Ruth Chiate As happy as the day is long Ruth is one that can always be depended upon, and her big, dark eyes fairly snap with enthusiasm. We hear rumors that Ruth aspires to be a singer. That or a school- ma'am, which will it be, Ruth? She has never said much about her boy friends, but we don't see why there might not be some. Dorothy Evelyn Clark Better late than never. But, better, never late Sparky is one of the live wires of our class. She always keeps her numerous friends entertained with her wit which never runs dry. Her favorite sports are swimming and skating. She finds time apart from the study of books to devote to a study of the opposite sex. Grace Phyllis Cominelli We don't have to know Grace very long, before we dis- cover that her hobby is Chemistry. Grace talks about her Chemistry teacher and the subject morning, noon, and night. She walks with a peculiar swaying gait. Grace can also debate, only she keeps her ability hidden. Grace is planning to be a school-ma'am. Always happy and C( rdial. Glee Club, Pirate's Daughter, Debating Club. Charles Edward Connors Charlie made a hit with the girls in The Pirate's Daughter, and since then they have showed their affec- tion for him by calling him Percy. He is a good boy and applies himself to his work, especially to his favorite sub- ject, Riology. It is yet to be decided whether or not he believes in Evolution. We expect to see Charlie a great scientist in later life. Glee Club, Pinafore, Pirate's Daughter, Junior- Senior Reception Play. Charles David Cox J union year brought us Dave, he of the sunny locks and smiling urbanity, to settle down and imbibe the required amount of Wentworth and Smith, West, etc. To see Dave plodding his weary way daily from the morasses of Lunen- burg is to appreciate his endeavors. Chemistry claims a great deal of his attention, and the result is indeed grati- fying. A faithful and efficient worker, and a fine fellow withal. 14

Albert Everett Cairns Look, he is winding up the watch of his wit, By and by it will strike one Albert made his fame by acting on our Assembly Hall stage. We'll always remember him as Mr. Moon. He was one of the worthy corps who dealt sandwiches right and left at recess. Albert's one great hobby was to cut up frogs in Miss Merriam's room. We won't soon forget Albert's good-natured smiling face. Boys' Glee Club, Dramatic Club, French Club, Class Plav. Gertrude Alguire Carpenter A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance This is Cert. She trips about in all her blond glory searching for more worlds to conquer. She has a mis- chievous twinkle in her blue eyes and an ever-ready smile. Good-hearted, generous, and frank, she is admired by everybody. As to her future occupation, we feel sure Gert won't be a Carpenter for long. Orchestra, Basket-ball. Adele Eleanor Catalini As wise as they come Adele is one of our bright part-time students and assists Miss Sherwin. When a Freshman, she won the French prize. Adele is shy at first, but when known is a good sport. She is real womanly now with her hair done up in a most becoming manner. Noted for her fine marks. Grace Charles Good nature and good sense must ever join Grace takes life a bit more seriously than most of us. You never see her dashing madly about the corridors, but rather she moves in complete self-posesssion. She type- wrote with care the perplexing copy handed her by the Class Book editors. Despite her tender years and lack of stature, she is one of the scholastic beacon lights of the class. French Club, Hockey Team, Basket-ball. Esther Wood Chasteney Esther is a quiet, unobtrusive maid, who gains faithful friends as she goes. During our Senior year, we didn't see Esther very much because she was quite ill. Esther has a quiet sense of humor, but which is keen, nevertheless. For example, ask her about that slow waltz with Buzz Cross at the Rollstone Chapel one evening. She has a talent for drawing. (.lee Club, Dramatic Club, French Club. 13

Gilbert Weissbach Cox Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you Gil is one of our shorties who seems to manage to make things hum. Always ready to do his share. Some day Gilbert will be a great orator, for he likes to talk. Janet Douglas Cringan Oh! that frown! Whenever anything happens which is not exactly to Janet's liking, out comes that million dollar frown. But generally Janet's presence in a group means the dismissal of care and the entrance of clever wit and hearty laughter, for she is admittedly the smiling advance agent of good humor and gaiety. Her hearty laugh, which has so often echoed through classroom and corridor alike, is absolutely guaranteed to chase away the blues. Elizabeth Murdock Cross Buzz's great talent lies in writing essays and stories, but, alas, she also uses this gift to write notes to some lucky gentlemen. She is one of our leading French stu- dents due to her good fortune in having spent six months in France. We all like Flizabeth and expect great things from her in the literary field. Buzz would accomplish wonders if she applied herself — but Oh, my deah she just can't. Dramatic Club, Glee Club, PVench Club (Vice-Presi- dent), Music Essay (Second prize, '26), (First prize, '27), Senior Class Party Committee. Dorothy Mae Crocker For a light heart lives long Dot is one of the Opposite Twins. She is fond of good times and the dances at dishing seem to have an attraction. Dot formerly hailed from Leominster and it is rumored she still has a case there. Now, Dot, what kind of case? Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Junior Dance. Kathleen Louise Crowley A good heart is worth gold Kathleen is one of our quieter classmates — sweet, seri- ous, and sincere. She is very fond of dogs, and we can imagine she has her hands full with those lively little puppies she has. As to the opposite sex, we haven't heard any rumors as yet. Seriously, though, Kathleen is a mighty good friend to have. Dramatic Club. 15
