —we still wonder! When it comes to social life Lydia shines and her vacations are simply—we can't describe them. They even leave her tongue-tied! As for a hobby Lydia likes golf and we would specify what kind if it were not for the censor—she is also fond of dancing (we believe her I), swimming and tennis. And when Lydia hits the trail for any point near or far we’re all on the spot to wish her “Bon voyage.” JACOB LOVIT Jake’s indoor sport is asking Dad for money. Rather a good idea, isn’t it? However, Jake is in- terested in other things as well. Some day he won’t have to ask for money, but will have a great quan- tity of his own, for Jake has the initiative necessary for a man to be successful. Picture Jake in a beauti- fully furnished office of his own, with numerous stenographers, clerks, and little office chaps ready to do his bidding. And a good-looking private sec- retary—? But seriously, Jacob is a line ambitious boy who is a “good fellow” and a sincere friend. He indulges in practically every sport which interests the aver- age boy and is a staunch supporter of all Durfee’s organizations. Jake’s equanimity and good nature will lead him to do “big things.” ALICE LUBINSKY Record Staff; Forum 4 Alice’s bobbed hair and petite ness argue for their owner a mind not too concerned with serious things. And that indeed is the case, for Alice is refresh- ingly light-hearted. But she possesses the ability— unfortunately rare—to appreciate the intellectual as well as the merely entertaining. She has an under- standing appreciation of good literature and careful composition. Her own oral and written work is remarkable for its terseness and clear organization. Alice’s appreciation of the artistic extends to music also; and this is her greatest interest outside of school. We have only to note her determined drill- ing of words to surmise that her technique must bo well toward perfection; and we have only to know her to realize that her playing cannot be without, feeling. Alice is planning to attend some Normal School next year, most probably Bridgewater; and she will also continue to specialize in music. 70 0 TWENTY-TWO © CHARLES LUBINSKY Forum 4; RECORD Staff Those who do not know Charles intimately are really mistaken when they class him as a “quiet boy,” for he is always ready for a good time. In the term “good time” please omit dancing because that is one form of recreation which Charles detests. Much sympathy should be given to the friends who are trying to influence him to learn that popular pastime. However, his idea of enjoyment is to spend a day with the fellows or a few hours at the piano. He has gained quite a reputation for his piano playing. Many people have predicted that he will become a musician of note. He intends to keep on studying music even though he is going to the Bradford Durfee Textile School next year. The Tex- tile School will certainly welcome Charles because he is a clever mathematician and a faithful worker. IDA BERNICE LUBINSKY Forum 4; Record Staff Picture a petite, amiable, curly-headed miss bus- tling through the spacious rooms of the Truesdale Hospital. There Ida intends to go next year to train to be a nurse—a nurse whom any patient would be happy to have. Friendly and sympathetic, she has a way by which she can raise a person from a state of despondency to one of cheerfulness. In outdoor life, when skating or coasting, she is just a jolly, unaffected girl who is ready to enjoy the finer things of life. These are the characteristics which we have ap- preciated in Ida during our four years, and we are glad that in the future others will enjoy them as we have. CECILE SARAH LUSES “Cec” “Lucille” “Patsy” At the beginning of her Sophomore year, Cecile left Durfee to invade the Lansing High School, Michigan, where she became so disgusted with the criticism of her New England accent, and, at the same time, with the strange dialect of the natives, that she longed to return to Durfee. Fortunately her wishes were fulfilled, and in September, 1920, as a Junior, she gladly rejoined the class of 1922. Durfee was certainly pleased to welcome home this wandering miss, as she is a generous, steady, self- possessed student who, although fond of dancing, seldom indulges in it. Moreover she is a competent typist who will be a credit to any place of business. 71 0 DVJRFEE @ RAYMOND JOSEPH LYNCH Glass President 4; Forum 4; Greek Club 4; Hilltop Assistant Editor-in-Chief 3; Debating1 Team 4 The meeting will please come to order! You now behold our Class President, Raymond Lynch. For four years Raymond has labored unceasingly for the good of the class. He has been deeply inter- ested in every school activity since the days when he was a lowly Freshie. The Forum, the Greek Club, and, until his other duties made it necessary for him to abandon it,—the Hilltop have all been helped to success by Lynch. His forceful, energetic per- sonality is felt continually in Durfee. in short, Ray is a born leader. Although Ray is art excellent student, swinging a course that includes such ponderous subjects as Latin, Greek and Math, one instinctively thinks of him, not as a scholar, but as a man of affairs. When one watches the efficiency and ease with which he controls the destinies of ’22 one realizes that he was intended to be a statesman. Next year, Raymond goes to Holy Cross to get in practice—and then— well, a United States Senatorship isn’t such a wild guess after all! EDITH MAC LACHLAN “Mac” “Ed” Here’s one good sport! We hand it to “Mac” for being the original gloom chaser and always on the spot with a wise crack. Graduating from Westall, this young brunette came to Durfee and has made one lasting name for herself when it comes to popu- larity. Just ask any of our football heroes of 22 who “Mac” is—that’s all! At every one of our dances she is to he seen having the time of her young life with one of her very numerous male friends and oh—how she can dance! As for school the words “Mac” and “good time” always go together; and the best part is that she comes out on top in her studies, too! We all know she’s going to continue this brilliant career next year at Bridgewater and everyone wishes she'll visit the old town every chance possible. DORIS LUCILLE MACOMBER “Dot” “Dorrie” “Mac” Here comes little “Miss Artist” herself. We well remember back in our Freshman year at our party when “Dot” received the prize for designing the best symbol for the Civics Department. Just think— when “Dot” is graduated from Durfee and even from college, little Freshies will be shown and told about “Dorie’s” design! “Mac” says her hobby is reading, but. we know she does this only when there isn’t any skating or swimming. “Dot” has the art of making people envy her when she comes to school in the winter and tells us about being out skating at 5 A.M.—some sport, “Dot”! She intends to enter the Rhode Island School of Design next year, and soon we’ll be wearing clothes designed by her or else hanging her pictures on our walls. Happy days, “Dot”! 72 TWENTY-TWO RICHARD WARREN MACOMBER “Mac” Baseball 3 Just to remind us that the metropolis of Swansea still exists, “Mac” came over to Durfee. He has taken the Technical Course, and made good in his studies. While doing well in school, he has been creating for himself an enviable reputation as a baseball player. It is a common belief among base- ball fans that a good pitcher is not a good batter. However, “Mac” has proved that there are excep- tions to that rule by making the highest batting average for the 1921 season. Warren is a quiet, industrious chap who is well liked by everyone who conies in contact with him. Although he likes all out-of-door sports, skating and hunting appeal to him much more than the others. He has not informed us regarding his future aspira- tions, but we know that he will continue to get high averages whether they be for batting or for some- thing more important. ETHEL NORA MADEN lt Teddy” Ethel is an example of the rule that all plump people are good-natured. By her happy and gener- ous disposition she has made many close friends. “Teddy” never becomes vexed or agitated, but is always enviably calm and serene. Skating and dancing' are her favorite amuse- ments and she is always considered a jolly partner. We wonder if oral compositions are another of her favorite pastimes. Zat so, Ethel? FLORENCE URSULA MAHONEY “F oss” “Flossie” Record Stall Many may rise above her in stature, but they had better not try to do it in Latin. Four years didn't seem too long to “Floss” to spend on this study either. And she certainly can do Virgil, Florence is rather shy in school (except when she's called on to recite) but outside she's an all-round good little sport. But. we mustn't forget to mention’her ability in French. A’s in that subject are a com- mon occurrence with “Flossie,” Next year she will be startling the professors in some New England College. 73 0 DVJPFEE 0 MILDRED MAKER “Mitzie” Eyes that glisten with frolicsome pleasure, ebon curls which rival Terpsichore's own! What more could a fellow wish when he sees this little maiden gliding along a smooth waxed floor And what’s more, dancing is her hobby. Rut don't get the idea that she does nothing but jazz. Movies have a great attraction for Mitzie. Perhaps it is such things which give her a gay and carefree expression and enables her to have a decided influence over us in our downcast moments, tending to drive away the Stygian gloom of the long school hours. Let’s give her a rousing cheer. Durfee, and may she carry a ray of sunshine to Miss Neal’s School. GLADYS ARLINE MALL A LIEU “Btibby” Much laughter has been heard and many a pleas- ant word has been uttered since Bobby came to Dur- fee. Her hobby is having a good time and we might add, giving others a good time too. We should hesitate to call her a grind for it seems im- possible for Bobby to take life seriously. To see her in the halls talking and laughing with a group of friends would prove that study is seldom uppermost in her mind. We only wish all girls had a similar disposition. But why conceal your future inten- tions, Bobby? Doubtless you intend to surprise us some day. EVERETT H. MANCHESTER “Ev” “Manny” Record Staff; Forum, Vice-President 4; Football 4 Ev’s sojourn at Durfee has been a search not only for knowledge but also for news. We may be skeptical about the knowledge, but we must admit he certainly can collect news. When Manny wasn’t using his six feet (height, that is) treating them rough up on the Alumni field, he was down at the News office pounding out our little school scandals on his typewriter. If you want to get anything in the line of past history, go to Manny. Ev is also one of our best athletes, in the foreground in games as in everything else. On the Record Staff he has been an independent, prompt, and helpful worker. He intends to enter Brewster Academy, then the School of Journalism and Columbia University. Ev, indeed will win success if anyone will. P. S.—We have neglected to mention another most important thing about Ev—his dancing. Su-u-blime. 74 0 TWENTY-TWO RELENZA JULIA MANCHESTER Forum 4; Record Staff A whirlwind rush, a perfect “wiz” of a shot, a breathless pause—the ball rolls tea singly around the edge of the basket—a graceful drop ami an- other goal is made! A tall girl, eyes sparkling, cheeks glowing, and bobbed hair flying, trots back to take lip again her position at center. Ree-e-lenza! Can she play basketball? Well say she can. We feel that we’ve done this young marvel a great wrong in not providing a team in which she might have displayed her powers. Rut there are plenty other ways in which she does exhibit them. An out- door girl is she. Whether it's swimming, skating, coasting, or a long hike on the open road, Relenza’s always there. And she’s there m more ways than one way, too. Relenza is the life of every party, full of pep and mischief and always ready with clever repartee. And dance! There is none quite like the long and languishing Relenza. Next year this “gem of ours will be at Rhode Island College. ALYRE ALBERT MAECOTTE “Pierre” At” “Doc “Marc Maybe the moguls of Yale won’t feel sore when they hear that Pierre is figuring on going to Tufts Medical instead of the New Haven institution. After getting Mac Aldrich, Yale naturally feels that she has the claim to all athletic material from Durfee, but Pierre fooled them. Pierre has captured letters in three branches of sports, baseball, basketball and track. Besides being active on the athletic field, Pierre has a weakness for the ladies, and of course to go with this, he is a good dancer, and is present at all the high school socials. It is rumored that, but for the efforts of Pierre, the Cadet Corp socials would be a flat failure. Four years from now when he hangs out his shingle announcing the opening of Doctor A. Mareotte’s Dental Parlors, we predict a great success for Pierre, as his “pull” lias always stood behind him. ETHEL MAE MARSDEN “Billy It would be l ather a difficult task to find a more agreeable, amiable, jolly girl than Ethel. Always looking for fun, she finds it and succeeds in keeping our worries away. Be it outside of school or even in those classes where silence reigns (theoretically speaking) Ethel’s laughter can be heard. Amid the din of our typewriters, we see our “Billy” working a mile-a-minute and at the same time relating some funny incident which occurred to her while hiking our well known hill. With as pleasing a personality as that, we are sure that Ethel will brighten up all those with whom she may come in contact. 75 DVIR FEE 0 JESSIE FLORA MARSHAL If we judge from intellectual ability here is one of our shining lights. Her four years’ stay in Durfee has brought us to the conclusion that were we to search the whole commercial course we couldn't find a girl better known or better liked than Jessie. She is ‘ quiet in manner but resolute in deed.” Perhaps the latter quality accounts for all the A's she has received. Her report card will bear witness to what we say. So we extend to you, Jessie, the best wishes of the class for whatever you undertake next year. And keep up the good work! Durfee is proud of you, Jessie. ANNA GERTRUDE MASON Although Swansea may be considered a small town, nevertheless if produced a person of note, Anna Mason, a dark haired damsel of the Clerical Course, Even if Anna may be seen joking with some of the opposite sex, she doesn't let them interfere with her -work at school. Anna is one of those girls who shows us just what's what in fashion. Like us other mortals, or a little more so, “Swansea” just loves to dance, and we aren't a bit surprised either when we consider her skill in that art. So, good luck, Anna, for future success. ELIZABETH CLEARE McARDLE Beth” Among the students that will represent Durfee at Bridgewater next fall is Beth, who intends to be- come a teacher. Well is she suited for this vocation, for she earnestly believes in strict discipline. She indeed, is one who can honestly say she has never violated the rules of the high school. In a study period Beth, at all times, is busily occupied with her work, which she does with a faithfulness that should be admired by other less enterprising stu- dents. She is a gentle, peaceful girl who claims that her hobbies are dancing and reading, but we think that she usually prefers the latter, because we rarely see her at a dance. It will interest her friends to know that Beth graduated from the John J. Mc- Donough School. 