Mt. Holyoke Two years " The making of a friend is the best token of a man ' s success. " There seem to be two particularly obvious things about Charlotte. One is her friendship with Beatrice and the other is her connection with the ukelele. She seems pretty quiet most of the time and so when we see her coming along with Beatrice, we wonder what the subject is that makes her talk so busily and when on oc- casions like class picnics we have Charlotte plus a ukelele we wonder what ever made us think she was so silent.

" Whenever we think of Lora, we think also of Louise, for they are inseparable. Lora doesn ' t make much noise about things, but works hard and then suddenly we see the results — such as Lora on the Honor Roll. Last fall she was one of the able " wings " of our victorious Hockey team. In addition to her pluck, she also has the quality of being just darling and making every- one love her.

G. and as for hockey, — well, have we ever watched you? Those who room near you, know of your good practice, and wonder if perhaps you don ' t need a new pair of shoes in place of the pair with which you used to shoot goals in silent time. We wonder who will take your place next year as the recipient of Mrs. Fletcher ' s numerous boxes of candy. And say, Billy, it is awfully hard to Study, especially in the morning. Anyway, Billy, you ' re yourself and what more do we want? HELEN BRUNO Glen Ridge, N. J. Senior Play Two years Arm Band ' 20 " How pretty her blushing ivas and how she blushed again. " Well, Bruno, you can give us the satisfaction of teaching you at least two things in your course at Abbot. Just what " B. C. " means and just where to use " revolting. " Will we ever forget Bruno when she dressed to go to bed our second memor- able night at Intervale! No wonder we couldn ' t find our sweaters and mufflers and woolen stock- ings the next morning. Watch her blush when we speak of il ! The Abbot Circle 192 1 ELIZABETH F. BULKELEY " Libby " " Betty " Southport, Conn. Elmira Mandolin Club ' 20, ' 21 Two years Arm Band ' 20, ' 21 " Silence -is the perfected herald of every joy. " Libby ' s another one of those mysterious people who seems so " quiet except to those who know them " and then — well, ask Sliv or Clara Louise or Alma; they know her better than any of us. You wouldn ' t call Libby quiet though, if you could hear some of the tales she tells about Hill- side. She and Eunice must have had a pretty good time there. What is Libby going to be? We don ' t know, but after looking at some of the pictures of graceful nymphs dancing on the green, that we see in her room, our thoughts naturally turn to Rhythmic dancing. Do they have a course at Elmira, Libby? DOROTHY CARR ' Dot " " Chu-CJm ' Melrose, Mass. Fidelio ' 21 Two years Senior Play " A heart as sound as a bell. " Dot ' s the kind that can read the latest maga- zines in study hour, then go to class and show all A ' s at the end of the term. Dot ' s always doing little deeds of kindness for everyone. And rave, — " Oh, my dear, " there ' s never a gap in the conversation when she ' s around.

" Listen, is that a Victrola on the third floor front? No, that is just Clara Louise singing something from the latest opera. Surely if you c ' imb up the ladder of fame as speedily as you climb up Andover hills, you will be at the top long before we poor mortals below have reached the lowest rung. Abbot will be proud of you yet, Clara Louise, and when you come East on any of your concert tours remember we are all your friends. But, we beg of you, when you stay at any of the best hotels in the country, do not get up early to clean your room on Sunday morning; — the other guests might not be as obliging as we Abbot girls are. However, we wish you all suc- cess in your career, and here ' s to our Denver rep- resentative. ELINOR P. COCHRANE ' Ellie ' Melrose, Mass. Fidelio ' 20 Bible Group Leader ' 21 Two years Advisory Board ' 21 Arm Band ' 20 " Of all the girls that e ' er was seen There ' s none so fine as Elly. " Is Ellie from New England? Yes. Has she a New England conscience? You bet she has. Is there anything she attempts that she doesn ' t put her whole spirit into? She can even make the second floor wing behave when she ' s proctor. And her lessons? We bet they ' re prepared as well as anyone ' s. Everyone likes Ellie. Will she do big things in the outside world? Wait and see! 10 The Abbot Circle 1921 RUTH A.

Can it be that she was once a nun, and having left her convent, constantly repeats her prayers w hich have be- come second nature to her? No, that is Ruth, our dignified fire captain, repeating her list of lieutenants. Truly, we wouldn ' t be at all sur- prised if you should sing them to us some night in A. C. A. instead of your song. And that re- minds us that here is another singer in our midst, and we feel that she, too, will bring us fame. HARRIET EDGELL ' ' Hat " Gardner, Mass. Wellesley Vice Pres. Student Gov ' t.

