24 LAMPAS 1928 — BOSTON TEACHERS COLLEGE HILDA BENSLIMAN Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair . . . Art Club ' 26; Drama Club ' 26; French Club ' 28. Hilda ' s hobby is tripping the light fantastic. Her demure manner veils a gay heart and a love of activity. She is one of the Three Musketeers, — al- ways to be found near Mary and Anna. ANNA BURKE Zealous, yet modest ; innocent, though free ; Patient of toil ; serene amidst alarm. Athletic Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, (Secretary ' 26.) Anna ' s modesty conceals a rich personality. Her composure and irrepressible humor in the midst of stirring events, such as athletic games and exams, are universally envied. Her vast repertory of songs has often brightened our load of care. How do you do it, Anna? KATHERINE COLLINS And wit its honey lent, without the sting. Drama Club ' 26, ' 27; French Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Who would suspect our quiet and efficient libra- rian of possessing such a rich vein of humor? Her laughing eyes might betray it, but her demureness belies it. Nevertheless, she is responsible for many a gay sally and many an outburst of song that issues from our locker room.

LAMPAS 1928 — BOSTON TEACHERS COLLEGE RUTH ADAMS Admirably schooled in every grace . . . Athletic Club ' 27, ' 28; French Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Music Club ' 27, ' 28. Dainty Ruth! Pretty, pleasant and up-to-date. Although she is reticent about her accomplishments, we know that in bowling and in baseball she ' s a star, and that as a pianist she has the telling ' touch. We wonder if her sudden interest in aviation will make her flighty. MARY BARRETT The joy of youth and health her eyes display ' d Art Club ' 26; Athletic Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Camera Club ' 28; Classical Club ' 25, ' 26. Our Babe Ruth! Her nonchalant manner, cheery grin, and even temper, with her all-round athletic ability, make her the good sport that she is. When we hear her informal arguments in class, how we sigh for a T. C. B. debating society! ELLEN BAYLEY of her golden hair Athletic Club ' 25, ' 26; Drama Club ' 25; Science Club ' 26 (Vice-President ' 26). Clever, naive, whimsical Ellen! Was ever one more versatile ? Solving problems in mathematics or writing nonsense rhymes are equally easy to her. Shall we ever forget her very original arguments which brightened many an hour in Government?

COONEY match le Art Club ' 28; Athletic Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Drama Club ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; English Club ' 28. Away, dull care, for Mary C ' ooney ' s Tiere! Mary is not merely cheerful; she makes everyone else cheerful, too. It ' s a positive delight to be in a class with her, though most of us can ' t hope to be. Little boys and girls have a treat in store for them when she starts teaching. ANNA DIRKSMEIER Wise to resolve, and patient to perform — Drama Club ' 26; English Club ' 28; French Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Anna promises to be one of Boston ' s most pro- gressive French instructors. Her sincerity and earnestness, as well as her unruffled manner, make her an agreeable person to have about.