76 TWENTY-TWO WILLIAM STEWART McCOWAN “Stuie” “Mac Football 3; Captain, Football A ; Baseball 2, 3, 4 “Ki Ki Ki Shirt. That saying: represents only one of “Mac’s adventures on the gridiron, and we foretell many another for our husky football cap- tain. Rugby does not end his abilities; he plays baseball and basketball, too. “Mac’s head has not been turned by all the glory that has been showered upon him; on the contrary, he is very modest and unassuming. If he charges studies at Yale as fiercely as he does an opposing line, we see nothing but honors on the horizon, “Mac” was famous even in the bygone days of grammar school as a plung- ing halfback and an air-tight shortstop. Perhaps Yale will have another “Captain Mac from Dur- fee; we are sure she will. Dancing is another of “Stuie’s” accomplishments, and he glides over the floor with remarkable ease. Good luck, “Stuie.” olive may McGovern “Granny” “Pass in Poofs” Olive has begged us not to “slam” her on her nick- names “Granny” and “Puss in Boots,” and so this is ail we intend to say about it. But if Olive will look over her glasses, and will wear rubber boots, she may not expect us to ignore her nicknames. She is specializing in household arts and spends most of her time sewing, studying plans of bungalows and taking care of children. Next to cooking and sewing she likes zoology. After she graduates she intends to specialize in the care of poultry, for she is interested particularly in “Setters.” Who can tell where and what she will be in 1925? JAMES FRANCIS McMAHON “Mac” This young fellow entered Durfee on that mem- orable morning in September, with the rest of us. “Mac” is a quiet, unassuming chap who seldom puts his thoughts into verbal expression. Although he has not been a member of any of our school organi- zations, he has been identified by many as a good sport and valuable friend. He claims baseball and football as his favorite pastimes. The fact that he excels in both makes us wonder why he has not yielded a helping hand to Durfee. ' But, without doubt, he would have succeeded had he made the at- tempt. The best, wishes of the class are extended to him in the work he wrill undertake at Holy Cross next year. 77 0 DVJRFEE 0 HELEN FRANCES McMANUS '‘Mac” Nursing Club Ever since her entrance to B. M. C. D. “Mac’’ has been popular among her classmates She is a very sociable and loquacious girl, and is especially enter- taining and amusing. She has been secretary of the B. M. C. Durfee Nursing Club, which was organized in “Mac’s'7 Senior year. Along with the other mem- bers of the club, Helen has accomplished some ex- cellent work. Dancing and skating are her favorite pleasures, so she says. But we are inclined to think that she is fond of school, since she has given her- self a life sentence in its behalf. For it is her in- tention to enter Framingham next fall. THOMAS HENRY MeNERNY “Mac” Mac holds the record for being the most frequent tardy pupil. Every morning at 8,15 or considerably later, he will be seen rushing madly for his session room. Tom, however, is of a reckless nature and nothing so mild as a few hours after school can scare him. Most of his friends can state that Mac holds a record for fearlessness and no dare is left open if Mac is within hearing. His hobbies are studying and hockey playing. He he is an able pupil, an “A” card is quite the thing at the end of the term. When Mac leaves old Durfee this year, he will take with him the good will of the entire class. CHRISTOPHER MELLO “The Sandy Beach Pirate” To those who are in the habit of visiting that world renowned summer resort called Sandy Beach, we issue a warning. There are pirates operating along those shores. “Christy” is one of their num- ber. We would say that he is a good-natured, indus- trious fellow who makes it a point to do his little tasks to the best of his ability. He takes much de- light in thrusting his thumbs into his vest pockets and debating the topics of the day. Everyone has his hobby, but “Christy” has a rather unusual one, that of horseback riding. It is his ambition to con- tinue his studies at Tufts next fall. 78 a TWENTY-TWO HATTIE CAROLINE MICHAUD “Hurry” Hat” Hattie is one of our sweet “little town” girls. For four years she has traveled all the way from West- port up to the Big City” which contains Durfee. During- this time Harry has made herself very pop- ular—do we like her? Well—Hattie is original as a rule, but in one thing she is like the rest of us— she loves dancing, Hattie is tall and slender and has very attractive hair and eyes. She would make a stunning farmer- ette; we wonder if she is going to be one. At any rate we know that a girl of Hattie’s type cannot re- main secluded. TESSIE BERNICE MILLER “Tests” “Tessibelle” We have often heard it said that some little people have just got” to be heard. This one certainly has justified that statement for Tessie, for four years has made the class sit up and listen to her and her ideas. Her manner of speaking makes us believe that she will some day be a second Jeanette Rankin and will make herself known throughout the coun- try as a leading politician. Yet withal, Tessibelle has made many acquaintances during her time here and her friends predict that when Tess leaves Dur- fee she will have a very successful voyage on the sea of business. CHARLES MANUS MORAN “Charlie” Charles is one of the most popular Seniors. Why not? His accomplishments are many arid varied. First, he is an enthusiastic athlete, boxing being his favorite indoor sport. As for outdoor sports, skat- ing appeals particularly to Charlie, because of its er—possibilities. Then, again, he is one of the lunch period’s best soup garglers, and will compete with all corners for honors in that line. Charlie was so flattered when his classmates elected him cheer leader, that he forgot to attend the following game. However, he attended them afterwards, and ted the team to victory by his good work. Charlie is a tire- less worker in any good cause. This is proved by his high marks in all his subjects. Besides, he is studying upon the “exams” for Worcester Tech, which he plans to enter next year. Good luck, old man! 79 0 DVJPFEE 0 THOMAS SMITH MOHAN 'Tom” Football 3, 4 Ah, here we have an athlete! When thus you're looking “Tom” in the eye (if you have the courage) just glance above his right eye, and there you’ll notice a “trade-mark” which proclaims him a foot- ball hero. “Tom” is very popular among his “fella critters” and if he makes his “debut” at Rennsaetaer next year, that school will be able indeed to con- sider itself fortunate. “Tom” is undecided about going to Rennsaelaer because of the many offers he has received from prominent colleges on account of his clever showing at football. We warn Mac Aid- rich to look to his title when “Tom” begins. “Tom” has the good wishes of all his classmates and they promise to be present at all his games—if he’ll send them the tickets! Just look at him grinning at his “big brother” and then you’ll know his admirable personality. HELEN MORGAN Smiles” Was anyone speaking of smiles? Let me tell you that that is Helen’s middle name. Did you ever see Helen pass by without her displaying her dimples or relating the latest gossip. Nevertheless smiles go a long way, in fact it is the thing that makes life worth while after all. Helen, you know, brought her sunny disposition all the way from the Fowler School. Did you know that in Helen we have a profes- sional tennis player? On many a hot afternoon, Helen may be seen working with all her might to score and with results of a fine one too. After this exercise Helen enters into a movie house to see her favorite actors and actresses and you can just bet there’s not a good picture that gets by her eye. Helen’s ambition is to be a regular school marm. ALICE GONZAGO MORRISSEY “Ar Here you see “Al” a member of the Normal Divi- sion and although quiet she is well-liked among her friends. She hails from St. Louis’ School, and since arriving at Durfee has become a most conscientious pupil. “Al” has a great liking for reading and we hear that she sits up until 12 P. M. reading any- thing from dime novels to Shakespeare. In spite of this “Al” does not let her lessons go unstudied, for she is known to be a good student. Like many others of our class she intends to become a school ma'am. Bridgewater is the next chapter in the story. 80 @ TWENTY-TWO Q WILLIAM C. MOSS “Fishy” This young man is known in most social circles as “Fishy ’ We are prone to think that “Fishy” has a sweet tooth, for there is a rumor to that ef- fect. However, this has not prevented him from bowling, and he has made this a hobby. “Fishyhs” plans incline toward Northeastern College, and we most sincerely hope that after his college years, he will come forth full of as much vigor and “pep” as he has today, filled with book knowledge, and ready to right the World's wrongs. LOUISE GENEVA MULCAHY “G” Louise is known throughout the high school as “G”. She delights in out-door sports of all kinds, especially skating, which she has made her hobby. We can picture her first learning the art of skating. If she makes the same graceful lines with skates on ice as she does with a pen on paper, we may well praise her. Geneva intends to go to the Palmer Writing School. Every line she writes will either speak for or against Durfee, and we know that “G's” writing is excellent. ALBERT BENJAMIN MULLEN “A I” “Mac” “Long Boy” Basketball 4; Asst, Business Manager of Record Book Al, one of our basketball stars, is a genial and popular all-around good fellow. Besides being an athletic star he is also a “wiz” when it comes to writing compositions in English. Those composi- tions sure are interesting! Included in the repertoire of this “jack-of-all-trades” (or rather Mac) is a de- cided business ability as is demonstrated by his good work as Assistant Business Manager of the Record Boole. When Al enters Massachusetts Nau- tical School next fall he will be a praiseworthy rep- resentative of the Class of '22. SI 0 DVJRFEE 0 EDWARD FRANCIS MURPHY Murph” Right Shoulder Arms! Here� right in his element we have Lieutenant Edward F. Murphy, a bright, smart, lively, high-spirited sort of fellow, and he certainly is good at his job. While in High School Murph has been an enthusiast for military drill, be- coming a corporal in his Junior year and jumping to First Lieutenant in his Senior year. Girls are the least of Mur pH's worries although there is more or less truth in these “girl who lives next door” re- ports. Already we must admit he shows signs of weakening. We hope that Murph will become even more considerate of the fair sex when he goes to Lynn Electrical School and we heartily wish him success in that line as well as in his chosen work. ESTHER VIVIAN NAGER “Es” Vivian” “Es” is a very promising young lady. She is dili- gently endeavoring to become some important man's private secretary and we sincerely hope that all her hard work will not be in vain and that her interest- ing plans will materialize. Esther is not idealistic, she is practical—she is not a dreamer but a doer. She is refined in both her tastes and in appearance. A sweet and jolly disposition, a pretty face, a true friendliness—all these qualities make Esther so lov- able to all who know her. Esther is fortunate—she is endowed with two supreme gifts—intelligence and personality. All her teachers and friends say that it is a pleasure to know her and we can vouch for the truth of this statement. May you be happy and con- tented all your life, Esther! DORIS NEWHALL “Dot” Outside of studying, DoFs aim in life is to have a ripping good time. In our Sophomore year Dot was a very meek little thing; but during the ensuing summer months a miraculous change took place, and Dot came back to school a full-fledged flapper. Since then she has regularly attended every dance and social event within a radius of ten miles. Her popu- larity knows no bounds. As a proof of this we have the fact that Dot was voted the best all-around good scout in '22. Of course there are many kinds of good scouts, and Dot is all of them! Dot's friends will find that life has l«st much of its interest when Dot packs up her pep and goes away next year. 82 0 TWENTY-TWO ® EDITH MAY NICHOLS “Nick” Some men are noted for their inventive ability; most women for their curiosity. But have you ever heard of anyone noted for a laugh? Surest thing! “Nick ’ We know her, too. Most everyone does. But a ide from a contagious giggle, our “Nick” is especially noted for something else. Yes, it’s her oratory. She’s sure some orator. If it’s Dickens, she “orates” ’till she's stopped, but if it’s current events she makes ’em short and snappy. Oh! and de- bates! She loves them. She’s the best critic in the English department and although she won’t admit it, picking themes to pieces is her especial hobby. Wellesley is fortunate in enrolling “Nick.” LENETTA HATHAWAY NICHOLS “Toodie” Lenetta is one of those enviable people who can deliver an oral composition almost nonchalantly. A whole class of staring eyes is nothing to her. She is very quiet but there is something about her which makes one like her. Hence, she has many friends. As she is a member of the Camp Fire Girls, her favorite amusements are camping and hiking. We wonder if that is what makes her so healthy hook- ing. Toodie, as she is called by her immediate friends, is having difficulty in deciding where to re- sume her studies next fall. Framingham looks good to her. LOIS NICKERSON Isn’t it awful the way some people like to walk the corridors? But sometimes “Nick” doesn’t get there in time to do anything but dash into the room at 8.14%! But we'll say that she is one good scout and fond of—well—almost anything. If Lois is headed up New Boston Road there is a game on and our dance would be amiss if she were not present to trip the light fantastic. Though the general sup- position is that “Nicky” had the best time in her Junior year what, wasn’t the attraction there this last year? N---, well, we won’t say it! Boston will surely have a much livlier aspect next year as Nicky says she will attend “some school” there— which one—not yet decided. 