MASSACHUSETTS DEDICATION For her lively spirit, and because of her readiness to encourage us; for her warmth and friendliness which have made our Senior year one of our best years at Abbot; for her sincerity and complete understanding; and because she has been cheerful and sympathetic always, we, the Senior Class, gratefully dedicate our yearbook to Miss Dorothy Duff. 121816 MARGUERITE CAPEX HEARSEY, Principal A.B. Hollins College; M.A. Radcliffe College; Ph.D. Yale University We have indeed missed Miss Hearsey this vear during her leave of absence from the school. Her presence and guid- ance were always a help and inspiration in our lives, both at Abbot and away. As she returns from a well-earned rest, we want to welcome her back to Abbot where she will always be loved and sincerely respected. Our hearts were with her during her absence and are filled with joy now that she is returning. [6] MISS TITTLE On Miss Hearsey ' s departure for her leave of absence from the school. Miss Lucile Tuttle, a former teacher in the English department at Abbot, returned to us to become Director of Resi- dence. At the very beginning of the year we marveled at the ra- pidity with which Miss Tuttle learned all our names, and as the year progressed we also saw how quickly she fitted into our lives and became to us a friendly, sympathetic and understanding adviser. She has gained our con- fidence and affection during this one short year among us. MISS SWEENEY In the absence of Miss Hear- sey, Miss Sweeney, in addition to her customary responsibilities as Director of Studies, has done a praiseworthy job as Acting Principal. The whole school has known a verv real sense of security in her quiet direction not only of our intellectual growth, but of our approach toward school life. Through her generous guid- ance we have been ever aware of the twinkling humor with which she has lent sparkle and gaiety to the serious moments of our Senior vear. [7 ▲k ryj PAULINE H.

