ALBERT HUGO DOERR Spindle October 26, 1901 New Britain, Conn. And thou nr! long and lunk and brown as the ribbed sea-sand. Doerr's six feet three was never shown to better advantage than in the wall-scaling against Stamford, when he lifted his lean and lengthy limbs and calmly walked over the wall. Spindle has been a mainstay at guard for two years. Executive Committee of Loyal Americans: Football L3Jg Track 1355 Football M33 Track g4Jg R. O. T. C.g Letter Men's Club. MARGARET TRAVER July 31, 1903 New Britain, Conn. Hr is well paid that is well satisfied. Judging by the above, Margaret must be amply rewarded, for we are sure that she takes pleasure in seeing things well done. No doubt that's why she can always afford to be pleasant and unruHled. Margaret surely has a bright future in store for her at the Boston Conservatory of Music, because of her winning personality. Civics Club. GERTRUDE MITCHELL June 3, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A good pal for all limes. Gert is one of the most popular girls in the class, with a smile for every one. She was always fond of cooking, especially at the Bassett House. Her plans for next year are undecided, altho in all probability she will study Domestic Science. Aloha Club: Secretary Household Arts Club: Program Committee, Civics Club, Y. W. A. A. DORIS DEWEY January 22, 1903 New Britain, Conn. Would some power the gffly gif' us To sec ourselves as others see us. Here she comes! Look out! Oh no, I do not mean an auto. That's just Doris Dewey trying to get to her room before the last bell rings. She is a whirlwind in everything. This has been proved by the way she swept the class on election day and came out a victorious Vice President. Her cheerful smile is so contagious that wherever she is, mischief is sure to reign.

HARRY B. BRADBURY HB1-ad!! June 1, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Of cheery disposition and imbued with the brains ofthe gods. Without a doubt, Brad is one of the best liked fellows, not only in the senior class, but thruout the whole school. Taking part in everything and working hard to make the thing a com- plete success, Brad has proved that you can work ever so much better with a cheerful smile on your face. Nothing but the best of luck to you always, Brad.

O. T. C.: Battalion Adjutantg JULIA MANN December 12, 1903 Poughkeepsie, N. Y, So wise, so young, they say, never live long. Ah! 'Tis true, fair Julia. Study not so industriously. Send thyself to lighter joys than the delight of translating Virgil or dreamily browsing thru Milt0n's L'Allegro. Aye, give thyself up to merry making and jollity or thou willst be occupying thy final six feet of real estate far, far, before thy time. Y. W. A.

Judging by the fact that Bud is always with the ladies we would like to suggest that he go to Turkey and start a harem of his own. His hobby is going to parties and dances. Although they say you can't do two things at once, parties and good times have not hindered his work in the least. We hope Bud won't take the above suggestion too seriously because we need fellows of his ability right here in New Britain. 5 GENEVIEVE BARBARA LEWICKE Vivien June 18, 1904 New Britain, Conn, She greets you kindly one and alt. Yes, that's Vivie even tho she probably has had to work a little harder than the rest of us in order to finish High School in three years. As a clever violinist, she's been a valuable member of the school orchestra. Genevieve is so chuck-full of enthusiasm that she can make any project or idea seem rosy and favorable.

RUSSELL O. ELLIOTT Russ or Val November 8, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A lion 'mortgst ladies is a most dreadful thing. Domineering, majestic, awe-inspiring, Napoleonic, master of the situation. Picture to yourself Co. C., lined in battle array, each cadet cringing neath the ominous glare and strident voice of their intrepid commander3 while the hearts of the little Freshman girls, grouped on windows, roof, fire-escapes, thump and tutter in unison. Val possesses a fatal combina- t1on3 we admit his ability as an oliicer, and he confesses to being a heart-breaker. CHence-No, gentle reader, Val is not as bad as we have painted him-he is worse.3 Camp Devens Summer Camp, 1919: Civics Club3 High School Club. WALTER GUMPRECHT Gumpy D March 9, 1902 Meriden, Conn. He hath a face like a benedictionf' Extraordinary are the accomplishments of this talented youth, actor, writer of note, musician par excellence, librarian, and chemist: but it is in the first and last that he excels. In- cluded in his repertoire are the parts of Richard III, Ophelia, Stonewall Jackson, Admiral Dewey, and the horse in Nathan Hale. In the Chem Lab., Gumpy's renown lies in his unique ability to produce entirely uncalled-for explosions, but in spite of this, he is an invaluable aid to Mr. Wessels.

As captain of the affirmative team, Bernie led his colleagues to victory over Hartford. Life for him has been one long argument which has finally culminated in a deadly feud with Mrs. Guilford.

A hardy frame, a hardier spirit. Far be it from us to sing the praises of our business manager, but suffer us to declare that for managerial ability or business- like action Sparks stands alone. He not only made possible the publication of the year book but proved a tower of strength on the football team. We hope you succeed in the future as you have in school, Sparkle Dont say anything, friends, but there is a girl-but that is Sparks's business and no one else's.
