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

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

GEORGINA SMART CALDOW. Society is not a comfort to one not sociable. She has not shocked us with any scandalous be- havior so far, but we still have hopes of an awakening. She proved an invaluable assistant to Woods on the class photography committee. We expect Georgy will be head nurse in an orphan’s asylum some day. RUTH JANE CASWELL. Sober, steadfast, and demure. Another Minorite. She loves to show her authori- ty in correcting beginners. Has a strange attraction for Sophomore boys. Noted for her hair. ELIZABETH ALICE CLARK. With malice toward none, with charity for all. One of our most brilliant and honored sisters. Interested in Red and Gray; Debating, and Literary Club. She has something to do with everything in F. H, S. but love; and for that she goes to Leominster. Chief occupation, singing “Nearer, my God, to Thee.” Amen. FLORENCE MARY CONDON. One of Erin’s fair daughters. Floss would love to shine as a lady. Has condes- cending manners and ascending ideals. Spends most of her time in McDonald’s coal office acting as book- keeper. Future leading lady at Auditorium. 19
