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.

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?

XVI. THE CHRONICLE. Hulda Kratzke “Hooldah” “Hard work earns its just reward.” Hulda is small but mighty. She was not only Edi-tor-in-Chief of the “Chronicle” and Treasurer of the Senior class, but also earned the honor of being Valedictorian. Hulda does well in everything she undertakes. We may truly say that Hulda is the pride of our class. Catherine Leonard “Kitty” “Her deep blue eyes smile constantly— As if they had by fitness, Won the secret of a happy dream, She does not care to speak.” We all like Kitty. She is industrious and hardworking, but nevertheless, always finds time to attend the Southington games. Why? We wonder. If you want to find out more about Catherine, look for Margaret. Edmund Leonard “Ebbiev “He that has good wits has much to answer for.” “Ebbie” has proved his popularity by carrying away the majority of the class elections. In other words— “good goods come in small packages.” His humor, also sarcasm, has been taxed to the utmost this last year. His one failing—he is “a gentleman that loves to hear himself talk, and will say more in a minute than he will stand in a month.” Mary Loomis “Marie” “A fig for care, and a fig for woe!” “Marie” has won distinction for her typewriting speed. She doesn’t seem to care much about anything. But do you know that it has been foretold that she has an art which can be seen from her chubby fingers? To think that she had been wearing a thimble to bed every night to conceal this art!
