There is a legend that the sunshine of his countenance melted the snow for nine miles around the town, together with many feminine hearts. He Prepared at the Brookline High School where he began the study of French, which last summer made him the ideal of all the maids across the sea, because of his pretty speeches. Add to these qual- ities the melodious tinkle of -1 Bye's mandolin and the merry twinkle of his rapturous eyes and you Will cease to wonder why he had to tear himself away. f'Bye's repertoire besides including the mandolin and feminine heart strings extends also to the violin and guitar. He is assistant leader of the Mandolin Club. Henderson intends entering business, and will receive his old friends at 6 Louisburg square, Boston, Mass. HIBBARD, Rufus Percival, arrived on April 2, 1875, one day late, in New Haven, Conn. His striking precocity and scholarly reserve early decided his parents to prepare him for college. This task was entrusted to the Gloucester tMass.j High School. While not particularizing in any de- partment of college work, Hibbard's impressive gravity and vigorous argument have elevated him to a position of conspicuous eminence among his classmates. Rufus himself declares that the most valuable thing he has obtained from his college course is common-sense. He is a member of the Philotechnian Society, He expects to study at the Harvard Medical School, and his future address will be Gloucester, Mass. x 3 JOEL I-IATHEWAY. ALEXANDER HENDERSON RUFUS P.
