THE DURFEE RECORD '24 IJnlitt If. Hums “Jake” Yes, everything’s all “Jake”. “Jake” grew ton big for the William S. Greene Grammar School so he decided he would come to Durfee. He is very fond of basket hall and he was a member of the Durfee squad. “Jake” intends to enter Providence College after he leaves the halls of Durfee. Best of luck, “Jake”. We know that some day you will be shining On some college team. iii. ilnlmcs Hunts “Don” Margaret, who is better known as Dolores, graduated from the Susan H. Wixon School in 1920 as one of the highest honored pupils of her class. She took the college course and has been a very faithful student during her four years at Durfee. “Don” finds plenty of time for amusement, however. She likes the movies and ice-skating hut her violin takes up most of her spare time and those who have heard her play agree that she has extra- ordinary talent. Her love of music has been a great aid to her because practicing was never boresome or an unpleasant task. “Don” intends to spend a year or two at Bridgewater and then go to the Boston Conservatory of Music. Her friends vouch that some day she will rank with ICreisler and wish her the best of luck. fztma iff. CalMucll “Eddy” If, perchance, you have not become acquainted with “Eddy” during your stay at Durfee it is not your fault. It is due to the deplorable fact that Edna is very, very quiet and shy. Can you imagine that? Can you conceive of any Senior girl in the Durfee High School that is either quiet or shy? However, after you have become acquainted with Edna you find yourself more than repaid for your trouble. “Eddy” came to us from the Samuel Watson School Her favorite sports are gym exercises. Strange to relate, Edna says she likes “dancing of any kind”. When she completes her course in June Edna says that she will go to work and as a business woman “Eddy” is sure to be successful. 31

Latin Club, 3. 3t IUCT5 §. lutillp “Franny” “Bumpy” “Say, it was a knock-out, and gee, it was great! Ever hear these expressions? Never? Then let me introduce “Franny” (otherwise known as “Bumpy”) who owns the sole and exclusive rights to utter these words. 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. He has followed the Technical Course and is one of the brightest pupils in his class. As yet “Herb” has not decided where he will go, but we know that wherever he goes he will be a success. The best wishes of the class accompany you, “Herb”. Electrical Club, 4.

Jit ilirmurtam JOHN CHARLES CAMERA BoTn Nov. 26, 1900, Died April 14, 1924. We take this means of expressing our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss is even greater than our own. It was not our wish that he should come to so untimely an. end, hut the will of the Almighty is not to be questioned. Requiescat in Pace 3M]tt J . (Ilarluilhn John is studious; very studious. Indeed a studious atmosphere fairly radiates from him. However, John can smile. He has been discovered smiling on two or three different occasions. John likes to read books by the great English masters. He likes equally well the popular works of Dante, Virgil and Homer. John states that he spends any spare time watching the exponents of the national pastime. After coming to us from the John J. McDonough School, John pursued a college course in the High School with great success. M. I. T. will be honored next year by John’s presence and we know he will be successful.
