G THE QUIVER ! EDGAR BEAUDET Last year there appeared in our midst a new pupil who came from Assumption College,Worces- ter. You all know Edgar Beaudet, even if he does not attract attention in any way. His motto is, Mind your own business and you won't get into trouble, and whenever Edgar appears on the scene, he is either studying or strolling leisurely back from lunch. By the way, Edgar, we heard l Y t business. that you were going in the crug-s ore Is that a fact? ! GERTRUDE BELHUMEUR We will always remember er for her lovely soprano voice which we have heard on repeated occasions during our school days. She has many ambitions. But the foremost is her am- b't' n to become a nurse, which she is fulfilling 1 io by entering St. Joseph's Hospital in September. Gertrude is a talented artist and has made seiyleral ' ' ere beautiful oil paintings. But how. many are who know Gert's weakness for civil engineers? HORTENSE MARIET BARRETTE Hortense is that smiling damsel entering Room 19 at 8:29 very leisurely and assured. Hortense does not seem very talkative, but if you belong to her little group of friends, you will see her shine, and how. Hortense is a friendly girl, and she is especially fond of going to a not so far distant city's High School dances-we wonder why? She is undecided as to her future career, but we know she will be successful in whatever she decides upon. Discussion Club 141, Omicron Beta Club 141. GEORGE BEAUDET Hit 'em high! Hit 'em low! Come on, George! Let's go! Doll Dance first, then, Tickle the Keys. And can he tickle them! Composers do not make pieces too difiicult for our George. G or e has been the school pianist during the year 9 g d he make assemblies lively! As a devia- and oes 'c . . . tion from music, he passes his extra hours on such ' ' L tin and simple subgects as solid geometry, a , trigonometry. It is impossible to get him to play a tune after class, so we are waiting for a year to hear him in public. Then he willnot blush. Do t b sur rised if you hear of Paderewski being no e p deprived of his crown in a few years. Here is a boy who will rush him. Class Pianist 011. , , G trude Belhumeur l

THE QUIVER MARGARET MIRIAM ALLEN Margie, with a smile and a cheery word for all, arrives tardy no longer, though having a longer distance to Walk. And does it seem possible that she was the widow of 55, in the Senior Play, she with her boyish bob and tlapperish ways and styles? A question that would cause her much agitation would be to ask her How did you hap- pen to order one-half pound of eggs at Kennedy's, Margaret ? For that answer, ask her. She takes part in no athletics, but is a good sport and f 'tl - - ai 1 ful rooter for W. H. S. Margaret is planning to go to R. I. C. E. and in her role as a teacher, we wish her success.

Leslie Arnold has led our school through many a wordy battle! Leslie's main char- acteristics are his love of an argument, his phi- losophy, which is new and all his own, and his rushing habits. Hanging on like grim death to a long brown pipe, hurrying back and forth, Les is a veritable superman. The incredible amount of reading which Leslie does sometimes makes us wonder how he can find time to visit the girl- friendf' There are very few among us whose book-reports would not suffer if Leslie did not work at the library. Debating Club 111 121, Debating Team 131, QUIVER Board 141. ARNOLD l!WILLIAM E. ARNOLD Bill was the leading man in the Senior play 1 39 East 1. Conservative, fraternal, and slow, but sure. No one has had so many outside activ- ities and interests 1 !1 as Bill and still managed to continue as a student. Though a reactionary in most things, he is radical in one. He believes that all men should lose their individuality in a fra- ternal order of some sort. Criminologist of many shades! Debating Club 111 121, Debating' Team 131, Dramatic Club 141, Senior Play 141. FRANCIS BARRETT Frank, as he is called, is another important member of the Omicron Beta Club. As chairman of the Welfare Committee, he surely comforts the sick. We have heard it said that he is Vcrra much interested in Moore fountain pens. Here's hoping that he becomes a partner in the Moore business. Oh, Frank always was a sheik and always will be, we imagine! Senior Play 1-11. Omicron Beta Club 141.

THE QUIVER 7 WALTER F. BELL Theologian and philosopher. Annapolis will claim him next year, and the Middies will then receive the benefit of his searching inquiries into the cosmos. The universe, evolution, and the soul of man are his chief interests in this world, ex- cepting God's oft-termed Greatest Gift to Man, How will he reconcile a naval academy with: A loaf of bread- A jug of wine, The wilderness and thou! ! ? h Honor Student. VI' THEODORE BENOIT Teddy always rushes around with that 'Tm monarch of all I survey look. He is always busy, yet always quiet, which is quite unusual. Waves are his hobby, not ocean waves or marcel waves, but radio waves. Teddy,' is quite an unusual type, because there are very few boys who are quiet and modest. Radio Club fly. r , THOMAS FRANCIS BLISS Bliss is a quiet, unassuming, receptive chap. Besides caring for his enormous crop of hair, Curly has little worries. As to his outside work he gives little thought, having as his motto Leave for tomorrow what you cannot do today. This maxim Bliss carries out to perfection, for when an assignment is due, Curly has it accom- plished-how he got it no one knows. His out- standing subject is mathematics and we hope that his future work in engineering may be as success- ful. I V IRENE VERONICA BOYLAN To those who do not know her, Irene seems reserved. But to her own crowd, she is the best friend in the world. She is one of those members that the Omicron Beta Club would be at a loss without, for she is always ready and willing to do more than her share of work. Some day, some business man will be glad that he found Irene, for she is a valuable asset to any oflice. Dance Committee 445, Omicron Beta Club 145, Library Club 141,
