FLORENCE EDNA SQCIRES Edna, as she is known to us. is one of the favorites of our class. She was born in NVorcester in 1888, and waited for our class before she entered High School, knowing well that it is better to enter late than never. Edna took part in both plays given by the Dramatic Club. and in both she did very well, She is to display her talents at the Boston Conservatory of Music next year, and we wish her the greatest success there. She had not much to do with the fellows in the class until this year, but lately we have notiCed that she is a little Battey. Friend of the stage! To whom both Players and Plays Must sue alike for pardon or for praise. CLARA LOUISE STEELE Clara has been with us four years, but we are not yet very well acfuiainted with her. She is a very prominent mem- ber of the Philommthea Society, and has materially helped this club in many ways. Has taken a leading part in the plays given by the club and has done some very promising work in this line. thereby winning no little praise. W'hat is man that thou art mindful of him? VVALTER ELDRED STEELE VValter has been a quiet member of our class although he has had many honors. Our first and last years he has been class treasurer, and this year he has also been treasurer of the Dramatic Club. He has much to remember about his trip with the football team to Pomfret during the season: he doubtless will not soon forget Mr. Donnelly. :Xt the Senior Banquet he treated the subject of Dramatics very dramatically which pleased C?l all the fellows. During our last year he has been much of a Holmes boy, going out little except when lnez went. But there's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream. JOH N NVILLIAM TUCKER the must have got his name from Shakespeare, whose works he Zl.ClO1'CS?l is a lfVorcester born young gentleman. As far as can be seen from his appearance at school, his habits are good. Kas might be expected from the influence of the '08 class which surrounds himl ln a few years we expect to hear of him as a literary star of Amherst :Xgricultural College, the institution he plans to enter after leaving South High.

FRA NK ALFRED XYALKER Frank is one of those fellows who never did anyhting wrong. Never starred in his lessons, but maybe his prospective course in Clark will luring out his qualities as a student, ls well known hy all the hoysg hut, excepting Clara. has a very lim- ited acquaintance with the girls. Of a particularly peaceable dis- position, we all sincerely hope that Clark won't change him.

S.'XR.'Xll LUX ROl.l N li NVQXRR ICN Sarah was luorn in NVest .Nulmurn and this accounts for her frequent tartliness. ller duets with Selig in llistory class are fully enjoyed lay the whole class, She has led a very quiet life at school and outside she does little hut study. She almost never fails in class and so when every one else fails we await Sarah's turn to recite, because it is known that she will save the day. She is another of our girls who expects to enter Normal School, and we are sure that she was cut out for a teacher. Of all the girls that are so smart, 'l'here's none like little Sally, JOHN XYILLIAM XVHALEN Jack is a staunch '08 man, and althougn there seems little chance of his ever heconiing famous as an athlete, he has at least done his hest to make himself a point winner for us, which is more than some of the '08 fellows can say. ls in the baseball squad this year. la a well-meaning fellow.
