The Abbot Circle 19 3 Smith Courant Board ' 30 Senior-Mid Plav ' 29 MIRIAM RAND New York City Two years Advisory Board ' 30 Senior Plav ' 30 Who would ever suspect Miriam of having a suppressed desire to sew? We hear that she sews beautifully too, but probably while her fingers are busy she is thinking up some very exciting story to startle the English class the next Saturday. She also has dramatic ability. Remember The Land of Heart ' s Desire last vear when she died so realistic- ally? Class Treasurer ' 27 Aeolian ' 30 MARY RICHARDS Andover, Massachusetts Four vears Fidelio ' 27, ' 28, 29 Senior Plav ' 30 We still frequently see that musical pair, Mary and Gert about the Abbot premises. Give us your recipe, won ' t you, Mary, for making such firm friendships as you do? We hear that Mistress Mary has friends in Lynn as well as in Andover, for surely all that mail of hers at Intervale couldn ' t have come from Andover. And how shall we explain a certain Pierce-Arrow, likewise not at all Andoverian? 27

Secretary-Treasurer ' 30 N :. .-.. - 1 Gargoyle Hockey Team ' 29, ' 30 Second Varsity Hockey Team ' 30 In our minds Chubby will always be connected with good looking clothes and tea dances and Proms on the hill . She certainly rates and we don ' t wonder. Not only in Andover either, because she seems to get quite a bit of mail from Brunswick. She is another one of our hockey players and we have heard a lot about her brilliaccv in math. : Senior-Mid Banquet Committee ' 29 President A. D. S. ' 30 A. D. S. Plav ' 30 FRANCES E. QLTNBY Bat :ord, Connecticut Two vears Senior-Mid Plav ' 29 A. D. S. 29. ' 30 Fidelio ' 30 5rr.ior Plav ' 30 We think Bettv and Barb make a pretty good team. At any rate, room 58 is a very popular place. And speaking of popu- larirv, the drawing room certainly is a nice place on Friday nights, isn ' t it Betty? Betty ' s fame lies in asking questions — especially in History of Art! We wonder if Barb carries an Encyclopedia with her. :-

How many times H delivered that ultimatum! We would hate to say how many times she has had to. In addition to being a good song leader she manages to land on the Honor Roll not far from the top. As for basketball, the Gargoyles begin to feel sick when the ball gets down at her end of the field. Oh, yes, we have heard that H has become an ardent dog fancier. ELEANOR WARREN RITCHIE £ Newton Center, Massachusetts Two years President Q. E. D. ' 30 Honor Roll ' 30 Centennial Pageant ' 29 Senior Play ' 30 Q. E. D. ' 29, ' 30 Prom Decoration Committee ' 29 Senior Banquet Committee ' 29 Business Manager Class Book ' 30 Posture Honor Roll ' 29 Discussion Group Leader ' 30 Red hair, a witty remark, snapping eyes — that is Eleanor, and much more than that too. She signed the contracts for the Class Book, and her help on the class book board was in- valuable. The Honor Roll would not have looked quite right without her name there. How could Q. E. D. have held debates without her holding the gavel? Then, if you should just happen to have heard gales of laughter on the third floor front some time, you can be pretty sure that Eleanor was somewhere around. 28
