( MURIEL GERTRUDE ELLIOTT. “Oh those eyes! those bewitchin’, bewitchin’ e3 ' es !’’ For four years Muriel has led a happy-go-lucky, care-free life, and when she went West she left behind her many friends. It is said that Muriel is fickle but we may say that she is still true to “ Howdy.” Noted for those eyes. PEARL MILDRED FARNSWORTH. “A simple maid and proper too.’’ Pearl is certainly one of the class grinds She does not believe in life’s frivolities and pleasures and there- fore has partaken of few in our high school life. Noted for her faithful studying. MARGARET LORETTA FARRELL. “Whistling girls and crowing hens Always come to some bad end.” The corridors, in spite of rules to the contrary, are filled with Margie’s musical tunes. She delights in drawing caricatures of the teachers and performing original chemistry experiments. Noted for her whistle. LENA MAE FLAGG. “Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly with- stand.” Lena studies some and talks more. She likewise spends a good deal of time in trying to reform Kirby. Noted for her strict non-observance of the rules. 18

WILLIAM FRANCIS DALY. “And e’en though vanquished he cotild argue still.’’ Bill has the honor not only of being the hand- somest man in the chiss but also the soeial lion. He is the authority on parliamentary law in class meet- ings and in the Debating Club. lie makes a living by earning prizes in speaking contests. Noted for his humor. ELLEN SHEPHliRD DANIELS. “Tliy modesty a candle to thy merit.’’ Ellen is an all-round shark who studies more than most of us care to. Ellen doesn’t say much but when ' it comes to doing things she is right there with the goods. Noted for her modesty. DANIEL GILES DESMOND. “All things come round to him who will but wait.’’ “Chickie” doesn’t believe in hurrying, and demon- strates this every time he is called on to recite, yet we hear that he is captain of a fast baseball team. Chief amusement — baseball. MARY PATRICIA DONAHOE. “ For length and breadth the bigness which you see.’’ Whenever Patricia enters into an argument she bears more weight than any three of her opponents. But despite her diminutiveness she is one of our jolly members. Noted for her laugh. 17

BESSIE MARTHA FORBES. “My sole hope lies in Leap-year.” Bessie is Scotch and sonsie. Like Mr. Woodbury, she believes that studying is all important while in school. Chief occupation — grinding. DOROTHY GODFREY. “ With words of wondrous and ponderous sound.” Two years ago Dorothy left Mt. St. Mary’s Acad- emy for the more gay life of F. H. S. Since then she has managed to keep herself and everybody else rather busy. 1910 couldn’t get along without “Dot,” for she is the shining light of the class. Noted for her liking for small (?) boys. ELLEN JEANETTE GORAY. “Before my mirror night and day, At primping I am busy.” Yes, Ellen has some hair but the high school fel- lows do not quite come up to her standard, so she confines herself to an outsider. (Poor class spirit, Ellen.) Noted for her wealth of crimps. GERTRUDE LAURA GOVE. “Her air, her manner, all who saw admired.” “Trudv” has been one of our most active mem- bers, has served on various committees, attended all the dances and still has found time to flirt with F. F. Noted for her love of argument. 1 9