83 0 0 DVJRFEE MARION BAKER NICKERSON “Blondie” “Nickie” This young lady well deserves the name Blondie, for she is surely the blondiest girl in our class. She says that her hobby of hobbies is tennis, but we have heard it rumored about that she is a very talented singer; so her hobby ought to be singing, and we hope that her real ambition is to sing. Never- theless, she asserts that she is going to be a tele- phone operator. At any rate, her voice is bound to please. Among Nickie’s other pastimes are danc- ing, swimming and boating. JAMES NICOL “Jimmie” “Jim” “Nick” One never can believe what one sees but one can always know when one hears Jimmie coming. For Jimmie always heralds his approach with a hearty laugh that begins at the bottom and works up. This is one of the reasons why Jimmie is so well liked among the pupils and the faculty. But Jimmie’s crowning point is his ability to assimilate history. Jimmie is right in his prime in the third period when he is relating to Miss Foulke’s attentive class that Mason and Dixon were the two squarest men who have held four-year sessions in the White House. Last year he charmed Miss Chaee with his account of Nero riding around the streets of burning Rome in his eight lung Ford. They say that Nick can sling a mean line in the electricity class and we do not doubt it in the least. Jimmie has quite an eye for the fair sex and may be seen in action any sum- mer on the beach at Oak Bluffs. Where Nick will go next year is a matter of much speculation among his many friends but we predict that in a few1 more years Nick will be giving Mr. J. Leo O’Gorman a hard rub for his berth. MARY DONALDSON NICOL Have you ever in a last desperate attempt to find material and in a hopelessly discouraged frame of mind, turned your weary steps toward the refer- ence room at. the Public Library? Then has a nice little miss with a quiet understanding smile and a confident air listened to your troubles and brought you just the books you needed for that vague his- tory topic or bothersome debate? It's happened to all of us. What could we have done without Mary? Good old scout! Like many others, Mary realizes and has experienced the joys of the great outdoors; and every summer you’ll find her in camp, as full of fun and as ready to help as ever, whether it’s chopping wood or doing “K. P.” In the winter sweet Mary plays basketball and ofi how she can play! 84 TWENTY-TWO JOSEPH CARTER NOBLE “Slats” Captain, Cadets 4 Behold Captain Joseph Carter Noble. He joined the Cadets as a lowly private when he was a Fresh- man. But, after calmly walking off with all the medals he proved that “you cannot keep a good man down,” by rising to the rank of captain in his Senior year. Besides being an efficient drillmaster, “Slats” is also a good student and an expert base- ball player. As a catcher he has few equals and no superiors. Carter is of a quiet disposition but is able to appreciate a good joke. In the “lab” Carter is absolutely at home. He can make the elusive ions sit up and beg! He is keenly interested in chemi- cal engineering and so, after he leaves Durfee he expects to continue his studies at M. I. T., where he should gain renown for the same characteristics which have made him esteemed by his classmates at Durfee. EMILY MARGARET O’BRIEN Record Staff Emily will long be remembered by her classmates for her quiet, amiable, and meek nature. She is a very intelligent and competent girl. Although we know that Emily likes walking, still we believe that reading is her preferred hobby. The time spent on her favorite pursuit has already gained a re- ward for her, because of the fact that she has become conversationally charming. Her speech is bland and dulcet, while she herself possesses a charming and effectual personality. Whether Emily is waiting to hear her future decreed in the pro- phecy or not we cannot answer, but we do know that she will succeed if she retains her love of duty, her simplicity, and her sunny disposition. FRANCIS AUGUSTUS O’BRIEN “Obic” “Frank” “Frankie” Greek Club 4; Baseball 3, 4; Forum 4 Frank O’Brien and baseball are synonymous words. Frank has proven himself a very clever player during his two years on the team. As a fel- low, Frank has gained the good will of all his class- mates. Possessed of a cheerful disposition he has made many acquaintances during his career at Dur- fee. As a basketball player Frank has also achieved fame, playing on his class team for two years. “Obie” claims Greek translation as his favorite pastime, but that’s too funny. We are strongly in- clined to think that he really prefers baseball, Frank intends to enter Holy Cross next fall and if we are right it won’t be long before we hear that “Frank O’Brien, star Holy Cross player” has been offered five or six contracts for the “big league.” 85 0 DVJRFEE 0 FRANK D. O’BRIEN Fink” Frank appears to be a quiet and unassuming fel- low. But ask him! He wouldn’t agree with you and maybe he’d tell you of his fondness for the Rialto on snowy days (and maybe sunshiny days, too.) “Fink’s” a whizz at baseball, at which game lie’s developed a lot of “speed.” Skating is one of “Fink’s” hobbies, and he’s not in the “figure 8” grade either; he's way ahead, Frank has a wonder- ful “sense” of school spirit; he can be seen at all the games cheering “pepfully” for Durfee, and if he isn’t cheering, he's plugging away on the team for the success of his side. And he declares he’s going to keep up the plugging part next year at some Scientific College, Go to it, Frank. JULIA FRANCES O’BRIEN “Jute” “O’Bie” Cheery, cheerful Julia! Don’t we all just love to have her around? Doesn’t she make all those hard Math and English lessons seem a lot easier merely by telling us what she thinks of those heartless in- structors, who saddle us helpless Seniors with such awful lessons? Jule is good company in misery and in more pleasant conditions. And she can swim! If you want to see a real mer- maid just give yourself the pleasure some fine day of watching Jule enjoying some of her favorite water sports. Let’s hope Julia has loads of time next year at Fitchburg to enjoy her favorite diver- sion, besides doing faithfully all her studying. JOHN EDWARD O’CONNOR “Jack” Forum 4; Picture Committee “Jack” appears to be one of these happy-go-lucky chaps with a real bright smile always on his face. He ranks well in his studies but would surely re- ceive an A plus in mixing his “Coca Cola’s,” Jack has made a host of friends during his high school career, especially since he is the manager of a drug store. After school hours we find him in his place of business, serving his friendly customers with much geniality and generosity. Next fall “Jack” will enter Exeter, where he will acquire fur- ther knowledge, and from which he will proceed to Harvard. Good luck, “Jack!” S6 @ TWEMTY-TWO © CHARLES LEONARD O’NEIL “Lenny” “Charlie” Forum 4; Business Manager of Record Staff Lenny with his everlasting smile and jovial way, has become one of the most popular fellows of our class. He believes in outdoor sports where he can develop himself physically; consequently his out- door hobby is swimming. If Durfee had a swimming team Lenny would bring home all the honors. We don’t know whether or not Lenny is considering the English Channel as his next playground but we’re sure he would “come through” if he did decide to try it. Lenny is also fond of dancing for as he ex- pressed it “One needs a little amusement at times.” However, we’re sure he doesn’t starve himself for the price of admission. In future years we won’t be a bit surprised if we see Charles Leonard O’Neil, Esq., one of the leading attorneys of Fall River— or maybe Boston or New York. We hope Lenny has as much success at Holy Cross as he has had at Durfee for he surely deserves it. LOUISE BORDEN O’NEIL “Peggy” Since Louise invaded Durfee she has worked un- ceasingly to give the faculty, the pupils, and herself a good time. Not that she is unduly forward! Louise is nothing if not modest and retiring. In spite of these unusual qualities, Peggy is one of our best little heart-breakers. Ruthlessly she darts coy glances at unsuspecting males and—? The deed is done. However, Louise is a devoted bookworm and almost any time one sees her carrying old and in- teresting volumes of Scott, Foe, or Stevenson. It is not to be doubted that she is exceptionally well in- formed about every branch of the arts—music, liter- ature, motor ears—past, present or future. Louise plans to besiege Boston next year via Miss Wheelock’s Kindergarten School. ISADORE MAURICE OSIASON “Si” Si is a quiet, good-natured fellow and he has lots of pep. Although Si’s disposition is by no means boisterous, lie has made many friends during his high school career. This modest student possesses great power of concentration and hereafter, when he is at Harvard., we know he’ll be successful. His avocations are automobiling and dancing, and he is a wonder at both. Si seems to be very fond of Latin, too, but since he is not alone in this tend- ency towards the classics, and since he has success- fully withstood four years of it, we have nothing but praise for his learnedness. 87 0 DVIRFEE 0 DONALD PORTER PADELFORD “Don” Don is one of the brightest chaps in the school. Even at the Westall Grammar School, his class- mates looked up to him as being the smartest in the class. Often you would hear some pupil say, “I wish I could study as little as Don and yet know the subject as well as he knows it.” Besides his scholastic abilities, Don is also an athlete. Baseball, swimming' and basketball are his sports. As a base- ball player, Don is a corking fielder and batter. Don can certainly swim and dive. During the summer vacation Don is often found enjoying the cool waters at the Hummock. We are all sure that Don's ath- letic and scholastic abilities will be an asset to what- ever college he enters next fall. HELEN CHARLOTTE PADELFORD Helen's most noticeable attribute is her wonder- ful good nature. She is always smiling, friendly and eager to make people happy. Her sweetness and unfailing good cheer are by-words in Durfee. She is blessed, too, with a sense of humor that will carry her far through life. At the school dances Helen’s blond “bob may be seen sailing gaily around the hall, and at such times the owner looks as if she were having a glimpse of paradise. Out-of- door sports, however, are Helen's true hobby, and above all swimming is her chief joy. Helen isn't quite decided about her plans for the future but Durfee surely envies the next place to which Helen intends to bring her radiant personality. KENNETH ROGERS PADELFORD “Ken” Ken, upon entering Durfee, chose the Technical Course. While pursuing knowledge along this line, he was very prominent in machine shop, drawing, and forging. He is indeed very apt in all mechan- ical art. When Ken came to Durfee he soon made himself at home. He became prominent in athletics, being the pitcher who caused the downfall of New Bedford High School in the “New Bedford-Durfee game” of last year. Next year he intends to even better his record as a pitcher. Ken’s hobby is mo- toring and he is one of the most skillful drivers. {Dodge). In the future we expect to hear of him charging through some technical school. 88 TWENTY-TWO 6 ANTHONY JOHN PANNONI Tony” Greek Club 4; Forum 4; Orchestra All hail our class musician! As a violinist “Tony” is in a class by himself. Through his musi- cal talent he has become a popular member of the Durfee Orchestral Club. He has been no less suc- cessful in military life, having attained the much- coveted commission of second lieutenant in the Cadets. “Tony” is a quiet, industrious fellow who has always acted in a way that is a credit to both Durfee and himself. He is very popular, especially among' the Cadets. Naturally, he is more at home with his violin than with anything else. We don't know his intentions for the future. Perhaps he will be playing his “fiddle” in the Empire ten years from now. Any- how, we extend to him our sincere wishes for suc- cess in his undertakings. ETTA KATHLEEN PAQUIN “Kitty” When Zephyrus on a September day bears to our ears the sound of the school bell, a gentle yet ef- fective clarion summoning Youth to school, it will usher Kathleen still further along the path of ora- tory. We shall miss the patience with which she has worked and her skill which has made us more ambitious. But it is such things as these that will win for her success in elocution. Often in her leisure hours she may be seen indulging in reading, her fav- orite pastime. And she doesn't restrict herself to deep books either. Kathleen will enter the Leland Powers School of Oratory next year. OLIVER STEWART PATTERSON “Pat” Record Staff Pat is one of the best liked boys in '22—and there's a reason. He always has an easy-going smile and he doesn't seem to know what gduom is. Pat is a good student, too, and is a shark in French. It is a treat to hear him conjugate a verb. He is not only a shark in French, but is also a shark in the water, for Pat is a fine swimmer. His good nature and helping hand will be missed by us all, when he goes off to Worcester Poly tech next year. If people win success by their smiles, Pat ought to be way ahead in this world, for he certainly has a wonderfully pleasant grin. 89 DVJRFEE EVERETT FRANCIS PHILLIPS Orchestra Ev claims that his hobby is skating, but our per- sonal opinion is that Ev gets more pleasure out of devising ways and means to pester Miss Carrie Foulkes than he does out of any other sport. We have always noticed that he is a faithful attendant of the high school dances and he—you know what we mean. As for his performances on the ice, we have it from reliable sources, that he is a wonder on skates, Ev is another one of those musicians from the Fowler School, who are a source of pleasure to Mr. Titcomb, as his playing on the trombone has won him a chair in the Orchestral Club, that he has occupied for three years, Wentworth Institute has a strong call for our future. Sousa and ho wishes to announce to his many friends that they should ad- dress their letters to him there next year. BELLA POKROSS “BeW We do not often find a girl who is fortunate enough to possess both an amazing intellect and a disturbingly fascinating personality. Belle is the fortunate lady in this case. She is so kind and nice that one can’t help but like he!1. She is the kind of girl whom everyone would call “a perfect dear.” Belle is the cleverest girl in the commercial division; both teachers and pupils can verify this statement. Yes, she is remarkably clever. But studying doesn’t take up all Belle’s time. She enjoys dancing', she is fond of reading, and she is interested in all that de- lightful nonsense in which the average flapper in- dulges. Belle deserves all these compliments and we know Durfee will be proud of her in the future. BERNARD MORTON POLISNER 1 Barn ey “Bernie” Who? What? When? Where? Of course; it couldn’t be anyone but our old friend Bernard Mor- ton Polisner; or rather Barney or Bernie to those of us who are fortunate enough to be on familiar terms with our future Bantam weight Champion of the World, Of course, even now Barney could take the laurels from the state champ but that really would be too easy so Barney intends to wait for more glorious honors. And that isn’t all either, for Bar- ney is to take up engineering at Harvard and some- time in the near future when you pick up a paper and read about a bridge built across the Atlantic by a successful young engineer, just smile proudly, and say, “Oh, yes, I always knew Barney would be a success. 