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...

'I I 928 NORMAL OFFERING RUTH PARKER BOEHNER 388 Titicut Street, State Farm, Mass. W. A. A. '25-'28g Baseball '25-'28g Basketball '26-'28g Hockey '26-'28, Cfirl Scouts '26-'28, We have often scoffed at the suggestion that students continually burn the midnight oil, but that was before we met: Beanie. 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. A. A. '24-'28, NV. A. A. Board '26-'27, Hock- ey '27-'28g NORMAL OFFERING Board '27-'28. Briny, with her curly smile and pale gold hair, has been a staunch friend during all four years. 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...

l928 NORMAL GFFERING BEATRICE COPELAND 289 Western Avenue, Lynn, Mass. W. A. A. '27-'28g Hockey '27-'28, Basketball '27-'28, Library Club '27-'28. Beatrice came to Normal School after four years of Rad- cliffe. Perhaps her 'past experience accounts for her exhaust- ive use of all the library facilities to study. Her presence in any class always insures the most interesting details, for Bea is generous with the results of research among many dusty volumes. We know that she will follow her profession in a serious, scholarly manner touched with the wit that lurks behind her academic demeanor. BLANCHE CARRINGTON CUTLER 309 Beale Street, Quincy, Mass. W. A. A. '24-'28, Hock- ey '24-'25g Soccer '27-'28g Baseball '25, Basketball '24-'28, Garden Club '24-'25, Glee Club '27-'28, QSecretary-Treasurer '28D, Captain and President of Girl Scouts '24-'28, Choir Leader '27-'28. Ted is known as a very competent and successful leader. The Scouts have made progress under her guidance, and Scout Dances owe much of their prominence in the social calendar to Ted's management and to her genius for making the gym so attractive. Wonderfully clever with her fingers, Ted has dyed, painted, and decorated, astounding us all with her ability in any line of art. Her playing con- tributed much to the enjoyment of the basketball season, and didn't she score Class A's one goal in hockey? WHILMA CLAIRE DESY ' 452 Osborne Street, Fall River, Mass. Secretary of French Club '25-'26g President of French Club '26-'27. Whil- ma is quietly efficient in all her studies, especially those in- volving artistic ability, but in French she is a nine-days' wonder, the despair and inspiration of her classmates. Your industry and ability combined should carry you far, W'hilma. Nos meilleurs souhaits! ...iz 18 5..-
