NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL 21 RY Poona iP SON SOULE March 31, 1904 General Jireh Swift Dr. Truesdale’s Hospital Her eyes have stunned many a young man and who wouldn’t have her for a nurse, such gentle and taking ways are hers. Even though she is from the country she has those city ways and can dance the popular fling and vamp away the lazy hours. She can shine in her studies when she wants to without any great effort, same as captivating young men’s affections. I truly believe its an art of the Soul-e-? Or else, her dainty com- plexion is to blame. She is one of the supporting night- ingales of the Girls’ Glee Club and displays her falsetto when she enters an argument in the class room. Ruth is always a jolly sport and we feel sure she will bring relief to her.patients. Bye-by Nurse-e-e. Girls’ Glee Club. ALMA TRIPP Aug. 17, 1904 Commercial Westport One of the favorites of the Commercial course is this little miss who hails from the country, the land of peace and bliss. She keeps much of her which makes it difficult to characterize her. Now and then she frolics about but she is mostly busied with les- sons. During her stay with us she has attained a re- JOHN BERNARD SULLIVAN July 23, 1903 College Holy Name University of Vermont You're now facing the speed king of Essex-dom. When wings come out for automobiles Sullivan will be first to try them. Sullivan runs over his lessons but once, ’nough said, lies back in his altruistic soup con- tainer and lets her off to ‘the tune of sixty sneezes an hour, whispering his lessons to himself and forgetting them on the swift-sweeping breezes to recall them again in the classroom. That Sullivan admires the weaker sex nobody doubts, for his house parties were the spice of the season’s events and the jolly good times—Hot Dog! 1 had better cease for a roof is a poor place to tell you secrets, there might be some eaves dropping. Sullivan’s hobby is French argumentation in English, much to Mr. Dupin’s dislike. Sullivan has undoubtedly proven one of the sports of the school and has indulged in considerable athletics. We all extend to him our best wishes in future enterprises and may he overcome ob- stacles as easily in life as he does on the road. Tennis Club 1921, Football 1,920-’21, Captain R. O. T.

Our good wishes accompany you into life’s great tasks.

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.

22 RED AND WHITE MARY ELIZABETH TRIPP July 1, 1905 Commercial Westport Business This is Bessie of Commercial renown, just sixteen, not counting the bad winters and hard falls. She also comes from the country like her little sister Alma, and lucky be the farmer lad that cops either of them. They seem so quiet and tame but you never can tell about those country belles. They say she is a high rater in her class for she can be seen holding a card with several A’s when the shingles turn their quarterly cycle. She has proven one of the most faithful and deserves our sin- cere wishes long after she has left us. MILDRED WILBUR June 26, 1904 Commercial Parckersotreet Business The Commercial Course can boast of another honor pupil in the person of Miss M. Wilbur who came from that well known school, old Parker Street. For four long years with untiring efforts she attatned the credit which entitles her to one of the highest places in the efficiency of our class. We congratulate Miss Wilbur for this fine record set down for those coming after- wards and we feel sure she will be successful in the werld because she has proven faithful to her tasks under the direction of her teachers. Essayist. MAURICE SIMON PORTNOY June 18, 1903 College H. M. Knowlton Tuft’s College Though he is last he is not least in our estimate. No doubt Maurice found his High School life hard for he had to work after school, but by courage and determina- tion he made it and reaps the reward of his efforts. He hopes to be a doctor some day if things come his way. He hates to have the ladies tease him and when the fel- lows make fun he usually begins to feel better before the other guy does. At several instances he has shown socialistic tendencies merely to excite arguments for he loves to debate. Sometime in the near future not long after father’s wooden leg has turned to sawdust and mother sleeps better since father washed his other foot, his nobleness, Maurice Portnoy, will hang up his shingle as a registered medicine man.
