WILLIAM S. COCHRANE “Bud” ‘‘School Life’’ (4); Year Book (4); Hi- 1 ' Club (3) (4); Secre- tary {A)] Class Day Committee (A)] Traffic Squad (A); Physical Education Leader (3); Cross Country (4). “Bud” came to M. H. S. from the Livermore School four years ago. He found hi.s place at once, anfl becau.se of his good looks and pleasing personality he became i)oindar among both boys and girls. “Bud” went in for everything that came along and always did his share of the work. The boys of the Hi-Y Club, in order to show their appreciation of his good cpialities, made him secretary of their club. “Bud” plans to “prep” a year at Wilbraham, after which he is thinking of going to Wesleyan, Connecticut. We know he will .succeed in whatever he does, so best wishes, “Bud!” ISABELLE L. CONN “Izzy” “Red” Girls’ Club (4). Isabelle Conn, better known as “Izzy,” is one of the red-heads of tlse class of ’27. “Izzy” is always happy and has a pleasing personality. “Izzy” spent most of her first three years doing much corre.spondence with her boy-friends, but her last year she devoted mainly to study. “Izzy” is a member of the Girls’ Club at M. H. S. and a friend to every one that knows her. She is planning to become a nurse, and we wish her the best of success. ELIZABETH JANE COOK “Betty” Xuntius (2); “School Life” (4); Year Book (4j; Girls’ Clidi (3) (4); Euclidean Society (3) (4), President (4); French Club (4) ; Vice President {A)] Traffic Squad (A) ' , Assembly Committee (4). “Betty,” during her three years with us, has made an enviable record. Since her sophomore year when she came from Buffalo, N. Y., she has been an excellent student, so much so, in fact, that she earned the honor of being our valedictorian. But her attention has not been confined solel y to her studies, for she has been a very active worker in the Girl’s Club and has .serv ' cd as president of the Euclidean Societj’. “Betty” has performed her duties on the “School Life” staff in a most business-like way, and during this last busy jjart of the senior year she has been the hardest working member of the “Highlights” editorial staff . With her abounding good nature and her wonderful spirit of help- fulness, “Betty” has become one of the best -liked members of ’27. May she carry on the good work at Mount Holyoke next year.

OLIVE ELIZABETH CLARK “Clarkic’ Girls’ Club (4). Olive graduated from the Franklin School, and entered High School determined to go to college. She changed her mind in her sophomore year, as is every woman’s privilege, and we find she has made a success of the secretarial course. During the four years Olive and “Dot” Norwood have been constantly trying to grow up, but Olive’s efforts were in vain for she has the honor of being the shortest (4 feet 10 inches) of the class of 1927. She is undecided where to go, but she will probably attend a secretarial school, and blossom out a first class secretary. PHYLLIS MINOTT CLARKE “Phil” Girls’ Club (3) (4); Euclidean Society (4); French Club (4). Although “Phil” has been in M. H. S. for only two years, her host of friends is unlimited. By her lovely complexion ancl her unbobbed golden hair she has won both the admiration of the boys and the envy of the girls as well as the honor of being the prettiest girl of ’27. She has taken an active part in many of our clubs and especially in the Girl’s Club, where she has done good work as a member of the Induction Team and as keeper of the attendance record. “Phil” has also left a fine scholastic record in M. H. S. She has made plans to enter Framingham Normal next year, when she will take a course in domestic science. GLADYS COBURN “Bee” Mayor of Civics Class (1); Girls’ Club ((2) (3) (4); Chairman of Parent-Faculty Night Committee (4); Physical Education Leader (1) (2). “Bee” is one of our most popular girls, for her happy disposi- tion and roguish smiles win her a host of admirers wherever she goes. The glances of the opposite sex hold no meaning for her, however, as her heart has been completely captured, and all others she has resolved to aban-“Don”. “Bee” is the best of pals and can always be depended upon to faithfully do her share no matter what situation may arise. She is also one of our most clever stenographers, which accomphshment with her well developed qualities for making friends should lead her along the road to success.

Evc’lyn entered good old M. II. S. four years ago from the ■ashingtou School. Sim c then she has proven such an able anti cheerful wttrkt ' r, both in school and social affairs, that she is now one of our most ijojtular members. Her ideasing personality and her ability as a leader won for her the itresideney of the Clirls’ Club, anti she has successfully guided it through a year of worth- while aeeomplishments. Evelyn’s sweet disposition has gained ht ' r a host of friends and, indeed, “just to know her is to love her.’’ feel iuit( ' sure that “Evie” will enter some school of domestic science and we certainly wish her the best of success. M. VIRGINIA CROCKER “Gin” Masque and H ' d (3) (4); Secretary (4); Junior Board of Aldermen A);Girls’ Club i ' S) i-i}; ‘AVisdom Teeth” A) “Rose of Plymouth Town” (3); “The Goose Hangs High” (4); Traffic Squad (4). “Gin” is one of those girls upon whom one can always depend. It is with a happy smile and a consenting nod that she always says she will help out. “Gin” has been a very efficient secretary of the Mascpie and ’ig which is one of her chief inter- ests, for it is through this society that she has become such a noted actress. “Gin” has also been a very active traffic cop, and she surely makes the underclassmen stej) lively. We do not know what “Gin” will choose for her future career, but we know that with such a ])lcasing p( ' rsonality and with such ability she is sure to make a success of life. DEX ' l ' ER B. CROSBY “Dock” “Crosby” Ever since a “petit garcou” in kne( breeches, “Deck” has .set his heart on four hai)i)y years at Hanover, but du( ' to an over- flow of brilliant youths he was unable to get in. ' fhey don’t kiu.w what a man is slipping from them. Deck” has never been listed on any of our social registers. His time has been s])ent in the consuinption of fragments of knowledge. His thir.st for learning, which is an iud nown tpiaidity for most of us, has been almost iimpienchable. Monday and Wednesday Dexter has trotted back and forth to school with his books neatly i)iled under his husky arm. Keep at it, old boy, you’ll get there yet!
