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-

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

Who said the modern girl doesn't eat? Betty frankly admits she likes eating, anywhere at anytime. She likes good-looking clothes, especially when there is a touch of orange somewhere about them. She finds history and art very interesting. One of her aims is to meet Constance Bennett sometime. Betty is always active and likes to see other people the same way. Cheer up, Betty, soon there will be no more odious notebooks. 3 ANNE ADELAIDE CONNORS 667 Union Street, Springfield, Mass. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 1. Baseball 1. Basketball 1. Girl Scouts 2, 3. Gardening Club 1. Class Treas- urer 4. Class Vice-President 3. Secretary-Treas- urer Dormitory Council 4. Dormitory Council 3, 4. Wfoodward House Board 3. Who is R. S.? Well, anyway, Anne likes R. S. And that isn't all. There are week-ends, spreads, books, movies, rolls, and what not among her weaknesses. Anne dislikes counting money because she is so tired of handling all that Class A money. Inspection, math, and notebooks are among her strongest dislikes, and roller coasters, too. We wonder why. Anne has the personality, the smile, and the cheery word which endears her to all. , VIRGINIA CUNNINGHAM 8 Myrtle Street, Middleboro, Mass. junior Representative from Gates 1. Secretary-Treasurer of Social Activities Committee 2. Secretary of junior Class 3. President of Student Cooperative Association 4. Dormitory Council 4. Between student government work and entertaining Tom- my, Ginny's time is pretty well taken up. She has no fear of eating, even candy, for she just won't put on weight. Music, football, reading, driving and waltzing with Tommy are for Ginny divine. As a history teacher she is outstanding. Knowing her, we understand why she abhors pretense and math of any sort, especially counting the minutes 'til 9.45: Detective stories are not on her book list and she refuses to hurry. Does she like permanents? Ask her. 26
