Olje Annual Athenian MARTHA GRIFFIN “Martha Jane” “Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that speaks and eloquence of eyes.” A penny for your thoughts. Martha is always dreaming. We wonder why. Her thoughts are usually up on Mile Hill. Martha is pensive, studious and sedate. Record—Peripatetic Club '26, Le Cercle Francais ’26, Girls’ Athletic Assoc. ’24, Philomathean ’26. EDITH HINE “Hinzy” “I love tranquil solitude And such society as is quiet and good.” Dignified? Perhaps she is, but Edith is always ready for a good time. Edith has many good qualities. If only we could catch her without her dignity we wonder what we would find. Record—Chorus ’23, ’26, Operetta ’23, ’26, Girls’ Athletic Assoc. ’23, Peripatetic Club ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26, Philomathean ’26. MARGARET KEELER “Margie” “They are only great who are truly good.” Margaret believes that “silence is golden.” Even if she does you never saw a more conscientious worker. We are sorry that she didn’t join the class sooner. Record—Peripatetic Club ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26. MARION KINGSLEY “Polly” “ ’Tis good to be merry and wise.” Marion is very modest and self-reliant. She is another one of the members that didn’t join the class until this year. Record—Peripatetic Club ’26, Chorus ’26, Operetta ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26.

DAISY DURRANT “Dippy “Who mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth. If she has any faults she has left us in doubt. Little, but oh my! You know that good things come in small packages.

ELINOR ESTABROOK “None knew thee but to love thee Nor named thee but to praise. On July 8, 1924 our class lost for the first time a member by death, Eleanor Estabrook. Elinor was a very conscientious student and ranked high in all her school work. Her friendship was golden and she had a winning personality. She was a great loss to our class, because she did everything she could to make it a success. She played the violin in the orchestra and also belonged to the Sophomore Hiking Club. We all enjoyed hikes in the wods with her because she knew so much about nature. The morning Elinor was taken ill she had planned to go on a hike with us. As weak as she was she took a history examination in June in order to have credits enough in September to rank as a Junior. Neither Elinor nor any of her friends realized during the winter what a deadly disease was overcoming her, but she struggled on, trying her best to keep up her standard until her strength failed.