90 TWENTY-TWO GLADYS MAE POLLARD “Glad” “Polly” Gladys came from the N. B. Borden School in time to graduate from the Highland and from there to join the class of '22. “Glad entered the commercial division and became one of its bright and shining lights. Once a week “Polly” wears a certain dress decorated with merit badges of alt descriptions, and chains with knives and can-openers 'n everything attached to them, which assures us that she is an enthusiast e scout Scouting and dancing are “Glad's” hobbies which help to make her such an all-round girl. “Polly” plans on furthering her studies next year in a Business College, and we know that success is ahead of her. HULDA POOLE “Hully” Hully is the vivacious member of the class. She’s one of those who are so alive that one can’t feel dopey while they’re around. Hully never made a commonplace or boresome remark in her life. Her hobby is characteristic of her—football! Not watch- ing other people play, but playing, and she’s a won- der at it. At the dances, who’s the girl that's always rushed? Hully of course! No wonder Hully is more than a splendid dancer. She’s a most desirable partner at anything. Hully is leaving us for Vas- sal . Few students have ever left Durfee who have been missed as she will be, Won’t you ask a few lonely little Durfee boys up to your proms, Hully? RACHEL ELIZABETH POOLE Forum 4; Orchestra “What a quiet, peaceful, demure little girl Rachel is! Say no more! You have proved that you don't really know her. Quiet, peaceful, demure—? Yes, Rachel is all those things but her friends never seem to connect them with her. A keen sense of humor, the ability to be a good sport under trying circumstances—these are the traits that her friends think of as being truly Rachel’s. Rachel is really a wonderful dancer but she .says that her hobby is basketball. This is a stroke of luck for Mount Holy- oke, who will, in gaining her, find not only a clever student, but a strong athlete. Oh—-and one thing- more! Rachel has never had a nickname. Will someone kindly supply her with one? 91 DVJR e NATALIE POPXIN “Nat Record Staff Natalie is the type of student who does her work thoroughly and faithfully at all times. She has, moreover, a certain amount of pluck which predom- inates her whole character. No task is too difficult for Nat to attempt and she does not abandon it until she has completed it to her own satisfaction. That may be the reason why her home-made candy is al- ways a success. If anyone has ever tasted her cara- mels, he will surely admit that they are delicious. Natalie’s hobby is dancing and you can be assured that she is no wall-flower when she attends a dance. Natalie is going to dance her way into Bridgewater Normal School next year, and after that who knows what good fortune may befall her? MINNIE MILDRED PRESCOTT “Shimmy” “Minky” “Toots” Other than in the group of her intimate friends, Minnie is a quiet girl. Since she has always minded her own affairs, she has succeeded in adding a num- ber of A’s to her credit. When not occupied with her studies, she is often heard playing the piano. How she does play on this instrument though! Will you show us how you do it, Minky? Hand in hand with her love for her music is her love for the thea- tre. Regardless of weather or crowd, Minnie man- ages to be amongst those occupying the front rows. In spite of the fact that Minnie is undecided about the future, we think she is bound for the business world where we wish her success. MONROE H. RADOVSKY Greek Club 4; Orchestral Club 2, 3, 4; Hilltop 3, 4; Forum 4 Radovsky is without doubt the most brilliant mem- ber of our class. His astounding versatility im- presses us more every day. As a mathematician, classicist, writer, musician, critic and conversation- alist, Radovsky excels. The pianist of the Orches- tral Club, teacher of modern Greek to the Greek Club, head of the Durfee Hilltop’s literary depart- ment, member of the Forum—One grows quite breathless in enumerating Radovsky attainments. Radovsky’s little gems of satirical verse are counted among the chief assets of the Hilltop, his short tales give promise of his becoming a second de Maupas- sant. His verbal criticisms of literature, society and the arts, both in the outer world and as exemplified in Durfee are the spice of our conversations. When he has left Harvard we expect to hear remarkable things of Radovsky. There is little doubt that his genius will be recognized elsewhere, as it has been here. 92 © TWEMTY-TWO © LEONARD BEELY RASMUSSON “Razz” “Benny” Lieut. Cadets; Forum 4; Advertising Manager Record Book; Hilltop 4 This bright young man is Benny. ’Tis well, he deserves the adjective, bright, for Benny certainly is bright and if anyone does not believe it, let him look at Benny’s card. Razz joined the cadets in his first year and his proficiency was such that he is now a lieutenant. He seems to have chosen the right course in taking the Scientific, for he can certainly rattle off trig and solid.” We all know' that Razz has many hobbies, but the chief one seems to be dancing, for he is always to be seen at the drills, hopping around. This scientific young person in- tends to make a prolonged study of mathematics at M. I. T., next year. Well, good luck, Benny. ARLINE PALMER RATCLIFFE “Honey” Honey entered Durfee with about as much noise as usually attends her—which isn't much. This quiet- ness of hers, however, detracts nothing from her lovableness, but rather adds to it. Arline’s favorite pastimes are reading, parties and going to the games; thus she has spent many hours either watch- ing the thrilling feats of her football team or quietly reading. Arline’s ambition is to be a teacher. What kind we don’t know, but since she is one of those rare persons who can really sew and cook (wonder of wonders) we think that she will continue her domestic studies. JENNIE FRANCES REAGAN “Jen” If you wish to meet someone who is really sunny- tempered and happy-go-lucky, take a look at Jennie. She has the prettiest hair, the sweetest smile, and the naughtiest eyes. Boys, beware! Excepting as- tronomy (when do you indulge in it?) Jennie cares most for dancing. At every drill, at all the dances, you’ll find Jennie gliding gracefully with some young Apollo. We’re wondering, Jennie, if you’ll do quite as much damage at Rhode Island College as you’ve done at Durfee the last four years. To hearts, we mean. 93 DVJRFEE CLEMENT ANTHONY REARDON Forum 4 Clement came to Durfee from the Stevens School in Swansea. Now, in his Senior year, he has a very unusual niche in our school life. For, be it known, Clement is regarded as one of our foremost athletic critics. He attends all our school games, and can always be heard rooting for old B, M. C. D. Any- one who wishes to examine his good judgment in things athletic, should read the articles he contri- buted to last year's Hilltop. His pet hobby is base- ball which he can play as well as criticise. Brown college will undoubtedly welcome this sociable chap as one of its worthiest Freshmen next year. His conscientiousness in all lines of study has earned him the good-will of us all. THOMAS HILTON REDFERN “Tom” “Red Thomas Hilton Redfern, known to us as Red and Tom, is especially interested in all outdoor sports, and considers these his hobby. After leaving Durfee, Tom is going to face the world of business, and with the start at Durfee he expects to attain the heights and play an important part in our nation's great industrial machine. We feci sure that success for Tom will be spelt with a big “S’ for with his pleas- ing’ personality and good qualities of character, he cannot help but be a credit to Durfee as well as to the lesser schools from which he has graduated. CHARLES EBEN REED, JR. “Mutt” “Ebij” “Charlie Assistant Advertising Manager Record Staff The Highland Grammar School presented “Mutt” to us and we can never fully express our gratitude for him. He is certainly popular and a dance with- out “Eby is not considered successful. The way he moves his shoes would bring words of admiration from a wooden Indian, and if said Indian were fe- male she would desire to head-start in a “ladies' choice.” “Mutt writes his college intentions as Amherst University (not agricultural, although he can get rhythmic movements from the lambs and chickens). Dancing does not occupy all of “Mutt's time; for the past year and a half he has been a noted figure on Bedford Street and is already hailed as a budding cotton broker. 9 4 0 TWENTY-TWO @ ALMIRA REYNOLDS Here is at least one girl who was never anxious to do her hair up, Almira's black curls have always been the envy of other girls. A quality which we all may well envy in Almira is her energy. In the morning we see her eating up the distance between home and Durfee with rapid strides and after school we see her hustling home in the same energetic way. We can picture her mind always busy with plans for things to do. Almira is enthusiastic also in Camp Fire work and she is always depended upon for games, hikes, suppers, parties, and the really hard work, too. Almira's determination and her will to work will help her always to accomplish in- teresting things. THOMAS RAYER ROONEY “Tom “Doctor” Sergeant Cadets 4 When Tommy Rooney came to B. M. C. I), for the first time, he brought his cheerful personality and happy-go-lucky manner with him. For four years, his classmates have gloried in his charming disposi- tion. Tom is quite a joker and has put pep in many of our social functions by his likeable grin and his ready wit. But, he has his serious moments. He is especially interested in the cadets and their doings, and while the rest of us go to the drills to try to dance, Sergeant Rooney calmly walks away with first honors in the drill proper, for Tom has become the champion medal winner of the class of '22. With such ability this young military wonder should try for West Point, but he announces he has no college intentions. Still, we are inclined to believe he'll be a soldier some day. WINIFRED ROOT Greek Club; Executive Committee 4 “A girl scout is cheerful A girl scout is loyal A girl scout's duty is to help others. Winnie is truly a good scout! No one in Durfee has seen her grumpy, or heard her make a mean remark about anyone. She is rather a quiet girl, but one realizes after a while that she’s thinking all the while; and when she does speak, we all stop to listen, for its bound to be worth listening to. But Winnie isn’t only a quiet philosopher. Winnie’s a true out-of-doors girl, too, and she is never happier than when she's in camp, or taking long hikes in the country. Next year Winnie is going to Jackson, and when all that reserve force of tier's is turned loose we expect to hear wonderful things of her. 95 0 DVIR FEE 0 SOPHIE RUDOLPH “So” Hail to the girl who put the “C” in clever! Sophie certainly has brains and we can vouch that her grey matter has many tiny wrinkles—because Sophie has the distinction of being able to think. You people who have seen her studying and studying and who probably think her a grind, would be greatly sur- prised to learn that Sophie is just full of fun. Sophie’s hobby is reading and she can rattle off authors at a terrific speed. Sophie is well-mannered and has what French term “savoir faire.” She in- tends to enter Bridgewater Normal School and wc are quite sui e she will be as well liked there as she was at Durfee, STOYAN WALTER RUSSELL “Rnss” “Longlegs” “Good-looking” “Stay ’ Sergeant Cadets You can readily guess that Sir Stoyan gave in his own nicknames; we won't comment ourselves on them, however, since they are so personal. We do know that he has left a trail of broken hearts be- hind him. He claims to be quite wild, and even has a habit of getting gray slips from the office for bis terrible misdemeanors, but everyone knows his ten- der heart. “Russ is undecided as to college inten- tions but says that some university will be graced by his tall and handsome form. The Highland Grammar School gave up this pupil. How could they ever have let him go? MARY LOUISE RYAN Bonnie” Mary is full of fun and the smiles which you will always see on “Bonnie's face betokens her good nature. Although Mary is a happy-go-lucky sort of girl, still she is a capable student. Because of her jolly and cheery temperament she is well liked by her classmates and is able to afford them much pleasure by her merry spirit. Mary intends to further her education by attending Bridgewater Normal, where we hope she has much success. Mary's hobbies are skating and dancing so you may be sure that Mary won’t he studying all the time next year. 96 TWENTY-TWO ARTHUR SAMUEL SACHS Art” “Satie” “Sacksy” Record Staff; Forum 4 “Sachsy,” a very quiet fellow, has gained, through his pleasing personality, a host of friends among' his classmates. He is possessed of remarkable musical ability, having played two years in the school orches- tra. Fellow classmates have stated that “Art” ranks second only to Fritz Kreisler. “Art” has also natural baseball ability with which he, unfortun- ately, was unable to aid Durfee’s team. It is quite probable that had Art” had the chance to pitch, Dixrfee would have won every game. Sachsy” is particularly fond of dancing and may be seen in evidence at all school socials. When he dances he has a movement like an Elgin. Brown University will secure in Arthur a very clever baseball player but better still a real fellow. MILDRED SACKNOFF “Mollie” Mollie looks collegiate, acts collegiate and soon will he a collegian—very soon indeed. Mollie just loves to live in New York and that is why she is going to enroll at Columbia. She, no doubt, will have loads of fun out there, even more than she has here and that is saying quite a good deal. Mollie is good- natured, sometimes she is too good-natured. How- ever, she is rewarded by the appreciation and good- will of her many friends. Wherever Mollie goes she is sure of a good time. The credit is due to her. She is always happy, is fond of dancing, is a fine con- versationalist, and never boring. Mollie likes the opposite sex but who doesn't? Well, Mollie, you are undeniably a sweet girl and you have our heart- iest wishes for future success. ROSE VERONICA ST. LAWRENCE “Laurie” Record Staff; Forum 4; Hilltop 3, 4 Laurie is seldom seen taking a book home so we often wonder how she gets all her A's. We con- clude that it must be due to natural brilliancy. She is pensive at times, and on these occasions her favor- ite diversion is reading. Laurie certainly deserves a medal for her two years of faithful service on the Exchange Department of the Hilltop, Rose spends much of her time in outdoor sports. In win- ter, skating and coasting are her favorites. Swim- ming holds first place in her line of summer sports. Rose intends to enter Bridgewater next year, and if she works as diligently and as faithfully there as she did on our Record Staff her future Alma Mater wall have every reason to be proud of her. (Editor's Note—We wish to add most emphati- cally that Rose’s assistance on the Record Staff was indeed invaluable and well appreciated.) 