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.

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

JOHN EDWARD HERLIHY. “ I bid thee say, what manner of man art thou ?” John is one of the most popular men in the class. There isn’t anything slow about John and things move lively when he is around. He is quite fond of the girls and spends much of his time calling on them. Chief amusement — visiting the girls. RUTH VELiMA HILTON. “For mine is the Lay that lightly floats. And mine are the murmuring dying notes.’’ Ruth is a great singer and sometimes strikes high “C” by mistake while reciting. She is so studious that Marchant’s arm often aches carrying her books home from school. Noted for her beautiful penmanship. PERRY OLIVER HOLDEN. “ Eat, drink, and be merry.’’ Perry believes in getting some pleasure out of youth. He was never known to study to excess. Per- haps he may be considered a farmer because he comes from Shirley, but he knows a good cigar when he sees it. Noted for his fussing. LURA BEATRICE HOUGHTON. “And who shall match her with her new straw bonnet?’’ Lura is our star elocutionist. She leaves school at recess every day to get time to exercise her broncho before dinner. Noted as the equestrienne of the class. 21
