ELBERT V. ADAMS Diz — Eva Taunton Hie ' h, Mass. Phi Psi General Cotton E. V. will try anything once — bar nothing. Hence the name Diz , a name that fits him as an oyster does a stew. He knows every female in the city by her first name. Every instructor knows that he is a reliable worker. His marks have always soared, especially in Cooler class where he rivals Munsell himself, and when he leaves N. B. T. S. you can be sure no grass will grow under his feet. Good luck Diz, Duff ' s Hall will miss you. Franklin, Mass. Rehabilitation HILMER H. ANDERSON Andy Delta Kappa Phi General Cotton Andy is a good natured sort of fellow and his location can always be found by following the sound of his laugh. The reason for these outbursts of hilarity is unknown, although we think the stories Charlie tells him has something to do with it. Andy underwent the usual razzing which always occurs when one of the bunch loses his mind and tells the parson I hope to tell you I do. We don ' t know how he will get along without Charlie when he leaves school, but we ' ll take a chance.

Many a long hour was whiled away with Mr. Yates in Switzerland. It was late in February that the whole faculty got in had with the innocent ones by handing them printed sheets bearing the heading Mid- years Exam Practically everyone, however, managed to survive. Soon spring came, and many a man was tempted into seeing how many cuts he could take without getting his feet wet. With June came to the Final Exams and the summer vacation. Right here several ex-freshmen got their first real blow. Having served one year of their sentence at N. B. T. S., they expected to be in great demand throughout the country as overseers and second-hands. However, after two weeks work they gazed with horror at their pay-checks which bore the titles oiler, waste-man or spare-hand. The summer soon passed and the gang collected at the school once more. It was not long before they were in the middle of such simple subjects as double-cloth and dyeing. The gentle art of re-as- sembling a steam boiler after it has once blown up was also drilled into their none-too-thin skulls. They soon found that the second year work was no joke. Many new tricks were learned as time wore on— among which was the fact that if due care were used, a coffin-nail might be effectively driven at exactly 10 :30 every morning. As the summer vacation neared, most everyone was secretly glad that jobs were hard to get, al- though ' jack is needed to go on a two-months ' bat. Once more the learned bunch collected, this time on their final stretch. It was surprising how quickly time passed. Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went like a package of butts in front of school. Before they knew it. the class of 1922 w r as through with the old N. B. T. S. and ready to do up the world.

ALLAN BESSE Al ' airhaven High. Mass. General Cotton Eootball (1, 3 — Captain 3) The first thing everybody thinks of when Al ' s name is mentioned seems to ' S he the Draw Bridge. We think it is his good looks that has made it possible for him to offer the same excuse for lateness during the past three years. Al isn ' t always offering excuses for his work on the football field is such that nothing but praise can be heard when Besse ' s name is mentioned. Al is a first class designer and his work with Mr. Holt indicates success along this line. EDWARD L. BESSE, JR. Ed Eairhaven High. Mass. General Cotton Here is one of the original settlers of Poverty Point in Oxford. Ed is built so far from the sidewalk that if he fell down he ' d be half way home. How- ever, he is a great booster for O ' Sullivan ' s Rubber Heels as in all his three years of walking the Fairhaven Bridge he has never felt the jar. But the Union Street Railway has. We expect Ed to make a good mill man as he has plenty of patience and works hard and trusts nobodv.