97 0 dvjrfee 0 YVETTE STE. MARIE “Babs” B’our years ago when Yvette finished her grammar school education at the Susan II. Wixon School, she heard Durfee’s call and accordingly responded. She joined the commercial division and has been so well satisfied with her studies that she now intends to continue this branch and become somebody's stenog- rapher. Though Yvette has been a quiet and in- conspicuous member of our class, she is very well liked by all who know her. Babs says she is so fond of dancing that she really thinks it is her hobby. WINIFRED LOUISE SCOTT “ Freddie” Winifred, better known to all as “Freddie” could not resist the thought of a good time at Durfee. Be- cause of her genial and amicable nature she is ad- mired by all. Beneath her cheery countenance shines a very enlivening spark of humor. “Freddie” is an athletic girl and is especially fond of basketball. We regret that we have no team for the girls in this, her greatest pleasure. We feel certain that she would be a faithful and loyal captain and would be able to gain such followers because of her friendly and pleasing manner. It is “Freddie’s” wish and intention to enter Brown. We know that success is destined to follow so capable a girl. GLADYS SETTERS Gladys is an “out-of-doors” girl, who loves ath- letics of all kinds. Someone has hinted to us that besides being proficient in all the more “young lady- ishM sports, Gladys plays baseball; and although we’ve never seen her do it, we’re sure from her other athletic achievements that she’s a wonder on the dia- mond. Although Gladys always pulls through her courses very comfortably, she is not a studious “grind,” and we never find her bent over her books by choice. Gladys is not at ail the type always seek- ing' the spotlight. She does not care to be a prom- inent character. Rather, ’way back in the Susan H. Wixon School, and all through her career in Dur- fee she has shown a preference for her own pleas- ant circle of good friends to fame and publicity. We do not know what Gladys’ plans for the future are, but we predict that she will go through life as she has gone through Durfee, easily winning success, and quietly making friends. 98 TWENTY-TWO MARGARET CLIFFORD SHAY Secretary Greek Club 4; Associate Editor Record Staff; Forum 4; Hilltop 3, 4 How can we, the class of ’22, thank Margaret for the time and labor she has put in on our RECORD Book? We realize what we owe to her, but are at sea as to how to repay her. Has anyone ever seen a person more versatile than Margaret? She does everything from running the joke department of the Hilltop to taking third-year Greek. Take notice everyone! Three years of Greek is no easy job! If we had our way she would get a special diploma. Rut M. C. doesn’t spend all her time doing RECORD Book work or Greek. She is a good athlete. You ought to see her swim. No matter how high the waves or how cold the water, Margaret just dives right in. She likes moonlight swimming’ too; espe- cially at Horseneck. We really don’t see how Dur- fee will get along without Margaret. We are ter- ribly worried about the joke department of the Hill- top. What Junior could compare with Margaret C. Shay ? We hate to think of what our class would have done without her. MARGARET MARY SHEA “Peg” Picture Committee Did we hear someone mention dancing?—well, that’s Peg all over, for she is some slick dancer. Also when it comes to sports—just watch her play tennis! She is very well known and liked at Dur- fee, also in the Big City—we hear —where she spends many vacations. This sporty brunette is in great demand for amateur theatricals in which her lerpsiehorean ability has won much favorable com- ment. Judging from her out of town correspondence maybe Peg will soon flit to the Metropolis. But wherever her next stopping place may be, we knowr she’ll make a gang of friends and that they will ap- preciate her-—as we could never forget her. MARY CATHERINE SHEA “Mae” “Kid” Forum 4 Mary used to breeze into school every morning with a greeting that was a greeting, and a smile that was a smile. She is the sort who gives us the re- freshing reminder that there really are a few sin- cere people left in the world. We like to tell Mary about the easy time she has had Senior year—tak- ing only four studies. But we can be sure that those subjects were done well. Mary's hobby is dancing. We know that, for though Mae’s eyes twinkle all the time, they twinkle most when she is dancing. She is going to the Boston University next year. Again we ask, “Mary, is it B. U. or Boston you’re after?” 99 DVJRFEE NORMA PATRICIA SHEA Tye” “Tiny” Forum 4 Dainty, demure, bobbed-haired little Norma—pe- tite, trea petite, but extremely lovable. Can’t you just imagine what her hobby would be? Nibbling Page and Shaw’s while she reads the latest fiction (“The Shiek”?) Or, maybe dancing, just barely touching the tips of her dainty slippers to the floor while she floats, really floats along. But we strong- ly suspect that Norma’s real hobby is writing notes, and incidentally diaries. But Norma isn’t always frivolous, far from it. A very versatile little miss, very! She studies Spanish, English, History, Math., anything—just as well as she dances. And Norma will be able to skip lightly but just as thoroughly through the work at Bridgewater next year as she has this year. WILSON R. SHERMAN “Fat” Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4 Wilson is one of our most popular fellows, thereby proving the statement that everybody loves a fat man.” Fat's jolly disposition has won the regard of his classmates, but the teachers have learned to re- gard him because of his attentiveness and con- scientious studying. His hobby is radio” in which he has become quite an expert. His intimates have formed a club known as the Radio Club” of which he is a most prominent member. However, to the gentler sex, he is known as the possessor and driver of an automobile which comes into use after drills 'neverything. Almost any day, after three o’clock he can be seen manipulating his Rolls-Rough through the streets of our glorious city. His college intentions are as yet dubious, for like—who was it —Caesar or somebody?—he believes in letting the future take care of itself. FANNY SHAPIRO Curley” “Fan” Fanny is an interesting individual and youth personified. Her happiness, her sparkling vivacity, and her sense of humor arc three admirable traits in her character. One can’t be morose when Fanny is around; she just makes one feel gay, and care- free. Because of her agreeableness and desire to please, “Curley” has gained many grateful friends. She is the kind of girl who would feel at ease any- where for she is very sociable and yet not too so- ciable. N’est-ce pas? Bridgewater Normal is her future goal and she has our heartiest wishes for lots more fun to come. 100 TWENTY-TWO MARION ELLEN SILVERWOOD “Blondy” “Dutchie” “Cutie” This little person designated as “Blondy,” no doubt because she is blessed with an abundance of luxuriant yellow locks, can be seen from day to day hurrying through the corridors of Old Durfee, busily occupied with thoughts of the day’s lessons. She is fond of dancing, and is interested in skat- ing and in miscellaneous outdoor sports. We won- der where Marion manages to get so many nick- names. “Dutchie” and “Cutie” are among the num- ber. This young lady has lofty aspirations of going to Simmons College. Well, Marion, we wish you success at Simmons as a representative of Durfee. NANCY CARENO SIMMONS “Nance” “Sim” When Nancy Careno leisurely strolled into Dur- fee prepared to digest any chance knowledge that came her way (oh, yes, Nance, your reputation fol- lowed you from the Westall) we welcomed her joy- ously for our Sim’s happy-go-lucky motto is “Why worry?” Nancy’s hobbies offset each other—danc- ing and knitting—one for the serious moments of life and one for the frivolous. Besides Nance’s nat- ural desire to follow in the footsteps of her name- sake, Nance O’Neil, (off stage, of course), she is also thinking seriously of becoming a kindergarten teacher and we would really like to hear of her pro- gress in that line while at Bridgewater. ALLAN SMITH Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Sergeant Cadets 4 And here is Allan, the most versatile member of the class. Music, electricity, journalism—no matter what field you consider, you will find that Allan knows all about it, and is highly skilled in it. Be- sides being a talented musician, Allan actually writes music. And he can be so frightfully techni- cal about electricity that we uninitiated souls can’t understand a word of the conversation. He has been a successful journalist, too, for some time; and considering his constant good humor, quiet man- ner, and ready tact, we should like to recommend him for a high diplomatic position. However, Allan has decided to go to Harvard, where he will study engineering. We once heard him say “There's no fun in being in anything unless you’re at the top”— and no matter what he attempts, we know that he won’t stop until he reaches its highest pinnacle. 101 0 DVIR FEE Q DANA SMITH “Shorty Business Manager Hilltop 3, 4; Football 4 Let us introduce to you the honorable Dana Smith, business manager of the Hilltop. Dana has a grin like a little boy who’s always up to some- thing, A good definition for Smith is: A little hit of Senior entirely surrounded by change. Dana has two hobbies; one for summer, one for winter. In the summer he swims. Just ask anybody from Tiver- ton if he can’t and see what a reply you get. And skate! His long legs would get him anywhere, witness: 8.14 in the morning. 11' we don’t envy him then! After leaving Durfee, he intends to go to Tufts. Good luck, Dana. RICHARD SMITH “Dick “Smitty” “Schmidt We first became aware of “Smitty's” existence when he entered Durfee as a Freshman, Since then he has made himself popular with the Senior class because of his unfailing good humor and friendly disposition. Once having met him it is impossible to forget him. He tells us that his hobby is ice hockey. This may be so but he is also some dancer” and popular with the ladies. He may be seen at all the cadet drills dancing with the best of them. We hope to hear more of “Dick” from Clark College of Worcester. In whatever he may take up as his life’s work, we predict for him a great career. RUTH E LOISE SMITHSON Ring Committee Enter a joyful giggle closely followed by Miss Smithson. Does Rufus ever stop laughing? We doubt it. There never was such a cheerful girl in Durfee. For further particulars, inquire from Miss W-------d! Ruth would rather dance than do anything else in the world. She would rather even dance than read her pretty school books. Can you imagine it? And even more incredible it is rumored that a large number of young gentlemen from Dur- fee would rather dance with her than do their lovely Latin prose. Seriously, if one can be serious over such a merry person as Ruth, sheTs a most popular young lady, who has laughed her way into all our hearts. Next year she’s going over to Brown, to find out what a lovely joke college life is. Incidentally, Brown is going to find out what a good friend our Rufus can be. 102 TWENTY-TWO EDWARD HENRY SMOLENSKY “Eddie” “Ed” Illustrious class! Still more and more of our bright lights appear. Everyone likes Eddie. This young man has always taken part in all school ac- tivities, being1 especially interested in athletics. Al- though he is not a member of our athletic teams, he is an enthusiastic supporter. Of course, successful teams must have ardent supporters. Ed doesn't miss one cadet drill and when there he doesn't miss one dance. Consistent that’s him all over. Some tod- dler! Besides having education in his feet, he also has it in his head—extraordinary, yes? Boston University is Ed's next destination. REBECCA JUANITA SOBILOFF “Smiles” “Rivi” Record Stalf; Forum 4 In the cycle of human events many people with pleasing personalities are met; but there arc some who have a special trait which sets them apart from others. Thus Rebecca, with her charming person- ality, has, to distinguish her, individual speech and fascinating manners which win her many friends. When “Rivi” is among her acquaintances, she is al- ways the center of attraction -the center where plans for social activities are originated—and like a butterfly she flutters here, there, and everywhere, She is gifted with unusual musical ability; her sing- ing and dancing have gained for her a leading part in many an amateur show; and her piano playing has indeed brought her into prominence. With such extraordinary talent, it is no wonder that she is going to the New England Conservatory of Music next year, where, no doubt, she will become a pro- fessional musician. MILDRED A R LINE SPENCER “Pinkey” “Buddy” Mildred is one of those girls who possess both a sincere and sweet personality. Everyone will tell you she is good-natured, due to the fact that a smile is always visible on her fair countenance. Her win- ning ways add greatly to her popularity both in school and at the dances where she is seen toddling or fox-trotting with a certain cadet appearing to be in the seventh heaven. You probably don't know7 that Pinkey is that diver who is the envy of us all. Why at times we just can't believe our eyes at the marvelous aquatic stunts performed by Annette Kel- lerman's second. After graduating Durfee, Mildred expects to enter Framingham Normal where she will learn how to teach little ones to be good. 103 0 DVIR FEE 0 JOHN HENRY SPRINGER, JR. “Blondy” “Jack” Forum 4; Greek Club 4 John Springer,—who does not know this popular boy? His bright, sunny smile is known all through Durfee. Jack, or Blondy, as he is sometimes called {we wonder why) says dancing is his favorite pas- time and we do not doubt it as we have “been shown.” For, whenever there is a high school so- cial, Jack is one of the prominent figures (never in the background). Jack claims that be has never missed any athletic contest all of the time that he has been with us and we do not doubt his word as we know that he is a fan of the rabid variety. After leaving us, Jack intends to enter Holy Cross along with some of his lifelong friends. Needless to say, he has the best wishes that it is possible to give a really popular boy. CHARLOTTE BIGELOW STAFFORD “Lottie” “Lot” Hail, bright light of the class of '22! Oh pardon us, we forgot that she doesn’t like grand speeches, but she does like dancing and that’s where we agree with her perfectly. She is our youngest Senior; her youth is probably the reason for her very sweet dis- position. We hope, however, that we do not ruffle that sweet disposition by alluding to her youth. May it (the disposition, of course) accompany you to the Rhode Island College of Education, where we hope to find you for the next few years, when we need any cheering up, (your specialty). LLOYD GARRISON STOTT “Sherry” This young man generally comes under the appel- lation of “Sherry.” We wish “Sherry” success when he enters the business world since we know that he will be a good representative of Durfee in whatever line of work he takes up. “Sherry’s” nobby is baseball but he is also interested in basket- ball. It has been rumored that “Sherry” is fond of riding and the kind of car he rides in should save his energy tooting a horn at street corners for written on the front is this suggestive name, “Dodge.” May he dodge the dangers and meet the difficulties of life with the weapons of preparedness attained at Durfee. 