Willard Blackwood Music hath charms — hut I'm not musical Of course that does not mean that he has no charms. Every September Will journeys from the wilds of Maine to join our class. Must be some attraction. He is one of Miss Haskins's pets. His favorite pastime is reading the paper. Technical Course. Dorothy Borowsky Where did you get your eyes so blue? Dot is very mild in appearance and her coun- tenance is always wreathed in a smile. We should find it hard to get along without Dot, for her sunny smiles have made her popular. She is very fond of studying and is always seen carrying many books??? Wherever you see Dot you see Rose. Commercial Course Alice Boucher Ic i on park Francais Alice comes from Cleghorn and arrives early enough to look over her books; for, when she is home, study is never thought of. We wonder who the lucky man is now, Alice? Is it still Francis or have you decided to change again? Alice is no great lover of dancing so we wonder where she spends her time. Where you see Alice, you will see Elsie. Commercial Course. Chorus. Leo Bourdeau His limbs are cut in manly mold For hardy sports in contest bold.

Besides this, Ernest is an exjionent of thrift. Where do you find time, Ernest? As far as we know he has no interest in the girls, and is noted for his good behavior. Commercial Course. Bertha Bauman We've eyes not made to flirt loith Bertha would make a good mate on a ship, as she is always on the lookout. It is easily seen, also, that she is not the only one who enjoys these good times. Perhaps it is something lie- sides her eyes that attract. Bertha is an out-of- door girl and enjoys hiking. Commercial Course. Francis Beer you're looking for action, you're loohiiig for Francis The hoy from West Fitchburg who wears the llashy neckties. He is the greatest little rumpus raiser in our midst. Mr. Beer is one of our most talented local alibi artists. Frankie, by a single twist of the wrist, causes the West Fitchburg car to arrive an hour or two later than usual. Of course the F. L. has something to do with these queer phenomena but Mr. Beer seems to be their Jonah. His very presence seems to cause a stalling of traffic. Technical Course. Waldemar I. Bendz Nor time or coin I'll lose or idly spend Bill or Waldie, is the gentleman with the wild wave, and it has been necessary for him to use violent methods to tame said waves in times past. Bill is the Radiotrician of '24. If (jn wish to know about neutrodynes, ask him. lie wished to take singing but Mr. Boson found that it would be necessary to secure a iiiano going several octaves lower.

Carry on, Iva! General Course. Dramatic Club. Girls' Interests.

Herbert Bousquet Oh, what may man within him hide Tho' angel on the outivard side. Biscuit is (]uile a boy, and worked hard to make the footi)ali team this year. He wears some loud socks and he claims that his mother buys them, but we think that he does it because he loves colors. He has been known to make strange sounds in the assembly hall during the singing period. What about that trip to Worcester? He was one of the loyal rooters that went with the team to Brockton. Famous for his gentlemanly demeanor in the theatres. Technical Course. Class Book Committee. Grace Bowes I'll be merry and free I'll be sad for nobody Grace has been with us four years and we have all enjoyed her company. She is quite popular among both girls and boys. She also has quite an attraction for Springfield and Fords. We wonder why? She is seen quite often with Anna and when we see Anna we know Grace is near. She spends her summers at Northfield Seminary and always seems to have a good time. Mt. Hermon also has an attraction for her. General Course. Rose Brack won't play if I can't be teacher Rose is a good sport and always seems to have a good time. It is rumored that Rose has a bad case of boys, but, what's in a rumor? Friends she has many. Rose would make a good cheer leader, for, when she lets out a war whoop, it can be heard all over the building. Noted for a wonderful complexion. Commercial Course. Helena Brockelman I am no orator, as Brutus zvas; I only talk right on. Helena can talk, she has proved that. She can act, we've seen her. Her imitations of an old maid are so realistic that we fear for her. 'l o be a Latin teacher is her aim anfl she is taking notes. Beware, Mr. Hubbard. During her Senior year, Helena went out for hockey, but, sad to relate, she has failed to learn that the object is to hit the ball not to dig holes. Noted for her expressions. College Course. President Dramatic Club. Red and Gray. Class Book Committee. P'rench Club. Louis Brodsky He is a man of silence and of sense Doc was once an industrial but there are all boys in the class; and, well, he changed his course. He has been one of our real fellows during the year. Doc is always making someone laugh. Doc is disgusted — he can't throw his line in law. Too bad! As a student. Doc is a good story teller. He is also a great singer. General Course. Chorus. Vivian Brooks There is no great genius free from some tincture of tnadness Viv spends her leisure hours at Cumings Theatre ushering young men, preferably. She managed the hockey team and designed gradua- tion dresses. That's enough for one Senior who must spend considerable time in conversation? Later, V. is ambitious to drive her Packard. Good luck, Viv! Commercial Course. Dramatic Club. French Club.
