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

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

The Abbot Circle 19 24 HELEN KEATING Keats Mansfield, Ohio Two years Class President ' 23 Arm Band ' 23 Entertainment Committee Chairman ' 24 Basketball Numerals ' 23 Conrant Board ' 23, ' 24 Fidelio ' 23 Senior Mid Play ' 23 Bible Group Leader ' 24 Senior Play ' 24 Honor Roll ' 23, ' 24 Author English V Play ' 24 A. D. S. ' 24 ' Tis no task for some to shine. Here, there and everywhere. That ' s our well- known Keats — Is there anything she can ' t do? She ' s chairman of the entertainment com. and looks after all our parties where we have such a good time. And now she has written that darling play — we all loved it so, and were very much relieved to know that everything turned out happily after all. Keats hasn ' t any special talent she ' s such a jack of all trades. And even if we do get somewhat envious of her at times we all love her just the same. RUTH HUBBARD KELLEY Ruthie , Scoops Newton Highlands, Mass. The Katharine Gibbs School Three years Arm Band ' 21 Fidelio ' 24 Bible Group Leader ' 24 Class Book Board ' 24 Arm Bar ' 23 Author of English V Play ' 23 She is gifted with genius that knoweth much of natural talent. Ruth is one of our playwrights. We expect to see her name in Who ' s Who first of any of us. We ' ve been wondering how it is her room smells so of tobacco. Does a room in Dartmouth smell of the pines at Intervale. And then there ' s Bevo . Bevo may be a drink to some of us but to Ruth—! Nuf said! 25