104 TWENTY-TWO ARTHUR FRANCIS SULLIVAN “Sullie” “Sul” “Art” Forum 4 “Art” is one of the smallest members of our class and has a very good chance of being1 chosen class “baby.” Although small in stature Arthur has gone high in scholarship ranks, being one of the bright- est in the class. Being too small for varsity sport. “Art” has played on many of the class teams and has shown himself to be a baseball player of no mean ability. He claims tennis as his favorite sport and spends his summers practicing in the hopes of sometime being a second Will Tilden. “Art's” name has often been seen in the polo lineups and we have read that “Sullivan” scored all the goals for his team. “Art's” present intentions are to enter Dart- mouth next year and we surely expect to hear much of Mm during his college career. CHARLES NOYES SULLIVAN “Charlie” At Durfee, Charlie has made many friends, all of whom he retains to the present day. He is serious, compared with some of the more frivolous members of our great Senior class and his seriousness makes him enviably different. But he has a keen sense of humor. At the drills and class dances this humor is brought into use and one scarcely recognizes the usually calm, almost severe Charlie. Swimming and dancing are his favorite forms of recreation for an excellent reason—he is exceptionally adept In each of these arts. Charlie intends to enter Massachu- setts Aggie next year. DANIEL AUGUSTINE SULLIVAN “Suit” Those who know Daniel, find him to be a true friend, always ready to help in difficulty. During his four years at Durfee, he has worked hard on his studies. When he is not occupied with his lessons, he may be seen watching intently the baseball games at the Alumni Field to see whether the umpire is correct or otherwise in his decisions. His love for baseball is so great, that during the hottest days, he is seen at the South Park with many other fans, cheering at the top of his lungs for his side. Since Bull intends to go to St. John’s Prep, upon leaving Durfee, let uis hope that he works as hard and as faithfully as he has here. 105 0 DVJR FEE 0 DANIEL JOSEPH SULLIVAN “Danny” “Dinty” “Sully” Greek Club 4; Record Staff “Dinty” came from the Fowler Grammar School to Durfee and we are so glad that he was not de- tained at any other stop. His next station is to be Holy Cross, where we predict he will teach 'em something new. You should see him do the “Chi- cago” and the “Frisco.” As perhaps you have in- ferred dancing' is his hobby and high school dances will be dull without his presence. He is ever to be found walking the halls in Durfee and it is a mys- tery to us how he sometimes gets his lessons. “Dinty” does not claim to be a shark but he's a good fellow and we hope he will take a return trip now and then. LEO JOHN SULLIVAN “Sul” “Lee” “Sullie” Record Staff; Forum 4 Here we see another descendant of the Sullivans. His Royal Nibs� Leo J. We do not need to ask whether Leo is popular ; we need only to investigate why! First of all, because he is a good scout; sec- ondly, because he is a real good scout; and lastly, because he's the best of good scouts. Savez-vous? Leo was always a prominent person at the various cadet drills, socials and other dances. He is very fond of all popular sports, but doesn’t he just enjoy driving his Essex? He may take it slow and easy while dancing, hut it’s quite another matter when he’s in the driver’s scat. It is a well-known fact that Leo is greatly admired by the feminine portion of humanity (and vice versa.) We wonder if the Es- sex has anything to do with that! We wonder! Leo intends to go to college next year and judging from his past he will be more than successful. VERA GERALDINE SULLIVAN “V” “Babe” Vice-President of the Nursing Club 4; B Div. 4 Some day in the future when you feel the flu coming on and want someone to feed antitoxins to you and count your pulse, remember at that time Babe will be wearing the romantic cap and apron. For to be a nurse is “V's” ambition and judging by the enviable ability she has displayed in hei- st udies here, she will make an excellent one. We know that Vera can cook and sew; however, her hobby is swimming and she is willing to race even the World’s Champion. Babe is exceptionally sweet and pleasant. Her smile and bobbed hair form an irresistible combination. Sne intends to enter the Carney Training School for Nurses next year. 106 0 TWENTY-TWO ® WILLIAM K. SULLIVAN “Bill” “ Billy Bill was one of the many students at Durfee who selected the college course as best suited to his am- bitions. Bill thinks of study first of all and then— reading (not for study either). When he goes to Harvard next year we really do hope he finds some books he hasn't read yet, but we really don’t know if this is possible, for Bill reads so extensively. Be- sides being so studious Bill is a born mechanic for say—that boy can take apart his Buiek motor just as easily as he can vivisect a Latin sentence! Here's luck, old boy! HAROLD BROWN SWINDELLS “Larry There is no use talking, we certainly do owe a big debt to the Fowler School; besides sending us a bevy of pretty girls, we are indebted to them for a good many of our accomplished musicians, among them being Larry. In his four short years with us Larry has cemented a friendship that will be life- long, and he owes the largest part of his success to his music, as he calls it. Whether it is the latest ragtime piece or one of the classics, Larry can oblige with his trombone. Harold's college inten- tions have not been made public yet, but we expect to hear of him in some musical school furthering his leaning towards music. Good luck to you, Larry. FLORENCE MATILDA SYKES “Flossie” “Floss” Say, did you ever know a girl who was a whizz at basketball? Take my advice and get acquainted with “Floss. Talk about a guard—-why, she fights like a tiger and sticks like a porcupine! Let me tell you, her team is always bound to win. Indoor sports seem to agree with Florence. Just to see her slide and glide along the floor at drills and dances is enough to make your old heart go pit-a-pat. “Flossie is undecided about her course for next year; but what- ever school gets her will have just reason lor priding itself. Good luck, Florence. 107 Q DVIR FEE 0 MAUDE CHURCH TERRY “Terry” Here’s the girl that’s full of pep! Maude believes in trying anything once and declares that “What men dare I dare,” is her motto, Maude is popular in and out of school and everywhere. One would see “Terry” at the “drills” dancing continually and many were the fellows that couldn’t find room to inscribe their names on her dance card. Note “Terry’s” black hair and merry twinkling eyes and then you’ll know why she loves to laugh, dance and swim, There is only one thing that we can't under- stand and that is her love for Tiverton! Will you tell us, Terry? LUELLA THIBAULT Luella is Neysa McMain the second. She draws beautifully. It’s a pleasure to look at the fascinat- ing ladies that grow beneath her brush; and it’s really inspiring to know that we have a real artist in the class of ’22. Moreover Luella is so bright in her studies that she is as popular with her teachers as she is with her classmates; and that’s saying a great deal. No matter how trying the circumstances, Luella is always imperturbable—and those clear- headed persons are always good to have around. In years to come we shall hear of Luella as a famous illustrator, and her drawings will illuminate the covers of our leading magazines. What a wonder- ful prospect to look forward to! ELAINE LOUISE THOMPSON Forum 4 Elaine is one of the most important members of the class of '22. In the first place, she is a poet. Her charming verses, which often appear in the Hill- top, promise a brilliant future for her. From them we learn much of her character, of her insight and true poetic feeling. Tommy is an ardent member of the Forum and one of its chief supporters. She is present at every meeting, intensely interested and never lacking in convictions. As befits a poet, Tommy has the most mercurial nature that we have ever known. She is always either on the heights or in the depths. She changes from one mood to another with such lightning rapidity that we growT quite breathless in following her. In every mood, how- ever, her sense of humor is lurking just below the surface. She is most impulsive, and—well, Tommy’s nature is a thing that we could expand on forever. It will win her countless new friends and admirers when she goes to Smith next year. And finally, Tommy always reminds us of that line of Brown- ing’s—“She liked whate’er she looked on and her eye fell everywhere!” 108 TWENTY-TWO PHYLLIS KINGSLEY THOMSON “Phyl” “Fliss” Forum 4 Yes, this is the owner of that beautiful golden “bob” you see at the drills and what delightful times she has at ail the dances! But in school, Phyl's deep blue orbs are for books alone and, the result?—an A plus scholar “en tout,” Perhaps— just perhaps, it is possible—she is a wee bit fond of lunch period and what goes with it, n’est-ce pas? How we did miss those brilliant English and His- tory recitations when our trigonometry shark was reposing in the hospital, whiling away the time re- ceiving oodles of flowers, cards, candy, and of course, callers Phyllis always carries away honors where- ever she goes and Mount Holyoke will surely sit up and think when this young lady makes an appear- ance. ALFRED C. THORNLOW “AZ” Forum 4 Talking about dancers there is absolutely nothing to it, ladies and gentlemen, but Al. Of course you know that it is Alfred Thornlow, late of the Lincoln School that we have in mind. Al has every known dancer on this side of the big city beat by Lhe pro- verbial mile, when it comes to tripping the light fan- tastic. All new steps are pie for Ai. Bui, geniic reader, do not get the impression that Al does noth- ing but dance, as that is not the truth. Besides de- voting a little time to his studies, Al spends a large part of his leisure time following the great Ameri- can pastime and he is no mean performer with the glove and bat. Where he shall go next year is a puzzle to Al, but just now he has a leaning towards New York University as it is a co-ed school. ESTHER UDITSKY “Es” “Bobbsy” Short and sweet! Uh, huh, that's Es or Bobbsy, as she is commonly called. It sure is good to come across a young lady who has a charming, delightful personality, and a cheerful disposition. Yes, Es has all those virtues—honestly! Bobbsy claims dancing, swimming and playing basketball, as her three hob- bies—and she sure is some basketball player. She was one of the N. B. Borden “stars” way hack in 1917-1918, when she was in the eighth grade. Esther’s specialty is anything but studying; how- ever she gets the A's. Esther is undecided about what school she will enter next year, but in all pro- bability it will be Boston University. 