IDA EDITH DUBINSKY Hercules in his prime paled at the sight of her. Ida, unlike the majority of us, is generally seen, in- stead of heard. The majority might do well to follow her splendid example of (piietness. We hear that she served as an excellent substitute in the typewriting department this year. It would be impossible to make any statement as to Ida’s whereabouts outside of school hours, for then she is seldom seen. MAY JOSEPHINE DUNN I chatter, chatter, as I go. Here is one of our lunch counter treasurers. Yes, it is she who does all the talking, selling of checks, counting of money and wiping of dishes. Perhaps it is the good air of West Eitchburg that makes her so accommodating. MAUD DURKIN Were eyes not made to flirt with? Maud is one of our lively members and seems to de- light in a code of eye flirtation. She has had several regulars but as we are not weather prophets no prediction is made as to who will be her ne.xt. Reports from 27 (unofiicial)say that Harold is thinking of proposing, an idea to Miss Fuller. Altho Maud hails from West it isn’t her fault. Well, here’s luck, Maud. Noted for her baby stare. ALICE EVANGELINE EARLS Her modest looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Alice has been one of our busybodies, always happy, and trying to make everybody else happy. She certainly showed us she had some dramatic ability at the Junior Reception to the Class of 1916. If you’re looking for a sunny disposition, “GET IT AT EARLS.’’ We expect to see her at college next year and she surely will add to the fame of the F. H. S. 27

CARL APPLETCN DONOVAN Spellbound the populace as on Mercury ' s wings 1 speed. “Pasty” is the personification of languidness but per- haps this is necessary for he is employed as a messenger boy. One of our most stunning awakenings however was dealt out when Pasty made good on our relay team last year. Outside of running he starred in Prof. Howarth’s biology class. He does not trouble about the girls and plans to join the O. B. club. MARGUERITE ROSE DONOVAN Earth’s noblest thing a woman perfected. Marguerite is one of our hustlers. Although small she is always busy at something as she considers idleness a sin. Her cheerful smile dispels the gloom that hovers o’er our rooms. She is seen at socials and claims her escort is her brother but — we’re from Missouri. MARGARET MARY DOOLING Her air, her manners, all who saw admired. Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired. Margaret is one of our happy members and doesn’t let anything worry her. Not believing in grinding her marks are always high. Its rumored she has been affilicted with a disease of the heart and we’re waiting develop- ments. She has a pleasing smile that reminds one of room 37. ELLEN ROBINSON DOW I am no orator, as Brutus was, I only speak right on.” Ellen and this quotation go well together. She has been thrown more or less into the lime light by the fre- quent summons to report at the office to M. H. C. or return to the library a book, per order of B. L. S. Ellen and Evelyn are so companionable that they seem bound together by chains. 26

EDITH IX(;ERB0G EEX ' ERMAX Say that she frowns; I’ll say she looks as clear As morning roses washed with dew. Edith’s cheeks are the envy of all the females in the school. Some are suspicious of them — but they needn’t be, for we know better. We wager that she never had to write out that awful sentence for communicating while passing — because she rarely does talk anyway. Just the same, one doesn’t need to tell all one knows, to be wise. ALFRED LESTER FELCH What I have been taught I have forgotten; what I know I have guessed. Tink is Jiggadier Brindle of the Royal Order of Knaves. He is strong for the ladies — especially Helen of Concord. Transportation fees must be the limit! They say he can be serious, but you can’t make his teachers believe it. Xotorious for his stock of pencils, brilliant remarks, and as patron of room 24 in the afternoons. EDITH FILAXSKY A fairy thing with red, round cheeks. Edith is one of our little ones who spends her time pretending to study and bluffing the teachers. We always thought Edith was quiet and unassuming until we saw her pictures — but — O, those eyes!! One of Wool- worth’s valuable help. ISRAEL FIXE Hold the Fort! I am coming! Issy certainly can throw the bull as he demonstrated to us one morning in Assembly Hall. He has taken a decided liking to the fair sex of late, but this is only natural so we won’t condemn him for this. He is right there in Opie’s lessons and we expect great things from him. 28
