STEELE “Ell” “Of recreation there is none So free as fishing is, alone ; All other pastimes do not less Than mind and body both possess : My hand alone my work can do ; So I can fish and study too.” Northwest School ; Athletic Association (1. 2, 3, 4) ; Junior Usher (3). “Ell”, although you never make yourself conspicuous, you are right there with the “goods.” But. I’m afraid you like your fishing too much. ANNE STONE “Annie” “I love its giddy gurgle, I love its fluent flow, I love to hear my giggle Everywhere I go.” Northwest School; Classical Club (3, 4), Executive Com¬ mittee (3) ; Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4), Vice-President (4) ; Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Athletic Association (3, 4) ; Girls’ League (3, 4), Executive Committee (3) ; Girls’ League “School Revue” (4). “Annie” and “Bella” are as widely famed for their team¬ work in giggling as are Mutt and Jeff, but everyone doesn’t know that Anne is rivaling “Dune” in the art of writing verse. EVERETT P. STRONG “Bud” He was a gentleman from sole to crown.” Northwest School; Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Football (2, 3). We have heard some fine remarks about your dancing, “Bud,” so we are taking the opportunity to compliment you here. Didn’t you and “Gay” have some grand times to¬ gether in W. H. S. though ?

Like streams that keep a summer mind, Snowhid in Janooary.” Transferred from Bridgeport High School ; Girls’ League (3, 4) ; Athletic Association (3, 4) ; Glee Club 13) ; Choir (3, 4). Blanche thinks that Weaver surpasses Bridgeport High, and for more reasons than one ! Rather lost, though, aren’t you, Brunchey,” without Sylvia Gladstein ? 24

Why aren’t they all contented like me ?’’ Pawlet, Vermont, Grammar School ; Girls’ League (3, 4) ; Athletic Association (2, 3, 4). Evelyn told us that she didn’t wish to humiliate the mem¬ bers of ’26A by mentioning all the clubs that she belongs to. Of course this was confidential, you know !
