GERTRUDE IRENE ( ' .IBSON I am always merry. Gert is one of tlie brilliant pupils in the Commercial Course. How she does it we don’t know for between books and Jimmy her time is pretty well taken up. Noted for her constancy to Jimmy and great fondness for the latest in dancing, .‘ nother one of Mr. Amiott’s stenographers. CLIFFORD GILBERT In arguing, loo, the person armed his skill-, For e ' en Ihough conquered, he could argue slill. When it comes to debating and arguing, in Clifford ' s case, it’s “Lead me to it. If noise were pennies, he ' d be a millionaire, for it ' s no use arguing with him for he’s always right anyway. We are thinking of sending him to Charlie to argue out a two-session-a-week plan, but that would be mean, for what chance would poor Mr. C. T. have? How about last fall when he told Frank a photographer couldn’t light up the assembly hall? NORMAN J. GODBEER IVe think loo lillle Who talk ho much. Of late we have missed the little old Norm, from our ranks, but he has been called to greater things, i.e., was summoned by the F. B, C. to take up a business training there that he might more speedily take up the duties of a prominent business man. 23 ELLEN OLIVIA GROOP .1 girl, light-hearted and content I wander through the world. Ellen is a (juiet girl and takes everything as it conies. She is another part-time student and is the City Treasurer during that time. It is said that two blondes can’t agree but judging from what we hear and see, Ellen’s case is an exception, for she and T. j . are both blondes. Noted for her pink cheeks. GRACE GWVNNE Why don ' t I gro7u? Grace Is a small busy person of the Com- mercial Course who hails from up West. If it weren ' t for this little mite the Sentinel Office would have to close, for without her they would be as helpless as a chicken swim- ming in mid-ocean. RUDOLPH JOHN HAAPINIEMI A good heart is worth gold. “Happy is one of the most loyal, depend- able members of the class. He is present at nearly every athletic event and is an ardent supporter. He is also a star pupil. One look at his report car l is convincing. Happy is going to be a good advertisement for the Class of 1921. Principal pastime is drumming the keys. Noted for his tendency to whisper in Physics.

THERON JASPOR FISH With knowledge stamped upon his br(ni ' . Theron’s last name is O. K. for him. He sure wins the cut glass ice-pick as a Spanish Athlete. He is. however, in every respect, a lady ' s man. and makes the rest of the fellows in the class take back seats when it comes to amusing the ladies. He was given the leading part in the Class Play and did remarkably well, taking the part of hero to perfection. His report card, likewise, makes him famous. THOMAS JAMES FITZGERALD Listen my people and yoit shall hear, The wonderful cornet player we have here. Tommie certainly does love to play jazz on his cornet. But that isn ' t all he loves; ask M. S. she ' ll tell you all about him. Tom has a hard time tr ’ing to dope out how he got so many .A’s??? Cheer up, Tom, the world wasn ' t made in a day: neither were marks or Noted for that everlasting smile and his ability in helping the orchestra along. LEO BERNARD FLANAG.AN One may smile and smile, and yet be a villinn. Explanation is demanded as to why It is that every Sunday evening Leo is seen stroll- ing along the boulevards of West Fitchburg. But you have to give the boy credit, for one who never studies, he gets away with it re- markably well. Observation has led us to believe that English is his favorite subject, as he pays more attention and makes less noise in the sixth hour than in any other??? 22 MILDRED F. FRAZER Silence reigns supreme. Mildred is a part-time pupil and alternates with Ruth in the Continuation School oflice. You can always find her with Ruth. She also comes from W. F. ELIZABETH MAE GARBER Silence reigns supreme Elizabeth believes in this quotation except when it comes to reading shorthand notes in Room 33. We wonder how she does it. It must be the result of A. S. O. ' s second year training?? Also she tries to convince us that she is learned by wearing those goggles. Chief occupation — promenading alone. DOROTHY GAVITTE That cordial, unaffected, most amiable presence Dorothy is a lover of music and is always ready to inform you in anything along that line. She is more talented than most of us realize. She is taking vocal lessons and may some day have world wide fame. Who knows? 1

ELIZABETH HALL Frame your mind to mirth and merriment. Betty is one of the happiest girls in the class. She attends most of tlie dances and is tlierefore quite a dancer. She is very clever in the art of passing notes and talking during recitations. She has been known to study, but only on rare occasions. Noted for that wave. WALTER DA ' 1D HANNON Children should be seen, twi heard. Walter seems to abide by the above quota- tion, for little is heard of him, except when he has something to say that is worth while listening to. He is somewhat bashful; and as no fair maiden has yet won his heart, we fear he is doomed for the life of an Old Bach.” He generally has his lessons (except that Solid Geom.) but no human being can digest that. FRANCES MARIE HASSETT Quiet she was, forsoath, not vain. If friends be credit, she has much gam. Although Frances hasn ' t much to say around school that doesn’t mean she is quiet outside. From the things one hears, she is far from it. How about that little blonde fellow from Long Island, Frances? Although most of Frances ' evenings are occupied, she manages to get A ' s and B ' s, Noted for the above quotation. 24 MARY AC.NES HASTIE Come and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe. When jt comes to dancing, May is right there. According to the family records, Mary at the age of five, was known to hop, skip and jump ail over the South Side, so we surmise that dancing comes natural. This does not prevent her from being the favorite in Miss Pepin’s shorthand class?? However, as we understand she has quite a pull there. Mary is one of those lucky ones who grinds a week and then takes a vacation for a week. JAMES HENDERSON . ' I strawberry blonde is he. Jim is a great boy for studying. He man- ages to get A’s and B’s. We have noticed him lately in his knee pants playing the bag- pipes. If lost, he can be located by his miss- ing front tooth. Red” seems very bashful with the girls in school but when he is up in C , Oh, boy! While not in school he is up to Fosdicks giving them a few pointers on steam engines. RUTH MABEL HOOPER A bright, little lass from Shirley. Without Ruth we don ' t see how Hazel could live through the sixth hour English class in Room 25. She surely does take good care of her?? We hear that Marion and she are planning to keep bachelor girls” apart- ments when they get older. But we have our doubts.
