LORIN BAKER JOHNSON. The news! my morning, noon, and evening cry. Day after day repeat it till 1 die. “Pink” is one of the shining lights of Miss Smith’s wonderful sixth hour Civics class. He made a splendid record on the football and basketball teams. Inci- dentally he has found time to visit North street con- tinually, for Pink is an ardent advocate of Fletcherism. Lambda Sigma. MABEL FREDERICKA JOHNSON. Silence in woman is like spe eli in man ; Deny it who can. Mabel has managed to keep quiet in school, but we have heard she has been in several affairs outside, though none were serious. She likes the movies and we expect to see her a star in them some day. Mabel showed her class spirit by serving on the Thanksgiving dance committee. Noted for her attachment for a baby carriage. EDWARD PATRICK JOYCE. The night was made for sleep. “Harp” is another Fitchburg fellow who has lost his heart, hand, and pocketbook in North Leominster. He has tried football, baseball and track and has had bad luck in all cases. We want to know if his hou.se hasn’t got any front doors. Noted for his early hours and his back door exit. Newman Club. FANNIE LOTTIE KABATCHNICK. True as the needle to the pole Or as the dial to the sun. We hear Fanny in Assembly Hall, but not too often, for she is “some” orator, especially when she reads the secretarial reports for the Literary Society. Noted for her marcel wave. 29

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

JOHN FRANCIS KANE. Chust a lecdle man, no big er as a doll. John is one of those who was too brilliant to wish to graduate with the preceding class, and therefore voluntarily joined ours. He is one of the baseball team, and is one of the remarkable outfielders, being in the same class as Vose. Noted for his original Mathe- matics proofs (?). Newman Club. MADELINE AGNES KEATING. Work — work — work ! My labor never flags. Madeline is one of those whose worth is obscured. She did much in raising money for this book, espe- cially along the junk line; and she also procured some advertisements. Noted for her neat appearance. HAROLD JOHN KELLY. Ill habits gather by nnseen degrees. “Slide” is one of Mr. Hunter’s specimens, known as the Lizard. He was captured in the wilds of Blake’s machine shop and is being trained by Monsieur Hun- ter. They feed him on a bottle and once a week he is allowed to go up on Whittemore street. Noted for his fluency in various languages. MARY VIRGINEA KERSHAW. She never told her love. We have let Mae mind her own affairs because she always has seemed to want to. Hard studying will never have any visible effects on her health, but she loves a good time, especially at dances. Noted for her quietness. 30
