THE DURFEE RECORD '24 iUu'lmt JL Eve Evey Teddy Sunshine Have you observed the number of nick-names this young’ lady has been given? If a vote were to be taken as to which of the four names was the mos' suitable we are quite sure that “Sunshine” would win by a mile. You never see Evelyn unless she is smiling. Have you ever seen her grouchy? No, neither have we! Evelyn has made herself famous with her ukelete. Do you remember her as the Hawaiian maid in the Hockey Club Circus? Evey” and her uke are inseparable. Now let’s go down to facts about Evelyn's history. She comes from Swansea and is a graduate of the Frank S. Stevens’ School. Evelyn took the Tech Course during her High School career, but as yet she hasn’t decided upon her life work. We know that she will succeed in whatever she decides to do. Good luck, Sunshine ! Hittrnlit J bmn Line Behold, Line” himself! (he is one of our best puck chasers). Line graduated from the Frank S. Stevens1 Grammar School in the town of Swansea, Massachusetts, and he apparently believes that the present’s the time for he has not yet decided whither he will go after graduation. Perhaps we’ll hear of his playing hockey with the U. S Olympic team, who knows? Commercial Club, 4. Hums 31. JMktvb Louie Louie” is a product of the Borden School. He is one of our husky fellows who has made Durfee proud of her baseball team. He is a very good player and we know some girls who went to the game just to see “Louie” play, and “Louie” is such a bashful boy! Ah, yes, still water runs deep! “Louie” is very popular among his classmates. As a result he was chosen President of the Electrical Club, of which he is an enthusiastic worker. Louie says that M. I. T. will be his stopping place next year. We know he will succeed in anything he attempts to do. Electrical Club, 3, 4. lb

THE DURFEE RECORD '24 iftavy ic. Allard “May” This is her rightful place in our book, so of course we present her here. There are few, however, to whom she must be made known, for “May” is the kind of a girl who has made friends of practically every one in her class. “May” doesn’t make a whole lot of noise about everything that she does, for she is quiet and reserved. It is to the Borden Grammar School that, we owe our sincere thanks, for it is that school which so generously gave her up to us. And now, hang it all, we’ve got to give her up, for she will enter Bridgewater next fall and honor that school with her friendly presence. Ixnmiumh iL AUarb “Toots” “Ray” Toot-toot! Stop! Look! and Listen! Here is Ray all the way from Buwenville. Didn’t you know “Toots” was the chief rooter for all Durfee’s teams? No matter where they play, yon always hear “Toots’ ” voice above the rest. He may be small but you should see him handle a baseball. Why ,he could make “Babe Ruth” sit up and take notice! He started playing ball when a mere boy in knickerbockers, and will continue to play as long- as he can use his hands. That is how much he loves the game. As “Toots” is a member of the Tech Class, you may find him doing any sort of a job. He is extremely well liked by all his teachers and pupil friends. He has theirs and our wishes for complete success. Durfee Electrical Club, 3, 4. ■Melcn Alibain “Nel” Enter Helen, the most original and entertaining member of our illustrious class. Helen is a wonder at most anything; studies (why heavens, that girl reads the Aeneid to rest her mind) household arts, dancing, tennis and Skating (did you ever see her doing exhibition stunts over at the Swansea Dam?) She has devoted much of her time to the study of music and is now an accomplished player on the piano. She can also make an evening jolly with selections on her mandolin. “Nel” is an enthusiastic follower of Durfee’s football team even in rain storms. Next year “Nel” hopes to go to Wellesley College and after a course there wall go in search of an M. D. at some medical school. Good luck to you, Helen; you certainly are leaving many loving friends behind you. 17
