2 THE ECHO DEDICATION This edition of the Echo is dedicated to the graduating class of 1931. This class, though quite small, has established a good record and a record they can be proud of in later years. It is with the deepest regret that we bid them good-bye. Good luck ! S’eniors. SENIOR STATISTICS J. MALCOLM ANDREW (Mai) Maple Street Hobby — Delivering the news “Better late than never.” Activities: Senior Play; Class President, 1. Mai, you’ll remember, took the part of Bud Flannigan in the Senior Play, and did he bring down the house? He surely did. He has a habit of saying that he is not prepared in History and then answering more questions than anybody else. Some kidder, what ? MARION J. BEHAN (Skinny) Pleasant Street Hobby — Studying “Thoughts are mightier than strength of hand.” Activities : Reporter, 4 ; Pro Merito Pin, 3. If you’ve never heard Marion translate a passage from Latin, you don’t know what you’ve missed. And that isn’t all she can do, either. In most any class, when things are all going wrong, the teacher has only to call on Marion to set them right. Keep it up, Marion, we’re for you. LILLIAN GEORGE (Lefty) Plymouth Street Hobby — Talking about last night “Modesty is a virtue.” Activities: Commercial Club, 4; Basketball Manager, 4; Senior Play. Lillian is one of the three Seniors that believe in long dresses. As Mrs. Carol in the Senior Play Lillian certainly played the part of a very nervous matron who is to entertain the governor. Lillian and Inez are always conversing about the qualities of some member of the male sex. IMOGENE R. GODFREY (Gene) Pleasant S treet Hobby—? “Oh ! I would be wild and free.” Activities: Senior Play. What does Imogene do for a hobby ? Nobody seems to know. Gene is certainly going to miss those interesting recess periods. Harry and Norman are going to miss that bright and shining face of yours. I beg your pardon — you have just used your compact. JOHN R. FEENEY Weston Avenue Hobby — Camels “Reckless youth makes rueful age.” If you believe all the yarns Feeney tells about his nocturnal exploits, you’ll get the idea that he’s one fellow who goes places and does things. Believe it or not, Feeney likes fairy stories — at least, he’s always talking about Red Riding Hood !

THE ECHO 3 BRUCE M. GRINDLE Weymouth Street Hobby — Chewing gum “To see ourselves as others see us.” Activities : Class President, 2 ; Basketball, 4 ; Senior Play ; Reporter, 4. Bruce was the only Senior boy to make the basketball team. Congratulations ! Where does Bruce get all the gum for Senior English periods? Does Bruce like being proposed to? Ask Flossie, she knows. E. EVERETT HAYDEN (Arky) South Franklin Street, Brookville Hobby — Aviation “He could sing like Caruso, both tenor and bass ; he could play on his Spanish guitar.” Activities : Echo, 3, 4 ; Editor-in-chief of Echo, 4 ; Class vice-president, 4 ; Athletic Play, 3 ; Senior Play ; Pro Merito Pin, 3 ; Movie operator, 3, 4 ; Valedictorian. The sage of the Physics class twangs a mean guitar, and have you heard him sing that little song with the long name and the 33 verses ? Remember him in the “swaller-tail coat” in the Senior Play? He is the long distance eating champion of the S. M. L. S. P. Arky, by the way, is short for Archimedes. RITA M. HUTCHINS (Skeeter) Upland Street Hobby — Alumni “Here comes Patricia.” Activities : Senior Play ; Pro Merito Pin 3 ; Echo, 3, 4 ; Secretary, 1 ; Reporter, 4 ; Movie Operator, 4. Rita appeared as an ideal heroine in the Senior Play. We hear that Rita in- tends to take up Home Economics at Amherst next fall. We know that Rita will make the rest of the class sit up and take notice of her in college. She is usually quite quiet, but don’t excite her or she will “ring your dirty neck.” MARIAN D. JERVEY North Franklin Street Hobby — W riting “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Activities : Echo, 4 ; Handicraft Club President, 4. Marian is a quiet, modest little girl whom we all like. Her poetry is good — be sure to read it in this issue. She does good work in the Handicraft Club, too. ANNIE JOHNSTON (Arnie) North Franklin Street Hobby — Athletics “Buxom, blithe, and debonair.” Activities: Basketball 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Echo, 4; Track, 2: Class Secretary, 3. 4 : Association Vice-president, 4. Annie during basketball season was much taken iq) with a Rainlolph youth. We are wondering if it will continue. Never mind, Annie, your typing ami athletics are good, so cheer up. What about the “Funny Pictures” in History class?
