Lampas 1929 Dorthy Viva Boutwell In thoughts, in ivords, in deeds, She was in all these — individual. Art Club ' 26, ' 28, ' 29; Drama Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; English Club ' 28, ' 29; Science Club ' 27 (Treasurer ' 27). In contrast to so many of us prosaic individuals, Dorthy stands out for the diversity of her interests. Painting, sculp- ture, music, and psychology provide outlets for her surplus energy. Judging from her discussion of problems arising in our Education courses, we feel certain that Dorthy will be able to manage her affairs with extraordinary wisdom. To round out this impression of versatility, we must add that if Dot has ever vetoed a suggestion to go to the- theater, to a concert, or for a walk, we were never aware of it. Last, but not least, her poetry! However we need not discuss that for we have all read some of her verse. Goldie Brass You possess the charming art of never annoying, and of always contradicting. Athletic Association ' 28; Classical Club ' 28, ' 29; Drama Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; French Club ' 27. During the four years she has been with us, Goldie has done much toward keeping up the spirit of our class. To date, nothing has been discovered which can disturb her laughing equanimity. A thesis? — a mere trifle! A mid-year or a final exam? — nothing to get excited about! A lesson to teach? — who will soon forget that memorable lesson on Cattle in Geography? Goldie often stoutly defends the opposition in any question which arises. If she ever has, in her own class, a pupil with that same tendency, the result ought to be inter- esting!

Lampas 1929 Florence Barrish A taste for books is the glory and -pleasure of her life. Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 27); Welfare Club (Group Leader ' 27); English Club ' 28, ' 29 (Vice- president ' 29); French Club ' 29. Florence might have many epithets applied to her, but perhaps the most telling one would be that of book lover. Undoubtedly ' , this love for books accounts for her special interest in the English Club. Let us discover Florence in some corner of the Students ' Room or of the Reception Hall. If by chance, we should overhear the conversation, we should recognize it at once as being a discussion of some man of letters, be it Browning, Pierre Loti, or Hugh Walpole. Let us not forget, however, that this book lover is a genuine girl with many social interests. She has exceptional beauty, a pleasing manner, and an individual and tasteful mode of dress. Dorothy Frances Baxter And heaven ' s soft a% un her eyes was seen. Athletic Association ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Camera Club ' 28, ' 29 (First Vice-president ' 28, President ' 29); Drama Club ' 29; Science Club ' 29. Dot is one of our finest athletes, a clever mathematician, and an embryo scientist of no mean note. We sometimes wonder what makes her so attractive to everyone. Is it her good looks, her charming personality, or both? Her natural gaiety and vivacity add pleasure to every social gathering. Throughout her years with us at The Teachers College, Dot has ever been willing to lend a ready hand where help was needed. What should we have done without the inseparable Dot and Mary at all our Bridges? Twenty-nine was fortunate in having Dot as a member.

Lampas 1929 Anna Louise Brawley Her air, her manners, all admired; Courteous and gentle, tho ' retired. Class Treasurer ' 28; Welfare Club (Secretary ' 28, Advisory Board ' 26, ' 29); Athletic Association ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Drama Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; English Club ' 29; Science Club ' 28, ' 29. All S IV is grateful to Anne, its only Chemistry Major, for the many willing and unheralded services she has done to make our class and club activities a success. High scholarship, together with an unusual interest in literature, account for the fact that Penelope knows. Glance at the clubs listed above! The long list only partially indicates Anne ' s versa- tility. These interests, which she is ever ready to follow, make Anne herself most interesting to anyone. Would that we had her limirless vocabulary ! What we like best, however, is Anne ' s sweet humility — her willingness that another ' s work should be praised, another ' s opinions accepted — while she still maintains an ideal of service that all might imitate. Harriette Marie Brazzelle Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful Jollity. ' ' Vice-president of Class ' 29; Lampas Staff; Welfare Club (Vice-president ' 28, President ' 29); Drama Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; English Club ' 28, ' 29; Geography Club ' 29- Personality plus seems to be the term that best describes Harriette. Her dynamic force of character has been evident to us in many ways during the four years we have known her. It is only natural that it should seek a dramatic outlet; and Harriette possesses histrionic talent to a remarkable degree, as her incomparable Touchstone in As You Like It and her memorable Mrs. Ruggles in Birds ' Christmas Carol bear wit- ness. Both her club activities and her daily class work are vitalized by this dramatic ability. Her delightful sense of humor and her true college spirit never fail to start the ball rolling or to keep it in motion.
