MARY KATHERl NE RICHARDSON Mary is our shining light, a veritahle heacou in fact. Nearly everyone knows her hy sight, at least. Made a tremendous hit our junior year in the role of an old lady. Always ready to fool, even when Mr. NVm. Cole is reading themes and his threat to announce her theme is hanging over her head. As elass his- torian she has an extraordinary chance to display her power of eomposition and elocution, in which lines she possesses no small talent. This year she and Jenks did grand work in lovers' parts thlary needed very little coaehingl. Her eyes has all its radiant youth ller cheek its morning ll1llllC.n tllair not mentioned hy requestl ICRHA lXlll.lJRlClJ RILICY lveing a close friend of Mary U'Connell, resentlmles her in many ways, 'lihey are always seen together and Imoth have still to learn that rare eharacteristie of being' ahle to keep quiet.

ETH EL ELIZABETH ROACH Of a happy disposition it is hard indeed to find Ethel and not find her smiling. Known by nearly all '08 she has never put. herself forward and has never become famous. Like M1ll1e she is very fond of birds, but her taste runs towards robbins, and apparently her love is returned. Robbins say:-'Cheer up.' 60

EUGENE HAYVVARD PONVERS. 'Gene is rather a quiet fellow, generally. He is not easy to get well acquainted with at first sight, but when once known he wears. He is very strong in his likes and dislikes, but is true blue to those whom he counts as his friends. Is something of a shark in lessons: though not enough so to be tiresome. For the first two years of his sojourn here he made few. attempts to get popular among the girls, and so he hardly knew a single one of our fair class-mates texcept Aliceb. But alas: the wind has changed. Jessie and numerous others have made his list a long one. Some say also that he has outside interests in that line: but if so, they don't interfere with those in town. Is :1 strong and faithful committee worker, and it is by his effi- cient help that we have been able to publish this book. Has done good work in Congress and has been President of the same, His intentions are to go to Tech and we all wish him the best of fortune there. I fooled them all, but now I am discovered. GRACE ALICE QUINN who entered our class fifteen years after her birth in our be- loved city, cannot be called the most brilliant, nor by any means is she the dullest member of 1908. She is a girl who appears to be modest and shy, staying in the background and yet doing her work in a conscientious manner. She intends to pursue a course of study at Post's Business College. A Grace beyond the reach of artf' GRACE VVOODBURY REDDING. NVe all love Grace, as Mr. Cook said. Quiet and rather difhdent as a rule. she is extremely good company when among her friends. Is a member of Dramatic Club, whose Viee-Presi- dent she was during Junior year. Chums it with Gertrude tOpposites attract each otherb. Is one of our First honor pupils, being famed far and wide for her brilliant themes which never fail to draw an A even from Mr. Cole. It is her intention to go to Smith, and the best wishes of the class go with her. A friend, a person with whom one may be sincere. MARY ETTA REYNOLDS Mary was born in Spencer and it certainly should be proud of this fact. She has been with us four years, but as she has led a very quiet life, we have little to say about her one way or the other. XfVe all know that she has taken five lessons this year, not because she had to, but because she enjoyed studying. She is to take up her further study at Post's Business College. Modest she seems-not shy. 59 f' K f , 17,7523 2.1. I, ,. .pf T ' ,. f V' 4 '.,' i ' . ' 5 f vi EM, ',f ' 1 jf, . V V, 5. ' 'ftflfmi-2425 i 652 2,2 I 1.2 1 5 gf.f1 , ' .,,' V 'JJ 6'

RALPH ALANSON ROBBINS. Ralph is one of the jolliest fellows in '08. Ever ready to make a good time. He and some of his teachers have now and then had words, the result of which usually was another conversation between Mr. Wootlwzird and Ralph. Is an en- thusiastic automobilist, often letting lessons slip for the sake of giving the auto exercise. For further information concerning Ralph apply to Ethel Roach. The lost sheep. GOODVVIN RGBINSON was perplexed for the first time on Sept. 18, 1889. His per- plexity increased during his grammar school course and cul- minated in an acute attack when he reached South High. Goody's genial and humorous character, and his unique com- mand of a peculiar vocabulary have made him known to all, while his A'Now, I don't quite see that, after something has been ex- plained three or four times, has served to take up many hours in the class room wihch might otherwise have been devoted to more harmful things. Dense as a London fog. DONALD MAY RUSSELL is still another of those many quiet ones among us. He honored Worcester by his arrival here in 1891. He appears to be a hard worker, and we hope that he'll continue to be ambitious in his future career at Tech and also later. We think that he must have some attraction for he has paid no attention to the many beauties in our class. Sober he is, but not severe. ALICE ELIZABETH SAVVYER first entered NVorcester society approximately eighteen years ago. She may, without the least hesitation, be called one of the most popular girls in our class. Freshman year she was chairman of the class-pin committee, Sophomore year she was class Treas- urer, and ,the past two years she has been class Secretary. Be- sides her excellent work as Secretary, she is one of the associ- ate editors of this book. Alice has several peculiarities: but per- haps the most notable one of which she is the sole possessor is that quaint laugh. It might be more distinctly described as be- ginning like the croak of a frog and ending with the trill of a prima donna. Since Alice is to have it patented soon, those girls who fancy such an ornament should hasten to obtain it. UBorn to command is she, and woe to him that heeds not. Gl 1
