THE DURFEE RECORD ’24 JXuqtla “Dutchy” Well, if it isn’t “Dutchy”, another product of the Susan H. Wixon Grammar School. “DutchyV humorous and sunny disposition has won her many friends. “Dutehy” intends to become a school teacher and she will continue her education at the famous Fram j ngham NormaL We wish yon luck, “Dutchy”, ill; i rqiicriie Hintmet: “Peg” Are you seeking- an amiable girl, a pleasant one? The result of your quest is obviously Margurite, of course. She may be quiet, studious, wholly efficient and cool-headed, but we’ve deemed her otherwise. All right, we’ll slop, “Peg”, but you’ll have to be good. “Peg” has ambitions—oh, yes, she's going to study hard at Normal School and become a capable, lovable Junior High teacher. For all these studious intentions, “Peg” just loves to dance and skate and swim. Wherever you go, Margurite, we're sure you’ll succeed. llatiuTme IWbrn “K” In 1920 “K” was sent to Durfee as the smartest pupil from the Highland School and her reputation was not flattery for immediately in her Freshman Year she was placed on the Hilltop Staff. In her Senior Year Durfee was fortunate in having her as Editor of our weekly paper. Moreover, she was not only connected with the Hilltop but was also a very efficient Assistant Editor of the Record Book. “K” also has proved her popularity in being elected Secretary of the Class in her Senior Year and as Vice- President as a Junior. But Katherine did not shine as an “Emerson” alone for she is an accomplished musician and the orchestra was very fortunate in having so talented a person as “K” in its midst. We know that Vassar will welcome her with outstretched arms and we wish her great success in all that she undertakes in later life. Editor Hilltop, 4. Associate Editor, 3.

THE DURFEE RECORD ’24 1C ilium 31. Klimt “Bud “Uzy” “Bud” came to us from the Dighton Grammar School and has stayed with us four rolicky years. Studies nevci seem to worry Bud”, but she is generally “there” with the recitation. f(lzzy claims that driving a machine is her favorite sport. Oho! Izzy”, now we know why Dighton is so close to Taunton (oh me, oh my, and to think of the number of times, all unsuspecting, we passed through Dighton). Well, “Izzy”, maybe you’re a second Barney Oldfield but you've got to show us. Next year Izzy” will help swell the ranks at B. U. (our blessings to Boston's traffic cops). iiluru ill. Kogan Mary is one of those rare, sweet, quiet girls who manage to go through four years of High making many friends and yet not attracting much attention. She came to Durfee in 1920 after graduating from the Highland School. Besides being an excellent scholar, (Mary’s report card never lacks A’s) she is a thorough out-of-door girl. She claims basket ball and skating as her favorite sports, and she manages to enjoy these two without neglecting her work. Next year she will go to Bridgewater to train for teaching. She has chosen her future profession wisely, for with such a dear conscientious teacher as Mary to spur them on to higher things, her pupils will be examples to all others. Good luck, Mary. President of G. A, A., 3. Record Book Staff. Harry iWiutsfeu Mike” “Mike” was taught his A B C’s in the William J. Wiley School. He was so bright they only kept him eight years before sending him on to Durfee. “Mike's” favorite pastime is skating. On any cold day, you will find him at either North Park or the Stump”, a small pond in the woods near Steep Brook. “Mike” never misses any of the school activities. He is a member of the S. A. A. which alone proves he is well liked by teachers as well as students. “Mike” intends to lend hi.s future ideas and services to Tufts College. Pretty lucky for them! S. A. A., 4. 23

THE DURFEE RECORD '24 ■Kathryn if. ilWhni “Kitty” If “Kitty” is a sample of the Samuel Watson School girls, we would like to have a great many more of them at Durfee. “Kitty” enjoys all kinds of amusements. The most prominent are; dancing, bowling and playing the Hawaiian Guitar. We well know she likes dancing because we have seen her at the drills floating along without a care in the world. As for playing the Guitar, all we have to do is use in:1 imagination and add to the picture a porch and a little moonlight!!! Nuf sed!!! “Kitty” intends to enter Framingham in the fall and we sincerely hope she will make many friends and be as well liked as she was at Durfee. iHurinu tLluiimnlcy Behold!—a fair daughter of King Neptune. Marion is a true lover of the sea and excels in all water sports. Talking about water sports—say- did you ever see the beautiful swan dives and those “peachy” j eknife dives that Marion can do? You haven’t? Then you don't know what you've missed, for Marion surely can dive! Miss Bottomley is a very modest girl and never boasts of her accomplishments. Four years ago the wind quietly planted Marion in our midst, after she had graduated from the Westall Grammar School. This school has sent us many classmates but Marion is the kind we need in school for she does her work faithfully, day by day. Next year she goes to Bridgewater. Here Marion will prepare to be a teacher whom everyone will like. lliiamuili iii. tLiuluiUni Hannah graduated from the Davis Grammar School in 1020 and came to Durfee to establish a good record. This she has done successfully and she graduates with a goodly number of high marks. Hannah is classed as being one of our best athletes, taking part in all the sports in her Junior and Senior years especially the Girls' Circus, Hannah is very fond of about all winter sports especially skating, when ? is by her side. Next winter we wonder who Hannah will have for a partner when she goes ice skating on some pond around the Bridgewater Normal.
