Grace Frances Fleek IF loyalty to our na- tive town counts for anything, Newark, Ohio should be happy in possessing Grace Frances Fleek as an inhabitant, for any in- sult against Newark, Miss Fleek takes as personal. She entered Abbot about five years ago and at once established a popularity which is not in the least diminished by the fact that she has grown to the dignity of an Abbot Senior. Grace was unanimously elected vice-president of her class and for three years has been business editor of the Courant. She is a member of the Glee Club and Base Ball team. For three success- ive years she has been a Draper Reader. The Y. W. C. A. would not be complete without her and last year she served as its vice-president. She goes from us to take her loyalty and popularity to her home in Newark. 15

Grace C. Chapman T V HE inhabitants of Portland, Maine, will never forget the peculiar sound that startled the whole city not many years ago. Some thought it was the new chimes and others were at a loss what to make of it, but after inquiring it was found to be Grace Carter Chapman, a child of eight years, laughing at one of Plato ' s theories. Ever since that day she has laughed heartily over languages, mathematics and sciences, when other less gifted mortals have groaned and sighed over them. She has been at Abbot two years and during that time has been a Courant editor, a member of the Glee Club, President of the Y. W. C. A. and is this year a member of the Senior Base Ball team. Next year Grace will return to Portland and once more startle that city with her laugh and learning. T4

Caroline Van Note Oowdy VWTHETHER the yV atmosphere of Toms River is con- ducive to poetry or whether it is one of the characteristics of the family is not known, but that Caroline Van Note Gowdy of Toms River, New Jersey, would be a poet of Andover, if not of world renown was a generally acknowledged fact be- fore she had been in our midst a week. She has written poetry on every possible subject during her two years here, inspired partly by her literary surroundings in And- over and partly by her numerous crushes so it seemed only natural that she should be chosen class poet. Carol is not only a poet but an athlete for she holds the record of the fifty yard dash. As to the future she is undecided but next year she hopes to go abroad. 16
