ALBERT RAPP 'September 11, 1903 New Bfiiaiily CUYIY1 ' He wurbles Con the cornell airs whose rhapsodies shouldfeast the ears ofSeraphirns. For four long and tedious years, Rapp has knocked at the stubborn portals of Higher Knowledge, which have consistently refused to open to his demands: but patience is one of his characteristics, and we shall Hnd him still knocking at college next year. To any interested it must be explained that these words are not meant as knocks but as gentle raps. Member of Debating Club 643. ANNA JACKSON July 29, 1903 New Britain, Conn, When Robert is here I sigh with pleasure, When Robert is gone I sigh with grief Anna has not toiled much during her four years spent in agony as she says. But, then, she has passed the crisis. Anna's actions have been rather frivolous of late, but we suppose it's because she's in love. Anna's cheerful and winning ways have gained her many friends thru her High School career. Civics Club: Spanish Club: Y. W. A. A. ill 42l: Cantata t-13. MILDRED LUDDY November 22, 1902 Middletown, Conn. In each rheek a pretty dimple, L.ove hath made those hollowsf' Mildred cannot be accused of being in the dark during her high school career. Her dramatic qualities have helped her to lighten the atmosphere after school hours. Mildred startled us all by her appearance as a Vamp in one of the dramatic productions of the age. Y. W. A.

ELSA NERO December 16, 1901 New Britain, Conn Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. To be charming, that in itself, forgives a multitude of sins, but to be blessed with merits also, as Elsa is, seems almost too good to be true. Remember ye Olde Jazz Orchestra that furnished the music for our Jitney dances? Well, one of the most able participants in the band of musicians was Elsa, and what made her share all the more acceptable was her nice understanding smile which she would flash at us, when we'd jazz by.

JACOB PUTTERMAN December 11, 1901 Meriden, Conn, Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O'er books consumed the midnight oil? Jake is the personification of the Salvation Army's Motto: A man may be down but he's never out. After seven weeks of flu and scarlet fever, he returned to school where he im- mediately delivered an impassioned address on The delights of making up work. ELIZABETH PILARSKI lKBettyYY April 6, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Good nature, like a bee, collects honey from each herb. Elizabeth is the most sociable girl in our class, and is very accommodating.. We don't know much about her, except that she IS always doing something for someone else. Elizabeth has worked in the oflice of the Trade School all this year.. There must be a reason, but she doesn't tell anyone what it IS. HELEN HIBBARD July 8, 1902 New Pritain, Conn. She is pretty to walk with and witty to talk with and pleasant too, to think of. Helen has made her name both on the TrafHc Squad and as a member of the dramatic club. Thru her four years with us she has taken part in all our school activities and has done her part toward making the class of 1920 the best ever.

U Happy am I, from care I'm free, Why aren't they all contented like me? Give Sadie a book and she certainly lives up to the above motto. She believes in variety, having been transferred three times from one building to the other: but she finally decided that the Academic was the better. What's the attraction? Civics Club: Y. W. A.

ALFRED SEIBERT December 21, 1901 Berlin, Conn, The Stage I choose, a subject fair and free. l Seibert has made a name for himself and is the only man 1n High School who can rival Booth. Time after time he has changed our amateur High School plays to the rank of profes- sional productions thru his splendid acting. He is headed straight toward stardom in Griflin's productions, the only drawback being-what will become of Laura? Treasurer C233 Amphion Club. MARY DONAHUE January 19, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A little pretty, witty Miss Appearances are often deceiving. To look at Mary one would think her a sub-freshman, but you'd be surprised, for Mary is a dignihed senior. Mary's hobby is dancing in which she has great ability. Ask But! Junior Prom Decorative Committee, Civics Clubg Freshman Reception Committee. LEONA CALLEN H New Britain, Conn. y. Through her four years with us Leona has been a good sport and has added many links to her chain of friendship. She certainly never worries, but tell us Leona, about Suffield? Enough of that-she is undecided about next year, but all know she will make a success of whatever she takes up. Civics Club. February 6, 1901 I should worr CLARA PEARL GETCHELL Oh, she was good as she was fair- None, none on earth above her: As pure in though! as angels are-To know her was I0 love her. Clara Pearl came all the way from Pennsylvania via Plainville to be one of the class of 1920. She may look Very shy, butgon Class Day she had her palm read-and to our surprise, she was found hirtatious. Yes, indeed. Very sur- prising. That will never do at Normal, Clara. 22
