CYRIL RAYNER BROADHEAD. lWhate'er he did was done with so much ease, In him alone, 'twas natural to please. Here he is--the Right XNO1-thy, Extra Honorable Cy,' President of this famous class. In this office he has no super- ior, even Mr. Hoyt commented on his keeping us under con- trol in the class meetings. I-Ie has held the office for two years, which shows that he is a great favorite with the Class. If Cyril is -confused, especially in Geometry, he is easily discour- aged, but his good qualities place this fault far in the back- ground. He read for the. Anthony Medal and is a good worker in the Boys' Debating Society. I-Ie has many admirers among the fair sex all unknown to himself. On the whole, Cyril is an invaluable member of -our class. I-Ie was chosen Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Student on account of his literary abilities. VVe shall expect great things of him in the y future. ELLEN LOUISE -BROTI-IERTON. VVisdom and Goodness are twin-borng one heart Must hold both sisters, never seen apart. Louise's giggle is bigger than she is, and it is always a sign of her presence. She is very fond of the theatre, frequenting it almost weekly. She recently appeared with her hair done up in puffs and we think it gives her a very fashionable air. It is rumored that her thoughts stray down southw to Annapolis. Louise is a member of the picture committee and delights in giving us information about the samples. She spends an hour in Tech across the road every day, where she helps along the German ,songsters. Furthermore, she is Annie's satellite. Louise is one of Miss Peirce's shining stars in English, and often helps along the recitations wonderfully by her original answers to some of the questions. SAMUEL JOSEPH BURKE. ' Hllflien God makes a lovely thing, the fairest and completest, He made it little, donyt you know, for little things are sweetest. Yes, this is Sammy, and there is no other fellow just like him. He worked very hard to join this bright class, and now is fully initiated, for he figures on this hard-working board, and is chairman of the picture committee, in which capacity he has shown his business ability. He also helps to fill the air with music on Wfednesdays with his Stradivarius. Sammy is also a prominent member of the Boys' Debating Society. He is Miss Peiree's model pupil and is considered by her a perfect gentle- man. He recently made his debut in long trousers and may be known anywhere by his slight stature, and the cute little curl on his forehead. Sammy is the youngest business man in the city and we know he will always be successful for he knows how to win his way. B.-Model-Small imitation of the real thing.

GLADYS MAE ALDEN. Music waves eternal wands,- l'Enchantress of the souls of mortals. Gladys began her high school career by entering Classical, but finding that atmosphere not congenial she immigrated to Eng- lish and joined our illustrious class, in her third year. Her hair is the pride of her life as one can see by the way she is constantly arranging it before our dressing-room mirror. She is one of-Miss Peirce's shining lights, continually volunteering to answer many of her difficult questions. In Room ll, a tall fellow was quite prominent in her estimation but the height has fallen since she entered Room 1. She is noted for her vocal ability. HAZEL ALFRED. I Her looks do argue her replete with modesty. No, you cannot see Hazel before you. just look up to the zenith and she will smile upon you. Hazel has tried to evade our class and leave old English before 1911, but rather liked our good natured crowd and stayed to keep us company. Hazel came from Oxford and during her stay at English, has not only gained knowledge, but has also added a few inches to her height. RUTH MARIE BERGER. Her pencil was striking, resistless, and grand, Her manners were gentle, complying, and bland. Ruthie says, lt is better to be late than not to come at allf' a principle which accounts for her hasty appearance sometimes at 9.02 A, M. Everyone agrees that Ruth is one of the neatest little girls in the class. She is president of the Girls' Debating Society, which has prospered under her commanding leader- ship. The Freshmen especially, have been her devoted friends. She also illuminates the drawing-room with her presence and Mr. Randall favors her with white paper for her work, while we poor mortals must be content with cheap paper. Now Ruth, it really isn't fair. She is a Firm supporter of Bridgham Street School and is proud of her Alma Mater. Qnce upon a time, Ruth appeared wearing a huge ring with a glittering gem CPD-but we believe her innocent. 17

MABEL CARGIAN COX. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. In Mabel this class has a cheerful and pretty maiden. She may always be seen with a smile and merry word for everyone. She chose the commercial course and has proved herself a very efficient scholar in typewriting. Wfe are told that Mabel is also a very good judge of weights. However, with all this business learning, Mabel is somewhat a society lady and has joined the band of those who have discarded hair ribbons and wear puffs. GLADYS DIEFENDORF. C music! sphere-descended maid, Friend of pleasure, wisdomls aid. New York first heard Gladys' decided murmur. She is the only member of our class who has been on a honeymoon, and in Syracuse, too! She is very musical, for she plays both the banjo and the mandolin. Her debates in civics class are em- phasized by her lofty manners and the toss of her head. Gladys is always seen near Millicent, for the two are very good friends. Gladys' last name is so difficult to pronounce that we hope she will change it, even if she has to '5Steel one. ANNA IOSEPI-UNE FLYNN. ln framing an artist, art hath thus decreed To make some good but others to exceed. Anna is an artist of no mean ability, and on account of this has won the favor of Mr. Randall. She has helped to adorn this book with her drawings and is also a member of this illus- trious board. Anna spends her time out of school very prolita- bly by helloeing around the city. She is a fine dancer and is one of the all round jolly girls of our class. .-Xnna's calmness in great confusion and her smile keep up the general class spirits. Anna took off her hair ribbon once and it appeared on Ethel's skirt and Maries waist. Nevertheless she is slill un- willing to discard it entirely. Studies never bother Anna, l9
