Priscilla Lothrop What would I do Without good times and books? When are you going to let those locks grow, Sil? Her goal in life is to be Valentino's dancing partner; only she wants to choose her own Valentino. She takes pleasure in wearing em- blems of mysterious friends, and is one of Miss Fuller's model pupils. Noted for her being well read in modern fiction, for being a movie devotee, and a good dancer. Sil had a good time on the Washington trip. Thinks a good deal of a certain under classman. College Course. Dramatic Club. French. Clarence Lull My days pass pleasantly away Why shouldn't they, he's a soda slinger at Brooks' Pharmacy. Lank's not a Pharmer, though, by any means. Some men never will be satisfied. Now he wants a position. It's too bad Beau Brummel died so young, he would have been an understudy worthy of Lanks steel. We don't know how Lank suits the women. (They never tell us.) Noted for his indispensability as a soda dis- penser and his classy ties (red). Technical Course. Mary Lynch Tall and serene. Fine a girl as ever was seen Mary is quite a shark in Civics. We under- stand she loves to play tennis on Wednesday afternoons. Why Wednesday, Mary? She is often seen with Siggie. Her cheerful demeanor acquires her much. Mary, what does ses mean? General Course. Chorus. Susie Mack Happy, am I, from care I am free Why aren't they all contented like me? Susie is as merry and light-hearted as the day is long. She is learning to put kinks in people's hair; and, judging from Ethel's coiffure she is succeeding. Good-natured but no lover of exer- cise— physical torture, as it were. General Course. Paul Magan My ivords are few. My thoughts are many Paul, after striving three years, won a regu- lar end berth on the eleven this year, and dis- tinguished himself especially in the forward receiving department. Paul, although rather quiet, is certainly well liked by the whole class. He is seen with Opi and the rest of the gang, quite often holding down a certain corner on Water Street. At the present time, Paul is a confirmed woman hater, but we have hopes in later years Great friend of Mac's. Noted for his ironic grin. Technical Course. Basket ball 4. Football -1. Baseball 3, 4. Ellen Maki My favorite study is boys Ellen is a good scout. She may always be found at the school dances, but not alone. She has been seen frequently at the Lyric Theatre. Our curiosity is unlimited, Ellen. Noted for her dancing ability and that laugh. Commercial Course. Glee Club.

Eleanore Labarge A foot more light, a step more true Ne'er from the heath-floiver dashed the detu Ele anore is one of those girls that enjoys studying. (?) We hear she is a pretty good Foihes girl. VVe wish you luck, Eleanore. Eleanore thinks she is a hard working girl. She works at Jensen's Bakery Shop every Saturday. Noted for her constancy to Ida. C'oniniercial Course. Catherine Lawrence Who climbed the grammar tree and ktiows Where each noun, verb and participle grows Yes, Cath. knows just about everything in English, even to our cherished grammar. Out- side of school she is our walking encyclopedia. She has very original ideas about anything and everything, together with masterly arguments to back them up. C. took a vigorous part in the Great Chameleon War. Also her discourses on polliwogs, and the drunkards of ancient Rome, are the one pleasure that sufTering Virgil students get from the Aeneid. Famous for her calm and undisturbed sight translations in Virgil. College Course. Red and Gray. Dramatic Club. French Club. Flora Ledoux A very bashful maiden, I Flora is so modest, she is often taken for a Sophomore! She finds it much easier to talk in French and holds many lengthy confabs with Miss Fuller in that language. Life evidently does not cause Flora many worries for she is seldom serious looking. Famous for the brilliant black eyes. - Commercial Course. Dramatic Club. French Club. Ero Leppanen Appearances are often deceitful So it is with Ero, a saint by appearances, but — . Ero can pull good marks when he wants to, but sometimes he doesn't want to. He is one of the star performers of the Monday Physical Training class. He is especially noted for his neat appearance, and he has a great weakness for Jazz-bo ties. Technical Cour.se. French Club. German Club. Grace Lesure A blush is beautiful, but sometimes inconvenient Grace is noted for her frankness, also for her brilliant, premature recitations. Many a har- assed scholar has been dragged from the gulf of ignorance into the light of knowledge by Grace's timely rehearsals of her recitation-to-be. We have waged many wars with Grace on the sub- ject of her rehearsals, with but very poor success thus far. Still we keep on hoping. Seen con- stantly with Helena. College Course. Dramatic Club. Class Play. William Lortie It's a great plague to be handsome Despite his looks we expect great things from him. We shouldn't be a bit surprised to hear he was going into the movies to show how the sheik part should be played. He is in his glory when giving advice. Noted for his curly (?) hair. Commercial Course. 30

Rena Mann lunv three (inihilioiis: sludy, s iiily, sliidy Rena hulievcs one should he seen and not heard. Sad as the case is, Rena has never had I he lionor of serving time in Miss Haskins's after- noon class. (Jiiite a record. Her denuireness is her outstanding characteristic. She breaks the monotony of her studies by sawing the 'iolin. Thought versus harmony. ( oniniercial Course Grazilla Manseau Who wept with delight if you gave her a smile Grazilla is one of those girls whom we imagine lived long before our time; shy, modest, but with a wealth of sunshine tucked in the corners of her eyes, and between her lips. Grazilla is a fine typist. No one has been able to describe a P. M. to her, it's too bad because she has missed so much. And the best yet, she has a genuine blush. General Course. Alfred Mattel He is the freeman Whom the truth makes free Alfred has been our hardest problem to tackle. We have tried for four years to convince him that there are better things to do in school than to study, but we haven't succeeded. Being of a serious turn of mind his smiles are rather rare, but then so are Bus Keaton's. However, Alfred does his lessons faithfully and is one of our mem- bers who a ccomplishes a lot. Noted for the indispensable school bag. Commercial Course. Eva Matson I'M'r loyal, ever true To the task she has to do I va is one of those girls who believes in a good time but she also Ijelieves in doing hei- lessons. She is quite a Civics student in the sixth hoin' class we understand. We have heard that Kva has been giving solos in the Girls' (jlee Club (|uite frequently. Winner of Third Prize in Music Essay. Noted for her constancy to Ino. Commercial Course. Glee Club. Martha McCaw Gentle and small, But well beloved by all One of Martha's charms is her demureness and her shyness assumes the guise of courtesy. A pleasing manner carries a person far in business and we look forward to a successful business career for Martha. Commercial Course. Daniel McDermott Yea, verily lads, 'tivas a elose shave Danny is well known to our class for one reason, at least, because as one of the city's leading tonsorial artists he has wielded the comb and scissors through and over the matted locks of numerous sons (also daughters?) of the class of '24. Danny's other trades are pole vaulting, running around the track at Crocker Field and trying to convince Mr. Dooling that he knows Trig. He often converses with the fair sex. Noted for his chest and ambition to beat Hobbs' record with the pole. Don't forget the Essex, Technical Course. Track 4. 32
