XIII. THE CHRONICLE. Charles Bridgett ’’Chubby’’ As a parson. Chub, you’re a failure, For you can’t keep away from the smokes, You say a “cig's” good for what “ails yer,’’ ’Tis true if they’re called “Holy Smokes.” Chubby surely has been a valuable asset to our class. Up in the front seat he has kept Miss Fowler from getting despondent by his bright ( ?) remarks and then, too, he has proved himself valuable in making announcements. The most happy-go-lucky and the worst kicker in our class. Rather versatile, what? Basketball (3-4) ; Football (3-4) ; Minstrels (4). Dorothy Brockett “Dot” Dorothy Brockett is very demure, But for all that I am sure Home ties some day she’ll sever, For Dorothy is wondrous clever. In spite of her long journey, Dot” always manages to get to school on time. The walks seems to do her good for she is one of the honor pupils. College Club (4) ; French Club (4). Newton Brockett “Nczot”’ Newton appears to be shy, But hist! and I’ll tell you why, It seems he’s really fond of girls But only those who have dark curls. We hear Newton is going to college and we hope some day he will be manager of a large farm. Good luck, Newt! Francis Brown The Deacon The young man who occupies this niche, lie comes from Yalesville town, He has a voice of decided bass pitch, And his name is Francis Brown. The deacon” is one of our important Yalesville members, whose deep voice has often gained a place on our stage. He plans to become a M. D. after he leaves L. H. H. S.

xn. THE CHRONICLE. Charlotte Bergamini “Bergie” You speak not only with your lips, But with your eyes as well. And with which one you speak the most Truly, maid, I cannot tell. It is fortunate that Charlotte and her friend Peggy are to work in the same office, otherwise their lives would be two, sad drooping tales. We used to think Charlotte was a man-hater but that was before we gave her a fair trial. Now we find that she is quite fond of them in the “main.” Booster Club (4); Booster Club Play (4); Prize Speaking: Contest (t) (4) ; Minstrels (4) ; Glee Club Concert (4). John Bowen “Jack’’ Jack is clever, we’ll all admit, |And all his writings have made a hit. He's very brave, and much he Doehrs To make him forget his little coehrs. What would we do without Jack ? Jack has certainly made a decided-hit with his Chronicles of the Lyman Hallites. Yes, there’s a reason why he Doehrs to go up Elm street, even though it is very dark. . French Club (3-4) ; French Play (4) ; Minstrels (4) ; Prophecy (4) ; Chronicle S'taff (4). Raymond Bordeleau “Pete” Pete could give the girls a good line, But to speak before the school. Why, do you know he played hookey. Which was against the rule. When you speak of Mack trucks, look out for Pete —experience teaches, doesn’t it? He is also one of our shorthand sharks, but nevertheless, lie finds time to go to Meriden seven nights a week. What is it, Pete? Booster Club (4) ; Chronicle (4) ; Basketball (3-4). Elizabeth Brennan “Elizabeth” Elizabeth, who is quite a lady, Wonders why she is called a baby, For she always knows her lesson, And is never late at any session. Although Elizabeth has been with us for four whole years, we hardly knew it because she believes in the old adage “he seen and not heard.” College Club (4); French Club (3).

THE CHRONICLE. Rosamund Burke “Rose” Rosamond Burke, or Rose for short. Her hair and complexion that can’t he bought. Her happy ways and sunny smiles, Makes the day brighter and life worth while. Rose seems to attract offices or work just like a magnet attracts steel, but who can say that she’s not clever in carrying out either? How does it feel to be a suffragetter, Rose? Remember, you are establishing a precedent that may be followed entirely in future years. Booster Club (4) ; Class President (4) ; Chronicle Staff (4) : Minstrels (4) ; Glee Club (1-4). William Clarke “Bill” l“()h Bill, why do you scorn us so?” The girls cry in a heat, “You pass us by without a glance, But why are you red as a beet?” ‘‘Bill'’ is a good sport. He is always there when it comes to work, but we don’t like to make speeches, do we, Bill? Manager Baseball Team (3-4). XI . Jennie Costa ‘Jennie” The girls like Jennie and so do the boys, Though sometimes we’ll admit she makes a lot of noise; But she does her share in making fun And never from work has she been'known to run. What would we do without Jennie? She is always good natured and ready to help us all especially for our class night. Booster Club (4) ; Minstrels (4) ; Basketball (3-4) : Class Day Committee (4) ; Glee Club (3-4). Anna Daly “Anna” Anna and Margaret from Tracy come Each morning, as prompt as can be. But how they can tell each other apart, Is more than we can see. Anna lives in a continual state of nervousness for fear her twin will disgrace her. In spite of that she is good fun and we like to have the twins around. College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4).