Whether palmist, tea-leaf reader or crystal gazer, we all were eager to hear what the future held for us. To satisfy this mass curiosity we are holding an imaginary Senior meeting, and as our guest we shall have a crystal- gazer who will tell us how she sees the Senior Class of 1947, ten years hence. Ah ! She speaks . . . " As I gaze into my crystal ball I see the former Ann Aulis married and settled down, diligently reading government pamphlets on dairy farming which were put out by the Research Department headed by Pat Carroll, and writing the sequel to her last novel, the best seller since " Forever Amber. " Literary critic, Maud Savage, in her review is busily banning it in Boston. " My crystal is getting hazy. . .now an army camp comes into sight. Edith Flather is briskly drilling recruits. Inside the canteen DeeDee Olivers is giving an exhibition of that old fashioned dance, jitterbugging, while hostess Marion White passes sinkers to the as- sembled soldiers. Army wives Jane Lewis, Peggy Kimball, and Joy Kolins can be seen from the outside with their noses pressed against the window glaring at the entertainer. " I see strange unfamiliar lands in my crystal ball. Diane Gould, who superintends " Basselt ' s International Tours " is conducting through Europe the eager Class of 19.57. Passing through Paris, they see Hester Dignan madly painting the portrait of the Austrian countess, Barboura Flues. In Ireland they meet the former Skeeter Pierce, Lois Derby, and Bunty Goddard, all dressed appropriately in Kelly green. " lm-m-m-m, there seems to be a magazine taking shape in my crystal. The pages are flipping over slowly. . . on this page I see a plan for a very tempting meal with accompanying photographs. The reader is assured that it must be good as it has the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval from their chief dietician, Beverly DeCesare. In the index I see the prize win- ning novel in serial form written by the up-and-coming authoress, Carol McLean. . .1 read that the lovely gowns pictured on this page were created by the versatile B. J. French. . . across the page I see " She ' s engaged! She ' s lovely ' She uses Pond ' s, Joyce Huntington of [36] New Rochelle. " Here is an article telling of a national poll and naming the former Barbara Dean as one of the ten best-dressed women in the country. . on this page I see a full page color advertisement for shampoo " just right for ' strawberry blondes ' " modelled for by the former Dolly Sharp, now known as Chicago Cassie. ... On these pages I see portraits of well- known socialites: the former Barbara Turner, wife of a " promising Congressman who is ably following in his father ' s footsteps " ; the former Cynthia Austin, " gracious Southern lady entertaining at her sumptuous tobacco plantation " ; actress Janet Mclvor of the Broadway hit ' Aye, Lassie, ' and Sally Humason who is " wintering as usual in Sarasota. " " Now I see a narrow passage of water and among the meads by its bank, keeping up the choir tradition, I hear the former Jane Brown singing " low bridge. . . on the Erie ( ' anal " (Erie, that is). I see red; crimson permeates my crystal. It is clearing and I see the Harvard Campus and Sue Robbins, now married to a Harvard professor. She is pouring tea in her Cambridge home for her visitor, Gerry Treadway, now grey haired and bespectacled from her years of study for her Ph.D. in Philosophy at Harvard and writing articles for Time in her spare hours. They are talking about Ann Clemens, Congresswoman from Wisconsin, who has been making the headlines lately by delivering stirring speeches in Washington on the merits of her state, and of their plans to hear Janice Cole at Symphony Hall that night in the premiere performance of her violin concerto. On the way to the concert I see them go into a smart dress shop owned and managed by Joan Karelitz, where they run into Emily Gierasch who has come into Boston to buy a dress suitable for the Faculty Tea she is having at her home in Andover the following week. Expected to be present are Chris von Goeben, new head of the Math department at Phillips, Alden Obering, now head of the Spanish department at Abbot, and Helen Dowd, wife of the headmaster. " The scene changes to the Vermont countryside, Putney to be exact, where I see Jo Campbell and Margot Meyer, who is visiting her from Burlington, lumbering along in a truck on their way to help Nancy Hamilton harvest her fruit. En route they come upon a bus from Peck ' s Transportation Service. The owner alights proudly displaying a new medal for defeating Barney Oldfield. " Now the skyscrapers of N. Y. C. are taking place in my crystal. In the merging traffic we discern a careening cab, at the wheel of which is recognized Ann ' Mac ' Chandler, coon- skin cap pulled low over her eyes, incognito, studying life, as background for her next great epic poem. In the back seat we see " life " in the form of B. A. Mitchell and escort. Seemingly blinded by the hat, ' Mac ' barely misses a ladder leaning against the Four Roses Advertise- ment. On the uppermost rung I distinguish Donna Kinneman calling across to Lo White perched similarly on the Camels sign opposite, " La. . .1 did not know they were attached so firmly. " " Around the corner on Broadway they whiz under the marquee where Nancy Brum- back ' s name is prominently displayed in lights. " Pulling up to the curb is a huge limousine, and I see the former Pat Jaffer and Mary Emery disdainfully regarding the N. Y. plebeians as they gingerly make their way to " Tuck- er ' s 21 " whose motto in gilded letters greets them at the door. . . " Well kids, you may think you ' re sophisticated, but. . . . " They gaze through a haze of smoke and see Mouse Morse Carmichael at the piano accompanying the sultry rendition of Sylvia Lyford ' s " Kerry Dance. " Dining at a nearby table, I see the up-and-coming journalist, Jean Ritchey, awaiting an interview with the world travelers, Carolyn Sackett and Millie Kreis, recently returned from Europe. They bring news of Virginia Eason, recently married to an Indian, Dartmouth variety, and converting the heathens of Oklahoma. The smoke clears and in a corner table we see Jean Marsh, Mackie Hall, and Nancy Barnard. Jean regales Mackie and Nancy with tales of Marblehead where she has been spending all her spare time. Mackie is buying her trousseau, and having a last fling before settling down to married life, while Barnard fills in the lurid details of her permanent romance. " " Now I see a blank and then a book slowly appearing. It is grasped by two well kept hands. The book is " The Lost Week-end " avidly perused by our own N.J.S. " On these words the meeting is adjourned. ( " P.S. I see Ann Aulis, Carolyn Sackett, Helen Dowd, Jean Marsh, Diane Gould, Jane Brown, Edith Flather, Nancy Scripture, and Mary Emery voted nine of the ten most beautiful women in the world; Lena the Hyena being the tenth.

There would be the Prom, and there would be vacancies in Fidelio for us to fill, and the Senior places at tables at the end of the year when the Seniors had moved to their own tables, and a number of other hearten- ing privileges. Besides, there would be new Senior-Mids com- ing into our group with whom we would eventually graduate. We greeted a large number of new classmates, as a matter of fact, who very soon became part of us. One of these new additions was elected our president for the second -semester term of office. We chose a special shade of red for our class sweaters which we proudly wore for the first time, according to a long-standing tradition, to the Senior play. 42 We rather enjoyed the experi- ence of being the oldest class al Ahhot while the Seniors were off at Intervale. The news reports were our entire responsibility. . .a trying experience sometimes. The silent but barely repressed levity on the part of our audience was often disconcerting as we stum- bled over Russian names that sounded like violent sneezing. Abbot ' s Birthday Bazaar was another milestone in our history. We all got terrific brainstorms over our booths and madly sorted change the rest of the time. Some of that money would go to sick and needy students in other parts of the world. We managed the distribution and sewing for the Hindman Christ- mas dolls. . .a field day for our Betsv Rosses.

