© 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
