XIV. THE CHRONICLE. Helen Hayden 'Helena” “I never dare to write as funny as I can.” Helen is one of our best-natured girls. She is full of fun and as jolly as the day is long. She often amuses the class with her oral compositions and just loves (?) to prepare them. Her sole ambition is to keep the books from sliding off a bookkeeper’s desk. We wish you success, Helen. Ruth Heilmann Rufus” “Zeal and duty are not slow.” Talk about class spirit—“Rufus” is right there. Her interest centers in the gym so much that she is sometimes loath to leave it. “Rufus’” interest in War-wrens has been very noticeable. She has been elected the most popular girl of our class. Helen Hotchkiss Helen” “Her voice is ever soft, Gentle and low; an excellent thing in woman.” Helen is a quiet, unobtrusive little lass as may be gleaned from the above quotation. She has a praiseworthy characteristic in her unselfishness. Helen would share her last cent. She thoroughly enjoys this beautiful spring weather when driving her car. Donald Johnston “Don” “Be mine a better task to find A tribute to thy lofty mind.” Don aspires to be a second Caruso, and we think he is well on the way. Perhaps some day he will make our class famous, who knows?

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.

THE CHRONICLE. XV. Philip Judd “Pip” Will you sing?— More at your request than to please myself.” Pip” is noted for his singing. His voice may be heard throughout the school when the Glee Club rehearses. He gets into all activities—athletics, fun and troubles; i. e. Math. Elizabeth Keane Bessie” Troubles may come and troubles may go, but I worry not.” Bessie is the stoutest girl in our class. Her happy smile and congeniality are shown in everything she does. We all know Bessie is fond of the Andes Mts. Catharine Keeler “Cat” Knowledge is power.” Where did she ever get all that she knows? She can tell you—faithful work and diligence. She has distinguished herself as a poetess and alumni editor of the “Chronicle.” We understand she doesn’t like her red hair, but we think it’s nice. Janies Kelly “Jim” “Always at it wins the day.” Jim” is our class athlete. His squareness and sporting spirit wins him many friends among the boys. As for girls, we only hope that Jim will be as successful in caging “Bees” as he is in caging baskets.
