MARGARET STEARNS AYER. Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low. You could measure her height by the amount of her words. We have known her two years. As good as she is small. She is one of our many classmates headed for Normal, and we expect she will shine there. Noted for her size. ALICE TERESA BARNICLE. She’s a most exquisite lady. Alice considers herself one of our beloved faculty one week, and one of us the other ; but she is very likable every week. Her proofs for the pictures be- trayed her usual (?) habit of makings eyes at ? ? ? GLADYS MAE BEER. She looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew In accounting for the young lady’s good looks a strong argument would be that she comes from West Fitchburg. She meets her escort after school down at Hartwell street, and the young man usually takes his exercise by riding up West with her. Well ! Gladys is noted for her blushes. PAUL BARRETT BEERS. My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing a dear. “Kink” is another one of those who tries to work in a shop every other week. His hair on the top of his head curls like the hair on the back of a Pomeran- ian dog. Paul likes the girls and just at present is rather interested in a girl in Melrose Highlands. Noted for his regular attendance at the Board of Trade meetings. 17

ALICE ORDWAY ADAMS. Intelligence and courtesy are sometimes combined. Alice surely has never wasted time; works both inside and outside of school. Came to us in our Sophomore year and has ever since then, in a quiet vay, made her presence somewhat felt. She received honorable mention in the Mathematics Prize contest in her Junior year. Noted for her distinguished Deutsche. CLYDE WILLIAM ALBEE. It is a great plague to be too handsome a man. Noted for his artistic presentation of the modern dances. Always on the run to catch the car going South. Wherever you see “Cutie” there is always a crowd of girls. There is safety in numbers, Cutie. Famed as the man who still owes Bill Hunter a dollar. RUTH NEAMIE ANDERSON. A maid of graee and complete majesty. Well, Ruth, some day we expect to see a portrait of Arthur, done by the aid of thy artist’s brush, hang- ing on the walls of the Louvre. Ruth may always be seen at the dances. Noted for her artistic designs. WALTER EDWARD ANDERSON. The elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, “This was a man!” Walter is the envy of all the other boys in the Senior Play. Why? N’importe. Walter helps to keep us alive and out of the hospital by sweeping up the germs which we leave after each session of school. His oratorical ability is the pride of the class, and we expect some day to hear some of his speeches in Congress. 16

MARGARET EVA BLAKELY. I hear a voice you cannot hear, Which says I must not stay ; I see a hand you cannot see, Which beckons me away. Margaret has a strong liking for romantic names; for instance, Percival and Reginald. We shall be sorry to lose her beaming countenance, for she is now going to far-off New York state to the Percy of her dreams and expects to “live happily ever after.” Noted for her piano teaching. J. G. T. CATHERINE FRANCES BRAY. A still, small voice. Kitty is always there with the lessons. In fact, she spends so much of her time studying that she hasn’t any left in which to grow. Noted for her nice, little voice. EDGAR LEWIS BUGBEE. I am asleep, do not awaken me. Edgar is always asleep until Marion arrives. Then he gets up energy to talk a little. Chief occupation, falling in love. Edgar always leaves the lunch counter early — we wonder why? MARION RUTH BURGESS. Wide is the gulf between me and man. Marion is little but she is wise. She always has her lessons, but she gets the teachers’ goat by not ex- citing her tongue very much. We think Marion will be a fervent suffragette because of her strong voice and her fondness for the men. 18
