Jk CLASS '26 BOOK Percy Stuart Ferguson A man without a tear Percy has recently become a member of the thundering herd from the South Side. His chief vocation is slashing type at the Sentinel Office, and we may all duly thank him for helping to give us something to read besides Vergil's and Shakespeare's thrillers. Percy's theory of study can well be expressed by the following: Two books at home are worth one in a locker. Anna Elsie Ferrazza Beauty and youth and sprightly hope Anna's velvety brown eyes are one of her numerous assets. She is Mr. Butler's capable assistant although she once took fifteen sheets of paper to get a perfect copy. Someone calls her Mary Sunshine which seems to fit her perfectly. Anna has what is commonly called It. Dramatic Club. Myrtle Filansky She is a winsome wee thing Myrtle adds another to the long 1928 honor roll. Last year she amused us with t wo humorous essays in the Red and Gray ; then to end the year right, she won the Hart- well Elementary Biology Prize. Some of her teachers think Myrtle very demure, but others know better for she belongs to the famous giggling team of Crowell and Filansky. She is one of the most cheerful little misses in the school. Ethel Sarkin, Gert Salny, and Pearl Shuman are considered her most intimate friends. Dramatic Club (3-4), French Club (4). Irene Anna Fisk Irene is one of the best athletes of our class. Last year she captained our basket-ball team, and this year played on the hockey and basket-ball teams. She also is a good tennis player, and has spent many happy times at Crocker Field. Her name appears on the High Honor Roll which shows she is a good student. She did a fine job directing traffic outside of Room 6. As President of the Girls' Debating Club, she was very successful. Irene was great at getting up bus loads for the out-of-town games, and we all appreciated them. Myrt is her companion. Basket-ball (1-2-3), Track(l-2-3-4), Debating Club (2-3-4), Hockey (2-4), Marshal (3-4), Council, Dramatic Club, Thanksgiving Dance (4). AgnCvS Beverly Fitzgerald am loath to study Books, schools, teachers — whoever invented them any- way? Not that Aggie is sick of living — oh, no! Aggie always chooses a dramatic moment to enter a class, coming in with a smile just as her name is being marked down as absent. The instructor's eyes often stray and sometimes linger in her direction, for sad to relate, Aggie docs not believe that whispering is a sin. In spite of all this, Aggie is a very capable girl. Basket-ball. 23 AVCAV XXVIII

A CAV XXVIII CLASS '26 BOOK Helen Esielionis We meet thee like a pleasant thought Helen is a very merry-, pleasing, entertaining lass. She is one of our famous Shirleyites and can drive a car with- out knocking down lamp posts or human beings. To hear Helen read and translate French one would suppose that she was a full-blooded Frenchman. She certainly has caught the knack of it. Helen once played Cinderella in a French play and was confronted with a confusing difficulty. The slipper wouldn't fit! She was fortunate enough to be able to take the Washington trip during her Junior year. Senior Class Play, French Club, Glee Club. Francis Joseph Espie All things come to him who will hut wait Frank certainly believes in this quotation. We have nev'er happened to see so unusual a sight as Frank hurrying. He even carries that insouciant air with him into Mr. Hubbard's fourth year Latin class. He's always full of fun, ready to hear a joke and to flash a smile to any of the members of the weaker sex. One of his favorite sports is loitering in the corridors with Foster Arnold. Walter Francis Fairbanks Secrecy has 7nany advantages Francis, a very prominent Paleface, has taken a definite stand, and decided that the fountain outside 26 is the proper place for it. Though this pillar of democracy is a quiet lad and has not focussed his attention on anything in particular, he is a steady worker, and never seems to lack friends. Perhaps he is of that ilk which prefers to hide its light under a bushel, thus preserving it for future generations. Mary Josephine Farrar And good luck go with thee Josephine made only a brief visit to our class. At the beginning'of the Senior year, she came to us from Lunen- burg High, but before we had hardly time to get acquainted with her, she left for Washington, D. C. Although small of size, she could wear as long earrings as our most statuesque beauties. Lovell Hermon Farwell An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow Lovell comes to school because he thinks the school can't get along without him. He takes the General Course. Lo ell is quite widely known because of his beautiful, high sounding name. His smile is very charming. He and Paul Crosby are always together or, as Goldsmith would say: They are never asunder. 22

Bud is an extremely good cook, a talent of which he is very proud. He has a very noticeable sense of humor. He is fond of athletics, but not rowing. For an explana- tion of that ask him about the time the crowd skipped him with the boat at camp last summer. Alice Agnes Forss How sweetly sounds the voice of a good woman Alice is another of our shy, demure, and retiring misses. The alluring charm of her dark eyes has caused many a would-be brunette to glance enviously at her. Elsie and Alice can be seen trotting to school together ever ' morn- ing. Every other week she deals out lunch tickets with a skilful hand. Helen Vera Freedson Her quiet and unassuming manner Brings forth her pleasant ways Frank, sincere, sweet, and attractive is this maiden of distinctly individual personality.

Irene Claire Fregeau When she had passed, it seemed like tlie ceasing of exquisite music If a heroine should step from a story book of long ago, she could not rival Irene in charm of personality.
