WILFRED WALCOTT Glwalli! July 22, 1903 New London, Conn Walcott is an exponent of the theory that sixth periods do not aid students to learn French, for he might have been seen in Room 18 any night after school, but the next day he needed another special appointment. However, these weighty cares did not tend to lessen his good humor, and he was never known to become enraged, except at the donator of his sixth periods, High School Club: Debating Club: Swimming Team: Track. MABEL HULTGREN January 5, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Walking in health and in gladness, with never a look of sadness. This verse must have been written expressly for Mabel, for who can read it without immediately picturing her happy, rosy face? Her spontaneous laugh has become famous and likeable, because of the many dull classes it has relieved. Within the fair form which is Mabel's there is lodged a mighty mlnd which excels at producing excellent material for themes. Basketball: Aloha Club: Civics Club. FRANK SULLIVAN January 26, 1901 New Britain, Conn. Oh Civics, where is thy sting? When the school has grown old and stained with the marks of time: when water breaks all records of nature and runs up hill: when Mr. Moody ceases to be a real good sportgstill will Sully remain one of the best liked fellows in the class. Sul used to say, A car, a car, my kingdom for a girl. Now he's got a car and a different member of the fair sex every night in the week. Remember the night we took the fence down with the new boat, Sul?

BEATRICE REYNAL March 28, 1902 New Britain, Conn- As merry as the day is long. u She is jolly in school, She's merry at home, But she's happier still When to the 'movies' she roams. Fair, fat, but hardly forty, Bea radiates cheerfulness thru the school- h h ' h l w en s es t ere. Hartford must 'have some at- traction for her as she spends a lot of her time there. She is going to enter Bradford next year. Treasurer of Aloha: Y. W. A. A.: Basketball: Progress and Efficiency Committee: Spanish Club: Civics Club. 27

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

BOLESANIA GRYSBOWSKI June 11- 1901 New Britain, Conn. I'd rather sit on a pumpkin all to myself, than to be crowded an a velvet cushion. Frivoloties hold no sway over Bolo because he's a quiet, studious, hard working student. Whole hearted devotion to that which he has undertaken has won him the admiration of his classmates. He is an ambitious young man and is highly regarded by his teachers. B,k,TrafTic Force: Debating Club, Civics Club: President of Traders Bank g. MARJORIE SENF November 21, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A pleasant occupation of the mind-day dreaming. Marj. impresses one as being a quiet unobtrusive girl, but in reality she is full of fun and a good sport. She is a very likeable girl and always considerate of other peoples feelings. These qualifications win many friends for Marjorie. Trafiicg Aloha Clubg Spanish Literary Club. LEONA LEWIS April 20, 1903 Southington, Conn. Modest and shy as a kitten There are always a few shy ones who do not take part in the different activities of the school, but they are the ones who back up the school. Leona is such, always quiet but cheerful and kind to all. Household Arts. HELEN RACKLIFFE February 3, 1902 New Britain, Conn. I'm glad I'm alive. A fair blond is this girl, with a smile that lights up 'the whole atmosphere whenever it appears. Helen loves a good time and for that matter, she always has one, for everybody loves a cheerful personage, and Helen, being the same, is a friend to all. Long may she wave.
