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

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 MARION KING ' ' Men ' ' Janesville, Wisconsin Two years Class Treasurer ' 23 Numerals ' 23 Arm Band ' 23 Spanish Play ' 23 Calendar Committee ' 24 A merry heart goes all the day. What is that funny little rumble in the back of the room? Men laughing of course! The queer thing about it is we always want to laugh, too, when we hear her giggle because it ' s so conta- gious. With Shryock ' s jokes and Men ' s giggles it ' s a wonder room forty-nine is ' ever quiet! Then that funny little nose, it just symbolizes Men; she is so chipper and cheerful we ' re proud to have her in our class. BARBARA ANTOINETTE LOOMER Bob Ballardvale, Mass. Wheaton Two years Her steady soul preserves her fame In good and evil times the same. Who is the girl who has that stunning brown car? Barbara, of course! You know when to use it, too, don ' t you Barbara? How about Bradford Day? We sure all got a thrill when we saw our big Abbot banner on your car in Haver- hill. Some of us would have had to ride on the trolley-car if it hadn ' t been for you. And did you ski, toboggan, and snowshoe with the rest of us at Intervale? We ' ll say you did! Never mind if you never get to class meetings on time, Barbara, we know your heart is in the right place. 26
