17 1 9 2 0 CLASS BOOK ELOISE MINERVA CLARK There is no limit to fun. Eloise is well endowed with “pep” and incidentally she knows the way to the office. She is one of the many who seek revenge on most of our teachers. We know a lot more about her, even her age, but we won’t tell. We hear that she jars on M. C. S.’s nerves, but as long as Eloise doesn’t care we don’t. What about that trip to Washington, and especially on the boat? Noted for her high ideal (?) MILDRED DOROTHEA CLARK “Stand back, please!” Mildred is another lively member of our noble class, and we imagine tha ' t she tears around out- side somewhat. As a junior she spent a good part of her time pulling teeth, or rather collecting class dues. Lately she has been endeavoring to put Jack- son out of business. Noted for her ability in managing the affairs of 1920, her attempt at basket ball, and her rapid fire debates. OSCAR ERNEST COLLINS “Society is a comfort to one who is not sociable.” This fits Oscar to a “T,” as the saying goes. He is another of the bunch that sees Annie the first hour and M. C. S. the sixth. He doesn’t mind, however, for he and Lane manage to get by without any trouble. He used to peddle papers once, but his big brother took the job away from him. Noted as a coming star in track and for those oral reports in Civics. GENEMEVE MAGDALAN CONLON “Pass her not, who seems a saint.” Genevieve is everybody’s friend and we all like her. She is different from most girls inasmuch as she does not use her tongue excessively. Her con- science is so prickly that it will not allow her to shirk studying, therefore she is smart. She is a hearty supporter of the excellent reputation of W. J. D.’s irgil class. A good sport, for she never lets candy pass her in the Latin class. Noted for her quietness. HARRIET MAE CROSSLEY “Before my mirror night and day, .At primping I am busy.” Harriet seems to be rather quiet around here, but we know a different story. Her attractions are all outside of school and we advise her to think less of “yours truly.” How about it, Harry? She can be very pleasing if she wants to, and sometimes we give her credit for it. She is not half bad at having a good time. Noted for her waves and cool outward manner. PAUL JOSEPH CORCORAN “I’m a har-r-rd guy!” “Kloby” has indeed gone to the bad of late. He stays out after eight o’clock at night ’n’ everything. It is even rumored that he has been seen smoking Cubebs. Such a state of affairs ! He certainly did great work for us, though, in the Class Play and he is also able to get along with his lessons. Noted for the “pull” he has with the faculty. SARAH LOUISE CORLISS “Just a little girl, not bigger than a doll.” W ' e only see “Lou” every other week, so cannot judge from appearances. She believes in a little study which perhaps accounts for her commercia ' abilit} ' and her “A’s.” Of late she is another quiet one, but “you never can tell.” Noted for her small voice, her constancy to Willy,” and her sister Helen. HELEN ELIZABETH CORLISS “My favorite study is boys.” Helen seems to indulge greatly in the above- mentioned study. You’d think so when you see the smile she gives them. Helen is seen quite frequently with — er Connie. We wonder if it is serious? No, it can’t be, for she is thinking of going to Normal next year. Noted for her popularity at Jackson’s ■ and her sister Louise. ALBERT FERDINAND COSSETTE “Honest labor bears a lovely face.” Al” is one of our independent industrial sharks. He seems to run things with Billy Hunter but it doesn ' t mean very much. He is planning on college next year. Good luck, Al. Noted for having perfect attendance for four years. MARY KATHRYN CRONIN Kate” is a hlonde, but rumor has it that Patsy likes blondes, so she has nothing to worry over. We hear that she is taking up law and will soon be the coming female lawyer of the country. Warning — Katherine, don’t let M. C. S. hear of this, or she will give you some of her ideas on running the U. S. She is also great pals with Miss Ordung, as shown by their close intimacy at recess. Favorite expression, “Gentlemen of the Jury.” Noted for her “backwardness.” LUKE AUGUSTINE CONRY “Hang Sorrow! Care will kill a cat And therefore let’s be merry.” Luke is our prominent pool player. He is surely related to Willie Hoppe or how does he get that way? We won’t say much but he sure admires one of the fair sex in the sophomore class. Long way home when you miss the last car, eh ? Noted for his ability to run the Sentinel. I

