HELEN MARIE HASSET. Dip nity and austerity rule supreme. “Sticks” is some good-looking girl and also quite speedy in shorthand. Her heart left F. H. S. when a certain young man did, hut cheer up, Helen, there will he others at normal school next year. Noted for her lofty air. HERMAN OSCAR HOHBERGER. Smiling always with a never-failing serenity of countenance. Herman thinks he will be an orator some day, judging from appearances at recess. His chief occu- pation is studying, but loafing comes a close second. He is noted for his arguments for the financial side of the class book. HAROLD HENRY HOLDEN. All dressed up and nowhere to go. “Fat” has a pretty good opinion of himself and likes to be considered a “tough guy.” He has never done any studying and bluffs all the time except in examinations. He drives an auto on the side and we expect to see him chauffeur for Tommy Blood some day. AMY CATHERINE HOLLAND. So much good so truly tried Some for her were deified. “Mon Amie” has been pretty busy this year an- swering letters, receiving callers, and acting in her official capacity as custodian of cast-off class pins. Amy is headed for Radcliffe, where she hopes to become learned enough to teach French (at F. H. S.?). J. G. T. 26

ISABELLE MIRIAM GILCHREST. Ilow pretty lier blushing was, and how •he blushed again ! Miriam soothes our troubled spirits every morn- ing with her violin. We hear that she is quite skilled ill playing love songs on Sunday nights for a certain young boy, but we do not know whether to expect to see her in the Boston Symphony Orchestra or settled down happily. Noted for her happy-go-lucky air. MERRILL ALEXANDER GREENE. I’ve often wushcd that 1 had clear For life, six hundred pounds a year. “Greenie” seems to have a rather difficult time holding down a job this year. We expect to see him foreman of an establishment of his own some day, for that will be the only thing which would assure him steady and satisfactory employment. MARGUERITE THEODORA GRIFFIN. The blushing beauiics of a modest maid. Marguerite has inspired us with her poems and has also served on the joke department of the Red and Gray. She spends all her time warding off Cupid’s arrows, but gets her lessons and makes a good time wherever she goes. Chief occupation, entertaining Mr. Edmands’ “bug” class with caricatures. F. F. F. ROBERT ELLSWORTH HADLEY. “When the Devil was ill, the Devil a saint would be; “When the Devil was well, the Devil a saint was he.’’ Bob shows his patriotism by manufacturing shells v ith which to kill off the Mexicans. He is an able follower of Mr. Primeau and we expect to see him occupying one of Uncle Sam’s prominent positions in the near future. He ain’t ugly. 25

RICHARD ARTHUR HOLTON. L’homme de cent filles ! Dick is never so happy as when surrounded by girls. We wonder why he is so fond of Low(e) per- sonages, but perhaps Mary can solve the riddle. We advise him to secure a secretary. He is prominent in football, baseball, and track. He is very bashful (in the play with his bride only). Chief occupation, call- ing. Zeta Phi. JOHN FRANCIS HORGAN. What is a woman to me or I to her, That I should speak to her ? John has been our hardest problem to tackle. For four years we have tried to convince him that there are better things to do in school than to study, biit we haven’t succeeded. He sometimes forgets himself and smiles and he has once been known to laugh. Probably when he gets to Holy Cross he will be chosen captain of the Teedle-dee Wink Club. Noted for his love for the girls (?). HELEN MARIE HOUGHTON. Any rags, any bones, any bottles today? Marie is noted for her energy and hustle. She is responsible for the individual cuts in the class book and for this we thank her. Vermont is Marie’s favorite state in the Union — and there’s a reason why. She is also fond of “Dicky birds.” Chief occupation, writing- letters. J. G. T. EVERETT FREDERIC HOWARTH. I love diamonds — but oh, 3 ' ou Opal ! “Ev” was one of our strong men on the football team, but failed to make good in basketball. He is one of the best-natured fellows in the class. He has tried all year to influence Miss Cowles that he is the smart- est in the class, but hasn’t succeeded yet. Noted for the length of his chemistry period. Lambda Sigma. 27
