When Betty joined our ranks four years ago, she made many lasting friends because of her sweet disposition and her winning smiles. She is very popular with the opposite sex, but we are sure that there is only one for whom she really cares. We must remember that Betty lives out of town and must come by trolley and this oftentimes necessitates hurryingg however, she is very seldom late fnot more than four or five times a monthj. When any one hears the phrase Now listen, kids, don't be alarmed. It is only Betty trying to put something across. , Betty is not able to keep her feet still when she hears a piano because you know she is a Char1estoner and a fine one at that. No wonder she looks sleepy some mornings. Her main ambition is to be Somebodys' Stenogf' but there is slight hope of being a bookkeeper. Here's wishing her every success. in whatever she undertakes.

Science Club 141, History Club 435, Latin Club 133, Oratorical Contest Q3-41. For he's a jolly good fellowf Who? John Brendle, one of those fel- lows who came to us in his Junior year. We don't know what Johnnie did in the Worcester School, but as an orator he certainly proved to be a worthy asset to our school. At eight forty-live we generally see the well known puddle jumper breaking all records trying to bring Johnnie to classes on time. Johnnie, through his high school career, had no desire to par- ticipate in athletics, but if size has anything to do with it, he surely would have been a great success. As yet he doesn't know what his future work will be, but we are positive that in whatever he undertakes he will excel.
