Four years ago “Franny” bumped into Durfee, liked the looks of us and decided to stay. If “Bumpy” hadn’t stayed with us we would have lost one of the liveliest girls in Durfee. This graduate of the Westall School declares she is a regular book worm. Frances also delights in outdoor sporta, particularly swimming. “Bumpy” plans to go to Miss Wheelock’s School in Boston when she graduates. We know that “Franny” will make a delightful teacher. Hubert HI. luirih'tt “Herb” In 1920, Hubert came to grace the halls of Durfee after graduating from the Henry Lord Grammar School. During his four short years there, he has made a vast number of friends, and many students will be sorry when Hubert leaves us.

The best wishes of the class accompany you, “Herb”. Electrical Club, 4.
