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

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

FREDERICK WALTER HOYT. The golden opportunity is never ofliered twice. Fred is one of our two celebrated chimney sweeps. In spite of this, he usually has some excuse for not having things penetrate, and when he tried to drive something home, it ended in a trip to Burbank. Noted for his lack of funds. BURTON LAWRENCE JENNA. A small man, but bright withal, “Burt” is the shortest boy of our class, but the smallest things are not always the least. He is one of our numerous Industrial boys, spending every other week at school. “Burt” is not much when it comes to girls, but he is a bright student, and succeeds in getting good marks. Noted for his shortness. ARTHUR MAURITZ JOHNSON. wither thou goest I will go, my Ruth. Practical Arts is responsible for Arthur. He is another o ne of our recruits from G. M. Parks’s and has been one of the few tongueless members of the male sex in our class. Noted for his affection for the class artist. JOHN EMIL JOHNSON. As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. “John Johnson” takes the industrial course. He has served as star pitcher on our baseball team, but owing to some one in the cheering section he paid more attention to the sidelines than to the field. Noted for his thickness (in size). 28
