HAROLD BUSHNELL On the whole Harold was a regular guy. He chewed gum in his English Class and did many other things which marked him out as an ordi- nary person. Yes, Bushnell's Annual Minstrel Show was a decided success this year as well as last, Harold made a hit also on the gridiron h wit row the Senior team-everybody wanted to bor- his helmet.

In his four years at Meriden High, Rus- sell has participated in about every worth-while activity that high school has afforded and he has left a deep imprint in each one of them. Debat- ing, Literary, Athletics, Dramatics and musical organizations claim him. Russell is president of the class of 1923 and Editor of this year's Annual. However, Russell has one weakness. Well, the least we say the better.

You have here the biggest little optimist our athletic teams have ever had. What Billy couldn't make up in size he accomplished by his Way of encouraging his team-mates. Though he may be small, however, don't think Le was in- significant. Bill piled up nearly as any points during the basketball season as any other member on the team.

GRACE GUSTAFSON Grace Gustafson holds the honor of being the first girl to occupy the position of Circulation Manager of the Annual.', Grace also is a sub on the Basketball Team. I suppose you all re- call that in the typewriting contest which vvas held in Hartford, Grace captured one of the Prizes upholding the title of M. H. S. Grace is the spark plug of the class, so you see how hard it would be for us to get along without her. Sigma Tau, President3 La Sociedad Literaria Espanol, Secretaryg S. G.

HAROLD PERRY Behold an active member of the famous Irish Society. Pennant meetings would have been comparatively quiet without Harold, who has the happy faculty of imitation combined with a strain of humor all his own. He is one of the best business men M. H. S. has seen in a long time. His favorite expression is Meet me in the Library.

Margaret Reardon has led the senior basketball team in its successful campaign this season. Also she was one of those healthy young ladies who indulged in soccer nearly every afternoon last fall. Besides bein!! interested in athletics. Margaret is musical, hav- ing been a member of the High School Orchestra for two years.

JAMES DONOVAN This young man is another who makes it hard for us who want to tell something about him. We can't find anything extraordinary about him -no scandal or anything. James has surely led a very secluded life thus far. Maybe he is going to study divinity--who knows? We don't. French Club 111.