" When you think of it, how many things are there that " Hat " hasn ' t received in the line of honors — Honor A, Stu. G.; A. C. A. vice presi- dent, basketball team, Honor Roll, etc. Conse- quently the class is pretty proud of her — and as for drag — well — " Hat " does have an awful time understanding the clever little jokes that go around the school; — but never mind, " Hat, " there are some others who have never heard of Goethe, too. 11 The Abbot Circle 192 1 LOIS G. FLEMING " Loie ' Cileasondale, Mass. Senior Play Two years Arm Band ' 20 Bible Group Leader ' 21 " Long, may such goodness live. " Well, Lois, we certainly admire a girl who has nerve enough to come down with mumps right in the midst of exams. But Lois is not the kind of a girl that is stumped by the mumps; she went right ahead and took some of her exams at the infirmary, and passed them, too, with marks which we " unmumpy " people envied. She may be rather quiet, but she gets there just the same, and we missed her sunny smile, and her apolo- getic " excuse " when she bumps into us, while she was away. FRANCES J.

" Take her as a gouty old man (!) or a shrew tamer (!!) or as her own talkative sweet self - well, just take her — she ' s fine in all those char- acters. Just to look at her very New Vorkish clothes and hats or her fuzzy hair one wouldn ' t link her up with A. C. A. or Northfield — but that ' s Fran ' s other side. 12 The Abbot Circle 192 1 BEATRICE GOFF Andover, Mass. Three Years. Honor Roll ' 19, ' 20, ' 21 ' ' The fire i the flint shows not ' till it be struck. " The class is mighty proud of Beatrice. When she came to Abbot she stepped right on to the Honor Roll, and you can see how firmly she step- ped when we tell you she ' s still there. Even in the midst of College Prep courses, and when the Honor Roll was shortened to nine names, we find Beatrice there. She just discovered this year that she could sing, and now is a member of that dis- tinguished society — Fidelio. Altogether we feel we couldn ' t get along without her. JULIA E. GUILD " Julie " Windham, Conn. Senior-Mid Play ' 20 Senior Play Two years Arm Band ' 20 Fidelio ' 21 " So womanly benign and so meke. " Julia is the kind that is slow to make advances for herself, but when you ' ve made the advances it ' s worth while. Julia is mighty keen on Do- mestic Science and her one ambition in life is to be a dietitian in a hospital. Julia never has any- thing but a good word for anybody, and is always ready to do something for someone else. 13 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 A LIC GO R HAM HALLETT " Al " Gloucester, Mass.

" We aren ' t surprised that Al is headed for Miss Bouve ' s, judging from her faithfulness on the hockey field. Al, our would-be bridge shark. Never mind, Al, you ' ll be one some day.

Mary at the piano, Mary on the hockey field, Mary in class, Mary just any time is doing things well, and is such a good sport about everything that no one can help liking her. We always think of her place being at the piano, but some of the charming things she has written make us wonder if perhaps her talents aren ' t divided. 14 The Abbot C i r c I c 19 2 1 FLORENCE HINCKLEY " Phil " New Rochelle, N.

" Clink, clank, clink! Phil arrives on the scene with one of her funny remarks and we all laugh. Trouble? That ' s Phil ' s middle name. She just walks right into it, but strides right on again, thanks to those legs of hers. Do you know the serious Phil? Yes, she ' s hard to get acquainted with, but mighty fine when you know her. Don ' t be so stingy with us, Phil. Speaking of legs, Phil certainly knows how to use them on the hockey field. What will Abbot do without her? FRANCES BOYD HOWE " Fran " Melrose, Mass.

" When Fran came to Abbot, years and years ago, the thing that called our attention to her was her running fire of comment in class. It still does. Fran ' s right in her element when it comes to rhythmic dancing, and Glee Club. Fran ' s sister made an Abbot Hockey Team, and Fran kept up the family reputation. 15 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 hf V n itfiilt £■;- ■ 1 FRANCES KEANY " Fran " " Keany " Andover, Mass.

" Keany ' s another one of those clever young people who can say just exactly what we ' ve been trying to say for ages — and say it in a different way. Keany just is different herself. Did you ever know anyone who did so much reading? She reads everything and talks glibly about those books and authors whom we, in our ignor- ance, never heard of. Fran was the heroine of the Senior Mid play and being college was the only thing that kept her from being in the Senior play. She draws, too. Oh, Keany ' s a peach! M A R I N R .

