We hear that Marion intends to become a trained nurse. Glee Club f3-4). Florence Yvonne DeLorme A maiden precise and composed. Florence is an unobtrusive miss and very obliging when called upon to do her part in any affair. She attends to her own business and asks nothing from anyone. We all envy her beautiful hair and skin. She is one of our part- time commercial students who take dictation from Miss Goodfellow at the Normal School every other week. Florence should make a good secretary because of her ef- ficiency and her unassuming manner. French Club, Marshal. Arlene Louise Dement My hour at last is come. Arlene is quiet around school.

Rocco Arthur DiLorenzo A little mischief now and then, Is relished by the best of men. Crash! Bang! What's that noise? Don't get excited. It's only Rocco starting in on his drum, which makes him one of the big noises in the school band. He never wor- ries about anything — studies least of all, yet he has got along with very little friction with his teachers, especially Mr. Butler. As a good sport, he is popular with all his classmates. Band (1-2-3-4), Orchestra (1-2-.3-4). [18]

class '29 book Rettie Maude Couch Breezy and jolly is she always. This precise maid is another good student. She also belongs to the part-time course. 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. Marcella Ida Crowson Give thy thoughts no tongue. This is good advice for Ida, because she is very talka- tive as the members of her sewing class will testify. Her favorite expression is, Where's Annie? Annie and Ida may be found almost anytime laughing together. Ida takes her daily e.xercise by running for the car in the morn- ing. Mary Bertha Cummings A tiny, tiny voice have I. Mary's lovely black, curly hair makes her a very at- tractiv e young lady. Like the majority of farmerettes, she is very shy among strangers, but my! you should see her on the bus that takes her to and from Westminster. 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.

Altho he is quiet, he has a personality which appeals to all. He has the reputation of being shy, but we who know him well will realize that this is not so. He is very fond of mechanics. Red cer- tainly is a wonderful dresser, and his snappy attire attracts a great deal of attention. He is a daily passenger on the Shirley Limited, and does his part in helping to keep things merry. Glee Club (4), Dramatic Club (4). Henry Arthur Dunn His life is neither tossed in boisterous seas Of troublous world, nor lost in slothful ease. He is a very modest young man, but nevertheless we have found out that he really is a shark in chemistry. Rumor says there is just one young lady in his life. We wouldn't be astonished at all if he were elected to the Board of Selectmen of Shirley some day. Glee Club (2). Elizabeth Caro Eells A curly head — a happy heart. Elizabeth is one of the happiest and gayest members of our class. Elizabeth would make an ideal toe-dancer if she studied, because of her high arch.

She is also fond of sports, and devotes her spare time to playing basket-ball for the (iirl's Club. Glee Club (1), Orchestra (1-4). [19]
