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).

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. French Club (3-4) ; French play (4) ; Manager Football (4i

THE CHRONICLE. XV. Margaret Daly “Peg” Margaret so far as we can see. A chemistry teacher wants to be. And it seems to us that from the start She knew its value in household arts. The twins come all the way from 1 racy and “Leg’ nearly loses her car every morning because of Anna. Does Peg likes raisins? We’ll say she does! College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4). Florence Delaney “Florence’’ Ideas that spring from your young head, Are but of pranks, ’tis known— Yet wisdom ever hides its face In wit most wisely sown. Florence our class orator won, by her ability to speak, the silver medal offered by the Woman’s Club. When there are debates or entertainments, she is always there with her speech. Booster Club (4) ; Booster Play (4) ; Glee Club Concert (4) ; First Prize in Speaking Contest (4) ; Junior Ploy (3). Charlotte Doehr Lottie” The girl so popular and dramatic, Drives all the boys into flights romantic, You may search the world, but tell me where. You can find one to match our Lottie Doehr. We could never have done without Lottie for she’s always right there. In making posters no- one can heat her. Shall we ever forget her clever personification of the “Aunt from California’’ in the Rooster club play?

You, too, have loads of school spirit. But when we want a poem, we just call on you and we get it, a regular humdinger, too. Booster Club (4) ; Basketball (3-4) ; School Song (4) ; Class Poem (4).
