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

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.
