KI ARGUERITE HELEN HUGO Marguerite is one of our few hlondes and is no relation to Yictor the First. She is a direct contradiction to the claim that this climate is a destroyer of the light-haired. Born in XYorccster, April 24. 18510, she has always lived here. Quiet and retiring, she hardly ever speaks unless spoken to. In lessons she is fair. always getting her assignment, hut never making a reci- tation that could be called hrilliant as could some of those of Geo. No. ll. Has many good qualities, and is well liked hy us all. A fine frenzy of hlushesf' MUNA JACKSON liorn in XVesthoro, Nlass., Sept. ti, 1890. A girl who has lately acquired that most tiresome, and hothersome of all ac- quisitiims-whispering. She is now tied for second place with Nlary K, for the greatest number of whispers per second. tOf course Gertrude holds tirstl. liasily the most nervous moving girl among ns. Can he told a mile otf hy her peculiar nervous jerk of the head when talking. If you do not know her, keep your eyes open for the girl with the pronounced pttcker of the mouth. 'I'hat's lX'lona's pucker. NVell up in her lessons, she in- tends to study music. XVell-ineaning, whole-hearted and accom' modating, she is a girl whose good qualities we all appreciate. Observe my ease of tnanner, .Xnd match me if you can. JOHN Cill.I.IiSI'lli JlCl l lCRlJS, JR. John is one of our late acquisitions, coming from the famous town of .Xul1urn. From our year's observation it is easy to see that he is not likely to die within the next year or so, at least, of overwork. ln spite of the fact that he was horn in the hus- tling Heart of the Commonwealth on the sixth of July, 1889, he has not acquired the desire for hard work that is so preva- lent among us KU ls well liked hy the class and very often 1'aises a laugh hy his stage whispers during a test. Kind-hearted and generous, he is willing at all times to do one a good turn. ls particularly fatned for his hahitual non-attention to anything that has the name lesson attached. Motto: I'll study tomorrow. RUBY WINNIFRED JONES Ruby joined us last year for which addition to our class we felt duely grateful, for it showed that some people have good taste. Light haired t?J red-cheeked GJ you can recognize her anytime by her exquisite poise. Not as yet popular, she would like to be, as any fellow at school knows. The more, the merrierf' 52

MINNA FRANCISCA HOLL She is one of those quiet girls whose fair complexions are often disturbed by those big red patches, called blushes. For men, men, humbugging men she cares nothing. No one can trim her in being jolly and witty and she knows no greater lux- ury than that of thinking well of her fellowmen. Her morals have been declared particularly correct by those who are judges. She has never done anything very alarming during her four years in High School, but her drawings ought to be criticized as being on top. A girl who is original in the greatest sense of the word. 'WVO ist das deutche Vaterland? INEZ BELLE HGLMES Born in Wo1'cester, Nov. 18, 1889. Inez has been with us for four years. Although not widely known, she is popular among her acquaintances. A short time ago it looked-if indi- cations count-as if she would in due time join the already numerous family of Smithg but alas for her chances there: she has taken a Steeltej contract which keeps her pretty busy. Pleasant of face, she is just as pleasant to meet. Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit. EDITH ELIZABETH HOVVARD Edith joined us during the Sophomore year, and since that time, except in the class-room, we have seen very little of her. She has the art of keeping by herself more, perhaps, than any other person in the class. From observations taken at a dis- tance, we think her to be more diftident than reclusive, and re- gret that she should not have been able to participate in our many good times. Gently comes the world to those That are cast in gentle mould, GRACE CAROLYN HUBBARD Wiorcester has been her home since she was born here. May 28, 1890. At an early age she showed ability in music, and although not one to display her talent, is known as a good musi- cian among us, as can be seen by her election as pianist. Grace is well liked by those who know her, especially by the boys. In those studies she likes she is brilliant, but those on the dislike list are too many for her to ever realize high honors as a stu- dent, Always pleasant and ready for a good time, she may well be counted as popular among us. 'I'imid and stepping fast. 51

LILLIAN IRENE KING Lillian is one of the hard workers of the class and certainly deserves the good marks which her report shows. Of retiring disposition, she has never made her list of friends in the class a large one. Always quietg even when noise might be in order. Is a great pedestrian, walking to school each morning, in spite of the distance lying between her home and South High. She aims to go to Mt. Holyoke and the class wish her the best of success there. A good companion and as firm a friend. LILLIAN KNOWLES Lillian entered high school four long years ago, with the class of 1908, and she, likes old South so well she thinks she'll come back another year. She is a girl of mirth and fun, yet quiet and meditative. She has many friends among teachers and scholars. If you don't know her, watch out for the well- dressed young lady who walks the corridors with Misses Mc- Innes, Morley, Hoeftmann, etc. If the well-dressed young lady remarks, 'fIsn't it perfectly killing? it is Miss Knowles. UAiry, Fairy Lillian. MIRIAM ELSIE LAMB Miriam is one of us through sickness, and doubtless she appreciates the honor done her in making her one of that illus- trious class of y08. ls a consistent church-goer. being particu- larly enthusiastic in Y. P. C. N. work. So is Eaton. Is a fre- quenter of Room 5 recesses where she and a few others can be heard in quiet CU conversation. ls a good scholar and always does what she thinks is right. f'Nature has only made her a Lamb And religion has made her an angel. HELEN IRENE LAVERTY Helen left us during our Sophomore year, and although many of us have seen her in class, she has not been around with us much. Is a very demure young lady in public: some say that all this vanishes when with a few of her friends. Always wears a smile when anyone is looking at her. Can look black as a thun- dercloud, however, when something not particularly pleasing to her happens to turn up. 'iSlll21ll, but all there. 53
