She has shown us that much is to be gained by basking in such ghastly light, for she is not only a class leader in scholarship, but a great worker in social and athletic affairs. It is always difficult to say just where she is, but the nearest guess is somewhere between Middleboro and Hanover, going strong. Ruth's crowning achievement came in her A year, when she put the Lost and Found Department on a paying basis. MARION BOTTOMLEY 625 June Street, Fall River. Dormitory Council '28: Library Club '27-H283 Library Staff '28g IV. A. A. '28. One of the first things they told us in 1924 was that good thick notebooks meant something . Marion took it liter- ally. XVe remember the day when she had to make three trips to bring in her literature notebook. Never mind, we may be jealous, but we admit her laurels. Few of us know more about books and libraries than Marion, and that will give her prestige-that indefinable something-in teaching. 9 Paul Rex ere Road, Arlington heights, Mass. Clee Club '24-'26, WV.

Unassuming, yet one always finds her present when occasion demands either hard work or a bit of nonsense. Briny's penmanship causes her much an- noyance, so she usually resorts to a special system of printing with characters all her own. Normal Hall is going to lose a Fine song-leader and hockey-team member when Briny leaves in june. The campus will lose the sight of Briny and Peg strolling about, and they are going to be missed. -4 16 t...

CLASSES CLARA MARY ALMSTEAD 79 VVest Street, Greenfield, Mass. VV. A. A. '24-285 Hockey '24-'28g Basketball '24'-285 Baseball '24-'28g VV. A. A. Board '27'-285 President of NV. A. A. '27-'28g NORMAL OFFERING Board '25-'27g Class Secretary-Treasurer '25-'26g Clee Club '25-'26g French Club '25-'26. Clara has poise and a ready vocabulary, thus making us proud of her when she speaks in Chapel. She deserves praise in studies and ath- letics, for she excels in everything that she does. Clara was one of the noble group who elected English history this year. As president of YV. A. A., she continued to uphold the high standards of that organization. MARY DOROTHY BAIR 1 Healy Street, Dudley, Mass. NV. A. A. '25-'28g Library Club '24-'28g Secretary-Treasurer of Library Club '26-'27g Dormitory Council '26-'27g Vice-President of Normal Hall '26-'27g Hospitality Committee '26-'27, Mary Bair is one of those fortunate persons who possesses a disposition which refuses to become ruffled. Mary gives one the impression of being demure, but don't you believe it! One day, just before school, she succeeded in locking herself in her room and had to be rescued by a knight in overalls, armed with ham- mer and screw-driver. Mary is worthy of being called friend, LILLIAN ISABEL BLINN Main Street, Dighton. Garden Club '24-'26. NV. A. A. '24-'27, Blinnie belongs to the group of commuters from Fall River. A straight black bob buried perhaps in a book on the history of arty rimmed glasses perched on a straight noseg a smile even in the face of difficulty-that might describe Blinnie. ...z 1... m 15 r

A. '24-'26, Frankie has charm, and though we never expect to know exactly what personality is, we think she has that, too. Graceful, a leader in dancing class or at any social gathering, and not afraid of self-ex- pression-these are some of the things to remember about Frankie. And ever so many people are going to remember her, missing her red sports-coat flashing around school. BEATRICE ELENA COOKE MARGARET DOLORES BURNS 86 Ash Street, Fall River, Mass. French Club '25-'28g Glee Club '25-'27, Orchestra '25-'28. If real digging and perseverance are the necessary qualities for success, Do is well started on that road. But although she works hardest on her studies, Do is far from being one-sided, she is an excel- lent violinist and has contributed to the orchestra's efficiency this year. Au revoir and good luck! Petersham, Mass. Library Club '27-'28, Library Staff '27-'28. Bea is a much used nickname, but the owner of this particular Bea lends the name rich associations of ability, earnestness, and quiet loyalty. The real Bea is apt to remain hidden, but closer acquaintance discovers the great worth of her friendship. Beatrice is the author, too, of verses that are inspiring. We shall not soon forget this unassuming, competent Normalite, and we shall watch for her literary output in the future. ...4 17 5...
