Fair-haired Alice is well-known to all of us, al- though she did not join our class until this year. Who does not admire her serenity and quiet earnest- ness, as well as sigh for her athletic skill? Welcome, Alice, we ' re proud to count you as one of us! GERTRUDE DOWNEY None knew her but to love her — Athletic Club ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Drama Club ' 27; English Club ' 28; Science Club ' 27; Spanish Club ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, (President ' 28); Class Secretary ' 28. A combination of popularity, prettiness, pep, and patience, always good-natured and smiling; that ' s Gertrude. She is as much at home in the classroom as in a Spanish play or in the ballroom. No wonder she ' s a class favorite. MARY EATON What ' er she did was done with so much ease In her alone ' twas natural to please . . .

Secretary Student Self-Government As- sociation ' 27; Ring- Committee Chairman ' 28. Poise, pep, and personality — Webster offers no better descriptive words for Ruth. We shall- always remember her for her stunning clothes, charming manner, casual cleverness, and her enthusiasm for all things peppy. Even conservative Harvard is not proof against her charms. MARY A. 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.

LAMPAS 1928 — BOSTON TEACHERS COLLEGE FREDA EN TOFF Within the midnight of her hair Half-hidden in its deepest deeps — Art Club ' 25, ' 26; English Club ' 28; Spanish Club ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Senorita Entoff we should like to call her, be- cause her ambitions and desires are bound up in that distant country — Spain. One look into her black eyes shows that she has caught some of its dreamy romance. Nevertheless, she ' s lively, enthusiastic and modern. ELEANOR FALLON She is pretty to talk with, And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too. to think on. Athletic Club ' 25, ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Drama Club ' 27; English Club ' 28; Science Club ' 27, ' 28; Year Book Staff ' 28. The life of the party — that ' s Eleanor! Slim, blue- eyed, vivacious! Perhaps it ' s her interest in science that makes her a devotee of motion, for we know that she delights in driving a car, and that she could dance forever. MILDRED GLEESON A taste for books is the glory and pleasure of her life. Classical Club ' 25, ' 26; Drama Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; English Club ' 28 (Vice-President ' 28); Year Book Staff. We wonder if Mildred ' s fondness for reading and for the silver screen can account in part for her serene, subtle, and profound personality ? She ' s one of our most successful students, and we expect that she will soon be drafted into literary ranks.