We joined the Senior-Mids and the Juniors in dressing dolls for the Hindman Settlement, and felt a twinge of pride when the letter was read in chapel expressing the chil- dren ' s gratitude for the Christinas boxes we had sent. We were also included in the lists of those giving the news of current events in chapel even though our knees shook.

We certainly displayed our tal- ents as dressmakers in the fall, for it was a member of our class that won the first prize with her doll ' s clothes for the Hindman Settlement .

Why, it ' s the Preps ' first night at Abbot. As our bruised shins mended after fall- ing over chairs in the sudden dark, we found out about the life here at Abbot. Besides participating in school activities, we had our own gay life in Abbev. Not many of us will forget the parties and play- ful arguments as to who should sweep up the cracker crumbs . . . that is, if there were any to sweep. Of course the dav scholars were not excluded, many times we all sat around in envy, as thev told us about their care- free life outside the school. Well. Abbot, this is only the beginning.

Goddard, President of Student Government Around a table in the mys- terious ' room on the fourth floor, ' sit a group of girls in earnest conversation. This is the Student Government Council, headed by Bunty Goddard. Student Government enjoys its part in the administrative affairs of the school. . .in such matters as the Rating System, the election of student officers, and the constant advising with Miss Sweeney and Miss Tuttle where the maintenance of Abbot standards is concerned. The underlying aim in the Student Government Associa- tion is to strengthen democratic processes by awakening in each student a desire to share respon- sibility with and for the group in which she moves. [50] The Abbot Christian Associa- tion has continued its splendid efforts in helping to bring hap- piness and cheer to many people less fortunate than we. The dolls for Hindman Settlement, the Christinas party for underpriv- ileged children of Andover, and Christinas baskets for the Old Folks ' Home, are examples of how the association works. We see it at Abbot too, in the Old Girl-New Girl party at the open- ing of the year, and in lovely chapel services conducted at in- tervals throughout the year by the Christian Association. A.C.A. unites us and our con- tributions to charitable institu- tions such as the Red Cross, and thus A.C.A. gives us a sincere feeling of having aided in worthy causes. a. c. A. COUNCIL A.C.A.

We realized the great sin- cerity of effort in the long hours of work, the careful reading and re- reading that has produced such a notable magazine. We believe, therefore, that our magazine re- flects the best literary products of which the girls are capable. Credit must be given to the Courant board who, working har- moniouslv and enthusiastically to- ward the inescapable deadline, brought out two laudable issues of our school magazine. [52] Yearbook Ever since we heard ourselves named as the editors of the Abbot Circle our motto has been, ' the yearbook ' s the thing! ' Under the direction of Ann Aulis, editor-in- chief, the book began to take shape very soon after midyears. After that, it was like this: " Scrip, the drawings are due . . . Dowdie will help Edie . . . Em, you write up the sports. . .Any ideas, Diane?. . . Jean, bring in the snapshots to- morrow, will you? ' And here is the result !

With the aid of the Misses Bavnes, Grassi, Roth, and Wilkinson, they take all the world ' s responsibilities on their shoulders. After each topic is thoroughly torn apart, the find- ings are presented at an open forum on some Saturday night. Although obviously unable to sat- isfy everyone ' s desires to solve the situation, whatever it may be, the Forums are thought -provoking and worth while. The sixteen members of the choir, under the direction of Miss Friskin, sing at vespers every Sun- day. After church is over down in the village, and after supper in the evening the choir rehearses their anthems in the chapel. Then too, the choir leads the morning chapel service, remaining during the re- cessional while the students and faculty march out. Their outstand- ing contribution at the commence- ment services adds greatly to the dignitv and beauty of these tradi- tional exercises. Choir Back Row: M. L. White, Goddard, N.

