We do not see half enough of Ada for she is compelled to leave us immediately after school to return to Shirley. Ada is noted for her soft brown eyes which she uses effectively. When she smiles, she looks so sad and sweet that she makes a perfect picture of inno- cence. Helen Evelyn Chainey Let lessons slide by, what care I? Helen believes in exercise, but only when other people are doing it. Therefore Miss Collins and Helen do not ha 'e much in common. But if one must exercise, she believes that dancing is the only exercise worth while. We are sure of one thing in Helen's future — she will certainly never be arrested for hurrying. Helen spends her spare time drawing in patrons for the Five and Ten. She has a very long walk home from school, but she states that she does not mind the distance. The reason? She has an escort. As for lessons — well. Helen does try hard, but — . Glee Club (1-2), Dramatic Club (2-3-4), Freshman Play. Mary Margaret Chisholm Ahuays light-hearted and content.

class '29 book John Lawrence Buono It may be so, but I don't know, It sounds so queer to me. Dry humor to the Nth degree, multiplied by good na- ture, add a little work and a little play; then on the other side of the equation we have the youth pictured here. Besides being poetically inclined, Joe is also master of the harmonica. He is an accepted tonic for gloom and so considered indispensable by his associates. Assistant Manager of Football (3), Glee Club (3). Eva Marguerite Bussiere She is a phantom of delight. Eva is a tiny girl with dark brown hair antl big brown eyes.

Catherine plans in the future to benefit mankind by joining the teaching pro- fession. Dramatic Club (4). Leo Caplan Gee! but I'm a busy man.

We under- stand that he is in the habit of week-ending in Providence. He is noted for his neat appearance and snappy neckties. A surgeon's life seems to be Cap's ambition, and he ex- pects to start on his road to fame with four years at Brown University.

Doris is an industrious student who makes good use of her shorthand and typewriting by working at the Normal School every other week.

Among Rettie's assets are her lovely natural curly hair and a precious dimple in her chin. How the girls envy it. Rettie works hard to get her name on the honor list, which she does quite fre- quently. Dancing she likes fairly well and she goes to most high school dances. Marshal, Flag Committee.

When Mary is not working on her studies, she turns her attention to sports. She delights in horse-back riding and can often be seen, on fine autumnal days, riding through the picturesque parts of Westminster. John Hubert Currier A good reputation is a great charge. Nothing, not even his lessons, worries John. Perhaps this is because he is such a cle 'er inventor of excuses. Johnny enjoys the study of Civics so well that he never interrupts another student who is reciting. He believes in giving them all a square deal. Johnny is seen smiling all the day. Everything he does seems to be a pleasure to him. We wish we could all be like him in this respect. Band (2«-3-4), Orchestra (2-3-4), School Council. Ruth Olive Cyr Style is the dress of thoughts.