Kim ' s an awfully good sport, and talk — well - remember the political rally? As a result — president of Q. E. D. And we ' re rather inclined to believe public speaking isn ' t the only kind she ' s noted for. She was a leading man in the Senior play and do you remember Field Day in the rid- ing meet? We do, too. 16 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 ELIZABETH McCLELLAN Smith Andover, Mass. Honor Roll ' 20, ' 21 Two years " The silent countenance often speaks. " Oh! how we wish we had just a little of her brains, or her hair ! Elizabeth is so very quiet and backward about coming forward that none of us know her very well. But little things tell, and we ' re sure that she ' s a peach. ELIZABETH McDOUGALL " Betty " Rockland, Maine Wellesley Glee Club ' 20, ' 21 Song Committee ' 21 Two years Fidelio ' 20, ' 21 Arm Band ' 20 " do not set my life at a pin ' s fee. " Whenever we hear " Sail, Bonny, Sail, " we think of Betty McDougall and her lovely voice. And the nice part of it is that she is always willing to sing for our pleasure. Betty ' s interests fall right in alphabetical order — A (bbot) — B(ow- doin) — Climax at M (ath) and the highest point of interest at P.

Dottie Martin. Dottie has a style and way all her own. She ' s another leading man in the Sen- ior play, and the cup winner and champion Horsewoman of Abbot. And doesn ' t the quo- tation just fit her? Syracuse EUNICE MEIGS " Meigsie " Fabius, N. V. One and one half years Glee Club ' 21 " Independence now and independence forever. " If you should see Eunice in the hall talking with one of the teachers you would immediately ask, " Who is that quiet, demure looking girl with such innocent eyes? " But that would be because you did not know Eunice. " Those in- nocent eyes " can also twinkle with merriment. And that hair! Will we ever forget the time she went riding with il hanging down her back and even the small boys cried, " Look at the hair. " 18 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 HERBERTA A. MORSE 11 Herb " Providence, R.

Will you ever forget the Carnival scene at the Senior Picnic? — that was her idea. When you get right down to it there ' s not much Edith can ' t do. Write — she ' s one of our two dramatists — sing agony, draw, act, oh, everything! Yes, we agree Edith ' s some girl. 20 The Abbot Circle 192 1 MARIAN LAURA PARKER " Marny " Detroit, Mich.

But she has now, haven ' t you, Peabody? How? Oh! that ' s our secret, but he was nice, wasn ' t he? Really, we never see much of Peabody, not for long at least. We hear a quick noise and cheery " Hello Everybody " and then " Well goodbye, I only dropped in for a moment as I was going by.

We hear that Helen wants to be a nurse. Well, if she would say as many funny things to her patients as she does in class, we think she wouldn ' t have a dull ward.

She also plays a banjo with beaucoup pep and jazz, qualities she puts into everything she does and which is one of the chief causes for her popularity. WINIFRED BROOKS SIMPSON Lowell, Mass. Three years Class Book Board (Art Editor) Senior Play " Well done, Simplicity. " Winifred is our future artist and we expect to see her things around pretty generally before long. Judging from the posters she makes, we think it is only a short step before we shall see stunning magazine covers with " W. S. " in the corner. In fact, we think the Library ought to begin to think about making an appropriation for magazines other than the Atlantic Monthly, etc., for it would be too bad if future Abbot girls should miss seeing the pretty pictures Winifred can make. 23 The Abbot Circle 192 1 MARTHA WEST SMITH " Mart " Turners Falls, Mass.

She can ' t be out- done on the basketball field, and when it comes to Q. E. D., well ! Marianna can tell us a few things. MARY WILLIAMS Welles! ey Nanking, China Arm Band ' 20 Two years " Thou hast the patience and the faith of saints. " Here comes Mary, her curls almost bobbing off, all transported with delight. Why? A nice, big fat letter from her beloved China. Mary has a remarkable sense of humor and her own way of saying things. She is forever keeping her room neat ' n ' nice, and it ' s not very often that you do not see some kind of flowers there. Some of us don ' t know Mary as well as we ' d like to, but these of us who do, realize what the others miss. 29 0m gear trte MARGARET ALLING " Marge " Plainfield, N. J.

