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.

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.

ERNEST ARTHUR VVHITTEMORE Ernest has been a constant member of Mrs. Day's dancing class this year, and that speaks well for him. He has tried to oHer us his opinion on the subject of facial creams and sapolio. telling Aus that neither does any good. Perhaps he has tried both and if so he ought to know. During this year he has .played basket ball on the second South High team, We often wonder why Ernest makes so many mistakes in reading Amer- ican History aloud, This is especially noticeable on Monday morning. His attractions must be outside of South High, judg- ing from all appearances. He said, right or wrong, what came into his mind. ARTHUR MGORE WITH STANDLEY During our Junior year we received this promising pupil from the Durfee High School in Providence. Ever since Art's first day with us he has become very popular, and during this season he played basket ball, He served as a member of the banquet and class day committees this year, and was an exceed! ingly helpful member of the Junior class day decorating com- mittee. His popularity is not confined alone to the male sex, but is equally shared by the fair sex. We thought at one time that his literature leaned toward Browning, but since then he has changed his views. Not a word spake he more than was need. lRENE FRANCES VVILMOUTH4 Irene entered high school with our class, but there are very few of us who know her, because she is so quiet. She spends most of her time at recess studying in Room 5, and does not mix with any of the members of our class. She expects to take up her further studies at the Normal School. XVe are all sure that she will make a good teacher. Looks perfectly grave at a pun. DANIEL ROSXVELL XVOODBURY Dan is a studentg that is, he studies CU a great deal and is a very quiet chap. His quietness and his desire to be alone make us believe that he has loved and lost. He can more than play shinny and this is shown by the way he guards the goal. He is especially famous for his brilliant recitations in history, which we all appreciate. He expects to enter business college after leaving high school, and we hope that he will succeed in his work there as well as he has at South. He goes to his work like a thief to the gallowsf, G5