109 Q DVJRFEE ® ALICE PAY URBAN “Kid” “Mickey” Here's one of our undecided misses, for Mickey doesn’t know what college to attend. But we hope she doesn’t choose one too far away, for we are in no hurry to lose sight of Mickey. Swimming and dancing are the pastimes in which Alice delights, and we can appreciate her choice after seeing her engaged in one of them. We wonder if Virgil Is an- other favorite pastime? We don't know whether it's practice which makes one perfect or the Slade School, but we do know that Mickey is one of our “perfectly popular” Seniors. HOPE EVELYN VAUGHN “Hope” Here's a young lady with genuine school spirit, not expended in one direction, but made to include drills, football and baseball games. For Hope is a true daughter of Durfee, ever ready to say a good word for Durfee and always unwilling to spread a tale in any way detrimental to our school, Hope's a good sport in more than one sense, for Hope's fav- orite sport is walking. You can walk and walk, and you can hike and hike, but—you can't beat Hope! It is to the credit of Simmons that it can win the approval of such a progressive young lady as our lippe I CLINTON HUTCHINSON WALSH “Clint” Making his way four long years ago through the stately doors of the Technical Building was seen Clint. The recollection of that wonderful smile on that ever brilliant countenance made an onlooker at that time think that this stiff and proper young gentleman had attained the height of his ambition. But, not so, during his four years of instruction in our school, Walsh has shown himself zealous, per- severing, ambitious, sociable, and agreeable during his search for knowledge. Although Walsh has these excellent qualities, he is impulsive and ready to gain his point by physical strength if need be. Walshy, with all these qualities you surely can find success and we wish you well. 110 TWENTY-TWO REGINALD GOODRIDGE WELLINGTON “Reggie” “Reg” Reginald is a rather quiet fellow but not too quiet to be well known by his fellow classmates. Skating appeals strongly to him and it’s safe to as- sume that had Durfee possessed a hockey team we surely would have seen the name “Wellington” in the summary. Reg has done a great deal toward making the town of Swansea famous. Being me- chanically inclined, he has chosen Wentworth Insti- tute as the college in which to further his education. We will not be surprised if in the near future we should hear of great mechanical operations per- formed by R. Wellington. AMY WEEDEN When the class of 22 took Durfee by storm, a certain young lady from the country was present who even on that first day won notice for herself by her flashing smile and radiant complexion. It didn’t take us long to become acquainted with Amy. Her pleasant manner and quiet ail' of capability soon made her a well liked member of the technical divi- sion. We discovered her to he a clever student and a brilliant potential housewife, for not only does she shine In the classroom but she is a most efficient cook and needlewoman as well. Amy also proclaims herself to be a lover of books, A clever novel holds a great attraction for her. This finishing touch pro- claims hers to be a well rounded personality that cannot meet with anything but success in whatever walk of life she chooses for herself. THELMA EVELYN WELLS “Thel” Record Staff 4 Whether it be studies, friendship, sincerity or looks, our famous Latin scholar is A! We also be- lieve that she must be inclined toward French, for she certainly starred in it this year. SheJs the girl you can rely on to have assignments, and you sel- dom miss her from a classroom for even a day. As for Thelma's social life outside school, we’ll let the young lady herself answer concerning that wonder- ful Providence trip, “Tickle Me” and how it all tickled her! This Lovable girl has the admiration of all her teachers, and although undecided as to “where she'll go from here,” T. E. W. will not soon be forgotten. Ill 0 DVJRFEE 0 WILLIAM KADISH WELLS “Bill” Imagine Barney Oldfield turned studious and you have a picture of “Bill.” He is one of those rare persons who hold the strange belief that Durfee is a place to which one conies to learn something, and accordingly he actually studies. lie gets enviable results, too� But “Bill” is no grind. He surely knows how to enjoy life, especially if there’s a speedy little buss anywhere in the neighborhood. When “Bill” steps on the gas and lets her go—be- ware, people, beware! “Bill” intends to take a little spin up to Harvard next year. Harvard will gain a real student—another person on whom they may bestow “Phi Beta.” But Main Street will be a lonesome place without his horn wildly honking at the corners. DOROTHEA HOMER WEST “Robin” “Dotty-dash” “Dolly” “Thea” Debating Team 4; Executive Committee Forum 4 Four years ago, “Dot” blew into our midst from the Westall Grammar School and began immediately to make a name for herself at Durfee. She is a valuable member of the Forum and has proved her- self a forceful and influential debater. From her clever contributions to the Hilltop we know her talents also extend to writing both prose and poetry. Besides this “Dot” has attained the unusual honor of being a Golden Eaglet in the Girl Scouts. Robin is, too, a student and wonderful talented exponent of the art of dancing—-interpretive, classic, ballet and—well—every kind there is. Her graceful bear- ing and gestures betray this. After mastering the Secretarial Course at Simmons, Dorothea intends to enter Columbia University to take the Journalist Course. However, whether “Dot” becomes writer, speaker, or a second Pavlowa we know she will be successful. ROSE WEXLER “Ro” Rose quietly entered Durfee and is quietly leaving it. However, during her four years here she has gained many friends who will always think well of her. We wonder what the Rialto would do if Rose should discontinue patronizing that theatre. We hate to give Rose away but .she really is a vehement movie fan. “Ro” claims winter as her favorite sea- son. Shall we tell yon why? Simply because it is the time for skating. Rose graduated from a good school, namely, the Susan H. Wixon. We believe Rose will continue her studying at the Wexler Col- lege of Domestic Science. 112 @ TWENTY-TWO ® EILEEN FRANCES WHALEN ttjn Forum 4 Miss Eileen Whalen, known to us as “I,” makes a hobby of skating along with various other outdoor sports. We are accustomed to see Eileen dash hur- riedly from one subject period to another, carrying a huge stock of books. Upon reaching her seat, she arranges the books symmetrically, and after ex- changing hurried greetings, starts to work. She is soon dead to everything except the problem under solution. “I” is somewhat undecided as to the higher school she will attend, but is thinking of going either to Skidmore, Framingham, or some other school of household arts. That good fortune may follow in your footsteps, Eileen, is the wish of the class of '22. JOHN WILLIAM WHALEN “ Johnny ' “Pip” Forum 4 Personally, it is none of our business, but we wonder how long it mil be before Johnny appears in public in his long pants. But his size means nothing to him as he is active in all branches of sports, espe- cially in baseball and bicyling and, wonder of won- ders, he says that he is a corking good football player. However, we will not doubt his word. “Pip” can boast that he has three times the usual amount of brains of a boy his size, as his average card well shows. “Pip” is proud to say that he is not in the class with the boy who is ashamed to show his marks to his parents at the end of the quarter. “Pip” will be at Holy Cross next year and requests that all valuable parcels be forwarded to him at that ad- dress. THOMAS SHERMAN WHITE Tom All the way from the town of Swansea Tom trav- eled to get an education at B. M. C. D., and to say that wre feel flattered would be putting it lightly. After spending eight years in the Frank S. Stevens School in his native town, Tom decided that he wmuld favor us with his presence and accordingly in '18 enrolled in the commercial course. Tom says that hunting is his favorite hobby, but the girls of his division wilt assure you that his game includes all species of wrild animals; also some of the domes- tic variety known as “chickens,” After he leaves Durfee, Tom intends to further his commercial edu- cation at Boston University, where we heartily wish big things are in store for him. 113 0 DVIRFEE 0 MARJORIE CONE WHITWORTH “Margie” “Marge” Wc are all glad to see “Margie” back with us again. You know, she left us in her Sophomore year to attend the Sacred Heart Convent. We don't know whether it was the lure of dear old B. M. C. D. or the fact that it was a “co-ed” school that vamped “Margie” back into our midst, but we prefer to think the former. “Marge” says that her hobby is music. We wonder if she means studying it or dancing to it; and if so, Mendelssohn or Hardy's Trivolo? Some of us remember that back in the Highland School, “Margie's” ambition was to be a Red Cross Nurse, but now that the war is over, she intends to enter Miss Gibb's School in Providence next fall. GERTRUDE JENNINGS WILCOX “Gert” This quietly vivacious little brunette called Ger- trude must have thought Durfee a worthwhile school or it may be that the list of prospective students at- tracted her. At any rate we're thankful she did de- cide to travel way up to Durfee from Tiverton. For in exchange for the knowledge Gertrude has im- bibed we have had her sweet companionship. Don't forget your old friends for new next year so far away at the University of Iowa, because if you do we'll be awfully disappointed in you and that would never do. ELIZABETH IRENE WILLIAMS “Betty” “Betts” Elizabeth Irene Williams, otherwise known as Betty—it doesn’t seem four long years ago since Betty was a quiet little Freshman, fresh from the Westall; but we realize that it must be, when we look at the dignified height to which she has grown. Yet we all agree that Betty isn’t one of our dig- nified Seniors, but one of our fun-loving ones, for did you ever go to a drill and not find Betts right there “having the time of her life”? Positively, no. And isn’t Betty a real good sport? 114 TWENTY-TWO WILLIAM JAMES WILLIAMSON “Bill” William Williamson, generally addressed as “Bill, is known to be fond of hunting, dancing, and basketball, but has made a hobby of baseball. We enjoy seeing Bill play on the diamond, and his friends at the school wish him the success of Babe Ruth. Hunting may be named as next in order on Bill's hobby list, and we notice also that his hunt for knowledge at Durfee has not been without success. May the benefits he has received from Durfee aid him in his future work, whatever it may be! MILTON ENOCH WINDLE “Windy” M. E. W. is a graduate of the Slade School, where he first learned to make his initials, his mark. His nom-de-plume is “Windy,” perhaps taken from his last name, but then again his speed around the high school may have secured for him this title. IT is hobbies are basketball and dancing, in both of which he excels. “Windy” intends to go to the Massa- chusetts Nautical School and there put the finishing touches on the work of Prince Henry the Navigator, the founder of Nautical Schools. ETTA DOROTHY WOLK Is it easy to picture Etta in a large, clean, tran- quil office, her competent self bending industriously over a typewriter? We congratulate her future em- ployer, for in Etta he will have an efficient stenog- rapher who works with thoroughness and fervor. Etta is refreshing—like a cooling breeze on a warm day. She typifies youth. She is vivacious and yet not boisterous; in conversation, Etta is serious and delightfully interesting. Music interests her and she plays the piano very well. It is a great pleasure to have known Etta, and we wish her every- thing in life that she herself wishes. 115 Q DVJRFEE 0 MARION CECELIA WOOD In Marion, we have a jolly member of the Com- mercial course. When she is not studying, .she may almost always be seen reading, of course not men- tioning what kind. Though, in our opinion, reading and dancing do not link together well, nevertheless we find that Marion is fond of both. “Billy” is a fine dancer and when some time or other, we feel as if we’d like to know how to do that step about which we have either seen or heard, we let Marion know and she comes to our rescue. Marion is doubt- ful as to her future, but we think that she will enter into the world as a stenographer and typist. HAROLD FRANCIS WORDELL “Wardle” Honk! Honk! Honk! Don't be alarmed, friends, this is none other than our old schoolmate “Wardle” driving his car along Main Street. “Wardle’s” four years at Durfee have been a great joy to all of us, especially to the fair sex. “Wardle” himself will tell you his idea of happiness is to be surrounded by a number of “demoiselles.” In spite of this “Wardle is a very faithful student. He doesn’t spend all his time studying and driving his car for he is a regu- lar attendant at all the school socials. He has not yet decided on his future abode but we wish him the best of luck. DOROTHY MAY W RIG LEY Dot” “Dot” joined our Freshman band hoping to reach the summit of the lofty and perilous mountain of Success, She has certainly achieved her cherished wish as we may see from her record. Today she is one of the most brilliant and best loved members of our class. Although of a quiet nature, “Dot” is in- terested in the class activities and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is a fine friend and a pleasing classmate. Reading is “Dot’s” hobby. We fear that if there were anyone who enjoyed reading more than she, the Fall River Public Library would need a new supply of books. We think that she will seek the business field next year, and we rest as- sured that it will secure a great gain when she joins its rank and file. 116 0 TWENTY- MINNIE ZALASKY “Min” Many of you have wondered who this little girl is Yes, she is small, but she is chock full of good things- Min just loves music and is always present at all the concerts that are given in Fall River. If you should see the embroidering that Minnie does, you would surely gasp with amazement and admira- tion. Min graduated from the Davis School and wTas just as popular there as she is here—and that is saying quite a good deal. Now she is planning to go to Bridgewater Normal School. Somehow we can’t imagine Minnie as a school teacher, but stranger things than that have happened. TWO Q 117 f Aittuyra ilifi 118 Jffmitbail This year's football team will always be remembered at the Durfee High School as the first team in six years that could hang a clean-cut victory over the Whalers. The eleven had a fairly successful season although (hey had to meet two of the best teams in this part of the United States, playing thirteen games and winning seven, losing live and playing one to a scoreless tie. Our eleven piled up a total of 215 points to their opponents' 147. The men deserve much credit for the creditable showing they made, as they had a very tough schedule. Two decisive victories over the Taunton eleven, the victory over the Pawtucket team, the Tabor Academy, the games with the strong Haverhill and Brockton teams, the scoreless tie played at the La Salle Prep eleven, our Columbus Day defeat at the hands of (lie Whalers and our glorious revenge on Thanksgiving Day when we tied the tin can on them, are but few of the many memories that will linger in the minds of the fans and the players of the team of '21 and ’22. 