TUSITALA pm Vnuzn-: M. FsL'roN ' ' There wax a soft and pensive grace, A ras! of tlzouglzt upon her face. 'Ten-alum! The supposedly mythical xm- rlenz' has been found! This girl won't need a break to make good, for she creates her own opportunities. Virgie has worked hard, both inside of school and out, and we know that if she retains. that spirit of persever- ance, nothing will faze her. Virgie was a mystery of Room 5. Although she seemed to us quiet and shy, Dame Rumour has it that a certain young man did not find her so. Never mind, Virgie. VVe kidded you a lot, but we're all wishing you the best luck ever. She assisted nohly in the typing of this class-book. I-IELIEN Form Ours is a world of zvordxz Quiet tue fall 'Silenre'-zvlzirlz ix tllc n1r'ri'.vz word of all. Helen was one ot our auburn haired girls from across the river, never wasteful of her time-always found in her home room in the morning-busy at work. VVhen it Came to Shakespeare, we certainly were envious of the Way she could remember facts. Helen was one of our quiet girls, but it could be plainly seen that she was storing up all knowledge that would help her later. In fact, Hele11 was one of ourbrilliant members of the Upper Fourth. EDWIN A. FR.-xNcosU1z It is the tranquil people who acromplish much. Edwin. was one of those rare persons-a consistently good student. He helped make up the small group who took Virgil. He proved to be another one of Mr. VVilson's standbys, playing violin in the Orchestra 1, ll, IH, and IV. Always well-mannered, this member of Upper Fourth went his way without intruding in the affairs of others. He showed good-taste in clothes, always he- ing neatly and stylishly dressed. Edwin plans to enter college next fall, Best wishes, Edwin!

TUSITALA AMi:1.1A RUTH FRICLSNI ll'li0sc little body lodged a mighty mind. Our diminutive Amelia was, in spite of her size, one of the most brilliant, witty, talkative, and affable among us. And she had friends galore! Reading books and writing were her pet hobbies. VVheu the con- versation turned to books, she left us all in the background.

He was very shy, modest, and had little to do with the gentler sex. He possessed the merit of punctuality, and his classmates thought him indispensable. Al ushered at graduation III and the Senior Class Play IV, and was a member of the Independent Hockey Team IV. I'HY1.L1s XVANEATA GA1.i.1iP A pal to all, and a grand good sport.
