BERNARD FRANCIS SHEA So slant and cheerful, So jolly and gay. When it became necessary to choose a leader for our progressive class, we all agree that a better or more efficient president could not have been found. He not only believes in the Golden Rule, but practices it and when questions and matters of class importance arise, he settles them with a manner and wisdom not unlike Solomon. However Bun” does not always take the serious side of life for we have heard certain rumors lately of those frequent, romantic tours in the ‘‘big city.” with a charm- ing, well-known debutante of tender years. Nevertheless Bun” always takes things easy and allows no person or thing to intervene in his official duties of making the Class of 1921. the best that was, is, or ever will be. HELENA HYNES 1 believe in doing exactly what I should, Not putting off until to-morrow as some others would. Lena has been our competent vice-president for two years and who could hope to officiate any better? She has never shirked her responsibilities and has worked faithfully to uphold the standard of our class. Not only that, but she has also served on several com- mittees for the interests of all the girls in the school. Further, she is a speaker of great ability, and whenever any important subject is to be discussed, or any matter concerning school life is to be presented, Helena is right there. Notwithstanding this oratorical ability, we under- stand that she is more or less inclined to leave that flowery path, outside of school hours, and to be content to converse in love’s baby-talk with her li’l Jimmy. IRENE CELIA McGOWAN None knew her but to love her, No7ie named her but to praise. Besides being our efficient secretary for two years, Irene has been our friend through all our trials and tribu- lations. She certainly believes in the old proverb, A friend in need, is a friend indeed.” Most of Irene’s spare time is spent in Worcester, and we all know why. She sure can trip a light fantastic toe, especially at those Worcester Tech, dances. She is also somewhat of an actress and it is a well- known fact that her future ambitions lie in a stage career, although this depends more or less on what Freddie says, as he has had a great deal to say concerning her actions during recent years. FRANCIS WILLIAM BUCKLEY Smile and the world smiles with you. Toot! Toot! make way everybody for the fat man with the Tin-Lizzie” who has won his way into the hearts, and inspired the confidence of the Class of 1921. Not only has Buck proved himself a capable treasurer, but has also made a name for himself in athletics, especially on the foot-ball field where he has starred for three years. He is also president of the Athletic Association and president of the Senior Crocker Club, which duties de- mand a great deal of his attention. And, as an actor, oh. my! but you should see him. Whether condemning the villain of the fiercest type, or wooing the most beautiful heroine that ever lived, he does it with an ease and perfection that would make a professional hide with shame. As a last word, we wish to say that a more honest, respectable, full-blooded, real .American fellow could not be found anywhere.