1 9 2 0 CLASS BOOK 19 TERESA MARION CROWLEY “Let the world slide, what care I?” Theresa is kept liusy gi)ing ' to the office every morning to see Miss Chase. . s a liookkeeping shark she is there, l)ut somehow we fear there is a tall, fair Junior that helps her a lot. She is a great mo ie enthusiast ami she doesn ' t always go alone. Noted for her walk. B E A T R I C E C L ' N N 1 N t; 1 1 A M “A little lovely girl, most dear and taking.” Bea is going to he someone ' s sweet stenographer some day, and that someone will be e.xceptionally lucky. She has dark brown eyes that laugh con- tinuously, as well as a smile that is always lurking round the corners of her mouth — and oh ! those diiiit ' .(s. But she will never grow tired of life as long as dancing is in vogue, for Bea” is a real dancer. Noted for her baby smile” and fondness for dancing. HELEN JANE 1). CE ■ “To frown is as easy as to smile.” Helen seems always to be in a business-like rush v henever you meet her, but we ha e known her to get stalled in a corner by ? She is quite a biology shark and some day may be a second Hoc. Howarth. Noted for her Specs.” WILLIA.M FRANCIS DOOLING “And like a Camel he stretches forth his neck to behold the surrounding countryside.” ‘‘Camel,” the her(nc buck private of our class, is certainly one of the best of Joe Fine ' s “57 varieties.” Incidentally he has thrown a good line to M. C. S. all year and has got away with it. We must admit, however, that a guy must be clever to pull an A” from Jimmy Mac. illiam” is also one of our best in theatricals, being a huge success in the Class Play. Noted as a great e.xponent of Mississippi Mar- bles.” LAURA LUCINDA FERGUSON “Her hair is rolled in many a curious fret Much like a curious coronet.” Laura is sure one of our active members. Ask anyone in the si.xlh hour Civics class. They all know. She is right there when it comes to a good time and can also pitch a baseball right over” every time. She made a hit at the Class Party, at least some- one thought so, but we won ' t say who. She works occasionally for Doc. Lamere keeping office and the rest of the time is spent “down on the farm.” Noted for those “fish hooks.” WAINO ENHOLM “Vessels larse may venture more. Hut little boats should keep near shore.” This above saying does not hit Skinny” as he is one of our hig memhers. He is our athlete, being captain of the football team and a star man in basket- ball. He also has enough wind to play a cornet and announce football games. Noted for those “slang expressions used on the platform and his dominating character. PHYLLIS CHRISTINE FARRAR “She hath a natural wise sincerity.” Phyllis is one of our Shirley girls. She is a ■Spanish shark and therefore one of the Major’s fatorites. It would seem sometimes as though she believed that little girls should be seen and not heard,” but we know that this is not always true. She is (luite patriotic, for we know she did quite a lot of entertaining when Devens was occupied. Noted for her rosy blush. PHILIP FIEGAR Phil” is a member of the trio but is very silent. He should divide with the others; Max needs some of it. We hear that he is going to school next year but just where is still not decided. Noted for being quiet. MERTON ELWIN FRASER “Speech is silver, silence is golden.” Morton believes in that little (juotation, “Chil- dren should be seen and not heard.” In fact, we have to look around the classroom to see if he is really with us. He is here only alternate weeks, so why pick on him? Noted for his business-like conduct. FRANCIS JOSEPH DWYER “His voice is ever the same — a deep monotone.” Hash-house” is generally with Mutt” and when together they are at I ' rederick ' s. He is in Simonds’ just now studying saws — and girls. He can get away with his studies and dtince at the same time, so why worry over him? Noted for his .Specs.” HILDA ELIZABETH EFVERMAN “Divinely tall and most divinely fair.” Hilda used to be with us all the time hut now she is running some business up West. She doesn’t ex- ercise her lung itower much in school but simply stares tbrough those windshields of hers. What abotit the Hostess House at Ayer? Well, she was engaged in war relief work once.