At Intervale we were constantly reminded of the fact that just eight miles further on " we would be tenting to-night on the old camp ground " — for the White Mountains are the Allings ' hobby. We are surprised that Margaret didn ' t bring home a pine pillow for those little naps she likes so much. 30 The Abbot Circle 192 1 MARIAN A L LING Goucher Plainfield, N. J. Arm Band ' 21 One year " Beware of her fair hair for she excels all women in the magic of her locks. " This is Marian. We ' ve always wondered how it is that she and Margaret always appear in the same clothes, although they live on different corridors. And we sit in church puzzling which is which, — they are so straight and uniform; now, just as we were puzzled at Miss Howey ' s party when we saw the curly headed little Al- lings in their chubby embrace. HELEN UNDERWOOD BAKER Greenwich, N. Y. Smith Arm Band ' 21 One year Honor Roll ' 21 " Gladly wold she lerne. " " I ' se a broken-hearted Dutchman " — Them ' s the historic words Helen uttered at the Senior picnic — and ever since, she ' s been asked for them on all class state occasions. That ' s not Helen ' s only specialty. She also shines in Math, and as a result we find her name high on the Honor Roll. She ' s one of the lucky persons who has passed off her college exams, and has nothing to worry about in her future. 31 The Abbot Circle 192 1 MARION CLEVELAND Albany, N. Y.

