THE EXPONENT 19 KENNETH MERTON CLARK “Man’s best possession is a sympathetic wife.” Kenneth is a true example of a serious, dignified senior,—never throws chalk in class; never causes a rumpus in the cafeteria; and never wastes a lot of time talking nonsense. (???) As a printer Kenneth has dis¬ tinguished himself as a proof-reader, and can always find mistakes in your work, even though you know you’re good. We don’t believe in running free ads. but Kenneth is also a sideline salesman of Christmas Cards. RUTH ELIZABETH CUMMINGS “Happy am I; from care I’m free! Why aren’t they all contented like me?” As far as we know Ruth is care free, although we sometimes see her going to “lab” looking so terribly solemn and serious for a child of her age! Ruth is rather quiet op first acquaintance, but wait till you know her! We’ve heard rumors, no kidding! about Ruth and a certain young Romeo up Nash’s Mills way. Tut! tut! Ruthie, let us hear no more of this. Ruth plans to stay home next year and later she may enter the teaching profession. WILLIAM JOSEPH CORSIGLIA “Let thy words be few.” Bill’s avocation seems to be roaming the forests in search of furry denizens. We have never heard much from “Bill” though by glancing at some of his marks we find that he has made a hit with the teachers, (said with due respect.) He claims that since early childhood no girl has ever bothered him. William expects to boom the plumbing business next year. FRANCIS GARDNER DAVIS “Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil, Or books consum’d the midnight oil?” Football Manager (4), President S. A. S. and Student Council (4). Talkative Gardner! Always ready to talk on any subject, any time, anywhere, to anybody. All you have to do is listen. Up till lately, his subject matter suggested radio, but a new and much more interesting hob¬ by has superceded his static wanderings. As for algebra, Gardner enjoys sitting down and working out problems all by himself before school early in the morning. Nevertheless he gets good marks for his hard labors. SYBIL GRANT DAVIS “If music be the food of love, play on.” If Sybil cannot be found in a class room, she will always be found in the corridor deeply interested in a certain member of the Senior Class. She has taken part in the band, orchestra, and Glee Club. She expects to continue her studies at Framingham Normal. Here’s wishing you the best of success.

18 THE EXPONENT HELEN JOSEPHINE CORNILOVICH “She is a quick and energetic young lady.” Slow and easy? No! That’s not Helen. She is one of those quick and active young ladies. She can make the time fly outside of school as well as in. She captured a prize for artistic typing as well as several certificates. Helen has accepted a position at the Greenfield Tap and Die Corporation. We are sure she will make good. DOROTHY ALICE CLOUGH “A merry heart that laughs at care.” “Dot” is a prominent player of the Girls’ Basket Ball team, and she is almost always seen at all the High School games. Dot intends to go in training, as a nurse, in the Springfield Hospital, next fall. We hope she does not mix the medicines, so that some poor patient will have to pay. Be careful, Dot. ESTHER RANDALL CLAGHORN “I chatter, chatter, as I go.” Esther is rather talkative in typewriting and we hear this is not the only class. If people doubt this statement ask “Roy” for he should know. She has been awarded many prizes for her speedy typing, and was one of the few chosen to go to Chicopee to compete with other expert typists. Esther is a member of the Glee Club and of the Pro Merito Society. DORIS ELSIE CLAPP “Never do to-day what may be put off awhile.” Doris is our brown-eyed Susan. Watch out! She has the most be¬ witching smile. In the last three years Doris has made the keys of the typewriter fly. She has received certificates on the Royal, Remington and L. C. Smith, besides capturing a medal on the Undei ' wood. Doris will continue working at the Bicknell, Thomas Co. where she has held a posi¬ tion during her High School career. LUCY BEATRIC’E £HEVALIER “Little, but Oh My.” Lucy is a petite brunette who seems to fall for the Blarney. She’s very fond of sweets as you may have noticed, in fact, “Jack’s” is her head¬ quarters.

THE EXPONENT 2° EARLENE MILDRED DALRYMPLE “Modesty and dew love the shade.” Earlene came all the way from Vermont to join us in the Freshman class. She is one of the honor pupils. A certain trip to Brattleboro proved that she has a frivolous streak in her character. But she is as steady as clockwork when the occasion requires it. Earlene is planning to enter Berkshire Commercial College next fall. JOSEPH CHARLES DUDLEY “His enemies shall lick the dust.” Football (3) (4); Basketball (3) (4); Football Dance Committee (3). “Joe” came to us from Pittsfield, at the beginning of his Junior year. Greenfield High is indebted to Pittsfield for one of her best football stars of the past two years. “Joe” was the first fellow from Greenfield to be picked for the All Valley team. “Joe” tells us that he will spend a year at New York University and from there go to Tufts. FRANCIS ALOYSIUS DUNNIGAN “Write me as one who loves his fellow women.” Frannie decided he liked the class of ’25 so he joined it. He can us¬ ually be seen waiting very patiently in front of Jack’s until it is long past time for little boys to be in bed. In the near future he plans to be the president of the Ginter Company. RALPH EVERETT DURKEE “Not by years, but by disposition is wisdom acquired.” Baseball (1) (2) (3); Football (4); Pro Merito; Valedictory. “Ev” didn’t arrive here until his Sophomore year, but he “sure has shown his stuff.” Besides being the valedictorian of the class “Ev” has played baseball three years. And he even found time to follow the pig¬ skin this year. “Ev” has always been wily of the women, but we have just heard on good authority that he has the key to Poet’s Seat, and is really going to step out th is summer. “Ev” goes to Harvard next fall. Be sure and keep your marks up, “Ev”. EARLE EVERETT EMERSON “For I am the god of music.” Basketball (4). “Duke” is the fellow who has a case of musical (?) saxaphobia. We hope this not an incurable disease, but then we know that “Duke” is the coming Paul Whiteman. His future is undecided.
