20 THE ABBOT CIRCLE did enjoy her duets with Louise on the Senior Picnic. If you want to hear the heartiest laugh in school we advise you to page Peg Esty. She is, also, the champion page-turner for all musical events of importance. DOROTHY MAY FIELD Dot Phillips, Me. Wellesley Two Years Philomatheia ' 28, ' 29; Volley Ball Team ' 28; Honor Roll ' 28, ' 29; Posture Committee ' 29. In the long run Dot has us beaten whether in a foot race or mental test. She just can ' t be out-done when it comes to grades, at least not in the college division of the class. Geniuses are, as a rule, melancholy, but not so with Dot. She may be a bit different, but only in that she is always cheerful. We defy anyone to contradict that statement. BARBARA SYLVESTER FOLK Bab Andover, Mass. Boston School of Occupational Therapy Five Years Fidelio ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Class Treasurer ' 26; Senior Mid Play ' 28; Senior Play ' 29; Club Hockey Team ' 29; Club Volley Ball ' 27 And who thinks of Polly, with- out Barbara! The picture just isn ' t complete. For five years Bab has helped to sustain ' 29 by her practical suggestions and sensible ideas. She is a faithful stand-by of

SENIORS 19 OLIVE TAYLOR ELSEY Harrisburg, Pa. Two Years Class Book Board ' 29; Ad- visory Board ' 29; Centennial Ex- hibition Committee ' 29; Senior Play ' 29; Les Beaux Arts ' 29; Draper Dramatics ' 29. Olive is our class artist; for proof, just glance at the sketches in this book. Twinkling dimples and a flashing smile are two of her strong points. Ask the photo - graphers — they know. Will we ever forget the close-ups taken at Intervale? Of course not. and along side of that in our minds will be the memory of Olive and Gillie going at double-quick time through the intricate steps of the latest dance from Pennsylvania. MARGARET ESTY Peg Framingham, Mass. Two Years Advisory Board ' 28; Choir ' 28, ' 29; Fidelio ' 28, ' 29; President of Fidelio ' 28; Aeolian ' 28, ' 29; President of Aeolian ' 29; Draper Dramatics ' 28; Riding Team ' 28; Club Hockey Team ' 28. While laboring through a math test we are pretty sure to be enter- tained either by Peg ' s singing or by her Bach Fugues on the organ. We haven ' t decided yet which is most helpful. Peg is our most pro- minent musician and we certainly

She certainly brings lovely ones — and often we wonder where they go ! MARY KENDRICK FRANCIS Polly Andover, Mass. Art School Five Years Fidelio ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Armband ' 25; Track Team ' 28; Numerals ' 28; Student Council ' 28, ' 29; Third Vice-President of Student Council ' 29; A. D. S.

She is either Robert Trowbridge, Jakob Zorn, Gioconda, Harry, or best of all, Pierrot! For hours, we sit enthralled, listening to the passionate voice of our ideal man — then, plop! The lights are on and there stands Polly, our hero. Do you think we are disappointed? Not on your life! Boy or girl, on stage or off, we love her just the same. But acting is only one of Polly ' s numerous virtues. Doesn ' t she make those wild and reckless day-scholars toe the line? HESTER DOROTHE GERRISH Dot Andover, Mass. Holyoke Five Years Odeon ' 29; Entertainment Com- mittee ' 29. Dot may seem quiet in school, but is she that way
