I. B. Student, editor, actor, writer, debater, soldier all of those, and more too, is Francis, And when yon know him, you'll add to that list, iregular fellow. From the year 1919, when he came to our halls from the Westall we have recognized in him, ?i student we were proud to mini her among ourselves, a fellow we were glad to have as a co-worker, a gentleman whom we have admired and re- spected. The number of duties which have been assigned to him show his immense popularity and the manner in which he has fulfilled them prove his ability. In scholar- ship,. he is ranked among our best, and will be among the highest, next year, we know at Georgetown. We could write n book about you, Brady, but, what's the use? There are better biographers than we. Captain Co. B. Cadets, 4. Editor-in-chief, Hilltop, 4. President, Senior Porum, 4. Associate Editor Record Book, 4.

She sure can tell yon the “hot ones.'1 Win” says her favorite sport is tennis and we all are willing to agree that it is If it is a stiff game you are looking for, just get “Win” started on a good set. Without a doubt she is related to Til den somewhere or somehow, Her ambition is to be a sehoolmarm after graduating from some Normal School. We know she will make a good one but vve also know that if anything funny h».ppe.iis “ Win” will be sure to lose the correct dignity of a cor- rect sehoolmarm. Nevertheless “Win”, wc hope you succeed in teach- ing some one to have a disposition like yours. Dramatic Club, 4, Natljiinti'l IE. IWftcit “NAT “Nat” is a product of the Lincoln Grammer School and well might they be proud of him, “Nat's” hobby is drilling, and a great deal of his time is taken in this wav, for “Nat” is a Sergeant Major in the Cadets. As “Nat” is interested in the sea, he will go to the Massachusetts Nautical School at Nantucket next September and then become an officer in the Merchant Marine. “There was a fool who wont to sea, even aw you or I.” But “NatV” no fool and here’s for wishing him a rolling good time on the briny deep! Cadets, Sergeant Major, 4. iWitrtlin IWvtiicit Martha is very excitable, we have to acknowledge, and gets peeved unite often, but underneath it all she is one of the most kind hearted girls in the class. If you were in trouble she would do anything in her power for you. She loves to swim and. as for traveling—well, she just adores it. She came from the Davis School and has mad:' herself welcome in Durfee by her musical talent which has been of great use in our orchestra. Next year she will attend Bridgewater where she wall train to be an English teacher. We know she’ll make good at that job, for she sure can give orders! Orchestra, H. 4. 23

I) U R I E E K E C O R D l utl| llliUfehtttmt Mr “BABE BUTE” Why, here we have a “Babe Ruthf5 at Durfee! Her friends 'ea! I her this probably because of her prowess in knocking over the pins In tint alley, as bowling is her favorite pastime, We are very thankful for the good deed whirl) the Westall School did for us in giving us this liiixining girl She lias gained scores of friends at Durfee beeam: e of her winning personality' and we know she will succeed as a private secretary next year. ,IUm$ JMtlyca itUir(drill “DOT” “DOTTIE” Here comes “Dot'’! Hats off, boys II Don’t crowd I Plenty of time. Why all this rush.? Because “Dot’’ is one of our merriest, lovliest, tiniest, fairest,, and best be- loved Seniors. Everybody knows her. If you don’t you’re missing something. You’ve seen her walking in the halls, always gay, just the sort of girl this old world needs. It would seem as if her motto were: “Never trouble trouble ‘til trouble troubles you. ’ ’ You’ve seen her, too, at all the school dances, always surrounded by a certain sex,. Because as a dancer, “Dot” Can’t be beat “Dot” is also a good student, and you can never find fault with her work. However, “Dot” is much more in- terested in the dyeing business than she is in lier studies. We wonder why? Next year Rhode Island College of Education will open its doors to “Dot”, for in the future she expects to become a teacher. Alter Brrrtrits 4 SKID” “Skid”, one of the fair maidens of our commercial class entered our portals from the Davis School. “Skid” is one of our rather quiet girls, and never fails in her class recitations. But that doesn Tt mean that she is always studying. Now if it weren’t for skating and good books, “Skid” might have spent all of her time studying; but these are her hobbies, and, besides, can you blame her? This young lady expects to further her knowledge at Thibodeau ’a Business School next fall and thence become a stenographer.
