The Abbot Circle 1924 MARGARET BUSH Peggy Essex Fells, New Jersey Wellesley Two years Arm Band ' 23 Basketball Numerals ' 23, ' 24 Honor Roll ' 23, ' 24 Basketball Team ' 24 A Society ' 24 Q. E. D. ' 24 Bible Group Leader ' 24 A. A. A. Treasurer ' 24 Senior Play ' 24 There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one ' s ability. Peg is one of our numerous athletes. She can do almost everything. We know because we saw her impersonating Ben Hur at Intervale, on the toboggan slide. Peg is a fine all-around girl, and can she laugh?! The rashest thing she has yet done is bob her hair!! Peg is chuck full of pep when it comes to fun, and determination when it comes to studies! NANCY CHAMBERLIN Hefty Windsor, Connecticut Wellesley Two years Class Book Board Arm Band ' 23 Fidelio ' 23, ' 24 Honor Roll ' 24 Spanish Play ' 24 French Play ' 2 4 Thumping, and plumping Bumping, and jumping. Will we ever forget Hefty in Math class? I don ' t believe it ! When to our great delight and Miss Kelsey ' s chagrin, she would wave the pointer wildly over her head, trying in vain to explain her problem. What contortions Hefty did have to make to get into her clothes going down to breakfast! Her favorite haunt was the tea-room where she would indulge — -extrava- gant creature — in a cup of black coffee; but very reducing, eh Hefty ?

' 24 Chairman of Calendar Committee ' 24 We must laugh before we are happy. Giggle giggle! I wonder who that can be? It ' s not very hard to guess. That ' s Betty Bragg. How many times a day do we hear Betty ' s laugh run up and down the scale! But there is a great deal more to Betty than that. She can draw and sketch like a real one . Does she act? Think of the Senior Play!! POLLY ETHEL BULLARD Pol Elmira, N. Y. Smith Three years Student Government President ' 24 Fidelio ' 23, 24 Honor A President of Class ' 22 Hockey Team ' 24 Hockey Numerals ' 22, ' 23, ' 24 Arm Band ' 23 Glee Club ' 21 Northfield Delegate ' 23 A Society ' 23 Entertainment Committee ' 21 Honor Roll ' 24 To know her is to love her. Polly is our dignified President of Stu. G. She doesn ' t have such a hard job to keep us all good, because we like to behave for her. Pol is another one of our athletes, and plays hockey as though her life depended on the winning of the game. Pol has ambitions, but will she ever get to Ellis Island? 16

T h e A b b o t C ir c I e 1924 LILA CLEVENGER Brookline, Mass. Smith Two years Basketball Team ' 23, ' 24 Arm Band ' 23 Basketball Numerals ' 23, ' 24 A Society ' 23, ' 24 Honor Roll ' 24 Captain of Basketball ' 24 You are born to success and will achieve it. What will the school do without Lila and Bobby? That grinning pair will be sadly missed. Lila will be missed in sports too, for there never was such a basketball player. We feel sure she could make a basket standing on one ear, she ' s so in the habit of making them. Judging from her facial expression during exams, Lila doesn ' t take them quite as easily. However, she is successful in them as in everything else she attempts. MARGARET COBURN COLBY Peg Claremont, N. H. Smith Two years Courant Board ' 23, ' 24 Baseball Numerals ' 23 Arm Band ' 23 Fidelio ' 24 Honor Roll ' 24 Student Council Secretary ' 24 Whatever anyone does or says, I must be good. Peg has surely lived up to her motto this year. In fact none of the Preps suspect that last year she played the leading part in all those fudge and pancake parties over in Sherman. We have heard she is a wonderful cook and would like to prove it; but alas! Stu. ( . has ended her escapades. And how Peg can ski! We discovered that at Intervale. Indeed Peg is one of the best all-round sports we know.
