1933 ALPHA RUTH MADELINE GREGORY Royalston Road, North Winchendon. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Soccer 3. Scouts 1. Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. Whose armor is her honest thought, And simple truth her utmost skill. The problems of life hold no terror or even worry for our Greg. Unperturbed and blithesome, she goes her way leaving the cares and troubles to the rest of us mortals. If time lags and you would be entertained, just look for Greg and she will hold you enthralled with a scintillating review of current events. ANNE GUTMAN 74 Conant Street, Beverly. W. A. A. 4. Topics- of-the-Day Club 4. Orchestra 4. Firm to resolve, Patient to perform. Anne was a newcomer to Bridgewater this year, but it did not take her long to become one of us. She is a welcome addition in the classroom as those of us in History and Soc will testify. And how could anyone who has seen her on the soccer field forget the way she can follow that ball! We ' ve certainly enjoyed your brief stay, Anne, but wish you had come sooner. MARION ETHEL HANRAHAN 1929 Beacon Street, Brighton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Scouts 1, 2. Hobby Club 3, 4. Scotch grit and Irish wit. Marion is a girl with a purpose. We all admire her for overcoming obstacles, keeping that sense of humor busy, and keeping on toward that same goal — to teach the blind. Her hobbies are manifold — from collecting pennies to collecting plants. Her talents are many; so also are her friends. 24

CLASSES BEATRICE VINTON FITTS 64 Bigelow Street, Quincy. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Director 3, Sec. 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Scouts 1, 2, 3. Culture Fund Committee 1, 2. Topics of the Day Club 3. Normal Offering Board 4. Through worlds and races and terms and times, Saw musical order and pairing rhymes. Beatrice has always reminded us of one of two things: the bass viol, or her artistic ability as shown in the decorations of the Junior social. Because of her experience in the field of music, we expect to find Bea waving her baton somewhere in Quincy or thereabouts. DORIS BLACKSTONE CLIDDEN 4 Farm Street, South Weymouth. Day Stu- dent Council 3. A great deal of talent is lost in this world for the want of a little courage. An ardent worker in church organizations, a movie addict, and an industrious stamp collector are all representative of the many-sided Doris. You didn ' t believe it, did you? Just one more proof that appearances are often deceiving, for quiet girls are not always unresponsive, and unassuming classmates are seldom inactive. RUTH VERNA GLIDDEN Plymouth Street, North Middleboro. Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4. Class Rep. 1, 2, 3, 4. Vice- Pres. of class 1, 2, 3, 4. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies. Ruth ' s name spells A-R-T to our minds. All her achieve- ments are colored by her vivid and joyous personality and her appreciative artistry. Decoration committees, posters, school seals, Christmas cards — all have felt the influence of her brush. 23

CLASSES MARJORIE VIOLET HARRINGTON 119 Washington Street, Stoughton. Garden Club 2, 3, 4. Library Club 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Topics of the Day Club 4. To be sincere. To look life in the face, With calm, undrooping eyes. Marjorie has that faculty we all admire of accomplishing miracles at short notice. Big business executives have noth- ing on Marjorie when she gets going. It would be hard to find a keener mind and a more likable personality in one girl. HILDA HELEN HEIKKILA Centre Street, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Bowling 4. Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Day Student Coun- cil 1, 2, 4. Poster Committee 4. In solitude, where she is least alone. Do you like to see things done quietly and beautifully? Watch Hilda. Do you like to watch a musician play a violin as though she loved it? Again — watch Hilda. Are you an epicurean soul? If so, consult Hilda some summer in Marsh- field when she is spending her vacation there. We promise you — you won ' t be disappointed. LOUISE VIRGINIA HEWITT Centre Street, Pembroke. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Swimming 1. Basketball 1, 2. Hockey 1. Base- ball. Bowling 2, 3,4. French Club 1, 2. Drama- tic Club 2, 3, 4, President 4. Secretary of class 4. Thou hast so much wit, and mirth, and spleen about thee, That there ' s no living with thee, or without thee. Don ' t you enjoy people who are essentially themselves? Squeaks is, — especially in the case of a laugh. In fact the only times she changes are when we see her as an imitator of George Arliss in our own Dramatic Club productions. One of her strongest points is her ardent home-town boosting. Have you ever listened to her soap box orations ? 25
