Because of her loving and never- f ailing interest in us. and because of her real sincerely, we, the Class of 19Jf,8, affectionately dedicate our yearbook to Miss Dorothy Baker. ANDOVL ' R -TRACK 11 MADAME ABBOT RETURNS When 1 arrived back at Abbot in 1943 after many decades, I was as bewildered as the rest of the Preps because Abbot had changed so! Calling hour! Dancing! Lip- stick! Those gym suits! But the spirit is the same and the traditions have grown to something deep and rich. [5] MARGUERITE CAPEX HEARSEY When Miss Hearsey returned last June, we all looked forward to September and this school year. To Seniors, it meant Sunday-night suppers at Sunset and in- spiring poetry classes. To the underclass- men, the renewal of an acquaintance with inexhaustible energy and a bright per- sonality. The new girls found a friend with special interest in each of them. To us all. her return meant another vear with ■ a leader who has made us cherish Abbot. [6] ALICE CURTISS SWEENEY She seemed formidable to us as new- girls, but we soon discovered her genuine interest in each of us and her willingness to help us. Understanding us so well, she helped us to become aware of our limita- tions and our potentialities. Vse will ever be grateful for her thoughtful advice about our school life as Director of Studies. Her interpretations of plays and essays and her penetrating comments as our teacher, and her kind and subtle humor will always be with us.

I felt important with all the privileges that seemed so new to me, but I soon discovered seniors merited them through hard work and by accepting new responsibilities. Nevertheless, I think that noth- ing can top the life of a senior at Abbot. [17] In Which We Say Good-bye This year of 1948 was ■ marked by many world • • shaking events. . .we re- turned to Abbot as full fledged Seniors; ours was the task to set a good ex- ample for the rest of the school; it was our bright chitchat which was to liven up dreary breakfast tallies; v ' safl these were our new respon- sibilities, but there were also new privileges . . . we be- came the custodians of the Senior Parlor and the sole owners of the Parlor ' s Bos- ton Herald: we carried the scarlet banner to the white sands of Ipswich Beach; Boston was invaded by hordes of high-heeled Sen- iors taking advantage of their new-found freedom. Our talent was displayed in ' I Have Five Daugh- ters " . . . December six- teenth we received Abbots Christinas present, the em- blem of Seniorhood. our rings. . .the next day we departed for Christinas Va- cation. Intervale was a welcome relief for our exam-weary brains, and even to the non-skiing mem- bers of our class. Intervale was indeed a " little bit of heaven. ' ' College Boards found us fondly dreaming of non-C. B. requiring uni- versities. The middle of April brought the substitu- tion of Emily Post for drearv textbooks, our last Abbot Prom was nearly upon us. . .everything at the prom was as it should have been as we danced under the scarlet banner. Then came graduation weekend with its Senior Banquet. Garden Party. Baccalaureate, mothers, fa- thers, uncles and aunts. As we made our last official trip to the South Church, our emotions were mixed, we felt pride in the accom- plishments of the past years and a sense of greater re- sponsibility for the future but overshadowing all was a deep sadness, for we were saying good-bye.

Our Scarlet Banner proudly waves on high; It stands for purpose clear and courage true, For spirit, loyalty and friendship ever new. And when the Class of Forty-Eight has gone, The things she stood for will still linger on; So all the best in us we ' ll dedicate To the Class of Forty -Eight!

We scaled Mount Cranmore (in the Skimobile) and, despite an icy slope, weren ' t too uncomfortable from bruises and twisted knees. We won- der, though, if the handsome members of the Ski Patrol got tired of picking us up from the sides of the moun- tain and whether the schuss- boomers broke any bones over our numerous bath- tubs. We returned to our haven at Russell ' s each night and although our ap- petites were ferocious, there was always more food than we could eat and afterwards a bridge game and a warm fire. The time to leave came much too soon, but as all good things must come to an end, we paid our fare- wells and caught our train amid thoughts tinged with laughter and longing.

Russell, Hughes, Cooper, DuBois [44] The Student Government is the group of girls, headed this year by " Lish " Cooper, who take part in the administration of the school. They represent the stu- dent body where the Rating System, election of student offi- cers, and maintenance of Abbot standards are concerned. The underlying aim of the Student Government in addition to main- taining discipline and school spirit, is to develop in the stu- dents a sense of responsibility for those about them. This vear our particular aim has been to strengthen the Rating System, and to let a larger number of students participate in the school government. This year A.C.A. with the help of W.S.S.F. has continued to work, both in Andover and in places far away, to aid some of the relief organizations, and at Abbot to try to keep the whole school aware of the hunger and nakedness which it might help to alleviate. We have been kept busy from the beginning of the year, right up to the party given at Christmas for the underpriv- ileged children of Andover. CARE packages have been going- out right along, and the Christ- mas dolls for Hindman left on time. Ye hope, by these small but varied services, to do some- thing to ameliorate the suffering so rampant in the world. A.C.A.

Miss Hearsey expressed our feelings with regard to our sudden loss when she spoke of Mrs. Gray in Chapel after the news of her death came to us. She told of her long service to Abbot, of her coming to the faculty in 1917, and of her constant devotion and en- thusiasm for her work here. Mrs. Gray started A.D.S. soon after she came, and had directed A. D. S. ADS.

She undertook each new play with complete absorption and a tireless determination to make it the best she had yet put on. Her chief con- tribution, however, came not in these dramatic productions as a whole but in the help and inspira- tion she gave individual girls. This year ' s play, " Outward Bound " , was one which Mrs. Gray long wanted to see presented by her societv. It had been cast at the time of her death and was later given as a reading. A.D.S. owes much to its president, Salley Ma- cartney, who took charge of it. The reading was something Mrs. Gray would have been proud to hear.