The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 Snterbale The pale moon shines on a fairyland of hills and mountain peaks, and the bustling wind in a hurricane makes the glittering snowdrifts deep, and all around the town is still, for the world has gone to sleep. But here we sit by the fireside in our cozy little inn, and rest and talk of what joy and fun our happy trip has been. Those silvery nights when the sleighbells ring and our voices join in their song, and we think of the trailing and skiing we ' ve done as we played the whole day long. How we climbed that steep cliff and tumbled and fell; but the things we ate make our mouths water to tell. Now the fire is low, but the dim cannot blur this vision that ' s all too true, for we ' re thinking and dreaming and yearning once more. For whom? Why, Intervale — for you. 37 As we plant the lasting emblem Of the years so richly spent, Years of striving ever upward, Years in gain of knowledge bent; As we feel the love and patience Of a mighty host gone by, Who a firm foundation builded, And upon this class rely; May we prove the worthy hold- ers Of the trust they freely give. May this world be fuller, richer For the lives which we shall live. Elizabeth Thompson The Abbot Circle 10 2 1 Qtt)t Jf able of tfje tratgfjt anb J arroto $atf) Once there was a Class, who had Hopes of Graduating in ' 21. The only Relic left of those who started away back yonder before an unprepared World was swatted simultaneous by Social Unrest and Nation Wide Prohibition and before this Exclusive Social Organization had enjoyed a fruity Reputation as a Nut Fac- tory, is Edith Page, a Dame endowed with that Art called Dramatic Instinct. She was joined in the following Year by Libby Weld, who was strong on back- to-nature stuff and Pete Weld, who before she was biting on a Rubber Ring was being coached to play the Part of our Class Comedian. Then, the next Year, arrived Florence Hinckley, she of the lengthy Pedal Extremities, and Marianna Wilcox, who cut loose from the native Shire, and Frances Keany, who made a long Trip from Bean-Town. And in 1919 with one fell Swoop the Grand Old School was hit by a Migrator with a flossy Label -- Sylvia Nicholson; one Miriam Bickford, who had not pro- gressed from Pin Feathers to the Age of Discretion ; Martha Smith, who wielded a very consistent Knife and Fork and whose Daily Demand was for Something that sticks to the Ribs; Dorothy Martin, whom it fussed quite a bit to be compelled to Feed Herself under the Scrutiny of Comparative Strangers; a Winifred Simpson, whose Painting suggested that in the Great Shake-Up of Destiny perhaps it was meant that She should be an Artist; Frances Howe, whose early training in a Cen- ter of Sociability prompted her to discuss the Weather with Total Strangers and likewise a little choice Scandal now and then ; one Frances Gasser, at whom every- one looked askance when she appeared in Morning Coat and Orchid, and that Narrow White Hickey inside the Vest, and the Spats and the Curly Hair draped over All; Beatrice GofT, whose dignified Suit of Quaker Grey, the chiseled sug- gestion of Patrician Reserve on her high brow, the wince of Pain and the up- lifted Eyebrow when someone indulged in a Cursory Remark — all these meant much to the Observant Faculty; it befell that Carol Perrin got in here sideways in spite of telling little tales about when Highballs were peddled over the Bar and Public Dancing was tolerated and Women wore four-inch Heels. In the Year following the Year 1919, which some People are wont to call 1920, we had so many Stars that even the Manager was Trembling. Dy ' a see that Bunch out on the Circle taking the Sun? Leave me call them off to you — ■ First 39 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 there is Helen Bruno, one of them N ew Jerseyites, supposed to have the brightest Hair on Record ; Then comes Harriet Edgell who makes all High Rollers look like Marble Players; Dorothy Carr — oh Joy! oh Bliss! and a couple of Raptures! Alma Underwood, who had a Song that caused a strike in the Orchestra — Some of the Musicians said they had Families; Ruth Crossman, who we admit is headed for the Pearly Gates, even if we have been repeatedly stung by her; Clara Louise Cleveland, who instead of effacing herself and sitting back subdued and rever- ential, has taken charge of the Conversation ; Lois Fleming, who strings ' em along scandalous and tells ' em to leave her alone because she is an Unprotected Maiden with a Spotless Reputation; Marion Kimball imbued with the Desire to scatter the Wampum. She was exceedingly Frontage. Alice Hallett, who studied a Stand- ard Work on Auction so as to avoid Being Trimmed every Afternoon. It was just as Lucid as the Book of Deuteronomy in the original Sanskrit; Helen Norpell who, when it comes to Keeping Time is about as Useful as a One-legged man at a Fire; Elinor Cochrane, who having flopped as a Glee Clubber was sup- posed to have a Glorious Career awaiting her in the Business World ; Lora Barber, who looked like Geraldine Farrar in the Last Act and Lillian Russell at the Age of Seventeen ; Secret Mottoes and Pass-Words and Grand Hai ' ing Signs and Signs of Distress may seem to be Fol-de-Rol and Pish-tush to Cold-Blooded Skinies, but they were the Real Paprika to Marian Parker; Mary Harrison, who looked out from early Obscurity and discerned Many Organizations to be Joined ; Louise Van