EDWARD J. OWEN ileptember 24, 1901 Springfield, Mass- Linked sweetness, lung drawn out. 'Tis true. Eddie is about the longest thing on the skyline when standing erect. As a soldier he has been unsurpassed and because of his merits was awarded the position of Major. His name shall go down in the annals of the school as the first soldier to dance to a funeral march.

BERNADOTTE ANNA CONLIN May 7, 1902 New Britain, Conn. I don't bother work and work don'l bolher me. Although Bern doesn't crave work, she surely adores an afternoon tete a tete. Bern is said to be somewhat-yea, until you know her. Bernadotte is one who takes life easy, but by her generous nature she has made many friends who see success for her in the future. Y. W. A. A.3 Civics Clubg Aloha Club: Junior Prom Committee. VICTORIA ADAMS July 7, 1902 Uromia, Persia O,Hiviaus, innocent, sincere. Victoria is surely one of our senior girls and is very enthus- iastic in all that she undertakes. She has proved to be an excellent student and a credit to the school. Victoria being always good-natured will never be refused a welcome. RUTH H. ANDERSON lKRum'elY July 1, 1903 Kensington, Conn. Doubtless she stood before the mullitude And spoke words ne'er heard before. A philosopher of the first magnitude. Quiet on the out- side but within, streams of thought rush to and fro. Those who have had the privilege of hearing her in the seclusion of Room 21, where she discusses the different subjects, feel sure that she will make good in whatever she does. She is jolly, good company wherever you meet her. Household Arts Club. 25

CLIFFORD FRANCES MURPHY December 30, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Let's make merry today and let tomorrow come as it will. Every word in the above quotation applies to Murph in its true sense. He believes in looking on the bright side of life all the time. We think his hobby is strolling up to the North End of the town Sunday nights-we wonder why? GENEVIEVE HAMILTON HGenl! October 21, 1903 Baltimore, Md. Given lo Hospitality. Yes, Gen surely has plenty of common sense and a good disposition to go with it. She is one of our quiet girls, but have you ever seen Gen when she didn't have a smile for you and was not ready to have a jolly good time? We all wish her the very best of good wishes for her future. MARY FEORE March 14, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A slenographer of no mean ability. Mary has made a specialty of stenography and has used it extensively in Civics. We wish we could find out how she does it. Outside of stenography she shines in Commercial Law under Professor J. C. Moody. Civics Clubg Athletic Association. MABEL O'MEARA February 11, 1900 New Britain, Conn. I am sure care's an enemy to life. Mabel believes in the old saying, Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you. School seems to be the least of her troubles. Mabel certainly does not worry about getting to school-arriving any time before 9.30 suits her perfectly. We are glad she belongs to the class of 1920 and know she will be a success at office work next year. 24

ELLIOT ANDREWS NOV9mb9r 13, 1899 New Britain, Conn. You may relish him more in the soldier than in the scholar. Andrews left '19 in the fall of 1917 and was sent to Texas with an aviation outfit where he was a Windjammer for three months. He returned to '20 February 1919 and has since led a comparatively simple life, interrupted only by little alterca- tions with Captain Dunne, and by Henrietta's frequent refusals to start on cold mornings. He also was a participant in the world war. Amphion Club f4lS Nathan Hale, Honorable Discharge from U. S. Ser- siceg Army 1917-1919. HELEN D. CONNOLLY July 19, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Kindliness is next to Godlinessf' Throughout her school career Helen has been an honest worker, and one of the heavy thinkers of the class. She has proven this by being capable of attending High School during her Senior year, but half day. Helen, though sometimes quiet, is a jolly and true comrade. She will make a great success of her work at Baypath Institute for she has an energetic nature. Y. W. A. A., Aloha Club. ELEANOR MILDRED BEHNKE asBing!r February 3, 1902 New Britain, Conn. In teaching a child, think of its old age. We know you don't even need that suggestion, Bing, for you have excelled in all your work here at High. Mr. Han- cock knows that, too, by the applauding smiles and praises he has passed upon your written theme work. The best of good wishes at Normal, Bing, Y. W. A. A. 4255 Aloha 121. GRACE DOHERTY Whizzie Januafy 9, 1901 New Britain, Conn. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Grace is a good natured girl, likes her good times and usually gets them. As a motor driver, she surpasses us all. Those who doubt these words, should gaze upon this jovial person, whom her friends all call Whizzie, when she shifts in that Studebaker. Whizzie says her hobby is dancing, but we think she prefers the open air, so here's to a happy, healthy future. Civics Club, Y. W. A. A., Aloha Club, Dramatics Club. 26
