XVI. THE CHRONICLE. Velma Downey “Velma’ One of our girls so clever and sweet Looks like a picture, she is so neat— Imagine a book and a box of Lowney's, And Velma in the hammock down at Downey’s. Velma is one of our quiet girls but we all like to have her around; we know that “still waters run deep.” French Club (3-4) ; College Club (4). Martha Eriksen “Mart” She is pestered with dates. From sun up an’sun (Anson) down, And she smiles through her classes i With never a frown. Dancing and athletics have won for Mart her enviable place in the class. We wonder if she gets a commission from the Conn. Co. on the passengers from North Haven to Wallingford. If not, we’ll speak about the matter at once. Basketball (2-4) ; Orchestra (3-4) ; Glee Club (1-4) ; Minstrels (4) ; Typewriting Contest (4) ; Booster Club (4) ; Booster Club Play (4). Stella Goldman “Goldie'’ Now Stella, who is in our class, Is a quiet, attentive little lass, Her desire is to seek more knowledge In order that she may attend a great college. Stella is a quiet member of our class. We hardly know she’s here at all, although at times she surprises us with a sudden outburst, er, Stella? College Club (4) ; French Club (4) ; Orchestra (3-4). Cecil Greenslet “Cecil’’ Cecil is our teacher’s pet Every attention she’s sure to get. And tho’ she cares so little for Latin, She never tires of a certain “Sattan.” Cecil is always busy, but she doesn’t make any fuss about it. It pays to work though, when you see your name on the honor roll, doesn’t it, Cecil? She showed her dramatic ability in the Junior play. Junior play (3) ; Booster Club (4) ; Booster play (4); Glee Club.

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? Speaking Contest (2-3) : Basketball (3-4) : Booster Club (4) : Booster Play (4) ; Glee Club (1-2-4) ; Minstrels (4) ; Class N'iglit Committee (4); Chronicle (1-2-3); Gold Medal (4). Marion Downey “Marion You are consigned to noble fame, O maiden, fair and clever, You cannot see a soul in doubt But that you help him ever. We have to hand it to you, Marion, you sure are clever. 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).

THE CHRONICLE. XVII. Ruth Hassett “Cupid” If grit could git you anywhere, You would lead the topmost line. Strive ever on and on, brave heart. And claim success as thine. Ruth, you must have been born under a lucky star, for you captured a class honor, the most forgetful. But never mind, you can forget that, too, because you won’t have to remember when to get up after graduation. Booster Club (4). Esther Hayden “listhcr” Your voice asks e'en of the wind, Who said each passing word. And when one asks Who told you that?” Your answer is “A little bird.” Esther, who is some talker, is full of fun and frolic. Her one weakness is sleep and many mornings she appears on the scene without any breakfast, poor thing. Bolster Club (4) ; Booster Play (4). Frederick Hill l rcd To have the title “Professor,” In front of his name would fit Hill, And although I’m not a good guesser, I'll bet that some day he will. Fred is always on time, or rather time is always on his wrist. He showed his ability for dramatics in the Junior Play. Junior play (3) ; Speaking Contest (3) ; Booster Club (4). Roger Hocking Rog” A dull burg that you live in, Mr. Hocking, Where the tide never rises or falls But there’s one thing I can say for you. Roger, That your town surely has fine “stone walls' We always hail Roger and his violin with delight, and we don't know what the school and the orchestra will do without him. Keep on fiddling Rog, and some day you'll be a second Fritz Kreisler. As the first president of the newly organized Booster Club Roger has done wonders, too. and we hope future presidents will follow in his footsteps.