Dervoort, who lives where the Prairie Loam is very Brunette and the Cattle are Broad across the Hips; Julia Guild, who came from a Town where Prunes were still organized against Grapefruit; Betty McDougall, who had a jewelled Pin bear- ing the Mystic Letters P. H. V., which might mean Parrots Have Voices or Papa Hires Veterinarians or Please Help Violet or any other Fool thing; Mary Wil- liams, who at Bridge never pulled a Bower, on the Hottest Days her Collar never mussed and she could Wear a Hat without messing her Hair; Elizabeth McClel- lan who could Juggle such Words as Vouchsafe and Eleemosynary, without Batting an Eye; Jessamine Rugg — even the Gentlemen conceded that she had a Certain Charm of Manner and a Savoir-Faire with the accent on the Salve; Elizabeth Bulkeley, who when conversing gums up the Minor Syllables; Helen Roser, who before Many Moons began to Hanker for the Yellow-Legged Plymouth Rocks, the Golden Butter and the kind of Milk that gushes from old Bossie; Once a young Person alighted from the Horse Car and hurried to this Suburban Beehive — labeled Eunice Meigs; Mildred Peabody, who arrived just as Ripe for Impressions as if she had come from the Planet Mars hanging to the Tail of a Meteorite ; Henry and Libby Thompson, two Terwhilligeeses from Cranford, you may recall. We know People who would give their eye teeth just to have been Insulted by them - then they could say they had Met them; Mary Talcott who was Slow to be- 40 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 lieve that the Grandfathers of some of the Children she knew had come home from College Reunions at 2 A.M. Plastered to a Fare-You-Well ; Charlotte Baldwin - you never can tell what Heat there is behind the Asbestos, how wildly a Heart is beating underneath a Starched White Vest; Agnes Titcomb, who had to keep posted on all this Flub so she could answer Questions when she was out among the Almost Intellectuals; Eleanor Voorhees who plugged for the Common Weal, and was Strong for the Brotherhood-of-Man Stuff. The Day was counted lost when the Low-Descending Sun saw Nothing put over for the Betterment of the Race. And this Gay Bunch set out One Day for Pomps on Shank ' s Mare to make Merry with Hot Dogs and Coffee miles and miles from a Tea Urn or a Macaroon. You ate it but after you got through you were not sure that Anything had hap- pened. One frosty Night they ventured Forth to try their luck in a Sleigh. It was some Jubilee and a Good Time Was Had By All. Then came the Time to appoint a Leader of our Motley Crew. The Members sat around a Table and looked at Each other Benumbed and Helpless-like, just as Sprightly as a Congress of Jelly Fish. It was a Combination of Chautauqua, Bean Bag and a Peace Conference. They knew they needed a Pace-Maker with Pep and Ideas. It was Carol Perrin. Then, would you believe that such Rarities as Roast Beef, Turkey, and Hard Boiled Eggs, and Imported Cheese and White Bread and Baked Beans, and Gol- den Creamery Butter were served upon this Senior-Mid Banquet Board? We ate just enough to Sustain our Thirst. So, it was in Anno 1921 A.D., when the Moons Waxed and Waned and Har- vest followed Seed Time that Six more Youthful Creatures hied themselves to Abbot and said they were willing to Accept Positions as some of the Executive Heads of the Blossoming Combine. Marion Cleveland, who hailed from the As- phalt Jungles of Albany; Marian Ailing, who was not yet fed-up on the Camping- Out Stuff; Margaret Ailing, who just when she Felt like Lying Down had to Shift Scenery and hear Somebody Chirp in Classes; Dorothy Simmons, whom no one could stump by asking for Inside Dope on a Late Work of some Icelandic Novelist; Aya Ebina, our Little Representative of the Land of Flowers, who rose at Chilly Dawn and hot-footed to a Slave Pen when it was so Pleasant inside the Covers; Catherine Knight who got up in the Morning so borne down by Business Anxiety that all she could Take On for Breakfast was a Few Eggs and a Couple of Patty Cakes of a rare kind of Sausage containing Pork and Several Strata oi Flap Jacks and a Tureen of Coffee ; Helen Baker, who would have been the World ' s Champion of the Intellectual Heavyweights if she had worn Ear Muffs. 41 The Abbot Circle 192 1 One fine Afternoon we hoisted Ourselves into Trucks and hied to Haggetts ' where the Noises of Our Merry Feast carried across the Deep Drink. So, after years of Placid Toil, the Baskers went on a Terrific Bat, in an Effort to Relax and Recuperate, and for the first time we poor old Birds were un- shackled and left to run Wild in the Mountains. With Mr. Bassett as a Com- posite of Guide, Counsellor, Friend, Referee, Diplomat, Reception Committee, Medical Adviser, and Political Prophet, we managed to subsist. At the End of Four Days, the Weary Vacationers returned to this Peaceful Abode. Then the Senior Class pulled off one of Dear Old Willie ' s Famous Vaudeville Sketches, " The Taming of the Shrew. " It was Rough but made a big Hit. Then came our Final Blow-Out, which consisted of Caviar and Sweet Breads and Artichokes and Bosom of Partridge, Pigs Knuckles, Spring Onions and Grid- dle Cakes, et cetera, et cetera. Nothing came after it except the Pepsin Tablet and the Hot Water Bag. Then after a Week of Joys and Tears when we paraded our Organdies and Entertained the Old Folks from Home, our Alma Mater tossed us upon this Wicked World with only our Sheepskins to Guide Us.

