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 ]

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 ]

JOHN DeLUCCO Dee “A nice unparticular man.” Alas! poor Dee ' s enjoyment of mirth is always dis¬ covered by some wary teacher. His shoulders broad¬ ened by years of toil on the grid, would violently rock up and down; the teacher would observe, and place two demerits on Dee ' s shoulders to help steady them. Very few can give forth such an unending stream of laughter as he. Northwest School. Football; Interclass Basketball; A. A. EILEEN DERBY Derby ‘ ' Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set.” Eileen is one of the quiet, dignified girls. She is pleasant to all, and always tries to help when she can. Her good-naturedness is appreciated by those who come in contact with her. She will be remembered by the class because of this amicability. Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. A. A.; Girls ' League; Portal Board. HELEN DiCORLETO Dick “As merry as the day is long.” As an all-round good sport, Helen has been active on the basketball, baseball, and soccer teams. In recog¬ nition of her high standing in these sports, she has served as President of the Girls ' Leaders ' Corps. Both at work and play, Helen ' s cheerfulness has always been an inspiration to her friends. Northwest School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; A. A.; Class Colors Committee; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps, President. MARY DILLON Dillon The mildest manners with the bravest mind.” Mary is a decided re st from some of the more talk¬ ative members of our class, but although she is quiet, reserved and calm, she has a keen sense of humor and a pleasant smile. She is sincere and sympathetic, and anyone would be glad to have her for a friend. Northwest School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; A. A.; Ingleside Club. [ 26 ]