White Librarian: Pierce Accompanists: Morse, Muessel Fidelio Very shortly after the tryout, the Fidelio list was posted and the 1946-47 season started. We elected Mary Lo White president and Mary Pierce librarian. Later Martha Morse and Marv Muessel were chosen our accompanists. With Mr. Howe as leader, it was not long before strains of familiar Thanksgiving and Christmas hymns rang out from Abbot Hall as Fidelio was preparing to lead the school in the traditional cere- monial singing for these two im- portant events in our school year. At the same time, we were working on our repertoire for the concerts we were to have during the winter and spring terms. . . the first with Governor Duramer and the second with Phillips Ex- eter. Contrary to rumor Governor Dummer arrived with an even larger club than our own. The concert was a great success, and the dance following was the climax of a gay evening. On April 19 we traveled to Exeter for our second concert. The boys gave us a good time, and our part of the concert was better than with Governor Dummer because of the additional time for practice. Spring came, and as is the cus- tom Seniors stepped out, and gave their places to " new Fidelio. " For the Seniors, it was the end of an interesting and enjoyable year of choral work and we would not have missed it for any thing! [55] ' Green Stockings " The Abbot Dramatic Society, led by Dee Dee Olivers, has given enjoyment both to its members and to its audiences. " Green Stockings " was an interesting Eng- lish comedv. Ye ' ll always remem- ber Nancv as Celia, not to mention Clem as the tipsy aunt, and the romance of Joyce and Deedee. Mrs. Gray, our director, worked wonders. The Seniors showed their dra- matic ability in Sir James M. Barrie ' s " Quality Street. " Jean was " Phoebe of the ringlets, " and Em was her handsome " follower, " Valentine Brown.

" When the curtain closed on the quaint and dainty atmosphere of Susan ' s ' blue and white room, " we again realized that we were really Seniors; it had meant a lot to us that our play was a success. We were all very proud to see three of our class chosen for the French play, " Les Jours Heureux, " which was given at Phillips Acad- emy with three of the Phillips boys playing opposite the girls. Draper Dramatics will come through with cheers in the presen- tation of ' The Tempest " as the commencement play, just as it has done in previous years. THE PRINCIPALS . . Ritchey, M. Emery, J.

COUNCIL Back Row: Clemens, Campbell, Derby, President: Huntington, Morse Front Row: Karelitz, Emery The school is divided into two teams. . .the Gargoyles and the Griffins symbolized bv Lister and Gus respectively. The competi- tion includes organized sports and games. Field Day exhibitions, pos- ture work, and walks. The A. A. A. this year, under the direction of Lois Derby, has helped to set a new high in competition and sportsmanship at Abbot. We are grateful to Miss Macdonald and Miss Elrov. not onlv for their energetic leadership, but for their vivid posters which we grew to look forward to from one event to another. The A. A. A. Council decided this vear to use the system of walks for extra points, and everyone entered in enthusiastically because these points brought closer our much de- sired numerals, A ' s, and blazers.

Barnard | .-,!» | Sports Sports got oft ' to a good start in the fall with the help of fine weath- er. Archery was again a major sport. October vigor produced a great many minor injuries, and prior to Field Day the infirmary crutches were positively in de- mand. However. November 16 dawned bright and clear, and evervone seemed to be on deck for the battle. Shouts, cheers, and bitter threats sounded over the campus all day. and there were many tense moments until evening when at the final rallv in the Gym, Miss Sweenev announced the scores, presented the awards, and gave the score of the victorious team in the lead at that date. Old Man Winter failed us mis- erably this year for there was no snow until the beginning of Feb- ruary when we dragged out our skis for about a week ' s work-out before the snow left us. However, the tennis courts were flooded for skating, and one moonlit Saturday night, many eager beavers braved the cold for their favorite sport. A big log fire blazed on the sidelines, and there was singing among the Griffin Hockey Team Gargoyle Hockey Team Griffin Basketball Team Gargoyle Basketball Team [60] more advanced skaters who could do both at once! For indoor sports (of the legiti- mate sort) during the winter we had Gvm and Dance. Dance proved to be a bit rigorous too, but we were all impressed with the presentation of ' Peter and the Wolf " at the exhibition just before the spring holiday. Spring at Abbot inevitably means baseball, track, and more tennis. The hockev field is scat- tered with javelins and baseball bats every afternoon as the Gar- goyles and the Griffins are cheered on by illicit P. A. onlookers only slightly concealed in the near-by shrubberv. The spring Field Day was a success despite the fact that the spring term was shorter than usual because of the late vacation date. From then on to the end of the season, many points were added to the striving teams. The system works, and when the magnificent mahogany and silver shield is awarded, we will know that the spirit of our two leaders, Joyce for Griffins and Jo for Gargoyles, each backed by their teammates has made this another good year of sports at Abbot.