And then I shall be sinking slowly into a sweet sleep, and suddenly feel a pain, a pain which shall cleanse my soul of my body, and send me all tingling and rejoicing off into space. I shall feel as fresh and young and dancing and powerful and bright as Baldar. And there will be a strong rush of air upon me, and suddenly I shall find myself walking in the moonlight beside the sounding sea. The silvery haziness, the stretch of shining beach, and the pounding surf will invigorate me and I shall march onward with assurance like a hero of old. And within the sound of blowing wind and clamoring sea there will be a stillness, and that still small voice that has come down to me through the ages will speak, and space, and time, Eternity itself will be explained. Frances Keany ' 21 fttotligfjt Twilight and the deepening shadows steal Through the great still forest deep in shade, And as the sunshine slowly starts to fade, From afar is heard the clear-toned vesper ' s peal ; And in the light of stained glass windows kneel, With reverent heads bowed low, both man and maid With humble hearts and spirits open laid To Him whose quiet presence now they feel.

One day he came to the town of Babylon, to the golden towers and turrets of the famous town of Baby- lon. And here he saw the hanging gardens that were the wonder of the world. Sitting in the garden he saw the princess, and his heart turned to hers as a lily to the dew. She was clad in a gown of woven silk as white as the clouds and as blue as the sky. Her flowing golden hair hung over her shoulders, catching the sun- beams in its silken meshes, and her dark blue eyes were full of laughter as she sat among the roses. And the poet drew forth his lyre and sang a song of life — a song of love, and youth, and joy to the princess in the hanging garden. His graceful figure was full of vigor and happiness as he stood in the sunlight in the streets of Babylon. The princess smiled and threw him a red rose, fresh and sparkling with the dew. Then she turned away and forgot the poet standing below, but went about her tasks. And the world passed by and heeded him not. That night the poet came again to the hanging garden where the princess stayed. He lifted his head to the cold, still stars and wept. Oh, life was cruel, life was sad! Then, on the wings of a little wind that scattered the rose petals over his face, there came a song from heaven. He lifted his lyre and sang a song of life -- a song of sorrow and deep-throb- bing mystery — a song that brought tears to the eyes and a dim far-away longing to the heart, but one that made the whole world stop and listen to its wonder and its beauty. Then down from the hanging garden came the princess to him, carrying an armful of roses, and together they walked, hand in hand, into the starlit night.

The plot is simple and it is the actress ' interpretation of the characters that gives the life and humour to the play. Who ever thought " Van " Lamb could draw such a long face over her " ailments, " or that Florence Phillips would get so shrilly excited over a " Buffalo Bug, " or Helen Goodale over " a cord of wood. " But they did and made Mis ' Moran, Mis ' Trot, and Ezra Williams " real folks, " as Granny would say, that little old lady whom Elizabeth Whittemore made us all love, with her dislike for carpet rags and longing to do something. Janet Warren was a delightful Mis ' Abel, ruling over this group with her sharp tongue and warm heart. Last but not least, her daughter, Inez, where C. P. Damon was just lov- able, and Peter, the long, lanky, young man, who plainly agreed with us about Inez but to such a degree that he lost his tongue (who ever heard of Mary doing that) as well as control of his limbs in her presence. And only Mary Polk could have been that Peter! All these people found they could, in spite of many personal difficulties, plan and contribute towards a shower of food and clothes for the poor sweet neighbor that Muriel Moxley made in the part of Mis ' Ellsworth, who unexpectedly learned that her nephew was coming to live with her. In this neighborly preparation Peter " forgot himself " and the love story ended happily. Though the little boy did not come, we are gladdened and refreshed by the kindness and sympathy of this group of real neighbors. 76 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 " E )t Jflortst Mop By Winifred Hawkridge In Mr. Slovsky ' s flower shop many little romances and long love stories come to an end, and Maude, the saleswoman, romantic and sympathetic, takes a real personal interest in each one, planning engagements and weddings as if they were her own. To put a personal interest into the business, Maude, with the consent of Mr. Slovsky, who has great faith in her, and the aid of Henry, the little clerk and general utility boy whose admiration for this young lady makes him a willing listener to the long flights into the flower histories of many of the old customers, has sent to each one complimentary bouquets according to the size of their bills with the shop. On the list appears the item " Orchids for Miss Wells, " an old spinster, whose flower bill with Slovsky ' s had been limited to an Easter lily every spring, which she sent to the fiance, Mr. Jackson, to whom she had been engaged for fifteen years. In order to bring about the marriage Maude has sent them without a card, and Miss Wells, when she appears wearing the flowers, is excited and mystified to find that, according to Maude, they have been sent by some tall, dark man without " dear Mr. Jackson ' s " knowledge. After Miss Wells has gone on into the shop to indulge in some bulbs Mr. Slovsky discharges Maude because of her foolish extravagance in sending his precious orchids to such a customer. Just as she is leaving Mr. Jackson enters to inquire about the flowers which his fiancee is wearing and Maude again comes to the rescue and mysteriously describes the unknown suitor. Miss Wells re- turns from the other room, and a very humorous scene follows, in which Maude is reinstated once more, and receives a large order for white roses and lilies of the valley for the wedding of Miss Wells and Mr. Jackson. Who would believe that Jane could be the important, smart little Henry whom we all loved, and Alex, the gesticulating, business-like Mr. Slovsky? Or that Sandy could become an egotistical, fastidious Mr. Jackson, and Laura the sweet, hopeful Miss Wells? Last but not least there was Maude, whom Miss Morgan played, as only she can do, in the absence of Ruth Hill. Each one did so well that the flower business will always be absorbing, appealing and twice as entertaining as usual. 77 The Abbot Circle 19 2 1 " 3t ftappeneb " By Jessamine Rugg Jane is beautiful and Jane is — well, Jane is quite a truthful portrait of everything that ' s sweet and good and she loves her best friend ' s fiance because — well, she just can ' t help it ! What a com- fort to have a friend who understands and sympathizes as Louise does and who can be trusted to keep a confidence. Gwendolyn Bloomfield as Louise made us feel sure that Jane ' s secret was hers too and that Jack would never know how deep an affection Jane had for him. And now, does a girl who dotes on jazz and cigarettes and her own good time first, last and al- ways, deserve a fine, clean-cut young man with high ideals? Of course not ! That ' s why Jack was left alone heart-sick and disgusted when Anita eloped with a football star at the Yale Prom. Lou- ise Mount played the part of scatter-brain Anita and very cleverly told us of " a honey- moon on Honolulu Bay. " Olive Howard was her prize husband and we could not help laughing at his indifferent manner towards his kidnapped bride. Jane ' s mother was the real life of the play, a fashionably dressed and gossipy bridge fiend, whose nerves must be stimulated by parties and news of other people ' s affairs. Vera Barnett made a stunning mother and her wit and by-play fascinated the audience. So " It Happened " that Jack had an awakening and realized he had been loving a sweet little girl who was always kind and thoughtful and always understood, and she wasn ' t Anita, she was Jane! We do not blame Elizabeth Thompson who played Jane for holding Jack up as her ideal. Elizabeth Hutchinson made a perfect lover and who couldn ' t be happy for ever and ever with him? The cast was completed by Alice Hallett, who made a charming little French maid. " Pucfeskin nne " By Edith Page Charles Bradshaw Anne Darling Buckskin Anne Susanna Welborn Sir Kenneth Gwynne Margaret Ailing William Gwynne Lydia Kunkel Servant Natalie Page Whoop -ee-e!! A flash of brown — a jingle of beads, then a laugh! Thus did the wild nymph of the woods, Buckskin Anne, make her entrance upon a very interesting scene — a rather vitally interesting scene, as it concerned this young lady ' s ( !) future life. Her father, Charles Brad- shaw, had just finished making plans for her marriage to a perfectly strange, perfectly handsome young Englishman, whom she soon found was the son of her father ' s friend of by-gone years. Both father, Sir Kenneth Gwynne, and son had just arrived in America from England, and because many things had gone wrong with them in their old home were to live here. The whole thing had been very sudden, but Buckskin Anne rose to the occasion and treating it all as a huge joke set about to shock and fascinate her future lord and master. William went through several stages of shocked- ness and then fell completely in love with her. But entirely contrary to her plans Anne was not only strongly attracted by this young Englishman, but with overwhelming suddenness felt her childish- ness, her crude unconventional mode of living and dressing. With one quick, mischievous smile, a bound — and she was gone! William, who hadn ' t seen the smile, was unconsolable. There was a rustling in the doorway. It was Anne — but oh, so different. Gloriously beau- tiful in her mother ' s wedding gown — tremulously conscious of her love — this new something that has come over her. She timidly questions their approval. William says nothing, but his heart is in his eyes — her father boisterously enthusiastic — Sir Kenneth honestly admiring. Anne is deliciously happy. With a quick, impulsive movement she grasps a tomahawk, leaps upon the table and is about to utter another of her blood-curdling war hoops, but her gaze en- ( ounters William ' s. " William, wouldst kiss my hand instead?

