TUSITALA FRANCES MARGARET DOWNEY Happy am I, from care I am free, Why aren't they all ooiitefnted like me? No one could be blue or unhappy when Frances was around. Full of fun, witty and alert, Frances enlivened many a mo- ment which threatened to be dreary. Be- sides this, she was a musician of no mean ability, as was proved by her member- ship in the Mandolin and Glee Club, and by her being chosen as Class Pianist. THEODORE CLINTON DRUMM He has a nimble wit: I think 'twas 'made of Atala-'hta's heels. Did you ever see Ted when he was not laughing or when he did not have some witty remark ready? Even when he was earning his letter in Football IV, he always came up smiling, ready with a joke. In class, when not reciting, his favorite pastime was to sneak a little sleep. LORRAINE EVA DUFOUR A delicate, attractive, dainty little fig- ure, 'uncommonly bright brown eyes, vested with vivacity and iiitelligencef When called upon to recite, Lorraine always had her lessons, and won a place in the Upper Third, yet whenever there was a good time in progress, she was al- ways to be found in the midst of the gaiety. How she did it was always an unsolved mystery to her classmates in Room 5, as Lorraine never vouched un- necessary explanation. She proved espe- cially discreet in her service at the teach- er's lunch counter in senior year. In her junior year she was a Tattler Reporter. We will always remember her as the de- lightfully French little French girl in the Senior Play. J

TUSITALA ROMEO Louis D1oN I shall never wear my heart upon 'my sleeve For daws to peck at. Shakespeare's Romeo could never have excelled ours. He was always at home among the girls. If he wasn't at school, or mixing drinks where he worked, you'd find him at a dance. He was in the cast of Marcheta. Go to it, Romeo. Re- member you're only young once. ALICE DOUGLAS Her heart is good humored, 'tis honest and sound, No envy or malice is there to be found. Alice was another of our commuters who may have appeared to be a girl of few words, but some of us were roused to envy by her eloquence when it came to oral compositions. She was eighth in the Upper Third. Will she become a great political leader in the future and be called the second silver-tongued ora- tor? EDMUND BUCKLE DOWNEVY Ne,er breathed a truer friend. Football II, III, IV. Track Squad III, IV. Baseball I, II, III, IV. Junior Council, III, Senior Council IV. Athletic Association III, IV. Traiiic Squad IV. Stage Manager, Senior Play. Little Ed was the star on football and baseball fields. When he was Cap- tain of the Baseball Team III, Nashua won the State Championship. Ed loved humor and was always pulling wise cracks which caused whole classes to burst out in laughter. May Ed hit the line in life as skillfully as when he hit the opposing playerson football fields.

TUSITALA ALICE MILDRED DUTTO-N Oh, what a pal was Alice! Alice was more easy to get acquainted with than some people realized. She was quiet and retiring, but was always on the dot when fun was wanted, and had a keen sense of humor. Alice, here's wishing you much luck in the future! CONSTANTINE EFTHIMIOS Perseve'rance 'ls the secret of success. Connie, as we all called him, was the shortest member of the class, but every inch of his small stature was full of pep and ginger. His pen was as mighty as any sword and he could 'tear off a good poem or story in no time. His powers as a debater were unquestioned and when he spoke we did not lend him our ears,-we gave them to him. Am- bition was his middle name and Perse- verance his motto. DOROTHY ELISABETH Ess0N Gentle manners are always captivat- ing. Dot was one of the quietest and best liked girls in Room 5. Despite the fact that her lovely hair was auburn in tint, she never became angry if you teased her about it. She was always calm and unruifled and could be depended upon to help in a pinch. We hope you keep it up, 'iDot.
