WOODWORTH, RUSSELL, CWOOD YD A quiet, friendly lad. He's toiled with us, and played with us, And laughed when we were glad. He's sung with us in Glee Club, too, To pass the time olday.

Whenever a poster or a drawing is needed, be it scenery for a play, or a cartoon of the football team in action, Wendell is set to work. And can he draw? Weill say he can! Room I has been fairly deluged with newspaper clippings about our 4' boy genius, who has painted every one from Dickens to Lady Diana Manners.

Had she only lived about three hundred years ago, doubtless that renowned dramatist would have starred her as the dark-eyed heroine of one of his masterpieces. But just the same, we're mighty glad she wasn't alive then, for what would we do without Marion to run our dances and brighten the dark days with her sunny disposition?

A few of our classmates are coming back to Thayer next September, for another year. Of course Captain- elect Young of the football team will be among those who return. 'C Johnny is improving, these bright spring days. for he now arrives on time every morning. With him will come Carlysle Kretsehman, and Charles Murphy, with his perpetual grin, to fight for the old Black and Orange. The walls of Thayer will look down for another year on Dot Jenkins and Loring Towne, who were charter members and loyal supporters of '26g we will welcome back, too, Ruth Welch, who for two years has been one of the most dependable members of our class. Eleanor Low has been with us such a short time, that Thayer will be glad of an opportunity to become better acquainted with her next fall. Dick i' Pratl's faithful and industrious work for the Year Book has won him a large niche in the affections and admiration of the class, and he will be welcomed back with open arms. We only wish we could all come back with him. Bowdoin will claim three of our members for the next four years. Perhaps we shall read in the paper of Manager Knowles, one of the finest athletic managers the College has ever knownfy After Asa has spent a season directing the geometry baseball team,- well. any- thing may happen. To Brunswick, too, will go H Brud Bartow, who came to us so recently that we hate to have him leave us. and H Jack Queen, who helped make our Senior dance such a delightful affair. Clarence Arber came to us from Dorchester High to prepare for Colby College. and incidentally to lend his support to the football and baseball teams. We hate to part with him so soon, but we know Colby will welcome him warmly. Many dark mornings have been brightened by Joseph Hunt and his H blonde H hair. He shines, too. in history class. Dates roll from Joe's tongue like water from the prover- bial duck's back. After he has spent four years way out in Illinois, at Wfheaton College. we predict the publication of Hunt's History of America. VVe surmise that September, '26, will see Lisena Di Bona entering the portals of Rad- cliffe. Al. any rate, Lisena has been working hard to prepare for the C. Bs Louise Blaser has decided that a school of Journalism will be her next stopping place. Doesn't that sound terribly serious for a young lady as merry and sunny as Louise? VVe just know she'll make good. tho'. Bob Blake has been with our class for only one short year. YYe only wish he had come to us sooner. for now we've got to pass him on to Tech. And last. but by no means least, comes Bud Payson, our all-round athlete. We hate to think of what the football, hockey, and baseball teams will do without Perley next year. But we are glad we met him? You bet we are! VVe love our old academy Our school and campus fair, All too soon has come the day To bid farewell to Thayer. -il 27 Ig..
