•2. Eleanor Hoffmann Jeannette Gormley Patricia Boreham THE LOW FOUR CLASS CONTRARY to all custom and tradition firmly established in our midst from the beginning of time, we shall not say that we of December, ’28, are the finest and the best, nor shall we say that we are the quintessence of the intellectual community known to outsiders as Girls High. But on the other hand, we are absolutely confident that jio single group can acquire the genius for enjoying life that is the possession of December, ’28. Jeanette Gormley, president and elected leader of the group, has concluded that the ideal way to lead is to allow each to pursue her own inclinations. By the by, Gorm” at some future date will edit a publication the subscribers of which shall be exclusive radicals. Perhaps Russia will solicit her talent. Elinor Hoffman follows Gorm’s” principles in the capacity of vice-presi- dent. Patricia Boreham, the secretary, has given up all hope of keeping min- utes.” Elizabeth Lippitt, vice-president of the Student Body and assistant class yell leader (or cheer) is more commonly known as Slip” or Witty Winnie Wig.” Mussed or out of place hair is not tolerated. Recall the former worries. She wavers between a dramatic critic and a tap dancer. Elizabeth Lummis is secretary of the G. H. S. Student Body. Betty’s most striking accomplishment is the possession of greatly envied long golden wavy hair which can be successfully held in a pug. Vermeil Giacobbi is a versatile person. Besides having expressive shoulders she can sing, dance, coach choruses (to wit H.3 and H.4) and design prize posters. When bookworm meets bookworm! From casual remarks we gleaned that Joy Stuart will be a bacteriologist. Something hard to spell, of course. However, to say at this time a logical person would conclude that Decem- ber, ’28 is the class of classes in the school of schools. —Reducio ad absurdum. 30
