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

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

AUSTIN FISH Tlie ocean I would love to wade in, But bubbling brooks I should have stayed in. “Coach” is a genuine farmer and tries to explain how everything works from a jumping-jack to a Ford, During football he introduced a new system but owing to his Shirley address it was overlooked. He certainly heli)ed out the coach! (?). Austin says that the great white way comes nigh being a little better than Shirley Centre. Better think it over “Coach.” Notorious for his football system. PERCIVAL FITZGERALD Come, pay me homage! .• t least, respect my name. “Percy” is some boy, so P 1 thinks. He’s a draftsman, Chamber of Commerce checker, chief buller of the C. I. C. and has several other accomplishments. He plays basketball, the violin, and kelly (?). He is high up on the Y. M. C. A. roster, and it is expected his John Hancock will appear in “Who’s Who” soon. GERTRUDE RUTH FLANAGAN Upon wdiat meal doth this our Caesar feed That she is grown so great. Gert is one of our most popular members. Does not believe in worrying for fear of losing some avoirdu pois. Distinguished herself in the T. A. S. Show. Gert is kept busy plucking out Cupid’s darts. Notorious for her voice and her laugh. MARY LOUISE FLEMING A maiden, bold of spirit, not bold and shy. Welcome — even if you do hail from West Fitchburg! Mary is always on the alert and is very jolly. By the by — this seems to bring her attention from “Dave,” Haven’t you noticed it? How ’bout it, Mary? True? True. Notorious for her quarrels with Elinor 29
