Hazel Evelyn Corkum True friendship dominated her every action Hazel appears to be a rather quiet member of our class, but of course, we can't always judge by appearance. When one really does become intimate v ith her, one could not find a better friend. In her studies she is good, and her name is usually on the honor roll.

Studies are not exactly to his taste, but he always makes the grade. Relay Team (3). Paul Edward Crosby Men may come, men may go. but I go on forever Paul, a happy-go-lucky fellow, is always in good humor, 'ou would think to see him that he is rather bashful and no ladies' man, but is he really?

AVCAVXXVin JSv CLASS '26 BOOK 3. Mary Alice Clifford So that my life be brave, what though not long? Mary is a girl who is willing to make a bet any time pro- vided she is sure of winning. She became one dollar richer at the time of a well-known ringside affair. Don't ever ask her to pronounce chrysanthemums for she will be sure to stumble over it. Her lack of understanding the question at hand is often the cause of a period long discussion, which event is cordially greeted by the rest of her class- mates. Ellyn Josephine Coates Her voice was honeysuckle sweet It seems hardly credible that a red-haired damsel should combine a demure pensive mien with flaming locks, but this bright light of our class has achieved it. Ellyn is an original spirit in more than the mere spelling of her name and has, indeed, almost a dual personality: for despite her nun-like appearance, she cherishes a fondness for the bright lights of Acadia and the Rainbow Club, and though she is among the C's she occupies a back seat in Room 22, fourth period. Probably in the future Ellyn will appear at the Lyric during her tours of the country, for she has often delighted us with her clever impersonations. Glee Club, Senior Class Ring Committee, Senior Class Play. Simone Gertrude Collette Her worth is very dear in our regard We do not see much of Simone, for one week she is with us and the other she works at the Normal School. Simone is an excellent French student and won the second prize in French her Sophomore and her junior year. Simone is a very quiet girl and seldom speaks, but she always has a ready answer when called upon. Marshal (4). Herbert Leo Connors We shall never see his like again Rangy was a valuable man at end on the football team. He was often used to kick-off, even though he did kick with his left foot. Herb is quiet at school, but we believe he finds time now and then to enjoy himself when he can get away from his books. He is an interesting and un- tiring talker and has amused us at football assemblies with his readv good humor. Football (.V4), Glee Club, Debating Club (4). Arne William Cooke Marks may rise and marks may fall. But mine are high forever Arne is just one of the class who studies, works, and has a good time, too. He studies at H. S., works at Cowdrey's, and plays everywhere. He has always maintained a high standing in his studies. His wide-spaced grin gets him into all kinds of difficulties. He is a marked man on the street because of his height and his Boston bag. 16

CLASS '25 BOOK 3 Margaret Wilson Cunnirjgham Slie is a bonnie wee thing Greta is a typical Scotch lassie born where the bagpipes skirl. She seems to be very demure, but those twinkling eyes contain myriads of sparkling humor. She is an ex- cellent dancer, and it is rumored that she frequently in- dulges in the Highland Fling. School work is Greta's forte. If it were not for her Scotch characteristics, we would be influenced to believe her a French girl on account of her modish attire and ability to parlez-vous. Alfred James Dailey All things come to him who stands and waits Alfred is so unobtrusive that he walks on his tiptoes for fear of making a noise. He lives just on the other side of Moran Square. Even so, he does not get much practice for track because he starts for school too early. Glee Club, Band, Baseball, Track. Stanley Earl Dalbeck Keep her for she is thy life It seems that Dolly's favorite pastime is hanging around the second floor at recess time. It's funny how he always picks on the short and cute ones. A good sport, he has taken part in football and basket-ball. He believes also in doing some of his lessons which is unusual for a young man in his position. Baseball (3-4), Football (4). Mary Leah Daley Jest so that it may not become earnest When Irish eyes are smiling and a hearty spasm of laughter shakes the air, know ye without further introduc- tion that the lady is Mary. Her motto is Omnibus at 7.15 A.M. and 2 P. M., always excepting chance social en- gagements in 26. Mary is rather a remarkable gymnast, and her lively and graceful antics on the floor of the As- sembly Hall, have often aroused snappy comment from Miss Collins. Her real specialty, however, is the Swanee River clog, at which she is adept. It is our heartfelt wish that Mary's future path in life may include no prone-falls or even deep-knee bends. Paul Richard DeBarge Perseverence keeps honor bright Paul is considered one of the popular boys of the class, especially by the fairer sex. Perhaps his snappy appear- ance plus his rosy blush, contribute largely to his success. Elizabeth, his Ford, accompanies him to school every day. Hunting is Paul's favorite amusement and not infrequently does he bring home the bacon. Paul is employed every second week, but he certainly makes up for lost time the next. 18
