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.

He is also ». good football and baseball player. ‘'Brad1' will continue his studies at some Technical School. With- out o doubt the principal of -that lucky school will be sending to Durfee all kinds of letters of praise, etc. Now, Harold’, you’ll have to be good, to keep lip our fine im- pression. ifnmrts 3L jfoahu “F. 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.

What we mean is, 4 Mad die ’' enjoys driving her touring car, and yet she thinks there’s nothing like a nice long walk. How about giving us a a ride and then go walking with us 4Maddie’ and letting us decide for you? Good, that’s all set then! Do you know where 4 4 Mad die? likes to walk—to baseball games. Now don ft blush, tell us what the attraction is! Isn’t it; funny that most of the students who come from the Davis Grammar School, like to bang at the keys? “Maddie” is another one of these stu- dents and she likes banging ’em so well she’s going to be a piano teacher. Go to it, 4 ‘Maddie’ 1 say it with music' ■’! 24

She graduated from the NT. B. Borden school, so we know that all her lower grade training was not acquired, in the “Little Bed School house ’ Often people wonder where Musette ob- tained her nickname, but wr know. Don't blusli, “Mucus”, we won 4 reveal the worst, but if anyone is really curious, just ask the Fidamies. “ Mucus ’' favorite pastime is basketball. We all know she’s a shark at this game or else she wouldn’t have the honor of being captain of the famous Blue Birds. Her favorite hobby is playing the piano. We thought she'd make her way to the Boston Conservatory of Music, but she is going to fool us as usual, and go to Pembroke for a year. After that she will enter some Boston hospital to train to be a nurse. Well, “Mucus”, if you keep your pleasant smite, we won't blame anybody because they want to be sick. Record Book Staff. 2(i
