He Is a quiet, good-natured person, but nevertheless has lots of pep. “Luke” is an active worker in the Dramatic Club and was one of the stage-managers in 1922, He is an actor of no slight renown and can portray any character to perfection. He likes baseball best of all and say—he is some player. At times he can hit a three-bagger which sup rises him and eventually us. “Luke” will continue his journey, en route a la Tufts. There he will do his best to nab an “M. Ik”. Well, “Luke” we wish you a happy future in cutting up and may the cut-ups be successful. Dramatic Cub, 4, Assistant Stage Manager 8. Hilltop, 4. Forum, 4.

Ik, “Connie” outgrew the famous grammar school called the Westall and, bringing with her a calm, serene disposition, entered these halls of fame. Although she. has not yet decided where she will go. we wish her happiness wherever it may be. During the four years spent at Durfee, “Con” has distinguished herself in the social line. No drill or dance would be complete without “Connie’s” presence. Latin Club, 3. IB ray ton “Dot” Whiz——-Cr-----------Ash Bang!! Fair maids do not be frightened; it is only our “Dot” making another world’s speed record on the Indianapolis Speedway. If perchance you do not know “Dot” per mit me to introduce to you, the “World’s Speediest Woman”, Miss Doris Brayton. Dot graduated from the Prospect Street School in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She came to Durfee in her Junior year. “Dot's” hobby is driving a fast car (preferably a green one). “Dot” is a true daughter of Durfee, for whenever there is an athletic contest Dot is always on hand. She has a pair of lungs which she isn’t afraid to use. So Whenever “Dot” and the green car come into sight, we know Durfee is out to win. “Dot” plans to go to a Secretarial School next year where she will prepare to be the secretary of some big financier. 26

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.
