FAV VIOLET METCALF 0»e of our nohlesf, our 7nosl valorous. Honest and most obedient. Fay is one of our fellow students who knows ho w to pull those much desired A’s. She is quiet and unassuming, but well liked by all who know her. Noted for her excellent scholarship. MILDRED MEYER Men may come and men may go, But I talk on forever. When Mildred is near, we are always well aware of the fact, but it’s a good idea to have a ready How of conversjition, isn ' t it? iil- dred surely does love to interrupt a certain class, sixth hour, though. Chief occupation — talking. BEATRICE MIRIAM MICHELMAN The sun shines East The sun shines MVi7, But in that shoe store. My loi ' e shines best. How about this Trix, is it not true? We all wonder why it is she buys her shoes down near the Majestic, now we know. Every Wednesday you can see her promanading the Summer Street boulevard with L. 31 GERTRUDE EDNA MIKKOLA Her voice was soft and sweet. We don’t see much of Gertrude for she is another part-time student but from what we he y she is a good girl. She has a sweet little voice and likes to sing. We hope to hear her as a famous singer some time in the near future. WILLIAM C.ARETH MILLER Time, let not advatUage slip. Bill is one of our quiet ones. He believes in speaking only when spoken to. He is a nice boy and never tricks the teachers. He occupies a seat in “Popper” Howe ' s con- densed fifth hour math, class. Nevertheless, he usually takes hojne a good report card. Noted for his noise????? K.VmLEEN HILDRETH MINER ' Tis the mitid that makes the body rich. When it comes to raising the “(.)ld Harry” Kathleen is right there, so they tell us down in Shirley. Kathleen likes to attend the dances in Ayer. We wonder why this is? During her leisure hours she runs the tele- phone office down in Shirley and we hear that only Ayer gets good service. Is this true, Kathleen?

KATHRYN AGNES McCAULIFF What was I pul into the world for, If it were nol to talk. If you are ever in need of information, go to Kathryn, for she is some talker and likes to use her tongue almost better than anything else, except playing tennis and judging from the way she plays we guess she can do it. She acts as Mr. Woodbury’s private secretary every other week. Noted for her pretty (?) hairdress and smiles. GERTRUDE LORETTA McCORMICK He floats upon the river of her thoughts. When it comes to making up excuses for being late, Gert is there, so C. T. would say. We have nothing against her for that, es- pecially since she is but one of many such from W. F. She has not been over anxious with studying, but of course, the Lyric holds part of lier attention. Noted for her blush and — and — cr — ah — acquaintance with — er — him. JULIA FRANCES McDONOUGH She is small, but oh, my? Julie” or Sunshine” as she is generally called is certainly a busy person. Besides being an efficient stenographer, she spends a great deal of her time with L. R. Is it the cars (in the garage) or is it his ways, Julie? Noted for that expression, “Who told you?” 30 JOHN LEO McMANUS The belter part of valor is distinction. Johnny” is one of our little fellers.” He believes in quality rather than quantity. He is quite a poet, but he can ' t help it. We are afraid he is going to be a politician for he has had spirited debates with Hudson on party questions. He is said to be Longfellow’s only rival, so there is some hope for him. LEO FRANCIS McMANUS One of the red lights, yon know. Yes, in regard to girls. He is always seen. But! when friend Leo entered our renowned class as a freshman, we thought the strain of studying and coming the long distance from W. F. would be too much for him. How- ever, the crowded condition of the 7.45 F. L. car has hardened him. We are surprised that he has taken such an interest in girls. Taking the Commercial Course as he does, Madeline and others attract him. And they are Juniors! He ran the athletic department of the Red and Gray” to perfection, and also pulled good marks. Noted for his boisterous laughing at recess. But that haircomb, Oh! OSCAR FREDERICK MERCIER Mercier is one of those people who believe in being seen and not heard. We fear he is developing into a math, shark. At any rate he is a member of Popper Howe’s fifth hour math, class. He also loves (?) the ladies. Noted fur his silence and good will to all.

GERTRUDE EMMA MINNICH Happy am 1, from care I ' m free. Why aren ' t they all contented like mel (iert lias made herself conspicuous as class stenograplier. She is very popular every- where she goes, but mostly with J. D., and has a pleasant smile. We wonder what the class would do without her? Noted for her constancy to Jack. JOHN ARTHUR MOILANEN A warrior brave with curly hair. Johnie sure is a bear with the ladies and oh, Ijoy! that wavy hair. Out riding in Frank’s car he sure does get the feminine waves, yet he couldn’t agree with C. T. on the way to lead cheers. As assistant business manager of the Class Book he was right there with the goods. Noted for his liking for Juniors as well as for his gold teeth and wav ’ hair. ELIZABETH HELEN MORAN I live for self and self only. Elizabeth is one of the trio. Wherever you see her, you’ll see Bee and Helen. She cer- tainly makes things lively in 24 the fifth period. Elizabeth always has her own point of view. She certainly would make good as a debater. Noted for her I should worry” e. pression. 32 HELEN ELIZABETH MORAN Some day I ' ll be a stenographer. Helen does try so hard to be good but in that fifth hour shorthand class the tempta- tion is too great. When she and Elizabeth get together — good-bye books. She can also tell you about that trip to Washington this spring. Noted for her constancy to Elizabeth. MARY LUCILLE MORAN Silence in a woman is like speech in a man. Deny it who can. Mary has managed to keep quiet in school but we understand she is capable of raising a rumpus outside when the conditions de- mand it. W’e hear she is fond of music and expect her future will be in this line. ALICE JANE MURPHY A pretty girl, most dear and taking. Now Alice has so many good points that we don’t know where to begin. First of all, she gives life to the class. Her engaging per- sonality has won her many friends. She is also an inseparable pal of M. M. Noted for her stylish clothes.
