xif. THE CHRONICLE. Fred Chapman “Fritz “A farmer’s life the life for me.” We understand that Fred would rather work on the farm than go to school. Not very complimentary to us, is it? He has a very excitable disposition, as the laboratory bill would indicate. But in spite of love for the farm, Fred says he prefers to live in the city. What is the attraction? Harry Chase “Chasie” “Some are born great, Some achieve greatness, And some have greatness thrust upon them.” As business manager for the Chronicle we can’t say enough for Harry. His has certainly been a career of “busyness.” Sarcastic, did you say? We can’t much wonder he is a trifle (?) conceited, considering the amount he has done for the class. Richard Clark “Dick “He’s a sure card.” “Dick” is a sure card when it comes to class affairs. His cheerful grin, his frank generosity, and his ability as president of the Vacation Club make him a favorite. Dorothy Collett “Dot “Of all the clever lasses There’s none so clever as she.” If you want a poster, call on Dot. She is noted for her ability as an artist and her dramatic talent. We think she likes to appear before the limelight. She also won first prize in the Chronicle story contest. Dot is a good, all-around sport and we always enjoy her company.

THE CHRONICLE. XI. 0U (Hall Thelma Bertini “Tclma'’ “She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone.” Thelma is a demure, quiet girl who has a hobby of being nice to every one. Her chief interest is her brother- We think Brother Bill is to be envied. Leslie Bristol “Red” “These fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies’ favors—they do always then reason themselves out again.” Red is a good-natured lad, quite popular among the girls. Perhaps it’s his hair. He is an all-around athlete and noted for his track ability. James Burns “Bullet” “Better late than never.' When it comes to athletics, Jim is right there. In football he derived his nickname from his power in hitting the line. Burns is always ready to do his bit when it comes to the music line, too. James is so good at making excuses that we suspect him of an acquaintance with the Blarney Stone. Cyril Cass “Cycle” “A rare good man in his own good way, Who is always ready to say his say.” Cycle held down the honored office of class president for the senior year, with the dignity of a “Traffic cop.” His abilities are not confined to politics, however, as he has distinguished himself in athletics, managing and playing, and has shown oratorical powers in the auditorium. Besides all this, he is popular and we expect to hear of him in Holy Cross.

THE CHRONICLE. XIII. Ruth Collins Ruthie” “Silence is the most perfect herald of joy.” “Ruthie” is very .quiet and gentle and never speaks unless spoken to. She always has her lessons prepared and causes her teachers no trouble. But never mind, Ruthie, we wish there were more like you in our class. Charlotte Drum Charlie” “She pays him in his own coin.” No one can put anything over on “Charlie.” At dancing she is a wonder but when it comes to flirting, “Charlie” simply can’t be beat. They say she has a weakness for sun’s Rays. Margaret Fogarty “Marg” “Tall and stately, she carries herself like a queen.” “Marg” is one of the popular members of our class. As “Mabel” in the Senior play she made a decided hit with her “Step-hen.” We wonder which is before her, a dramatic or a business career. Gerald Griffin Griff” “Smile and show your dimples.” “Griff” is the most optimistic fellow in our class. Nothing seems to worry him. Keep it up “Griff”— that’s the spirit.
