When she ' s not laughing, her inter¬ esting line of chatter includes the latest news, Fr. Coughlin, miracles and Mr. Roosevelt. It ' s not safe to make predictions concerning this little lady, but she ' ll make a good reformer or revolutionist. William Bertram Dugan Course: Commercial Activities: French Club 3; Glee Club 3-4. If you ever hear anyone eulogizing the Boston Bees chances are that you are listening to Bertram who Is probably the Bees best support¬ er.

Claire Agnes Drugan Course: Commercial Activities: Glee Club 3-4; Frenoh Club 3; Candy Sale 4. If anyone remarked that Claire is rather small, the courteous retort should be, Good things oome In small packages. Her ever smiling oountenanee and her cheerful dis¬ position have made her the Immed¬ iate friend of those with whom she has come In contact.
