ALBERT FREDERICK NORRIS Albert has plugged along with the rest of the class and has made himself notorious by his connection with Miss VVood- man's orchestra and glee club. Albert has lots of cheek: so she set him to work on a cornet. As to the quality of his voice, it actually overcame his bashfulness so much that he sang in a male quartet before the school. He was an end in the '08 ininstrels, and with the exception of his singing, he did fine work. He will make a sudden change from the glee club and orchestra when he enters Amherst Agricultural College in the fall, He who sings drives away sorrow. JOHN JOSEPH ALOYSIUS NUGENT began his dream concerning his baseball ability somewhere about 1890. This dream stayed by him until now Jack really thinks he's a player. But, to stop joking, Jack has worked hard to in- terest the boys, and some of the girls also, in the national game. He is so enthusiastic about it that we cannot help wishing him the best of luck. And may it be that he, after finishing his col- lege life at --, and is winning success in one of the major leagues, shall think back to the time when he gained his funda- mental ideas of the sport in our high school class. Upon his brow sat childish innocence. GRACE MARIA OAKES Grace entered High School with our class four years ago, but since her entrance she has had so much to do with the Holy Cross boys that she has been unable to keep up with the class and so she has decided to come back and join the '09 class. Grace is a very good singer, and after graduating from High School expects to study music in Boston. Here's hoping that she will enjoy herself in the '09 class as well as she has with 115.
