The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 JEAN OLIVE FREDERICK Jean Greenlawn, Long Island Noyes School of Rhythm Honor Roll ' 26, ' 27, ' 28 Courant Board ' 26, ' 27, ' 28 Editor-in-Chief ' 27, ' 28 French Play ' 28 Three years Senior Mid Play ' 27 Draper Dramatics ' 26 Senior Play ' 28 Fidelio ' 26 Miss Hammond, don ' t you agree? This is a sign to settle back comfortably for an early morning snooze while Jean and Miss Hammond discuss the relative merits of this and that. Ah Jean, how many predicaments you ' ve brought us out of by keeping our fair instructress thus engrossed. Quite seriously, however, you have something to talk about and your literary compositions show it. We shall expect to see in the next ten years a new magazine on the news- stands; and may it be as successful as our own Courant which you manage so well. Class Treasurer ' 25 Choir ' 28 Q. E. D.

She ' s only President of the A Society and Q. E. D. and Business Manager of the Class Book and Secretary of A. A. A. and in the Senior Play and a few little things like that — really nothing. Gee Gee and Jo Jo are an example to all roommates for their really remarkable dispositions. If they ever disagree we never know it, that is, of course, except on the subject of Harvard and Yale. Run down Harvard to Gee Gee and she ' ll not love you. Aside from that she ' ll stand almost anything! 14

The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 DOROTHEA MAE DOW Dottie Montclair, New Jersey Three years Fidelio ' 26 A. S. D. Play ' 28 A. D. S. ' 27, ' 28 Senior Mid Play ' 27 Senior Play ' 28 Draper Dramatics ' 28 Who is playing the lead? Dottie, of course. What Abbot play is complete without her? Not the least famed of her performances was at the Senior Picnic. When we want a chaperon we will engage her. When looking for Dot Dow search first, last, and always in the Senior Parlor. Here she may always be found in the exact center of a circle of girls. We hear she ' s surrounded at home quite as much. LOIS ADELAIDE DUNN Laddie Lock Haven, Pennsylvania Wellesley Advisory Board ' 28 Two years ' Honor Roll ' 28 Laddie, will you please take your nose out of that Latin grammar long enough for me to do a write-up about you? That girl does study and the nice part of it is that she obtains the desired results. Once in a while, though, you hear that trickle of laughter run up the scale when she and Betty cavort together. And, she ' s the kind that will give you a cracker when you ' re just starving — pretty much all right. 13

The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 FRANCES BRYDEN GOULD Fran Class Secretary ' 26 Q. E. D. ' 27, ' 28 Advisory Board ' 27 Merit Committee ' 27, ' 28 President Student Council Bible Group Leader ' 26 Hockey Numerals ' 27 Winchester, Massachusetts Three years Class President ' 26 Treasurer A. C. A. ' 27 Student Council ' 27 Northfield Delegate ' 27 28 Senior Play ' 28 Hiking Leader ' 28 Second Hockey Team ' 28 What would we do without Fran? Who else could so successfully preside over Student Council meetings? Who else would receive fifty-three page letters and daily cablegrams? Who, other than Fran, could so determinedly defend the Gargoyles ' goal, as, almost hidden behind her enormous shin guards and armour she valiantly moves her hockey stick. Although Fran can look very dignified and solemn, anyone who lives on the second floor front can, perhaps, explain those undignified chortles that re-echo through the corridor occasionally. MARGARET GRAHAM Peg Andover, Massachusetts Mt. Holyoke Four years Arm Band ' 25 Entertainment Committee ' 28 Class Vice-President ' 26 Athletic Council ' 28 Baseball Numerals ' 25, ' 26, ' 27 A. D. S. ' 28 Hockey Numerals ' 26, ' 27 A. D. S. Play ' 28 Student Council ' 28 Posture Honor Roll ' 26, ' 27, ' 28 Carnival Committee ' 27 Head of Hockey ' 28 Third Vice-President of Student Government ' 28 Hockey Team ' 28 Peg does have such a hard time bringing up all the day scholars in the way they should go. Between that and being Psycho-analyzed now and then she ' s rather busy. Her front row seat in Chapel is very wearing on her, she says. We ' ve noticed that she often works off steam in English Class with Diz. Last, but not least, of her accomplishments is Hockey. Lead her to the Hockey field, hand her a stick, and watch her go! 15
