THE QUIVER 19 JOHN ROBERT HURLEY It's his manner and his smile That make him worth while.” Who's this handsome lad beaming from this picture? Why it's none other than John Hurley, the champion soda-jerker of the Senior Class. John is a quiet chap, or so he appears in class, that is. until he recites, then he assures us that he is full of humor and as witty as the best of us. We don't know just what John's plans for the future are. maybe he’ll be a taxi driver, you never can tell, but anyway here’s success to you in your future endeavors from our fair class of 1931. Junior Play Committee (3). Latin Program (4). DOROTHY ELAINE INGALLS This charming lass Is a joy to any class.” Jap! Tap! lap' Who is it? What a needless question to a,k' It is Dot. of course, with her tiny, wooden heels. 1 hey attract the stronger sex, but this seems to arouse very little interest in her. Dot is interested in Art —but hull' that is her personal affair. Feminine friendship was not lacking during her high school career In the years to come Dot plans to become an efficient business woman, and the best of luck is extended to her by class '31. Business Club (4), Senior Play Committee (4). RUTH ANNIE IREDALE Fingers keen, nimble feet.” Ruth is another quiet girl of the class of '31. Quite man shy in school but otherwise, out of school, we are told. Ruth has a number of friends, whom she is always ready to help. Ruth's red hair calls forth many a comment. She brings memories of Clara Bow with her red hair. is one of the remarks heard. But Ruth remains undisturbed by them all. Ruth is a girl who does one good deed a day. Perhaps more. Who knows! Ruth's ambition is to become a beauty specialist. We are sure Ruth will find success in this field, for no one can resist her pleasing personality. Whichevet way Ruth will travel, she will get there, for she will play her way through with her charming music and arrive at success. Library Club (2). Junior Play Committee (2). Baseball (3).

Rita is in a happy mood But this, after all. is no miracle, because she believes in using that woman’s privilege of talking all the time We are all aware of the fact that her favorite form of recreation is skating. We wonder why? Perhaps a dark-haired youth makes the sport so much more interesting. In any ca;e. however, he is fortunate for Rita has pretty brown wavy hair, flashing dark brown eyes and a most winsome character. Rita's motto is Never trouble trouble, until trouble troub'es you. We are not in doubt about this saying for we seldom find a frown on her face due to overstudy. Despite the fact that Rita claims she dislikes the fourth period. Tuesdays and J'hursdays she seems to find it a very opportune time to discuss the topics of the day. Her ambition for the future is to become a nurse and we are confident that she will achieve great success. Business Club (4), Ticket Committee Senior Play (4).

18 THE QUIVER JOHN VINCENT HEEFURNAN Oh! 1 am stabbed with laughter.” John may be small, but that doesn’t seem to keep him from making noise. Classrooms are never dull to him for he can always find some sort of amusement th:re. He is one of the chief noisemakers in our band and orchestra, too. and he cer tainly knows how to hand'e the drumsticks! One of his features is the smile that won't come off. John has won many friends, and although we are unaware of his plans for the future we wish him the best of luck. Band (2) (3) (4). Orchestra (2) (3) (4). Glee Club (2) (3) (4). EVELYN MAE HELM As good be out of the world, as out of fashion. Here's a pleasing young lady that needs no introduction, even though she does come all the way from Slatersville. A cheerful greeting every morning, carefree attitude at all times and flashing brown eyes are a few of Evelyn's characteristics. Her hearty laugh always amuses the class during the typewriting period. Ev's” dramatic ability is known to all. especially to those who saw her act in Icebound. Her wit and humour in this play will not soon be forgotten. Providence certainly seems to hold some great attraction for this young lady, who spends many of her week-ends there, yet we do not seem to understand it. because there is a certain dark-haired youth in the Senior Class who attracts Evelyn to a great extent. She likes swimming and dancing and also enjoys serious reading. We must admit that our Evelyn is always among the first to blossom out in new fads. Let us hope that she will gain as many friends at Commercial School as she has at W. H. S. Junior Play (3), Business Club (4). WALTER H1GHCOVE Deeds, not words A flashing shadow, a crumbling line, a bedlam of excitement on the sidelines, and Highcove is off on another run Hero of the gridiron, diamond and basketball court. Walt” is well-liked and admired by all his classmates. By far the weakest of his opponents is Algebra, a team noted for the deceptive plays and the staggering upsets it causes every two months, but Miss McFee's Highcove can help anyone comes with clock-like regularity. Wall also makes a very capable Class President and we are certain that there is no power behind the throne! Now acclaimed one of the oustanding schoolboy athletes in the state, we expect to hear much of Walt during his next few years at college. Class President (4). Football (2) (3) (4). Baseball (2) (3) (4). Basketball (3) (4). Track (3) (4). KENNETH HODGKINS Ken” His time is forever, everywhere his place. Ken” is that tall, solemn youth you see ambling along the corridors and never exerting himself. We cannot remem ber ever seeing Ken actually hurrying of his own accord. The only time he increases his pace is at lunch time and then it is through no fault of his. for Camera, himself, would have to step lively if he ever got caught in that Thundering Herd”! A loyal friend and comrade. Ken takes with him the best wishes of the class of '31 when he enters R. I. State next year. Glee Club (2). Senior Play Committee (4).
