The Abbot Circle 1021 CLARA LOUISE CLEVELAND Denver, Colorado Two years Glee Club ' 20, ' 21 Librarian Glee Club ' 21 Fidelio ' 21 Senior Play- Arm Band ' 20 A fine volley of words, gentlemen, and quickly shot off. Listen, is that a Victrola on the third floor front? No, that is just Clara Louise singing something from the latest opera. Surely if you c ' imb up the ladder of fame as speedily as you climb up Andover hills, you will be at the top long before we poor mortals below have reached the lowest rung. Abbot will be proud of you yet, Clara Louise, and when you come East on any of your concert tours remember we are all your friends. But, we beg of you, when you stay at any of the best hotels in the country, do not get up early to clean your room on Sunday morning; — the other guests might not be as obliging as we Abbot girls are. However, we wish you all suc- cess in your career, and here ' s to our Denver rep- resentative. ELINOR P. COCHRANE ' Ellie ' Melrose, Mass. Fidelio ' 20 Bible Group Leader ' 21 Two years Advisory Board ' 21 Arm Band ' 20 Of all the girls that e ' er was seen There ' s none so fine as Elly. Is Ellie from New England? Yes. Has she a New England conscience? You bet she has. Is there anything she attempts that she doesn ' t put her whole spirit into? She can even make the second floor wing behave when she ' s proctor. And her lessons? We bet they ' re prepared as well as anyone ' s. Everyone likes Ellie. Will she do big things in the outside world? Wait and see! 10

The Abbot Circle 192 1 ELIZABETH F. BULKELEY Libby Betty Southport, Conn. Elmira Mandolin Club ' 20, ' 21 Two years Arm Band ' 20, ' 21 Silence -is the perfected herald of every joy. Libby ' s another one of those mysterious people who seems so quiet except to those who know them and then — well, ask Sliv or Clara Louise or Alma; they know her better than any of us. You wouldn ' t call Libby quiet though, if you could hear some of the tales she tells about Hill- side. She and Eunice must have had a pretty good time there. What is Libby going to be? We don ' t know, but after looking at some of the pictures of graceful nymphs dancing on the green, that we see in her room, our thoughts naturally turn to Rhythmic dancing. Do they have a course at Elmira, Libby? DOROTHY CARR ' Dot Chu-CJm ' Melrose, Mass. Fidelio ' 21 Two years Senior Play A heart as sound as a bell. Dot ' s the kind that can read the latest maga- zines in study hour, then go to class and show all A ' s at the end of the term. Dot ' s always doing little deeds of kindness for everyone. And rave, — Oh, my dear, there ' s never a gap in the conversation when she ' s around.

The Abbot Circle 1921 RUTH A. CROSSMAN Rufus Newton Centre, Mass. Two years. Leader Glee Club ' 21 Glee Club ' 20, ' 21 Fidelio ' 20, ' 21 Arm Band ' 20 Arm Bar ' 21 Honor Roll ' 20, ' 21 Business Manager Class Book ' 21 Senior Play English V Play ' 20 Senior-Mid. Play Bible Group Leader ' 20, ' 21 I say just what I think and nothing more or less. Who is that who is constantly moving her lips in an absent-minded manner? Can it be that she was once a nun, and having left her convent, constantly repeats her prayers w hich have be- come second nature to her? No, that is Ruth, our dignified fire captain, repeating her list of lieutenants. Truly, we wouldn ' t be at all sur- prised if you should sing them to us some night in A. C. A. instead of your song. And that re- minds us that here is another singer in our midst, and we feel that she, too, will bring us fame. HARRIET EDGELL ' ' Hat Gardner, Mass. Wellesley Vice Pres. Student Gov ' t. Advisory Board Courant Board Honor Roll ' 20, ' 21 English V Play ' 20 Honor A A Society ' 20, ' 21 Two years Vice Pres. of A. C. A. Bib ' e Group Leader Class Secretary ' 20 Draper Reader ' 20 Senior Play Basketball ' 20 Numerals ' 20 Arm Band ' 20 ' ' Nothing is impossible to industry. When you think of it, how many things are there that Hat hasn ' t received in the line of honors — Honor A, Stu. G.; A. C. A. vice presi- dent, basketball team, Honor Roll, etc. Conse- quently the class is pretty proud of her — and as for drag — well — Hat does have an awful time understanding the clever little jokes that go around the school; — but never mind, Hat, there are some others who have never heard of Goethe, too. 11
