" No, these were not the words of Charles, roping off the circle, but of our own Dyer in the famous role of a praetorian guard. We can never forget her successful pre- sentation of that role in the Senior-Mid plays and later in the Draper Dramatics. Helen has starred in athletics as well as in dramatics. As head of riding and of the " A " Society, she has been a capable leader. Favorite tricks of Helen ' s are hand springs, cart wheels and fancy skating — she does these admirably — much to the amusement of the spectators. Last, but not least, she is a member of the very exclusive " Bachelor ' s Club " . KATHERINE MAUDE FARLOW " Kay " " Tommy " Andover, Massachusetts Five years Arm Band ' 22 Hockey Team ' 23, ' 24, ' 25, ' 26 " A " Society ' 23, ' 24, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27 Hockey numerals ' 23, ' 24, ' 25, ' 26 Captain Hockey Team ' 27 Athletic Council ' 26 Winter Carnival Committee ' 27 What? Did Kay go to that Tech dance last night! But she was always wide awake, es- pecially for hockey practice in the afternoon. Kay was one of our fastest hockey players as well as the captain; she is noted for her speedy dashes from goal to goal midst mud and puddles on the field. Kay kept up training by daily walking that mile — we do not doubt, some- times running it — between her home and Abbot. 15

The Abbot Circle 19 2 7 LOUISE PIERCE DeCAMP ' ' Decern " Winchester, Massachusetts Three years Fidelio ' 25, ' 26 Choir ' 26, ' 27 Treasurer A. A. A. ' 27 Athletic Council ' 26, ' 27 Posture Honor Roll ' 26, ' 27 Bible Group Leader ' 26 Posture Committee ' 26 Baseball numerals ' 26 Basketball numerals ' 25, ' 26, ' 27 " Emma " ! Shortly after hearing this familiar name, we usually see Decern appearing in one of her frequent searches for Ruth. Decern does not, however, spend all her time hunting. Many mornings we hear her warbling forth from the music room, rehearsing for her next public appearance. We always look forward to her solo with great anticipation. But Decern has a tendency to contract a cold on the Friday eve- ning before the recital. The few times that she has failed to convince authorities that she had a cold, we have enjoyed her singing. We advise " Smith Brothers " , Decern! GERTRUDE HOLLEY DRUMMOND " Gertie " Bronxville, New York Three years Hockey numerals ' 25 English V Plays ' 25 Honor Roll ' 25, ' 27 Smith Vice-President Class ' 25 A. D. S. ' 26, ' 27 A. D. S.

Answer: Gertie. And we are seldom disappointed as she seems to have an endless supply of knowledge and skill. Gertie is also one of our tennis stars; it was with the help of her steady game that we were able to tie Brad- ford this fall. Her ambition is to become a surgeon, and, as she usually succeeds in all that she attempts, we are expecting great operations. Go to it, Gertie! 14

This year, as vice-president of Stu. G., she helped Mini make the school run smoothly. Ellen sings well — few people realize this fact, for she " hides her light under a bushel. " For three years she has played wing on the hockey team — it won ' t seem the same without her. Ellen is going abroad this summer with Emily Lyman — that is a combination that needs no explanation! We know they will have rare experiences. JANE DARE FITCH New London, Connecticut Connecticut Three years Class Basketball Team ' 25, ' 26, ' 27 Posture Honor Roll ' 26, ' 27 Entertainment Committee ' 26 Secretary-Treasurer Les Beaux Arts ' 26, 27 Jane is a portrait herself. Just look at that face. Then look further; you will find that she can draw portraits too. How many pieces of charcoal has Jane transformed into striking likenesses of the girls? Go into the homes of Abbot girls, and count the neat drawings framed over their mothers ' tables! We ' re look- ing forward to a rare exhibition in the John Esther Art Gallery, Jane! 16