And How He hated it! He thought it a pity to Mar So his life, and having cudgeled his Bean, he decided the only thing to do was to move into the country. When everything had Been Attended to, he set forth as cheerful as a Robin Sunday morning; he scrambled up a Craig, and near a mountain Ash Town looked off into the distance. Shortly after he came to a brook which he had to Wade. He was going by an orchard and stopped to admire each tree and leaFlet. Cherries were ripe and the Mason thought he would enjoy some of them. He found in a nest hidden among the cherrieS weeny robin ' s eggs. Suddenly two constables sprang on him and placed him under arrest for tres- passing. " You can ' t go onto private grounds even in the country. They belong to the Rich. Hard, Son, but you ' ll have to pay a fine or come to jail. " The Ma- son counted the nicKels He had and having paid his Bail He started back from whence he had come. He got a lift part of the way on an Adams express wagon and at the next town he went to the Baker ' s and bought a loaf of bread and some Butter. Fields were full of Hop (s) Kindred plants etc. Bank, Croft and slopes were covered with daisies. He went down sPookey Putnam Lane remembering the stories he had heard of murders in the Rue Morgue and a Stealthy step startled him, so that he ran until he heard his friend Mathew Singing the bugle call to Abbot. 84 fust a itttxture " Caresses " — Harrison, Perrin " If You Could Care " — F.
