20 NEW BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL WINIFRED MARY BRIGGS “Winnie” February 9, 1910 R. C. Ingraham School Nelson, England Commercial Winifred is the sort of a friend that makes us glad we came to “High” because in so doing we met her. She is always willing to help and never complains like the rest of us do. ‘‘Winnie” may be English but that doesn’t hinder her from seeing the point of a joke as quickly as anyone. Furthermore she is a fine sten- ographer with nearly a half dozen typewriting pins to her credit and the man who employs her will certainly be lucky. “Norm’’ April 29, 1909 New Bedford, Mass. NORMAND BUCKLEY “Buek’’ T. R. Rodman School Scientific “Norm” is one of our star soccer players. He has been a member of the team ever since the High School recognized soccer as a major activity a few years ago. When not playing soccer “Norm” has never been known to hurry; so we sometimes have cause to wonder where he gets that dazzling speed. Color League Basketball; Soccer ’25, 726, ’27 Senior Show ’28 MABEL F. CORNELL August 28, 1909 Parker Street School Lakeville, Mass. Commercial Mabel reminds us of the saying ‘Appearances are deceiving”’. She seems like a quiet little mouse of a girl but when one gets to know her she is just as interesting as anyone else. However, silence is golden and we expect Mabel will become famous before many of us are even started on the road to success. At any rate, we wish you the best of luck, Mabel. Business

CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT BY) AMY BOWIE November 19, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. Amy may be quiet and shy, but she certainly has her ways — especially with the sailors. Amy we would like to warn you about these sailor boys, you know the saying that a sailor has a girl in every port. So just beware. future undertakings. WALTER BIENIA Walt’ September 16, 1909 Abraham Lincoln School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial Walter is calm and innocent-looking enough on the surface but he may be depended upon to liven up the dullest class and make life miserable for the teacher. We are not sure whether he holds the record for being spoken to in class, but at any rate he comes quite near to it. Whatever the future may have in store for him we hope he may be successful. Clarence A. Cook School Normal The best of success in all your Cushing BENJAMIN BERKOWITZ “Ben” August 6, 1910 J. B. Congdon School New Bedford, Mass. Scientific Cicero, himself, can hardly be compared with our “Ben,” for he is our class debater. ‘“‘Ben’s” favorite pastime is arguing with the teachers not to mention hobbling around on crutches. We wonder how it all really happened. Be good, ‘‘Ben’’, but stay away from women. “And all the world took notice when he spoke.”’ Dramatic Club; Debating Society; 8’s Interclass Debater First Prize in Freshman Prize Speaking Contest Dartmouth

CLASS OF JANUARY NINETEEN TWENTY-EIGHT 23 ABRAM DAMON SoA be” January 18, 1910 New Bedford, Mass. Damon is a quiet reserved boy whom we have never really discovered. He and “Jimmy” are great pals and are invariably seen together. The old adage “It is better to be seen than to be heard” seems to be Damon’s precept, but he is a fine fellow once you really know him. iPreayelke RAS DORA DAVIS oT) Ove May 29, 1909 Clarence A. Cook School New Bedford, Mass. Commercial Dora is rather quiet and we hardly know when she is around but still we are glad to have her with us and we shall miss her when we all start out into the cruel world. We think that Dora had a great deal rather dance than bother with her homelessons. Is this true Dora? Don’t forget us, will you? Glee Club; Senior Minstrels Katherine Gibbs T. R. Rodman School Scientific PAULINE DESJARDINS July 28, 1908 B. B. Winslow School New Bedford, Mass. College Stately and dignified is the only fitting way in which to describe Pauline. She is an accomplished violin player and we have thor- oughly enjoyed her many concerts. We shall expect to hear from her in a few years taking her rightful place among the artists of the world.
