The Abbot Circle 19 24 KATHERINE H. HART Kay Chelsea, Mass. Secretarial School Two years Fidelio ' 24 Arm Band ' 23 Croquet ' 23, ' 24 Arm Bar ' 24 A merry Hart maketh a cheerful countenance. Katherine Hart, you ' re a wonder. Tell us how do you play croquet? Kay just looks at the ball, smiles, and presto — there it goes! Way down to the other end of the field, hitting Brad- ford ' s ball with a bounce that means she ' s out to win. And Kay ' s laugh — whew. She showed us a fine sample of it the other night. Between her and Hefty the whole dining-room was disgraced one night. But when Kay is by herself and not under such bad influences, she ' s an awfully nice quiet girl — . RUTH TALBOT HAWLEY Hawley Baldwinsville, Mass. Smith Two years Class Book Board ' 24 Advisory Board ' 24 Arm Band ' 23 Honor Roll ' 23 In the jetty curls, ten thousand cupids play. We ' ve heard that there was once a song about a girl who, came along and stole all hearts away, and her name was — Ruth, of course! We wonder why she doesn ' t tell the author ' s name, ' cause of course he just must have written it to her — we ' re not quite so easily fooled! And with the Jolly , too — well, doesn ' t she make you think of a Christmas girl on the cover of a December magazine? Ruth can do math. Why, her eyes fairly twinkle on Monday morn- ings! We think her bobbed hair ' s a great suc- cess, if only we all could have a permanent like hers! 23

T h e A bb o t Circle 19 24 ADELAIDE PEARSON HAMMOND Almond Shrewsbury, Mass. Radcliffe Two years Honor Roll ' 23, ' 24 Courant ' 24 Odeon ' 23, President ' 24 Arm Band ' 23, ' 24 Fidelio ' 23, ' 24 My mind is my kingdom. Enter Almond — another renowned mem- ber of our illustrious class. Adelaide is our Odeon president and she ' s on Courant board too — for her strong point is anything along the literary line. And she ' s always ready with a bit of helpful information at the critical moment. Not only do we hear her fame now but sometime in the near future we ' ll be hearing of Adelaide as an architectress — perhaps she ' ll draw the plans of a new Abbot dormitory some day — without squeaky floors — who knows? ELIZABETH HARRINGTON Betty Andover, Mass. Skidmore Four years Student Government ' 23, ' 24 Honor Roll ' 22 Arm Band ' 21 Class President ' 21 Baseball Numerals ' 23 Senior Play ' 24 She ' s pretty to walk with, witty to talk with And pleasant to think of too. Well, how ' s Betty — just as gay and vivacious as ever — and athletic, too. When Betty ' s at the bat, it ' s a case of watch out, you ' d hardly believe that she could get around the diamond so fast without wings, perhaps she has ' em tucked away somewhere. Betty lives on the Hill, too — we wish that we all could live where she does, and go to all the Proms and things, but — such is our fate! And when Betty acts, well, I ' m sure that we all agree that she ' s just the best little heroine ever! 22

The Abbot Circle 1924 ALICE HOBART Allie Boston, Mass. Two years Q. E. D. ' 23, ' 24 Bible Group Leader ' 24 Steadiness is the foundation of all virtue. Alice skates divinely, Alice rides expertly, who wouldn ' t be satisfied with these accomplish- ments? But those are just two of the many things Alice can do. Q. E. D. would dissolve P. D. Q. if Allie were not one of its main sup- ports. You ought to hear her tell stories. We recommend that you write a book, Allie, called How to Improve One ' s Memory by One Eve- ning with Me, because you surely can unravel the yearns . ELEANORE ARGERSINGER IRELAND Elly Johnstown, New York The Katharine Gibbs School Four years Arm Band ' 20 Bible Group Leader ' 23 Arm Bar ' 23 Fidelio ' 23 Northfield Delegate ' 23 Program Committee ' 24 (A. C. A.) Her mode4t manner and graceful air Show her wise and good as she is fair. Well, if here isn ' t one of the well known com- bination of rooms 26-28 — but — what ' s in a name? In spite of the orange curtains amid green rugs, couch covers, and pillows, Eleanore is a true bonny lassie all the same. As to her special hobby — well, it ' s hard to tell — but we ' ve watched her when the mail comes in — Oh, it ' s from Fort Plain! We wonder why she has taken Household Science for so long when she doesn ' t like to cook — and why she doesn ' t bob her bonny locks again — but, of course — she ' s going to Katharine Gibbs next year — so we ' ll have to wait! 24
