XX. THE CHRONICLE. Edna Squires “Ed” “Maiden, with the fair brown ( ?) tresses, Shading o’er the deep blue eye.” Edna comes from North Haven, but that doesn’t harm her any. Edna has a bright future ahead of her, if she goes to Texas, but for our part, we’ll hate to lose her. Lloyd Steele “Jim” “For thy sake, tobacco, I Would do anything but die.” Jim is a good natured lad who loves to study ( P'1 His greatest hobby is having his lessons prepared (?) He is a great favorite among the boys and a star in Fred Ulbrich “Freddie” “I aim to be champion in all I do.” Fred is a quiet, unassuming, little fellow. In English he is a star ( ?) and in Office Training he proved his ability to secure a job from Mr. Kratzer with the aid of a pocket dictionery. We fear that his finances will always suffer from his love of candy. Home Guards. Benjamin Vogel “Bennie” “I’ll bet’cha a dollar.” If Bennie possessed all the money he talks about, he’d be one of Wallingford’s few millionaires. His interest in farming is a start in the right direction.

THE CHRONICLE. XIX. Corrine Rundle “Billy” “Brilliant objects catch the eye.” “Billy” is a mild girl with a quiet but not backward manner. She has the popularity of “Class Beauty,” and the fame of “Class Artist.” Leslie Rundle “Nip” “The wisest man is generally he who thinks himself the least so.” “Nip” is one of the few members of our class who have been on the honor roll for four years. We all know “Nip” likes “Roses.” “Nip” has been popular in athletics. Mabel Rushworth “Rushy” “Good humor is always a success.” Good nature and quick wit are Mabel’s charms. She hails from the neighboring metropolis, Yalesville. Ask her if she likes moonlight walks. Marion Sheehy “Molly” “It becomes me to be modest.” “Mally” is a very quiet girl; she seldom talks, but when she does we all understand that she means what she says (?) “Mally” intends to join an ambulance unit after graduation.

THE CHRONICLE. XXI. Adelaide Wallace “Addie” “Stick to your aim.” Adelaide Verna Wallace has done this for four years. If she had been a little more faithful at certain times, she would have been on the honor roll. “Addie” played the part of “Julie,” the modiste’s apprentice in the French play, “Madame est Sortie.” John Welch “Sliver” “Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look.” Johnnie has been called a woman hater, but thos who know him doubt it. He’s an ambitious fellow and fond of making resolutions but does he keep them? Well, we appreciate his good intentions. Nellie Wooding “Nell” “The race is not always to the swift.” Nellie always gets there even if she does take her time. In error-proof typewriting, Nellie’s smooth precision always lands her first. We understand her greatest ambition is to be a boy, so she can join the army, but we wonder what kind of a soldier she would make. CLASS SONG Four years have now passed and the parting is nigh, When our comrades will leave this dear hall, With the sounds of their merriment all gone for aye, From their laughter, no glad echo’s call, Good friends they have been through each swift fleeting year, And although now our ways soon must part Their memories ever will linger more dear In the depths of our faithful school-heart. Farewell, then, ye leaders of school life so gay, God speed ye, where e’er ye may go, And the many perhaps will be called far away, Here’s hoping success you may know. But let the dreams come of the school days gone by, And in thought, just return to this scene, May its memory fair in your heart never die, The Class Day of 1918.
