SENIORS 17 bright remarks and contagious laugh to keep us going. Our most cherished memory of Cobb, and we have many, is of her swirling- round and round down the hill in a two by four pan up at Intervale — with those two little tassels on her cap bobbing up and down. VIRGINIA ELIZABETH DRAKE Ginny Wichita, Kansas Wellesley Two Years C our ant Board ' 28; C our ant Editor-in-Chief ' 29; Senior Mid Play ' 28; Senior Mid Banquet Committee ' 28; Senior Banquet Committee ' 29; Athletic Council ' 29; Gargoyle Croquet Team ' 28; Gargoyle Archery Team ' 28; Head of Archery ' 29; Numerals ' 28; Gargoyle Volley Ball Team ' 28. Ginny is Millie ' s room-mate and she certainly makes an ideal one for the honored President of Student Government. We won- der if she ever has any craving to misbehave. Perhaps she gets away with things — who knows ? ? She can dance beautifully, and the whole school is mighty glad to have her when it comes to stunts of any sort. Of course, we all know her ability on the C our ant board. When it lacks material, she just sits down and writes it off by the yard. We sure take our hats off to you, Ginny!

16 THE ABBOT CIRCLE GERTRUDE MAE CAMPION Andover, Mass. Four Years Fidelio ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Aeolian ' 28, ' 29; Secretary and Treasurer of Aeolian ' 29. Gertie is what one might call a frail flower. She seems so delicate that one good puff of wind might blow her completely away, but that doesn ' t mean she can ' t do things. Just hearing her play the piano will more than prove that. She has been in Fidelio for three years and in the Aeolian Society for two and, as you may see above, she is now Secretary-Treasurer of Aeolian. Gertie is -another day- scholar that we boarders have become really acquainted with this year, partly through the Senior Parlor, and partly through Intervale — and we surely are grateful to both. FRANCES CONDIT COBB Cobb Boonton, N. J. Pratt Institute Five Years Fidelio ' 23, ' 24; Northfield ' 25, ' 28; Entertainment Committee ' 28; Croquet Team ' 29; Senior Play ' 29. Cobb has been here five years altogether. She left one year and went to another school — only to discover, as all true Abbot girls do, that Abbot is the best school after all — and the cat came back . We ' re glad she did. Imagine our class without Cobb ' s

18 THE ABBOT CIRCLE Captain of Griffins ' 29; Nor th- field Delegate ' 28; German Play ' 29. May has more in common with the musical star, Mary Eaton, than just a name, for she is little, and blonde, and pretty. What more could any girl want? But Mary is not satisfied with that alone; she must have her finger in everything. Her accomplishments are many, ranging from athletics to choir, and finally to Captain of the Griffins. May makes a fine leader and has inspired many a Griffin to trudge forth in a downpour of rain to finish her walks in order to gain points for her club. May has a mischievous twinkle in her eye and a spontaneous laugh which bursts forth at the wrong time. Just ask Mr. Howe. BARBARA ELLIOTT Barb Bobbie Willimantic, Conn. Connecticut College Two Years A necessary member of our class is Barbara with her ever- lasting good humor and wit. When we ' re blue we go to Barb, for we know her charming naivete will cheer us up. Her merry giggle can always be heard on the third floor wing; no — not always — ' cause often it ' s overwhelmed by more raucous mirth which some bon mot of hers has elicited. Barbara is one of our class artists, and we ' re sure she ' ll end up (thanks to Miss Kelsey) doing clever comic strips.
