DUEF8E EECO R D finite “CLF.O CLEOPATIM 11 o v wonderful it was iii September when “Cleo, “ as we call her, entered our class in 1919. Her sweet disposition has won her a- great many friends since she has been with us. 11 Cleopatra'T is noted us an excellent musician and plays both the piano and the violin. She is an ardent lover of out'of door sports, especially her favorite sport, tennis. Next year Anna intends to enter an Art School for girls. lElhbibtdh lu Ibirlutu “BETTY Tiny sweet demure, humorous and exceedingly brilliant is the best description of “ Betty Mf She possesses an ex- traordinary amount of common-sense and capability. (For reference apply to Air.

Her frequent contributions to the literary section of the Hill top have given us a great deal of pleasure. “Betty41 plans to enter Salem Normal School next year to prepare for fVinimemal High School teaching.

(I harks ffiait “CHUCK “niurk,” a quiet resolute young man came to Durfee from the West.all Grammar School. His keen insight and vigor have made him one of the High School’s ablest mathemetieians. ‘‘Ball lias one favorite sport, football. And in rain or shine one always finds him in the Durfee ranks when the Hilltop’s eleven :s on the field. While our friend “Chuck has not yet chosen his life's profession, he has one great desire. This desire is not to play on a football team nor even to be a baseball pitcher but to raise a moustache! It may lie years before this de- sire becomes realistic, nevertheless, we would say to him, “Have patience . In the college where many of Durfee's students are found we shall add next year one more; for “Chuck” is going to Brown. 19
