Some of ns wonder if he knows wh;it snhjecls he is Uiking. The great mystery, though, is where he spends his sptire time. W e don ' t know, so ask him. Popular e.xpression, ' Woiise Guys.” SUMNER GORDON KEAN ■‘.Arise ,in l shake the hayseed from off thy feet.” Sum” is our regular farmer and comes from way down W’anoosnoc road.” During the winter he had some fun getting here when the snow was jfiled u]) around his neck. He is plannin.g on going to W orcester Tech, next year, hut really he should go to .Vmherst. Noted for his “athletic ability” and his pull with Annie Dunn. MADELINE HELEN KERSHAW savage gale hlew up.” Madeline is one of our little rebels. W’e believe that she .gets into hot water with some of her teach- ers, hut we hojic, Madeline, that all will he well soon. She worked at W’halom last summer and met sev- eral school teachers (?). She is the sort of person that can have a good time anywhere and any place. HELEN TRUE KLEIN ■‘Better be small and shine than to be great and throw a shadow.” For four years we have enjoyed Helen ' s good disposition. We rejoice to say that she has always seemed to disturb Miss Haskins, for someone ought to. Helen is studious and we venture to say that she rarely gets stuck in anything. We are certain that she will prove her worth at Simmons as well as she has here. Noted for her htthhy of writing notes. EDWARD KINLOCH ‘■I am not up to small deceit or any sinful games.” Eddy” is one of our workers. He is winning great fame as a Roy Scout” also, especially up West. Will he ever grow up, and keep away from the kids ? Occupation: Keepin.g the moths out of his scout suit. ALFRED DOMINIC LAP.ARGE ‘Good stuff comes in small packages.” “Cy sure did good work on our lionoral)le l)askct ' hall team, even though he is rather short. Cy is also a part-time student, so we don’t see him as much as we should like to. A ' oted for abov e said basketball aliility, and size. WILFRED CRAIG LANE “Silence is golden.” Wilfred lives in a se(|uestered sphere of his own. He doesn ' t even speak to his friends evn the street. 1 le is sure to make good on the cinder track in the future, as he is ever present at Crocker h ' ield. We hear that he is well aceptainted with hugs.” Oh, why so l)ashful, Wilfred? Noted for that line” of his. PAULINE LARSON “The light that lies, in woman’s eyes.” Paul” is a veritable speed king. She is one of our ener.getic young ladies and is quite an athlete. The 11. S. hoys hold no interest for her, as most of us know. We wonder why? If things don ' t come as they should for Pauline someone is liable to gel hurl, for she must have her own way. Noted for her love of hoys and her constancy to ■Ree.” ALRERT SUMNER LAWRENCE “My quest is knowledge.” President of the Classical Club. When it comes to studying and knowing some- thing, Sumner is right there. He is always prepared in class. 1 le has won several prizes, and we be- lieve there are more coming his way. Sumner be- lieves in play as well as work, and is always present at our dances. We wonder how he is coming out with in the Class Play? Noted for his A’s and those becoming windshields. PRISCILLA LAWRENCE “I have no men to govern in this school. That is my only woe.” Priscilia is J’s constant companion and they are well mated. If you have once heard them laugh you ' ll never forget them. You will often see Priscilla at Shea’s theater, always near the piano. She’s fond of the music (?) or jverhaps she wants to see the jiicture better. , ' s an artist she can’t he beaten. We wonder somewhat about those dancing parties she ( ' riginales. Noted for her aloofness, and consideration of Juniors. RICHARD H. RRIS LAWRENCE “Slow but sure, and very cheerful.” Dick is so quiet that we hear little aliout him. We are sure that he is doing nothing worse than tending to his own affairs. But Dick believes in having a good time when possible. Noted as Miss Dunn’s favorite pupil (?) and those automobile trips.

27 1 9 2 0 CLASS BOOK MARY MAY LeBLANC “Marie” is a quiet sort of girl hut always ready to see the fuii go on. She happened to he a great booster for Michon when her pictures came out. But, why not? We wonder if it was real French she i)u!led off in the I ' rench play trying to ex|)lain things to Sumner? We will give her credit if she can explain anything to him. We ctin ' t. Noted for her Ever-ready smile and “petite dehonier.” ALFRED LINDBERG “.Socrates had nothing on me.” “Lin” is in our Industrial Class hut we helieve he shouldn ' t he there. We e.xpect some day to see a new dictionary hut as yet nothing has been done. Piston rings also fit well with Lindherg. Opie” Hunter should take advantage of this. Noted for his howling ability (?). MARY THERESA LOMBARD “Ambition was her middle name.” Mary is rather quiet around here, as she is with us only every other week. We don’t know much about you, Mary. Why not introduce yourself. She wears goggles anyway and is noted for aforesaid ambition.” LEO ANTHONY LOCNEY Leo fell into a good job when the hank started this year at school. We wonder if he will try to run J. D. R. out of business some day? We have hopes l)Ut even if he doesn’t we feel sure he will get some- where. MELVIN ANDREW LYNCH “I’ll improve with age.” Lynch never seems to he in any great hurry, ex- cept, of course, when a lady is the subject in mind. Lynch happens to he director of a promising jazz hand {?). Studies don’t bother him ery often any- way. Noted for his jazz hand. LENA IRMA MARSHALL “Give and you will receive.” Secretary of the Dramatic Club. Lena rides to school every morning in her car. She runs a candy booth down at the lunch counter with Bessie as her assistant. She has been known to give six cents’ worth of candy for a nickel ! .Kny- hody want a page? Well, call on Lena, as she had experience at Cumings Theater the night the Dra- matic Club convened. Noted for her generosity ( ?) and her ability at Iver’s. FRANCES ELEANOR MATTHEWS “Her greatest pleasure is in her work.” As a member of our class Frances has proved indispensable. .-Mthough we see her only every other week, she is always the same and her cheerfulness prevails over us all. She is helping run the Safety Fund, and we are sure that they never had a more faithful assistant. She can most always he found with Mildred. HELM I JOHANNA M.ATTSON “When you do dance, I wish you were a wave of the sea That you might never do nothing but that for me.” Flelmi is another member of the midgets, hut still the old saying holds true about good things coming in small packages, llelmi is perhaps one of Miss Ordung’s favorites the week she is in school, and perhaps not. .She is seen with a certain i)er.son a numlier of times, hut he must dance or he is not good. Ambition — lo he taller than her sister. F ' avorite expression : Sure, you can have this dance.” WILLIAM HENRY MrAULIFF “In strange tongues I speak with ease.” Bill is the only one here who can lalk with him- self so that no one knows what he is saying, not even himself. He took Greek from Mr. Doolkig so that accounts for it. He is never seen out late at night — and girls! My gracious, no I He did fine work in the h ' rench ])lays, which goes to show he knows something. Noted for his large amount of “hot air.” MARY ALICE McCORMACK “Breezy and jolly she always is.” “Mac” is an ambitious girl; she wauls to lie an actress. So is starting at the bottom, she ushers at the Lyric. Some members of the school, however, make her much flustrated” so that several mis- deals occur. . t school she is found in Gert’s com- ])any most of the time. F’avorite expression: “Seen Gert ?” SIGRID ELVIRA MEYER “The light that shone in her heavenly eyes, Bespoke a divinely good nature.” Sigrid is a most demure little miss, hut then ap- pearances are often deceiving — for ask Henry and then ‘A ' ou’d he .Surprised.” She is one of Jackson’s prize winners in the beauty contest, hut then she is not to blame for that. Noted for her innocence and charming features.
