. 1 E r A Page Nineteen KATHERINE E. DENCE “A true friend is forever a friend.” — MacDonald. “Katie” is a dimpled good-natured girl of medium height, who has been with us for five short years. She is as kind hearted as she is witty and is a good friend to all who know her. Her name has been on the honor role a number of times, which proves that she tries to learn and succeeds in doing so. She has been an active member of the gym class where she has made a name for herself with her good work there. She has always fought her battles with a smile and so far has been the winner. Keep on, “Katie,” the road to success is long, and we wish you luck. RAYMOND J. DOYLE “Actions speak louder than words.” Do you know Ray? If not, where have you been ? But on second thought there are a few people who don’t follow football — and since Ray was quiet in a superlative degree, per- haps a word or two will not be amiss. In his senior year Ray was elected a member of the executive committee of his class — and the success of the various projects undertaken by the class reflect not a little of the quiet but effective assistance rendered by Ray. But did we mention football ? Ah, yes! That was Ray’s forte. He played tackle — and he could tackle — and in bidding him adieu, we express the sincere hope that he’ll tackle and tackle hard the problems that lie ahead. LOUIS DUBOWICZ “His worth is warrant for his welcome.” — Shakespeare. When we meet “Louis” on the street we are always glad to see him, for there is a spirit of friendship in his greeting. This is what we mean by his introductory motto. His smile and handclasp certainly mean a lot to us. He is not one of the honor students, but he has always given a good ac- count of himself wherever he had the inclination to do so. To bask in “Louie’s” smile, is a pleasant sensa- tion which we have experienced dur- ing his term with us. Equipped to sail the troubled waters of life as he is, we can see that he will venture forth on the sea with good fortune.

Paste Eisthteen META GEORGE F. DAWE He was the chap who made things hum. ' — Morris. One of the most popular and effi- cient members of our class, George has won our respect and admiration. In his junior year he was treasurer of his class and was awarded the Har- vard Book prize for excellence in character. The financial success of the Observer in his senior year was due largely to his efforts as business man- ager. During his entire course, George has maintained a high scholastic- standing, his name often appearing on the honor roll. Kind hearted and cheerful, George is a person in whom we find good natui’e and ability well blended. H ' s future, we feel sure, will reflect credit upon himself and upon his Alma Mater. JAMES D. DEE Suit the action to the word, the word to the action. — Shakespeare. “Jimmy,” merely his nickname, is another one of the quiet but capable members of our class. He is a true sport and a loyal friend to all who know him, thus being a favorite with his teachers and his classmates. We could usually see him cheering and swinging his arms at a football game, and are of the belief that his excite- ment put the “pep” into our boys. Jimmy has been with us for five years and has done very well in his work, which consisted of several technical studies. In parting, we can only hope that he will continue to be a success in all that he undertakes. LOUIS DE LUCCA “Good humor is the health of the soul.” — Stanislaus. Louis, or “Red” as we know him more familiarly, is a jovial and modest young man with an unbounded supply of optimism and enthusiasm. “Red,” we are glad to say, is not inflated with a sense of ego nor has he a superiority complex in his make up. Tanned by the wind and sun in his labors on Har- rington’s farm, with a luxuriant crop of auburn tresses adorning his noble brow, “Red,” is a picturesque example of “flaming youth.” Louis plans to enter Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege and take up a comprehensive study of scientific farming and fer- tilization. May the flowing sands of Time gratify his desires.

Page Twenty META BERNARD C. DULLEA “I wouM be friends with you. and have your love.” — Shakespeare. Here is a member who is both scholarly and athletic. His work as a scholar has indeed been gratifying to teachers and students alike. During his senior year his name appeared on the honor roll each time. You appre- ciate him still further upon closer ac- quaintanceship when you bask in his smiles and laugh at his quips. As an athlete, he holds the esteem of every- body in the school. He played the tackle position on the football team and was certainly “there.” A close observer would have noticed the cheery countenance of our hero as he engaged in battle. We understand that “Duke” intends to matriculate at N. H. University and needless to say we’re sending him our best wishes for success. R. IRENE DURKEE So runs my catalogue of lovely things.” With regret we say “farewell” to Irene, for her qualities marked by cleverness, intelligence and alertness are prominent. But in another sense, we are proud to send her out as an alumna of our Alma Mater. Her sin- cerity of purpose has gained for her a place in the esteem of her co-work- ers; her alertness, a place in the memory of her instructors. As Irene was not self-interested, she uncon- sciously gained popularity. Although always in a hurry, she could always find time to speak a pleasant word or bestow a brightening smile. “Best wishes, Irene.” MARY H. DWYER Either I will find a way or make one.” Does anyone need an introduction to Mary? Although she has been with us only two years, she has suc- ceeded in becoming one of our class officers. The fact that she was elected secretary of the Senior Class, is in itself proof of her popularity. She was always prominent in school ac- tivities, dancing being her chief in- terest. Mary was always a lover of books, although her tastes did not in- clude over-indulgence in study. She always had a ready repartee, which, with her quick wit and kindness, will aid her in the making of friends in the future.
