1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Alexander Joseph Colexa lluck” Class Diligence “Diligence is the mother of good luck.” Here he is—anotlier bashiul boy! Coming home from Boston I luck was amazed and very uneasy when a certain young lady laid her head on his shoulder. Maybe he didn’t turn the colors of a rainbow! Huck has never told us that he likes school, but it is taken for granted when we see the good marks he gets. The favorite expression with which he greets some of the boys in the morning is, ‘‘Hey, have you got your Bookkeeping doner He is well known as an athlete for he showed up very well last fall in kicking the pigskin, and he also did good work in the line. He was one of the mainstays of the basketball team, and he plays rights field on the nine. Marion Beech Cushm.ax “Cushie” Class Independent “How she can reel off that History Is to us a I ' ery great mystery.” Cushie is always busy and always prepared with her lessons. She is a joy to her teachers for e ' en if everyone else forgets or fails, Marion saves the situation and the reputation of the class. We wonder if there is a book in the ctiy that she hasn’t read. How she remembers it all is more than we can conceive. Besides a fondness for reading Cush has another weakness, tulips . We don’t know about her backyard but we imagine that at least one half of it is devoted to the growing of those colorful flowers. Marion intends to go to Bridgewater Normal School this fall. We hope that she may fulfill her ambitions and make us proud to have known her as a member of our class. W ILLI.A.M Sexton Downey lister” Downey Class Salesman “He can look serious and he can look gay, And he’s some salesman allow us to say.” Hail to pur class salesman and class maiden allurer! Wdren Bill Downey is not ably showing the up-to-date shoes to customers he is reciting the lines of Macbeth” in a fearful manner, to a member of the weaker sex. Bill can always pick out a nice look¬ ing shoe or girl (but he is more sound in his judgment of shoes). Because Bill has always been friendly with everyone he ranks high among the popular boys of our class, and because he has been faithful to study he will in all probability enter college in the fall. Wherever he may go he may be sure that the memory that he leaves will be cherished. 26

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Audrey Evelyn Cann • ‘ Audrey” Class Poet “To know, to esteem, to love—and then to part Makes up life’s tale to many a feeling heart.” What shall we do when Audrey leaves our little city for the big city of Haverhill? We shall not forget her smile and that dimple in her left cheek! Our local news sheet, too, will miss publishing Audrey’s name for it is Audrey Cann now and Audrey Cann every so often with them. And why shouldn’t she receive so much publicity when her social functions are carried on so wonderfully and her readings rendered in such an excellent manner? But before she goes we’re going to lay bare a deep, dark secret. Those who thought Audrey always had her lessons prepared should have seen her some mornings swallowing huge mouthfuls of German grammar. It must be great to have an apparatus somewhere above one’s shoulders that can assimilate like that! We shall welcome your cheerful Hello”, Audrey, when you visit us in the future. Here are our deepest love and sincere wishes for you. Fay Edward Carey “Fay” Class Speedster “He lives at ease, that freely lives.” Fay is one of the most popular young fellows of the class. One can see him on pleasant afternoons driving his Ford Touring” about the principal streets of our city. His reputation as a Snappy Dresser” w’on him a part in the Senior Play and he ful¬ filled all expectations—and then some—to wit the brown derby. He will not have to learn how to make love to his wife after all the practise gained in this same performance. He is planning to go to C. M. T. C. this summer to make himself a “big” man and St. Anselm’s is his goal for the fall. Angelina Agnes Cincotta “Annie” Class Puzzle Annie, the perplexing, Annie, the lovable, Annie, a studious maid of Marlboro High School. {U ' ith apologies to 7 ' ennyson) First and always, Annie is diminutive. Then, in turn we find her coldly practical, provokingly discerning, dishearteningly -matter- of-fact (as deplored by Miss H.) and hopelessly devoid of senti¬ ment. She is a most energetic little body when at work with that half-defiant expression which is habitual to her. But, in her moments of recreation, she lays by her quiet reserve and abounds in sparkling vitality. Annie is a shorthand Whiz”, and we sur¬ mise (according to testimony happily rescued by Mrs. .M. from its doom in the waste-basket) that she will become a teacher of that mystic and highly bewitching art—stenography. 25

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Charlotte ’irginia Drake “Chookic” Class Infant “Play not for gain, but sport.” If here isn’t our little friend Charlotte Drake,—our class baby in years, at any rate! Chookie is one of our best sports, the highest kicker in the school, a good basket-ball player and our cheer leader. As a traffic officer she’s as gentle as a lamb but there’s no telling what might happen if a “jam” occurred. Chookie is a poetess and artist too, and if she continues the good work we shall see the fruits of her literary labors In print and her pictures in the famous art galleries of the world. Charlotte proved her skill as an actress in the Junior play—not much Chookie can’t do. Minerva May Drake “Mi m y) Class Nightingale “0!—She mil sing the savageness out of a bear.” ’hen the two Drake girls entered High School four years ago they were spoken of as the “light one” and the “dark one”. Well, we’re talking about the “dark one” now. Minerva possesses a very clear, soprano voice which everyone delights to hear. Several times during our four years she has favored us with solos. Alin” has been one of the traffic regulators. With just a Hash of an eye, chaos is turned into order. We hope that she may always be able as easily to turn things around to her way of thinking. Joseph Francis Evans “Joe” Class Helper “y great worker—yet how modest!” Introducing the man behind the scenes in both our Senior and Junior Plays—Joe Evans. Without Joe our stage ventures would hardly have been a success for not many would have undertaken to make a pine forest blossom where a living room had been before. Joe also has been very prominent In sports. He plays both base¬ ball and football exceedingly well. Although he shone as quarter¬ back on the eleven, baseball is the sport that he prefers. Third base is his position and there is not a better player in the Midland League. Hail, Big Boy! 27
