Karl Francis Cahalan Shorty The best of goods come in small packages Although Shorty has been with us for only two years, he has proved to us his ability, both in running and trans- tating Virgil (?). Shorty hails from Somerville and his favorite past-time is spinning yarns about that Mecca (to him) of New England. Earl has a pleasing way which wins him many friends. James Wesley Caldwell ' ' With dreamful eyes My spirit lies Where summer sings and never dies James is one of our number who refused to finish in the ruck and just nosed under the wire. As a member of the Industrial Course he helps keep the wheels of business turning by repairing steam engines for the Fitchburg Steam Engine Company. Frances Patricia Carney Pat 0! blesse'd with temper whose unclouded ray, Can make to-morrow cheerful as to-day! We've never seen Frances angry in all the years we've known her. Cheerful and light-hearted is she, and you can always depend upon her to laugh at your jokes, even if they are old. Her sparkling brown eyes have spelled destruction for many a poor boy. Although she came to us only at the beginning of Junior year, she has won a firm place in our affections. Marion Claire Carson Manny Great oaks from little acorns grow Marion is one of the quiet, studious members of our class, but we doubt if she is as quiet outside of school. Marion is very fond of playing jokes on her friends, and is quite famous for her witty sayings. She expects to go to Normal School next year. Our best wishes go with her. Raymond Leo Cashman Baby Ray Thou bring' st courtesy too, and wit Two things that never fail to hit Friend Raymond is certainly of that part of the class, ranked as bright and intelligent. He has a wistful, inno- cent look which deceives a teacher's sharp eyes and makes her think him a model boy. However, he has many a time lightened a dull class with the aid of Eddie in ways unknown to teachers. Despite his tender years, our Class Book Editor frankly admits that E. W. has a mort- gage upon his affections. Best wishes to Holy Cross when it gains such a marve! as Ray. 12

Irene Agnes Bourgeois I know it is a sin, For me to sit and grin Irene is sometimes quiet. Although her time is spent on more worldly things than study, she is a very good student and insists upon helping the less fortunate ones. Irene believes in dancing the blues away and no doubt she will some day become a professional. Isabelle Lucille Bouvier A little bud of loveliness, That never should grow older Isabelle is one of our dancing-eyed brunettes, has many friends and admirers. Incidentally, she prefers dancing to studying. Isabelle re think Inza Viola Brown Let joy be unconfined Quick of gesture, light of step, carefree of nature, and merry in mood — that's our Inza. If you wish to meet Inza, just go to a dance. Whether it be a barn dance or a school dance, it makes no difference. We assume that it's because Inza is so short that a tall gallant knight has sought to be her escort. Russell Arthur Buck A man of life upright, Whose guiltless heart is free From all dishonest deeds, Or thoughts of vanity Russell is one of our quiet students and helps Miss Mclntyre issue victuals at the lunch counter. He is of a studious nature and gets good marks now and then. Although he doesn't go in much for athletics, we think he could stand the gaff if he wanted to. Edna Marion Buxton Gay as a lark is she Edna is one oi (hose persons who always have a smile lor all the world. This is all the more remark-able when you consider she lives in Shirley and how early she has to g el up. By her quiel devotion to study, she ha won a place on the honor list. 11

Rufus Fisk Crosby Words pay no debts Ruins is another one we never hear much from. As he never commits himself, we wonder what his interests are. We don't believe he cares for girls a great deal. He does his lessons and has always been a good friend to his class. Margaret Isham Cross hove, sweetness, goodness in her person shined Margaret's eyes have a wicked twinkle which she thinks makes her appear quite shy. Margaret is a splen- did student and has spent much of her time for the bene- fit of the class. She is popular with all members of the class and hasn't changed one bit even after six months in Europe. Rosamond Cross And still they gazed and still their wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew' Rosamond has been with us only a year, but she has given us a strong impression of a bright student and an excellent debater. Although a dweller on the heights of Olympus, yet she mingles on friendly terms with all her schoolmates. Can we ever forget her smiling radiant face or her golden halo of curly hair? Wallace Sargent Crovvell Sarge Always merry and bright Twenty-five has all shapes and sizes, long and thin; short and wide. When we add a Fat Man's Club to our organizations, Wallace no doubt would rival Collins for its president. In school he is generally seen running from Miss G., or talking to Messrs. Ellsworth and Dooling. Dana Buckley Gushing Nothing is worth doing that is not worth doing well Dana is a serious lad both in school and out. Me is very much interested in dramatics, and heads our dra- matic club. He likes nothing better than to engineer .1 play or take pari in one. With Marry l-auder he sings: I love to be a sailor, and so he looks forward to Annapolis after I Ugh School. 15
