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. President Booster Club (4) ; Orchestra (2-3-4) ; Chronicle (4).

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).

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.

XV111. THE CHRONICLE. Frances Hoff ‘‘Frances” Maidens should be mild and meek, Swift to hear and slow to speak. Frances is our class grind and she doesn’t like the boys, but we don’t believe it; just ask Floyd Steiner. Chronicle Staff (4) : College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4) : Class Night Committee (4). Stephen Hopkins “Steve” A very smoky fellow is Steve, With hair of a reddish sheen, I can’t think of anything else to write, ' But that second line rhymes with Irene. A deep voice accompanied by smoke, always proclaims Steve’s presence. But we always like to have him around and we wonder what, the school will do without him. We always looked forward to reading your stories in the Chronicle, Steve. Fo.itball Term (3-4; Chronicle (3-4). Eileen Houlihan “Eileen” You have a lot of Irish A shining thru’ your eye. And when you get your temper up. The rest of us do fly. Eileen is sure destined to be an actress. She is perfectly at home on the stage. She is also quite a speedy typist, having won the sixty-word Underwood card case, a thing much desired by all. Booster Club (4) ; Rooster Club Play (4) ■ Rnsketh-ill (3-4i • Minstrels (4) ; Glee Club (4). Emma Kelsey “Emma” Emma always pretends That she never has any friends, But it would surely surprise us all To see that husky young man call. We all love to hear what Emma has to tell us the morning after the night before, but it’s nice to be popular, isn’t it, Emma? Her aspirations are high—even to “earldoms.” And Emma, don't you love roses in winter ? College Club (4) ; French Club (3-4) ; French Piny (4).
