r II E SAX 1 F R AG E 1 9 2 3 MARCELLA GRACE BOYLE ()S1 Pleasanl Street A Leominster, Mass. ' My quest is knowledge more industrious and conscientious girl ilian Grace can nowhere be found. Study! Study! Study! All her energy is spent in searching for knowledge in one place or another. Unable to absorb all she wished in a two-years ' course, Grace lias de- cided to remain for the advanced course. Of all the branches of knowledge she pursues, her favorite is art and her work is a good example of Iter interest. We may yet find her works of art hanging in one of our leading galleries. Day Student ' s Council; Hiking. HAZEL BRADLEE Littleton, Mass. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Hazel is one of the quiet, demure, little girls, who always does her work and is ever ready to help others do theirs. She came to live at the dorm for awhile, but we understand she has outside interests and that is why she left us so soon. But for all her quietness she is full of fun and delights in whiling away the time on train 78, playing Truth or Consequences. We shall always remember her ability in story-telling and we are sure, Hazel, that your pupils will enjoy your stories as much as we did. The best of luck is the wish of ' 23 for- you. Hiking; Glee Club. ELEANORE MARGARITE BRAGDON Littleton, Mass. Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time. Eleanore will some day be a valued employee of the United States Government. She has a method of camouflage which is singularly her own. At a distance she might pass for any one of her friends. Clothes may make a man, hut they don ' t make Eleanore. Various branches of science have attracted her in- terest — aforementioned camouflage, nature study, the upbuilding of humanity, and vocal training. If speech was made to conceal thought, Eleanore gives plenty of proof that she thinks a great deal. However, she is one of our, sweetest girls, always ready with a smile; and Oh! by the way, El, ' Ain ' t nature grand? Hiking ; Glee Club. 22

THE SAXIFRAGE 1923 RALPH MAURICE KILLELEA 352 Mill Street Aye, without doubt, man is a Leominster, Mass. wonder. This student has been a sage advisor to many who have been perplexed or undecided on some portion of their school work. When in trouble, one could always expect good advice and sound judgment from Ralph. He has a personality that easily makes friends of both faculty and students, despite the fact that he has acted as revenue officer for the class for two years. He has a method of exacting tolls, without producing any hard feelings. It is rumored that he was seen going to Palmer Mall nearly every evening in the summer of ' 22, for good reasons ; but he says that it was only to apply for a position as houseman. He is known to his comrades as the man with a roll. Treasurer Senior Class; Glee Club. THELM [DELLE BACON 251 South Street Fitchburg, Mass. She hath a daily beauty in her In.-. Thelma is one of our bright lights who just naturally shines. As a leader she excels, whether il be in the classic . in. oul hiking, or as President of the Student Governmenl for the day girls. We shall not forgel this friend, for her sunnj disposition has made her one well worth remembering. We may well say of her as was said of Desdemona, She is so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition, that she holds ii a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested. Glee Club; Saxifrage Hoard; Hiking; President of Day Students ' Government Council. RUTH BELLE lib WIN 17 Pleasant Street Baldwinville, Mass. Give me knowledge. If you should hear a Senior frantically ask, Do you know tomorrow ' s assignment? it ' s safe to say, Ask Ruth Blamy, she ' s sure to know, which means much more than it seems. When we see a girl like Ruth, jolly and fun-loving, but also diligent and ambitious, we are inclined to feel ashamed. Ruth has onl) spenl one term here, bul our acquaintance, because ol its shortness, has lost none of its sweetness. Ruth is quiti a debater and would be famous if some of those debates in Suite 2 could have been given to the general public. 1 [iking ; I rice ' lub,

THE SAXIFRAGE 1923 GRACE ELIZABETH BROW X 71 Spring Street West Springfield, Mass. Dark hair, dark eyes, a tempting combination. If one believes in the reincarnation of souls, it is easy to v picture Grace as Cleopatra or some other languorous beauty of olden days. She is stunning either as a gypsy maiden or as an ultra-modern flapper. Grace was an active member of the Gym Club during her Junior year, and as a Trainor she was a ureal success. Psychology seems to attract her, and the learned dis- sertations in that class will long be remembered, if not under- stood. Grace is a third floor Palmer Hallite, which means that she is a jolly sport, always rearly for a good time, with quantities of pep. The shadow in this case is Sweetheart Peg. Dramatics; Glee Club; Treasurer G. A. A. ' 22; Senior Coun- cil. KATHERINE I.I- ' . ' INA BUCKLEY 11 Portland Street Fitchburg, Mass. On with the game! Behold! We have in our midst an all-round athlete who can- not l e surpassed. [Catherine is that wmder. Her chief desire is to be a basket ball star. If practice makes perfect and per- fection is all that is needed, she will surely attain her end. Even a broken finger couldn ' t keep her from practice for more than a few days. Not willing to keep all of her I ' .. 1 ' .. knowledge I her- self, she coached some Junior High School -iris until they, too, could play a line game. .Voted for her guarding. Girls ' Basket Ball. HAZEL VERONH A BURNS 201 ( irove Street Clinton. Mas A maiden fair with curly hair. If you are ever in doubt as to the doings of oysters, just ask Hazel, she knows all about them. Though she doesn ' t talk a great deal around Normal, we hear that she is quite the revi in iter home town. We think that she believes that silence is golden in I ' . N. S. However, we will forgive her, for she is a very sympathetic listener to those who must talk. A good lis iciht is worth ten who talk nonsense. Noted for her pretty hair and petiteness.
