l93l NORMAL OFFERING DOROTHY BOOTHBY 26 Wfoodlawn Street, Randolph, Mass. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2. French Club 3, 4. Day Student Council 4. Soccer 2, 3. NVho dares to say that the normal, wholesome American girl has disappeared? Here's Dot, who admits she enjoys eating, country life, dancing, dramatics, freedom of speech and Normal School, and who has no use for hypocrisy, park- ing, formality, conceit, race prejudice, and pistachio nuts. Doesn't she prove they're all wrong? EDITH BOTTOM LEY 625 june Street, Fall River, Mass. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. W'e had the best week-end riding up over the Mohawk Trail! Yes, it's Edith who said that, for she likes nothing better than to spend week-ends and vacations picnicking and riding. But how she hates getting up for the early train back here on Monday morning. Her fine mathematical mind is especially helpful to her in playing bridge, for it is almost uncanny how she remembers every card. Drop in to Room 34 and you'll find Edith-always listening to music,-l1old- ing open house. DORA LOUISE BUKER 341 Liberty Street South Braintree Mass Here's a girl we know only from the way those day student friends of hers sing her praises. We had judged her to have a quiet sense of humor from the funny little quirk about her mouth when Mr. Hunt makes some of his dryly comical re- marks, and we believe because she likes candy, children, music, movies, and peaches, and dislikes cold weather, shop- ping, and dry lectures, that she is an intensely human person. 24

CLASSES MARIAN ROSE BALBONI 58 Spring Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Hockey 1, 2, 3. Dramatic Club 3, 4. Bowling 2, 4. Soc- cer 3. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. French Club 1, 2. Cagnpus Comment, Assistant Advertising Manag- er . lVIarion's ideas live up to the dark, vivid, sophisticated per- son that she is on the surface. She likes the theatre, art, crowds, style, and-paradoxically-the sea, she dislikes orders, prejudices, and cold weather. Well, well, who doesn't? DGRIS MAE BICKNELL BARBARA BEESLEY 424 Springfield Street, Chicopee, Mass. Glee Club 1, 2. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Scouts 1, 2, 3. Treasurer 2, 3. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 4. Baseball 1, 2, 3. Social Activities Committee Chairman 4. Vice President, Student Council 4. Inter-Club Council 4. Student Council 4. A It is hard to think of any dance or social without Barbara. Her activities show her ability in musical lines. Barbara is fond of all sports. She heartily dislikes getting up for break- fast, having creamed eggs, or coming in at eight o'clock. The laughing light of her eyes shows forth the merry, carefree disposition which has made her such a popular girl and such a lovable friend. 521 Pawlmg Avenue, Troy, New York. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Gardening Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Secretary 3. Choir 1, 2, 3. Gates House President 4. Dormitory Council 4. Social Activities Committee 2. Class Representative 1. Volley Ball 3. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Can you imagine a dormitory president who dislikes rules and regulations. Doris belongs to that rare class. She has a weakness for dancing, singing, and walking. Her activities in sports are well known to all of us. She didn't need to tell us that she liked dark men, but We should like to know just what she has against New York State. She is entirely without selfishness or conceit and does not like to find these qualities in others. 23

CLASSES MARY GRACE CHILDS 1259 South Street, Bridgewater, Mass. French Club 1. Hockey 2. Vice-President Pro and Con 2. Class Editor Normal Offering 2. Camera Club 4. Literary Editor Normal Offering 4. That Mary enjoys reading Barchester Towers and the other Trollope novels may explain the charming, lilting quality of her poetry and her love of the purple-shadowed mountains of Vermont. Since she thinks gym classes, rice, and Carl Sandburg a waste of time, we have this individual person who anticipates every down of the football season, communes with a certain beautiful painting of a river, and writes her own novel. BARBARA EVELYN CLAPP CONSTANCE AILEEN CHURCH 1431 Washington Street, South Braintree, Mass. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2. Bowling 2, 4. Hockey 1. Archery 2. Tall, athletic, graceful Connie! Of course dancing and sports come first on her list of likes, but how account for a fondness for books of travel, odd jewelry, pottery, and-now we are surprised-a dislike for men as a class? 28 Ellis Street, Brockton, Mass. Library Club 4. Camera Club 4. Bowling 4. Barbara says she likes life, and after being with her for three years we know she does. You will almost always End her wherever there is a merry crowd, for she doesn't like being alone. Barbara has much of that vitality that she admires in others. If you want to be friendly with her, don't tease her, or order her about. She is going to find a school that doesn't make people go out in cold weather, but only has short summer sessions, 25-
