Across long years I see You pause to smile at wind-carved clouds; Your voice drifts back to me Quoting some lovely lyric line Of verse I had not known, But that it stirring you, stirred me And thenceforth was my own. You made no cult of beauty. Quite human things you did, Endearing you to us the more. We chortled when you slid Your textbooks down the laundry chute, Pronged cucumber in tea, Unnoticing, and dreaming, walked Against a startled tree. You gave me zest for .beauty. Now in gull-flight or star, In the churned wake of lunging ship, In firelight you are Revealed to me — in chapel bells, In meadow-scent and snow. . . . You must have come into your own At last, who loved it so! —Graduate of 1915 ■ ■ :■ ■:■■.: •cv?

Our Alma Mater soon we ' ll leave In different groups we ' ll be, A memory chest we ' ll keep in mind, A ring will be the key. This little ring with letters two Inscribed thereon in gold — What retrospective happiness This little ring will hold! — Elise Duncan 7t££ c ona From this familiar earth we Seniors lift a clod, And here with reverent hands plant deep within the sod A slender, silver birch tree, symbolic of the ties Which we have made at Abbot, here, beneath New England skies. Its roots, entwined, will firmly fold a memory in each heart, That never will be broken — though we are far apart. It stands exposed to winter ' s storms and summer ' s gentle rain, Its golden leaves will drift in fall, but come back once again With glorious approach of spring and, blooming, thrive anew, So leaving now we plant this birch, — our loyal love for you. — Jeanne Sawyer 47 The Abbot Circle 938 ( Laa cz7ji±.toxu Long years ago we entered Through the Abbot Gate To gain some further knowledge To face our future fate. We gazed in wide-eyed wonder At mighty Seniors tall, We meekly opened doors And hardly spoke at all. The next year we were Juniors, All full of confidence; With grammar grim we struggled We learned to ride and fence. As Junior-Mids we battled With Caesar and the Gauls; And much to our amazement, Had Friday evening calls! Returning the next autumn We found Miss Hearsey here, Whose smile was inspiration; Who helped us through the year. Our plays, so long-awaited, Were given with success; And then our yellow sweaters Which we liked — more or less! Soon came the prom and tea dance, Oh! thou dear heart, be still. And then our own class picnic And bonfire on Pomps hill. Too soon, alas, ' twas our turn To be the Seniors tall; We got our longed-for parlor — Our porch — and that ' s not all! To Intervale we ' ve been now; To Boston for the day; We ' ve eaten at Baronial, And had our Senior Play. Oh moment full of triumph When each received her ring! What memories of Abbot To her mind will it bring? And now at last Commencement — For larger lives we yearn, And leave behind us school days That never will return. As Abbot we are leaving We sigh for what is past; For deepest pleasure is the theme Of days that went too fast. 48 The Abbot Circle 19 38 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer znlox VylddLz ( La±fL OFFICERS Carolyn Fisher, Katharine Harris Carol Parker, Audrey Rugg Jean Appleby, Eleanor Martin- Barbara Bobst, Polly Pancoast Bobbie Scanlan, Marjorie MacMullen Student Government Representatives SENIOR-MID SONG Thirty-nine is marching on, Banners on high — We will swing along together, Sing her praises forever and aye.

I ask Thee for a thoughtful love Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, And to wipe the weeping eyes: And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize. Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoever estate, I have a fellowship of hearts To keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do For the Lord on whom I wait. So I ask Thee for the daily strength To none that ask denied, And a mind to blend with outward life While keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space If Thou be glorified. 78 The Abbot Circle 938 czTjuljot Jj f iamatLe ociztu Presented on December 10, 1937 OVERTONES A Satire by Alice Gerstenberg Characters Harriet, a cultured woman .... .......

Now in a philanthropic state of mind we endow these worthy organizations as follows: To the Salvation Army we present the Junior League (the aspiration of some of us) To the dust chute our insipid, jaundiced sweaters To the P. W. A. our Senior couches which we do not want To the Senior-Mids all hash sessions (knowing full well they won ' t need them!) To the Senior-Mids our master minds (although we know they don ' t want them! ). Finally, feeling that we would not be keeping our class unified without a few of our idiosyncrasies, we refuse to surrender our most distinguished possessions: The conflagration of the " Bellevue " (what a view!) The attraction of the " Normandie " for anyone who wants an extra two-weeks vacation All memories of the eve of the Senior-Mid Plays (in Room No. 10). " Frances Crassmore, " who would be lost at Abbot without our invigorating influence " lulus " too, whom we take with us in our Class Book Last but not least, our noticeable individuality in times of calamity.
