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

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

1933 ALPHA BARBARA TUCKER HORTON 2280 Washington Street, Canton. Sec.-Treas. of Normal Hall 3. Library Club 2, 3, 4. Hockey 2, 3, 4. Bowling 3. Dormitory Council 3. She broke no promise, serv ' d no private end, She gained no title and lost no friend. Though quiet and unassuming, Barbara has many valuable suggestions and ideas. Composition is her forte. To read her stories and feature articles is to appreciate what well- written news means. Her reticence of manner is somewhat deceiving, for who is there any more willing to enter into a good time? ELAINE GOODRICH HOWE Bolton. Library Club 4. W. A. A. 3, 4. Gladness of heart is the life of man, and joyful- ness prolongeth our days. Elaine epitomizes the expression, good sport , character- ized by her everlasting good nature, her notorious giggle, and her uh uh which strangely enough expresses the most intense interest. Two troubles haunt her constantly — she has brown eyes, and she can never look sophisticated. VIRGINIA STEWART HOWLAND W. A. A. 2, 3. 1239 Warren Avenue, Brockton. Hockey 1. Scouts 2. Each day she ' s done some new good turn, Some one to help, not praise to earn. Smilingly helpful best describes Virginia to those of us who have needed aid. In both work and play her effervescent humor and cheerfulness are evident. Would that we all had her calm assurance and her optimism when confronted with a hard problem! Because of her scientific inclination, she has saved many a geography class from embarrassment. 26
