Handsome Harry july 12, 1916 Handsome is as handsome does Better known as Handsome Harry , he is an ambitious student and is not a person who will shrink away from work. He is an honest and trustworthy person. Although he was not a member of the High School athletic teams, he is very much interested in most forms of athletics and is a good sport. ln our estimation, he will be a prominent and successful business man in the future. ELEANOR ANNA HANSON New Britain, Conn, El April 19, 1916 The Present Fashion Is Always Handsome E1ly's our walking fashion plate. No need to go to Paris to see the latest creations as long as Elly is with us. We wonder what Dot Barnes would do without her. Find one, and the other is sure to be around somewhere. Vv'ho's the neat-looking young man, Elly? Dont you Fink We Known? Phi Sigmag Chairman lvlotto Committee, Girls' League. EDWARD LUKE DRINKWIN New Britain, Conn. i'Drinkey September 10, 1915 And then he started like a guilty thing, upon a fearful summonsfto the ojicen Drinkey isjust one of those poor unfortunate ones who have the natural aptitude for doing the right thing at the wrong time, Hardly a day goes by without i'Drinkey being called upon to explain some irregularity-tardiness, absence without cause, or the belated return ofa report card. lhe recent ruling of the administration that neighboring stores should not be visited between periods does not affect i'Drinkey because he procures his refreshments during periods. FLORENCE MYERS DUCH New Britain, Conn. Duke October 20, 1915 Number, Please Who doesn't know Florence! lf you dont, just visit the office and see her working as our future telephone operator. Duke always has a smile for everyone including the boys. lf she doesn't get along in this world--who will' lf she doesn't turn out to be a telephone operator she will be our future costume designer. Well! Good luck, Florence, we hope you succeed, Senior Club, Representative Girls' League. ANN MARY DEUTSCH lvlilwaukee, Wisconsin Ann March 12, 1913 'il cannot tell thee when we meet what most I long to say Ann is a very talkative girl but she always seems to find walking listeners. She likes variety. Ann's a nice dresser, in fact, she always looks as though she just stepped out of a i'Band-box . She goes in for sports in a big way, especially loyal rooting. l-ler next stop is Massachusetts General Hospital. We all know her patients will just die of happiness. I 93 4 Page Seventeen

One day he's happy, another time he's blue, but we've all noticed he never fails to have an argument. W'e honestly believe he'd talk you into believing black was white if he so We nearly lost our beloved C71 debater because he thought studying English wasn't necessary, but, for once, someone else must have won the argument for he's still with us. Good luck. VIRGINIA LOUISE FAGAN New Britain, Conn. Gin january 5, 1916 Humility is the foundation of all virtue Although Virginia is one of the quiet girls of our class, she is a clever one too! She has made a success of life at New Britain High School, Her next stop is Connecticut Teachers College and we hope she will SERGE DANKEVITCH Buffalo, N. Y. Cheesy September 18, 1915 'The last laughter is always the best one yet Serge is as much an institution at N. B. H. S, as Mr. Bo11man's waste basket, non-tardy passes, or the Girls' League. For three years he has kept us in laughter and drowned all our blues with his vocalisms, piano playing, and imitation of MPopeye . He certainly can play the piano and compose music. We all heard him play his own com- 'iCheesy certainly knows his Greek and Latin and what else? And what a hit he made Class Night! Vife know you'll never lack jokes and we hope you'11 be a successful Paderewski or Chopin in the near future. You have our heartiest wishes, Cheesy . VIRGINIA ANN DAVIS Pittsfield, Mass, Ginny August 26, 1916 She is possessed with thoughts of the kitchen Virginia is the girl who must love history-taking two Civics for this year and doing supplementary in history from last Semester, We remember her as the girl who always had a little something she made in cooking to make our mouths water at noon with the smell. We hope she makes as good a nurse as she does a cook. Representative Girls' Leagueg Senior Club, Class Vifill. LUCILLE ANN GIROLAMO lvliddlefleld, Conn, Bobs Augu Thou weft my guide, philosopher, and friend Lucille is our dark-haired right hand helper. Lucy seems to have the knack of comforting everyone. If you want to know your mark on an examjust ask her, We don't know how she does it, but she'll tell you every time. Dont ever get in an argument about the N. R. A. or C. W.

Ruthie March 29, 1915 Though the power be lacking, The will is nevertheless praiseworthyn 'iRuthie is considered the most popular girl in High School. lf its not i'Bob Ferry it's Swede Carlson, She is always so busy with her church plays and Girl Scout duties that she has no time for her constant admirers. Ruth is going to Storrs, we hope shell be just as popular there, She is very mysterious. Ask her who shes taking to the Prom and axe rwill say l'm not telling yet . We all wish you the best of luck, ut . WILLIAM FRANCIS CONWAY New Britain, Conn. UBill August 15, 1915 Time will Tell We haven't much to tell about Bill for we neither hear nor see a great deal of him. However, we have learned that he's very conscientious and does his work well. Bills a rather quiet person, at least in school, Hes quite good looking-so the girls say. This simply proves you don't have to be a young Lochinvar to attract some peoples attention. Heres hoping, Bill. IRMA ERICKSON New Britain, Conn. April 8, l9lo Sing us now a lender song lrma is the girl with the beautiful soprano voice. She takes vocal lessons and we are sure that some day she'll be a great opera singer. She wanted to be a nurse at one time but she has decided to be a lady of leisure at least until she becomes famous and her public won't allow her a minute to herself. Still again Irma would also make a good dressmaker. She has a charming personality and is great fun because she never loses her temper, Everyone is a friend to lrma. She enjoys all sports including swimming, golf, and tennis. Phi Sigma. RUTH BERTHA GRAMITT New Britain, Conn. l'Rudi March 20, l9l5 'Good service is a great enchantment Ruth is a very likeable person because she does not find it hard to smile. She plans to enter the nursing field and we are sure that she will have great inHuence on her patients. ln school she was studious and tried to do her work to her best ability. One thing she perhaps will never forget in school is the Chemistry tests in room 46. GERTRUDE LILLIAN GOLD Hartford, Conn. Goldie january 7, 1916 She was dressed in simple taste Goldie is the girl we all know and there's no need to wonder why, for no matter where you go Goldie is around somewhere. Goldies quite a dresser too, Everyone envies her when she wears that fur coat of hers. ln reality she's quite good looking with black curly hair, dark eyes, and cheery smile. We hear she likes stenography UD. She's sure to be a success where- ever she goes. Girls' League, Phi Delta. ltilwfiiiitfg 9 3 4 Page Eighteen
