THE LAUREL KNAPP, HELEN Helen Commercial Course Motto: United we stand, divided we fall. Ambition: To be a Senorital' It can be well said of Helen: l cannot check my girlish blush, My color comes and goes. But it's almost always there. It's a long walk to West Farmington, n'cst-ce-pas Alplwnzo? At last we see what love will do. lVIA1.i.1s'1'r, Riemann Dick, Don Ricardo Malle College Course Motto: 1' am Sir Oracle and when l opc my lips let no dog bark. Ambition: VVe always used to think Dick wanted to be a congressman but lately we have come to believe his secret ambi- tion is to be a bull-lighter-or a movie actor. Orchestra, l, 2, 3, -lg School Plays, 3, 4g Debating Club, 3, 4: Debating Team, 3, 4, Basketball, 2, Baseball, 2, 3, 45 Sub- scription Contest Chairman, 33 Vice-President Class, 1, 2, 3, 4: President Debating Club, 4, Athletic Editor, 2: Alumni Editor, 3. Apparently Dick changed his name when he began to be such a sheik among the Normals. Don't keep your mother and father up nights this spring, Dick, or hog all the cross roads, especially that one above the red bridge-the Normals have to be in by ten, you know. MERCHANT, GIERALDINE jerry General Course Motto: I am captain of my fate. Ambition: To be another Carrie Nation. Alunmi Editor of the LAUREL. Geraldine is the most conscientious member of the class, especially when it comes to questions about her rank. Of course we realize that Jim has been demoralizing her during English class but that is excusable as others have fallen before. Jerry spends her time studying and we wonder why she finds a certain Freshman so attractive. Wholly cousinly, we suppose. MILLS, VIRGLNIA jinny College Course Motto: She moves a goddess, she looks a queen. Ambition: To sleep and sleep and sleep, etc. Sophomore l-Iallowe'en Dance Committee, 2: Junior Prom. Committee, 33 School Play, 3, 4g Masquerade Committee, 3: Debating Club, 3, LAUREL Board, 4: Class Essay, 4. We would like to say something about Virginia's trip to Bos- ton but she is rather reticent about it and as you value your life don't mention it. U Welcould scarcely expect a nun like Virginia to take any interest in a man with a name like Brother Dominique but then does he always come to see Brother William?

Barbara uses a small light, only one lfVatt , and she has a further interest in electricity now, refrigerators in particular. We didn't have Barb the Freshman year but the school that did certainly was lucky. GROVER, THELMA Thel Commercial Course Motto: Ulmitate the Sphinx. Ambition: To take Gloria Swanson's place in Zaza. School Fair Committee, Zig Refreshment Committee of Masquerade Dance, 3 Thelma can type more words in a minute than any other girl in the class and it can also be observed that her handwriting is about the only one that Miss Hueston doesn't go in convulsions over and that is saying something! lVhich one do you practice on Karl, Thelma?

Katherine of Freshman days was nothing like Kathryn of Senior days. If you clon't believe it look at the Freshman pic- ture and tl1en gaze at the picture on the left. It 's too bad for the Senior girls to pick on little red-headed Sophomores Cespecially innocent onesl when there are plenty of Juniors about. HODGKINS, NORMAN Prof General Course Motto: Early to bed and early to rise makes one healthy, wealthy and wise. Ambition: Stated below. Class Oratorg Debating Club, 3, 43 Debating Team, 3, 4: School Play, 35 Alumni Editor, 4. The ambition of Norman's life is to be a woman-hater, if ap- pearances aren't deceiving in the corridors. The only reason Norman wasn't fullback on the team this year was because he didn't go out for it. Q Norman is going to Normal School next year and if good work and faithful industry will get anyone anywhere he is sure to succeed.

There 's nothing like a. little draw! to make 'em think you 're wise. Some days when we can 't have Alice on the inside, she isn't far away on the outside. NENVEIIL, JULIA Julia Commercial Course Motto: Always put off until tomorrow what you could do today. Ambition: Never to have to hunt for Bobbie. Halloween Party, 2g School Fair, l. julia has a famous brother and has had a hard time try- ing to live up to him.

Phil was a studious and industrious boy until he came under the enticements of the fair sex. Now, look at him!

Cal has a particular fondness for old quakers, Roger Wil- liams for instance. It's lucky Cal has a sweet temper for you know those red heads-zip-bang-whooie! At the present time three suitors in the Senior class are wearing armor for sweet Cal's sake-a pitched battle is expected at any moment. Bowdoin challenges the winner.