31 lif Erutura utlin mailt this tram famous Stew IE McCowan, Quarterback—Stewie, who captained the eleven, was the best player that, we have had on our team in some time. His brainy work at the steering wheel has earned for him an enviable rep. And Stew can hurl a mean forward pass. With .lack Brennan on the receiving end and Stew to hurl the sphere, there is little chance that the forward pass will go wrong. And as for circling the ends, well, ask any New Bedford fellow about Stew and we guarantee that he will tell you a vivid story of Stewie’s powers in this line. Tad dones lias heard that Stevvie is headed for Vale and is tickled silly at the thoughts of having another Mac Aldrich under his wing. Jack Brennan, Fullback—Jack, who captained the eleven in his Junior year, was a wonderful partner for Stewie, the two of them working together like a charm. Besides his ability at catching forward passes. Jack made a name for himself in his wonderful line bucking. Even the well-tooted Haver- hill line bent when Jack hit it and as to the New Bedford lino—well, it broke. And Ins tackling -why, man, even Parisien on the Haverhill team stopped short in his tracks when Jack hit him. Jack strikes like a ton of lead, and whatever connects up with 1dm is sure to fall. And they did fall this past season. Head Coach Fisher of Harvard was greatly put out when he learned that Jack had no thoughts of going to Harvard to help out the Harvard eleven. Cauuolu, Left Halfback—When it comes to acting on the gridiron, Tony has the heart of a lion and is right there when anything comes his way. Tony sure can travel with that ball, let me tell you. Tony can cover a place in the 121 DVJRFEE line as well as lie can occupy a position in the backtield, although Ibis year lie played most of the time in I lie backtield. This is liis second year on the gridiron, as last year was his initial appearance. Needless to say that two years was time enough for him to make a name for himself on the gridiron, Tom Moran, Left Tackle—Wlial would the team do without Tom? This is too deep a ? for the average size brain, so we guess it will go unanswered. Tom and his rapid lire line of talk has done more to win a game for us than all the head work of Stewie and the Hue bucks of Jack. We hope to see yon on the eleven at H. 0. next year, Tom, and wish you the best of luck. Henry Butler, Right 'I'aekle A chunky type of lad that makes a good gridiron man, that is llenrv in every sense of the word. Always steady, and in the middle of all frays he proved to be one of the most valuable players that Coach Sample had on hand this year. Henry has plenty of weight, and this combined with ibis willingness to mix up, opened many holes in the opponent’s line. Ev. Manchester, Left linunt—Everett is one of those cool-headed players that can always be called upon in a crisis and found ready. It, was the first year on the gridiron for this lad who comes from the region where they pro- duced Stewie McGowan and Mac Aldrich, but he played with the air of a veteran. He had one advantage over Ids fellow-players. He is a reporter on a local paper and he could write himself up good after every game. Von guessed it right—Ev shone in every game. Anil is he well known?—well, ask any Haverhill or Fairhaveii fellow about Manny and see what he says. Georue Geary, High! Guard—George was one of the pluckiest play- ers on the team this year. He always could he depended upon to play his hardest without any urging and would not hesitate to stop a steam roller if it should appear on the field in practice. His hard playing was the result of his taking the count many times in the season, especially in Fairhaven, where he was seriously hurt in the free-for-all that featured the game. In Mansfield George received an injury that laid him on the shell' for the rest of the season. Although playing on and off, Tubber was unable to play a full game. Syjj Buffington, ('ruler—Here is the hoy with a bright future before him. Plucky to the limit of foolishness. Syd has made a name for himself in the annals of football with us. A first year man lie played excellent football and will long be remembered by his fellow-players. Syd has a habit of blocking punts which, although a very safe habit, was of great help to the team. Pierre Makootte, Guard—Pierre, you old dog, we came near going bank- rupt when the doctor ordered you to stop playing football because of a weak heart. We hope that this rule will not he enforced next year in Tufts, as we look forward to seeing you in action with a college team. 122 TWEMTY-TWO Basketball The basketball team this year in no way measured up to that of last year. Comparisons are odious. This year’s five was handicapped by the fact that they were nearly all green men and that they got started late in the season. Up to date the livi� is in the cellar position of the Basketball League, as it has not won a game in the league this season. The outlook is anything but bright for tlui locals to climb out of the cellar. But the breaking point in the season was the bowing of our men to the New Bedford five without a sign of resist- ance. Up to date the return game with the Whalers has not been played and the basketball team is living in hopes, meanwhile the fans are praying. Baseball The candidate� for the diamond will he called out in a few days and the prospects are that we will be represented by a good nine this year. After the drab basketball season we need something to cheer us up and we hope that Coach Sample will turn out a nine that will help to Idol out the awful defeats that the basketball team chalked up on the school. Manager Pickup has ar- ranged the schedule and we hope that the nine will defeat some of the teams that beat ns in basketball that it might help to erase the memory of some of I hose stinging reverses.

Fahey Second Lieutenant Anthony Pannoni Company 7 Captain Vincent I Coyne First Lieutenant Horatio Grey Second Lieutenant Clifford Kolb There were three companies of cadets this year. Company C being entirely composed of freshmen. Even its non-commissioned officers were freshmen, whose merits in hearing and deportment in classes as well as in drilling were considered in their election to the position. The freshman company was a remarkable success and its attainments compared well with those of Company A and Company B. Under the leadership of Major Harrison, the cadets have had on the whole a most satisfactory year. The officers were exceptionally well fitted to command this year, as a majority of them are in attendance at the Citizens' Military Training Camp at Camp Deveus this summer and learned many things relative to military life which were of great advantage to them in their work this year. After flic officers were appointed, the Armory became a busy place. The various companies were whipped into shape for the Battalion Drill scheduled for April 28, The first drill of the year, the Efficiency Drill for the men who had served in the cadets at least two years, was an epoch-making affair in the history of the corps. The large crowd that thronged Music Hall from the time that the drill started fn 1 lie last minute was one of the largest crowds in the history of the cadets. In the drilling. First Sergeant Rooney walked away with the first prize, although Coporal Bonner who came in second made a strong hid for the initial place. Honorable mention was awarded to Private Coppinger. They sav that there are good things in small packages, and It was amply proved at the Company A drill when Corporal Whalen walked away with the initial honors. Sergeant Rooney was second. Corporal West-gate was awarded honorable mention. Sergeant Stoyan Bussell proved to the satisfaction of all that he was the best drilled man in Company B when the judges unanimously awarded him first prize. Sergeant Emerson pushed him hard ail through the drill and easily won second prize. The honorable mention award went to Private Delehanty. It is the earnest hope of all the members of the corps that the Cadets will attend their annual encampment at Waban Park, Oak Bluffs. The training that they receive at camp is of more value to tin individual members of the Battalion than the many hours of practice that they put in at the Armory. 125 X « � (1 a x a f ip K Lite ear j Mini roe Radovsky, '22 Victoria Lincoln, '22 Beatrice Hancock, 22 Everett Baskotf, '24 Hubert Aldricli, ’25 Affo cfrics John Brennan, ’22 William Ooogan, '22 John Donnelly, 23 Alumni 31 ihired Farrell, ’22 Katherine Borden, ’24 THE EDITORIAL STAFF Editor in Chief Francis J.

Though numerous attempts at class papers proved failures in themselves, it was in this way that general interest in a paper was stimulated. But not until the whole school .supported the project, was the Durfee Hilltop organized. Then indeed T22 joyously received the good news and secretly pledged steadfast devotion to the new enterprise. By the fall of DJ21, interest in the Hilltop did not lessen ; neither did sub- scriptions or contributions. This year’s stall consisted of twenty eight students chosen from the four classes by popular vote. Ten of these were seniors, eigld juniors, six sophomores and four freshmen; a chosen few they were, the genius and the talent of the whole student body, oil whom rested the care and responsibility of the Hilltop. But with Mr. Chatfo's advice and co-operation and the contributions of the pupils, they were able to overcome all difficulties. Nine numbers, each one containing excellent material, were issued. Ex- changes increased and we are proud to say that the Durfee Hilltop has been read and enjoyed in schools all over the country. Voluntary writing of verses, short stories and essays lias already been greatly stimulated by the Hilltop. When ’22 has left Durfee, it will not fall to support the Hilltop nor forget the Alumni department. And in parting il is placing an immense burden on the other classes, but it feels they are competent to carry on the good work. 126 OFFICERS PnHuhnt Yicf-PnsUlcH Srrrrtfinj . Frank Kennedy Everett Manchester Katherine Lomax Ej'ccutire (fommittee Eld red Hem is Dorothea West Everett Crowley John Corbett Bernard Teran With a large membership and a firm purpose in view, the Durfee Forum began one of the most successful years of its history. Its object was to stimu- late interest in public speaking and to develop debating material. In order to make a better organization than there has been in the past, a constitution was drawn up. It was accepted and signed hv ninety-five pupils who agreed to live up to it. and to take part when called upon to do so—a large membership, in fact, considering the obligation imposed. But such an obligation was necessary for 1 lie success of the organization, for its purpose is clear: to exclude those who had no interest in debating, bill who might attend the meetings for other purposes. The Forum was under tin supervision and guidance of Mr. That to, who coached the debating teams. Much credit is due his successful management. The meetings were held the first and third Wednesday of the month in Technical auditorium from 7.1:10 to 0 o’clock. The main part of the program was either a debate or a discussion. Musical numbers were sometimes given by talented members. But the important events of the year were the iuterscholastic debates which Durfee entered into with the greatest, zeal and enthusiasm. Durfee's teams worked hard to keep up her good name and high standing among other schools. An interesting fact to note is the important part the girls played in these iuterscholastic contests. The fact that, all classes are eligible to membership and that Durfee holds debating in such high esteem makes the graduating class feel that the Durfee Fbrum will grow in size and success as time goes on. 127 OFFICERS President ...................................John J.

Brady Men today have become so interested in the material side of life that they have begun to neglect it in its cultural aspect. This tendency is reflected in our present curricula which exclude everything not deemed purely practical. On these grounds most high schools have dropped Greek. Such, however, is not the case in Durfee. Our city lias realized the cultural value of this ancient language and has given its students an opportunity to obtain a first hand knowledge of the masterpieces of Grecian literature. To stimulate interest in the Greek language and literature, members of the Homer and Xenophon classes and seniors in first year Greek have organ- ized a Greek club under the supervision of Miss Given of the faculty. With 111 is in view, the executive committee has arranged excellent programs for the fortnightly meetings of the club and the members have eagerly responded when asked to take part. The programs have dealt with a variety of subjects. The opening meeting was a discussion of the value of Greek. In order to give the members a fair estimate of the literature they were studying in class, the second meeting was devoted entirely to Xenophon and the “Anabasis.” Reports on the Greek theatre, on the presentation of plays and a survey of the writers themselves gave the club an idea of Drama in the fourth century B. C. One of the most enjoyable discussions was that on Lucian when several dialogues of his on Greek life and Mythology were presented by club members. The reading and discussion of items from modern Greek newspapers often proved of unusual interest to the students. The club is now planning for an entertainment for the faculty and a symposium for the first year class. The good which the club Inis done its members and the consequent interest taken in Greek cannot he estimated. We have only to say that this organiza- tion is a strong bond tending to unite teacher and pupils. As a result of it, the Greek students have learned to know their teacher and to appreciate her efforts to make the study of Greek easier and more enjoyable. It is to her the club owes its life and success. Though the members of our class leave this organization, the results of their work will continue and “having a little light, they will pass it on to others. 128 OFFICERS OF TECH A NURSING CHUB President Vice-President Sec rutary Treasurer Mildred Holt .

M. C. Durfee Nursing Club, In October of 1921, the Tech 4A and 4B divisions each formed a group for the study of nursing. Their work was also to include community welfare work. Their purpose in forming these organizations was to lit out the nursing room in Technical Building with proper equipment and to promote the interest in social welfare work in the homes. On November 23, 1921, a dance was held in the Woman’s Club on Walnut Street. This was both a social and financial success. Miss Ethel V. Given has instructed the girls throughout the year. Such interest lias been aroused in the organization and such progress made that the work should certainly lie continued by other classes. 129 The Orchestral Club has just brought to a finish one of its most successful seasons. Omit praise is due Mr. Titeomb for tlie astounding manner in which he has developed raw recruits into seasoned and musical veterans. An orches- tra without a leader is helpless, and the Durfee Orchestra would lie worse than The attendance at the rehearsals was regular as a whole. Nearly every musical instrument was represented except a cello. 'Cellos are greatly needed. The Orchestra has played four times for the enjoyment of others. The first time was in the fall when they played in the First Congregational parish house for the Y. M. A. The day before the Christinas vacation the Orchestra and a chorus of girls played and sang Christmas carols in the Auditorium and the corridors. On March 3rd, the Ihirfee Orchestral gave their fifth animal concert. They were assisted by Henry Jackson Warren of Boston. It was a success� every way. When Ike Fancy Creek boys spoke at the Women’s Club, the orchestra was present.
