THE QUIVER U JAMES CURRAN “On the mound “Jimmie” is hard to heat. His opponents verify this when they meet. “Jimmie, while not at all extraordinary, is in his characteristics highly individual. He has a remarkable way of holding old friends while out captivating new ones. He is always ready for fun, but never goes to extremes. Need one ask why “Jimmie’s favorite sport is baseball? You know, his ambition is to become a great leaguer and from what we have seen already on the mound, jimmie” shows possibilities. Why is Jimmie “shocked at” the long home work assignments? Knowing him as we do, we feel safe in saying that whatever be his success in life, he will always remain the same Jimmie of our high school days. Best o luck, Jimmie.

Would be difficult for you to meet. Whenever you hear a trilling laugh followed by a scries of minor giggles you’ll know it’s our “Connie. “Connie is our nightingale and her greatest ambition is to become a famous singer. She is very jolly and good-natured and we are glad to claim her as a friend. “Connie” is always seen in the center of a group of girls in the locker room where her jollity makes everyone happy.

CHARTIER “Her form and figure though petite. Possesses a visage ever sweet. “Julie” is really an asset to our school. Such is the conclusion that many have come to when they see her strut through the corridors. Some might fancy her height a slight handicap in the swirl of social life, but when one determines the graceful swing of her actions on a dance floor, such doubts vanish. Our “Julie expects to enter in training in the fall and we feel sure that she is well suited to her career, for we believe she has the essential qualities to make this vocation a success.

ALBERT CLARK Solitude and peace are what I crave. Be it in schoolroom, forest, or cave. Albert’s fair blond tresses are the envy of most girls. His retiring nature gladdens the hearts of the teachers as he is very quiet. Albert craves solitude, in fact, he would like to be a hermit. Albert and Thoreau have something in common as they both declare that they have never found “the companion as companionable as solitude. Perhaps in years to come when we hear of a person who had written a book on the undiscovered facts of nature, we will wipe our glasses and perhaps sigh and say—“Why, Albert went to school with me! Inter-class Basketball (2) (3). IDA CROCHETIERE “Eyes of an artist in this girl you’ll find. Thoughts of fame keep crowding her mind. Oh! Oh! Just look at this dashing young lady coming along. Why to be sure it’s our own Ida. Ida is W. H. S.’s most outstanding contribution to Swift’s land of Brobdingnag. She is very much interested in skating and may be seen any fine winter night at one of our most popular ponds with-oh, all right, Ida stop blushing. If you have never seen any of Ida’s drawings what a treat you have in store! She is uncertain about plans for the future, but we know Ida that there is a place reserved for you on the ladder of success. Quiver Board (4), Basketball (2) (3), Volley Ball (2) (3).

16 THE QUIVER (iKPj4e veKiO eyae Qeyi)( ( (i vQ p v(weya( eya( seyz DAVID DANIELS “Here is the hoy with the 'bag of surprises,’ He dotes on all things in spite of their sizes. Dave is the hoy with latent ability. He surprised us when he got several of his test papers hack: he received the highest mark in several examinations. According to reliable sources ( David Daniels, Esq), “Dave is quite a salesman. He is often mistaken for Paul Whitman, because of his smile, good nature, and the other characteristics of the King of Jazz. Dave is also admired for his brown, curly hair, and his neat manner of dressing. Dave intends to go to some advanced school next year, and then enter into the business world. So long 'Dave'. Dramatic Club (2), Band (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4). KENNETH DARLING Here comes our tall man, 'Ken,' Who spends much time reading in his den. Kenneth is the boy with the broad smile and the “trick laugh. He is the mechanical genius of the class, and figuratively speaking, he speaks, eats, and sleeps mechanics. Kenny's favorite occupation is to give a discourse on the working of the various parts of a machine. He and his friends spend a great deal of time expressing their views on the latest inventions. The opposite sex has little attraction for him, so it is said, but we are doubtful. Next year, “Kenny intends to enter Rhode Island College, and take up engineering. Good luck, Kenny. Glee Club (4). JOHN DeANGELIS John always wants to know the 'why's' and 'wherefore's' So he receives responses with facts and 'therefore's’. John is one of the few shy boys who are left. It is no exaggeration to say that John is really afraid of girls because his demeanor proves that conclusively. But however bashful John may be with the girls, he proves his mettle on the football field. He was indispensable to the team and performed his share of the work very creditably. John does not care much for basketball, we notice. John’s hair will never stay combed, but that only makes him the more admired by the ladies. John has not told us what he intends to do after graduation, but he is such a steady, dependable worker that his success is assured even before graduation.

Never from her course does she swerve. Doris is a tall, slim girl with an ever-ready smile and an o. k. for a slogan which shows her willingness and assent to help others not so skilled in puzzling out intricate interest problems or the like in bookkeeping, in which so many commercial students meet their Waterloo! Yes, that's Doris! Skating is one of her favorite sports. Wonder whether she cuts figures as fancy in skating as those she does in bookkeeping? However, for the sake of auld lang syne, we'll drink a cup of happiness and wish you the best of luck in any of your future ventures. Candy Committee (4), Nu Sigma Nu Club (4).
