Neil— What’s in a name we wonder—why Here’s a boy whose name is Spry, And here’s one name that hits the tack. For he is Spry—he’s out for track. Gladys— When asked what she wanted to do— When with school she was thru. She said, “I need a vacation: Think I’ll stay near the railroad station.” Genevieve— Genevieve Wood is this brunette’s name. She’s a good hand at the pinochle game, And when she gets her hand from the deck. She blushes and says, “Oh. I’ve the Jack.” Louise— That’s Louise with the good-natured grin. And it’s the Senior class she’s in, If her friends and teachers plague, She gives a sigh and says “You aig!” Wayne— There’s also Wayne, with his saxophone. The “horn of plentyoh, what a tone. Oft-times when orchestra seemed quite dead. He’d vary—and play six measures ahead. Delta— “I’m in a hurry—get out of my way, Wait a minute—what did you say, Was he really?-—M ho was that— Who’d have thought—Why you little cat.” +—-- I’age twenty

LOWELLIAN Jloltbap Jfesttbal The festival opened at noon with a well planned and tempt¬ ing lunch. Patrons came and went through the afternoon, but the majority did not arrive until six o’clock, when the appetiz¬ ing Waffle Supper was served. I he lower hall was a series of Black and Crimson trimmed booths and attractive placards such as “See the World for a Nickel” and “The Four-Legged Baby.” Different rooms con¬ tained all sorts of freaks and attractions such as the tea room, and moving pictures. The Cabaret with the “Topsy and Eva” act starring Manly Rigg and Genevieve Hayhurst, and “Sam an’ Henry” with their minstrel gang was the best attended event. iBeautp Contest I he Beauty Contest held in connection with the carnival opened a few days earlier. The prizes to be given were a box of candy and a full page picture in the “Lowellian.” The exciting time was during the last hour before the con¬ test closed.

Mary Alice had been entered at about 10:15. The contest was to close at 10:30.

+ L O V E L L IA N ■+ Irvin— This little boy just studies away, He’s going to be in the Senate some day, And then we’ll have him propose a bill, That will conform to the Seniors’ will. Catherine— “Kak” has the Irish beauty and wit, With Killarney’s way of saying it, “Sure and she can get a thrill, From a date with Tom or Dick or Bill.” Viola— Viola Gray comes to school each day, In a perfect, logical, usual way, She always looks so neat and keen, She comes by the way of gasoline. Madeline— Tho’ Madeline may seem sedate. She’s not much adverse to fate. For every day we hear her say, “Got a letter from my old man today.” Helen V.— Some folk’s thoughts are of silver or gold, And others’ thoughts are of joys untold, Others’ run to science or book, But Helen’s thoughts are of a “Brook.” Cathe rine S.— “Oh, you’re lucky”—“That’s all right,” Catherine never cuts or bites, But just goes on from day to day, Along her cheery peaceful way. Helen S.— Helen’s quiet and resigning, But she may be designing. At least ’tis said her heart beats faster. When a certain boy goes past her. Neva Lue— A sweet little maid, pretty and neat, See her dance on her nimble feet. An actress gay she fain would be. And her as a Sylvia we’d like to see. + Page twenty-one
