ARLINE CARINA PERSONS. “Not much talk, a great sweet silence “ Arline has been very quiet during her High School course, either because she does not wish to tell all she knows, or because of the difficulty she has in catching her breath. Noted for her walk. AIARY CATHERINE PINE. “And oft with holy hymns She charmed our ears.’’ Mary plays for us mornings. 1 ' here is not much gloom when she is around.

Chief occupation — Chasing cars. THOMAS ALEREI) MONAHAN, JR. “All great men are dying, and I am feeling ill.’’ Alfred is not given to making rash decisions. No, on the contrary, he is very, very deliberate in his ac- tions. If he is asked a question five minutes before the close of an hour, the last bell is sure to ring be- fore he has an answer prepared. Noted for his slow- ness of speech. LUCY MAY MONTGOMERY. “ And never blush was on mj ' face.’’ Luc ' is a great student, although she does not make so much noise about it as some others.
