JOSEPH M. DEVINE Father 44 Watt Street, Maiden c Machinists Mate Dance Committee A man of many accomplishments . . . Father Devine must certainly rank among our leading class characters .

DIAMOND ' Art ' r A.C. 153 Florence Street, Melrose Noted for ability in taking notes and sleeping in grotesque positions . . . Art could always be found peer- ing into his locker, the contents of which, is still a mystery ... A young man ' s friend . . . Recently estab- lished a perfect vacuum talking to a permanent crew- man. . . Success will have to be evasive indeed, to evade this aggressive chap for long. . . 27
