NEWB E DEFOR DanIGH SCHOOL - ADELE MARIE MERCHANT Oct. 13, 1904 Commercial Jireh Swift Business Enter the short plump Adele, very quiet in school but you ought to meet her at Pope Beach summers. -She sure does step out and tripple at the casino. She has one of those smiles and all t’other things the poets rave about. She is only seventeen but she talks like a book. A-cho-o-o she can sharpen her pencil with my razor any day. She holds down a front seat in Room 101 in order to bless the late arrivals as they enter about the last bell. We shall regret it much if she isn’t persuaded to take a P. G. Best wishes to this frivolous classmate of ours. PAUL JORNTPALLATRONI Middle Street Feb. 1, 1904 General University of Vermont This is the guy that has kept Miss Newland on her nerves. His rubber locks of charcoal hue add much to his looks displayed to good advantage. Paul’s biggest task was to learn how to drag his flappers over a dance floor and paddle around. Now that he has proven him- self an athlete he stands around and urges the new- comers to the hall of famedom. Paul has served the school well and faithfully and goes ddwn as one of the props of true N. B. HS. ‘spirit. Paul is often subject to chills and keeps his system warm with “O Italiana Vina et Spaghettia.” To this good natured youth let us toast, “Sound health and success in the future.” President Athletic Association 1921, Senior Prom Committee, R. O. T. C., Football, Baseball. PAUL ARTHUR SENFT Feb. 9, 1904 Commercial Abraham Lincoln Business This lad so quiet and scarce of presence we know little about, except that he has followed athletics to some extent and is musically inclined for he plays good violin and is a member of the orchestra.

18 RED AND WHITE HELEN MACY April 16, 1903 Commercial Middle Street Aha, here is the proud conqueror of men’s hearts. Such dreamy orbs are hers. We shall miss her dear presence in the future for every morning, rain or shine, she always had a pleasant inspiring smile for the inmates of Room 101. She is going to be a private secretary to some dude. I will vouch her Irish eyes can knock anybody silly except Maurice Portnoy her conservative seat-mate. Somehow Helen always whisper edgewise even though Miss Newland keeps tabs on her. Still she is a spiff at her lessons and needs no watching on their account. That is why we are sure Helen is going to score after she leaves H. S. If those LILLIAN MACKAY March 15, 1904 Commercial Betsy C. Winslow Miss Wheelock’s School This smiling damsel is none other than that famous Lillian. Just look at them thar eyes, oh-h-h boy! They say she has a very sweet disposition, and often finds a chance to acquaint someone with the fact. Like Con- way, she has three specialties, boys, dancing, and more boys. Lillian also comes in the class with Sullivan and Kuwaski because she never bothers much about study- ing, and still manages to slip through edgewise. What say, Lillian? Wish you luck for the future.

Knowton Columbia Here is ushered in by the left hand toe-nail our Velvet Joe of North End Fame, constant companion of a Dodge shoe horn, never known to have missed a single social at the H. S. during his four years interment. Joe has caused many a worry to all his teachers, including Mr. Godreau, and his team mate in these insurrections lies in the person of Constance Edmund Gregory. The latter’s sobriquet describes the frequency of their tribu- lations. Joe is one of the best-lookers of the whole kennel and isn’t an all ’round lemon as denoted by his nickel beer smile. Joe’s haberdashery is exclusive and he knocks all the women silly by his admirable ways and succeeds in pleasing them all. For the benefit of the monobrainic it is worthy to notice that he is not to- tally ignorant musically for he has featured. in the orchestra and Glee Club.

20 RED VAN DAW iELTE ROSE SARA SHUS TB May 8, 1904 Commercial Allen F. Wood Boston University When I light my Pittsburg stogie its aroma is soon drowned by the approach of a young lady, in a distinc- tive individual manner like a popular brand of talcum powder. She sure has rosy cheeks this little Rosie and she’s some girl, I’ll tell the world. Maybe she can’t dance and pal and cuddle O-oh-h-h man. Somehow she is fond of reporters! Perhaps this is too deep, but ask her about it, she’ll tell you. She has a glad smile for everyone and we feel sure she will make life happier for someone. To her we wish success, for she has been a constant worker at H. S. and B. U.will receive a faith- ful student. Class Motto Committee, Girls’ Glee Club. ERNEST TAVARES SILVA Vern 2) as Scientific Congdon Stettson University This is the gentleman who knocks ’em stiff in French. He sure does possess a commanding eloquence but it is hard to understand it. Still he has worked hard and deserves credit for his perseverance. He has undoubt- edly possessed good class spirit and we have enjoyed his presence among us. To him we extend our sincere wish of prosperity and success in all his future enterprises. Boys’ Glee Club, Dramatic Club. ANDREW CHRISTIAN SMITH Aug. 16, 1903 Scientific Parker Street Norwich University By his complexion ye shall know him. This is the noble Swede, Sullivan’s prop and adviser. He is re- garded by some to be a famous debater and contradic- tory authority. He is a snappy dresser and wears the bright color shirts of N.-B. fame. Smith and @sumiem expect to publish a revised French Grammar with changes to suit their combined abilities. It is expected to remove many griefs for future students. Smith can play the fiddle and can accompany himself on a pickled onion. He has always taken to his studies with a mild attitude and never worries. He has scientific tendencies and we feel sure he will turn out to be successful in life. We can all boast of having enjoyed some of Smithy’s bright remarks. First Lieutenant R. O. T. C., President Tennis Club, Class Basketball 1919, Senior Dance Committee, Alpha Board.
