A popular young fellow, “Bill” can always lie found gliding across the waxed floor at the Drills, and the boy sure is there as a dancer.

 DURFEE IECORD (trijouTHs (Carr “TOM” Thomas is one of our best proofs that good things conic in small packages. We’re sure lie’s a good fellow, and studies Ids lessons thoroughly, for he always shines when we fail. He is a. Globe newspaper carrier and Ins cus- tomers always get their papers on time for his middle name is “Service”, NowT Thomas is no athlete. Neither does lie care much about most sports but tie does like foot- ball; and with melodius voice he has often helped to cheer the team to success. Durfee recommends this bit of quietude, as a. good student, to any school. In this case it happens to be Brown University. iHaru i stclle Catrctrn ‘ 'STELLA' Mary is one of the excellent, pupils that the John J. Mc- Donough School sent to us four years ago, She is a mem- 1 er of the Normal Course. Although her voice is not heard very much in Durfee s lmlls, nevertheless Stella always re- cites when called upon, “A's” have been predominant on her report, cards for four years. Her favorite diversion is reading good books which she peruses in numbers. Stella, hasn’t decided which normal school she will enter next fall, but we can guarantee that she will become a successful teacher. Ixaymaiih (Earrirll “PEANUT Who of our many teachers has not had some “import- ant business” with this live wire? As Miss O’Keefe says, 1 The smallest things cause the most trouble.’’ Not saying “Peanut” caused any—no indeed! Merely1 swearing to it! Many adventures has this young hero of ours had; often the adventures turned out a chase, but Houdini’s agility is like unto that of a snail’s when compared with “Peanut’s” when it was a ease of getting out of sight of the offended. To this lad goes much of the success of the social affairs at Durfee, for it was he who made, designed rind painted the snappy looking signs and ads which we surely were proud to hang in cotisj.deions p’nces. Lf “Pea- nut” doesn’t earn au “E, H. P ”t we miss our guess! And we know that he’ll jolly St, Peter into letting him into Heaven by painting “This Way To ”—wherever if may be—on traffic boards For slow people we’ll volunteer the knowledge that “E. 8. P. ” means “expert sign-paint- er.” HR Record Book Dance Committee, 4,
