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

( 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

HANNA LOUISE GUSTAFSON. Tlien she will talk — ;;ood gods — how she will talk!” Hanna ' s voice is often raised in remonstrance, as Air. Delano could testify. She spends her study hours in whispering or reading newspapers. Noted as a staunch supporter of Woman’s Rights GIFFORD NEWTON HARTWELL. ” Measure not men by Sundays without regarding what the v do all the rest of the week.” Gifford is a true sport. He has a girl and goes to church with her every Sunday night. He is so in- terested in telegraphy that he finds little time for studying. Noted for bluffing. CATHERINE MARION HASSETT. “Let me have men about me that are fat.” Catherine practices this doctrine, for she and Pa- tricia are inseparable. She is one of the quiet mem- bers of the class. Noted for her shining tresses. JOHN JOSEPH HEALY. ‘‘Oh what a noble mind is here o’erthrown.” Healy keeps pretty quiet in school but lets out at recess, when he generally indulges in a grand rough- house in 26. No one ever yet saw him study but we still have hopes. Noted for his irrepressible humor.
