The list of props that she handled for the class play was enough to stagger a professional, and to that was added the ticket racket Yet she could still stand up and declaim, Once more unto the breach. Clive Wright can always furnish the information necessary in questions of rural town and school management. This should be an enormous help in organizing an Alaskan mining camp. Four beloved classmates we must leave behind, to the mercy of those to come. Beatrice and Benedict, Abelard and Heloise, we who are about to depart salute you. Juniors, guard them well! Mr. Holmes, our champion, our adviser, and our friend, has smoothed the path and, best of all, has been able to laugh with us. He belongs in a special way to our class- he has stood for us. 23

5' 'Z uw.-.N 'L 2. -3-1--Sh -1' THE CLASS OF 1934 lvlariam Austin is always first. Alphabetically, In public favor, In our hearts, Our president-ever ready to provide a Hrm foundation to our trembling vocal' efforts with her strong and cxcellent piano accompaniments. Abie Bradford has quite recently, we hear, begun to take much interest in the rural areas about North Adams. Even muddy roads fail to turn her from her purpose. And, as ever, we know that Abie will accomplish that which is her goal. Thelma Cary is, we are ready to admit, quite an artist, but how many of us knew that her hooked rug design was meant to be a tree? Of course, only a contortionist could figure it out, but our information came directly from the designer. Kitty Eichert's fighting spirit successfully pulled the Drama Club through the fearful depression year. What better glory could there be? Mae Flannery and Helen Horan must here, as everywhere else, appear together. Ah, would that to us, their happy lot of carefree afternoons had fallen! Sal Fleming actually hit the baseball at least twice in our first practice game of the 1934 season. This fact alone places Sally in a special niche as the class athlete. Ruth Gleason has something to be eternally thankful for-nature did not endow her with orange hair and eyebrows. Would you ever believe she could be such a tough orphan? Nita Hazelton has at least five strings to her fiddle--or should we say 'c:llo?- and what a gift it must be to know intimately, several faculty members! Elizabeth Hewitt bounds lightly over all the troublefspots of our college life, but we wonder if she bounded quite so lightly the day that she pursued the bull. Nellie Karrey can cause the strongest of us to quake with fear when she gets properly excited in a volley ball game and really aims the leather cannon ball. Fran Lewis sincerely hopes that no one would be so unkind as even to offer her an apple a day. Don't worry Fran, we're with you, and looking for dances at the prom. jane Loomis must never be allowed to forget the location of Siberia, nor must we forget the invaluable help she gave in our Tuesday study periods when we couldnit remember whether wood pulp came from China or Nebraska. Doris Marchant, as the class fiancee, must get our heartiest best wishes. However, Doris, you must remember that Boston is a long way from home, and that we are but youthful college girls. Helen Naughton is the class perennial-she comes up every year. We wonder what the particular attraction was when Helen appeared as Daddy Long Legs- not quite so old nor quite so fatherly as was supposed. Elizabeth Rugg has an extra share of distinction. Besides being the classfblonde and president of the Student Council, she walks nonchalantly away with the first job. But should you be so hard on the dreamy pupils, Elizabeth? Evelyn Shakar positively loathes busses, and particularly that seven-thirty from Adams, so can we blame her for choosing to arrive in comfort? And, Evelyn, we loved your hhippyfpotimusf' Peg Seery, Florence Swartzer, and Helen Newell-the most harmonious of eternal triangles, were generally the only three who ever agreed on an issue in our stormy class meetings. A basket lunch is always a practical suggestion when motoring to football games. 22
