The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 MARION BEECHER QUIN Marion New Haven, Connecticut Connecticut College Two years Fidelio ' 27 A. D. S. Play ' 28 A. D. S. ' 27, ' 28 Oh, you are so bourgeois! and with a superior air of scorn Mrs. B-rewster reduces poor Mabel to a humble victim of psycho-analysis. Marion was a star all right in Suppressed Desires. She will be a second Mrs. Gray yet. With Dottie as a shadow (or is she Dottie ' s? — they are both so slim they hardly cast one anyway), she cannot help but be successful on the stage if she keeps it up. We hope that she will deign to grace the stage in Davis Hall sometimes so that future classes may enjoy her acting as we have. SUSAN BACON RIPLEY Sue A.ndover, Massachusetts Five years Honor Roll ' 24, ' 25, ' 28 Posture Honor Roll ' 26, ' 27 Arm Band ' 24 Aeolian Society ' 28, President ' 28 Bar ' 26 Secretary of Student Government ' 28 Class President ' 24 Class Treasurer ' 25 Senior Mid Play ' 27 Les Beaux Arts ' 27 Club Hockey Team ' 28 Class Volley Ball Team ' 26 Numerals ' 27 Second Class Hockey Team ' 26 Fidelio ' 28 Student Council ' 28 Northfield Delegate ' 27 Tea Dance Committee ' 27 Susan-violin-violin-Susan. We can ' t imagine them separated and we certainly wouldn ' t want them to be. Who can forget the solos at the Senior Picnic? Sue is our only five-yearer but this is her first year as a boarder. We don ' t see how we managed without her before. It must be very tempting to be able to see your house from your windows, and she often yields and goes home for a meal. So far she has come back every time. 21

The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 JOSEPHINE GILBERT PARET Jo Moorestown, New Jersey Smith Three years Class Treasurer ' 27 Fidelio ' 26, ' 27, ' 28 French Play ' 26 Choir ' 26, ' 27, ' 28 Senior Mid Play ' 27 Hiking Leader ' 28 Dr aper Dramatics ' 27 Head of Croquet ' 27 French PJay ' 28 Posture Honor Roll ' 27 Abbot Birthday Committee ' 27 Arm Band ' 26 Archery Team ' 28 Athletic Council ' 27 Oh my dear, I ' ve just been for a ride with Miss Burt! Yes, we envy you, Jo, but we can ' t all go to Symphony at the same time. On the stage or off Jo is never at a loss for what to say. We remember her as Harry in Miss Civilisation and what would certain stunts have been without her? Jo is not only a talker but also a writer and we are all acquainted with her poetry. Her ambition, we hear, is to be an authoress. Keep it up and you ' ll get there, Jo. MARY OLIVE PIPER Pipe Sudbury, Massachusetts Two years Fidelio ' 28 Second Hockey Team ' 27, ' 28 Choir ' 28 Baseball ' 27 Numerals ' 28 Club Hocke y Team, ' 28 Posture Honor Roll ' 27 Hiking Leader ' 28 Class Secretary ' 28 Senior Play ' 28 Draper Dramatics ' 28 I ' d like to see anyone try to make me and every- one in the Senior Parlor is very quiet while Pipe goes on the war-path. But she ' s really very calm and effi- cient when calling the roll in class meetings and she writes beautiful records of the last one. Her pet aversions are being tickled and French. One day one of the faculty found out her views on being tickled. The rashest thing she ' s done yet is to decide to let her hair grow. 20

The Abbot C i r c I 19 2 8 KATHERINE ROSS Kay Middlebury, Vermont Radcliffe Two years Arm Band ' 27 Senior Mid Play ' 27 Draper Dramatics ' 27 Posture Honor Roll ' 27 Fidelio ' 27 Philomatheia ' 27, ' 28 Northfield Delegate ' 27 Athletic Council ' 28 Honor Roll ' 28 Second Basketball Team ' 27, ' 28 Head of Hiking Class Volley Ball Team ' 27 Entertainment Committee ' 28 Class Numerals A Society ' 28 First Vice-President Student Government ' 28 Merit Committee ' 28 Giggle, giggle, squeak, squeak, hee, haw! Enter Kay. Apparently nothing ever bothers this merry child except a pair of scales. She could find her way home from any spot within a radius of ten miles, one of the advantages of being Head of Hiking. We hope she goes to Radcliffe now after breaking Miss Mason ' s heart by dropping survey of science. Kay really isn ' t at all fearsome, but when she plays basket ball and charges for you with that terrible glasses- guard we always want to drop the ball and run. CONSTANCE WYER RUNDLETT Connie Portla nd, Maine Two years Class Secretary ' 27 Spanish Play ' 27 Philomatheia ' 27, ' 28 Senior Mid Play ' 27 Northfield Delegate ' 27 Second Basketball Team ' 28 Advisory Board ' 28 President A. C. A. ' 28 Student Council ' 28 Senior Play ' 28 Hiking Leader ' 28 Posture Honor Roll ' 27 Last year none of us knew Connie very well because the little time that she was in Draper Hall was spent in telling Kay, Helen, and Jane to hurry up. However, this year she appears to be quite an intelligent person inasmuch as she was able to reply correctly to her roommate ' s query as to who wrote Lindbergh ' s We. Whether or not Connie will take up social service work is still a matter of doubt; but we can be fairly sure that the being who keeps the mailmen all the way from California busy will occupy a good deal of her time. 22
