MARY ELvSIIi LKNEHAN. “The social smile, the sympathetic tear. Elsie wears the smile that never comes off. In the midst of all her other duties she still finds time to play the piano in the orchestra and has shown reat abilities on the stage. Noted for her good nature. MARION CHARLOTTE LEONARD. “At each stride a mile she measured.” Marion is another of our German sharks, although she is rather deliberate in her answers. She generally has her arms full of books to make her look studious. Noted for her goggles. MARION ELSIE LEONARD. “She knits her childish brow With stout resolve to evolve Some mountain-sized idea.” Marion may be termed short and sweet. She is very active and is never quiet. Her tongue seems to have discovered the secret of perpetual motion. She is always mistaken for Marion C. Leonard. WINIFRED JANE LIVERMORE. “I have gentle words wherewith to greet thee.” Winifred is so tall that strangers often mistake her for a member of the faculty. She seems to enjoy life and usually has her lessons. Noted for her height. 24

ESTHER ALMERA KINGSBURY. “A sound so fine there’s nothing lives ’Twixt it and silence.” When we entered as Freshmen, Esther was waiting for us. She was a star chemistry student her Junior year. She has made very little stir about school, scarce raising her voice above a whisper. Chief amusement — getting up at five o’clock to study. JAMES HERBERT KIRBY. “Variety’s the very spice of life that gives to all its flavor.” “Red” is another of our athletes and is a star football and baseball player. He also does not be- lieve in overloading his brain with studying. He has such a liking for neighboring towns that he is seldom seen in Fitchburg outside of school hours. Chief amusement — smoking. LEMPI EMELIA KOSKI. “What’s in a name?” Lempi is so silent that we haven’t been able to learn much about her. She never makes any unnec- essary noise in going through the corridors or in reci- tations. Chief occupation— studying. ALICE COMEE LAVERS. “Ten thousand angels on her slumbers wait, With glorious visions of her future state.” Alice is one of our liveliest and when she isn’t into mischief she is making eyes at — well, never mind, you are too curious. Noted for her happy state of mind. 23

RUTH GERTRUDE MANEY. “Sober, steadfast, and demure.” Ruth has worked hard for four years for her diplo- ma. She believes that silence is golden, and so works much and says little. Chief occupation — studying. ARTHUR JACKMAN MARCHANT. “ And when a lady’s in the case You know all other things give place.” Arthur’s chief weakness is girls, and he has a new one every little while. Ruth is his latest. He holds the record for quick studying, for he can get six les- sons from 8.05 to 8.1,5. Chief amusement — visiting Ruth STEPHEN JAMES MARKHAM. “As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.” “Sky” has dreamed along with us for four years without over-exerting himself until he was chairman of the second Senior Class Party. We alwa3’S thought him good-natured until lately, when he has proven to be “cross.” Chief occupation — dodging work. CHARLES HENRY MCCARTHY. “Who to a woman trusts his peace of mind. Trusts a frail bark with a tempestu ous wind.” This must be Charlie’s motto, for he surelv lives up to it and trusts no woman with his. He much prefers bluffing to studying and spends much of his time in making trouble for the teachers. Noted for his attempts at bluffing. 25
