GEORGE LESLIE CARRICK made a great hit in the ntinstrel show this year and he also showed his ahility in the dramatic line in the play given hy the llramatic Cluh, entitled A Class Day Conspiracy, George has a line bass voice and so is a friend of Miss XVoodman's. I guess that the only thing that hores George Leslie is his Eng- lish and he can frequently he caught asleep and has to he re- minded of his place and position XVe all wish him great success in his Clark College career, hut we must warn him to keep awake in class. XVe hope to see him a niemher of the famous tilee Cluh, St-est thou a man wise in his own conceit. IJOROTIIY CARY. Hot is one of the husiest girls among us, though just what she ever really accomplishes no one can tell. Easily ex- cited, she is generally just as easily cooled otl. Can talk as fast as iit'l'lI'llClt', and thats going some. .X great lover of dogs, she is hardly ever seen without her l't-ggyf' QX staunch friend, sllt' is well liked hy all her classmates. lN'lairlens should he mild and meek Swift Io hear and slow to speak, l'I'l'l I lil, lCI.l.,iX Cl IASIC .Xll young lilflies should pattern after Miss Chase, for the heigltt of her :nnhition is simply to he good. She is a loyal friend on all occasions, has a genial manner and a ready wit. lfrivolity is not in her line, W'hile she has heen in lligh School she has heconie quite proficient in many lines, heing a star in hliss Vinal's lfrench Class and as much of a star in lfnglish. XVe think she must have :1 strong liking for W'oonsocket, her native town, for the minute school lets out for vacation, lithel grahs her hag and runs for the R. I. train. A Something so shy, it would shame it to make it a show. EDITH CLOUG H. Edith came from Lewiston, Maine, She is a good, conscien- tious, hard-working scholar and never was known to have a mark helow A. XVith all her powers of understanding and reasoning, of ability and genius, that faculty of the mind hy which she receives or forms ideas cannot fathom the meaning of fusser. Generally speaking-Edith is generally speaking, VVhile in high school she has acquired a singular fondness for drawing. She expects to enter the Boston Art School and as she is a dili- gent student may success attend her efforts, She stayed at home and spun. 42

HELEN LOUT SE BR.-XY This silent. hard-working young lady came from North Grafton. She has seen nineteen years of life and she has as- siduously digested all the learning that has passed her way in that time. She has distinguished herself in our class by her most profound silence and by the fact that she says something Worth saying when she says anything at all. She has that rare gift of being constantly and naturally herself and her peaceful and meditative repose is envied by most girls in the class. A girl of modesty and repose, of thought and learning. 'iShe found wayward pleasure In the hallowed paths of toil. JANET VVINIFRED BRIGGS Jane is an ardent admirer of all that is brown. Brown suits, brown neckties, brown shoes, Brown College and its in- mates. Even lie, the Brown inmate, has brown hair and we are told that she keeps the brown-haired Brown boys, billet- deux tied up with a brown ribbon. lane has a very gentle, firm, strong manner, Is very modest and has filled the place of vice-president of the senior class successfully, but there is one fault in this worthy young lady. She persists in fussing Mr. Deveneau, who is charmed to think she would pay atten- tion to him. Janet will be at home after Sept. 1, 1908. She has more goodness in her little linger than others have in their whole bodies. VVALTER VVTLLTAM S BROWN. VValter is a specimen of the massive minds turned out year- ly at South High School, He is a tall, slim, meek-looking lad, never to be seen without a book in his handg shy, bashful and re- tiring: not at all familiar with the ladies and rather distant with the fellows. For the past few summers VValter has been en- gineering it, He hopes to enter Tech to carry on this hobby of his engineering. lfVe hope that this nervous lad before going out into the cold unsympathetic world will change and show a masterful manly spirit. They trust him as men trust quiet men. ALICE CECELIA BURKE. Alice is a little, short, stout girl, with light hair and big blue eyes. She was the star pupil in the botany class her Junior year, and fish, worms and lobsters were her delight her Fresh- man year. She is rather a desirable young Miss, and is never afraid to express her mind freely, even sometimes when she is not asked to do it. She is still debating whether or not matri- mony or more learning will be her next step. Don't you remember sweet Alice? 41

HELEN FRANCES CONNOLLY Helen was born in Vtlorcester at an innocent little age, but since coming to S. H. S. has out-grown the innocent part of it. She is a firm believer and strong supporter of woman's rights, and the arguments she and Mr, Cole have almost every day on this subject generally end up with he is made up of pure cus- sednessu tmeaning Mr. Coleb. She is one of those fortunate individuals possessed of a sunny disposition, nothing seems to trouble her but the woman's right subject, and the ease with which she expresses her sudden emotion in History class is little short of marvelous, Thy How of words is excellent. JAMES CUNNINGHAM James or Cunny as he is more often called, is the cain- raiser of '08. Holds the record for the greatest number of trips to Mr. NVoodward, and would have his present record dou- bled had he been to see our principal every time he has been told to make this little pilgrimage. A firm believer in horse- trots or in fact of any kind of a trot. Fresh as the month of May. GERTRUDE DARLlNG Trude's four years in high school have not been unevent- ful, even if she has spent much time in the faithful prepara- tion of her daily tasks. She has been vice-president of our class three years and has proved herself a good worker in the Dra- matic Club. Much of the success of some of the plays have been due to her efforts. Of late she has been having bad dreams, ugly dreams, sweet dreams and even romantic dreams. In one of these nightly attacks she Ucried her heart away in Mr. Bench- ley's arms and ever since poor Trude has been without a heart, She has always been a popular girl. Such a maximum of glee and such a minimum of mischief in her mirth. FLORENCE MYRA DAVIS Florence is the fair-haired, blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked member of the twins,- A regular hurricane in petticoatsf' It looked at one time as though her name might be Dennis, but now it's all off. She does not seem to like her own class pin very well.-red seems more to her taste, even red hair was her fancy a short time ago, She has been a member of the Dramatic Club four years and is an assistant editor of this book. Mr. Wood- ward's Move on or Don't let me see you two talking to- gether in the corridors again, has been the cause of Florence and a second party meeting at the much desired drug store, Ask her who her Kalumet Club pin belongs to? I have lived and lovedf 43
