THE DURFEE RECORD ’24 HJafytt Camber “Johnny” “Jack” The Fowler Grammar School presented to us in 1920 a cheerful, intelligent and a good young man and you can't guess who he was so we will tell you; it was “Jack” Bamber. “Jack” is a regular fellow and an all around sportsman. He is fond of football and tennis and on any Sunday afternoon he may be seen at the South Park hitting the line. He is a member of the Durfee Electrical Club and no doubt you have heard of the staunch work he did. “Johnny” is a lighting man and don’t be surprised if the fresh- men at Northeastern University win the color for our “Johnny” will be there to help them. Electrical Club, 3, 4. Hubert Uaiuustrr “Bob” “Bob”? “Don’t you know him?” The most athletic fellow in the class? “Bob” is a lover and a player of all sports. He also belongs to the electrical club. “Bob” is intending to go to the Georgetown University when he graduates. “Bob” is one of our best all around athletes and one of the most popular fellows in school. We envy Georgetown!. He was one of Durfefe’s most brilliant football stars, and a prominent member of the track team. In 1924 he was elected Captain of the basket bail team. Basket Ball, Captain, 4. Football, 3, 4. Track, 3, 4. Mclun Hi. Hwrett “Yoo-hoo! Wait a minute—I want to tell you something.” This call resounds through the halls of Durfee, and turning, we behold Helyn pursuing us. Hat in hand Helyn invariably has something to tell you and that something is usually interesting. She loves to talk and she admits it, and we don’t mind admitting that we like to listen to her, for Helyn has a very pleasing personality. She uses her powers for speaking to advantage in the Senior Forum and in the Dramatic Club. We are responsible to the N. B. Borden School for the presence of our Helyn and after leaving Durfee she intends to go to Vassal College. Here her powers in debating will make her famous as they have already made her in Durfee. We prophesy that we shall hear of Helyn some day in the future as President of the National League Of Women’s Clubs and we wish her luck. Anyway, wherever she goes, things are sure to be interesting.

THE DURFEE RECORD ’24 (Cljarloitr Hv. Aitbersmi Bubbles Charlie Did you ever see a face more winsome than our “Bubbles’?” And the whole of Charlotte is no less cheery and winning! We offer hearty thanks to the Samuel Watson School for having given us this ray of sunshine, Charlotte braves this record—she never frowned, never was disagreeable—always placid and amiable, IDs perfectly natural that Bubbles” should love to dare but can you imagine her seriously studying at Bridgewater to be a dignified teacher? Yet we’re very glad, “Charlie”, You’re just the sort of teacher we want for the Coming Generation, you know 3 Ebtuarb iXiilmthc Eddy” “Novo Eddy”, who came to us from the John J, McDonough School, is the extremely business-like young man who is often seen hustling around at Tech. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Commercial Club and sure is a hustler. He is an outstanding member of the basket ball cheering section. He also plays this game and is a mean shot when he gets going. He is a reporter for the Hilltop, Is it any wonder we have so many news items in our weekly paper? “Eddy” intends to be a lawyer, and so, goes forth to continue his studies at Boston University. Commercial Club, 4. Jusrplr C. A me “Dynamite “Hot Air Please don't get excited! Despite “Dynamite’s” various “hot” names, he's really a most amiable and likable chap—and a very busy one, at that. For “Hot Air” graces the Chemistry Club very often with his graceful presence. The attraction? Well, we have our doubts or rather suspicions, though we’re not saying anything! Joseph graduated from the Slade School only to immediately thrill Durfee with his genius in Mathematics. Yrou know, “Joe” is one of these all-round good pals-—studies well and plays well. You should see him in a soccer game! Next year “Dynamite is going to prove a most thrilling explosive to the faculty at Brown University, although we’re sure the shock will he pleasant!

THE DURFEE RECORD '24 ■jJi’arl iz. iluyitim ‘Tebf’ “Peb” is some artist! When she is not playing tennis you are sure to find her wrestling- with that difficult art of dancing' She outgrew the We stall Grammar School in 1920 and she continued her education in Durfee From here she will resume study at the Rhode Island School of Design. Anita fBeltslr “Nan” “Nan” is a product of the We stall School. She entered Durfee in the fall of 1920, and enrolled in the College Course. Her first two years slipped by without much prominence, but her last two made up for these more than double. She has been a member of all the principal clubs in the school and has held office in most of them. “Nan” claims that swimming is her favorite hobby; and she is considered one of the best swimmers of our class. We wonder what ? will do next year when “Nan” leaves Durfee and enters Middle bury College. Dramatic Club, 3, 4. Forum, 3, 4. Hockey Club, 4. Greek Club, 3.

In early September, he was following the Technical Course, but disliked this and enrolled in the Commercial, where he has attained high honors. Football, basket ball, and skating are his hobbies and he is correct when he said that football was one of the many, as we all know that Jack is no doubt the best football player around his corner. Behind the soda fountain the boy is quite an expert. Next year “Jack” intends to follow his ambitions at Boston University, where he expects to advance his way to the position of Accountant. Good luck, “Jack”. 20
