THE CLASS OF 1914,

Then, wishing to keep the school in ood order, we took it in our hands to remove the very detrimental Senior flag from the top of the building, although we were urged by Mr. Woodbury not to bother about it. In athletics our class also excelled. Through the toilings of Des- mond, Holton, Porter, Vose, Howarth, Johnson, Reardon, Fine, Remal, Joyce, and Davis, we were able to win the league champion- ship in football; and in basketball, with Fogarty, Johnson, Water- house, and Vose we won the same high honor. The class showed its spirit at the choosing of a dedicatee for the class book and still again at the meeting held to plan money- raising schemes. We had a thrilling speech on making the book “a business proposition” and using dedicatees as “advertisements.” By this spirit the book committee were stirred up and have, in the short period of four weeks, published this, the best of all class books. In patriotism too, we are of the highest order. At the beginning of our troubles with Mexico, our Senior football squad volunteered their services, and this fact was the direct instigator of the splendid letter of appreciation of our class which President Wilson sent us. In fact, the Juniors are the only body who do not appreciate our worth, but to these we say, “May they follow along this same course of intelligence, behavior, athletics, school spirit, and patriotism, and then they too will appreciate those who have beaten out this pathway, paved with yellow roses and shaded with everblooming laurels,” for now at graduation we stand on the top rung of our ladder, not toppling back, but ready to put our foot upon the clouds, than which no mortal can hope to ascend higher. 13

GEORGE EATON DANIELS. “Let George do it.” And he did. George has been a most efficient president this year, and has l)ecome a prime favorite with us all. We are sure he will become as popular at Dartmouth, to which college George must needs proceed next year. Lie is noted for three things — his speeches, his smile, and his blush. HAZEL ANNA FITZGIBBON. First favorite, not without cause. For two years Hazel has been the leading girl in cur class as vice-president, and has always been the most popular. She believes in having a good time and has helped make life cheerful in F. H. S., but her lessons have always been up to “A” mark just the same. Hazel is fond of a lot of finery, especially bows (beaux). Noted for her ability to write other people’s secretarial reports. F. F. F. EDITH MARION JOEL. Wisdom sits alone topmost in heaven. As secretary of the class Edith has been most effi- cient and popular. She is a hard worker and we congratulate her upon her winning a scholarship. Au- thor of the class poem. We suggest to Edith the keeping of an engagement book to avoid making fudge unnecessarily. Favorite occupation, repairing broken furniture. J. G. T. ROBERT BULLOCK MILLER. Look at that scamp of sanctimonious style, Who pilfers millions with a harmonious smile. j “Bob” has held our class funds for two years but has never exerted himself in collecting dues. They say Bob is some musician, at least he plays second fiddle in the “Morse Orchestra.” He is one of our best men and is a friend to everybody. Manager of Track. Lambda Sigma. 15
