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

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 Cf harlottr 3J. fBilsky “Lotta” Charlotte was one of the very many precious stones taken from the Susan H. Wixon Grammar School and reset in Durfee. Iler accomplishments are many and she gives promise of being one of the foremost artists of the country. Just glance at the cartoons for proof. But she does not possess the fickle temperament of an artist. She is always good-natured, taking “slams” and compliments with unruffled composure. She is especially noted for ironical writings, while enacting the role of the “Lady with the Lorgnette”. Added to her talents is the ability to make A’s appear on her report card. In fact there is no such letter as D in her alphabet. After completing her course at Durfee, Charlotte intends to continue her studies at Wellesley, where, indications show a rosy future awaits her and her quest for knowledge will be successful. dSMuitt 3J. iBxliriifc' The curtain is raised and “Edwin”, our best pianist, enters on the stage. He came to us in 1920 from the Susan H. Wixon School and has always been a valuable addition to the class of ’24 at Durfee. Naturally be chooses music as his favorite amusement anti those who have heard him play know that he is sure to he heard from in the musical world in later life. Although music occupies much of Edwin’s time, he devotes part of it to skating and basket ball. Since Harvard is his next, station, we are confident that that college will receive a good student and a very talented musician. The best wishes of the class will follow him. Orchestra, 2, 3, 4. Dramatic Club, 3, 4. Latin Club, 3. Chester (C. IJisbrc “Chet” “Barney” “Chet” is another example of the fine specimens that the Highland School turns out. “Chet’s” favorite pastime, like that of the other fellows from this district, is football. You will find him tackling or bucking the line on the Highland Field any day in the football season. Who knows but what he may become a second “Mac Aldrich” or “Lukey Urban”! “Barney” is a Sergeant in the Cadets and his favorite pastime in this regard, is winning medals at the drills. “Chet” hopes to become an electrical expert thru the help of the General Electric Company. 21
