LILLIAN COHEN Lil Tis good nature only wins the heart ” Lookie! Lookie! Lookie! Here comes Lil ! She is a bright ray of sunshine and a firm believer in giggling. Here is one girl who will never let a pal down, and her friends wouldn ' t t hink of letting her down either. Her eagerness to help others and her happy-go-lucky air have endeared her to many of her classmates. Northwest School. Ingleside Club; Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. MARION COHEN Mimi “Time and patience work wonders.” It seems that everyone who possesses the cute name of Mimi is talkative, so this poor girl never had a chance. Nevertheless, she ' s not gossipy and finds time in between practicing this engrossing art to keep spotlessly neat. Frank A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Ingleside Club; Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. VIVIAN COHEN Viv “Popularity is power.” Whenever one sees somebody eloquently talking, laughing and gesticulating, and surrounded by a group of eager girls, ' tis Vivian telling a joke or swaying the mob. She, our second Demosthenes or Cicero of the feminine variety, has that astounding quality of doing four hours of homework in half an hour—the envy of many of her classmates. Northwest School. Girls ' League, Treasurer; A. A.; Dramatic Club, Vice-President; Honor Society; French Club; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps; Essayist; Matinee Dance Committee. SIDNEY COHN ' ' Quinn” “His hair is oj good colour.” Quinn has a bright and cheerful disposition. He has a keen sense of humor and can always take a joke. He has passed a quiet and industrious four years with us learning all he could and keeping out of trouble (?) We wonder why he is so quiet—perhaps he is a jilted lover or something! Northwest School. Never tardy. A. A.; Chemistry Club. [ 24 ]

EDWARD CALLAHAN Eddie “Calm amidst the angry waves.” Eddie is one of those who may not be a mental wonder in his studies, but he certainly makes that up in his natural athletic ability. Eddie is a quiet kind of chap who minds his own business and who expects others to do the same. Northwest School. Baseball; Basketball; Football; A. A. CAROLINE CARSON Ruth ‘To have an appreciation of art is to have immeasurable wealth” Caroline will be remembered as a tall, dignified girl. Her favorite pastime is talking, and her answers in class have been noted for their frankness. She is a very neat girl, and we understand that she does very fine work in the art department. Northwest School. Girls ' League; A. A.; Portal Board, Art Editor. FRANK CARTER Scotty ‘7 e worships sport more sincerely than he worships women.” Scotty found chances to indulge in athletics all the year, being a formidable member of the basketball and the track teams. In track he did his work in the longer runs. They say that he developed his wind chasing girls. But we are inclined to doubt all that rumor. For Scotty is quiet, and is a lad of steady habits. Northwest School. Never tardy. Never absent. Basketball; Track; Cross Country; A. A. ABRAHAM COHEN Abe Comb down his hair; look, look! it stands upright.” Abe is noted for two things: his haircuts and his wisecracks. In the lunchroom, he reigns supreme in making more noise than anyone else. However, our little Caesar meets his Brutus in French classes. We sometimes wonder if his stuttering has anything to do with it! Northwest School. Never tardy. Boys ' Glee Club; Senior Choir; A Capella Choir; French Club; A. A.; Boys ' Club. [ 23 ]

DOROTHY CONNORS Dot “The grass sloops not, she treads on it so light.” Dot ' s” height does not rate very much in compar¬ ison with the rest of us. She tries to be very quiet and demure, but her radiant smile and accompanying giggle belie her actions. Dot never worried much about her homework, but she says she got along O. K. anyway. Northwest School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; Ingleside Club; A. A. CLOTHILDE CORNWALL Dildie “A silent address is the genuine eloquence of sincerity .” Clothilde will be remembered as a quiet, meek girl. She never has much to say, yet is always congenial to those who know her. Clothilde, who has participated in all musical activities of our school, has a mellow rich voice. She will be sorely missed from these choral groups. Arsenal School. Girls ' League; A. A.; Lookout Editorial Board; Girls ' Glee Club; Senior Choir; Portal Board. FRANK COSTELLO Lefty ' ‘Of gentle soul, to human race a friend .” Lefty” certainly has rhythm in his blood. He can thump his bass fiddle like nobody ' s business. He also belongs to practically every musical organization in the school—except the Girls ' Glee Club. If you ever hear a deep rumble which sounds like an earthquake, it is probably Mr. Costello clearing out his fine baritone voice. Frank A. Brackett School. Senior Orchestra; Inter- High Orchestra; Boys ' Glee Club; A. A. JULIAN DARMANA Frenchy “Though a lion to his enemies, he was a lamb to his friends .” Claims of never having been tardy, absent, nor demented have been set forth by Frenchy. But all this is, we realize, very inaccurate, the case of the no demerits being the worse. Frenchy ' s love for fun brought many a demerit descending on him. All through school he was one of the boys, mixing with the crowd and being liked by all. Northwest School. Football Squad; Interclass Basket¬ ball; A. A. [ 25 ]
