The Abbot Circle 192 5 MARION QUAIN " Marn " , " Quain " Bismarck, N. D. Three years Q. E. D. ' 23, ' 24 Vice-President of Class ' 23, ' 24, ' 25 President of Q. E. D. ' 24, ' 25 Fidelio ' 23, ' 24 Arm Band ' 22 Advisory Board ' 23, ' 24 Hockey Numerals ' 24 Student Council ' 24, ' 25 Chairman of Program Committee ' 24, ' 25 " Oh, if my hair is going to come down, let it, " and with that she pulls it down herself. That and " I don ' t see this math, I know I ' m stupid, but — ■ " are always sufficient to let us know who is here. But she can be awfully serious when she speaks on the merits of Coolidge or when she urges you not to buy that can of peanut butter! LILA RICH " Lila " Rutherford, N. J. Smith Baseball Numerals ' 23 Three years Odeon ' 25 Program Committee ' 25 We never realized we had an honest-to-good- ness poetess in our midst, until one morning in English class Lila surprised us with the most marvelous poetry. Poetry isn ' t her only strong point, though. You just ought to see her on the tennis court! We ' ve noticed that the vicinity of Boston, especially Cambridge, seems to hold a peculiar attraction and interest for Miss Rich. Is it Tech or Harvard? Or maybe both? How about it, Lila? 20

The Abbot Circle 192 5 HILDEGARDE MITTENDORFF " Mittie " Wyomissing, Penn. Three years Hockey Team ' 24, ' 25 Senior Mid Play ' 24 Hockey Numerals ' 23, ' 24, ' 25 A. D. S. Play ' 25 " A " Society ' 24, ' 25 English V Play ' 24 President of A. A. A. ' 25 German Play ' 24 Student Council ' 25 Senior Play ' 25 A. D. S. ' 24, ' 25 Bible Group Leader ' 25 Fidelio ' 23, ' 24 Anyone who has seen " Mittie " on the hockey field will not be surprised to know that she is president of the A. A. A. As for her dramatic ability — well ! she is surely qualified for Broad- way, and we feel, could easily outshine Ann Pennington and her famous legs. But seriously, " Mittie " has done a lot of hard work for Abbot, and her loyalty has been unswerving. BARBARA NELSON " Barb " Concord, N. H. Smith Three years Northfield Delegation ' 24 Arm Band ' 23 Program Committee ' 25 Bible Group Leader ' 24, ' 25 When she is on the street she is as dignified as a country parson ' s aunt, but on the third floor between nine and nine-thirty in the evening — ■ well, she has a versatile nature. She is a joy to anyone who wants a good time, and the despair of a biographer. She is a notorious animal tamer. Her room seems overflowing with bears. Yes, she is dignified, in spots, but she won ' t grow up. 19

The Abbot Circle 192 5 ELIZABETH CARTER RIGHTER East Orange, N. J. " Betsey " Two years Hockey Numerals ' 24 Senior Play ' 25 Arm Band ' 24 Fidelio ' 24, ' 25 Arm Bar ' 25 Manager Senior Mid Play ' 24 Bible Group Leader ' 25 Although " Betsey " is our class man-hater, we often hear her talking of Jackie — but Jackie, let it be understood, is only a canine. When she is ready for hockey, Betsey looks like Alice in Wonderland, but on the stage when she slicks back that lovely blond hair, she makes an extremely handsome man. With her wonderful ability as an inspiring Bible Group Leader, we hope that she will carry on this work out in the wide, wide world. HELEN RISQUE SAGENDORPH Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Vassar Two years Philomatheia ' 24, ' 25 Senior Play ' 25 Advisory Board ' 25 French Play ' 24 Literary Editor Courant ' 24, ' 25 Fidelio ' 24 Honor Roll ' 24, ' 25 Bible Group Leader ' 25 " Just a wreck — just a wreck. " We don ' t understa nd how " Saggy " can be " just a wreck, " when she is one of the more fortunate few who have obtained the honor roll without pretense of study or worry. Her attainments lie in other directions too, and the Hill is a warm rival of the Courant and the honor roll. 21
