The Abbot Circle 19 2 3 (But f)tar §trl0 SARAH EVANS FINCH ' Sally Duluth, Minn. Wellesley One year Arm Band ' 23 English V Play ' 23 Secretary and Treasurer Odeon ' 23 She did her own thinking and needed little advice. It takes brains to he a one year girl ; that ' s Sally. It is rumored about that she is very con- scientious and knows how to concentrate. She ' s loads of fun and has a way, all her own, of win- ning girls ' hearts. And we ' ll never forget her as a story teller — for she can tell ' em — the nice kind, you know. Just ask her. We ' re mighty glad you breezed into our class from the We st, Sally. ELIZABETH CRAHAM PECK I shy Derby, Conn. Smith Arm Band ' 23 Class Hockey Tear Fidelii Honor Rol year ' 23 Indeed it is my chief delight to do the things I ought. If you ' d seen her at Intervale you ' d know that actions speak louder than words. She can ski and she can snowshoe, and oh, well, just everything! And she made the second Hockev Team right off the bat ! We ' ve heard that a large nose is a sign of intelligence but Ishy ' s the ex- ception that proves the rule — she was ' way up in the 90 ' s on the Honor Roll. 31

T h c A b b o t C i r c I c 19 2 RAYMAH TWINING WRIGHT Andoven, Mj Class Treasurer ' 21 Honor Roll ' 21, ' 22 Three years Glee Club ' 22 Fidelio ' 23 Willi the kindest of hearts and noblest of minds. Raymah has been at Abbot for three years and as far as we can see she has only one failing: — namely, her mighty intelligence. She deserted the Junior Mids and popped into our class just like that. And she stands a good bit higher than most of us, at that. But in spite of this — er — drawback, we have become very attached to her and we think she has one of the sweetest person- alities this side of Paradise.

The Abbot . Circle 1923 an 31 for enior ( With apologies to Mr. Rudyard Kipling) If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and flunking their exams, If you can trust yourself, when teachers doubt you, Because you are a girl who never crams; If you can wait, and not be tired by waiting Nor at the thought of those dread marks grow pale, And love your foes and not give way to hating, You, friend, deserve to go to In ten-ale. If you can ski and gradually ski faster Down higher jumps and take the spills; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And laugh at bumps and always feel the thrills; If you can trail and hang on somewhat tighter ■ Than the rest, and yet enjoy a dump; If you can slide and tip and right her And start again and never mind the bump; If you can eat and eat and find you weigh more And never mind the added pound or two, But eat again and then go out and play more Until you ' ve done just all there is to do; If you can smile and say, Goodnight, Miss Bailey, And go upstairs and never frown or sigh, And rough-house some instead of Dozen daily, And get in bed and freeze and nearly die: If you can do these things and Thursday morning Get up and smile and pack and say Good-bye! And pile into the train and heed the warning Do not read trash; all food you see don ' t buy. If you can come back home and not grow weary, But make your school a better place, nor fail To buckle down to work, nor find it dreary, You, friend, deserve to go to Intervale. 32
