Besides being a fatal attraction to th»- weaker sex, Bud” has proved to be no mean adversary on the baseball field, and it is not surprising that we have won so many football games this year with Bud” as our manager. The dull routine of the classroom is lessened by his bright and scintillating remarks. His personality has gained for him a host of friends. From my ruthless throne I have ruled alone For a million years and a day.” Thomas Marrack Callings, “Mac” ELM STREET SCHOOL Baseball, 1. Football, 1, 2, 3, 4. Track, 1, 2, 3, 4. Inter class Baseball, 2, 3. Radio Club, 1. Aviation Club, 1. Senior Play, 4. Marrack has been voted the most romantic and most sentimental boy in the class. We wonder why (?). He has taken an active part in athletics throughout his high school career and has excelled especially in football. He loved the twilight that surrounds The border land of old romance.” Harvey Hinton Conklin LAN DON HIGH, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Associate Editor of Landon Lantern,” 3. Dramatic Club Officer, 3. Junior Boys’ Club Officer, 3. Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4. VV. H. S. Senior Play, 4. Here's a case where appearances don’t deceive, for Harvey’s just as scholarly as he looks. Can you imagine anyone’s finding all A's on his report ? Harvey did. No wonder we have nominated him our class genius. “In contemplation passing all his days. And change of holy thoughts to make him merry. Francis Miles Coulhourn, “Smiles” ELM STREET SCHOOL Track, 1. Student Council, 2. President Aviation Club, 2. Assistant Baseball Man ager, 2. Baseball Manager, 3. Football, 3. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Cantata, 2. All at Sea, 2. Penny Carnival, 2. Dramatic Club, 3. P. T. Instructor, 3. Miles is a Southern boy, and therefore has found it hard to acquire great interest in our Northern Sports.” But when it comes to swimming he puts the local boys to shame. In fact he has won many cups and trophies in this, his favorite sport. But where do they all go to? Ask a certain young lady; enough said. The world wants men, true men. Who can not be bought or sold.” William David Dolan, “Bill” “Spike” “Rabbit” ELM STREET SCHOOL Football, 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain, 3. Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4. Track, 2, 4. Stage Manager Senior Play, 4.

Bill’s” smile and pleasant way have made him, also, the most popular boy in our class. He is an excellent athlete, no class activity being complete without him •Bill is, moreover, an outstanding figure in the school's social events. He is a very busy person—dashing about, but he can always find time for his ”Dot”ting. He is a man of honor, of noble and generous nature; And though he is rough, he is kindly.” 24

The study class is very quiet when suddenly, out of the silence, we hear a mirthful little entitle, and there in the coiner sits Mary Bray, enjoying a laugh all by herself. Yes! .Mary actually breathes in happiness and carries with her an atmosphere of joy and glad ness wherever she chances to go. “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are. Mary Regina Brophy, “Marie” PAWCATUCK VALLEY SCH(X)L Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Interclass Baseball, 1. Typing awards. Gym, 4. Some Marys, we have heard, are quite contrary, but not so ours. On the other hand, she is a happy go lucky gir| who seems to fit in anywhere. She comes to school every-morning on the H.cksville Express Thus, if you ever happen to be on it, and hear a n.erry giggle from the other end of the car. you will very likely find Man in conference with one of her cronies. Marie’s bright remarks and ready laugh make her welcome wherever she goes and we are certainly glad she is a member of our class. Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me.” Robert E.

Gym, 4. Bob is our neatest and most polite boy That sounds as though he’s rather stiff, doesn t it. But were sure you’ll agree that he certainly isn’t (except in a tux”). On the night of Prize Speaking, his Boots” made shivers go up and down our spines, and we could just see those never ending boots marching on and on through African mud. He surely deserved his prize. As we remark his skill in taking Kings and Castles” in his favorite game. Chess, we leel confident that he will win equal success in the game of life. For some are born to do great deeds and live. While some are born to be obscured and die. Earl Johnston Carpenter, “Shorty” ELM STREET SCHOOL Baseball 4 Radio Club, 2, 3 Assistant Stage Carpenter Senior Play, 4 Inter class Baseball, 2, 3.

Even the teachers can t resist his witty remarks. He shines particularly in the biology classes, where his clever arguments give amusement to all that hear them. May your wit never dull nor your arguments cease, Shorty.” But we re mad. both the good and the bad.

The Senior Year Book.— 1931 Mary Elizabeth Dunn, “Maine” “Mamie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Country Fair, 1. Gym, 1, 4 Inter class Baseball, 3. Senior Play ( ommittee, 4. Class Prophecy, 4. Junior Dramatic Club, 2. Senior Board, 4. To look into Mary's innocent blue eyes, one would think she was the shyest, most demure girl in the class. But how misleading those mirrors of the soul are, for “Marne is just brimful of fun. Don't tell me you didn't know that she was one of the originators of the W. H. S. Gazette! Suffer herself to be desired. And not blush so to be admired. Elizabeth Edmond, “Lib” “Tubby” ELM STREET SCHOOL Cantata, 1, 2, 3, 4 Dramatic Club, 1. Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4. Chorus, 1. 2. 3. 4 Gym, 1, 4. Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3 4. Here is a girl who goes among us (some of us) in a very quiet way. Probably “Lib'' thinks that action speaks louder than words. The class voted her the neatest girl, and she certainly deserves that honor. Fair-haired, azure-eyed, With delicate Saxon complexion. Marjorie Arline Estabrook, “Margie” “Midget” PAWCATUCK VALLEY SCHOOL Commercial Club, 2. Typing Awards, 2. Commercial Club Entertainment, 2. Base ball, 4. Track, 3, 4. Inter class Basketball, 4. Junior Prom Committee, 3. Gym, 4. Director, 1. Chorus, 1, 2, 3. Fools’ Fiesta, 1. After knowing Margie, not one in the clans dare deny the old adage that go »d things come in small packages. Although she is small of stature, she is unrivaled in her manner of wearing pretty clothes. Her cutenrss and lovable personality have gained her many loyal friends, while her Irish wit and laughing eyes have worked havoc with the gallants of the class. “My love in her attire doth show her wit. It doth so well become her. Frances R. Earn ham, “Fran” “Frame, “Frenchie” ELM STREET SCHOOL Dramatic Club, I, 3. Chorus, 1, 2, 3. Interclass Baseball, 1, 2, 3. Interclass Soc cer, 2. Reception Committee, 3. Junior Prom Committee. Travel Club, 2. Class Con stitution Committee, 1. Gym, 1, 2, 3, 4. Sub Freshman Day, 3. Just look at those eyes. Can it be? Yes, it is—for that is the final proof—that witty remark of hers. It is Fran, our class coquette If you ever took “Fran” by-surprise, you would hear her singing California, Here I Come. We shall all miss her and we all hope that a certain pilot appreciates her as much as we do. “Men must be taught As if you taught them not. Clara Alice Fish, “Caddy” ELM STREET SCHOOL Typing Awards, 1, 2, 3. Commercial Club, 2. Gym, 1, 4. Class Sports. 1, 2, 3 P. T. Director, 4. Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4. Although “Caddy is not a true man hater, she prefers to mingle with the fairer sex. How many dull moments she has brightened with her cute little giggle! She that was ever fair and never proud Had tongue at will and yet was never loud. 25 )s—
